Prob cost me my season playing this guy. Gonna end up losing by like 5-10 points.
Couldn't anticipate that Reynolds would get so much play.Prob cost me my season playing this guy. Gonna end up losing by like 5-10 points.

Even a blind squirrel finds a nut every now and then.Sure…but they seemed to have gotten this right so far.

Didn’t Shefter say he was starting Reynolds?I gotta hand it to Mike Clay (FFN)... he said Reynolds would be good for 10-12 touches and thought he would impress.
Well I might have survived this one by the skin of my teeth after playing him over 3 WRs that all got around 10 points. 3 teams vying for last 2 playoff spots, double headers, looks like one guy went 2-0 with 2 matches against bottom feeders, I’ll be going 1-1 and as long as Kyler Murray/Conner don’t have absolute #### shows, the third guy will be going 1-1 as well, meaning I’m in as I’ve scored like multiple 100s of points more than both these teams across the season and that’s the tie breaker.
Lesson well and truly learned
The dude didn’t hurt my team, but you have to admit the hype wasn’t warranted it seems. I’m not saying that because of this one game either. There is a lot at play when it comes to the Lions and most of it isn’t good for fantasy.Didn't start him but was almost as disappointed with Sutton (thought if there was one game who could end his slump....) Whatever, still had high score of the week, 5th straight win, on to the playoffs.
I hate all these whiny “I didn’t make playoffs bc this guy suxors.” (Not you @TartanLion - just a general about all the little girls posting in TSP.) Dude, you didn’t make the playoffs bc your team wasn’t good enough. Doesn’t come down to one player - almost every week you have to overcome someone having an off week. It’s like someone crying “Dang, I’m out of the tournament bc I got rivered” while ignoring the 3 times they sucked out on 5th street with the worst hand.
Man up.
Absolutely. Obviously outside of Hock & Swift (when healthy) we shouldn’t be using any of them.The dude didn’t hurt my team, but you have to admit the hype wasn’t warranted it seems.

Didn’t you do most of the hyping?Absolutely. Obviously outside of Hock & Swift (when healthy) we shouldn’t be using any of them.
What if we had hyped up Reynolds instead? Still a meh Flex option. Meanwhile Penny sitting on most WW, or nabbed for free.
Neat hobby eh.
IndeedDidn’t you do most of the hyping?
Listen man, I’m trying to talk myself into starting Igwebuike.
…
Probably be a 50/50 split with neither being Top 24. But Swift, Pollard, Carter & McKissic out I am just making a desperation call.
YOLO
I made it pretty clear in the first post that I was desperate and expected nothing.

Hey, you miss 100% of the shots that you don't take.Indeed
I also had a lot of post with caveats about the risk and at least a couple “I’m really just trying to convince myself.” In the end, I wasn’t convinced.
I’m not Svengali, anyone starting Iggy is responsible for their own decision. Anyone reading those posts knew (or should have known) it was a desperation play.
I have 5 who were declared out yesterday, 4 RBs + Hock. Thankfully played Freiermuth TNF but I was def in desperation mode for my Flex. Basically my only choices here Herbert, Sutton & Ogwebuike…or 10 other scrubs on the wire (incl Penny.)Hey, you miss 100% of the shots that you don't take.
Iggy was the wrong call, Jefferson was the wrong call...but they were exactly desperation plays. Losing Keenan Allen and Jamaal Williams to covid in about an hour, replacing them with crowder and either of the two DET garbage RB's almost cost me...at least I have Higbee going tonight!!!

What did I miss here? He was a back up, pure and simple.

3rd/4th stringer, you right

You're best guess, I'll hang up and listen
Oh, that’s right! The smartest man on Twitter scooped everyone, didn’t he? If Schefter Tweets, then it must be so.Thought he was going on IR?
****Chicken Little Running Back Alerrt**** (league winner inside)Just put "Fuh Reelz this time" in the thread title.
Not that I would play any Lions RB if Swift doesn’t play except Willams out of necessity. I hope Swift does go on IR since I don’t have him, but also hope he will be OK after week 17. Might not even do that if Carter is back.Oh, that’s right! The smartest man on Twitter scooped everyone, didn’t he? If Schefter Tweets, then it must be so.
I am dubious. But ya know, what? I’m just a pudgy guy in Brooklyn and he gets paid bazillions and has connections and sometimes he’s right. Go with the pro, kid.
I wrote at length on this in the Swift thread if anyone cares.
I’ve got four out rn (Carter + McKissic + Pollard + Swift & oh yeah Hock too)Not that I would play any Lions RB if Swift doesn’t play except Willams out of necessity.

not DetroitI survived! The almost TD almost fumble play he had was a lot of fun!
WHO IS STARTING IGWEBUIKE THIS WEEK?!?!?!%*€?!!
With the bottom feeder non playoff teams banned from my waiver wire, I may get a chance to swap out Iggy to get Reynolds. Even if Swift is back I think CR will make for good playoff insurance.not Detroit
The PFF highest graded RB for Week 14 is probably on your wire…
