5fouls Posted October 25, 2021 Author Report Share Posted October 25, 2021 Well, I'm not facing anyone with Adams, but I am going against someone who has A. Jones in my ESPN league. Would have to think that Adams' absence (if he does miss) will mean more points for Aaron Jones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
5fouls Posted October 26, 2021 Author Report Share Posted October 26, 2021 Going into tonight, only one thing could keep me from winning in 2 different leagues. And that would be a monster game from DK Metcalf. Not a good start to the game for fans of 5fouls. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seeking6 Posted October 26, 2021 Report Share Posted October 26, 2021 I can't believe I'm actually typing this. Considering options on Aaron Rodgers this week. I mean I guess they could feed Jones, Cobb, and Tonyan....but we'll see. Just another week in the world of fantasy w/injuries, bye weeks, and Covid I guess.

Rule #1 that I believe in fantasy is you play your superstars regardless of matchups....but man a couple leagues I'm in I'm looking at other options.

Steubenhoosier Posted October 26, 2021 Report Share Posted October 26, 2021 Not a forgone decision that Adams doesn’t play this week. From what I have read, it is not clear whether he is vaccinated or not. If so, and he tests negative twice, he can play. If not vaccinated, I would say that there’s no chance he plays. Even so, and as much as it pains me to say it, the Packers have enough other weapons to make them dangerous. I have Rodgers as my quarterback as well and I am more concerned with whether their line holds up against Watts et al. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
5fouls Posted October 26, 2021 Author Report Share Posted October 26, 2021 The schedule Gods were not nice to me. I'm facing a 6-1 team in both HSN leagues this week. So, desperate times call for desperate measures. Given that Sunday is Halloween, I consulted with ex-wife #3, who happens to belong to an Order of Witches. She readily agreed to place a curse on my opponents this week. So, @dgambilland @btownqb, I'm giving you a heads up. Here is the curse she has placed. An eye of newt and a pinch of snail Those I curse shall surely fail All passes shall fall to the ground Running lanes will not be found Receivers will have hands of stone Scoring plays will not be known Kickers efforts will go wide right Defenses will soon lose all fight Fumbles, interceptions, penalties and sacks Points will be something your team lacks 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seeking6 Posted October 27, 2021 Report Share Posted October 27, 2021 Just a general question for anyone. If a league has started do people believe in changing the rules? Similar to trade let the league vote? Have a league where the commissioner (although I told him in July) is just now realizing week 14 has teams (Colts, Eagles, Patriots, and Miami) on bye when playoffs start. I'm not saying designing your team for playoffs is a big deal but it is a factor. He's wanting to change playoffs to week 15-17....of course him having Taylor, Damien Harris, and Jalen Hurts has nothing to do with it I'm sure. What say you guys? Allow league to vote and have title game be in week 17 where teams could sit players....or do it as is and plan accordingly? I'm a firm believer in the rules have been set. Deal with the consequences. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deal with the consequences. Remember, there are 18 weeks this season, so I dont think the number of guys sitting in Week 17 will be as significant as it has been in the past. That said, the rules in effect at the start of the season should remain in place all year. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With Arizona the Packers are going to go ball control. It could get ugly if they fall behind big. Not feeling because Lizzard is also out....so if Adams can't go...I think Arizona will frustrate Rodgers. Depends on matchups but even a guy like Teddy going up against Washington or Keenum against Pitt or Lawrence vs Jax. Wentz has looked ok lately...not sure Tenn secondary is as good as they played vs KC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carr as a backup might land you a decent guy you can play on Sunday...especially if you have someone that can sweeten the deal. Look ahead to week 13 to make sure you like that matchup too. Guess it just depends on your trust for Rodgers. Falling to 3-5 with so many bunched up there in the middle might be a tough hill to climb later....but you certainly won't be out of it....don't do anything drastic. Good luck!

Last 6 games without Adams....Pack is 6-0 and he's averaging basically 300 and 3 TD's. • 142/202 • 1,865 yards • 17 TDs, 1 INT • 125.2 passer rating • 6-0 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I normally never take out my starting qb no matter the matchup but not extremely confident anyone else has shown they are capable of getting open. Imagine this will be a heavy A Jones game imo. That said even if it is a blow out, garbage stats might be better than the alternative. Burrow is an obvious start. Against the Jets.....heck Burrow might should be your starting qb period. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Problem with Burrow is they could just hand it off 30 times this week and still win. I'll probably still go Rodgers but like to have options covered for sure. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ahhh....Burrow hasn't thrown for less than 2 scores all year....since week 3 after not having an preseason, coming off an ACL...guy has been top 5 fantasy qb...avg almost 330 yds and 2 1/2 TDs. That would be hard to sit imo....but I've been wrong before. Numbers are in his favor....even over a healthy Packer passing game. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
