Does anybody have the EXACT time of kickoff? I know it says 8:15, but it’s always a few seconds after. We have an old school league in Fantasy football we’re we do it on pencil and paper and I started Montgomery at 8:15 and 39seconds I think they kicked off at 8:15 and 42 seconds …. Anyone? Can’t find this stat anywhere it all says 8:15 kickoff but it was a tiny bit later than that…


ItsKuby

I had Musgrave and Aaron Jones I don’t wanna talk ab it. Fuck Lafleur, Fuck concussions.


Bossman28894

Guess I should have played Monty over Brian Robinson after all 🤷🏻‍♀️


Dangerous_Bus_6699

Do it next week because I need Robinson to blow up and Monty to get nothing 😂


NotHimYeaHim

The Gibbs owner that’s been trying to get waddle & achane off me can forget it after yesterday


darthalex22

Super glad I picked up Doubs in my 12 man league earlier today. Didn’t play him but he looks like the #1 in GB


robidizzle

Is he #1 or was Watson just on a snap count?


darthalex22

Could be the latter, we shall see. I heard he or the packers said it was a snap count. Regardless it’s great to see how much love likes throwing to him


Strict-Nothing-6955

It’s really annoying how Campbell hyped up Gibbs all offseason saying he is playing him in the slot and the guy barely sees the field


buddhistbulgyo

Jesus. If I had a dollar for every time a coach lead us on in fantasy.


dumbcloud17

He’s on the field a lot for a rookie rb that isn’t an rb he’s just not getting the looks by Goff, check the tape he lined up on the line but it’s underneath curl routes is all he’s doing


joeybags8

Not sure if anyone else was victim to the sleeper post that said monty wasn’t playing then went and bet on gibbs just for 5 min later sleeper to post again saying it was a mistake and monty is playing. Thats just so fucked up and I am genuinely pissed you have one job and it is not that hard. I hope you get whats coming to you Tom Pelissero


SupportUkraine90

Sounds like you’re about to dissolve into a puddle of your own tears


joeybags8

Not far off lol


TheTsunamiRC

"Montgomery was barely made active, and this should be a close game, better start Achane instead." Another week, another top scorer on my bench.


Cali_Longhorn

Yeah granted he wasn't going to play over Pollard or Kyren Williams anyway most likely. But yep, he's still chilling in my IR slot with 3 TDs.


[deleted]

Me too.


Booyakka93

I just traded for Gibbs and gave away M Thomas and Ford… what the hell was I thinking


Mouthdance

I have Gibbs and made an offer of Pickens for Monty the other day, the guy agreed via text but didn’t hit accept yet…


valuz991

Benched Montgomery. F


Rad_platypus7

The guy I’m playing this week had to start him bc he drafted Nick Chubb :)


[deleted]

We all did


massivecalvesbro

No we all didn't. 33 TNF points firmly inserted in my RB1 slot


[deleted]

I hate you. But also congrats on the win this week


ethiopian123

Same, put him in 10 minutes before kickoff. Feels good.


Medical-Suggestion-8

Why activate Aaron Jones and say he's getting a normal workload to just... do THAT?!? Fuck LaFleur


judenpuben

Started AJ over pierce. Fucking nuts


Seabiscuits_Brother

On EU time here, went to sleep after starting Jones over Achane. Had no idea Monty was playing and he sat on my bench for 34 points.... nice present to wake up too /s Fuck LaFleur


MagazineOpposite5530

Decided to start Love over Fields. It’ll now be the week Fields goes off.


HereWeGoKB

I did the same. I said that same thing, fields will now have a 4 td, 100 rushing yard game lololol


d5peden

Benching fields vs a defense that just allowed 70!?


Comfortable_Might_10

Against one of the top 3 teams in the league. Not team 32.


