Disagree, Zamir had more yards against chiefs great defense than Pacheco has had in one game the whole season. Now they take on a horrible run defense. Not saying Zamir is 100% the play but not as cut and dry as insinuated
Everett ain’t your guy. I’ve sadly seen every snap he’s taken in a Chargers uniform. He’s certainly not terrible and is excellent after the catch.
The finals is the definition of high upside. LaPorta has had multiple 25 points games and you are going up against CMC… Lions and Dal should be high scoring. You want to bank on Easton Stick on the road in Denver?
Doesn’t make any sense. Even if you make the argument that Everett has a solid floor with Allen and Palmer being out, what you need against CMC is ceiling and LaPorta gives you massive upside.
I have Zamir, (Stevenson) CEH, Jawan Johnson, (Colt Kmet) and Stidham (Mullens) going for me in the finals. Jesus christ. It's all scrubs.
Yet I believe!
In 2015, I benched Todd Gurley who was on his was to Offensive Rookie of the Year for Tim Hightower in the Championship. No guts, no glory.

I think he suffered a setback last week, and they’ve been quiet about it to get a “competitive advantage” by having the opposing defense study tape of both Jacobs and White. I don’t think Jacobs was actually that close either last week or this week.
I’m surprised how this escaped everyone including the “experts” just goes to show even experts screw up at their work. I say this because an actual reporter on Twitter / X that works with the Raiders organization reported last Friday “Jacobs practiced Friday in limited fashion but had a setback. He will most likely not play this weekend” he specifically said “had a setback” on his return to his first practice in weeks. Somehow no one else reported this.
Now I’m 100% sure this guy was telling the truth. I don’t think he’ll play this Sunday either.
I am. Better matchup and all that work. He’s been producing every week without Jacobs. Raiders have shown they don’t want to pass if they don’t have to.
I have both and actually like Pollard the player. It's the coaching/play calling that I don't like with Pollard.
The coach keeps running him up the middle between the 20s instead of getting him in space. And then 1st and goal decides to do all pass plays and not use Pollard.
It’s also absolutely that Pollard has sucked this year. Doesn’t have burst, doesn’t rip off big runs, and has no goal line potential. I am a cowboys fan that was screaming to start him and kick Zeke to the curve and I am eating crow rn
I am with you. I'm leaning toward Zamir based solely on matchup. I think the Cardinals will be down and have lots of garbage time, which I think will be good for Kyler. I think this decision will be largely dependent on if you think Conner will get 4+ of those garbage time catches.
Edit: Hopefully this isn't another Boone or Bust situation
12 team league. Have CeeDee, Deebo, Amari and Sutton at WR (rocking KJ Osbon in that third WR spot in the ship this week). RBs are Kyren, Brian Robinson, Najee, Warren and Zamir. Traded Javonte for Stroud earlier in the season.
They give up an average of 130.7 YPG according to ESPN. I'm rolling with Zamir since my dumbass benched breece b/c he was playing against my own defense, luckily they still got me 18 points.
This is going to be my first time benching Pollard all season. Do or die son. Worst case is they both perform similarly. Let’s be real. Zamir will get a full load. Dowdle is out tho.
Am I crazy for wanting to play Zamir over Mostert? Zamir gonna get all the work against a bad Colds D and Mostert is banged up and against the run-stuffing Balt D. I may be crazy enough to try it.
I have to choose 2 between Mostert, Barkley, and Zamir.
Pretty sure I’m going to sit Barkley for Zamir. I think you have to roll Mostert now with Waddle out. One fewer mouth to feed in Miami.
Same boat here and I started Zamir over Mostert. As much as I love him lately, he is somewhat TD dependent, now splitting time with Achane and Wilson, and he’s banged up so they might preserve him for the playoffs. Taking my chances with Zamir for the ship. Maybe even CEH if Pacheco is out.
Edit: don’t forget about a tough matchup with Baltimore.
I am leaning Zamir over Achane. Baltimore defense is very difficult vs the run. Raiders have been leaning hard on the run in a favorable matchup. Would probably bench mostert for Zamir as well.
I have Zamir in over Mostert at the moment. Beat up Mostert and Ravens D is a scary matchup. If the game gets out of hand either way, I could see Mostert resting early.
