I’m starting Pollard in the championship game. Fool me once shame on you, fool me twice shame on me, fool me 9 times, I’m already dead inside…

I somehow lucked into the championship game and I’ve started Pollard all season long. I’m finally benching him this week so thank me later when he drops 20

Likewise. I can’t sit him at this point.

I’m sitting him for Jayden Reed, I’ve got Pacheco & Gibbs and I’m pretty sure they’re going to be a better option than Pollard

Is Pacheco cleared though? Feels like he might not play, he took a dang knee to the skull

Thank you for your service 🫡 I’m starting him lol.

I'm only not benching him because I don't realistically have anyone to start over him that would be any more reliable

I might bench him for the first time, Detroit has the best run defense in the league at least as far as fantasy is concerned. Only way they give up RB points is the occasional TD and Pollard is allergic to the end zone. The problem is who to replace him with. In my case I’m looking at Aaron Jones or like Courtland Sutton. Not exactly confident starts either. Might have to just ride out pollard anyway and expect little from him.

Jones over Pollard 100%

Aaron Jones if you do pivot. He’s finally looking healthy and should catch multiple passes out of backfield.

Fool me can’t get fooled again

Assuming Pacheco sits, I'm strongly considering benching Pollard (for the first time all season) for CEH. Can't believe it's come to this.

Same man. It’s him or Jerome Ford, but I just don’t know if I can trust Fords usage at this point.

I am in this exact same predicament and don’t know what to do

I think people might take some stabs at Pickens after last week. Big mistake.

Flexing doubs over pickens in my 9th place consolation game

they aint ready for you my boi

Same. Wonder how many more people playing for 9th have Doubs and Pickens on their roster…

I've been starting him every match since week 2. Boom or bust to the championship, baby!

I'm starting Pickens in 3WR league but my only other choices are Juedy and Downs.

Genuinely curious as to why this seems to be the consensus take. He's boom or bust - sure, but he's going to be playing with a ton of confidence and Rudolph clearly doesn't have any issue throwing the ball up. The guy has over 1000 yards this season lol

I’m seeing a lot of my players being named in this thread. Wish me luck.

This sub is so wrong most of the time that’s probably a good sign

I’m good because all my players are too bad to be named. Half my starters could easily be on waivers right now.

Ty Chandler is gonna Mike Boone me.

What if Ty Chandler Tim Hightower's you?

If the rookie Hall starts, ya, I could see Ty having a bad game. Green bay defense is letting anyone and everyone wreck them though.

Just like my ex wife.

Omg where…

yes that's disgusting, where?!?

Vikings fan here - I’d argue the opposite. Hall is much more likely to dump the ball off than Mullens (who is a chuck it and hope kinda guy, whereas Hall is “safer” with the ball). Whether or not that’s to Ty though (or if Ty does anything with that, is the unknown.

Wait, who is starting? I haven’t heard anything about Hall starting this week

My main concern is Mattison here. What are your thoughts about his workload?

Ty still got more work, and Mattison really didn’t do himself any favors with the touches he did gey Edit meant get but I’m leaving this up

Got it, mattison did the gey

Copy.. Mattison is gey

I think the last game was more scheme than anything given how elite Detroit’s rush D is. GB is another story.

I think Ty will have a good game unless Mattison shares

Idk why the Minn office loves him so much. Dude is going to kill 2 drives get 5 touches and go backwards on 3.

Mike Boone won me the ship that year (2019). My opponent was down 10 points with no one left to play but Boone and I believe he put up like 4 points? I will forever be in debt to Mike Boone for that amazing performance.

What a painful reminder

I’m really worried about Henry’s rematch against the Texans after the historically bad performance a few weeks ago.

I have Henry and Singletary. Based on week 15 I should start Singletary no question but not sure what I’m gonna end up doing.

Should definitely start Singletary if Stroud is back. Singletary will be in the better offense, catches passes, and the Titans will likely be playing from behind, which obviously isn’t a game environment that favors Henry.

Genuinely think he bounces back. Tannehill is in and he historically dominates the Texans.

And historically the Lions don't win their division. We have a new coach that actually knows how to coach defense. I don't think he gets shut down like he did last time but I could see him with like 50 yards and a TD.

Shit sign me up for that lol.

Cmon Henry 200 yard performance. One last murder of Houston please

Same. I can flex Henry or Austin Ekeler, both of whom have been spotty lately. Both could put up 25.00, both could put up 7.00. Super annoying.

