Fantasy Playoffs: Check Out My Roster!

[BFritz21]

In the ten-team league I'm in with my friends, I'm in the playoffs and I'm favored to win by ten, but he has Josh Allen, who has scored 57 and 44 points the past two weeks.

Is Allen going to have put up another huge game?

Check out my team and let me know if you have any advice:

QB- Jordan Love- Saints are struggling in the secondary, so let's hope Love can eat them up.

RB- Josh Jacobs- Saints have struggled most of the year, so I like this matchup. If he scores all the touchdowns that Love doesn't throw, this could be BIG.

RB- James Conner- Just like when I started Dowdle last week against them, the Panthers are horrible against the run.

WR- J Chase- No brainer playing for his contract. I think he scores on one or two deep balls, as well as his normal production.

WR- Mike Evans- as long as he's healthy, he's pretty damn good!

TE- Brock Bowers- Jags have been pretty bad against tight ends this year. I feel pretty good here.

Flex- Dowdle- I'm torn here because the site I pay for has him ranked 13th among RBs, but WalterFootball has him at 31st, so who do I trust?

D- Buffalo

K- Cameron Dicker

Bench

AJ Brown- tempted to start him but he's been so unreliable and I think the Skins are a tough matchup.

Tua

Pacheko

Otton

Bigsby

Jets D

Adam Thielen

I have waiver requests in to pick up Jerome Ford and TJ Spears, which is nothing more than a move to block the guy I'm playing from picking them up because, as you'll see below, he's thin at back and might not have much of an option because I have more waiver money than him and put in claims for the top two FA backs lol.

The fantasy show I watch on NFL Network has Jacobs as the RB1 this week, one guy had Conner as the RB1, someone had Evans as the WR1, and then they were high on Chase, so that gives me some confidence.

His Roster

QB- Josh Allen- Just gotta pray that they can maybe hold him to only three passing TDs and maybe no rushing TDs (hope the backs run them in).

RB- Aaron Jones- Seattle's usually strong against the run

RB- Kamara- the fantasy show talked like he wouldn't play this week, which he plays on Monday, so hopefully my friend keeps him in all of Sunday. He just opened a business today, so hopefully he's too busy to look into it beyond the Yahoo league page, which has him playing. Like I said, I have waver requests in for the two top FA backs, so hopefully he's stuck with garbage lol.

WR- CeeDee Lamb- I think he has a big day against the Bucs

WR- Brian Thomas Jr- This could be another rough one because I think he has a pretty big day

Flex- Devonta Smith- Doesn't worry me too much

D- Green Bay

K- Boswell

Bench is nothing special and Kenneth Walker's his only running back on the bench.

I'm projected to win by Yahoo and my paid site has me with a 77.2% at winning, but what do you think?

Any lineup suggestions you have?

Ten or twelve team league?

No offense, but, for my own selfish reasons, I hope Allen only scores three passing and rushing combined TDs lol.

Higgins, Brown, Smith, and Allen look like they could put up huge (or at least big) numbers for you, but your backs and your flex look like they could be your downfall (just saw the Chubb comment after I typed that).

How's your bench look?

Bengals D could have a big week, IMCO, but Niners wouldn't be a bad start.

Makes more sense. Sorry about your luck. 

I went with a newer draft strategy this year and took receivers with the first three picks (didn't mean to take one with my third pick, but it worked out) because I figured receivers are a dime a dozen unless you get difference makers, and then took Jacobs (who has been surprisingly good) and Conner (who has also been good), and then took two later (dropped one and picked up two), which I think is a good strategy because, like I said, receivers are a dime a dozen, and getting a back like Dowdle gives you a decent opportunity for at least a score every week. Dowdle has been putting up good numbers as of lately (with yards, as well as TDs), but my point is that there's a lot less backs, meaning that even decent ones are more valuable than decent receivers.

Bowers has also been a steal at a position that typically doesn't put up a lot of points. Getting a top three or four tight end can be a real difference maker in your fantasy season.

Edit: I might start Thomas JR in flex if I were you, but that's just me.

Patriots can't score, so hopefully the Bills don't even try to put up a lot of points and just control the ball on the ground with the backs so Allen doesn't put up a stupid number of points.

[BFritz21]

Dicker got me 10 instead of the projected 8.35, so now I'm projected to win by 12.01 instead of just over 10.

Every little bit helps!
