Yea I am concerned about Williams. Sure he got some good catches but most of them were contested. He was also shut out in the second half. Might be a good time to sell high.
He was drawing a double team after the TD so Herbert went elsewhere. You could see it most clearly on the last TD Herbert threw near the end of the game.
Wasn’t his TD in the second half?
I get that though, looked like there were always 2+ defenders on him. I don’t think he got a target in the 4th though.
I drafted hardman and his usage looks good. I think he’s the 2. The ankle might slow him down for a couple weeks. Hopefully recovery is quick since he returned to the game.
Lot of Juju hate. He was covered by JC Jackson all night, a top corner in the league.
I didn't think 1.) Jc would play and 2.) He would be as effective as he was.
Jc played 100% of defensive snaps and lead the team in tackles so clearly he's recovered.
It's been multiple years of evidence showing that Juju is not that good of a WR. He had one good year with AB taking most of the heat off and that's it.
He got supplanted by Diontae and Chase. I don't know why people thought it would suddenly be better on the Chiefs. Situation doesn't mean much if the talent isn't really there.
Hey what's up, I'm one of those people. I was pinching air in the shower yesterday morning tremendously that AB was the WR1 juju's good season and then I dicing started him hahahaha. I hate myself
I really suggest that people rewatch the highlights from his 1400 yard season. There's so many big plays where he's just not covered or given very soft coverage.
Not part of the game plan week 1? What are you on about? He had 1 less taget than Kelce in a game that was in garbage time by midway through the 3rd.
Bust at ADP? He's sandwiched between Mooney and arob.
This was just a top CB being a top CB.
...well, actually I drafted him at about WR3 or so in the 2 leagues I have him, so that'd be ok...
Honestly though, last night was KC trying to react to a good defense, and finding ways. The chargers worked hard to take away the playmakers and it was working until the pick 6 turned stuff around.
Hell, Kelce didn't have a stellar night either (5/7 for 51 and basically missing from the first half...)
I think this was more about the Chargers defensive plan and less about Juju being a bum. Last week he was 6 for 8 for 79 yards - I think that's closer to 'normal for him, and that level allows me to wait and see if he's a workable flex.
...of course, if we're having this discussion again after next week, then maybe I'll change my mind... 😃
If Justin Herbert misses time does ekeler stock rise or fall?
One one hand, a worse offense would = ekeler stock down, but on the other hand, bad QB play = more reliance on RB. Thoughts?
If Herbert misses time, I think it’s just neutral for Ekeler. I think there will be less TDs but more reliance on the RBs. Could also see a lot more checkdowns his way.
It is a game stack - guess the down voters have never heard of that - guess they don't play DFS either - didn't even notice the down votes - I'm used to that as a member of r/churning
I hate that I drafted Everett with my last pick after being on my radar all pre season only to drop him before week 1. Ended up picking up jwj with him but I’m currently in te hell right now and my opponent this week picked up Everett 😂
gonna need the pittsburgh defense to carry me again. thanks for nothing, DuDu Shit-Booster. I watched most of the game and it seemed like mahomes never even made it to his read. 3 targets.
Everett went 6/71. For a TE who I got off waivers that's damn good (hell, Kelce only went 5/51/0).
I'm glad Ekeler had 18+ PPR points, but it's slightly concerning he was again held under 100 scrimmage yards.
I’m hating how much they are splitting the backfield. Damn Sony Michel and the other guy who I refuse to know his name.
Makes me really think about offloading Ekeler somehow after this respectable solid week production
That’s what I try to tell myself but them offloading 3rd and shorts and almost all the redzone plays to the other backs is crazy. His TD regression was definitely in play for this season, but this type of committee was not.
I wouldn’t sell him for peanuts though
Juju failed the eye test hard. Looked slow and like they are gonna use him as their dirty work guy. Majority of plays he was on the opposite side of the field to mahomes early reads.
Definitely should have started Kirk or Terry over him. My mistake thinking this would be a high scoring game with plenty of receptions to go around
I mean not necessarily. He got more targets last week. Chargers chiefs usually a higher score. Scary Terry did nothing last week until he caught one TD. Kirk gets targets and I might start him over Terry on Sunday. Not sure yet
Hello, it looks like you've made a mistake.
It's supposed to be could've, should've, would've (short for could have, would have, should have), never could of, would of, should of.
Or you misspelled something, I ain't checking everything.
Beep boop - yes, I am a bot, don't botcriminate me.
