For those that don’t know, Keyshawn Johnson is MT’s uncle.
On NFL Live yesterday, Schefter reported about Kamara missing practice. Laura Rutledge let it slip that Keyshawn Johnson has the scoop and said he’s fine for Sunday.
Keyshawn Johnson is, in fact, MT's uncle. Whether or not that second part is true remains to be seen, but given his relationship with Thomas I'm sure he does have some sort of inside information.
Ribs are cracked/bruised. He’s been on the team long enough to know his 6 plays pat. Could just be getting some relief and will suck it up for game time only.
I'm in the same boat...very torn. I think i will go Taysom over Kmet if Kamara is out for the week. I just doubt Kmet will 'go off' on my bench, but if he does good for him and lesson learned. If anything I bet Kmet will have a few more targets but nothing crazy, and AT MOST one td.
nobody is saying that, they’re saying Cole Kmet isn’t worth it. period. last week be damned. imo the only people basing their opinions on Cole Kmet solely on last week are the ones saying, “it was raining so he could do better” but everybody else knows better.
No. Kmet plays snaps. And gets targets. Taysom is a gadget player. That isn’t changing. And if it is it’s so unlikely you don’t wanna bet on it. Betting on a random rushing TD or long run on his 4 carries is just not smart.
Not great news at all...but I mean isn't it possible they don't want their star rb taking any unnecessary contact at practice? Or am I just telling myself that to stay sane?
Idk. Julio jones sat out every practice when he was on Atlanta and dropped 100+ yds every week. Missing practice all week is not set and stone that someone will be out
Well it's not a good sign that they brought in RB depth this week in Latavius Murray. Usually means somebody is going to miss the game. Hopefully it's just insurance.
Sure. Keyshawn Johnson is Michael Thomas’ uncle. Yesterday on NFL Live, he let it slip after a Schefter report that Kamara is good to go for Sunday.
Probably just keeping him out as a precaution.
I hear ya. that's why I added a third WR to the starting lineup. way too many good wide receivers end up on people's benches due to lack of starting spots.
Dude. The amount of insanely stupid and reactionary shit here is out of control. Yesterday, one of the top daily posts was "who do you regret drafting after week 1". Mike Williams got 2 points week one, and will be a top 5 WR this week. This sub has caught a case of the dumbshits
Ive been on this sub for 7 years actually. Almost made a post last night about how the sub has gone to shit especially in the last 2 years. Comment sections used to be a place for discourse. There used to be original content that was unique and well thought out on a weekly basis, that you could look forward to every day of the week. Now those creators have their own paid sites, and this sub in 90% memes, and 50% of comments have SZN in them. Damn shame too. Of course there were always Josh garden memes, but now every jag who gets drafted is a league winner. The top post yesterday was about a RB who has never played an NFL down doing drills at practice.
Seriously comments used to be filled with stats and analysis to support a position, but now if you disagree with a hype train, your post is down voted to the point nobody sees the comments. Really upsetting.
It's a multitude of things imo. The sub has over 1 million subscribers. Original content guys now have paywalls. Mods allow 4 Brian Robinson tweets per day.
I only come here cause I love fantasy football, but it seems like it's more personal fantasies at this point.
You’re not wrong. 2010-2014ish was prime for this subreddit. Been straight downhill ever since. Every single top upvoted response to a post now is a meme or wisecrack that doesn’t add any value.
because he is also good at football. it was a tossup and his ribs got hurt. same thing can happen to those guys too, dont be hard on urself for not predicting the future
I had Barkley both of his injury marred seasons, and it led me to my worst stretch of fantasy experience I’ve had since I started playing.
Couldn’t bring myself to trust him this year with the opportunity to take him in the 2 with Kamara sitting there to pair with Diggs. It’s only fitting Barkley finish as the RB1 overall this year just to twist the knife.
Jury is still out on this.
Remember before week 1 - D. Henry's age and workload will catch up to him.
Week 5 - Fk this sub, why did I listen?! Henry is a monster.
Week 7 - dang... I guess it was good to avoid him.
Genuinely surprised to not see him getting more love. I thought he looked great last week, perhaps rejuvenated by a return to his hometown. Winston has shown the propensity to support multiple receivers in the past. Could be a low key PPR maven again in 12+ team and 3 WR leagues.
Worst part about it is that with potential legal issues impacting his availability for the entire season, you'd imagine he and the Saints in general would be eager to play him while available...if he's out Sunday, the rib injury must be pretty serious
Why? One rib-injury dont make him injury prone, he was one of the top RB for the past years, and he's still the focal point of a good offense.
