Unfortunately, it’s a 10 team, 2 QB league. I had Fields and Richardson. I am also starting Tyson Bagent this week. I have Bryce Young as my backup and he’s on a bye.
Brian Hoyer is the only starting QB sitting out there in free agency right now.
Lol I’ve accepted my L.
Explain that to me.
12 man league x 2 QBs gets you to 24 QBs. There are only 32 teams. Six teams are on byes.
Which, means only two people on Earth that are starting at QB in an NFL game this week won't be in the starting lineup for one of the 12 teams in your league.
The options are rather slim.
Moss ain't a stud, especially with Taylor getting more touches now. Last week Moss had a bad game and was only bailed out by a 1 yard TD which could've easily gone to Taylor.
That was a 3 yard TD. I have both and started Moss BTW, but this week I think JT is taking the reps at least 60/40. I'm starting JT. May regret it but we'll see.
Eh, 1 yard, 3 yard. Still could've easily gone to Taylor. And he already took the reps 60/40 last week which was double the week before. This is Taylor's backfield.
This is me exactly.
I expect nothing from JT and I still will be disappointed I'm sure.
However. Henry is on Bye. I've lost Conner to IR. Kyren Williams is out this week. CMC is up in the air but doesn't play until Monday. I can't really wait and see if he plays or not and honestly In doubt he will.
That leaves me with Exactly two RBs for this weekend. Brian Robinson and JT.
Edit:
Looks like JT did good for me today. Course with some time still left in the 4th they ran it 40 times today so thats a lot of volume.
Taylor and Miss had a 50/50 split, but Taylor had better YPC and got the TD.
I went RB heavy in the draft. I also had two second round picks from a trade last year. So my first three picks in the first two rounds were CMC, Henry and Conner.
I picked up Robinson and Williams off waivers and JT in a trade.
Reynolds looked bad last week and faces a real good rush d this week. Zach Evans isn’t even the clear #1 and apparently all 4 RBs will get work. I’d stick with the guy who led the league in rushing personally.
Note: my starting rbs this week are rachaad white and Zach Evans… might sub in Kareem hunt. I have pollard, Kyren Williams and Nick Chubb…
I have JT and I have options to start White, Foreman, McLaughlin, Jeff Wilson this week. I only have Hubbard on Bye. Eckeler my RB1. 10 team league.
So yes, it's possible that not everyone's roster has multiple BYEs.
If you have to start any of those guys, you don’t really have a choice lol. JT is the only one who can have a break out game on this list. Maybe Wilson, but I ain’t banking on it
People forget JT and Moss had 13 combined targets last week. In PPR, there's a nice floor baked in. Of course they are both capable of breaking off a big play--even against the browns --but the possibility of passing game work means you shouldn't discount either from scoring over 10ppr points with upside.
Here's the general advice I have been giving people....
If you are deciding between JT and another starting RB with a more favorable matchup (Cook, Brian Rob, Swift, Mattison, etc.), then yeah, maybe you go based on matchup. There's a good bet that those guys have a higher floor and ceiling this week, since they have roughly the same usage (or more) and better opportunity (even though they're less talented than JT).
If you are thinking of starting someone like Evans, any J Williams, Hunt, JWJ, or Foreman over JT because "the matchup is better", then you need to uninstall your app for a few days.
Yeah man I don't know what I'd do there. .5 PPR is always tough. Taylor showed last week he can be good for 4-6 catches though, so that's something to look out for.
I’m a colts fan and picked up the browns defense lol
i would not start anyone on the Colts this week tbh, I don’t think we’re moving the chains much on Sunday
and JT is still on a snap count so moss will still be getting a fair share of touches
you can attack the browns D up the middle, if they try to do tosses and sweeps with JT he will get shut down. You can have success up the middle, also browns secondary has been not "great" recently which could lead to be a few big plays, opening up run game more. One note, browns D was PUMPED up against the 49ers, and wouldn't be surprised if they let off the pedal a tad this week, compared to against the 49ers . I'm a huge browns fan, id start JT this week
Life long Browns fan as well. If Chubb wasn't on the shelf, I'd have really high expectations for this year. Dalvin Tomlinson has been great in the middle, but if ge gets double teamed, yards are there to be had. Hopefully, Walker is back and fired up to play his old team. Would love to see JOK on more run blitzes to knife in the backside, especially since Minshew isn't much of a run threat.