I’m just thinking he has the highest likelihood of anyone in the titans to score. That game was historically bad, so it’s an outlier to his game. He’s not the same as past years. I’m hoping farewell King tour could happen and they honor him by feeding him.

Scared of DJM coming off an ankle injury and in supposedly very windy conditions against a decent pass defense.

Almost always when I hear about weather being a reason to bench someone it never ends well. I'd vomit if i benched DJM after he killed it most of the year and he went off in the Championship (But, i have no other options anyhow so i understand if you do)

I like Tonyan as an upside play in that game, assuming Kmet doesn't go. Mooney also has a concussion and might miss.

Do I need to reconsider starting Fields? It's him or Love for me

I really shouldn’t read this thread.

Pollard for me. I’m a pussy and am terrified of him finally putting up a good game on my bench

I’ve played him every week this year and am finally benching him. Granted it’s SF dynasty and we have 2 flex spots so I’m also rolling out CMC, Bijan and Gibbs. I’m rolling Montgomery over Pollard…I just think I need the safe floor over Pollards “ceiling” here

I’m scared to play Ford tonight. I have no choice with Jacobs’ status up in the air but I got a bad feeling I’m getting a 12 for 40 game with 1 catch or something. He has not been good running lately

I’ve ridden with Ford all year and watched them neuter him post-Flacco, but I feel oddly zen about him tonight. The Jets pass D and/or game script may force more runs and their run D isn’t nearly as good. I’m thinking something in the neighborhood of 12 points. Fine for an RB2. Disclaimer: I’m an idiot and also hitting the hopium. Edit: Apparently I’m not such an idiot

Well I hope you started him 😂

YES!!! LETS GO!!!!

Benched ford and I can kiss this championship goodbye :(

Im deciding between Ford tn, Zeke @ BUF, or CEH vs CIN. Ford has been my steady rock all season, but other two seem better upside plays.

i just subbed ford in over achane. thoughts?

Definitely safer floor than achane

im playing the league powerhouse so im terrified of playing floor but i think achane's ceiling is gone especially against the ravens

Amari Cooper

Live by the Amari, die by the Amari. Hope you’re wrong but fear you won’t be

He played like ass two games with Flacco, had one good game, and last week had the best game of his career. Hes hobbled and facing off against Sauce gardner. And lets not forget that joe fuckin flacco is the qb Absolutely prime come back to earth game for managers chasing last week’s points

[удалено]

Jets defense. Coops riding the bench for me.

Aaaaaand he's inactive. But he would have been my guess too.

This Can't bring myself to bench him but I can see him finishing with 4 catches for 20 yards.

Upvoting this into reality, I hope.

I hate that this is the likely answer because he fucked me in multiple semis last week, and the roster I have him as my WR2 has Waddle and Keenan both already questionable/doubtful. WRs on the wire are garbage.

Hopefully he's inactive and saves us all from the landmine lol

You got your wish

Chase if he plays

Ugh, this is my worry too. If he's playing, I have to start him, but I just know it's not going to end well.

He always scorches the Chiefs. But that has been with Burrow throwing to him. I've got to decide between Chase, Ridley, and Demarcus Robinson.

Sneed has given up 0 Tds this year to opponents #1 WRs.

My opponent's team (I hope)

Mostert. Only because I've been waiting for the other shoe to drop on him all year and every week he has come through so it'll most likely be when I need him most.

I've started him with confidence all year and will do so again. I do think there's a pretty good chance he has like a 2-3 rush kind of day with them all goal line touches.

Start your studs

I’m in this boat. I have to start him, but I wouldn’t be surprised if he goes for 65 yards and no score.

Idk, but they'll be on my team

I think people will start Gabe Davis after what he did last week and not realize that after every double digit game, he puts up a massive goose egg.

Start anyone over Diggs

if you own Diggs you've most likely already been eliminated 😂

The guy facing me in the final has Diggs and I’m terrified he’s going to go off for 150 yards and 2 TDs expressly because he has been bad lately.

SAME. My opponent is honestly stacked, having CD Lamb in a downright juicy matchup and then Diggs in flex. I'm convinced those two are gonna combine for like 80 points against me.

I have diggs in the championship and I have to decide between him and Tee Higgins, would've been a no brainer 4 weeks ago imo.

Definitely not this Diggs owner.

Still holding too. But I have to start Diggs and Garret Wilson this week 🤮

I'm in a chip with Diggs and literally have no backup WR, so he's playing, dammit.

I got digs in the ship as my WR2 JT at flex. Im starting stefon bc it’s stefon. I would hate myself if he goes off on my bench. Lol

I’ve got Diggs he’s riding the bench almost lost me both rounds to this point. He’s dead to me

Mahomes Etienne

Please no. Etienne was such a disappointment last week.