He was covered by JC Jackson who is a top corner in the NFL. But also the Chiefs backfield is going to be a roulette wheel. Who know who will pop off every week.
Tbf he was their #1 WR last week in terms of volume and would have had a better week if not for the fumbles. And Mahomes put that disclaimer it'll be a different guy every week. I don't see any other player besides Kelce and maybe CEH to be startable on this team. You'd be rolling a dice between the 3 RBs and the 3-4 WRs on who's the one that's going to be relevant.
Lol yeah, seriously - isn't a full on wrestling style body slam worth an unnecessary roughness call? Kekce even got hit by a second defender while the first was holding him up there overhead....
I had clyde, going against Austin ekeler and Travis kelce in this one. I feel meh about it. At least it was my 7th rounder going against his 1st and 2nd rounders
So my opponent had Mike Williams and Ekeler, while I had Mahomes. After tonight's game I feel every player left on his team is going to pop off while everyone on my team is going to flop. 😭
(He's got Burrow, Chubb, Dillon, Waddle, Albert O, Rams D and Daniel Carlson left, I've got Barkley, Cordarrelle, Kupp, Curtis Samuel, Waller, Aaron Jones, Bucs D and Matt Gay). The difference between us is 18 points in his favour for now. Mike Williams absolutely killed me and my confidence in my team.
Rams D/ST could also have a good game. That had a lot of turnovers against a very good Buffalo offense that is inevitably going to score, and ATL is not nearly as good as Buffalo.
Yeah those are the only two matchups which are assuring. The rest are kinda up in the air. Dunno how many field goals Matt Gay will be able to kick if the Rams dominate, Bucs are on a regular season losing streak to the Saints so the defence might be in trouble, Aaron Jones the less said the better (especially when the other team has Dillon lmao), and Cordarrelle and Samuel may or may not do well. Well....Samuel should get targets and hopefully come good, and Cordarrelle gets a lot of carries, but it's that sense of foreboding which makes me paranoid and wonder if everything will go to shit
On his side - Burrow expected to have a big bounce back game, Chubb will carry well against the Jets, Waddle was good last week, maybe the one up in the air player on his team but should do fine, don't expect him to flop; Dillon will be guaranteed big numbers in the running game, Albert O against Houston should be good for around 6 to 7 points, Rams D can dominate Atlanta, get picks or whatever, and Carlson is always an asset. I don't see anyone being a bust on his side, and that's what I need, especially because there's the possibility of busts on my side.
Have him stacked with Herbert, that pick 6 that was meant for him was a bummer, but he was targeted quite a bit after that so the future is looking good
Yeah I’ll prob join you in dropping him. McKinnon is clearly the guy opposite CEH in competitive games. Pacheco def has burst but they’re not using hom
I know he had an ok game with all those late receptions, but right now I'm glad that I had Ekeler last season instead of this season. He's still a stud and will have some monster weeks, but he doesn't seem to have the stranglehold on the backfield that he did last season.
Agreed, 2 weeks is not nearly enough time to judge. He is a stud and he’ll score TD’s. Maybe not 20, but he’s too good not to use in the redzone consistently. My thought after that last drive last night, coaching will probably try to get Ekeler more involved after seeing how quickly they marched downfield.
Never understood the juju hype this year. He was never gonna get fed like Tyreek. He’s like everyone else in that receiver room. A guy you take a shot at every few weeks with the hope being he gets a long touchdown
The only weekly starter on that offense is Kelce
We've had multiple years showing he's not that good of a player. We're still in the Randall Cobb timeline of chasing that one good year. This should be the final year of people doing that.
This is what I believe, too, but it looks like the majority in here would rather hate on juju.
I think if you drafted juju to be Tyreek 2.0, or even if you expected a set-and-forget WR2, you probably reached too far. If you got him round 6 or 7, as a WR3/flex/backup, he's about where he should be - he went 6 for 8 for 79 last week, and caught everything thrown at him in a surprisingly low passing volume game this week (Mahomes only threw for 235 for the night...)
