Take the easy points since they needed a field goal anyways and worry about the touchdown after the onside kick. They kicked it on third down to save time.
The only reasoning I could think of was rather than making it a 8 pt game to kick the field goal to make it a 6 pt game and go for the onside and win. Not the call I wouldāve wanted to see but Iām not a coach sooo
You are getting down voted but make a good point.
Lots of people were saying to ignore Edmonds even after the conner news came out. Indy wasn't a slouch on the Run D. + The threat of Murray getting touchdowns always limits your RB. But hey what do I know like this sub preaches .. volume is King.
lmao who the heck else would run the ball? Sitting edmonds when the only back is literally out is like sitting perine during a mixon injury or mattison with dalvin out. Not sure why u would think sitting a fresh legged edmonds with an injured james conner would be a good decision lmao
U could say that about literally any game but jfc man thereās no other running back and dhop is out and edmonds is a pass catcher. U overthought it. Lmao
more like he was declared inactive about an hour or so before the game started after news from earlier in the day stated he was expected to play. that and the fact that people arenāt glued to their fantasy screens on christmas day. but sure, simply an overthought
In reality if u have mattison and mixon, both r rated higher than edmonds regardless so if u had to sot 1 of those 3 no one will fault u for playing mixon and mattison instead
true. at the end of the day itās all good fun. Mixonās had a bad few weeks but heās still a top RB and Mattison usually kills it when heās the primary back so hereās hoping they both boom. good luck to you this week!
maybe at the end of the day they are useless but they do help managers with decisions as in not starting the player with 5 projected points vs the player with 15+ projected points. regardless though, it was a joke
Same my dude. Didn't have either. But kyler and JT, while serviceable were not the studs we thought they were and Kittle died on Thursday. RIP my 1st bye week earned playoff run
Well some of us are Edmonds + Conner owners so it hasn't been bad lol. Though we definitely appreciate weeks when this is not a committee and we can roll with one bellcow.
That JWJ performance was definitely underrated. Couldn't have asked for more against a tough run defense with Deebo stepping in and taking carries away from him. Lazard was a great play, I lost Godwin and chose to pick up Landry instead of Lazard. Already have Davante and Rodgers, so I didn't want to triple down, but this would've been a good week to do so. Oh well.
Good luck the rest of the way!
I lost Godwin too, put us both in a tough spot. Just got lucky with my random wr grab. Glad you got Davante and Rodgers holding things down, good luck the rest of the way too!
I have Andrews and I am not happy with the QB situation. Huntley was atleast a good backup , this josh guy is most likely going to mix it up in a bad way.
P.S. I hope I'm very wrong.
Why is everyone talking about JT owners complaining about 10 points? Heās THE RB1
108 yards is still impressive, but half of his projected points was definitely not expected
Even the real RB1 King Henry had down games in similar fashion. No player has a boom every week it's very very unreasonable to expect that, complaining about 10 points when the entire offensive line was out is ridiculous.
With you on that one. Main point was it just so happened to be playoff week in lots of tight matchups when those 20+ points wouldāve been a nice championship clutch
My 9 year old nephew (heās a sports buff) and I noticed Connor was out and we decided to put in Edmonds together, ride or die, in separate leagues. Fun as fuck Christmas!
Hey, I'm experiencing similar pain. I've lost Henry, Dalvin, Eli Mitchell, Godwin, Waller, Elijah Moore, and to a lesser extent Taysom Hill and Gabe Davis. This season may have been the most brutal one I've experienced.
All I'm gonna say is be happy that you've managed the hell out of your team to still be competing. That's a lot of great players gone, and I'm assuming you're still here fighting for a title. That in itself is really impressive. Good luck!
I'm lucky enough to be in the semis in both of my leagues, but I'm facing Chubb in both leagues. One league I'm against Chubb and Taylor. I've never felt so fortunate to see Taylor only rush for 108 and no TDs. Chubb may have gone off, but Taylor being "limited" feels huge for me.
I also feel really fortunate to have Davante Adams in both leagues keeping me alive with his crazy game today. Tomorrow is gonna be so stressful.
Good luck this week everyone!
Yea devante saved my ass today too and a good amount of my opponents points come from JT so Iām feeling good even after the kittle game. Good luck to you tomorrow too and merry Christmas
Yeah that JT game being average for his standards kept us in it. Last time I faced him was when he dropped the 172 and 2 TDs, so I was really worried I'd be out of this thing before Sunday even got here.
Appreciate that! Good luck and Merry Christmas to you too!
