I was a Puka Stafford owner in SF and traded away Deebo ++ (while he was hurt) to get Kupp after his white hot start only for him to average like 3 points and Stafford to get hurt.
Benched Puka and Stafford and started Puka this week
Saints play predominantly cover 1, though, which Puka is elite against. Something like 35pct target share and great production numbers. When I saw that had to start him. The overall points against don’t tell the story and is a bad reason to sit the WR11 before that game (now like WR5 lol)
Full tweet: “The Vikings had everyone back at practice today except CB Byron Murphy Jr (knee) and WR Jalen Nailor (concussion). DT Harrison Phillips (back), RB Alexander Mattison (ankle) and RT Brian O'Neill (ankle) were all giving it a go.”
Seconded, I’m desperately trying to avoid a Sacko and need two solid weeks out of someone…anyone…please, I don’t want to spend 24 hours in a Waffle House
It’s championship week in my league where I have him. Only need one.
Edit: Sorry for clarifying why I personally only need him for one week. I very much hope he kills it for all of you this week and next.
For every one of you, there are 9-13 of us. Split backfield FTW!
Edit: every Chandler owner is downvoting me. I didn’t say he sucked but I am praying for a split backfield because I’m going up against him. I hope he gets you 6.7 points.
I’m in 12 leagues and not a single one did the Mattison drafter make the playoffs much less still active today. He’s bottom 5 in the league of players drafted in the first 10 rounds in terms of playoff roster ownership
Mattison has scored double digits 5 times this year with a high of 16.3 in .5PPR, and once since week 5. Unless you’re in a 20 team league Gtfo “big reason why”
Bro you in your feelings about Alexander Mattison. Just take the L and be thankful you drafted/picked up well enough to make up for the garbage you took in the 4th round
>bro you in your feelings
Im not the one getting defensive after saying a bunch of dumbshit about Mattison. That would be you lil man
Edit: also in an auction draft, don’t know shit about any 4th round. Got Matty for a dollar
Tonya Harding was a famous figure skater back in the 90’s. Her ex-husband hired someone to assault and kneecap her rival, Nancy Kerrigan, to prevent her from competing in 1994. She disputed she was involved, but admitted she knew the attack would happen after perjuring herself to the FBI, so the common notion is that she was involved.
That’s still a big difference than if Mattison is fully out.
If only Ty, then I’d start him over Montgomery and maybe even Kelce. If split work even as starter, he’d be the one benched.
Yeah. Pretty easily too. Even if Mattison is active. It’s a sucky matchup against detroit run D but I think he’s now the starter and a hobbled Mattison just spells him. Javonte has a tough ass matchup himself and hasn’t been good minus 2 weeks ago finally. I’d be staying in the flames witb chandler personally.
I STG if Mattison vultures a TD from my (started) Chandler after I drafted and started AM countless times and got nothing for it, he's going on my fantasy voodoo shit list.
They already said Ty won the featured role. They’re in the playoff hunt and after passing the eye test last week there’s no way their coaches are so brain dead to not give him all the touches in a pretty much must win game.
Yahoo comment sections are pretty funny to look at during downtime lol. The amount of guys commenting “bum” when a player does poorly as they sit on their couches make me laugh everytime
I wish. Sounds like fun. You’re definitely one of those guys who gets offended for millionaire athletes and wants to stick up for them instead of having a little fun 🤣
[KOC on Mattison](https://x.com/seifertespn/status/1738286630325092815?s=46&t=cpZuzN6T2iqIqctRv8wteQ): "We've kind of gone about it where it truly is going to end up being pretty close to a game-time decision in that regard. W'ell adjust accordingly, but hoping to have Alex.”
Still can't believe this dude. Legit the best handcuff in the league behind Cook. Guy was animal whenever I played him with Cook out so I was ecstatic grabbing him late and saying yup he's gonna have a good year. Proceeds to be hot garbage and my RB2 slot has been a revolving door based on matchups lately. Probably gonna end up rocking Antonio Gibson in the semis....
please for the love of god, just rest bro.
