Speaking of kickers I’m absolutely losing my mind right now. Between Joseph and Lutz I believe they have missed 7 field goals. Not to just say this because I’m seething over shit kicker play but I don’t think kickers should be used in fantasy football anymore. There’s a pretty big movement between really competitive/serious leagues that has gone on for several heats now where they are stopping using kickers. Winning or losing based off a kicker just doesn’t seem fair to me. I feel the same way about real football too. I wish they’d just do away with field goals and after points.

Okay I’m done ranting, time to smoke some weed and calm down lol. Good luck today everyone.

GOOD LUCK EVERYONE, Hoping for a FIRST win today against Dires Brutal Team!

I'm rooting for you. Nothing against DireWolf, just need to level the competition

The closest matchup right now seems to be Taco vs Chi:



And I can't decide if I should play Herbert. I have a feeling they might bench him at some point.

Edit: well, Herbert sucked but so did Stafford so my decision didn't matter in the end but damn... the Jaguars crushed the Chargers, didn't see that coming.

[wheelz1200]

My team is brutal.  Jefferson laid an egg today and I have no faith in ceedee lamb with dak out.  No running back depth and quartback is an issue lol.  Unless something changes I can't see my team competing all that well this year.   

[bbc.reporter]

My team has been lucky for week 2 and week 3 with Lamar and Amari Cooper hehe. I am quite certain this is not very sustainable, however. Cam Akers, Christian McCaffrey and Mike Evans will need to create more fantasy points than projected when Lamar and Cooper cannot produce week 2 type of performances.

I am also quite surprised that some analysts have hyped the 49ers being playoff contenders again with Jimmy G. This game will show if they are right or wrong hehe.

[morvillz7z]

This is not photoshopped! Wow..

I had to choose/stream between Goff and Wentz in another league, guess i dodged a bullet by not going Wentz, dude got sacked 9 times today.

Dolphins remain unbeaten, yet another impressive win! I'm not sure why officials allowed Tua to continue after that play at the end of the first half, aren't there concussion protocols in place? He clearly looked knocked out, if you haven't seen the video:

Miami plays on a short week at Cincy on Thursday, interesting to see if he plays...

THAT BUTT PUNT THOUGH!!!  

[bbc.reporter]

@morvillz7z. Tua was walking on his own two feet going to the tunnel, however. Doctors would never let him play if he had a bad concussion.

Also, yes the safety hehehehe. The commentators were saying they did not need it.

There was also Tua's long pass to Jaylen Waddle going near the endzone on a 3rd down and was it 20 yards?

[suchmoon]

It looks like everyone in our league will have at least one win and one loss after week 3, which I think is great.

Congrats to Cows and Barbarians for defeating the two top teams.

As much as I hate to lose, I agree this a good start to the season.  It's great to have this kind of parity so early, it make it clear we'll all be competitive well into the latter part of the season.  

Congrats to South Park and Hueristic on your first wins of the season.  Wishing you each about 4 or 5 more, but that's it!      

It was a horrible weekend for me, with my sucky fantasy team, and even more sucky Niners.  Talk about safeties, how do you step out of the back of the endzone, then throw an interception?  God damn, I hate it when Garoppolo gets jumpy in the 4th quarter.  It's gotten to the point that whenever we go into the 4th with a lead, I just expect shit to collapse.

ETA: how the hell do I find the waiver order for this week?

[nutildah]

FUCK

Well way she goes

I was 2-0 my first week (across my two leagues)

1-1 week 2

0-2 week 3

Fuckin' way she goes



Making an impulse bet to make myself feel better... All in on Giants to cover @ -1.

Yeah that looked classic concussion wobble.  They claimed it was a back issue so 🤷.   I've never seen someone wobble like that unless their brains got scrambled for a second.

Miami and the Eagles are definitely the top 2 surprises to day.  Eagles look real strong and seems as though the debate of jalen hurts good enough will be over.  Can't see them replacing him playing this well.  Dude has over 900 yards passing in his first 3 games and has played flawlessly. 

Miami...dang, wasn't expecting that.  I know adding hill was a power move but they look like they will battle Buffalo for first all year long.

....GO GIANTS.

That was pretty bad, and didn't look like a back injury to me either.  Post game announcers said that one of the coaches thought it was a head injury, but then they let him go back onto the field.  I also heard that the NFL will be investigating the incident, so I'm sure we'll learn more in the following few days.  I would venture to guess that Tua won't be in the line up this coming weekend.  If I'm guessing right that it's a head injury, protocol will keep him sidelined for at least a week.

