Lost both of mine. Had no chance going up against Justin Jackson, Damien Harris, Adams and Josh Allen in one of them. The other I needed 19 from Lamb and it was the Cooper show of course. Things just didn't go my way. Set my lineups perfectly just didn't score enough. Ah well, tough year this year.

on my way to the finals. Dak came up big and after sitting on chase edmonds for 16 weeks he finally came through for me. Lineup for the finals as we speak (hopefully avoiding covid/injury etc)
QB Prescott
RB1 Montgomery
RB2 Eli Mitchell (or Jeff Wilson)
WR1 Devante
WR2 Tyreek
TE Mark Andrews
FLX Ronald Jones
DEF Saints or 9ers
K Prater......maybe.
pretty loaded team on paper but it wasn't always like that. Ronald i grabbed a few weeks ago when Fournette missed a practice; Lenny played that week and got hurt later on. Andrews has probably been the MVP as he has really outplayed his draft price. Devante has been Devante. Hill has been rocky as expected. fun team especially because I've had to work hard on waivers to make the RBs happen since I did not draft one of the big guys (went WR/WR as you can see)
despite making my Christmas merry i do not see Edmonds getting back into that lineup unless Connor is out again

Relied on waiver wire and COVID list to scrape myself into the playoffs - big contribution in the semi-final by guys like Justin Jackson and Chase Edmonds but agree need Connor not to play for a big impact...
your team is better than mine - i need to rely on Tyler Lockett deciding whether he's going to score any points or not..BRB' Projectile Vomitin'

it is kinda wild how you have to pivot off of guys so quickly in the playoffs. last week the miami defense, justin jackson, chase edmonds all won games for people. this week you probably aren't using any of them. for all we know a new wave of virus absences is on its way and you have to find the next justin jackson, the next chase edmonds etc.
might wanna just grab a guy like Hines for the hell of it. i haven't heard a word about taylor but anything can happen w/ the virus stuff.

The irony here is that, while of course you are right, the one team I do have in the finals, if not for Miles Sanders injury, all of my skill players (i.e. non kicker/DST positions) in my starting lineup for the finals would be players I originally drafted and held all year. There were a lot of moves in the interim, but this was my starting lineup in the semis, all drafted players, and thanks to Cincy's demolition of the Ratbirds, an easy win:
QB: Burrow
RB: Kamara, Mixon
WR: A. Brown, D. Smith
TE: Kittle
Flex: Sanders
I'll have to replace Sanders, and the only draftee I have left to do that is Mooney, but if I decide on him, it will be an all-draftee lineup in the finals as well.

Final matchup boyos and I need your help. Standard scoring, 1 flex spot.
Mahones
Deebo, Patterson
Taylor, Eckler
Penny (flex)
Gronk
Lamb, Odell, Knox
My main question is who do I give my WR2 spot to out of Patterson and Lamb. I currently have Lamb benched, hasn't seen a TD for while now but has a good matchup (6th most). Patterson has been flat but still getting targets has neutral matchup Bills (12th most).
Also DEF out of Dallas (Ari 8th fewest) and NO (Car 2nd most). Dallas has been murdering it recently but NO the juicy matchup.
To think I threw a tantrum with my draft order thinking I missed out on the gun RB's only to draft JT and Eckler to murder it. RB RB 4lyfe.
Any help appreciated.

Even with being able to play Cordarelle at WR when he's technically an RB, I still don't like it against Buffalo - just don't trust their offense... So I'd lean with Lamb - are you keep OBJ on the bench?
DST-wise, think it's close, but if you can have a matchup against a Matt Rhule coached team I think you take it so go NO.BRB' Projectile Vomitin'

Ok, so Sanders is out, and I need a flex (1/2 PPR). Here's the full roster:
QB: Burrow
RB: Kamara, Mixon
WR: A. Brown, D. Smith
TE: Kittle
Flex: ?
Bench: Lance, Mattison, Amon-Ra, Mooney, Stevenson, Ingram, Freiermuth, Akers (just added him as a flyer this week just in case), MVS (currently in an IR spot, but can drop anyone above (likely Mattison since Cook is back) to activate him if I want).
I drafted Lance and have been holding him all season thinking Jimmy GQ would be benched eventually and Lance would be an easy QB1 with his rushing stats, but now that this is happening in the championship week and Burrow is coming off a 50 point game that won me the semi matchup, I'm thinking I have to stick with Burrow.
For RB, Ingram is obviously just insurance against a Kamara covid list addition. Otherwise, I won't play him, and Mixon is a must-start, so RB is set. For WR, AB is a must start, and Devonta is finally emerging as the #1 option, so I'm not benching him.
For flex, I was really hoping to have Sanders as the lead back in the #1 rushing offense to use in flex, but he's out. Who is next man up? Leaning towards Amon-Ra. He's been fire on my bench for a month now, but I've been waiting for him to fall back to earth in that dreadful offense. But even with a no-name scrub QB last week, he got his numbers, so I'm thinking he is actually getting QB and matchup proof. MVS is a hail mary play with very high ceiling and zero floor. I'll consider him as a higher ceiling than Amon-Ra if my early games flop, but I'm scared of the zero with him, too. I think Stevenson is better than Harris and there is a chance RB-Belichick will fool everyone again and run him 25 times instead of Harris, but you can't count on anything with Pats RBs. For LAR, Henderson is out, so if Michel gets the Wu flu, would Akers become a must start? Or would he still just have a bit role in his first game back. He's obviously not startable if Michel is active.
Thoughts?

You gotta go with Burrow at QB. Lance is enticing but I feel like that KC/CIN game is going to be 42-38 or something absurd.
I'm rolling Amon-Ra in all leagues, and have been since week 14. Dude is eating up targets now that Goff realized he's the only option to throw to.***Mariah Carey is my 10/10 Crew***

In PPR I might swap Harris with Michel, and then swap Michel with Cooks.
The Ravens run D is pretty solid, mostly because their Pass D is so abysmal. I see Michel/Akers not really doing much more than 50-60 yards and maybe a TD.
Cooks has been matchup proof these last few weeks.***Mariah Carey is my 10/10 Crew***

Swift is practicing in full and Campbell said they are going to "cut him loose" this week. Combined with the fact that they have exactly one receiver worth throwing to, I think Swift is a must play. I'd bench RoJo. Even with Fournette out, RoJo has been pretty inconsistent over his career even when the starter (although odds are high he'll at least get a couple cracks at the goal line). Michel is the NFL leading rusher in December. He can't be benched, and Harris went ham last week, although Stevenson is back this week, too, which limits him a little.
