I think all the rookie contracts have i ncentives in there. and if 1000 yards is one of them (pretty sure it would be) then he will play when he is able. the only way he doesnt is if the team tells him they will pay it out anyway. Even then. for some players that 1000 yard mark is a badge of pride. he likely wants to hit it anyway

true but Dowdles huge performances were against terrible Run Defenses. at the time the boys and the phins were getting absolutely GASHED on the ground. its the RB who performs against a good D that makes the difference to the bottom line. since those two games its been meh. one solid game vs Green Bay and the rest less than 80 yards and YPC varied some. but he had some reasonably ineffective games in there. Chubba admittedly hasnt been much better. last year he was a volume based fantasy player and he was ok. but we are in a situation where this could easily be a timeshare where they go with the hot hand. only thing Rico has going for him is those 2 amazing games. but arguably nobody was gameplanning for him. now that defenses are aware of what he does, they have adapted and his stats are now more in line with Chubbas.

in my league you get 3 points for all FG but if the FG is more than 50 you get 6 points. its a bit overvalued but those long ball kickers become valuable in this format. I'm sure each league has their own rules but I am thinking if its over 50 you get 4 points and over 60 you get 6 points.

yes, thats why they are calling him a Diva. more interested in their own stats and interests than that of the team. dont get me wrong, players like that can be useful but they tend to wear out their welcome over time.

agreed. you cant cut him. I got him in round 1 of a redraft league I was in. worked well early in the year but not so good since. once AJ started complaining about his lack of use in the offense its like the offense tried to flip back to a gameplan that throws the ball more and Sequon has sort of been the forgotten man to some extent. I do think once the chips are down it will be the run game once again. but that wont help us for fantasy.

well, I'm not surprised about Kelce. Look at how old the guy is. historically most TE dont play this late into their career. Most are done by the age of 30. a handful play to 31 or 32. dude has had the longest career for a TE in history with the possible exception of Tony Gonzalez hes earned the right to slow down a bit.

you are not wrong. The bears clearly won the battle at the Line of Scrimmage today. and thats a battle the Eagles normally win. That was the story of the day (in my opinion) given how bad the bears O line was last year, I'm a bit surprised they have been this good. I know they made moves, and drafted players, but those moves dont usually pan out this quickly. its usually like a 2 year process to turn things around to this extent. and thats assuming the team knows what they are doing. (not always a good assumption)

Barkley was plenty good last year. even if he craps the bed from here on out, it was still a good move for philly. they got a SB out of it.

While it does look like the bears are protecting Caleb somewhat with conservative play calling, I dont mind that. at the end of the day, Caleb wasnt awesome but he was good when he needed to be. and in a matchup against a good team like the Eagles, that means a lot. even if the game wasnt all that good statistically.

the real story is the Bears O line dominated. Thats hard to do against Philly. most games philly wins the LOS battle and they lost it today. clearly when the dont win that battle they struggle and it showed today.

well, this was a pretty good litmus test for the bears. I know it wasnt pretty for Caleb but he also found a way to win. Philly is a good team and the bears found a way to beat them.

well, it looks like the bears are dominating the LOS battle. (at least a lot of the time) thats not everything, but it sure is a significant advantage.

wow that was a horrible time to blow an extra point. Nice work Jake Elliott

I get it. but up until a minute ago it looked like you were bang on with that comment.

KC has a chance. they had a fantastic regular season last year. but I dont know what happened against the boys last night..... I was unable to watch but it seemed..... bad

a lot of the injuries that ravaged that defense are now resolved as the injured players are back in the lineup. you may have noticed that the Baltimore D has firmed up the last couple of weeks. I wouldnt say they are shaky any longer. maybe more in the average range. beatable but not soft.

in superflex, any QB who is starting has value. so for that, you've already done well. as we are past the trade deadline, yeah, he needs to hold the job until the offseason. good news for you: the bar is pretty low in Cleveland. the main competition hasnt even been able to consistently throw for 200 yards. (he did it once in like 5 or 6 games) so if he can do better than that and not shoot his mouth off too much to get himself in trouble, the job could very well become his.

I think it was potentially his if Kamara got traded. and I think they did want to trade him but maybe couldnt find anyone willing to pay enough. If Kamara is out a while yeah, I think it is his. but if Kamara returns, it could be a time share situation but they may give him the start for the last week or two of the season just to see what they have in him. if moving on from kamara you need to know if his replacement is already on the roster.

I tried to pick him up but someone beat me to it.

I suppose it really depends on what you trade him away for. there is a point where the price is high enough to trade almost anyone. and if someone is high on the player an overpay isnt out of the question even if you think the player has the potential to get better, the overpay basically locks in your appreciation on the player. and if you have needs elsewhere in the lineup that are now being met as a result of the deal, yeah you make the trade. what you dont do is sell him for a bargain.

given the guys injury history and he was out much of pre season I think people were right to be wary of the guy. hed had more unhealthy years than healthy ones in recent years.

well, Mac Jones has looked better so far this year. though when you have a year thats broken with injury to the extent it has been, its sometimes hard to get back on track.

looks like you were right. I'm amazed. usually when the QB throws 3 early game INT its a blowout loss. San Fran is actually winning despite this. granted... the game is not over. but still......

Iosivas: 4 catches 61 yards. in PPR thats a 10 point game. solid for a waiver wire pickup

3 catches 74 yards and a TD. not fantastic in the sense he only had 3 catches..... but also... not bad.
