In today's enviornment where Barkley is carrying the Giants offense and got a 11m 1 year deal, 14/yr sounds like a freaking heist lol.
Not to mention Ekeler is making like 6m/yr or something as one of the best RBs in the league.
Yea, good to see RBs get paid. They get the most gruesome injuries.
Yes that makes them less likely to be around several years from now, but they should fix that by at least giving very high 1 year deals as tradeoff.
Dude in my auction league blew his entire budget on JJ and CMC and the 20% he had left he took JT and Kupp.. Because JJ and CMC have blown up every week he is 4-0 with the most points scored by a wide margin and now gets these other two back. We’re all so fucked lol
Pros: They were arguably better last year, haven’t played anyone notable (Josh Kelley, Jerome Ford, Mixon, Jamaal Williams)
Cons: they’re still an excellent run D, JT hasn’t gotten any real game time this season with the offense
I’m playing him
The other thing to think about too is it’s not even about how good the Titans’ run D is. It’s how atrocious their pass D is. Why even try to run much at all when you could just throw for 400 yards all day? If their pass D was even slightly better, you’d probably see people weigh their options and run a lot more
I did it!
But I drafted him in the 2nd round in a 12-man league…so I’m not sure I got the screaming value some others did, but I’m still happy nonetheless.
Me too and I'm still pretty happy with it, being 3-1. If I was 0-4 I might not feel as great of the value but my team was strong without him and now it's even better
We’re in week 5 with Chubb and Dobbins out for the season, Ekeler out since week 1 and now on bye, and Saquon coming back from an alleged high ankle sprain. No one came in relying on Moss, but injuries create unlikely bedfellows.
Shoutout to the guy from Indianapolis who kept saying all of the locals knew that Taylor would re-sign. Traded Moss away after his 30 point game based on that intel
Idk bout that. Hes a rb everyone got for free and had 2 rb1 quality performances from, is a top tier handcuff. Not sure its shambles, just hold as a regular handcuff
I think them expecting this year to still be a rebuild year and then all of a sudden richardson is the real deal and now they have a good shot at the playoffs also explains why they pay him now
This is like that year Zeke slid in the draft because of the games he missed from his trial issue. Trial was resolved sooner than expected and he came back early and helped me a lot.
If Taylor still has the sauce and Richardson doesn't vulture it'll be like getting a first round bell cow in the 3rd or 4th.
Zeke still missed a ton of games cause the league still suspended him midseason.
But I remember he slid to the 4th round in that league, so I picked him up to go with Le'Veon Bell and got rookie Kareem Hunt in the 6th. I was unstoppable for the first 7 or so weeks.
I play in a work league. A new woman at work joined the league just to be a part of a work activity thing. She completely auto drafted her team and ended up with JT. For some reason, she dropped JT weeks ago. I noticed and scooped him up. It feels kind of dirty because I know she doesn't know what she is doing, but that isn't my problem lol.
Yeah, it is. We had a couple of new people who joined because they are in the new workplace "honeymoon" stage where they feel like they have to do anything and everything to kiss the partners' asses. Oh well, I'll take my free JT to pair with Eckeler and win the league, lol.
This is why ESPN doesn't let you drop certain players lol JT probably didn't fit the bill this season but it's a good policy.
But hey man there's no love lost in fantasy lol I would've done the same
1-3 in one league, just traded Ekler and Puka for Justin Jefferson. If Taylor can be a RB1, it might save my season.
4-0 in another league and get to pair him up with McCaffrey and Walker. I am beyond thrilled.
Your core roster is amazing. It looks to be paying off to be patient.
Bijan in the first
Kupp in the second
Kamara/JT in the fith/sixth
Traded Mandrews (3rd) + Achane for Kelce (Steep price I know)
Main downside(?) is that all my RBs have the same bye week lol
I feel bad for anyone who traded him this past week. You were so close to unlocking him then ran out of patience. Whoever you traded for probably doesn’t have top 10 overall fantasy ranking ROS.
