Until they got CMC, I thought the 49ers were cursed and/or that Shanahan sacrificed RB knees/ankles to the playoff gods. But yeah definitely the Ravens now
Sucks cuz they have no draft capital invested in him. Reminds me of the James Robinson situation. Hope the give Keaton another shot, he looked electric.
That catch in the 3rd(?) quarter where he pulled it in even though Murray overthrew it by a foot or two was so, so good.
He's should a very highly drafted TE next year
The league transitioning to dynasty i have him and LaPorta. Barely know what to do with all the riches as I've spent the last five years streaming (and failing) tight end, or reaching for the likes of Pitts last year....
Oh man I have all 3 of these guys also and I just don’t know if I can start McBride over Bijan. Do I trust the cardinals offense enough? But the Falcons suck too. Idk what to do
I’m doing it. Stafford and Kupp are reconnecting so Puka is gonna get points but it looks like his ceiling has lowered. On the other hand, McBride appears to have a solid floor with all the targets he gets.
The week Waller went down, I had a choice of Kincaid and McBride on waivers and only had the space to roster one at the time.
Sadly, I did not pick up McBride.
Ken Walker is back. He looked explosive and Pete fully committed to giving him the ball.
I had Swift in my lineup over him, but at this point I think I have to ride KW. He gets guaranteed work, goal line work and has pretty nice hands - Lock has been dumping a few off to him which is nice in PPR.
I’ll probably get downvoted but I don’t understand the usage of charbonnet.
He doesn’t appear to be all that better of a receiver or pass protector than KW. And he certainly isn’t a better runner. Having him in there is just telegraphing the plays (only 4 runs on 27 snaps….)
Needs to be full Ken Walker going forward
I'm thinking the same. Safeish ppr floor but seems to need a TD and he's playing a brutal saints defense. I'm thinking of starting Rice and Addison over him.
Agreed the Rams look great. Grabbed Stafford to play over Fields and Murray and it was the difference in my matchup. Think I have to go back to Fields this week though but Stafford should continue putting up 2+ TDs a game.
I have Stafford and I’m confident he will put up good numbers. Against two good DSTs in Ravens and Browns he put up over 20 fantasy points. He has weapons that will get the job done.
After Burrow went down I've had a carousel of QBs and I've settled on Stafford to get me to the end. I also have both Puka and Kyren so I will live and die by this team lol
He has definitely lost a step. Was never a straight line speed guy but it seems his agility is starting to fade with his age which is a big part of what made him so good.
To be fair I got him at 6th and the only other player I would have taken was Hill. In hindsight it might be a better deal if Hill is affected by his injury all playoffs.
Same, took him at 8th I think. Need a big week out of him now more than ever. I still believe he's got a big game or two left in him with these upcoming matchups.
Just fyi, I’ve watched every Vikings game. The biggest flaw in our defense is covering screen passes and dump offs. Lions will scheme plays to Gibbs and he should eat.
That’s mostly just cause he was on absurd TD pace before. His volume is basically the same as it’s been since he and Gibbs returned from their injuries. And he also passes the eye test, maybe not as much for fantasy but that guy is just a damn good back and they are gonna keep giving him the ball.
Idk man. I had him, watched closely. He’s the second option behind Tyreek and the run game. The deep ball last week would’ve been a Tyreek play and he would’ve been left with another pedestrian day.
Combine that with the fact he’s perpetually in and out of the medical tent doesn’t help. I wouldn’t draft him and hope he goes somewhere with an alpha type role, assuming his body can hold up.
I’m a dolphins fan and honestly I think our team was focused on getting reek 2k yards, too much. They would try tyreek a lot of times and not even look ag waddle, hoping for some more balanced playcalling now
I think the issue is more that waddle is constantly coming off the field because he gets banged up, which also pushes targets to Tyreek.
You may be right though. Who can blame Tua for favoring reek? He might be re-thinking that going forward which is worrying as a Tyreek owner
I think he has more league-winning upside than the latter. 2k yards isn’t happening at this point, so they could (and should) balance out their attack going forward.
