Curious on some lineup thoughts from some of you. I have QBs Lamar Jackson and Tayson Hill rostered in my primary league. I have started Jackson as my primary QB although I have played Hill sporadically of late as Jackson has struggled.
I'm generally of the mindset of riding the players who got you there. I think this might be the exception, though. Jackson's recent struggles are well documented. He also has the ankle sprain and is up against the resurgent GB defense. Hill, though, has the Bucs up next, is not as talented as a passer and I think much of his running production will be nullified by their defense.
So, assuming Jackson is healthy enough to start and be reasonably effective, who is your play?
Except that Tampa could put up 40 on that defense and then you are looking at some garbage points.
Very true, but Taysom could be benched as a result. HAHA, who the heck knows. Like I said, I think Lamar sits in the first place or is spelled, so the decision could be easy and I know more would say Taysom than Lamar. I just don't like playing players that are not good real life football players.

Tampa is not good against opposing QBs (in fantasy) ranking 28th according to that league. Much of their woes, though, have come against passing QBs who pick apart their injury depleted secondary. The only scrambling type QB who saw any atypical success against them was Josh Allen but he, too, used his arm more than his legs to rack up points.

I'm almost hopeful Jackson sits this week so that the decision is easy. If he plays, I'm leaning Hill only because of Jackson's recent struggles and his injured ankle.
Turns out I really, REALLY should have went and picked up Huntley.
So now my good season run was ended in rd 1 of the playoffs because 1) Christian McCaffrey is a brittle flower, 2) Lamar Jackson got injured at precisely the wrong time, 3) Calvin Ridley is a mentally brittle flower, and 4) Taysom Hill decided his suckiness as a real life QB should extend to suckiness as a fantasy QB at precisely the wrong time.
That, and David Montgomery, Brandon Aiyuk, and Dawson Knox - all on recent good rolls - all took collective dumps for the week.
I needed 7 points from Russell Wilson... I got 3...

Russ has really regressed this year. I mean bad.
His first 4 games, really good.
Then broke the hand. Next 2 games were hot garbage. Had a little 3 game uptick and was good, then laid a $%@# huge egg yesterday. Cost me at least my money back.

After early/late afternoon games, I am down 2.5 pts in my fantasy final with each of us having 2 players remaining, all four active in tonight’s Packers-Vikings game.
I have Davante Adams and the Packers DST. He has Dalvin Cook and Justin Jefferson. With Cousins out and the Green Bay cold, I think I have a decent shot. Need the Packer defense to step up!
This also aligns beautifully with my fan allegiances so I can cheer and boo without guilt. Should be a fun finale!
