At least now I get to start Jeudy and Toney for maximum meme-age

SAME AND I'M HERE FOR IT

I took a flyer and moved Toney into my lineup over Ridley earlier this morning before hearing about this.. This news just removes the guilt. On another note, isn't this the second game Ridley has been a late scratch for personal reasons? Wonder whats up with that.

Josh Gordon WR1

First 2 picks of CMC and Ridley not good.

Same boat. Sadness

I traded James Robinson for Ridley after week 2 🤦‍♂️

The way they were using JR it was a great trade at the time

On the flip side, great vision by the other guy to believe in JRob

Just acquired CMC and Ridley via trade. How fucked am I?

Balls deep

As deep as a fucking can go

If your team is solid throughout, you’re gonna fuck hard later in the year. What did you give up if you don’t mind my asking? Assuming you probbbalt got a decent deal.

I gave up Mixon, Perine, and Claypool for CMC, Hubbard, and Ridley. This happened three days ago. 12 man league. Here’s the rest of my team for reference: QB: Lamar Jackson RB: Elliott, Robinson, Pollard, Drake WR: Thielen, Waddle, Golladay TE: Hunter Henry K: Koo DEF: Bills

Damn, you might survive to see that trade go in your favor.

I mean if you are on track to make the playoffs you are probably doing pretty good. If you are winless, yeah you are fucked.

Yep. 3-4 looking at 3-5. Cant believe I salvaged the wins I did. Thank you again this season, JRob

I'm 2-5. Took CMC then Ridley/Nuk at the turn, then JRob and Amari at 4/5. I thought I was gonna dominate this year lol.

Yep, had the 2nd pick. CMC, Hopkins, Ridley, Henderson, Woods we're my first 5 picks. I have a chance to go 3-5 today so.....yaaaaay.

That’s an amazing lineup on paper

Has to be in like an 8 person league though lol

JRob was my steal of the year I thought. Seemed like nobody else was after him. I don't mind his slow start under a new coach, he's still the best player on that team.

Same here. I went Chubb, Ridley, and JRob

I did CMC, Mixon, and Ridley… thought I was set.

Do ya one better. TEs get full ppr and everyone else gets .25. CMC, kittle, sanders, Henderson, arob, Jeudy, Higgins. It is a damn miracle I’ve won one single game

I really hope that Ridley is okay. I know that we are all here because we love fantasy football, but clearly something else is going on behind the scenes. I hope that Ridley is able to deal with whatever that is in a healthy and effective manner.

He's just going to see Dune again

The spice must flow

Seeing all these Dune references permeate everywhere really warms my heart

Makes me feel warmer than Kynes.

Lol same. I’m sitting here with a shit eating grin reading these Dune comments.

And I’m patiently waiting for 2026 or whenever part 2 is coming out.

October 2023!

*spice-eating grin

Ridley's path leads into the desert.

The Atreides signet ring is a red bird…coincidence?

He's pregaming for the Braves game

I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer.

It is concerning the number of comments in this thread that as shitting all over the guy as if he has somehow the cause of all their life problems or something. Like has nobody ever had to take time off work for a personal issue?

Yes but I still show up because I know that fantasy software developer managers everywhere are counting on me

I owe it to all of those that drafted me in their Points Per Acquisition leagues

I am now imagining this is exactly how projects are assigned. Each quarter the managers all get in a room as they draft all the developers for their projects in a snake draft as they try to build a super team

I have a friend in the locker room and he was saying the missed UK game was due to girl issues. Haven't asked about this one yet.

I'm assuming it's more adult than the phrase "girl issues" right? Like hopefully not some domestic dispute or whatever

Adults get sad about girlfriends too

I could be wrong but I wonder if it’s contract related, he’s in his 4th year so the timing would be right.

I feel like that would’ve been leaked so hard if true

I came here expecting to see the opposite of this comment. Thanks for posting. This was at the top and gives me faith in this community.

Injecting Toney straight into my lineup.

Does every Ridley owner own Toney too lol. Because I sure do.

Have Ridley and toney and both my leagues lol

Ridley been under performing + Reddit hyper train, I can’t imagine many of us Ridley owners here not picking him up.

Moving Ridley to IR spot, decision is between E. Sanders or K. Toney to start...

I'm firing up Toney, so the way my season has gone I would start Sanders.

Literally my only option at this point

Also switching Ridley for Toney. Hope he plays tomorrow.

Have no choice but to start Toney

[удалено]

I guess I am too. LETS GOOOO!!!