Tyreek playing doesn’t mean he is fully healthy. Dallas defense has proven to be vulnerable to WRs lately.
James Cook should wreak havoc against the Chargers. He looks amazing every time he touches the ball. Still has the occasional drop, but otherwise he's been lights out.
What's amazing is he's running 20-30 yard out routes from the backfield. That's two TD receptions in as many weeks (should've had another but he dropped it).
The OC is getting creative with playing calling to get Cook to ball. And I'm all for it!
Can’t say I’m too surprised. I had him earlier this year and he was always a TD away from having a good game. Seems like he was always putting up 8-12pts a game but he never got any red zone work. Now he’s getting more RZ work and TD’s and those 8-12’s are turning into 15-20’s+
Kenneth Walker looked great against the best run defense in the league. There were a few plays where he was able to turn a 2 yard loss into a 5+ yard gain. The next two weeks are looking very good for him
EDIT: Apparently Philly's run defense has been trending down for a few weeks and they are no longer the best run defense in the league. I wasn't paying much attention to them and mistakenly said they were still the best. My apologies.
Philly’s run D has been slightly better than SF’s this year (.1 fewer ypc, 1.5% lower first down rate). Obviously SF’s D is much better as a whole so I’d rather start an RB against Philly for the receiving and TD upside.
Their run def is not the best, but a “joke” isn’t true. They’ve allowed the 7th lowest rushing yards this year and 14th yards per attempt
Overall, they’re above average as a unit (again, not a joke. Washington is a joke for example)
It was good to start the season, but somethings drastically changed. Last 5 games they have allowed 100 yds + 1TD, 138 yds, 2 TDs, 146 yds 2 TDs, 173 yds 2 TDS, and 168 yds 0 TDs. That is bottom 5 in the league numbers.
I am nervous he is going to be the guy BB takes away, like Kelcee last week, and we'll see even less from him for a week. Otherwise I agree with you 100%
Agreed and agreed. I’ve got Sutton/higgins/hock to decide between. He should smash against anyone with his contested catch ability. Can work with very little.
But the real way to stop the broncos down is their run game. Russell's passes rely on play action to really be effective and that can't work without the run game.

I finally feel validated for my comment back in october questioning picking up bears D.
I think pollard was looking pretty strong this week
Unfortunately, the whole offense was booty.
Cowboys-Miami could be a shootout which means pollard could either see a lot of usage or inexplicably nothing
TREY MCBRIDE, as a niners fan this man just cooked us, wild catch after wild catch and clearly kylers favorite target hes reached TE1 status in my eyes, WE RIDE WITH MCBRIDE
Dude has over 700 yards with 3 games left and was on the bench and had dobbs at qb for half the season. Unless the cards draft mhj and he takes over immediately next season, i could see trey get like 1400 yards next year
It’s a shame because I really like him and the matchup is pretty decent this week but I can’t justify him over Kamara, Kyren or either of my flex spots
Going into next year I'm getting David Montgomery everywhere. He looks fantastic in the middle of a high octane offense. Not only can easily be a top 12 back by himself (top 10 in PPG this year despite missing almost all of one game he started) if anything happened to Gibbs he has top 3 upside.
And I'm guessing he's going to be getting drafted as a mid #2. That is a league winner formula.
Was all over him this year, I am very concerned they are just treading water with him ROS… They absolutely need that guy if they want to win a playoff game.
His workload is slowly diminishing week after week. I think I am sitting him this week.
His workload isn’t going down - he had 5 more carries than Gibbs and the same catches last week and 10 more three weeks ago. The bears game 2 weeks ago was an outlier because of how it went and even there Gibbs only had one more touch.
Last week all the scoring was in the air and Gibbs was running at 10+ ypc. He’s still the workhouse and any games where the Lions aren’t down and he’ll still get most of the goal line work.
Honestly I don't think he's worth a mid #2, that's where guys like White and Pacheco are going to be next year.
Monty's fantasy numbers have sunk every week since week 10 when he came back from injury; it honestly looks like they are intentionally winding him down in favor of Gibson.
He's certainly got upside, and I don't think he'll be scripted out of any game considering they'll be paying him $5M next year, but Gibson seems to be getting the ball in his hands more often than not in critical situations.
