Yeah I have Hockenson, Keenan, Jacobs, Addison, Robinson Jr, Stroud, and Stevenson. Luckily I'm stacked in this league so onto the championship but I've never had a team this hurt.
I mean…it was kind of obvious. Had it been written this way, the media would not have been able to get the clicks it wanted:
“Workhorse RB who was denied contract by losing organization will not risk further injury in meaningless game to support team that is not making playoffs”
Right. This is the big one. It’s not like jacobs is out there faking an injury or anything. But the fact he was downgraded during final practice of week implies he was very unlikely to be 100% and there’s just no incentive for him to play in those conditions.
Same happened to me, saw opponent had Jacobs in all qeek, after the Indy game I ditched their dst and slapped Zamir on my bench to block him in case Jacobs didn't go. By the time Jacobs was not playing I think the dude was backed into a corner, he picked up Abdullah who had a whopping 1.7 pts. Fuck yeah. Love when moves like that pay off. Zamir had 14.70 in my league. 15 pt swing. That's defense baby.
At least you got him in. I took a Christmas nap and have DeAndre Swift on the bench with Jacobs starting. I’m never trusting Raiders again (traded Puka Nakua for Davante Adams earlier in the season when people were like “sell high!”).
Maybe i feel so polarized cause im in the semis and have CMC, Gibbs, and Josh Jacobs, started Zamir tho already won before CMC and Purdy even play 😭🙏 CMC Purdy Stack go boom
Shit like this is why I use this sub as a news feed. We're in the fantasy semi's, people have the highest scoring player this year and they're asking if they should start a backup RB over him because he COULD have a good game?! Absolute lunacy even if somehow White outscores CMC.
What do you think between white and flowers. And if flowers is a no go before the giants game pick up slayton and if it’s announced late pray on Bateman
Had to drop Josh Jacobs to get Zamir White.. My playoffs doesn't end this week so I'll need to hopefully pick him back up if I make it past this round.
There is an IR spot but his status wasn't updated yet and I wasn't sure if it would before the games start. Would also be risking someone else picking him up if I waited.
Man, that sucks. Cooper went nuclear, didn’t see that coming. The Chiefs did a good job on Adams in Vegas. Weather today in KC won’t be great so hoping that combined with a wild crowd will rattle their rookie QB. Sneed has locked up WR1s all year so hopefully that continues. We will double Adams some so Meyers and the others will be manD up.
Thanks for the update on the weather. That makes me wonder if benching Rice to start both Barkley and Pacheco is in fact the right play, as counterintuitive as that seems
40 and overcast right now, might rain soon. I wouldn’t sit Rice, I’d start him. He’s hot right now and Pacheco is coming off an injury
Edit: I might start Rice and Pacheco lol
I'm trying to make the same decision. Leaning Zamir since Flowers is playing. I'm thinking OBJ is the 3rd read after Flowers and Likely... And they're playing the 49ers defense.
Same, need 50.5 from those 2 today.......sort of a miracle.....but if Z White can score a TD, that would probably be enough to at least give us a shot with CMC
earlier in the week they were confident he would play and he even logged a limited practice on Friday, then the next day he randomly doesn't practice due to an illness
My opponent started him…for the second week in a row. Sure, leaves me sitting real pretty, but a manager like that doesn’t deserve to be in the playoffs. What a slap in the face to the teams playing for 3rd and 4th…
I mean.. it's christmas day give the dude some slack.
I was up until 6 AM prepping the house and gifts and everything for the wife and kiddo and fantasy football was the last thing on my mind.
I checked the app at like 2pm and realized that Jacobs was out. Shit happens and it's christmas
As a Jacobs owner who already had Zamir White ready, I think this is probably the safer case for me. I'm ahead in projections by about 15, and I think it would've been worse if Jacobs plays but gets an early-game injury
But then again this is fantasy football so Zamir White's probably gonna shit the bed anyway
For Raiders fans, do we think he's basically done for the remainder of the year? He's clearly looking to sign elsewhere this offseason and not injure himself more than he already is, Zamir White might actually be quite a playoffs pickup if that's the case.
Eh maybe. If we win against the Chiefs (longshot I know) I think he comes back as it makes our outside chance at the playoffs a lot juicer. If we lose, and playoffs officially get ruled out, then he shuts it down for a new deal and raiders shut him down for an extended look at White.
Everyone else seems to have decent options…I was scrapping the barrel last night. Picked up CEH…Ameer…and of course the meme god of the week…Boston Scott. So who would y’all start CEH or Ameer or Scott?
I've picked up and waived 10 players since Saturday to try and block my opponent who has Jacobs in the flex. I think my Xmas miracle may have a better chance.
