At 0-4 I am desperate and can't afford another loss. When Jonathan Taylor was ruled out yesterday that meant I needed to make a trade. I was able to pull off the following:
Taylor and Mclaurin for McCaffrey and Pittman. The guy I traded Taylor to already has Hines which is why I think he was OK with it. Don't feel great about it, but it at least gives me a chance of winning this week instead of a guaranteed 0-5. Thoughts?

My big decision this week is for a PPR flex spot between Bateman, Pickens, and Etienne. I've been using Bateman all season, but he's dinged up now and might be ruled out. Even if he's not, I feel like I should bench him anyway instead of playing hurt. I feel like Pickens and Etienne are both in good blow up spots this week. Pickett loves Pickens and will throw downfield more than Trubisky (and if there is a weakness on the Buffalo D, it's the corners due to injury). With Etienne, Robinson's recovery makes his production far more volatile that I was counting on, but he is still the more explosive of the two and he is going to have a blow up game at some point this year. Houston is the worst team in the league in terms of giving up fantasy points to RBs, so this looks like a good spot for it. I'm leaning towards Etienne here, but I'm open to suggestions. Other guys on my bench are Mooney, Pacheco, and Huntley, but I'm not really inclined to consider any of them.

even before the QB switch he was creeping his way into Tomlin's gameplan. That trend might keep going in that direction. Pittsburgh will need to throw vs Buff.

I think there is a good chance Pickens will be a full time starter by the end of the season, but for this week, I'm still worried about the volatility.

Anyway, thanks. I have some thinking to do about this one.

What exactly has Pickens done that's better? 11 receptions on 20 targets isn't very good. Yeah he's hit some home run balls that have propped him up and caught people's attention because of the highlight reel but that's about it. Johnson 23 receptions on 37 targets still seems far superior to me.
The problem is the offense does not move this ball. Najee Harris hasn't been getting jack sh*t either this year. Is Harris also "not that dude"??
Aside from the fact Johnson's TDs are down he looks fine. No one is getting into the end zone for Pitt. Pickens included. And Johnson is far more likely than Pickens to find it.

If anyone is a threat to steal end zone grabs from Johnson its Friermuth btw.

This year has been brutal if you didn't get one of the top 6-7 QBs. Dak and Lance injuries. Rodgers and Brady slow starts. Russ and Stafford have just been awful.
Used to see only 0-1 QBs gone before round 5 but I think that's going to change next year.

In the other, I took Lance in the 10th, which I thought was a steal, and Tua in the 14th or 15th or something as a backup. I made the fortuitous call to bench Lance for Tua the week Lance got hurt and Tua torched the Ratbirds, but then a week later, I'm searching for answers again with Lawrence as a stop gap. I'm hoping Tua comes back (as much for just hoping there's no lasting brain damage that forces him to retire) and I can rotate Tua and Lawrence effectively enough to stay on top.
Two teams are 3-1 and the other 4-0, so it's working fine so far.

The flip side is you got guys like Jeff Goff on the waiver wire throwing up top 5 numbers

Allan Lazard - NYG

Diontae Johnson gets a ton of targets. He's simply not good with them. I'll use 2021 as an example.
1) Johnson has garbage hands. His career catch rate is 62.7% career. This is really bad for how he is used. His average depth per catch is 8.5 yards. This is comparable to the 70%+ group. Godwin, Renfroe, Beasley, Waddle are all around 6-7 in average depth which is why they are at 70% catch %. Inversely, Johnson is comparable to McLaurin and DK at the back but they're both in the 12%+ for average depth. This means Johnson gets a lot of easier catch opportunities and just doesn't catch them.
https://cdn.rotoballer.com/2022/02/e...bfc3bde288.png
If your memory of Diontae Johnson’s season involves lots of really short tosses on shallow drags bouncing off his hands or chest, you aren’t imagining things. Johnson dropped a whopping 14 passes within five yards of the line of scrimmage, per Sports Info Solutions. He dropped 16 overall to lead the league in this unofficial stat.
2) Johnson is not particularly effective with those catches.
Diontae Johnson was targeted 169 times in 2021, only Cooper Kupp was targeted more. Yet, while he ranked 2nd in targets, he ranked 10th in yards and tied for 16th in touchdowns. His catch rate of 63.3% was not impressive, ranking 138th out of all qualified players, and 30th out of the 49 wide receivers that caught at least 50 passes last season.
Making that catch rate number worse is his yards per reception, 10.9, which ranked 38th out of those same 49 receivers. That led to a 43rd place finish out of those 49 receivers in yards per target. Diontae Johnson’s efficiency as a receiver was not Pro Bowl level, he caught fewer of his targets for fewer yards than most of his peers. It’s pretty easy to argue the only special thing about his season was how much Ben Roethlisberger threw him the ball.

Amon'ra at 1pm and he's highly questionable. If he's out who's my WR2?
Pickens
London
love both these dudes going forward but hate to have to count on them so early. I'm leaning London because he has the targets in the bank, especially with Pitts out.

Went with Lazard and Johnson at WR, and CEH and Singletary at RB. So far Lazard did well enough thanks to the TD grab. F*cking Rodgers getting passes deflected that were meant for him 4th and goal at the end of the game like a ph aggot. Could have had a 2 TD day from Lazard. Stop throwing side armed you retard.
"One day I won't be able to lift any more. Not I won't want to lift. I mean physically unable. That day could be decades from now or it could be tomorrow. All I know is that's the day I'll wish I could lift more than ever. The day I'd give anything for one more workout, one more set, or one more cardio session. So go hard and enjoy every workout, every set, every rep. Because one day you will wake up and you will never get it back."

It happens like once or twice a game, and it's a killer. If he could only fukking catch the ones that hit him right in the hands, he'd be a perennial all-pro.
Diontae Johnson gets a ton of targets. He's simply not good with them. I'll use 2021 as an example.
1) Johnson has garbage hands. His career catch rate is 62.7% career. This is really bad for how he is used. His average depth per catch is 8.5 yards. This is comparable to the 70%+ group. Godwin, Renfroe, Beasley, Waddle are all around 6-7 in average depth which is why they are at 70% catch %. Inversely, Johnson is comparable to McLaurin and DK at the back but they're both in the 12%+ for average depth. This means Johnson gets a lot of easier catch opportunities and just doesn't catch them.

Note - He led in 2020, too.
2) Johnson is not particularly effective with those catches.
So…yeah, why is he good?
Steelers run 3 WR sets at 75% which is very high in the NFL. This would directly cannibalize Diontae's targets.

Matt Rhule fired and Baker with an ankle sprain. DJM might not be a total bust after all.

Not gonna lie, getting tougher each week not to bench Diontae Johnson. I already had to bench DJ Moore in this god damn league. Giving Johnson every chance to avoid benching both of the WR I drafted to start. Luckily I keep winning each week but right now my team feels like I'm desperately trying to hit all the right buttons to stay afloat. Aside from Cook and Hurts, not one person on my team is an automatic start any more fml.
Reynolds is on a bye next week so Johnson will probably get another week to redeem himself, granted it will be against TB. Better show up or might find himself next to DJ.

Despite Breece getting 2 TDs voltured I have a small chance. CEH needs 28 which considering his usage isn’t likely. 2 injuries this week and Swift/Thomas out and I still had a chance. My team needs to get healthy badly.