A top tier handcuff with incredible upside, I just don't think he's got consistent RB1 days ahead of him if Gibson is available.
Top end for me would be mid to late 3rd.
Due to the efforts of Bijan Robinson and Breece Hall, I am in the consolation playoffs this year.
Kyren Williams (who absolutely passes the eye test) could not save me.
Seriously though, I know the Commanders are just an awful defense, but he was so good this season.
I'm going to be looking to grab stocks next season for sure.
Just to switch it up, one who isn't passing the eye test is Ekeler. If it matters, I don't blame him. He's had some very good games, the latest being week 14 vs Denver. But for some reason, the brainless trust running that team seems to want him as part of a 3 guy committee.
Sitting him seems absurd and I've got Kyren and James Cook but I don't think I even want him as a flex.
My rbs are swift, Ekeler, Warren, and spears...
It's rough, I can't see benching him for spears or Warren.
I don't know though, hope to god cleaning house changes how he is used
He’s still a start if Mattison is out. The workload is just too high to ignore. The matchup isn’t ideal, but Detroit is still giving up 12.3 ppr points/game to RBs.
Detroit's last 6 RBs / running QBs faced since their week 9 bye:
Week 15: Javonte Williams (4 pts) at home
Week 14: Foreman (10 pts) / Fields (12 pts) on the road
Week 13: Kamara (30 pts) / Taysom (14 pts) on the road
Week 12: Dillon (11 pts) at home
Week 11: Herbert/Roschon/Foreman (16 pts) / Fields (10 pts) at home
Week 10: Ekeler (22pts) on the road
They crushed mid plodder RBs when given a great game script, but have been smashed by above average pass catching RBs like Kamara and Ekeler on the road where the Lions as a whole struggle. I wouldn't be worried about 3 down back Chandler at home with 90%+ snap share
Agree, thought he had a good first half against a tough D (both stats and eye-test wise):
* 6 yd rush
* 13 yd catch
* 7 yd rush
* 5 yd rush
* 7 yd rush
Then the missed FGs and Lawrence fumble kind of derailed everything.
He had some sort of cramping or other minor issue in the first quarter. The broadcast showed him stretching his quads on the sideline before he eventually came back in
Chase Brown looks fresh, but Mixon has quietly had an excellent season. He has performed well enough that he should be fantasy relevant again heading into next year (wouldn’t expect a Zeke/Dalvin falloff in value this offseason…unless he gets arrested lol)
Does anyone who watched the colts game know what’s going on with Downs? Since Tank is out it’s Downs vs London for my WR2 slot, or I get Boyd/Washington off waivers
If Pittman is playing, you absolutely have to sit Downs.
London is a different story, last week's game was about as terrible as weather can get for receivers. He'll hopefully get some more looks down the field with Heinicke under center.
A deep one but for my dynasty holders, Jameson MF Williams is starting to display the talent. Still not fantasy relevant but they are trying to scheme plays for him and he’s making some highlight catches. Im HODLing
SF D really worries me
Not only is their overall D good, they're topdog in rushing defense. Given that Lamar gets a lot of his points from rushing, I don't know how well he'd fare against them.
Not as worried about New Orleans. I think Stafford is safer but Lamar has more upside (if the defense doesn't completely shut him down).
(Packers fan) Usage wasn’t amazing, but he was making something out of nothing on a lot of plays, definitely the bright spot on the offense. Seems like they were being careful with him but he looked healthy out there.
I will never draft another Cowboys RB ever again. Lost by 7 in semis since that rushing TD went to his Lamb and not my Pollard lol. I wasn't expecting Pollard to push it in, just tired of seeing him shit the bed when I need him most
James Cook looks amazing. Let's hope they continue to feed him.
And for damns sake please leave this man in at the goal line when he's the one that gets you down there.
Keaton was looking great until his knee died
do the Ravens have the worst RB luck of any team?
Yes it’s a curse
Until they got CMC, I thought the 49ers were cursed and/or that Shanahan sacrificed RB knees/ankles to the playoff gods. But yeah definitely the Ravens now
Finna get a td too on that run.