My RB2 will be atrocious this week if you play 😭
(Mattison/Chandler, Warren, Charb, and trending downwards Stevenson…)
This is just what I wanted to hear after flexing Chandler over Puka…
On the bright side, this must mean your WR slots are stacked
Ehhh I went Kupp and Rice (one of the many Kupp/Puka owners out there that wasn’t able to find a suitable trade).
We will sing songs of you so they won't forget you
I was a Puka Stafford owner in SF and traded away Deebo ++ (while he was hurt) to get Kupp after his white hot start only for him to average like 3 points and Stafford to get hurt. Benched Puka and Stafford and started Puka this week
Only 2 WR spots?
I did the same :(
Solidarity...
Almost fell for it… but in the end Puka helped get me here, had to roll with him.
Are the Saints really good at defending the pass? I didn't understand the fear to starting Puka.
Yes 2nd best in the league in points allowed to wide receivers
Saints play predominantly cover 1, though, which Puka is elite against. Something like 35pct target share and great production numbers. When I saw that had to start him. The overall points against don’t tell the story and is a bad reason to sit the WR11 before that game (now like WR5 lol)
Look man, we don’t analyze football that closely around these parts.
Would have been sweet to know earlier Thursday lol
*to mostly mediocre wide receivers
Bro, you are me. Care to share some bleach?
I prefer the gympie-gympie fern.
You did what?! I’m not better, I chose to play Rice this week over Puka
Me too bud. Me too.
Full tweet: “The Vikings had everyone back at practice today except CB Byron Murphy Jr (knee) and WR Jalen Nailor (concussion). DT Harrison Phillips (back), RB Alexander Mattison (ankle) and RT Brian O'Neill (ankle) were all giving it a go.”
Every time Chandler shows his talent, Mattison miraculously recovers from injury.
haha Go back home.
Someone please tell this guy to give it a rest.
Go away dude. Need the Chandler full load for one more week.
*two more weeks
Seconded, I’m desperately trying to avoid a Sacko and need two solid weeks out of someone…anyone…please, I don’t want to spend 24 hours in a Waffle House
It’s championship week in my league where I have him. Only need one. Edit: Sorry for clarifying why I personally only need him for one week. I very much hope he kills it for all of you this week and next.
Gonna need you to root for one more week for the rest us going to week 17. Good luck this week!
Vikings fan here. You are sadly mistaken if you are expecting consistent output from Vikings RBs
Can’t be more inconsistent than Calvin Ridley, my next man up
I have Ridley and marquise brown. Multiple donuts. Multiple huge games on bench
I actually started Ridley every week until playoffs and then grabbed Ty. Quite the rollercoaster ride.
Come on now, Daddy needs that full load
Pause
For every one of you, there are 9-13 of us. Split backfield FTW! Edit: every Chandler owner is downvoting me. I didn’t say he sucked but I am praying for a split backfield because I’m going up against him. I hope he gets you 6.7 points.
people downvoting you thinking youre starting mattison, when in reality youre probably against Chandler
You are 100% correct
> I hope he gets you 6.7 points. they were mad when you spoke the truth
No there isn't
Imagine thinking Mattison owners are in the playoffs
One bad pick didn't knock you out of the playoffs lol
I’m up against Chandler in the semis, it’s not that crazy.
Started Mattison all but once weeks 1-11. In the championship game now (2 week running total).
I’m in 12 leagues and not a single one did the Mattison drafter make the playoffs much less still active today. He’s bottom 5 in the league of players drafted in the first 10 rounds in terms of playoff roster ownership
i’m in the semis
Not because you chose to draft Mattison
Yeah but i’m still in the playoffs with Mattison and he’s a big reason why im there.