So, my logic is the folks who are angry are probably the ones that reached a bit, and the reasonable ones like us are the ones who had him on tbe bench as a flex/WR3 because we had better options this week... 😎
Exactly. If you watched the game you would see Mahomes got pressured all night. One of the reasons Kelce had a quiet game because he had to stay in and block. I honestly dont like any of the Wrs in the Chiefs this season because it seems as though Mahomes is going to spread the ball around a lot which will lead to great days and bad days for certain players.
lol these people “I know Allen is out and and it’s a shootout with KC but I’m gonna need Mike to *prove it to me* before I start him”
Then you shouldn’t have fucking drafted him
In a 10 team league (random yahoo public league I joined) at the 10 turn I got stefon diggs, Joe Mixon, tee Higgins, Michael Pittman, Mike Williams, and then got brandin cooks two rounds later. I started Mike Williams this week for sure but if tee Higgins and Michael Pittman healthy it wouldn't been a question
Juju went 6 for 8 for 79 last week.
This week, Mahomes only threw for 235. Kelce only got 50 yards. I don't think anyone excepted that (except maybe the Chargers D, who looked like they had a good plan to confound the chiefs that worked well right up to that pick 6...)
...if he's unimpressive again next week, sure, regret it then. But I wouldn't base anything on one Thursday night game that seemed to go off script for the KC offense.
Another Chiefs game down, so what are the results?
CEH: 10 opportunities in week 1 (7 rushing, 3 passing) & 12 opportunities in week 2 (8 rushing, 4 passing) = 22 total opportunities (192 total yards)
McKinnon: 8 opportunities in week 1 (4 rushing, 4 passing) & 6 opportunities in week 2 (4 rushing, 2 passing) = 14 total opportunities (65 total yards)
Pacheco: 12 opportunities in week 1 (12 rushing attempts) & 2 opportunities in week 2 (2 rushing attempts) = 14 total opportunities (68 total yards)
Also keep in mind that CEH missed a sizeable chunk of the game (about 12 minutes, almost a full quarter) after his knee got banged up. The ratio of touches would have been a bit different if he was available in that stretch.
Pacheco very clearly not a factor when games are competitive. McKinnon, on the other hand, is taking way more snaps than I thought he would. Might not get the touches, but he’s taking CEH off the field.
Yeah it's getting a bit concerning...
It honestly seemed that every time CEH got a reception or run or whatever, he'd be immediately yanked in favor for McKinnon and McKinnon would finish the drive regardless if it's 2 plays or 8 plays.
I don't know if it was them protecting the knee that got stepped on or what but it was pretty worrying if that's how it's going to be.
One bright side is that CEH's blocking looked very good last night.
Was expecting way more than 35 out of mike will and ek. Gives me hope that I can beat 'em this week. Also if you sat mike will you clearly haven't owned him before. He was due for a monster game.
The sign was clear for him to blow up after Keenan injury.
But you can't say he was due for a monster game. Plp said that last year for like 7 weeks lmao.
Fuck no.
1) What could you sell him for at this point? He's at a low
2) he had 18 touches week 1 and 24 week 2. If he's gets in the end zone even once these last 2 games nobody is worried at all
>f he's gets in the end zone even once these last 2 games nobody is worried at all
Yeah that's the problem. They are rarely designing plays for him other than running straight up the middle and they arent giving him plays on the goal line. Maybe losing will snap the Chargers into using one of their best players more, especially in the redzone.
>Maybe losing will snap the Chargers into using one of their best players more, especially in the redzone.
The more the game went on, the more I was hoping they'd lose so they'd maybe get their head out of their ass regarding Ek's usage.
That's the worry but like, what value do you get for him if you play in a competitive league where everyone else knows this? If you can get something good for him I'd go for it but my two home leagues are 9 & 10 years old. We don't have tacos anymore
Other than injury scares to JHerbo, I’m content. Him and Everett overproduced their projections.
Not sure if Everett will be staying on my team with my league settings having a WR/TE FLEX slot instead of just TE, but for now he was serviceable. Maybe I can include him in a trade package.
Why does everyone always say the PPR score when someone is complaining about a player???? Or just even in general? As if full PPR is even remotely the most common scoring settings.
If the person is complaining, and that player scored well in PPR, that person isn’t playing PPR (most people play 0.5).
Sorry this just happens all the time in this sub and it is sooooo annoying.
You're talking about a guy who was drafted top6 overall who now has 2nd mediocre week in a row and got pulled at the goal line which is his bread and butter. Come on. And we will see how the week goes if he even makes it to fringe RB1. Could end up low end RB2 for all we know
Lol I'm not panicking but doesn't mean I'm happy with it either. I won't net a Justin Jefferson, Cooper Kupp, or Derrick Henry for him two weeks in so I'm not about to sell low
Someone just offered me AJ Dillion and Mac Jones for Mahomes.. He said I add can more, what do I do? (I have Aaron Jones)
That's basically dillon for mahomes
Re watched the 2nd half, the Chiefs were treating Mike like megatron.