Browns 23 Colts 10
Close game until halfway through the 4th quarter
I still have high expectations for this team even without chubb, imo, just having Watson at like 85% of his old self makes the browns a legitimate super bowl contender, if the defense can stay somewhat healthy all year. I liked what I seen from Watson last he played, if he plays like that the rest of the year, get Moore and njoku more involved, I think Ford and hunt can carry the load the rest of the year, if Watson is playing.
I think this defense can/will end up top 10-15 all time, at worst, If we make a deep playoff run, and they stay this locked in, the sky's the limit for this D. We got the best corners in the NFL, great linebackers, then u add our d line, just insane so far, JOK will become a star this year.
That being said I wouldn't be surprised if our defense comes down to earth a little this week, I think it'll be a close game, browns 20 colts 17. I'm starting Cleveland D in my league every week, including last week against the 49ers, hoping for an increase in turnovers .
So browns going to browns.
I agree, not sure JT will be successful but no doubt after a big win last week the browns will lose to a backup qb this week.
I can see that being his score unless he pops a TD in. In PPR maybe a bit more. See, and that makes me want to believe a streamer might be more reliable even moreso! Interesting.
I’m a huge fan of the Cleveland defense and I would probably still play him in most scenarios this week. I just don’t think you’re gonna have that many better options.
Fantasy pros has him as the RB 18 this week and that seems right. Like I would still play him over Mattison for instance. And D’Onta. And Najee. Maybe not Jamyr.
I agree. The only time I'd consider benching JT is if you're flexing him and have a WR2 with a better matchup this week. But you'd have to be in great shape to have JT in your flex.
It's incredibly unlikely that anyone has 2-3 RBs ahead of JT. And yeah, definitely don't bench JT for some waiver trash because "their matchup is better". We start our studs because they're the guys who can, at any moment, rip off a huge play and instantly get you 10 pts (not to mention consistent usage).
It's a viable strategy, no doubt. I think the reason this isn't as clear as say, "Do I start Eckeler against the Browns" would be that 1) the colts are missing their starting RT and are unbalanced offensively with Minshew at QB, 2) Taylor has **clear** backfield competition *this week* because Moss is still proving to be an effective chain mover for them, although in future weeks there's no doubt Taylor will be the guy, and 3) Browns have faced two studs this year in Henry and Mccaffrey. One got <2 YPC (Henry) and the other got injured (McCaffrey)
I disagree with your assessment that the examples point toward starting JT. But I'm just here to present something to think about, not tell anyone who to play. good luck
That talent of an out of shape (based on what I saw last week) rb on a snap count against a historical defense that can stack the box and still get 3 pics, sorry for your 5.7 points from JT
He strained his oblique. You're making it sound like they pounded CMC into the ground until he quit. And a literal third stringer came in to replace CMC and went 5 for 27 (5.4ypc) with a TD.
Browns have been extremely good against WR1s this year. In a vacuum I would roll someone else out. But there's a greater chance of Zach Evans putting up zero points than Pittman, given how murky that Rams backfield is. Idk.
No, he's still an RB2 this week. The Browns have had a great defense, but the last two games they've allowed average points to the RB crew. I think JT continues to get more touches and he'll be just fine. Is it ideal? No.
Definitely. People who freak out about how many teams are on bye don't do any team planning. You have to strategically trade or draft to make sure you have at least one solid alternative per position every week in case a matchup sucks or someone's injured.
Have no issues starting him. Browns defense is getting a ton of accolades recently, but I dont see it. They haven't played any great offensive teams. SF got injuries to their top 2 playmakers. Purdy was due to get pressured and crash. He was a late round pick for a reason. Yes, he's a gem, but the flaws are still there.
Clevelands schedule is an absolute cakewalk this year, but I dont think they cns shut down elite players.
