They're gonna get Derrick Henry just to keep up with the rest of the division.....that's my prediction.

Hopefully, Baltimore beats them to Henry.

Burns only fetched a 2nd and 5th? That's embarrassingly bad value by Carolina.

reports said that Rams offered Carolina 1 or 2 first-round picks for Burns 

I know the moves, but I don't know any strategy from opening, midgame, and endgame.   I have watched my fair share of YouTube videos, mainly Anna Cramling's videos of her games.  Seeing her videos I never knew pawns were so important.   

I'm pretty sure I will get killed for posting this, lol. First, I am frugal about spending money before I state my thoughts (I know that is not a reasonable excuse). 

I know the primary etiquette when going to weddings: you RSVP and get a buy them something off their wedding registry. This is fine because they spend a lot of money celebrating their day with family and friends. Are you required to buy the married couple gifts from their wedding registry if they are having their wedding in another country (Peru)? If I have to spend more than $500 + on airfare, lodging, food, etc, I don't think I have to spend money on something off their wedding registry.  Or does it depend on the person getting married?

Hopkins would be a tough get but I think Ertz could be had for not a lot of capital

I prefer Shultz to Ertz. However, I think he will resign with Houston with a sizable raise.  

I'm watching the last season of Jack Ryan, and I lost after a few episodes. Overall, the first three seasons were good. 

I just saw the trailer for a new series called House of Ninjas.  The trailer looks good.  I will check it out when it comes out.

GM is trying to weaken division rivals. Quinn seems like guy that knows NFCE inside and out.

I guess the good news Rivera might be in play with being the defensive coordinator for Dallas, 

Well, I hope by tomorrow night, we will find out which mysterious coach the commies will hire.  

When did they start with the three characteristics of economy class? Basic Economy, Main Cabin, and Economy refundable category.  Goodness gracious!  I found some excellent airfare (which I thought it was) for my trip to Peru. That was when I learned it was only basic economy and will. Charge an extra $150 + for the main cabin so I can select my seat and have free checked bags.  I paid about $570 for my airfare, which was still a good price.  Ironically, I paid more for my trip to Victoria, British Columbia, last year.

Congrats, 

My picks weren't saved for some odd reason and I missed a week. Stopped playing cause I saw no point.  I was like 73-48.  Until next year!

This is awesome though, Rivera gone, Mayhew gone....can we hit the trifecta and get Bienemy gone?

The article from ESPN states that Mayhew is still on the staff. In what capacity, we don't know.

Don't see it nearly as much in baseball. But it's harder to **** it up in baseball AND not fix it though.

 

I don't watch basketball or soccer.

Most likely in the next 10 years baseball will turn to robots to call the ball and strike. I think they are trying that in lower leagues too. Soccer, it's more about VAR issues at the moment. 

Any thoughts about bringing back Samsonov? He  Just got waived by the Leafs.   Before he got waived he had been in a funk.   I haven't heard anything regarding how long Lindgrin is going to be out.

Dilemma of the day. .5 should I roll Pollard tonight. Dowdle is out but Detroit is king of shutting down backs, and Pollard has under performed most the year.  Besides him I have Walker Zamir Chandler & Javonte. I need (help) 2 and rankings are all over the place. I even found a site that had Javonte ranked highest. 

 

Going Zamir and Walker for now but will be on the ledge watching Pollard crush the Lions den tonight.

Ae you starting Pollard as a flex?

Got a text at 4:30 this morning, just realized me and my good buddy are going at it for the Superbowl in a big money league.  He proposed that we split the pot and go 50/50 with the prize money, regardless of the outcome ($900 to 1st, $600 to 2nd). 

 

I told him hell nah and that he should make preparations to be s*** on.

 

Please, PPR stud Fantasy Jesus, hear my prayers.  Let a young lightskinned  brother get this win 🙏

I wish you good luck!

Well seems like this week is my last week for fantasy unless some miracle happens.  Down by 50 points with Mahomes, Deebo, and Chiefs kicker left to play.  However, my opponent has Sydney Rice (KC WR) and Tucker left to play.  The season has been a frustrating one for me with drafting players, management, and poor decisions with my lineup.

