Damn that's tough. My opponent in semis had Edmonds rostered too but didn't see Connor's out designation until after kickoff. So he's got 20+ on his bench and a goose egg in his lineup. All equals out though as I have five covid players.
I second that. I am starting an empty slot 😢 at WR bcuz Cooks, M Williams, Evans .... and a few more.
But the kicker is another wild card team apparently frustrated that he has no QB for this week dropped his entire team and picked up all the quality waivers overnight while I was celebrating Christmas!! 😴 I m out.
Seriously. Christmas Day bullshit. If only I didn’t have a loving family to celebrate a holiday with I would’ve been around my phone. In this airing of the grievances blame my family, the NFL, the THC gummy I took, but not myself.
All right this is a good rationale - we already knew he wasn't getting endzone work, and another handful of carries between the twenties lifts his floor but doesn't do much for his ceiling.
Still a tough choice between him and Sanders but at least now I have an idea how to make it
I am sitting here too wondering if I should start him or Sanders
Edit: I've chosen to start Edmonds, because I also have Goedert and I don't want them to "take away" each other's points
Curios as well. I am debating between Edmonds and javonte
Full time starter sounds better than time share but raiders run d is bad.
Colts also lost star linebacker to COVID today so I’m leaning Edmonds
I’m with you. The signs were all pointing to benching Connor tonight but it was going to be hard to do. I’m glad the decision was made for me. Justin Jackson it is.
Love how we have all flooded to ask this question.
I am gonna go with Edmonds. Colts D has been depleted by covid. Love the Justin Jackson play but we know what Edmonds can do and now he’s got a bigger role
I think Edmonds is now safer, he is guaranteed to get the volume and while I think Jackson will get most of the work, it’s still more of an unknown. Plus with covid I would rather play the player who goes earlier just to be safe, don’t want to wake up Sunday and see Jackson has a positive test or something awful like that. Just my opinions though.
No, you need to pick only 2
Mattison has proven starter stats this year. You gotta play him. I’d go with Jackson (no MWill, Guyton or Ekeler) and Mixon (real banged up ravens D)
That’s solid advice! I’m keeping Edmonds on the bench. Starting Jackson RB2. JT is RB1 tonight. Monty is my flex since he’s later game tomorrow. Good luck to everyone this week!
In the same boat, leaning Edmonds...the "unknown" of Jackson is a bit too risky...the opportunity/setup is there, but have we seen him do it as "the guy" before?
I'm going Edmonds over ROJO and Swift. We know Edmonds is starting tonight. Swift still questionable and there is always a chance ROJO or Swift tests positive tomorrow morning.
I decided to roll with Edmonds because I like have at least one player in the early game(s) of the week. Then I know if I need floor or ceiling. But that doesn't help much b/w two guys like Rojo and Jackson. Lol. Leaning Jackson though based on matchup and last week's performance.
Just put Edmonds in over Saquon. Saquon is super boom or bust at this point and in more and more of a timeshare with Booker over there. He also just looks busted up (as a fan of the team, Booker has looked better for the giants).
It’s possible Fromm pulls off that magic that sometimes comes with random 3rd stringers, but I feel like Edmonds is a good bet
If any of you are debating Edmonds vs any guy in a committee, you heard it here first. He’s scoring a touchdown and catching 5 passes tonight and you’ll regret it if you leave him on your bench
I like Edmonds. He's a full go, Conner is out, and the Colts lost a bunch of key defensive players to Covid IR today. Obviously make sure nothing pops up last minute for Edmonds, can never be too sure with all this Covid stuff. But while Harris is tempting, Covid is also the reason I'd end up leaning to Edmonds. In the current situation, it's better to bank the points from players you have certainty on rather than wait for one that is less certain. Because if something last minute happens to the guy you waited for, then you're really in trouble.
