Ugh, the damn byes. Just managed to squeeze out a couple of wins but now I'll have one top player out almost every week for the next couple of months.

Howdy Nabers formerly known as New England Potatoes haven't lost a game since Week 5 of last year. The last team to beat them...Moon Coiners. It's Week 5 and the same opponent, i have a sneaky suspicion Moon Coiners will be the team to end my sweet 16-game win streak.   

<...>
Depth and how a team faces adversity is how you gauge a franchise and the fins are getting a failing grade but at least we haven't seen any tantrums on the sidelines yet.

I'm seriously considering dropping Mosert that I drafted way too high and just cutting my losses, kicked Tua to the curb almost immediately this year.

Yeah, Achane is unplayable right now, all Dolphins players are fucked beyond repair if Tua does not come back. Skylar Thompson was terrible last week. Signing Huntley is not the answer. Bro was not even Lamar's backup anymore, he was on their practice squad, and you throw him into this complex Dolphins offense with a bunch of pre-snap motion and trickery one week in. lol  Not to mention Huntley is not the guy you want, he can't throw at all, can run a little bit but can't make a pass to save his life. He missed Hill at least three times wide open for a long TD, hell he couldn't even throw 10 yards into the flat. It was painful to watch.


...speaking of Tua:

Adam Schefter reports Tua Tagovailoa is "symptom-free" and appears to be on track to return to the field as soon as Week 8.

OH AND TREVOR LAWRENCE LOST AGAIN.

Ugh, the damn byes. Just managed to squeeze out a couple of wins but now I'll have one top player out almost every week for the next couple of months.

I just took a look and you will have one or more players out from week 5 to week 12, definitely a pain in the ass.

I prefer to have as many players on a BYE on the same weeks, it is true this means that the chances I lose during those weeks is very high, but I have noticed the same is basically true even if I were to have a single one of my star players on the bench, in that case I prefer to in a way give up on those games and remain competitive on the rest.

So I will have 4 players out for week 5, 5 for week 12 and 4 for week 14, benefiting wheelz, Hueristic and wheelz again.

This is one brutal season, very few dependable players and SP has them all!

So I will have 4 players out for week 5, 5 for week 12 and 4 for week 14, benefiting wheelz, Hueristic and wheelz again.

I need all the help I can get!!!

All 4 weeks on the biggest Blowout but at least on the correct side this time!

Yeah, you just snuck the win in this week and have QB problems as well, welcome to the club!

[DireWolfM14]

My team sucks sweaty, harry, shriveled old-man balls!  And that's not good.  It's only good when my girlfriend does it, not when my fantasy team does it.  Oh how I wish Yahoo had given me a D- on my draft score.  I knew those fuckers were jinxing me when they gave me an A+.

I'm 0-4, but it feels like this season is already over for me.

[bbc.reporter]

Man its hard be a Dolphins Fan.... the Season is starting off to look like a s*** show. Tua out, backup sucks and our third string also sucks... gladly I didnt get a chance  to watch the game yesterday, I would have started crying after seeing the score and the stats of the offense... Its going to be a long Season...

It's pretty sad to see how bad that organization is without Tua. They have a decent number of weapons starting with Tyreek, Waddle, Achane, and Mostert just to name a few. A mediocre QB should be able to come in and game manage and get a win or 2 without much of an issue, but I suppose even with Tua they haven't been the same team as last year.

I kinda wonder if they have lost faith in the coach or we got some diva issues in the locker room.

Mike McDaniel clearly needs a new quarterback. This Tua will die on the field because of much concussions if they allow him to continue on 2025-2026. It is also very clear his head is not for football very much similar to boxers and MMA fighters who has a glass jaw hehehehe.

In any case, what is the Dolphin's place on the first round on the draft picks next year? We can be very much certain that their first pick will be a quarterback.

If they were smart they would have grabbed Flakko off season, he can feed hill bombs all day long.

It's not like this has come as any surprise to anyone and having a piece of crap backup like that was just Retarded.

I think they were banking on styler but yeah this is bad.  Killing my achame pick bad.  This has been an absolutely crazy season for betting, survivor pools, fantasy, etc.  Injuries are racking up and just brutal.  The winner just might be the last person that can field a respectable team by the end of the year.

[suchmoon]

Injuries are racking up and just brutal.  The winner just might be the last person that can field a respectable team by the end of the year.

Isn't that what we say every year? Top RBs always getting hurt. Some hot shot QBs always getting hurt. First round draft picks down the drain. Fantasy teams with most waiver moves tend to float to the top.



Ok, Hueristic is spoiling the stats here but he crushed the last match so...