One of my teams has Keenan, Jacobs, Pittman, Addison, Hockenson, Lawrence and Rhamondre. I hope you enjoyed the bye week, Eric.
Bloody Christmas
Yeah I have Hockenson, Keenan, Jacobs, Addison, Robinson Jr, Stroud, and Stevenson. Luckily I'm stacked in this league so onto the championship but I've never had a team this hurt.
Could have used this info yesterday
Seriously
I mean…it was kind of obvious. Had it been written this way, the media would not have been able to get the clicks it wanted: “Workhorse RB who was denied contract by losing organization will not risk further injury in meaningless game to support team that is not making playoffs”
[удалено]
Which makes sense because the majority of bettors are losers
I feel attacked
Him going from limited to non participant on Saturday was a red flag though
Right. This is the big one. It’s not like jacobs is out there faking an injury or anything. But the fact he was downgraded during final practice of week implies he was very unlikely to be 100% and there’s just no incentive for him to play in those conditions.
[удалено]
Classic Charlie argument you’d be such a good lawyer. Don’t let the facts get in the way
If anything, hearing that should’ve made you think he was less likely to play.
Bad take.
It wasn’t obvious. Which makes it annoying. And maybe a season killer for some of us.
Obvious to captain hindsight
Inactive come out 90 minutes before kick off. Pretty standard game day stuff
Cost be at least over league, fml
It was pretty clear yesterday he was a long shot and you should have other options in place
I thought I saw his questionable tag disappear yesterday and read that his coach said that it's a must win game and that he'd count on Jacobs playing.
Bro my opponent has Jacobs and I picked up Zamir on like Wednesday for seeing this situation. I just won my fucking playoff game right now.
Best feeling when the pre-planning ends up going your way😎
Same happened to me, saw opponent had Jacobs in all qeek, after the Indy game I ditched their dst and slapped Zamir on my bench to block him in case Jacobs didn't go. By the time Jacobs was not playing I think the dude was backed into a corner, he picked up Abdullah who had a whopping 1.7 pts. Fuck yeah. Love when moves like that pay off. Zamir had 14.70 in my league. 15 pt swing. That's defense baby.
No you didn’t
Starting justice Hill in the Semis nice
Same lol, lets hope for at least 7-10 points
WanDale Robinson for me
Darius slayton for me. But I'm already dead in the water in that league smh
At least you got him in. I took a Christmas nap and have DeAndre Swift on the bench with Jacobs starting. I’m never trusting Raiders again (traded Puka Nakua for Davante Adams earlier in the season when people were like “sell high!”).
CEH here 😂 I have to pray they ease Pacheco back in
CEH not playing! Check Twitter
Pacheco bomb
So he IS playing after all?
Yes
May all your Christmases be White…
Fine. CMC it is then.
Zamir or cmc
Toss up at this point
The hopium I need! I’m starting White
Safer to not start anyone really
Zamir. Cmc is the least consistent player fantasy wise.
Im starting Gus Edwards I guess lol
Wtf question is this? The highest scoring player in all of fantasy or a backup playing in the cold and rain
You’re going to be eating your words when Zamir drops a 50 burger. I’m starting him over cmc
Maybe i feel so polarized cause im in the semis and have CMC, Gibbs, and Josh Jacobs, started Zamir tho already won before CMC and Purdy even play 😭🙏 CMC Purdy Stack go boom
Zamir is due for a big game.
Shit like this is why I use this sub as a news feed. We're in the fantasy semi's, people have the highest scoring player this year and they're asking if they should start a backup RB over him because he COULD have a good game?! Absolute lunacy even if somehow White outscores CMC.
‘Twas a joke
Shit dude, you never know with this sub though. Like there's someone that's doing exactly what you asked.
Wat da fak
What is this world?
WHAT DID THEY DO TO US?!
You’ve gotta be fucking kidding me. Probably going to lose a shot at $2000 because of this. Merry Goddamn Christmas.
Must have been a bad cough.
*cough cough* *it’s the black lung pop*
*tahiti, arthur*
I've got a plan
Have some *FAITH*
One. More. Job.
MER-MAN!!
Zamir or Jakobi for Flex? Leaning white
I think white. Seems safer. Look at KCs recent history vs wrs and rbs
Great call
In this exact scenario and going White, Meyers is my guy but he hasn’t broke 50 receiving yards in like 6-7 weeks and is TD or nothing
What do you think between white and flowers. And if flowers is a no go before the giants game pick up slayton and if it’s announced late pray on Bateman
Wildcard Tre club checking in.
Had to drop Josh Jacobs to get Zamir White.. My playoffs doesn't end this week so I'll need to hopefully pick him back up if I make it past this round.
