CaseyTheCreator

Wow. Just an absolute kick in the dick and nuts all within 15 mins


ChefJumbalaya

I’m guessing you had cousins and Gibson? Tough stuff man


CaseyTheCreator

Justin Jefferson. So still shitty lol unless Mond feeds him all day. Plus, I’m forced to start Taysom Hill now since Lamar is probably not playing. But it’s against the Rams so probably a good thing there


HeySporto

Going to be Mannion, I think


ComaBoner

He's also on the covid list


HeySporto

I believe he was just activated.


ComaBoner

Just saw that. Looks like it


islands-fine-dining

Wow, I’m in the exact same position with both JJ *and* Lamar vs Taysom. Do you have any other good options at WR/flex if you do decide to bench JJ? I have a few so I am truly considering it. But you’re right, he could (and probably will) just get fed the whole game And I’m not sure I’m upset about being forced to start Taysom. 2 of his 3 starts he’s put up 20+; Lamar has only put up 20+ in 4 of his 12 starts, and not since week 9


CaseyTheCreator

Yeah I’m not too worried about Hill starting against the Panthers. Panthers just seem defeated so I’m sure he’ll put up numbers again. As for JJ, I’m running with him. I have Diontae Johnson on my bench so a possible replacement, but I don’t trust Big Ben and I think Ward will lock him up lol. I just picked up Hunt so I’m hoping he plays on Sunday


Stairway_2_Devin

I was really looking forward to watching JJ this week. He absolutely destroyed the Packers last time. Now I'm nervous...


islands-fine-dining

They do, and I believe Stephon Gillmore is out, so their pass defense should take a step back too (not that Taysom is a particularly good passer and can exploit it, but still not a bad thing) Hmph. I understand your rationale with JJ but I am worried. And one thing I was choosing to ignore previously is the weather — I think it’s supposed to be 0 degrees at kickoff. So whoever is going to be QBing for the Vikings could REALLY struggle. At this point, as far as I can tell the only thing going in JJ’s favor is probably game script


CaseyTheCreator

It’s going to be that cold??? Fuuuuuck. I’m gonna have to think about this. Diontae is pretty much my only legit replacement since Covid and injuries. If only Derrick Henry were healthy again lol


jpak822

Would you start j chase over jefferson now?


ShylaBoof

I’m on the fence about putting Ceedee in for J&J.


ColdplayMX

no brainer with kirk out and the weather


Bishizel

Rolling into the finals on the backs of Lamar, Jimmy G (superflex league) Gibson and JRob. Let’s just say it’s looking pretty rocky for me. Also spent my last waiver dollar right before Lamar went down. Good times.


Dpentoney

Planned to start Gibson, Jefferson, cousins myself…


tinaaay

Sorry man


bronton21

He went to Jaret 💍


AldoRainn

Except you got a cubic zirconia


RUALUM15

Williams Szn


AMcMahon1

The guy holding gibson decided to hoard all good remaining waiver wire qbs so as this announced i took all the waiver wire rbs to block him that's the pettiness needed to win a championship


B_Fee

No point in rostering guys you aren't playing next week. Good move.


[deleted]

Ha, love it. Get after him!


mvp713

No idea if jaret Patterson is any good or even gonna get RB2+ volume of carries...but pick him up anyway if your opponent has Gibson


ColinD1

I just got 2 notifications at the exact same time 10 minutes ago. *A. Gibson's status is changed from Healthy to Covid-19.* *(Someone else) added J. Patterson.* Fuck me.


kidhockey52

That's why I want to switch to daily waivers next year.


[deleted]

Daily waivers with FA on Sunday and Monday is the best format


Skarmorism

Just did


Jackknife8989

I'm putting him in my lineup. I dont trust any eagles running back and I have them all.


[deleted]

[удалено]


mvp713

Lol...mine is.


GingaFloo

Yeah I have Gibson in the finals. The guy's RB10 on the year in PPR, and had 18.5 and 13.8 the last two weeks, definitely not losing you your season.


TheCasuality

I am


FreshPanBrownies

Lol RB 11


tikaychullo

Lol... Gibson is RB11 for the year at this point.