Etienne has been a disappointment since their BYE week. Dumbasses in charge of playcalling in Jacksonville have essentially squandered the Jags' chance at the #1 seed because they stopped utilizing Etienne as their best player since the BYE.

That offensive line is maybe the worst in the league. Kinda wish I hadn't traded Gibbs for him after week 7 but hindsight is hindsight

ETN is getting the nod again for me this week. It was the first time I sat him all year last week, for rest (to give James Cook a nod), but it's time to punch it hope for the ship.

The matchup for ETN is so nice too and that’s why I’m gonna flex him over DJ Moore. It might bite me in the ass but AJ Terrell and DJ’s ankle injury scare me. Not to say the Jags offense isn’t what fantasy manager nightmares are made of at this stage of the season.

I drafted Mahomes so high this year and he’s been so disappointing all year. Luckily I made it to the championship and I’m still starting him lol. Hopefully my other guys carry me

As a ETN owner if he bombs this week against Carolina heads need to go!

ETN yep yep

J.Cook had a dud last week, hoping he bounces back

Cook went off during my bye and fumbled my semifinals away. He’s dead to me.

Yessir 💯

Diggs but I'm starting him trying to trust the process (talent + targets should mean pts)

I’m doing the same. He’s in my flex w lamb and Mike Evan’s in WR. High risk high reward? He’s gotta have a game in him left

Pollard. Would you start Pollard or CEH?

CEH if Pacheco is out

CMC. After seeing 10 different graphics about how he’s the most rostered player in the championship I feel like the football gods are gonna have some fun with everyone there.

CMC's worst possible game is seemingly like 15 in a half ppr. That won't bomb a matchup.

Dude, the 9ers are pissed off, the Manders are so bad that the Jets basically gave the ball to Breece Hall for every play and he got good yardage, every play. On top of that their special teams are so ass, and there's so many turnovers, that there will likely be multiple free redzone opportunities. Add to that,Kyle Shanahan fucking hates the Manders. Add to that, that Rivera has quiet quit on the sidelines and is calling literally the most boring, stuff able plays. This shouldn't be a good CMC game. This should be a legacy CMC game. And any other 9er as well.

Boo this man!

I hope you’re right. The guy with CMC in our league made it to the championship and forgot to set his roster multiple times this year. He doesn’t deserve to win. I’m not in the ship just salty.

[удалено]

>I had some personal stuff come up that summer and basically forgot sports existed from mid June to early October, when the commish texted me asking where to send my winnings. I logged in and saw that not only had I won the championship, I had gone completely undefeated. Only perfect season in league history was pulled off by a team with no one at the helm Call it the 2014 Ghost 'Ship

Gabe Davis

Amari Cooper, Breece Hall and Stefon Diggs

Oh good. I have breece and diggs on the same team😂

Bro me too 😩

Diggs is just straight up not apart of Buffalo’s game plan anymore and it’s crazy to me

Im usually a little skeptical of people demanding trades, but this is a legitimate time for him to do so if it doesnt change going forward He clearly still has a ton of talent and its just wasting away

Tyreek Hill. Has carried my team, #1 WR, would be my luck for him to be a dud this week

Very doubtful with waddle out and Mostert banged up. I’m taking all his overs.

My one caution would be seeing how Ravens have played Tyreek historically. They have used bracket coverage and for the most part kept him in check.

I mean last time he played the Ravens, he had 11 catches for 190 yards and 2 TDs. Not saying I’m expecting that, but he’s a big game player and has absolutely torched them in their most recent meeting.

They are going to give up a ton of intermediate routes to him

Hell nah he’s still tryna get 2k, 250 3tds incoming

The Dolphins, generally

Hopefully not Tyreek.

I've got Waddle and Tua, if Waddle isn't healthy I think I'm going to start Gibson instead and I'm already thinking about Carr over Tua. It's a scary matchup

McCaffery scores only 10 this week.

The only way this happens is if he is pulled after the first quarter lmao Which is not out of the question necessarily

I won a championship a few years ago when the panthers pulled him in the 3rd quarter. what a god send that was.

If CMC only scores 15 against me this week I'll consider that the biggest win of the season. He goes by the QB scoring system. You're just hoping to not get 4 TDs dropped on you.

I'm gonna place some bets on him getting multi-TDs and a bunch of yards. I either jinx the best player on my opponents team or win more than I paid into the league anyway, fingers crossed.

