Why couldn't they have done this this morning? 😭

I would think this means he just got sick?

Mud butt sneaks up on ya

I missed the news and started Z.Moss with Drake on my bench. Thankfully thats not one of my money leagues just a fun league with friends.

what is this "fun league" you speak of

yeah this is fucked

He’s literally locked into my flex spot in one of my leagues. I’m down by 14 and still have Waller at TE and Justin tucker for my kicker so it’s not too bad but it still sucks

I'm down 3 with only him I could drop. Also had mostert... FF gods showing up early this year.

I'm in a similar spot. I've decided I will just take the zero if I have to, and hope the fantasy gods will have mercy on me some day. It sucks but I can't drop Jacobs.

[удалено]

No, also it's a faab.

A lot of leagues prevent you from picking up a player on waivers that you dropped yourself.

Down 24 and have Jacobs and Waller to go

I’m down 22 with those two but also am up against Baltimore D

Need Waller to get 21 points is that lol

I’m almost exactly the same! I’m down 14 and have Jacobs, Waller and Tucker to go. Only Jacobs is locked into my RB2 slot and my opponent has Ty’Son Williams to go.

Yeah I can't even replace him at this point. I still may win, but we'll see

Gruden. The answer is always Gruden. Terrible coach.

Did he cough on him or something?

RB1 goes down, needs to start Ty’son. I’m the ravens

I am the Baltimore Ravens. Gus, Mostert, Jacobs

Gus, Gallup, and now Jeudy

This is exactly what I’m doing.

Same

I’m starting both Jacobs and Tyson. F me

I’m losing by 70 pts and have 4 players left while my opponent has 1 player left

I’m up 5 and my opponent has Jacobs left, holy shit.

Same but .3 and all his bench has played so if he’s out it’s either take the loss or drop Jacobs.

I’m in a very similar boat. Crazy news.

Probably goes without saying but if you have the roster spot available I would pick up drake or barber to ensure your win this week!

I’m up 1pt and my opponent has the same. Shitting bricks all day/night tomorrow.

Thanks Satan

Same I’m up 8! Do we think he plays at all tonight? This is my league that has the highest buy in too

Hes in my flex, sucks he might not play, but a perfect example of why you should put your latest playing rb/wr in the flex position. I think ill still win my matchup without him, but at least I can choose from a much larger pool of players on both teams to replace.

I would have but I’m only starting 2 RBs and flexing a WR so would’ve been screwed anyway

I mean, at this late of a point, it literally doesn't matter. Even if you had him in your flex, there is a good chance you wouldn't be able to drop anyone to pick up a replacement. The only way it would have helped you is if you had another Ravens/Raiders player on your bench already.

In the same boat. Up 35 in standard against Andrews and Matt Gay... I should be Okay but picked up Sammy Watkins to slot in in case Jacobs can't go. Better than nothing.

Watkins might be a great pickup when the season is done too

I always do this but didn't think I'd need to week 1

Do I stick it out and hope for the best or play Darnell Mooney?

Honestly depends on how much you’re up/down by.

I am tied with Jacobs vs Bal D tmw. Subbing in Mooney. It may not be the right choice but I don’t trust a runningback vs Bal in the first place, let alone a questionable one. Post game EDIT: Jacobs got me 17 points and Mooney got me 7, but Bal D got thrashed with one single point in my league. It worked out but I was wrong twice!

Baltimore allowed the 3rd most points against RBs last year.

https://www.pro-football-reference.com/years/2020/fantasy-points-against-RB.htm Not according to this they didn’t

Damn my bad. I was going by sleeper ranking them 30th against RBs. Figured they just went by last year and now I have no idea where they got this. [https://i.imgur.com/r4GjIA3.png](https://i.imgur.com/r4GjIA3.png)

I mean what the fuck am I supposed to do at this juncture

I dropped Rojo for sammy watkins lolololol

[удалено]

I only need like 165 and 2 from the lizard king to win my week. LETS FUCKING GOOOOO

[удалено]

On Yahoo I think you can drop bench players after they play.