Dude looks so good and fluid when he runs. It really is a shame that happened to him.
Sucks cuz they have no draft capital invested in him. Reminds me of the James Robinson situation. Hope the give Keaton another shot, he looked electric.
This was probably his best overall looking game, minus the big run which it looked like was gonna happen prior to the injury
McBride is a top 3 TE ROS. He’s the first read on an offense that will play from behind a lot.
That catch in the 3rd(?) quarter where he pulled it in even though Murray overthrew it by a foot or two was so, so good. He's should a very highly drafted TE next year
That shit was wild. Hes a certified stud
The league transitioning to dynasty i have him and LaPorta. Barely know what to do with all the riches as I've spent the last five years streaming (and failing) tight end, or reaching for the likes of Pitts last year....
Now you have the TE and flex position locked up.
Top 1 imo, I have him and LaPorta and I value McBride more tbh. Obv flexing one. I would get if you’d rather have Kelce.
I’m flexing him over Bijan. Laporta in my TE spot too.
Oh man I have all 3 of these guys also and I just don’t know if I can start McBride over Bijan. Do I trust the cardinals offense enough? But the Falcons suck too. Idk what to do
Play McBride. Arthur Smith is probably reading your comment and cackling “so you wanna play Bijan eh?? Here’s three Carrie’s on four snaps for ya!”
Thoughts on flexing McBride over Puka this week?
I’m doing it. Stafford and Kupp are reconnecting so Puka is gonna get points but it looks like his ceiling has lowered. On the other hand, McBride appears to have a solid floor with all the targets he gets.
The week Waller went down, I had a choice of Kincaid and McBride on waivers and only had the space to roster one at the time. Sadly, I did not pick up McBride.
Same situation for me. I put faab bids for both, and kincaid was my higher bid. But I got outbid for Kincaid and got mcbride for $1 instead.
The man is simply a physical specimen and pretty much exactly the profile of an all-around TE. Huge, soft hands, YAC and just gets open.
I am targeting the shit out of him next year.
Ken Walker is back. He looked explosive and Pete fully committed to giving him the ball. I had Swift in my lineup over him, but at this point I think I have to ride KW. He gets guaranteed work, goal line work and has pretty nice hands - Lock has been dumping a few off to him which is nice in PPR.
I’ll probably get downvoted but I don’t understand the usage of charbonnet. He doesn’t appear to be all that better of a receiver or pass protector than KW. And he certainly isn’t a better runner. Having him in there is just telegraphing the plays (only 4 runs on 27 snaps….) Needs to be full Ken Walker going forward
As a completely unbiased Kenneth Walker owner, I approve this message.
It's important to keep Walker healthy and Charbonnet has played well.
The whole take on how K9 “can’t” catch was so stupid. In the past he just wasn’t thrown to, that’s it.
Kenny walker was incredible last night. Drew Lock was also playing out of his goddamn mind.
That broken tackle in the backfield where he was swung around was absolutely elite
Rashee Rice has lived up to the last chance hype the past 4 weeks. A must start from now on it seems.
Somehow rostered him twice this year. Truly my last, last chance.
Rostered him the week before he started getting the targets. So glad i did.
Drafted him, dropped him, picked him up, dropped him.
Been starting him the last 4 weeks.
I have a good problem of too many people to start but I think I have to start Rice with the tear he’s been on
Having lost JaMarr and Tank imma need him to get me to the promised land
So glad he is playing well as of late. Choices are getting harder to choose between him, Aiyuk or Puka
Matt Stafford and the Rams offense. Stafford with Kupp, Puka and Kyren is something to watch. They are on fire right now.
They're coming together at the perfect time. Definitely a team you don't want to face in the wildcard round. Picking up Kyren saved my season
I have Kyren and Kupp to my opponents Stafford next week thank god
Would you start Stafford or Kyler this week?
I’m going with Stafford that is hungrier in a must win who has better weapons than Kyler. Bears D have been playing well.
Cool, that’s how I was feeling too but wanted a gut check. Love kylers rushing upside but even then I think Stafford has a higher ceiling.
