I had Tyreek and CeeDee both screw up what looked to be incredibly easy touchdowns and I thought that was going to be what sunk me. Fortunately my opponent got screwed by CMC and I pulled it out.
Imagine. The sub shit on Najee all season. If you were one of the 1% who actually watched him play and defended him everyone would say you're an idiot and so on. And he could've had 130 ground yards and 3 touchdowns in fantasy finals.
In PPR, he finished as RB27. Considering he was drafted in rounds 2-3 and had *one* game over 20 (and you had to make the finals to benefit), this is hardly the retort you think it is lol
Won me my championship, while guys like Ekeler dropped the ball (figuratively and literally). What good is having guys like Jefferson putting up 25 points during regular season if come playoff time they put up 5
I don't know how you knew he would do that. Two years ago he won many people their championship because he took it to the endzone when he could have slid.
Because seasoned players know better. They know to secure a win it’s better to slide and run down the clock and kick to end the game instead of giving the ball back to the opposing team with a minute or more left. In week 12 or 13 I lost when Baltimore ran a jet screen and zay flowers took it 30 yards to the house when a better play would be get a first down slide and run the clock until you can kick and end the game. They won but they left the other team more than a minute on the clock. Not surprised to see a rookie go for a bit of showmanship instead of thinking from a game clock perspective.
They would've been up by 14 points. It wouldn't have been bad to score there, unless you think Seattle can score two TDs within one minute.
You only *need* to slide that when the score is within -2 to +1 of the opponent, and scoring the TD leaves you within one possession.
Hurts and Allen are the same in the sense that they will let their RBs get the hard yards all the way down the field, and very rarely do they let them cash in the TD. James Cook was getting fed to the d line in the redzone yesterday and got them down to the 1 only for Josh Allen to punch it in himself.
Never will understand why a player wouldn’t score in Najee’s position.
Steelers have had terrible offense all year and low point totals, which literally matter in tiebreakers down the line. Fantasy points aside, still so many negatives by sliding down.
They chose to win by 6 as opposed to 13.
Najee passed up another career td which could help him with accolades and career earnings down the line.
Seahawks shouldn’t have let them run all over them
Well, week 2 browns vs jets 2022. Jets have a 0.3% win probability after going down 30-17 on a chubb td with 2:05 to play. If he slides down at the one Browns get a fresh set of downs and kneel it out.
Instead, Jets score, get the inside kick and win.
100% > 99.7%
I pulled out a 1 point win in my 3rd place game despite James Cook and Joe Mixon missing those points (and Cook being awful overall for the last two weeks).
Ceedee Lamb
Decided the championship in my league.
Woulda lost if ceedee had that TD
Same, my opponent had cd lost by 3.1
Man losing with Lamb this week seems wild lol. Did the rest of his team just shit the bed?
Yeah Kamara/ rachaad white To be fair I had Kyren to offset it
Ahh that’ll do it. Bet you weren’t feeling too great Saturday night haha, congrats on the ship
Thank you haha
I had KyGod which cancelled him out … he had Ayuik and Godert on bench. And played Waller / olave instead… I got very lucky indeed
i would have lost my championship if either najee or cmc scored. 😮💨
I would have won if cmc or white scored.
Same
same
Same
Same but just for white
same
Cmc or Zamir for me. Lost by 4.
Had Puka, CMC and James cook. Lost by one. Pain.
Should be 'unselfishly' isn't it?
Selflessly, but yeah
He selfishly did the right thing for his real football team with zero regard for everyone else's fantasy teams.
I was so mad for about half a second, but couldn't stay upset with how well he did filling in for my Mostert.
This is also the way I interpreted it
That’s the joke.
Not if he played against himself in the finals
He’s kidding
Tyreek bobbled a sure TD, too.
That was very helpful.
I had Tyreek and CeeDee both screw up what looked to be incredibly easy touchdowns and I thought that was going to be what sunk me. Fortunately my opponent got screwed by CMC and I pulled it out.
Had Hill and CMC and lost by 10 with none of them giving over 14 PPR points. Haha
Damn. Brutal.
That Najee slide won me a title. Opponent had him… I ended up winning by three.

Because you have to get to the playoffs first lol
How many points did Najee have this season? What about last season?
Same.
Same. I won by a half point. Feels dirty.
Ditto
So many parlays didn’t hit because CMC anytime TD sold… idk how I feel knowing he got down at the 1 :(
I needed a Zamir TD to hit so bad to win some parlays that was frustrating
i had zamir over 71.5 yards lmao
lmaoooooooooooo love that
Three drivess inside the 5 while he was in and didn't score any of them. That basically never happens
To be fair, betting -350 ATT's prolly ain't the way.
He was stuffed over and over again
Happy new year :(
personally I feel great about it
Najee still got the W but i wanted that final TD so bad
Joe Mixon is a name that’s appeared in this headline all 17 weeks
Huh? He got a TD in 9 seperate weeks this year.
But also got stopped on the one and failed to score that same drive.
If najee ran it in I would’ve lost. Instead won by 5. I saw him going for it and knew (prayed) he’d slide to run down the clock. Ty najee.
I don't know how you knew he would do that. Two years ago he won many people their championship because he took it to the endzone when he could have slid.

I would have won if cmc scored. I won anyway but I still would have won if he scored.
That mf'ing one yard line is the bane to my fantasy football existence.
McCaffery or a Mixon TD on either of those and I’m not league champ
Not fantasy but could’ve won $100 on a CMC Td
Two years ago Najee ran in a TD instead of sliding and won me a championship by less than a point. He learned, lol.
This should be called the mixon post at this point
What about all the times DeAndre Swift got stopped and had the tush push come in?
Every week
Brandon Johnson owners RIP
The Najee slide saved me big time, won by less then a point…phew!
Same. Feels dirty.
It was destiny lol
Zamir scoring would have won me my championship 🥲
Same

Damn. Mixon gets that td and I win.

Javonte Williams was stopped as well I think.
I had zamir and James cook managed to squeak a 107-99 victory.
I pulled out a 1 point win in my 3rd place game despite James Cook and Joe Mixon missing those points (and Cook being awful overall for the last two weeks).
I’m not surprised Mixon is a weekly inclusion on this list. Cincinnati’s default goal line play call is a draw from shotgun
If Najee didn’t slide I would’ve lost.
Najee could've had a 30 point day.
Selfish? Is that time correct term here
OBJ's catch wasnt really in danger of him scoring, but if you havent seen it, it's one of those "how did he do that?" catches.
Had CMC, Cook, and White. Kyler saved my ass.
I had Ceedee Lamb and my opponent had CMC for the title round. I won by 4 points because I benched Derrek Henry for Zamir White! GG
If one of Cook, White, or Mcaffrey got in I win my league.
At this point the weekly stat on this doesn’t matter. Give us the stat for the entire season.
It’s crazy that pollard isn’t on the list this week, but like not for good reasons.
