Boooo this man!! Boooooo  Cheesy


I hope those of you who were considering bench superstars like AJ Brown and especially Aaron Jones did not.  AJ Brown didn't have the best game ( much better games ahead for him) but Corey Davis had an even worse game.  This is why you never sit your superstars no matter what, or who they are facing.  Hope everyone had a good week of fantasy.  I finally had a bit of a bounce back week myself.

Hehehe I listened to your advice master. However, I had no choice because A.J. Brown is my only performing wide receiver. Anthonio Brown was always ignored by Brady on week 2. I reckon I am only lucky with McLaurin. He might be 0 points on week 3.

I have some good go-to gifs for shitposting intruders, just waiting for an excuse to use them.

This week I like KC to cover -6.5 or -7 and Las Vegas to cover -4..

I'll personally be rooting for the Rams to take out Brady, Mr. Perfect over there, but won't be betting money on it. Can't believe the line for that one is only -1 TB.

The late Sunday game, SF vs. GB should be pretty entertaining as well.

Who are 49ers fielding against Green Bay on Sunday, do they even have healthy RBs left on their roster?

#49ers RB news from Kyle Shanahan: Jamycal Hasty is out for a while w/ an ankle injury, Elijah Mitchell is day to day with shoulder injury and Trey Sermon is in concussion protocol

They lost Mostert to a season-ending surgery following week 1 injury, i mean who do they have, Trenton Cannon? Ravens signed all the serviceable RB free agents that were still available.

Fuck, maybe go with Deebo Samuel for a week, dude is built like a running back.  Grin
If I remember correctly I think Adrian Peterson and Todd Gurley were still available, but yes the options available are slim.



Have you seen the chances wheelz makes it to the playoffs? ESPN is now given them a 96% chance after week 2!



BTW I was setting my choices for the waiver wire when I realized the priority order was all wrong, the ESPN website is kind of clunky when it comes to select the players you want for the waiver wire so I was thinking on doing it all over again when I realized you can change the order to whatever you want, just go to My Team->Pending Orders and you will see your waiver wire moves and the order in which they will be executed, to change the order just click and drag & drop your selection were you want it, I know for the experts this is probably not new but maybe the rest of the newbies will find this useful.  



Edit: As if the NO Saints did not had enough problems with a covid outbreak and the Ida hurricane not allowing them to play home, it seems the roof of their stadium was on fire, it seems everything is under control now, but it seems it is going to be one of those seasons in which everything goes wrong for the team.

Yeah 96% after week 2, I think that is a little crazy.  Can't really even tell until mid way through the season.  The real games start when all the teams start going on byes and your bench plays a bigger part in the week to week games.  Gotta love starting 2-0 though Smiley

Aaron Jones needs to run the whole length of the field and score a touchdown.... ~5 times. Which is not impossible, they're playing the Lions Grin

Well, he got 4 TDs, but fell far short of the yardage I needed.  What a bastard!  Cheesy


Are you guys watching the game with Payton and Eli?  It's different, that's for sure, but I think I like it.
Yeah the eli/peyton broadcast is much better.  It's a way better experience watching the games like that than watching the regular format with 2 announcers.  It's like hanging out with your friends talking about the game as it's going on but with 2 people that know the ins and outs of every play and situation.  Definately watching the rest of the season like this espn nailed it.

Yeah, that was fun.  I agree, it was like watching the game with some very knowledgeable friends.  I didn't miss the play by play broadcasts, the Mannings would talk about formations and coverages, and break down the defensive successes and breakdowns.  Bret Favre was an awesome addition, I've always liked that guy and his presence brought up some fun stories. 

Can you believe Eli snuck into a bar at age 17?  What a hoodlum.  I would have never done anything of that sort... (that's what I tell my kids, anyway.)  Cool

I expect Elijah Mitchell to play this weekend, but yeah, that's a common theme for the Niners.  We usually employ smaller, stout running backs, and plenty of them.  One of the reasons they tend to not be as durable as the bigger guys on other teams.  I was bummed to see Mostert go out for the season, but honestly I wasn't surprised.

