    That fumble was BS call.  The only way his shin/lower leg wasn't down was if it bent unnaturally up at a right angle to his trapped sideways foot.  I was a bit surprised he came back on the field after that.   

    if he hurt his knee, maybe it was bent unnaturally.

    just joking (mostly)

    Totally agree that Lawrence isn’t good.  Especially looking at his week one stats:  61.29% completion rate for 178 yards and 1 TD.  I have to admit that I didn’t realize how bad that was until I found the next closest week 1 passing stats to his stats.  61.54% completion rate for only 80 yards more, and 1 TD.  I’d prefer not to call out another overrated QB by name because I don’t think that would be fair to Patrick Mahomes.

    OOPS, did I just accidentally say his name?

    its almost like Mahomes heard you and decided to play....  he blew the doors off this week fantasy wise.

    No true MAGA patriot would commit a crime against Christians.  Earlier removed posts showed a Stop sign next to a Trump sign on his fence.  
     

    I dont believe that for a minute

    you dont know his motovations.   MAGA is one of many factors likely at play here.

    for all we know his ex wife is part of the congregation or there is something wrong in his life he for some reason blames on the church.

    or hes just mentally ill

    but there are MAGA people out there who are not religious.   I doubt that made him any less MAGA if he was one of those.

    either way,  if you are gonna say that being MAGA overrides everything, you likely are not living in the real world.   There is more to life than politics my friend.   And arguably politics is maybe the worst thing to focus ones life on because politics sometimes take you in a direction you would never think about going before you got involved in politics.

    Yeah, I don't understand this either. They barely target him anymore. But when they do he makes a play. 

    Blows my mind 

    I saw some chatter last week about how AJ and hurts had a bit of a spat last year and his production dipped for a couple games before rebounding

    makes me wonder if they never really buried it.

    I could see him becoming a malcontent very quickly if he doesnt get some love in the pass game.

    Dart looked pretty good, makes good decisions for a rook. His legs are a weapon. Unfortunately, without Nabers it will be a long season...

    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.

    Crazy how this 50 yarders are just gimmes now.

    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.

    Rest is the best way to get over whatever you have. Unless you're playing in a huge $ league, it's just water under the bridge.  

    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.

    After week one, when Herbert tossed three tds, and McConkey didn’t have any of them, that’s when they should have been concern, even thinking about trading high, now concern is over, he’s a bust, I’ll buy low if the owners in my two leagues want to trade.  

    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.

    If he is “fool’s gold”, then consider me a fool.  Started him today and pleased with the line so far.  

    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.

    The talking heads on NFL network liked Robinson to bounce back

    quoting chargers rank low vs slot WRs and easy dump offs for a rookie and lots of passing playing from behind

    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.

    I remember having this same discussion 15 years ago.

    It's standard to score it that way.  Once the defensive player possesses the ball, the defense becomes the offense and the offensive players that turned it over become the defense.  

    100%

    thats one of the luck factors in fantasy. 

    But that is how they look at it.

    Rice is the one to own 

    agreed

    When he gets back from suspension.  Worthy until then.

    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.

    Would it be different if it was St. Brown instead of Jefferson?

    St. Brown and Henderson or Henry and Harrison

    yes, it would (at least for redraft)

    St Brown will almost certainly (barring injury) out produce Jefferson this year.

    ... and now that he is out for a few weeks at least due to his hold out and being on the older side... thats why he was a DND for me. Sucks for Wash.. but good if you're Debo owner (which i am ) 

    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

    Whoever has Jefferson is giving up the best player in the deal. 

    The deal is really pretty close because while Jefferson to Harrison is a big downgrade...Henry to Henderson is a big upgrade.

    A lot of it depends on what else you have on your roster at the running back and wide receiver positions. 

    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)

    Looked pretty good to me when it counted…

    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?

    Henry/harrison

    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.

    Question is .. what do you do with Malic Neighbors... is he still a must start this week?  I am worried about him in my suicide ffball league

    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

    Due to all the recent blocked field goals lately, is it an option to move the holder back an additional 3 to 5 yards? It would be a longer kick, but more likely to not get blocked especially in game winning kick situations.

    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.
