Me and Hueristic also in a tight battle after our quarterbacks competed in a throwing picks contest earlier today. I'm glad to say that i won that game with three. One week you go for three rushing touchdowns and the next for three interceptions, at least Hurts didn't throw a fourth, he was very close at the end...

Yeah, I decided I bad an open roster slot so I'd give covid cam a shot as he owes me and Burrows has been lack luster lately and of course burrows Balls Out and runs his first TD in for the first TD of the day just to shove it in my face!

I also read Rogers was a last minute scratch so pulled my GB guys and then Bam Rogers started! WTF

Either way fun match I need Kareem to put up like 8 more points than hollywood so doesn't look good.

Lamar with under a point in the first half gg, how many picks again???  Lol and i was complaining about Hurts.

I was wondering why you'd start Hunt over D. Adams. You've got so many points left on the bench, i feel for you...and Thielen.

Not sure what to expect in the second half with so many turnovers on both sides, we'd be lucky to get a single touchdown rest of the way. Not a good game!

Funny I thought I had Thielen in and forgot i pulled him and dropped hunt in as a desperation play when I pulled the GB guys. Figured he had higher upside than Thelein. I was obviously very wrong!

The winless Lions with Goff starting at QB vs. the Red Rifle, lol i can barely hide my excitement for this matchup...at least the Lions used to have Stafford, now it's just Dan Campbell's emotional post-game pressers. 

Taco, Maddogs, and Tamalpais Temptations fighting for the last two playoff spots currently sitting at 6-5, needless to say, whoever loses this week will put themselves in a very tough position, so good luck everyone!

Well since Psychotics are starting D. Mooney, i say Marquise Goodwin (hope the shoulder injury won't bother him) will score one of the two touchdowns that the Bears will have, Monty will likely be the other one to feast today.

Happy !

Where is Nutildah Jones? He is my opponent for this week and it appears that he might have left. He has 2 players on bye week but he has not changed to place active players in their starting slots. This is strange if he left without telling us. I hope that he is not sick. This coronavirus is beginning to mutate and making vaccinated people also sick.

FYI for you guys that don't know.

You can go ahead weeks and pull your guys that are on bye and put other guys in for those weeks.

Just remember to go to the next week and change them back.

Basically you can set your roster for the rest of the season at any time, just hit the Set Lineup arrows above your roster to scroll through the weeks..

Ugh... I think that's 4 interceptions so far.

Luckily I can afford to lose this match but this is looking even worse than I expected. Congratz to wheelz, sorry I couldn't put up more of a fight

It's a 2fer.  Got the game locked up and the giants whooped the eagles azzzzz.  Listen giants going 9-8 is still in play 😂

But seriously as long as the giants beat the eagles again and the cowboys all good.  They can lose to everyone else.  Shattered eagle fans hope of sliding into playoff contention.  Next week at Miami and the giants can be 5-7...just saying

Look at the bright side, it is true the coach and the GM must be fired, and if anything the win against the Lions just bought them enough time to finish this season when a defeat there could have been the last straw which made the owners fire them and be ahead of most of the other teams when it came to hiring a new coach and GM, however the Bears have Fields, he is a rookie but I like some of the things I see from him, with the right coach he could really shine, so the job as the Bears coach and GM should be attractive, maybe the Bears could get Eric Bieniemy as a Head Coach and give Fields a chance to shine with someone that knows what they are doing.


nutildah has not updated his roster yet, I hope he is OK and he is just busy and it is not something related to a health issue.

Honestly I don't think bieniemy is as good as people give him credit for.  That kc offense was/is loaded.  I'd rather take a guy with a team that wasn't expected to be good and got everything out of them.  You honestly don't know what Birney could do without mahomes, kelce, hill, etc. 

You have a point, the guy has basically 3 HOF players at his disposal on their prime, so this helps him out immensely and allows him to design plays most teams cannot implement, but at the same time I think the guy has earned the chance to show what he can do as a HC without them, and the Bears or another team with a good rookie QB seems like a good option for him.

That second quarter was a farse, it looked more like a parody than a football game.  And the Browns...  all those picks just to give them back, lol.

Don't forget WFT.  The Giants looked foolish last Monday night, but if they can get their shit together they do have a chance of winning the division.  Their one step closer now.  

It was a good Sunday for me too.  The Niners helped themselves, and even helped the Temptations by keeping Cousins in check (sorry South Park.)  I hate to be the bearer of bad news, suchmoon; the scuttlebutt is that Deebo Samuel is out for at least a week.  That's going to hurt going to Seattle next week.

[suchmoon]

Deebo Samuel is out for at least a week

Yeah, well, my luck had to run out at some point

[Hueristic]

Anyone wanna trade for CMC?

[wheelz1200]

Anyone wanna trade for CMC?

Yeah that's a rough one.  Henry now cmc out for the year #1 and #2, and #3 cook (my guy) out with a dislocated shoulder.  Fantasy football is brutal just as your squad looks good injuries pile up.  Wonder where cmc goes in the draft next year seeing these last 2 years screwd ff owners.

Your team is pretty well stacked and you seem to have the most consistent results.  If there were Vegas odds on you taking the title, I think that would be the safest bet.

Anyone wanna trade for CMC?

Hahahahaha!  No way, Jose.  Sorry bro, I love you, but not enough to trade Cordarrelle Patterson for a broken CMC.  CP is my ace in the hole.

Two words: Jonathan Taylor.

Bucs (allegedly top rush defense) were barely able to slow him down, and he plays average rush defense teams in weeks 15 and 16. So I think we just need to give the money to wheelz now and avoid the humiliation

I'm all in favor of avoiding humiliation, but it's too late for me.

Tell me about it.  I don't need to tell you how much I've had to deal w/injury wise this year but I really can't cry too much as most fantasy players have been dealing with heavy injury issues.  Personally for me I'm putting CMC around the 5th or 6th off the board.  I'm taking Henry, Jonathan Taylor, Mixon, Cook and maybe one or two others before I take CMC..though if I had faith he could actually remain healthy I'd take him 2nd or 3rd.

Trying that reverse jinx noooooo. Take it back take it back

Honestly JT might be a coin flip for 1st pick next year.  As long as colts coaching stays the same they feature him too much to not be draft top 2 at least for me.  He was a good surprise and Gibson I thought would have taken a bigger step but he has been stuck with Heineke all year.  He looked good against Seattle last night though

Funny, I thought Gibson looked like he was just going through the motions, no extra effort at all.

Desperate times - desperate measures. Voodoo next on the list.

Drafting Barkley with my first pick for the second year in a row has been nothing short of a nightmare. I'm not going full retard and drafting him next year. McCaffrey is a strong pass, i won't be surprised if he drops out of the first round.

With so many injuries and missed games, i decided to see how our first-round picks are performing so far throughout the first 12 game weeks. You can't really complain if your guy has brought you more than 100 fantasy points. In terms of games played, fpts/g, and total fpts, N. Harris appears to be the most consistent one.

You may want to look at how many points they got you in the games they got injured for a better understanding of how hard they boned you rather that the total they produced.
I know both CMC injuries happened right away costing me those 2 weeks, not sure about the others.
Yeah, I learned to stay away from Barkley years ago.

I knew the production of Henry was out of this world but seeing it in this format shows how dominant he was, it was as if you could start an additional player, and unlike CMC or Barkley which could drop out of the first round during the next draft, Henry will be the clear first pick next year, at least on the standard format as I think his injury had a lot more with the Titans relying too much on him when the opposite should have been the case as they should have taken care of him so he was ready for the postseason, and now that Tannehill has to carry the team we can see he is average at best.