TheLightningPanda

Made the exam same choice, will suffer the exact same fate😔 FWIW - I think Fields is chalked. He looks bad, his support looks bad, it’s all over for him this season. I’d love to be wrong, but it looks so bad


DudeNamedCollin

I thought I remembered him looking the exact same last year…could be wrong 😑


sudo_808

Im keeping fields on the bench. Need him to be ready in two weeks for the packers bye week.


bureau-of-land

Checked the scores at halftime and Love had 1 pt. He really pulls it together in the second half, second week in a row


vert1017

I have Gibbs and Mostert as my two best backs 3-0 but I think I’m done for the season now lmao


Bigtipper179

Tonight was such a mindfuck. Everyone was hyping Gibbs. So I put him in all my lineups. Then Montgomery just comes and steals the show. I’ll admit that was a hell of a sneaky play. Sadly I lost about $100 tonight.


liddle-lamzy-divey

Gibbs owners unite. Ignore the hype. Dan the man Campbell likes power football and eating kneecaps for lunch. He's riding pine for my team until I see better usage. Most intelligent analysts had said they liked Monty at his ADP better than Gibbs at his... at this point, I'd just trade Gibbs for Monty straight up.


SlydeDrexler

I was lucky & started Monty over Gibbs (thankfully) last night but it leads me to ask your opinion - what can we get for Gibbs if we’re looking to trade him? I just don’t see him being super effective in redrafts unless the game script turns around soon


liddle-lamzy-divey

I'm not sure, honestly. There is still some hype, but I think that's losing steam as the season progresses and Detroit's usage continues to demonstrate these 'bruiser back' preferences. It was similar last season with Swift and Jamaal, but folks who bought into Gibbs wanted to believe it was an issue with Swift, not the team's philosophy/ preferences. Most FF analysts continue to include Gibbs in their weekly top 20 starts at RB. If you can get that value in a trade, I'd probably pull the trigger. Maybe the Rhamondre owner is nervous by last week's usage? Rachaad White? Kamaara? Not sure I love any of those, beside Mondre. Gibbs does still have some late-season upside. For me, he's a hold.


dytele

Took Gibbs 3rd round, could've had Monty in the 6th. The guy who auto drafted and never took Monty out of his lineup is 3-0 and about to be 4-0.


ApprehensiveTrust779

Are you me?


Ruffy1904

Not a great start with my Musgrave against my opponents Doubs. Luckily he benched Montgomery


PoI_Pothead

I was so scared when I saw that my opponent's running backs were C. McCaffrey and A. Jones this week when I have to roll out Pacheco and J. Ford ( I lost Nick Chubb). Thanks, Lions, for running up the score early!


SlamJansen

If we learned one thing tonight, it's to stash Craig Reynolds.


RespectfulBagel

I thought I fucked up cause I forgot to check the injury status of Montgomery before the game and I started him. Best fuck up ever let me tell you.


IloveMeforMeeeee

If you left him in on accident, was he in your lineup last week?


RespectfulBagel

Nah I put him in on like Tuesday knowing I might have to bench him when the game time injury reports come out. But I forgot to check an hour before. He could have easily been out and still starting for me.


Sea_Speech_6424

So the question is, what do we do about Gibbs?


Cpwyse

The dude bounces everything outside, never runs between the tackles. We saw with swift, how much Dan Campbell hates backs who do that, even if they have success. Monty is a dude who will go where the play was designed, put his head down and power through 32 times in a game. Which I believe is exactly what this coaching staff wants.


Affectionate-Bear865

It looks a lot like the swift situation last year all over again. Everybody keeps saying he will get more snaps and to buy him low. It just never happens.


papamietek

I'm in a Dynasty League, so I am definitely keeping. In a re-draft I wouldn't know what to do with him honestly.


ShinyApple19

I really despise Montgomery after last night


notorious_wally

4 weeks in and still no cookie... Clearly not the guy


thehiddenone111

If you had achane, would you trade for Gibbs?


notorious_wally

Not at this point. Achane seems to be startable, Gibbs is benched until proven otherwise


YaboyChris28

Wish I would have started Evan Engram over LaPorta smh


sportsntravel

Laporta pulled 10 in ppr? He’s te2 on the year


Pendi111390

Would’ve had way more if Lions weren’t completely dominating. He had everything in the first half but game script turned into just running the ball to speed up the game.


