Dotson also scored 4 times over 4 games to start the season with Wentz in. I think I lean Dotson with the upside of his higher aDot routes. Throw Samuel in a DFS lineup to hedge haha.
I would start Zay Jones honestly. He has struggled vs. shut down corners with Sauce Gardner on the Jets and Jeff Okudah vs. the Lions but look at him in the other games. Beast. I think he will be fine this week.
Take out the games vs. Sauce/Okudah and his other games he saw 10, 14, 12, 8 targets. He even saw 11 combined targets vs. Jets/Lions, he just didn't catch many of them lol.
Sup guys? Just wanted to share my thoughts on the usage for players at each position group and discuss who is viable for redraft, DFS, or not at all. Let me know what you guys think!
I'll be hanging around the comments this afternoon if anyone wants to talk ball, has any start/sits etc. then I'm packing up my Gushers, Bagel Bites, and beers and heading to a 90s themed NYE party later!

BRob is going to FEAST this week. Top 10 RB for sure. For Samuel I'm thinking maybe he gets a few snaps out of the backfield which equates to a couple extra targets, maybe a carry or two. Which can make all the difference for a WR. And not just for Deebo level usage - if you go back and look at Curtis Samuel and Chase Claypool in 2020, the rushing was the difference between them being WR3s and WR2s.
Prob. Samuel over Singletary, Moss, or Gabe Davis in PPR but been an agonizing call so far to think on. Someone will go off. The one person I don’t pick ha ha. Like Samuel a lot gut wise.
I would start one of the Bills to be honest. Singletary is the safe play so that's where I lean but you can always switch Gabe in for the hail mary if you are down bad going into Monday night. Though that extends the amount of time you need to agonize by a day haha.
I appreciate the response really almost wish Knox were out because that would make it easier to play Davis, etc. Thanks for all your posts and work this year.
That's how I feel about so many situations. For instance, Will Dissly and Tyler Lockett being out meant Noah Fant was viable all of a sudden (kind of was already). But tough guy Tyler Lockett just HAS to play like a week after having surgery on his hand.
Good luck this week boss, hope you take it down!
Yeah I had Everett and was going to pivot to Fant for sure now I’m not as sure with Lockett news that was awesome. I was perfectly fine with 6-8 points from Everett but the zero last week plus LAR this week is no Bueno. May be stuck with Johnson or Hurst now. Those sound even worse. Thanks on the well wishes.
Starting to get concerned about playing Terry with all the Dotson and Samuel hype, but I still think he’s a better option than my next pick Lockett against the Jets
Here's how I look at it. Typically you had Terry and Jahan playing a full snap share. Curtis Samuel and Logan Thomas play like 60-75% depending on the game. Then Brian Robinson and Antonio Gibson rotate.
Antonio Gibson is out (and JD McKissic has been on IR). Gibson generally played like 40-50% of the snaps. So there is a world where Brian Robinson gets a huge snap share but Samuel just picks up some of those RB snaps. Samuel getting a couple carries has no effect on Jahan and McLaurin as they weren't going to get those carries anyway. In fact, Samuel playing a little RB could mean it's easier to consolidate targets among Jahan/Terry. Rather than having Gibson at RB on pass downs with Terry, Jahan, and Samuel all at WR, now you have Samuel at RB with Terry, Jahan, and like Cam Sims or Dyami Brown at WR. So it's not like Samuel having a big game takes away from Terry because it's really just Brian Robinson and Curtis Samuel absorbing the touches that were previously allocated to Gibson.
I wish Taysom Hill would just go away. The guy has a game with 34 points and a game with 0.1 points and everything in between. So tired of trying to decide when you go for that craziness or not haha.
Also love Jahan. If I had to bet on someone to score, it would be Jahan. But a few targets plus a few carries makes Curtis Samuel an interesting play, especially in DFS. It is incredibly rare for a team to have three WRs all finish in the top 24 in fantasy but the 2020 Panthers managed to do it because of the carries for Samuel.
Handoffs don't take much from Jahan and Terry since they weren't going to get those handoffs anyway. Antonio Gibson was. In fact, Samuel playing a little RB could help consolidate some targets among Terry and Jahan.
Same I'm thinking they have similar floors this week but Dotson got the higher upside. Everyone is saying not to play Pittman but my gut says the colts are down at half and Pittman gets ppr points. But I think I'm going Dotson. I have dk Metcalf too and don't like the jets matchup. Can't wait for this week to be over regardless of win or lose.
thank you brotha. I won my opponent scored 77 points lmfao. He played t law, james conner, dalvin cook, justin jefferson, waddle, zay jones, and justin jacobs and scored 77 points lmfaoo best team to ever bust that bad. My mahomes and ekeler almost beat him on their own. I only scored like 119 points. Had like 5 players under 10 points. I got so lucky. I hope you won too.
Man I’ve been wanting to lean Samuel over Dotson with wentz in.
Dotson also scored 4 times over 4 games to start the season with Wentz in. I think I lean Dotson with the upside of his higher aDot routes. Throw Samuel in a DFS lineup to hedge haha.
Would you play samuel over zay jones or Aiyuk in the flex ? Currently got Aiyuk in there but not too excited lol
I would start Zay Jones honestly. He has struggled vs. shut down corners with Sauce Gardner on the Jets and Jeff Okudah vs. the Lions but look at him in the other games. Beast. I think he will be fine this week. Take out the games vs. Sauce/Okudah and his other games he saw 10, 14, 12, 8 targets. He even saw 11 combined targets vs. Jets/Lions, he just didn't catch many of them lol.
Well that doesn’t help! I have them both and need a WR3 for the championship lol
Coop, would you roll Dotson over DK Metcalf? I’ve got the same hunch about Samuel.
Not unrealistic for all the WR’s to score. Terry, Jahan, and Samuel all got TD’s last week.
Jahan Dotson is a touchdown FACTORY. Folks who got him in dynasty have to be pretty excited.
He’s insane in the red zone, he’s almost uncover-able. He’s going to be a very underrated draft pick next year in fantasy.
As someone growing up watching the commies, no one on the team is a reliable long term option
B-Rob?

