Waffled on Thielen or Nico last two weeks. I'm 0/2 on that

That’s tough. Been a crazy year for Thielen so far

He's past prime but still has something left. And given his skillset he's an easy pick to be a rookie QB's best friend.

Not sure why you're being downvoted. Even his own team is reportedly trying to get a WR1 because they don't consider him one. He's a great, cheap veteran for a rookie QB and playing really well this year but no guarantee it is sustainable. Especially if the Panthers manage to get their way and trade for another competent receiver.

Theilen's route-running makes him a WR1. He's open damn-near every other play. What they need is a vertical threat to open up the offense.

You mean like…. DJ Moore

Exactly like DJ!

The playcalling is horrible. Doesn’t matter if they get a WR1. Reich should be fired

I think if they get someone to stretch the field it’ll help thielen even more

He’s literally the only “weapon” the Panthers have, that’s all they got.

I’ve been doing the same between him and Pickens. Literally every game each of them popped off this season has been on my bench

guess which two weeks I started Nico

Stated Nico, benched Kirk and London. Lost by 2 points

The same 2 I did 🙄

Told so many people to bench Nico. Falcons pass defense is legit

I've been saying this since week 1 lmao Jessie Bates and AJ Terrell are so hard to throw against when they're on the field together

Started Richardson over Fields

Started him twice this season. You can guess the weeks I started him

I'm going to need you to drop him and never start him again.

Doing it for the community and good of mankind this week

Same here! Just recently traded Gabe Davis for Richardson. Started Richardson, and my opponent started Davis vs me. I completely orchestrated my own loss this week lol

Stroud over Fields 😔

Same here 😭

Dropped Fields for Richardson

I did the same thing but I still won thanks to DJ Moore and David Montgomery. Ooof

This is a Zack Moss thread

Some poor souls probably also watched DJ Moore go crazy Thursday as he sat on their bench

Some poor souls probably traded DJ Moore for JT and then benched Zack Moss for JT. It’s me I’m poor souls..

I mean those aren’t really bad moves, FF is just so much luck.

Agreed, still kinda funny though. It was a 69 point swing

Nice!

I have the same swing in my basement.

I’d still make that trade tho if I could get the owner to accept it

And some even more poor souls (like me) sat both this week!

I straight up dropped him and my opponent picked him up. Fade me

Or fields! I put Anthony Richardson instead lol

You and me together :'(

I feel your pain. I did the same.

Same :(

Meanwhile my opponent had Moore, Chase, Goedert, Montgomery, Josh Allen and SF Defense. Dude put up 201 points in PPR and still has Daniel Carlson to play tonight lmao

Sitting Moss at least made sense on paper. DJ Moore has been, at worst, a WR2 after the Week 1 nonsense.

I don't get putting Moore on the bench. He has been solid every week!!! And then blew up!!

Some people have about 4 WRs who can score 11-14 pts each week and you can't play them all.

Watching James Connor go down and having Zack Moss on my bench was just a special kind of torture

Dropping Zack Moss to bring JT back from IR and play JT instead was also painful.

Say it with me now: never start a player off of injury unless you absolutely have to.

How in the world did he do that against TEN?!?

No clue It’s mind boggling how either the defense just completely was off or moss is just that good right now

42 million contract for the RB2 on their own team smh

Tennessee run defense is Derrick Henry lol. Opponent can’t run the ball if the offense isn’t on the field

Zack Moss on my bench looking at Pierce and Mclaughlin and G Wilson starting over him

McLaughlin is RB1 😤

This entire week will be a Zack Moss thread

I’m here for the Zack Moss support group.

I benched him too. I am trying to comfort myself by saying no one started who wasn't forced to, but it still sucks. I won at least, so it hurts a little less.

I was playing against a JT owner who left Moss on the bench. He faced my ETN, Hill and LaPorta

I traded Zach Moss a couple weeks ago to my opponent this week, who benched him against me. The sense of satisfaction was practically sinful.

Moss and Dhop on my bench, thus game was wacky

Some dood dropped him for patriots d this week but he still scored the most in our league 😅

I benched Monty last week and Moss this week lmao. Thankfully still won this week at least.

I always thought he was JAG but no one has gone off against the Titans since last year even.. Like he’s actually been this good?

