Well, hello there! Thanks for joining me today for this AMA where I’ll try to answer as many questions as possible. If for whatever reason, I do not get to yours, a lot of start/sit questions can be answered in The Primer, which has a paragraph on every player from every game. Check it out here: https://www.fantasypros.com/2020/10/the-primer-week-6-edition-2020-fan...

WEEK 6 Start WR Berkham or Shenault ???

Mike Tagliere

1:01

I'd go OBJ as long as he's healthy and back at practice. He was sent home due to an illness yesterday, while Shenault missed Wed practice with a hammy issue, too.

Dele

Better number for Andy Dalton or Ryan Fitzpatrick rest of season?

Mike Tagliere

1:01

I'll say Dalton because Fitz won't have the starting job all season.

Luc

Hey Mike! Cooks, Hardman or P. Williams in half PPR for week 6? My opponent this week has Watson at QB, does this impacts your decision?

Mike Tagliere

1:02

I'd be leaning Cooks after they made it a point to get him the ball in the first game without O'Brien. Williams is a solid play, but we can't pretend he's locked into more than 4-5 targets.

Im in a strange situation where everyone has gotten healthy on my team so I dont know who to sit in half ppr. Derek Henry, Miles Sanders, Jonathan Taylor, Calvin Ridley, Adam Thielen, Davante Adams, AJ Brown need to sit two

Mike Tagliere

1:02

Wow, good problem to have. Suppose you're sitting Sanders and Brown. Congrats on the team, BTW.

standard league: i have RB: CEH, Hunt, Mostert WR: Robinson, A.J.Brown, Woods, Crowder, Diontae Johnson. Need 2 rbs 2 wrs 1 flex. was thinking about all 3 RBS but who should i start at WR? furthermore i have matt ryan and big ben as qbs. would you trade ryan/big ben + either crowder or johnson for wilson?

Mike Tagliere

1:03

Yeah, I'd be starting all the running backs for sure. Can't pass up guaranteed touches. I'd start Robinson and Woods at WR. I would move Roethlisberger and Crowder for Wilson, yep.

1:04

Someone just dropped d.johnson on waviers should I scoop him up

Mike Tagliere

1:04

Absolutely. He's worth more than Claypool, IMO.

Fraser Graham

1:04

Would you trade JuJU, Crowder and Mattison for Hunter henry and Michael Thomas. My current RB's are Mixon, Henry and Carson, TE Waller and WR are Thielen JUJU, Boyd and crowder. I'm 2-3 though

Mike Tagliere

1:04

Yes, I would. You're getting the best player in that deal and it's not all that close.

Andre

1:04

Hey Guys, would you start Devonta Freeman over DeVante Parker or JuJu Smith-Schuster?

Mike Tagliere

1:05

That's a tough one because I usually lean RBs with the touches, but both JuJu and Parker have such great matchups. I'd likely go with JuJu.

Rank these QBs ROS(6pt TDs):
Ryan, Herbert, Cam, Goff, Carr

Rank these K ROS:
Crosby, Gostkowski, Slye, Gould, Carlson, Koo

Mike Tagliere

1:06

Ryan, Cam, Herbert, Goff, Carr. As for the Kickers, I'd ask Dan Harris about that, but my hunch would be Crosby.

Chad

1:06

Hello, in a 12 team PPR redraft league. What do you think JuJu Smith Schusters value is for rest of season? Am concerned as he is not seeing targets & volume as in prior years. Have Keenan Allen, Stefon Diggs, DJ Moore and JuJu as primary receivers. Have Ronald Jones, Joe Mixon & James white as primary rbs. Not sure if I should hold JuJu or try to upgrade at another position like RB. Thanks!

Mike Tagliere

1:07

Yes, I'm panicking a bit on JuJu. If possible, I'd sell high after he has a good game this week (hope so). I've lowered him into the WR3 territory on the ROS.

Guest

1:07

I have joe mixon,devante parker, robert woods to flex. Standard league pick 1

Mike Tagliere

1:07

Gotta take Mixon's touches, especially given his involvement in the passing game recently.

Josh

1:07

Hello Tags, I have James Robinson as my RB2 should I swap what seems like a safe floor for Joe Mixon's ceiling ? Also I have Nick Chubb and Mike Davis should I just take the Davis high and hope that its not too many weeks before Chubb is back or trade Davis for a season long depth RB ?

Mike Tagliere

1:08

I would play Robinson over Mixon this week, but not ROS. I would trade Davis, yes, he's only going to have value for another two weeks or so. Tough matchups with CHI and NO.

Steffen

1:08

Aaron Jones (vs. TB), Ronald Jones (vs. GB) or Mike Davis (vs. CHI), non-PPR. Need two of three

Mike Tagliere

1:09

Aaron Jones and Mike Davis. Both are getting way too much opportunity to bench, even in tough matchups.

Dice

1:09

Who would you start this week, starting 3 out oof these five, Jefferson, Boyd, Crowder, Edmonds, Robbyb Anderson

Mike Tagliere

1:09

Boyd, Anderson, and Crowder.

Tony

1:09

Hi, for rbs I have Mattison, Davis, Jonathan Taylor, Miles Sanders and Joe Mixon. Which two do I play?

Mike Tagliere

1:10

Wow... that's a good problem to have. According to my rankings, I'd play Taylor and Davis. You need to make some trades, as there's too much talent on your bench.

Justin

1:10

Should I be hesitant to fire up Justin Jefferson this week against Atlanta after last week's lackluster performance against Seattle?

Mike Tagliere

1:11

Nah, I'm not worried about it. There was rain almost the whole game and somehow, the Vikings couldn't pass protect for Cousins.

Dice

1:11

Who should I start, pick two of the four? Crowder, Shenault, Boyd, Deebo Samuel?

Mike Tagliere

1:11

Crowder and Boyd.

Guest

1:11

Should Chris Carson's production lower when Penny gets back?

Mike Tagliere

1:12

I'm a tad concerned, yeah, though Carson has proven to be better than Penny. He's still going to be an RB2 considering the lack of true workhorses at the position.

SAM

1:12

I have Justin Herbert, Drew Brees, and Russel Wilson as my QBs and they all on byes what do I do
