It appears someone got to my priority targets in the waiver wire first before me hehehe. Who got Geno Smith and Taysom Hill? We should start accepting the reality that Geno Smith is more than an average quarterback. It might be only for this season, however, he is a good addition.
Also, there are rumors that the Panthers might be trading some of their players after firing Matt Rhule. The rumors also say that the Buffalo Bills are asking about McCaffrey. The Bills are known to have interest on McCaffrey during the offseason.

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.

What a weekend of games, it started out with a dud, and ended with a ton of excitement. That was a fun game last night, and it didn't hurt that my QB was battling South Park's kicker, lol. Congrats to all this week's winners, BTW.
LOL, if I am honest I was really worried about losing against Mahomes, I think you needed 34 points to tie the game but the guy can easily score 40 out of nowhere, the worst scenario for me was for the Chiefs to get way ahead of the Raiders and then when they were in distance for a FG they will decide to go for it on 4th and short, fortunately for me the opposite happened and the Raiders were the ones which took the lead and allowed me to get the W.Also have you guys noticed the Bombay Bengals are the second highest scoring team on the league and they are only 2-3? I have not noticed until now since I have been avoiding looking too much into that team since they destroyed the Q/Cows on week one but that is some really bad luck.

Bye weeks are upon us - check your rosters and don't forget to set your wire picks today 
Something's up with the Raiders only getting +7 against the Chiefs... dunno what it is exactly, but I'm in.
My new theory is that if a line looks fucked up and is not giving enough points to the underdog, then take it b/c its a trap trying to get people to bet in the other direction. Same thing happened with the Giants/Pacs game. But really who knows, these games are wildly unpredictable, which is part of why they're so fun.
Just remember that even if your team loses, whether in fantasy or a bet, you will never lose as hard as Cumberland playing Georgia Tech on Oct 7, 1916.

LOL Raiders pissed the game away as usual.
Anyway, I was worried for nothing, I got 15 points just from first downs.

I am not watching the game, but upon checking this score is shocking. 14-0 for the Raiders and it is only in the 2nd quarter.
Also, what does this mean for Christian McCaffrey? Does this change the Panther's way of playing? The defensive passing game coordinator will also be interim coach. Defensive. I am afraid defensive might imply less snaps for my running back hehehehe.
Once a hot $62 million hire, Matt Rhule fired during third season as Panthers coach
Rhule ended up being an expensive mistake for Panthers owner David Tepper. Before the third season of that deal was done, Rhule was fired. The Panthers announced the move on Monday morning. Rhule was 11-27 as Panthers coach. A listless 37-15 loss to the San Francisco 49ers on Sunday dropped the Panthers to 1-4 this season and was Rhule's final game as the team's coach. Rhule is the first coach fired this NFL season.
Carolina also fired defensive coordinator Phil Snow and assistant special teams coach Ed Foley.
Defensive passing game coordinator and secondary coach Steve Wilks, who coached the Arizona Cardinals for one season, will be the team's interim coach.

I have zero faith in the Giants, I'll be surprised if they even making the playoffs.

Relatively easy schedule ahead, @SEA, HOU, DET in consecutive weeks, then twice against the Commanders towards the end of the season, i think they should be able to make the playoffs, given their current record.
Taco Corpse V/S Bombay Bengals Battle of the week!
If Andrews does not fumble the ball multiple times in the second half, i should be able to pull this one off. I was supposed to lose between 30 to 40 fpts (live projections), but the Cowboys' defense came through again, three straight weeks with double-digit scores...incredible, this might be one of my best comeback wins in FF.
GG @nutildah!
It's a long season so playoff picture is a long ways away. Really can't start looking at it until division games are played and you are in around December. Looks like the East will be a tough division this year so lots of football ahead that the giants have to win to even talk about it. Lots of injuries starting to rack up as well.
Something's up with the Raiders only getting +7 against the Chiefs... dunno what it is exactly, but I'm in.
Me an Chi are having the most pathetic match of the week and even though I only need 14 points today, it would be very on-script if I failed to get that much.
GG @nutildah!
don't GG me sir after I was supposed to beat you by 20+ points, get great showings from a few key players, but then you out-great me, including getting 23 from your D, and end up stomping me.
We should officially rename NFC LEAST to NFC BEAST!
Eagles are the only unbeaten team in the league, Giants absolutely rolling, Cowboys 3-1 playing with their backup QB...

Agreed. It is very much 100% the opposite of what this division was during the season of 2020-2021 when the Washington Redskins was on the top only because all of the other teams had worse records hehe. The Eagles was on the bottom with a record of 4-11-1 hehehe!
I am beginning to be worried about Tyreek Hill now after speculations that Miami might also put Bridgewater in IR because of an elbow injury. There was also news of a concussion. Mike McDaniels should have also brought Jimmy G with him hehehehe.

In other funny news, amazing the Bears have hung in like they have. Would be funny if they pulled this game off.
Its about time Mooney decided to make a catch!
I have Mooney in another league and it's disappointing. Dude is an incredible Wideout but Chicago likes to ground and pound. I'm sure as Justin fields progresses his playback will too. Just hoping it's this year since I have Mooney 😅

Bears had a heck of a game despite the loss. That Mooney catch was ridiculous. Not sure I expect much of the same going forward.
Meanwhile still loosing my mind over a bad call on whom to start. I wish I didn’t care as much as I do lol

I tried to watch today's game, I really did. Unbearable puntfest. Even beer didn't fix it. I give up.
Fn god awful. I watched it just because I had money on Denver. Of course they end up letting me down. Wilson just does not look the same with the Broncos. Maybe it’s going to take some time to get acclimated with his receivers and what not but I dunno. Their offensive line was absolutely atrocious as well.
And about Wilson I think he simply gave up, I remember when he said he wanted to win 6 SBs, and while those were big words I did not mind as I looked forward to see him to try to accomplish his goal, but now it seems like he is like Rodgers, interested only in the money and whatever extra he can get while he can.
Sadly I did lol.
Man my team is way too good to go 1-4. I made a huge mistake with one of my positions choices, and like the moron I am I decided to listed to “experts” and of course my gut feeling was more than right and would have likely won me the game. These “experts” are often anything but. Listening to my hit period going forward.
