I would not want to play any Seahawks players against SF this week, unless I’m missing something about their rush defense

Yea I’m avoiding Walker this week. Hoping he’s fully healthy next week though.

I changed my mind.
I'm not sorry.
Texted two people about what they thought regarding the trade deadline. They ignored me. I left the group chat, I'm planning to quit the league as soon as I'm eliminated, and the more I think about this the more mad I'm going to be.

Problem is they're a friend group that's closer and I'm one of the odd ones out. If it was anyone in the group they'd definitely feel differently.

Hoping Lamar, Achane, Pollar, CeeDee, Evans, Pittman, Puka, and Patty Fri is enough to Will me to a Bye.

Any word on Walker? I'm hoping he's back this week, but figuring he's going to share a lot of load with Charbonet.

Impossible to tell since the Seahawks and Carroll are so opaque and nonsensical about injuries. Both could play, neither, could play, one or the other could play. Check tomorrow's reports.

I don’t hate Doubs going forward with Watson out. He’s first guy on my bench and I am happy with that.

Roschon Johnson is sitting on the waiver wire right now. With Terry on Bye and Walker hurt, I’m currently running with London and Spears in my flex spots. He worth a matchup against the Lions enough to probably have to drop Saints defense and slot in?

Mother FUCKER

Edit: watching the game it wasn’t a bad call. Diontae has a single catch for a TD and the offense looks like poo poo with Mitch throwing.

Zeke, though…didn’t see that coming. As a Rhamondre owner who dropped him for Houston DST…gulp.

Watching Zeke smash with Rhamondre dead is a good summary of how this season has gone for me at RB across every league. Starters suck rear end and/or get hurt, I have 4 backups on my bench, none of them are the right backup though and they just clog up space for 14 weeks

Like if I had rolled the dice on Zeke instead of Rico Dowdle a few weeks ago I’d be sitting pretty. Oh well. They’re called lottery tickets for a reason

I did the same thing last year sitting on Rachaad White and Jaylen Warren all year waiting for the starter to lose his job

DOES NOT RESPECT THE RUN

BUT THEY WILL
Grabbed Zeke in 2 of my 3 leagues this week, forgot they were playing tonight or I probably would have started him in one of them. On the one hand it doesn't matter because I'm locked in as the 1 seed in one league and exiled from the playoffs in the other. But man, I wish I had played him in the league where I'm out of the playoffs as it would have improved my chances of knocking my opponent out too. Dang.

There is a fatal flaw in counting on bad luck havers to come through…….

I would have been thrilled to play Zeke this week but in one league he was drafted and held all year by a huge Pats homer (the team that did this is 2-11 lol) and in another he was picked up weeks ago as a bench lotto ticket. Which annoyingly paid off for a good luck haver :argh:

Dear diary, I got another erection today at work. SO embarrassing, but kinda hot. The CO asked me to fix up his dress uniform. I had stayed late at work to move his badges 1/8" to the left and pointed it out this morning. 1SG spanked me while the CO watched, once they caught it. Tomorrow I get to start all over again...
Here I was thinking I was pretty safe going against Henry. Motherfucker had his game of the century.

Playing the worst team in the league who has been tanking since Week 5, is 1-12, but now is guaranteed 1st pick next year so he’s back to trying to win again.

Guess who picked up and started Zeke? Looks like this isn’t going to be the cakewalk I thought it would be.

Honestly mate if Jefferson doesn’t get at least 13 or whatever points, then he took all that time off for naught. His floor this season has been 20, while 13 seems to be close to Diontae’s ceiling this season

TBH I respect that level of commitment to griefing once the tank is locked up. Most people would just log off. You’ve got a pro troll in your midst

I have to admit that I love our tanking rules in our 14-team league. If you have the first or second worst record, you don’t draft there next year, you draft eighth and seventh respectively. 1-6 draft spots are reserved for the winners of the toilet bowl.

Really has cut down on the deliberate tanking.

Yeah the league is predominantly Jewish and we have a few IDF fans, and a few folks got mad at my pro Pal charity donations on IG / FB so I guess that's where this hatred is coming from.

If I win I'm donating half or so to Palestinian charities.

You should drop your team too. Unless you know these guys IRL and want to maintain a friendship with any of them, but otherwise just throw a grenade.

I’m all for anti-tanking rules but this sounds incredibly punishing if someone actually has a bad team and is doing their best.

Over the years we’ve tried different methods and ultimately just decided to pull the ripcord on trying to stop tanking. It will always happen and there’s no fair fix for it that isn’t just “well the league thinks you’re tanking, you MUST start your best players.”

The best we’ve come up with is that you at least have to field a full active roster. And in a keeper league, sure you can drop someone to pick up a third string nobody, but with small benches you risk dropping someone who could provide keeper value into the season you’re trying to tank for.

The solution to tanking is to not reward the teams for having a worse record.

In my dynasty league the top 4 teams make the playoffs and the 6 who don’t get entered in a lottery for the top 6 spots in the draft.

Problem solved
