just ask Buffalo

Well they did lose. so the Fantasy gods made them pay. (though they were against the pack.... likely they were gonna lose anyway)

well, the tools are in the toolbox. but at the NFL level its more processing speed than it is about skill because everybody (for the most part) in the NFL has skill. I guess we will see. this is the first dud of the year. it could be a sign of things to come, or it could just be a bad game. The eagles are a pretty good defense. so I think it is too early to establish this as a trend, but you can bet on one thing...... whatever the defense was doing against him..... whoever plays him over the next week or two will try to do the same things that gave him a problem. that said, some weaker defenses likely dont have the talent to be able to execute the game plan in the same way. so its not a guarantee that hes headed for harder times. I remember watching a very good defense execute a very good game plan against Lamar a couple of years back and people said a lot of the same. but I saw the game and I felt that only one or two defenses in the NFL had the talent and ability to execute such a game plan. so I did not see that as a sign of things to come. so you kind of need to put it into context. other teams did try to execute that same gameplan vs Lamar with minimal success. but I saw those games and clearly they didnt have the talent to be able to execute in the same way and Lamar was good enough to overcome that with only occasional issues. so I think the bottom line is.... it is likely too early to say for sure one way or another. but I do agree. next game or two, the defense will try to emulate what Philly did against him. it will be interesting to see how that turns out.

I'm in a league where you play multiple teams each week. I would have run the table if Baker put up 15-18 fantasy points instead I get 7.5 points. what was going to be a fantastic week turned into just a good week. I suppose I shouldnt complain but this stiff only seems to have good weeks when he is on my bench.

well, he keeps the defense honest. if they crowd the line, he gets the ball. if they play to stop the pass, Sequon gets the ball. for a game (maybe two) you can get by without him. but teams will quickly adapt to the more run heavy offense. Like it or not.... He is an important part of that.

This is my fault. I started Baker this week. and he only seems to perform well on my bench.

This always happens. Now he as a QB will need to adapt to how teams are defending him. If he can adapt, hes a legit starting QB.... if not.... he becomes a backup QB.

I'm thinking hideous

flacco has played for enough teams that literally half the league could be a revenge game. its to the point where this means nothing anymore.

I had herbert on the bench in my one league. Minny is supposed to have a pretty good Defense. But the chargers sliced through them like a hot knife through butter.

well, for him to disappear there needs to be someone on the roster that can force that to happen. I dont actually think that anyone on the roster is better than him right now. so barring injury or a sudden loss in effectiveness I think he holds steady. for fantasy hes RB2 on most teams depending on the depth you have at the position.

Truth and lies appears to link to your working the wire article. suspect its an easy fix on the back end.

this is along the lines of what I would have said. hes the best of a bad lot. and by far has the most upside. if you really insist on not taking him, Freiermuth is your guy

the bar was pretty low. Its not like Richardson was a world beater. but.... Jones has been pretty decent in this offense. I'll definitely give credit where credit is due. put the guy behind a line that actually can block and the results are like night and day compared to where he was previously. we learned this lesson the year before with Sequon. Yet do we see the giants loading up on O line guys? I still see a crappy line. They just dont get it.

well, the injuries/suspensions are over. and hes throwing to players we have actually heard of again. I think the offense will start to click now. if you can buy low on Mahomes you may have missed the boat, but I'm sure there are still a few sellers out there. I'm predicting a very good second half of the season.
