Ha, ha - I knew that! Gotta play Wilson, after last week. And, Olave, without Shaheed there anymore. EZ PZ!

I hope peeps saw my “Addition” post, regarding ARI WR M. Wilson last week! Wahoo!! PIT DEF also paid off big-time, for last week's WW activity. But, otherwise - ugh .. another week with slim pickings on the waiver-wire.. Two stand out, though – and I'm gonna be flipping PIT DEF. I'll be dropping WAS RB “Bill” Croskey, and try to get GB RB E. Wilson. I don't think I'll get him - but as a 1-week flier, CIN WR A. Iosivas is a good pick-up. (I'll instead FLEX NYG WR W-Rob.) And regarding PIT DEF – they are @ CHI, and CHI doesn't allow opposing DEFs to score.. So, I'll try and grab CLE DEF @ LVR. What is everyone else doin'?

I think I had a good link for this.. Got a new PC last year, and didn't offload my browser favorites.. I saw that someone is concerned about wind in DEN today?? If anyone has a site / link that has the weather for each team hosting a game each week - please share! Thanks!!

Excellent!! Thank Flipper!

Full-point PPR. RB1 = Saquon, RB2 = Woody. WR1 = Egbuka, WR2 = Sutton. TE = McBride. I'm currently rolling with "the only ARI WR standing," M. Wilson, Home vs. SF. Historically, when he's been "the guy," he's done well (5/78, and 7/76/2 TDs). BUT - I see that SF WR R. Pearsall is back from injury, and he was "on fire" the first three weeks of the season. He's at ARI. I also have JAX WR P. Washington, who has played well the past two weeks with B. Thomas Jr. banged up - PW is Home vs. LAC. And, I also have "the only NYG WR standing," W-Rob who is Home vs. GB. The G-Men are a mess this week, with firing their Head Coach, and this will be their QB3's first start (J. Winston), in .. forever. FWIW - a lot of peeps are down on Sutton, for various reasons. I could play two of the above, and bench Sutton. Oh - and I also have WAS RB "Bill" Croskey who I could FLEX, but it appears he lost the RB1 role last week to C-Rod. Thoughts?? Leave YOUR link, I reply!

Update: So .. JAX WR1 B. Thomas Jr. is now ruled OUT. Parker has been on fire the past two weeks, but goes up against a Top-2 defense against Wrs.. More stats Sutton – has scored Tds in each of the past four games vs. KC; last home game went 6/70/1; Pearsall – last away game @ Ari went 6/69/1; and W-Rob – last game vs. GB went 6/116; More thoughts Sutton – YTD, not the WR1 for DEN ..; Franklin leads in tgts, catches and Tds (not yards, though) Pearsall – his first game back, and also QB Purdy's ..; temper expectations? W-Rob – GB's pass rush is scary ..; and has a good DC – could keep Lbs in the intermediate zone to cut down on passing lanes for him ..; also, NYG's Tes are bigger / safer targets, in that area; also, he has minimal “upside” Oh – Weepaws: I have Pearsall in an IR slot.

Full-point PPR. McBride is on a BYE week. MIA TE D. Waller .. strained his t!t. Will likely need to grab a TE off the WW. What's available, and the match-ups - lower totals are better: Rnkgs Total MIN TJ Hockenson borderline TE1/2 @ LAC 19 / 22 41 NYG TE T. Johnson usable streamer @ PHI 7 / 30 41 LAC TE O. Gadsden II an ascending TE1 H, MIN 20 / 21 37 NYJ TE M. Taylor QB T. Taylor would be a boon for him @ CIN 30 / 1 31 PIT P. Freiermuth not enough passing volume.. H, GB 1 / 2 3 CIN N. Fant not enough passing volume.. H, NYJ 21 / 7 28 Hey LA peeps - why is Gadsden blowing up, with the three good WRs on that roster?? Is he worth a flier on? Also: Freiermuth SCREAMS like a ceiling week Thing is - PIT has TWO other TEs that are also good.. Who are YOUR top-2 to file a claim for?

Ugh .. another week with slim pickings on the waiver-wire.. SEA KCR paid off, but I'll roll with DAL KCR for the rest of the season, now that his BYE week is over. So, dropping SEA KCR for one of the following: 1) PIT DEF (Home, vs CIN); 2) GB DEF (@ NYG); 3) TB RB3 S. Tucker (played well last week); or 4) LVR WR T. Lockett (lead team last week). I don't like DEN DEF at home vs. KC off of a BYE week, so prioritizing getting a second DEF with a good matchup. What is everyone else doin'?

Addition: Oooooo! I saw ARI WR1 MH Jr. had an appendectomy. Gonna try and get WR2 M. Wilson (WR3 Z. Jones is ALSO OUT!). Weill drop KC RB4 B. Smith to get him.