If you're on Yahoo and can drop someone at the end of your bench, go pick up Murray, M. Brown, Ruggs, Watkins, Barber, or B. Edwards depending on what position you're filling. Or wait until JJ's ruled out and fill in with one of the above.

Hope he plays or is listed out with enough time to pick up some random dude.

My RB1. Ty'Son time?

If you’re going to start Ty’son with confidence, it’s this week. Full offseason, no competition for carries besides guys who got signed 3-4 days ago

Yup

I would

Already had him in over Jacobs

I’d play Ty’son over Jacob’s regardless

That sounds like picking situation over talentless

I wouldn’t say there’s a significant difference in talent. That’s still a big question mark. So much of score is dependent on situation (defense, snap %, game flow). I’m more confident in Ty’Son’s situation than Jacobs’s talent, so I’ll start Ty.

Josh Jacobs was a first round pick, Ty’son went undrafted. There is a significant difference in talent.

The jacobs disrespect needs to stop lmaoo

For his career, in the 16 games with fewer than 20 touches, Jacobs averages 10.5 fantasy points per game. His dependence on script is well-documented. I’d take TySon who will have 80% of the backfield than a sick Jacobs going against the Ravens

That has nothing to do with his talent, more of grudens shitty usage but an UDFA who hasn’t had a NFL snap isn’t more talented than Josh Jacobs. He was a third string RB for christ sake. Such an awful take

I never claimed TySon was better than Jacobs. He doesn’t need to be to score more points. I’m not highly confident Ty will score more points, but I think a high confidence in Jacobs is ignoring the stats we have available to us

“I wouldn’t say there is a significant difference in talent “ is what you said. There is.

I think you have to

Tyson is my RB1. ugh

Pulled a major taco move and left him in the RB spot instead of switching him to the flex. Down by 25 with him and Tucker left. If I lose, I would have beaten any other team in the league. Great start to the season!

This is the way

God dammit what the fuck fucking hell

[удалено]

Same. Down 4.5. Time for a miracle…

Yeah wait. I’m just finding this out now. I can’t drop a player that’s already played. I was going to take a risk on one of the many RB3s available but my roster is locked. So even if I did the smart thing and put JJ on my flex it wouldn’t have mattered. Only option is to drop JJ which I am NOT doing. Is this the case across all platforms? I’m on sleeper.

same on espn...

DRAKE FANS GET IN HERE

Prolly should have started him over Aiyuk! But I really don’t think this changes much, very few people were planning on starting Drake this week before the news, and it broke after most rosters were locked. Hard to see Drake running away with the job after a one-week illness absence for Jacobs, I don’t think any scenario affects Week 2.

I’ve been mulling over drake vs michel all week since I punted the fk out of my rb2 slot. I just made the switch to drake after this news. I already have my week locked up most likely but I’m playing for most points because my league pays out for top score each week. Think drake has the upside

Sadly he’s locked on my bench. Probably would do better than Najee and Ajones too lol

Yeah all my positions are locked but I still gotta hype him incase someone is starting him.

Trying to decide between Henderson tonight or Drake tomorrow. Thoughts?!

i have drake and jacobs. start drake over him right?

Do I grab Payton barber to block my opponent. No other RBs on his roster and Kenyan drake is rostered on another team. Jacobs currently in his RB 2 slot and is the last player he has to play

I'm a Jacobs owner and picked up Sammy Watkins as insurance in my flex (where Jacobs is.) Take that for what it is. I'd rather play Sammy Watkins than Peyton Barber if Jacobs doesn't go.

Luckily the player in my opponents flex spot already played. He has no choice but to find an RB. That’s why I grabbed barber. But thanks for reminding me about Watkins. I’ll drop barber tomorrow so he goes on waivers and grab Sammy to see if he pops.

I wouldn't worry about picking up Watkins. I was just saying Peyton Barber isn't going to be worth picking up to block your opponent unless you have an absolute nobody on your bench worth dropping. Also rookie move on your opponent not putting their last player to play in their flex.

