…Because I Always Welcome Another Thing to Disappoint Me.
Wait, we’re already rebooting Spiderman again? Oh, hey, quick question, anyone know who sponsored the SNF opening? Was it T-Mobile? Sprint maybe? Also, you should know that Von Miller was jumping with butt-flames before it was hip…
Welcome to what I call “Jay’s Review”… since, you know, I’m Jay, and this is my review of Week 1. Spoilier Alert! (That probably should have gone before the last sentence, but f*ck it, we’re doing it live!) For many of you who’ve been wandering around my Razzballs (haha, get it?) for the last four years, you’ve seen the site go through minute but incremental changes. Kinda like the world in general. So DEEP. And so this season, we’re bringing yet another minute and incremental change… If you hadn’t noticed, Matt Bowe led off the day with his take on what happened Sunday… you should check it out. I think it was a love letter to Kenny Golladay, but whatever. Having such an informative asset (potential double entendre alert!) in terms of both Football and Fantasy Football will allow me to spread my wings and fly. Right over to your mother’s house. It’s no secret that I like having a little fun… probably a little too much fun. For those of you who want deep analytics like how I want to watch Deep Impact over and over again (Armageddon is in my top-10, lest we all forget that asteroid movies are my fetish) and some usable fantasy information, Matt’s your guy. If you’d like to have a little fun with what happened Sunday, experience some jokes, watch some great plays in GIF form, create some hot takes, AND still enjoy some “measured” usable fantasy information, welcome to my club! We get spiffy hats. Just kidding. I just get the spiffy hats. TL;DR – Why so serious? See Matt! Want to see me in a spiffy hat? See me!
Top Plays in GIFs:Â [[email protected]] Carson Wentz throws a 58-yard TD pass to Nelson Agholor.
Hey guys, did you know that Nelson Agholor is still alive? And that that he did something good yesterday? Important, because on this Carson Wentz 58-yard TD pass to Agholor, I took it as the 19th sign of the end of the world, you know, in case the hurricanes, tornadoes, earthquakes, and fires weren’t telling enough. If you were wondering, my Chargers moving to Los Angeles was number 14.
Hot Takes Alert!
- I wonder, will people stop pretending Colin Kaepernick is somehow worse than [Random Name Generated Failed White QB Backup] at some point this year?
- Will the NFL do anything even vaguely redeemable in moral context this season so I can justify to myself why I’m not joining in on some of those sweet-sweet boycotts? (October Pink doesn’t count!)
- Doritos (finger powder) or FUNYUNS (crumbs and err, light finger powder)?
- Jordan Reed (toe) or Jason Witten (age)?
- Todd Gurley is so awesome. Too bad he’s on a team owned by Satan.
- Will the Jets suck so bad that I can stop pretending that I’m not watching it for a purely “let’s see how much of a disaster this will be” type of reason?
- Thoughts and prayers go out to everyone in Florida… for having to deal with the Jaguars, Buccaneers, and Dolphins. Honestly though, if only we had named them “Hurrican’ts” they wouldn’t even be able to hurt us!
Top Plays in GIFs:Â [[email protected]]Â Amari Cooper’s TD catch from Derek Carr.
I really really didn’t want to do a “Hangin’ with Mr. Cooper” joke here, because, I mean, with Amari Cooper, it’s just low-hanging fruit off the joke tree. So instead, I’m just going to tell you about the time that I wanted to use a “Hangin’ with Mr. Cooper” joke and make that into the joke. Get it? It’s just so darn meta. On another note, this is what happens when you show up to leg day… And yeah, that is Derek Carr throwing a touchdown pass to Cooper, in our favorite game of rugby. Speaking of Carr, I like that Marcus Mariota threw for fewer yards, fewer touchdowns, and a lower completion percentage than Carr, but still had a higher QBR. Great metric ESPN!
Hot Takes Alert! Part 2: 2 Hot, 2 Furious.
- Julio Jones is still a beast-like person. No joke, just wanted to mention the obvious.
