    How many teams in your league if you are playing guys like Boyd, Chark, Pacheco and Homer? Yuck! Byes for Olave, McLaurin, and Robinson Jr. Burks injured. Wasn't even thinking of the 6 team bye week. Makes sense to me now. I had a strong roster this week, but my entire bench was on bye except for one injured player that was out on Sunday.

    Who you going with this week? Been doing some research this am and I'm leaning with.... Deshawn Watson vs. the Ravens Miles Sanders vs. Bears Keenan Allen vs. Titans Pickings are slim at WR now. Everyone is a hit and miss fantasy guy each week. I could change to Michael Pittman, but he's really been disappointing this year. Indy's line might be worse than the Bears. I'm guessing Matt Ryan wished he retired. I could go with Devanta Smith at WR, but I still want to stay away from teammates in the same line up. I still have quite a few RB options if I decided to put Smith in there vs. the Bears. Stevenson, A. Jones, Pollard, Elliott, Montgomery to name a few.

    The Patriots D scored 25 points How many teams in your league if you are playing guys like Boyd, Chark, Pacheco and Homer? Yuck!

    But why not just root for Fields to play well and the team to lose? Defense is plenty bad enough. Because it's stupid You cheer for the team to win, but hope they lose.

    I made it another week thanks to that last DK Metcalf catch with less than a minute left in the game. That one catch moved me up 3 places to 7 spots above the cut line with only 6 teams below me having someone playing the Sunday or Monday night games. If I don't move up those 3 places, I probably don't make the cut. 13 people left.

    NFL Week 14

    BigbadB replied to UK's topic in Other Sports

    It was fun watching Brock Purdy outplay Tom Brady all day. Of course, we are only talking about a 7th rounder beating a 6th rounder.
  7. BigbadB
    The ideal scenario, IMO, would be to have the 2nd pick and trade it back only a few places to a QB desperate team so that you can pick up at least a 2nd round pick and still get one of Carter or Anderson.

    Who’d you go with? Since none of my guys played on Thursday, I still have the option to change players. I'm still sitting with Cousins, Mixon and Metcalf at the moment. I'll review it again Sunday morning, but that's where I'm leaning.

    It's possible that the Bellinger and Taillon signings this soon are to help intrigue Senga, who wants to go to a team that wants to win right now. Those two moves probably don't move the needle that much, but the SS talk along with those moves could certainly help.

    This thread is for Arson Judge I fixed the title to say Yankees, but I left Arson in there.

    Thought I was going Dak Prescott against the lowly Texans this week, but I'm liking this lineup for week 14 King Of The Hill... Kirk Cousins vs. crappy Detroit pass defense Joe Mixon (fresh legs after missing two games with a concussion vs. Cleveland's woeful defense (surrendering 3rd most fantasy points per game) DK Metcalf vs. Carolina (averaging giving up 34 fantasy points per game to opposing receivers. I'm one of 19 remaining teams in a survivor league that started with over 2000 participants and over 4000 teams. Starting to wish they paid out to 4-8 places. Oh well, go big or go home!
  13. BigbadB
    Yeah, I didn't read the whole tweet. I have now. Somewhat related....I think Kmet has done enough in the last several games to warrant an extension at this point. I think he may end up being a really special player for this team once the OLine issues get resolved.
  14. BigbadB
    It would seem to me that they could go crazy on free agent signings and then offer up extensions where warranted. Couldn't they also frontload some contracts where needed?

    Hey guys, check out the cute delusional Packers troll who registered just to make this lame attempt at denying his worst fears. Saw that earlier. Thought maybe someone might approve that post long enough for a few people to get a laugh before Modzilla made a very rare appearance and blasted this clown to the moon.

    I made it another week. It's down to 19 people. I was the only one who went with Aaron Rodgers and Dameon Pierce. Neither was very good this week, but Amon Ra St Brown killed it for me. Of the 9 people who lost this week, Trevor Lawrence and Aaron Jones were the most popular guys they used. Every person that got knocked out this week either had Lawrence or Herbert as their QB. Trevor and Herbert both did better than Rodgers, but those guys got nothing to speak of from their receiver spot (Cooper/Kirk/Kelce). Now to figure out how to get through week 14 with 6 teams on a bye week. Yikes.

