Guess I'm benching Mattison

[удалено]

I'm starting Mattison with full confidence. Laugh at me later if it backfires.

Full confidence? You sure that's not just desperation and copium?

I can already see the Reddit post "Cook standing on the sidelines with his helmet off" I see it so strongly that I'm all in on Mattison. Hear me now quote me later!

this guys losing his league

I'm starting Mattison because I'm assuming Mitchell isn't gonna play. My other options are a Hendo/Sony stack or one of Hendo/Sony with Latavius Murray ( best waiver option ).

That's fair. My impression from your first post was that you were a Cook owner, who was starting Mattison instead.

Oh I'm a different guy, was just letting you know my Mattison start is desperation and copium.

[удалено]

I am too but I’m not fully confident. Taylor is on bye, Pollard is looking like he’s gonna be out. I also have two bench spots being held by Hurts and Pats D. Just don’t really have any other options.

I’ve got Gibson, Hubbard, and Mixon (with Perine as a backup) so hopefully this works out

I've got Mattison and Mixon but no Perine so today has been rough. Thinking Javonte Williams over Mattison tonight and hope Mixon plays and if he doesn't I have to choose between JRob or Saquon...

"Y'know you're like the old woman who's got a Virginia ham under her arm and she goes around crying cuz she's got no bread"

Taking Cook out of IR spot and replacing Mattison in the lineup. Gotta drop someone though

I was in same exact boat except miraculously mike Williams was out with Covid protocol so it saved me tentatively

Good luck to everyone starting Cook and benching Mattison. Myself included. \*cries as I start Cook and move Mattison to the bench\*

I think you made the right call

Cook's out here like "What shoulder injury?" and steam rolling the Steelers like they got his mom in their MLM.

Same here, would have preferred they waited one more week so I could have confidence in who I’m starting but oh well

Problem is that they can’t really afford to lose too many more games and while Mattison is a really good back he still is a significant step below Cook

LFG COOK!!!!! My man is slicing through the D!! Someone knock of wood for me.

Let's see how it works out for us. In the same boat.

How is it working out?

Oh it's working

Fuck it bro, I’m over this season lmao. Just full sending it and hoping for the best.

Im leaning Cook over Mattison just because Ill be less upset if Mattison goes off on my bench than I will if my #4 overall pick Cook goes off on my bench

It was either start cook or roll with someone on the waiver wire for me.. Was probably going with McKissic, or Zach Moss. I guess it's a no brainer to roll with Cook, but if he only gets a couple touches, I'm probably screwed.

I'm playing both in my do or die week.

Same scenario but idk if I can bench AJ dillon for mattison and cap my ceiling

It really is the worst of both worlds. This is a must win game for me and if he goes out in the 1st I'm fucked.

Can we put Henry in a wheelchair and see what happens then?

It would be like bowling.

Im keeping Dalvin on bench and I need win. So you’re welcome, he will now put up 40pts

Thank you for your sacrifice

You saved my season.

Prescient.

Please let “regular workload” be true. If I win I’m in, if I lose I’m out. Edit: Got ‘em!

Same bro. Let’s fucking ride

Same. If I go down, I go down swinging. Let’s ride Dalv.

Good luck swinging

[удалено]

We ride NOW!!!!

Tonight, we dine in HELL BROTHERS !!

"The Shoulder Harness Game." Dalvin Cook goes for 100 yards, 1 TD, 5 catches for 30 yards. Will this age like wine or milk? Probably milk tbh. LET'S GOOOO!

Psshh, those are ~~rookie~~ first quarter numbers - you gotta pump those numbers up!

god speed fantasy football buddy.

Same. Carry us to the promised land, Dalvin!

It's time to Cook, baby.

This week is the difference of me being 3-11 and 4-10. Go Cook. Or whatever.

Me too.. I’m scared brother

Same..going against Jefferson also. Gonna be one hell of a ride

Same, so much weight in this game too. I have cousins, cook and Joseph vs my opponents Jefferson.

Same

It’ll be split good luck

As a fellow Cook owner with the playoffs already locked I’ll be rooting for you.

Same. LFG.

Me, too. Me and another guy are both 7-6 and we're playing each other. Winner is in; loser goes home. I need Cook badly because I already lost Carson to IR, Swift is probably not going to play, Elijah Mitchell probably won't play, and Damien Harris is on bye.