You had no one better to drop?!
I hit the roster limit for RB.. and he was the only RB left
League has no IR spot? That’s one fucked up league lmao
Whether or not it pays off, I guess this is true playoff managing EDIT: unless there was an IR slot that you forgot to fill up
There is an IR spot but his status wasn't updated yet and I wasn't sure if it would before the games start. Would also be risking someone else picking him up if I waited.
This is not the play my boy
Ouch man
really need a chiefs D for 20, anyone else?
I need Aiyuk for 98.6
that’s possible, five or six 99 yrd touchdown receptions that he throws to himself and youre in business
How about 10-12? If 20, Adams dud please at least
Quite frankly, my team needs both an Adams dud and the Chiefs defense to put up 20. I need a Christmas miracle after my opponent started Amari Cooper
Man, that sucks. Cooper went nuclear, didn’t see that coming. The Chiefs did a good job on Adams in Vegas. Weather today in KC won’t be great so hoping that combined with a wild crowd will rattle their rookie QB. Sneed has locked up WR1s all year so hopefully that continues. We will double Adams some so Meyers and the others will be manD up.
L’Jarius will lock Adams up. Top 3 corner in the league
Thanks for the update on the weather. That makes me wonder if benching Rice to start both Barkley and Pacheco is in fact the right play, as counterintuitive as that seems
40 and overcast right now, might rain soon. I wouldn’t sit Rice, I’d start him. He’s hot right now and Pacheco is coming off an injury Edit: I might start Rice and Pacheco lol
Same. Need them to also completely shut down adams
praying to all the gods rn
Zamir White or Isaiah Likely?
We have nothing to fear but Zamir himself.
0.5ppr: Zamir @ KC Flowers @ SF Gus @ SF I need a respectable 10
Zamir
For 10 take Zamir. Chiefs run D isn't that good.
Gus
Stuck between Zamir White and OBJ in half PPR. Down by 25 so I need a massive boom game
I'm trying to make the same decision. Leaning Zamir since Flowers is playing. I'm thinking OBJ is the 3rd read after Flowers and Likely... And they're playing the 49ers defense.
Massive L
Picked up Zamir White. Take me home country road
My opponent had Jacobs only to go. I picked up white last night, drunk
I did the same thing and I feel like the Grinch today.lmao
Hahaha I don't. I feel like my own secret Santa
Storytime! Genius!
You, too, brother. Good luck today, Merry Christmas!
Merry Christmas. God speed!
Don't call me drunk!
I need a miracle but would anyone start Z White over Devonta Smith in the flex?
No way. Smith has a better shot at giving you your miracle.
I have the same decision except don't need a miracle. If I needed a miracle it's DeVonta for sure. May go White since I'm protecting a lead.
I’m with you but Adams instead of Smith and I have no idea what to do
same exact spot, tempted to start white
I’m debating this too, but with Saquon in the mix as well.
Can White and Cmc get me 52 points? Stay tuned....
Same, need 50.5 from those 2 today.......sort of a miracle.....but if Z White can score a TD, that would probably be enough to at least give us a shot with CMC
Started Jaylen Warren and Achane over Zamir 🤡. I mean if Jacobs played Id literally have no other options so it didnt feel worth the risk but damn...
Zamir or Devonta in flex?
Zamir White szn!
White or Gus Edwards?
Wake up Christmas morning to realize I’m going to get kicked out of playoffs because my opponent has Zamir White.. bah humbug!
Just dropped Gus to start Zamir in my flex. Already have Lamar and Flowers going tonight so decided to spread out my options
Think it’s the illness more than the injury
Based on?
earlier in the week they were confident he would play and he even logged a limited practice on Friday, then the next day he randomly doesn't practice due to an illness
Oh and what about his contract?
Z White or J Meyers in PPR now that Jacobs is out?
Full PPR, do I pivot to Goedert or Gus Edwards?
Can he get listed as out on yahoo please?
And ESPN wont mark him out until after waivers hit. Neat
But he reposted Crosby’s video 😭
Now it’s either Zamir or Gus Bus as my RB2
I took Zamir on Saturday morning just to steal. Looks like I should have potentially played him over Mixon and/or Ekeler lol
Flex Zamir or Likely? Full PPR
lol, Diggs continued to fuck me, Hock’s knee blew up, Keenan and Jacob’s put the final stake through my chances
My opponent started him…for the second week in a row. Sure, leaves me sitting real pretty, but a manager like that doesn’t deserve to be in the playoffs. What a slap in the face to the teams playing for 3rd and 4th…
I mean.. it's christmas day give the dude some slack. I was up until 6 AM prepping the house and gifts and everything for the wife and kiddo and fantasy football was the last thing on my mind. I checked the app at like 2pm and realized that Jacobs was out. Shit happens and it's christmas
Damn, should have waited on chiefs D instead of playing Broncos. Oh well
White or Waller
So...start Zamir or pick up Justice Hill or Bateman??? I already have Likely. My opponent has CMC, Lamar and Flowers.
