**TNF on Prime - Rams 7-6 at Niners 6-7** (-2.5, 49) 8:15 (1 Viewer)

FF Playoffs Kickoff!

-MoP advice if you have short benches and you don't plan on playing the SF Defense as an example, CUT 'EM!
Still carrying around CMC or Mason right now, CUT 'EM!
Do not roster any SF/LAR you won't be playing on TNF, that is a loose rule during the season but it becomes especially important come Playoff time
You don't know what could happen at practices on Friday and suddenly someone is Doubtful heading into Sunday

Hopefully most of you that made the Playoffs have a pretty set starting roster going into the weekend
Maybe you're biggest decision is something like RB-Tracy/WR-Thomas in your last Flex spot or Ridley/JAMO as your WR3/4
 
Jauan Jennings...ranks 17th overall at WR much to my fascination
46-47 pt effort last time out vs the Rams and nobody really got to enjoy that, hardly anyone had him in their starting roster
Weeks 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8 leading into a week 9 Bye, virtually nothing from Jennings
17th Overall Wide Receiver in 2024 regular season

Week 10 and 11 saw 16 and 25, maybe some folks started to use him sparingly but again it's likely Week 10 he was at best on folks benches and some put him back on waivers
9, 8, 28 his last 3 games, nobody trust him in their line ups and mostly Jennings has been useless to FFMs this season

Who is going to gamble and start the No 17 WR overall on TNF? My guess is he rides the bench in most leagues this week or folks start chasing points again with JJ
Any thoughts on this guy tonight?

Looking at possibly starting Taylor (if Guerendo is out) without fully knowing Bucky's status for Sunday. Ugh.

I'm not a huge fan of this but it does seem like almost anyone can run behind this OL, that doesn't make CMC/Mason/Guerendo seem like special players
-They have one solid option on offense, Brock Purdy. As long as Purdy is upright and they can deploy Deebo-Jennings and Kittle, this would look to be a fairly high scoring game
In Best Ball, Taylor would have a lot more weight for me, I just hate to see folks inserting him in as a starting RB on such a crucial week
Bye weeks are over, most teams should already have a decent 1-2 punch, I think I need to see Taylor on TNF first, maybe he can hold down the fort the rest of the way but Guerendo would presumably be back after the foot sprain. And there is a danger of injury, we're on RB4/5 for the Niners now? Eventually the glass slipper must break, no?

Big gamble on Taylor, if this were Week 12 or something, fine but it's the Playoffs!
I also understand why some will roll the dice

SF running backs have been plug and play all year. But, how deep does the roster go? Starting a 4th string running back in the playoffs sounds tough… but it may be the only option for some of us.

I don't disagree, and I'm trying to stay away from WDIS, but my RB room is thin. Aaron Jones/Bucky are my clear starters. The only other options now are McCormick, who is also a risk, and Tracy, who I'm way down on this week. Taylor and Isaiah Davis on WW. If Bucky's out, I gotta start somebody!
 
Jennings will be in one of my lineups Thursday Night.
Not sure about Taylor
Had CMC/Guerendo rostered all year
Thank you Isaac for last week
Kamara and Jacobs at RB so Taylor may sit
I'm an "upside" leaner
Jennings gives me more upside than Taylor,imop
Also not sure how much I can trust Jayden Reed so Taylor is in
Should be a good competative game to watch
Niners have been pretty meh this year
Although last week they looked good
But there's something about Stafford and The Rams
I think they keep hope alive...

Rams- 29
Niners- 23

This is exactly why i started posting specific players for tonight, WDIS is a pretty loose topic and you didn't fire up a thread with player specifics for your roster
I think as long as you say something like "These 4 types of RBs on my roster, similar to others"...that opens th conversation up to a wider group and that's never frowned upon

-Plus its the Playoffs, the staff and the FBG site love to see folks doing well and sharing information.
I'll even help and share why i can't really pick up Taylor this week

Bijan-Monty-Pollard has been my 1-2-3 at RB most of the year, also have Tracy and yes Pacheco as my RB4 and 5, I'm old school ground and pound my way into the Playoffs
I can only start 3 of them, a few leagues I can flex a couple more of them but there really isn't room unless I release Tracy or Pacheco and I don't think I want to do that nor would I want to start Taylor in front of most of those guys

This would simply be a BLOCK so he doesn't land on other rosters, not sure I want to do that

Yeah, I'm sort of the opposite. Chase/Puka/McLaurin/Reed/Shakir carried my season. A. Jones plus a progression of Moss to Bigsby to Tracy has gotten me by. Traded Shakir for Bucky on TBs bye week, so I was looking set at RB. Just trying to piece together an RB2 for this week, which is why I'm fine if Taylor is just a one-off.
 
