    Pick a Flex week #3

    I can also see Mariota locking onto Terry.

    Pick a flex

    PPR Calvin Ridley - highest upside if he starts to click with Ward after facing 2 tough defenses Keenan Allen - most consistency but will Surtain shadow him or Ladd? or nether... Wan'Dale Robinson - ppr cheat code type player, Giants could get down early

    Aaron Jones on waivers

    my first thought is that your RBs are not actually weak. Taylor(handcuffed), Henderson and Judkins is not awful. Basically, you were expecting more from Henderson, as most were, and it turns out this may be Stevensons backfield a little while longer. ... but you drafted Judkins late as a lotto ticket and that looks like it may be a hit. Bad luck with Kittle but I assume your WR's are strong, I assume your first round pick was was JJ/CeeDee/Nabers type. Jones didn't look great before going down. If Mason runs with the job, I don't know that he is someone you will ever feel comfortable starting even as a 1B in the Vikings offense. That said, you can never have enough RB options. Is Jones on waivers or free to add at this point? Can you try to explore a 2 for 1 trade that gets you an upgrade somewhere while also freeing up a roster spot? Tracy and Hunter for something? Not expecting a lot but maybe a slight WR upgrade to Hunter and then you add Jones?

    WR2 = W-Rob over Egbuka; FLEX "Bill" Coskey?

    It sounds like Egbuka may not play so obviously keep an eye on that. Robinson over him anyway

    Etienne and Ladd... do you start a flex for wilson? I think he may have a good game with Tyrod.

    ESPN FF PLATFORM HELP

    the website and app function differently. I believe on the website you have to do as Bills04 mentioned above, by clicking the "manage IR" button. On the app, I think you can simply select the player from bench and the IR spot will show as an option of where to move him.... I think.

    WR2 = W-Rob over Egbuka; FLEX "Bill" Coskey?

    I do like WanDale... I don't care about Boutte's 1 catch, I care about his 1 target last week. Wouldn't start him over Robinson or Egbuka. Sounds like you have Bill set for your flex but I might flex Egbuka over him, until we see how his role shakes out with Ekeler out of the picture. And especially because this is PPR.
  8. I mean, I can't refute any of that because it's your opinion, mostly. Thomas still played well with Lawrence last year even if he produced better with Jones and I did not see any week 1 from them to see why he had 1 catch on like 7 or 8 targets but I did see a lot of the plays from this past week and he looked just awful. If his effort level is down because he feels his QBs effort level is low... I have no idea. Personally I have always felt that Lawrence has the talent and just needed a good and consistent system. The guy came into the league with Urban Meyer in town for focks sake and is now on his 3rd coach. But you may be right about his effort/work ethic. I have no idea there. As for Hunter, I figured he would be better as a full time DB with a sprinkle of offensive plays. I likely fell for them saying he was going to focus on WR during camp. Again, I did not look to draft him in any real leagues but my expectation still was 7-10 touches with some designed screens, short routes, even an outside carry or two.
  9. I do agree that drafting him in a non idp format was probably foolish, depending on when selected. As for Brian Thomas, he was scared going over the middle and his zero effort there directly led to an interception. He also had 3 'drops' on potential scoring plays. One of those admittedly was thrown behind him so i'll blame Lawrence but the other two were lack of concentration/alligator arms. He looked awful out there and showed no ability to win contested catches. Not to defend Lawrence but Thomas has just looked lackadaisical. Also I think people were hoping the Coens offense would find creative ways to get the ball in Hunters hands. I didn't draft him in any real leagues but I believe I did in the June Mock (non PPR) hoping for some designed plays that might result in scores regardless of his overall volume.

    wait, who did the cancelling?

    Justin Fields Out for Week 3

    proceed with caution. could definitely work out but Tyrod is also that kind of guy who might make the most with his opportunity. i like a number of defenses more including seattle, atlanta, indy, green bay, and buffalo if any are available.
  12. It's been 2 weeks... i'm not forecasting greatness but jeez.

    Let's see your FICO credit score

    they are absolutely BS, but I will say it's easier for them (them being the auto loan lender) to repo a tangible item like an RV and Ford F350 so I can sort of understand that aspect. The more ridiculous stuff is having it lowered because you closed/cancelled a card. Or because you don't use enough of your available credit often enough. Like fock, the CC companies want you to use the max and not pay in full every month and never cancel a card you don't need because the perks suck, but why would the credit bureaus want that? All they should care about is your lifelong credit history and how responsible you are with your credit

    811, went down a bit when I opened a new CC 2 months ago which naturally dropped my average age of my accounts.

    ***2026 EdEx Winter Meetings***

    in light of this information I would say start with the sentry in Jan

    ***2026 EdEx Winter Meetings***

    too early for me to think / care. if we are doing 8 events i guess id rather not have a double header. Sentry works if its a decent sized field? or I saw someone mention Fedex first event... I have no idea how many are in the sentry field, I feel like it was more than it used to be? and no idea about which events are "elevated"... St Jude is 70 but no cut so could finish things off with a draft 4 score 3 or even a draft 6 score 3.

    Stock Market bubble - will crash

    the actual announcement doesn't matter. Unless he had announced larger or smaller than expected. .25 was widely expected for the last... month? The markets have been up over that time frame so this was already baked in. You will maybe see the market finish red today and possibly red for the week because this is closer to "buy the rumor sell the news" concept.

    Redneck Rotisserie

    I was interested until i realized it was a mostly AI video. starting with a pin on the map in Canada while talking about redneck towns in America was hoping to see more real images of these places.

    Food is ridiculously expensive, don't you think??

    Well, property management companies are a bit different but Ed is just a landlord. So on one hand, he needs to look at his costs and if he can't charge enough to make a decent profit each month / year, then it's time to sell the property. At the same time, if he only goes by his costs and what he feels like he wants to make and he outprices versus comparable rentals in the area, he will have a harder time getting a tenant and any time the property spends vacant is a total loss for him. So he needs to take it all into consideration. The market around him probably plays a bigger role in his decision.
