2023 week 17 - Championship week

[Anteaters]

Sounding like Chase might play this weekend. Seems weird to add fire to the fuel and then not get on the field.

Team 1 in my sig is in the championship game. This Chase thing is going to drive me crazy.

Furthermore, I'm going to be at the Baltimore game on Sunday (2nd row from the field!!!) to watch my Dolphins try to earn the #1 seed. What makes that crazy is I have Lamar and Tua on that same team in the championship game. I want to start Tua, but I want to start Lamar. It's a 1qb league. HELLLLLLLLLLPPPPPP!!!

On the Chase part the schedule helps you. You'll know if Chase is playing by the time you'd need to pivot to Pickens. The question will be if Chase plays do you start Pickens anyway. On my one team with Chase in the 'ship I think I'm just going to sit him regardless.

On the QB thing - you have to start Lamar. The match up against BAL is horrible for Tua. I'd have him well outside of the top 12. And Lamar is a top four or five option - either right before or after Purdy.

Yeah, I think I'm going to have to ignore my inner Dolphin and listen to FF good sense. Lamar is the smart choice here.

On Chase/Pickens, I'd prefer to bench Tre Tucker instead of Pickens. With Chase+Waddle out, I'm forced to start Lamb/Pickens/Tre. But yeah, with Pickens being a 4pm game, he'd be the only starter I could remove to get Chase in.

My bad - I only looked at your non-starters. I missed the Waddle part. My bet is we have a bit of a read on Chase later today. I'm not starting Tre Tucker if I think there's a 75% chance or better that Chase plays.

I am starting Chase unless he is ruled out before Tre's game starts.

I think I'm going to feel the same as 1pm Sunday rolls around.

Pittman cleared.
Zack Moss out.
Wheels up Jonathan Taylor!!!!

Pittman cleared.

I knew it was gonna happen. I bet Chase plays too. And here I played Garrett to be safe. Yet another reason TNF sucks balls.

It was wheels up JT last week too, and he promptly "went off" for 18 carries, 43 yards, and a score.

A scintillating 2.4 yards per carry.

I would preach caution on the expectations front there. This LV defense is playing well these last few weeks.

[MacDaddy123]

Well, off to a bad start.
I have Breece and Flacco on my bench in 2 different championship games.

Don't shoot down my plane! It was his first game back. I expect him to at least be in the 2.9 - 3.0ypc this week.

You must be deep at RB. Who else do you have?

[Oddball456]

Given the timing of the Cin game, and my options, in case Chase is out I picked up Trenton Irwin. I have no other WR in that time slot or the late game. Would be amazing to end up winning a championship with Trenton Irwin in my line-up...

[FantasyFreak]

So glad my Raiders took Ruggs over Lamb.

BTW, that play by Dak was next level stuff.

[CGW]

Well, off to a bad start.

Not sure how one sits Breece Hall these days. Super deep at RB? Start zero RB with super strong WRs? Just trying to decide how id sit the RB3 in the finals.

I hope the Lions figure something out during halftime. I’m going to need a lot more out of Gibbs in the second half, and this offense needs to start clicking as a whole for it to happen.