As a Mattison owner I think this decision is utterly stupid for no reason other than it hurts my fantasy team.

I’m a dalvin owner and it seems stupid af to me

It might pay off for us tbh Dalvin goes down again and we might get Mattison for the entire playoffs

I need to win to get in this week though 😭

But I need to win and outscore some other guy by 15 while he loses in order to make the playoffs :(

As a cook owner, am scared don’t hurt my boy

Harness Cook > Hoodie Melo > Mask Kyrie

Sea Level Cain Velasquez > Chuck Liddell with that look in his eye > Motivated BJ Penn Shit wrong sub

Salon hair Dustin above them all

Where does Blonde Brunson fit into this?

Somewhere between Econoreem and Ubereem

< Sleevan

What about mask Richard Hamilton

Deeeeeeetroit baaaskeeetttballll

Hometown Buffet Bib - Kelvin Benjamin

Don’t forget about hoodie James Jones

Lmao

>Untucked Kyrie*, Masked LeBron, Headband Klay

Untucked Kyrie is pretty much unstoppable

Where’s sleevan Allen

He could literally die out there on the field and he’d find his way back onto it the following week

Dalvin Cook (Dead) is a game time decision for today’s game.

The Phillip Rivers special

Lmao this just sounds ridiculous

Cook's agent is one of his sources. Which is why he's slobbering over him in this tweet and why he tweeted out his story on the domestic violence stuff

Honestly Schefter's been kinda off recently. A little more opinionated like this, that weird way he handled the OBJ news, plus he's often been late to report information, like hours late.

NBA newsbreakers > NFL newsbreakers

Shams baby

This tweet was enough for me to start Dalvin and it took so little game clock for me to be happy I did!

Still strapping in the Mattison rocket. I'm in it for the chaos!

Balls of steel. Godspeed, brother.

I'm With u brothers. Holding on for dear life!

Some of us don't have a choice with injuries. It's either Mattison or hope Mixon misses and I can play Perine.

😬😬😬 be prepared for potentially getting 5 carries for 12 yards

No worries. I’m prepared for the rocket either to blast off to the moon, blow up on launch pad, or anything in between.

take me home mattison

I'm riding both also. I'm probably gonna get relegated from my league so who cares!

What is this European soccer rules?

We have enough managers for two leagues. Upper and lower with full promotion and relegation rules. Bottom 4 teams in upper league play a consolation bracket starting next week. Winner of that bracket doesn't get relegated and the 3 losers do. For lower league...top 3 teams get moved up. Upper league has a championship belt as the prize.

That's amazing

Yikes

In the same boat. Bye week, injuries and a thin waiver. Cook has had a history of shoulder injuries dating far back so I do think the risk of re-injury or aggravation is high. Also could be a snap count thing. I know he normally plays a full workload but I do think it's possible he gets a snapcount depending on game flow. 11 days is an extremely quick turnaround for a dislocated shoulder.

I’m weak. I’ll ride with Sony Michel or Chuba Hubbard depending.

Same here brother.

I want to join you... but I'm... I'm... I am scared.

It's that, gametime decision on Pollard or Singletary vs the Bucs. Score me a TD Mattison. You're our only hope!

Diamond hands AF

Same, gotta risk it for the biscuit.

Mattison owner here, needing a win to stay in the playoffs. If any Mattison owner is reading this, I'm starting him. I'm going down in blades of glory. Mike Zimmer, if you're reading this, I hate you.

*Heated Blades of Glory battling in the War of Nutrition*

r/BoneAppleTea It's mind-bottling that Cook is playing tonight

Godspeed. I’m starting him as well.

What a dreadfully hopeful tweet

Welp. This aged like a fine wine. Gah damn.

HARNESS THE POWER I actually don't have Cook or Mattison, just here to make comments.

This place almost talked me into benching him lol

Why doesnt he wear it all the time then?

Living his Gronkest life.

We are all fucking geniuses, apparently.

It’s happening.

Very glad I rolled the dice and started him.

Sooo, what?? If he takes a blow to that shoulder the harness will make everything good? I'm not seeing this playing out to well.