QB-Brock Purdy...most of you already know plenty about him
He was not someone on my radar at the Draft but when someone cut him early i the season after a down week or a couple avg weeks, I knew to grab him immediately
he missed a week with injury, otherwise he would be in the Top 10, he's close and on pts per game since I'll say Week 6...in fact if you go thru Weeks 1-5, I got him when he was under 20 pts a week the first 4 out of 5 weeks, so it's logical some decided to cut bait with him but that was a golden opportunity for someone like myself who drafted Tua Tags in rounds 9-12 and thought he was going to cruise at QB...the fact is Tua 30+ 4 weeks in a row and right now I have both of them on multiple rosters

I feel safer playing Purdy most weeks vs Tua. Purdy since Week 6: 32, 19, 30, 32, 22, 3(OOF!) and 29 last week and a pretty juicy match up vs the Rams where he cleared 30+ Wk 3
I would love to hear anyone that is faced with some type of a coin flip this week, feels like Purdy will easily need 250-300 yds passing wit a depleted RB stable.
One down side is Purdy only has multiple TDs in 4 games this year out 13/14, that's a little shaky
 
LT-Trent Williams is OUT
That's not good for Purdy trying to drop back and set up int he pocket trying to connect down field
Something to think about
 
Looking forward to the Stafford to Nacua show tonight. Only Nacua targets nobody else. Either that or the 49ers play boring ball control football and win 16-13 on TNF.
 
Bosa and Greenlaw are probably back (will need to check and see during pre-game). This may be limited to high leverage plays, but they definitely have an impact on how this game is played.
 
Jauan Jennings...ranks 17th overall at WR much to my fascination
46-47 pt effort last time out vs the Rams and nobody really got to enjoy that, hardly anyone had him in their starting roster
Weeks 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8 leading into a week 9 Bye, virtually nothing from Jennings
17th Overall Wide Receiver in 2024 regular season

Week 10 and 11 saw 16 and 25, maybe some folks started to use him sparingly but again it's likely Week 10 he was at best on folks benches and some put him back on waivers
9, 8, 28 his last 3 games, nobody trust him in their line ups and mostly Jennings has been useless to FFMs this season

Who is going to gamble and start the No 17 WR overall on TNF? My guess is he rides the bench in most leagues this week or folks start chasing points again with JJ
Any thoughts on this guy tonight?

I had him in an IR slot Weeks 7-8, started him Weeks 10-11. Week 12 Allen was the QB, easy decision. Week 13 was the Buffalo blizzard. Auto start last week & as long as I’m alive.

If Aiyuk is out & Purdy isn’t, you start him. Unless it’s white out lake effect snow.

PFF Top WR Grade - Season
  1. Collins
  2. Nacua
  3. AJB
  4. Jefferson
  5. Downs
  6. ARSB
  7. Jennings
Nobody is agonizing about whether they can trust Jennings. He’s been a top 8 every game since his breakout (when healthy, when he has a QB, when Aiyuk is out, when it’s not a snowpocalypse….other than all that it’s automatic lol.)
 
Bosa and Greenlaw are probably back (will need to check and see during pre-game). This may be limited to high leverage plays, but they definitely have an impact on how this game is played.
Honestly, I can't see why they'd bother bringing back Greenlaw now. They're cooked this season, and clearly he needs the extra time if he's still not 100% this late in the year. Just give him until next season.

Seattle 8-6...play Green Bay
San Fran 7-7
LARams 7-7
Arizona 7-7

That's what Sunday Night might look like

Fair comment but as always it depends on your options. I am wrestling with him vs Achane for example, which isn't cut and dried, especially in standard scoring.

