They said Monty is day to day but even if he is out I'm not convinced Gibbs won't backup reynolds.Despite the Monty injury?Gibbs

Reasonable, but if you drafted Gibbs with the expectation that he would be a 20 carry a game workhorse then that seems like faulty processThey said Monty is day to day but even if he is out I'm not convinced Gibbs won't backup reynolds.Despite the Monty injury?Gibbs

Gibbs
Seems like a backup RB for the Lions so should be a backup RB for my fantasy team.
He went in the 3rd round of drafts. I am fairly certain everyone expected him to be a starting RB for fantasy. Nobody expected him to get 20 carries a game.Reasonable, but if you drafted Gibbs with the expectation that he would be a 20 carry a game workhorse then that seems like faulty processThey said Monty is day to day but even if he is out I'm not convinced Gibbs won't backup reynolds.Despite the Monty injury?Gibbs

Campbell said hes day to day. Regardless, Id say Gibbs is a bench if Monty plays but yes I would give him one more week if Monty is out.Gibbs

Montgomery is injured and might miss 1-3 weeks.
…I’m giving Pitts one more week. If anything I’m just punishing myself for drafting him in the first place.Benching Pitts. I don’t care that it’s a crapshoot at TE. There’s a better chance the flavor of the week TE I pick up off waivers gets more usage than Pitts has been getting so far. It’s sickening. I can’t believe the Falcons drafted this guy 4th overall to use him the way they are.
Although I also dropped Gabe Davis, and he punished me by going off today for another team. The lesson here: Don’t be me.
Agreed. He’s being replaced by Brian Robinson Jr in my RB2 spot. It’s a shame too as I was positive Pierce was going to have a year.Pierce is getting demoted from the flex for the foreseeable future.
I don’t think anyone in dynasty is selling low.So is now a good time to make offers for Gibbs in dynasty? I have a real hard time thinking people are that down on him.
No redrafts here, only dynasty.
Reynolds received zero opportunities while Monty was healthy and Gibbs saw 33% of the RB opportunities.They said Monty is day to day but even if he is out I'm not convinced Gibbs won't backup reynolds.Despite the Monty injury?Gibbs

People treat that like it's Gibbs fault. Nothing out of the Lions this off season suggested Gibbs would step in to a lead role or even a 50% time share. People pinned all their hopes on draft capital and completely ignored the Lions giving Monty a top of market contract ($2 mil more than Jamaal got with New Orleans).He went in the 3rd round of drafts.

Unless you know a manager who makes bad decisions I doubt it. People aren't selling in redraft, where there should be legitimate concerns, so I highly doubt he has lost any value in dynasty.So is now a good time to make offers for Gibbs in dynasty?

I’m literally totally baffled by this team using two prime first round picks on players that they just use as decoys. The worst part of it is they play in a lousy division and win just enough that there most likely won’t be a change in philosophy anytime soonThe problem is the want to win the game by running, running, running. The coach is older than old school. They pass when necessary despite the great talent of he and London. Those 2 in another offense are gold but on Atlanta they are decoys.In a similar vein, I'll be starting Kincaid over Pitts. I haven't given up on Pitts, but he's on my bench until further notice. Not sure what's going on there behind the scenes.Probably starting LaPorta over Kittle until further notice.
They were also down a lot and reynolds isn't a receiving back. The pecking order is clear as mud.Reynolds received zero opportunities while Monty was healthy and Gibbs saw 33% of the RB opportunities.They said Monty is day to day but even if he is out I'm not convinced Gibbs won't backup reynolds.Despite the Monty injury?Gibbs

When Monty got hurt Gibbs saw 66% of the RB usage and Reynolds 33%
The pecking order seems very clear.

For someone like me who doesn't love, breathe, and die with every piece of fantasy news I just follow the experts and these boards. He was consensus 3rd rounder. I never saw Gibbs play a single down in my life. I don't watch college football.

