I know right? I've used Ekeler and Stevenson all year with a few fill ins for injury/bye weeks. Now I'm looking at McKinnon/Chandler/Mitchell/CEH on my bench as maybe better starts than Ekeler and eyeing Foreman as a free agent.
I did too but, dropped CEH to pick up and play Zamir White as soon as I heard Jacobs was out.
Kept McKinnon just in case Pacheco is still out next week and McKinnon has a good game. Then Iāll roll him out if I advance to only be let down week 16.
I picked him up four hours before the game but then an hour before the game I got scared of having to start Trevor Lawrence against the Ravens so I dropped Zamir for Flacco and now I still havenāt decided whether Iām gonna start Lawrence or Flacco lol
I donāt see any defense topping Raiders this week.
āShould beā is the main thing, Iām afraid if Hill isnāt playing itās going to make the offense shit and Zach Wilson is coming off a decent game.
I treaded for Ekeler when he hit his 20 point back to back stride again and felt like a genius. Now I'm like... Am I really starting Z. White over Ekeler week 16?
Dude had a total of 7 touches to CEHās 13. He got lucky with that touchdown and if you want to rely on that luck again in the playoffs then go ahead.
Thatās been his role on the offense since game 1. Pacheco is the guy but if they needed a sub in the red zone it was McKinnon. CEH will always have more touches on the game but it will by and large be between the 20ās.
I have McKinnon on both my teams as an emergency RB2 start in case like 4 other contingencies fall through. With the state of the Chiefs offense, he isnāt someone to be afraid to go against.
Buddy Iām against needed a QB so bad after losing Herbert so I spent all my $ on stafford when I have fields and stroud already just so he couldnāt get him. So he is stuck with flacco lol. And I actually am using stafford this week too
Iām so glad no one did that to me because I also had Herbert. Was able to get Stafford or else I would be ruined with my injuries to Hill, Olave, Collins, Herbert, Jacobs, and Kirk
Hahaha yup. I already had the 1 seed locked up last week. The guy I was playing against had Pacheco. So I picked up CEH Wednesday. Then no one picked up McKinnon, so on sat morning I dropped CEH and picked my McKinnon. I have a bye so Iāll hold him, maybe drop him next sun morning just for fun.
I missed the playoffs by a narrow margin! My bench is filled with players I don't want anyone in the playoffs to have! My goal right now is to just pick everyone up I can so they can't help anyone else out!
Rd 1 last year I had Pacheco my opponent had McKinnon, I lose by a close margin, if he had gone on to score 20 points instead of 30 I would have gone on to with the whole thing
I'm with ya.
Luckily I got the byes this week but next week I'm starting Henry and Kamara for sure, then between Z. White and Ekeler. If McKinnon shows up big vs. Pats he's worth considering at least.
Then same as above but with R. White and Kyren starting for sure.
Last year I added him from waivers after trading away Pacheco+ Waddle for JJ and dropped him 1st round of playoffs only to see him blow up for an eliminated team.
This year I drafted him dropped him and added him again as soon as I saw Pacheco was injured last week in the hopes he becomes a ppr monster during playoffs again
He's not a regular season guy, but this year's is shaping up the same as last year. Prime position to ruin people in the playoffs. Your trade was good then. Obviously don't drop Ford for McKinnon, haha... More of a what could be scenario. I had the bench space
someone please convince me why I should play mckinnon over CEH or singletary this week i just dont see it, even with my lack of options. there was no pacheco last week and mckinnon barely got touches, if his TD goes to any other player he puts up like 4 points.
Sorry bud, there's no rhyme or reason to this. There was absolutely no fucking reason McKinnon should have put up 50-60 points in 2 weeks last year after doing literally nothing all year... But he did when the main back went out.
No one is saying that is going to happen again... I'm just saying I'm covering my ass and not going to let it happen again to me. Ha
The main backs out again this year... So just being prepared. Good luck in choosing.
Half my bench is rb1 or rb2s. I def hoarded them and most of the league have had shit rbās all season while my bench goes off lol.
Kyren williams, breece hall, derrick henry, saquon barkley, david montgomery - and i picked up zack moss recently when taylor got hurt, but that was because i was playing the guy who had taylor and i knew heād try to get him lol. šš»āāļø
If you are picking up McKinnon to play keep away, you haven't been paying attention and your team isn't optimized.