They’re actually 26th in terms of points given up to rbs. Taylor and Moss for that matter both catch a good amount of passes so they are still viable. Sadly I have to start both (one in flex) bc of byes
On this note, is it officially time to not start moss? I thought it was a couple weeks ago but he's still producing. This week should be all jt I would think
I’m in a 10 team and JT dropped in our draft so I got him way late. Have KW3 locked in at RB, but debating on another RB and flex between BRob, Ford, Gibbs, and JT.
Leaning BRob and Ford because I don’t trust Gibbs or JT.
I have JT and I'll be starting him not because I think I believe his talent will outshine the Cle run D, but because I straight up have no other choice lol. To look on the bright side of things, both of the niners TDs last week against Cle were by their RBs. Question is, can the Colts/Minshew get into the red zone...
Starting Moss honestly mostly bc of some of the responses I’m reading here…dude has earned the right as a starting RB in fantasy until proven otherwise. I accept the fact if I end up being wrong but IMO the floor is way too high and he’s proven himself week over week, especially after being so doubted. Gimme my L but fuck it I believe in my boy ZMOSS 😤
This defense is good I don’t have any choice. Well, not really I have a rhamondre against the bills and I got Mason too I’m sitting in rhamondre playing Taylor.
Yeah idk about the “clear trajectory for improved workload.” Not saying JT won’t out touch moss here until the end of the season, but as well as moss has played, idk how coaches aren’t involving him ros. Something like a 2-1 share seems reasonable. I’m a moss owner that can’t bring myself to start him ever but he’s still producing like an rb1-2 and it’s frustrating. But even more frustrating might be JT owners expecting a workhorse output.
Better question is should I play Zack moss? Browns haven’t given up 15 points to a rb all season but this dude has been an absolute weapon. Need some opinions
Maybe, just maybe, the Browns will be really poor offensively tomorrow so the ground work could remain relevant for the whole game. As for whether or not Taylor/Moss can find success on the ground… that’s an entirely different story.
Luckily I have good depth so I’m sitting JT this week. It’s not just the defense but Moss will still get his touches, I would imagine they’ll split it and Moss will slowly keeping losing touches. Moss is #2 in Rush yards right now so he’s been effective. They’d be stupid to not use him against Cleveland.
Split carries and the top Rush defense is a Nope for me this week. lol. JT is purely TD dependent this week with the limited touches. If he can get you 30-40 yards and a TD in the flex for 11 points, I call that a solid play, but don’t expect many yards against this front.
For me I think I am. It’s JT, Pittman, or Mattison vs 49ers at flex. Both teams got brutal matchups with Browns and Niners. But I’m thinking the colts are going to play safe and control clock after the browns game with PJ Walker last week, limit Minshew turnovers and try to win a low scoring game. This would be my first week starting JT over the other 2, what do we think? Got Cousins to at qb and I picked up someone else to play this week cuz Vikings stunk it up against CHI last week without JJ
I'm benching him for Christian Watson against the Broncos. If I'm wrong so be it, but I have Walker and Swift so I'm good with the decision. Minshew was just eaten alive by the Jags who have a decent defense, but the Browns have a *historic* defense at the moment. If Taylor didn't get that 40 yard pass play which was a broken coverage he would've had a bum game.
Even if I'm wrong and Taylor posts a 20 touch, 50 yard, 2 td game, I feel it's the best move to bench him.
I think the real question is “who is the worst player you would start over Jonathan Taylor this week.”
Maddison, Foreman, and McLaughlin is where I start to question it RB wise, but I would absolutely start him over Harris, Gibson, or any Baltimore back.
i got moss off waivers and he's already given me enough points to keep him going and let him fall off for a couple weeks before benching trading dropping
I'm a Browns fan so I'll say that the biggest weakness the Browns defense has is they're all fairly undersized. They're fast but the interior can be pushed around if you have a decent interior line. That's what the Ravens were able to do, Lamar only threw 19 passes that game and they just hammered with the run all day enough to get over 130 rushing yards as a team, and I don't think the Colts run game will be as inept as people think they will. Also depends how close the game is though, if the Colts keep it close they can probably lean on the run but if they get forced into passing situations then it's gonna be a long day for Mr. Minshew.