- The refs are already in “early season 2012” form it looks like. Generally it takes them a few weeks and a few games spent in Green Bay or New England to reach this level of ineptitude, so the fast start is pretty impressive. They still also don’t know what a catch is, but to be fair, no one really knows after about 100 years of sample size…
- Hey, what’s your favorite “second word” used by TV commentators to describe an “athletic” black quarterback? Is it “flashy”? Maybe “mature” or “dynamic” or “shifty”, or maybe it’s just “selfish”?
- Mike Glennon looks like an action figure that got melted in a microwave.
- So the Panthers may suck complete rhino butt and Cam Newton‘s shoulder might actually be dead.
- I love how the Bengals will typically have more players on suspension than players sitting out from injury.
- Grey is a great color for football pants. It’s great at hiding FAILURE. Think about it folks.
Top Plays in GIFs: [[email protected]] Adoree’ Jackson hurdles over Raiders Giorgio Tavecchio.
Two top plays from the Raiders-Titans game? What a time to be alive! Also, you should try Giorgio Tavecchio’s fragrance for men.
Hot Takes Alert! Patriots Version!
- Legend has it that Tom Brady forged his first Super Bowl ring in the fires of Mt. Goodell and infused it with so much of his power that as long as the ring lives, so does Brady, in one form or another. Adam Vinatieri was chosen to destroy that ring, but he withdrew from this great quest by moving to the very flat and very white marshland full of Walmarts named in ancient texts simply as: Indianapolis. Until he makes the great journey back to Foxboro and destroys the ring, he will never be able to retire and find rest. And neither shall we.
- I think I’ve figured it out by the way… the Patriots are good because they are merely competent in a league where most teams are terrible.
Top Plays in GIFs: [[email protected]] Austin Hooper stiff arms on his way to the end zone.
The answer to the always prescient question “How sh*tty are the Bears going to be this year”? Easy: VERY. I mean, I really don’t know what’s worse, the Bears pass offense, the Bears secondary, or Peyton Manning commercials… (Nationwide is making me miss the good old days when FanDuel commercials ruled the world. Maybe.)
Obligatory Week 1 Injury Report: EVERYONE IS DYING!
- Chicago Bears wide receiver Kevin White exited the game after suffering a shoulder injury. Crazy, Kevin White never gets injured. Reports indicate White suffered a broken collarbone and will be placed on injured reserve.
- Arizona Cardinals running back David Johnson did not return to the game after sustaining a wrist injury in the third quarter. Reports state the X-Rays on Johnson’s wrist were negative, but he’ll undergo an MRI today. And just in case, I should get one for my liver.
- Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Allen Robinson suffered an ACL injury in the first quarter against the Texans and did not return to the game. Reports show that Robinson tore his ACL based on initial tests. Robinson will undergo an MRI to confirm later today that you don’t need Brock Lobster to be useless.
- New York Giants receiver Odell Beckham Jr. (ankle) was ruled inactive by the team ahead of the season opener against the Dallas Cowboys yesterday and is considered questionable in Week 2.
- Houston Texans tight end Ryan Griffin, receiver Bruce Ellington, and tight end C.J. Fiedorowicz all left the game after sustaining concussions yesterday. Defensive end J.J. Watt injured his finger but returned to the game, because of grit I suppose.
- Seattle Seahawks running back Thomas Rawls (ankle) was inactive for the season opener. (Rawls practiced this past week but was a game-time decision.)
Top Plays in GIFs: [[email protected]] Cole Beasley playing with his ball for a First Down.
I don’t know about you, and all due respect to Danny Woodhead (RIP), but that catch was gritty as f*ck.
Interesting Tidbits Around the League: MORE TIDBITS FOR THE TIDBIT GOD!
- Old Man Witten rides again! Jason Witten broke the franchise receiving record last night, passing Michael Irvin (I’m thirsty for a Coke right now for some reason) with 11,974 total yards, 43 ahead of Irvin. Witten’s success can have only one result: Hipsters will want to emulate his salt and pepper beard, and you can’t use some sort of normal bleach or whatever, they will have to USE MERCURY. And they will then all go crazy and die. #MAGA.
