Love this guy. Much love for the Buffalo players in the pros. Hard worker, doesn't have all of the classic measurables but dude is a player.

Thoughts on him today with Cook banged up and in a game that’s looking like a shootout? I have a Roladex at WR3 with Jeudy out and I’m considering him over the likes of Waddle, Mooney, Shenault and Patrick. Surprised he’s not getting more buzz this week.

Wish the SP had done a better job pumping this guy so I'd have picked him up after week 1. 
@Man In The Box I'd consider him over those guys for sure. They clearly are involving him and he has Cousins trust.

The relationship between Conklin's production and Osborne is noticeable.

Threw a claim in on him to keep him away from my opponent; seems a decent bet for numbers this week with thicken (ok phone I’m leaving it) out.
More curious if there’s any long-term upside here. Thielens contract doesn’t look like he’s going anywhere for a year or two at least so you’d be betting on decline

I need to start 3 in a must win to get the last seed of the playoffs. Pray for me!

Picked him up and he's on the active roster in a must win situation. Deebo and Julio are the other options but I doubt word will come down for those guys soon enough to bench KJ.

I personally believe Osborn is the better play, even with the WR troubles for the Chargers. Ekeler might get 20 targets in this game. I don't think I can trust Guyton in an important fantasy game.
I think Osborn gets more volume and is a more complete WR. FWIW, he has a higher pff grade 61 to 53.

On 29 Targets he compiled 22/291/3TDs and did it pretty steady, nothing that says "Take that 1 catch away" and I think he should be open tonight with Jefferson drawing much of the attention.

Landry has maybe had 1 game on the level Osborn has produced. I listed the totals he has produced in his 4 games where he saw 29 targets total...how many targets is Osborn a s a rookie going to see behind JJ and Thielen all year plus Kirk "He's with us" Cousins throwing the football you never know what horrific play will limit your opps. Stil a better option than Baker Mayfield I would say.
But I understand, the Ravens are running Ronald McDonald and The Hamburgler out there at DB and Landry is the best Cleveland has at WR...I get it. Think long and hard about it.

He's been hurt a good chunk of the season, and now doesn't have OBJ to share targets with. He still lacks a receiving TD on the season. The positive for me is that I don't really need to win this. At this point it's just jockeying for playoff seeding, and I don't know if I'm better off winning or losing.

I grabbed him as my WR6 this week just to keep him off someone else's roster, could even release him right before kickoff if I really don't think I'll use him.
The reason I am more inclined to keep him is that Thielen IMO is likely to miss a couple games and Osborn has looked pretty good in limited numbers of snaps, targets, etc...however you slice it, Osborn had had games you would be fortunate to get from a starter way ahead of him in projections.
Tonight is not a slam dunk and TNF seems to bring out the worst some weeks for stats but most things would point to him having a decent tonight.
I saw a floor of 5/50, they gotta have this game tonight or its curtains for the Head Coach as early as Friday Morning, don't kid yourself. They are running Kubiak's offense and I think he is still working as a consultant of sorts and so i could see him assuming controls for the last 4 weeks just to see what happens for the off season.

I think Kirk Cousins has helped his team this year more than hurt them. He's been better than some of the QBs that are considered elite.

12-16 as a Starter 2020 and 2021, I'm not saying you're wrong or nothing, and it was more of a lighthearted joke, I sure hope you haven't put the Hex on him tonight

I don't have him in fantasy, but I hope I didn't hex him too.I sure hope you haven't put the Hex on him tonight
Ha, I just went through lineups and had to make that call in 4 leagues.
I wish I could help, really not sure, I split it up and went 2-2.
Sometimes when I'm this close I'll look for the smallest stuff to sway me one way and if I absolutely had to decide on one I'd take Gallup in part based on fact good chance Pollard is not playing or limited and they don't or can't hand off to a worn out ailing Zeke. Minny on a Thursday night game with both backs playing might run it 30 times.

Surprised by all the ppl starting Osborn over Gallup. I also had the same dilemma, although it was moreso start Osborn in case Melvin Gordon doesnt play. I personally never considered starting Osborn over Gallup, as this game tonight could be a bit ugly plus the brutal thurs night whereas I expect the DAL game to be high scoring or at worst them playing catch up mode.

Gotta love getting to pickup a player this late and he goes for a long TD in Prime Time.

Picked up Osborn with Keenan Allen questionable to play. Had Van Jefferson but thought he was a risky play MNF. Had an extra roster spot so took up KJ and hit. I also have Dalvin Cook which means I had a great night. Good match ups this week and if I win and the guy above me loses I sneak into the playoffs. Free league so I''m kind of hoping he wins and I can win the losers bracket and get first pick. Our league screwed up on our keeper league and not everyone kept the required players so some of the managers got FREE Extra Picks and It screwed up everyone else.
Either way I was one of the teams who followed the rules but I was more screwed based on players not playing well beginning of the year and some bad match ups where the guys I played had their best week for their team and I'd beat others that week. Just bad luck all around this year. More PO'd with my $100 play in league Scoring is real whacked wasn't told it was $100 till the draft and keep 2 players and depending where you had those players you keep you lose that pick. Not sure if I''m gonna play in that league next year but win and I'm in. if I win maybe I stay or top 3.

The thing i took away last night was there was more on the table and we know Thielen is likely to miss multiple games from early reports. I'd like to see Osborn get another crack in the starting line up but it should be noted 3 for 9 is not a good ration and some fo the throws were off but I also felt he played a part in one of the interceptions and that won't help in the film room and game planning...but he is a rookie and quite sensational. You can line Osborn, Thielen and JJ in 3-Wide Sets, it's almost not fair. Dalvin Cook is your SuperBack, how in hell's bells does this team ever lose a football game?