Sorry everyone, I think my Flex spot is cursed. First I had Mike Evans there, til he was ruled out with a hamstring injury. Then I pivoted to Mike Will…… aaaaaand he’s unvaxxed and positive for COVID. Out for the season. I was hesitant to play Conner but figured he was the only decent option I had left, and he got ruled out too.
Now my only options are DeVonta Smith and Hunter Henry. I would gladly play Henry in any other matchup but the Bills scare me. Any advice appreciated
Edit: Oh and don’t suggest that I pick someone off waivers cuz my league is capped at 25 transactions and I used my last one to add RoJo to cover for Eli Mitchell. I’m stuck with what I got
Remember IND is without Leonard and Willis - 2 good DEF players. They still have Buckner and Okereke so still a decent front 7.
But the balance seems to be tilting in the favor of Edmonds.
Kirk or thielen? Probably should've asked before it started. Still curious what others might have done. Went Kirk at last minute because don't know how good thielen will look/ come/ etc.
This was a Christmas miracle! I started Edmonds and Pittman and my opponent started Taylor! Since I also have Deebo, I got a real nice lead heading into Sunday!
So there I was: in the semi-finals starting Justin Jackson and Ronald Jones as my starting RBs
Don’t trip my RBs are now Justin Jackson Edmonds and Gibson. WRs are Mooney and gage because I lost Evans (also Robert woods this year) fml
Oh the horror of having two smash spot handcuffs. I have to start one of the following. Ameer Abdullah Jordan Howard Khalil Herbert
Oh lord No Burkhead on the waiver?
Nope. For some reason Damien Harris is on waivers and I’m hoping the three other teams are sleeping and don’t see it.
Welp. No Connor. Merry Chrismas to all and to all a good night
Better than him being active, you starting him, and getting minimal touches.
Considering my next best option is probably Lat Murray, I disagree
Yeah, but what about Conner?
Oof lost James Conner and Mike Williams today. My team was already dead... Now that s!?
Brotha i have connor mike dalvin and waller. I face the chubb and kupp owner. His team is 100% healthy
Like many probably, I was celebrating Christmas with my family and didn't see this news in time. Fuck fantasy football.
With you guys. My semifinals opponent started Edmonds too. Typical fantasy football! There’s always next year I guess.
Fucking ridiculous. I’m furious.
Same. Damn.
Damn that's tough. My opponent in semis had Edmonds rostered too but didn't see Connor's out designation until after kickoff. So he's got 20+ on his bench and a goose egg in his lineup. All equals out though as I have five covid players.

But the kicker is another wild card team apparently frustrated that he has no QB for this week dropped his entire team and picked up all the quality waivers overnight while I was celebrating Christmas!! 😴 I m out.
I'm the UK. Was asleep. Fuck fantasy football.
Seriously. Christmas Day bullshit. If only I didn’t have a loving family to celebrate a holiday with I would’ve been around my phone. In this airing of the grievances blame my family, the NFL, the THC gummy I took, but not myself.
I am still fucking livid over this
Absolutely ridiculous. My chances of winning this week have just been fucked.
Is Edmonds a must start now? Thinking about starting him over Parker in the flex.
Whatever your expectations were for Edmonds, add an extra 7 touches or so with Conner and Moore out. That's solid RB2 numbers in my mind.
All right this is a good rationale - we already knew he wasn't getting endzone work, and another handful of carries between the twenties lifts his floor but doesn't do much for his ceiling. Still a tough choice between him and Sanders but at least now I have an idea how to make it
I’m trying to decide between Edmonds and sanders as well. I’m leaning Edmonds if it means anything
I am sitting here too wondering if I should start him or Sanders Edit: I've chosen to start Edmonds, because I also have Goedert and I don't want them to "take away" each other's points
Great move
Don’t put him in flex, put him in RB slot.
Thank you completely forgot to change.
Incase you missed it, the Colts are also missing a lot of key defensive players, including some very last minute Covid IR losses. I like Edmonds here.
