I love the Bengals tonight 

[Nomad99 801]

Have a feeling I should play Warren over Jeanty in my guillotine leage but just can't bring myself to do it...

[gcmmidwest 151]

What about the over under 44.5 ?

[gcmmidwest 151]

I like Pittsburgh money line

Excluding injured players (& WRs who depended on injured QBs), Chase Brown might be the biggest bust of this season

Wonder how many people had Brown on the bench tonight.  He is going off so far.

[Drogon 22]

Shootout brewing....

[Mike FF Today 748]

Chase Brown hasn’t topped 47 rushing yards in any game this season until tonight (74).

In just the 1st half.

All Flacco does is throw to Chase it’s glorious.

Higgins getting some love from Flacco too. 3-54 and a tuddy at halftime.

Joe Focking Flacco, Chasing the Grim Reaper 

[Chickie 79]

Flacco having his way with the Pittsburgh Defense which has no answer for Chase.

[kutulu 1,701]

The Bengal Bump 

[Chickie 79]

Steel Curtain, huh?

[Mike FF Today 748]

Aaron Rodgers: 244-4-2

[Mike FF Today 748]

Ja’Marr Chase: 16-162-1 on 23 targets

[Law 244]

Steelers being Steelers. Always finding a way to Tomlin up here and there. Perpetual 9-8,10-7 seasons and a first round exit. Awesome.

I sat him for Mason. Excited to see that Brown might not be totally dead yet

He only had 12 points in PPR

[Law 244]

It's great to know you lost after just TNF. Thanks Chase!

38 points in PPR, yikes. 

[Drogon 22]

I just hope I don't lose this week because Tee decided to give himself up at the 5-yard line instead of scoring (he might have been tackled before he got in but I think his momentum would have got him in).  It was the right decision game-wise just not fantasy-wise (of course).

That's his best without Burrow, killing me all season.  Good to see he was in there in RedZone, Perine mostly in for blocking on passing downs.  Tuddys are coming. 

With Flacco, they can't stack the box, like Browning.  I'm starting Brown going forward, I'm 0-6.

[weepaws 3,310]

Bengals did a good job in keeping Chase happy, by bringing Flacco onboard, and FF Chase owners.  Amen. 

[Grace Under Pressure 156]

Not much attention on Rodgers from a fantasy perspective. Easily outscored a lot of top ranked QBs this week. Looking to start him over Caleb Williams easily in Week 8. Most sites had those two ranked 10 spots apart for Week 7. That script is going to flip this week imo.

Caleb Williams is QB 12 in Fantasy and Rogers is QB14 in Fantasy. 

I'll take Williams 10 out of 10 times on upside alone. 

[Grace Under Pressure 156]

That's interesting. In my leagues, QBs typically get points for yards passing, yards running, and TDs. There's no category for "upside". Therefore, it's better to start the guys who actually score more points. So next week, if Aaron Rodgers is predicted to get more points than Caleb, which I think will flip to Rodgers favor on the prediction sites like this one, I'll probably look to start Rodgers over Caleb this week, because Rodgers will score more points. 

How does a league give points for "upside"?

Starting out 0- past weekend , so maybe, 9 out of 9 times.

I would just start whoever you think will score more points that week. I thought Justin Jefferson would get more points than Chris Olave and Travis Hunter this week; but I was wrong. That's okay with me; can't always be right.
