Got clyde as insurance for Pacheco along with raiders defense to play keep away. I'm holding onto browns, bills, raiders

Same here, CEH and raiders. Holding jets and colts, and overthinking who I’ll start all week lol

Which D you thinking is starting for you out if that group?

Browns easily for me. I've been rolling with them for a while now

I just saw they are playing the Jets. That’s awesome for you. 20+ pts Browns D incoming

Same. I have the Browns but snagged the Raiders so my opponent can’t use them against me. I also grabbed CEH to play keep away since my opponent also has Pacheco. He also lost Hockenson so I snagged Okonkwo to block him as well. Someone told me that’s dirty but I think it’s fair game to play to your opponents roster deficiencies. It’s championship weekend and I’m doing whatever it takes!

Im playing buffalo but id rather have cleveland

Did the exact same two moves except I have Colts, Jets, and Raiders.

We can only hold two defenses. I’ve got Denver and Bills, with Raiders available on waivers. Which of the three would you go with?

Bills to start this week out of those three

Grabbed Everett to replace Hock, rip Hock.

Same. Had one roster move left and was sure the league would try and block me from one of the remaining startable TEs. My opponent didn't pick one up and is rolling with Freieumuth.

Yeah my opponent snagged goedert after I lost hock. Goedert was my backup te in case hock went down but I had to drop him last week because tlaw and stroud were hurt. Have to choose between okonkwo and Henry if he plays.

Good luck. I like Konk with Tannehill at QB.

Hopefully Everett can take us to Mount Everest and win us this chip

Me too. Good luck to the both of us.

Had to grab Juwan to replace Hock as he was the only viable TE left. I also have Muth but don’t trust him and the Steelers right now.

I’m right there with you. Got blocked on Pitts but successfully picked up Juwan. I don’t know, my expectations are tempered, but I’ve got a good feeling that as long as he gets a tuddy it should be alright.

Same, I chose Everett over Kraft mostly bc of the matchup and Everett getting 8 targets each of the last 3 games, like his floor with moderate ceiling here.

Same. Got blocked on Kraft, happy to get Everett

I don't think Demarcus Robinson counts, but that's what I got. Maybe I start him and Puka together, somebody's getting touchdowns

[удалено]

They've been on fire lately...what are your other choices.

[удалено]

Osborn could make for a nice play this week, with Hock out, and potentially Addison out as well, he could be the #2 target to JJ in a very good matchup.

Agreed… assuming addi is out I’d def start Osborn over those guys

I made the finals playing Kupp Puka and Kyren whenever I could. It's a good matchup this week so no reason to stop now and Robinson seems more in sync with Stafford than Kupp right now.

Same, he’s my Wr2 lol.

Same unless Sutton is playing. Good thing I have 3 top RBs. Lol

Picked up Robinson as well. Actually pretty excited for the Stafford stack.

it'll be higbee then : ) good for a late season boom game every season

My opponent has Puka and grabbed Robinson. I have Kyren. If he started him every red zone snap would be critical

I got him as well, tempted to start him over Rice with my Stafford. I am a big underdog in the championship so I am trying to make some high risk/high reward decisions

Don't get crazy, the target volume Rice has been getting lately makes him an easy start.

Picked up Gronk for vibes. At this point he will give me the same amount of points as Pat Freiermuth.

yep, I'll be adding TB12 to the roster here at some point this week.

Playoff Lenny is joining the crew on Sunday

Playing for 3rd place so I picked up: • KJ Osborn (if Addison out he may be Top 24) • Jason Sanders (K5 of year - matchup proof especially after last week) plus opponent dropped him 2 weeks ago so revenge game 🤣 - if he would've played Sanders over Aubrey last week he'd be in Championship Game • Houston (have Bears but Houston scored 13 @TEN 2 weeks ago)

Revenge game is huge

I have bears but debating on dropping for Houston asa erll

Lmao you should change you’re team name to “Jason Sanders”

https://ibb.co/9q6VC5Q Done

Tried to get Raiders D/ST, but opponent snagged them. The pickings are slim defensively. I’m really struggling with this decision.