- Yesterday marked the first time ever that Jared Goff faced off against Scott Tolzien when the Rams took on the Colts, the quarterback matchup I thought I never needed, which then was confirmed by all parties involved that I, in fact, didn’t need it. I’m pretty sure Jim Irsay did think that Tolzein was the next big thing in the pharmaceutical industry.
- This year marks the 13th time Frank Gore has taken the field in the NFL. How can you play 13 years at the RB position? Dude’s not human.
- I don’t know much about Jack Doyle, but he just sounds like a member of the Boston Mob, which is good enough for me.
- Yes, that is a new toupee for Dom Capers. Same defense though.
Top Plays in GIFs &Â Hot Takes Alert (Two for One Special!): [[email protected]] Ezekiel Elliott Beats Women Version!
- Ezekiel Elliott knows a thing or two about full frontal assault after that play. After all, he is a power rusher on the field… and in depositions. I mean, honestly, why wouldn’t you just check down to Zeke on this play instead? I assume he would beat the coverage, no?
- If Zeke keeps this type screen game going though, I’ll let him beat the crap outta me, amirite folks!? (Even though Elliott looks like Kanye West after a creatine breakdown…)
Top Plays in GIFs: [[email protected]] Anthony Brown picks off Eli Manning’s pass.
In what I can only describe as the Saltine Cracker of Sunday Night Football games, my main takeaway was that Giants fans have a lot to be excited about this year, like an entire winter with their Sunday schedules open. And is it just me, or does Eli Manning always look like he has this thought coursing through his mind: “Why does Coach McAdoo have posters of Menudo in his office?” Or sometimes this thought: “How many days until I just start drinking straight out of the bottle?” And in this case, we’re talking about chocolate milk bottles.
THE Top Play in Week 1: [[email protected]]Â Kenny Golladay leaps to make a 45-yard TD catch.
So, Kenny Golladay appears willing to help Matthew Stafford (who I lovingly refer to as “Fatford”. Totally out of love. Yeah…) earn that new 135 million dollar contract he signed. I actually think it’s great that Stafford has been so charitable in offering to buy the entirety of Detroit with his new contract money. The real question is, what’s he going to do with the remaining 100 million? That’s like what, eight Clevelands? Also, the Lions football stadium is stunningly ugly. They should move to LA.
Final Thoughts: Ben McAdoo Edition!
Ben McAdoo looks like a guy who asks someone out on a date, and tells them they’re coming anyway.
Thanks for the wrap-up! Had a dynasty rookie draft question for you. Between the tight ends Howard, Njoku , and Engram is Howard far and away the best choice now and long term? Any argument for the others? Currently rostering Maxx Williams and Ladarius Green. Does Green ever see the field again and do you see Williams ever becoming productive? I appreciate the advice.
@WalleyWorld: Yes, I think so. I do like Engram, but think Howard is ahead of this group.
Thoughts on T West vs Buck Allen after Woody pulled out lame?
12T half-PPR 100 budget:
How much would you bid on the following?
C. Thompson
J. Allen
K. Wright
Golloday
T. Cohen
M. Mack
Thx
@fudgemybudge: I’d assume West gets an uptick, but I was dissapointed on how the Ravens did anything yesterday after he was carted. Double check when our FAAB post comes out tomorrow, but I think Golloday is a legit target. 20-30 would be me feeling.
So Cohen and Golladay are most likely the top 2 pickups in my league. I have the #1 waiver and lost Allen Robinson and also David Johnson (for a length of time somewhere between zero and forever). Which one of those two hot pickups should I grab?
12 team .5 ppr
My RB/WRs:
*Johnson
Bell
Gore
Riddick
Prosise
Hopkins
Baldwin
*Robinson
Garcon
Corey Davis
Doctson
Thanks
@ashtray: If you’re an ARob owner, totally go all in on Golloday.