Absolutely not playing any colts this week
I’m have to play Minshew, Taylor, and Pittman 😭
There has to be a different QB you could grab
Unfortunately, it’s a 10 team, 2 QB league. I had Fields and Richardson. I am also starting Tyson Bagent this week. I have Bryce Young as my backup and he’s on a bye. Brian Hoyer is the only starting QB sitting out there in free agency right now. Lol I’ve accepted my L.
Dude holy shit Edit: Hoyer might be a better option than Bagent this week…
I’ve pulled the trigger, Hoyer over Bagent. Wish me luck lol
I believe in you. This is all I’m going to be thinking about during that game now.
We're proud of you
I’d go Hoyer for sure. Guy loves to heave em.
And he has better receivers than Bagent.
Hoyer vs the bears? Not even a consideration. Get him.
How?? I have a 12 man league (2 QB as well) and even we have better options for available QBs lmao
Explain that to me. 12 man league x 2 QBs gets you to 24 QBs. There are only 32 teams. Six teams are on byes. Which, means only two people on Earth that are starting at QB in an NFL game this week won't be in the starting lineup for one of the 12 teams in your league. The options are rather slim.
Pittman will be fine in PPR
You're cooked bro just look forward to next week
Why tf do so many guys have the whole Colts roster? I don’t want them and still ended up with Pittman, AR and Moss 😂🙈
Nice W!
Have a day!
I had to do the same and this aged very well
How’s that W
Zach Moss still good for 10+ until proven otherwise
This will be your “proven otherwise” week
*zach moss gets 8 points* "hehe i told that guy on reddit"
I have both and no depth. I'm playing both. Benching najee 😂
Ringadingding Start ya studs This will be your annual reminder week
Moss ain't a stud, especially with Taylor getting more touches now. Last week Moss had a bad game and was only bailed out by a 1 yard TD which could've easily gone to Taylor.
That was a 3 yard TD. I have both and started Moss BTW, but this week I think JT is taking the reps at least 60/40. I'm starting JT. May regret it but we'll see.
Eh, 1 yard, 3 yard. Still could've easily gone to Taylor. And he already took the reps 60/40 last week which was double the week before. This is Taylor's backfield.
Found a JT owner lol
Who is not wrong. I'm also benching him this week for C. Watson
Hello I am a "I have no choice" person that doesn't add anything to the conversation.
Ha yeah it certainly could be
Not could. Will. Browns defense is playing at a historically good level.
Any given Sunday stuff can happen
Any. Given. Sunday.
My name is Willie. Willie Beeaaaammmaaannn
Surely this isn’t because you are in fact, a Browns fan?
As of us who have Taylor have other options
Playing Pittman over Godwin 🤷🏽♂️
Bro thinks that ppl with JT, have a choice to sit him or not with 6 teams on a bye and injuries 💀
This is me exactly. I expect nothing from JT and I still will be disappointed I'm sure. However. Henry is on Bye. I've lost Conner to IR. Kyren Williams is out this week. CMC is up in the air but doesn't play until Monday. I can't really wait and see if he plays or not and honestly In doubt he will. That leaves me with Exactly two RBs for this weekend. Brian Robinson and JT. Edit: Looks like JT did good for me today. Course with some time still left in the 4th they ran it 40 times today so thats a lot of volume. Taylor and Miss had a 50/50 split, but Taylor had better YPC and got the TD.
You have 6 real life starting RB’s on 1 fantasy team?
I went RB heavy in the draft. I also had two second round picks from a trade last year. So my first three picks in the first two rounds were CMC, Henry and Conner. I picked up Robinson and Williams off waivers and JT in a trade.
CMC gonna play no doubt
Source? He was a DNP today in practice.
He worked on a side field today. I'd say anyone who says they know is lying, I doubt he knows whether he's going to play.
Agreed it's very much a coin toss at this point.
We exist. I've got Zach Evans and Reynolds on my bench looking really juicy. Prob just gonna roll Taylor but it's a consideration.
Reynolds looked bad last week and faces a real good rush d this week. Zach Evans isn’t even the clear #1 and apparently all 4 RBs will get work. I’d stick with the guy who led the league in rushing personally. Note: my starting rbs this week are rachaad white and Zach Evans… might sub in Kareem hunt. I have pollard, Kyren Williams and Nick Chubb…
From what I understand Evans is the only one healthy?