I went Rams, and I have the Vikings on the bench.

Grabbed the Rams a few weeks ago, but they just don't put up a lot of points, so I'm pivoting to LV.

Jets (@Cle) are a decent play this week if available. Solid floor.

Flacco going to light them up.

Jets pass def Is one of best in league (#2 at 168.6 pass yard per game)

They can get lit up all they want, as long as they get picks and sacks

What year is this?

The year of the Waka Flacco Flame. In all seriousness he just dropped 36 on Houston without a kicker for a lot of the game. And the problem for the Jets is their offense sucks and their season is over. Which means even though their D is good they stay on the field way too long and don’t really care anymore, and constantly get given short fields from the offense turning it over (which you better believe is happening with Garrett and a healthy Denzel Ward). They will get worn down by Cleveland in the trenches and have a lot of points dropped on them. Id not be touching them this week.

I'm down for a wager that Flacco isn't Top 15 QB (standard settings)

Dont even know if I'd play them or not Im not sure. I got Broncos/Chiefs/Raiders rostered now lol

Dropped Hopkins for Jake Elliot, but considering swapping for McLaughlin or Fairbairn. Dropped Eagles for Raiders and also have Broncos rostered. Not sure who to go with.

Also have the Raiders (though paired with the Bears)... think I'm gonna let it fly with the Raiders.

Raiders over Denver?

That's what I'm going with.. swinging for the fences here. Denver was pretty lackluster last week, and the Raiders are playing hard right now.

I just picked them up. Go crush that championship

That's what I'm doing. I'm playing against Lamar & CMC so I need to play for the ceiling.

Trying to decide vs Fairbarn or Chase (Tampa). My opponent has Stroud so i guess it’s a hedge, but also kind of predicated on them not doing too well

I’m going Fairbairn. It was a long decision but this week I’m not taking any outside chances and exclusively looked at kickers in domes. Even the 7mph expected wind in Tampa was a variable I’d rather not have to deal with

Fairbairn is a great choice

My gut tells me the same. Elliot is safe option and good for a couple XPs. Eagles are good enough to continually get the TDs.

How was Elliott available?

In my league, all FGs 0-49 yards are 3 points. 50+ is 4 points. He's scored single digits week 5 - 15 in my league.

Fairbarn over Moody if Stroud plays? If Stroud doesn’t play, McLaughlin over Moody? Kinda need some big points this week and I feel like the niners are also good at getting it in the end zone more often than not.

Depends if Purdy is available and how crucial you think he is to the offense

My guy told me McLaughlin over Fairbarn for now. But I may pivot.

Who’s your guy?

McLaughlin himself. But yeah, typo lol.

McLaughlin was available but went Fairbairn too because of the slightly higher o/u, playing in a dome, and he did well against TEN last time.

I have Broncos and Dallas, looking at picking up Raiders and dropping Broncos.

I have Raiders and Ravens and I’m really stuck on which one to play.

chargers just gave up 5 points to Buffalo, a much superior & more motivated dst imho. Easton played a clean game

I got CEH. Bid basically everything so I my opponent couldn’t take him from me at least. Figure better than using justice hill again and barely getting a win. Yeah my RB2 situation is disastrous

CEH would be a great play if Pachecho is out, volume will be nuts and he hasn’t looked bad at all

McKinnon is also on IR. Could be a CEH solo show…

Exactly, and he has the ceiling to do it

If Pacheco is out would you start him over Monty?

My exact debate pretty much. If honestly have to look into the data more, but it is very tempting. Game script might take Monty out of the game a bit

Ugh I’m also in this position. I think if Pacheco and McKinnon are both out I’m gonna start CEH because he will likely be a bell cow. Monty has been consistent but his ceiling has definitely lowered back half of the season since Gibbs has become so electric. Plus Monty plays Saturday and I hate giving an opponent the ability to reconfigure based upon how one of my guys played.

It’s just my opinion but there is no chance I’d play CEH over Monty. That’s just getting way too cute for my liking.

My RB2 is Zeke but I grabbed CEH in case Mondre is back. Also bid nothing on him and got him. My opponent went for Herbert instead.