The fault was always with the expectation.

I have mostly learned my lesson and rarely do changes Sunday morning barring last second injuries.I am giving up on me. I made the worst start/sit decisions yesterday morning.
In one league I benched gabe davis, nico collins, and jake ferguson and in another league i benched lockett and la'porta. The guys i put in were complete scrubs, pierce, jeudy, etc.
I had the lineups right all week and then for some reason decided to go and edit them last minute.
I gave up on watching football half way through the day and cleaned house and caught up on my to-do list, gutters etc.![]()
Sunday morning I took out: Mostert, Josh reynolds and geno smith ant put in richardson, burks,and breece hall......... over 50 points left on my bench :(I have mostly learned my lesson and rarely do changes Sunday morning barring last second injuries.I am giving up on me.

I am still an idiot at times though, like last Sunday 10 min before kickoff. Out goes Puca and in goes Daulton Kincaid

Backup? They spent the #12 overall pick on a backup? I’ve seen where people were taking him in the 3rd of redrafts. Your expectations were way too high if that’s what happened. He’s a rookie and they’re still finding his role. I expect rb2 numbers by mid season. Classic early season overreaction.Gibbs

I likely have to drop him since Ford and Sky Moore are on my wire,Dotson moving from WR2 to the bench. Hoping for one or two good games from him so I can attempt to move him for anything... or otherwise he's back on the wire.
He doesn’t need to be the starter. He isn’t built for 25+ touches a game. Again, he was grossly over drafted from what I’ve seen. The one league I got him in , I got him in the 5th.He's definitely not the starter. That's MontgomeryBackup? They spent the #12 overall pick on a backup?

No. He has a specific role that is evolving. Montgomery has his role. Drop him if you want. Start better options if you think you have them. I’m more than confident you’ll regret it if you drop him.OK so you agree with me that's he a backup?He doesn’t need to be the starter. He isn’t built for 25+ touches a game.

I know this is probably more of an assistant coach question—but to the Shark Pool—and especially to frustrated Jamar Chase redraft owners. I am thinking about making a couple trade offers for Chase in my 0.5pt ppr. These would be the potential offers I would be able to make. Do these sound fair, do they sound like an underpay, or do they sound like an overpay?
Mark Andrews for Jamar Chase
or
Terry Mclaurin+ Tyler Algier for Jamar Chase.
Actually, just gave up on Sutton for a waiver move.Worried about but not giving up on Dotson & Sutton.
Welp, maybe not now with the Chubb injuryPierce is getting demoted from the flex for the foreseeable future.
If any consolation I do it a lot & usually my first instincts are correct, not my last minute brain surges right before gametime.I am giving up on me. I made the worst start/sit decisions yesterday morning.

This is a true thing. Week 1 I did the usual swaps right before kick-off and moved about 40 points to my bench. Scored 86 points. Week 2 comes around and after watching the Sunday morning Fantasy Football shows I went to make my last minute changes. Ooof, my internet was down. Scored 196 points.

In the same boat. Since I'm eternally optimistic, I'm blaming the O-line and hoping the few good throws from a clean pocket are a sign of things to come, but I'm close.Just about there with Watson. He hasn't looked to be the same since he returned last year, and that was with a highly credible running game with Chubb. Now that he basically has to take the offense on his shoulders, just not seeing it.
I dont think you are offering enough.I know this is probably more of an assistant coach question—but to the Shark Pool—and especially to frustrated Jamar Chase redraft owners.

Yeah. I am a big fan of Jefferson but for whatever reason its just not happening.Van Jefferson. Took a late round flier on him,, will look for younger WR that may break out in the next month.
Yeah just stick with what you had earlier in the week unless a late report of a player you have being inactive. Thats the only type of change to make on Sunday.Sunday morning I took out: Mostert, Josh reynolds and geno smith ant put in richardson, burks,and breece hall......... over 50 points left on my bench :(
