Thanks, my bad. Could've swore it was the 3rd. lol

I'm in a 10-team 2-QB Salary cap keeper league. I'm not restricted on the number of players I can keep, but am restricted on price... $28 (keeping it simple). Here's my roster (and costs): QB's Joe Burrow $7.88 Baker Mayfield $7.63 C.J. Stroud $5.83 Michael Penix $0.84 RB's Saquon Barkley $8.67 Jonathan Taylor $8.05 Rachaad White $5.34 Tyrone Tracy $3.24 Blake Corum $1.35 WR's Ja'Marr Chase $9.60 Courtland Sutton $5.59 Jaxon Smith-Njigba $5.17 Chris Godwin $3.85 Rome Odunze $3.77 Rashee Rice $3.37 Khalil Shakir $2.92 Brandon Aiyuk $1.13 I can keep Burrow, Penix, Barkley, and Chase for $27. Thing is, Barkley tallied 482 touches (including the playoffs), last year and I'd prefer to sell a year too early than a year too late. I have a buyer for Barkley, and keeping Taylor gives me financial flexibility. But a trade offer I'm thinking of offering is to the McCaffrey owner.... Mayfield + Taylor for McCaffrey. Here's that owner's roster. QB's Tua Tagovailoa $5.18 Sam Darnold $4.62 Mason Rudolph $1.63 Trey Lance $0.39 RB's Joe Mixon $6.37 James Conner $6.20 Christian McCaffrey $4.80 Brian Robinson $2.87 Jerome Ford $2.41 WR's Malik Nabers $6.27 Mike Evans $6.18 Tee Higgins $4.22 Chris Olave $4.16 Puka Nacua $3.38 Andrei Iosivas $1.99 Ja'Lynn Polk $0.69 Do you think that deal is even or lopsided based on the parameters (2 QB league, $28 cap)? His keepers could be Mayfield, Taylor, Nabers, Higgins, & Nacua for $27.98

I think it's funny that a person ( @peenie), who claims they've experienced racism throughout her life growing up (note: it was in the darkest blue part of NJ where she literally may never have ever actually come in contract with a Republican [Newark, NJ - Essex County] - which neighbors the 2nd & 3rd most liberal counties [Bergen & Hudson], in the state), then moved to the darkest blue state in the union (CA), left there to go to a red state (GA), and loves it... still votes and supports Democrats. Also, lived under politicians who lied to her on a daily basis and has the nerve to call out someone whom she thinks is lying, that happens to be a Republican.

Same thing happened to Geno Smith, at least he went in the 3rd, not the 5th.

It all stems from people being crybabies. For example, a number of years ago in a Buccaneers game, Keenan McCardell scored a "defensive" touchdown, while on offense. It was the MNF game against the Colts where they had a 21-point lead w/5 minutes to go, and lost in overtime. Brad Johnson threw and Int, on the return, the guy who intercepted it, fumbled. McCardell picked it up and ran it in for a TD. The NFL rules are very clear, the team in possession of the ball, is on offense. Well, after the interception, the Bucs offensive unit became the defense. So, McCardell's TD is a fumble return for a TD. The person who had Tampa's defense should get the points for the fumble recovery and defensive TD. I mean, it's clear and obvious. BUT, you get the Keenan McCardell owners who cry because their guy scored the TD. But, it doesn't matter. At that point in time, he was on defense. The NFL rules CLEARLY stipulate that, so suck it up and deal with it. So, people in fantasy make rules where "other" or "miscellaneous" or whatever TD's count. The result is things like this. People have IDP's, they want their IDP to get a TD if they go on offense. Well, the only way to do that is to make a rule so that your player gets everything, regardless. Well, now you have a guy that plays both sides of the ball and now he could destroy your league... now, more crybabies come along and want to restrict that guy... because they don't have him.

I don't know if it definitively shows bad judgement. It could be that he realized that the woman he was dating wasn't who he thought she was. I'd say he would be more naïve, if this is the case. As you point out, the 9 am thing is a key part of why I'm waiting to make a call one way or the other.