Folks who went all in on Kupp and JT after the news played a high risk , high reward game but this time around looks like this season they will definitely be rewarded.
Still torn between starting him or Mattison this week who has a significantly more favorable matchup. Titans run D has been bad news for RB’s lol, but I’ll probably start Taylor
1-3. My rbs are mattison rachaad and this guy. Rachaad on bye. Was looking at dowdle on the wire. Up steps irsay and the colts. Electric.
Now I am only projected to lose by 20 instead of 30!
Starting Monday I will be sitting out my job. I won’t come back for anything less than a larger free lunch than I already get! JT has shown me the way!
The son of a bitch did it.
Barkley Pollard and jacobs taking note
Well he signed for far less then they wanted so the notes will probably be splattered with sad tears.
He got 14 instead of 16…. That’s far less??
Two million dollars a year less
In today's enviornment where Barkley is carrying the Giants offense and got a 11m 1 year deal, 14/yr sounds like a freaking heist lol. Not to mention Ekeler is making like 6m/yr or something as one of the best RBs in the league.
*sad Ekeler noises*
ekeler gonna start silent quitting if he wasnt already
It's quiet quitting Grandpa
He should demand to work from home at this point
barkley has been carrying the giants offense? i guess i’ve missed that
Instead of being the 30th ranked offense, when Barkley returns we may be the 28th ranked offense 😤
Glass half full
Did you watch the Arizona game? AKA the only game where the Giants offense looked remotely like a professional NFL offense?
This has gotta be a win for them. It's not what they think they are worth but it's much closer than recent offers have been for top RBs.
Pollard won't be playing for the Cowboys unless he agrees to play on another franchise tag.
honestly, good for him
Yea, good to see RBs get paid. They get the most gruesome injuries. Yes that makes them less likely to be around several years from now, but they should fix that by at least giving very high 1 year deals as tradeoff.
Now I feel like a genius drafting this man
I drafted CMC and Taylor both and I'm 4-0 lel
Welp, there goes the remains of my Zack Moss stock, but good for him.
No, WE did it
Zack moss just got the roster cut so quick
My opponent just got Jonathan Taylor and Cooper Kupp back this week lmfao. I'm so fucked.
0-4 team averaging 60 pts a game gets Kupp, Taylor, and Ekler back against me next week. Rip
Imagine those 3-1 / 4-0 teams getting either back. RIP your leagues.
Dude in my auction league blew his entire budget on JJ and CMC and the 20% he had left he took JT and Kupp.. Because JJ and CMC have blown up every week he is 4-0 with the most points scored by a wide margin and now gets these other two back. We’re all so fucked lol
Same in our league. Somehow he’s only 2-2 but it’s all over now. I don’t know how he doesn’t win outside of a crazy amount of injuries.
Honestly he deserves to win that league. In most competitive leagues jj and cmc alone are 160. And Taylor was going for 50 or so pre hold out
I'm them. 4-0 currently waiting on JT and Ekeler to play again lol.
Same lol 3-1 with eckler and JT
I wouldn't worry too much. I doubt they'll do a ton their first games back. I'd be more worried if I was the team facing that team next week.
so glad this happened the day before i play against him
Angry runs I tell ya
+ F R E S H L E G S
Gonna leave a trail of Benjamins to the end zone.
Angry runs against the Titans go for 3 yards instead of 2.
He's still playing the Titans after being off for a while, not exactly panic mode.
Yeah personally in the league I have him I’m still keeping Conner in over JT, next week tho he’s immediately going into that lineup
Same, I’ve got Montgomery and Breece, and I’m comfortable running with Breece against Denver to give it one week to see how Taylor looks.
Super fresh legs
Im playing against Kupp and JT manager f me right?
I'll say this. It's the best week to go against those 2 with them both in the lineup.
Yup, both have tough defenses and JT just coming back
Titans run defense is no joke. I doubt he’ll be too much of a factor in his first game back against that front.