Honestly at least from a fantasy perspective it doesn't matter.  Unless you want practice team guys with 3 days of practice to lean on rb sitch in SF isn't good.  Now speaking of deebo, gonna go out on a limb and say that niners are Def gonna look to air it out.

I still have Aaron Jones left to play tonight, but somehow I'm doubting he'll score 67 points.  Anyway, I'm accepting my loss this week, congrats to suchmoon on a decisive victory.

Funny you should say that, I did some math yesterday and if I was right (kinda doubtful, math rarely works after 3rd beer) then Aaron Jones needs to run the whole length of the field and score a touchdown.... ~5 times. Which is not impossible, they're playing the Lions Grin

But yeah it's a bit of a long shot.

Unfortunately for me, my beginner's luck won't be there when I'll need it, e.g. week 4 or 5 or 6 or 7 LOL. All of my players - except maybe Kittle - happened to have a great week but I can't rely on Bills D/ST bringing in 19 points every time.

Yep he just needs like a 400 yard rushing game with like 5 tds lol.  Watch he goes off for 200 yards and 3 tds though against the lions.  This is going to be a high scoring game I think.  I just need swift to not rack up crazy points.

Shoulda, coulda, woulda started the Pat's D, and now it's looking I should have started Rodgers also.  Deep down inside I knew he would have a good game tonight, and it was probably worth taking a risk on him over Josh Allen.  Of course I also expected the Bills to trounce the 'Fins, but who knew it would be that type of trouncing?

First quarter Aaron Jones already has 30 yards rushing and a receiving touchdown.  That's why you never sit him.  He will have a bad game and all every once in a while but he is a legitimate top 10 ff player.

Yeah, he's on pace to give me the points.  If only every drive can go like that, I'll have a chance.

My team was not very good but also not very bad hehe. I might replace some of my players again for this week. I shall remove Trey Sermon, Brandon Aiyuk and Matthew Stafford. I do not need an extra quarterback. I need runningbacks, wide receivers and another defensive line. Anyone want a trade for Stafford?

Trading Stafford means trading a quarterback. Which might not be the best idea right now. Judging the play style of the team, he might just be useful. But we cannot leave the score of a match in his hands, cause he "might just be useful". He has proven himself in the past a lot of times so I think trading him maybe not be an intelligent choice. And he just came into the team so maybe just let him settle and give him some time.

Vaccinized.. immunity level is full.
What a game. Chiefs got lamared big time. Really not how imagined it ending when he had negative points after the first quarter.

Can your quarterback do this?  Cool

Can my quarterback do this? Well, I wish… my quarterback ofter doesn't know from what they're doing to what planet they are on Roll Eyes… feels like their brains are made out of wood like no thinking is happening there. And about the game, that was unexpected, even for me. I can guess bettors lost a lot of money on this one.

Dolphins OL is sucking so badly today... I'm cringing even though it's making me a shitload of points.

It would have been nice to see it translate to receiver and QB stats as well, but no such luck for my team.  Cry

What a fucked up week for my team.  The Steelers' D was just abysmal and cost me -1 point, my top receivers had a pedestrian day.  You know you're fucked when your QB only scores 3 point more that your kicker, who outscored everyone else on your team.  I still have Aaron Jones left to play tonight, but somehow I'm doubting he'll score 67 points.  Anyway, I'm accepting my loss this week, congrats to suchmoon on a decisive victory.

At least I won my bet from last nights game; multibet with the Ravens to cover (+3.5,) the Chiefs over 23.5, and Mahomes to throw 2+ touchdowns.  4.21 to 1 odds; BOOM!

Congrats on winning the big season opener, it was a tight race for a while but a deserved W on your behalf.

I'm not letting it set the tone for my season, even though I also lost with my other team, which also has Henry dammit. A fluke to be sure. I'll be back!!



This week I'm going big on Arizona to at least cover. That almost seems like a gimme at home against the Vikings, even at -3.5. I don't see a reason why they won't win by at least 7.

Why thank you sir.  Looking to go 2-0 but nice hit with Henry this week.  Dude busted out.  Can never take 1 game samples, Henry will be a beast most every game.  I'm having a hard time picking my wrs, they are all around the same level.  Outside of a 35 point monster game from swift i should start out 2-0!