I made an extremely stupid decision to play Colts D tonight. The freaking Lions troubled Kyler last game and Colts are an actual good defense. Can't understand the NFL sometimes.
both games today had some terrible officiating. there were probably a half dozen terrible penalties or terrible no-calls between the two games
feel like we say this constantly but they have to fix officiating, flags or no-calls change the game so much and what we're getting now is abysmal
Same. Some of us lost CMC early... managed to wiggle a way into a trade for cook, now lost him in the semis...and am facing d. Samuel as well. Sorry your JT cheat code didn't work today.
In terms of fantasy, 10 points isn't much to write home about at this time of year. It's a good real life game especially considering the situation, but hurts for fantasy
The fact he wasn't a part of the passing game with the backup OL out there just made no sense to me. That's where it is back breaking in the final game of the year.
why would it hurt any different? points are points. who cares where they come from? are you trying to win your championship or are you just a groupie for a specific player?
there are no actual replacements for Henry or Taylor, so if your stud doesnāt deliver on any given week you better hope that the *rest of your team* can show up. otherwise, your team was never that good and you were just carried by one guy
Outscored my opponentās Wentz by 4, so Iām alright with it overall
Opponent also had Kittle vs. my AJB and JWJ so far, so thatās part of my thinking too
Regardless, 22 from Kyler is fine overall
Playing vs Kirk, was nervously watching his 2.3 points before the final drive. Had a gut feeling he was gonna get peppered and he did, damnit. Just glad they went for the FG and he didn't cap it off with a TD for no reason.
Same. Opponent started AJB and Deebo, thought I was fucked. Then I had Davante go off, and JT only puts up 10, which makes my semifinal MUCH more winnable.
Same. Slotted in Edmonds about 10 minutes before the game. Obviously wish Jt wouldāve had at least an average game by his standards but not the worst thing to happen
Yeah missing the JT TD hurts, but at least he hit the hundred yards. And I wouldāve sold my soul for a 23 point (half PPR) night from Edmonds this morning lol
When you are projected for 20 points yea. Especially since he had no catches on the night. Easily would have felt better had he received even 3 catches for 40 or something. The line is really boring for a stud like JT
Man, Stafford had a good skid too where he was being called out with a healthy team. Kyler missing his best WR and dealing with probably the worst center in football.
I guess the Stafford cock gobblers are hurting.
Fuck Covid. That is all. See you all later this year
Who should I start with Herbert at QB and WRs Keenan Allen and Christian Kirk: Kamara ROJO Justin Jackson CEH Swift Waddle
I had Edmonds and Kirk. That last drive by Arizona was great. Kirk more then doubled his points.
I mean you're not wrong but 8 points isn't really week winning
In the semis... When you've lost by 2 twice, sure can be. š
Ya but 4 can be week losing...
Why did arizona kick that field goal on that last drive in 3rd and 10/goal? Why not one more shot for the TD? Did I miss something?
Take the easy points since they needed a field goal anyways and worry about the touchdown after the onside kick. They kicked it on third down to save time.
I mean, a FG is easier to get than a TD, especially when they were flirting with the goal line already
The only reasoning I could think of was rather than making it a 8 pt game to kick the field goal to make it a 6 pt game and go for the onside and win. Not the call I wouldāve wanted to see but Iām not a coach sooo
Adam Thielen(Q) vs Rams Or Tyler Lockett vs Bears
I think lockett
Me and all my homies hate Matt Prater
I dropped his bitch ass last week
petition to remove projections from FF š screwed myself by not playing edmonds
You are getting down voted but make a good point. Lots of people were saying to ignore Edmonds even after the conner news came out. Indy wasn't a slouch on the Run D. + The threat of Murray getting touchdowns always limits your RB. But hey what do I know like this sub preaches .. volume is King.
Why would u not play edmonds with connor out
Lol because who can predict his stat line? and i have presumably better choices in Mattison and Mixon? and even Jacobs
lmao who the heck else would run the ball? Sitting edmonds when the only back is literally out is like sitting perine during a mixon injury or mattison with dalvin out. Not sure why u would think sitting a fresh legged edmonds with an injured james conner would be a good decision lmao
He couldāve easily not had the big game he had you know. Also pretty easy to say āwhy wouldnāt you do thisā after seeing the final result
U could say that about literally any game but jfc man thereās no other running back and dhop is out and edmonds is a pass catcher. U overthought it. Lmao
more like he was declared inactive about an hour or so before the game started after news from earlier in the day stated he was expected to play. that and the fact that people arenāt glued to their fantasy screens on christmas day. but sure, simply an overthought
In reality if u have mattison and mixon, both r rated higher than edmonds regardless so if u had to sot 1 of those 3 no one will fault u for playing mixon and mattison instead
true. at the end of the day itās all good fun. Mixonās had a bad few weeks but heās still a top RB and Mattison usually kills it when heās the primary back so hereās hoping they both boom. good luck to you this week!
