🏈 THE Antonio Gibson

Good morning! Hope you all enjoyed National Antonio Gibson Victory Lap day. As an owner of Gibson in two leagues, I joined in on the fun. Until I realized my opponent had him in my home league.

It was fun while it lasted.

The #pain didn’t stop with abusive and profane texts from my league-mate, for when I checked Twitter, this:

and this

So yeah, I’m now projected to lose by 35 points. Happy Thanksgiving to you too, Antonio.

The Baltimore Disaster

It’s looking like the Steelers-Ravens game will be cancelled after Lamar Jackson and a bunch of other Ravens staff/players tested positive for Covid-19. Make sure you discuss back-up lineups with your league commish.

Antonio Gibson screwed my fantasy team

Antonio Gibson is a great player and I have him in a few leagues. But I’m in #pain.

Did Zeke screw yours?

Yesterday, Ezekiel Elliott tested positive for being #bad. After Zeke signed a six-year contract worth $90 million to be the bell-cow RB in the best offense in football, fantasy owners rejoiced. Not so fast.

Ezekiel Elliott is tied with Derek Carr for most fumbles lost this season, with the Cowboys paying him $1.8M per fumble. Tony Pollard is the higher-rated and more productive RB and continues to push for more work (in a lost season).

Sure, the Cowboys offensive line (and offense) is decimated with injuries, but why is Pollard outplaying Zeke?

Here is an in-depth article explaining Zeke’s struggles and how fantasy owners could manage the situation.

BONUS

Because today was a painful one and we all use reddit to #escapethepain, here are the best reddit articles/threads from yesterday.

• Good ideas on avoiding teams throwing games for better seeding in your fantasy football league

• This article discusses the top 5 under-the-radar plays of the week and I highly recommend it

• Some guy called Will Fuller’s 35+ explosion and I didn’t see it in time to avoid trading Fuller pre-game

Thank you all - hope your yesterday was better than mine. Share the newsletter so more people will hear my calls for help!

LOL in all seriousness, I’m good. F***!!!
