(sigh) One of these seasons, I'm going to .. value “my” opinion more than the so-called experts. I was all set to put a claim in on Kimani Vidal last week. Then I read about how Haskins is the one who “made the team,” while Vidal was released and then re-signed to the Practice Squad. And, about how Haskins played for Harbaugh at Michigan. So, I grabbed Haskins – who did nothting. And, Vidal had something like 10 yards per touch.. So .. I'm gonna drop Haskins this week. From my research, I'm going to try and get TB WR5 Tez Johnson. If not him, I'm going for LAR WR4 J. Whittington. What is everyone else doin'?

Saint: Thanks; I also saw something about horrible weather in CLE..

Full-point PPR. RB1 = Saquon; RB2 = Bill / Croskey. WR1 = Sutton; WR2 = Bourne. TE1 = McBride. I currently am rolling with ARI RB B. Knight, who is home vs. GB. But .. GB has the toughest rush defense YTD.. I also have HOU RB W. Marks - but he was a HUGE disappointment before the BYE week.. Also, he is @ SEA, which sports a Top-10 rush defense. Then I have MIA TE D. Waller, who also disappointed last week; thankfully he did get a TZ TD. He is @ CLE. I also have NYG WR W-Rob who had a good week last week, with help from a miffed tackle on his 36-yd TD. But, NYG are @ DEN, a Top-2 pass defense. Lastly, I grabbed TB WR T. Johnson, who is @ DET. That could / should be a shoot-out and he won the game for TB last week on a crazy-good fully outstretched grab for a TD. "On paper / stats wise," I might switch my FLEX to Tez Johnson. D. Waller I also like, but I'm wary of MIA stopping CLE RB Judkins / CLE has a top-rated defense. Thoughts? Leave YOUR link, I reply!

Bumping for Friday!

Mmmmm .. that blonde moving her hips at 1:48 .. reminds of Dyanna Lauren!

Lol!! Yeah .. I was bummed that ESPN "kept" the BUF @ ATL game, and put the CHI @ WAS drivel on ABC.. Looks like no one else watched it, either!!

It is hard to .. fire one's self!

Full-point PPR. RB1 = Saquon; RB2 = "Bill" Croskey. WR1 = Egbuka (!); WR2 = Sutton; TE1 = McBride. I'm currently rolling with MIA TE1 D. Waller @ the LAC, who has been a STUD since he became Active. I also have SF WR K. Bourne going into a pass-funnel game @ TB. I think Pearsall is DOUBTFUL, while Jennings was LIMITED on Thursday. NOTE: If Jennings is OUT, I will switch to Bourne. And, I grabbed LAC RB H. Haskins who is @ MIA, which has been gashed by RBs so far this season. BUT .. who will get the touches, him or Vidal?? (And .. yeah ..; I should have FLEXed W-Rob on TNF! 20 points!!) Thoughts? Leave YOUR link, I reply!

UPDATE: Saw that Bam Knight will be the RB1 for ARI this week. Grabbed him off the WW. So, he's also a FLEX option, at Indy.

Bumping for Sunday! Update: ARI QB looks like it will be Jacoby Brissett. I could sit McBride, and instead FLEX Bourne, or Haskins.. (TE1 then would be Waller.)

Full-point PPR. RB1 = Saquon; RB2 = "Bill" Croskey. WR1 = Egbuka (!); WR2 = Sutton; TE1 = McBride. I'm currently rolling with MIA TE1 D. Waller @ the LAC, who has been a STUD since he became Active. I also have NYG WR1 (!) W-Rob, who is home vs. a .. not scary PHI DEF. W-Rob is the only starter left. But, PHI's DC is smart enough to just flood the intermediate zone with LBs, and W-Rob will have a "floor" day.. FWIW: I also have SF WR Pearsall, who is likely still INJ. And, I hope to grab: a) LAC RB H. Haskins (Home vs. MIA), and b) DAL WR2 K. Flournoy (@ CAR) off the WW Wednesday night. Thoughts? Leave YOUR link, I reply!

Whoa ..; looks like DAL's new WR2 is K. Fluornoy, and Jalen Tolbert is on the outs, eh? I'll see if I can rectify that, this week! Also, another LAC RB bites-the-dust, so I'll try and grab the “next-man-up.” Waivers looking like this, for me: 1) drop DAL WR3 J. Tolbert for WR2 K. Fluornoy (fallback is SF WR K. Bourne); and 2) drop ARI DEF (didn't like DEN's matchup the past week..) for LAC RB H. Haskins. EVERYONE says he'll be the guy, as he “made the team,” while K. Vidal was cut before the season started (Vidal will be my fallback, as hopefully he will the 3rd-down RB). What is everyone else doin'?

Update: I was the #3 scorer of the week, and I went up against the #2. If you consider the 8-point swing on THAT PLAY, I'd have been the high-scorer of the week in my league.. Just having one of those seasons.. I did see a Twitter / X video, where the ARI Head Coach "lit him up," and even physically jostled with him at least twice, when Demercado returned to the sidelines. Glad to see that.

