At least Arthur finally gave him a sizable workload, I think he had like 22 carries.  Of course that has to do with the fact that they were up or close to being up the whole game.

People will do everything but admit it was a mistake to waste an early round pick on a rookie RB that went to a team that uses a committee.

I thought this was hilarious!

Seriously doing deep dives on peoples family because your guy didn't get enough carries is completely over the top!

I don't think there's anything wrong with drafting rookie RBS.  Often times high draft pick rookie backs perform pretty well.  Not to mention the average running back lifespan is like 3.5 years, so getting use out of them when they have fresh legs tends to make sense.  Bijan wasn't a bad pick either, he's around 10th most points scored for RBs, which could be a whole lot worse.  I agree though, it's insane the level of hatred people can grow to just off of ones fantasy play lol


Heck of a game tomorrow ladies and gents.  Cincy versus Baltimore..bit of a nice change from last weeks Bears/Panthers game lol

Looks like Ravens are favored by -3.5  Cant wait to see how it turns out.

Why is this -3.5 only? Is this because the Bengals won against the Bills on week 9? But the Bills are not a very good team for 2023. They also lost vs. Russell Wilson and the Broncos on week 10 hehehehe. Also, it might be because the Ravens lost to the Brown?

In any case, I reckon good bets on week 11 might be New York Giants +9 and also the Cowboys -11. The Commanders will not win -9. Also on the Cowboys, if they can win against the spread with -16 against the Giants they can also do this against the Panthers.

I think -3.5 is a pretty fair spread.  Just checked my sports book and they seem to still be at 3.5 spread.  Honestly I could see this game going either way.  Both teams in my humble opinion are both in the "elite" categroy.  Joe Burrow has been playing like the mega-star quarterback that he is of late, and so I think there's absolutely a chance they could take out BMore.  Wont be easy though, especially that it's played in Baltimore.

Not sure if I'll be betting this one, but can't wait to watch it!

As a giants fan I don't approve this message lol.  I don't know how anyone could bet on the giants no matter the opponent or spread at this point.  My guess is if you bet against them every week you will beat the book overall.  They can't throw the ball and everyone knows that so they will just stack the box.

What a tough game with a lot of injuries on star players, TE Mark Andrews is out for the rest of the season due to an ankle injury, we will not know exactly the severity of the injury of Burrow until later today, but the NFL is going to launch an investigation due to some allegations Burrow was already injured and the Bengals failed to report it, and finally even if Lamar returned to the game at least to me he looked a little bit shy when running the ball, hopefully the long week of rest will allow him to recover completely from his injuries.

In my other league I have Andrew's.  Just getting JJettas back and now Andrew's is down.  I kmwo its just fantasy goofball but dang it hurts when these guys go down lol.  Have to scramble to figure out the rest of your season.  This year has been brutal for top ff picks.

NFL can investigate all they want but the Bengals didn't break any rules. Burrow practiced all week and played almost half the game with 2 scoring drives. He reaggravated a wrist injury, silly they want to investigate because he wore a brace all week. It's all about the gamblers here IMO. Someone is pissed off they bet the Bengals +4.

[South Park]

Burrow is out for the rest of the season, this has been confirmed by the Bengals HC.

This is really sad, I mean the kid has a lot of talent but the punishment he has taken especially on his first and second year is enormous, I just hope we do not end up seeing another case like Andrew Luck.

I agree this is about the gamblers out there that are mad about this, but the NFL at least needs to make the investigation even if nothing comes up out of it just to keep them happy.

I wonder who in this league has Burrow? Must really have sucked to have drafted him so high, and had such high asperations of him, especially being that he just signed the largest contract in NFL history..so who drafted him? Ah yes, me.  In multiple leagues.  So just like Chubb, I've once again lost a massive player.  Every single year for about the past 5-6 seasons I've lost so many good players it's not even funny.  I can't state enough how I don't care losing cuz I lost or chose the wrong players, but losing due to injury just ruins the fun for me.

You have seriously had the worst luck.

Tell me about it. Sooo frustrating!! Well, as us Cubs fans always say, there’s always next year lol.

Edit: you’re going to kick my ass by the way this weekend. I mean you’re projected to win by almost 30pts.

[nutildah]

For the first time since Week 5 I'm actually pretty happy about my lineup. But I won't go into depth about it lest I jinx myself. Achane is coming back after 5 weeks out. I'ma keep resting him though, just one more week...

As ChiBitCTy said, those injuries are disappointing AF... what can you do except adjust as quickly as possible. Speaking of adjustments, I think its kind of interesting that there seems to be a slight correlation between a team's number of moves and their league standing. Look at the Potatoes and the Barbarians, league leaders & 32 moves apiece... perhaps there's something to be said for that as a strategy.

I think it's given them an edge the last few weeks with bye weeks, not to mention injuries.  Those mangers you mentioned also seem pretty good at finding the unexpected gem from week to week.

Speaking of injuries; my brother has two tickets to Sunday's game against the Bucs, but then the fucker got covid.  He's questionable until game day.  I'm still going, who wants to come with if he's ruled out?

I like my lineup right now but with this game you never know what the fuck is gonna happen week to week.

Some weeks its just pure Chaos and Opposite day.

I think Me and Mo are Obsessive compulsive FF players, constantly tweaking for a slight edge non stop.

[wheelz1200]

That's brutal for Burrow and the Bengals.  Door is open for Baltimore to take the league with the browns down without Watson too.  Pittsburg hanging strong which is surprising I didn't have them doing anything this year.  Tomlin is a good coach makes the most of his teams.  As a giants fan it's a race to a top 2 pick between them, carolina and the Pats.  I think with Murray back Zona will win a couple more games easily.

We should never fall into depression because our favorite teams does lack the necessary qualities to win games because every team do bounce back to competitive games and winning becomes a regular routine for them. Injuries is also part of the team's struggles, and it's directed towards the main players who have served an important purpose to lifts the team's level to all new levels. Signing wrong players also part of the factors that affects the players. A team have winning moments and losing days, that's the metamorphosis of the game. The earlier we understand this proceed the better.

Hows that chatGPT working out for you, getting that cake?

Hell yeah!!!  Why else would i drop Dalvin Cook, pick him up, then drop him again in less than 5 days? You have to be one step ahead of everyone, even yourself.  Please follow my account for more FF tips and insights!     

Seriously though, more than half of my waiver picks are simply rotating kickers and d/st, nothing special about it.

Shit start of Week 11 for me (benched Lamar and Andrews got injured on the first drive), i need Devin MultiCarry and the Stroud Boys to come through again.

I like Tomlin mostly but he is a defensive coach and in this day and age of the NFL defensive coaches don't get too far usually. Pittsburgh used to be a huge brand, but these days I feel like they're living in the past and will not be great again until the restart the franchise. That starts with the defensive coach out. Baltimore losing their TE really hurt but I think they still win the division after Joe cool went down for the year.

Likely is actually a great TE and will do just fine in Mandrews place.

[wheelz1200]

Well the giants went ahead amd screwd themselves up lol. No clue how Washington let the giants beat them up like that lol.  For some reason the giants no matter how bad they are seem to play Washington well.  Can't beat the eagles or cowboys but love to beat up on Washington. 

Actually took theor defense in 2 of my leagues this week lol.