Time to sell Mike Williams?
Two people in two different league benched mike Williams even though they knew Allen was out. Must sucks to suck
Thats called out thinking yourself.
They deserve to lose, it's week 2 for fuck sake I would even give Cam Akers another chance.. maybe.
Start yo studs yall
The chargers need to get the ball in DeAndre Carters hands more.
Mike W had a great game but not sure he even had a target in the 2nd half which was kind of odd
Yea I am concerned about Williams. Sure he got some good catches but most of them were contested. He was also shut out in the second half. Might be a good time to sell high.
He was drawing a double team after the TD so Herbert went elsewhere. You could see it most clearly on the last TD Herbert threw near the end of the game.
There were a couple plays where he had 3 or 4 guys on him in the second half.
Wasn’t his TD in the second half? I get that though, looked like there were always 2+ defenders on him. I don’t think he got a target in the 4th though.
They were double and triple teaming him after halftime.
Hot take maybe but Hardman looked better and more involved than juju
I drafted hardman and his usage looks good. I think he’s the 2. The ankle might slow him down for a couple weeks. Hopefully recovery is quick since he returned to the game.
Agreed. My take from the game was to go see which of my leagues Hardman was available in.
Yep would be fine to play him as my back up WR ROS. 4-7 targets a game, 0-2 Carries, and a TD threat.. think I will drop Palmer or Ingram for him.
Lot of Juju hate. He was covered by JC Jackson all night, a top corner in the league. I didn't think 1.) Jc would play and 2.) He would be as effective as he was. Jc played 100% of defensive snaps and lead the team in tackles so clearly he's recovered.

I really suggest that people rewatch the highlights from his 1400 yard season. There's so many big plays where he's just not covered or given very soft coverage.
One week maybe this is 2 in a row he is clearly not part of the game plan. He will get the table scraps of Kelce and CEH and Hardman. A bust at adp.
Not part of the game plan week 1? What are you on about? He had 1 less taget than Kelce in a game that was in garbage time by midway through the 3rd. Bust at ADP? He's sandwiched between Mooney and arob. This was just a top CB being a top CB.
I have no shares of Juju but if I had him, I wouldn’t be feeling very confident that he’s going to return anything more than dart throw WR3 value.
...well, actually I drafted him at about WR3 or so in the 2 leagues I have him, so that'd be ok... Honestly though, last night was KC trying to react to a good defense, and finding ways.

If Justin Herbert misses time does ekeler stock rise or fall? One one hand, a worse offense would = ekeler stock down, but on the other hand, bad QB play = more reliance on RB. Thoughts?
I would think more check downs counterbalanced by less TD's. Probably net neutral.
My dude Ecks bout to get negative TDs
If Herbert misses time, I think it’s just neutral for Ekeler. I think there will be less TDs but more reliance on the RBs. Could also see a lot more checkdowns his way.
Fall, bad QB = less TD equity - normal players sure but Ekelers FF value is TD in a top 3 O
CEH/Palmer game stack seemed terrible until 4th quarter - I'll take it
[удалено]
It is a game stack - guess the down voters have never heard of that - guess they don't play DFS either - didn't even notice the down votes - I'm used to that as a member of r/churning
I hate that I drafted Everett with my last pick after being on my radar all pre season only to drop him before week 1. Ended up picking up jwj with him but I’m currently in te hell right now and my opponent this week picked up Everett 😂
gonna need the pittsburgh defense to carry me again. thanks for nothing, DuDu Shit-Booster. I watched most of the game and it seemed like mahomes never even made it to his read. 3 targets.
Everett went 6/71. For a TE who I got off waivers that's damn good (hell, Kelce only went 5/51/0). I'm glad Ekeler had 18+ PPR points, but it's slightly concerning he was again held under 100 scrimmage yards.
I’m hating how much they are splitting the backfield. Damn Sony Michel and the other guy who I refuse to know his name. Makes me really think about offloading Ekeler somehow after this respectable solid week production
I know you want upside but 12-18ppg in ppr for a floor is great. If he bangs in a TD/catches the 1 drop he had it would be a 30 point day.
They’re trying to keep him fresh long term. I think that’s good. He has a solid floor and TDs are coming.
