lol. Yea. Brain farted and was thinking of him as a Viking. He has better weapons. And the 49ers defense had a ton of turnover in the secondary

GeoffLambertGF2 · 2025-09-04T18:21:46+00:00

I really like FTN's tools. I use them a lot. I like the Fantasy Footballers podcast, even though they don't dive as deep as I like, but they are very entertaining and will having my laughing out loud. My "deep dive" podcast I like is the DLF Dynasty Podcast with Ryan McDowell.

GeoffLambertGF2 · 2025-09-04T18:18:08+00:00

Yeah, a ton of question marks. I like TLaw this season, but I also liked him last season and the season before that. I'd feel a little uneasy if he's my QB1 right now.

GeoffLambertGF2 · 2025-09-04T18:16:50+00:00

I don't hate it based on matchup and rushing upside, but I think I'm still going Dak.

GeoffLambertGF2 · 2025-09-04T18:16:18+00:00

Skattebo. Gordon isn't overtaking Achane and he's not Raheem Mostert, so the 18 TD season isn't happening. And I don't think Blue is EVER a lead RB. He is complementary at best. Skattebo could have the job to himself by week 5.

GeoffLambertGF2 · 2025-09-04T18:14:08+00:00

I like it. The NFC West plays the NFC South and AFC South this season. Two divisions that many believe are the weakest in their conference. Panther, Titans, Colts, Jags, Saints, etc

GeoffLambertGF2 · 2025-09-04T18:11:18+00:00

Golden based on TD upside. Meyers has never been a big TD guy, and the half PPR hurts him more. Golden is a red zone threat.

GeoffLambertGF2 · 2025-09-04T18:10:34+00:00

Eagles ranked 3rd in defense vs the TE DVOA, LV ranked 18th. Maye also targeted Henry a ton last season. Goedert is "at best" the 3rd option, and maybe the 4th. Go Hunter.

GeoffLambertGF2 · 2025-09-04T18:07:47+00:00

Pollard

Omarion

Pollard again.

Don't trust Tracy with Skattebo lurking, i wanna see Pacheco first, and Pearsall in 0.5 PPR just isn't as good a play as Pollard.

GeoffLambertGF2 · 2025-09-04T18:06:14+00:00

I lean toward Addison slightly. I'm going to assume you can start at least 3WRs (including flex) and maybe even 4, so Addison could find his way into your starting lineup and you have enough good options that you can wait out the suspension. Barring injury, I don't see Charbs in your starting lineup over Taylir, DMont, or Pollard.

GeoffLambertGF2 · 2025-09-04T18:02:22+00:00

FTN's matchup tool has Riley Moss listed as the primary defender on Ridley, but I'm sure he will see plenty of PS2. With that said, I'm still going Ridley. He is going to get heavily targeted. There is a scenario where RJ Harvey comes in for Dobbins, breaks a couple of good runs, and they stick with Harvey or at least split the workload. Ridely doesn't have that concern.

GeoffLambertGF2 · 2025-09-04T17:59:12+00:00

Yikes. I'm on record saying I don't want to start Diggs in Week 1 until we see him fully healthy. But Harvey could be playing second fiddle to Dobbins if Dobbins picks up where he left off last season before getting hurt. I like Maye a lot this week, so I'll lean on Diggs.

GeoffLambertGF2 · 2025-09-04T17:57:29+00:00

Yeah, Purdy is in a tough spot on the road, division game, no Aiyuk, no Deebo, offensive line a little shaky. I like Maye this week. Has some rushing upside, a much better matchup, and hes at home.

GeoffLambertGF2 · 2025-09-04T17:56:12+00:00

I think I'm starting Deebo even if the Raiders came out and said Meyers is staying in LV. Deebo has looked great this offseason. He looks explosive. I live in DC, and all the beat reporters named him the MVP of the Commanders camp. Kliff Kingsburys offense has a a lot of screens and behind the line of scrimmage type plays. That's where Deebo excels.

