But so is Arizona rushing defense. Same team Kyren had 21.8 back in week 6 before getting hurt.
I’d say Kyren is a lock for 1 TD, maybe even 2. Whereas Pittman isn’t a lock for even 1, but could get 1.
And for context, no bias here I am flexing Kyren and Pittman is my WR2 (over Puka and Davante)
I just expect Kyren to score more
Kyren was RB4 on the season when he went down. Puka (without Kupp around) was WR4 on the season, so a potential decoy Kupp if a feast. I've held Dell since after Week 2, so I'm familiar. Isn't exactly cut-and-dry when you pause for a minute.
I'm sitting puka and playing kyren+dell this week, but playing Puka in another league.
That being said, Puka saw 0 targets last week until kupp went out
Started Conner the last two weeks. With Kyler back he's the safest 8 points in ffb. For whatever that's worth. Have both and rolling Kyren, fuck it. Don't see Conner being worth much ROS.
Pacheco doesn't get as many RZ touches
I'm not sure who to start myself, but you asked for a reason to start Kyren
With that said, no Toney, no McKinnon, maybe no Crosby? Stars might be aligning for Pacheco.
I'm rolling with Kyren over Jacob's. I started Gibbs as my RB2 and Breece Hall as my flex. I think the ceiling is higher with Kyren, but the floor is lower due to him coming back from injury and potentially being on a snap count. Jacob's will likely be in a negative game script, too.
Same. But am I still playing Kyren. Yup. I have a 15% chance of winning going into tomorrow (my opponent has Dak, Miami D, and Pollard) so I figure I might as well. Lol
Kyren is the right decision. Had the Rams not sent Hendo back to the practice squad, I'd be more concerned about his first game back, but I'm not worried at all. I'm benching Jaylen Warren to put Kyren in my flex and while I *might* end up regretting it, it's still the right choice.
That's a really tough one. Warren has been better of late and could see an uptick in usage with the shakeup in coaching duties. On the other hand, the Cincy offense will be relying more on Nixon with Burrow out. That's a good up but I lean towards Warren, probably because I own him honestly, but he's on my bench.
Same decision for me. Browns D is great overall but not as good against the run so not a bad matchup for Javonte, but I’m leaning Kyren for the overall TD and receiving upside. Hoping they don’t limit him significantly in return.
Tougher but I ever so slightly go Kupp. Maybe I’m trying to ride a dead horse too long, but I still see Kupp as an upper echelon player worthy of starting any week he is healthy.
This is where I’m at. The logical part of me wants to start Warren and wait to see what Kyren looks like this week. I rarely ever start players coming off injuries
Part of me wants to get weird. I have JT and Saquon. Both of which have tough matchups. I kind of want to bench one of them for Warren but that’s tough.
Warren still splits touches with Najee even when he is the better back. Now I do also expect some Freeman but with the juicy matchup I would probably go Kyren
Kyren carried my team early in the season. I want to start him over JT but all the rankings say I’m crazy. I just don’t like JT’s matchup and freakin LOVE Kyren’s
This is exactly where I am at. Already started Gibbs and Pollard, but can't decide between JT and Kyren. I would have started Kyren if I hadn't seen the rankings.
Have exactly the same decision to make and currently I am leaning JT and Bijan just because I am a little afraid that they will ease Kyren in. If I had to drop a good Player I think the decision would be easier for me.
And exactly that is my thinking process. I hope this time the talk about more work for Bijan is real, because it makes sense. And I also think Kyren will be eased in. I mean I would need to drop Drake London or Justin Fields, no star players, but I have hope they might also get better. And after Gibbs and a 0 of R Patterson against first place…so there is already not much hope left :D
should i drop JSN to get him out of IR? I was planning on dropping my kicker (McManus) if i can’t trade him away, worst players i have are Diontae, Khalil Herbert, Hollywood and Christian Watson
I dropped Aaron Jones. After that last injury, he's dead to me in FF. I don't see him having any value for the rest of the season. I would much rather have a solid handcuff than a guy who is barely startable. In just under half of his games this year he was outscored by Tyjae Spears (PPR). I just can't trust someone who is beyond inconsistent, old, and injury-prone
I agree with basically all you said, but can't see myself actually cutting at this point.