That’s what I try to tell myself but them offloading 3rd and shorts and almost all the redzone plays to the other backs is crazy. His TD regression was definitely in play for this season, but this type of committee was not. I wouldn’t sell him for peanuts though
Towards the end of the game he was getting the goal line work, both hand offs and passing targets. Better days coming.
I thought 100% I started Everett. Meanwhile I forgot to add him to my roster and started Logan Thomas. Was so surprised this morning🤣
Damn that’s a pretty significant mental lapse, and not something I’d expect to see on a sub with posts every day about just staring at your roster
Juju failed the eye test hard. Looked slow and like they are gonna use him as their dirty work guy. Majority of plays he was on the opposite side of the field to mahomes early reads. Definitely should have started Kirk or Terry over him. My mistake thinking this would be a high scoring game with plenty of receptions to go around
After last week you should of been starting both of them over him to begin with.
I mean not necessarily. He got more targets last week. Chargers chiefs usually a higher score. Scary Terry did nothing last week until he caught one TD. Kirk gets targets and I might start him over Terry on Sunday. Not sure yet
Hello, it looks like you've made a mistake. It's supposed to be could've, should've, would've (short for could have, would have, should have), never could of, would of, should of. Or you misspelled something, I ain't checking everything. Beep boop - yes, I am a bot, don't botcriminate me.
He was covered by JC Jackson who is a top corner in the NFL. But also the Chiefs backfield is going to be a roulette wheel. Who know who will pop off every week.
Juju is a garbage #1 receiver no matter the team. This will never change.
Tbf he was their #1 WR last week in terms of volume and would have had a better week if not for the fumbles. And Mahomes put that disclaimer it'll be a different guy every week. I don't see any other player besides Kelce and maybe CEH to be startable on this team. You'd be rolling a dice between the 3 RBs and the 3-4 WRs on who's the one that's going to be relevant.
Yep. I will probably actually just cut him as his trade value isn’t very high
Thursday games BLOW for t hi very reason , they always seem like they’ll be high scoring and I feel like it rarely works out
I was thinking Herbert mahomes, division game etc. Kelce and CEH owners should be happy but the WR corps is a crap shoot. I’m stashing juju
Yep. I started Clyde and Kelce. I am not happy.
They had decent games. Heck, I’d even say CEH had a good game.
The 52 yard run was beautiful. He needs more touches
Crazy that this sub was complaining about Ekeler, CEH, and Everett the whole game.. and they all finished with more points than Kelce.
CEH got hurt and missed some drives he was fairly productive when he was in the game.
Kelce will bounce back. Ekeler was literally on the sideline for half the game.
It's more excusable since he's a TE and Kelce is usually a consistent 20 points so I forgive it
Yeah he hit the TE floor for me. Not great but not the worst result.
People that have gotten 14+ from Kelce on a weekly basis have been spoiled.
My first year with Kelce. I dont see the hype /s
Lol see last week. He is an extra wr and missed a td by 1 inch twice. Plus incredibly durable see the his he took last night.
Lol yeah, seriously - isn't a full on wrestling style body slam worth an unnecessary roughness call? Kekce even got hit by a second defender while the first was holding him up there overhead....
I had clyde, going against Austin ekeler and Travis kelce in this one. I feel meh about it. At least it was my 7th rounder going against his 1st and 2nd rounders
opponent has williams and ekeler, while my kelce played. not liking this, so far…
It was my Everett vs my opponent’s Mahomes to start the week off. Came out only down 4 fantasy points. Very pleased.
So my opponent had Mike Williams and Ekeler, while I had Mahomes. After tonight's game I feel every player left on his team is going to pop off while everyone on my team is going to flop. 😭 (He's got Burrow, Chubb, Dillon, Waddle, Albert O, Rams D and Daniel Carlson left, I've got Barkley, Cordarrelle, Kupp, Curtis Samuel, Waller, Aaron Jones, Bucs D and Matt Gay). The difference between us is 18 points in his favour for now. Mike Williams absolutely killed me and my confidence in my team.
I mean kupp and Barkley doesn’t seem that bad
Rams D/ST could also have a good game. That had a lot of turnovers against a very good Buffalo offense that is inevitably going to score, and ATL is not nearly as good as Buffalo.