Do you think Chris Thompson would be an upgrade over Prosise or Riddick in .5 ppr?
@ashtray: Riddick? Iffy, but probably. Which is a shame, I love Theo, but I think they don’t know how to use him. Prosise? Less clear, but probably.
Great write up! It was so great spending an entire Sunday at a bar watching football again!
12 team – 0.5 PPR – start 2RB, 2WR, 2FLEX
I lost Allen Robinson and Kevin White yesterday. Would you trade Gurley for Michael Thomas?
RBS:
Devonta
Gurley
Lynch
Blount
Vereen
Jamaal Williams
WR’s:
Davante Adams
Allen Robinson (out for season)
K White (likely out for season)
Snead (suspended until week 4)
@RICE: Should add…. free agents available to bid on:
Golladay, Agholor, John Brown, Stills, Lee, Doctson
@RICE: Definitely go for Golladay.
@RICE: I’d hold onto Gurley or go for someone bigger. Dez looked great pretty good last night, and with RB depth the way it is, you need to extort people.
@Jay: Wasn’t Michael Thomas higher than Dez on your last rankings?
I definitely don’t want to get rid of Gurley… but I have quickly developed a WR situation. I’ll put a bid in on Golladay, see if I get that, then go from there.
$1,000 budget…. what bid should I lay down?
@RICE: Yeah, you’re right, probably a bad example on my part as I think I was thinking of Brandin Cooks…
Jay,
Had Johnson go down yesterday. My backs are Johnson, Ingram, Cook, Lacy, Perkins. Got 1st waiver priority. Pick up Williams, Carson, Cohen, Allen, or Thompson? Leaning towards the handcuff in Williams but was wondering if you thought any of the others might be more valuable. PPR league.
@Allan: If it’s PPR the hype train in Cohen is going faster by the minute. If you have a IR spot, then you might want to go Williams since Johnson might be getting the IR-R tag and you can stash him there, and you know for sure Williams will be getting the majority of carries.
For Floor – go Williams, for hype upside, go Cohen
@Allan: I’m not terribly worried about Johnson, but Williams seems like the safe play, but to burn a 1st waiver priority? I might try for best available, like Cohen, and try to flip him for something useful perhaps.
Jay I’m in a 12 team standard league with the #1 waiver. Who is the add between Cohen, Kerwyn Williams and Golladay? We start 2 RBs, 3 WRs and a Flex.
RBs: M. Gordon, M. Ingram
WRs: D. Adams, T. Pryor, D. Parker
Flex: T. West
Bench: C. Carson, R. Cobb, M. Wallace
@Jedimasters: I’d want Golladay there.
Would you use your #1 waiver on Galoway , Buck Allen or Agalor ?
@Brian: Galloway.
Doritos, final answer. Funyuns are the Tolzien of snack foods.
The Bengals should probably hide in LA as well.
@bigbear: let’s send all of them to Los Angeles. All 32 teams!
I have top waiver…lost Robinson and am thin at RB. Which is the #1 waiver, Golladay or Cohen? One sounds like a Madonna song and the other sounds like a late night talk show host. Ok where do I put this man card?
@Jeremy Shockey’s Jockey Shorts: half ppr btw.
@Jeremy Shockey’s Jockey Shorts: haha, I hear ya. I’d go Cohen here.
With the Jags changing their whole offensive philosophy, do you think Chris Ivory is worth rostering in a 14 team PPR league? I think I can nab him without a waiver priority. My drop would either be Jamaal Williams or George Kittle, if my waivers don’t go through
@William Hung: yeah, in a 14 team, sure. I like Jamaal over Kittle, but I know you like him. I’m fine with either.
@Jay: What about Gio Bernard? Do you think it’ll be Mixon/Hill and then Bernard on passing downs, or do you think at some point that Mixon will be the workhorse? I’m trying to find hidden gems that might slip through my league – I’d think as long as Gio is healthy he’d be doing a Kamara-like role for them.
PPR league.
J. Matthews
Or
Vereen and Beasley.
