Hey everyone!!!
I’m Andrew Erickson of FantasyPros. AMA!
We’ll be here every other week through the fantasy season to answer your questions. Here are my weekly rankings.
Each week, I’ll kick things off by writing a Fantasy Football Forecast for the upcoming week. The Forecast is part usage report, part waiver wire advice, part buy/sell trade advice. Then, I’ll jump over to the sports betting side to write the NFL Betting Primer and my favorite NFL Player Prop bets for BettingPros.
I’d also recommend you check out our My Playbook in-season management tool. You can sync your fantasy league for FREE and:
- See the top available players in your league
- Take the guesswork out of finding trades
- Get projections and matchup win probabilities
- View your league’s power rankings
And there are more even features available to premium subscribers.
Now, let’s get to some questions!!! lfg!!!
Note I will start answering them around 430pm ET!
Just wanted to point out that making Pollard the RB1 pick this week is quite bold, and I applaud anyone taking a stance like that.
What are your most controversial takes this week?

What do you think the future holds for Bryce Young?
Hey AE! Thanks for doing this AMA.
Do you have any sleeper WRs for a one week play? I’m looking at guys like Noah Brown, Quentin Johnston, Odell Beckham, Josh Reynolds. Not sure who to be excited about this week
Would you start Miles sanders tonight, or run the risk of losing out on a Singletary faab bid and needing to start Mcbride in the flex?
Geno Smith v WAS or a Josh Dobbs v NO?
Yes, Smith has the better matchup, but … are we sure he’s good this year?
Alright I asked Joe Bond this too. Bye week hell for me. Got a tricky one for you. Need some advice but it’s lengthy.
8 team 2QB 2FLEX 0.5 PPR
QB: Mahomes, Hurts, Kyler
RB: JT, Swift, KW3, Achane, Conner, BRob (WAS)
WR: AJB, Ceedee, Nico, Hopkins, Addison, Terry
TE: Andrews
DST: Browns
K: Aubrey
Okay so I have Mahomes, Hurts, AJB, Swift, and Achane all on bye. Plugging in for WR, RB, and Flex isn’t my issue. My issue is I don’t know what to do at QB with both Hurts and Mahomes on bye. Who tf do I drop for my second QB? Anyone I drop would easily be the best player on the wire so it’s almost for certain that I won’t be getting them back. And my options at QB on the wire are Heinicke, Pickett, Love, Minshew, Mac, Z Wilson, DeVito, and O’Connell. I’m at 5-4 with the most points this season by about 70 points to a team who is tied with me at 5-4.
Top 4 teams make playoffs and the way it sits right now is such.
1st: 8-1 (1275.04 points)
2nd (me): 5-4 (1364.06 points)
3rd: 5-4 (1294,32 points)
4th: 5-4 (1114,94 points)
5th: 4-5 (1292.5 points)
6th: 4-5 (1154,36 points)
7th: 3-6 (1249,18 points)
8th: 2-7 (1177,66 points)
Now, I face 1st seed this week and 3rd and 4th face each other so one of them is coming out 5-5. The 5th and 6th seed also face each other so one of them will also be 5-5. If I lose this week, that puts me at 5-5 but I feel like the odds of any of the possible 5-5 teams making up the difference in PF are very slim. Should I just eat the L this week and not risk dropping anyone for a second QB? Or is that a stupid move to take the L this week and risk losing my cushion in PF and record in the event of ties down the road? Thanks in advance for reading and helping.
Would u start foreman over addison this week? Ppr
I feel selfish asking “which of these great options are you going with” but, which of those great options are you going with?
Half ppr 8 team league, pick one WR, one RB, one TE, one Flex (already firing up Amon Ra and CMC)
Appreciate any help you can provide in clarifying these decisions! I’m the #2 in the league and going up against the #1 so really angling for the win
WRs
Adam Thielen
Diontae Johnson
Davante Adams
DK Metcalf
RBs
Josh Jacobs
Rachaad White
James cook
TEs
TJ Hockenson
Taysom Hill
Hey Andrew, I need to win out in my 0.5ppr home league, so looking at trading Puka away due to his bye. Tried gunning for Aiyuk but no joy - what’s the lowest WR range you’d trade him for? Evans, Hollywood? (lower?). I could hold, but I’d have to play Watson/JSN/Shaheed this week
Why does so much WR analysis overlook when receivers catch a small proportion of targets, for example you guys said DK was due for a big game when he caught 4/13 one game
What’s your thoughts on Achane ROS, should I have been trying to sell or should he be cool ROS?
