Week 9 Pickups & Starts
Heading into crunch time, I'm 5-3 and have to make up some ground despite the most points in the league. Here are my situations with most big bye weeks done. PPR.
QB: Russell Wilson is now my only QB with Winston self destructing last week. Dare I pick up Fitzpatrick? Other FA QBs include Alex Smith (who I already dropped due to lack of upside), Mayfield, Osweiler, Carr, Beathard, Darnold, Mariota, etc. Any worth a pick up? Would any be worth a start over Wilson vs. LAC this week?
RB: Assuming Melvin Gordon is healthy, I'm fine. Hunt and Gordon carry the load. If he isn't healthy, or if I have to plug a flex spot, I've got the emerging Peyton Barber and Doug Martin available.
WR: My trio of Jones/Allen/Thomas have all finished their bye weeks. That means I have to choose between Jarvis "50% catch rate" Landry and suddenly anemic Kenny Golladay for flex spots.
TE: Set with my Burton/Cook duo, but also submitted a claim for Doyle. This week, Cook @SF or Burton @BUF?
D/ST: Ravens vs. PIT, Patriots vs. GB...or FA pickups - Cowboys vs. TEN, Skins vs. ATL, Raiders @SF, SF vs. OAK?
Flex - Landry vs. KC, Golladay @MIN, Barber @CAR, D. Martin @SF?
Thanks as always.
Re: Week 9 Pickups & Starts
none of those guys are super appealing.. start wilson over fitz or smith
I'm starting golladay as the trades today free up some more targets for Golladay this weekend.
I would roll with Cook as he is getting a lot more looks now with cooper gone.
Scoop up the cowboys and play them.

Re: Week 9 Pickups & Starts
Wilson has been a Td machine and has a great ROS schedule. You can roll with him.
Think I’d still Flex Landry due to matchup—I’m still a little worried about Golladay’s volume now that DET has been a little more run heavy. The trade of Tate does help, though.
Start Cook v SF.
Are you rostering two D/ST? Only need to hold one. I’d also go with Dal of those choices this week.

Re: Week 9 Pickups & Starts
I would not roster 2 QBs unless you have to.
I like Landry over Golladay due to the matchup this week, but love Golladay going forward with no Tate.
Cook @ SF for me.
DST. Im a streamer, but Washington has been great lately. I would drop Baltimore for them and roll with it. Skins have Ryan outside on the road.
