It's hard for me to believe that a grown man can collapse to the ground in tears, after walking off the field and into the tunnel, over an injury that isn't a big deal. I know he's a drama queen, but come on.

I still think it's going to be revealed that it's something more serious.

He's not a grown man. Isn't he like 23?

I definitely think OBJ is bitchmade, but part of it could have been relief that he didn't die/gently caress his knee up on that tackle.

Looked to me like the kneeling down in the tunnel was more him being pissed off/scared that he got hurt, right before that he was walking ok with a slight limp and then came back out on the field without the uniform shortly after

I need to fill one more roster spot and I can off the waiver wire. I do have Mark Ingram. Who would you rather have in 0.3 PPR?

Alvin Kamara
Randall Cobb
James White (I have Burkhead)

This would come at the expense of Jonathan Williams (I have McCoy), Burkhead, or Rishard Matthews.

Take me to your Shida

I need some help deciding my third keeper. Currently I have OBJ in the first (after seeing that his injury isn't serious I am ok with this now) and DJ in the sixth (lol).

I'm just gonna post this screenshot for scoring because it's kinda weird


The rest of the scoring is pretty normal.

Debating between (in order of how I'm leaning):
Tyreek (7)
Gurley (5)
Jameis (13)
Dak (14)

Kept players cost one slot higher than the round you drafted them in (undrafted waiver wire guys cost a seventh) but you can keep your first round pick for a first so the chances of me getting anyone better than OBJ in the first are almost nil, even if I draw the first pick.

WRs drop in relation to RB, though I think Julio and AB would go in the first still. Guys who get more passes than yards drop off as well. Fitz is a notable example, top 5 in receptions last year, doesn't make the top 20 in yards. Grab a cheat sheet, really.

Julio and AB absolutely go in the first in a 12 team 0 ppr league. Other receivers as well. You're overthinking the value difference.

quote:

Colts coach Chuck Pagano said there's still no "timeline" for Andrew Luck's (shoulder) return.

Per Stephen Holder of the Indy Star, the Colts have just two practices next week and four the week after before heading off to Los Angeles for Week 1 against the Rams. That means that even if Luck is activated off PUP in the next week, he'll have just six practices to shake off the rust before the regular season gets underway. Simply put, Luck is running out of time. Mike Chapell of IndySportsCentral "doubts" Luck will be ready for Week 1 while suggesting Week 3 against Cleveland as a more realistic timeframe. None of this comes as good news for fantasy owners invested in Luck, T.Y. Hilton, Donte Moncrief or Jack Doyle.

With this in mind, I'm feeling compelled to have a backup plan for Luck. Carr is curiously still on the WW and I want to pick him up now. Who would you drop in a half PPR league:

John Brown
James White
DeAndre Washington
CJ Prosise
Rex Burkhead

Team is currently:
QB: Luck
RB: Gurley, Riddick, Rawls, White, Washington, Prosise, Burkhead
WR: Julio, Cooper, Diggs, John Brown
TE: Kelce

I'm leaning towards Washington, who would only have value if Lynch goes down. Thoughts?

The gently caress kind of bonuses are these?

A guy runs for 99 yards for 9.9 points and one guy runs 1 more yard and gets 20? My league has bonuses too but not to that extreme. With those bonuses, I would keep Gurly. Highest ceiling imo.

ROFL - If any RB or WR goes over 200 yards the game is just over.

200 yards = 45 points. That's ludicrous.

Do that quickly. Carr shouldn't be unowned. Even if Luck was healthy I'd do this simply so an opponent couldn't have him.

What QB's are owned over Carr? Big Ben? Dak? That's terrible.

The following QBs were drafted ahead of Carr: Rodgers, Ryan, Brees, Luck, Cousins, Prescott, Stafford, Taylor, Wilson, Dalton, Mariota, Brady, Winston, and Newton.

Had I known that would happen I would have never drafted Luck.

I got him in the 8th and my "starter" until he comes back is Tyrod. I still feel confident since the Bills at least should try in the first few games before they totally tank.

Besides I have nothing better to choose from...

Yea, but you probably also don't have a team doctor and various coaches that would most likely tell you not to jog around if it was really that serious.

I would quickly start Cutler or Bradford over Taylor, at this point. Buffalo hates him and hates winning, like literally they are tanking the season.

Yeah I broke the off the end of my fibula and tore all of the ligaments, completely internally detaching my foot from my leg (skin intact), and I didn't cry. Although I'll admit I was definitely in shock when it happened.

4hr surgery for the same thing. Bone was coming out of the skin till I pushed it back in and straightened my foot out from pointing backwards.

No crying because I am a better specimen of man than OBJ in every conceivable way.

Drafting Luck was still absolutely the right move. You just needed to make sure you have insurance. Luck can be a championship piece. Luckily for you, Carr could be one too, because the rest of your league is dumb. :v:

Yeah, they're stupid, but I'm not really in any position to complain about it. I think in one of my playoff matchups I could have benched literally everyone except OBJ and DJ and still won.

As a QB1? Not exactly a starter but certainly the potential exists with his line and weapons. Last year he had the second most drops, which played a big role in why he only had one Top 10 finish. Overall I would say you could do worse, but I'm surprised you can't do better.

Here are some Wentz feel goods:

"Wentz started off his NFL career on a roll, throwing for 1,007 yards with a 7:1 TD:INT ratio in his first four games. He was on pace to be a backend fantasy QB1 before he lost Left Tackle Lane Johnson for ten games due to suspension. In those ten games, Wentz had six touchdowns and twelve interceptions, and was an absolute mess. He regained his positive TD:INT ratio in the last two games upon Johnson’s return. Wentz did well with a protected blindside. He now has Alshon Jeffery and Torrey Smith at his disposal, with Nelson Agholor taking over for Jordan Matthews in a massively overhauled receiving corps."