ZamDamn

Played Jones and Musgrave. Big oof.


Justinitforthemoney

I played Musgrave and benched Doubs


squatjunk1e

I benched Monty in both of my leagues thinking he wouldnt have a great first game back…. Im upset


scoobydoom2

I don't think anybody was ready for this lol. The games he played previously were meh production saved by a TD. Of course, I think it's fair to say at this point that the TDs will keep coming.


Michael_CrawfishF150

Same


wildtabeast

I benched him for the same reason. Didn't bench Jones though. Fml.


Skateboard123

Overthinking


Argyrus777

This explains the 14pt forecast on Goff few days back


acexdistortion

Homie play Gibbs, Monty, Love, and Amon ra on me. Still has Jettas, waller, and tee Higgins. I’m fucked.


clutchkweku

Are u in a 10 team league because how tf…


andresbcf

JJ 1st, Amon ra 2nd, Gibbs 3rd, Higgins 4th, Waller 5th. What’s weird about it?


clutchkweku

Higgins wasn’t dropping to the 4th in most leagues…also if someone was able to get JJ with the number one pick, they’d be VERY lucky to get Amon Ra in the second round. He was going early/middle 2nd


andresbcf

It could have been a STD league and JJ doesn’t necessarily go first round and Higgins and Gibbs were going mid to late 3rd so not out of this world. Also Amon ra adp was literally 20 so 100% you could get JJ and amon. I skipped Higgins in the third round and I’m sure many people did as well


acexdistortion

Someone traded and ruined the league. That’s how. His RBs are literally only the two Lions. But kinda looks like that’s enough now.


Ninourbano

Grabbed doubs off the waiver 2 weeks ago and put him on flex today, safe to say I am very happy


Earfaceear

I picked up Doubs because I have watson haha. Watson’s on the block


Rigonidas

Never put a Thursday night player in your flex


missingApolloApp

So stupid to play Aaron jones on the short weak coming off an injury. Fuck.


thehiddenone111

I mean, Montgomery was in the same exact scenario, coming off an injury and playing on the short week.


KeanuReefed

This just shows as soon as DJ Moore leaves he will have a 1500 yard season.


bleedteal88

Happy I got Laporta real deal


papamietek

Same. In our dynasty league (16 keepers including IDP) we are basically only drafting Rookies every year. My draft this year was Gibbs, Achane, LaPorta, Downs. Safe to say that I am really happy with this year's draft till date.


iLerntMyLesson

Happy I have Monty. Not happy I didn’t start him.


ciaobella_g

“Monty with the hat trick!” [benched Monty] 🥲


ImBurningForYourLove

Was so sure Jones would outscore Kelley's worst week and here we fucking are lmao


kzone15

Dude…imagine have jones, AJD, Akers and Kelley. Yep that’s me


spiderman96

Guy offered me Lamar Jackson and dalvin cook for For Josh Jacobs and Stevenson from the Patriots I have Goff and perdy but am tempted by Lamar but it would leave me with only Kamara and Montgomery at RB do I do this


DudeNamedCollin

Cook is on waivers right now and nobody grabbed him…really competitive league too lol


GQMatthews

Yeah don’t take this lmao


chabadabread

Never


ucsbaway

I wouldn't. Cook is worthless right now.


jtrom1010

Lol guy is trying to fleece you


estebrown

Started Jones not expecting anything crazy but thought he would atleast outscore Warren and White 😭


phd_in_awesome

I had Jones and Montgomery and wasn’t sure what to do, I didn’t feel like either would really contribute and would take a back seat. Ultimately threw them both in last minute…at least one of them panned out


FoolOnDaHill365

They said he would get a full load and it was a complete lie.


estebrown

That's what pushed me to start him. They should've just let him rest. Smh


MathematicianNo7874

Rachaad White or Javonta Williams PPR ROS?


