The Everything Fantasy Football Thread

for the record, James Jones has the 14th most fantasy points of all WRs, and is the #1 fantasy scorer among all Packers not named Aaron Rodgers

 

[NashVol11]

maybe if you had the guy Rodgers trusts, you'd have gotten that dub

Nah. Cobb has had a down year

And 150 yards in the past month, which oddly coincides with Adams being back.

 

[NashVol11]

Adams had 21 targets last week, but let's talk about how Rodgers has no faith in him

Enough to only give him 4 targets this week. I guess he HAD faith in him.

 

[WarDamnVols]

I hate fantasy football. 2nd in my league in points, and about to be 5-6 and in 8th place if this McCoy TD stands.

same. up until this weekend, i was 8th place at 3-7 in my money league, with 2nd most points scored (had most pts scored against me by 270 points lol).

thankfully, my cinderella story stays alive for another week as I inched out a 1.5 pt victory. have to win out these last two games.

Also quite coincidental that after Davante catches just more than 50% of his 32 targets over a 2 week span, Rodgers throws the ball to Jones 11 times. That's now Jones' 3rd time this season getting more yardage than Davante's highest yardage output. Oh, and Davante's only catch in the endzone all year was a 2 point conversion.

Lol. More invented narratives. It could also have something to do with the fact that Adams tweaked his ankle during the game and couldn't get separation, but I'm assuming you already knew that as someone who watches every game.

While you're on a roll: what percentage of his targets has James Jones caught this year, compared to Adams?

 

[NashVol11]

But, you're right. It makes way more sense that midway through the Lions game, Rodgers stopped and went, "Wait. Adams can't catch. I'm gonna stop throwing to him, but not until next week. This week, I'll throw to him 21 times and Jones once, because I can't make in-game adjustments."

Packers fans, man. They know so much about how Aaron Rodgers thinks.

They're pretty close in percentage.

James Jones is arguably Green Bay's key to success. He's gotten a touchdown in 6 of the Packers' 7 wins. He got no touchdowns in the 3-game losing streak (10 total targets).

As for the tweaked ankle during the game...I just checked. Jones had 5 targets on Green Bay's first possession. Adams had 2 targets on that possession. They clearly went into the game with the intent of getting more looks at Jones.

 

[TrueOrange]

Id go

Hillman, Ware, Allen, Bradshaw, Funchess, Wilson.

I got Hillman immediately, though Denver's running game has been fairly inconsistent. Second best team immediately got Ware and Allen.


Kind of want to get Funchess but I can't figure out who to drop:

QB - Dalton, Tyrod Taylor
WR - ODB, Cooper, Martavis, Hurns, Lafell
TE - Kelce, Barnidge
K - Gostkowski
DEF - SEA



I guess I'm thinking Lafell or Taylor?

This paragraph is okay up to here. Know anything about the difference between causation and correlation?

 

[NashVol11]

In games Adams has finished (basically, games where both have been healthy, even though Adams got hurt and came back in in two of these):

6 games
Adams: 51 targets, 30 catches, 308 yards
Jones: 28 targets, 14 catches, 248 yards

Yes, that's roughly 2 catches per game for Jones, but guys...Rodgers trusts him way more.

what were the TD stats, stats on 3rd down, stats on deep balls, stats on the free plays from offsides

 

[crusse10]

3rd down stats on the season:
James Jones: 12/14 for 229 yards and 2 TDs (10 of 12 receptions went for 1st downs)
Davante Adams: 4/12 for 51 yards and 0 TDs (all 4 receptions went for 1st downs)

I'm sure it's just an anomaly, though.

 

[NashVol11]

In games both have actually played start-to-finish without Adams tweaking his ankle:

4 games
Adams: 42 targets, 22 catches, 239 yards
Jones: 14 targets, 7 catches, 110 yards

It's all about trust, guys.

You're saying he threw to Adams as much in 4-6 games as he did to Jones in 10?

Hey, maybe he'll finally get a TD this week. Maybe he'll finally get a second redzone target on the season (as he still has only been targeted once in the redzone, which he didn't catch).

 

[NashVol11]

I mean, damn. That basically means that on a per-game basis, on third down, Rodgers looks for Adams twice as often as he looks for Jones. Trust is a funny thing

#trust

I'm saying that you force the ball to a guy only so much before you give up on him. 4/12 is rough. Yesterday, Rodgers went to Jones, miraculously, 5 times on 3rd or 4th down. 4/4 on 3rd down with a TD. The 4th down was incomplete, but was on a play where he drew the Vikes offsides. 3 of Adams' 4 targets were on 1st down. The other was on 2nd down.

LaFell is starting to concern me. He seems like he should have been performing better than he has been the last two games.

Here was his last write-up:

LaFell looked headed for an ugly night, as he was playing behind all three of Danny Amendola, Aaron Dobson, and Chris Harper early on. At halftime, he'd played just 14 snaps. But Dobson went down with an ankle injury midway through the game, and LaFell played the final 46 snaps. He still didn't do a whole lot with them and may be falling out of favor a bit. Lucky for LaFell, both Amendola (knee) and Dobson (ankle) were injured. He'll be hard to trust as anything more than a WR3 next week on the road against the Broncos' league-best secondary.

I'm also getting concerned with Tyrod's production - especially when I have Dalton and Romo's available again - his numbers have been gradually been going down since that hamstring/knee injury in October.

I wouldn't trust Tyrod if I didn't have to. With those 2, I'd drop Tyrod.

If by available you mean on the waiver wire, get Romo ASAP. I'm with Ben though, I'd hold on to LaFell for now.

I have Lafell in 2 leagues, i just think with all the injuries that he's good to have. I don't think you would play Lafell or Funchess over the people you have though would you?
