Feel good about tonight. Jones going to drop 20 and I move on.
Either that or I’ll put up the second highest score for week one of playoffs and be sent home. Spare me.

And Hurts is now injured, so my fantasy season is 100% over before getting to play my first playoff matchup lol
"One day I won't be able to lift any more. Not I won't want to lift. I mean physically unable. That day could be decades from now or it could be tomorrow. All I know is that's the day I'll wish I could lift more than ever. The day I'd give anything for one more workout, one more set, or one more cardio session. So go hard and enjoy every workout, every set, every rep. Because one day you will wake up and you will never get it back."

For what its worth Vegas line pushed the Eagles to +6 recently so the perception seems to be he's likely out for Saturday.

It doesn't matter much though because my team isn't good enough to substitute Hurts unless it were like Mahomes or Allen. The reality is even if I got past this round and made it to the championship the #1 seed in my league has been dominate and was in all likelihood going to crush me. My team has had a lot of good luck to even be where it is, was hoping I could push it as far as the championship game but I always knew my team was overperforming.

To survive a downgrade from Hurts to Geno, I'll need Williams to really step up with big games the next two weeks.

Jones has to be hurt. I'm getting LaFleured hard. Thank god I'll be keeping Henry next year and I can finally move on from keeping Jones every year. Just too infuriating having him. First Williams now AJ Dillon. For good measure I drafted Swift so now I get handcuffed by both because Dan Campbell is equally a piece of ****.

Hard to imagine a guy misses no time with a sprained shoulder.

Obviously we'll never know now that he is injured. I do think he'll sit this week. After that we'll see.
What I don't think they'll do is just sit him the rest the way if they do clinch this weekend. It's not really a good idea to shut down your QB for an entire month and expect him to come back the first week of the playoffs after the teams bye and be running things efficiently.
If he's healthy and feeling fine by Week 17 I fully expect them to play him even if they win against the Cowboys this weekend. I also think he'll play the first half of Week 18. If he misses Week 17 but feels healthy for Week 18 I think he'll play all of that game instead.
Personal philosophy here, but I never liked the idea of shutting guys down for an extended time just because they clinched. You've already clinched a bye and have the extra rest advantage there. Don't go full retard shutting someone down for 3 full weeks in addition to the bye. Playing him Week 17 shouldn't even be a question if he's feeling ok by then.

Sirianni just said in an interview that he wasn't ruling Hurts out for this week yet, so stay tuned, although he does seem doubtful right now.

Long shot but I don't think it's out of the question just yet.

Need some help.
TE: Mark Andrews
Flex: Darren Waller
Bench:
DJ Moore
Should I bench Andrews? I will for sure if Lamar doesn’t play.
Also Fields of Lamar? Lamar kinda scares me with his knee so he may not be willing to run.

I have a couple questions that I need opinions on.
First, for a flex (full PPR), I have Aiyuk, Slayton, Pickens, J Cook, Knight, or D Jackson. I've been rolling with Aiyuk all season, but Purdy seems to favor Kittle on the seam passes. The matchup is decent, though, as Washington's front seven is much tougher against the run. Are any of those other guys worth starting over Aiyuk?
Same team, Fields or Tua? As just a straight up binary choice, it's Fields easy, but my opponent has Tyreek, so starting Tua is a way to partially neutralize his best weapon in case Hill goes off. If the Phins lay an egg and both suck, that's a huge disaster for him and a minor inconvenience for me.
Second, flex (full PPR), Dillon, Gabe Davis, or Knight? I'm leaning towards Dillon. I also have Jones, and I've been starting both all season to make sure I capture the GB RB points (since Jones is better, but Dillon gets the high value fantasy touches on the goal line). This has been a moderately high floor, high ceiling play (like last week when both had 20 points). I'm leaning towards keeping with that, just looking for opinions.
Same team, this is a TE wasteland team. I have Chigi (with Willis starting), Higbee, or Taysom?
Thanks.

Second - I was very impressed by what Tua managed to do vs Buffalo on a cold road night. But I'm going with Fields. I'm not gonna have Fields drop 45 points on my bench. Regardless of matchup/other guy's Tyreek
Third - I'll barely say Knight but this isn't something i feel strongly about one way or the other vs Dillon
Fourth - Okonkwo really isn't that bad but without Tannehill i can't do it. I'd just throw Taysom out there and hope for a surprise.

