Playoffs. Tours already over because Lamar probably won't play

Ravens will want to secure that first round bye, so he'll play until that becomes reality. Bengals aren't beating NE this week, so Jackson will have to play 2 more weeks most likely.

This. That bye and home field is huge. They aren't sitting Lamar.

Fully healthy, I agree. The is some dependency here on the severity of his injury on a short week. It doesn't seem like a big deal, but if it's a little worse than they are letting on and with fewer days to recover, they may opt to go with RG3 and learn the lessons of, well, Washington pushing RG3 to play hurt.

They should be able to win a Thurs home game against the Jets with me playing QB.

I signed Tannehill as an emergency backup plan in case Jackson sits.

I didn't know Lamar was banged up?

I didn't know Lamar was banged up?

He was limited yesterday (apparently pretty limited, too, since the practice was just a walkthrough and he couldn't do it), due to a "quad contusion", I guess like a "super charley horse". That's a tricky thing, because in all but the most extreme circumstances, it's not a structural concern, but it can be a very painful injury for the first several days, too, and difficult to play through.

That definitely changes things, didn't know that. They cannot afford to risk him getting a serious injury, and with his style of gameplan anything less than 100% isn't going to cut it. Like you said, its the Jets. They could probably run the Wildcat with Ingram and Edwards and still win.

fuark i think this is the first time i've had no teams playing past the first week of the playoffs. feelsbadman

Here's the story:

https://www.baltimoreravens.com/news...-lamar-jackson

“It’s a quad injury,” Harbaugh said. “It happened in the game when they hit him down there around the knee, and that’s what it was. It’s less than 24 hours after the game. It’s not a serious injury in that sense, but this is day-to-day, and we play Thursday night. So, we’ll see where we’re at.

“I’m not going to get into injuries. We just got done playing the game 24 hours ago. We’re going to play a game Thursday night. The guys that are ready to play will play, the guys that aren’t won’t. So, just look at the injury report and take it from there.”

Not serious as a long term concern, but with only limited time to get ready for Thursday, it's definitely something to get your backup plan ready now.

[Jayarbie]

Not a dick move at all imo. Dude has the same opportunity to be up at that time.

For this, I ended up deciding not to be a total dick. First, I woke up at my normal time (5:00) instead of getting up right at 3, so he had 2 hours to take whoever he wanted (he didn't). I ended up claiming 4 guys - Fant, Tannehill, M Will, & Scott - for Ridley, Penny, Snell, and Ross. I did take the #1 TE on the board, but I needed to address other positions (like a backup plan for Lamar at QB and an emergency WR option in case Juju doesn't play in the end) so I didn't just run all the TEs off the board. He eventually took Howard later this morning.

Le'Veon Bell went bowling until 1 AM Saturday night after being declare out Saturday afternoon for Sunday's game when he was told the flu virus he missed practice with all week was still contagious. LMAO, these clowns never learn, do they?

Supposedly, he was moving around better at practice today. It seems likely he's going to play Thursday, but I'm keeping plan B at the ready anyway, just in case. If he's playing, obviously, you have to play him.

Standard scoring. I'm on the left. If Jacobs is out then I think I'm gonna roll with Washington... Should I make any changes? Last 2 weeks my teams kinda sucked, not feeling too confident coming off the bye.

[Iceman1800]

Ppr. 3 wr's. Adams is obvious. Pick 2 more from ARob, D Parker, C Sutton, D Slayton, Golden Tate. Tate is my least favorite here. Sutton vs KC who's giving up the 2nd fewest points to wr's. Slayton vs Mia, Parker vs NYG. ARob vs GB

I'd definitely play Slayton. He was electric on Monday and obviously, Miami is a great matchup for anyone. For the last spot, either Sutton or ARob is decent. For PPR, I think I's play ARob just because he gets a ton of targets and short passes.

Well slayton v parker seems to be a common theme...what do what do.

D/ST for this week

Green bay Vs. Chi
Tampa vs. Lions

Tampa is tempting because the Lions 3rd stringer looks rough.

Tampa's run D is awesome and the lions haven't figured out a run game a few weeks after naming BSCAR the starter. Should be a 1-D game. He puts 100 on the ground consistently but 0 TD. Golladay has too much TD workload or something, I don't watch Detroit.

Green bay should hammer TF out of truebusty. They are head and shoulders above dallas in coaching staff.

Really you could assembly a few sports Miscers and make a better coaching staff than Dallas....

well we would go and make trubisky look like a 40m QB with a better defensive unit on the field

If you're talking about Slayton vs Parker, I'll never be convinced to start Devante Parker, LOL, been burned too many times. In your case, though, it's Slayton vs either AJ Brown or Deebo Samuel, and both of those guys are in a good position, too. Houston's secondary is burnable and SF should throttle Atlanta. It's a tough call. All three of those guys are easily startable, but I'd probably stick with the guys you have in right now.

Non-story

He wanted to play in the game but the team wouldn’t let him.

Hunt over Freeman is a smart play?

It's not a huge deal (and hence no team discipline coming), but Gase was right that the optics are really bad on that. First of all, you're told you can't play because your flu virus is too contagious to be around your teammates, so you go out in public bowling? That's a public health issue. If I were one of his friends he went bowling with, I'd be like, thanks for making me sick, azzhole.

For what it's worth, I have Freeman, Montgomery, Hunt and Bell..... Freeman is most likely taking a backseat due to matchup.