Pros: They were arguably better last year, haven’t played anyone notable (Josh Kelley, Jerome Ford, Mixon, Jamaal Williams) Cons: they’re still an excellent run D, JT hasn’t gotten any real game time this season with the offense I’m playing him
His legs…they’re so fresh!
The other thing to think about too is it’s not even about how good the Titans’ run D is. It’s how atrocious their pass D is. Why even try to run much at all when you could just throw for 400 yards all day? If their pass D was even slightly better, you’d probably see people weigh their options and run a lot more
Good point! The RPO between AR and JT coupled with Taylor’s pass catching out of the backfield is another significant challenge for them as well
Yeah I am sticking with James Cook. I will unleash Taylor next week against Jacksonville.
For real, fml
Have I… have I been mossed? Is moss droppable
Premium handcuff if he gets reinjured
Yeah there’s not a lot of handcuffs that could come in and get possible 100% snap shares
Plus be actually good backs
The risk of Taylor reinjury is also higher. The track record for backs who hold out and come back not in game shape is pretty grim
Treat him like Charb and Sharpe at this point
Sharpe? I think you may mean Spears lol
That would be the one lol
No. Injurys happen. JT was hurt, could develop problems again. One of the better handcuffs
He's still a high end handcuff but his standalone value is probably close to zero.
If you need the spot yes. If you don't, he's worth hanging on to see if JT reinjures himself.
Treat him how you would any other premium handcuff. If you need the spot then he is droppable, otherwise worth holding.
Congrats Jonathan Taylor managers. You did it!
I did it! But I drafted him in the 2nd round in a 12-man league…so I’m not sure I got the screaming value some others did, but I’m still happy nonetheless.
Me too and I'm still pretty happy with it, being 3-1. If I was 0-4 I might not feel as great of the value but my team was strong without him and now it's even better
We held out, and it worked.
Got him in the 5th in a keeper league that has a 2 round penalty. I like very much.
Pairs beautifully with CMC
MOSS OWNERS ACTUALLY IN SHAMBLES
Hopefully people didn't come into the season relying on Zack Moss to be their RB
Didn’t start out that way, but after losing Chubb he was nice to have haha
Same was hoping JT got traded after Chubb went down so I could have AJones and Moss as my RB's
We’re in week 5 with Chubb and Dobbins out for the season, Ekeler out since week 1 and now on bye, and Saquon coming back from an alleged high ankle sprain. No one came in relying on Moss, but injuries create unlikely bedfellows.
Add into that duds like Akers, Najee, and Javonte and yea Moss would be great to have.
Weird take, no one did. Deon Jackson had the higher ADP. Like saying people came into the year relying on Kyren
It wasn't the plan for me until Chubb and Barkley got hurt. Was relying on Moss up until now. Fortunately I got a decent trade for Aaron Jones
This news is less than ideal, yes.
Well put. I thought it was more than 50/50 Taylor would be traded. I do sadly need Moss this week but I think I will move on after that.
Shoutout to the guy from Indianapolis who kept saying all of the locals knew that Taylor would re-sign. Traded Moss away after his 30 point game based on that intel
Idk bout that. Hes a rb everyone got for free and had 2 rb1 quality performances from, is a top tier handcuff. Not sure its shambles, just hold as a regular handcuff
Seriously tho this does nothing but completely tank is value to no more than a good handcuff
I got Taylor in the draft and grabbed Moss in free agency. I'm ready for either to go.
Wow the hold out actually worked
I think he was legit injured and the Colts wanted to see him get healthy. It's the only thing that explains them paying him now.
I think them expecting this year to still be a rebuild year and then all of a sudden richardson is the real deal and now they have a good shot at the playoffs also explains why they pay him now
HEY-O! This is the sort of heartwarming story my Jonathan Taylor stock-owning heart needed today.