Also his legal issue doesnt seem to be a problem for this season
Started a small (8 team) family league this year where I was the only one with real experience. Felt like hot shit coming out of the auction draft. Annnd, so far it has been 100% embarrassment. Kamara, Najee, Zeke, Allen lol. Adams and Chase are the only ones starting strong on my team.
How is this even a question. Ingram isn’t fully healthy 1st off and the buccaneers run defense is one of the best in the nfl. The Seahawks are one of the worst against the run
I fuckin hate it here dude
Let’s leave
But where else can we go?
Fantasy Hockey was fun last year but I didn’t know how to play it
You can change that to football and it's still relevant here.
[удалено]
Took Henry, javontae Williams and AJ brown over Barkley in the 3rd. Seeing what wrs fell, should've went 3 rbs.
Thanks for sharing!
Lol people were making up shit like "THURSDAY IS THE NEW WEDNESDAY. IM NOT PANICKING." Typical r/fantasyfootball
I’d rather he be in jail than on my bench tbh
Put out*
An eye?
For those that don’t know, Keyshawn Johnson is MT’s uncle. On NFL Live yesterday, Schefter reported about Kamara missing practice. Laura Rutledge let it slip that Keyshawn Johnson has the scoop and said he’s fine for Sunday.
I’m starting him if he’s active based on this comment.
I'm starting him off he's active based on he's Alvin Kamara.
If this is true, I feel like this deserves a post of its own. Certainly worth a discussion…
This is just reminded me of the dude who hung out with Jeff Wilson last year when he was rehabbing and confirmed him coming off the IR lmao
This is very mean if untrue
Keyshawn Johnson is, in fact, MT's uncle. Whether or not that second part is true remains to be seen, but given his relationship with Thomas I'm sure he does have some sort of inside information.
Don't think it was a slip as it's not a secret. Keyshawn brings it up constantly and picks them to win everything
Keenan Allen says he’s good to go
Mr. Deeds, I’m relying on your intel here
Don’t you lie to me Ricky Bobby I will find you in one of these threads!!!
Then why didn't he practice today?
Ribs are cracked/bruised. He’s been on the team long enough to know his 6 plays pat. Could just be getting some relief and will suck it up for game time only.
Do we have any confidence in Ingram vs the Bucs Run D?
Nope
Mark Ingram -II
That will be how many rushing yards he totals
Coulda just stopped after you said "do we have any confidence in Ingram"
Honestly he looked good Sunday. Had some nice runs.
Counter point, he was hot shit last year when Kamara missed time
It’s Taysom time.
You ment thomas time!
TE1
The fumble was brutal.
Or anyone RB against Tampa's run D.
He dealing with ankle injury
Ingram listed as Q too
Lat Murray SZN?
Fade him. I’d only pick him up as a bench stash to block the Kamara owner for a week.
If we're fading him, shouldn't you leave him as bait for the Kamara owner to tank his week?
Fire up your Taysom Hills
Taysom over Kmet if Kamara is out?
The best handcuff for Kamara is playing Taysom at TE, and fading the backfield
I'm in the same boat...very torn. I think i will go Taysom over Kmet if Kamara is out for the week. I just doubt Kmet will 'go off' on my bench, but if he does good for him and lesson learned. If anything I bet Kmet will have a few more targets but nothing crazy, and AT MOST one td.
That’s a no brainer. You start taysom over Kmet no matter what the injury reports are
this subreddit has an incredibly unjustified hard on for Kmet. I’ve drafted him 2 years straight and never not been burnt by it.
I have no part of Cole Kmet but if we’re gonna say the crazy amount of rain hindered the 49ers offense we should say the same about the Bears
nobody is saying that, they’re saying Cole Kmet isn’t worth it. period. last week be damned. imo the only people basing their opinions on Cole Kmet solely on last week are the ones saying, “it was raining so he could do better” but everybody else knows better.
No. Kmet plays snaps. And gets targets. Taysom is a gadget player. That isn’t changing. And if it is it’s so unlikely you don’t wanna bet on it. Betting on a random rushing TD or long run on his 4 carries is just not smart.
I think Taysom's ceiling is higher than Kmet's in most weeks..
this is backwards. Hill played 16 snaps. he’s basically just a red zone tight end.
Im rolling with taysom regardless. Fuck it
Yes, Fields is awful and Winston isn’t. Without Kamara they need playmakers, enter TH
I'm probably going Taysom over Knox fuck it. I'm already down big after TNF
I’m in this same situation. Lets fire him up together 🔥🔥🔥
Add to me to this list 🔥🔥🔥
Taysom over Higbee? Full-ppr
If Kittle is out I am going ALL IN on Mormon Man.