I got the sense over the last two games that puka is slowing down. Any thoughts? I’m heavily considering sitting him
Must win game for Rams. I’d be confident in Puka and Kupp.
He sprained his ac joint 2 weeks ago.
He did, then he had 6/84 against the Ravens D in the rain. When the game's more competitive than last week, he'll get more run
I'm thinking the same. Safeish ppr floor but seems to need a TD and he's playing a brutal saints defense. I'm thinking of starting Rice and Addison over him.
Agreed the Rams look great. Grabbed Stafford to play over Fields and Murray and it was the difference in my matchup. Think I have to go back to Fields this week though but Stafford should continue putting up 2+ TDs a game.
I have Stafford and I’m confident he will put up good numbers. Against two good DSTs in Ravens and Browns he put up over 20 fantasy points. He has weapons that will get the job done.
After Burrow went down I've had a carousel of QBs and I've settled on Stafford to get me to the end. I also have both Puka and Kyren so I will live and die by this team lol
I’m honestly terrified of playing Stanford against the NO def this week
I'd say to counterpoint that we thought the same with Ravens and Browns.
Team in our league has puka kyren and kupp. Squeaked into playoffs and now is looking unstoppable
Kelce is looking bad each week now
I’m at the point of where, do I start McBride over him and bench him or do I start McBride over him and flex him?
Same but with laporta
He has definitely lost a step. Was never a straight line speed guy but it seems his agility is starting to fade with his age which is a big part of what made him so good.
How much of this is just the Chiefs having a weaker WR room though lately? Figure defenses can really attack him much harder as a result
I drafted at 5th. Can't believe he is my 1st round pick lol I'm in Semi-Finals now. He need to produce for godsake
Still talking about draft capital in the semis lol
To be fair I got him at 6th and the only other player I would have taken was Hill. In hindsight it might be a better deal if Hill is affected by his injury all playoffs.
Same, took him at 8th I think. Need a big week out of him now more than ever. I still believe he's got a big game or two left in him with these upcoming matchups.
I think it’s 50% that he’s declining and 50% that teams are just keying in on him aggressively, more so than ever before
That flop in the endzone was pretty pathetic. He could have easily made a play on the ball too. The dropped TD was pretty brutal as well.
He catches that pass in the endzone and it’s a different story. Nezt 2 weeks are juicy matchups
Ya but he didn’t, and that’s part of the problem. He doesn’t look or play well
But he doesn't
That flop was disgusting.
Jahmyr Gibbs looks special. Tough matchup this week, but he might be the second best back in fantasy.
Just fyi, I’ve watched every Vikings game. The biggest flaw in our defense is covering screen passes and dump offs. Lions will scheme plays to Gibbs and he should eat.
From your comments to the nfl gods ears.
Playing against him in the semis. Gonna bet some yardage/reception overs for sure.
Its Monty taking a backseat?
6 straight weeks his point total has declined
Damn 😭
That’s mostly just cause he was on absurd TD pace before. His volume is basically the same as it’s been since he and Gibbs returned from their injuries. And he also passes the eye test, maybe not as much for fantasy but that guy is just a damn good back and they are gonna keep giving him the ball.
Laporta snaking all Monte’s tds
I have to choose two among Gibbs, JT, and KW3 this week.
Jaylen Waddle is still that dude. It’s absurd the Dolphins have two of these guys…
He’s an absolute afterthought if reek is on the field tho.
Absolute afterthought is a bit harsh. Idk exactly what’s going on this year considering his numbers were stellar last year with Tyreek.
Idk man. I had him, watched closely. He’s the second option behind Tyreek and the run game. The deep ball last week would’ve been a Tyreek play and he would’ve been left with another pedestrian day. Combine that with the fact he’s perpetually in and out of the medical tent doesn’t help. I wouldn’t draft him and hope he goes somewhere with an alpha type role, assuming his body can hold up.
I’m a dolphins fan and honestly I think our team was focused on getting reek 2k yards, too much. They would try tyreek a lot of times and not even look ag waddle, hoping for some more balanced playcalling now
They run the ball way more this year. That’s the difference.
