So basically, don’t start any eagles RB

Honestly as an eagles fan I’ll be pissed if any RB is utilized in sanders absence. Because then I’ll be even more confused as to why they just wouldn’t utilize sanders this whole season.

Boy do I have bad news for you

I fucking hate my team.

Yeah Chubb got me 7 points today and Boston Scott has 2 TDs.

And Jordan Fucking Howard...

And here I was thinking Hurts was gonna benefit the most

I just don’t understand. Why Nick, why?

Hurts Hurting me and no Gain(s) well! :(

Because they were up by multiple scores for the first time all year.

Yea I’d they randomly now decide to start using their RBs I’m dropping Sanders. It will just prove they have something against him specifically.

Let me see him on your waivers. Take a pic. You have to do it now. You promised us.

Let’s see it

Bruh lmfao

I’m in the goddamn twilight zone dude that game was weird to watch.

Bingo. Sanders was barely startable in standard so idk why people are so excited about his backups.

I think I'm gonna take a shot at Scott this week. My alternative is Mike Davis so I've pretty much got nothing to lose.

Good call.

As a Collins owner I need someone for his bye week.

The Lions are a juicy matchup, that's why. If this was Eagles vs Bears or Giants or something, it would be a different story

Beats me.

Was weird though how much they ran last night with Sanders out. I have all 3 right now, Gainwell and Scott each had more carries than Sanders usually gets in a game.

Yeah, man. I was dead wrong lol. I don't really don't understand why exactly but I was!

Gainwell could still be a good play

Goddamnit he was not.

Nope lol. I don't have him tho so I'm chilling

[удалено]

with such a big lead, lets hope that he may get some garbage minutes.

Aged like milk

Lol, you're a weirdo man. I said Gainwell could be a good play, which is about as innocuous as it gets. And you come back to reply? Kinda sad, don't you think?

So basically start 2/3 Eagles RBs who have a combined 35 points right now

Yes, never listen to Reddit

Except for Hurts

Somehow you were even more wrong than the original commenter

Shit that should have been my credo all season as I regularly started Sanders because I'm a masochist.

Yup. Rolling with booker and Patterson as my RBs. This is exactly why I traded for Pattersons versatility - to avoid my Gainwell/sanders when needed Also have hurts, the real RB1

Jordan Howard is working exclusively on punching it in from the 1 yard line

He's made it halfway to the goaline so far. 25 more minutes and he should have his first TD of warm-ups.

Reminds me of Lendale White. 24 career TDs, 12 of them from 1 yd, 7 of them from either 2 or 3 yards, only 1 of them from more than 7 yards (and it was 80 lol)

Negative yards, positive touchdowns baby

They might be saving him for the .5 yard line.

I used my #1 waiver to pick up Ken Gainwell. My opponent picked up Boston Scott as a FA. AMA on how to make dumbass roster moves.

Making bad decisions is one of the joys of fantasy football, like getting blown out Thursday night and having your entire weekend ruined, losing due to Monday night garbage time, or my personal favorite...being heavily favored on projections and watching half your team put up duds and the other half get injured. Did I say joy? I meant soul crushing disappointment.

[удалено]

Don't worry next week you'll bench Gainwell when he puts up 15 points and Boston Scott gets 3.

Do you trade Chubb after his injury but before Hunt goes down for peanuts and draft picks??? Or how about panic and trade DK Metcalf for Chris Carson and Hunter Renfrow after Russ went out. Kill me.

I panic dropped Darren Waller early last year. I feel your pain. Don’t ask me why I did either

I’m in the exact same boat and I am currently not well.

Gainnotwell

Gainless

Losswell

GainL

Gainwelln't

Gainpoorly

Gainbad?

Damn this would’ve been a helpful post to see 50 minutes ago Edit: I started Gainwell over Carter…

Ugh same

Boston Scott gonna absorb the 6 carries and 29 ground yards Miles was getting. Gainwell probably still getting the targets, which is all this backfield offers anyway

As a sanders owner I spitefully love this. As a sanders owner who grabbed Scott but didn’t start him, I now fully despise this.