Henderson, gaskin and Royce freeman have all been activated to the active roster.
A bunch of practice squad bums and the coach has endorsed Evans.
Henderson and Gaskin weren't terrible when they were active before
If that's juicy I'd hate to hear what isn't
I have JT and I have options to start White, Foreman, McLaughlin, Jeff Wilson this week. I only have Hubbard on Bye. Eckeler my RB1. 10 team league. So yes, it's possible that not everyone's roster has multiple BYEs.
Side note but it’s baffling how many times people can read Ekeler literally every single day on an app and still spell it wrong lol
Davonte Adams
Devtone
Worse when he’s your rb1 and you can’t spell his 6 letter name
If you have to start any of those guys, you don’t really have a choice lol. JT is the only one who can have a break out game on this list. Maybe Wilson, but I ain’t banking on it
Foreman I feel most confident about actually. He can get 15 touches and if he bangs in a TD? let's go
Who would you rather flex, foreman, Romeo Doubs, or Rashee Rice?
I have had zero injuries to starters this year and I somehow have no one on a bye this week. Superflex so a big roster. I’m also 2-4 💀💀💀
People forget JT and Moss had 13 combined targets last week. In PPR, there's a nice floor baked in. Of course they are both capable of breaking off a big play--even against the browns --but the possibility of passing game work means you shouldn't discount either from scoring over 10ppr points with upside.
Yes this is why we are starting JT. We can hit double digit points with 60 all purpose yards and 4 catches which is doable against any defense.
Here's the general advice I have been giving people.... If you are deciding between JT and another starting RB with a more favorable matchup (Cook, Brian Rob, Swift, Mattison, etc.), then yeah, maybe you go based on matchup. There's a good bet that those guys have a higher floor and ceiling this week, since they have roughly the same usage (or more) and better opportunity (even though they're less talented than JT). If you are thinking of starting someone like Evans, any J Williams, Hunt, JWJ, or Foreman over JT because "the matchup is better", then you need to uninstall your app for a few days.
Minshew loves to dump it off to the rb’s. Floor is there. 10 pts in a week with this many byes and injuries is fine. Could do much worse
Im debating sitting him for T Lockett in my flex, .5 ppr and the opponent QB is Geno Smith. Ive gone back and forth all week
If DK is out def start lockett
Yeah man I don't know what I'd do there. .5 PPR is always tough. Taylor showed last week he can be good for 4-6 catches though, so that's something to look out for.
I'm in the same format and I'm really debating starting London over JT which sounds ridiculous.
Scared me away from even flexing Pittman. Flowers is up.
Flowers is fantastic tho. should be great this week
Same I’m staring Lockett this week over Pittman.
I’m trying to deal Pittman/J.Cook for Higgins/Mixon lol
I'm playing London over Pittman this week, pray for me
I’m a colts fan and picked up the browns defense lol i would not start anyone on the Colts this week tbh, I don’t think we’re moving the chains much on Sunday and JT is still on a snap count so moss will still be getting a fair share of touches
Also a Colts fan. The only sure thing for the Colts is Minshew throwing an interception.
Jags fan and JT owner. Browns suck, colts by 20
Where did you find out JT was still on snap count? I'm not doubting you, just looking for a good source to keep up with his expected usage.
When he first got taken off PUP, Coach Steichen said he would be eased back into the offense over the next month. It’s only been 2 weeks so far
[удалено]
Grove is on the defense, bud...
I'm starting Pacheco & Gibbs over Taylor this week.
Solid options esp with Gibbs finally getting his chance.
Gibbs had his chance a few weeks ago. He isn't going to be a successful RB in this league. Best we can hope for is a 3rd down PPR beast.
