I don't blame you for going after Burrow. He was drafted after Allen/Jackson/Daniels and in some cases Hurts in my leagues and is the one QB I would have entertained picking in the 4th or 5th. I am just surprised at Fields as a qb2. I think he fit the mold of qb1 drafted by owners who waited and then backed him up with their choice of Dak/Goff/Love etc. basically someone with a higher floor, lower ceiling. A guy like Fields who can boom in fantasy on any given week, like he did in week 1, would always be on the bench of anyone who drafted one of those top 5 QBs. Though it is nice to hear someone be upset when you make a selection.

not even lantern flies want to be on long island

and you got both Burrow AND Hurts all in one! why would you back up an early QB with high risk, high reward guy like Fields? weird

I heard he has a minor in finance

immobility is a fair point.

So as far as game theory is concerned, yes, I would prefer a gun slinger when my defense is at least adequate. The idea being that if my gun slinger makes some mistakes, it may not kill us but the good shiit he does can win us the game single handedly, so to speak. You obviously always want a great defense if you can have it no matter what style QB you have. i just can't imagine wanting a turnover prone QB if I know my defense is bad. I would prefer a QB who is smart with the ball and sustains drives so that the other team gets fewer offensive possessions. The problem is Jake Browning is not Brett Favre (that we know of) and we also don't know if he will turn it over 3 times a game. I was thinking more about a Jameis type where we kind of do know that is his MO. again, no reason for me to defend Cousins but I don't think he was ever quite right last year coming off the injury. Of course we don't know if he is better or closer to his previous self right now but he is an extra year removed... 18-5 ratio before going down in 2023. Always had pretty solid turnover ratio aside from maybe 2022. As for Browning, he was also a 23 year old rookie who has 8 career starts to his name and never saw game action until 2023 right? So that plays as much into the experience thing as simply saying hes 29 years old and has been in the system.

Well first off, if your defense stinks, what good does putting them on the field 3 times via INT do? The best way to help a bad defense is to keep them off the field. Longer drives resulting in points. As for the leadership thing, I can understand the debate to say keep the guy whose been in the system and knows the players. I would think there is also a case to be made for a guy who has played in playoff games, winning one (sort of a fluke)... im not some big Kirk Cousins fan, i'm just speculating.

im not sure i'd be so quick to say what they have right now is as good as Cousins. Winston? yeah probably. Winston is a veteran backup you want who can just sling it and keep your pass game weapons happy. He will turn it over a bunch in the process. Likely no different than what we saw from Browing yesterday. Cousins I would say at least has the edge in veteran leadership. not that winston can't be a leader but Cousins will be smarter with the football. I don't know how they would make a trade work. I assume by giving the Falcons a ransom and asking them to pay a portion of his remaining contract. . I did kind of think that the Falcons didn't cut Cousins, partially for this very reason.

Sure. I was just saying if someone in stacked at RB for whatever reason in a redraft and needs help at WR, TE etc... they may not be willing to allocate the FAB$ needed to acquire Judkins if he is somehow available.... and if they feel like they might need to save FAB for a WR or TE down the road, it can be risky to blow it all and have to rely on a trade. In a 12 team league, where Judkins was randomly available, I think someone is going 80%. but everyone knows their league and if you know you can flip him easily or flip a different RB on your roster, by all means.

I did roll the dice with Jeudy as a wr3/flex in one of my redraft leagues. Just wanted to do something different and Calvin Ridley was gone. I am recalling this from memory but I feel like the last time Flacco was slinging it in Cleveland, Njoku was a huge beneficiary. Tillmans big games last season were with Crab Legs? and Jeudy was not on the team Flacco's last go around, Amari Cooper was? So the guy who had seemingly the best chemistry with Flacco is still there and healthy and now the team has Fannin who may be a wild card if they try to increase his usage and deploy him in various ways (slot, out of the backfield)... so basically I regret my JJeudy selection in that league. He hopefully won't be needed at all when Rice is back.

he already should be in competitive leagues

if it's a keeper or dynasty league he's not available. if it's a redraft he shouldn't be available. if he is, probably a decent chunk of your budget, unless you don't need any RB help, then you don't need to bother making a bid because you won't get him at your tolerated price.

clearly I was not around most of the day since I had to guess/ask who. be more triggered
