From dead last in 8th to 5th with a playoff spot already secured going into the last game. Thanks everyone @X @acmilan @ALC @Völler :dule:

Thinking of starting Kelce over Gates. And is there really any reason I should start Tre Mason over Lynch, Lacy, Ingram, or Hill? He just seems to have a very good matchup, but I always end up getting screwed over when I go by that.

You got it imo. :D

How did you end up with all those great RB's? :D

Only a miracle could prevent him from getting it. :D

Have you been watching The League? :shocked: :D
I've been watching it a while, just a little more religiously this season. :D

Maybe it's just a personal flaw. I am unable to take things that are in reality "fantasy" seriously.

Big money at stake over here
I read Eurosport. Their version of "fantasy football" is every transfer rumor where every player in the universe besides Messi is playing for Man United next season. :andyandbarcelona:

This is why I hate America. Your grandmother may die and you still smile and continue like nothing changed. It's only when you all of a sudden find out that you're not in the will that you begin to cry. That makes me sad, and I begin to think what we as human beings are becoming.

Nice. :p But you were short on QB's, right? :D Do you have 2 flex positions or how do you get room for the 4 RB's?
2 Flex positions. But I thought it was more like fantasy basketball where you set your lineup based on who is playing that night rather than everyone all at once, so I tried to get backups for every position, hence the two kickers and two defenses.

Yea, I shudder when I think about what human beings are becoming...

in regards to fantasy football that doesn't have any money at stake

congrats, man :tup:

Would be tough to sit any of those RBs for Mason but Mason at home vs the Raiders is a pretty good play - Raiders have a better pass than run D, so Rams will likely go run heavy in this one.
Lacy should find it difficult to run on the Pats and will likely be TD dependent. He hasn't been running well this year, unless he is playing Minnesota, and is heavily dependent on a big receiving play or two, which he may find tough to come by vs the Pats (they aren't as bad vs the run as the media would like you to believe).
Lynch is having some injury concerns and above all, his center, Max Unger, is out. 49ers run D isn't too bad but isn't immovable either - Morris had a great game @49ers just this weekend - but it's the absence of Unger that makes Lynch's production questionable for me. Just for reference, Unger went down vs the Redskins earlier this year and missed the following 3 games vs very beatable run Ds; Lynch was poor in those exact 3 games and had a great day in Unger's comeback game. Coincidence? I think not. At the same time, he may well be Seattle's main weapon vs the 49ers, so he should see a lot of the ball.
It's a tough call who to sit between Lynch and Lacy but I'd try to find a way to start Mason this week.

I'll wait to see what is said about his injury first then decide. Thanks :delpiero:

No problem, man. Just keep in mind that this is my read on the situation and there is always a risk involved when you are going against the grain, so to speak. The safe play here would be to just start all the big-name RBs i.e. sit Mason.
I for one more often than not go with the match-up over the name and am not afraid to sit a "star" player if my gut tells me to. But that's just me :)

I'd probably do that as well if I knew anything about football :p