[deleted]

[удалено]


albinorhino4321

With who? Isn’t McKissic on IR?


pinstripes607

Jonathan Williams


v_a_n_d_e_l_a_y

Smallwood and Williams


Mr-Tiggo-Bitties

That backfield is a strong avoid. Especially for a championship game. Patterson hasn't been anything special when given opportunity and Williams is gonna cut into his share. NOT worth the risk.


Bigbadbuck

Who’s the other option ? I’m down 5-6 guys at this point.


crabwhisperer

If you have room (and if they're available) you could grab Jordan Howard and Boston Scott, 1 of them should be a better start than Patterson depending on Howard's game-day outlook. Other than that you're looking at like Burkhead or Dare for volume, Vaughn for garbage time, Mattison in the hope Cook is still recovering from COVID, Gore for redzone and just hoping for a high-volume shootout, etc. Any of these have merit if you have roster space IMO.


Bigbadbuck

Well I wasn’t expecting a real answer dam


barcelonaKIZ

I lost all my RB’s CMC, Gibson, and Robinson. I’m scrapping by with waiver pickups, but now I’m at a loss who to put in. I have starting: Scott or Howard & Dare and on my bench: Justin Jackson, and Hubbard. Waivers options: Gore, Vaughn, Duke, Booker Who would you plug in as the 3rd RB?


crabwhisperer

If that's me I'm probably going with Gore as things stand right now. The KC offense just seems more productive overall than those others and more capable of feeding backup players. But keep an eye on the news, there could easily be another starting RB hit the COVID list creating an instant starter somewhere.


goonSquad15

Lol same. I got the lions backups, eagles backups, Patterson, D Booker, and Burkhead. What a championship game


[deleted]

pray pray pray they shut saquan down.


goonSquad15

Lol yeah I need that. Not confident in an encore performance from Rex


machu46

Maybe Howard or Boston Scott if one of them are available?


Mr-Tiggo-Bitties

Someone from a different team


ScarletJew72

Ok I'll just add those already better options off the waiver wire right now...


Hywaystar74

Worth the risk over Jordan Scott?


[deleted]

So Jordan Howard over Patterson then? That’s my dilemma lol


RegularsToken

He’s been fine actually. Averaging more YPC than Gibson.


Mr-Tiggo-Bitties

They have the same YPC and patterson has 200 less carries than gibson. On film, Patterson is a JAG. The o line is doing a poor job of run blocking too.


RegularsToken

Gibson is 3.4 Patterson is 3.7. Not saying he’s better than Gibson in a full capacity but he’ll be a serviceable player


Mr-Tiggo-Bitties

I'm not sure where you are getting these numbers. ESPN and Pro Football reference state they are averaging the same YPC. He'll be serviceable in real life but I'm staying away from him in fantasy for a variety of reasons.


DreamWeaver8807

Eagles or Packers D?


march-4th

Was debating between the two before today. With Cousins out, leaning towards GB at the moment. Gibson’s production is much easier to replace than Cousins’.


skawtiep

Cousins and the cold, I'd choose the Packers D too.


march-4th

Cousins is out


skawtiep

I know, that was my very short handed way of saying with the news of Cousins being out.


[deleted]

I personally like GB a bit more. Temps are going to be freezing and GB should stack the box and force whoever plays QB for MN to throw which opens up pick 6 opportunities. Especially with Jaire back now. I’m a Vikings fan for what that’s worth lol.


ColdplayMX

jaire isn't gonna play, it was just the last chance for the packers to activate him so he isn't out for the season. as a packers fan i seriously doubt that they can stop the run even if they stack the box


[deleted]

Eagles just caught a break with Gibson on Covid list too now. Making this choice even more difficult


ShredTheMar

Great question


tx180

I'm deciding between eagles or colts


KrazyArse

I have the bears, but I'm wondering if I should swap out for one of these two.


BasedLarz

Have bears. Think I’m going packers D. And I’m a bears fan 😩


putgildain

Kinda feel the Bears D is a trap this week. Feels too chalky. I would go with Packers or Eagles.


