Not looking good for any of us who have Chargers players in their squads, especially the left tackle going down. Herbert is literally a hit or two from not playing at all. I wish he didn't play on Sunday. I mean just look at all the injuries they have:

Yeah, I benched Connors this week and now I'm benching Ekeler (couldn't talk myself into benching both this week) on my other team. At least I have Gordon sitting on the bench.

AFA QB's well Kirk is pretty good for his floor and pretty dependable middle to upper of the mid tier. If you didn't grab an early QB it really drops off after the first 5, thats why I was hoping no-one would target Hurts as well. I got a bargain on him. Cheesy

If I had to stream a QB off our wire right now I think I'd go Brissett for the highest floor but I would stick with Cousins in your spot.

For upside, Goff could have a great game but also he could put up single digits, I doubt he will do inbetween.

I need three sacks and a turnover from the Cowboys' defense tonight and also keep the Giants away from scoring more than 27pts.

Jones has 1x fumble and an interception in those first two games, has also been sacked 8 times....just 5 points, pretty pleaaase! Let's go Big D! Cheesy

So to recap for #Chargers...

• QB: fractured rib cartilage
• All-Pro center: knee injury
• All-Pro LT likely to miss season with torn biceps
• No. 1 receiver has strained hamstring
• Top pass rusher has groin injury
• Top CB not responding as expected from ankle surgery

PS. Russ is perma cooking on my bench, Broncos offense is such a mess right now. I'm either streaming QBs the rest of the season or looking for a trade or something...idk

W0w, Great week guys!

Congrats Southpark, we both really needed this win!

BBC, your really shining congrats as well!

Hopefully we can keep it close without anyone running away this season.

I had to choose/stream between Goff and Wentz in another league, guess i dodged a bullet by not going Wentz, dude got sacked 9 times today.

Yeah that looked classic concussion wobble. They claimed it was a back issue so 🤷. I've never seen someone wobble like that unless their brains got scrambled for a second.

That was pretty bad, and didn't look like a back injury to me either. Post game announcers said that one of the coaches thought it was a head injury, but then they let him go back onto the field. I also heard that the NFL will be investigating the incident, so I'm sure we'll learn more in the following few days. I would venture to guess that Tua won't be in the line up this coming weekend. If I'm guessing right that it's a head injury, protocol will keep him sidelined for at least a week.

Miami and the Eagles are definitely the top 2 surprises to day. Eagles look real strong and seems as though the debate of jalen hurts good enough will be over. Can't see them replacing him playing this well. Dude has over 900 yards passing in his first 3 games and has played flawlessly.

Miami...dang, wasn't expecting that. I know adding hill was a power move but they look like they will battle Buffalo for first all year long.

....GO GIANTS.

That is surprising stuff, I doubt anyone would have guessed that Miami would be the only undefeated AFC team going into week 4, or that the only undefeated teams in the NFC would both be from Eastern division. I don't see the Cowboys winning tonight's game, so I'm expecting (and rooting for) the Giants to continue their streak. It's always nice to see games being so unpredictable, it makes for a much more competitive and fun season. The worst thing is when a team just runs away with it. Unless that team is the 9ers, of course. That wouldn't be bad. Cheesy

Dolphins remain unbeaten, yet another impressive win! I'm not sure why officials allowed Tua to continue after that play at the end of the first half, aren't there concussion protocols in place? He clearly looked knocked out, if you haven't seen the video:

It looks like everyone in our league will have at least one win and one loss after week 3, which I think is great.

Congrats to Cows and Barbarians for defeating the two top teams.

As much as I hate to lose, I agree this a good start to the season. It's great to have this kind of parity so early, it make it clear we'll all be competitive well into the latter part of the season.

Congrats to South Park and Hueristic on your first wins of the season. Wishing you each about 4 or 5 more, but that's it! Grin

It was a horrible weekend for me, with my sucky fantasy team, and even more sucky Niners. Talk about safeties, how do you step out of the back of the endzone, then throw an interception? God damn, I hate it when Garoppolo gets jumpy in the 4th quarter. It's gotten to the point that whenever we go into the 4th with a lead, I just expect shit to collapse.

@morvillz7z. Tua was walking on his own two feet going to the tunnel, however. Doctors would never let him play if he had a bad concussion.

Also, yes the safety hehehehe. The commentators were saying they did not need it.

There was also Tua's long pass to Jaylen Waddle going near the endzone on a 3rd down and was it 20 yards?

My team has been lucky for week 2 and week 3 with Lamar and Amari Cooper hehe. I am quite certain this is not very sustainable, however. Cam Akers, Christian McCaffrey and Mike Evans will need to create more fantasy points than projected when Lamar and Cooper cannot produce week 2 type of performances.

I am also quite surprised that some analysts have hyped the 49ers being playoff contenders again with Jimmy G. This game will show if they are right or wrong hehe.