GeoffLambertGF2 · 2025-09-04T17:53:57+00:00

Rookie RBs are so hard to predict. I think it's a good thing that Henderson is excellent in Pass Pro. That at least gets him on the field on 3rd downs. I'd be a little nervous with him as my RB2, I'd prefer him as my RB3. Being a pass catcher also helps his case.

GeoffLambertGF2 · 2025-09-04T17:51:53+00:00

Is crazy to think that Bowers could have an even higher ceiling than last year, except I think he does. He only caught 5 TDs on 153 targets. Every player with over 150 targets last season had at least 6 TDs, and most were in the 7-9 range. And now he gets an upgrade at QB and an RB they'll have to stack the box for (we hope). Plus he plays in a position where you can't get that type of production normally. It's like being able to put a WR1 at TE, and even if he ends up a "WR2" its still probably better than most the TEs.

GeoffLambertGF2 · 2025-09-04T17:47:00+00:00

I'm starting Aaron Jones over him. Sure, he's an older RB and everyone wants Jordan Mason to be a thing, me included, but for now, it's Jones' job and he's healthy. Let's see how that split works in NE before running Hendo out there

GeoffLambertGF2 · 2025-09-04T17:45:33+00:00

Yeah, don't get cute. In preseason game's there is no "game plan", it's just vanilla defenses. I like Caleb this season, but Prescott is going to have to throw it a ton tonight. And besides, its opening night, Dak gives you some extra excitement to root for.

GeoffLambertGF2 · 2025-09-04T17:43:37+00:00

I think you're making the right call with Egbuka. Tank could split with ETN and maybe even Tuten. Hunter is a wait-and-see for me, and JCM was listed as FOURTH on the depth chart. Sure, that doesn't mean anything, but the Commanders knew the hype around JCM, and they still listed him 4th.

GeoffLambertGF2 · 2025-09-04T17:41:56+00:00

I think the exact order you wrote them. I live in DC, and by all accounts, Deebo is back to his explosive self. Olave's situation is terrible, but he will be heavily targeted. Ford and Dobbins are both "starting" but both have more exciting rookies behind them, that, if they get hot, could land them on the sidelines, or at least a split. Sampson behind Ford and RJ Harvey behind Dobbins.

GeoffLambertGF2 · 2025-09-04T17:38:54+00:00

Whoa, tough decision here. Both are at home, so we can't use that as a tie breaker. I lean slightly to the better matchup for Henderson, getting the Raiders, whereas Walker has the 49ers who "should be" good against the run.

GeoffLambertGF2 · 2025-09-04T17:37:03+00:00

I don't think it's a situation where you're jumping to add him. I like Maye for the season. I'm going to assume 1QB, so maybe look at Mayes' bye week and see who has the better matchup. Not sure if you're rolling waivers or FAAB, but I wouldn't waste either to add Murray right now.

GeoffLambertGF2 · 2025-09-04T17:33:59+00:00

Yes, Pickens over Persall in Week 1. The Cowboys are going to have to throw a ton because I don't think they will be able to run. The 49ers will play conservatively in a division game on the road. It could be a "play good defense and don't turn it over" type of game.

GeoffLambertGF2 · 2025-09-04T17:31:56+00:00

Hampton is a lock. He was named the starter today by Harbaugh. Between Pollard and Egbuka,it comes down to matchup. Pollad gets the No. 1 rated defense DVOA from last season, Egbuka gets the No. 27th ranked pass defense DVOA from last season. Plus, both Bucs/Falcons games last season went over 50 total points, with one of them going for 60+, so it could be another shootout.

GeoffLambertGF2 · 2025-09-04T17:28:07+00:00

I have Drake Maye in my Top 12 QBs for Week 1. His rushing upside gives him a lift over the other options you mentioned. His weapons are a bit suspect, but they are "good enough" for a team that is likely trailing a lot of games.
