Similar to when the 49ers found Brock Purdy, it appears the Titans have found Will Levis as a replacement for Ryan Tannenhill. Can everyone not get him from the waiver wire and give me a chance to get him?

But this season even if my players still give good performances they are inconsistent, then one week I get Robinson with a great week, but the next week he drops the ball and the one with a good performance is Harris and this gives me a lot of trouble as I am unable to select my optimal lineup.

Man, talk about inconsistent performances. Got less than 7 points this week from Mahomes. 

And my RB2 that I had hoped would see more touches this week put up a whopping 2.1 pts. Turns out there's a reason why he was drafted by less than 30% of leagues.

So our matchup all comes down to how well Gibbs, your RB2, does for Detroit tomorrow. He's projected to get 18.42 and you need 22.77 pts to win. Which is not out of the realm of possibilities as he put up 24.6 in Week 7, and the Lions' premier RB, David Montgomery, is still sidelined with an injury.

Gonna be a nailbiter!

It seems Mahomes was sick which could explain his poor performance and he should be back and perform as usual during his next match so I would not worry about it.

And about Gibbs even if he were not to score enough to get me the win, I hope he does well since this will help me to finally figure out who is the best candidate on my team to occupy the RB2 position, also I am surprised by the performance of Zack Moss as he is still receiving some love despite Taylor finally taking snaps with the Colts.

@moon nice game this week, congrats on beating me and holding off Keenan Allen from making any sort of last minute victory ( not that you personally did, but you know what I mean lol).

Can ya'll belive we are almost at the half way point now.  Crazy how fast time flies. Unfortuntetly we've got an awful Thursday night game (Titans vs Steelers) but, it's still football I suppose.

That was a close one, my WRs didn't do much nor did Taylor's boyfriend, but I got lucky with Dak.

Congrats Mo, I thought I was gonna catch up for a second there!


Haha, sleeper app has a good sense of humor!

Thanks, GG!

I didn't expect my lead to hold considering what Jacobs and Amon-Ra did in the first half. That 37-38 point lead i had was cut to 7. I guess i have to thank Jimmy G for not being able to keep the game close, Lions only ran the ball in the 4th Q wasting clock.

Gonna put on a Jimmy G jersey tonight and chuck the candy 10 yards over the kids heads

💀💀💀

The trade deadline is over, it feels like the Bears gave too much for Sweat (2nd rounder), while the 49ers scooped Young for a 3rd.

Was secretly hoping the Vikings would trade for Jameis Winston, instead it's Dobbs...

If I needed a QB, I'd be targeting him right now.

My Bears are an absolute joke. I mean I haven't heard anything about them getting some sort of commitment from Sweat for a mid-long term contract, which is of course the ONLY reason you would trade a likely high up 2nd round draft pick.  I think I'm over Poles, he's been doing a pretty half ass job IMO.

I have him in my dynasty league and pretty pumped about this trade.  Although the Vikings coach did say they are starting the rookie (I believe he's a rookie) and then would "see how things go from there". So, if he does ball out, he may not get a chance to play.  But..we shall see.

You posted that pic from Sleeper, have you been using that app ?  I absolutely love it.  That's where my dynasty team is on and they are simply the best overall fantasy app out there right now.  I'm sure some big company will come in a buy them up and then ruin it..but it's really awesome right now.  They truly take the feedback given from the players and implement the stuff that is resoundingly wanted.

Minnesota got a great replacement for Cousins. Dobbs did a great job in dysfunctional Arizona. I could see Dobbs grabbing 18-20 points a week for fantasy easy when JJ comes back. I have 2 decent QBs so I can't use the guy, but those needing a QB better take a look.

I would recommend downloading the app and checking it out.  Even if you're not signed up to run a team on Sleeper, they still provide a lot of helpful in season information/tools/quick links to podcasts and stuff like that.


What a BORING ass game tonight! Titans versus the Steelers, talk about a snooze fest.  I guess there is at least a decent amount of impactful fantasy players playing, well a few..so that accounts for something lol.

The Cardinals got too little in my opinion, they traded for him at the start of this season for a 5th round pick and now they are getting a 6th but they gave away a 7th as well for a starting QB on the NFL, and while he had some issues I liked what I saw and it seems I am not alone on this, and taking into account what Dobbs may get in terms of personal at the Vikings I could expect his performance to improve, especially since the Vikings are still clinging to the hope of making it to the playoffs.

Football trades are weird its not like nba or baseball.  Typically all football players are "worth" in terms of draft picks is somewhere between 5-7 rounders unless you are a crazy good talent with a team friendly contract.  Doubt is a very nice backup, but he can't lead a team to and through the playoffs.  If he gets there it will be more Trent dilfer style.  No shame in that dude is making a career out of this year.  And if it didn't work out I think he is some sort of rocket engineer and was going to work for NASA or something crazy like that lol.

I am quite certain that this will be another losing week for me again hehe. However, did anyone watch the game? Does Will Levis really deserve to receive only 8 fantasy points for this week? I reckon he did more for the Titans than this 8 points.

He might also be a good replacement for Tua in the Dolphins because he likes to throw the ball very far. This will be good for Mike McDaniel's style. They also have a much better offensive line and wide receivers

[Hueristic]

The Raiders fired their GM, HC, OC, and benched their starting QB on a short week.

They are still favored over the Giants in Week 9.

I played Will Levis and dropped Howell last second on a fun team to replace Lawrance this week. W00ps

Good try but there is no way I'd play this guy in lua of Tua!

Agreed, Dobbs really is severely underrated and the Viking have an elite cast that they just lost a mid QB that that cast was elevating.

Dobbs should be able to step right in here as all he needs to do is not make mistakes and hes shown he is capable of that.

I don't use smart phones as I abhor personal tracking devices but I keep one for emergencies so maybe I'll install the app if I can figure out how to install it on a degoogled phone.

Some great games this weekend. Those of you in Europe have a great game with the Chiefs and Dolphins kicking the week off. That's on at 830am here, will be tough for me to get up that early on the weekend (I love sleeping in) but I certainly will for this game.

Banger on Sunday night with the Bills versus the Bengals.  Not sure what bets I'll be placing yet but will be doing a few.

[bbc.reporter]

Dallas Cowboys vs. Philadelphia Eagles will certainly be a very good game! @everyone, what would be your bets for this if you were forced to bet the winner. I reckon the Cowboys should not be underestimated and this is also is this the first time for Dak Prescott vs. Jalen Hurts to play against each other?

The defenses of both of these teams are also very good, however, the Eagles' defense is moderately better. I might put Tony Pollard on the bench hehehee.

[morvillz7z]

I need Ekeler to stay quiet tonight, anything less than 35 fantasy points would suffice. He hasn't scored > 30 points in any game this season, nor have the Jets allowed anyone to score 30 or more against them, but you never know...  That's two stressful MNFs in a row. Yay!  



I decided to look at Yahoo's current projections. I'm not sure why i'm at the top, they expect me to have Jefferson and Kyren Williams back, i can't say i share their optimism. Interestingly, they have 10-5 records to make the playoffs, which seems awfully high. Before the season, i thought 8-7 would be fine, worst-case scenario 9-6, but i guess we are top-heavy this season. Still, plenty of football left to be played and anything can happen.

Obviously I need the opposite but I would not worry too much, in fact you had terrible luck as you left Stroud which threw for the most yards for a rookie ever on the bench, and the Ravens destroyed Seattle through their run game and sat Watson for most of the 4th quarter, but even then my team was terrible this week, in fact I only had a 23% chance of winning before our match started and that was with my main squad, and when I saw that I knew this week was going to be terrible for me.
