    Jets are a possible win, especially if Fields suits up. An offense our D can actually hang with cuz Wilson is terrible. And there's a slight chance the Vikings are in rest mode week 18. 5 wins wouldn't shock me. They've been in most games this year. Unfortunately they're gonna lose almost every tie breaker for draff positioning, so even if you want to look at the bright side of draft positing it's still basically guaranteed to be worst case scenario. no way the Bears beat the Jets if they cant beat Detroit, Atlanta. And MN in rest mode would be a even test for this Bears team, and its in MN - so thats also a likely loss Both those games were toss ups basically. So if GB, DET, and NYJ are all toss ups also they'd have only a 12.5% of losing all three.

    Fully committing to mock draft szn. I don't watch too much NCAA ball so still need to learn more about the prospects. How'd I do?
  3. WrigleyField 22
    Yea, basically all their FA spending needs to be on the trenches. I think I'd even drop WR 3 from the major shopping list at this point to make sure they properly address the lines.

    Last year the Panthers, a 5 win team was slotted 6th in draft. With 2 likely and possibly 3 QBs high, 6th would be a spot for a good player. But not likely to be a spot where you can do the random trade down.

    If Fields is hurt, we get to see how bad this OLine is with Simian. And I forgot who the PS QB and had to look up and remind myself it's Nathan Peterman. Could be a couple glorious hate watch weeks of Fields is injured.
  7. WrigleyField 22
    Can't believe they went two designed runs there in that situation. Unfortunate to end it on the pick then. Sigh. Fields not being properly supported this year is still such a huge missed opportunity. Sit him for a couple weeks. Secure the tank and rest him until he's recovered.

    Do you trust Kupp will be back for the fantasy playoffs? I haven't read too closely into it because I don't own him but it was a high ankle sprain right? I really don't know, but if the guy bites on Curtis Samuel, he's my 4th WR and 3rd Flex at best. Yet I can sell him as a top 20 (non PPR) WR. Fingers crossed he bites. Worth the gamble for my team.
  9. WrigleyField 22
    Just offered Curtis Samuel for Kupp ans Ravens D. Lets see if he bites.
  10. WrigleyField 22
    This is inspring me to feel out for a Kupp trade in my league. The guy who has him has a stacked team, but due to injury (Jamar Chase and now Kupp) and bad matchup is 5-5 and probably needs help getting to the playoffs. Kupp can't be kept anymore in this league next year and I can throw him some fliers to help his playoff run and maybe give me a playoff boost.
  11. WrigleyField 22
    If the Rams start fading out of the playoff race there's no guarantee Kupp comes back this season. That alone would scare me off this one. Yep, definite risk. I think it might be different if he was a shoe in for the playoffs and was just going for high variance playoff results. But to use an analogy, this is like trying to save your closer for extra innings in a tie game only to watch your backup blow the lead and never get to extras. Gotta make the playoffs first.

    Are there any keeper considerations?
  13. WrigleyField 22
    Yea, the "I'm gonna tag every Bears blogger imaginable at the end" of that tweet thread is weird. And the pepe pic. Bad vibes on that one.
  14. WrigleyField 22
    Kind of funny Klein got traded just to get waived. Ravens must have insisted has was included on the trade for cap clearing purposes.

    My last place team is now second to last place after beating the guy who brought me into the league for the second time this season. Finished second overall last year in my inaguarl year in that league. My first place team just lost its second game. But I really gotta figure out if I can pull off a good consolidation trade, after making a couple earlier moves. Current roster: Hurts Henry, Chubb, Taylor, Patterson Diggs, Deebo, Olave, C Samuel, Mooney, Rondale Moore Pitts, Higbee, Likely Denver D Bass Only start 2 RB, 2 WR and 1 Flex. So each week I'm sitting two good RB/WR (and failing to pick the right ones like this week) and rolling dice on TEs. Mooney and Moore have some trivial keeper value as low $ guys. Olave has great keeper value, but in not sure I want to part with him at this stage. Besides being able to run it back next year I could just ride out depth in case there is a big injury.

    there is a difference between learning how to win and knowing how to win. The former is an active process that can be objectively verified. The latter is a hypothetical construct and is an outcome measure of sorts. Learning how to win means not making the same mistakes, or trying something different in the same circumstance where you were unsuccessful in the past. Natural ability + good planning/practice + luck are also variables. So "learning how to win" just means getting better overall? Sure. Like getting more reps with actual WR who can get open.

    Santos today's tank captain. Hard to not feel salty about losing this one though. Ugh.
  18. WrigleyField 22
    They're gonna rush for 400 today.
  19. WrigleyField 22
    Dang my Harry hype deflated. And that sucks about Jenkins.

    Quick and dirty rules Cap utilization (as cash spending) <85% of cap as cash : tanking 85-95% of cap : rebuilding 95-105% of cap : trying for playoffs 105-120% : think you're a contender 120%+ : all in baby Draft pick usage: Trading any vet possible for picks : tanking Trading away vets older than 28 : rebuilding Trading picks for vets older than 28 : think you're a contender Trading picks for vets older than 31 : all in baby
  21. WrigleyField 22
    Yea, the narrow end of season tank (IR every vet who has hang nail) is a different animal than attacking a tank in March. Eagles went for that one game tank and it got them like 6 slots and those 6 slots ended up being very consequential. And people were maaaddd about it. But Howie is one of the best GMs in the game, so he did it.
  22. WrigleyField 22
    Only reason to tank in football is because you are in QB hell. No other time is it acceptable.
  23. WrigleyField 22
    I think it's normal and fine, but the thing I always thought was that scouting was inherently a collaborative effort. A GM can make a much bigger singular impact in other areas by fiat basically. In scouting you kind of just hope they're a final careful stamp on the process as well as oversering the vision of what the scouting process should be.
  24. WrigleyField 22
    Anyone trash talks the Bears on Twitter from now on and they're right (because the Bears suck), I'm just going to say, "Well my GM can beat up your GM!" Because that's probably right too. Them some big boys. Yea I thought he plane looked small till I remembered it's too former OLineman (though Poles still looks the part)
  25. WrigleyField 22
    No? Maybe try to play each week on matchup, but TE production is fluky. Pitts is my one big weakness on my first place team. Gonna go back to the Kelce owner one last time.