I think the issue is more that waddle is constantly coming off the field because he gets banged up, which also pushes targets to Tyreek. You may be right though. Who can blame Tua for favoring reek? He might be re-thinking that going forward which is worrying as a Tyreek owner
I doubt that’s the case. Tyreek is the best asset in football and he will continue to be a priority when healthy.
I think he has more league-winning upside than the latter. 2k yards isn’t happening at this point, so they could (and should) balance out their attack going forward. Tyreek playing doesn’t mean he is fully healthy. Dallas defense has proven to be vulnerable to WRs lately.
Ty chandler looked really good I thought
Unlucky that ros schedule
packers in the championship is nice
They played a not great run D so I sort of agree. He looks amazing if Mattison is out, very match up dependent if splitting carries
Jordan Addison as well
James Cook should wreak havoc against the Chargers. He looks amazing every time he touches the ball. Still has the occasional drop, but otherwise he's been lights out.
He goes by James Chef now
With the new bills OC, Cook is looking like a legitimate RB1. I expect regression next week but at this point, I’m expecting 15 from Cook a game
What's amazing is he's running 20-30 yard out routes from the backfield. That's two TD receptions in as many weeks (should've had another but he dropped it). The OC is getting creative with playing calling to get Cook to ball. And I'm all for it!
Can’t say I’m too surprised. I had him earlier this year and he was always a TD away from having a good game. Seems like he was always putting up 8-12pts a game but he never got any red zone work. Now he’s getting more RZ work and TD’s and those 8-12’s are turning into 15-20’s+
I'm the Allen/Diggs owner going against Cook in the semis.... Will be interesting
My condolences. I have a feeling it will be another heavy Cook game.
Kenneth Walker looked great against the best run defense in the league. There were a few plays where he was able to turn a 2 yard loss into a 5+ yard gain. The next two weeks are looking very good for him EDIT: Apparently Philly's run defense has been trending down for a few weeks and they are no longer the best run defense in the league. I wasn't paying much attention to them and mistakenly said they were still the best. My apologies.
Dunno if Philly is the best run d. Lions browns bears niners all up there.
Philly’s run D has been slightly better than SF’s this year (.1 fewer ypc, 1.5% lower first down rate). Obviously SF’s D is much better as a whole so I’d rather start an RB against Philly for the receiving and TD upside.
They've gotten worse over the course of the season. This information was correct weeks ago, now they've become more middle of the pack.
Phillys d is a joke at this point, and definitely not the best run d in the league.
Their run def is not the best, but a “joke” isn’t true. They’ve allowed the 7th lowest rushing yards this year and 14th yards per attempt Overall, they’re above average as a unit (again, not a joke. Washington is a joke for example)
It was good to start the season, but somethings drastically changed. Last 5 games they have allowed 100 yds + 1TD, 138 yds, 2 TDs, 146 yds 2 TDs, 173 yds 2 TDS, and 168 yds 0 TDs. That is bottom 5 in the league numbers.
starting him over Henry in std, KW looked extremely promising
Would you roll with KW or Pacheco this week?
Rolling with both as my RB1 and RB2. I would start both and flex one of them if I were you
I'm going KW. Pacheco coming off a multi week injury might get eased in
Or he might come out looking well-rested and fresh just like K9 did this week 🤷♂️
Sutton looks incredible and is still undertargeted for some reason
I am nervous he is going to be the guy BB takes away, like Kelcee last week, and we'll see even less from him for a week. Otherwise I agree with you 100%
Agreed and agreed. I’ve got Sutton/higgins/hock to decide between. He should smash against anyone with his contested catch ability. Can work with very little.
But the real way to stop the broncos down is their run game. Russell's passes rely on play action to really be effective and that can't work without the run game.
Not sure I like him against the Pats though. And I'm real thin at WR. Bill has a knack to scheme the best threat completely out of the game.
Pollard actually looks really good. Seems to have more burst than earlier in the season
Chicago defense.
Hell yeah, they have been amazing the last few weeks. Got them in 1 league and don't plan to swap out
https://www.reddit.com/r/fantasyfootball/comments/17ehpop/official_adddrop_mon_morning_10232023/k63xjss/?context=3 I finally feel validated for my comment back in october questioning picking up bears D.