OK I am still puzzled. I did find 1 ranking that has Mullens over Browning this week (good I am not totally crazy) but otherwise Browning is way ahead in most.

 

Are fantasy guys smarter than Vegas??  when I see CIN -2 OU 37 which implies they score ~19. MIN +3 OU 47 implies they score 22 in a possible shootout on turf. Last Browning game vs Pitt he got 13pts but is now @Pitt outdoor/grass & w/o Chase. Maybe Chase logging some rushing TDs has projections pushing him up but there is some disconnect I cannot rationalize. Which I need to get sorted because my opponent is starting both Jefferson and Addison so its a big factor for me this week.

 

If I start Browning I will be going heavy on Mullens in DFS to cover my arse.

Browning has been averaging 22 points for the past three weeks and also they play Pittsburg. There has been hoopla that Browning depends on YAC and that Chase may be out he is going to be in trouble.  I have him on my team and I'm thinking about starting him over Mahomes.  However, my opponent has Chase on his team. So points that he gets points my QB gets. 

Mullins, I don't know too much about him.  Having Jefferson, and Addison sounds tempting to start with though

Jonathan Tayor is coming off from IR, so I need to release an RB.  Who would you release Chubba Hubbard or Brian Robinson Jr? I think Robinson due to his injury and the Commanders have the 49ers and Dallas after the Jets.  Not a favorable matchup,

Currently, rb's with Robinson gone,

Josh Jacobs (injured)

Jonathon Taylor

Devin Singletary

Chubba Hubbard.  

If Jacobs plays this week this will be my lineup

Jacobs

Taylor

singletary (Flex)

Stroud is sitting. I streamed Stafford last week so have him on my roster, but hate playing qbs on Thursday. Only waiver wire options are Baker Mayfield, who I hate in every way a person ive never met can be hated, Russ, and Geno. 

If Baker plays like he did last week he could be an option.  I hate Thursday night games with a passion so I can understand your point.

I dropped Miami (painfully) last week to snatch up Denver. Cost me a loss but still made the loffs. Denver at home vs NE and then at home vs the Chargers.

 

I have the jets so need to decide Jets at home vs Howell or Denver...  I HATE betting against the Manders in any way. I could also add the Commanders....

According to the media, Rogers can come off the injured list and play this week against the Commanders.  So, instead, I may do the same and pick up the Jets defense as much I hate it. 

The team decided to play this week so luckily I won and made it to the playoffs. Surprisingly the three players I picked up because of injuries did wonders for me.  I put. a claim to pick up the Washington Commanders' defense this week because playing the Jets.  

My defense is Miami vs Dallas. 

Releasing Chargers Def and they play Buf.

Well, I didn’t make the move in dropping BRob for  Levi’s and of course, Levis scores almost immediately while the Phins run the ball.

I am debating releasing Robinson from my team.  I don't see any reason for Commanders to put him at further risk.    

Seeing the Liverpool - Manchester United game, it seems like Manchester United is playing for the tie.  They can't beat the press, get out of their defensive field, and play sloppy.  I am already on the bandwagon on Fire Ten Hag.  Anthony over Rashford! Really? 

So far great start! Laporta did wonders for me.  My opponent had three position players play and they did average.   Looking good for me at the moment. 

The joy of Fantasy football.  I released Jordan Addison for WR Reed (Reid) from the Packers, and Addison decided to score 16.9 points.  However, my opponent has Jefferson and at the moment Jefferson hasn't done much.  So I guess Addison should do good than Jefferson.  This may be my last week of playing fantasy football. 

The majority of my RBs are hurt and they are listed as questionable (great timing).  Jacobs is considered questionable and have heard no update regarding whether he is playing tonight against the Chargers.  Robinson Jr is questionable, and Jonathan Taylor is out with the surgery.  Picked up Chuba Hubbard and Devin Singletary today.  Oh, it's a must-win game for me this week.  Win I'm in the playoffs.
