  1. https://sports.yahoo.com/fury-saints-ace-brees-criticises-nfl-kneeling-protests-222543091--nfl.html Not here to stir up a stink, as I hope that we can all agree that what happened to George Floyd was horrendous, as has been the violence and destruction that has occurred in America since. However, Drew Brees is not only an important fantasy player, but one of the "faces" of the NFL. It is his opinion/conviction that kneeling during the National Anthem, regardless of the stated cause, is disrespectful to our flag, nation, and veterans. He is currently getting ripped a new one, including by his own teammates.....including Michael Thomas. This development, of course, could plausibly have an impact on fantasy teams if a rift develops or the relationship deteriorates. Brees has always been lauded as one of the NFL's "good guys"....but that has not exempted him from the firestorm. It will be interesting to see if he rolls over under pressure, or stands pat with his opinion.

    Same to you. Came back to see if you managed to pull out the win.....and saw in another thread that you did. Congrats on the comeback victory for the Ship. Forty points is a deep hole to dig out of, but those make for the sweetest victories.

    Miami isn't ready for prime time.........or

    Lost their magic....their Fitzmagic.

    Woulda been nice in week 14, when I needed him in another league, but better late than never. Glad he came through for you. Sounds like you have a fighter's chance now. See you homies in a few months, Lord-willing. I'm out....

    Fun Fact

    ....but apparently not very 2021. McCarthy not challenging the "catch" by Pettis that put NYG's in FG range in the 4th quarter sunk the Boys, putting them behind 4 points instead of one. Cost me $20....but easy come/easy go, as they say. Now, I just need to figure out how to waste the other 1,180. Maybe bet on the Giants to win SB before the Redskin game tonight, lol.

    Need one QB and one RB????

    Same...

    RBs and Team Def picks

    Would be Dobbins, Gordon, and Redskins for me

    Flex help

    That is actually a very tough choice. Tonyan has only 2 and 3 targets the last two games, but had scored in 5 straight before last week, and gets the Bears who bleed points to TE's....including giving up 67 yards and a TD to Tonyan a few weeks ago. Bernard got outshined by Perine last week on the ground, but still had a good fantasy day, including 6 catches on 7 targets. So, it looks like Perine may have snagged the gig of goal line carries. Coin flip. I suppose that I would probably roll out Bernard since he will most likely touch the ball more, thereby giving him a statistically better chance of breaking one.

    He could very well have a great game....if The Hoodie will just feed him. Good luck to you

    I did, indeed. Doesn't help that TyMont played for the Jets last year, only to be replaced by TyJohn....good grief. Roll out TyMont for the upside play, Weeps....unless TyJohn is available, of course. Heck, where's Pierre Thomas or Tim Hightower when you need them? Chris Ivory?

    Week 17 Bench List

    Undoubtedly...

    Fixed. Researching TyMont at the same time....been a long season

    Week 17 Bench List

    Well, averaging -4 yards/carry this season isn't that terrible.... However, let's take our minds back to week 15 of 2016, when he was a league winner...16/162/2 against Da Bears. So, you're saying that there's a chance?

    Fantasy Guru

    Well, I'm no Guru, but I'll take a stab. Darwin Thompson worries me in KC and Mattison worries me in Minny. One (or both) of Ty and Sony are gonna have a good game. I think Michel is the more talented back, and he has averaged 7.4 and 6.9 yards/carry the last two weeks, but because of game script has only gotten 10 carries each game. They shouldn't fall behind too badly against NYJ's, and Damien Harris is out, so he could produce big if given 20 touches. The drawback is the possibility of Cam stealing goal line touches. On the other side, Ty Johnson should have the show to himself this week with Gore and Perine out....with the only possible monkey wrench being Josh Adams. The only time this season when he was the featured back and received double-digit carries, he went 20/104/1, and added 2 catches for 13 yards....but it was against the Raiders. I have them basically even.....with maybe a slight lean towards Ty, but only because The Hoodie hasn't shown any willingness to stick with the run, even with a guy averaging 7 yards/carry the last two weeks.

    Logan Thomas worth a play this week?

    I like Hilton and Thomas equally....
  16. Sounds like a real tool. He may be celebrating Boston Scott too, with Sanders out. Scott has shown some late-season heroics before.
  17. With Goedert likely out, Ertz may finally get that good game that owners were hoping for all year...
  18. stonewall

    I'm going to go ahead and throw a name out there.

    Stone Cold Steve Austin
  19. For those looking for ultimate upside, Richie James is the call. That one monster week he had netted over 24 points....in non-ppr! 33.4 in ppr. Seahawks have stiffened a bit against the pass, but for a hail mary I would roll James over Bourne.
  20. Malcolm Brown could be an option in week 17 also, OP. Cardinals can be run on, and the only time he was given over 11 carries all year was in week 1, when he went 18/79/2 and added 3 catches for 31 yards.
  21. If Alex Smith plays, then Cam Friggin" Sims is a longshot upside play against Philly....esp if Scary Terry sits again. At least 8 targets in 3 of the last 4 games. We saw what the trio of Dallas WR's just did to them.

    I need an Intervention

    With the advent of the interwebnet, it takes a special kind of effort to maintain that one degree of separation from fellow owners. Everyone has access to the same information. So, as a result, I find myself working harder than ever to keep an edge.....and by the time that my last player has completed his game in week 16, I am wearied. Might call it fantasy fatigue. However, as you mentioned, those games that you lose by the slimmest of margins in the finals, are the ones that never really go away. In fact, I still wince when I think of a finals game I lost in the waning seconds of the Monday night game....over 20 years ago.

    Fun Fact

    Put 20 bucks of fantasy winnings on Cowboys to win Superbowl. Currently +10000 or 100/1 odds. Not a Cowboys fan, and not under any particular delusions, but of all the remaining longshots, they seem to be the only ones with the potential tools. The Red Rifle finally looking healthy and synched with his trio of talented receivers. Zeke looking like his old self, with Pollard a great addition. Defense even showing up from time to time recently. If Philly comes through this week against the Skins, anything can happen. Yeah....I can probably kiss that 20 bucks goodbye, but wouldn't have even had it without Diggs performance on Monday night.....so it feels like house money.
  24. I really hope it works out for you (and it might, he looked good last week), but the name Boone sends cold chills up my spine. He cost me a championship last year in week 16 when he got the start against the Packers. Laid a total egg. Of course the next week he went off.... Prime matchup against the Lions, who have quit and let gaskins run wild last week. I read that Mattison is expected back this week too: https://www.cbssports.com/fantasy/football/news/vikings-alexander-mattison-could-get-week-17-start/
