It was 4th down, get the FG, hope to hold them and then try to score a TD and 2 pt conversion to take it to OT. Go for the TD, and do the same on the next drive. No OT. Play to win.

Players going out with injuries is never the way I like it to happen though. 2 minutes ago, FinishTheDrill said: Its coming together, right? It is coming together, but with the other 4 RB's I have Drake will never sniff my starting lineup. I hope not at least. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its a 100% inevitablility, and anyone who uses the concept of "handcuff" is basically saying "if the starter gets hurt". No one likes injuries, but its a fact of the game and guys are compensated accordingly right from the start. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By kicking the FG, they allowed themselves to stay in the game. Their defense couldn't hold. If they had, they would've been right there. Them's the breaks. Ask any good football mind, what decision they'd make there and you'd get the answer of FG, resoundingly.

He was out of my lineup but I entered him last minute in favor of G Pickens. Next week he can become someone else's headache. I can't wait to wake up Tuesday morning. I'm going to drop Bateman's ass soo hard that my keyboards going to explode. 💥 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevegrab Posted October 28, 2022 Share Posted October 28, 2022 (edited) 10 hours ago, Holy Tuck said: I am actually glad I kept Kenyan Drake as my 5th RB. He has had a pretty serviceable game tonight. But would you ever consider putting him in your lineup? Based on how you've talked about BAL RBs in numerous posts I doubt it. Maybe if there were only one left active, and Lamar was playing with a broken leg Just read where you stated as much in this thread. Some teams are desperate, they need to find points where they can. 12 & 14 team leagues with injuries and byes are thin, most teams don't have 4 NFL starting RBs on their squad (32 / 12 = less than 3). I started the season with what I thought were 3 starters, Jacobs, Akers and Conner and a couple backups (Mattison & Ingram). Akers quickly showed he wasn't the starter, but I was also struggling at QB and TE and my first RB move was Edwards in week 6, then another 5 RMs to grab other RBs (including dropping Edwards and re-adding him later as I needed a healthy player that week).

But since the Browns aren't going anywhere this year I'm happy hearing the Tompa Boy Bradys lost. May watch the game on highlights, their loss to CAR was quite entertaining.

Nope, I wouldn't consider playing him over Swift, Sanders, Connor or Gordon III unless I had several injuries to deal with. The whole committee thing at RB in BAL , plus adding Lamar into the mix makes for potential disaster each week. In my league Cam Akers sits on the Waiver Wire and I have OBJ on my team banking that he will be picked up by the trade deadline. I think I have chosen to hold onto OBJ instead of picking up Akers because my WR situation is a bit weaker as a whole than my RB situation. The Akers situation, if I were to pick him up over OBJ would be the exact same situation I am doing now. Just a wait and see where he will be traded to. If he doesn't get traded then I am screwed. I really don't know what the best decision is there. Regardless, right now I am holding onto Drake for at least until he goes into his BYE week.

Hopefully you can understand why some people are stashing guys like Drake/Edwards or Foreman/Hubbard as potential RB plays due to their situations. My WR are more solid than my RB, always have been that way. So I'm always scraping the bottom of the barrel, hoping somebody can do something. Heck this week Jacobs, Conner, Edwards and Hubbard all had injury designations, leaving me with Herbert/Mattison as the only 2 fully healthy RBs. And that is with 1/3 of my 18 man roster filled with RB for 2 of 9 starting spots. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As you can see with my RB's, I also had my share of injuries with Swift and Connor. Swift is definitely back this week and I hope Connor is as well. I fully understand why Fantasy Football Owner stash players like Drake/Edwards and Foreman/Hubbard. If these RB's do have to enter your lineup you can only hope that they put up serviceable numbers to keep you in the match up for that week. I have been playing FFB for several years, but certainly not as long as many that are on this site for sure as I am only 25 years old, but one thing I do know for sure is each week there will be players popping up to be considered as roster stashes. It happens every week and that is what makes FFB fun to play and to talk about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My league has 30+ years, most of us worked together when it started or were friends of the commissioner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FFB can provide us all with weekly headaches, but it is also full of loads of fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