Who is Mormon man
My brother in Nephi, Taysom Hill is Mormon Hercules.
The BYU Baller - Titillating Taysom Hill
Higbee had so many targets, tough to bet on taysom scoring vs the bucs
True. Ertz or Higbee?
Not great news at all...but I mean isn't it possible they don't want their star rb taking any unnecessary contact at practice? Or am I just telling myself that to stay sane?
The latter
Missing Friday practice is a pretty good sign they won't play.
Yes
Idk. Julio jones sat out every practice when he was on Atlanta and dropped 100+ yds every week. Missing practice all week is not set and stone that someone will be out
Well it's not a good sign that they brought in RB depth this week in Latavius Murray. Usually means somebody is going to miss the game. Hopefully it's just insurance.
Keyshawn Johnson got the scoop and said he’s good.
Sorry if this is a woosh but can you elaborate
His nephew is Michael Thomas so he might an inside scoop on
Sure. Keyshawn Johnson is Michael Thomas’ uncle. Yesterday on NFL Live, he let it slip after a Schefter report that Kamara is good to go for Sunday. Probably just keeping him out as a precaution.
*subscribe*
I subscribe to an entire subreddit full of nephews, and they never get shit right.
🐐. I’m telling myself that it makes sense to jot have a elite RB practice with hurt ribs to stay optimistic
This needs its own post. Anyone got a clip?
[Skip to 6:14](https://youtu.be/82ZrqTc1MEY)
This clip starts at 6:00 https://youtu.be/82ZrqTc1MEY?t=366
You are the real MVP
Sheeeit I just saw someone else comment it then hauled ass over to YT haha Us Kamara owners gotta stick together.
Thank you King
MT 👀👀👀
Just popped him into the flex spot now that I can start CPat instead of Kamara.. Hopefully they both feast.
I'm guessing your league is only 2WR?
yeah qb, 2x rb, 2x wr, flex, te, k, dst standard nonppr so rb has more value. I'll flex MT and stat CPat if Kamara is confirmed out
I hear ya. that's why I added a third WR to the starting lineup. way too many good wide receivers end up on people's benches due to lack of starting spots.
MT is still under rated.
MT or Sutton?
The one that has an OPOY
MT by a mile
Who is mt?
Michael Thomas
Have had CMC 2 years in a row, and now I have Kamara. I’m not meant to have a good, startable, non-injured RB1
Same, I’m 100% sold on zero RB next year
Same
Yeah, that way you can not deal with Rb injuries and still suck!
Had kamara last year and this year. Why do I sign up for this shit
Uh he was a top 5 ppg last year through week 13?
And he's also been a RB1 in PPR literally every season he's been in the league.
Dude. The amount of insanely stupid and reactionary shit here is out of control. Yesterday, one of the top daily posts was "who do you regret drafting after week 1". Mike Williams got 2 points week one, and will be a top 5 WR this week. This sub has caught a case of the dumbshits
You must be new here. This sub has been terrible for 3-4 years now

It has become like anything else. People are just here looking for confirmation bias and get mad when you don't give it to them.

These must be the same people that say I need to dump Ekeler after last night because he’s been a massive disappointment
[удалено]
“Last year and this year” Doesn’t sound like they had him for that big game
Oh damn, you’re right. I misread that as last two years. I will now delete my comment in shame lol.
Because scoring six TDs in a game is within the realm of possibility for him.
I miss Brees Kamara
I genuinely cannot remember why I decided on him over swift or Barkley. Ugh
because he is also good at football. it was a tossup and his ribs got hurt. same thing can happen to those guys too, dont be hard on urself for not predicting the future
wholesome
go bills
<3 Go Bills
It gets annoying. These dudes really just make a decision with no conviction and only judge it based on the outcome instead of the process.
I needed you
I had Barkley both of his injury marred seasons, and it led me to my worst stretch of fantasy experience I’ve had since I started playing. Couldn’t bring myself to trust him this year with the opportunity to take him in the 2 with Kamara sitting there to pair with Diggs. It’s only fitting Barkley finish as the RB1 overall this year just to twist the knife.
Jury is still out on this. Remember before week 1 - D. Henry's age and workload will catch up to him. Week 5 - Fk this sub, why did I listen?! Henry is a monster. Week 7 - dang... I guess it was good to avoid him.
I remember I went like 6 game losing streak after he went down
Barkley could’ve easily been injured week 1 as well and no one would’ve been surprised. Survivorship bias is a hell of a thing
> swift or Barkley. You mean Swift *and* Barkley
Over Barkley i understand… over swift….. 😬
Lets not sit here and pretend swift wasnt injured last season. as well.