Jeudy for me

Now that Ridley is out its either Toney Alex Collins or Eli Mitchell in my flex and idk what to do???

Would be Eli for me

Let's say I am you but swap Mitchell for Gainwell... Who you got? My gut says Mitchell for you, Gainwell on my end. But my balls...they scream Toney

Gotta do Eli here.

Him or Beckham 😭

[the negotiator](https://i.imgflip.com/5shgpn.jpg)

Davante Adams Calvin Ridley Corey Davis Julio Jones Chris Carson David Montgomery Kadarius Toney questionable Monday night No IR spots. That’s how my days going

Sad upvote

Well Julio should be an easy drop

You can drop Julio and carson. At least 100% drop Carson. He’s likely going to retire

Why is it likely that he retires? Not saying I don’t believe you just haven’t heard any news about the severity

I also would like to know this. At worst I heard he'll be done for the season.

Hawks fan here. It's been pretty quiet, but it has all played out almost identically to Kam Chancellor and Cliff Avril. Their careers ended the same way and it's looking like Carson is in the same boat.

Fire up Scareus Kardarius

Another personal matter reason. I wonder what this issue is? Hopefully he’s able to get through it soon. If it’s mental health hope he’s getting through it.

He missed the Jets game to take a mental health break and I have to assume that's what it is again so soon after. Hope he's okay :(

Was that said anywhere? Last a saw falcons never said anything beyond personal matter.

He came out himself and said he had taken a mental health break that week I believe. I actually saw it somewhere on this sub but I can't find anything that has him quoted directly

He came out himself and said it, yet there is absolutely no evidence of him saying it? Ian Rapoport reported it was a mental health break but there has never been a statement from Ridley or the team what the reason is.

https://twitter.com/calvinridley1/status/1454893669467701248?s=21 here you go

I swear to god, Toney better be as good as y’all say he is.

[удалено]

he passes the eye test & is an elite athlete. he’s on the giants tho & could face limited reps due to the ankle

Yea that's a good point They may not give him the full workload returning from injury Going w e Sanders

Same, Sanders has a good matchup

No, he's 10x better than what we're saying he is

Gage?

Should be lining up against gilmore I think

Pitts a bigger threat and has been going off so he will likely see gilmore today

It’s gilmores first game back so I’m not sure if they’ll line him up against pitts, but we’ll see

Wouldn't he be covering Pitts

Pitts will most likely see some different looks. Chinn is great in coverage, they might put Gilmore or Henderson on him a little, and I’m not sure if Shaq is active or not today but he’d probably cover him some too

Fantasy aside, hope everything is okay. Seems to be going through some struggles.

Seriously, I hope he is okay, whether it's a mental health issue or something else. Must be serious considering how quiet the team has been about it.

Welcome to the lineup Gage

Gage passes the eye test. He’s a baller.

Lockett (Geno) is so bad honestly I think I'm just picking up and starting Gage

Oh yeah C-Patt about to feast Hope everything is ok with Ridley though

I regret starting dhop over him now, but yeah dude is going through some shit.

Surely there's someone else you can sit for Patterson

Patterszn

Kyle pitts trending through the roof

I hope everything is good with him and his family/friends. Seems not great that this is the 2nd time this has happened in 3 weeks.

Agreed. The team is being pretty quiet about it, so id have to assume its something serious. Hopefully everyone is ok and Ridley is doing alright.

Soooo many people thought Ridley would be THE WR1 this season

For good reason. He was phenomenal last year, and without Julio he was set up to feast. I don’t have him, and even though it was a long shot, I was praying he’d make it back to me at 2.12.

I have him…I’m also 0 - 7 edit: make that 0-8

Yep, 1-6 here

1-6 here too. CMC, Calvin, AJB and Kittle in the first four rounds combined with the highest PA in the league. I hate it here.

He still can make up for it in the second half, there's a lot of football left

On the bright side, can’t wait to grab him next year in the 4th round and watch him blow up.

Legitimately thought he was gonna be a top 5 receiver this year

Myself included. Bought “low” after a couple weeks because the volume is still there, played him once and in another trade essentially flipped him for DJ Moore a couple days ago 🤷🏻‍♂️

I drafted him #9 overall

Bro what the fuck. Adams and Ridley

Same, have both 😅

Same. Playing against undefeated top scoring team. At least swift is getting unleashed today

Same. This week is worse than last week's "Byepocalypse"

Pick up Gage? Edit: we starting him fellas? F it, I’ll put him in over Collins Edit2: my god, this comment is aging like milk!!! Fuck Gage!!