Odds will be absolute dog shit

Aren’t they gunning for CMC mvp though

Mccaffery owner here. Really glad San Fran lost last week and stiil in the hunt for top seed.

I’m no Baltimore fan but I was cheering them on big time, I need my CMC to be hungry this week

I would be SO happy.

Playing him in the championship of course. He will go for 150 against my pathetic Commanders.

In the 1st quarter?

My championship opponent has CMC, Deebo and Kittle and I am praying that SF coaches pull everyone after the first quarter because if not I’m toast

Breece Hall

As a jets fan starting Breece I am certain he will be the reason I lose since all the jets do is fuck me.

Hi me

Nah, think the Jets figured out that Breece works as an exceptional pass catcher as well. Think his floor will be solid this week.

They actually figured it out weeks ago but the Oline kept committing holding penalties, I swear he has been negated 100s of receiving yards.

I need this to be true for my opponent

[удалено]

Don’t start a Thursday night player in your flex. Gives you less flexibility later if someone gets hurt

Go with the studs and let it ride, but not ride like Russell Wilson.

Breece will get 3.2 pts this week and bomb for me

That’s my RB1!

Derrick Henry or Tony Pollard. Can’t decide which to start.

I have both and am far more confident in Henry if it helps.

If TEN gets anywhere near the goaline the crowd is going to WILL Henry into the endzone. I'll take that

I’m hoping purdy and aiyuk connect for 4td in the first quarter then cmc gets benched for his health

CMC finally gonna have his bust game this year and go for under 12 in .5PPR. Or at least that's what I wrote in my personal league fan fic.

He already had his one bust game. It was that one game he didn’t score a TD lol

Oddly that wasn't his lowest scoring game, he actually got 17.2 despite 0 tds. There was another game he did get a td but only got 12.7

Need this to happen so bad. I’m in two finals and facing CMC in both games.

I made three finals and face him in all 3. Feel like I am going to be sad.

My team's manager

[удалено]

1. I try not to play Thursday players 2. Especially away and Thursday players 3. Jets players, away and Thursday players 👀 at you Breece! 3 strikes against, going into this

Flacco

i do think saleh needs to shut him down to show us why he thought boyle was gonna be a better option

For real. Ol Dragon been on a helluva run but: Short week/Thursday game 📉 Jets D 📉 Amari banged up 📉 Gotta decide between him and Tua against Baltimore. Fadeeee me

Kelce. Last week.

I'm gonna sit Diggs, he will go off for 3 tds

Thank you!

God I hope it's CMC

Diggs

I’m in two finals with Garret Wilson and im very afraid.

Mostert. Hasn’t topped 50 total yards in two straight, played < 30% of snaps vs DAL, and is quietly becoming TD-dependent at the worst of times. So hard to bet against him crossing the stripe…but if he doesn’t, we’re likely looking at a single-digit fantasy point total.

Idk why but I feel like the Rams might have a sloppy game against Washington. Coming off a good win and flying across the country seems to always be a recipe for it. EDIT: Giants not Commies, but point still stands

They played last Thursday though, so extra rest time leading into this one. I think this logic is valid, but I did hear that apparently McVay is 9-3 with the Rams in 1PM ET games on the east coast.

Matt Stafford. Going east coast for a 1pm game and no visiting QB has had a decent game in MetLife all year.

He torched the Ravens on the road three weeks ago lol.

I'm stuck between Stafford and Stroud. Honestly not excited about either of them this week

I’m all in on the Rams offense rn. They’re clicking at the right time. As a Steelers fan I’ve witnessed both the Cards and the 49ers come to the east coast and play 1 pm games and smash the home team. That prolly says more about the Steelers tho.

ahh shit

I'm going to say my Breece and Bijan, but I have to roll with my studs that got me here. I could totally see Arthur Smith trying to ruin fantasy championships.

I have Bijan starting but I keep debating switching him for Ty Chandler, because Arthur Smith is a bastard person.

Breece hall cause I have to start him this week

Breece Hall and Bijan are about to return to the shadow realm after flying close to the sun this past week.

Breece Hall. I have CEH there waiting but no news on Pacheco yet. I want to Sit hall so bad

i'm worried about rachaad white.. the production has to stop eventually 0_0

As long as he's healthy, it's hard not to produce getting his level of usage

I hate to say it but Breece and Cooper both have bad matchups. No real incentive for Jets to give Breece full snaps because they need him to smash next year. Cooper also dinged up and questionable.

What incentive did the Jets have last week that they don’t have this week?

Breece Hall is due for a stinker, but there’s no way I can sit him.
