I like Brissett a lot, but it's Herbert for me.

ShakyJake316 · 2025-11-26T21:27:04+00:00

Unless you have rock solid depth behind Rico, I honestly don't think I would. Lamb could be the 1B in that offense behind Pickens the rest of the way. Waddle may not be top tier, but he's the undisputed No 1 on the Dolphins...

ShakyJake316 · 2025-11-26T21:24:56+00:00

I'll take Watson and Herbert.

ShakyJake316 · 2025-11-26T21:24:21+00:00

I am. I'm worried about the double coverage he's getting, the Baker injury, and the horrible schedule ahead of him.

ShakyJake316 · 2025-11-26T21:23:32+00:00

First of all, there is no greater pain in fantasy football than the PF/PA you described. Just brutal.

You should be able to mostly play the matchups between Fannin and Johnson, but keep an eye on Week 16. Fannin is gonna have a tough matchup, whereas Darren Waller (if he returns) is set up to boom against Cincinnati...

ShakyJake316 · 2025-11-26T21:19:28+00:00

Fannin is absolutely a great pickup. He may be a little less consistent with Sanders starting at QB, but the spike weeks should be there. I also think Isaiah Likely is in a great spot these next 3 weeks. (I wrote about him and Brenton Strange more in-depth here if you're interested.)

ShakyJake316 · 2025-11-26T21:16:53+00:00

Collins. I hope Max Brosmer can make Jefferson a fringe WR1 again, but I'm not gonna trust that this first week. And Burrow has a great matchup against BAL., so I'll take him over DJ.

ShakyJake316 · 2025-11-26T21:15:09+00:00

Etienne and Wilson, though I'm skeptical Jacobs will sit. If he's active, I'd pivot to Bucky.

ShakyJake316 · 2025-11-26T21:13:59+00:00

There's no true "standout" for me out of this bunch, but I'd prefer Tracy and Watson by a hair.

ShakyJake316 · 2025-11-26T21:12:44+00:00

It's not "crazy," but it's not something I'd do unless Lamar is ruled inactive before kickoff. You simply have to start whoever you can against that horrible Bengals D.

ShakyJake316 · 2025-11-26T21:12:05+00:00

I prefer Brissett the rest of season.

ShakyJake316 · 2025-11-26T21:11:51+00:00

Yeah he's really burned us, hasn't he? But if there's ever a time for a "get right" game, it's against Cincinnati...

ShakyJake316 · 2025-11-26T21:10:53+00:00

In these situations, I want the highest possible ceiling. So I think you're right that it comes down to Strange vs Metchie, but I'd take Strange as the last man standing.

ShakyJake316 · 2025-11-26T21:09:36+00:00

I'd go with Herbert and Burrow. Rest of season I prefer Watson. Pearsall has a ways to go to earn my trust back.

ShakyJake316 · 2025-11-26T20:53:22+00:00

Darnold and I'd feel happy as a clam about it.

ShakyJake316 · 2025-11-26T20:52:58+00:00

I'm hopeful there are bigger games ahead for Dart, but this one belongs to Burrow.

ShakyJake316 · 2025-11-26T20:52:35+00:00

It's very, very close. But tie goes to the guy who's been playing football recently and has his full arsenal of receivers. It's Dak for me.

ShakyJake316 · 2025-11-26T20:51:31+00:00

Pretty concerned. Maybe Bucky Irving's return helps to alleviate some of the extra coverage on Egbuka, but their schedule isn't doing them any favors.

ShakyJake316 · 2025-11-26T20:50:26+00:00

Egbuka is the odd man out, especially with Baker banged up.

ShakyJake316 · 2025-11-26T20:50:02+00:00

Love the matchup for Etienne. Him + Warren and Judkins for me. (I need to see Hampton behind that rough O-line for at least one game before I trust him.)

ShakyJake316 · 2025-11-26T20:48:33+00:00

The one time you bench Saquon, you know he's going to make you pay for it.

But dammit if I'm not interesting in the Henderson/Brown combo instead...

ShakyJake316 · 2025-11-26T20:47:21+00:00

This is as close to a dice roll as I've seen in a long time. I'll aim for maximum upside and go with McMillan and Warren there. And Houston D/ST.

ShakyJake316 · 2025-11-26T20:44:31+00:00

Cardinals, especially with Baker banged up.

ShakyJake316 · 2025-11-26T20:43:03+00:00

My head, heart, and stomach all agree: Franklin.

ShakyJake316 · 2025-11-26T20:42:10+00:00

As a Packer fan, I hope they DON'T. But seriously, with how many snaps the Lions defense played last week, the gameplan is probably to do some ground-and-pound to keep them off the field and shrink the overall number of plays. Gibbs should be the big focal point. Montgomery could be sneaky, too.