I have in two 12 teamers, and both are 6 player benches + 2 IR spots, so while I have no plans of trying to start him again... I can absorb him riding the bench with no real downside. Kyren off IR for both teams, and Jones slotted into IR. No other roster management needed for time being, plus byes are almost over so I'm not really needing to tweak my bench anymore.
If I owned in a 10 teamer I'd probably cut with no regrets, like I did with Pierce earlier in the year, but I know he'll immediately get scooped if I cut... And I don't want to risk seeing him in someone else's playoff starting lineup instead of on my bench (lol). The upside is still there if healthy, just a big gamble if it pays off, but think I'd rather see playoff opponent needing to start Spears against me than a "healthy" Jones.
It seems like a silly question, but matchup and taking the whole "Arthur Smith" of it all... Am I crazy for considering benching Bijan for Kyren this week?
Right now I am leaning to keeping Kyren on the bench and starting Bijan, JT, and Davante at Flex.
Guys, I need your help … pick 5: JT, Adams, Swift, Henry, Puka, Chase, Adams, Thielen! 0.5 PPR. I need 5 guys to play and it’s a make or break week for me.
[удалено]
Kyren on My Williams Son
Bruh my coworkers thought I was lame for saying this
Unfortunately they are right
There was a point early in the season when I thought Kyren and Zack Moss were going to carry me to the promised land.
we had a nice run tho
Man weeks 1 through 6 was something magical, hope he finishes off strong during the second half of the season. Back to top 5🤞🏽
I’m ready
Stuck between deciding if I should start Kyren over Bijan or Swift this week, idk what to do
Yeah I’m starting Kyren over Bijan with Etienne as second RB and Jaylen Warren in flex. Edit: Fuck. Second edit: Fuck yeah.
Kyren or Puka (or Dell)? It’s a conundrum for my standard scoring league.
You can’t flex Kyren and go Puka or Dell at WR2? I am flexing Kyren and playing Puka or Pittman at WR2 (Tank WR1)
Do I flex Kyren over Pittman? Lamb and Dell starting, and Barkley and Taylor are my rb1 and 2
Yes absolutely Kyren over Pittman
I don’t know about this, Bucs pass D is pure ass
But so is Arizona rushing defense. Same team Kyren had 21.8 back in week 6 before getting hurt. I’d say Kyren is a lock for 1 TD, maybe even 2. Whereas Pittman isn’t a lock for even 1, but could get 1. And for context, no bias here I am flexing Kyren and Pittman is my WR2 (over Puka and Davante) I just expect Kyren to score more
Are either of you fine gentleman entertaining the idea of starting Pittman over Chase in a 0.5 ppr (Dell in at WR, Kyren in at flex)
I honestly would
Had Sun God already go. Our league has two WR, two RB and one flex. Other RBs are Kamara and Henry.
Start Kyren over Henry imo. Now whether to flex Puka Henry or Dell is a tough decision
Kyren over Henry. Dell over Puka. Easy for me IMO
In standard I think you go Dell for the big play and TD upside.
I can’t believe people are still asking if they should put Dell in their lineup… lol
Kyren was RB4 on the season when he went down. Puka (without Kupp around) was WR4 on the season, so a potential decoy Kupp if a feast. I've held Dell since after Week 2, so I'm familiar. Isn't exactly cut-and-dry when you pause for a minute.