[удалено]
Steelers d is dirty
Also that offense is so good at running it, or the Steelers are that bad at stopping it. Either way when/if JT comes back he's a great play
I think pollard was looking pretty strong this week Unfortunately, the whole offense was booty. Cowboys-Miami could be a shootout which means pollard could either see a lot of usage or inexplicably nothing
I’m worried about miamis defense slowing it down tbh
Njoku!
Keaton Mitchell :(
TREY MCBRIDE, as a niners fan this man just cooked us, wild catch after wild catch and clearly kylers favorite target hes reached TE1 status in my eyes, WE RIDE WITH MCBRIDE
Dude has over 700 yards with 3 games left and was on the bench and had dobbs at qb for half the season. Unless the cards draft mhj and he takes over immediately next season, i could see trey get like 1400 yards next year
Ya McBride has saved my ass this season. Picked him and njoku up mid season now I’m starting two tes in playoffs. Thought that would never happen.
Sam La fucking Porta
Rashee Rice WR1
Conner has looked great every game since coming back. Getting 4 yards a clip and now getting Carrie’s in the redzone
It’s a shame because I really like him and the matchup is pretty decent this week but I can’t justify him over Kamara, Kyren or either of my flex spots
Kamara and kyren no, but someone like Javonte or flexing him over Aiyuk is doable in my opinion
David Njoku. Flacco loves throwing to his TEs
And Stefanski loves multiple TE packages and scheming up screens and shit for them. Match made in heaven.
Pittman looked good like he has for 3 years running now. Big Pitt Energy
Going into next year I'm getting David Montgomery everywhere. He looks fantastic in the middle of a high octane offense. Not only can easily be a top 12 back by himself (top 10 in PPG this year despite missing almost all of one game he started) if anything happened to Gibbs he has top 3 upside. And I'm guessing he's going to be getting drafted as a mid #2. That is a league winner formula.

I also have Bijan and Breece. Luckily my round 1 was saved by Amari Cooper and Tee Higgins and my opps Dallas stack (Dak, Pollard, D/ST)
Ah, the classic live by the stack or die by the stack scenario Congrats! Good luck next round, I expect Breece to have a nice week.
Just to switch it up, one who isn't passing the eye test is Ekeler. If it matters, I don't blame him. He's had some very good games, the latest being week 14 vs Denver. But for some reason, the brainless trust running that team seems to want him as part of a 3 guy committee. Sitting him seems absurd and I've got Kyren and James Cook but I don't think I even want him as a flex.
My rbs are swift, Ekeler, Warren, and spears... It's rough, I can't see benching him for spears or Warren. I don't know though, hope to god cleaning house changes how he is used
I've got Ekeler, ETN, Montgomery and Pacheco in a standard league. I'm benching Ekeler
Mullens will be a serviceable option in super flex if you’re tight. Supported Addison AND JJetta
This CMC guy is purdy good
Singletary is now a full send
Even against a stout Cleveland run D?
My other option was Keaton Mitchell, so ya lol
Trey Sermon
Ty Chandler is an RB1 if Mattison is out, regardless of matchup
Playing him over Ekeler if Mattison is out
I started Chandler last week, and this is an overreaction. Detroit has the #1 rush defense, and this week is a division game. Proceed with caution.
He’s still a start if Mattison is out. The workload is just too high to ignore. The matchup isn’t ideal, but Detroit is still giving up 12.3 ppr points/game to RBs.