0MFG.. I lost 128 to 127 - BECAUSE EMERI EMERCADO PURPOSELY FUMBLED *BEFORE* CROSSING THE GOAL LINE?! :-0 That was an 8 point swing - no 6-pt TD, and -2 for the fumble.. 2nd loss in past 4 weeks by < 2 points.

White is sh!t.. Go with MArks.

Full-point PPR. RB1 = Saquon, RB2 = Woody. WR1 = Sutton, WR2 = Egbuka, TE1 = McBride. Currently rolling with Demercado at my FLEX. TEN's offense is awful, and ARI should dominate time of possession. I also have NYG WR2 W-Rob, with no history, as his QB is making only his second start. Should see targets, though, with Nabers OUT. I grabbed Tolbert off the WW, but the Lamb-less offense seems to run through Pickens and Ferguson.. Lastly, I grabbed Waller off the WW, and all he did in his first game last week was catch two RZ TDs! Thoughts? Leave YOUR link, I reply!

Bumping for Sunday!

UPDATE; DAL WR3 K. Turpin has been ruled OUT. So .. possible "ceiling" game coming for Tolbert. ARI RB M. Carter has said he will be the starter, but the HC did not confirm this later in the week. So far: 1 vote for Emercado, 1 vote for Waller. Others' thoughts?

I usually do a similar thread. So, I'll just post here. At WR - I noticed with Worthy back, KC WR4 T. Thornton is no longer a starter. Planning to drop him for: 2) NYG WR2 D. Slayton (no Nabers), or 1) DAL WR2 J. Tolbert (no Ceedee). At TE - I liked MIA TE D. Waller over the summer. He didn't disappoint in his first game action. AND NOW - no WR1 T. Hill. To pick him up, I'd need to drop CLE TE2 H. Fannin. Oh - and, at RB - might grab NO RB2 K. Miller, as he looked good last week. I'd need to drop JAX RB2 B. Tuten to get him, though - or, my TE2 CLE TE2 H. Fannin. Thoughts on the above? Other WRs also available: TEN Ayomanor, CLE Bond, MIA Washington, and GB Doubs (BYE week, tho).

Full-point PPR. RB1 is Saquon. Currently going with "Bill" Croskey at RB2 .. but he has a leg INJ and has been OUT all week, so far. He also plays against ATL DEF, which has been stout this year against running attacks.. But, my other options are: a) Tuten of JAX, on the road vs. San Fran. He seems to have a limited role, but apparently is the goal-line RB.; 2) Marks of HOU, who is home vs. TEN. HOU is heavily favored, and Chub is a traditional two-down back. Don't know how much HOU will need Marks, who seems to be used in a third down role. Sadly, I left RB5 Demercado on the Bench last night, and he scored a late garbage-time TD in the RZ. Oh - and Tuten has teen LIMITED all week with a shoulder INJ. Thoughts? Any dilemmas for YOU this week? Leave YOUR link, I reply!

I have accounts on both FanDuel and Draftkings from a few years ago, when I did the teaser offers that each one offered. They now separate funds for their DFS vs. Sportsbook services. Pre week 1 I upped each site's DFS fund availability to $100, to prepare for the new season. Draftkings routed me to a different vendor called Trustly, and requested I enter my banking Username and Password, for the Sportsbook fund. I balked. I just tried to up my Sportsbook balance on Fanduel, and it uses a different vendor called Plaid, and requested I enter my banking Username and Password, for the Sportsbook fund. I balked. I was just going to register for ESPNBet's free $100 offer .. and it also uses the Truslty vendor. I didn't fund that account, either. Are peeps comfortable putting that information out "in the cloud??" I am not.

Hmmmm - almost 70 views, and no responses.. Do peeps do betting on FD's or DK's sportsbooks? Do peeps just "suck it up," and enter their banking info., cuz that is required?

UPDATE: 1 agrees about "Bill;" 1 for Tuten. FWIW, of the three RBs on WAS' roster, I think McNichols is the best pass-catcher. And, he is likely on my league's WW. Other's thoughts?

Ugh .. lost my RB2 J. Conner last week. Which cost me a win (lost by 8). ATL DEF was also USELESS. Ditto for CLE RB3 D. Sampson (bench). So, gonna be busy this week on the WW! At RB – dropping Conner for Demarcado. I read that he averages 6 yards a touch?! Could be the 3rd-down back.. I'm also dropping Sampson for HOU RB W. Marks. HOU traded up for him, and he averaged 50+ catches in college. Additionally – two weeks in a row is a trend. KC WR T. Thornton. Grabbing him and dropping Boutte. Lastly, dropping ATL DEF, and will grab ARI DEF, who in Week 5 is at home vs. a .. lame TEN offense. What are other peeps doing, in particular J. Conner owners?

Agreed. After Mahomes' SECOND backwards pass, that he took away the fumble recovery from the NYG defensive player - I turned it off. One of the worst played games I've seen in A WHILE..
