      Because I also have JD5 who has a better matchup. This is an honest question Josh or JD5? ALL ADVICE IS WELCOME!

      This is a 10-TEAM NoPPR D-League with 28 player + 3 any injury rosters. All TDs = 6.

      Been building this team since 2010. It is my 10th SB in 15 years and my 3rd opportunity to repeat. I am the number 2 overall scorer but am playing the number 1

      Nico hurt me when he got STROUDED. Happily my opponent sat Tua for CLUB-LUB Williams.

      CURRENT STARTERS
      QB – Josh Allen or JD5… WHICH? Bills are trying to lock up the Number 2 seed. JD5 is at home with a matchup made in heaven and they are still in the hunt for a playoff spot
      RB – Bijan
      WR – Nico
      TE – Hockenson
      FLEX (RB or WR) – Achane
      FLEX (WR or TE) – BTJ
      DST – Colts – I should have played the Seahawks, but I WUSSED OUT and they scored 23
      K – Sanders

      BENCH
      J. Herbert
      Bryce Young

      TE – C. Okonkwo
      FLEX (RB or WR) – Jonathan Taylor
      FLEX (WR or TE) – Amon Ra St. Brown

      K – Butker

      Both are solid. Go with your gut. I don’t think you can go wrong either way. He laid an egg with caleb

      Thank you sir!

      LOL… FIGURED I’d get some similar answers. I GOITTA get this right since he already got 22.50 from Henry and still has JT, Jamar and Sun God yet to play. Glad we don’t do FAKE POINTS … PPR.

      Besides my QB conundrum
      1. Bijan has been playing well… but Pennix could sabotage that
      2. Achane blew up for 25 last week, but Mostert is lurking and got 10 touches last week PLUS Tyreek could spoil the game
      3. BTJ is in the discussion for ROY and has looked pretty reliable with Mac Jones… But it is ONLY Mac Jones and who knows when the Browns DST will get tough?
      4. Hockenson has been the “BEST” (?) of my sorry stable of TEs. Nobody has been reliable and I had high hopes for Kincaid
      5. Colts DST – Wish I had had the cojones to play the Seahawks

      I really want to REPEAT! Nobody has ever repeated in this league EXCPT me. I did it twice in 2012/2013 and 2015/2016. WOULD HAVE been a 5-PEAT if Andrew Luck didn’t give me 0.38 points in 2014.

      i am afraid this week is gonna be an “I can’t look” week

      Hey CC, Think all things being equal would go Allen but I’m thinking these guys are pretty even this week. Don’t think things are equal, between injuries to both hands and standings situation, I think Allen is the riskier play. FWIW I’m starting Nix over Allen, expecting a shootout and Cincy can’t stop anyone, much like Atlanta.

      Good Luck Buddy

      I go Allen in this one. They are still trying to lock up the 2nd seed; they are playing the Jets and that team is just about to quite; and the weather.
      – JA: 52, windy, and chance of rain – heavy
      – JD5: 59, windy, and rain w/ a chance of thunderstorms.
      I trust JA’s abilities more in the elements and I don’t see them taking their foot off the gas pedal…

      Thanks Z-D and Mr. Kazansky!

      Still agonizing… Josh having more bad weather experience will definitely factor in good call.

      Seriously… Smitty GOT LOUD at someone who was asking about sitting Allen

      I never screamed at anyone with a Josh Allen vs JD5. In fact, the exact opposite. Someone called tonight with that, and while my answer is Josh Allen, JD5 has climbed into the tier 1 with the top 3 (Lamar, Allen and JD5). When ppl asked Josh Allen and QBs outside those other 2, of course i yelled and will continue.

      Smitty: To be honest I usually don’t watch your youtube stuff until the next day, usually morning. And I am probably looking at my teams while it’s on.

      I know that you got real loud with someone, but I honestly don’t know that I heard what his alternative was. Your rant sounded to me like there were no conditions under which someone should sit Allen and it aggravated me.

      As I am typing this I just heard you talk about JD5 being an exception. I have switched out JD5 and put Allen in. I really was looking forward to JD5 lighting it up in a game where I am only watching that game. I will probably catch Allen on Red Zone this afternoon.

      While I am at it I think you said something about playing Breece over Achane which I have already done

      So right now my No-PPR lineup is
      QB – Josh Allen – Alternate JD5… Herbert went off yesterday though I never considered him… Also have Bryce Young who someone gave up on
      RB – Bijan
      TE – Hockenson – Alternates Kincaid, Pitts and Strange
      WR – Nico – Ugh he got STROUDED for only 5.9 points – Fortunately my opponent only got 10.2 from Jamar Chase who got HIGGINSED
      RB-WR – Breece… STILL not sure about sitting Achane… Man I hate ARod
      WR-TE – BTJ – Have him in both of my D-Leagues – Alternates… Really none AJB, Tyreek, CeeDee (IR)
      DST – Colts – Wish I had played the Seahawks who scored 23
      K – Sanders – Might look for another option

      BTW… I made a trade at the beginning of November that I really regret now

      I got Tyreek – To bolster my WRs and with the hope that I can sell him in the off-season and maybe rape someone. I have not trusted AJB (hate Mr. Tush-Push) and Barkley. PLUS CeeDee has been a concern and now Nico is.

      I gave Christian Watson, Doubs and Jalen McMillan. I don’t regret Watson and Doubs, but I wish I had McMillan back.

      Well… Should have left JD5 in my lineup. Would be leading my game by 11.7 with only his Sun God left to play.

      Sadly I played the Colts DST who got ZERO points and left the Seahawks DST on my bench. Seahawks scored 23.