It appears that they should have made a trade that was similar to the Vikings' trade on Sam Darnold. Everyone during preseason was mocking this trade, however, we are witnessing this to be a very positive investment. This might be because he had 1 year of training under Kyle Shanahan's team? This might have been very much positive on Sam Darnold's improvement as a quarterback. Also, he is also only 27 years old, it is headshaking that many fans consider him like a player similar to Aaron Rodgers' age heheheh. However, yes, I very much wish Mike McDaniel will find his Sam Darnold.

Man. Its been brutal. Lost everything this weekend: 2 fantasy games + 2 pick 'ems. Glad I didn't have any game bets out.

Biggest surprises of the year

Before the start of the season, it seemed this might be Lawrence's year. Oops.

Buccaneers poised for an upset over Atlanta at home tomorrow, methinks.

[Hueristic]

This year Jared Goff now has more RECEIVING touchdowns than:

Deebo Samuel
Brandon Aiyuk
Jaylen Waddle
George Pickens
Sam LaPorta
Travis Kelce
Trey McBride
Mark Andrews...

COMBINED.

Lol, that's pretty crazy.  For a few of the it's really not their fault.  Deebo has been hurt and not playing at full speed and still might not be (though he does have 1 rushing TD), LaPortaPotty has been hurt a little, Andrews same deal.  Waddle is a product of his situation, not having a QB worth a damn throwing to him. 

Others like Kelce, Aiyuk, Pickens, McBride..I'm not sure what excuse you can make for them.  One thing is for sure, the injury bugs have hit a lot of us hard.  My team is so awesome in this league but losing CMC and Rise..I mean wtf.  So frustrating.


I can't believe we are already entering week 4.  This should be a fun game tonight between the Bucs and Falcon's.  I really don't get why ATL is -2.  I wonder if I"m missing something, otherwise I like the other side of that bet.

Lol yeah that is pretty bananas to look at.  I can see kelce getting an uptick in red zone shares with mahomes completely annihilation Rasheed rice for the year.  And to the point about waiver wire.  Yeah that is typically the way.  The people watching things happening not only theor players tend to lead.

With that being said heuristic is on an mvp level pace of changing players with not so great luck amd results as of yet lol.  Gotta appreciate the hustle!  Week 5 fellas good luck everyone.

[morvillz7z]

I just watched Jon Gruden's preview of Bucs/Falcons game, yeah some major lols.

Todd Bowles is what I call a short week nightmare. The last guy you wanna see on a Thursday is Todd Bowles because he has every front, every stunt, every blitz known to man and that's their defense. I would rather go to the dentist and get my teeth pulled out than see Todd Bowles on a Thursday.

It reminds me of my speech I gave when I had Derrick Brooks. I told Derrick, don't forget the 4 E's! We need energy, we need execution, we need enthusiasm, and we need Entensity...and I know I heard players laughing but a couple of them, they told me enthusiasm didn't start with an E, we didn't have the smartest players back then.

Biggest surprises of the year
Vikings (4-0)
Texans (3-1)

On the Vikings, very much agreed. They are the biggest of all surprises of the year. However, this might not only be because I thought Sam Darnold is an improved quarterback. These other players who are protecting him and who give him time to throw his pass are much more important. I reckon if Tua played in this team he will certainly not be having a concussion and he would certainly be throwing long passes that will be successful to his receivers every game hehehe.

In any case, why is the Vikings only -2.5 against Aaron Rodgers and the Jets? This should be -6?

The Vikings starting off at 4-0 is sure as shit a huge surprise so far this year.  When their rookie quarterback got injured before the season even started, no one would have placed them at a 4-0 star.  As for the Texans, most people had them as Super Bowl contenders, so not sure I can agree that a 3-1 start is really much of a surprise. 

The Dolphins going 1-3 and Jags 0-4 certainly are quite surprising.  Of course the Dolphins being in large part that their QB once again took another head blow smh.

Agreed I had them as bottom of the barrel with my giants fighting for theor draft position from day one.  Goes to show if a quarterback goes to the right situation (i.e. purdy) ypu can succeed.  Darnold on the jets was complete trash.  People going to hate on me but throw daniel jomes on a squad that had a decent offensive line he would t look so bad.  With that being said giants need a change no matter the change.

Are we very much speculating that this is the fault of Tua the quarterback? This is not instead of the Dolphins' offensive line that might not be giving Tua the much required protection that he needs and for their offensive line to give him a few more seconds to throw the ball much more accurately to Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle who are on the top 20 of wide receivers in the NFL? We can agree that Tua is not something similar to Lamar, however, this Dolphin's offensive line can also be blamed for Tua's injury and bad performance.