I have to decide whether it's worth it gamble on the zero floor, 1% chance of a 40 point ceiling for Taysom or hope Willis finds Chigi a couple times. Okonkwo is definitely someone to look at for next year as a late round backup TE who could easily be your starter by the end of the year.first - I'll bet on talent and say Aiyuk.

Second - I was very impressed by what Tua managed to do vs Buffalo on a cold road night. But I'm going with Fields. I'm not gonna have Fields drop 45 points on my bench. Regardless of matchup/other guy's Tyreek

First, for a flex (full PPR), I have Aiyuk, Slayton, Pickens, J Cook, Knight, or D Jackson. I've been rolling with Aiyuk all season, but Purdy seems to favor Kittle on the seam passes. The matchup is decent, though, as Washington's front seven is much tougher against the run. Are any of those other guys worth starting over Aiyuk?
Same team, Fields or Tua? As just a straight up binary choice, it's Fields easy, but my opponent has Tyreek, so starting Tua is a way to partially neutralize his best weapon in case Hill goes off. If the Phins lay an egg and both suck, that's a huge disaster for him and a minor inconvenience for me.
Second, flex (full PPR), Dillon, Gabe Davis, or Knight? I'm leaning towards Dillon. I also have Jones, and I've been starting both all season to make sure I capture the GB RB points (since Jones is better, but Dillon gets the high value fantasy touches on the goal line). This has been a moderately high floor, high ceiling play (like last week when both had 20 points). I'm leaning towards keeping with that, just looking for opinions.
Same team, this is a TE wasteland team. I have Chigi (with Willis starting), Higbee, or Taysom?
Thanks.

Big Dick Nick starting for the Colts this week. Just an FYI. If you're considering starting him in a fantasy playoff game, your team is fukked.
Jeff Driskel will continue to rotate with Mills at QB for the Texans (and presumably get the red zone snaps if they ever get to the red zone). This is notable because he has TE eligibility in Yahoo for some reason.

Pick 1 defense:
Philly @ Dallas
Detroit @ Carolina
Chargers @ IND
Feels silly to bench Philly for either of the other two who had horrible starts to the season but it seems like it might be the right choice based on matchups.

Hurts ruled out now official as of this morning.
I dropped Deshaun Watson and actually picked up Pickett due to the weather conditions expected in Cleveland on Saturday. My only other reasonable option would be Purdy who has his own ailments. Mostly hoping for a career day from Pickett. Thoughts on that choice? Would anyone else stick with Purdy or Watson?
Other things I'm considering and wouldn't mind opinions on:
-Amari Cooper or Devin Singletary? Again going back to the weather, plus Cooper has his hip thing, plus he hasn't connected well with Watson the last few games
-Pat Freiermuth or Juwan Johnson?
Ironically considering Juwan Johnson in spite of the weather after possibly knocking Cooper out because of it. Main reason is with Hurts down I'm going to need everyone to contribute and I already have Diontae Johnson in as a WR. Diontae Johnson has to play and do well, that's not up for debate if I have any chance. I know Pickett won't be throwing for 400 yards so if Diontae is having his best game of the year (hopefully) including finding the endzone I have to assume Freiermuth's upside will be low. In contrast, Juwan Johnson is now a TD machine and genuinely has a chance at a 2 TD game at any moment.

"One day I won't be able to lift any more. Not I won't want to lift. I mean physically unable. That day could be decades from now or it could be tomorrow. All I know is that's the day I'll wish I could lift more than ever. The day I'd give anything for one more workout, one more set, or one more cardio session. So go hard and enjoy every workout, every set, every rep. Because one day you will wake up and you will never get it back."

Edit:
Murph is right though the Chargers have a trash defense. Even still, that Colts offense just looks non-existent to me.
My biggest worry with Philly is Minshew turning the ball over and Dallas working off short fields leading to points on your defense. Even if he doesn't turn it over I think the Dallas D is going to eat him up and give Dallas the better field position for most of the game.
