Hunh, that’s weird. A prime time Patriots game not against the Colts or Broncos? No Tom Brady still? Gronk still questionable? A third-string quarterback starting? The first black quarterback to start for the Patriots… ever? ALL THE QUESTION MARKS? Yeah, so this should be an easy loss for them. *Looks at matchup* LOL, nevermind. The Texans travel to Boston, bringing with them a quarterback that we’ve affectionately (I think?) labeled as Brock Lobster (hey, when there’s low-hanging fruit, go for it brah) that continues to prove to everyone what simply shouldn’t be provable, that John Elway might have been right about something. Despite providing an underwhelming first two weeks, Lamar Miller and the emergence of Will Fuller have eased the blow to all Texan fans. All six of you. Meanwhile, as was touched on before, we are basically watching Bill Belichick’s biggest strategic gambit pay off, as he has decided to punt the first three weeks of the season and still win all of those games just to assert dominance over the AFC. This may seem less impressive when they’ve beaten the Dolphins and what was an under-achieving Cardinals, but then you realize that about 88% of their team has been deflating balls or getting shoulders and legs exploded during that time…

Totally Legitimate Game Prediction
Texans – 6 (The number of Texan fans. Source: My lede.)
Patriots – 57 (Because we don’t deserve nice things. Probably because of masturbation.)
Dorsett or fuller half Ppr?
Goin Fuller there.
I would like to take this time to point out that a certain Razzball contributor picked Will Fuller for Rookie of the Year ( ⚆ _ ⚆ )
@mikeMaher: Haha, and who’s that?
@Jay:
One of the three people who didn’t pick someone on the Cowboys:

@mikeMaher: Nice!
C Mike of Tajae in the flex? Standard scoring.
@Jurickson BROfar: ps. You are the best Jay.
@Jurickson BROfar: Any time man!
@Jurickson BROfar: Leaning C-Mike… make sure you ask Tehol though, he has a pretty solid grasp of that Seattle situation.
.5 ppr
Would you trade away shepard, Julius Thomas and Jennings for reed and t Coleman ?
Starting WRs are brown / Evans, backups are both Benjamins and Shepard .
Thanks
@Old dirty: No, I’d hold there.
20 teamer, drop abdullah or dj foster (or both) for which of these (missed mccluster by about 30 minutes yesterday, could spell my whole season actually if i get one more injury):
ervin/farrow/ferguson (appears gore’s backup now)/zenner/smallwood/darkwa/c.johnson
@goodfold2: PPR, and i have abdullah/l.bell/artis payne/langford/howard. till abdullah went out i appeared to have decent depth and only one weak spot.
@goodfold2: Ferguson, and probably take a gamble on Smallwood… eh, tough situation.
test, it didn’t post my last 2 attempts.
I got this one.
@Jay: are there certain kind of links that software fails to accept maybe?
@Montezuma’s Revenge…right now: Could be, but I didn’t even see anything in the spam section for the comments.
@Montezuma’s Revenge…right now: You trying to post porn again man?
@Jay: never tried that, it was pictures of chainsaw kessler.
