    That Green Bay performance was awesome too. Three great games for Rico.

    The main thing for me is just the contract situation. They signed Chuba to a huge extension and Rico to a one year deal. I just think they badly want for Chuba to be ‘the guy’ that they could use week 13 as an excuse to make him the starter again.

    I do think it’ll be pretty close to 50/50. But Chuba will get more high value touches. Just my two cents. 

    I'm sure the contract situations will play a large part.

    chubba is signed 33 mil over 4 years.   so if they want to go with Rico, they need to find someone who will take that contract.  its not like they can just walk from a contract like that.  it will cost them.

    so depending on what Rico is demanding, this may be about money when it comes time to re sign

    in the interim, while Rico has (on average) been better, Chubba is also the incumbent.  some coaches firmly believe that a player shouldnt lose their job due to a short term injury so its not a given they hand it to Rico.    from what I've seen it looks like they are making this into a competition of sorts.    so both players are essentially fighting for this job.

    until the team is decided on who is the better player for them, this could very well be a committee.  possibly for the rest of the season.

    I know a lot of you are wanting to hand this job to Rico based on the big games.   but that is rarely the way these things work.   you also dont see what goes on in practice and how the players get along with their teammates etc.   so there is a bit more to it than JUST this.

    thats the takeaway.   it may seem clear cut to a lot of us, but it may not be to them

    Does he have incentives?

    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

    Hard to imagine that Hubbard takes over, Dowdle has had some really big performances, I think it’s a risk counting on get it right.  

    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.

    I like A.J. Brown, but he didn't look upset, got the impression he'd rather have his 2/132 rather than a win.

    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.

    I wouldn't cut him. But, I definitely would be looking to possibly start another RB; instead of him. I wish I started Aaron Jones from the Vikings this week over Saquon.

    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.

    KC is cooked. Kelce is slower than a turtle. Pacheco bounces around like he won the game every time he gains 1 yard…? 

    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.

    They played conservatively (basically ran the ball all day) because from the first drive it was clear the Bears could run all over the Eagles.  They got the lead they never relinquished and Caleb's arm/legs really weren't needed today.  When both your main RB's get over 100 yards rushing the passing attack can take a day off lol.

    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)

    Uh .. I can think of over 2,000 reasons they were NOT right last season!  (And, he could have gotten the record - he was held out the last week of the regular season.)  Also - remember; last year's OC took the Saints HC job.

    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.

    What da heck his Tony smoking??

    He keeps talking about these two team, whoever wins, can win out. 😂🤣

    Neither Dallas nor KC is gonna win out! Too funny Tony. Too funny.

    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

    Are you rolling with him today against a shaky Balt def, or taking a wait and see approach?  If you are starting him, over who?  I’m starting him over Nix.

    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.

    I plucked him off of the Superflex Dynasty waiver wire a few weeks ago as a hail Mary. 

    I don't need him right now but I'd love for him to be at least serviceable so I can trade him in the off-season. If he can tread water and becomes the Browns starter then he's worth a ton in Superflex. 

      

    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.

    He could easily take over that backfield. Kamara has been terrible. In a normal RB draft he would of certainly been a 3rd round pick at the least. 

    I was fortunate to grab him in 2 dynasty leagues for almost nothing. I'd love to see a big return on my investment. 

    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.

    If you want to lose your league 

    This is EXACTLY what you've been waiting for, it's why you drafted Henderson. You took a late round flyer, struck fantasy gold and then you trade him?? This could be a possible league winning flex/RB2

     

    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.

    I remember many on this board doubting mr Mccaffery, that he wasn’t worthy of a first rd pick, he wouldn’t make it pass game six, the guy is the best ff player.  Silly people 

    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.

    I like purdy because he's competitive scrapy & not scared he has a set of nuts ... He's a local talent here in Des Moines Iowa... But He's way over rated and not fooling me 

    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.

    Before the game started I was saying to myself they have a better chance with Mac Jones

    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......