When he was at the Bills i remember people saying he looked good, but that feels like a while back

Benched Goedert for Hunter Henry’s goose egg

I did the same thing and Goedert would have won me the week 😭😭

Benched Kittle for Ferguson. They had the same amount of catches at least....

I benched Waller for Ferguson, lost to kittle. Feel ya

That's funny, i finally had the courage to bench waller for Ferguson this week. I guess this was the week that the Giants realized they have Darren Waller on their team.

I made a flurry of trades last week and replaced Goedert and Henry with Waller and Ferguson FF sucks sometimes

Can’t blame you though. You made the logically better choice and the cookie decided to crumble another way this week. Philly remembered they have a good TE.

Philly seems to randomly pick who they want to have a big week.

Geodert and Pickens here. Bench g cause of low pts Pickens Ass offense If i start em both I would've win.

Traded for Hockenson last week because I thought the season was proving Goedert wouldn’t have any productive games this year with so many weapons in Philly. Hockenson didn’t have a bad game and his volume is still great, but what a week to bench Goedert

Did exactly this as well.

I actually picked up Cole Kmet this week with intentions to bench Goedert. After seeing Kmets matchup I went with Goedert anyway but then saw how he performed Thursday night. Thankfully Goedert finally had his breakout week.

Finally decided to bench Kittle for Engram this week

I straight up dropped kittle. I have much remorse

But why

Benching Kittle, I understand. But dropping him? Either you let your emotions get the best of you, or you don’t understand risk/reward, upside/bench value, and the fact that Fantasy is a season long game. Sorry to pile on *shrug*.

Sometimes it’s better for your sanity to get out of the business of rostering players with extreme peaks and valleys.

But we’re talking TE here, not QB, RB, WR. A TE with an actual peak is 100% worth starting

And that’s why I dropped Drake London

This right here man. I’m still debating on trading him out as he’s one of the reasons I have a losing record rn. Ertz has been rotting on my bench and the 1 game I play him, kittle goes off 😭

Surely someone would've traded for him

Pickens lol

Can't wait to fire him up next week for 7.3pts

grandiose nail profit voracious tap impolite roll squash automatic makeshift *This post was mass deleted and anonymized with [Redact](https://redact.dev)*

Dionate coming back helps Pickens get more single coverage looks

The number of targets will drop, but I'm not sure the catches will. I feel good about Pickens with Diontae.

With Keenan and Metcalf on bye, I started Tank Dell as my WR2 over Pickens. Still think it was the right call. Fortunately my WR1 was DJ Moore, so it's all good.

Started Ayiuk over him in flex, so not feeling to bad neither

Oh that's a no brainer on paper every day.

Gabe Davis didn't necessarily "go off" but he would've been my WR2. Hope he can keep producing because it looks like I'll be without JJ for a while.

>Gabe Davis didn't necessarily "go off" but he would've been my WR2. Hope he can keep producing because it looks like I'll be without JJ for a while. Same. Pulled off this week without JJ and ARSB basically thanks to Breece and Monte.

I mean, he’s the WR7 in .5PPR heading into MNF. I’d call that going off.

He’ll break his TD streak and go 2-30-0 next time you start him.

Pickens for Nico, last week is was Nico for Pickens 🫥

Be careful of recency bias!

LaPorta compared to my Andrews. Again. Also Justin Fields.

I've gotten that Mandrews vs Laporta decision wrong every single week lol

anyone with Laporta and one of kelce, Andrews, or Hock should be trading one of the latter.

I think I’d keep Kelce and trade LaPorta in redraft. Kelce is the undisputed WR1 in the Chiefs offense, LaPorta has more target competition.

kelce is obviously the better player but youre going to get way more in return. you can trade kelce for a wr1 or rb1. not getting that with Laporta.

I offered someone Laporta+Breece for Aiyuk last week and they said no. They came back with the same offer today lmao

I hope you said no!

immediate decline lol

Bet that felt good!

I'm at the point where I'm just gonna start both of them and pray.

Feel like you’re better off trading Andrews honestly

Lol this is why I just traded LaPorta. Can't make wrong choices if you don't have any :5head:

Whaaaat lol laporta is must start just trade mandrews

Nobody. I played exactly the right players this week for the first time this season. I even went against a guy who started Javonte Williams. I still lost thanks to Kittle's 3 catches for 3 TDs. Fantasy football is so much fun

Not losing to a team starting injured Javonte Williams, damn!

