I'll still stand by my assessment. He's good, so he'll have a good/great game from time to time. He's not a guy who's QB proof. He needs a good QB to be effective. Nothing wrong with that as at least he can be good. There's a lot of guys that no matter how good or great their QB is, they still can't be good... see MVS, Juju, Gabe Davis, as examples.

I'd do it.

I firmly believe that LBJ was behind everything involving JFK being killed.

We don't want to make the libby's cry, so you may want to be specific on this. Was Trump actually injured in the second attempt?

Pretty sure that was a joke.

Different Tampa era. More like Ryan Fitzpatrick circa 2018. The Panthers aren't a good team. They'll get a short burst of energy and hope, but overall, the team isn't that good and the coaching isn't there.

IF Trump gets 25-30% of the black vote and wins the election because he won a state or two he's not expected to, like NY or IL for example, I guarantee you that in the 2028 elections reparations will 100% be at the forefront. Liberals need to enslave the black vote, it's paramount to their future.

I agree, it's the good and bad luck of it all. Since the internet has become common place, as well as YouTube, podcasts, satellite radio, etc., the amount of information regarding fantasy football is not only everywhere, it's free and or/cheap. On top of that, there are pay websites that somehow make a lot of money for concocting information that is portrayed as "game changing" in the fantasy world, but is still relatively common place. In the end, if you are playing in a league where everyone is on the same level as you, luck (good and bad), are the only separators of results. I'm in 3 leagues... in 2 leagues, I have a LOT of injuries and not enough roster spots or IR spots to really handle things the best. I'm not dropping someone like Tee Higgins for a spot fill that probably won't be a difference maker. So, I'll start someone like Javonte Williams and hope for the best. I'd rather start off 1-2 or 0-3 knowing I'm only a little health away from making a run. It's still early, I'm not going to try to address right now and screw myself of any future hope. All you have to do is make the playoffs. In one of my leagues, I've been fortunate to have no real injury issues (knock on wood). I've been starting Stroud, Mayfield, J. Taylor, Barkley, R. Rice, Godwin, Chase or R. White, and TE, K, & DE of the day (Engram is my only injury issue). I'm the top scoring team in the league and 3-0. It's all luck. Anyone tell you otherwise, they're trying to either boast about how great they are or make an excuse on the rules to justify why their team isn't good... yet maintain how great they are at fantasy football. Just try to migrate through injuries to give you the best chance to win now without selling out the future. If it works out, great. If it doesn't, it's not the end of the world, there's still next year. Use this year as a learning experience on ways to work around adversity and challenge yourself to come up with more clever ways to make things work. Even if you have to lose a trade to upgrade you're team, do it. If you have 3 good receivers, try buying quantity with quality to make another position better. If the best RB on your team or waivers is Rico Dowdle, and you need an RB, try trading Justin Jefferson for Drake London and Devin Singletary and cut Dowdle. Yeah, your WR's might take a hit, but you've upgraded your RB and as time goes, London could pick up and still be WR1 for you, the rest of the way.

It's only 3 weeks. I don't think we've really seen much of anyone to say we know who these guys are. Seriously, look at the TE position, outside of Bowers, every other TE is droppable. LOL Geodert, had a 27 point game, the other 2, he totaled 14. The only reason he even got 27 was because Brown was out. Kmet is no different... 25 points this week, only 8 the first 2 weeks combined. LaPorta wasn't doing anything before he got hurt. He had 12 total points in the first 2 games. Kelce doesn't even have 70 total yards yet.

Week 1, on 12 touches, Elliott had 12.9 ppr points, so about 1 point per touch. For the season, he's averaging 0.846 points per touch. Jahmyr Gibbs is RB12 right now (in ppr), averaging 1 point per touch. Maybe if Dallas didn't get blown out W2 and getting blown out W3, Elliott could still be getting about a point per touch. Week 1, he was RB24. I don't think anyone said he'd be an RB2, I believe everyone was of the mindset that he'd be an RB3/4. Over 3 games, averaging about .85 points per touch seems like a guy who'd get about 10-12 points a week which falls into the RB3/RB4 range. In PPR leagues, he's RB41, which means that if you're in a 12 team league, there's a very high chance that the RB you pick up will be worse than him.

Ok.

Basically Reed for Shaheed because Steele has no value in any format. I'd still do that deal... especially on the off chance that Steele actually becomes something.

Let's be honest here, the players are just as culpable in that as the teams. Because players get hurt, the team needs to prepare for that possibility and the backups are just hoping to get on the field and prove their abilities. There are plenty of players who will lie to get on the field so that they don't lose their job. Also, the players don't really care about "player safety". If they did, then they'd tell the owners that they don't want Thursday night games. But they don't because they want the money more than they want the "safety". The ONLY thing the players want when they push the "player safety" narrative, is to con rubes into having sympathy for them.

You said the reason in the second line. I told people in my family/friends league last year before our draft that Lawrence was a bust, that he sucked. They all gave me the excuse of Urban Meyer. I said, well then you guys should be lining up to take him early (it's a 2 QB league). Last year, 8 QB's were kept, Lawrence was the 7th QB drafted. This year, I asked if anyone realized I was right, they all said no and that he played well last year. LOL, imagine that. I actually drafted Lawrence as my 3rd QB, he was the 24th QB off the board (including keepers)! When I asked again, they all said I got a steal. Here's the funny thing. The day after the draft, I tried to trade him because I messed up not realizing he and Burrow (my QB2), had the same bye week. I couldn't trade him for Brock Purdy, Aaron Rodgers, Geno Smith, Matt Stafford, OR, Justin Herbert. I ended up getting Mayfield. How funny is that? They still won't admit I was right about him. When people make claims of how great someone will be and are wrong, they won't admit it unless they're on an island. The vast majority of people were on the Lawrence bandwagon so they figure if they all just slowly walk away, no one will realize it. At best, he's around league average, but no one will cop to it. They just have excuses.

Every politician is the same.

My brother is a retired cop. He said illegal immigrants had unregistered... out of state, cars about 99% of the time.

LOL, yeah, that's the reason.

No one puts detail out there, at any level because there will be a portion that love it, a portion that hate it, and a portion that will be indifferent. The portion that is indifferent will be swayed by the best marketing campaign from the media. A politicians #1 goal is to get elected. Their #2 goal is to get re-elected. Their #3 goal is to get re-re-elected. At no point do any of them care about the actual position they hold. They're all azzhats, the Democrats are just worse and the media is on it all, so they're of no value.

LOL, it doesn't matter HOW Trump says it, the Democrats will cut and paste his words and the MSM will go along with it. They did it with "good people on both sides", they're doing it now with "bloodbath" and "dictator", and you will believe them.

Typo issue, sorry... DACA. I meant to keep it on topic.

Armed forces, being military? I didn't say that. I said government agents, meaning, ICE. Don't have to get it through Congress, just do what Obama did with the ACA, ignore the rule of law and E.O. it and done. Why's it ok for Obama but not Trump? Let me guess, "it's (D)ifferent", right?

Me either. Never had the desire to watch it.