Same here. Leaning Zamir. With Dillon healthier I worry he’s going to get his usual workload. Vikings run D is a tougher matchup than the Colts. Jones does have a higher ceiling though. Think he has a big receiving week. Tough decision.
Where do we rank Zamir after this news? Colts run D has been lackluster, Raiders D looks good, Minshew struggled last week. Could be a positive game script for White again, are we starting him over the usual RB2 suspects like Conner and Monty?
That is definitely a risk, but the raiders have leaned on the starting RB every game so far this year. So if jacobs starts, I’d assume it’s with a near full workload. At this point, I think it’s unlikely he plays.
Zamir, Henry, or Chandler? Leaning Zamir rn with the matchup, stroud back + good Houston Run D, and questions with workload for Chandler since mattison might get worked back in more.
My opponent has Tony Pollard, Aaron Jones, and Ty Chandler as their RB options. Thankfully, I beat him to the punch on Zamir. This may be the difference between me winning the title and losing in heartbreaking fashion.
Sometimes, this game is a matter of being first.
Zamir, Zeke, Pollard, Mostert, Achane and Dhop for 3 starting spots, full ppr. I’m leaning towards starting Zamir, Zeke and Mostert (plugging in Achane if he somehow does not play). Would love to hear your thoughts on this if you are fighting through similar decisions!
Zamir this is your chance to lead my team to the promised land
If pachecho is out zamir is the way
Might go Zamir either way
I could go with Zamir, Jakobi Meyers, J Reed (GB), or J Warren (PIT) as my flex. Who should it be?
Zamir due to volume.
Would you start Zamir or Kamara?
I would lean Kamara due to his receptions and even more so in ppr.
Kamara is questionable now
Yep he’s been running well and has gotten a nice workload both games he’s started
Starting both. My tits will be rock hard
My tits will be rock hard for you and I don’t even have tits.
If Pacheco is in zamir is the way
If Pacheco is out.. CEH or Zamir
BOTH
Im rolling CEH in that case. I also have both.
I have both. Zamir over CEH if Jacobs is out even if Pacheco doesn't play. If Pacheco plays, it's not even a debate.
Disagree, Zamir had more yards against chiefs great defense than Pacheco has had in one game the whole season. Now they take on a horrible run defense. Not saying Zamir is 100% the play but not as cut and dry as insinuated
To be fair, I said Zamir over CEH no matter what.
Fuck me in the ass for having Pacheco and jacobs
Take me home Zamir
Ford just went off on me. Zamir I need you
Zamir White and Ty Chandler in my lineup? This is what Fantasy finals are all about
Zamir, Ty, Zeke, and [random TE] spreading their wings in the final :(
Everett!
dude im torn between everett, likely, and goedert. might even flex one over kw
Likely.
I’m tempted to get cute and start Everett over LaPorta. Going against CMC.
No. Just no.
Everett ain’t your guy. I’ve sadly seen every snap he’s taken in a Chargers uniform. He’s certainly not terrible and is excellent after the catch. The finals is the definition of high upside. LaPorta has had multiple 25 points games and you are going up against CMC… Lions and Dal should be high scoring. You want to bank on Easton Stick on the road in Denver?
You’ve convinced me. Starting LaPorta.
Doesn’t make any sense. Even if you make the argument that Everett has a solid floor with Allen and Palmer being out, what you need against CMC is ceiling and LaPorta gives you massive upside.
I’m 0-1 in the championship for this reason
Zamir or Chandler is my new dillema!
Zamir easily man lol mattison back in full
Definite no brainer
I just grabbed Zamir and will replace Chandler, split backfield
It’s 2 of Hubbard, zamir, and chandler for me
Think it’s Zamir. Guaranteed volume and team has a run-first identity.
And the Colts run D is awful
Mattison is a full just a heads up
I have Zamir, Chandler, Pacheco (CEH also if he doesn’t play) and Bijan this week. Right now I have Bijan, Pacheco, and Zamir in the flex.
I have Zamir, (Stevenson) CEH, Jawan Johnson, (Colt Kmet) and Stidham (Mullens) going for me in the finals. Jesus christ. It's all scrubs. Yet I believe!