That is surprising stuff, I doubt anyone would have guessed that Miami would be the only undefeated AFC team going into week 4, or that the only undefeated teams in the NFC would both be from Eastern division.  I don't see the Cowboys winning tonight's game, so I'm expecting (and rooting for) the Giants to continue their streak.  It's always nice to see games being so unpredictable, it makes for a much more competitive and fun season.  The worst thing is when a team just runs away with it.  Unless that team is the 9ers, of course.  That wouldn't be bad.

W0w, Great week guys!

Congrats Southpark, we both really needed this win!

BBC, your really shining congrats as well!

Hopefully we can keep it close without anyone running away this season.

LOL, Kinda thought this would happen so grabbed Philly's D but had to play a Redskins WR due to Keenan screwing me again.

Yup redskin...Deal with it!

[morvillz7z]

I need three sacks and a turnover from the Cowboys' defense tonight and also keep the Giants away from scoring more than 27pts.

Jones has 1x fumble and an interception in those first two games, has also been sacked 8 times....just 5 points, pretty pleaaase! Let's go Big D! 

LOL, Kinda thought this would happen so grabbed Philly's D but had to play a Redskins WR due to Keenan screwing me again.

Not looking good for any of us who have Chargers players in their squads, especially the left tackle going down. Herbert is literally a hit or two from not playing at all. I wish he didn't play on Sunday. I mean just look at all the injuries they have:

source: https://twitter.com/danielrpopper/status/1574446756909023236

So to recap for #Chargers...

• QB: fractured rib cartilage
• All-Pro center: knee injury
• All-Pro LT likely to miss season with torn biceps
• No. 1 receiver has strained hamstring
• Top pass rusher has groin injury
• Top CB not responding as expected from ankle surgery

PS. Russ is perma cooking on my bench, Broncos offense is such a mess right now. I'm either streaming QBs the rest of the season or looking for a trade or something...idk

Yeah, I benched Connors this week and now I'm benching Ekeler  (couldn't talk myself into benching both this week) on my other team. At least I have Gordon sitting on the bench.

AFA QB's well Kirk is pretty good for his floor and pretty dependable middle to upper of the mid tier. If you didn't grab an early QB it really drops off after the first 5, thats why I was hoping no-one would target Hurts as well. I got a bargain on him.

If I had to stream a QB off our wire right now I think I'd go Brissett for the highest floor but I would stick with Cousins in your spot.

For upside, Goff could have a great game but also he could put up single digits, I doubt he will do inbetween.

Giant fan here so I hope none of that happens but I'm also a realist so you shoukd see some of those happen.  Fumble recovery probably over an interception but the Dallas d is good enough to get in on the giants line which struggles at times pass protecting.  It's prime time and at giant stadium though so who knows what happens

You should have asked for a blocked field goal.

Lol, don't ask and ye shall receive anyway.

Watching the game with Payton and Eli is funny, they make it hard not to root for the Giants.  Even if it's mostly rooting against the Cowboys.

That offensive pass interference penalty that drove the Giants back to 3rd and 23 was BS.

[bbc.reporter]

@DireWolfM14. I am also watching the game and I am presently getting worried already hehehe. The Bombay Bengal's projected points is only 3 points away from my total fantasy points for week 3. It is very clear that another touchdown from Saquon or Elliot will give him the win for this week.

Also, if this goes to overtime, I will lose week 3.

[South Park]

I watched that game and honestly I could not believe my eyes, the Bills should have won that game easily and yet they committed so many mistakes the Dolphins somehow found a way to win, now about Tua, I really hope there is an investigation because it is obvious this was not a back problem and the Dolphins are trying to cover it up.

W0w, Great week guys!

Congrats Southpark, we both really needed this win!

BBC, your really shining congrats as well!

We really needed it, going 0-3 would have been a disaster for any of us, and bbc.reporter is really crushing the league at the moment with Lamar playing so well, however I will admit that it worries me as he is obviously trying to show his value and get a better contract, but if he is not careful this could result in an injury.

I was planning on benching Ekeler on week 4 but the LAC are facing Houston, if they cannot run the ball on Houston of all teams then I will be forced to bench Ekeler for some time, fortunately for me I went RB heavy during the draft or right now I will be in deep trouble with my first round pick not being as productive as I thought he would be.
