    I think everyone here is aware that they are getting their information from the greatest fantasy football mind to ever stomp the terra, even if he also happens to be a chick magnet.

    Hey, if you want me to hire you to be my stat department, you can go through film and count up the air yards per target for each receiver yourself.  I don't have the stat department that Matthew Berry does, so I have to trust what I read on the internet.  As I've said before, if you have better sources, present them, and we'll all take a step forward.  If you don't have any better sources than mine, then I'm not sure that this criticism makes much sense.

    I look forward to your personal insights into players and statistics that aren't available on the internet, but that you have created yourself.

    any other source beside your full of sh!t self is better... 😉

    I came back to FFToday after 18 months away for one reason, to pay my board respects to David PatteRn.  That being said, I could not pass up comment on this thread.  I read Berry's 100 facts religiously every year.  He has a common sense approach to his observations that you can usually gleam some information from.  And most of the time he is mildly entertaining.  Axe Elf has neither of those things.  All of his observations are taken ripped from other sources, some are incorrect and none are entertaining.  If you want to adjust your perspective on the "advice" you're being given, then realize you're getting it from this guy:

    I won a two-week championship that finished in week 17.  In week 6 I put up 172 pts and won with a lineup of:  L Jackson, J Conner, D Cook, M Evans, T Hill, G Kittle, Damien Williams.  (made some good trades early in the season to get a loaded lineup)

    in Week 17 I won the championship with:  R Tannehill, R Mostert, D Washington, T Hill, B Perriman, G Kittle and AJ Brown.  I had to dump Evan (injury), Conner (injury), Lamar Jackson (sit) and Dalvin (sit/inj)...basically the crux of the roster that got me there.  Hate Week 17.

    I'm in a league that plays through week 17 & have Hopkins & Hyde. So this is definitely a concern.... although, if you believe him.....

    Texans head coach Bill O'Brien said that he has no plans to rest players for Week 17 against the Titans.

    This has changed.  You might want to adjust accordingly...

    Steelers and Raiders should have won another game and they wouldn’t be in that position. 

     

    I'm a lifelong Steelers fan, and this is completely correct.  Don't lose to the Jets and you don't have to worry about who's playing when.  The NFL only has so many games slots at each time, and tickets are issued with a date/time LONG before the gameday.

    We'll add another to the list.  Jets had it 4th and 1 at somewhere around the Pitt 30 or 40.  They went for it going in the  hurry up offense.  Pittsburgh is subbing players and get caught with too many men on the field.  They had 3 timeouts and they didn't use 1.  He also didn't challenge a potential Haden int later in the game that resulted in a Jets score (can't remember if it was the TD they scored or a FG).  I can probably give him a break on the int because in real time, it didn't appear to be one.  After watching the replay and hearing a commentator explain the rule, it probably was one.

    Oh, there were coaching blunders a plenty in that game.  First, remember that any call that Tomlin challenges is an automatic loss.  He's incapable of winning a challenge.  Beyond that, Steelers get the ball back with like 3 minutes and he proceeds to run Samuels right into a stacked line, putting them in 2nd & 9 with the clock ticking on the rookie QB?  The play calling he lets Fictner get away is absurd.

    A few things here:

    The bigger concern, to me, is if Baltimore locks up the stop spot.  With NE playing the Bills on Saturday, it's conceivable that the Bills win and guarantee Baltimore the top spot in the AFC.  If that's the case, I expect the Ravens to play some, but the motivation is gone and protection from injury becomes a concern.  

    As for San Fran, that defense has been very beatable the last few weeks in the passing game, in fact, they've been among the worst.  Unfortunately, with them playing on Saturday, you have to make a decision about them AND the Ravens defense way ahead of normal timeframe.  And playing against a Rams team that got EMBARRASSED by Dallas needs wins, they are a risky proposition in my opinion.  