    They will be playoff caliber next year. They've been in most games this year with very limited talent on the field. The division is going to start flipping next year where the Lions and Bears are the elite teams in the division. I feel like it will be fairly easy for Poles to rebuild the defense and offensive line via FA and before the draft and the draft itself will just be building depth and talent where it's lacking.
  18. BigbadB
    I think that’s fair. Fields is a year younger than all three and has two years less experience than Herbert and one year less than Hurts and Tua. I think Hurts’ and Tua’s year 3 leaps are a good goal for Fields next year. Fields is pretty clearly out-performing all the other QBs in his draft class. By the way, I don’t think it’s generally appreciated how good a season Tua is having. 9 yards per attempt and throwing a TD on 6.7% of throws are eye-popping stats. Sure would be nice for Fields to have comparable receivers to what Tua has. May have to wait and see what the 2024 free agent class has to offer.

    My theme this year has been to put many of the available players against the Bears D. After week 18, we go into playoffs. Most of the remaining teams will likely not have a playoff QB unless it's someone's backup because the starter is hurt. Or there may be some team that gets in with a crappy/risky QB like Danny Dimes. In fact, I might try to save a guy like that for the playoffs if I'm lucky enough to make it that far. Once the Sunday games start, you can see everyone's line up and it shows you what percentage of a particular guy is being used for the week. Now that it's down to 28 people, the percentage thing isn't as meaningful. It's pretty hard to try to make it through this without using a big name QB each week. Especially now that the top RB and WR's have been used up. Side note. I was pretty excited about my progress until I did the math you did above and learned that this contest will be going into the playoffs. That's a lot of weeks remaining to stay in the top 2/3 each week.

    What do you mean by "you get 2 teams"? Do you get to pick 2 teams and get their QB, RB, WR/TE? Or do you pick 2 sets of QBs, RBs, WR/TEs for around the league? $15 buys you two entries into the competition. Each team you choose one QB, RB, WR/TE to fill your roster for the week. My other team got knocked out in week 3 with subpar performances from Kirk Cousins against Detroit and Davante Adams vs. Tennessee. The killer was David Montgomery leaving with an injury vs. Houston and their league worst rush defense at the time. My team that is still in is currently sitting with Trevor Lawrence, Aaron Jones and Amon Ra for the upcoming week. I'm probably going to go with Aaron Rodgers (we all know how Rodgers always plays against the Bears) if he plays this week, though. Which will change my RB since I don't want two from the same team. I've also toyed with going with Watson this week, but I think I'd rather see him play a game before risking my team. So, I'm looking at Lawrence, Jones and St. Brown or Rodgers, Dameon Pierce and Amari Cooper or a mix and match of those depending on how I feel on game day. The RB and WR position is getting thin. I still have plenty of QB's to choose from, but the elite guys are all used up.

    So I jumped into this "King Of The Mountain" pool in RTSports. It's a $15 buy in and you get two teams. Over 4000 teams competing for one prize payout, which is $25K. I lost one team in week 4 and my other team is still in going into next week. We are down to 28 people left. Each week, the bottom third in points scored gets the boot. You get one QB, one RB and one WR/TE to score fantasy points based on carries/catches/passes, yardage and TD's. You cannot use the same player twice during the season. It's going to get real tough for the remaining weeks. Especially in the playoffs, where you have to scrape the bottom barrel for anyone to get you some points because you probably already used most of those guys during the regular season. Not a complaint mind you. I just thought it was cool to make it to the top 28 and needed somewhere to brag about winning nothing so far. LOL.

    I saw someone suggest that the Bears trade the 2nd overall pick (assuming that's where they end up) to the Lions for both of their first rounders. While I'm not sure if the Lions would be willing to trade both of them, they have to be a team willing to move up to get one of the prize QB's. And one of those picks could still put the Bears in play for one of Carter or Anderson while improving draft capital by trading back. Interesting idea. I woke up in the middle of the night last night and Draft Day was on, and now I can't wait for the draft. Maybe it's more because nice weather..... Chicago sports isn't going to be fun until baseball starts.

    The Rams plucked Zach Thomas off of the Bears practice squad. I'm guessing he was never really was considered part of the future with the Bears anyway. Have to figure there will be at least 3 additions to the OLine this offseason. But how bad can the Rams line situation be that they are plucking a practice squad guy off of the team with the worst offensive line in the NFL.
  25. BigbadB
    That was painful to watch. Now that I live where I can watch all of the games, I'm finding it difficult to sit through some of these games. Yuck.