My team is brutal. Jefferson laid an egg today and I have no faith in ceedee lamb with dak out. No running back depth and quartback is an issue lol. Unless something changes I can't see my team competing all that well this year. Cry

GOOD LUCK EVERYONE, Hoping for a FIRST win today against Dires Brutal Team!

I'm rooting for you. Nothing against DireWolf, just need to level the competition Grin

The closest matchup right now seems to be Taco vs Chi:

Loading...

And I can't decide if I should play Herbert. I have a feeling they might bench him at some point.

Edit: well, Herbert sucked but so did Stafford so my decision didn't matter in the end but damn... the Jaguars crushed the Chargers, didn't see that coming.

Speaking of kickers I’m absolutely losing my mind right now. Between Joseph and Lutz I believe they have missed 7 field goals. Not to just say this because I’m seething over shit kicker play but I don’t think kickers should be used in fantasy football anymore. There’s a pretty big movement between really competitive/serious leagues that has gone on for several heats now where they are stopping using kickers. Winning or losing based off a kicker just doesn’t seem fair to me. I feel the same way about real football too. I wish they’d just do away with field goals and after points.

Okay I’m done ranting, time to smoke some weed and calm down lol. Good luck today everyone.

Damn, thought I was going to have the team I drafted all ready to go this week but no Butker decided to take another week off! Cheesy

It looks like you got yourself another kicker, but you left him on the bench. You're kicker slot is empty right now...

Thanks Man, He was on waivers and I wasn't sure what time it would be settled (put in the claim 2 days ago) and whether or not I'd get him (I've been known to sleep in past kickoff sunday afternoon.) so I had another kicker in just in case and it looks like the waivers were settled right after I crashed. Cheesy

There really should be an option to put a claim auto in the lineup in the waivers section.

GOOD LUCK EVERYONE, Hoping for a FIRST win today against Dires Brutal Team!

Hehehe similar to much of these fantasy matchups it was luck. Steelers defense was not very good. Amari Cooper would never have a similar performance vs. the Bills' defense.

In any case, I was going to risk using Atlanta defense if Cooper did not give me 2x the fantasy points projected.

Cooper was in fact on my radar but I decided to stay away from him because I thought that he was on a boom or bust situation in which he could do very well or he could do horribly.

Quote from: bbc.reporter on September 23, 2022, 12:37:02 AM

However, I might not be that lucky. McCaffrey's Q might be more serious than what is being reported. If I knew he has a high percentage of being injured in a season, I would have picked Justin Taylor.

He's one of the biggest first-round injury worries heading into 2022. According to the Injury Predictor tool, McCaffrey has been injured six times since college (ankle, hamstring, glute, shoulder, ankle, hip), and he has an 84-percent chance of injury this year (10.2-percent chance in each game). Overall, he’s projected to miss 2.2 games, but clearly the risk is there for more.

Source https://www.sportingnews.com/us/fantasy/news/fantasy-busts-draft-sharks-injury-predictor/t8uxbmzx9d8ydqobza0ofs02

If McCaffrey can stay healthy during the whole season I think there is very little doubt that he will be the top scorer, so it was not the worst decision that you could have taken at the time, you just took the risk and unfortunately it seems that it may not pay off, however you made the draft interesting from the very first pick with your gutsy decision, and for those that are just playing for fun that is invaluable.

It is not gutsy. It is risky and it showed that I did not do much research on the players in the first round of the draft. I am playing for fun yes, however, I also want to win the money hehehehee.

I will be watching the Dolphins versus the Bills more closely. Mike McDaniels have 2 wins versus 2 good football teams. This game versus the Bills might make him something like a playbook genius if Dolphins win.

Seriously, what was Tomlin thinking on that 4th and 1 while in the redzone needing a touchdown? Perhaps he saw he had no chance to win with Trubisky and chose to sink all the under bettors with him? Grin

I'm not sure i fully understand his decision, he should have put the offense back on the field, following the penalty, and tried to keep the drive alive and possibly score. Huh

I would've gone for it even at 4th and 5... Tomlin had some bad decisions last week as well, an insanely lucky win over the Bengals. Steelers deserved to be 0-3 to start the season. I don't see them doing any better with Trubisky at the helm, Tomlin being overly conservative, and last but not least no TJ Watt.

Lol, that struck me as odd also. I don't often find myself second guessing Tomlin's decisions, usually that guy is Chess master when it comes to in-game strategies. I understood settling for a field goal when it was 4th and 5+, but after the 12-man penalty reduced it to 4th a short yard? The Steelers were down 9 points at the time, and we all know the odds of getting an on-sides kick is slim to none. The announcers were questioning it a bit too, but decided that going for the sure points was the right call. I disagree. It was difficult for his team to get so far down the field, and that possession was one of the few time there got so close to the red zone. It spoke more about how much (or little) the trusts Trubisky.

No matter what they needed 1 td and 1 fg, if they get stuffed the game is over. So might as well go for the field goal there, you still need the ball back no matter what. I don't think it was a terrible call. Odds were completely stacked at that point you at least want to try to make it a 1 score game.