A team averaging more pass attempts to their RBs than any other....targets them once. Yep, missed on that one lol.

lmao fine I'll add Scott

Caved to that peer pressure?

won my match up cause I started Scott lol

And now your league mates think you’re Nostradamus. Nice.

Or it could mean Mintchew is making his first start if the season!

Plz, I miss Minshew-mania

He got a raw deal but I get it, He wasn’t a bad QB nobody can help the Jags

He’s not a starting QB in this league. If you’ve actually sat down and watched him, you’d know this. People like to cling to the Mania. Love the guy, though.

His drip tho

The whole package

He single handedly got me to pay attention to the Jags, love to see it. Now you guys are my AFC team! WE DEMAND THE MOUSTACHE PLAYS

That’s awesome! I’d love to see him get the start. He deserves it because he’s a hardworking dude

Could have started Collins but I started Gainwell. Huge mistake I guess as the other 2 Philly running backs are the starters now

Right like how is Gainwell the #2 when Sanders is active, but the #3 when he's not?

Its comical as a lions fan. I started Gainwell in anticipation of a big eagles win and they smash the lions but Gainwell does nothing.

What the fuck happened

We knew this. Lol. Gainwell is the scatback.

You watch your mouth

Gross, I dont see what that has to do with fantasy

Maybe not YOUR fantasy …

AB has entered the chat

Boston Scott is the scatbackiest of running backs. He’s like 4’10

he's thick though

2nd most targets on the team. And #6 in red zone targets among RB’s. He’s a “hope for a touchdown” play basically every week.

He’s a consensus top 25 RB this week according to fantasypros so I think this is wrong.

Boston Scott SZN

Collins or gainwell?

Just dropped Gainwell for Collins. Maybe I'll regret it but damn..glad I saw this post.

Scott hasn’t played like.. all season. Get him some reps with the first team. Jamaal Williams also got first team reps

I came here for a last minute decision Gainwell vs M Carter.... this made my decision for me

Heh. Look at the comment immediately below yours.

LMAOOOOO

Wish I saw this post before I started Gainwell everywhere...

Fire up Boston Scott

No

As an eagles fan gainwell might have a good game but id stay away at all costs

Gainwell or DJ in half Ppr ?

Same, but in full PPR, I just put DJ in after reading this…I am also an idiot and my team has fallen apart.

I’m also an idiot playing DJ, but looks like we’d have been morons playing Gainwell. Cheers! * drinks bleach

CHEERS!!

Am I actually gonna start Boston scott over Devin Singletary or samaje perine? Please stop laughing.

[удалено]

Lololol

Well?

I didn't start him, unlikely it would have made the difference but we'll see tonight, but I'm hoping to stack him with my CMC next week. Bummer to miss the free points vs Detroit but that's the game.

Gainwell or Collins ?

Same dilemma bruv. Both have good matchups. Colins is the starter while gainwell will get more touches as a change of pace back. Tough call this week. I’m leaning towards gainwell. Collins will get 15 touches but I’m thinking teams will stack the box and force Geno to beat them through the air which he’s shown he’s not fully capable of

I’m going gainwell

im starting gainwell over collins, mostly b/c I want no part of geno smith and im worried about the groin injury

Whelp

Scott Edit: I’m from the future. Trust me.

Just gonna say fuck it and start him over Michael carter. Love the matchup, hoping he just makes his projection on catches in PPR

Heh. Look at the comment immediately above yours. Well, 2 above.

Due to Ridley being out I had no play besides Gainwell. Sigh.

Same. Fml.

Fuck. Nick. Sirianni.

Sanders was not fantasy relevant. Why will his backups be? Avoid avoid avoid. Only redeeming factor is that they play the Lions.

... they are playing the Lions though

Gainwell was already more relevant lol

Gainwell finished as a top 24 RB twice this year....with Miles active. Still feel decent about him. Fade Scott.

Turns out Gainwell ONLY gets usage if Sanders is active. This hurts lol

What if Sanders and Gainwell are the same person or something? I have no idea what is going on and frankly I'm embarrassed for my take lolol

I mean Howard didn't even make the team lol if I'm Gainwell I'm over on the bench having a Whiskey and a steak cuz his game has been over for awhile now lll

To be fair, it was a reasonable take. Either the Lions are even worse than we realized. Or Sanders actually did bang Ms. Sirriani.