    As for NE, this game vs the Bills is huge, and they have to play to win.  In fact, if they lose, they actually fall to 2nd in the division and NE, KC, Buffalo and even Houston could all be play for that spot.  So I expect NE to go balls out.

    Lockett and Brown. 

    Mixon. 

    I was thinking the same at WR, but had Ekeler and Mixon in a coin toss.  They are projected for nearly same output, and both have good matchups.  It's a good problem to have, my 8 starters scored 177 pts in that league and my 5 bench players (only 1 QB, Brees, no sandbagging) scored 115 or so.  Still mulling it over, but thanks for the input WP.  I

    That is the opposite of what has happened this year. Tomlin lost his QB in the second game of the year, and has been without his RB1 and WR1 for long stretches, started out 1-4, yet his team is currently favored to make the playoffs. That’s amazing! He’s a strong contender for coach of the year.

    He was, until this past game where he really dented his chances.  Letting Fichtner call the offensive game he did is a huge failure on Tomlin's part.  Putting your UFA rookie QB playing in a playoff-type atmosphere vs a very good defense and tilting your office to 70%+ passing calls resulting in 4 INTs?  C'mon...

    Going in two leagues: 

    League 1:  12 Teamer, start 8: (1QB/1RB/2WR/1TE/1FLEX/1K/1DST) 

    QB:  L. Jackson, D. Brees

    RB:  C. McCaffrey, A. Eckler, J. Mixon, R. Mostert

    WR:  K. Allen, C. Kupp, T. Lockett, A.J. Brown

    TE:  G. Kittle

    K:  R Gould

    DST: Steelers 

    Spoken with a tear in my eye, this team is hands down the best team I've ever had.  12-1 regular season, highest scoring team by almost 280 pts  40 pt average margin of victory.  The one loss was by 5 pts (although I did win one earlier in the season by 0.46).  At 10-0, nine of 13 players on the roster were drafted by me.  Jackson, Brees, McCaffrey, Eckler, Allen, Kupp, Locket and Kittle were all my picks.  Steelers were a pick of mine as well but I bailed on them early and streamed before coming back a few weeks ago.  If this team loses in the 'ship i will be heartbroken because it's one of the best times I've ever seen in a competitive 12 team league.  

     

    League 2 - 10 Teamer (1QB/2RB/2WR/1TE/1FLEX/1K/DST)

    Starters:  L. Jackson, D. Cook, R. Mostert, T. Hill, E. Sanders, G. Kittle, AJ Brown, Steelers, Gould

    Bench:  J. Conner, J. White, P. Laird, R. Tannehill, D. Parker, DJ Chark, S. Shepard

    I'd like to, again, bring up the combo of Randy Fichtner and Mike Tomlin in Pittsburgh.  Facing Buffalo, who is 3rd against the pass and sporting one of the two best corners in the game right now, the Steelers braintrust opts to have their rookie UFA Duck Hodges throw the ball 38 times, and only runs 15 times the entire game despite having back last years Pro Bowl running back James Conner.  4 INTs later and a loss of a winnable game, now the playoff hopes are on the ropes.  Hey Tomlin, RUN THE FVCKING BALL YOU IDIOT!  

    that is all...

    FU to Lamar Jackson for making fantasy football after Thursday night anti-climatic. Putting my team in two leagues up by 20+ pts over their QB (Mahomes in one, Matt Ryan in the other) is really unfair to me.  It's almost like knowing that I was going to win or something. 

     

    ***EDIT - I'm only kidding Fantasy Football Gods...I dare not mock the blessings I've been given.

    And the patheticness continues.  1/3 of the way thru 2nd Q and still no catches.  He's been targeted on a couple of passes, but road Goff is awful.  I'm about to be done with Kupp.  I have AJ Brown sitting on my bench in favor of zero points from Kupp.

    Ive got to decide between kupp and aj brown.  Both getting similar targets of late but i think brown is on the field more. Can't have a broken play td from the sideline 

    not to mention that AJ's big play potential is much greater.
