Also I didn't expect to see Tua back. He really loves the game, can't stop him from doing what he wants to do.

Can stop by hitting the head apparently.

Too soon? Insensitive? Yes.

There's this saying that I've heard, goes something like this:  What's the best part about beating your head against a brick wall?  It feels really good when you stop.

Apparently Tua hasn't learned that lesson, nor heard the anecdote.

What a week. I got a surprise blowout against the Howdy Nabers (largely thanks to George Kittle), while Malik Nabers gave a mediocre performance this evening.

Upsets continue to be a dominant theme. Some of the biggest ones:

Rams over Vikings
Browns over Ravens (ouch)
Patriots over Jets (oof)

I feel like this year has been the most brutal with injuries of the top players.  Maybe it's just recency bias but dam.  Season changes so quickly from one Sunday to the next
Rough year for a lot of players in the NFL. Those who have the 49er players on their fantasy team have taken the worst hits, but I think we all have had some bad luck. Some just worse than others. Waiver claims are probably an all time high this season for all of us.
At this point I cannot help but wonder if there is something wrong with the way the 49ers take care of their players, if this is simply bad luck or if they pick injury prone players, since this is not really the first year in which they are favorites to reach the SB and their season gets derailed with so many injuries on key players.
I think they just play hard and take hard hits honestly. Other than CMC who has a history of injuries, I think the rest are just normal everyday injuries from taking hits. All those hits add up quick. The good thing for them is that the injuries are happening now so if they are in a playoff position later, their players should be near full health and give them a decent shot at a superbowl.

WFT!  You're right.  I thought I had that shit locked up.  But, it looks like I'm on a two-game win streak.  I even beat the high-flying Potatoes Nabors this past week, that surprised the shit out of me.

Godwin is certainly season ending, we shall see with Evans.

that sucks bad!

I've got him and evans on some teams and the Bucks looked like contenders and now will be lucky to make the playoffs.

Godwin has been having alot of bad luck on the injury front the last few years.

I'm not coming in last boys so put your game faces on!

It appears that I should have joined for this season. I might be doing much better than what I would have expected hehehehe.

On the Vikings, why are they only -3 against the LA Rams? They should certainly be -6 esepcially the type of loss they received from the Lions on week 7? This is their injury report, however, someone in this thread might know who are the important injuries for this team. I only know their quarterback, the widereceiver and the tightend hehe.

Best fantasy year of my career and I'm in 7 leagues which I think might be the most leagues I've ever been in at once, or close to.  Last nights Tampa Bucs vs Balt Ravens really fd me hard in pretty much every league I'm in.  I've got either Evans or Godwin or both in every single league I'm in.  Not to mention all of the others injuries I've had outside of them.  I don't mind losing because I didn't pick the right players and what not, but losing due to injury is just PAINFUL.  Of course I'm concerned about their health and the Bucs were killing it with those two..now, no chance.  Godwin is certainly season ending, we shall see with Evans.
I missed Godwin’s injury as I switched channels when the score was 34-10 in favor of the Ravens, but I cannot really understand what was Coach Todd Bowles thinking? Evans went down during the first half and the game was for all purposes lost before the end of the 4th quarter, he should have sit down his stars, accept the loss and move on, especially when the score was 41-18 with only 6 minutes remaining on the clock, now what seemed like a great season for the Buccaneers is basically a disaster, since you cannot find two receivers that are nowhere near as good as Godwin and Evans that could replace them before the trade deadline.

Okay asking for some market research.  I'm still in a survivor pool that started with 1800 people amd we are down to 31.  I have the bills but might want to save them.  2 other teams I'm looking at is the redskins...yeah the redskins.  And Cindy playing the browns.  All 3 very winnable games.  Which one would you guys take.  I'm leaning bills.  They are home against a team who runs out will Levi's under center lol.

