well, they want to let him go, but they also dont wanna get sued. so he was a great coach, but the fit wasnt right with the personell and we had to let him go. you can paraphrase that any way you want, but it basically says the same thing.

lots of teams have ruined QB by playing them behind bad lines. Derek Carrs Brother David was drafted #1 overall in Houston and they played him behind a bad line and ruined him too. this is only one example. There are plenty more out there. sure, if you have an elite QB in every way, the line may not matter as much, but the reality is very few QB as a rookie are able to overcome a bad line. and there are not a lot of veteran QB who can do it either. but with a rookie, the learning curve is steep enough as it is. why make it worse by putting the guy behind a bad line? I know in New York all people want is to replace Danny Dimes and I get it, but they need to fix the line first and foremost I think their WR are actually good enough now(though one more playmaker wouldnt hurt) honestly if I was the GM of this team I'd draft an OT in round 1 and a guard or Centre in round 2 or 3 and hire the best O line coach that money can buy. Maybe sign one solid Free agent signing to tide things over (in case one of the rookies need a year of development) and see how things play out from there. If Danny dimes still cant cut it, the next move is to replace Him. the good news.... even if Danny dimes sucks one more year, you will have a top pick to replace him with. if he starts to perform, maybe you keep him. either way, you have rebuilt the line (which needed to be done) and whoever is QB from here on out will have good protection.

probably true. team has been bad for a long time. they will probably dip their toe into the draft pool to replace Jones at the end of the year. though they still have not solved the other problems the team has NFL Offensive Line Rankings 2024: Stacking All 32 OLs Entering Week 9 as per the link, giants O line is still bad. maybe no longer league worst, but its in the bottom quartile which is still pretty bad. I'd say there is no point bringing in a rookie QB to play behind this terrible line. The smart move is to fix this deficiency, get a well respected o line coach to come in and draft a couple O linemen in the first 2-3 picks they have in the upcoming draft. if Jones still cannot perform, then he can be replaced at that point. but putting a rookie in behiind this sad sack O line would be just asking for the same outcome you got with Daniel Jones. it is very possible that he was ruined as a QB prospect by putting him behind this leakly line for so long. it is also possible that if the line problems get fixed Jones may be able to perform. though I think its more likely they ruined him as a player. but even if keeping jones for 1 more year seems the wrong move to make, the right move is to get that O line up to speed so that Jones replacement does not have to go through what Jones did. Your rookie QB should play behind a decent line and this line has been proven to be far from decent.

wow, and it was going so well to start the year. I wonder what changed

with Flacco in permanently at QB you may wish to bump up the Indy WR in your ROW rankings a couple spots. I think this change definitely makes them more valuable. Especially Downs. Saw some tape on him and he looks like the real deal. Probably an undervalued player because of the fact he started the season on the bench due to injury. but the dude balled out as a rookie. almost 800 yards receiving which is nothing to sneeze at for a rookie season.

apparently he looked like the best WR in camp until he got hurt. might be a nice lotto ticket as he is about to return to the lineup

fair enough. I suppose its like the value of a QB in a superflex format. as there are only so many starters, the talent gets thinned quickly and once the draft happens nobody is trading QB. in this case its RB and you are looking at a 16 team league.... liklely it is a similar issue (especially if you start 2)

someone gave you Reed? ok thats a bigger surprise than the finding him on waivers. Reed is a good player. Tracy could be good, but the sample size is too small to say for sure. as a Reed owner I wouldnt trade him for Tracy. but hey, all the more power to you for getting that trade. You definitely got top dollar for him

while I like Tracy, I think Robinson is a better player at this point in their careers. but for me the head to head nature makes me more sure about the Robinson pick

this is one of those where the head to head nature of a matchup becomes more interesting. those 2 teams play each other. The majority of the time the better RB stats belong to the winning team. So I'd Pick Brian Robinson there. but if you truly think New York will win, then Tracy is your bet. I wouldnt bet on that, but if you truly think thats the way it goes down, you know what you need to do. but I am a big believer in the Washington offense. This team is for real and I dont think New York has a great chance to win this game at all. While tracy may put up decent numbers, I suspect Brian Robinson gets all the garbage time carries late in the contest and that buoys him to a better outcome.

I'll be honest given Chubbs injury I'm skeptical about him being able to perform. I think its too soon after his injury for him to have a chance, but if Ford is still injured as I suspect, he may get a good workload. but hes also against the Chargers. Not a great matchup. despite the extra workload there is a fair chance the gamescript makes him irrelevant late in the game. In the end, I would probably go with Tracey if those were my only 2 choices as he has a reasonably decent matchup for a RB.

in some leagues he was dropped. likely the concussion did it. but he should be rostered. if you spy him on your wire you should look at picking him up

based on how the year went, I'd say he wasnt washed up. but he also isnt elite anymore either. Not sure how that plays out money wise, but I do think he'd be hard pressed to get a new contract that's better than the one he voided (if that has indeed come to pass) but If I was the agent Id have told him to wait on voiding the contract until year end.

I'd probably have downs ranked around 25 or so give or take. I watched the film on him from last game and he looks really good. I suspect a lot of his owners dont even realize what they have in him. Hes got considerable upside that still has not been realized. As for Pittmann, I'd have to do some digging. but I'd guess hes likely in the range of 34. (give or take)

I thought the team gave him the option to void the last years of his contract. but has he done that already? if he hasnt, he could just play it out. but if they are already voided, this injury really makes that decision look terrible now. I suspected he would not be able to get a better contract once he hit free agency as he just doesnt look like the same player he was when this contract was signed. Either way, dumb move on his part.

AR is a hold for sure. I think at some point they go back to him. I just dont know if that will be this year or next. but you know the team wants him to force them to start him so if he shows progress they will for sure give him another chance when it makes sense to do so.

downs is a WR2 with Flacco at QB. I have shares of him in all my leagues. very cheap pickup. Great news if you are a Downs owner.

Thats not true. but they are at a point where they need to string some wins together to make the playoffs now. They might be able to lose 1 along the way. If that comes to pass, they will be 10-7. I think that gets them there as a wild card. While teams have made the playoffs with a 9-8 record or worse, its atypical and I wouldnt bet on this. any worse than 10-7, and they are likely on the outside looking in. (and 10-7 isnt a guaranteed playoff spot either) but if they run the table, 11-6 will do it for sure. I'd say at this point their chances to make the playoffs is low. No doubt about it, but definitely not impossible.

its also possible one of them had an unreported injury and is about to go under the knife once the new guy gets up to speed. though you are probably right. it is possible that one will rise above the rest and remain fantasy relevant, but Jackson really doesnt throw the ball enough for 3 possibly even 2 of them to be fantasy relevant.

it is worth noting that they cant run him into the ground. I think its good to restrict his carries until the post season. post season you wanna take full advantage of this. You want this guy a little fresh rolling into the post season so that you have the ability to do this. I'm pretty sure thats why Henry isnt seeing the level of usage you all are wanting. and given his age, I'd likely do the same. Lean on him heavy when it REALLY matters. anything over 6 yards per carry is basically unstoppable at any level.