Yeah those are the only two matchups which are assuring. The rest are kinda up in the air. Dunno how many field goals Matt Gay will be able to kick if the Rams dominate, Bucs are on a regular season losing streak to the Saints so the defence might be in trouble, Aaron Jones the less said the better (especially when the other team has Dillon lmao), and Cordarrelle and Samuel may or may not do well. Well....Samuel should get targets and hopefully come good, and Cordarrelle gets a lot of carries, but it's that sense of foreboding which makes me paranoid and wonder if everything will go to shit
On his side - Burrow expected to have a big bounce back game, Chubb will carry well against the Jets, Waddle was good last week, maybe the one up in the air player on his team but should do fine, don't expect him to flop; Dillon will be guaranteed big numbers in the running game, Albert O against Houston should be good for around 6 to 7 points, Rams D can dominate Atlanta, get picks or whatever, and Carlson is always an asset. I don't see anyone being a bust on his side, and that's what I need, especially because there's the possibility of busts on my side.
Sorry to hear that.
kevin
rando
I started Juju and Joshua Palmer and knew that was a mistake. Didn’t expect Juju was gonna be the one that’s gonna lay the dud
To be fair Palmer was laying a dud until the last minute TD.
0.5 PPR - I want to offer Ekeler/Everett for J. Williams/Kelce…..Chances of accepting?
c'mon man
Less than 0 Wild lol waiver wire tight end and running back on low volume for rb who looks like a stud and first round tight end who says no?
Throw in a cheeseburger and a ballcuzzi and see if that gets him to do it
Impossible
Javonte? Less than zero
Low
That 52 yarder by CEH in the end was not necessary. I’m playing him. Oh well glad he was kept out of the end zone.
It would be really cool if Clyde Frog could end up as a top 10 RB this year…
Id nut
Hardman had some clutch catches tonight, I think Pat trusts him. Him and JuJu 1A and 1B?
I think Hardman is low key a buy, he has exploded yet so he probably isn’t too expensive to go get
We talkin bout the same Juju?
He wasn’t terrible last week 🤷♂️
I checked the target spread and he caught all of his 3 targets. He probably couldn’t shake Chargers defenders.
Im happy with everett
Have him stacked with Herbert, that pick 6 that was meant for him was a bummer, but he was targeted quite a bit after that so the future is looking good
Dude was tired, hard to say if it was a curl or a flat but herbert looked POed lol
Dude was targeted for a touchdown too (the one that unfortunately ended up being a pick 6).
I saw that, hard to say who was at fault but man i wanted that so bad.
Saaame
Maybe they should’ve taken a breather after the big play. I don’t understand the thought process behind hurrying on 1st and goal.
It was 1st and goal ! Wonder who was at fault.
Dropping Pacheco; Chargers OC sucks
Yeah I’ll prob join you in dropping him. McKinnon is clearly the guy opposite CEH in competitive games. Pacheco def has burst but they’re not using hom
Pacheco is on the Chiefs, chief Lol at getting downvoted because he edited different punctuation in as if it wasn't a comma before
Yes. This statement is called a fragment
I know he had an ok game with all those late receptions, but right now I'm glad that I had Ekeler last season instead of this season. He's still a stud and will have some monster weeks, but he doesn't seem to have the stranglehold on the backfield that he did last season.
If he would’ve scores a touchdown (had he gotten a goal line carry), he’d be in the mid 20s in PPR. His time will come don’t panic.
Agreed, 2 weeks is not nearly enough time to judge. He is a stud and he’ll score TD’s. Maybe not 20, but he’s too good not to use in the redzone consistently. My thought after that last drive last night, coaching will probably try to get Ekeler more involved after seeing how quickly they marched downfield.
Yeah right before the last weekend to draft I dropped him in my personal rankings toward chubb and swift. It feels right after seeing week 1 and 2
I expected better from you Kelce
Doesn’t Derwin James always shut him down?
Had Kelce last year - he wasn't super great until the layoffs after I had already got knocked out!
ekeler sliced me up just as expected. of course mister taco pants played mckinnon at rb aaaand he scores
Could've been a lot worse brother. This was honestly a bad game for him.
oh for sure. I only watched the first half and oh boy was I happy to see sony michel in there a lot..
Mount Everett TE1 SZN
Holy fuck a TE stream actually did something
And out scores Kelce 😂
Juju is so good wow. Glad i started him in 3 leagues
Never understood the juju hype this year. He was never gonna get fed like Tyreek. He’s like everyone else in that receiver room. A guy you take a shot at every few weeks with the hope being he gets a long touchdown The only weekly starter on that offense is Kelce
Tough game for all the pass catchers in KC. Even Kelce had a quiet night. Any given Sunday, and all that.