A .. media outfit in NY likes CLE HC K. Stafanski - assuming he's let go on Black Monday: SNY’s Connor Hughes believes Browns HC Kevin Stefanski is “a name to watch” for the Giants head coaching vacancy. Stefanski certainly couldn’t be blamed for wanting to exit Cleveland after another season spent coordinating a dead-on-arrival offense hamstrung by Deshaun Watson’s contract. Especially after he didn’t appear to be on Andrew Berry’s page about giving up Joe Flacco to the Bengals in a midseason trade. As we hit silly season, Stefanski’s status will be one of the more important dominoes to watch. Hughes also mentions as names to watch for the job: Packers DC Jeff Hafley, Rams OC Mike LaFleur, Eagles OC Kevin Patullo (??), Chiefs DC Steve Spagnuolo, Vikings DC Brian Flores, Former Raiders HC Antonio Pierce, and Texans DC Matt Burke. Hmmmm - I like Stefanski, and Burke.

Oooooo! USA Today has an interesting Contributor article, suggesting Bill Belichick! If there was a reason that Belichick’s buyout with his North Carolina contract was just $1 million – which screams of a keep-my-options-open exit door – this is it. Belichick didn’t wait to get rejected again by NFL teams during the last hiring cycle before bolting to the college ranks. Back then, though, the NYG job wasn’t open. Now it is.

I didn't even make it to halftime.. The field conditions and PHI players slipping. The ridiculousness of offensive offsides NEVER being called. And, BTW, I noticed that A LOT, recently. In real-time, not even the replays. HORRENDOUS officiating this season.

Even when the G-Men got the leads in games, they couldn't hold them.. I'm not surprised Daboll is gone. Off-hand .. I'm not sure who the next HC should be, though.

Yup. Just turned off LAR @ SF. Other two are just as lopsided..

Really suffered this past week, with PHI and TB being off for the BYE week.. Was the lowest scorer in the league. But, Saquon and Egbuka are back for the rest of the season (barring injury!). Lots of peeps on the waiver-wires this week! With DAL on BYE this week, I need a KCR. Still like SEA KCR, and will drop SF WR K. Bourne to get him. I don't need LAR DEF any more, so dropping them for: 1) NYG RB D. Singletary, or 2) JAX RB2 B. Tuten. Lastly, KC RB B. Smith was useless.. So, dropping him for JAX WR P. Washington. What is everyone else doin'?

"Additionally" - I checked DEN's game for Wk 11. Ugh - home vs. KC. I also put in for HOU DEF (@ TEN in Wk 11), and will drop NE WR K. Boutte.

Eh .. His contract is up after this season. I think NO is still in salary cap h3ll, from the Brees years. Might as well get SOMETHING for him, before he leaves as a FA.

Full-point PPR. RB1 = Bam (!; Knight); RB2 = Woody. WR1 = Sutton; WR2 = W-Rob. I'm currently rolling with Boutte, vs. ATL. But, ATL has only allowed 6 passing TDs, and no WR has gone for over 100 yards on them this year. I also have KC RB B. Smith who is @ BUF. But, K. Hunt is in his way.. Smith hasn't scored yet in 2025.. I also have Bill / Croskey, but he is on the road against SEA's Top-10 run defense. He's also been boom (2x) or bust (6x).. Lastly, I have SF WR Bourne who is @ NYG. He's done nothing the past two weeks, and with NYG's offense so beat up, SF can likely just pound the rock and win the game. Thoughts? Leave YOUR link, I reply!

Busy Friday, so haven't checked news / injury reports. "Right now" - planning to FLEX KC RB B. Smith. And, bumping for Saturday!

What Weepaws said!

Ugh .. Hockenson last week hurt. But, what cost me a win was BOTH TB WR1 Egbuka and DEN WR1 Sutton dropping TD passes.. (I lost by three points.) Not much out there on the waiver wires these days.. Still, with McBride's BYE out of the way, no more need for Hockenson. And, TB's DEF was great last week, but on a BYE in Wk 9. So .. dropping Hockenson for either NE WR K. Boutte, who at least has some ceiling. If not him, then newly Active GB WR C. Watson. Also, dropping TB DEF, and will try and get LAR DEF, who are @ NO. And, will drop KC RB B. Smith for a KCR I need in Wk 10 – will go for SEA KCR, who will play ARI that week. What is everyone else doin'?

Ah .. thanks for that. I didn't watch the game, was going off a Rotoworld summary. Still sucks for me, though. I'll likely lose this week.

Aren't ALL FIVE of their wins in the last two minutes of every game??

Ugh.. I'm up 131 to 124, but opponent has Samuel & Ertz on MNF. BECAUSE: 1) Egbuka dropped a TD pass, AND 2) Sutton dropped a TD pass. AND - Sutton also had a TD called-back, because he pushed off. Oh, and Saquon tweaked his hammy, so I lost out on ANOTHER 100 yards that Bigsby had..