Bills over Titans certainly seems like a lock, but you never know.  Funny enough @Hhampuz was in a survivor pool a few years back where the Bills had just been god awful for a bit of time, and he was asking "okay now who's a lock for this week, like no chance they'll lose".  It was an easy answer for me, I don't remember who they were playing but they were good enough where they had already penciled in a W.  Well, guess who won.  It set some sort of record for most unexpected loss in like the modern era or some shit like that.  So..ya never know lol Butt.

Washington should certainly be taking home the W but they are getting a bit better and better with Dalton under center opening up Dionte and Chubba to be legit.  Now Cincy should be a lock.  Burrow is balling out, Higgens is back and doin well..I think they are just as much a lock, despite a solid D.  Plus Ford probably out, though Chubb being back, gunna be on a limit count.

Yeah those were my other 2.  Bills play new England later in the year so was thinking of saving them.  Washington shoukd be a lock but I hate saying that with rookie quarterbacks so I'm staying away.  Cincy is a wildcard and they have burned a ton of people already.  Sucks because we are down to like 30 people and this is typically the story of my life...so close lol.  Probably going to lean on the bills.  They are home and will Levi's is a dumpster fire right now.  Thanks for the talk through.  If I last minute deviate I will report it here lol.
I'd shoot my shot with Washington. Daniels has been absolutely electric and while the Panthers have put up some points since switching to Andy Dalton as QB, they are not enough defensively to handle Daniels and the high powered Washington offense. Might as well use them up while they're taking on a easy opponent.

The Jets have traded for WR Davante Adams.

In a move everyone saw coming as Rodgers has become the de facto GM and Coach of the Jets, a trade for Davante Adams has happened, and while the chemistry should still be there, the Jets had to pay a conditional third round pick which could become a second round pick and they had to pick the whole contract from the Raiders, so it is obvious the Jets are going all-in for this season, which is understandable since we do not know for how long Rodgers can keep playing, but even then I am not so sure this move will help them that much, since the number of penalties yesterday shows a lack of discipline difficult to find on the NFL.

Yes this reunification on mr. immunized Aaron Rodgers and Davante Adams is very good and this will create much excitement for the fans, however, the Jets should also improve their offensive line to protect Aaron Rodgers. This Rodgers and his wooden leg should join the Buccaneers and put a parrot on his shoulder heheheheh.

On the Vikings vs. the Lions, this is a divisional game and Lion will play very much more than their team's capabilities. This might be very hurtful for Sam Darnold's head and the Vikings' offensive line, I reckon.

The Lions loss of Hutchinson will be a huge blow.  Teams had to scheme entirely around hutch and now they don't have to.  Dude was an absolute beast.  While I don't think that the lions will be bad on defense it's definately going to take a step back.  Being in win now mode, I'd ask vegas about max Crosby or browns about miles Garrett.  It will take a ton to get them if they are on the block but for the Lions it would be well worth it.  And then next year when hutch comes back ypu have bookends.  I'd press on that.

Somebody warned me that Carr was out... I should have paid attention. Even still I did not expect them to get blown out by 23 points. Ouch.

Over half of their 1st string was out, I stopped watching it at halftime and went back to the tables.

I think this guy gave me more points than any of my guys this year.

@nutildah Damn man, that's some solid work!!!  I have to say, in all of my years of football and betting, which has been like 10 years or so since I've been really in to gambling, this has been the most difficult year for me hands down.  So many teams are equally shitty or equally up and down, so that's impressive.

Thanks, and I agree that games have been hard to call this season. But my first pick suggests I know nothing about NFL, whatsoever.

Den vs. NO -- almost an even match, but the line keeps creeping up in Denver's favor, so its now at -3 in some books. Its a home game for the Saints, however, and they have a 2-4 record. I'm thinking they're gonna try extra hard to please the fans, so going with NO.

Somebody warned me that Carr was out... I should have paid attention. Even still I did not expect them to get blown out by 23 points. Ouch.

Alright now I need to get at least 11/14 of the remaining games to stand a chance at winning this week, lol.