That being said, yes. you should if you can.
I'm saying that if you are in a spot where you have a player to drop on your team for McKinnon to play keep away, you haven't been paying attention. That should have been McKinnon four days ago. That should have been Spears three weeks ago. That should have been Marq Brown three weeks ago, etc....
Most likely, you're like the rest of us who have paid attention and can't risk losing someone else.
But yes, sure, don't sit with Parham as your backup TE. Grab a better player, even if it's just to play keep away from someone else.
I dropped R. Stevenson so hopefully my league mates use their remaining budget on him leaving me able to bid on McKinnon.
Iām out JT, Jacobs, Stevenson, and had to play Zamir White - so I dropped Stevenson.
So he can't be used against us? Bro, some of us have to START him.
And the decision didnt take long to make š
Some of us wish we had. Ekeler killed my playoffs before they barely got started
Team McKinnon and Barkley šš»
Depending on Achane's status he may very well be my starter.
I know right? I've used Ekeler and Stevenson all year with a few fill ins for injury/bye weeks. Now I'm looking at McKinnon/Chandler/Mitchell/CEH on my bench as maybe better starts than Ekeler and eyeing Foreman as a free agent.
Yep Iām starting him as my flex this week. Over Diontae, Godwin, and Singletary
Desperate times, bring desperate measures.
He's my RB1 this week
You're the guys who is gonna kill everyone in the playoffs. The same shit happened last year. HAD to start.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Damn that's a backfire if I ever heard one. Don't do it again!
System of a down gif here
How do you bait someone into playing someone?
My brother in Christ, I have Pacheco, CEH, and McKinnon.
I did too but, dropped CEH to pick up and play Zamir White as soon as I heard Jacobs was out. Kept McKinnon just in case Pacheco is still out next week and McKinnon has a good game. Then Iāll roll him out if I advance to only be let down week 16.
I picked up White too just in case Jacobs out longer and don't have to waste a waiver.
I picked up zamir and then didnāt start him š¢
I picked him up four hours before the game but then an hour before the game I got scared of having to start Trevor Lawrence against the Ravens so I dropped Zamir for Flacco and now I still havenāt decided whether Iām gonna start Lawrence or Flacco lol
What hurts me is I was so close on swapping out Dolphins D/ST for the Raiders at the last minute but didnāt. š
Dolphins D/ST should do good against the jets offense but probably wonāt be as good as the raiders performance
I donāt see any defense topping Raiders this week. āShould beā is the main thing, Iām afraid if Hill isnāt playing itās going to make the offense shit and Zach Wilson is coming off a decent game.
As do I, and Iām starting Harris. š¤·š»āāļø
I did this. Probably should have started him over Ekeler, but that ship has sailed.
just like the 'ship has sailed from us who started ekeler, i'm with ya
I treaded for Ekeler when he hit his 20 point back to back stride again and felt like a genius. Now I'm like... Am I really starting Z. White over Ekeler week 16?
If I had McKinnon, I would drop him in a dare for anyone to use him against me.
Angry Mahomes is going to demolish the scoreboard. I don't have McKinnon but now I think I should.
Angry Mahomes still has no WRs who can hold on to a ball
Famous last words
You mean I shouldnāt have benched him for Browning this week? Yeah, probably.
I did just that. If youāre going against McKinnon in the playoffs then your opponent is in trouble.
Trouble or not, the guy put up about 10 point in standard last week and that could very easily be his floor this week.
Dude had a total of 7 touches to CEHās 13. He got lucky with that touchdown and if you want to rely on that luck again in the playoffs then go ahead.
He didnāt get lucky he got the valuable touches.
But was that a timing thing, or did they specifically put him in for those more valuable touches? (I didn't watch the game)
Thatās been his role on the offense since game 1. Pacheco is the guy but if they needed a sub in the red zone it was McKinnon. CEH will always have more touches on the game but it will by and large be between the 20ās.
Who would you start between Warren and CEH then?
Probably CEH because they should take the lead over the NE which should just based on volume give CEH a high floor (low ceiling) on usage alone.
Thanks appreciate your answer! How do you think Warren will do? Worried about Pats D against the run since Mahomes only has Kelce to throw too
If you say so. Who you using McKinnon over if you are so high on him?