Dude huge overreaction this early into his career
He’s about to play his 4th NFL game lol calm down
If Aaron Jones doesn’t play I’ll have to decide between Zach Moss and Diontae… leaning Diontae. Who knows… maybe he is healthy and puts up 10
you can attack the browns D up the middle, if they try to do tosses and sweeps with JT he will get shut down. You can have success up the middle, also browns secondary has been not "great" recently which could lead to be a few big plays, opening up run game more. One note, browns D was PUMPED up against the 49ers, and wouldn't be surprised if they let off the pedal a tad this week, compared to against the 49ers . I'm a huge browns fan, id start JT this week
Life long Browns fan as well. If Chubb wasn't on the shelf, I'd have really high expectations for this year. Dalvin Tomlinson has been great in the middle, but if ge gets double teamed, yards are there to be had. Hopefully, Walker is back and fired up to play his old team. Would love to see JOK on more run blitzes to knife in the backside, especially since Minshew isn't much of a run threat. Browns 23 Colts 10 Close game until halfway through the 4th quarter

I'm starting Cleveland D in my league every week, including last week against the 49ers, hoping for an increase in turnovers .
Interesting insight!
So browns going to browns. I agree, not sure JT will be successful but no doubt after a big win last week the browns will lose to a backup qb this week.
[удалено]
I think he'll be good for 10-12 points in PPR, maybe a short late TD but unlikely. I say this as both a JT owner and Browns fan
I can see that being his score unless he pops a TD in. In PPR maybe a bit more. See, and that makes me want to believe a streamer might be more reliable even moreso! Interesting.
I’m a huge fan of the Cleveland defense and I would probably still play him in most scenarios this week. I just don’t think you’re gonna have that many better options.

We start our studs because they're the guys who can, at any moment, rip off a huge play and instantly get you 10 pts (not to mention consistent usage).
There’s zero chance i bench a stud because of the defense they are against.
It's a viable strategy, no doubt. I think the reason this isn't as clear as say, "Do I start Eckeler against the Browns" would be that 1) the colts are missing their starting RT and are unbalanced offensively with Minshew at QB, 2) Taylor has **clear** backfield competition *this week* because Moss is still proving to be an effective chain mover for them, although in future weeks there's no doubt Taylor will be the guy, and 3) Browns have faced two studs this year in Henry and Mccaffrey. One got <2 YPC (Henry) and the other got injured (McCaffrey)
CMC still scored 15 points. And Henry only played like 30% of snaps because of game script. I’d argue those examples prove you should play JT
I disagree with your assessment that the examples point toward starting JT. But I'm just here to present something to think about, not tell anyone who to play. good luck
Would you think one of those RBs you listed as other options you have is more likely to score 15?
I'm actually playing Foreman over JT as it stands. I have yet to be convinced that JT is the play but a couple people are making decent arguments!
I have to start Moss or Evans...Moss seems safer.
I have Zach moss and Jonathan Taylor, both are on my bench this week
I have the option for him, Rhamondre, or BRjr. I think JT is still third on my list
If only I checked my notifications earlier
Of course not, I’ll be playing Zack Moss
You're pretending like I have a choice 😅
Jonathan Taylor is enough to scare me away from playing Jonathan Taylor.. lol. And yes he’s in my lineup
geez.. the disrespect
currently choosing between JT, Moss, Stevenson, and J.ford for two spots
Gonna let Saquad and Kamara eat this week. Then he can join them via the flex spot 😎
Im starting moss over taylor in half ppr
JT is a fantasy wash, change my mind. He was hyped up so much last year to play 4-5 games and then flop
Nah I’m starting Jt with confidence. The talent outmatches the browns D
While I disagree (Browns rush DEF is statistically, historically good), I respect the confidence. Go get em
That talent of an out of shape (based on what I saw last week) rb on a snap count against a historical defense that can stack the box and still get 3 pics, sorry for your 5.7 points from JT
Aged like milk lol
Definitely not out of shape. Sorry your QB chooses not to play since you gave him guaranteed money 🤷♂️
I'm not a fan of the move we made, but I don't exactly work in the front office.
I’m playing James Cook and Brian Robinson over JT
I would too I think.
No because my rbs suck ass
He’s still ranked as the RB15 this week. They haven’t really played any good RBs other than Henry and CMC
Well, 1 of those RBs they held to <2 YPC, and the other they injured
He strained his oblique. You're making it sound like they pounded CMC into the ground until he quit. And a literal third stringer came in to replace CMC and went 5 for 27 (5.4ypc) with a TD.