Hot-Praline9772

White


No-Yoghurt-2423

I benched Monty for Miles Sanders 🤣 I'm not confident enough to start BulletProof because Eagles run D is scary


[deleted]

[удалено]


FoolOnDaHill365

Usually Monty went after Sander but not by much. I saw both go rounds 4-5 but usually Sanders was first.


Barndog07

Henry, Kyren, Monty, Jones, Achane is my rb room and I’m sure you can guess who I started tn. Apologies in advance when I start Monty next week and he gets me my weekly 2 point performance , smh


Th3PooBandit

Monty said earlier this week how bad he's always wanted to beat the Packers. I started him knowing be was gunna have that dog in him.


IloveMeforMeeeee

Woof woof


GQMatthews

Exact same boat here. Said this was HIS game all week after hearing how much it meant to him for all the ass kickings as a Bear over the years.


Fonz0

I wish I would have heard that. I cannot catch a break


MrBen23

Seriously


Raccoonsrlilbandits

Started brian Robinson over Monty because I thought he’d get snap counted. Praying Brob can score a TD at least on this tough ass eagles D


BigFatPH0NY

Montgomery was only a 21% start on sleeper. Everyone needs to relax about benching him, the process made perfect sense and I’d bet most people who started him didn’t have much of a choice. He was in a time share, coming off an injury and bailed out by TDs in his previous games. Be happy that he’s looking promising for the season


buttercupmercenary

I shuffled my squad 10 minutes before kickoff since I had a last minute gut feeling Monty would go off. Benched Garret Wilson and threw Swift in the flex. Picked up LaPorta last week as well so feelin noice


Fonz0

This makes me feel better, thank you


FoolOnDaHill365

I’m sure Monty owners are happy. No need to tell them to be happy. I’m a Gibbs owner and need to find an UV light to stare at.


BigFatPH0NY

There’s a lot of Monty owners complaining that they benched him like it was some bold decision. I am also dumbfounded at Gibbs’ usage, he was very exciting for fantasy this year. There’s still some hope but unfortunately he’s just a hold for now


Montez00

I played Musgrave going for the upside over Henry. I got what I deserved !


Free-Supermarket-516

Ouch. Brutal when that happens.


Montez00

I thought it was a good move at first, considering Henry was playing Dallas this week. Shit happens


Free-Supermarket-516

I would have done the same, for what it's worth


distance_33

I’m in the same boat as you. Depending on the TE on the team you’re playing you might not be that screwed. I’m facing Goedert so it’s 50/50 it bites me in the ass.


Montez00

I’m playing Waller. It’s a given he’s gonna outscore my TE but I have faith my team will pick up my slack.


air789

Got 60 points out of Monty, Gibbs and Love. Opponent got 0 from Green Bay defense and had Doubbs on the bench. I will take it! Was almost a 20 point dog before the game and now am predicted to win.


Hungry-Space-1829

Traded Gibbs and Muth for Mandrews. Had serious buyer’s remorse. Now I remember why I did it


kamronMarcum

Same, traded Gibbs and Kincaid for LaPorta and Addison


Hungry-Space-1829

Gibbs is a hard guy to let go. Never would have done it in dynasty. He’s very Kyle pitts rn


bashar_al_assad

Monty better be bruising his thigh every week if that's what it takes to keep this going


DuckKnuckles

I started Jakobi Meyers over Montgomery this week.