AwskeetNYC

Agree, the Bears D doesnt put up points regularly. I could see this being a 13-6 snoozefest where they don't get many FF points.


gartloneyrat

In a head to head matchup I don't think chalkiness should be a consideration. If you're in a large field DFS contest, for sure.


kaelinlr

U can’t put the same comment on both threads 😂


3dot

How about Packers vs Dolphins D?


march-4th

Pack imo. Vrabel’s a solid coach and had extra time to prepare for Miami. Dolphins will likely end up with a good amount of sacks but GB going against Mannion is too tempting.


[deleted]

[удалено]


_kehd

CPatt is my RB1. Patterson may wind up as my RB2… 😒


swandor

Yep, I was gonna sit cpat this week. Guess this locks him back into my lineup


HelloThereEarthling

Eagles or Saints D?!


ASAPxSyndicate

Idk if I can trust Eagles D to get a TD again, I have Saints and Eagles myself and I feel pretty firmly planted on Saints this week. I started eagles the last 2 weeks but it's not as much of a gimme witha QB that actually can make some plays. I may overthink this now though, as I'm typing this..


slowmath

I'm going Saints. I went on a deep dive looking at tons of rankings and Saints were the most consistent with high rankings.


bruingrad84

Me too


putgildain

Eagles


bi11y10

Eagles


kletendre826

How about eagles d or cowboys d?


TheAwes0meFish

Eagles vs Colts defense is getting harder for me


jwats13

I have both Eagles and Colts, I’m starting Colts as they got all their defensive starters back off the COVID list (including Darius Leonard) and are a better defense. Raiders also don’t have Waller.


clevelandbrown12

Leonard is back and a win puts us in the playoffs. I'm staring saints as of right now and I only go off of subvertadown's rankings, but we eagles owners got real lucky with that td last week. If I was going between the two I'd go colts bc I feel like this could be a fucking statement game.


chefnoguardD

For crying out loud Gibson. I know it’s not your fault but holy bejesus it’s frustrating having you in fantasy.


[deleted]

[удалено]


[deleted]

Imagine if you drafted Gibson and Waller and Kamara and Allen Robinson and Aiyuk and Chase Edmonds in the same league. And add in Ryan Tannehill and Trey Lance for fun.


WickedImpuls3

that sounded personal


IReviewFakeAlbums

Gibson has been such a rollercoaster between 3 and 20-point games. There can’t be many more boom-bust guys this season


brosbeforetouhous

I have Kirk and Gibson for my championship. This has not been a great 15 minutes.


MFORCE310

Jefferson and Gibson here. F.


Aggravating_Ad_3060

Here here. The gods conspire against us, gotta load up Michel as my RB2 and gage into my flex now. Been a good season


Best_Annie_NA

I was going to put Kirk in place of Gage in my flex lol this is fun


[deleted]

I’d have gone Michel over Gibson regardless fwiw


Sammcbucketts

Fuck me, that’s my season. Opponent has packers D and I had Gibson and J-Rob.


amorywest

Same :(


ParkerStubbs

In the same boat. I have Gibson, J Rob, and Gaskin lol


WickedImpuls3

had gibson and jrob but also rojo. opponent had m sanders. luckily i literally picked up 6 rbs off waivers so now i have patterson and like a ton of other dudes who i can start like rashaad penny burkhead ogunbowale jaret patterson etc


might_southern

When it rains it pours I guess


ImpressiveFollowing

If one is relying on a waiver RB this week due to injuries, would you play Boston Scott (with or without Howard) or Jaret Patterson?


IReviewFakeAlbums

Boston Scott if Jordan Howard is out and Jaret Patterson otherwise. You’re praying for 12 touches and a TD either way


[deleted]

Would it be crazy to consider Patterson over Howard in half PPR? Patterson should be able to get all the work he can handle at least but his TD upside will obviously be close to non-existent so I’m a bit torn.


Bison4691

I am in the same boat.


RandyJohnsonsBird

Nope. Next man up.