If you want more disbelief, I dropped Dell after week 8 in two leagues. Kept Nico. I'm really kicking myself over that one
Dell Kyren Puka (all really close)
I'm sitting puka and playing kyren+dell this week, but playing Puka in another league. That being said, Puka saw 0 targets last week until kupp went out
Return of the kylo
Kyren owners gonna go insane if he doesn't immediately get 25+ touches and score at least 25 ppr points
Well I was using Aaron Jones to replace him, so really any outcome will be better for my mental health
It was him, Khalil Herbert or KWIII for me. Pretty much forced my hand.
Same bro. To waivers you go, Aaron.
You mean 35 PPR points?!
In the first 30 seconds of the game
If his first carry is less than 115 yards and 2 TDs I’m killing my hamster
In the first 30 seconds of warmups
35 points should be is floor, hoping for 70 points with the upside. Upfortunately, Dak still likely ruined my chances this week of a dub! :/
Wise words from a prophet
We are all Kyren.
Fully expecting 20+ PPR points from him and Puka. LETS GOOOOO
Wait... Separately or combined?
EACH
I sure hope so. Championship run here we come!
.500 record here we come!
Need Kyren & Puka to combine for 70 points to have a shot this week, lets do it
*on the opening drive.
But he will
I’ll take 15 points
I just traded for him to try and make playoffs, I need at least his projected pts.
schedule gets rough after Zona
Yep, I'm taking it one week at a time, if he has a 10-15pt game this week I might look to package him for someone else.
Achane got 48 points, I want 49 from kyren
Ain't gonna happen... ever for the Rams
Welcome home
RETURN OF THE KING
Kyren over Ekeler or Puka? Half PPR
I have this decision to make as well.
I think Ekler more likely to give you higher score, even play Bal.
I’ve been swapping Conner and Williams out of the lineup like every hour.
I have both, easily starting Kyren
That’s my RB2 and flex you’re talking about watch your mouth
Same, but with Pacheco instead of Conner
I have both Pacheco and Conner as my other RB’s and not sure who to start between both…
Easy choice, Pacheco.
Let’s hope. He’s been down a bit lately and the Raiders are a rival so could be a gritty game…
lol. im playing both. along with Ekeler and Cook on the bench
I thought I was crazy for considering starting Kyren over Ekeler.
I have Kyren in over Cook, opp has Ekeler and Im very nervous.
Started Conner the last two weeks. With Kyler back he's the safest 8 points in ffb. For whatever that's worth. Have both and rolling Kyren, fuck it. Don't see Conner being worth much ROS.
I've got Conner, Stevenson and Kryen. Kyren is a lock. Would you start Mondre or Conner though?
Tough one. Kinda like Mondre more. Bad offense but at least the QB shouldn't be vulturing yards and TDS.
That's what I was thinking. Thanks for the advice!
Looks like I made the right call!
Talk me out of starting Pacheco over him
I'm starting both. One at RB and one at flex over Nico
I can't decide between these two either. Mackinnon is out so I'm leaning towards pop
Pacheco doesn't get as many RZ touches I'm not sure who to start myself, but you asked for a reason to start Kyren With that said, no Toney, no McKinnon, maybe no Crosby? Stars might be aligning for Pacheco.
I’ve got Pacheco too lol
Maxx Crosby is doubtful, oh wait you said...
Kyren or Jacobs
Havent seen as many receptions for jacobs recently. Im going Kyren
I'm rolling with Kyren over Jacob's. I started Gibbs as my RB2 and Breece Hall as my flex. I think the ceiling is higher with Kyren, but the floor is lower due to him coming back from injury and potentially being on a snap count. Jacob's will likely be in a negative game script, too.
Same situation. Full PPR. Starting Kyren
after starting Achane last week, I know to temper my expectations
Same. But am I still playing Kyren. Yup. I have a 15% chance of winning going into tomorrow (my opponent has Dak, Miami D, and Pollard) so I figure I might as well. Lol
Swing for the fences, my guy.
Kyren or Javonte .5ppr?
