    James White....what is the obsession?

    I mean looking at the projections I get it. Expecting his usual 12-13 and then also a touchdown which puts him around 20. If you look at Ekeler's projection it's essentially the same, but there isn't a projected TD. Play who you think has a better chance of scoring. I love having a guy like White. Consistency and a solid floor is important at times, too.

    Offer on the table help: Kittle

    I mean I don't like that offer, even if I'm in last place. I need help now, and i'd rather keep Kittle in my Flex than take that. While Green is day-to-day, we still have no idea when he'll really return. I agree with the above. You can afford to get rid of JuJu, and I would package him instead. AJ Green definitely has more value for you if he returns and is his old self.

    Who are your buy low guys after 3 weeks?

    I said john ross but I meant Tyler Boyd. Other RBs - David Johnson, Mark Ingram, Ekeler Other WRs - Michael Thomas, Tyler Lockett, Curtis Samuel - only have to start 2. Full point PPR league as well. Minnesota obviously a run first team so Thielen scares me, but I can always play Lockett in games they are heavily favored. Seattle will likely run more than they have been so I honestly think Carson will be fine, but I just think Bell is probably better for PPR.

    I'm looking at Bell personally. Owner is 0-3 and only backup RB is McCoy. Want to package carson and Thielen for Bell and John Ross and see what he counters with..

    Pharmacists= pill counters.

    Pharmacists override countless interactions each day that are really irrelevant. If you wanted a vending machine you would never get drugs. I would say well over 50% of patients will have at least one flag for an interaction. How is the machine going to know whether to override the warning or send it back to your doctor? is your doctor doing to decide what can be overridden? Believe me, that's the last thing you really want. There's also a good chance in the next 5-10 years pharmacists will be considered providers and be able to bill for services. You can just go on down to your local CVS or Walgreens for common ailments and the pharmacist can diagnose and prescribe you treatment. one stop shop and now your doctor is the one that'll be overpaid.

    Cardinals set to hire Kliff Kinsbury as head coach

    not shocking how terrible that article is. Guy hasn't been a college coach very long. He's "found" Keenum, Mayfield, Mahomes, and Manziel. 3 guys that start in the NFL (and one talented retard) and he was a part of all of them. I mean honestly it's a bold move by Arizona, but they have a young QB that needs to be molded. Why not give him a shot. His defense at Tech was terrible. Literally some of the worse defenses I've ever seen in the big 12, and that's saying a lot. He never struggled to put up points. This year his D was better, but he had 4 different quarterbacks throughout the season. If he had consistency, no doubt he wins at least 8-9 games this year and finishes in the top 25. I will say his players always lack discipline. I'll be curious to see how this plays out on the NFL level.

    Andrew Luck

    same. Luck continues to have "bad" matchups and just produce. I've learned my lesson. Going to set luck and take my 20 points and just roll with it.

    Which RBs full point PPR

    pick 3 Elliot James white Aaron Jones Fournette
  10. My company has been doing this for two years, but this year they even stepped it up more. Before it was two brackets, and this year 4. I had a really big problem with it at first, but I really don't mind now. I've built relationships with a lot of the "lower income" people in my building and a majority of them work two jobs, work a ton of overtime, or work all day and go home and take care of their kids (and their kids kids). I don't mind helping these few out with health care. They help me every day with the tasks I don't want to do. In fact, I feel good that I can do something extra to help them out to take a little more money home. At least these people are here working and not just living off welfare and government handouts. For what it's worth, my costs have gone up very little while the lower brackets costs have dropped drastically, so I don't think it's just a way for corporations to foot the bill.

    Patriots at Dolphins: In-Game Discussion and Tilting

    hope not I play the brady owner next week, but pitt vs ne feels like 1000+ yards combined...
  12. Wish him well. Unbelievable season for the second year guy. Rodgers still hasn't been picked up in my league so i'm targeting him with my high waiver priority to try and get me through the playoffs. Wentz definitely did enough today for me before he went down.

    Where are we at with seed tanking?

    Strategy. You do whatever you think gives you the best opportunity to win it all. The only ones who are going to complain are those that wanted to be in your spot, instead.

    Week 12 FU Thread

    FU to myself. Played Tate and Engram. Had Rudolph and Crowder on my bench.

    Alvin kamara is a god

    Eli, Dalton, Keenum, Bortles

    Alvin kamara is a god

    The whole saints running game is ridiculous since trading peterson. The problem is it's KILLING brees. Guy looks great but he doesn't have to throw for 300 and 2-3 TDs for the team to be competitive. I hate the thought of streaming a QB after wasting a high draft pick, but I may have to.

    Robert Woods

    Woods is looking amazing, but let's not forget this was Houston. I'm almost convinced they have the most burnable secondary in the NFL. I was drooling at the thought of him this week in DFS and played him in every lineup. paid off too! In season long he's been on my watch list all season. Looked at him every week but kept passing for one reason or another. Always had a decent floor, but never those huge games. Man, was I wrong. Oh well, that's how FF goes

    Drop Jordy Nelson?

    he's riding my bench, but I'm only holding because he has the talent and I want to see if Hundley can pull something together. Also he's my only backup WR. Though through 3 games I feel like Hundley looks towards Adams more and if you had to play a GB WR he is the guy to roll the dice with. Personally I would have no issue dropping him in a 10 man if you needed the space for somebody with more upside potential. The issue is if rodgers does for any reason come back it's in the FF playoffs and that could burn you...badly.. FWIW, we only have to start 2 wrs and I'm riding Tate and Thielen in 0.5 PPR over him without thinking twice right now.

    D. Freeman: is it time to bench him

    with those RBs i don't think you can bench freeman.

    Are you guys still starting Aaron Jones?

    jones is unstartable right now because his QB can't throw it more than 5 yards downfield. Just put 8-9 in the box and laugh at their misfortune.

    CB Sherman out for the season

    Devastating injury. If he even comes back he'll be a JAG.

    seattle D owners

    what are you guys doing? Someone dropped them in my league after week 3 and i grabbed them, but the end of their schedule is brutal. Philly, @ Jax, LAR, @ Dal weeks 13-16.
  23. sitting at 6-3 and in first and 2nd most points scored, but 8th place is 5-4 so it's very tight and not a guarantee I make the playoffs. I need a QB and TE this week for wentz and kelce. This is a 0.5 PPR league. my bench is booker, jordy nelson, damien williams, tarik cohen, ty mont, d'onta foreman so obviously I would look to drop 2 RBs as i'm pretty short at backup WRs with just one. I want to keep foreman because I have miller, but the others I consider a lottery. Who would you drop?
  24. mcgruber

    who to drop for bye week fills.

    thanks guys. that's what my gut was telling me as well.
  25. mcgruber

    Shout out to your unlikely heros carrying your team

    has to be wentz for me. I drafted him as my temporary fill for luck and glad I did.
