Perhaps that's part of it. Just having one top notch league is a big issue too. If you really want to see how it works without salary caps and real free agency though, just look to soccer. There are multiple leagues all over the world that can pay players top dollar. Of course it helps that it's a global game. I don't know that anything like is on the horizons for the NFL or MLB, but it's just a matter of time before basketball is similar.

He and CeeDee Lamb are tied for 2nd in the NFL with 1013 yards receiving.and 6 total TDs

Seriously? Because it's boring as sh!t

Who are we kidding? He's not coming back until the Raiders game in two weeks after their bye... https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/38952074/justin-jefferson-my-health-more-important-fantasy-football

Because the owners don't want to pay more in salaries

FU to Kenneth Walker, I hope you're okay, but I needed a big game and you get KO'd early in the game...

Ouch! Big blow to the already thin TE group https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/38916670/ravens-te-mark-andrews-season-likely-due-ankle-injury

Jefferson by a long shot

He had his best game by far last week I would play Herbert, but it's a toss up

I made a post about him a week or so ago. I wouldn't expect some big increase in production by Pollard. He could have a big game, but I don't see any consistency. He's not really a workhorse, 3 down RB. He is best as the change of pace RB in a committee. In other words he misses Zeke doing the dirty work. Pollard isn't built for that. He's a big play, outside sort of runner. His game is about efficiency, not volume. The Cowboys have him in a volume role. I wouldn't even expect him to benefit from them having big leads. They will likely rest Pollard. If any RB benefits from that it will be Rico Dowdle, like he did against the Giants. I expect this is about what you're gonna get the rest of the way out, but he will likely wear down as the season goes along.

That's probably a good guess. There's a reason he's had trouble staying on teams, I think that has a lot to do with it

He's half way through his 3rd season and his team is leading their division. He took the team to an improbable playoff appearance last season and won a playoff. His rookie season he wasn't great but they had the biggest coaching blunder in recent memory along with no training camp. I get it, he's not putting up 1984 Dan Marino numbers this season, but the team is winning. I don't know of many QBs that win with a bad supporting cast. That's mostly a myth.

I don't think I would do that because Kupp has been very pedestrian the past couple of games. Stafford is injured and we just don't know how that's gonna play out.

I would start Howell. I wouldn't trust Murray yet

I would start Stroud. I'm starting him too, over Justin Herbert

When the Browns played the Ravens in week 4, they completely shut Amari down, 1 catch for 16 yards. He does have a bit of a tendency to disappear against tougher teams. I wouldn't start him this week on a 50/50 call like that. Start Lockett, hope he has one of his two or three monster games for the season

Dak has the worst pocket presence of any QB in the NFL, and he just simply does not know how to throw the ball away

He tore his right Achilles tendon in 2021. Fear is that he tore his left Achilles tendon today. https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/38827376/vikings-rb-cam-akers-suffers-injury-left-achilles

Dak Prescott has to be the worst QB in the NFL! The refs gift them an 80 yard drive to the eagles 5 yard line, and when it's up to Dak to finish it off, he gets backed up to the 30!

FU to Kenneth Walker! Two garbage weeks in a row

FU to CJ Stroud! More like FU to me for not starting him!

Baker

CJ Stroud, he's not too flashy, but he should give you a decent score, and you never know, he's a rookie, he could still blow up any week. I would be hard pressed to start Deshaun Watson if I didn't have to.

I guess it will be temptin to chase those numbers he put up 3-4 years ago. I don't think they're coming back though. I think the lawsuits killed his mentality, and the guaranteed contract killed any chance he had of working to get it back.

I saw that, now the real question is... Is anybody gonna actually start him on their fantasy teams? He should be available on waivers