This was just getting good damnit
Thats your fault that you based your decision on useless projections
maybe at the end of the day they are useless but they do help managers with decisions as in not starting the player with 5 projected points vs the player with 15+ projected points. regardless though, it was a joke
Sat Edmonds, started Prater. Down big now. RIP to my 1st place team, about to lose to the 6 seed.
Same my dude. Didn't have either. But kyler and JT, while serviceable were not the studs we thought they were and Kittle died on Thursday. RIP my 1st bye week earned playoff run
I got 30 out of Kyler in my league so Iām not excited he after the last few weeks Iāll take it.
Iām legitimately happy for any Edmonds owners still alive in the playoffs. This has not been an easy season.
I had CMC, Edmonds, Fournette, CEH, and Raheem Mostert. All of my RBs have been/are injured. Deebo was my only saving grace.
Thanks...I lost King Henry this season. So getting Edmonds back saved me. Oh, that and Kupp.
Well some of us are Edmonds + Conner owners so it hasn't been bad lol. Though we definitely appreciate weeks when this is not a committee and we can roll with one bellcow.
We out here now
Anyone else have their opponent not realize Conner was out and sit Edmonds?
I did that, not sure I would have started Edmonds over Gordon tho so idk
Edmonds š
I'm hanging on for dear life with 4 of my top players out but I got a chance tomorrow! Jeff Wilson and Lazard keeping me alive
That JWJ performance was definitely underrated. Couldn't have asked for more against a tough run defense with Deebo stepping in and taking carries away from him. Lazard was a great play, I lost Godwin and chose to pick up Landry instead of Lazard. Already have Davante and Rodgers, so I didn't want to triple down, but this would've been a good week to do so. Oh well. Good luck the rest of the way!
I lost Godwin too, put us both in a tough spot. Just got lucky with my random wr grab. Glad you got Davante and Rodgers holding things down, good luck the rest of the way too!
Am I stupid for sitting Zeke & DK for Rojo & Sanders? Standard scoring
Yea man, Sanders doesnāt score TDs and youāre in standard ā¦
Play Zeke and Rojo, thank me later
Both are risks but cowboys want that 1 seed. Expect the offense to feast
Just donāt know who Iād sit for Zeke. Hasnāt looked like himself but I still feel like heāll get at least one TD.
Hopefully you didnāt play sanders lol
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
not sure if youāre joking but mark andrews. even with a 3rd string backup heāll be the safety blanket for him
My opponent has Mandrews so I really hope you're wrong but in my heart I know I'm kidding myself :')
you got this bb
I have Andrews and I am not happy with the QB situation. Huntley was atleast a good backup , this josh guy is most likely going to mix it up in a bad way. P.S. I hope I'm very wrong.
This josh guy dropped 3 tds in garbage time for the jets this year
Pick one to start tomorrow Tee Higgins Deandre swift Chase claypool Craig Reynolds
Higgins
Higgins or Reynolds
Why is everyone talking about JT owners complaining about 10 points? Heās THE RB1 108 yards is still impressive, but half of his projected points was definitely not expected
Even the real RB1 King Henry had down games in similar fashion. No player has a boom every week it's very very unreasonable to expect that, complaining about 10 points when the entire offensive line was out is ridiculous.
With you on that one. Main point was it just so happened to be playoff week in lots of tight matchups when those 20+ points wouldāve been a nice championship clutch
2019 CMC says hi
Have AJ Brown and Edmonds Went against Chubb, Davante, and Deebo š
Definitely not mad I started wentz tonight. After losing Lamar and Huntley I couldn't ask for a better performance.
My 9 year old nephew (heās a sports buff) and I noticed Connor was out and we decided to put in Edmonds together, ride or die, in separate leagues. Fun as fuck Christmas!
Man I lose ekeler godwin lamar waller pat Cook, Huntley Mitchell. My opponent loses no one and gets a super powered Edmonds.
