Hey guys! I'm having a good time, what about you?

Going in to last night, I was up 10 with just my opponent's AB84 vs my Butker. Brown's TD probably would have done me in but lucky for me it was called back due to OPI and the following play I got to see what it looks like to get your week saved:



Thanks Diggs. The damage was limited and now I'll only need a field goal from Butker to take the week.

I need Alex Smith to play better than last week, Butker to hit every field goal and the Chiefs defense to pitch a shutout. Also Tyreek Hill can't do anything. My week loving sucked.

I'm five points ahead going into tonight, with my Alex Smith and Terrence Mitchell against his C.J. Anderson and Travis Kelce. :shrug: no loving idea how this turns out, or even what my odds are.

I'm quickly falling out of the playoff race in my keeper league, and the trade deadline is Nov 11th.

I was offered this trade:

I give: Antonio Brown (3rd round keeper value)

I receive: Odell Beckham Jr (16th round keeper value)

Brown is eligible to be kept next year, then he must go back into the pool. Beckham can be kept next year AND the following year.
This is a no-brainer, right?

In my league's scoring:


He's third overall on the year among cornerbacks in our scoring, and tenth overall among defensive backs.

Almost five tackles per game, plus almost always getting at least one pass defensed per game? :getin:

Is it worth holding onto Olsen in my IR slot if I have GRONK?

I'm asking cause I just picked up Woodhead and also need to pick up a TE to cover GRONKs bye.

I'm pretty thin at RB behind Zeke and Fournette and that's with Zekes status still in the air. Only have Marlon Mack, Smallwood, and Forte.

Good news Goons,

Despite me having the 12th waiver I was able to grab Evan Engram off the wire by adding a KC player because they play tonight.

Praise be to ESPNs weird player locking rules and my league having a 3 day waiver period for some God only knows reason.

I assume you meant "dropping a KC player." Heh, that's smart.

I am the grim reaper of WRs this season.

Odell Beckham Jr. - RIP ankle

T.Y. Hilton - effective RIP via Brissett sucking and schedule and now trade rumors
Golden Tate - AC joint sprain
Willie Snead - continuous RIP
Sammy Watkins - effective RIP via who knows
Chris Hogan - hasn't been the same since the rib injury, and now has shoulder in a sling
Stefon Diggs - groin injury but is hopefully back now
Pierre Garcon - neck injury via running into the Eagles defensive coach I can't even make this stuff up

who's next, i.e. the only playable WR I have left?

Will Fuller V. Sorry in advance :(

But wait, Fuller already got seriously injured. So the curse is fulfilled and Fuller can continue to score at will.

Absolutely nobody, I guess. They don't even have a QB on their practice squad. I guess the kicker or something? Ghostkowski hasn't recorded a pass, ever, in the NFL or college, as far as I can tell.
Maybe the punter, Ryan Allen? It doesn't look like he ever has, either (do the Pats never have fake punts that call for the punter to pass?)

So basically nobody whatsoever. The Pats pretty much have to be trading for someone, or grabbing someone off a practice squad somewhere.


e. Oh, Bryan Hoyer is a free agent! If the Pats grab him, then they'll have downgraded their backup from a Garopp to a Hoyer for a 2nd round pick, not too shabby

For real though I will probably play Brissett. They're going to get destroyed by Watson and company, and Houston's defense just got shredded, so let's go for another shootout.

My WR: Sanders, Tate, Marvin Jones, Maclin, Lee, Woods
My QB: Keenum (I know)

Worth trading Jones+Lee to get Tyrod Taylor? The only QBs on the wire are Brissett, Cutler, Flacco, Stanton, Trubisky, Kizer, and Jimmy G. And Bridgewater+Bradford I suppose but Minnesota is a mystery to me and also on bye.