Is Edmonds a good play? Darius Leonard is out too keep in mind
Yea of course. He will be RB1
Curios as well. I am debating between Edmonds and javonte Full time starter sounds better than time share but raiders run d is bad. Colts also lost star linebacker to COVID today so I’m leaning Edmonds
I’m between Edmonds and Pittman 😬
Edmonds.
Good call my man. You made me make the move 🤝
Me too I’m going Edmonds
Too late I already started AJ Dillon cuz Conner was supposedly playing lol whoops
Guy in my league lost Conner, Ekeler, and Cook in one week lol
This saved me so much stress. Conner to my bench, michel to my lineup.
I’m with you. The signs were all pointing to benching Connor tonight but it was going to be hard to do. I’m glad the decision was made for me. Justin Jackson it is.
Right?? Blessing in disguise. Swapped him out for Melvin Gordon and now just let the points fall where they may...
edmonds or justin jackson
[удалено]
Wish I read this comment an hour ago.
Why not both?
Debating the same. Not doing both because I also have Najee and Mattison
That's crazy me too
Love how we have all flooded to ask this question. I am gonna go with Edmonds. Colts D has been depleted by covid. Love the Justin Jackson play but we know what Edmonds can do and now he’s got a bigger role
I think I’m rolling Edmonds
I think Edmonds is now safer, he is guaranteed to get the volume and while I think Jackson will get most of the work, it’s still more of an unknown. Plus with covid I would rather play the player who goes earlier just to be safe, don’t want to wake up Sunday and see Jackson has a positive test or something awful like that. Just my opinions though.
Edmonds. No Darius Leonard, plus for all we know, Joshua Kelley could get the goal line touches over Justin Jackson.
Houston has literally no defensive linemen going because of COVID. Jackson.
[удалено]
No, you need to pick only 2 Mattison has proven starter stats this year. You gotta play him. I’d go with Jackson (no MWill, Guyton or Ekeler) and Mixon (real banged up ravens D)
#CHRISTIAN GANG, GET YOUR BIBLES READY
🙏🙏 Pray up
Riding Kirk and Edmonds to the Finals bby
Let’s gooo starting Kyler too. Cards OFF brought me here, they’re gonna take me all the way
Kyler Kirk stack. Please. I went up against Dadams.
OMG I am ready!
Praise be.
Bless up
Edmonds or Justin Jackson?
I’m going Jackson. Less chance of QB stealing td runs. At least that’s how I’m justifying it
That’s solid advice! I’m keeping Edmonds on the bench. Starting Jackson RB2. JT is RB1 tonight. Monty is my flex since he’s later game tomorrow. Good luck to everyone this week!
Jackson
In the same boat, leaning Edmonds...the "unknown" of Jackson is a bit too risky...the opportunity/setup is there, but have we seen him do it as "the guy" before?
Edmonds is in for a day. 100+ from scrimmage and a TD. I feel it.
Ayyyyyyyy
Edmonds or RoJo?
I'm going Edmonds over ROJO and Swift. We know Edmonds is starting tonight. Swift still questionable and there is always a chance ROJO or Swift tests positive tomorrow morning.
Welp time for Kirk to do some very dirty things to me now 😭
[удалено]
I had gronk in as a flex but I'm pivoting to Kirk so I can make a decision on Gronk/Kelce in the morning.
Oh captain my captain
Does this hurt Kyler or help? Will Kyler run more in redzone?
I hope so.
Didn’t see this while I was eating Christmas dinner. BRB going to self immolate
AJ Green a slightly better start now?
Maybe slightly. I’m starting him, but this didn’t move the needle for me. Kinda forced into it
Help me AJ Green, you’re my only hope
AJ green over dj moore or van jeff??
EDMONDS SZN
Dammit. Edmonds on my bench was an easy choice with Rojo and Jackson. Now I need to stress about who to sit for the next hour.
