he looked good on the opening couple of drives, and it went downhill from there. offense lost momentum on a 4th down gamble when they gave up the FG to try to go for the TD. at that point I think Caleb was 10/11. this is a good defense, so I'd at least give it another week before letting panic set in. I have a feeling this defense will make a few QB look bad this year.

maybe. given the coach .... probably. at the same time if the run game goes like it did against KC I could see a pivot to a more pass oriented game. you know the saying.... go with what works. Right now the pass game is working. run game not so much. That said... KC has a real good run D. so I wouldnt jump on that bandwagon just yet. but if we have a week 2 where the run game still isnt going, then it may be time to think about this option.

well, if you dont think the team will compete for a playoff spot, at least you wait until the team is eliminated from playoff contention. that way the fan base wont blame the rookie for the bad year. seems like a small thing but once the fans get on your rookie starter, thats a big burden for a young player to carry. This at least takes the pressure off of him when he does finally get in to play.

makes sense. I dont think putting him in behind a leaky line is in anyones best interest if trying to develop this young man into a Pro QB.

well, the O line still has issues. even if they think he is ready I think the right move is to wait until later in the season. perhaps they insert him as starter after the bye (if that bye is sometime after week 8 ) or if the team is performing poorly and they need a spark. I do agree, now is likely not the time. but we have all been wrong on this before. we could be wrong on this now. your guess is as good as mine.

hes a good candidate. 5 star college recruit. projected first round NFL pick but had double ankle surgery in his draft year and went late due to the perceived risks. had a couple productive games late last year. he was on my players to watch list and likely now I'll try to get him with some FAAB money

there are always a couple. sometimes that breakout happens in week 2 or 3. This year there were a few players who got more targets/touches than expected. sometimes the breakout is week 1 but often the real breakout is in week 2/3 after a week 1 that shows promise. there are a couple breakouts I've noticed on my players to watch list. what position were you looking for?

because he is angry

bigsby to the eagles kittle to miss 3-5 weeks there ya go. all caught up

I never saw the game but I will point out you can win the game and still not look good. Chiefs did it for a lot of last year.

he is. his run abilty takes his subpar pass numbers and turns them into a good fantasy day. his efficiency overall was decent. 16/22. 1 TD no INT. but what made this good fantasy wise is you add his 48 yards rushing and 2 TD. but he needs to win games. in this case he ran into a highly motovated Aaron Rodgers who had a real good game. He needs to find a way to win these games.

Hey guys, I debated not making this post public, cuz this kind of post really gets people riled up........but after thinking about this, I have to speak out. Bowers is the concensus #1 TE in the NFL this year. I'm telling you I dont think hes gonna be #1. here is why: Pete Carroll historically his offenses do not Feature a TE. for the most part he doesnt have TE that finish in the top 10 or even top 15. then one year he traded for Jimmy Graham. who was the concensus top TE in the NFL with the Saints. he played 3 seasons in seattle. one Meh season, one good season (TE3) and another Meh season and then he was traded. that's literally the only sniff of the top 10 any of his TE's have had during his tenure in Seattle. due to the talent, Im sure he will utilize Bowers. but I do not think he finishes #1. I think he tops out at #4 or #5. Top 3 if everything goes right. But there is a lot more risk here than people think there is. This is not a Criticism of Bowers. Hes a superb talent. This is all about the Pete Carroll offense. say what you will about the guy, but TE are historically not productive under him. thats my prediction. I fully realize a lot of you will be mad at me for making this prediction, but see for yourself. Look at how Carrolls TE's have historically produced. It aint pretty.

they all say that. then the doctors look at them and..... not so much. Not always, but it happens a lot.

not good..... I have no shares of him but you never like to see a player go down like that.

i dont think they will be THAT bad. but I definitely think the results in their games last year were better than they collectively played as a whole.

he sure had a good game today. sadly he is on my bench this week. He and Herbert both on my bench in different leagues as they are backups. but very good backups.

it looks like Geno is having himself a good game. Granted this is not a top team hes up against, so I wouldnt get too excited about him just yet. but the early returns are good

at his age, the odds were against him. still are. but I dont mind seeing him play well. I do hope he does. but ego is a common issue in sport. coaches have to massage and work the ego to keep players in the headspace they need to be in to succeed.

ok maybe they both got hurt. I had family obligations so I wasnt paying as close attention. I was under the impression it was Worthy who got hurt

Kelce didnt get hurt. Xavier worthy did. he and Kelce collided on the field and worthy being the smaller player in that collision got hurt. Kelce (as far as I know) is fine

I seem to recall he had a fast start to the year last year as well and then things settled down. if you are thin at WR it doesnt hurt to try to pick him up but I am a bit skeptical. based on the targets, it looks like its McConkey and Keenan Allen getting most of the love. Quenton produced well but he was the clear #3 in touches, but thats not typically a sustainable situation resulting in high production. you want your starting wr in fantasy to be #1 or #2 in targets most of the time. its also a case where nearly everything the chargers did worked out well. so a team will often use the #3 a bit more so that teams looking at tape will see an even split. That makes it hard to key on any one guy when defending. either way, it was a good game. and if you dont have better alternatives and are weak at WR Quenton may be a reasonable pickup. hes as good as any other lotto ticket out there right now

you never really told us what your alternative is. you said fields is your backup. so who is your starter? we need to know what your alternatives. if your starter is (for example) Aaron Rodgers, the answer could be different than if your starting QB is Baker Mayfield.

on the other hand, those who drafted Keenan Allen at his ADP are absolutely Thrilled!

all it takes is one to value him as a first rounder for him to go there. I had him as a late 2nd rounder before the risk vs reward starts to make sense. when they traded for another RB I knocked him down to late 2nd as a figured they were of the opinion they'd need another RB (which is not a good sign) but in every redraft I was in he did go in round 1. so yeah, others were more optomistic than I was.... and thats fine. hes not the type of player you overpay for due to the risks. so you nailed it. in keeper leagues, better to unload him a year early than a year late. Nobody is gonna pay top dollar for a 30 year old RB who is injury prone. Id rather take my chances with Derek Henry. At least He seems to be reasonably durable. and the upside is almost as good.