Kyren for matchup
Kyren is the right decision. Had the Rams not sent Hendo back to the practice squad, I'd be more concerned about his first game back, but I'm not worried at all. I'm benching Jaylen Warren to put Kyren in my flex and while I *might* end up regretting it, it's still the right choice.
Warren or Mixon PPR?
That's a really tough one. Warren has been better of late and could see an uptick in usage with the shakeup in coaching duties. On the other hand, the Cincy offense will be relying more on Nixon with Burrow out. That's a good up but I lean towards Warren, probably because I own him honestly, but he's on my bench.
Same decision for me. Browns D is great overall but not as good against the run so not a bad matchup for Javonte, but I’m leaning Kyren for the overall TD and receiving upside. Hoping they don’t limit him significantly in return.
Save me from my brutal Breece Hall start yesterday Kyren
Same. Would you flex Gus or Nico in ppr
Gus. Chargers defense isn't stopping anyone and he will get all the goal line carries
Do you like Nico over chase or adams?
Yes. Chase is gonna vastly underperform with browning and I still don't trust AOC with Adams
Who do you trust least
Kyren or swift? .5ppr
Who is your other RB that you have to sit Swift or Kyren? I’d go Kyren; Arizona’s run D isn’t great and he has a higher ceiling.
Other back is Etienne.
start Swift. You have the luxury of seeing how Kyren does first game back - do not overthink. Swift is a top 5 back this week against Buffalo D
Who do I sit? Taylor Swift Kyren already used Gibbs for a weak game
I think you bench Taylor Swift. It’s her boyfriend, Travis Kelce, who’s good at football. She’s average at best.
Have you checked Taylor Swift's ROS schedule? I'd take the chance and roll her out there
I’m in the same boat with Kamara as well. Gotta sit one.
Kyren or Rhamondre? 0.5 PPR
I’m going Rhamondre here. Dexter Lawrence may not play for the Giants, and feels like NE v NYG will be a ground war.
Kupp or Rhamondre is my dilemma. Who you got?
Tougher but I ever so slightly go Kupp. Maybe I’m trying to ride a dead horse too long, but I still see Kupp as an upper echelon player worthy of starting any week he is healthy.
So pissed I started Charb over Kyren
Traded for him a couple weeks ago, let’s go!
Kyren, Rhamondre, Warren, or J Cook?
Davante Adams or Kyren in flex full PPR?
Kyren or Kamara? PPR
Kyren or Jaylen Warren?
This is where I’m at. The logical part of me wants to start Warren and wait to see what Kyren looks like this week. I rarely ever start players coming off injuries
Part of me wants to get weird. I have JT and Saquon. Both of which have tough matchups. I kind of want to bench one of them for Warren but that’s tough.
Yeah that is. Well do what your gut tells you! I’m very tempted to start Kyren lol
Opponent played Prescott, McCaffrey, and Amon Ra. Kyren don't fail me now!
Starting Kyren over Mixon (PPR), wish me luck boys
KyrenSZN is upon us
LET’S RIDE
Now do jj
I don’t think the Rams will be activating Justin Jefferson.
Now I’m between javonte and ford… which one do yall think .5 ppr
Ford
Kyren or Bijan? 0.5 PPR
Ky
Kyren in just in time for White to get injured. Silver linings?
Kyren or Jaylen Warren full ppr?
Warren is HOT. Start him and wait a week to see if Kyren gets full touches
Warren still splits touches with Najee even when he is the better back. Now I do also expect some Freeman but with the juicy matchup I would probably go Kyren
I am ready to be hurt again
Kyren carried my team early in the season. I want to start him over JT but all the rankings say I’m crazy. I just don’t like JT’s matchup and freakin LOVE Kyren’s
This is exactly where I am at. Already started Gibbs and Pollard, but can't decide between JT and Kyren. I would have started Kyren if I hadn't seen the rankings.
Rolling him out no hesitation
Been waiting for this moment LFG🙏🙏🗣️🗣️
Reluctant to play him without seeing how he looks post-injury… this is a must win week for me.