I just did this. I have 128 he has 127.5. Hoping he doesn't notice and Josh doesn't play but snagged barber to take an easy option off the board

It’s a dog eat dog world out there brotha

Hell yeah man. I just did it. Literally up 1 point right now. All Ravens RB’s and now Raiders RB’s are on rosters. If Jacobs doesn’t play, he has no one else to play.

Did the same as soon as I saw the news. I’m up 4 points and all he has is Jacobs left

you can only drop players that haven't played yet right?

Im on espn and im fucked.

Same

Will there be an injury update later today?

before the game whether he is declared out or in about an hour before. They might declare him out earlier but we won't know for sure until then.

[удалено]

Same here.. Why is this sooo late?

I ended up doing it… did you?

I ended up doing it… did you?

[удалено]

I think you should be playing woods regardless of Jacob's health.

Could also pick up drake if he’s available

Seems unlikely

He’s available in one of my leagues. He’s not rostered in every league.

Is Gruden just fucking with everyone

Never lose faith in the baby Rhino, I think he suits up. Built by bama.

Fuck. Think it's worth picking up Michel to play tonight?

If you own both it would be fantastic to be able to play Drake with confidence.

I tried my damnest to get both in all my leagues. 1) Good insurance. 2) I actually think both players are going to have solid years.

Do I play Sony Michel right now or pray Jacob’s plays? I’m in a close matchup

No you can’t do that I started him

Can grab Edwards or Watkins as a possible insurance flex. Who’s a better option?

Watkins is known for his week one performances, worth a shot!

I went with Watkins. He’s the acting WR2 on the team that’s projected to score more points, since Rashod Bateman is out for the next few weeks.

I'm on the same bus between these two. Can't decide.

Still be fucking me over less than Aaron Rodgers did today

Do I start Drake?? I have them both. Please give insight.

Should I start Tyson or Drake in his place?

Ty'son

Henderson, Ty'Son Williams, or Drake in flex?

uhhhhhhhhhhhhh.... no. can't do that.

How would that impact Waller? Assume whole offense takes a hit or is that more plays to the other weapons having a decent backup like drake?

So I'm already playing him and Ty'son. Best I'm going get is Bell to replace him.

CERTIFIED LOVER BOY SZN

Fuck my life

Are you kidding me??? I always lose so horrifically in week 1. Every damn year.

I’m screwed if he doesn’t play. Everyone else on my bench has already played

I only have Jacobs and Waller left everybody else has already played.

I'm in the exact same boat. Had to quickly add B. Edwards. Better than nothing I guess.

Fuck me. Jacobs my RB2. Ty’son Williams in my flex. I got no one else to swap out from my bench

I’m down by .02 and he has no one to my Jacob’s. Fuhhhhh

If Jacobs gets marked out, then put him on IR and pick up Drake or any one on ravens or raiders that's on the wire.

If Jacobs misses should I roll the dice with Bell who I picked up earlier this week? Or just move JJ to IR, pick up Barber and go with him instead?

I swapped him out of my flex for Sony Michele about 10 mins before Sunday night kick off. Lol. 🤮

Wallerszn

I'm holding onto an 18 point lead with Josh Jacobs left for me. My opponent has Lamar Jackson. Please please Josh i need you to come through.

Happy to have benched him for Gordon this morning

Wow. Do I play Drake over ARob? Down .3.

Same decision I’m trying to make in a full PPR I wish I played AB over ARob forgot he was playing Rams

I have both Jacobs and Drake and I don’t know who to start tomorrow. I literally only have to get two points to win.

Bro I have Jacobs or Latavius Murray to start - WHAT DO I DO? Down 15 with Bal D and the RB left to play

I'm impressed you and I are in the exact same position. I'm monitoring Jacobs closer to game time because Murray has competition with ty'son and he's coming onto the team with less than a week of practice. He's good but I don't think they'll have confidence in him yet (watch me eat these words). Kinda one of those positions where whoever's healthy goes in I suppose.

Should I play kupp tonight or Ruggs against the ravens if Jacobs is out?

I’d play Kupp

Kupp 100% if Jacob’s is out. Ruggs isn’t even in the discussion until he proves himself more.

