Agreed, but I'll counter with saying that Shanahan is one sneaky bugger.  He may have feigned interest just to get McVey to jump on Baker, lol.  I'm just kidding, I have no evidence to suggest that happened, but the local media ran with speculation about the 9ers picking up Baker just because of the timing with Garoppolo going out for the season.  Again.

Watching Brock Purdy on Sunday was fun.  Obviously it's way to too early to tell how good of a quarterback he'll be, but honestly his athleticism and accuracy looked worlds better than anything I've seen from Trey Lance so far.  Not to mention, I always love rooting for an underdog player and you don't get more "underdog" than being labeled Mr. Irrelevant.

Of course now I need to be concerned about a backup for the backup's backup.


I haven't had much interest in gambling on real football games so far this season either, but you might be onto something there.  Adams is still Adams, but the Rams secondary has really slipped form last season.  We all know it was going to happen, but I certainly didn't expect it to happen to this degree.

Rams probably did you a favor by picking him, not that Shanahan has ever even considered him, but hey...Baker is horrible, plain and simple. It's debatable whether he can even be a backup of the backup, let alone a starter, or help a team make a push in the playoffs.

Anyway, i haven't placed that many bets on the season, but i'm really liking D. Adams Anytime Scorer + Raiders ML for plus money. The Raiders are still in contention for the AFC's final wild-card spot. I just don't see the Rams secondary/corners slowing down Adams. Geno torched them a couple of days ago with 100+ yards and touchdowns for both Lockett and Metcalf.

Of course, we would love to have a fresh lamb for the slaughter new member join our league.  Last year we started with 8 players, this year we had 10, and I think everybody would like to expand to 12 next year.  Keep an eye on this thread next year during the NFL's pre-season, that's when things are usually getting finalized.

In other news, the Rams picking up Baker Mayfield is kind of funny.  I think they pursued him just to keep the 9ers from picking him up.  To be honest, I think we have a better chance of reaching the playoffs with Mr. Irrelevant.  The kid looked good against the Fins last week, there was one broken play where he rolled out to the right and threw a dart to the sideline looking a lot like Josh Allen.  He become relevant after all.


That's scary for the 9ers also, CMC has made a huge impact on our offensive scheme.  He even made Garoppolo look like a decent quarterback.

Damn these Fantasy Teams look like a lot of fun.. I dont have any experience with this but if I'm right you are using the Fantasy Football Manager from yahoo?

Would like to know if its possible to get on board for the next regular season?

The players that were strong at the beginning of the season are showing their usage while the slow starters are starting to put up big numbers.

The better quarterback than Daniel Jones, my substitution for Lamar. I was looking at Kyler Murray in the waiver wire, if I remember correctly. I was also looking at Massage Watson who I speculate might do a much better performance than his first game after suspension.

Another problem for my team is Christian McCaffrey. He has always been limited in practice and questionable every week for 1 month because of his knee.

My team is actually pretty decent right now. After a few recent free agent pick up's and guys like Najee Harris finally playing well..I won't be an easy out. I say that but it's FF and I could just as easily completely tank lol.



Better quarterback than Lamar, or do you just mean one of the betters ones that were available on the waiver wire? I've got him in one of my leagues too. Him getting hurt is what did me in, and I had a huge week in that league to.  Ever since he lost his best wide receiver, he's just not been the same guy.

Hehe yes! Lamar Jackson has chosen the most perfect time to get an injury. I should have taken my chance on getting one of the better quarterbacks when I had the chance during the beginning and the middle of the season. I only presently have Daniel Jones who is not as good someone similar to Kyler Murray who was available if I remember it correctly.

I give my advanced congratulations to South Park Cows for going to the playoff. I hope this advanced congratulations will give the reverse effect and bring more luck for my team hehehehehee.

Had my tough part of the season at the start this league!

Thanks. We should end the season now

Ok, so the playoff picture, with 2 games to go and 6 teams with a shot at it... let's start with the Cows, a couple of options for them to get into the top 4:

1) Win at least one game. Then need one of the current 2nd/3rd/4th placed teams to lose both remaining games and win the tiebreaker with that team. The best target seems to be Corpse, what with their total points being ~50 below Cows.
or 2) Win both games. That way any top 4 team can be knocked off although I'm feeling kinda safe with my points total and needing only one win to clinch. But 2nd/3rd/4th placed teams could lose out to Cows in this scenario even if they win one of their remaining games.

For HH the path is much more steep: must win both games AND have one of the current 2nd/3rd/4th placed teams to lose both games AND must gain 40+ more points AND have Cows fail in their scenarios above.

For the top teams, to fall out of top 4 Coiners would need to lose both games and get outscored by Cows 100+ points and get outscored by the other three teams, not impossible but reasonably safe. Of the three 8-5 teams the schedule seems to be toughest for Jerkers, playing HH and Corpse, and Lamar being likely out next week at least. Barbarians' schedule seems to be most favorable (Eli and ChiBitCTy) and Mixon could be back.

Congrats on being all alone in first!

Goat seemed asleep most of the game and and then went off for like a hundred yards and 2 touchdowns in the last 5 minutes. Looked like Saints had it in the bag and then they didn't.

Anyway, congrats to Cows for holding on to the win and improving their playoff chances considerably.

I was like Hueristic isn't very bright, but he's not that dumb (jk jk   ).  Man you know how it is these days, so many people are truly such over reactors it's ridiculous. Like I spend a decent amount of time in fantasy pros discord chat, everyone on sunday was freaking out about AJB not doing much to start the game, calling him a bum and dude ends up going off.  Same with Christian Watson.  Plus all these people saying D Watson sucks.  I mean what do you expect from a guy who hasn't played in 700 days.  I don't like the perv, but he's a mega star qb who will be that again, just shaking off some rust.  


@moon- you're killing it.  Rootin for ya, takes these dudes down!

Yeah and so does my whole te...


Oh wait, no, it doesn't, not this week anyway

Therin lies the joke.

What’s your beef w Kelce? Lol. Second best TE I’ve ever seen. He’s balling out this year too despite not having another star receiver to help take pressure off him.

Hahaha, Kelce sucks, only 5.60 points!


DAMN, Hampus Dropping the Hammer and taking the top honors for the week with 172.02!



Honorable mention for Suchmoon 169.10 a score that would most weeks have taken the gold!

What a crazy day of games. Injuries galore. I had a good day gambling but injuries cost me big in the leagues I’m in playoff contention.  Of course my team goes off in this league when it doesn’t matter. I may be out of it but im still trying to play playoff wrecker lol.


What a massively disappointing day for Chubb. I know Watson was rusty and all but how the hell do you not have one offensive TD vs the worst team in the league. Their D went off tho!
