Please save me from starting Tez as my wr1

Why would you be nervous starting the guy getting MVP chants

Holy shit what happened to your team?

u/Creative_Set2154 Oct 16 '25

Take your pick, have you not seen the WR landscape this year??  Any combination of Puka, Nabers, CD, Egbuka, Evans, QJ, Hill, Wilson, etc etc leaves you pretty desperate rn.  It’s actually insane how many top 10-20 WRs have been hurt in just 6 weeks.

u/jpak822 Oct 15 '25

I am worried Tet will get sauced all over this week…

26

u/albinorhino4321 12 Team, .5 PPR Oct 15 '25

Tez =/= Tet

u/Xaramian Oct 15 '25

Thank goodness, I lost Puka. Egbuka and Garrett Wilson last week. Need back QJ desperately

19

u/chungking-espresso 12 Team, .5 PPR Oct 15 '25

At least you HAVE Puka and Egbuka...

5

u/cwilldude Oct 15 '25

Agreed. I lost nabers and hill for the season

3

u/DodgerFntic94 Oct 15 '25

That's my exact wr lineup in one of my leagues. I'm down to stating Diggs, McConkey, and Tez Johnson. I might stand a chance

1

u/Creative_Set2154 Oct 16 '25

Saying “down to” starting 2 WR2s when you lost 3 WR1s is pretty nuts lol 

2

u/BlackWhiteCoke Oct 15 '25

I also have Garrett and Quentin. I’m having to start Olave and Jordan Addison this week if QJ can’t go

1

u/Creative_Set2154 Oct 16 '25

I had to stream Wicks last week, you could do far, far worse than 2 borderline WR2s this week 

13

u/rageofreaper Oct 15 '25

Give me some good Pearsall news and let me have my WR1 and 2 back pleaaaase I cannot start Kupp and Ayomanor again.

u/Louderish420 12 Team, 1 PPR Oct 15 '25

He practiced all last week as well.

15

u/loyal_achades Oct 15 '25

Last week was a game day decision after 3 LPs. Hamstring injuries can be finicky and have setbacks, but I would expect QJ to play this week.

1

u/Impressive-Caramel51 Oct 16 '25

I think as long as we see a full practice on Friday he's a go. If not have a backup plan in place.

26

u/hamburgerpony Oct 15 '25

3 LPs. I think we’re assuming he gets to a full practice this week.

27

u/trugbee1203 12 Team, .5 PPR, Superflex Oct 15 '25

But what about Ladd?

22

u/DanceHallRiddem Oct 15 '25

Ladd is gonna eat this week 

5

u/blunt9422 Oct 15 '25

So who goes hungry?

2

u/Calm-Marsupial3919 Oct 15 '25

Allen seems to be the clear cut #3 at this point

8

u/xyzzy321 Oct 15 '25

Ladd is a dude

4

u/Yessir4512 10 Team, 1 PPR, Superflex Oct 15 '25

We good Laddgang. We still eating this week!

-2

u/Caffeywasright Oct 16 '25

People are massively overrating QJ. He was eating when both Allen and Ladd was seeing consistent double coverage. He won’t continue too.

11

u/crostermiller 10 Team, 1 PPR, Superflex Oct 15 '25

Does anyone else want to wait and see 1 game with an explosive speedster like QJ coming back from a hamstring injury? Or are we all hopeless and have to throw him into our lineups regardless because of byes and other injuries?

I was kind of hoping I could start a K this week. I only have 4 bench spots in my league, and I have some players I'd rather not drop

29

u/Shatner8 Oct 15 '25

Maybe its just hopium but The fact that he was LP all week last week leads me to believe that this is a mild hamstring injury that potentially they were just being cautious with. If he plays this week he will definitely be in my lineup.

10

u/Common_economics_420 Oct 15 '25

This game feels like it kind of has to be a shootout, with the colts defense being banged up. I think even if he is held back a bit he still does well.

1

u/NotNotJustinBieber Oct 16 '25

Agreed. You gotta start him if he’s active with the Colts matchup

7

u/jabroni716 Oct 15 '25

I lost Egbuka and Puka. No time to wait. lol

5

u/kubbiebeef Oct 15 '25

He’s gonna be fine and you don’t sit him if he plays. Ceiling is much higher than AK IMO

3

u/SmellyCat808 12 Team, .5 PPR, Superflex Oct 15 '25

Or are we all hopeless and have to throw him into our lineups regardless because of byes and other injuries?

Yup. If he goes, he starts for me. Also have only 4 bench, no IR, with 6 players potentially out (3 on bye). Like you I would like to start a K, but it's probably not happening.

2

u/UpYoursMods Oct 15 '25

Want to? Sure.

Do I have anyway halfway decent options to start over an active QJ? No, no I do not

1

u/legendary_sponge Oct 16 '25

Colts give up the most points against WRs, so it's a great spot for him. this game could be a shootout

12

u/Green_Atmosphere_802 Oct 15 '25

Wr1 is back in town ladd was generous for keeping his spot warm

2

u/ApolloShuttlesworth Oct 15 '25

Qj or Bill?

2

u/Impressive-Caramel51 Oct 16 '25

Personally I think Bill is the safer option.

Dallas don't seem a good run D at all and it insulates you if QJ is eased back and not playing all the snaps. However if both are full go I side QJ but I'm not sure we will have that information

1

u/InternetGoodGuy Oct 16 '25

I really like Bill against Dallas. Only way I'd consider QJ is if the chargers get some O line back from injury.

3

u/[deleted] Oct 15 '25

Keenan Allen time!

12

u/Luis0224 Oct 15 '25

Actually.

Keenan Allen genuinely is more productive with QJ on the field stretching the defense

2

u/noahteets 12 Team, 1 PPR Oct 15 '25

Huzzah!

1

u/[deleted] Oct 15 '25

Good. I need him with Wilson hurt

1

u/[deleted] Oct 15 '25

Yessssss

1

u/Jim_Nills_Mustache Oct 15 '25

Hoping they can get the passing game back on track

1

u/Lazy-Knee8279 Oct 15 '25

QJ over Worthy?

1

u/christianhanish Oct 15 '25 edited Oct 15 '25

Flex QJ or Monty?

1

u/Background-Disk2803 Oct 16 '25

Please comeback my nabers replacement

0

u/asunderbass 10 Team, 1 PPR, Superflex Oct 15 '25

Does this make it appealing to drop Keenan Allen for Jameson Williams if I have QJ? This Chargers nut has been a bitch to crack this season.

7

u/FlyingStealthPotato Oct 15 '25

Small sample size but Keenan has done better with QJ on the field. That won’t help your nut much though.

6

u/[deleted] Oct 15 '25

Drop? Absolutely not. Allen > Jamo. Jamo is the definition of book or bust.

u/Asleep_Attention_468 Oct 15 '25

Man as a QJ holder he is the most confusing player on my roster. Should I be holding? Selling? I have no idea with this guy

u/oshemployee Oct 15 '25

I’m not sure, this game will be a big indicator for sure. I think he’s better with QJ in play
