So as a guy that started Latavius and is probably without both OBJ and Alshon this week, are we expecting Murray to eventually get credited with those 24 receiving yards? I could really use those points.

I am, I have no idea why they adjusted it in the first place. SD declined the penalties because time expired, so I have no idea why the stats on the play wouldn't count.

If you have or are playing against Cooper or Murray and the result is within 3 pts, don't get too comfortable with your victory/defeat.

It will be cleared up and made official in the Thursday morning stat corrections.

I noticed a thread on Reddit about a stat correction adding 13 rushing yards to Denard Robinson last week. AFAIK, stat corrections have to be in by Thursday to affect results in Yahoo, so I don't think it'll affect anyone on Yahoo, right? Is that the case for other sites? Anybody get into or kicked out of the championship game because of that?

Yahoo's rules are that any corrections after Thursday morning aren't official for fantasy leagues.

Who would you suggest swapping out? Cooks, Ginn, White or Tate?

SET A COURSE FOR
THE FLAVOR QUADRANT

Drunk Nerds posted:

Yes that Latavius adjustment is approaching scandalous levels of attention. Just a quick summary:

- Murray catches a 24 yard pass on the last play of the half
- Two penalties on the play against the Raiders. The referee announced BOTH were declined, because it would end the half either way so SD didn't really give a poo poo, so the play stood
- NFL.com website has one of the penalties as being accepted, which takes away the play.
- The whole thing is obfuscated by the fact that it was a lateral play, where Murray lateraled it to another player after his catch and run, and that it was the last play of the half AND a fourth down play (causing speculation about whether the old "half can end on an offensive penalty, but not a defensive one applies since the offense/defenses switched after the fourth down play). Neither of these actually affects anything. Also the fact that it's the holidays means there arent a lot of NFL employees who care to give enough of a poo poo to examine things.

What we know:
- Both penalties could legally have been declined, as per the NFL rulebook.
- FF on Yahoo and ESPN have the play as not counting, Rotoworld has it counting

I thought you were kidding, but I see a bunch of people mentioning it on Twitter. Here too: https://www.reddit.com/r/fantasyfootball/comments/3y5mig/latavis_murray_stat_correction/

If I lose by more than 2.4 points, my Murray Christmas will be ruined. ;)

With OBJ out my WR situation is looking pretty sad. I currently have Larry Fitz and R. Randle slated to start with these options on the wire (standard scoring):

W. Snead vs. Jac
J. Matthews vs. Was
M. Wheaton vs. Bal
N. Washington vs. Ten
S. Diggs vs. NYG
J. Kearse vs. STL

And it just gets worse from there. Basically I have my choice between a bunch of number 3 receivers, minus diggs I guess.

Ginn has burned me too many teams in fantasy football I instantly start gaging when I mouse over for his stats. Plus he has a habit of turning out low target games using the mighty powers of Ted Ginn Jr. loving fantasy football owners

Diggs is interesting because week 16 only has playoff implications for Min if GB beats Arizona. Then it's a must win game and they won't rest AP. If GB loses, which is at least very possible, the week 17 head to head with GB becomes a must win, and Min might give AP a light workload or keep him off the field. Then Diggs could have a pretty decent game. It's almost impossible to set lineups with this in mind, though.

I mean if you think Artis-Payne is the lead back as long as JStew is out (which I do), then it's a pretty compelling argument that he is safer than Miller.

That being said I usually break ties on talent. Artis-Payne is a JAG, Miller might be one of the most talented RBs in the league. He can do a lot with a little.

I mean due to lack of good options it might be. Gio and Allen are more than capable of putting up a goose egg or less than 3 points. Delmarco doesn't get playing time since he fondled chip kellys wife of whatever happened in philly. Plus I think the bills are going to kill Dallas so they'll be playing from ahead and running more.

The only thing about playing Gurley is that, yes, you don't play RBs against Seattle right now....but it's a divisional game. I don't see it being the blowout everybody is predicting.

DJax over Green is easy, and I'd seriously consider Hurns over Gurley, especially if PPR and especially if Hurns sounds like his health is even marginally better today or tomorrow morning.

I know this; my question was whether people who saw the play expected a correction to be made.

I might be down to starting Snead and loving CMike now that OBJ and likely Alshon are out :( Would anyone start any of Hillman, Ware, or Artis-Payne over those guys in standard? I feel like CAP is the best option but I also have Cam and don't love the idea of starting both of them.

The final in my 8-teamer is forcing me to ask questions I never imagined I would be asking.

Full PPR 6pt TDs

B. Roethlisberger @ Baltimore
B. Bortles @ New Orleans

A. Rodgers @ Arizona

I don't really think this is even a question. Just posting it so I can :shepicide: at benching my 1st round pick in the finals.

Julio Jones vs. Carolina
Allen Robinson @ New Orleans

Brandon Marshall vs. New England
Alshon Jeffery @ Tampa Bay

Thank you Alshon for taking away the one easy option. Jones did better in his first game against Carolina than Marshall did in his first game against New England, plus I don't think I can stomach benching my 1st AND 2nd rounder.

Devonta Freeman vs. Carolina
?????

Todd Gurley @ Seattle
Denard Robinson @ New Orleans

I just don't have the slightest idea. I hate having so much locked into so few games(if I start Denard then 7 of my 9 starters will be in 2 games), but that Seattle matchup is brutal. Gurley wasn't playing yet for their first matchup, so there is nothing to even base a guess on.

Some dude on reddit did a massive effortpost about fantasy qb points after this type of injury and it was not good. I'm not high on brees at all but cousins is playing well.

Would anyone bench carolina for pittsburgh D? I have julio so that complicates things, even though they both did well last time around.

I would just play Cousins for what it's worth. Brees is too risky for my tastes.

And personally I would stick with Carolinas defense. They've been really solid up to now. And hey if Julio gets shut down by them you get the consolation of more defense points.

Yeah, I've got Brees and Cousins in a league and just going with Cousins to be safe.

For another league, would anyone sit Aaron Rodgers @ Arizona for Cousins @ Philadelphia? I am having a really hard time benching Rodgers, but I think I would without hesitation if Cousins was at home.