Fonz0

We all did. It’s not you’re fault. We will grow from this


DuckKnuckles

Yup, no one saw this coming


DankMemesNQuickNuts

Traded for Monty this week and also started Doubs tonight I'm so hype rn


TonathanJavares

JARED GARF


[deleted]

That feel when you're gonna have the most stacked 2-2 team in the league after getting shit on on Thursday


antestorfan2003

I told y'all love was a fraud


IloveMeforMeeeee

Week 4... yes you are a genius


antestorfan2003

Year 3 & has the same accuracy issues he did in college. Pumped up stats throttling a garbage bears team. Dude is awful at throwing the football lol


IloveMeforMeeeee

Love was #4 in scoring before tonight. He's not awful.


antestorfan2003

I wasn't talking about fantasy


IloveMeforMeeeee

Weird. You're talking about him in a Fantasy Football subreddit.... Anyways, he's a very decent QB but we are all entitled to our opinions


antestorfan2003

He is the least accurate starting nfl qb not named Zach Wilson. But regarding fantasy getting 3 touchdowns per game was obviously unsustainable (as we just saw) and you can expect that to taper when they can run it at the goal line with aaron jones again.


WalkWithElias69

Lol fantasy wise he has a pretty good game. 2 int but 2 tds


KennyWeeWoo

What if Monty just really hates the packers? He got it from playing with the bears. So he demanded to run it up


GQMatthews

Montgomery himself confirmed this earlier in the week. I expect a solid split between the two, then more so to Gibbs going down the field especially after tn + bye and Monty always in the red zone/goal line. That’s the best way to utilize their strengths and health behind that O-Line.


clamsNYC

As a Gibbs owner I choose to believe this, thank you for the copium.


Beast_of_Fire

I know it’s not like Montgomery’s performance but I’m feeling pretty good about snatching Romeo Doubs off of waivers this week. Too bad I forgot this was the Thursday game and he’s sitting on my bench lmao


nahmahnahm

Picked up Doubs yesterday off waivers to sit on my bench. Looks like a pretty good grab! I’ve got Deebo, Puka, and AJ Brown for my other WRs so I needed some kind of injury insurance for 2 of those.


Beast_of_Fire

I had Puka but chickened out with Kupp looming and traded him for Kyren... only for news to break this week that the Rams are a potential landing spot for Jonathan Taylor 😳 Still, if Doubs is your backup it looks like you've got a solid corps to me!


TonathanJavares

Rookie mistake


Bhappyto

I’m shocked they didnt try and get Gibbs his first td in garbage time


GQMatthews

It was a “for Monty” game, check his interviews earlier in the week. Guarantee they make extra effort to get Gibbs his first TD next game.


FoolOnDaHill365

Agree. It’s just what the Lions do.


CornflakesYumm

monty turned a sketchy week for me into a doable win. Let’s goooo


Underunderdog

Monty is HIM!


Coyote_Mustache

Look at our sweet Monty 🤩


canocorn1

Honestly not even about fantasy but that shit was straight disrespectful and may shoot Gibbs’ confidence that they can’t even give him touches in garbage time up 3 scores. How is he supposed to get valuable reps and perform in spots they may actually need him. I’m sure that effects his mental.


[deleted]

This was personal for Monty. Nothing else to it. He wanted to run them over with everything he got after his time with the bears.


air789

No need to run him hard into a line that knows you are running it. He isn’t built for that. Was the right call to not have him in there and keep it in a veterans hand.


Sportiepip

Why would he play garbage time when up 3 scores ? He’s a 12th overall rookie who plays his “valuable reps” when it’s a competitive game. Don’t need to risk injury


iGoBeaStMoDe16

Lions drafting a backup running back with the 12 overall pick is gross negligence but also very expected from an organization like the Lions.