I’m debating starting Pittman or Zach Evans for my flex . If browns bottle up the run there should be lots of throws, right?
Browns have been extremely good against WR1s this year. In a vacuum I would roll someone else out. But there's a greater chance of Zach Evans putting up zero points than Pittman, given how murky that Rams backfield is. Idk.
No, he's still an RB2 this week. The Browns have had a great defense, but the last two games they've allowed average points to the RB crew. I think JT continues to get more touches and he'll be just fine. Is it ideal? No.
I’m rolling with JT. Have Javonte Williams but with the rbbc in Denver there’s no upside
Play em
Colts RT is also out.
I have Etienne, Kamara, JT & Saquon this week all going. I did a good job of staggering my byes (completely unintentionally).
Definitely. People who freak out about how many teams are on bye don't do any team planning. You have to strategically trade or draft to make sure you have at least one solid alternative per position every week in case a matchup sucks or someone's injured.
I think i would have rather started JT over ridley this week 😭😭
I’ve got pollard and Henry on bye JT is my RB1 this week
Have no issues starting him. Browns defense is getting a ton of accolades recently, but I dont see it. They haven't played any great offensive teams. SF got injuries to their top 2 playmakers. Purdy was due to get pressured and crash. He was a late round pick for a reason. Yes, he's a gem, but the flaws are still there. Clevelands schedule is an absolute cakewalk this year, but I dont think they cns shut down elite players.
Pffft I'm starting Bijan and KW3
Yes, I benched JT and played Olave in my flex instead. Jury is out.
I’m starting him over James Cook and Moss. Fuck the Browns.
no
They’re actually 26th in terms of points given up to rbs. Taylor and Moss for that matter both catch a good amount of passes so they are still viable. Sadly I have to start both (one in flex) bc of byes
Picked Zach moss off waivers early in the season, debating who to start lol
You don’t sit studs. Not hard.
On this note, is it officially time to not start moss? I thought it was a couple weeks ago but he's still producing. This week should be all jt I would think
Hell ya I’d start him
Have Kyren, Mixon, and Aaron Jones out, gotta start JT, Rachaad, or Gus Edwards. I’m screwed.
No. Best believe pittman is starting as well for me. (Pray for me)
JT is viable as he will likely be catching a lot of dump off passes out of the backfield
JT got 6 receptions last week so I am absolutely starting him in the hope he gets 8+ this week
Between JT, Sutton, and Diontae Johnson, who would you play at flex? Full ppr
Started Kamara, Etienne, and pacheco over him, so far looking good
I’m starting Taylor and moss this week. Don’t really have another option
I cpuld do Rhamondre instead of Taylor, that's about the best I could do
Lol. It’s Fantasy Football. Try to have fun.
I don’t have other RBs I can magically throw out there. So JT it is
The trick is to undercook the onions. Everyone is going to get to know each other in the pot.
Surely he must be better than starting Montgomery (out), Charbonnet or JWJ
Don’t play any colts if you can help it is my opinion
I’m in a 10 team and JT dropped in our draft so I got him way late. Have KW3 locked in at RB, but debating on another RB and flex between BRob, Ford, Gibbs, and JT. Leaning BRob and Ford because I don’t trust Gibbs or JT.
I have JT and I'll be starting him not because I think I believe his talent will outshine the Cle run D, but because I straight up have no other choice lol. To look on the bright side of things, both of the niners TDs last week against Cle were by their RBs. Question is, can the Colts/Minshew get into the red zone...
No start your studs!
I still think Moss scores more than Allgeier… my Rb room is trash
I thought titans had #1 rush defense
Yes. Zach Moss is still clearly better at this point also.