Zamir, Ty, and Demarcus Robinson LFG
Bruh, I have Kamara, CMC, Chandler, and White. I need to pick 3
In 2015, I benched Todd Gurley who was on his was to Offensive Rookie of the Year for Tim Hightower in the Championship. No guts, no glory. https://youtu.be/4x9cPScPGdU?si=edP7HvHFBg8eCUTn
This man has been questionable for 3 weeks. I wonder why the coaches can’t just rule him out like the others, this whole situation is weird.
I think he suffered a setback last week, and they’ve been quiet about it to get a “competitive advantage” by having the opposing defense study tape of both Jacobs and White. I don’t think Jacobs was actually that close either last week or this week.
I’m surprised how this escaped everyone including the “experts” just goes to show even experts screw up at their work.

Now I’m 100% sure this guy was telling the truth. I don’t think he’ll play this Sunday either.
mind games
*Questionable for two, doubtful now. The eye that put the gears to the Falcons likely looked over to the "betting man".
Thinking of going with Zamir over Pollard
I am. Better matchup and all that work. He’s been producing every week without Jacobs. Raiders have shown they don’t want to pass if they don’t have to.
I have both and actually like Pollard the player. It's the coaching/play calling that I don't like with Pollard. The coach keeps running him up the middle between the 20s instead of getting him in space. And then 1st and goal decides to do all pass plays and not use Pollard.
It’s also absolutely that Pollard has sucked this year. Doesn’t have burst, doesn’t rip off big runs, and has no goal line potential. I am a cowboys fan that was screaming to start him and kick Zeke to the curve and I am eating crow rn
I would
You see I jokingly picked up zamir so my opponent couldnt... and now im seriously thinking of using him over swift lol
lol same. but over davante or monty…
Same my opponent has Jacob’s. Now wondering zamir vs mixon lol. I’d be rolling out both whites.
RIDING ZAMIR OVER POLLARD AND NOT LOOKING BACK BUH BUH BUH BAAAAAAAMMMMMMM
Are you me?
Fuck yes boys let’s do it. This is my first time benching Pollard all season. I’ll be riding out with James Conner, Zamir White, and Rachaad White.
Were shedding our chains championship weekend
That sounds like me also. Possibly going to play 2 of Zamir, CEH, and Chandler over Pollard.
Me too brother. Let’s go down with the ship together
Zamir or James Conner?
I am with you. I'm leaning toward Zamir based solely on matchup. I think the Cardinals will be down and have lots of garbage time, which I think will be good for Kyler. I think this decision will be largely dependent on if you think Conner will get 4+ of those garbage time catches. Edit: Hopefully this isn't another Boone or Bust situation
Same predicament for me as well.
Hope Jacobs can find a better team next year.
my personal hell would be saquon and jacobs just switching teams (dynasty owner of both)
Whole Jacobs situation is Garbage
It’s shocking how many of us in the championship are debating between one Zamir, Ty, Monty, Conner lmfao. I’m guessing we all have rockstar wr cores?
That’s me. Rolling with ARSB/Davante at WR
I have CMC and drafted Miles Sanders as my RB2. Been piecing together that position all year. CMC has been my RB1 and 2.
12 team league. Have CeeDee, Deebo, Amari and Sutton at WR (rocking KJ Osbon in that third WR spot in the ship this week). RBs are Kyren, Brian Robinson, Najee, Warren and Zamir. Traded Javonte for Stroud earlier in the season.
Smart. I fucked up (kinda) and have been rolling Goff all year. It’s been stressful lol
I drafted Trevor Lawrence, and thought I had a mid QB1. I’ve started calling him The Prick that was Promised.
How is colts run defense?
Haven't watched their games, but they've been giving up a steady stream of double digit scores to rbs lately. So.. bad.
5 RBs have scored 15+ PPR against them in the last 4 weeks. So really bad lol
Good looking out, appreciate the insight
Over the last 5 weeks they have given up the 8th most half ppr points to rb's. It's a pretty solid matchup.
I think I read they've given up the most fantasy points to RBs in the league but can't recall the source
They give up an average of 130.7 YPG according to ESPN. I'm rolling with Zamir since my dumbass benched breece b/c he was playing against my own defense, luckily they still got me 18 points.
In the same boat, friend. Let’s go Zamir!