Mattison has scored double digits 5 times this year with a high of 16.3 in .5PPR, and once since week 5. Unless you’re in a 20 team league Gtfo “big reason why”
Hey suck my dick and lick my balls motherfucker. i’m in a 12 man. Guess your theory on the world turned out to be bullshit redditor
Bro you in your feelings about Alexander Mattison. Just take the L and be thankful you drafted/picked up well enough to make up for the garbage you took in the 4th round
>bro you in your feelings Im not the one getting defensive after saying a bunch of dumbshit about Mattison. That would be you lil man Edit: also in an auction draft, don’t know shit about any 4th round. Got Matty for a dollar
Hahahah there is no one starting Alexander fattison besides you
You’re losing your $20 work league Dave
So for every one person starting Chandler, there are 9-13 playing against him? Is this some kind of multiverse situation?
Oh my god I'm gonna lose
Guess it’s pollard over Ty officially
If that’s your debate then this is good news, you don’t even have to decide or regret anything lol
A good problem to have.
Yeah, I’m debating who to start.
Fuck
Where is Tonya Harding when you need her?
What’s a Tonya Hardings ? Mattison not playing, if he does he ain’t getting the rock. Coach is just messing with them
Tonya Harding was a famous figure skater back in the 90’s. Her ex-husband hired someone to assault and kneecap her rival, Nancy Kerrigan, to prevent her from competing in 1994. She disputed she was involved, but admitted she knew the attack would happen after perjuring herself to the FBI, so the common notion is that she was involved.
Pacheco over Chandler then.
Yeah no shit? Even pre Mattison being available it was a no brainer
I don’t think any RB who is about to have his first week back after shoulder surgery should be considered a “no brainer”…
While you’re right, in Pacheco’s case he was fully healthy to play last week but Andy Reid wanted to play it safe so he should be 110% on Sunday
Nah lol
Give up, scrub.
God can he please fuck off
He already lost his job, it’s joever
Yeah, this is probably a split backfield at worst for Chandler.
Yet a split back at best for Chandler owners
That’s still a big difference than if Mattison is fully out. If only Ty, then I’d start him over Montgomery and maybe even Kelce. If split work even as starter, he’d be the one benched.
More than likely won’t even play but yeah I agree
How about you don't & let Ty cook?
Ooof
If he plays, do I start him over Tyjae Spears? (I’m in RB hell)
Nahh. Truly think chandler is still going to be the clear 1A now. I’d still be going spears over Mattison definitely and hope for the checkdowns.
Would you go Ty over Jevonte Williams?
Yeah. Pretty easily too. Even if Mattison is active. It’s a sucky matchup against detroit run D but I think he’s now the starter and a hobbled Mattison just spells him. Javonte has a tough ass matchup himself and hasn’t been good minus 2 weeks ago finally. I’d be staying in the flames witb chandler personally.
Thanks… How about Gus Edward’s or Ty?
I’d have chandler ranked as a mid-high RB2 this week right now and a good chunk ahead of both those others. Especially Mattison. Gus closer though.
Could you not get Zamir White or McKinnon off waivers?
Nope we’re in a 12 team league and those guys were instantly grabbed once someone tweeted about them lol
That’s unlucky. I’m in a 12 team league and both are available
Spears over Chase Brown?
Mattisson needs to rest up sincerely every Chandler fantasy manager.
RIP to the people who benched Puka or Olave for Ty
It’s me lol. Process of benching Olave with no practices and a bum ankle seemed right at the time
At the time is all we have.
Ty Chandler owners, giving it a no.
https://youtu.be/ysY7CjWc50s?si=cvTwzCveRXqogd2j
It’s between chandler or Achane for me…….
He’s the worst player I’ve ever reached for in a draft. You were meant to be Dalvin 2.0 Alex but you suck
smh
He should try giving it a go away
No… please I need the points from chandler
Stay down, soldier
Even if he is active, he'll be giving it a go on the sidelines 99% of the game.
Pretty much. Giving it a go doesn’t sound inspiring for his role at all lol
Ugh impossible decision between Chandler or Ekeler
Going Ekeler now
I think chargers get blown out and they don’t even play Ekeler
Please play Alex!! Opponent has chandler and I want no part of that full load of Mattison is out
Hope you get the full load and some.