@Big E Is A Creep: Beasley, I like him in PPR
that 20 teamer, it doesn’t have waivers (yuck) so j.allen was already grabbed. i don’t think i can add players anyway with some inactives and AAron donald slotted in IR slots (stupid yahoo) but rushing yards worth 50% more i have
QB (1) cousins (10 pts in this league this week) goff (40ish pts this week). not a bad problem to have, didn’t think it’d come this fast (that’s what she said)
RB (1) kelley/perine/c.thompson/m.jones/blount (WHEW, at least he was used)
WR (2) pryor/benjamin (good god he’s gonna have another bad year i just know it)/doctson
treadwell/jj nelson
TE (1) reed/v.davis/brate
IR m.williams/k.marshall (WAS)
LB (3) e.kendricks/burfict/bucannon/kwon A/the other l.david
DT (2) mal brown (NE)/malik jackson
DE (2) campbell/heyward
S (2) k.joseph/mathieu/s.cravens
IR donald/hall/t.murphy
my DE’s did so well that even with 4 LB injured/suspended/bye i would’ve won (even with mathieu being terrible) had i started goff over cousins, but i of course can’t lament that decision (much like somebody’s palmer over rivers)
hold m.jones over sims/drake/henderson/tolbert?
@Aubrey Plaza’s Pillow: kerwynn gone but also ellington out there.
@Aubrey Plaza’s Pillow: half PPR, and it’s not double rushing to receiving, it’s rushing every 10 yards per point, receiving every 15, so 50% more valuable.
@Aubrey Plaza’s Pillow: yeah, Marvin, right? Hold for a bit longer.
@Jay: sorry, the RB matt jones.
@Aubrey Plaza’s Pillow: oh yeah, haha. I still like him.
I don’t even know football, and this post made me very horny! Great stuff, Jay! And Cougs thanks you!
@Grey: Oh shit! The legend himself!
@Grey: haha, that was more Cougs than me.
It’s Monday of week 1 & already have a injury to my coveted DJ!
.5 PPR I am officially #1 on the waiver order, who’s my #1 target & why: Golladay, Kerwynn Williams (i own DJ), Tarik Cohen.
My RBs: DJ, Gordon, mcaffery, hunt, Smallwood, Abdullah, Jamaal Williams
My WRs: , martavis Bryant, Marshall , D Parker, hogan, Alshon, snead & maclin.
For the #1 waiver order I’m dropping Carson Palmer, my main QB is Winston who had a hurricane bye.
Next, how would you rank these for next on my list of available guys: Buck Allen, Andre Ellington, Kupp, agholor, chark west, JJ Nelson , Tolbert, Paul Richardson, Allen hurns, marqise lee, jermaine Kearse, Kendall wright, Marlon Mack.
With me #1 on the waiver order I will definitely be able to land either Golladay, kerwynn or Cohen.
Next round when it comes back to me will be tricky
@Monster mash:
This is also a 10 tm league with a bench that’s 9 deep & also 2 IR slots if that helps
@Monster mash: go Cohen there. And then I feel like that’s a good order.
DJ diagnosed with dislocated wrist. Was just offered him in a dynasty for Pryor. Is he still a buy?
Thanks!
@Dan: easy yes, grab dj
@Dan: I’d think so cause DJ is coming back anywhere from 2-4 weeks to 3-4 months. Pryor isn’t a game breaker either.
@William Hung: in a dynasty if i KNEW it was a year i’d still do it, that’s cheap price for a top 2 player.
@Aubrey Plaza’s Pillow: ya know how around here sometimes you’ll see somebody else with a team that another guy says “how the F do you have players X, Y, Z” in a league that size; THIS is fastest way to BE that guy (with the players)
So, Kenny Golladay appears willing to help Matthew Stafford (who I lovingly refer to as “Fatford”. Totally out of love. Yeah…) earn that new 135 million dollar contract he signed. I actually think it’s great that Stafford has been so charitable in offering to buy the entirety of Detroit with his new contract money. The real question is, what’s he going to do with the remaining 100 million? That’s like what, eight Clevelands? Also, the Lions football stadium is stunningly ugly. They should move to LA.
