I thought it looked like they were gearing up to give David Johnson more work in this last game. Oh boy, right again...

Why would it be invalid?

Tonyan is probly the best TE they've faced thus far, though... Anthony Firkser, Tyler Conklin, the Jags the week after they lost O'Shaughnessy, Kittle-less 49ers, Cleveland and Houston; only the Rams have anything like a starting fantasy TE--and he pretty much put up his usual stat line against the Cardinals. I guess this week we'll see if it's the coverage or the TEs they've faced up til now.

Steve Young with the line of the year in "You Got Mossed" when they showed a 5'8" Oklahoma State WR going up and taking it away from a pair of Iowa State defenders: "You got Tyler Locketted."

I have a lot of Mahomes too. But at least I have a lot of Henry, so I didn't go without a TD pass entirely.

When the Titans play the Chiefs in Week 7, Derrick Henry will throw more TD passes than Patrick Mahomes.

Sure, but then they're no longer just dealing with his PR nightmare, they're dealing with the very real possibility that the NFL will step in and place him on the exempt list pending investigation or something. Houston isn't forcing the NFL's hand by voluntarily scratching him every week, but if someone tries to play him, the NFL as a whole will have to decide if they want to deal with his PR nightmare, or if they just sideline him pending further information. So now you've traded three first round picks for a pumpkin.

If Frank Swain and Gerald Everett don't outscore Tre'Quan Smith by more than 56 points, I will win a game with Mike Davis, LeVeon Bell, Brandin Cooks, Brandon Aiyuk, Amon-Ra St. Brown, and Tre'Quan Smith in the starting lineup--with Lamb, Thielen, Williams, Golladay and Carson all out.

But if he outscores no defense he can't score a lot; some defenses didn't score very many points to begin with.

Ahem...

I think Axe Elf said it best when he said: "When a college with a rich tradition of producing NFL QBs like Ohio State graduates a prospect to an NFL team with a rich tradition of drafting college QBs like the Bears, one should feel justified in reserving their judgment of Justin Fields. Now, I don't watch the second halves of preseason games (nothing fantasy-relevant ever happens in the second halves of preseason games), but against first-half competition, Fields was first spooked on a blitz and lofted up a pass that was dropped by a defender, and then promptly fumbled the ball on the next play (fortunately it went out of bounds). "So I don't think it's too early at this point to declare Fields a bust in the NFL."

As a heavy investor, I'm obviously biased, but it sounds like this has been a chronic issue that just flares up from time to time, and this is the latest time. That said, it also sounds like a very serious issue--but again, one he has apparently played with in the past. So I'm hopeful he'll be back in Week 10 for the stretch run after their Week 9 bye. He's been producing pretty well when active. He's a hold if at all possible.

"Did you ever have a matterbaby?" "What's a matterbaby?" "Nothin'; what's a matter with you?" That joke made some impression on me early in elementary school, so when I started hearing "matterbaby" being called during an NFL football game to which I was peripherally attending, it caught my attention. I finally figured out they were calling the name of Josh Imatorbhebhe of the Jacksonville Jaguars, whose last name is pronouced "a-matter-bay-bay." I am even more delighted to learn that he has a brother, Daniel Imatorbhebhe, who is coming into his own as a TE transfer from USC to my alma mater, Kansas State. Great come from behind win today for the 'Cats, too.

Coincidentally, I was recently going through some stored clothes and found an old league championship t-shirt circa 2004, autographed by as many members of the AFFA as could make it to Las Vegas in the subsequent preseason. So if there's any members of the old AOL AFFA out there, cheers! AFFA Championship T-Shirt 2004 (Too bad he couldn't spell "Kakorrhaphiophobiaxe" or get the logo right, but he tried.)

Amon-Ra is just turning the corner, but Tre'Quan Smith is coming back too.