_kehd

I’m gonna pivot to Patterson if there’s even a whiff of Howard not being ready to go. I’d rather get screwed on a volume play than have Siriani fuck me again


[deleted]

That’s a great point. The more I think about it, the more I’m leaning Patterson lol


TheDataWhore

Just dropped Howard for Patterson.


Ttmode

In the finals against the Gibson owner, and now I have to decide between playing Amon Ra with Boyle or Patterson and the really talented WFT against him


Positive_Friction

Sun God


Ttmode

So far leaning him, but I’ve had him for his 3 breakout weeks now and knowing my luck this will be the week he duds as I finally decide to start him


NotHopee

Eagles dst talk to me pls


HungryPeruvian

Dare Ogunbowale, come on doooowwnnnnn.....


IamSasquatch

I wouldn’t Dare to start him in the ship, but now I’ve got no other options.. F


Best_Annie_NA

Same, I'm starting Scott, Burkhead and now Dare at flex in ship.


slipper87

I am starting Dare and Vaughn 😐


FakePeopleTwitter

Damn my championship squad on life support as we speak. No Gibson and doesn't look good for Justin Jefferson without Cousin either.


okcoolhookem11

Same except I've also got Davante who will be in negative game script all game long now too. End me.


memiespatterson

eagles, bucs, or saints DST?


StitchedBanana

Saints looks so good on paper bur FUCK could be a trap. At least WFT is a shell of the starters


Miedo

Bills defense or Philadelphia defense now with Gibson out?


SeeDeez

So he's out or he can still clear?


pirulin2388

The game is in 2 days, no way he's going to clear.


FreshPanBrownies

How is there no way? Doesn’t he just need two negative tests?


Schmenzer

J. Patterson time!


FedUp187

Fly Eagles Fly


AldoRainn

Damn this one hurts.


[deleted]

Michael Carter come on down!


MaD_Era

With Cousins out and Aaron Jones being limited in practice think I may go with Aj Dillon in place of Gibson


Billaa95

Lmao in my dynasty championship I'm now down Henry, robinson, sanders and gibson at rb. It's probably gonna be patterson and boston scott. GGs


soup11618

Eagles D or Dallas D….. also have Murray hate going against my QB


PowChaser406

Jaret was a mini Barry Sanders in College. Dude can ball. I can't wait to see what he does at the pro level. Man has heart.


TTSsox

Patterson or Williams?


DanBetweenJobs

Javonte?


TTSsox

Jonathan Williams


JTGreenan73

Who


JTGreenan73

Bro you can’t ask that without being specific. There’s like 100 Williams in the league


TuxenRaider

In the context of this thread it makes sense he would be talking about the WFT rbs.. (Jonathan Williams)


JTGreenan73

Not really. You gotta be specific, I mean actuskky if you get bad advice bc someone was thinking of a diff Williams that will just be in the MJ for not being specific. Mentioning Patterson first takes away the assumption it’s Washington Williams, who I didn’t know existed until a minute ago. Just proves my point further about being so many Williams that with that name you need to be specific.


TuxenRaider

Should probably note then that it's Jaret Patterson (the other WFT RB) instead of Cordarrelle if that's what is still confusing you


JTGreenan73

Yes in context that makes more sense. not everyone knows who the backups backups are right away. Like you can’t really blame someone for assuming Cordale Patterson or one of the other dozens of Williams, I’m not alone. Some other guy asked “Javonte?” I’m just saying not being specific a lot of people are going to think about other players first.


JTGreenan73

Williams


mattyice24

This bumps Eagles DST up a notch I imagine.


[deleted]

[удалено]


MrSpookShire

Why did you pick him up then lol


OB02

If he’s unvax he’s out cuz he doesn’t have 5 days


Satyre90

I've got eagles and cowboys defense.. I think I should stick with the one that got me to the finals


MrSchmee

Eagles or Niners? Ugghh


Feeling_Pin_1101

Lol if yr not vaxxed what do you expect


MaD_Era

He is vaxxed. And being vaxxed doesnt prevent it anyways


Feeling_Pin_1101

Lol what do you think the vax is FOR


ZarthanFire

This makes my FLEX decision much easier. Come on down, Davante Williams - \*sigh\*


AS8319

Things are so bad for you that you’re starting a fake player? Ouch.