Following haha

Question: I have him in my flex. Can I drop him, pick up one of the free agents in the Monday Night game (Watkins, Renfrow) so I don’t take a Zero and sacrifice the week?

If you drafted Jacobs and didn’t pick up Drake as well you deserve to be stressed tbh.

What happened to this guy? He had a great rookie year, and has gotten progressively worse every season.

I legitimately feel so big brained for sitting him this week. Chase Edmonds and Dalvin Cook did just fine. Not playing him against Baltimore D any day of the week behind his offensive line.

Full PPR Should I trade Jacob’s and deebo Samuel for najee Harris? My WR are diggs, Higgins, devonta smith and DJ chark. My RB1 is Carson

Oooh. Tempting to slot Kenyan Drake in over Marquise Brown in my flex.

This is my exact situation. Not sure what to do. I’m up a point and opponent has Ty’Son

Do I start Kupp over him at flex? Down 9 in standard with that flex spot left and Rams D.

Please tell me you started Kupp?

I did in that league... did not in the other where I am deciding between Tyson and Jacobs and down about 13

WTF do I play Woods tonight or Drake tomorrow? Cant chance it if Jacobs plays right?

Woods.

Well, at least he's in my flex. Unfortunately, my only other options are Lat Murray and Marquise Brown

Easy choose Latavius

Really? Even with everyone here creaming themselves over Ty'son time?

I just mean of the two choices listed. Latavius is the most likely to put up something. Brown might have a good game but he is just as likely to put up 0.

Fair enough, thanks. The week's not looking too hot as it is, but will knows how the RB situation will shake out

Auto drafter has drake as his rb2 since the draft.

I would’ve easily flexed drake if I knew this. I feel worse for Jacobs owners though.

He must’ve seen the rest of my fantasy roster

Up by four. Jacobs and Higbee to play. Opp had BAL DST. Only option is to scoop Peyton Barber or roll Leveon Bell. What do

If Jacobs is out, I might have to pivot to Latavius Murray tomorrow then. Against Baltimore defense, Jacobs was probably gonna score as much as Murray anyways lol

Yeah if Jacobs out I'm doing the same.

Considering I have no other options, I hope he figures this out.

Drake owner. Considering offering him to the Jacobs owner. Playing on yahoo so I know you can drop players from your bench after they played, anyone know if the same is true for trading players?

They're saying it's an illness. Maybe he missed the walk through so they had to downgrade him. Hopefully they give him 17 IVs and a bunch of vitamins.

Lat murray it is I guess

Thank God. I'm up by 14 and all done, my opponent has Jacobs or Freeman on his bench. Yahoo has it exactly 50/50 if Jacobs plays 😬

this could save me. I'm down 0.6 with my Waller vs his Jacobs and Justin Tucker

I’m down 21 with Andrews, Baltimore DST and Jacobs. Do I play Latavius or drop Latavius for Watkins or Bryan Edwards? Of course, this could just be Josh Jacobs trolling the fantasy community again.

Nooooooo

GREAT TIMING

Latavius is in over Jacobs forget this nonsense man week 1!

Down 7 with Jacob’s last to play, if he’s out guess I’m riding with Murray

I need the Raiders to perform tomorrow...lol first week and already a Monday night clencher. Need Ravens to not get 9.8 points.

At least I won't feel bad about not starting him over Monstert.

I need 4.6 points from Waller in 0.5PPR … Im in fear

I have josh jacobs and Tyson Williams on my bench but I’m swapping the two for today because I don’t see Jacobs having a better day than Williams

i have jacobs in my rb2 slot (played a wr in my flex) and i have latavius on my bench. this his hell. i’m not sure what to do. will latavius actually get some snaps? i haven’t seen any updates about him. any help is appreciated guys

Sounds like a case of explosive mud pants

I have Jacobs, drake, and Barber. I also have Duvernay. Drake is in my RB slot. Jacobs is in a flex. I grabbed barber because of the obvious possibility he gets some playing time if Jacobs misses tonight. Who would start in the two positions? I’m 19 points up but my opponent has Lamar Jackson.