————————————————
Detroit and Cleveland bashing… hot take! Haven’t heard that one before…. bravo! I’ve been to Ford Field for some college games, that place is not ugly… but it is definitely dwarfed by the recent new stadiums built. To be absolutely fair, Ford Field is like 15 years old already.
Before the draft, before the Cohen, I wanted nothing to do with the Chicago backfield. I don’t think one game against the notoriously porous ATL defense is reason to change that opinion. I’ll hold onto my waiver claim priority.
Everyone panicking about DJ will end up picking up a guy in 3 weeks or so that ends up filling in for an injured RB and ends up in the top 10 RBs for the last 6 weeks of the year. It happens literally every year, especially in PPR formats. Don’t over-react. Don’t trade because you feel you have to.
I would trade FOR DJ right now if I felt my team was a playoff team in redraft formats. Change your perception on this topic. Most leagues don’t have a DL – Those leagues should have guys that feel like they are in good shape to compete making deals to secure DJ from teams that likely have a huge hole to fill now.
@CMUTimmah: Not sure why this posted here and not at the bottom…
@Dan: yeah, take it now.
a 12 team league different from above, dynasty though with rushing yards worth double here.
QB (1) tyrod/wentz (glad to see wentz look so good)
RB (1) howard (no waivers really helps here as…)/cohen/t.west (j.allen sucked up by somebody else)/smallwood/kelley
WR (2) jeffery/hopkins/m.thomas/thielen/hilton
TE (1) doyle
Flex (1, RB/WR)
flex (1, WR/TE)
IR m.williams/ware/meredith/rawls
K gano
DEF MIN
drop smallwood or kelley for k.will (ARI)
@Aubrey Plaza’s Pillow: half PPR.
@Aubrey Plaza’s Pillow: I’m okay with Smallwood for Williams.
Good read man!
With this crappy roster of mine, who do you think I should add with my #1 waiver claim ?
Cohen or Galladay (who fits better ? Need help on both RB & WR)
PPR league –
Tom Brady / Gronk
Montgomery / Jamaal Williams / Jacquizz / Doug Martin / James White
Jeffery / Crowder / Moncrief / Z. Jones / Kevin White (bye bye)
Thank you!
@Mr. Blast: Thanks! I think you need a WR here, so Galloway.
Hi Jay,
In a standard 10 teams, who would you pick up?
Tarik Cohen or Kerwynn Williams
@J: from above comments he has cohen higher.
@Aubrey Plaza’s Pillow: no he didn’t
@J: jesus, christ, search monster mash. you could also have either
1. searched cohen
2. just read them already.
monster mash asked about cohen adding vs golladay vs k.williams and the answer was…..
@J: yeah, go Cohen.
Nice post Jay!
I’m in desperate need of a WR or RB. Would you use the number one waiver pick for any of these guys?
Nelson Agholor
Paul Richardson
Marlon Mack
Cooper Kupp
Thanks!
@Noam Levenson: if super desperate, probably Richardson.
i’m gonna beat you to this joke. first off notice that espn 2 (one channel down in most spots probably) has NO @ MIN in spanish. now, for all of us that don’t already know spanish, we probably just now got the best reason to learn spanish we’ll ever have, not having to hear gruden.
12 team half PPR redraft. white (CHI) out. what’s best order for these waivering (white’s my worst WR): golladay/m.lee/agholor/hurns/woods/m.williams/perriman
@Eli Man Penguin Boy: haha, well played! And I like that order, but Perriman ahead of Woods.
since yesterday bunch of bad news
12 team 2 QB dynasty, half PPR, daily waivers, j.allen/lee out there, but not agholor/tolbert/k-will anymore since last night. some possible changes since
1. britt being verbally coach doghoused
2. ingram getting literally 1/3 of the carries
3. woodhead out but i can IR him in a couple of days
might win even without having decided which QB to drop for a kicker and an IDP guy on bye this week.