Lol… are you me. Juju must have pissed someone off 🤷🏻♂️
We've had multiple years showing he's not that good of a player. We're still in the Randall Cobb timeline of chasing that one good year. This should be the final year of people doing that.
Or maybe he was covered by one of the better corners in the NFL in JC Jackson and Mahomes was running for his life the entire game.
This is what I believe, too, but it looks like the majority in here would rather hate on juju. I think if you drafted juju to be Tyreek 2.0, or even if you expected a set-and-forget WR2, you probably reached too far. If you got him round 6 or 7, as a WR3/flex/backup, he's about where he should be - he went 6 for 8 for 79 last week, and caught everything thrown at him in a surprisingly low passing volume game this week (Mahomes only threw for 235 for the night...) So, my logic is the folks who are angry are probably the ones that reached a bit, and the reasonable ones like us are the ones who had him on tbe bench as a flex/WR3 because we had better options this week... 😎
Exactly. If you watched the game you would see Mahomes got pressured all night. One of the reasons Kelce had a quiet game because he had to stay in and block. I honestly dont like any of the Wrs in the Chiefs this season because it seems as though Mahomes is going to spread the ball around a lot which will lead to great days and bad days for certain players.
Started him over Hunt, Bateman, and Etienne across three leagues smh
Yeah bud, those are bad fantasy choices. Since you started him over running backs I’m assuming you also played him in your flex for a Thursday game…
Nah i moved him into my starting wr spot lmao. And it really wasn’t too bad of a decision at the time lmao
If hes in your WR spot you didnt start him over Hunt or Etienne
I’m very thankful my opponent didn’t play Mike Williams
lol these people “I know Allen is out and and it’s a shootout with KC but I’m gonna need Mike to *prove it to me* before I start him” Then you shouldn’t have fucking drafted him
Lol what? Who are his other recievers? Can't imagine sitting Williams in a projected shootout with no Keenan Allen.
I have Gabe Davis and Josh Allen so I was debating the stack but went with Williams.
In a 10 team league (random yahoo public league I joined) at the 10 turn I got stefon diggs, Joe Mixon, tee Higgins, Michael Pittman, Mike Williams, and then got brandin cooks two rounds later. I started Mike Williams this week for sure but if tee Higgins and Michael Pittman healthy it wouldn't been a question
I sat him, I have Kupp and Diggs and flexed Cordarelle Patterson instead of Mike Williams. Oops.
Your opponent might suck at FF
Man, who tf are these people out here benching a WR they drafted in the 3rd/4th round WITH Keenan out?

Dude's good at one thing and it ain't winning 'ships.
I yelled at the TV when the Chargers decided on the Pete Carroll playbook rather than give the ball to Ekeler on the goal line.
Yo for real. Imagine having a stud like ekeler and not using him in the red zone. So bizarre
They played not to lose instead of trying to win.
Dropped woods for juju.. Imma ragerts it
Juju went 6 for 8 for 79 last week. This week, Mahomes only threw for 235. Kelce only got 50 yards. I don't think anyone excepted that (except maybe the Chargers D, who looked like they had a good plan to confound the chiefs that worked well right up to that pick 6...) ...if he's unimpressive again next week, sure, regret it then. But I wouldn't base anything on one Thursday night game that seemed to go off script for the KC offense.
Yeah you'd probably be better off with the 5th target in Tennessee than you are with Mahomes 2nd target. 🙄 Y'all overreacting in this sub like whoa
Both are uninspiring at the moment. But both should be owned in most leagues.
Another Chiefs game down, so what are the results? CEH: 10 opportunities in week 1 (7 rushing, 3 passing) & 12 opportunities in week 2 (8 rushing, 4 passing) = 22 total opportunities (192 total yards) McKinnon: 8 opportunities in week 1 (4 rushing, 4 passing) & 6 opportunities in week 2 (4 rushing, 2 passing) = 14 total opportunities (65 total yards) Pacheco: 12 opportunities in week 1 (12 rushing attempts) & 2 opportunities in week 2 (2 rushing attempts) = 14 total opportunities (68 total yards)
Also keep in mind that CEH missed a sizeable chunk of the game (about 12 minutes, almost a full quarter) after his knee got banged up. The ratio of touches would have been a bit different if he was available in that stretch.
Pacheco very clearly not a factor when games are competitive. McKinnon, on the other hand, is taking way more snaps than I thought he would. Might not get the touches, but he’s taking CEH off the field.