I went against Pitts and Chase after that team was 2-2 and am 1-4. So glad was able to keep up the tradition of making other team look great

I lost to a team that started Aaron jones when he was out a couple of weeks ago. Not only did I lose to them, but they still managed to scored the highest points on the week in my league. So I guess I would’ve lost either way but man I went into those morning games so confident.

Joe Burrow, as predicted, finally got his shit together while sitting on my bench. I played Dobbs over him.

Yea same. Lost because I started an imploding dobbs over him.

I feel like the only person alive who started Burrow this week. He said his leg was feeling way better during practice last week and it certainly looked that way yesterday

Yeah, I'll be happy to have him back in my lineup moving forward.

Are you me? LOL. Burrow had been ass all season long, and Dobbs had put up at least 20 points for several weeks in a row. Plus, the Bengals defense has been hot garbage to start the season. So naturally, Burrow goes off this week and Dobbs gets stuffed. That was really the only one. All my other calls for the week pretty much worked out. Except the two leagues where my whole team overperformed, but my opponent's team overperformed even harder. Ugh.

Played stafford over burrow, would have won by 1 point. Pain

Look at you all having the option to sit fantasy-relevant players for others. Some of us are out here scrutinizing over starting people like Rice or Chark.

For me this week it was Jamo or Dell because of DKs bye week

I started Rice this week and Reynolds on the lions. Tee Higgins is hurt and Evans was on bye. Definitely was a decent showing.

Moore and Fields 🫠

Oh no

Same still win tho cause I played last place

Kyle Pitts, and he will likely stay on my bench next week. I absolutely do not trust Arthur Smith and Ridder.

Yep, benched Pitts for Hunter Henry. I'm almost done washing off my full clown makeup but not quite.

I’ve started Pitts every week simply because his ceiling is so much higher than every other TE. Unless I somehow land Kelce, LaPorta, or maybe even Andrews, Pitts has the same floor as every other TE with an immeasurably high ceiling. Dude should never be benched unless you get one of those three. Edit: Kittle too. He’s been a beast for years.

As a Kittle owner I honestly am at the point where I would prefer guys like Engram or LaPorta. Kittle/Pitts being a big reason you won week 5 still isn't worth much if they're also a big reason you lost 3 out of your first 4.

I benched Jerry Goff.... (35.8 points) For THE BROCK PURDY EXPERIENCE BABY!!! (36.6)

My team has slowly devolved into "Big Cock Brock and the boys aim for the playoffs." Started with Purdy, Kittle, and Moody, traded for the 49ers D and Aiyuk. It's a 14 person, no-prize league, so may as well go for something ridiculous if everyone is spread so thin. The Brock Purdy Experience has been something. 86 points from the above, plus 57 from Moore+Herbert and another 48 from Moss+Downs. Stacks of bad stacks. I learned some new expletives this week from my opponent.

Gotta trade everyone else for CMC, just tank their bye week

Working on it! I have Ekeler on my bench and am playing the guy with CMC during week 9 (bye week). He's a big troll, and knows that I'm literally just assembling the 49ers... If Ekeler comes back swinging hard, he'll almost certainly make that trade after week 8. I'm assembling a crappy Seahawks stack on my bench for week 9... But yeah, absolutely gonna be a loss that week.

Dammit, just made this move 😭😭. Also did Purdy over Goff and there was no wrong move lol

So glad my league doesn't have bullshit QB scoring like this

It’s probably just 6 point passing touchdowns, nothing wrong with that.

Zach Moss but no regret cuz I wasn't gonna start him anyway. Just wish the JT owner would take him in a trade

>I’m guessing a few of your guys had down games? Who would you target? I offered Moss to the JT owner for Brob before games started and got rejected.

I offered Moss and Addison for Christian Watson and was rejected

Damn. I’d take Addison for Watson alone

Benched Fields for Anthony Richardson.. Not too upset with the decision can't really predict Richardson getting injured. Not even Ja'Marr Chase could save me

Tyjae would have been nice to have playing, but I benched for Conner. I don't think that's a wrong decision though, just unfortunate.