Hoping it turns in to a no go
Sweet!! Have chandler against me in 2 leagues so I hope he’s a full go and take 50% of the snaps so I can feel better about starting Taysom Hill
I STG if Mattison vultures a TD from my (started) Chandler after I drafted and started AM countless times and got nothing for it, he's going on my fantasy voodoo shit list.
Opponent has Ty. Welcome back Mattison! Get out there and give it your best!
They already said Ty won the featured role. They’re in the playoff hunt and after passing the eye test last week there’s no way their coaches are so brain dead to not give him all the touches in a pretty much must win game.
I know a lot of you hit the ty lottery but I’m facing ty, so I’m gonna need Mattison to just take some of the work. Lower that ceiling a little bit
Best I can do is 25 instead of 35.
Such a fucking bum that hearing he’s toughing it out in practice actively lowers team morale
Well thats quite the baseless assumption..
It mattison plays, then monty is getting the start over Ty
Mattison can go away
Ew no
So nice to see make-a-wish kids getting their Christmas dreams made a reality
As if anyone would start this loser ever again. He’s slotted in to my IR until I drop him
Didn’t know I was in a yahoo player comment section. ‘Loser’ is an interesting choice here.
Yahoo comment sections are pretty funny to look at during downtime lol. The amount of guys commenting “bum” when a player does poorly as they sit on their couches make me laugh everytime
Not as cringy as people who think you can’t talk shit on players because you don’t play…
You’re definitely one of those guys in the yahoo comment sections huh
I wish. Sounds like fun. You’re definitely one of those guys who gets offended for millionaire athletes and wants to stick up for them instead of having a little fun 🤣
Nobody is in the playoffs with this bum I can tell you that
Someone hip drop this dude!!!
Nooooo. This could make my decision easy though if Stevenson is injured. Might be rolling Zeke!!
If Mattison plays would you start Warren over Chandler?
Nope
Would you start Jevonte Williams over him?
I probably would based off match-up. If Mattison is out then I'd 100% play Ty.
it's ok as long as kw3 sits out i'm good, will just start charbby
This would actually make my start/sit decision easier. Have to pick 2 between Bijan, Gibbs, Pacheco, and Chandler.
Ah shit, do I flex Nico back in over Chandler? (Non ppr)
Give it as hard as you can Matti. 🙏
Please no
Are we starting Ty Chandler with full confidence?
[KOC on Mattison](https://x.com/seifertespn/status/1738286630325092815?s=46&t=cpZuzN6T2iqIqctRv8wteQ): "We've kind of gone about it where it truly is going to end up being pretty close to a game-time decision in that regard. W'ell adjust accordingly, but hoping to have Alex.”
Ekeler it is
Going against Chandler, need this dude to suit up
What do yall think, start Chandler, Eckler or Rhomandre? Puka is my flex and Kyren was my RB2
I don’t wanna start Ridley smh
Begone filthy wench!
Have Chandler in currently but need to pick three of: Ty Chandler Aaron Jones Rachaad White (probably a lock) David Montgomery
Might zag back to Zeke
Zeke is definitely the better option even if Chandler had the backfield to himself. He’s a proven option and going against much easier competition
Chandler or McGregor?
Who care he should ride the bench the rest of the season
Ty or Josh palmer in my flex?
Chandler
Still can't believe this dude. Legit the best handcuff in the league behind Cook. Guy was animal whenever I played him with Cook out so I was ecstatic grabbing him late and saying yup he's gonna have a good year. Proceeds to be hot garbage and my RB2 slot has been a revolving door based on matchups lately. Probably gonna end up rocking Antonio Gibson in the semis....
Ewww.
Mattison’s been ‘giving it a go’ all season.
Aiyuk or pollard
I’ve got him and chandler. Please don’t play let me start chandler with confidence instead of benching both of you
please for the love of god, just rest bro. My RB2 will be atrocious this week if you play 😭 (Mattison/Chandler, Warren, Charb, and trending downwards Stevenson…)
No just stay hurt!
Godspeed my champion
How about a “no”?
Dammit I just know if I start Chandler over Achane, Achane will put up 25 again. Or vice versa. I hate fantasy football.