FBGs has him WR7 this week. Another service I lean on has him WR6.

I feel like this could be a turn back to garbage Thursday games. Not that I dislike either team. It just feels like we've been spoiled on Thursdays for a bit and need that regression game reminder.

19-17 49ers? Something like that.
 
Bosa and Greenlaw are probably back (will need to check and see during pre-game). This may be limited to high leverage plays, but they definitely have an impact on how this game is played.
Honestly, I can't see why they'd bother bringing back Greenlaw now. They're cooked this season, and clearly he needs the extra time if he's still not 100% this late in the year. Just give him until next season.
Greenlaw is the heart and soul of the defense and sets the tone. Even if he's on a pitch count, just being back on the field is a huge boost to the defense's confidence, and the division is still wiiiiide open. If he can play, hes gonna play, at least until theyre eliminated from the playoffs. Theyre not gonna stop trying while theyre still in the hunt.
 
I was watching David Lombardi live on Twitter, he was giving updates and said Guerendo is 100% playing, no pre game test needed.

Forward to 20:45 into the video:

Yeah Schefty this morning on ESPN said he was pretty sure Guerendo was gonna be ready. He just tweaked the same foot he had Lisfranc issues with before and was nervous he did the same thing. Apparently the foot feels fine now and will be 100% good to go.
 
I think the Rams have a letdown game after such a big game against Buffalo. I think they come out flat, and I think SF comes out hot, especially on defense with the returns of Bosa and Greenlaw.

I think Puka Nucua gets his, but I think the rest of the Rams are likely going to be a bit TD dependent. I think SF shuts down the run and gets consistent pressure on Stafford.

For SF, I expect a pass heavy script given the RB room (I expect Guerendo to start but think its close to a 50-50 split) I think we could see a lot more RB Deebo, especially early as the squeaky wheel. Ultimately though I expect the offense to run through Jennings/Kittle. The Rams are really bad against TEs, and Kittle can destroy teams who are excellent against TEs. I think Purdy, Jennings, and Kittle are all great starts, and wouldn't be opposed to still using Deebo as a WR3.

I think this is a surprise blowout, as SF reestablishes themselves as the team nobody wants to play if they make the playoffs.

49ers-35
Rams-14
 
Bosa ACTIVE
FF Defense tonight for SF? Sneaky w/Bosa back in the cuts

I'll share my thoughts about tonight. At least early I expect to see the Niners come out swinging, they have to win out and take the West to make the Playoffs.
You always say they're cooked and you might be right but the players in that locker room don't buy that so i think they play pretty hard most of the night

But my gut says the Rams win tonight, I think they can win most of their remaining games and possibly go 11-6/10-7a nd I don't believe in Seattle
30-27 or something like that tonight. Could be a little slippery out there with some light rain int he 1st Half

What's your take on the game tonight, Stafford typically struggles vs SF, what's gonna change tonight?
Thanks!
 
Must Start
-Kyren Williams, Puka Nacua, Cooper Kupp and George Kittle

Good Starts but not Top Shelf
-Brock Purdy, Jauan Jennings (Bobby makes a convincing argument) and Guerendo would seem like a solid RB2 option/RB3-Flex

Flex at best
Deebo

Sit 'em
-Stafford(not awful but you must have better options), DRob, Persall, Patrick Taylor and both the SF and LA Team Defenses

Good Luck everyone

Didn't Jennings go bezerk in their first matchup?
 
Greasy wheel gets the grease type of game with Deebo?
I don't think so. One reason is that it's a must win game, so they will not placate Deebo. Other reason is he probably isn't back next year, so no need to go outside your game plan.

He may get more targets but don't think it will be because he complained about it.
 
Light rain starting in about 30 minutes
Stick with Moody or pivot?
I always like Kickers in high scoring games
Bates man myself
My other Kicker is Tucker and he has been off
Ravens are going to score a lot of points I would think vs the Giants, TDs, XPs,

-But Moody is really good and I don't think there is a lot of gusty wind tonight
:oldunsure:

Sticking with Moody .. think Ravens score more TDs than FG .. could see a 35-10 game