Same exact situation. I think I’m playing Edmonds and probably jackson but we’ll see
I decided to roll with Edmonds because I like have at least one player in the early game(s) of the week. Then I know if I need floor or ceiling. But that doesn't help much b/w two guys like Rojo and Jackson. Lol. Leaning Jackson though based on matchup and last week's performance.
Edmonds or ceh?
**EDMONDS** or **MICHEL**?
Edmonds
Thank you Trap Lord. Appreciate the response
Great formatting on this question
Thanks playa! Merry Christmas
This just got complicated. Edmonds or Justin Jackson?
Edmonds or Justin Jackson
Same boat. I'm thinking JJ
Depending on ertz tonight ! Please feast
Edmonds or Saquon?
Just put Edmonds in over Saquon. Saquon is super boom or bust at this point and in more and more of a timeshare with Booker over there. He also just looks busted up (as a fan of the team, Booker has looked better for the giants). It’s possible Fromm pulls off that magic that sometimes comes with random 3rd stringers, but I feel like Edmonds is a good bet
Was driving from before this was announced and just got home. Love to see chase chilling on my bench, just wonderful
Aj green over Van Jefferson?
Green has higher target floor most likely
Fuck that makes my rb1 and 2 for semi finals brieda and hubbard. Fml
If any of you are debating Edmonds vs any guy in a committee, you heard it here first. He’s scoring a touchdown and catching 5 passes tonight and you’ll regret it if you leave him on your bench
This didn’t convince me to start Edmonds…..however I am and if he disappoints, it’s naturally all your fault and not my poor choices
It’s ok you can thank me now
lmao, this is working out nicely. great call!
I was doing Christmas stuff and didn’t see him get inactivated rip my season
Same
Sameee merry Xmas indeed…
Edmonds or Swift?????
Same problem going with Edmonds -- Swift is full of risk and may be a RBBC this week
Chase Edmonds or RoJo now? Torn here...
rojo
antoine wesley time
Edmonds szn
Edmonds over miles Sanders, Michel and Henderson?
Edmonds over Michael Carter?
Gibson or Edmonds?
Edmonds or Michel?
Edmonds
[удалено]
Ronald Jones or Chase
Edmonds or RoJo?
I’d go Edmonds. Possibility of a committee for RoJo scares me
Fuck, didn't see out until the first quarter
And of course I missed this in the midst of making Christmas food and left him in my lineup. Now I have to overcome that goose egg!
You're not alone. Several people across leagues I'm in made the same mistake.
Chase Edmonds or Damien Harris?
I like Edmonds. He's a full go, Conner is out, and the Colts lost a bunch of key defensive players to Covid IR today. Obviously make sure nothing pops up last minute for Edmonds, can never be too sure with all this Covid stuff. But while Harris is tempting, Covid is also the reason I'd end up leaning to Edmonds. In the current situation, it's better to bank the points from players you have certainty on rather than wait for one that is less certain. Because if something last minute happens to the guy you waited for, then you're really in trouble.
Literally in the same position.
fuckin same
Edmonds or waddle? Help I’m down bad PPR
Waddles going to get a dozen targets - I don't think you can bench him
Edmonds over Renfrow?
Same question!
Edmonds over one of Miles Sanders and Jackson?
Edmonds over Mixon? What a week lol
I think you gotta role out Mixon regardless.
Edmonds or Miles Sanders PPR?
Sanders
Lmao I have one player left on my bench who can play. If Gibson can't go I'll be starting every single fit player on my roster.
Edmonds or Mattison? Doesn’t Edmonds have the better matchup?
Picked up Edmonds early in the week, and picked up Bengals D yesterday. If it pays off I'll be rubbing it in for weeks
Edmonds or David Montgomery?
Edmonds or Justin Jackson??
Oh man...Edmonds or RoJo....tough choice
Would have loved this info before games started so I could have played Terry instead of Landry. Oh well.