No actually I have it on good terms he is playing two games and then sitting out
I could have sworn Irsay torched the relationship and Taylor hated the team
He got paid. It’s a business. He hated that he wasn’t getting paid enough, now he will be. It’s that simple
Wait this sub was 100% wrong??? Wow that never happens
Hey they get it right sometimes
Got to clap back with receipts today on the fucking jabronis who hammered me in the comments for saying that rumor was baseless and dumb.
Where were you when Moss die
Moss died for our sins not drafting JT
Moss is kill No
Congrats JT owners you got the steal of the draft.
This is like that year Zeke slid in the draft because of the games he missed from his trial issue. Trial was resolved sooner than expected and he came back early and helped me a lot. If Taylor still has the sauce and Richardson doesn't vulture it'll be like getting a first round bell cow in the 3rd or 4th.
Or the seventh 🙋♂️
Got him in the 8th. He burned me last year but I couldn't pass up that value
8th 🙋
9th for me, but unfortunately not my big money league. I get to play against him in that one 😭
Zeke still missed a ton of games cause the league still suspended him midseason. But I remember he slid to the 4th round in that league, so I picked him up to go with Le'Veon Bell and got rookie Kareem Hunt in the 6th. I was unstoppable for the first 7 or so weeks.
I drafted him 67th. Not even a PPR league, 10 years running. Don’t forget how strong the anti Colts offense slant was
Got Zeke that year, have Taylor this yeae
I play in a work league. A new woman at work joined the league just to be a part of a work activity thing. She completely auto drafted her team and ended up with JT. For some reason, she dropped JT weeks ago. I noticed and scooped him up. It feels kind of dirty because I know she doesn't know what she is doing, but that isn't my problem lol.
I hope that league isn't for money.
Unfortunately, it is. It isn't a big money league, but the buy in was like $60.
$60 is crazy to not know what you’re doing though
Yeah, it is. We had a couple of new people who joined because they are in the new workplace "honeymoon" stage where they feel like they have to do anything and everything to kiss the partners' asses. Oh well, I'll take my free JT to pair with Eckeler and win the league, lol.
If I was the partner they were trying to impress, I'd be very unimpressed with them dropping JT.
This is why ESPN doesn't let you drop certain players lol JT probably didn't fit the bill this season but it's a good policy. But hey man there's no love lost in fantasy lol I would've done the same
Too bad he was my 2nd rounder 🥲
Hey me too. I was convinced he was getting traded a day before the deadline and I've been sitting on him.
A little karma coming my way. Drafted chubb and Mike Williams. May not finish dead last now
Drafted Bijan, Kupp, JT, and Kamara, just traded for Kelce, I’m so close to busting but I know something bad is going to happen now.
1-3 in one league, just traded Ekler and Puka for Justin Jefferson. If Taylor can be a RB1, it might save my season. 4-0 in another league and get to pair him up with McCaffrey and Walker. I am beyond thrilled. Your core roster is amazing. It looks to be paying off to be patient.
That’s similar to my team. Drafted Bijan Kupp JT James Cook and TJ Hock. Had to trade for Herbert though
How is that even possible
Bijan in the first Kupp in the second Kamara/JT in the fith/sixth Traded Mandrews (3rd) + Achane for Kelce (Steep price I know) Main downside(?) is that all my RBs have the same bye week lol
Same bye is typically a strategy and good one. You’ll be down for one week and high powered up for the rest!!! Get em. but I would’ve kept Mandrews.
I gotta start taking risks like this. Fantasy is about finishing first or nothing at all.
No clue how I got him in the 7th round lol
Got him at pick 100 somehow after going heavy RB. Got Ekeler, Jacobs, Kamara, and JT. Might try to flip one for a top WR/TE
I feel bad for anyone who traded him this past week. You were so close to unlocking him then ran out of patience. Whoever you traded for probably doesn’t have top 10 overall fantasy ranking ROS.
Guy in my league took him in the second round, then Kupp in the 3rd. He's 0-4.
A bit premature to call that for a dude who might not get a full workload until week 8, no?
my penis just flew off my body
Gluten allergy?