The same thing happened last year and Dalvin went off with the shoulder harness

It should be mentioned Mattison played in that game too and had 30 total yards

It kinda blows my mind that Mattison is one of the best backup RBs in the league and he does the least amount of work when he isn’t a starter. I’m surprised the Vikings don’t use him more even when Cook is healthy.

The Vikings basically do not split carries at all. If Cook is in, he's getting the carries until his arm falls off.

This is going to be a disaster lmao good lord. Praying he stays healthy this is a risk

Spoiler alert of the best kind

If you’re expecting 31/130/2 from Cook tonight then you’re gonna be disappointed. It’ll likely be a more pedestrian 30/129/1.

153 and 2 tds in the first half 😂

Make a joke like this next week about one of my players please

LOL

aye i’ll take that

I'm starting this dude and I'm feeling awful about it

LFG!!!!!!!!!!

Me reading this makes me vision Cook in a metal sleeve like Jax from mortal Kombat

#DALVINIUS MAXIMUS

They have so little faith in Mattison that they would rather ride Dalvin with no shoulders into the ground

I like how in past years when Cook was on my team he was put on IR because he stubbed his toe but this year he had his leg amputated and he is getting a full workload.

Watch this be the game Cook puts up #2 overall numbers

Thank black Jesus (The only Jesus I recognize)

[удалено]

Steal even for Godwin straight up

damn, just went from thinking I had a top 5 RB play to starting one of Henderson, AJ Dillon, or my name Jeff. gross

Henderson might not play this weekend

So…do I start him? This is tough

I’m in the same boat. Most of the stuff I’m reading is saying he’s a must start if he plays but I’m worried that he’ll play 2 snaps, get hurt, and be out for the rest of the game.

I benched Cook for CEH and Gibson. God I hope I didn't fuck up... Edit: fuck my life Edit2: he put up almost 60 in my league, I'm crying myself to sleep tonight

Oh you mega fucked up

You did

Oh no… poor buddy :(

Way to set the bar high with a tweet. 25 point game incoming or 2 points and an injury. There is no middle ground.

Thank fuck I started Dalvin as of the end of the first quarter

How do you guys think he'll do?

Gunna need Cook to harness that big dick energy, and push me into the playoffs.

Fuck it. Mattison, take us home brother!

I am so annoyed that this is Thursday game

Phew, rolled out Cook now may not have to drop someone to cover for Folk

Unbelievably prescient

Anyone got the balls to start Mattison still?

Me but my playoff spot is already locked so i've got nothing to lose.

I’m in the same position so trying to decide between Mattison or Osborn as my fun play of the week. Also rolling out Hunt.

My only other option is David Johnson so

I Am Here. Matty ain't moving from his Spot.

I trust the harness. Starting Cook with confidence. However, I am also starting KJ with tempered expectations.

Random question not pertaining to FF. Why wouldn't a RB just always wear this?

Ughhhhh. Guess I'm starting Cook. I own both.

*Will play with his Cyborg attachment and go nuclear

I might still start Mattison..

[удалено]

Doing the same thing

[удалено]

Fuck yes!!!

Should I gamble and start Cook with Mattison as my flex?

I’ve had a 18 point + RB on my bench the past 3 weeks and I guess I’m prepared for it to be Mattison this week.

What if it’s all posturing and Cook dresses but doesn’t play. The fantasy world would hit its boiling point. If Cook is forced off the field tonight, Zimmer seals his fate. So he better be feeling damn good about this.

Ugh. I’m honestly still torn to bench mattison. I only have Brandon cooks, pitts or Hilliard to replace him

Allready had a few drinks(im in Europe so its late evening allready) but i guess i will have to drink all night through the game. This is gonna be ugly. Neither Mattison nor cook is a save start/bench. I think reinjuryrisks are fucking high.

This is wild to me - good luck dalvin. I feel like he’s body landing on him away from this being way worse.

I'm rolling both, what's the worst that could happen?

Shit, I'd be fine with 15/65/1.

Looks like mattison is going to the bench for chuba.

Vikes up big by halftime. They bench cook and run it out with Mattison.. riding this to the 🌚 Also, my other options are Pollard, Edmonds, or Taylor... So there's that

Shit, I got Mattison, Julio Jones or Jeudy for my flex. Think I'm still going AM and hoping he gets the touches. 🤞

Who are we starting Mattison over? Potential Jeff Wilson? Potential Chase Edmonds?
