very long. butt I'll give credit where credit is due. there are not a lot of QB capable of winning a football game with only 111 yards passing but Dart Did it. I'd say the value of his WR isnt gonna be worth much in fantasy but Dart will put up the rush yards you want to see.

they are for the top 3 or 4 kickers my league doubles the point total for a FG if its 50+ so I have Aubrey who (at times) has been a game changer for me. he cost me an extra dollar at auction but fully worth the money for the value add he has given me. I've had him the last 3 years and there have been games he has won for me almost singlehandedly. when you can get a kicker that can do that a couple times a year, you pay for that kicker.

it was a huge $ league, but thats ok. its only one week. If I lose (and I probably will) I will be at 2-2. it shouldnt ruin my season. I still have Mixon coming back from injury at some point (hopefully) and Rice coming back from suspension in a couple more games. so the hardest part of my schedule is mostly over and I'm not behind the 8 ball at this point. that's all I really wanted was to survive the first couple of weeks without getting crushed.

in the end it doesnt matter. I had him in my starting lineup. and I'm sure a few others did too. the european games are a little different as the game start times are a lot different due to the time change. so it mucks everything up. you always need to be more careful with the timelines of when they announce a player can or cannot play. but being sick, I didnt really worry about it all that much. I was in bed early, and work up late. it was glorious to get that long of a sleep. especially since there are kids in the house who usually wake me early but didnt because their mother took steps to prevent that from happening. either way, the week is a writeoff. nothing has gone right for me so maybe it was meant to be.

usually when someone spends that kind of draft capital in a player, they wont sell low. the right thing to do is hold out and hope for a return to productivity. I looked and it has been noted that he has been on the injury report the last couple of weeks, so I think he has an injury that maybe isnt bad enough to keep him out of the lineup but is bad enough that it hurts his productivity. so there may be a buy low possibility here. the big thing is timing it right. you want to buy at the bottom. if he hasnt hit bottom yet that cuts into your profitability. though honestly hes gotta be close to bottom. last 2 weeks have not been very good at all.

Hes been good so far. Lots to like here. Ditto for Keenan Allen. McConkey owners cant be happy with this

dude I've been sick. perhaps it was announced late. I've not been in great shape and largely not been paying attention to much. partly my own fault I admit, but when youre sick you're sick. and sometimes things just dont go the way you want when you are sick. Perhaps I should spend more time praying to my lord and saviour the flying Spaghetti Monster.

damn. been sick in bed and slept in and was unable to switch him out in my one big money league.....

in garbage time.... yes, the slot WR will be the play the chargers will give away. and that may even be the case the whole game. but the coach is tricky. he will let the QB see that the play with the WR is there for a couple of plays and then take it away at a time when least expected with a possible INT. the big unknown is how observant Dart will be. what we dont know is how NFL ready he actually is. only the coaches know this. I'm honestly more concerned about the line play. everything really depends on it. if they dont give Dart time, the deep ball may not be there. You do need to hold the ball a little longer when throwing a deep pass or a deep cross. I'd expect to see more short passing if the line cannot hold up. and you are right. that hurts Nabers. He can run those shorter routes. Hes fully capable.... but its the big plays that really make him a fantasy stud.

100% thats one of the luck factors in fantasy. But that is how they look at it.

agreed also agreed. Interestingly I was recently offered Judkins and Jeudy for Warren and Rice in a standard league trade. we are allowed to keep 3, and Rice and Judkins both have an outside chance of being a keeper. I am obviously not making THAT deal. Rice is worth more than THAT. but as a rookie Rice got over 900 yards receiving. if he hadnt had a big injury last year he was on pace for about 1200 yards. I know its a small sample size of only 4 games, but its enough to make me feel that his rookie year was not a fluke. Not a lot of WR come out and have that kind of rookie season. It does happen, and when it does, you usually have a player.

yes, it would (at least for redraft) St Brown will almost certainly (barring injury) out produce Jefferson this year.

Deebo is also injury prone. it seems like he misses a couple games every year. granted its usually only a couple. so maybe a bit less risky as far as players prone to injury

there is no doubt that Jefferson is the best player. But Jefferson has a QB who likely wont be able to get him the ball. in redraft that makes him less valuable. This is a redraft league. if it was keeper/Dynasty you'd make that deal to get Jefferson. every time. Jefferson is on pace to get a bit more than 1000 yards. by his standards thats not very good. Hes playing like a WR2. not his fault. his rookie QB JJ McCarthy is stinking it up. So his performance outlook this year is not all that good. like I said, it might get a bit better with Wentz at QB while McCarthy is out......but not THAT much better. (and possibly worse)

too late. he needed to play like that the whole game. if he does that, they win every time. I think thats the maddening thing. he shows flashes that make you think he can be really good, and then he will turn around and stink the joint out on the next few series. Though he has performed well under other coaches earlier in his career... Maybe the issue is coaching. any thoughts on that?

this is the correct answer. I want no part of Jefferson with JJ McCarthy as his starter. I know Wentz is in there now, so it will be a bit better. but not better enough.

never bench your studs Nabers put up decent numbers even with this crappy O line. Dart is in, and most QB who want to keep their job will keep feeding the #1 WR. in this scenario its usually the #2 and #3 WR who experience a serious dropoff in production. Dont get me wrong this will affect Nabers too, but the difference wont be quite as large as the difference with the others

i think he takes a significant chunk. but the overall pie will be bigger because the offense as a whole will be better.

I thought they already did that on the longer field goals. as those are more line drives they are easier to block than the short ones because they dont get as much height when crossing the LOS.

this is the last of the difficult games for the baltimore D. I would not play them this week if I had the ability to avoid it. Mahomes doesnt turn the ball over a whole lot and he doesnt usually take sacks. That doesnt leave lots of opportunity for points. the situation was the same for Buffalo. while mahomes isnt Josh Allen, hes the same type of QB. hard to tackle. doesnt usually make stupid plays with the ball. after this game, it should be clear sailing for the baltimore D. Just not this week.

I think its gonna be matchup dependant. There will still be some matchups against weaker run defenses where he will be playable. and none of the other RB are good enough that I'd say they are matchup proof.

yeah, but given the nature of the Injury (Lis Franc) he will never be the same. he may need to switch to guard due to the injury. depends of course on the nature of the Lis Franc but there are literally dozons of tendons, ligaments and bones in the lis franc area and you cant operate on one without affecting the others. in all likelyhood he wont be able to push off with power from that leg (at least not the way he used to) and certain moves to defend he will no longer be able to pull off and unless the specifics of the injury are publicized (and they wont be) we have no clue how this will likely affect his play. I wouldnt count much on him. There is at least a 50% chance his career is ruined. The Lis Franc is a horrible injury. worse than a torn ACL. The recovery rate isnt all that good if they have to operate on it.

not sure what to say. I saw some tape where he was doing a crossing route and the ball was about three and a half feet behind him. It looked like an INT. the DB thought it was. the DB went for the catch, and Harrison reached out an arm and brought it in and he didnt even need to slow down. Because the DB was so sure he had the INT he was not in position to make a tackle so Harrison got a big play. One of the more impressive plays i've seen. those types of plays dont happen with subpar talent. though admittedly maybe the pass looked too easy and he lost focus. Not sure what is happening here. I bought in thinking Harrison was gonna have a good second year. He was my WR2. Still holding. Im not giving up on the kid because I KNOW the talent is there.