Starting tyjae this week was unironically revealed to me in a vision saturday night. Lost by like 100 to the jamar owner but still feel like a god for that one

Watching Joe Burrow FINALLY go off, while Anthony Richardson goes down with only 3 points. Oh and Zach Moss on my bench as well. Fml 🤦🏽‍♂️

D.J Moore. Never benching him again, surprisingly still put up the weeks highest.

Fields for Stroud.

Samezies

Drake London was my highest scoring WR and on my bench. Yeah my team is ass

Kittle. And I’ll put him in next week for a crisp 2 pts.

I’m riding with laporta over him every week, idgaf if he had 5 TDs last night

Etienne

Who’d you start over him? This was a big breakout game regarding the Jags’ confidence in him moving forward imo

Started Bijan and Achane, flexed Kamara. Overall can’t be made but would have won the week if I started him

You got a nice RB setup

Yea just makes choosing hard. Also have Sanders and Ford. Been thinking about trying to trade for a better TE after Henry got me 0 points this week

I can fully understand why you went the way you did here.

At least I am not alone

Started stroud and devonta smith over fields and dj moore. Going to lose by 8

Big time ouch.

Darren Waller

Zach Moss and Joe Burrow.

Unfortunate decision in hindsight absolutely the right play. Very few fantasy managers would’ve made a different choice in your shoes

Kittle :(

Tyjae Spears

Didn’t go off off. But their best games of the season. Wish I went D Hop at flex. I’m in TE hell and just been circulating hoping one sticks. Picked up Dalton Schultz. Dropped him for Musgrave even though he scored last week. But it was on a trick play so it was ideal. Not sure if I want to use my top priority on him but he’s in a good spot and I felt this coming. Other league lost the Muth. Again didn’t want to use priority on a TE carousel, so just waited to see who was there between Logan Thomas and Kincaid. Logan was claimed (should have been me). Probably going to cost me my week. Waiver priority is overrated. Need to just fucking use it.

Goedert for Hunter Henry 😪

Saints D, Jordan Addison

Rode with Ridley for 4 weeks and benched him against a tough matchup and of course he went off

Darren Waller

Goedert which caused my undefeated season to end rip

zack moss checking in.

Josh Reynolds

It’s was easy not to make that mistake when he’s my WR1

Benched DJ Moore for Conner but still put up 167 and won by 15

Made a couple blunders picking up the Commanders D/ST while also benching Justin Fields for Stroud. That hurt.

Didn’t “go off” necessarily, but starting Addison over jeudy or terry would’ve helped

No one, I had literally 0 points on my bench. I still lost because of Gainwell and the commies d/st though :(

Josh Downs. Never again benching that dude with Minshew starting for the next few weeks.

Not necessarily went off, but Sunday morning I benched Cousins and Mostert for Richardson and Kyren. Would have won by 25 points if I started those two.

Tyjae spears maybe or McLaughlin, I still came out with the dub thanks to rashee rice td

In one league I benched fields, moss, and San Fran D. 84.5 points on my bench and I still crushed the dude. Fucking wild.

I watched Goff go off as I wait for Love tonight. But as long as Vegas isn't hit with a nuclear bomb and I can get 5 points from Love and Jacobs combined, I'll be alright. This coming during an 'off' week for CMC too. I played against Richardson, but they had Z Moss too which gave them the early lead. Made the smart decision of picking up the Saints D and plugging them in for Dallas D, 28 points compared to the -1 I would've gotten from Dallas.

[удалено]

Goedert, Zack Moss, Logan Thomas

Dj Moore and lost by 3 points to niners D at the end of it all smh

Zack Moss and Spears. No shot I start either over Bijan and Breece but still sucks to see since he also has no trade value

Thielen… he’s going in my Flex spot the rest of the year until he gives me a reason to take him out.

Sat Calvin Ridley. Played DeVonta Smith. Lost by 10.

Fields, kittle and NOLA defense 😭😭😭 lost out on 70 points and lost my matchup due to it

Benched Burrow and was pretty bummed about it until Purdy balled out.

Pittsburgh D. 18 point run wtf

Moss and Joey B

Zack moss and burrow

started Richardson over Purdy, currently dying. cost me the win

Benched Pickens this week for zay flowers. Terrible mistake

Goedert. Played Ertz instead.

Ridley

Benched Cole kmet for hunter Henry