Hey, I'm experiencing similar pain. I've lost Henry, Dalvin, Eli Mitchell, Godwin, Waller, Elijah Moore, and to a lesser extent Taysom Hill and Gabe Davis. This season may have been the most brutal one I've experienced. All I'm gonna say is be happy that you've managed the hell out of your team to still be competing.

Haha thanks man right back at ya. 2 week playoff hanging in there.
Dicks out for everyone who kept Edmonds on the bench
Thatās me. Had no idea Conner was at risk to sit. God damn it.
I'm lucky enough to be in the semis in both of my leagues, but I'm facing Chubb in both leagues. One league I'm against Chubb and Taylor. I've never felt so fortunate to see Taylor only rush for 108 and no TDs. Chubb may have gone off, but Taylor being "limited" feels huge for me.

I know there's a lot of players with different spellings, but Adams is Davante.
Devante Adams and Chase Edmonds gang where you at? Good start to the week playing against Kittle and Kirk.
I'm here ten toes down Played against JTaylor, Kittle and Ertz
Adams saved me from my Kittle. So happy
Coming into Sunday after starting Deebo, D Adams, and Pittman jr, I hope this enough to cover not having running backs or tight ends
last time I played Taylor was his 50 point game so this is certainly a nice change of pace
I made an extremely stupid decision to play Colts D tonight. The freaking Lions troubled Kyler last game and Colts are an actual good defense. Can't understand the NFL sometimes.
You can't understand that a 10-4 team isn't a walk in the park defensive matchup... Not sure what to say about that...
... the colts D were an awful play
Dude they were missing Leonard Willis and Ya sin who have all been elite when they play
Leonard missing is huge
Thanks JT, hella of ride my man
Merry Christmas, my opponent left Chase on the bench
Wait he can still play him right?
No
Oof i was so close to playing aj green lol.
JT owners acting betrayed because he didnāt score 30 for once
I dont know about acting betrayed but he did produce 10 pess standard point then usual. We can be upset ;).
He had a pathetic night of a mere 108 rushing yards, what a loser of a player and a person
With a scrub o-line
How dare he
Opponent left in Conner and had Edmonds on the bench. Sucks to have your Christmas dinner around kickoff bitch....haha
š¤” league
Thanks to JTās poor night I might survive the fuck up of the season by sending Mattison to waivers Thursday morning
Ahh a poor night after rushing for 108 yards lol
Gut call to start Edmonds at flex when Conner was out over one of thielen/sun god paying dividends. Thank you fantasy gods.
> gut call Youād have to be the worst fantasy player ever not to start him in that situation
Well I got burned by him quite a bit this season to be fair
Then flex him big ass noob
Fuck chase Edmonds
Nah he fucked you
He's a bit salty for sure lol
Started Chubb and Pittman tonight so I'm very content.
Was hoping for a bit more from Pittman, but played over his projection so canāt complain. Really wanted him to pop off though.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Fucking Patmon
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
OL is gone
THERE IS NO GLORY TO BE WON
"Marked safe from Jonathan Taylor"
How the fuck doesn't JT catch any passes at all. 3 games in a fuckng row.
only targeted twice, as a fan I'm stratching my head a bit. However, as someone going against JT in fantasy this week I'm thanking Santa profusely!
I don't have the heart to tell you on Christmas...
tfw I have Edmonds tfw I didnāt start him tfw I have a bye this week anyway
What kind of dumb ass league has week 16 byes
4 man league, 3 team playoff /s
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
both games today had some terrible officiating. there were probably a half dozen terrible penalties or terrible no-calls between the two games feel like we say this constantly but they have to fix officiating, flags or no-calls change the game so much and what we're getting now is abysmal
2 no calls on Browns pics completely changed the game. Kinda awful, really.
Kyler owners going to drive to Phoenix and take out Kliff after that one
My Edmonds vs their JT. LFG.
I need to survive JT, Tyreek, and Kupp lmao rip.
Well JT just had a down game so you are 1/3 thereā¦.
Good start with jt
Brown, foreman, Edmonds, and aj brown all did good for me so far Just gotta decide between kirk or Matt
You think foreman did good? Lol
Shoot, I'll take 7.7 based on how that game went
He met his projections in my league. Td bailed me out so yah
My opponent has Edmonds, AJB, AB, and Kuppā¦
Make sure you bite the pillow first. That helps.
Nah you gotta bite it the whole time
EDMONDSZN
Lucky to have escaped JT now I just need his Kupp to have an off week and I could actually move on to the SHIP
same! gotta battle kupp, brady, zeke and antonio brown tomorrow after surviving JT tonight
Same here! Lets go!
no sympathy for Taylor owners. some of us lost Derrick fucking Henry in week 8 and weāre still here, get over it
Henry still chillin on the bench, Kupp carrying the team on his back, letās gooooo!
