Week 14 Discussion Thread: Fantasy Playoff Edition

[Friarfan]

Andre Ellington is OUT this weekend.

Brandon Marshall is also done for the year.

Stepfan Taylor announced as the "starter" but I'm guessing Grice gets quite a bit of play - especially in the passing game. Still, I avoid that situation.

Too bad for Marshall. He's a guy I root for. I know he was a knucklehead early in his career/college, but it seems he's really gotten his issues in order and the help/,edication he needs.

That said, please, please, please let Alshon stay healthy (get healthier) as he feasts when Marshall is out.

Wow, the Cards are considering shutting down Ellington for the season.

[Erik]

DeSean Jackson out.

[Friarfan]

Rashad Jennings cleared to play.

But Williams will start and Jennings will be the backup.

Ugh! Worst case scenario for williams and Jennings owners

[Judge Jude]

from trautdiggity this morning

"For pure incompetence, the Raiders are still at the top, but from an incompetence-plus-drama perspective, the Redskins are #1. The Jets may not be far behind."

Rumors floating that the Skins will fire Jay Gruden after this season (let's remember he was just signed to a fully-guaranteed five year contract last offseason and the word is the rift is over Gruden's refusal to play RG3. If this plays out I will feel confident in saying the Redskins are more incompetent than the Raiders.

Anyone have zuerlein in playoffs this week? 2 easy fg misses an a missed extra point. Should have 7 instead has -3.

Yes. And -6 in my league.

Jude posted in the Week 13 thread and then started this thread. Maybe he's allergic to coming in here.

I thought this one was just for fantasy football playoffs, so I started a real one that got moved to here. whatevs.

[madducks]

Is Drew Brees playing today? Then why doesn't he have any points at halftime?

[Judge Jude]

Eli with the obligatory pick-6 with a 30-0 lead.

Rams, with two missed FG bunnies and a missed extra pt, do a fake on the latest extra pt and get a free 2 pts for a 17-0 lead.

Alfred Morris with 8 carries for 6 total yards, in spite of his longest run being 12 yards. that's hard to do.

He is infected with severe suckitude today.

[madducks]

After totaling 11 and 23 yards with no TD's the last two games i benched Martavis Bryant today. Bryant just scored on a 94 yard reception. He now has 7 TD's on just 21 receptions.

Well, Drew Brees is facing a powerhouse Carolina team that hasn't won a game in two months.