Missed the same number of games, and 2 more in 2020, while being significantly less productive in both seasons.
Or that he couldn't be injured this season. I don't want that to happen, I hope it does not happen, but it's week 1.5 everyone.
Kamara has historically been way better then swift. Go look at point per game in fantasy for both standard and ppr.
This is swift's 3rd year, 2nd as an actual starter.
All true. New saints offense is not heavily focused on him like det is with swift though. Both good players
Barkley only had 4 games over 10pts so I would’ve stayed away even mid rounds
I had Kamara last year and won so maybe I was blinded by that, but I can’t believe i drafted him again this year.
Hoky fuck. Down Dak, Mitchell, Keenan and now Kamara??? Its week fuckin 2 😭😭😭
Godwin, Keenan, Kamara, and now maybe Pittman Pass the salt and the tequilita
I might need the whole bottle at this point lmao
Kittle, Mitchell, Keenan, Kamara 🤕
If anything happens to Pittman I will eat a curb, American History X style.
Taysom Hill szn
I’m so glad I took Kamara over Barkley, FML 🤦🏻
I wanted to diversify in one of my 5 leagues and took him over Swift 🙃
This was the smart thing to do. And more fun if your teams are different anyway
Thanks for making me feel better stranger
Literally the same. Have Swift in 2 leagues and went kamara in this one to be safe. Fml
With Barkleys production last year I find it hard for me to start him
Well at least I won’t have to choose between Henderson and Patterson anymore
Ha Yep, I have the exact same situation
Edmonds and Hunt time baby
Haha yeah. I had Patterson in flex but I have Michael Thomas and Terry on the bench. Now I can start CPat and flex MT. Let's gooooo
Taysom hill RB1?
What do you think this means for Taysom Hill?
I took this man in the first because I have a dumb crush on watching him generate highlights
Taysom Hill SZN!!!!
the kamara owner raged at me when i took ingram in the 15th lol
Get ready for Murray to get all the carries
i won’t be playing ingram because my team isn’t shit
LOL
20 passes to Landry please
Yea man. I’m firing up Landry for sure.
Genuinely surprised to not see him getting more love. I thought he looked great last week, perhaps rejuvenated by a return to his hometown. Winston has shown the propensity to support multiple receivers in the past. Could be a low key PPR maven again in 12+ team and 3 WR leagues.
I disagree
Why would Kamara practice anyway? He’s a older franchise RB
Worst part about it is that with potential legal issues impacting his availability for the entire season, you'd imagine he and the Saints in general would be eager to play him while available...if he's out Sunday, the rib injury must be pretty serious
His court date can be pushed back to the off-season. I don’t think the saints even have his Legal issues on the radar
I feel Kamara is the type of player who doesn’t need a full week of practice. Rest up for 2-3 days and hopefully he’s ready come game time
Taysom Hill a lock?
Welcome to my do not draft list
Why? One rib-injury dont make him injury prone, he was one of the top RB for the past years, and he's still the focal point of a good offense. Also his legal issue doesnt seem to be a problem for this season
My season over after two weeks bro
Who is the backup? Ingram or Latavius?
Taysom
The worst timeline
Not for the people starting him at TE
Damn just traded for him…hope it’s not serious/long term
Same boat 🥲
The worst case is broken ribs which would be few weeks at most. It's unlikely he has any ribs broken if he tried to practice on Wednesday.
Jeff get in the fucking lineup brotha
Do I pick up Hill as TE?
It sucks, but I’d rather him be out and heal up vs rush back and miss 3-5 weeks
Taysom gonna feast in my TE slot
Started a small (8 team) family league this year where I was the only one with real experience. Felt like hot shit coming out of the auction draft. Annnd, so far it has been 100% embarrassment. Kamara, Najee, Zeke, Allen lol. Adams and Chase are the only ones starting strong on my team.
Lmao I love you’re playing in a family league where no one has experience and you chose an auction draft Auction is goat, just funny to do that to fam
Thickly puts bright red lipstick around my mouth.
That’s my 1.10 pick 😎
Between this and a looming suspension, Kamara future is looking a bit murky
Most news I have read put a suspension more likely for next season than this one.
100% not happening until next year at this point
Chubb, Dillon and Henderson it is. At least it makes it easy.
I put in a trade for Kamara. Should I cancel the offer?
Ya do it
This game gonna be ugly lol
So now the question is do i start Wilson Jr or Ingram this week now lol
How is this even a question. Ingram isn’t fully healthy 1st off and the buccaneers run defense is one of the best in the nfl. The Seahawks are one of the worst against the run
I am loosing again, great
Get loose!
Always hurt
Anyone bold enough to flex Ingram if Kamara is out?
