Switched him out for Blount but it was by no means a last minute decision.This is most likely true...

If I could go back and pull myself away from my computer just a few minutes before kickoff each week I think I would have several more wins this season... it seems every last minute decision I made was wrong... just a brutal year for my GM. I may have to let him go.Switched him out for Blount but it was by no means a last minute decision.
Only fair IMOMine is a keeper league and has a Toilet Bowl. But I restrict the losers from making any waiver claims, only Kickers and Defenses. Sucks, but those are the perks that come with winning.
I felt that sting this year as I was one of those losers. I made moves early tho for some keepers to consider next year.
I’m in a contract keeper, and we shut off waivers as teams are eliminated from the brackets, but we also don’t allow playoff acquisitions to be kept the next year. Rosters revert to end of regular season. This prevents dead teams from picking up FAs but doesn’t give the teams still alive an advantage for the next season.Mine is a keeper league and has a Toilet Bowl.

Started Blount over Henry and regardless of the outcome, not regretting it. The performance by Henry and the performance by the Jax run D were huge anomalies condsidering the 13 week sample size.Update?
Obviously not in keeper and dynasty leagues though.As the commish, I just lock all non playoff teams rosters before waivers run week 14 so they can't make any moves. Pretty easy.
Just heard from Sleeperbot that Ekeler expected to be inactive and Gordon not healthy enough to practice yet.Updating for week 15
RB's:
- Justin Jackson (LAC) - Not sure if Gordon will be back this week or not, but he's still worth ownin
Im in a keeper league and the rule is all players picked up during or after week 14 are ineligible to be kept. So yes those teams are locked out in my keeper league too.Obviously not in keeper and dynasty leagues though.
Looking at him and Samuel and Pettis as possible WR options among a few others.Kenny Stills is available in a few of my leagues. Tannehill seems to favor him.
I'd try and play some keep away then. Does your opponent have any obvious holes he might be looking to fill via FA? If so, use the spot that way.14-team standard league. I have a roster spot to burn, and I'm honestly not sure if there's anyone worth picking up. No obvious handcuffs for my RBs (I have Barkley, Lindsay and Michel, and we can only start two). I mean, even if one of my guys goes down, would I really start Gallman or Freeman in a playoff game? Maybe Burkhead, but even with a Michel injury I probably wouldn't start him over Saquon/Lindsay. For WRs, it's either Hamilton, CSamuel or ZJones, all of whom would need multiple injuries to make my lineup. There's not even a decent DST out there to pick up as a block (I have Chicago).
I'm actually considering a WR handcuff (Conley, in case Hill's injury gets worse). At least he would have some upside as the top WR (and second receiving option) on a dominant offense.
Averaging around 10ppg in standard the last 4 weeks. He is getting looks, but Carolina is collapsing right now.
- Curtis Samuel (CAR) - WR3?
True, but Minnesota and Jax aren't the best matchups for 1WRsKenny Stills is available in a few of my leagues. Tannehill seems to favor him.
For the record, his stat line last week was inflated by one of those end-of-half plays where they threw a dump-off to him instead of attempting a Hail Mary and he picked up 33 garbage yards. Other than that he had 3/47. Two weeks ago he had 2/17/1.Averaging around 10ppg in standard the last 4 weeks. He is getting looks, but Carolina is collapsing right now.
Really bright future here though.

Not saying he's bad, and he certainly could pay off down the stretch, but as you said, he's on a collapsing team, has an injured QB, and is in that large group of WR3s who in a given week can give you 6/110/2 or 1/13/0. I can't imagine being in a scenario where I would start him with confidence (which is not the same as saying I can't imagine a scenario where I would start him).
I mean, given that Ridley's team is also imploding and he plays behind Julio, I'd agree. But I view them both as part of that broad group of WR3s who can go off any time but are very hard to trust.He also added 25 yards rushing to that 2/17/1 (that was also against Seattle)
He is getting targeted alot (28 the last 4 weeks) and gets NO this week.
I think he is more reliable to me next week than Calvin Ridley.
Right...just like Samuel's targets a bit more and he doesn't have as much comp for touches as Ridley seems to right now. Add in a few runs and going against NO and he seems tempting at least.I mean, given that Ridley's team is also imploding and he plays behind Julio, I'd agree.

I may roll the dice with Carr this week over Cousins and Lamar Jackson (nervous that they might bring Flacco in)shadyridr said:I'll be starting Allen over Cousins and Wentz
Derek Carr might be a solid streaming option vs CINCY
Got the same two QBs.I may roll the dice with Carr this week over Cousins and Lamar Jackson (nervous that they might bring Flacco in)
Who would have thought?
Unfortunately Josh Allen is no longer available for me to pick up.Got the same two QBs.
I don't think I can stomach the thought of playing Carr in the playoffs, however.
Elijah McGuire missed Tuesday's practice with an ankle injury.
With Isaiah Crowell (foot) and Trenton Cannon (toe) also sidelined, it means each of the Jets' top three running backs missed Tuesday's session. An addition is likely going to be needed ahead of Saturday's game against the Texans. The situation will be updated on Wednesday
DeAngelo Henderson?Anyone know who the JETS could roll out if their top three backs don't go?
My team is seriously banged up enough to need this guy off the street.

I like Pettis a lot. Lit Seattle up previously. He's quick, his route running is far beyond his years. Fitz is old and the Cardinals suck. Humphries got the targets last week, but I can see Winston being awful this week.Was able to grab my two targets, Ian Thomas and Josh Allen.
Looking hard at Pettis who is still out there, right now I'm rolling out either Larry Fitz or Adam Humphries as my WR2 in PPR.
So I could be starting 3 players in the semifinals that weren't on my roster yesterday....fantasy is weird.

I'm glad we're talking TEs here.Anthony Firkser for TE desperate. Pass catching TE with 4 games in a row with 3 catches ore more. 3 of those games with 40 yards or more, 1 TD. Jonnu Smith on IR facing a Giants team without Landon Collins.
I could've had any of the 3 but honestly didn't really think about Firkser. Even when Jonnu was doing decently he was getting like 2 or 3 catches a game.Buttonhook said:I'm glad we're talking TEs here.
I'm looking at both Ian Thomas and Firkser for Week 15, and possibly even V. Davis.
Did you guys have a choice between these two and each selected the different guy? Any thoughts behind your selection?
Looks to me like Firkser has the better matchup, but from the little I've watched from both of them Thomas appears to be more explosive. Kind of thinking Firkser has a higher floor but lower ceiling.