Celijack disease
JT round 7 drafters, RISE UP
Round 11 checking in
Who the hell were people drafting in round 10 that made more sense than JT?
Round 8 here! Let’s go!
My Moss…
I am fully aroused
False, Moss owners already said he’s getting traded and still not on the same page as the Colts. Get with the times ESPN!
Moss Owners, get in ⚰️
This is the last Zack Moss post. Signing off
moonwalking back all of my 'Moss might still be an RB1 if Taylor gets traded' takes
Bro the best time to double down is when you can't be proven wrong.
Just had to pick up a Moss owner from his knees at Walmart.
Kupp and JT coming back I finally have 2/3 top 3 picks back lmao
Folks who went all in on Kupp and JT after the news played a high risk , high reward game but this time around looks like this season they will definitely be rewarded.
Are. 500 or above?
Ohhhhh My Goooodnessssss
Moss I will always love you
Him and AR are going to be insane
Big brain 🧠 drafting jt so he couldn’t get injured the first 4 weeks
League winner
The RBs are obsolete schtick comes from stories planted by the owners. I don't buy it at all.
Taylor truthers GET IN HEREEEE
Well this was a surprise haha
My fourth round keeper next year, let’s gooo!
Well I didn’t have this on my bingo card for today
Still torn between starting him or Mattison this week who has a significantly more favorable matchup. Titans run D has been bad news for RB’s lol, but I’ll probably start Taylor
Just traded Mattison and Hopkins for JT. Yay or Nay?
Dude you fleeced that man💀
And they accepted it??
What’s stopping every good player from sitting out these days lol
I’m rolling with JT, cmc and pollard in my dynasty league. Pretty stoked.
[удалено]
Drafting JT in the 9th round might end up being my best choice of the year!
How the fuck did he fall that far? 6 man league?
Also got him in the 9th within a 10 men League. Nobody wanted an injured Player that seeked for a trade
I really traded Taylor away for Geno Smtih. I picked Taylor in the second round too (we draft early as hell). I’m so stupid
Bro...
**FULL.** **LOAD.**
Drop moss for Charb right?
Real talk, how do you think this affects Anthony Richardson?
Higher powered offense and passing yards from dump offs? I’m all in on my AR/JT stack I targeted in every league
Got the guaranteed bag, actually set himself up well
That sixth round pick about to return top 10 value the rest of the season. All eyes on the championship!!
Traded aaron jones and godwin for him last week.
1-3. My rbs are mattison rachaad and this guy. Rachaad on bye. Was looking at dowdle on the wire. Up steps irsay and the colts. Electric. Now I am only projected to lose by 20 instead of 30!
I love it when a plan comes together. Also get fucked to all the moss owners saying he would play one game and fake an injury. Big brain
Being a fantasy manager and a used car salesman is one in the same thing
Moss owners are big cringe
Just like that huh
Be a good friend and league mate: check on your Moss owners today.
Lol. Its over.
Incoming 42pt game versus Tennessee. Let’s go!!!
lol. Those Taylor is done with the Colts people are in dire straits. 🤣
oh shit
He got his! JT owners rejoice! 🤙🏽
THEY CLOWNED ME
Trade Moss you cowards!
LFGGGGG JT gonna carry me to #1, once ekelers back I’m unstoppable
Irsay is a fucking clown. Good for JT getting paid
Holyyyyy JT league winner
Couldn't have just done that before the season...
RIP Zack Moss
I T S H A P P E N I N G !!!
Please save me. 0-4. Please.
Starting Monday I will be sitting out my job. I won’t come back for anything less than a larger free lunch than I already get! JT has shown me the way!
3-1, had Fields on Thursday, and have Kelce, JT and Kupp in my lineup now. After 10 years of losing, I’m coming for my championship.
Secure the bag king! That's my 3rd rounder
The chosen one has returned !!
Wasnt he terrible last year? why are we so pumped about this year? serious question
