probably so would hopkins.

hes special. I have never known anyone that can go in and play (and be productive) that quickly after joining a team. I honestly think he may be a unique talent.

I do agree, as the backup, you should prepare as if you are going to play. but some players need time to mentally prepare for being in there. its always tough when you go in without a lot of time to get ready.

possible. a couple fumbles from your lead back in a game could mean hes headed to the bench. I think the main reason teams didnt sign fournette is the injury. there were likely durability concerns. sometimes the lisfranc can become somewhat degenerative depending on what part of the lisfranc was actually damaged (it can be tendon, nerve, bone and I think one or two other things that all run through that area and when one part gets damaged the rest doesnt work the way it should) but this late in the season they are likely betting durability isnt as much of an issue.

I think this just goes to show some QB's are not necessarily suitable to all offensive systems. That said, the Defense needs to take a certain amount of responsibility for this last loss. they needed to stop the offense late in the game and they didnt. Though I will say the Defense looked a lot better than the offense did overall. sometimes a defense gives up yards at the end of the game because they are tired from spending so much time on the field. This may be the case here. Early in the game that Defense was pretty stout.

Agreed. nothing you can do. but this is one of the risks with signing an older player to a long term contract like what they gave him. sometimes they hit a certain age and suddenly injury prone. This seems to especially be the case with running QB's who (for the most part) seem to be done by the age of 30.

Dobbs is likely matchup dependant but I'd want him rostered.

hes in a better offense. I'm not surprised. but what has surprised me is how quickly he did it. He basically learned the playbook in 2 weeks and has been productive enough to win a game less than 1 week after being traded to the team. That is absolutely nuts! Most QB's take most of the preseason to learn the playbook and some dont even learn it all at that point. this guy is a gamer. I'm buying in wherever I can (though it is likely too late)

hes good enough. But there is a difference between being a good actual QB and a good Fantasy QB. Tim Teebow (when he was in Denver) was a great fantasy QB but not a good actual QB. maybe Lawrence is a good actual QB who doesnt put up huge fantasy numbers.... tough to say for sure. All I know is last weeks numbers were not encouraging.

probably a fair bet. Though Knox is good enough that he may cut into some of Kincaid's targets. its even possible that the presence of 2 TE's may make neither an exceptionally compelling play. But I do like what Kincaid has shown in this brief audition. I dont honestly anticipate a huge dropoff. maybe one less target per game or something of the like.

well, I was never sure about Ridley. Honestly I dont think hes a true #1 WR. and maybe that was part of the problem. he was miscast and then when you play a guy whos not a #1 WR and use him as such, everything in your offense doesnt work quite the way you want it to.

well, I guess that depends on how you define blue chipper..... but I'd say at the very least he should remain rostered until we have news that suggests otherwise. it is possible this turns into a TE by committee thing. but I wouldnt bet on that at this point. if you own Kinkaid, dont drop him (unless you are in my league.... I need a TE)

well, he hasnt looked all that good this season. Last year he looked like he could be breaking into that upper tier so hopes were high and then..... nothing. inconsistent play. some injuries.... sure I'll buy that, but a generational QB overcomes those things.

I think you play the matchups. no need to lock yourself into one guy for the rest of the year. nothing wrong with this.

and it certainly was. in our scoring format he got just over 15 fantasy points. thats solid. bordering on RB1 territory. I am not complaining

good news for Donta owners. I have injuries and byes this week and someone dropped him, so I grabbed him on the assumption I could get one good week out of him. If I get the one good week I will be happy. if that one good week turns into 2? even better.

if they sit him there is the risk he has a tantrum and demands a trade. normally I wouldnt be all that concerned about this, but if hes demanding a trade the perception is that the team is dealing from a position of weakness. I'd rather do what I can to keep him happy. if you plan to keep him, you want him happy anyways. if you dont plan to keep him you dont want him to be a distraction. so you do what you can to keep him happy while shopping him around.

Detroit will score enough points that they wont be able to run the conservative offense like they did against the Jets. this is one of those games where if they dont score 30 points, they likely dont win. I like those kind of games. wide open offense on both sides. lots of points. Fantasy gold

agreed. what you get with watson this year should be viewed as pretty close to Kyler's floor. his ceiling is high but given time off his chances of hitting his ceiling is likely low. hes a million dollar talent with a 10 cent head. but the pressure of being an NFL starter has not been weighing on him as hes been rehabbing his injury so this wont likely be a factor for him (not yet anyways)

hes got a lot of rust to shake off. I wouldnt expect much in his first game back. I could be wrong. hes talented. but given the time away from the game it may be a tall order to expect him to be in mid season form.

well I watched the last chargers game. I think they knew the key is to not beat themselves. They got up 2 TD early in the game and ran a conservative game plan and made sure they didnt turn the ball over to give them a shot. good strategy to win the game. but not so good for your fantasy team.

no starting him against the Browns is risky. sure the O line in Baltimore is good, but the D line in Cleveland is also good. possibly better than the Baltimore O line. I acknowledge until they play you dont know for sure, but this is a risky play if you actually have other good options. if you dont have good options, you have nothing to lose.

the conversation continues with other options because what if someone already has the guy rostered? I like having 2 or 3 options to choose from. I lost waller and in my league the TE pickings is quite slim. I'm streaming and playing matchups. so far with some success.

when you have the number of injuries the team has had this year its gonna be a mess no matter how good the team is. this season has been particularly brutal for injuries. moreso than usual. and the Giants have been hit hard from the look of it. Granted they were not playing overly well before the injuries but they did look like they might be on the verge of rounding the corner. But their season is done. I dont see a way forward for them now. Not this year anyhow.