4. news out that charles will max out at 10 carries
12 team 2 QB dynasty. half PPR
QB (2) rodgers, tygod, mccown, brissett, mahomes
RB (2) ingram, t.west, forte, woodhead, kamara, charles
WR (3) allen, britt, d-jax, decker, jordy, treadwell
TE (1) ertz
2 flexes (R/W/T)
IR edleman
K ?
IDP flexes (4) l.david, t.smith, ogletree, collins
team DEF DEN
1. treadwell or britt drop for m.lee or hurns (it’s finally occuring to me that stashing long term value WR makes less sense in shallow dynasties, as the DAY agholor finally does well he’s added for zero FAAB dollars, pretty sure i held him to 2 years before this year)?
2. hold charles or grab any of mack/j.allen?
@Cheese Eating Surrender Monkey: woodhead will hopefully be IR able (just says OUT in yahoo) but even gambling one day on j.allen might not be desirable. would be easier in standard wednesday waivers day, not here.
@Cheese Eating Surrender Monkey: Britt for Lee. I’d hold on Charles slightly longer.
@Jay: ah ahahahahaha, unless allen or DEN D ends up with very big days i’ll win with the 3rd or 4th worst score in the league after that CJA can’t get in from inches play, i got allen/DEN D and 4 pt lead vs CJA
@Cheese Eating Surrender Monkey: crazy game
@Jay: yeah won fairly easily as CJA didn’t do much in 2nd half (like melgor), except that TD called back on penalty. got 5th worst score and won. nobody bid anything on lee, so my $7 was too much, meanwhile somebody bid more than that on j.allen. i wasn’t going to bid $8 on allen so it doesn’t really matter that i held charles. when woodhead gets IR’d (or just “out”) i’ll either grab kicker or one of these: mack/d-wash/hill/breida/mckinnon/yeldon/ivory. rotowlrld’s claiming that if cook went down it’d be lat murray, but he looked awful, mckinnon pretty good actually. and that MIN o-line is better than last year, NO D or not against.
Need a Koo FG to win… c’mon Chargers offense!!!
@William Hung: Too Koo for school
@Jay: I hate the Chargers so much right now – just get Koo in FG range, or get Gates a 25 yard reception…
@William Hung: their known to do those sorts of things…
these chargers cost me my game this week
@William Hung: cost me my early adult life.
@Jay: haha word
My team is awesome. I won this week with the highest score in the league despite leaving Kareem Hunt on the bench.
My weakness is at QB, where I drafted Cousins and picked up Palmer off waivers. My question – do you think the Bradford and/or Alex Smith explosions are for real? Should I ditch Palmer for one of them?
On a separate note, are Tarik Cohen or Jesse James for real? Should I abandon Prosise or Ebron to grab them?
Thank you, sir!
@Oliver: james shouldn’t be, PIT traded for mcdonald with like 10 or less days till season, very likely he wasn’t up to speed on play book yet. doubt they traded for him to not use him. would think palmer ditching can’t be that bad.
@Oliver: Well done! Alex Smith could be worth a shot simply because of the Hunt and Hill factor.
@Jay: Alright. I put my waiver request in.
What about dropping Prosise for Tarik Cohen?
@Oliver: yeah, I’m fine with it. I still like Prosise… but Cohen is gonna have a shot.
I asked the same question yesterday but now that the David Johnson situation appears to be more dire I need to ask again. I have the #1 waiver so I can grab either Golladay or Cohen. Which situation is better:
12 team .5 ppr
#1
RB: Bell, Cohen
WR: Hopkins, Baldwin, Garcon
Flx: Riddick/Fleener
Choose from WRs like Woods, Hurns, Kearse and Richardson for WR depth
#2
RB: Bell, Riddick
WR: Hopkins, Baldwin, Golladay
Flx: Garcon/Fleener
Choose from RBs like Thompson, Mack, Tolbert, Allen, Kamara for RB depth
