Kirk Cousins reunion.

Halloween is just around the corner! Maga hat, some blood, a sign reading "I love the 2nd amendment"... Charlie Kirk costumes!

No loyalty. I had this conversation with my dad once... "If I murdered someone, would ya turn me in?" He said yes. I was like "Seriously? Heck, I'd help you bury Mom."

They said Achilles - not ***officially*** a full tear yet... but I think we know. It's over Johnny. 9,000+ all purpose yards, 73 Tds, 9 seasons. Strangely - never made a pro-bowl. A top fantasy pick for a few years between '21-'23. Thanks for the memories.

"European airlines have been locking c*ckpit doors for nearly a decade... perhaps we should do that too.?." FAA - nah, screw that.

Florida has a law known as the Sunshine Law which requires nearly everything that goes on government record, be available to the public quickly. Slow day in the media... check Florida records and find an odd story. Hence the perception "only in Florida."

Certainly explains Tank's limited usage week 1... trade was pending. Unfortunately, it completely nukes his value. I'll be dropping him Wed morning.

Dolphin fans knew vibes around the team weren't good with disgruntled players demanding trades. Most assumed they'd finish around 0.500 and miss the playoffs again. Of course there was hope the team might be better than assumed, or at least contend for playoffs for part of the season. That was before getting humiliated on opening day. The team is worse than anyone imagined and the coach is officially a clown shoe. Losing to the Colts is one thing, but they didn't even compete. The Colts scored on every possession. How long can a modern NFL gm keep a job without a playoff win, you ask? You'd assume maybe 5 years before getting axed. Possibly 7 years in rare cases if the team consistently made the playoffs. Dolphins gm Grier is entering his 10th season and after a decade on the job without any playoff wins, this is the team he's created. The man still cashes a paycheck. I've obviously been disappointed many times by the Dolphins over the decades, but I'd never reached this level of total disgust. FU to everyone associated with the Dolphins from players, to the coach, to gm, and particularly the owner who purchased the team in 2006 and turned a once proud franchise into a catastrophic embarrassment.

Usually better to get out a year too early, than a year too late. Particularly with a 1st round pick. Before I looked at adp's a few months back for the first time, I would've guessed McCaff's adp to be about mid-3rd rd. I was stunned at the optimism. I guess he reached a level of fantasy greatness nobody can forget and many believe it returns. It'll be interesting to see how this shakes out. The drafters who risked 1st rd picks are the ultimate gamblers - I can respect that. If they all get paid, hats off.

Don't know if I carry the liberal tag.... I usually vote Republican, but my social views are on both sides of the fence depending on what I believe (rather than what a party tells me to think like some folks). That said, I didn't vote for Trump in this term and I consider him the worst President of all time at this point. So I guess I'm qualified to answer: 1) I'm very opposed to immigration. Trump does good in that department. 2) Trump got Europe to get off their lazy butts and spend money on defense instead of "why should we spend? If there's a war - the US will save us." Now it came at the expense of the US looking like unreliable jackasses, but credit where it's due. 3) "Mount McKinley" damnit. And reinstalled Confederate statues. Those never should have changed to begin with. During his first term, I applauded Trump for reducing corporate taxes which economists generally agreed was the right thing for the economy. But no politician had the guts to do it. Trump did. ........................................................ Those things don't even come close to making up for the garbage he does today. Worst President of my lifetime.

Entered last year on IR because of achilles tendinitis - in both feets. Eventually played 3 full games... 10.7 pts, 10.6 pts, 4.8 pts, then sprained mcl in the fourth. All 4 games combined finished with 4.0 ypc, zero Tds, 1.7 ya-contact (career low), and 6.5 ya-catch (career low). Now 29 with a long injury history and in spite of last year's poor stats... he's gonna regain '23 form AND stay healthy.?. Hope springs eternal for some. Not me.

If he makes a deep playoff run, it'll be Rodgers way of saying screw you to Green Bay.

Total gun control.

I'm slightly optimistic on Pollard, but good lord he stinks at the goal line. '24... 2 for 5 '23... 2 for 16 '22... 2 for 7 '21... 1 for 2 '20... 2 for 3 A career 9 for 33. Not good. And might be partly why Titans invested a 6th rd pick in 6'2" 226 lb Kalel Mullings.

Fields, Williams...?. Is this golf where lowest score wins? Goff, Lawrence, Tua, McCarthy, etc. Nah, I'd rather have Caleb Williams off one of the worst Qb performances of all time.

