I am against a very good team on week 3. The Mooncoiners! You might have this season’s MVP with Lamar, however, he cannot play when he is 100 years old like Brady hehehe.

Ah yes, the battle for the division lead... I think. Not sure exactly how tiebreakers work here.

Anyway, Lamar is quite volatile, he can easily bust even against the Lions, and Damien Harris just got a "Q". I don't have a good feeling about this. Brady's gonna do the Brady thing, he's still got like 10 guys he can pass the ball to even if Antonio Brown is out.

In retrospect I think you should have gone with your gut.

Make sure to advise DireWolfM14 to keep Rodgers on the bench this week

I'm tempted to bench Aaron Jones.  I would hate to win my fantasy game at the expense of watching my Niners lose.

Niners D is solid This is definitely the week to bench Jones.

The brutality of fantasy football.  As a giant fan I try to steer clear of every player (as much as I can) from the NFL east.  Don't want giants players in case they suck then I'm twice as pissed, and can't root for sheagle, cowgirl or foreskin players.  But when in doubt go fantasy guy go!! Lol.

I've decided to stream Danial Jones this week, should be interesting if nothing else.

If you are going to play Daniel Jones this is the week.  Should be easy pickings through the air and he should have a decent run day as well.  The bonus will be if he can rush on in himself which provides a nice bump in points for qb.  It's now or never for the giants so he should be up for it.

Ah yes, the battle for the division lead... I think. Not sure exactly how tiebreakers work here.

Regular season tie breakers

1. No tie breakers

Basically if a match ends with both teams scoring the same amount of fantasy points, then the game is a tie and it is reflected as such in the standings.


Playoff tie breakers

1. Total Points Scored
2. Head-to-Head Record
3. Record in the Division
4. Total Points Against
5. Coin Flip

Right now the Moon Coiners have scored 65.16 more fantasy points and received 12.46 more fantasy points than the Mars Elon Muks so there are 4 scenarios for your match of this week.

1. The Moon Coiners win – The Moon Coiners outrank the Mars Elon Muks
2. The Mars Elon Muks win and do so with a margin of less than 65.16 fantasy points – The Moon Coiners outrank the Mars Elon Muks due to the first tie breaker criteria.
3. The Mars Elon Muks win and do so with a margin of exactly 65.16 fantasy points – The Mars Elon Muks outrank the Moon Coiners due to the second tie breaker criteria.
4. The Mars Elon Muks win and do so with a margin of more than 65.16 fantasy points – The Mars Elon Muks outrank the Moon Coiners due to the first tie breaker criteria.

Great, thank you. This may get more convoluted if Tamalpais Temptations wins - we might have a three-way tie breaker.

In either case it looks like even if I lose I might still get stuck with the 7th wire pick. Ugh.

[wheelz1200]

The only other option I have is Cordarrelle Patterson, who I just picked up on waiver.

I picked up Patterson as well on my other team and I'm gonna plug him in for Gordon this week.
I think I like to gamble too much!

I'm trying to find a way to put him my lineup this week, he's up against the Giants' D so he should have a good game.

Honestly the giants d isn't that bad.  They gave up one big play to melin Gordon in week one but otherwise pretty stout.  It's their offense which is pathetic (for now).  I have Mike Davis in another league and trying to figure that one out too since atlantas offense is pretty much terrible.  The joys of ff as the weeks go by

One thing about fantasy football that I learned early on was to never play with your heart but only your head.

True, its just annoying because it usually means my players are scattered among several different teams, some of which I would otherwise have absolutely no interest in. Ultimately, its one of the good things about FF tho because it forces me to learn about other teams. Every bit of extra knowledge can help when it comes to placing bets I've learned.

Don't know if you all have access but the red zone channel and fantasy football is like heaven on Sundays.  Definately watch the giants when they are on but when they are not it's red zone action which usually I have one or a couple ff players playing in each shot.  Football Sunday is great.

Stick with that.

Numbers don't lie but stats can be deceiving!  I love this one quote that I don't remember who wrote, or exactly how it goes, but to paraphrase:  Derek Carr is the most accurate quarterback in the league at passing a check-down for 5 yards or less on 3rd and 8.

I've tried, but it's too disjointed for me.  I've never thought about from FF perspective, maybe I'll give it another shot.

Daaaaamn, that's a big blow.  Sorry for your loss, brother.  I heard it's just a hamstring, so hopefully he'll be back next week.

It is truly a magical time, to be celebrated by all.

I don't have Red Zone but I heard its great if you have ADHD and enjoy consuming football like its crack.

Could be, but you're not alone, the universe felt the same way about me in Vegas.


My Big Lock of the Week is Raiders at -4 against the Dolphins. Last year I toyed with the idea of becoming a Dolphins fan because of Tua, but now that he's out they seem pretty boring again. Raiders have been crushing it and while I don't think it will be the ill blowout that happened to Miami last week, they can beat them by more than 4 points, easy.

All of that confuses me. I did not know there were more rules hehe. In any case, you have it Mooncoiners. I cannot win versus your team. I do not know why I did not pick those clear must haves such as Nick Chubbs, Derrick Henry, Gronk and others. I will certainly not make the same mistake next year hehe.

Did they say how long is McCaffrey going to be out? At least a couple of weeks with a strained hammy, i suppose.

D.J. Moore was about to finish with 200+ rec yards if McCaffrey hadn't been injured, the Panthers' offense is just built differently with him, he commands so much attention in both the run and passing game. I guess i'm collateral damage to the universe hating you.

Redzone is the greatest thing to ever happen to not only football and NFL Sundays but ever lol.  Seriously though if any of you do not have Redzone or have never seen it before, trust Wheelz and I, you need to get it!  It really is the best piece of TV coverage for sports out there. It's relatively cheap too.  I think with my YouTube TV package I'm paying something like $12/mo for it which it is part of a sports package where I get other channels as well.

YouTubeTV is the service I use.  It's packed with sports channels already, probably more than any other service available in the US.  What I find is a welcome surprise is the amount of soccer provided with the standard package, which is unheard of in TV services of US past.

I do not think that there is an official report yet about how much time McCaffrey is going to be out but according to the report of Ian Rapoport it seems that it is going to be a few weeks and that he is not going to be put in Injured Reserve, so these are relatively good news but now Hueristic needs to figure out how to replace the second overall pick on the draft and that is not going to be easy.

I should probably just shoot myself.

BTW for anyone that doesn't know, Ian Rapoport  is the gold standard for player news and you can trust his info more than any other info releases afa NFL players go.

Agreed, I always have redzone running on a separate monitor and have found it on the main monitor more and more over the years.

Vegas is the universe's way of reminding us of how insignificant we actually are.

I've only made one bet in Vegas on sports and it was for the Pats to beat the Raiders about 10 years ago and ended up having to mail the stub in to get paid. I was surprised I couldn't get paid in a sports book in Reno from a vegas sports book. I wonder if that has changed?

Do you mean the same casino in Reno wouldn't honor their ticket from Vegas?  That's weird.  I don't know if that's changed, the last time I gambled in a casino was 2001 during my brother's Vegas bachelor party.

I've only been to Vegas three times since, but strictly for the Shot Show.  Not a single penny was wagered.  There was no time, it took me 45 minutes to find the exit every time I wanted leave the hotel.

I'm not sure if they even had that casino in reno but apparently the sports books from both cities were separate, news to me.
