(Adam) Arch(uleta) was talking about ALL the doom-and-gloom IN HOU two years ago, when it lost the #1 seed to CAR by winning. "Instead," they got CJ Stroud. Also: NE was #3 last year, and got Maye. The Pats got a really good look at the Rookie QB from TEN, and he looked good. Brissett is likely gone next season.

Worms - I live near Boston. Check out this post-game gem from the local paper / website: Arguably the worst season the Patriots have had in decades will come to an end a week from Sunday. If Saturday’s game is going to be used to determine anyone’s future in New England, then just about no one made a good case for why they should remain with the Patriots. The team was a mess on all fronts throughout the game, leading to further questioning about the whole operation.

Uh - QB1 - OUT; RB1 - OUT; WR1 - OUT; TE1 - OUT. Not an atypical matchup / opponent!

I think his X-head-X LACK OF BODY MASS, AS A RB, made him expendable. FTFY.

So .. I thought I had a decent team. Drafted SF RB2 J. Mason late, which paid off, early on. Had King Henry in Round 1. ARI RB J. Conner my RB2. WAS RB B-Rob a mid-round pick. Round 4 was C. Kupp. DAL's KCR (changed to LAC's KCR when Dak went down). I finished out of the FF playoffs. I took a look at my draft, and I did try and draft Saquon in Rd 2, but I didn't realize a quirk in the system, and instead went with SF WR D. Samuel. I did a "what if" analysis, and did Saquon in Rd 2, and M. Evans in Rd 3. Basically, no impact?? I just had time, and did some more digging. Oh ..; out of 14 weeks, 9 times I played a Top-6 scoring team; 10 times a Top-7. I checked out Points Against, and I was .. 4th worst. THERE IT IS!! F&$% the FF scheduling God!!

Guru! Looks like you're working on responses. I've got another one for ya. Full-point PPR. My current TE1 is H. Henry, @ ARI. He's been the only .. steady pass-catcher for NE this year. I also picked up BUF TE1 D. Kinkaid, who will be in a shoot-out @ DET. And, I have NO TE1 J. Johnson, but he's with a significant downgrade at QB this week, vs. WAS. Stay with Hunter?

Full-point PPR league. WR1 is C. Kupp; WR2 is J. Jennings. Current WR3 is M. Nabers. I also have: WR4 B. Thomas, and WR4 = M. Harrison (Jr.). My .. last / bottom-3 all have .. QB issues. Nabers has DeVito throwing behind a horrid O/L. Thomas has "pop-gun" Jones TRYING to throw the long ball. And, Harrison's QB loves throwing solely to his TE.. Stay with Nabers, or switch out to one of the other WRs? (My top-2 will play Thursday night, and will be "locked-in")

I currently am rolling with Purdy .. but CHI's pass defense scares me. Many sites with start 'em guidance are recommending stay-away from Jennings and Deebo. Meanwhile, Levis has a cup-cake matchup vs. the 2nd worst pass defense, Jacksonville. Switch out to Levis?

Grateful: FU to my league commissioner for d!cking with the waiver wire rules this year. Despite never picking anyone up, every week I'm last in the order. Apparently he set it to highest points always goes last, and is too dumb to figure out how to fix it. This isn't that out of the ordinary. Or, it didn't use to be. THAT was the default for FF Leagues, a number of years ago. "Worst-to-first." Your league should REALLY go to FAAB. That way, in theory, any owner can get any player - as long as they're willing to use their credits for him.

Full-point PPR. RB1 = J. Conner. I'm currently rolling with McCormick. The Interim HC is a fan. RB2 Z. White is OUT, and RB1 A. Mattison is on a bad ankle. I grabbed LAC RB3 Vidal last week, when Dobbins went down. But, he didn't do much.. This week, I grabbed CHI RB3 T. Homer mid-week, when I saw that both CHI RBs are banged up. CHI RB2 R-Jo is OUT. RB1 D. Swift is hobbled on a bad quad. Thoughts?

Full-point PPR. WR1 is C. Kupp. I'm currently rolling with CAR WR1 A. Thielen as my WR2, vs. Philadelphia. My RBs and TEs suck, so I'm gonna FLEX a WR. I'm currently rolling with BUF WR1 K. Shakir vs. LAC. So .. yeah .. I'm benching my 2nd round pick, Deebo Samuel, who is playing against a top-2 CHI pass defense. Also, I read he is the WR45 (!) this year. And, he hasn't had more than 21 yards the past three games?? Sadly, bench-worthy.. Thoughts?

weepaws: perhaps he has a player coming back / off-of IR, and needs a roster spot.