Gotta love Week 1. Full of optimism. Everyone thinks they outsmarted the room and players are fully healthy ready to go. By week 5 half your roster is on the injury report, "gems" turned into worthless bums, and monster points came from bench players. God bless fantasy football. Good luck everyone.

Dak was Qb 20 ppg when he left after Wk 9 last year. He might regain '23 form, but you willing to risk your fantasy life on it? Not me. Parsons leaving is a reflection of the piss-poor operation in Dallas right now... and ain't it good.

I drafted Mahomes in my big money league ... 3rd round. Sounds ridiculous for a guy projected for 5th rd. But 0.5 pt per completion - monumental shift in value. Leagues that don't have that ridiculous scoring format (all of them), I wait til rd 9+- ... Goff, Maye, McCarthy, Lawrence, Tua... take 2 and see which hit. The opportunity cost for the early Qb in normal formats doesn't seem worth it. .......................................... I generally avoid 1st rd Rbs in 12-man leagues as they injure or under-perform more than Wrs. But in 10-man leagues I take more risks because there's more depth. If the #1 goes down, no big deal because you're able to easily load up at that position. If I were in your shoes with the 4th pick in a 10-man FULL PPR ..... I'd be looking for Bijan or Gibbs with that first pick (forget Barkley). Hope one of the top 9 Wrs fall in the 2nd rd (ends with London)... if so take one, if not, pivot to Bucky or Chase. And because the Wrs are still sorta trashy in that early 3rd round... I'd probably just take a 3rd stud Rb to start in flex - James Cook. Get a couple Wrs the next few rounds (Sutton / Ridley / etc.) Back to Rbs while some starters are still available. And eventually think of a Te. And then Qb around 9 or 10.

Brown has the potential to have a decent fantasy season. Not saying he will, but being part of the Chiefs offense with Rice missing time and Kelce slowly decaying - it's possible. The other two are bums.

My league tried the blind bidding system last year - for a 20-year league that never changes anything, I was shocked it got enough votes. Everyone seemed to like it over the old waiver order system, so I doubt we'll ever go back.

I've heard scouts refer to Marks as - a Jack of all trades, master of none. Can catch, but not a dynamic receiver. Can run, but not very dominate. He's just ok at everything. Even if that's true, he only has to beat out old-man Chubb and Pierce, so maybe he's got a shot. I kind of wonder if Pierce isn't the one who surprises... the new coordinator (Caley) reportedly runs a man/gap scheme which Pierce did well in as a rookie. The problem with Pierce has always been "he runs so mean" ... which also translates to "why not try to avoid getting tackled?" In the end it might not matter who totes the rock. Take a gander at where the Texans o-line ranks this year.... I'll give ya hint - it's slightly higher than 33rd.

Think ya nailed it. Dude showed up at OTA's in a walking boot - coach said "he'll be ready for training camp." He wasn't. Missed all of it along with pre-season. Now he's on the non-football injury list. On top of everything - nobody knows exactly what the injury is. I've heard speculation it's likely broken bones... foot or ankle? Nobody knows. Mixon was dragging down the stretch last year, but with the injury and latest news - he's un-draftable in my book. Just hope your opponents are eternal optimists, see the name, and waste a pick.

When I saw that Otton's snap count over the past two years was among the highest among all Te's, I was intrigued. Thought maybe I'd found some hidden gold. Then closer examination... Those "solid numbers last year"... came from three games. Wk 7 (Evans injured early), Wk 8 (Evans out), Wk 9 (Evans out). The other 11 games Otton averaged 6.5 ppg which last year would've been Te 32. According to some articles, the deal with Otton is he's just not a very talented receiver, as partly indicated by his 8 drops last year (highest among Te's). He flashed in those three games because the Bucs were desperate for receiving options and fluke games happen. But you don't want to rely on Otton on a weekly basis.

I think there's a chance broke-back Stafford shuts it down by mid-season... especially if the Rams get off to a slow start. Puka himself has his own injury history to worry about. And Nabers.... the bad toe + Wilson (who only throws moon balls) is worrisome. I'll hold my nose and take Nico (Texans o-line is atrocious and they did nothing to fix it), but I'd rather have BTJ and St. Brown. BTJ with Coen... a fantasy dream. St. Brown is what he always is: 140-160 targets of reliable gold.