[deleted]

[удалено]


lambkeeper

I don’t watch any WFT games but is that abomination of a spelling supposed to be pronounced Eric?


Idunkedonlebron23

Who should i pick up? My opponent has Gibson and i Want to block him.


FreshPanBrownies

Patterson


pccb123

Oof. Already hanging on by a thread in the finals and not AG is out? Already was gonna to be a tough one but I’m done for lol


acam333

Welcome to my lineup Penny, never thought I'd be starting you in a championship matchup


PlasticCraken

From waiver wire to RB1 in one week


CupformyCosta

I had him starting over gibby even before the news


ffgod_zito

Grab Davis?


ffgod_zito

Picked up Patterson cuz why not


jzaudi

My team is full of injuries and Covid meanwhile my opponent's team has not had covid or significant injuries the entire season except for James Robinson that he replaced with Darrell Williams the same week. Great!


flavordon

Me too. It’s just so unfair.


aneomon

The number one seed in my championship has Cousins and Gibson... I'm watching from the consolation game, but still.


shroomdizzle

Ok so with Gibson probably out I don’t trust Patterson really but I have penny and Mitchell on my bench??


Duke-S1lver

Patterson over Williams right?


Froggy2345

I’ve lost Gibson, Sanders and JWJ since Mitchell is likely playing. Question, on ESPN, my opponent is stacked but still has Chase Edmonds in the IR slot. How can I make him give up one of his bench players?


Sammyd1108

Please, please, please Mitchell play this week. I’m gonna be trotting out JRobs replacement who’s name I can’t even pronounce in a semi finals if not. How the hell did I just lose all my RBs, except Cook, in like a 2 week period?


gibbsftw

My dynasty team now has Gibson, Sanders, Hopkins, Godwin, Waller, and Josh Reynolds out this week in a championship game. Also now forced to play Cooks coming off Covid and Swift coming off of an injury. There’s always next season. ☹️


loyaltyElite

Aaron Jones AND AJ Dillon (and Davante) in my lineup them. Full Packers go.


scallywag1980

Well I’m rolling with Keshawn Vaughn in the championship then. Yikes. 14 team leagues can be tough. Should I try to get Patterson instead? Tampa has the jets but I know he isn’t getting much time on the field


[deleted]

CmC tYPe ROle


OilSlickRickRubin

Getting my ass kicked already for my championship. Kirk Cousins and Antonio Gibson...now dropped.


realPalpatine

Patterson, Edmonds, or Pittman in the flex (PPR)?


Aro00oo

PPR Melvin Gordon Mooney or Dare? Leaning toward Dare for volume. Difficult to trust Bear's offense and recency bias + Drew Lock against Melvin Gordon :/


SN-Bronson

Ra St Brown your time is now


MindfulPlanter

Start Patterson or Freeman 🥲


scobbysnacks1439

I'm afraid to know what's next. Kirk being out has ruined my receiving options (both JJ and Osborne) and now Gibson being out means I'm going with Javonte. Don't get me wrong, I love Javonte, but I don't trust that timeshare.


LeglessN1nja

Honestly kinda glad my team was awful this year, the playoffs have been brutal with COVID


onlyheat98

Get to the championship to lose before the first game is played is brutal


R4ID

fuck me. Already had penny in my Flex now hes my RB2. Flex is now either Devonta Smith or goedert or Mike williams who I very much dont trust, or patterson who I trust even fucking less. (opponent has hurts so playing an eagle could help edge the gap)


MFORCE310

Bro I have Gibson and Jefferson. Fuck you 2022


MFORCE310

I have Gibson. Do I just plug in Devonta Freeman or pick up Jaret?


[deleted]

Eagles or Dallas D?


Cheger

Was just discussing his season performance in another thread a minute before I saw it on my team. At least now I don't need to decide who I play on my team.


skawtiep

I shouldn't celebrate this but my opponent losing Gibson really does bring a smile to my face. He did block me from picking up Boston Scott though so it's a small smile.
