Facing Jacobs and McMannis. The last thing I need is overtime and more of this game

This week's mysteries:
1. What happens to Henry and Zay Flowers with Lamar Jackson out for at least a while?
2. Who will get the targets for the NYG?
3. Is Ladd a drop candidate?
4. Is woody Mark's the Texans rb1?
5. AJ Brown... what can you get for him?

My answers

This week's mysteries:
1. What happens to Henry and Zay Flowers with Lamar Jackson out for at least a while?
Id be worried if I had Henry. This team is going to be behind because of their defense. Maybe stock up for Zay Flowers though?
2. Who will get the targets for the NYG?
Doesn't matter. Theo might be viable.
3. Is Ladd a drop candidate?
If you can trade him for some FAAB id do that. Still a cant drop.
4. Is woody Mark's the Texans rb1?
He should be. Will this offense get going?
5. AJ Brown... what can you get for him?
Bright spot is the Eagles defense isnt Browns level elite. Bad news is the Eagles still are playing ahead most of the games. And Goedert got 2 TD gadget plays called for him. Maybe get Tet for him?

I almost picked up Woody Marks as a FA last week, but didn't due to several players popping a Q tag and thus not knowing who to drop... I'm thinking I will hold off on using my waiver priority to try to claim him now after his "breakout"... He was more explosive than Chubb on Sunday and seemed to really take over, but reasons to hold off:

1) it was against the now 0-4 Titans
2) Texans OL is still horrible
3) Chubb isn't going away
4) Mixon will come back soon

My fantasy team is leading 143.46 to 131.18. I have J.K Dobbins remaining, and my opponent has De'Von Achane remaining.

I'm down by just over 27 with Garrett Wilson and DEN defense to go tonight. Opponent is done.. sucks that my opponent got only 4 pts from Nabers, 1.2 points from Montgomery, 10 points from Olave... but is sitting at over 130 points due to Mahomes having his best game in years (27.3), Omarion Hampton (27.5), and Josh Jacobs going the F off last night (31.7). I had Jacobs in this league last year and he didn't do squat all year.

Jacobs was the RB5 last year. So I dont think he did "squat" last year.

Yeah he scored a touchdown a game last year and was incredible

Looking back at my draft when I picked in the second round (#22 overall), 12 team league.. I took Brock Bowers- not paying off at all so far. Geno doesn't like the check downs or the middle of the field. The best available that I passed on at that spot based on rankings and ADPs: Ladd McConkey, Kyren Williams, or a different "top 3" TE McBride or Kittle.. the "top 4" QB run happened right after that starting at pick 28 or so.. but then it was Tee Higgins, Mike Evans, James Cook, Omarion Hampton, Tryeek Hill drafted in the 30s. Kyren or Cook sure do look a lot better than Bowers right now.


Looks like a lot of league leaders have CMC (ADP around 8 or so) or JT (ADP around 21) - JT was taken right before my 2nd pick when I took Bowers and started the TE run.

league leader in my league took Gibbs at 4 and JT at 21.

he had a pretty slow start and barely made his projections all year.. he never had 31+ point outbursts like last night that I recall.

Id imagine the top teams are:
1. Drafted Cook.
2. Drafted Puka
3. Drafted JT
4. Drafted Amon Ra
5. Drafted CMC

And likely hit on Odunze, Etienne, Judhkins, QJ.

A.J. Brown has 14 catches for 151 yards in 4 games

his floor is do-nut level low

Jalen Hurts is one of the worst passing QBs I've ever seen at the NFL level. Literally his only redeeming quality is that he can run the tush push. If he was on a bad team, his career would just be that of AR in Indy.

Drafted JT, Gibbs. Hit on Etienne and Egbuka (12 team ppr). 3-0 and hopefully about to be 4-0 (up by 21, with Den DST left to play. He has Chase brown )

Gibbs at 4 or 5 and JT at 20 or 21 seems like a common formula for league leaders so far.

I screwed up in drafting Saquon at #3... wasn't sure on pulling the trigger on Lamb or Gibbs at #3.... hindsight is 20/20.

I have Chase Brown. He won't hit 21.

I drafted JT and Judkins, and picked up QJohnson. Judkins hasn't played/done anything until this week.

My team is about to be 2-2. So far (still have Nix and Jamar Chase tonight). Everyone else but my DST score 12+.

Also, I sat Chase Brown for Judkins. Worked out since I'm ahead by 6.5 and going against only Waddle tonight, so we'll see how that selection ends up.

Really close. Had the 6th pick. So 6 then 19. Nacua got snagged at 18 otherwise I would have taken him instead of JT there. Ironically Chase brown then went 20.

Really I'm lucky, I took Higgins at 30 and that hasn't bitten me too hard on the ass. he's been riding the bench for two weeks in favor of davante and Egbuka. Getting Etienne at 102 has been a godsend though

My 10 team league leader's team is:

Nix
CMC
James Cook
ARSB
Smith Njigba
Tyler Warren
Courtland Sutton
Quinshon Judkins

yeah; that CMC, ARSB, Cook at 1, 2, 3 is money. -- I'm guessing you picked 6 or 7th in draft?

Not my team but they drafted 9th. ARSB in 1st, CMC in 2nd, Cook in 3rd, Njigba in 4th.

are all the 1, 2, 3s - that took Ja'Marr, Bijan, Saqon at 1-2-3 and then had to wait until 24, 23, 22 (in twelve team leagues) looking at 1-3 or 2-2 right now? I'm guessing there are Lamb, Jefferson, and Nabers first rounders (5, 6, 8)? that might also be feeling some pain.

I drafted #2, took Ja'Marr at 1, JT at 19, and Chase Brown at 22 (10 team league). I'm about to be 2-2.

#1 took Bijan and they're 3-0, looking at their first loss maybe this week.

yeah; in a 12 team league, you'd have been looking at Ladd McConkey or someone at 23 as your 2nd pick instead of JT at 19.

I was 1 last year and 2 this year. I hate drafting that high. Seems like forever and many players between picks.

2 TD passes and TD run for Josh Allen

Waller with 2 TDs tonight. Fields doing Fields thing with a 40 yd rushing TD on a failed play.

How are you guys handling Rashee Rice?

I just offered Jayden Daniels / Rice for Hampton / BTJ

Rice is obviously on my bench and Daniels on my IR with Caleb and Geno manning down QB?

Do I smash this?

As a guy who just got torched by Hampton, I'm thinking yes… but as a guy who won it all with Daniels and rice last year and both of them coming back- I think you prefer to have those two for ROS, or ask for Hampton and someone better than BTJ.

My fantasy team won 150.26 to 148.28 for a 3rd consecutive win to improve to 3-1.

Yeah I know but I need a RB bad and I've got WRs and QBs to move.

I'm trying to sell him on Daniels/Jakobi for Hampton/BTJ

QB - Daniels, Caleb, Geno
RB - Bucky, KW3, random WW trash currently Corum, Ollie Gordon, Monangani
WR - CD, Sutton, Meyers, Ayomanor, Shaheed, Rice
TE - Strange

Chase Brown and Ja'Marr Chase. Woof.

Bengals have got to trade for a QB. Team has been out scored 76-10 last two weeks. They can't keep trotting Browning out there.

Why? Their defense is still so bad.

That's 38 PPG!!!