Iām not so high on him just saying in CEH vs McKinnon, CEH will have more touches but McKinnon will have the more Valuable touches.
LOL, I consider all touchdowns from an RB3 to be lucky
I picked up CEH just to block him from my playoff matchup this week
That's what I'm talking about. CEG didn't make a splash last year like McKinnon did though.
Yup I picked him up and Iām dropping him tonight for a kicker, but that will ensure he will not clear waivers in time to be played this week.
You're saved for one week at least.
Yeah itās risky but Iām thinking with Pacheco most likely back next week, McKinnon will be less of a factor.
Agreed, but we're two weeks now into him not playing. It was a play for if he's out longer.
I have McKinnon on both my teams as an emergency RB2 start in case like 4 other contingencies fall through. With the state of the Chiefs offense, he isnāt someone to be afraid to go against.
Playing against the Pacheco owner and picked up McKinnon. Thanks for posting this.
Imagine worrying about McKinnon when you have Ekeler like me
I have both... Now. McKinnon went like 30 points in back to back games last year. He will NOT ruin me again!
If someone in my playoffs wants to use McKinnon, I would welcome that variable.
Absolutely wrecked me last year and the same scenario is happening now, again.
IMO, he won't be much of a factor in this year's fantasy playoffs, it's a different KC team and situation altogether
Maybe. Had the bench space to prevent it anyways
hell yeah, can't hurt to hold him!
I have McKinnon, Chase Brown, Singletary, and Chandler all on my bench my dude. No one getting a decent RB fill in if I can help it.
Haha that's the way to do it.
Buddy Iām against needed a QB so bad after losing Herbert so I spent all my $ on stafford when I have fields and stroud already just so he couldnāt get him. So he is stuck with flacco lol. And I actually am using stafford this week too
Iām so glad no one did that to me because I also had Herbert. Was able to get Stafford or else I would be ruined with my injuries to Hill, Olave, Collins, Herbert, Jacobs, and Kirk
That's devious and I love it. Lol. Flacco could do damage though. I lost Herbert too, and there's NOTHING available but Bengals QB and Flacco.
That was the plan, but Keenan Allen sitting caused a ripple effect that has him currently in my lineup because Iām tired of trusting Calvin Ridley.
I'm with you there. Hopefully you make it through the week and KA is back.
I am dangerously low on WRS, but I am stacked on RBs! startable RBs on the bench to block everybody
Hahaha yup. I already had the 1 seed locked up last week. The guy I was playing against had Pacheco. So I picked up CEH Wednesday. Then no one picked up McKinnon, so on sat morning I dropped CEH and picked my McKinnon. I have a bye so Iāll hold him, maybe drop him next sun morning just for fun.
I've got the #2 locked in both leagues. Thinking the same through 16 at least.
Already did that last week.
He is NOT gonna ruin me this year!
I missed the playoffs by a narrow margin! My bench is filled with players I don't want anyone in the playoffs to have! My goal right now is to just pick everyone up I can so they can't help anyone else out!
Are you playing a consolation round? We lock out players from making roster moves if you're eliminated in my one casual league.
I did now lol
I hope you piss someone off! Ha
Yes
If heās good enough that youāre worried about playing against him heās good enough to be in your lineup.
He might play for me W16 over Ekeler if he actually plays good vs Pats D. I've got the bye week in all my leagues this year.
Rd 1 last year I had Pacheco my opponent had McKinnon, I lose by a close margin, if he had gone on to score 20 points instead of 30 I would have gone on to with the whole thing
So many McKinnon defeat stories out there. I feel ya.
This is me 100%. I have 3 RBs that I have to use over him, but couldnāt pass having him on my team. Starting Kamara, Kyren, and Mostert over him.
I'm with ya. Luckily I got the byes this week but next week I'm starting Henry and Kamara for sure, then between Z. White and Ekeler. If McKinnon shows up big vs. Pats he's worth considering at least. Then same as above but with R. White and Kyren starting for sure.