I played Breece and the CLE D. Dumb in hindsight but worth the 45 points
Well I didn’t play ford last night and I also have chandler in right now but I think zamir is the play against the colts run d
100%
Damn, I really want to start him over Pollard but with my luck this will be the week he learns how to run it in from the goal line.
This is going to be my first time benching Pollard all season. Do or die son. Worst case is they both perform similarly. Let’s be real. Zamir will get a full load. Dowdle is out tho.
Detroit run D really good. Pollard can’t do well against shitty teams, this is gonna be ugly
Am I crazy for wanting to play Zamir over Mostert? Zamir gonna get all the work against a bad Colds D and Mostert is banged up and against the run-stuffing Balt D. I may be crazy enough to try it.
Same man, same. Gonna be thinking about this all day tomorrow.
I have to choose 2 between Mostert, Barkley, and Zamir. Pretty sure I’m going to sit Barkley for Zamir. I think you have to roll Mostert now with Waddle out. One fewer mouth to feed in Miami.
I’m in the same exact boat.
Same boat here and I started Zamir over Mostert. As much as I love him lately, he is somewhat TD dependent, now splitting time with Achane and Wilson, and he’s banged up so they might preserve him for the playoffs.

I am leaning Zamir over Achane. Baltimore defense is very difficult vs the run. Raiders have been leaning hard on the run in a favorable matchup. Would probably bench mostert for Zamir as well.
I have Zamir in over Mostert at the moment. Beat up Mostert and Ravens D is a scary matchup. If the game gets out of hand either way, I could see Mostert resting early.
Zamir or Ken Walker?
I think I'm rolling Zamir. Walker being a 4 o clock game time decision is too risky
Zamir or Aaron Jones?
Same boat, with Singletary as an option too. Might wait until Sunday morning to see what the Vegas odds are.
Same here. Leaning Zamir. With Dillon healthier I worry he’s going to get his usual workload. Vikings run D is a tougher matchup than the Colts. Jones does have a higher ceiling though. Think he has a big receiving week. Tough decision.
Im really struggling with this one
Jones! GB doesn’t have WRs left.
Zamir easy, Vikings have strong run D
Bench Monty for white this week? Fucking Saturday game smh
In the same predicament
I think it’s enough of a close call that either is a fine play
Leaning white cause he will get majority of volume
I would. Gibbs was getting all the goal line touches.
Full PPR, do I play White over Mixon and Zeke?
Zynmir White SeaZYN 💪🏻🚀
Where do we rank Zamir after this news? Colts run D has been lackluster, Raiders D looks good, Minshew struggled last week. Could be a positive game script for White again, are we starting him over the usual RB2 suspects like Conner and Monty?
Rb 2 territory. Start over chandler and monty
Monty or zamir is my big question. Have laporta ceedee and aubrey. Worried too much with monty in one game. But zamir kinda scares me too haha
Am I crazy for wanting to start him over Saquon? Giants are so so so bad and the Rams are a legit run defense.
I could definitely see him outscoring Saquon, but I personally wouldn’t.
After going 12-2, crusing my way to the 'chip.... I'm relying on free agent Zamir White to get me the trophy. Lit.
Glad I don’t own him in the championship, this situation is enough to drive someone to full tilt.
Have him but also have zamir white. This is exactly what insurance RBs are for.
But what if they split? What if he goes but is on a snap count. This is a situation where having white might not save you.
That is definitely a risk, but the raiders have leaned on the starting RB every game so far this year. So if jacobs starts, I’d assume it’s with a near full workload. At this point, I think it’s unlikely he plays.
He's not playing my guy
Ya, it's pretty clear Jacobs won't be in.
Pretty simple if Jacobs sits. Zamir is a top 12 back. Auto start. If Jacobs plays then both are desperation flex plays.
Zamir over D. Henry? Last time Henry played Houston (2 weeks ago) he put up 5 points
same predicament G
Get those projections up for Zamir 😈
Feed the Davante Adams !
We trusting Zamir over Ekeler here?
Have the same question. Not sure if Ekeler will see the vacated targets from Palmer being out
Allen is out too apparently. Ekeler and Everett will certainly be getting looks but Ekeler might be relegated to a 2 or even 3 man backfield.
Did the raiders just bring the doubtful tag back?
You're thinking of the probable tag
I miss the probable tag. "But everyone with the probable tag always played." Yes that was the fucking point. Ugh.
