Doomed to see the future and unable to prevent it
Alright I did it.  Laid a bet on my ny giants.  +5.5 at home, if they don't win I think they can keep it close today.  But then again I laid a bet on them so here comes a blowout loss lol.  Enjoy the games today and good luck in ff all!

Was going to hold onto Maher until after this week but both higgins and Allen out again so needed to pick up a WR, smart grab ChiBitCTy.

I dropped Cam Akers. He has been having problems in his team and Sean McVay. Lucky person to the one holding Henderson hehehe. According to Yahoo Fantasy it is a personal problem and Sean McVay will not release a statement whether he remains to be the RB1.

This week has been terrible for me, as you know I had Brian Robinson Jr on my team but since I had him on my IR I could not make any other move until I moved him to my bench and dropped a player or I dropped him, I like my RBs and even if I had too many already my only option was to drop a WR, but since I am not doing so well in that position I decided to drop him, I did not really wanted to do this until I saw how he will behave when given the starting job, but I was forced due to the Bye week my K is going through, so if anyone is lacking a RB he could be the option you were looking for.

It looks like our match will be a proper bottom-of-the-barrel duel Grin

I had to get two new RBs off the wire for this week because I have two injured and two on a bye. My only hope is that Kelce will massively outscore whoever you're gonna get for TE.

I did want to get Robinson but got confused with the misleading wire date on Yahoo (October 15). Obviously he's not going to be available until Wednesday (October 19) and no use for this week.

I am terrible at Fantasy Football!!!
I've got B. Robinson o44.5 rushings yards + Bears o0.5 FGs made @1.92

Robinson has been named the starting back for tonight's game, and he is projected to get double-digit carries.

And if that was not bad I had plans on grabbing Taysom Hill on waivers this week after that huge performance, but I decided against it since my TE has been giving me good results, but now he is out and I need to grab one anyway.

And about the game last night it was boring but I think it was slightly better than the previous game,  despite the efforts of both teams for this to not be the case.

LOL, Both WR's from each team, Samuals and Mooney had the winning touchdown in their hands and dropped it.

Thats why they are on my bench and not my lineup, really thought Mooney was gonna do it today.

Wentz still hasn't recovered from Philies D destroying him, he may not come back.

Dak is smart not to come back this week and get his ass handed to him.

I am not quite certain why there are teams that take the risk of trying for the 2 points instead of the extra 1 point after touchdown.

Will this Thursdays Amazon Prime game be more boring than last Thursdays?

I'm excited to find out.

I don't know if it's more boring, but it's pretty boring.  At least it's not all penalties and punts, there were a few failed 4th down attempts, lol.  You know it's bad when Ryan Fitzpatrick's beard is the most epic thing about the broadcast.

Fields just looks awful. He’s reminding of Mitch Trubisky so much it’s scary.

He is looking pretty awful, but so is Wentz.  At least Wentz took a hit to his throwing hand, which is somewhat of an excuse.

I didn't think that was possible but it's turning out that way LOL

3:0 at halftime and they needed two sketchy pass interference calls to even get into the field goal range...

Drinking game suggestion: shot every time the talking heads forget the team is called "the red... the dubbyef... the commandos"

Agreed. The Bears and the Commanders are making the impossible, possible. Carson Wentz much worse performance than Colts quarterback last week. I forgot the name, he is that bad. He might be from the Falcons before he was traded.

After this game I might also forget the Wentz family name and call him Redskins quarterback.

Even I as a Bears fan, who knows how truly terrible this team is (as well as how truly terrible the Washington Commanders are), was just saying in a discord chat earlier that there was no way that this game would be worse than last Thursday.  It’s pretty impressive honestly that it’s turning out that way. My goodness.

Fields just looks awful. He’s reminding of Mitch Trubisky so much it’s scary.

I've got B. Robinson o44.5 rushings yards + Bears o0.5 FGs made @1.92

Robinson has been named the starting back for tonight's game, and he is projected to get double-digit carries. As stats show below, the Bears' rush defense has been cooked by opposing RB1 (and Deebo) practically every game this season, and i don't see that changing today.

Week 1 vs 49ers Deebo Samuel   8/52/1   
Week 2 vs. Packers Aaron Jones   15/132/1   
Week 3 vs. Texans Dameon Pierce   20/80/1
Week 4 vs. Giants Saquon Barkley 31/146/0
Week 5 vs. Vikings Dalvin Cook   18/94/2   
stats via espn.com

I'm still debating whether i should grab the over on Mooney's rec yards (45.5) or not. Commander's pass d is terrible, i could see him and Fields connect on at least one explosive play, hmmm...

My team is officially the worst in the league. Whoo freaking who lol.  On another note I hate these analytic decisions going for 2 instead of the tie there for LV.  These new coaches played way too much madden for my taste.  Kick the extra point and play on.  If kc hits the field goal on the next drive it doesn't matter if ypu were tied or up a point anyway.  So dumb.

Are you talking about the Giants or your Fantasy football team? lol.  I mean I would be upset being a Giants fan too, but there's absolutely worse out there.  Oh say like my favorite team the Chicago Bears.  I know Justin Fields finally had a nice game last week, but I still don't have a ton of faith in him long term.

Some other worse teams out there too.  I mean at least you have some positions where players are elite, like your running back Saquan Barkley.  The Bears best player is Roquan Smith, for comparison.

My fantasy squad is the worst.  Had to autodraft the first 2 rounds and it took wide recivers..  hate waiting so long  for a running back and when I did I took javonte Williams who is now out for the year lol. Dak got hurt so backup qb, and now waller is hurt lol. My running back situation is unrecoverable, wait until the bye weeks kick in I won't be able to field a team legible team. 😅

I looked over your team and I just cant see a fair trade there. Sad

I can certainly find a fair trade.  My entire te for anyone else's entire team 😅

Eh in all honesty what does everyone think of tonight's game.  I have it as a picked and am taking the under at 38.  Think it's going to be a tightly played game with neither team wanting to give up field position.

I did take one prop, Terry McLaurin over 54.5 yards.  Outside of Samuel I don't see anyone taking targets from him.  Thomas is out and one of theor backs I think is out.

Enjoy the game everyone!

Okay now that waivers have been processed I can talk about how disgusted I was with myself for not dropping someone and picking up Taysom Hill before last weeks game. I knew he was the right play/ a good play, I just knew it, but I decided to ignore my gut and listen to the “experts” and went with Conklin over him. Needless to say after Hill dropped 40pts I was pissed off all weekend long (still pretty much am lol). Would have taken me from 1-4 to 2-3. I’ve got a good team, I really do, but it’s hard to come back/out of a 1-4 start.  But, we shall see.

Let this be a lesson to you all, go with your gut. Don’t be like this guy!!! Lol ughhhh

The experts are in similar position as common players like us. Their predictions are also based on speculation which might or might not become true. However, their advantage is that their speculations and predictions are based on statistical models which help in taking the more possible outcomes. It also depends on who your favorite experts are hehehe. There might be some experts who are better in fantasy than other experts.

In any case, why is the Bills only -3 vs. the Chiefs? After a difficult game vs. the Raiders then next game is a more difficult one vs. the Bills, certainly the Bills should be - 6.5 or -7?
