Live Fantasy Football Discord AMA with Pat Fitzmaurice

Pat Fitzmaurice: Hey @everyone. Live chat starting now in the Pat Fitzmaurice AMA channel. See you there!

NSFW: Should I start Jordan Addison, Christian Kirk, Khalil Shakir, or Jauan Jennings this week?

Pat Fitzmaurice: I have Kirk ranked a couple of spots ahead of Shakir (and that factors in Shakir not being 100%).

Stewthebaker:  Hi Pat. Pick one for this week: Bucky Irving, Terry McLaurin, or Darnell Mooney? Also McConkey was dropped in 12-team PPR. Waivers are thin. How much FAAB you emptying?

Pat Fitzmaurice: McLaurin. And I’m not paying more than $3-$4 for Ladd. Limited value in such an extremely run-heavy offense.

syst_m.: Half PPR. I was offered Patrick Mahomes and Jaylen Waddle for Chase Brown. I already have a C.J. Stroud/Nico Collins stack. Trade seems like a no-brainer, but I’m slow to commit.

Pat Fitzmaurice: Yeah, do it. If Tua comes back in Week 7 or 8 as reported, Waddle is a top-25 WR again. I like Chase Brown, but I don’t think Moss disappears at any point barring injury.

Dmell96: Half-PPR pick one: Michael Pittman Jr., Xavier Lagette, Josh Downs, or Rico Dowdle?

Pat Fitzmaurice: I’d go with Dowdle unless Flacco starts for the Colts, in which case I’d pivot to Pittman.

MattyShips: I have Christian McCaffrey and Jordan Mason, but I’m 1-3. If I can trade CMC for Joe Mixon, James Conner, or Josh Jacobs but keep Mason, do I do that?