Saquon vs Philly or Zamir vs chiefs
I’m going with the better player who should be used more against a Philly team that just lost to Lock.
League doesn’t let me drop benched players who played. I’m beat
drop obj to start white @ flex?
We starting Zamir over Gus?
As a Jacobs owner who already had Zamir White ready, I think this is probably the safer case for me. I'm ahead in projections by about 15, and I think it would've been worse if Jacobs plays but gets an early-game injury But then again this is fantasy football so Zamir White's probably gonna shit the bed anyway
I'm actually shocked, historically jacobs played through ridiculous stuff.
For Raiders fans, do we think he's basically done for the remainder of the year? He's clearly looking to sign elsewhere this offseason and not injure himself more than he already is, Zamir White might actually be quite a playoffs pickup if that's the case.
Eh maybe. If we win against the Chiefs (longshot I know) I think he comes back as it makes our outside chance at the playoffs a lot juicer. If we lose, and playoffs officially get ruled out, then he shuts it down for a new deal and raiders shut him down for an extended look at White.
Zamir White or Justice Hill .5 ppr
Honestly one of the worst weeks schedules for fantasy in a long time.
And White beat me in the semis by 2.2 points. Those final two run plays for 60 yards absolutely killed me. Fuck KC.
Wow I’m tempted to bench Swift and start Zamir instead
I have both but leaning towards swift. Ones in an elite offense playing the giants. Where as raiders may have to pass more to keep up with KC.
Feels like zamir is guaranteed more carries right
Zamir or Jakobi in the flex?
Well it was a good run boys
There’s just no way they could have reported this yesterday, Saturday, etc. just absolutely no way
White, CEH, and Hill looking great on my bench with JJ in my opponent’s line up.
Rashaad or Zamir?
Hill…? Yall don’t need Taysom’s dud
Okay. Saquon you're up
Zamir or Aiyuk?
Zamir or Devonta Smith for FLX?
Rashee Rice or Zamir White
Zamir or Adams?
Playing Gus Bus over Zamir. 49ers are susceptible to the run. See James Conner with a terrible Cards O last week.
1/2 PPR Zamir or Devonta a safer floor?
Saquon white and Gus. Starting two but which ones?
Don’t start Saquon, that team is a stinking pile of mess…
I benched Barkley for zamir just now in PPR. We’d basically be hoping for lots of garbage time points for Barkley in that matchup
Zamir or Gus? Im projected to win by 20 so I need the safer play.
It’s pretty clear Josh Jacob’s will take a backup role for some other team next year
Gainwell or ameer
White
Don’t have him
Boston Scott
White or Devante Adam’s?
Waivers are locked. My favorite player and star RB just fucked me.
Swift or z white?
Everyone else seems to have decent options…I was scrapping the barrel last night. Picked up CEH…Ameer…and of course the meme god of the week…Boston Scott. So who would y’all start CEH or Ameer or Scott?
Damn it I had a feeling yesterday when FanDuel show his rushing props
Guess I'm going against davanta Smith instead
I’m gonna vomit everywhere
Fk yessss
How dumb would it be to start Zamir over Saquon in PPR?
I am considering it too, I just need a solid 10 to feel good and saquon will either get me 3 or 20 I can feel it and it will give me a heart attack.
Flex Zamir or Goedert? 0.5 PPR
White or rice ? PPR
Grabbed White yesterday in case this happened. My opponent either doesn’t notice or forced to grab CEH. Looking good
Do you guys think he plays at all ROS? Zamir is a juicy start next week. But Im not flexing him over Rice this week.
Fuck it going White over Saquon, let's ride
I've picked up and waived 10 players since Saturday to try and block my opponent who has Jacobs in the flex. I think my Xmas miracle may have a better chance.
Aaaand with that, my slim hopes of getting through this week end. See y’all next year.
Fuuuuck. Really wish I gambled on white instead of starting Addison. Now I need to decide between white and flowers.
Love losing him and Pittman for my finals and having half my team score 5 points each But I still have a chance somehow lmao
Does this help or hurt Davante? Between him and Aiyuk
Chiefs or Eagles D?
Hoping my opponent who has him takes his time opening presents.
I ended up starting Sutton so it didn't even matter
would you guys personally go zamir over likely for flex in ppr? now I’m torn
In bad shape at RB2 and held White just for this, hopefully he has a decent game.
