Help me set this lineup!

I am 0-7 against the guy I play in week 1. This IS my superbowl. I need to win. Help me set my lineup. PPR, 1 QB, 2 RB, 2 WR, 1 TE, 1 FLX.

QB:
Russell Wilson
Matthew Stafford

RB:

  1. Jonathan Taylor
  2. Breece Hall, Chase Edmonds, or CEH

WR:

  1. Justin Jefferson
  2. Courtland Sutton or Rashod Bateman

FLX:
One of the above WR’s/RB’s or George Pickens, Brandon Aiyuk, Garrett Wilson

If it makes a difference, my opponent is starting Cooper Kupp. I’m not sure if the logic of “start Stafford to score when Cooper scores” is a thing.

I really need help with QB between Wilson and Stafford. Thinking the rest of my lineup will look like:

JT
Hall

Jefferson
Sutton

and Batemon in the flex.

I respectfully request that AxeElf not respond to my inquiry and readily admit that I am inferior in every way. Thanks in advance.

You have the right idea already. Stafford and Wilson are neck-and-neck in the projections I looked at. I would lean towards Stafford just on his talent and the overall talent of the Rams offense.

Tough one. If you are behind in projections, you need to bring a riskier lineup.

Stafford has the better matchup. Bills - Rams has been a shootout before, and the over/under is significantly higher than for the Broncos - Seahawks game.

However, if it is a high-scoring game, chances are Kupp will benefit heavily as well. And I don’t know if starting Stafford as a security blanket will be enough to give you a W.

If you are behind in projections, I would probably chose the riskier option here and hope that the Broncos will score more than the Rams. And start the combo of Russell and Sutton. Yes, there is a high risk this will backfire, but unless your opponent has no other assets aside of Kupp, you will probably have to take that risk.

I would also start Aiyuk, hoping that the grapevine rumors are correct and he is the new WR1 in San Francisco.

Good luck!

Not crazy about either choice but will go with Stafford.

Seattle is not very good. Guessing Denver jumps out in front and runs a lot, You already have Sutton who should be the one making Wilson’s day.

I would balance things with Stafford in what “should be” an exciting game back and forth.

I would wait until Sat, on the rest. Too much still in motion. Bring this back up then for the best opinions.

While sorting picks and bets I left out Denver is in CRAZY Seattle, LA is home and likely Buff stuffs the run forcing Stafford to the air.

You get to take score on 2 top players before setting your line up. Like it.

Hope you went with Wilson in the revenge game. Then JT and Chase E. Also JJ and Sutton. Flex I like CEH. He needs to prove he’s the guy, and I think Patrick trusts him with the check downs. Bateman and Hall are both good but, I need to see something there first. Good luck.