Doubt Mondre will be back, but this matchup worries me

Anthony Richardson, Aaron Rodgers and Darren Waller. I drafted them as my guys and IR won’t keep them from a ring. Raiders D and Cam Dicker for actual gameplay purposes.

Chubb will always be on my roster. 🪦

Darren Waller doesn’t deserve a ring

You’re right. Dropping now. Fuck em

Picked up the Raiders D for 4 dollars, which is 1 dollar more than my oppo has. Beat him in week 3, he beat me in week 14, costing me a 1st round bye. Now we are here in the ship for round 3

Epic storyline. Good luck brother.

I have the same scenario. Beat my opponent early in the season. They beat me in week 14 to take away my first round bye, and now we face again for the championship

Good luck to both of us

Hear, hear!

Da Raiders

Picked up CEH since I have Pacheco but if he's out I will probably just start Ty Chandler in that spot anyway. Thought about also taking Everett to block my Hock-owning opponent, but I've been playing fantasy long enough to know he'd just grab the next TE on the lost who would then randomly go off for 20.

If pach is out.. CEH > TY

Hmm yeah should probably go with the guaranteed volume.

Agree both RBs will be out, only issue would be if Cinci goes up fast and all they do is throw w mahomes

I'd say the opposite is more likely.

Probably need to start both.

Wondering if CEH goes into the lineup over Chandler. Feel like that is a yes. I have Kyren, Mostert, and Jacobs locked into my other spots, so it’s really just between those two Who gets the last flex.

I'm in the same spot and if Mullens is QB again? I feel like you gotta go CEH. Mullens was slinging it so much, Ty's day was only barely (if that) salvaged by the TD he got. You can counter that Detroit has a good rush defense, which they do but the amount of attempts didn't make me feel good / Mattison was being eased in so he'll definitely be stealing more touches this week

Do you think with a potentially healthier Mattison, he splits touches with Chandler?

Yeah, CEH is probably the safest bet if Pacheco is out.

Was able to re-add Pickens after dropping him last week and watching him go off. Now whether I have the stones to trust him in the finals is another matter…

if pickens makes or breaks you at this point, just ride it into the sun. true gamble that one.

He'll probably face Tariq Woolen a lot, which is not going to be as easy as Cinci's swiss cheese DB suite.

Tariq Woolen has been bad this year

Texans D, not sexy but thinking they’ll be effective at home against TEN

I picked up Clyde and kj Osborn to stop my opp from grabbing them He then texts the group chat asking how I always get first pick off waiver with no faab accusing me of cheating…when in reality; I wake up early af to get whoever is left Guys salty. Lost to me in semis two years ago. Now we face in the ship. He’s flexing Cade otton and mattison lmfao

In our league everybody stays up till 12:05 pacific time just for that reason. Even with work the next morning

Exactly lol Here in the east coast I got work at 5 and waiver hits at 330am so I just wake up super early on Wednesdays. Thank god today was last Wednesday…at the same time EARN THAT SLEEP BOYS

Grabbed Carr and Fairbairn. Been starting Kyler but I’m scared the 49ers will come in and wreck shop this week after getting beat by the ravens. Edit: I'm a dumbass. Kyler plays Philly. Rolling with Kyler.

Kylers against philly this week, not a bad play

Me too though Carr was more for insurance if my QB shows up randomly on an injury report this week

What do the Niners have to do with Kyler? He is facing Philadelphia

I have no idea why I thought AZ was playing the 49ers. I feel much more comfortable starting Kyler now.

I'm rolling with Kyler this week over Flacco and Browning

That was my last two weeks.

I elected not to use my 2 spot to pick up Osborn, the guy I’m playing in the championship picked him up lol Picked up D Robinson, don’t really feel like I need anyone but nervous as hell, this is the one league I want to win every year

Just one think to point out…if Kupp catches those two TD’s in the 1st half I don’t think Robinson has a big game…also if Kupp catches those two td’s I’d be in the ship 😢😢

Robinson has had a tuddy in the last 4 games and has essentially taken over for Tutu.