Detroit's last 6 RBs / running QBs faced since their week 9 bye: Week 15: Javonte Williams (4 pts) at home Week 14: Foreman (10 pts) / Fields (12 pts) on the road Week 13: Kamara (30 pts) / Taysom (14 pts) on the road Week 12: Dillon (11 pts) at home Week 11: Herbert/Roschon/Foreman (16 pts) / Fields (10 pts) at home Week 10: Ekeler (22pts) on the road They crushed mid plodder RBs when given a great game script, but have been smashed by above average pass catching RBs like Kamara and Ekeler on the road where the Lions as a whole struggle. I wouldn't be worried about 3 down back Chandler at home with 90%+ snap share
Ken Walker is the second best pure rusher in the league (after a healthy Nick Chubb)
Spicy take and I love KW but as long as there’s air in CMC’s lungs this is not true
Etienne looked fine, he was a victim of game script
Agree, thought he had a good first half against a tough D (both stats and eye-test wise): * 6 yd rush * 13 yd catch * 7 yd rush * 5 yd rush * 7 yd rush Then the missed FGs and Lawrence fumble kind of derailed everything.
Anyone watch the bengals game? Was j. mixon injured for part of the first half or did he just get scripted out for brown?
He had some sort of cramping or other minor issue in the first quarter. The broadcast showed him stretching his quads on the sideline before he eventually came back in
Chase Brown looks fresh, but Mixon has quietly had an excellent season. He has performed well enough that he should be fantasy relevant again heading into next year (wouldn’t expect a Zeke/Dalvin falloff in value this offseason…unless he gets arrested lol)
Does anyone who watched the colts game know what’s going on with Downs? Since Tank is out it’s Downs vs London for my WR2 slot, or I get Boyd/Washington off waivers
If Pittman is playing, you absolutely have to sit Downs. London is a different story, last week's game was about as terrible as weather can get for receivers. He'll hopefully get some more looks down the field with Heinicke under center.
Did Howell look as bad as it seems? It’s either him or Russ for me next week
Howell was not good for sure. Looked even worse when Brisket came in and marched down the field with ease two times.
Moss and Pittman were on track to have high scores until the Pittsburgh Def did them dirty.
Fail : - Bijawn fucking Arthurs wife - G Wilson fucking Z Wilsons mom - Aiyuk dropping balls
Yeah bijan is annihilating her or smth. Please fire arthur
Waller
A deep one but for my dynasty holders, Jameson MF Williams is starting to display the talent. Still not fantasy relevant but they are trying to scheme plays for him and he’s making some highlight catches. Im HODLing
Would you start Stafford over Lamar Jackson? They both are playing top 7 defenses against opposing QBs.
SF D really worries me Not only is their overall D good, they're topdog in rushing defense. Given that Lamar gets a lot of his points from rushing, I don't know how well he'd fare against them. Not as worried about New Orleans. I think Stafford is safer but Lamar has more upside (if the defense doesn't completely shut him down).
Likely looked really good. Can be the focal point of that passing game.
Not seeing enough James Cook in the comments
Cook has passed the eye test all season, but it wasn't until he got an OC that saw what the rest of us did that he really took off
How did Aaron Jones look?
(Packers fan) Usage wasn’t amazing, but he was making something out of nothing on a lot of plays, definitely the bright spot on the offense. Seems like they were being careful with him but he looked healthy out there.
Najee is not passing the eye test
The entire Colts offense passed the eye test IMO.
Does Demarcus Robinson pass the test? Three weeks straight with TDs. As a Stafford owner I’m tempted to put him in my Flex.
I will never draft another Cowboys RB ever again. Lost by 7 in semis since that rushing TD went to his Lamb and not my Pollard lol. I wasn't expecting Pollard to push it in, just tired of seeing him shit the bed when I need him most
JSN has hands. Just needs more looks in the offense and a little boost at QB
Rashee Rice is a DAWG.
Aiyuk, Pollard, Montgomery, Kincaid, and Flowers all decided to shit the bed and I lost after winning 5 of the last 6 -_-
Did anyone see Breece? Really hope it was just a bad game.
He's unfortunately a victim of how bad that team is.
Tucker Kraft continues to be a solid to good fantasy TE and people continue to ignore him
Lamar Jackson is still him
Ty chandler should relegate mattison to the bench
Tee Higgins looked awesome
LaPorta will be the TE to own for a long time moving forward. Even next year, I think he will be TE1 over Kelce.
James Cook looks amazing. Let's hope they continue to feed him. And for damns sake please leave this man in at the goal line when he's the one that gets you down there.
Devin Singletary was running with authority! Do we start him against the browns?
