Okay asking for some market research.  I'm still in a survivor pool that started with 1800 people amd we are down to 31.  I have the bills but might want to save them.  2 other teams I'm looking at is the redskins...yeah the redskins.  And Cindy playing the browns.  All 3 very winnable games.  Which one would you guys take.  I'm leaning bills.  They are home against a team who runs out will Levi's under center lol.

Bills over Titans certainly seems like a lock, but you never know.  Funny enough @Hhampuz was in a survivor pool a few years back where the Bills had just been god awful for a bit of time, and he was asking "okay now who's a lock for this week, like no chance they'll lose".  It was an easy answer for me, I don't remember who they were playing but they were good enough where they had already penciled in a W.  Well, guess who won.  It set some sort of record for most unexpected loss in like the modern era or some shit like that.  So..ya never know lol Butt.

Washington should certainly be taking home the W but they are getting a bit better and better with Dalton under center opening up Dionte and Chubba to be legit.  Now Cincy should be a lock.  Burrow is balling out, Higgens is back and doin well..I think they are just as much a lock, despite a solid D.  Plus Ford probably out, though Chubb being back, gunna be on a limit count.

Yeah those were my other 2.  Bills play new England later in the year so was thinking of saving them.  Washington shoukd be a lock but I hate saying that with rookie quarterbacks so I'm staying away.  Cincy is a wildcard and they have burned a ton of people already.  Sucks because we are down to like 30 people and this is typically the story of my life...so close lol.  Probably going to lean on the bills.  They are home and will Levi's is a dumpster fire right now.  Thanks for the talk through.  If I last minute deviate I will report it here lol.

I'd shoot my shot with Washington. Daniels has been absolutely electric and while the Panthers have put up some points since switching to Andy Dalton as QB, they are not enough defensively to handle Daniels and the high powered Washington offense. Might as well use them up while they're taking on a easy opponent.

Best fantasy year of my career and I'm in 7 leagues which I think might be the most leagues I've ever been in at once, or close to.  Last nights Tampa Bucs vs Balt Ravens really fd me hard in pretty much every league I'm in.  I've got either Evans or Godwin or both in every single league I'm in.  Not to mention all of the others injuries I've had outside of them.  I don't mind losing because I didn't pick the right players and what not, but losing due to injury is just PAINFUL.  Of course I'm concerned about their health and the Bucs were killing it with those two..now, no chance.  Godwin is certainly season ending, we shall see with Evans.

I missed Godwin’s injury as I switched channels when the score was 34-10 in favor of the Ravens, but I cannot really understand what was Coach Todd Bowles thinking? Evans went down during the first half and the game was for all purposes lost before the end of the 4th quarter, he should have sit down his stars, accept the loss and move on, especially when the score was 41-18 with only 6 minutes remaining on the clock, now what seemed like a great season for the Buccaneers is basically a disaster, since you cannot find two receivers that are nowhere near as good as Godwin and Evans that could replace them before the trade deadline.

that sucks bad!

I've got him and evans on some teams and the Bucks looked like contenders and now will be lucky to make the playoffs.

Godwin has been having alot of bad luck on the injury front the last few years.

5 of us tied for LAST!!!

I'm not coming in last boys so put your game faces on!

I feel like this year has been the most brutal with injuries of the top players.  Maybe it's just recency bias but dam.  Season changes so quickly from one Sunday to the next

Rough year for a lot of players in the NFL. Those who have the 49er players on their fantasy team have taken the worst hits, but I think we all have had some bad luck. Some just worse than others. Waiver claims are probably an all time high this season for all of us.

It appears that I should have joined for this season. I might be doing much better than what I would have expected hehehehe.

On the Vikings, why are they only -3 against the LA Rams? They should certainly be -6 esepcially the type of loss they received from the Lions on week 7? This is their injury report, however, someone in this thread might know who are the important injuries for this team. I only know their quarterback, the widereceiver and the tightend hehe.

WFT!  You're right.  I thought I had that shit locked up.  But, it looks like I'm on a two-game win streak.  I even beat the high-flying Potatoes Nabors this past week, that surprised the shit out of me.

At this point I cannot help but wonder if there is something wrong with the way the 49ers take care of their players, if this is simply bad luck or if they pick injury prone players, since this is not really the first year in which they are favorites to reach the SB and their season gets derailed with so many injuries on key players.

I think they just play hard and take hard hits honestly. Other than CMC who has a history of injuries, I think the rest are just normal everyday injuries from taking hits. All those hits add up quick. The good thing for them is that the injuries are happening now so if they are in a playoff position later, their players should be near full health and give them a decent shot at a superbowl.

What a week. I got a surprise blowout against the Howdy Nabers (largely thanks to George Kittle), while Malik Nabers gave a mediocre performance this evening.

Upsets continue to be a dominant theme. Some of the biggest ones:

Rams over Vikings
Browns over Ravens (ouch)
Patriots over Jets (oof)

Also I didn't expect to see Tua back. He really loves the game, can't stop him from doing what he wants to do.

Can stop by hitting the head apparently.

Too soon? Insensitive? Yes.

There's this saying that I've heard, goes something like this:  What's the best part about beating your head against a brick wall?  It feels really good when you stop.

Apparently Tua hasn't learned that lesson, nor heard the anecdote.

Right, this is what I don't understand, you're getting blown out and you leave your best offensive weapon with a history of injuries in there, for what reason?!  Still sickens me having had him in so many leagues.  I should have known better that between Godwin and Evans there was no way that they could both stay healthy all year.

Good game this week btw, you and I tied for first, despite me beating you this week you're still handily ahead when it comes to points.

Exactly, and just like that I go from having unstoppable teams to meehh.  So fn frustrating.

Do I even need to mention the Chicago Bears.  My god I'll probably never get over that.

It only stops him temporarily. But given that Brett Favre recently said he's suffering from Parkinson's disease - extremely advanced onset - you'd think maybe he'd just want to ride off into the sunset with his millions.

The consequences of repeated head injury are severe. For example, if you get enough concussions, you may just go on to do something like appear at a rally with Donald Trump. Hey-o!

Last place again!!!

NNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOoooooooooooooooooooooooooooo ooo..................

[bbc.reporter]

What place is Eli-2 Brady-0 and how is his first pick Justin Jefferson? I reckon the Vikings' weaknesses might be beginning to be shown, however, they can win against teams similar to the Jaguars, the Titans and the Bears. Justin Jefferson might gather many points in these games hehehe.

In any case, I am very much shocked on NFC east. The Redskins are leading after 8 weeks. What does this imply about the Cowboys? The Ravens also, it is another disappointment they are only 3-4 after 7 games. There is an abnormality on these games' outcomes hehehhe. This might be also why there were 5 people tied on last place.
