shutdown 40 Posted October 22, 2019 At this point I've given up even thinking of starting him. And this is mostly on the coaches. 7 running plays in a game between 2 elite defenses? You're playing the saints who are down 3 key offensive players and your strategy is to try to let Mitchell win the game? Honestly I just think Mitchell is such a boat anchor he's taking the whole ship down with him. The OL has issues. I'm not sure if any of the RB's are good, but at this point you need to treat Mitchell like a game manager and run the ball and play defense. I can only imagine the despair of Bears fans having to watch Mitchell play and realize they could have had Watson or Mahomes. This is going to go down historically with the Portland Trailblazers taking Sam Bowie over Micheal Jordan. When they are putting Mahomes in the HOF, the answer to the trivia question will be Mitchell. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He will get another qb to work with and the offense will still be OK at best. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Fortunately, like yours I assume, my fantasy teams are doing quite well, tyvm. 5-for-5 this past week, as a matter of fact. First place in my division in all but one league....with a 5-2 record in that one. Also, as I think you probably know, I have no "This will be the week" mentality.....and DMont rode the pine last week. FF leagues are won by nimbleness, in-season management, and calculated risks (and a lot of luck, of course). So, if the best part of our wager is watching me ruin my FF teams and throwing a guy in the lineup out of loyalty....must suck to be you. But, yes, DMont gets reinserted this week because I like the matchup and believe he has talent if utilized correctly. Not overly confident because I don't have the same belief about his coach or QB. However, those factors matter not in the realm of a square bet....and I am a man of my word when it comes to those. Win some and lose some....and although this one is leaning hard towards the lose column, it ain't over quite yet. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I picked up Murray and started him in one league--partly because my RB3 (Chris Thompson) was injured, partly because I don't like where things are headed with my RB4 (Damien Williams), and mostly because my opponent's roster featured Alvin Kamara and I wanted to twist the knife a little. As it turned out, I won by 83.4 points anyway, so it was kind of a moot point, but still a plus going forward for a few more weeks, hopefully. P.S. Montgomery will still suck.

For the life of me, even in short-bench leagues, I cannot envision a scenario where I would not have my top 3 RB draft pick handcuffed with a RB as capable as Lat. Your opponent earned that one.... However, also hard to imagine a league in which Lat was floating around as a free agent? He has been owned since the draft in all my leagues. I will spare you the condescending 8-man league comment....but does it have weird roster settings, or something? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If Nagy is going to throw the ball 90% of the time, that renders any Bears RB useless. And it wasn't all game script, the bears were within 9 point for most of the 3rd quarter.

nobody 2,572 Posted October 25, 2019 With the injuries to Thielen and now Keenan Allen popping up with a hamstring, I'm pretty screwed at wide receiver as I was hoarding runningbacks trying to cover for Saquon being out and Monty's terribleness. Just dropped David Montgomery for Valdes-Scantling in case Keenan doesn't play. Kept Shady McCoy, Jordan Howard, Latavious Murray, and even Jamaal Williams over him.

xxxdog 23 Posted October 27, 2019 Lot of buzz in the windy city for a more controlled running game, hunch Montgomery shows up in fantasy stats...If he produces minor production today, time to get rid of him, its now or never against a banged up Charger team......

BufordT 428 Posted October 27, 2019 Idk. He looks good to me. No reason he shouldn't be getting 15-20 (or more) touches a game. Nagy needs to realize that Cohen is a 3rd down/2 minute offense type of RB. Also, lol at Nagy for losing yardage on a windy day to setup the game winning FG.

LoOnAtIk 75 Posted October 28, 2019 I know the recurring topic here is that Nagy is an idiot and Montgomery’s production (or lack thereof) could be blamed on Nagy.... But what the heck was that for clock management? 43 seconds left and you kneel to run out the clock to set up a 41 yard field goal? In windy Chicago.... It blows my mind how much these coaches get paid and then for them to show their utter incompetence. Nagy deserves to be fired for this one in my opinion. This loss is squarely on him.

Hawkeye21 2,382 Posted October 28, 2019 Montgomery finally had a great game and showed people what he can do. I don't have high expectations for him the rest of the year though because of the mess the rest of the offense is. Nagy is doing a terrible job coaching this year and the OL is below average.

From week 10 to 16, Chicago will be facing the bottom half (ranking: 30,17,23,30,16,27,29) of the league rushing defense. I actually think he'll have a strong finish.
