Won my must win to get in game in my ESPN league, and it looks like both teams I needed to lose (I only needed one of them to lose if I won) are going to lose. So I'll be in there. I am winning in my other league where it looks like even if I lose I'll be in, but instead of getting the 4-5 seed matchup I wanted, the 4 seed is losing his matchup and based on points scored and the other scores in the league, it looks like he'll drop down to the 6th seed and I'll the new 4 playing the new 5 whose team is much better and is on fire right now. Dudes got Devante Adams and DK Metcalf at WR so. Unless my team blows up next week, I don't have much faith that I'll be able to successfully defend my chip.
Yep I had to just go through Adams, Kelce & Lamar tonight and I absolutely hate them. Kelce is my #1 least favorite player to face in fantasy all because like 4 years ago he scored a 70 yard screen pass touchdown on Christmas and that play beat me in the championship. I’ll also never own him because I’ll never draft a TE in the 2nd round so he brings me no joy.
What are the chances Gibson, McLaurin and Deebo combine for 54 tonight??? Almost certainly zero, but CMONNNNNNNNNNNNN.
I still can't believe Herbert only scored six points yesterday. Cooks also did me zero favors. UGH. I posted on Monday last week about the guy in my league who was 4-7 and has checked out and didn't set his line-up prior to the Thanksgiving games and sat Watson (because he had Burrow in his starting line-up who we all knew had broken his leg) and he ended up only losing to the 6-5 team by 14. He would have beat that 6-5 team handily had he made the rational and competent decision to start Waston. Well that 6-5 team became 7-5 with the win and then played me this week (I was 7-5 too), and he's going to win and now he'll be 8-5...instead of tied with me at 7-6 and I have way more points then he does so I wouldn't have lost any ground in the standings. I'm still so furious about this.
I need for Terry McLaurin, Stefon Diggs, and Chase Claypool to outscore Josh Allen by 23.95 points tonight and I'll have the bye. Really wish Derrick Henry would have played like a grownup. Also, didn't help that last minute I switched David Johnson (playing against Indianapolis) to Gore because Adam Gase loves Gore so much. So, my rationale was I just really need the floor play and Gore will easily see 15+ touches against a terrible Las Vegas defense. I still stand by my decision considering you can't predict injuries, but man it sucked when games started and literally less than a minute into the noon games I see a Q next to Gore's name. I really hope Mixon comes back next week, but I could easily see them just keeping him on IR considering they are playing for nothing.
It was a great game from Akers and it honestly could have been WAY bigger too. He didn’t score on 2 different redzone chances and Goff snuck in another opportunity on first down with Akers in the backfield. However, I’m pretty sure Henderson had an injury in the first half and that COULD have led to Akers emergence. Which sucks. The late Henderson TD doesn’t help matters.
Darrell Henderson was also injured yesterday. I know he came back but still that may have been why Akers got so many touches
what do you need pointswise? If you need a ton of points I think I'd go Claypool if you only need like 10 total points I think I'd go Deebo
I know it’s obnoxiously early to think of next season, but I’m pumped I get to choose between these 2 for my keeper next year: Justin Jefferson in the 10th Antonio Gibson in the 10th (also can do: - Mixon/Hopkins 2nd round - Josh Allen 8th round - Will Fuller 7th round - Goedert 16th round)
Gibson and McLaurin could both easily do 20; dont thing its crazy for Deebo to get 15ish. Feels like Gibson and Jefferson are more valuable in the 10th than Fuller in the 7th or Allen in the 8th. Though I guess it depends where Fuller ends up in free agency.
Yeah, then go Deebo. You dont want to risk that Claypool has 2 catches for 7yds or some shit. Deebo is the feature weapon for the 49ers, whereas Claypool is one of 4 guys that can get the focus.
I need CeeDee Lamb, McLaurin, and Zeuerlein to outscore JuJu by 10pts and I claim the #2 spot in my league and get the bye. Considering I started this season 1-4, and Im gonna finish at 8-5, this is a big, big win either way
Will Fuller suspended last week and Gibson out with turf toe this week. Absolutely love to see that right as fantasy playoffs begin! Ugh.
My regular season is 14 weeks so I could afford to lose this week and still have a chance to make the playoffs. I was down by 50 going into both games tonight and accepted my loss BUT I still need to keep up with my points because I’m second in scoring and I anticipate a bunch of tied records and I got a fucking combined 2.8 from Gibson/McLaurin. What an absolute nightmare. Need Deebo to do...something.
lolwelp....Benny Snell doing absolute dick means the long shot of me missing the playoffs entirely is possible. Fuckin A. I am now probably going to make my matchup, and one of the teams trailing me could score enough points to pass me and bump me to 7th. FML
Through 6 quarters of Monday Night Football...Gibson, McLaurin and Deebo have combined for 3.1 points. That’s literally impossible.
thank God my squad went off because Cole Beasley is having a game lol I'm still gonna win easily though
