Didn't even get to the field goal range?

Right!

Unbelievable!

Holy shit been busy and not watching, FUCKING Raiders gonna sink me!

Fucking RAIDERS !!!!!!

LAST place Fucking Rushing Raiders !!!!!!!!!!!!

Karma...

And these are the guys I'm passing on this year.

    Josh Jacobs

LOL, to be fair hes been pedestrian all year until today. I took a hard pass on all Raiders cause Carr sucks sweaty balls sacks.

Also I posted that list so that so I can go back at the end of the season and see how it turned out.

King Henry delivered today for sure...

So did CMC, they have him throwing the ball now (not watching the game just saw the scoring details). Enough of this basketball shit, what happened to running backs RUNNING LOL

I saw the highlights. It was a very beautiful throw to Brandon Aiyuk for the touchdown.

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=6KhCmRYS8E4

I am very lucky for picking him instead if Jonathan Taylor.

I have a couple of players that I can trade if anyone's interested:

Dallas Goedert - top ~5 tight end I think
Kirk Cousins - might be a decent backup QB for a bye week, did well for me

I'm looking for WRs and/or RBs that are better than what I have... not a particularly high bar so hit me up. Not sure how trades work on Yahoo, I guess you can make an offer through there somehow.

I would like to trade Tyler Lockett for Dallas Goedert but can you wait after week 9? I will be lacking on starters for week 9 and I will need Lockett once before trading him with someone or in the waiver wire.

I can trade Amari Cooper or Brandon Aiyuk , only after week 11. Week 11 will be the other difficult week for me.

Don't worry, week 9 you got a Chump match.


Edit: Damn looks like the Bengals went on bye a week early !

I don't think I've ever seen a team go for 2 as the first score of a game

[bbc.reporter]

@Hueristic. Hehehe the projection does not tell me that my week 9 will be a chump match. You will be +5 points or more ahead when you get your replacement for Kittle. I got lucky vs. the Mooncoiners already. I am quite certain that I will not get this lucky again.

Also yes, I stopped watching when it went 0-18 and Amari with only 4 fantasy points.

@suchmoon. Do not give him Goedert hehhehehe.

LOL, I think he's more worried about you than me.

Due to the weird 10-team scheduling I will not have to play against bbc.reporter again (not until playoffs if I get that far) but I will have to play against you, so not sure what the trading "strategy" should be

Yeah that was a bit odd but they certainly knew what they were doing.

Congrats on a well-deserved W.

I'm now realizing the main problem with trying to draft players that have high projected PPGs: they have huge expectations placed on them, and not much room for even huger performances. For instance, Josh Allen is regularly forecasted to get 30 pts per game -- there's a much higher chance of him only getting 20 pts than 40 pts.

I think that makes sense.

Well we know Jacobs will have a career day again against me.

Congrats on a well-deserved W.

Thanks man!

Close Match.

[South Park]

Here are the highest scores posted before this week:

Bombay Bengals 171.48 Week 1
Saylor Jerkers 171.32 Week 2
Moon Coiners 165.80 Week 4

Taco 180+ Week 8  Cya...

Congrats on the win and the new record on our league, wheelz1200 simply had bad luck, they scored the third highest total and still lost, and I know how discouraging this can be as the same happened to me on week two against the Saylor Jerkers.

Edit: Damn looks like the Bengals went on bye a week early !

It is rare but after the flag against the Bengals the football was placed on the one yard line, and with Chubb on their team it made sense they went for two under those circumstances.

Ahh, thx for the recap, I took a piss after the touchdown and when I came back they were replaying the 2 pointer and I was thinking...WTF!!!

Makes sense now.


@Suchmoon, you made an interesting point on Eno. I'm of 2 minds on him and one is that he is going to take Connors job. I'm trying to decide whether I like him or Brian Robinson Jr for the rest of the season.

Also I find it amusing that we are of similar minds on alot of players as you have 3 guys on your team I drafted and cut (under duress due to bench space caused by injuries).

[bbc.reporter]

@suchmoon. Do not give him Goedert hehhehehe.

LOL, I think he's more worried about you than me.

However, I am most worried about you for week 9 because I do not have McCaffrey and if you get Goedert, I lose hehehe.

In any case, there are some important trades that have occured before the deadline that might affect your fantasy teams. Chase Claypool to the Bears and Jeff Wilson to the Dolphins. Hockenson was also traded to the Vikings. I am not quite sure if this is good for my fantasy team because they have Justin Jefferson who gets much of the targets.

Meh, I may just run without a TE.

Yeah we do get some of the same players and I'm quite sure you snatched a few off the wire right before me. But no, you can't have Jacobs

I had Conner (and Edmonds) last year, kinda accidentally/unplanned, and he hauled in some serious pointage for me. Perhaps I'm being sentimental LOL but I think he's still the top RB for Cardinals. Although Eno sure had a good run (no pun intended) in his absence.

I have no clue why I got Latavius off waivers and dropped Eno??

I do think Latavius will take lead from Melvin and thats why I cut him.

I think I got my teams mixed up dammit.

I wanted my waiver to raise this week so was pretty surprised when I signed on and saw that!

I was planning on doing that this week after waivers depending on Connor news, now I remember.

I had the page saved but wasnt going to submit it until during the week...shit.

welp if thats my worst mistake this week I can live with it!

[suchmoon]

Yeah it's a gamble but I'm kinda forced to bet on the opposite here. I'm so thin on RBs now that Henderson is apparently on McVay's shitlist ("breathing issue" LOL) - even had to put Goedert in flex for this week...

Keenan Allen is going to be out this coming? Mike Williams is already ruled out for like a month or something like that.  Obviously doesn't effect me in any way for this league, but one of my other leagues I have Herbert and if both Allen and Williams are out I've now got the tough decision between Herbert and Tua.  I would go Tua without hesitation if he had a good matchup but doesn't. 

Speak of, I've got Tua in our league as well as Burrow.  I am more than willing to trade Tua if anyone is in need of a QB.  I think it's obvious his upside is huge.  Would be willing to pair with a WR or RB for a WR or RB upgrade for my end of the deal.  Just throwing this out there.  Hell, I'd even consider trading Burrow, why not.

You should check and consider again hehe. The projections for week 9 has increased for my team and for your team, it has a small projection dump.

@ChiBitCTy. You made a good choice in getting Nyheim Hines from the waiver wire! I also tried to get him after seeing that he was traded to the Bills. He might be more favored to get more touches?

This might be his week as S. Barkley has his bye week and save Josh Allen the rest of my team isn't looking too great.. What happened. No IRs yet I've fallen quite a bit after such an auspicious start.

I like what Yahoo says about Cooper Kupp, although it isn't good for my team:

He's reportedly dealing with a low-ankle sprain and is tentatively expected to play through it this week against the Bucs. Kupp is all the Rams have on offense.

 

 

My my how much things can change between Super Bowls.

Lost 4 bets in a row so I won't have a call for this Thursday's game, lol.

Seems like a waste of perfectly good DOGE to throw into my account at the moment.