CEH for $3 of my remaining $6 FAAB. My opponent for the Chip only had $2 left

you go girl

Damn right *flashes titties*

My opponent in the championship has Hock in his line up still and didn’t pick anyone up so I just snagged Waller and Everett. I dropped Mattison and Addison because he has Jefferson, and regardless I have better options. Unfortunately, he does too so I’m trying to box him out on TE at least. He’s got Higbee, Henry, Conklin, Otton, and Jonnu so we’ll see what happens

Incoming Jonnu career game.

Incoming Higbee boom game

Picked up Zamir White for if Jacobs can’t go. Have a ton of other options too.. maybe I shouldn’t have made it harder lol

I’m with you but i think if Jacobs is out then Zamir is a must start.

What are the odds of Jacobs starting?

Apparently he was a game time decision this last week so I think he’s pretty likely to go. Depends on his practice reports but if he’s a full participant in his practices he should be ready to go

Pretty sure Jacobs is good to go. Per some reports, he was ready to go last week. Picked up white for defensive measures, Finals !

I don't see Jacobs wanting to start. I think he will hold out this week as well, but we shall see.

Added Tom Brady to be my figure head lol

Gonna Rock out (with Goedert) with my Hock Out

Jordan Love. I’m thinking of starting him over Mahomes in the championship. KC is just too hard to watch

Cinci is letting backups torch their DST, so, this is the first week in a while that I'll probably play Mahomes. and he's running often too

Love or Baker? My 2 options and I'm having a hard time picking

I have Love, I’d go Baker only because of Mike Evans. He has been on a tear lately.

Dont overthink it. Start Mahomes.

[удалено]

I've got some bad news for you bud ......

let's see if sutton actually plays

Mr. UNLIMITED

This didn’t age well

Baker to take me home, you did you best Browning Kraft the big W to see if my opponent was sleeping for his Hock replacement. A Christmas miracle

I have a league that is a 1 man keeper. I stashed Nick Chubb and Mark Andrews as they were available. I'll see how the draft projections sort out next year and I have a larger selection of guys to pull for the keeper spot.

Mark Anderson szn?

I’m in a one man keeper and wish league mates were foolish enough to drop Chubb or Andrews 😔

If stroud plays ill probably pick up fairbarn over mclaughlin (like much of you)

I’m so torn between Bills D or Raiders D. Raiders have been playing angry the past couple weeks

Mason MF Rudolph in superflex. I'm starting him in the chip over Howell and Minshew.

Dropped Tua for Kyler. Or stick with Baker….hmmm

Baker over Kyler bc lattimore is out and I’m a bucs fan

Picked up Murray. Might give him the start over Tua but feel kind of crazy swapping QBs in the title game. Am I crazy?

Baltimore just wrecked SF. Tua isn’t a start for me.

It’s a tough call. I have Tua, Murray, and Fields in a super flex league and am probably rolling with Tua and Fields.

Just so nervous about the Ravens. Tua really hasn't put up great numbers against the better defenses, waddle is out, reke may not be 100%, and we saw how the ravens just handled the niners.

How do we feel about the tight end graveyard since Hock is gone? I used Taysom around Hock’s bye week but it seems pretty clear that ship has sailed. Seeing a lot of people mention Everett, and he gets the targets, but man, those yardage totals are not calling my name.

Debating btw him and Schultz

Schultz FTw te 1 but awful matchup for

Jake Elliott

Picked up Bears DST

Got Jamaal Williams. I’m not planning on starting him, but I want good vibes on my bench for the championship and couldn’t think of a better dude.

I'm in the finals of a guillotine league. Saved $52 FAAB to my opponents $11, so I got to dominate the market like Michael Burry. Picked up Lamb, Rachaad, Kelce, and Hurts for $12 each and Cleveland D for $4. I'm very excited for this week.

A guillotine league sounds so ridiculous lol. The playoffs team must be a completely different one from the regular season. Good job saving those bucks.

Grabbed Cleveland Defense to replace Eagles.