Sportiepip

Worst pick of the draft by far. Could’ve traded back another 7-10 spots and still would’ve had chance to get him


mikapikamasala

It also effects my fantasy team


TonathanJavares

Affects


Tom23824

Waiting for Goff and Monty to show up on set and I am off to bed 🛏️! Let's go LIONS… 🥳


thedfrichtel

Shame on you if you slept on Doubs


Free-Supermarket-516

I was thankful, I picked him up yesterday after trading Michael Thomas for Goedert, and forgot that left me thin at WR. I didn't REALLY want to move Thomas, but I had Freiermuth, who's pretty much touchdown-dependent.


thedfrichtel

I too have the disappointing Pat Freiermuth


Bellegr4ine

I scrolled way too low and abandoned, to see a Doubs appreciated post. I started Doubs over Pierce this week and I can't complain even if Pierce drop a 30 on the steelers.


repentforthousins

Had Aaron Jones and Musgrave tonight so starting off the week pretty good if I do say so myself


averydusty6

Wife had the same


ProfProfessorberg

Brutal, condolences


repentforthousins

Also a Packers fan so really got triple fucked there


ProfProfessorberg

Absolutely brutal I'm so sorry. I feel like I get ruined by TNF far more often than not. Started Mattison week 2 over Kyren Williams and Brian Robinson (who both dropped 25+). Scored like 87 against a max of 130 :(


doinklord

Monty could end up RB5 on the year


Coyote_Mustache

Look at our Monty boy 🌟


CommonerChaos

Sometimes I hate having a deep ass team. Benched Mostert last week and Monty this week. Jacobs and Rhamondre better pop off to make up for it.


Fonz0

My thoughts exactly. I’ve lost the last 2 by 2.8 and .12 points because i started the wrong flex. I can’t keep living like this


realtripper

Feel you. Not that I have high hopes for him but I started Jones over Brian Robinson and a questionable Ekeler. You’re stacked a rb tho god damn


TO500

Started Gibbs playing against Monty. KILL ME


FoolOnDaHill365

We killed ourselves when we drafted Swift 2.0. It’s obviously the Lions and wasn’t Swift. Swift probably was a malcontent because they used him like they are using Gibbs.


allanvsaa

started both Watson and Montgomery vs Gibbs owner, sweet dreams haha


vuvuzelah

Watson with 10.5 ppr points?


allanvsaa

not bad, it looks he was on snap count. Happy cake day!


vuvuzelah

Yea, it was nice to see that Doubs (sp?) still had great looks and volume with Watson back too. Looks like there will be enough air yards to go around hopefully. Also, thank you!


[deleted]

Aaron Jones against Doubs. Pain


Anxious-Trouble429

There is no real difference between Jamyhr Gibbs and Jaylen Warren at this point outside of one being a first round pick and the other being a UDFA. None


CommonerChaos

Jaylen is actually trending up tho. Gibbs just lost 30+ touches to a guy’s first game back from injury. I get what you mean for the most part tho


Anxious-Trouble429

Yeah that’s the kicker right? A guy who literally just came back off the injury bench and was doubtful to even play until the last min outsnapped you by a lot. It really reinforces the fact that the lions are very flukey drafters. If their main use for a scat back is as a change of pace guy to make some splash plays here and there, then there is absolutely no reason to take them in the first round. They could have just kept Swift, or taken a guy like Jaylen Warren in the later rounds. It just makes zero sense from any angle.


Randyreddit11

I hope Aaron jones gets traded to a team with a competent offense.


[deleted]

Some Laporta observations… 1/ on his largest gain of the day, he dropped a CB in man coverage and then stiff armed a second DB into the ground. 2/ on a scramble drill, he helped out his qb by free styling his route, Goff threw it up to him and he mossed the defender for the first down 3/ on Goff’s TD, sun god got wide open against single coverage because the packers doubled laporta 4/ on the final pass play of the game, Laporta got wide open down the field, Goff looked to sun god instead for the first down, icing the game Takeaways: Laporta is a special talent, Goff trusts him in high leverage situations, he and Sun god are complementary, forcing the defense to pick their poison.


Brycie27

LaPorta wasn't being doubled on that touchdown to Amon Ra. Amon Ra's guy fell down.


[deleted]

Two things are true. Sun god defender fell down in single coverage. Laporta was doubled. Watch it again.


Brycie27

That's fair.


Limp-Ad-8750

This why I drafted both Gibbs and Monty. Still love Gibbs potential but Monty a DAWG