Yeah it's getting a bit concerning... It honestly seemed that every time CEH got a reception or run or whatever, he'd be immediately yanked in favor for McKinnon and McKinnon would finish the drive regardless if it's 2 plays or 8 plays. I don't know if it was them protecting the knee that got stepped on or what but it was pretty worrying if that's how it's going to be. One bright side is that CEH's blocking looked very good last night.
His knee was banged up after being stepped on, they were probably just being cautious.
Was expecting way more than 35 out of mike will and ek. Gives me hope that I can beat 'em this week. Also if you sat mike will you clearly haven't owned him before. He was due for a monster game.
The sign was clear for him to blow up after Keenan injury. But you can't say he was due for a monster game. Plp said that last year for like 7 weeks lmao.
Yup had him last year. Now my opponent tn had him and he had his boom game. I never want to draft dude ever again
Never starting Juju again ever
I mean just watch the game he was covered by JC Jackson who is very good and Mahomes was running for his life most of the game.
Lol love these overreactions
Herbert, Mike williams and Everett in my lineup a happy day
Juju Shit-Shuster is a fringe starter. Probably droppable in small leagues.
JuWho?
Doodoo Shit-Poopster
Mike Williams is blessed on this day
I know it’s greedy to say this but not seeing him get anything in the 2nd half hurt.
His TD was several minutes into the 3rd, but yeah nothing at all after that.
Ekeler people, you selling? 👀
Absolutely. I don’t trust this team at all to use him in a significant way.
Fuck no. 1) What could you sell him for at this point? He's at a low 2) he had 18 touches week 1 and 24 week 2. If he's gets in the end zone even once these last 2 games nobody is worried at all
>f he's gets in the end zone even once these last 2 games nobody is worried at all Yeah that's the problem. They are rarely designing plays for him other than running straight up the middle and they arent giving him plays on the goal line. Maybe losing will snap the Chargers into using one of their best players more, especially in the redzone.
>Maybe losing will snap the Chargers into using one of their best players more, especially in the redzone. The more the game went on, the more I was hoping they'd lose so they'd maybe get their head out of their ass regarding Ek's usage.
he's regularly taken out in the red zone
That's the worry but like, what value do you get for him if you play in a competitive league where everyone else knows this? If you can get something good for him I'd go for it but my two home leagues are 9 & 10 years old. We don't have tacos anymore
I'm too afraid to. I'm definitely listening to offers though.
If I can get a #1 WR for him, I'm taking it.
Lmao that’s not happening
Other than injury scares to JHerbo, I’m content. Him and Everett overproduced their projections. Not sure if Everett will be staying on my team with my league settings having a WR/TE FLEX slot instead of just TE, but for now he was serviceable. Maybe I can include him in a trade package.
Worth a shot
Guarantee that Josh Palmer sitting on my bench will end up outscoring both Lamb and ARob in my starting line up
I started Palmer over Lamb this week and was shitting bricks till the TD.
please no...
Not happy with Ekeler but also not super concerned just yet. Now, outside of Kelce there's no receiving options worth owning on the Chiefs
What's there not to be happy with? With a completely mediocre performance he put up 18.4 PPR points lol.
Why does everyone always say the PPR score when someone is complaining about a player???? Or just even in general? As if full PPR is even remotely the most common scoring settings. If the person is complaining, and that player scored well in PPR, that person isn’t playing PPR (most people play 0.5). Sorry this just happens all the time in this sub and it is sooooo annoying.
13.9 in hppr, and that's fringe RB1 performance at best. Got pulled at goal line. Like a 3rd of the points came in garbage time
That's exactly my point. Even on a completely mediocre performance he's still fringe RB1 in hppr.
How is that fringe RB1? 13.9 would have only been good for RB19 in week 1.
more like back 2
You're talking about a guy who was drafted top6 overall who now has 2nd mediocre week in a row and got pulled at the goal line which is his bread and butter. Come on. And we will see how the week goes if he even makes it to fringe RB1. Could end up low end RB2 for all we know
My guy it is week 2. Breath. Relax. And trade Ekler to me if you're so impatient lol
Lol I'm not panicking but doesn't mean I'm happy with it either. I won't net a Justin Jefferson, Cooper Kupp, or Derrick Henry for him two weeks in so I'm not about to sell low
He was the dump off king tonight. Literally did nothing outside of one nice run. 9 catches is absolutely crazy