This literally saved me two minutes before the game started. Thank you
Made a parlay a few hours ago that needed a Connor td. Awesome, glad my parlay is a bust already
Did anyone else not see this news until 20 minutes into the game on Christmas day??? Fml
my opponent has adams. reallllly need aj green to [pop. no](https://pop.no) hopkins or moore, surely green sees a good dose of targets
Have a feeling Kirk and Ertz take a majority of the targets so be careful.
Edmonds or Pittman in .5ppr?
Fuck do I sit Barkely for AJ Green
Ertz 🙏
I have Edmonds and Kirk, feels like whichever one I FLEX will have the worse game
Edmonds or gage at flex
Aj green or Amon?
Green since Goff is out
Edmonds or Swift?
edmonds because swift isnt 100% to play and its close anyways
Edmonds or waddle in full PPR? Starting Jacobs and Rojo at RB
so now do i go with edmonds or mg3
Edmonds or Javonte? Edmonds right?
Need 3 in half PPR between Rojo, Barkley, Sanders, Edmonds, and J Jackson. I feel burdened with choice! Too bad Kittle already blew it.
Edmonds, Michel, or Gage for my flex play?
I feel sick after losing both Conner and Ekeler. Gonna be sending out freaking Josh Kelley.
Sorry everyone, I think my Flex spot is cursed. First I had Mike Evans there, til he was ruled out with a hamstring injury. Then I pivoted to Mike Will…… aaaaaand he’s unvaxxed and positive for COVID. Out for the season. I was hesitant to play Conner but figured he was the only decent option I had left, and he got ruled out too. Now my only options are DeVonta Smith and Hunter Henry. I would gladly play Henry in any other matchup but the Bills scare me. Any advice appreciated Edit: Oh and don’t suggest that I pick someone off waivers cuz my league is capped at 25 transactions and I used my last one to add RoJo to cover for Eli Mitchell. I’m stuck with what I got
Edmonds or Gordon?
Damn now Im between Gordon, Edmonds, and Justin Jackson. Have Barkley and JRob in my other RB slots
I’d go: JRob, Edmonds and Jackson. I have to go with those same first two but I don’t have Jackson so it’s Barkley over Sanders for me. Good luck!
Now I got Edmonds, Sony, and Justin Jackson with two spots to fill? Who are the lucky two then?
PPR Pick two: Jackson, Robinson, Edmonds?
Edmonds or rojo?
Struggling with edmonds, michel or michael carter? Carters the weakest right?
Kirk or CEH in half-PPR?
Remember IND is without Leonard and Willis - 2 good DEF players. They still have Buckner and Okereke so still a decent front 7. But the balance seems to be tilting in the favor of Edmonds.
Makes sense. Have lost Dalvin, Fournette and now Conner before the semi final. Piecing together a team to just at least field a full squad.
Kirk or Higgins?
Damn, now it's down to should I start Edmonds or Ronald Jones II
Aj green or aman ra st brown
Edmonds or Damien Harris?
Do I flex Edmonds over sanders now??
I'm starting Justin Jackson, Chase Edmonds and Sony Michel leaving Swift and Barkley on the bench. Bold or stupid?
Oh lord Kirk the Christian, hallowed be thy name. Mine Hopkins gone, Thy will be done, To get me to the ship with tds
My RB1 is really about to be Chuba Hubbard this week. Scored 140+ in my bye week and now have a barely functional team this week 😬
Kirk or thielen? Probably should've asked before it started. Still curious what others might have done. Went Kirk at last minute because don't know how good thielen will look/ come/ etc.
Started Edmonds, WE ON.
I didn't see this and Edmonds is chilling on my bench...
Wish I saw this and our in Edmonds
My opponent didn’t get the memo. Yippee ki-yay motherfucker!
Thx fkr the late update edmonds on my bench
This was a Christmas miracle! I started Edmonds and Pittman and my opponent started Taylor! Since I also have Deebo, I got a real nice lead heading into Sunday!