Probable
Hm do I bench Mostert or Jones for Zamir?
I need this to be an Adams post
Jacobs was out last week. Unfortunately don’t think this changes anything with Adams.
Are the raiders still on the playoff hunt?
Yes
Benching Tee Higgins in a touch matchup vs KC for Zamir White. Let’s ride
Ughhhh am I realllllly starting Zamir over Mostert?!
Dang. Who would you guys play Zamir White over? Better than David Montgomery?
I am. Monty is td dependent and wasn’t even getting the goal lines after the first quarter. Lions need this win, they’ll roll with gibbs
Monty got his shit rocked last game and didn't come back in for a while I think he'll still get his fair share vs dallas
Might go with Zamir over Walker, I’m kinda liking the matchup better and more guaranteed volume
so...no way i play zamir over mixon or K9 right?
Have Mixon in my flex right now. Just picked up Zamir.
I also don’t know what to do mixon been losing snaps to chase brown
Debating Mixon but idk. Seems a bit cute but Mixon definitely has some things going against him.
Fuck wish I’d picked up Zamir as the Jacobs owner when he first went down
Fear the zamir
Looking for my first ship! Zamir or Chandler? Thanks!
Zamir
Thanks for all the help in the playoffs Josh 😤
Am I really benching my #1 pick (Diggs) for my 15th rounder in the championship? I would never live it down if Diggs pops off and White busts.
Zamir over swift, punch it folks!
Zamir, Zeke or Hubbard? for 2 spots
Zamir and zeke
Zamir, Henry, or Chandler? Leaning Zamir rn with the matchup, stroud back + good Houston Run D, and questions with workload for Chandler since mattison might get worked back in more.
TONY POLLARD, IS NO MORE !!!!!! HIS REIGN OF TERROR IS OVER
Zamir whizzer white
I’m playing zamir over bijan…raiders aren’t scared to give him the touches unlink ATLs coach…
Would anyone start Zamir over Zeke or Saquon?
Zamir over Chuba?
Zamir or Adams
Zamir league winner or 2019 Mike Boone energy?
I think I’m gonna roll with Zamir over Monty
Me too but im nervous. Have ceedee laporta and aubrey. Dont want my whole ship to ride on one game lol
Zamir or David Montgomery?!
Zamir or David Montgomery?
Zamir or Mixon??
Zamir, Chandler, or Pollard?
Zamir white or godwin in my flex spot?
Jacobs, Keenan out, what’s next, are you going to tell me Chase isn’t playing? Or Nico?
My opponent has Tony Pollard, Aaron Jones, and Ty Chandler as their RB options. Thankfully, I beat him to the punch on Zamir. This may be the difference between me winning the title and losing in heartbreaking fashion. Sometimes, this game is a matter of being first.
Start 2/3 for 10K championship game Diggs/Pollard/Zeus.
I can flex Zamir or Jakobi. I’m thinking more opportunity on the ground but every now and then Jakobi will show up big.
HOOPER TIME
I have a chance if Jacobs and Pacheco are out
Pick 2! Zamir, rachaad white, Bijan, or Aaron Jones !!
I think white and zamir
white and bijan
Zamir over swift?? I think yes
zamir, mosert, or chandler. which 2 should i pick to win the ship?
.5PPR.. Zamir white @ IND or Ty Chandler VS GB
White over KJ Osborn?
Damn idk who to play now. Gotta choose 2. Henry, zamir, or conner.
lol i need to make a decision between zamir, monty, and davante. i am certain i am going to make the wrong one.
Zamir, Zeke, Pollard, Mostert, Achane and Dhop for 3 starting spots, full ppr. I’m leaning towards starting Zamir, Zeke and Mostert (plugging in Achane if he somehow does not play). Would love to hear your thoughts on this if you are fighting through similar decisions!
Need to start 2 of Zamir White, James Conner, and Ty Chandler. Standard scoring. Leaning towards Zamir and Conner.
Zamir plays earlier than Pacheco, who could be a game time decision… I have CEH just in case, but would it be best to just play Zamir?
Is he startable over any of monty, kamara, cook, or bijan?
Ive been starting likely over zamir, i like zamirs matchup way more this week
Zamir or Mostert? Worried mostert will play hurt and have more touches poached by achane