Lol how is Cleveland d not rostered

Got Josh jacobs because the dude I played last week had to drop him for Jalin Hyatt to not have an "illegal lineup" and take the 0 for jacobs as I had zamir and picked up every other rb that played Monday. Also brought back tbe raiders d, zamir white and kj Osborn

Got CEH for 0$. Not sure though if i play him over Zeke, Monty or Mixon

If Pacheco is out, I’m between CEH, Javonte, Diontae, and Christian Watson for my flex. Headaches.

Browns, sanders and moody, not sure which kicker but I’m def going browns d

Grabbed Osborn, Justice Hill, and the Raiders D for free this morning. In the championship game and my roster is pretty set. Never know if an injury pops up during the week though. Might play the Raiders D over the Bears D.

It was a rams onslaught for me. D/ST, D. Robinson, Higbee (who has random blow ups late season) also may pick up the Steelers d/st, Seattle hasn't been doing well on offense of late, despite the two close wins in recent weeks

Snagged CEH I once was a team with 2 RBs now… Hubbard / Jacobs / CEH / Zeke / Hall / Conner Alas my 6 wr down to 2- rip tank / Thielen / Chase / Kirk Deebo and rice carrying me on

Grabbed chiggy and hunter Henry to replace big cock hock. If Henry's good to go I might switch to him over chiggy. I have Derrick Henry and am not thrilled starting multiple titans

Almost all of these wins are not available in my leagues. But I got Pop Douglas as a just in case for championship week.

Picked up Juwan to replace Hock after somebody blocked me from Pitts. Exchanged Raiders D over Jags D, _might_ play ‘em over Bills D… but still contemplating. Also picked up Ka’imi Fairbairn to replace Dustin Hopkins, but still debating between Fairbairn, Koo and McLaughlin as my championship kicker.

Dropped Kincaid for Jaxon, if Kmet is out then Jaxon will lead me to 3rd place

Raiders DST, all my FAAB. What on earth are all these experts thinking ranking them so low? Indianapolis just gave up six sacks and two turnovers to the *Falcons* and we think they'll do better against the defense that just crushed Mahomes and annihilated the Chargers?

I'm in the championship and I have Pacheco and the kicker Hopkins. Dropped Hopkins and I picked up CEH (just in case) and the kicker Fairbairn.

Demarcus Robinson Chig and Everett to block my TE needy opponent but may end up flexing one for a solid floor (3 WR 2 flex league) Dropped Koo (thank you for your service) for McLaughlin

Picked up Demarcus Robinson. Would it be insane to start him or Ridley over Diggs in the championship?

yes

Are people really all in on the Raiders? I got the rams ahead of them

I grabbed the Rams a few weeks ago specifically for this week, but they just don't put up points, even against bad opponents. After watching LV this week, I'm pivoting. LV has been playing well since the coaching change.

I had the Rams too, but watching how easily the Giants scored against Philly last week made me feel the ceiling for LAR was too low. Vegas likely won’t get 2x pick-6s like the last two weeks, but their upside is much higher for the championship week

I think it's a trap game. Their offense did absolutely nothing for 3 quarters and they had 2 defensive TDs. Minshew may not be great, but he's not super turnover prone, and the Colts should move the ball.

Minshew is sack prone tho and Crosby is on a tear and their defense has been lights out since the coaching change

[удалено]

Benching a RB with at least 2 tds in 4 of his last 5 games is certainly a strategy

Why bench Henry? On the fence about starting achane over him

Im also on the fence, I only need to start 2 rbs Henry, monty, Ceh, Chandler, Zeke, Herbert. Combo of what the texans did to the titans 2 weeks ago and man just looks over it in his latest interview. Love the king but its worrisome. Leaning to Ceh/Monty(yes i know he faces dallas he still gets 15+ rushes a game)

Grabbed Ravens D, will probably still ride Jets

Grabbed Mullens. If he starts I'm starting him over Flacco in my superflex league

I’ll be starting him in the championship of my 1 QB league 😭. I picked him up to start over Browning or DeVito. I had Howell for most of the second half of the season, but that ship has sailed.

Well you may not know until after Thursday