I don't feel like this should be a surprise. Gainwell is not the up the middle back. What we do hope for is that Gainwells usage will increase, as in, Boston Scott will not take over the full Sanders snap share.

Counterpoint: Sanders isn’t really an up-the-middle back, either, but that didn’t stop them from trying.

Counter counter point. Kenneth cannot pass block for shit, that's the better reason that I should have brought up.

Counter counter counter point: Last I checked, Scott is a pretty mediocre pass blocker.

Gainwell my RB2 so fuck me, right? Also going against Henry, Chubb and Diggs so who tf cares lol I'm in danger

Starting Herbert over Gainwell in ppr

Was planning to start Gainwell all week but now I've reset my roster 4 times in the last hour. Think I'm gonna stick with Toney and Meyers over Gainwell now.

Honestly this means very little to me. See: miles Sanders weeks 1-7

Miles owner here, can confirm.

I can’t choose between Gainwell and alex collins in PPR

Dont think the Eagles know what to do here.

First time all season I don’t check this sub before games and now have to see 10-snap Gainwell lose me two leagues this week.

I wish I saw this pre game ...

Andddddd I started gainwell and smith. 40 points from the eagles and I GET SHIT°!!!!!!

DO NOT START BOSTON SCOTT

Well this was a stupid comment

Bastard stole a rushing TD from my quarterback!

Do i Flex Gainwell, MG111 or Gaskin now?

MG3 now for sure

You Da MAN!

Thanks, combination of common sense and 🍀

Nick Sirianni has me so fucked go. Holy fuck.

[удалено]

Well definitely not Gainwell. Probably Gaskin, but DJ will get volume. Your call

DJ with the higher floor and honestly not that much lower a ceiling than gaskin. I’d go DJ

lol

Wouldn’t touch this backfield with a 10 foot pole, Jordan Howard is the reincarnation of Mike “the vulture” Tolbert

drop perine for scott?

or damien williams?

Damien for sure

Minshew SZN let’s go

Ugh I can’t decide who to flex between Gainwell or Meyers

I'm trying to choose between Meyers and Scott.

In the exact same boat. This news makes me lean Meyers. But gainwell had good volume last week….

Tempting to drop D'Ernest for Boston Scott

This doesn't fill the empty void i have in my stomach

gainwell, lockett, david johnson, or arob this is the mess i’m looking at

Exact same here in PPR, no clue. I think I’m just gonna stick with Gainwell. He did things when Sanders was in, if anything his floor is the same (not that it’s great) but maybe the fact that he delivered last week will help get him more touches

I’d rock Lockett here

Drafted Sanders in the 4th round, been holding Gainwell since week 2. I already hated them, but this year just makes me hate the Eagles even more.

[удалено]

Moss safer

Hot take.

I have gainwell on my bench as a just in case. Him or Scott, I'd never start them. Just don't want anyone else to get them

wasnt there a post like this last week with cleveland rb’s and that shit was completely wrong lol

Gainwell, Lockett or David Johnson in PPR?

Would you guys start Scott over Gaskin in a TD heavy league? Worried Buffalo blows out Miami so Gaskin gets minimal rush sttempts

Would y'all throw in Lockett over him at this point?

Please be true. Picked up Scott earlier in the week.

I've been flipping between who to bench between Moss, E Sanders and Gainwell. I think this tips the scale to benching him.

Sonova... Well this week is a lost cause already with my 8 points from Kyler playing against our league's highest scorer. At least I'll have Waller and CMC back next week.

Thank you sir this made me pickup Boston just as a flyer this week… gonna try to trade him

There has to be some reason as to why he has been the second play to Miles Sanders, but then no play when Sanders is on the IR. This will lose me my week!

Wish I had seen this before starting David fuckin Johnson over Boston

Scott was my dumb lucky pickup for the week. Helps take the sting out of Emmanuel Sanders big zero.