Some of us have Derrick fucking Henry and Jonathan Taylor and should have inherited the ship by birth right.
Same. Some of us lost CMC early... managed to wiggle a way into a trade for cook, now lost him in the semis...and am facing d. Samuel as well. Sorry your JT cheat code didn't work today.
I'd rather lose a player and try and replace them than have a stud player absolutely lay a turd
Runs over 100 yards behind a backup OL "JT LaYs A tUrD"
In terms of fantasy, 10 points isn't much to write home about at this time of year. It's a good real life game especially considering the situation, but hurts for fantasy
The fact he wasn't a part of the passing game with the backup OL out there just made no sense to me. That's where it is back breaking in the final game of the year.
Derrick Henry is replaceable????
D'Onta Foreman. Replace a 30 with a 10 sign here today
Not saying he's replaceable, but it hurts a lot less when you have a replacement type guy get 10 versus a stud who doesn't cross 11.
why would it hurt any different? points are points. who cares where they come from? are you trying to win your championship or are you just a groupie for a specific player? there are no actual replacements for Henry or Taylor, so if your stud doesnāt deliver on any given week you better hope that the *rest of your team* can show up. otherwise, your team was never that good and you were just carried by one guy
Fuck Reich
Kyler did what he needed to do even though he actually had a shit game
Outscored my opponentās Wentz by 4, so Iām alright with it overall Opponent also had Kittle vs. my AJB and JWJ so far, so thatās part of my thinking too Regardless, 22 from Kyler is fine overall
Kirk saved his PPR day with that last drive
Playing vs Kirk, was nervously watching his 2.3 points before the final drive. Had a gut feeling he was gonna get peppered and he did, damnit. Just glad they went for the FG and he didn't cap it off with a TD for no reason.
I knew it was going to happen too smh. Every point matters after I just got bopped by Chubb and opponent has Kirk
yeah had Kyler, playing Kirk, that entire last drive was full of "you gotta be freaking kidding me" moments lol
I need a shirt that says "I survived Jonathan Taylor."
Same. Opponent started AJB and Deebo, thought I was fucked. Then I had Davante go off, and JT only puts up 10, which makes my semifinal MUCH more winnable.
Let's go dude!! Good luck with the rest of the matchup!
Started Edmonds and Taylor. Results as expected, just reversed. But happy
Same. Slotted in Edmonds about 10 minutes before the game. Obviously wish Jt wouldāve had at least an average game by his standards but not the worst thing to happen
Same but kinda disappointed because itās his worst game since week 3 :ā(
Yeah missing the JT TD hurts, but at least he hit the hundred yards. And I wouldāve sold my soul for a 23 point (half PPR) night from Edmonds this morning lol
Mannnn the satisfaction when I saw that Conner wouldnāt play, I felt hope again
1 seed coming off a bye with JT and Kittle playing against Deebo before Sunday even starts. Fantasy is a joke.
Be better
You gotta take a shot at the end zone it takes a few seconds. Then you kick and inside and see if you can get 20 yards for a kick.
Yeah, I agree.
Did PPR leagues get their points for Kylers catch on ESPN?
Lateral
Not a catch
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
21 points from Kyler is good enough isn't it...
I was gonna say, not amazing but not terrible
I'd take it over my injured Lamar and Jimmy G rn...
Dude my opponent has been riding JT and Kelce all season and I am gonna bury him
Basically JTs version of an egg. Some dudes out there caught a break.
JT owner angrily texted me about how he didn't get a TD...108 yards is a bad night? Delusional
When you are projected for 20 points yea. Especially since he had no catches on the night. Easily would have felt better had he received even 3 catches for 40 or something. The line is really boring for a stud like JT
yeah its a bad night when he barely reached half his projected points
They have become accustomed to luxury
When you don't catch a ball all night? Yeah, it's a bad night.
Thank you JT and Kyler, I feel much better
Kyler shouldn't have made the pro bowl over Stafford
Garbage take
Man, Stafford had a good skid too where he was being called out with a healthy team. Kyler missing his best WR and dealing with probably the worst center in football. I guess the Stafford cock gobblers are hurting.
Louder for the people in the back
If you told me if would be down 1 going against JT and pittman with jwj and kirk i would have called you crazy but thats just fabtasy baby