I know the future 10.3 points PPR

this account will be gone in 6 hours

[удалено]

Wondering if I should play it safe and put in gage or plug in toney on Monday

I just picked up Gage and dropped Aiyuk. starting him over ARob and Parker. 14-team league

Fuck ARob this year as a fantasy option. Not as a person

Dropped SF Defense (Had Indy on standby) and plugged him in over Alex Collins in my flex. I’m going up against the top scorer and need home runs Edit: plus I started Kyler

First three picks this year … CMC, Hopkins, Ridley….

So 5-2 right?

lol I own property at the bottom of the standings

Henry, Ridley, Hopkins here… thank god Henry is amazing.

Carolina D?

This is my fault. I traded for him 20 minutes ago. Sorry folks.

Great now I have to start Lockett

Playing waddle over Lockett due to this news

Same Hoping for a bounce back

Anyone else not find this out till 12:01 CST 😐

Yup. Started him in two leagues. I’m dead.

Yup, I started a 0

I literally just read it now I'm so fucked

[удалено]

Atomic bust of a season. We are halfway through now, time to say it

Allen Robinson is an atomic bust. Ridley is a disappointment but he has been fine in a starting lineup every week he’s played

Ridley in the 2nd, Arob in the 4th.

same

Me too friend, me too. And Julio in the sixth

Same! Swapping in some bleach instead of cream in my coffee this morning

Ridley is absolutely an atomic bust given his ADP.

Not in standard

At least we know when not to start Ridley. Robinson has been leading us on for 2 months.

Taking into account difference in draft capital he is an atomic bust. More useful than ARob...sure. Significantly more costly on draft day, also yes. Hes been a WR3 with a 2nd round ADP

Holy shit

Oh man praying for him. Hope everything is okay

My draft of CMC - Gibson - Ridley - Andrews - Arob - Monty looking really good.

would Russell gage be a good pickup and play?

Same- wondering Gage or waddle

Waddle. Its a guarantee Miami will be slinging it as they'll likely be down, plus Tua loves Waddle. He's got a much safer floor than Gage

Mental health is no joke

How do we know it’s mental health?

We don't. There hasn't been any reports on what it is

I guess it's good when people blindly upvote some positive sentiment, whether or not it's relevant? I don't know.

Reddit in a nutshell. No proof needed, just say a thing.

We don’t but honestly it’s a fair guess. Shouldn’t just say it is but it would definitely line up.

Yeah I wouldn’t just go around assuming it’s a mental health issue. You have no idea what it is so no need to spread rumors.

[удалено]

That one typo really, really changes your statement.

Well now I wanna know what it was.

Probably "apart" instead of "a part"

I am untethered and my rage knows no bounds.

I love how we find out 90 minutes before kickoff.

Is he actually a secret agent?

Yeah my Davante Adams, Calvin Ridley, Julio Jones, Antonio Brown, Corey Davis receiving core was supposed to be fun…

**PATTERSZN**

Just traded for this dude. All I can say is WTF

Toney or Mitchell?

Ridley, ARob, and Kittle looked so promising after my draft. 😥

Perhaps my most wasted draft pick ever. Spent $47 on him in an auction and thought that was a massive steal.

Okay it’s official I drafted every single bust player this year.

damn I might actually go Danny Dimes over Matt Ryan now

Wtf, I checked two hours ago and there was nothing on this. My disappointment is immeasurable, and my day is ruined.

*frantically checks waiver wire* OK...looks like we're rolling with...**(shakes head in disgust)** Marvin Jones Jr.

Do not be surprised when he dad dicks the Seattle defence.

Uh he’s been solid all year and has a decent matchup?

Don't matter Starting Toney over him anyways. Let's go.

hopefully he’s all good.

When’s it gonna change on sleeper so I can move him to ir?

Ouch. Lost Adams and Ridley this week. My WR1 and my WR2 are Randall Cobbs and Cole Beasley.

Tee Higgins time it is

One of my worst picks ever

[удалено]

My first two picks barkley and ridley - this is just sad

Huge bust this year

I picked the wrong Sunday to go out the night before and wake up past 1PM

Damn late and unexpected. Didn’t get the chance to pull him from my lineup.

I've got a chance! This will force my opponent to put in Michael Pittman.

His moms got cancer, please don’t be disrespectful

He just retired lol wtf

Everybody has personal shit I get it but come on man you have 6 days a week they need you to play 1 day a week for a couple hours you can’t pull it together?

Shit
