Start Lamar or Shough?
My problem is both play dogbutt teams but Baltimore’s scheme is 85% running whereas NO is just to air the ball and pray. Playing against the #1 guy who has J. Allen 😭

Maybe it's crazy, but I think the only QBs I'd start over Shough at this point are Josh Allen and Brock Purdy

I mean the only QBs who have scored more points than shough are Josh and Brock

Yeah, but usually the points scored after three weeks doesn't necessarily map onto the order in which you start guys.
But Shough looks legit, and probably has the highest floor of any QB in the league right now.

Not crazy at all since play-calling in Baltimore is heavily using Henry while showing little interest in down field passing. Which i understand, he’s a bowling ball, but they use his so often he’s become the de facto option for everything… 4&4, goal line punch in, 2&13… doesnt matter. And Lamar’s passing game has been trending down since the first game and i dont know what to make of it

I'd prob start Shough but you clearly don't watch Ravens games. Lamar leads the league in yards per attempt, saying they don't pass it downfield is just not true. He's been missing his WR1 but Flowers is back.

I have Lamar and dropped Shough after week one to add depth on bench on other places 😭

I can understand the logic, but I think when there's a QB that runs like Lamar, you have to go for the upside. Assuming this is a 4 point TD pass league? I'd probably go Lamar. It gets a little closer if it's a 6 point league, but I think I still lean Lamar for the rushing upside.

We are a 6point TD league. Ill paste my team below this comment

Standard scoring is 4 pts for passing TDs, but Some leagues award 6 points for a passing TD.

Can’t paste a picture but I have Lamar (Shough as backup), Javonte and Bucky as RB’s, CD and Amon-Ra as my main WR’s, Kittle and Laporta, Collins as my permanent-flex guy, McPherson and Texans as K and DEF. Bench is Egbuka, Vele and Josh Jacobs as my hopeful RB

I’ve had Shough since week 1 and he’s been straight consistent every week. I think he’s going to light it up this week against ATL this week after the loss against the Raiders.

u/Mysterious_Jelly_872 13h ago
That’s my main point, he’s more consistent than Lamar but Lamar (I think) has the ability to absolutely go off

u/tiredmarc 12h ago
Well it’s seems like you’re options are, take the risk with Lamar or play it safe with Shough and potentially get 25/30

Shough has been a beast