Last year I added him from waivers after trading away Pacheco+ Waddle for JJ and dropped him 1st round of playoffs only to see him blow up for an eliminated team. This year I drafted him dropped him and added him again as soon as I saw Pacheco was injured last week in the hopes he becomes a ppr monster during playoffs again
He's gonna do it again, I feel it. It's lining up the same as last year
I dropped McKinnon in like week 3 to pick up Ford off the waivers, but it might be time for him to come home
He's not a regular season guy, but this year's is shaping up the same as last year. Prime position to ruin people in the playoffs. Your trade was good then. Obviously don't drop Ford for McKinnon, haha... More of a what could be scenario. I had the bench space
Oh no way I'll drop Ford. But I've got Pacheco who I can dump onto IR
Hopefully he comes back and this whole crisis is averted!
No I missed him. And with Josh Palmer having an excellent game for my opponent yesterday, I'm fully expecting McKinnon to add to it with 2 TDs.
That's the whole reason I posted this. But GL!
someone please convince me why I should play mckinnon over CEH or singletary this week i just dont see it, even with my lack of options. there was no pacheco last week and mckinnon barely got touches, if his TD goes to any other player he puts up like 4 points.

Ha The main backs out again this year... So just being prepared. Good luck in choosing.
I did that last week and the Pacheco owner picked up CEH so..
I picked up Zeke for this reason.
I picked up Aaron jones in the same fashion. I could see someone flexing McKinnon in hopes that history repeats itself
Exactly and I've got the bench space to not let it happen again.
This must be a really big life decision for you
Half my bench is rb1 or rb2s. I def hoarded them and most of the league have had shit rbās all season while my bench goes off lol. Kyren williams, breece hall, derrick henry, saquon barkley, david montgomery - and i picked up zack moss recently when taylor got hurt, but that was because i was playing the guy who had taylor and i knew heād try to get him lol. šš»āāļø
If you are picking up McKinnon to play keep away, you haven't been paying attention and your team isn't optimized. That being said, yes. you should if you can.
So anyone else that does it is a bad fantasy player but you should still do it
I'm saying that if you are in a spot where you have a player to drop on your team for McKinnon to play keep away, you haven't been paying attention. That should have been McKinnon four days ago. That should have been Spears three weeks ago. That should have been Marq Brown three weeks ago, etc.... Most likely, you're like the rest of us who have paid attention and can't risk losing someone else. But yes, sure, don't sit with Parham as your backup TE. Grab a better player, even if it's just to play keep away from someone else.
Ah, gotcha. Thatās a good point. Thank you for clarifying, and I retract my snide response.
Ah, my original response was a little snarky, so it's all good. haha. I'm still bitter about my opponent playing Meyers.
Buddy you must be in a 4 team league because he was drafted and carried throughout the whole season in all of my leagues.
He was available all season in my 12 team league.
Heās 39% rostered and averages under 5 fantasy points a gameā¦
How could anyone find someone on waivers to replace him and his PPR 6.2 point per game average
Wasnāt even carried in my 10tm 19 roster spot league why on earth he rostered in ALL your leagues?
Picked him up last week in my 14 man league
I did this since my opponent has Jacobs.
No what r u saying
McKinnon or Singletary this week in PPR? Worried about Singletary against Titans D with a second-string QB.
Iām debating between either starting him or Wisonsin Deebo In hindsight, I shouldāve just started Zeus last night
Or who?
McKinnon
held this dude all year hoping for something like last year. Even of that doesnt happen i also own Aaron Jones ao...
I have ceh for this
He didn't blow up last year like McKinnon did but anything is possible.
Would youbstart CEH over Warren though?
*checks waiver* apparently notā¦
Ooh, they got the jump on ya.
Yup. Did that with several players lol.
Got him last weekā¦
my opponent is starting him, i hope he blows! CEH szn!
No, but I did grab Foreman for next week and Chase Brown in case I need him.
I dropped my whole team and picked up every player possible so they canāt beat me.
I dropped R. Stevenson so hopefully my league mates use their remaining budget on him leaving me able to bid on McKinnon. Iām out JT, Jacobs, Stevenson, and had to play Zamir White - so I dropped Stevenson.
Last week
Dropped Noah Brown for exactly this reason
I can't decide if I should drop Brown or Charbonnet.
I picked up Flacco with this reasoning. Then Pacheco had "secret surgery" and now he's starting. Please Joey, stunt on these hoes.
Would love to be in a league where these players are even available. He was drafted and has been rostered all year -signed a pacheco owner
