No worries! Thanks for the reply. It was cool trying to remember the game a bit. I was a bit tipsy from some beers. I think, you meant JJ McCarthy, Vikings QB. Not Drake Maye, Patriots QB. I benched Aaron Jones for Saquon Barkley and Breece Hall in one money league. (Didn't make playoffs.) Aaron Jones got 8 points. Barkley, 16.20 and Hall got 4.70 points. I need another win by about 6 points to get 1st pick next year; instead of 2nd pick. Bo Nix, Saquon Barkley, CeeDee Lamb and Will Reichard, Vikings kicker carried me to a win, mostly. I could have started Kirk Cousins over Joe Burrow; I would have more considerably, larger lead going into next game. Also, Zay Flowers instead of Brock Bowers. Flowers got 14.30 points. Bowers got 5.80. I have Bowers in two leagues where I got knocked out as #1 seed. I am in 4 money leagues. Made it to playoffs in 3. Lost them all hahah, I was around #4 seed in my Auction league. My best WR are JaMarr Chase, Amon Ra St.Brown, and Justin Jefferson. Still got knocked out! DANG!! I tried to start Ryan Flournoy in the 8 man league over Justin Jefferson; didn't matter really much. Hahaha

The 2nd half went pretty quickly it seemed. Jordan Mason got like 4 carries in a row at one point, I think. Seemed like both teams were mostly passing the ball, kicking field goals. Dak got sacked 2 times that game. There were 2 missed kicks by Dallas kicker out of 6 attempts overall. Dak Prescott had 38 passes, JJ McCarthy had 24. I think, one of the main factors of Jones not getting more action was Dallas stuffing the run overall pretty well. Also, he got horse collar tackled on a sideline play that might have hurt his back a bit. It was called a penalty. Aaron Jones 12 carries for 34 yards, 3 catches for 31 yards. Jordan Mason 10 carries for 29 yards. 26 carries total for Cowboys top 3 rushers for the whole game. 3 FB carries for Luepke, took some clock usage up. The successful fake FG by Cowboys in first half affected Vikings time of possession; a bit. Started by the interception on one of the first plays of the game; thrown by McCarthy. Vikings got more into a rhythm overall after that. Dak was spreading the ball around a bit; same with McCarthy. Also, a CJ Ham TD, JJ McCarthy both rushing TD; took away goal line TD chances for Jones.

Looks like a hand injury or his arm got re-aggravated. Quinnen Williams, DT, for Cowboys is injured now too. Head injury, own teammate accidentally hit his head on the back with helmet. With their leg. Was going for tackle and ball carrier, reversed field. Williams got blocked into injury.

Jonathan Greenard injured for Minnesota Vikings. Defensive line man, looks like a head injury. Maybe, hit his head battling with offensive line man or got accidentally poked in the eye. Cowboys trying to drive to send the game to OT. He walked off the field. Should be okay. That is good.

I left Egbuka on the bench. I didn't really spend much time on my computers on Wednesday. Thanks for the advice.

Most of this happened because the trade deadline ended, I am guessing. I bet Colts would have possibly traded for a backup QB; if they could have. Rivers might be healthier than Carr right now; after Carr had that pretty brutal nose dive injury. Rivers might need the money more too.

Probably, Sutton, Wilson and Jennings. Jennings just had a bye week, so he is rested. Wouldn't be surprised to see Egbuka or Robinson do well though, also. Egbuka and Mayfield haven't been doing as well lately, though.

Pick 2: Justin Jefferson, Davante Adams, Emeka Egbuka, or Michael Wilson. Could also start one of these WR over these RBs at flex; if anyone agrees. Pick 3: Saquon Barkley, Josh Jacobs, Javonte Williams, Bucky Irving, and Omarion Hampton. I am thinking Barkley, Jacobs, Jefferson, Adams, Irving currently. I have not got Michael Wilson yet; I have to drop Zach Ertz for a WR. I started Brock Bowers last game and this week. Also, at QB- I can start Burrow, Herbert, Goff or Mahomes. I am currently starting Burrow; would it be crazy to drop Goff or Herbert (both) for a WR(s) to start over Adams, Jefferson or Egbuka? There might be some nice sleepers out there; I know Wilson had a big game vs Rams. Shouldn't have dropped him for Ertz? I think, or a QB. Kyler Murray, Garrett Wilson got dropped by me. I am #1 seed though. I need a huge week because I dropped Wilson around Week 12 and should have started him over Jefferson. I need a big win because it is a ESPN league and I lost last week by around 30.

Cris Carter never won one either. He helped mentor Randy Moss a lot.

Looks like a heel injury.

Any thoughts on if I should start Emeka Egbuka or Zay Flowers this week? I need a win badly for one of my 2 matchups to make the playoffs.

Jaguars got pretty close that year in 1999 when they had Mark Brunell, Fred Taylor, Jimmy Smith, Keenan McCardell, Tony Boselli, Carnell Lake, Donovan Darius etc. They went 14 and 2 and lost in the AFC Championship 33 to 14 to the Tennessee Titans. Also, 1996 they went 9-7. But they made it to AFC championship also that year; lost 20 to 6 vs the New England Patriots. Lions best seasons were 1991, 2023 and 2024. Made NFC championship game in '91 and '23, I think. In 1991, they had Barry Sanders; pretty sure. Browns best was probably 2020, they won a playoff game. With Baker Mayfield at QB. Some of their other best players were Nick Chubb, Kareem Hunt, Jarvis Landry, Odell Beckham Jr., Rashard Higgins, Austin Hooper, Myles Garrett and Olivier Vernon. Texans was 2012 with players like; Matt Schaub at QB, Arian Foster, Andre Johnson, Brandon Brooks, Duane Brown, JJ Watt, Brian Cushing, Whitney Mercilus, Jonathan Joseph and Kareem Jackson.

FU to Brandon Aubrey for getting 40 fantasy points as a kicker vs my team in a must win matchup before playoffs. FU to CeeDee Lamb for not protecting his body and nearly breaking his spine; on that concussion jump. It would have been nice if you got like 15 more points; to offset Aubrey and his 400 fricking million points.

Seemed like CeeDee Lamb almost got that concussion on purpose, jumping and landing all awkwardly. I don't think anyone could have caught that; except maybe Calvin Johnson or Randy Moss in their prime. He was smiling after getting checked in the medical tent thing; if he stayed healthy, the Cowboys could have maybe won. But, I stopped watching when it was like 27 to 16.

Bucky Irving being back is making Rashaad White owners confused a bit.