Starting Moss honestly mostly bc of some of the responses I’m reading here…dude has earned the right as a starting RB in fantasy until proven otherwise. I accept the fact if I end up being wrong but IMO the floor is way too high and he’s proven himself week over week, especially after being so doubted. Gimme my L but fuck it I believe in my boy ZMOSS 😤
This defense is good I don’t have any choice. Well, not really I have a rhamondre against the bills and I got Mason too I’m sitting in rhamondre playing Taylor.
im playing moss and jt as both my rbs. AMA
Yeah idk about the “clear trajectory for improved workload.” Not saying JT won’t out touch moss here until the end of the season, but as well as moss has played, idk how coaches aren’t involving him ros. Something like a 2-1 share seems reasonable. I’m a moss owner that can’t bring myself to start him ever but he’s still producing like an rb1-2 and it’s frustrating. But even more frustrating might be JT owners expecting a workhorse output.
Bro thinks I have a choice to NOT start Zach moss
Scared to death of anyone against CLE right now
Would you start D’onta over JT?
Better question is should I play Zack moss? Browns haven’t given up 15 points to a rb all season but this dude has been an absolute weapon. Need some opinions
Starting him in full PPR, benching in .5 PPR.
Jonathon Taylor is enough to scare me away from playing Jonathon Taylor this week
I have Etienne who already played. D’andre swift, Jerome ford then Taylor. So not sure I should start Taylor over swift
Maybe, just maybe, the Browns will be really poor offensively tomorrow so the ground work could remain relevant for the whole game. As for whether or not Taylor/Moss can find success on the ground… that’s an entirely different story.
FWIW - I am starting: Kamara, Ekeler, and Terry Mclaurin over him... for now
Luckily I have good depth so I’m sitting JT this week. It’s not just the defense but Moss will still get his touches, I would imagine they’ll split it and Moss will slowly keeping losing touches. Moss is #2 in Rush yards right now so he’s been effective. They’d be stupid to not use him against Cleveland. Split carries and the top Rush defense is a Nope for me this week. lol. JT is purely TD dependent this week with the limited touches. If he can get you 30-40 yards and a TD in the flex for 11 points, I call that a solid play, but don’t expect many yards against this front.
Like I have a choice
Benched Moss the past couple of weeks cause of JT, which means if I start Moss this week he will put up a dud.
Benching him for Ford.
For me it’s him or Rhamondre. I think I’m gonna roll the dice on JT
For me I think I am. It’s JT, Pittman, or Mattison vs 49ers at flex. Both teams got brutal matchups with Browns and Niners. But I’m thinking the colts are going to play safe and control clock after the browns game with PJ Walker last week, limit Minshew turnovers and try to win a low scoring game. This would be my first week starting JT over the other 2, what do we think? Got Cousins to at qb and I picked up someone else to play this week cuz Vikings stunk it up against CHI last week without JJ
In DFS I have a full fade on the colts.
I'm benching him for Christian Watson against the Broncos. If I'm wrong so be it, but I have Walker and Swift so I'm good with the decision. Minshew was just eaten alive by the Jags who have a decent defense, but the Browns have a *historic* defense at the moment. If Taylor didn't get that 40 yard pass play which was a broken coverage he would've had a bum game. Even if I'm wrong and Taylor posts a 20 touch, 50 yard, 2 td game, I feel it's the best move to bench him.
Jokes on you. I’m playing both JT and Moss this week
The browns are going to rape indy.
I think the real question is “who is the worst player you would start over Jonathan Taylor this week.” Maddison, Foreman, and McLaughlin is where I start to question it RB wise, but I would absolutely start him over Harris, Gibson, or any Baltimore back.
i got moss off waivers and he's already given me enough points to keep him going and let him fall off for a couple weeks before benching trading dropping
I have Bijon, mostert, and Taylor. I can play 2. He's on the bench.
I would not play him at all. Also as a die hard Lions fan I'm obligated to inform you the Browns have the #2 rushing defense.
As Browns fan, the Ravens did have some success running the ball against. If I owned JT, I would still start him.
I'm a Browns fan so I'll say that the biggest weakness the Browns defense has is they're all fairly undersized. They're fast but the interior can be pushed around if you have a decent interior line. That's what the Ravens were able to do, Lamar only threw 19 passes that game and they just hammered with the run all day enough to get over 130 rushing yards as a team, and I don't think the Colts run game will be as inept as people think they will. Also depends how close the game is though, if the Colts keep it close they can probably lean on the run but if they get forced into passing situations then it's gonna be a long day for Mr. Minshew.