From what I've read, Judkins made $1.1M in NIL money. It's not chump change, but it's not as much as you'd think. After taxes and other bs fees (agent/whatever), what's he seeing, $400k over 3 years. Again, it's good money, but it's not actual wealth. That aside, I'll hold judgement. When it comes to athletes and celebrities, I give them a little more latitude in these areas because I think they're targets for certain women. I believe the young man isn't married, so if it's "domestic violence", I can see a scenario where a girlfriend getting upset that her gravy train might be pulling out of the station and possibly be using this as a way to keep him.

Sounds like you have a bunch of people in your league that are jealous. LOL I think the easy solution is to just get rid of defensive scoring for offensive players all together.

Everyone is going to miss time, I think that's a given. I also think a given is that RB's are more likely to miss more time and have shorter careers.

I agree that WR's are easier to find, but I think if you have an elite WR, he's safer than an elite RB. If you pass up on getting an elite RB and get a "good" one, with an elite WR, you're safer than drafting an elite RB and getting a "good" WR. Though, I'd have to admit, I haven't been looking too much at ADP's. Just looking now, in a .5PPR as the OP states, taking Chase #1 could get him Chase Brown in R2. Maybe that's a stack someone doesn't want? Taking Robinson #1 could land him Garrett Wilson, Tee Higgins, Rashee Rice, Tyreek Hill, or Jaxon Smith-Njigba. In this scenario, it boils down to, "How comfortable are you"? I think I can make an argument for both sides.

I considered this, but I am of the mindset that RB's get hurt and are hurt by offenses/game plans more often, than WR's. I'd rather keep the elite WR, 1) He's less likely to get hurt 2) Despite QB play and or system, he's going to get the ball (see Justin Jefferson w/Darnold, CeeDee Lamb w/Rush, Brian Thomas w/crap Du jour in JAX, Nabors w/crap Du jour in NY), and 3) Even in a down year, he's still likely to be a WR1... just not the WR1.

Interesting... I was talking to a hardcore leftist I know and he's calling Trump and Bondi liars for holding back the files/lists because he knows the files/list, exists and they're just protecting Trump. I've also heard from other Lefties that Trump and Bondi are protecting their buddies. Here, we have lefties mocking conservatives saying that Trump and Bondi were lying about the list the whole time. Guess the leftists talking points haven't reached everyone yet. I at least hear the same thing from conservatives... everyone is pissed for being lied to. Personally, I think everything in government is a cover up. I think they're all guilty of everything. Every time anyone of them talks, they're lying.

I'm thinking Chase, because WR's have more long term staying power. If you can keep on keeping Chase, that's probably better long term than giving him up and keeping Robinson.

I'm rather curious about the approach the Jets plan on taking with the offense. Both Glenn and Engstrand came from the Lions. Are they going to try and recreate the Lions offense with Fields who's the complete opposite Jared Goff? That'll be interesting. I can certainly understand the reservations from that perspective. Fields doesn't move the needle for me on whether I draft Hall or not... if it did, it probably would sling me more in Hall's favor than against. Like I said, I'm not sure what kind of offense the Jets plan on running. I like Garrett Wilson, but Josh Reynolds(?), Allen Lazard(?), Tyler Johnson(?)... I don't know about that. They certainly don't really have any TE's to worry about either. I think their offense is similar, but better than the Steelers last year. The Steelers OLine, was about league average. From what I've read, the Jets are expected to be the in back end of the top 10... so slightly better. I think Hall is a better RB, overall than Harris, by a decent margin. I think Garrett Wilson is a lot better than Pickens. According to this, the Jets have a rather easy schedule. Last year, Hall was RB15. I don't see why he can't do just as well, maybe even better... because I think the Jets were a hot mess under Saleh. Looking at the adp, of the guys taken after him, I'm not sure how many of them over Hall. I'd take Cook. I might take Hampton with the upside of being in LA. Maybe another rookie or 2... maybe. I think 12 to 15 is about right. If I'm getting him #34 overall, that implies pick 10 in a 12-teamer, right. If my first 2 picks are Nico Collins and Derrick Henry, I think I'd be ok with him as my RB2. That said, if I can get a receiver like Mike Evans at #34 then Hampton at #39 (or Cook), I'd probably do that. But, I wouldn't be upset with Hall and then DJ Moore.

It's because he's so wrong, that he needs to get someone to latch on to a straw man argument that he concocts, so that he can say, "So I'm right?".
