…but can you take the Jets out of Rex Ryan? I think Ryan Fitzpatrick is saying… maybe? Or he’s just horrified at life.
Regular Razzball readers are quite familiar with my affection for NFC East derp, a very special and pronounced derp, to say the least, but sometimes all of us forget the unique derp that is produced by the non-Patriots AFC East. It’s as if the entire east coast can’t play a football game without producing a football-like product drenched with the aforementioned derp. And of course, last night, you have the Bills and Jets, two franchises, who in recent memory, you could only tell apart by the Bills sucking and the Jets blowing. True, it was rainy, it was windy in a short week, with two defense-oriented teams with mediocre offenses, but what we saw last night was the best this division has to offer. In this case though, we’ll call it the “lest”. Add in the bizarre (yet festive!) choice of jersey’s for both teams (shown above)… Not only was I in the mood for lime and salsa, but my left retina possibly detached. But hey, someday we’ll all get to tell our great-grandchildren that we were there for The Great Jersey Apocalypse of 2015. Unless you’re red-green colorblind. Then you’re the luckiest one out of all, because you saw nothing.

Brandon Marshall – 3 REC, 23 YDS, 1 TD. Aha! The Jets offensive game plan isn’t that good! I get it now!
Stevan Ridley – 3 CAR, -1 YDS. Forward. Ball goes forward.
After reviewing the performances of both Tyrod Taylor (17/27, 158 YDS, 1 TD and 6 CAR, 12 YDS) and Ryan Fitzpatrick (15/35, 193 YDS, 2 TD, 2 INT and 3 CAR, 30 YDS), both teams have officially forfeited last night’s game and the Patriots will be credited a win. Touchdown Seahawks.
Sammy Watkins – 3 REC, 14 YDS. I wasn’t sure which team wanted to lose the most last night, but I truly appreciate Sammy Watkin’s effort to let me know where he stood on the matter.
Karlos Williams – 7 CAR, 24 YDS and 1 REC, 26 YDS, 1 TD. Okay, that’s enough touches for you Not LeSean McCoy.
Robert Woods – 3 REC, 19 YDS. Never change Robert, never change.
LeSean McCoy – 19 CAR, 112 YDS and 5 REC, 47 YDS. So the Jets defense employed their “Just let McCoy run downfield until he tires himself out” strategy. I think it worked, but only time will tell.
Final Thought
Feeling better about Ivory after last night thankfully
Would you let the gurley owner pick any 2 of my RBs
Ivory Jstew gore cwest
Thanks man – can’t wait to see next weeks jerseys
@Zandy: Well, my perference would be to let him have Gore and CWest… but I don’t think it’s enough. I think any two is fine, Gurley is a mighty fine return.
@Jay: What about If it’s ap instead of gurley? Any two not named Ivory? Thanks bud
@Zandy: I’d rather not, even though he has a tougher schedule going into playoffs.
@Jay: Are You saying you’d rather not send Ivory for AP or you’d rather not go 2 for 1 for AP in general?
@Zandy: Oh, I thought you were sending AP over. Re-reading it, yeah, I’d send any two not named Ivory for AP.
ughh, that was just brutal! MY JETS had so many chances & we legit gave the Bills an early xmas present! Enjoy that gift Rex because your team of the north looked just as bad as the southern NY team(s).
@Nick: & your choice in GIFs are amazing, always laughing at them & these Jet ones are classic with Fitzy. Hope his surgery goes well as I DO NOT want to see GENO anymore
@Nick: There is no such thing as Genomagic, that’s for sure. And thanks!
@Jay: lol you got that right
@Nick: They both looked really terrible at times. I was impressed on how both teams were trying to lose.
Big Ben and J Stew for Bradford and TJ Yeldon in a dynasty full point PPR. It’s a 2 qb league and my other qb is Eli so I need a qb not on bye next week.
@Corey: Yeah, I like what this does for your team next year, but not too excited about it this season. How’s the rest of your team? If you think you can weather the hit, it’s a good long term move.
Big Ben
Demaryius Thomas
Emmanuel Sanders
Jon Brown
AP
J Stew
Ertz
Eli M
Darren McFadden
@Corey: I think it’s okay, but risky.
Jay, you know of where I can find a stat of opposing defense fantasy points against a teams offense? Like how many points team X allows to opposing defenses on the year? At home/away? I can only seem to find how many points a defense allows against offenses. Not the other way around.
@Cram It: Good question, no clue to be honest.
@Cram It: for most sites that looks like a count em by week, in yahoo that would be doable, but time consuming. back before they screwed up the kickoff rule, for leagues where kick return yards were very high (at least half equal to scrimmage yards) i used to count return yardage against both total and average per kick. it was time consuming.
@goodfold2: Yeah you can easily do the math yourself for a given team for Def points allowed. I think it warrants some analysis.
PPR league, for rest of season: Matt Jones, Joique Bell, or Jonathan Grimes?
Also, if Murray is out on Sunday, would you start Reece over CJ2K?
@Joe: no way it’s Grimey.
@Joe: Jones and no, I’d still go Chris Johnson there.
Would you prefer DeSean Jackson over Garcon? Somebody in my 10-team standard scoring just dropped him for DGB & he clears waivers tomorrow. Actually, Michael Floyd also clears waivers tomorrow as well. I have $8 left. Should I place a bid on either guy, dropping Garcon? I would have to plug the pickup in for week 10, or play Duke J/Joique Bell at flex if I were to bench the pickup.
@Nick: If you like both over Garcon ROS, let me know which to target first & approximate FAAB bid… I will not be getting any hot waiver pickups due to injury based on leagues remaining $ vs. my $8 so I suppose I should be targeting someones mistake of a drop like one of these guys…I think M Floyd safer floor…while D Jax higher ceiling but also lower floor, especially with their QB situation
@Nick: Yes. Sorta. It’s like the ceiling vs. floor. But I think Jackson gets better acquainted with the offense as time goes. I’d take that switch. But with your budget, not sure what to do here. Probably a low-bid to save yourself a few one dollar bids just in case.
@Jay: Yeah I do not think people will bid much on either guy. But if I were to get outbid for DeSean, would you also put a claim in for Michael Floyd? I’d think yes considering my drop is Garcon, haha…
@Nick: Yeah, I like both more right now.
PPR, which two ROS out of rid dick, j.bell, cobb, michael?
@Flowers misses his old glasses… but he’s ok tho: in case the slightly off name from a different computer doesn’t get moderated
PPR, which two ROS out of rid dick, j.bell, cobb, michael?
@Flowers misses his old glasses… he’s ok tho: Getting rid of dick, eh?
I’d go Riddick and Michael.
@Jay: nah, apparently i’m adding him for bell drop. hahaha.
Jay,
Which two rbs would you roster for ROS on a PPR bench: MJones, Hyde, Sims or Riddick?
Thanks
@The imp: Hyde and Sims.
Would you drop any of the guys on my roster for Big Ben or luck ?
Ppr league
Qb dalton
Rb west, Blount
Wr Calvin Johnson, Jeffrey
Te clay
Flex diggs ,j Matthews
Bench – Hyde, Matt jones, Andrews, John brown, Michael Floyd, James white
@Side dish: Probably Jones for Luck. But I think Dalton holds it somewhat together, so it’s not a big move.