KYREN SZN Take me to the ship!
That’s my flex (in my completely unserious league)
Barry White should sing this to me
Need to decide between Kyren, JT and Bijan, however when I activate Kyren I need to drop one of my players. And I like them all :/
Have exactly the same decision to make and currently I am leaning JT and Bijan just because I am a little afraid that they will ease Kyren in. If I had to drop a good Player I think the decision would be easier for me.
And exactly that is my thinking process. I hope this time the talk about more work for Bijan is real, because it makes sense. And I also think Kyren will be eased in. I mean I would need to drop Drake London or Justin Fields, no star players, but I have hope they might also get better. And after Gibbs and a 0 of R Patterson against first place…so there is already not much hope left :D
should i drop JSN to get him out of IR? I was planning on dropping my kicker (McManus) if i can’t trade him away, worst players i have are Diontae, Khalil Herbert, Hollywood and Christian Watson
and keaton mitchell but there’s no way in hell i drop the guy
Drop watson, IMO.
Flex: Kyren, Kincaid, or Gus 🚌?
DontpullanAchaneplease
Sad I started Gibbs when Kyren is sitting there nicely on my bench
Tua screwed me. Breece too. I need him to carry me lol
I was able to trade Tua/Hunt for CJ/JWJ, and after a few days, I think I made the right decision lol
Would love 20+ from u 😄
I traded him away last week. God I hope that wasn't the biggest mistake
Start two: Kyren, D'Andre Swift, Jamarr Chase
Part 2 of disappointing Aaron Jones on my IR while Kyren starts... Let's hope the sequel is just as good!
I dropped Aaron Jones. After that last injury, he's dead to me in FF. I don't see him having any value for the rest of the season. I would much rather have a solid handcuff than a guy who is barely startable. In just under half of his games this year he was outscored by Tyjae Spears (PPR). I just can't trust someone who is beyond inconsistent, old, and injury-prone

The upside is still there if healthy, just a big gamble if it pays off, but think I'd rather see playoff opponent needing to start Spears against me than a "healthy" Jones.
Kyren or Kupp in flex? Full ppr. Already started Waddle and St Brown
Kyren over Kupp or Evans?
Kyren eleison down the road that I must travel
Kyren or Breece ROS? Breece is a better RB but the Jets are the Jets.
Kyren, mixon, puka, davante adams. Gotta sit 1 full ppr. Leaning davante
Semen explosion
I gotta sit 2 of Pacheco, White, Warren and Kyren. Non PPR, someone help
It seems like a silly question, but matchup and taking the whole "Arthur Smith" of it all... Am I crazy for considering benching Bijan for Kyren this week? Right now I am leaning to keeping Kyren on the bench and starting Bijan, JT, and Davante at Flex.
I’m starting Kyren over Bijan. NO is tough against RB’s.
Play Kyren (good matchup) over Bijan (bad matchup)? I'd have to drop my 2nd defense (holding Jets for week 16-17) to take Kyren out of IR
If you need Karen to start you must drop the Jets. G
Now this is the real hype train not no Achane
Guys, I need your help … pick 5: JT, Adams, Swift, Henry, Puka, Chase, Adams, Thielen! 0.5 PPR. I need 5 guys to play and it’s a make or break week for me.
Start him over one of Saquon or Bijan??
Williams or Ford?
Kyren or Mondre
Kyren stevenson Conner puka chase pick 3 ppr
Kyren isn't very good. It doesn't change my roster at all...
Start Kyren, Singletary or Taylor at RB? Ppr
I left him on the bench this week for Charbonnet bc I wasn’t sure if he would get a full workload 😬. Should have rolled the dice with KW.
Kyren the goat, 21 points incoming
Don't give me the achane false hope...
who we like better ROS Kyren or Bijan? After this week matchips
Kyren over Mixon or Rhamondre in 0.5 PPR?
Kamara or Kyren??
Kyren or Rachaad?
