Everyone loves an Ask Me Anything (AMA), especially the fantasy football community. You can put me at the top of the list of those who love a fantasy football AMA. Answering questions for a specific individual fantasy player is so much fun. Not only am I helping that fantasy player improve their team, but it also challenges me to think outside the general box of who is higher in my fantasy football rankings or who to start this year.
FantasyPros does an excellent job with their Discord AMAs, giving members a chance to have their questions answered by professionals. Please join the Discord channel and reach out to me anytime with any fantasy football questions.
Fantasy Football Discord AMA & Mailbag
Without further ado, let’s dive into some of the questions and answers from my Week 2 Discord AMA.
Lineup Questions
Which Seattle Seahawks running back should I start in Week 2?
I’ll be honest, I’m not sure how to handle this backfield. Zach Charbonnet outperformed Kenneth Walker III in every metric in Week 1, playing 18% more snaps (58% vs. 40%). Yet, I know the minute I start Charbonnet, Walker will see 90% of the backfield workload. Ideally, I would avoid starting either this week and see how things shake out. However, I will likely have Charbonnet ranked ahead of Walker in my Week 2 rankings, but both outside of the top 20 running backs.
Should I be worried about starting Mike Evans and Davante Adams?
While Mike Evans was outscored 23.6 to 10.1 in PPR scoring by Emeka Egbuka in Week 1, the future Hall of Famer led the team with eight targets. Furthermore, he spent much of the game covered by A.J. Terrell. More importantly, Baker Mayfield will have more than 32 pass attempts in most games this season. Meanwhile, Davante Adams spent most of Sunday’s game shadowed by Derek Stingley Jr. I feel confident in starting both veteran wide receivers moving forward.
How worried should I be about Malik Nabers?
I suggested that fantasy players try to trade for Malik Nabers in my trade advice article on Sunday. While the superstar had only 12.1 PPR fantasy points in Week 1, he was the focal point of the passing attack. Nabers had a team-high 12 targets and 32.4% target share. Unfortunately, he only caught 41.7% of his targets. However, Nabers didn’t play in the preseason and missed multiple practices with numerous injuries. I’m not worried about the superstar wide receiver, as better days are ahead.
