You kinda have to ride Henry in that scenario, right? Giants give up a lot of 100yd rushing games. I think either choice is TD dependant and Cam Newton is looking soft this week
No one will ever miss them when they're gone. They're like the wisdom teeth.l of this silly game.
My opponent's RBs 2-4: Justin Jackson, Damien Williams, Marlon Mack.
5 touchdowns already.
Sigh. Why do I do this to myself.

Man... I'm having some trouble deciding on my flex spot. Dante Pettis, Jeff Wilson or Chris Carson? I have Seattle's defense, so it will feel shitty playing a 49er, but whatever. Carson feels like the best choice
EBRON finally with a point for you, me and my colts
Edit: damn 2 plays later a TD taken from him cause of a defensive hold shoot.
Pretty sad when my Defense(Bears) and Kicker(Tucker) has more points together than Cohen, Theilen, Hilton, Kelce and Cooper combined.
It was a fun season all!!

He had 10 days to recover. This was a pretty much a bye week's worth of rest for him.
Somehow I have a fantasy team on the verge of making the championship game finale. If you had of told me that 3 weeks ago, I would have said you were nuts. Especially when it's the team where I had OBJ as my first round pick and he's been taking a sabbatical.
Bad week for Big Ben to have his second worse game of the season in fantasy. I knew it was a long shot beating the top guy in the league, but I was feeling pretty good after Williams got three TDs on Thursday. Almost everyone under performed after that. Would need McCaffrey, Ertz and Kuechly all to considerably beat projections to win.
Man I'm so depressed. Both of my teams fell apart big time on me today. My projections were to win by 50 and 30 going into today and both just crashed and burned. It seems like most of my players had either their worst or second-worst game of the season this week. Ben, Saquon, Thielen, Smith-Schuster, Lindsay, Cohen, Kittle...plus of course Mack finally puts up points today.
Sucks even more because I was in first most of the season and the same thing happened to me last year. Not sure I feel like even trying for it again next year after this. I figured at least one team would survive the wreckage.
Sorry for the vent...

This is the worst time of year, but also the best sometimes.
I made 4 semis but injuries really fucked me up. Was a huge underdog in 3 and a big favorite in one, so ofc I got bodied in that league.
Good news is that if CMC doesn't go for 30+ tomorrow I'll make at least one championship game.

Never mind, I survived, lol. #8 seed upsets the #1 seed.
Thanks Carson and my fluky pick-up of Samuels. I likely won't get to use him next week, though.
be me this morning: 14-0, highest scoring team in the league, feelin good
me rn:
fuck my fucking life
benched my Vikings D because Tannehill was rolling, streamed Giants because I figured Henry just had a fluke game.
Defense cost me 13 points, the Thielin egg KILLS ME, and Henry went off anyways which double hurt.

Needing 12.5 from McCaffrey tomorrow in half-PPR. Should be doable, but you never know.
I probably should lose for gambling my whole season on Jared Goff actually throwing a touchdown. Figured the Eagles secondary was garbage. Probably got a little unlucky with those short goal line situations.

Rams garbage time stats made my chances slim to impossible.
Down by 19 with Brees and Kamara left to opponents McCaffrey and Thomas.
And another league i need a 40 pointer from Kamara. I ride or die with Mahomes all seadon and now I'll have to wait til next season to get a chance to win a fantasy football league

Grats, dude! Yeah, I'm not out entirely yet afterall, even though most of my team was pretty awful this week. I'm down 4, have CMC left while opponent has Cam. Definitely doable, but we'll see.
I figured he'd have a "good" week against the Giants, maybe pick up a few over projection, but not triple his projection, haha. :(
Got a bit of a quandary to wrap up a title. I'm up 1.5 going into tonight, and my opponent has no players left. I have Ian Thomas (Car TE). Do I play him, or bench him for fear of a fumble or two (worth -2, but catches are .5).
Basically, are the odds greater of Thomas playing and fumbling twice, or of a 2 point stat correction that makes me a loser.
Need 12 from McCaffrey and Thomas in a separate .5 PPR semifinal - feel pretty good about that.

I would play him. Even in the unlikely event that he fumbles a bunch, he'll likely get some yardage (plus receptions in any kind of PPR format) along with those fumbles to offset them. You don't want to be the guy that lost a fantasy championship match due to a scoring correction when you had a chance to pad your lead and decided to get cute.
I looked back at the weekly Tight End stats this season to see if there were any outliers along these lines... Mike Gesicki caught one pass for 5 yards and then fumbled for the Dolphins back in Week 12 (would have finished with -1 points in your scoring format). Some other guys caught a pass or two for negative yardage (but nowhere near 20). That's it. I think you can feel safe about starting him.
Yeah you're totally right and that's the way I was leaning. Thanks for the research.
After 17 pts from my kicker and 27.3 from KC 3rd string RB I only need Cam to make me 8.6 points tonight and I win my playoff game.
I was bitten by the Keenan Allen 0-fer but Joe Mixon and Marlon Mack saved my ass. Running backs are still the business. I've been getting lucky all season. Onto the finals.

Cam's been struggling so much of late I didn't even want to chance agonizing over him having to deliver tonight... even with a cushy (on paper, but not based on recent performance) matchup. I benched him for Josh Allen just so I didn't have to deal with that anxiety.
My stacked as hell roster may lose to some absolute scrub in the playoffs. I was Projected to win 117-93, not looking so hot now.
JuJu Smitth Schuster, Gronkowski and Janakowski combined for 11 points in the afternoon games which totally fucked me.
I need Saints Defense, Alvin Kamara, and Christian McCaffery to score one more point than Drew Brees (standard scoring) and I win but I just have a terrible feeling that inst going to happen.

I think I should be ok. He would have to have his worst game of the year. The 10 pts he did against Cleveland last week even gets me the win tonight.
Well any Brees dump offs to Kamara should help you big time.
I feel for ya. Also #1 seed, highest scoring team all season long.
Fournette, Juju, Thielen, and Gronk all laid eggs for me, and I was projected to win by over 30.
Now I am up 17 with Wil Lutz yet to play for me, and I'm going against Kamara in a PPR. Each of the past 5 weeks, I would win with this scenario, but not feeling too confident with how the week has gone so far
Down by 5. I have Kamara. He has Newton. It's totally possible for me to win this, but put buddy on the field.