I think he's .. 37? He had a GREAT run. Top-2 KCR with Adam Vinatieri. Will be interesting to see who BAL brings in to try out this week.

Full-point PPR. WR1 = Nabers, WR2 = C. Kupp. I'm currently going with MH Jr., as his QB is healthy. I'm seeing that JAX QB Lawrence has been LTD the past two days. If he's Active, I'll likely switch out to B. Thomas. I also have J. Jennings. SF QB Purdy has been EXTREMELY Limited in practice W & R. Allen will not fare well on the road against a tough BUF DEF, if he's the starter again.. Thoughts?

UPDATE: I *did* switch out to B. Thomas Jr.

Full-point PPR. RB1 is King Henry. RB2 is J. Conner. So .. an update to my WSIS #2 post. I see that WAS RB1 B-Rob is healthy. My FLEX is currently SF WR D. Samuel, who I was liking more, with Purdy playing. BUT - Samuel has had fewer than 6 catches in 9 of his 10 games so far this year.. B-Rob is up against a TEN run DEF that has only allowed TWO RBs all year to go for over 60 yards on them.. Even so, with Ekeler concussed, B-Rob should see a multiple of touches, vs. Samuel.. Will switch out to B-Rob. Thoughts?

RBs vs. TEN run DEF this year: 1) D. Swift = 10/30; J. Jacobs = 14/43; 3) D. Achane = 10/15; 4) T. Sermon = 18/29; 5) J. Cook = 12/32; 6) D. Montgomery = 9/33; 7) R. Stevenson = 10/16; JK Dobbins = 15/50; 8) A. Jones = 153/9; 9) J. Mixon = 14/22..

Yeah ..; I just looked at the FF Stats, RB Pts allowed, and TEN run DEF has stuffed several good RBs this year.. With Purdy to play - back to Deebo!

Full-point PPR. At QB, I'm currently going with Levis. I think he had a career game last week? Rodgers hasn't thrown for 300 yards once this year.. At FLEX - oh; WR1 = C. Kupp; WR2 = K. Shakir. I'm currently going with Deebo. Previously vs. BUF he went 6/76. I also have NE WR Douglas vs. Indy, and he also has gone for 6/84 against them, previously. Lastly, I have CAR WR A. Thielen against a bottom-10 pass DEF / Tampa. Historically, he hasn't done much - 2/12 and 3/25. Thoughts?

UPDATE: Whew! SF QB B. Purdy was Full on Friday. I'll roll with him; TEN and NYJ were my QB2 and QB3.

Full-point PPR. RB1 is D. Montgomery. I have NYJ RB B. Hall in my line-up .. but everything that I've read is that he is VERY questionable to play.. My only other real option is LVR RB3 A. Abdullah. I *just* saw that LVR RB1 A. Mattison is OUT. LVR RB Z. White was ruled OUT the other day. So .. go with Abdullah playing Friday (today!!), or risk going with B. Hall? My RB4 is WAS RB J. McNichols against a brutal TEN run DEF.. Thoughts?

UPDATE: I saw a Rotoworld blurb that Hall was Limited again on Fri, and trending to play. I did NOT switch out to Ameer.

With Mattison and White OUT .. any peeps rollin' with Ameer Abdullah?? Considering sitting a very questionable NYJ RB1 Breece Hall..

Saw this via Edge, when I opened a new tab. Personally, I'd have pulled his a$$ after the disastrous INT early in the game, Week 6.. They really need to switch to someone else.. Odds are his contract has an injury guarantee. I believe his guaranteed money runs out after this season. That is the LAST thing you want, for 2025. Paying him $40M a year when injured, and handicapping the team's ability to MOVE ON. Giants' Brian Daboll comments on Daniel Jones' future after benching

I need LAR WR C. Kupp to score 25 points (or, moon-shot 43!). I think 25 is do-able. Previously vs. MIA he went 11 / 110. Just have ONE of those catches be for a TD, and I'm "there." In my "for fun league," I need him to score 43.. I played NYJ QB A. Rodgers over ARI QB K. Murray, which cost me 20 points.. Otherwise, again, I'd only need roughly a couple dozen points in that league, too.
