    Early keeper advice

    Two options I see... win now or rebuild. Win now option is easy, since you can keep 3 of those 4 guys, Thielen is the guy you don't keep as he has the lowest ceiling. Here's the thing, the rebuild option Lamar Jackson is a lot like Michael Vick, he's a runner, not a thrower. Runners get hurt more often than throwers, as we've seen with Jackson the last 2 years, he's an example of this. How many games is he going to play this year? Henry had another high use season totaling over 380 touches again... two years ago he had 390 and missed half the following season. Also, he turns 30 in January. Yeah, I know, that's after the season, but still... for RB's, the magic number seems to be age 28. Seattle just spent a 2nd round pick on a RB who at worst, may be a quality 3rd down back. I say "at worst", because that only affects Walker's receiving numbers and not both, rushing and passing. I like Walker, I have him in my keeper league and I'm certainly entertaining the idea of trading him. Pitts, I see his situation like I do Pittman and Dotson, as the only real option on a team who doesn't have a reliable QB. Sure, all 3 are talented and could put up good numbers by seasons end. The thing is, the sum may look better than the parts. All 3 may have 3 or 4 big games where they get like 7 receptions for 140 yards and 1 or 2 scores... while the other 13 or 14 games are sitting at 4 receptions for 50 yards. When you look at the final numbers, you may 75 receptions for 1100 yards and 8 TD's and say, "nice season", but when you look at your fantasy totals, you see 7, 9, 28, 6, 8, 7, 5, 31, 10, 7, 9, 7, 27, blah, blah, blah. In a 12-team league, you may be ok with 3 starters like that every week, but I don't think I would be. Higgins, a great player, is limited by Chase. In the 4 games Chase missed, Higgins averaged over 19 fpg, but only 13 when they were both on the field. Sure, 13 is a good number if he's your WR2, but not WR1. To note, Higgins is in a contract year, so it's possible that he gets a big payday after the season to be a one, somewhere else... like New England. If that happens, you have another Pitts/Pittman/Dotson on your hands. Cincy could tag or re-sign him... but that means you still have a WR2 who's your WR1. Personally, I'd take the win now option and try and get a whole bunch of low floor veterans while everyone else takes high ceiling young players. In a league with 12 teams and 8 keepers, I'd imaging that the draft board will be filled with the 1 and 2 year high ceiling guys. I'd say to try and win now with the group you have, hope they kill it, and trade them next year.
  3. Don't forget, it'll be Republicans' fault too.
  4. The reason for this is because it's what the politicians do. It's a trickle down affect. It's the reason why NO ONE should trust the government or the media on anything. Each side might have the right course of action on certain items... the problem is that we can't vote for specifics, just the person. For example, I'm fine with making abortion 100% up to the woman as long as she's going to a doctor (not some government agency like Planned Parenthood), and paying for it herself... or having her insurance cover it. BUT, the Democrats won't go for that because they have to keep the women dependent on the government to fund this because they need women to be victims of the patriarchy, and so that they keep them voting for Democrats. Republican's won't go for it either, because they want to take the approach of "faux moral superiority". There's a legit middle ground on the subject, but neither side wants to give in because they don't want to lose their base. When someone like Tim says that it's bad to distrust the media, he's helping the problem. Every media outlet picks sides. They're going to give you their side of the issue and demonize the other. There is no such thing as a impartial/unbias media outlet anymore. People are a more interactive than passive... they're almost forced to be. People don't always have a chance to read a bunch of things out there, so they listen or watch. When they listen or watch, they're getting bias information.
  5. If that's true ("It began with Rush Limbaugh"), then him being right (even though he was a pompous azz), means that it started before him.
  6. I think @edjr had it right in the OP... "Mental Illness". He got the other thing right as well. It's a "look at me" article.

    Sayings that need to die

    They are... the go to now is "White Supremacy".
  8. I'll try to Demsplain for you. Regardless of what ANY data says, any changes we make as a world, will have NO impact on EVOLUTION. HTH
  9. Thanks. Coming from you, of all people, that means a lot.
  10. This is correct. When I hear someone say "Climate Change", I ignore them and walk away laughing at them because their ideas are always so absurd, it's not worth listening too.
  11. I'm just making fun of people like you. I know they aren't going to happen, because people like you are hypocrites.
  12. So, there's no crisis? What's the problem then?
  13. Yup... end of the world is coming. AOC said so.
  14. People are wasting their time on "Crime" / "Not a Crime". They're here ILLEGALLY... 1 of 2 things should happen. 1) Liberals allow them to live in their homes and they are financially responsible for them until they're self sufficient. 2) They get sent back to where they came from. I'm ok with this alternative. For every one person who enters the country illegally, they can automatically become an American citizen, but a liberal MUST BE sent to that immigrants country of origin. They must stay in that country until the immigrant goes back.
  15. Here in South Jersey.... 88 / 76 (30% chance of rain) / 72 / 75 for Fri-Mon this weekend. Should be nice! Must be what San Diego is like 10 months out of the year.
  16. I know, right? The point is to make you carry "reusable" straws with you at all times so that they can limit the production of plastic straws... which they basically give away for free, and make you buy PLASTIC, reusable straws that you have to pay for. Oh, and you'll still throw them out and buy a new one. It has nothing to do with the environment and everything to do with conning people into thinking that it's a major catastrophe to make you spend more money on things you already have access to that's cheaper.

    Shannon Sharpe QUITS Undisputed

    Who even watches that show or ESPN these days?
  18. Funny how Justin has been on this board for the last what, 2, 3, 4 years predicting a Civil or Nuclear War and the leftists give him crap about it... yet, leftists have been clamoring for the last 50+ years about Global Warming/Global Cooling/Climate Change and predicting food source shortages and/or the world ending and we've seen nothing. Remember when leftists told us to stop with the deforestation and move towards plastic? Yeah, good times.
  19. Guns were out and about just firing at will all by themselves, eh? We need to ban those things.

    Al Pacino, 83 to welcome 4th child.

    True. That guarantees her a piece of the pie. If he were to divorce her, she's only getting pennies, but the kid guarantees her financial security.