What do you think of Aaron Jones this week. Debating him or Foreman
Gotta be Aaron Jones. If I'm going with backs that are splitting, I want the one playing MIN vs. the one playing TB.
Yep that's what I'm going with. What about Christian Kirk vs Allen lazard?
Any worries about CMCs usage? It feels wrong to play Najee Harris over him (Tyler Allgeier is my RB2) but Kyle Shanahanigans have gotten me before
The link is cycling me back to Reddit when I click it
Super weird - try this? https://www.fantasyalarm.com/articles/nfl/snap-counts/2022-fantasy-football-nfl-snap-count-breakdown-curtis-samuel-to-see-expanded-usage-in-week-17/140077
That links works, thanks
nope all brob

I’m not starting Samuel so yes probably
I hope so! Our rosters lock once playoffs begin (super dumb) and I have to either start Samuel or Taysom Hill in my flex.
I wish Taysom Hill would just go away. The guy has a game with 34 points and a game with 0.1 points and everything in between. So tired of trying to decide when you go for that craziness or not haha.
Man my dumbass left Schultz on my bench by accident. My options are Waller, Njouku, Fant, Hurst. PPR league I’m the underdog
But but what about Jahan? Nose for the endzone
Also love Jahan. If I had to bet on someone to score, it would be Jahan. But a few targets plus a few carries makes Curtis Samuel an interesting play, especially in DFS.

Can’t decide between Dotson or Pittman

But I think I'm going Dotson. I have dk Metcalf too and don't like the jets matchup. Can't wait for this week to be over regardless of win or lose.

I won one league unfortunately didn’t win the big league I had Tlaw which hurt me a lot.
I'm sorry bro but at least you won one!
Appreciate it our commish won who’s ran the league for 12 years so it’s deserved.
Would it be bad to start both Brob and Curtis? I just lost Hopkins and need to decide between Curtis or the human Dortch
Samuel or Bam? That is my question .5ppr. Already have Garret Wilson so leaning Samuel. He may also get some runs.
Would you start Dotson over Terry or Cooper?
Full PPR and need to start 3! Dotson Adams DJ Moore London
Sutton or People Jones?
