TTH NFL Fantasy Football 2017 thread

[Dan]

I own the Jags DST in every league apart from ours, where I own the Steelers. Lots of turnovers in that game suits me nicely.

Cheers Ben :alan:

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

+1 on Tyrell Williams being a dick.

[Ian]

Looks like I'll be getting a doing in both leagues. Wonderful.

[Dan]

Eli throwing a TD to the only remaining receiver that isn't OBJ :drool:

Nice of Pierre Garcon to completely vanish in the second half. Even nicer of Carlos Hyde to vanish from the start.

[Pleb]

Cam Newton is trolling me :moop:

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Cam Newton is trolling me :moop:

Trolling the fuck out of me too.

Passing to Funchess instead of Benjamin :sick:

[Gray Fox]

Eli to Beckham yards/TD are hurting me.

[Pleb]

I need Wilson and Baldwin to have a solid game.

Saying that Wilson takes a fucking sack straight off the bat :face:

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Terrence West might be done for, not only the day, but for a few weeks (Achilles injury apparently) which bodes well for Buck and Collins.

Fucking Vince Mayle vultures the TD.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Rivers you thundercunt, look to Tyrell Williams ffs.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

The Chargers and Giants can both fuck off, I hope they both lose.

Throughout just my 2 main leagues I have shares in Allen (2 catches... was 0 for ages), Shepherd (dead it seems), OBJ (More like MIA), Engram (who?) and Tyrell Williams. Fairly sure I would have more fantasy points than the lot of them combined if I was out there.

I'd be happier if Yahoo et al didn't have a major love in with Tyrell. He's predicted 7+ points every single game, if he was predicted 2 it would be more apt and wouldn't make me feel so mad about him being shit.

[Dan]

I literally thought about two minutes before Eli turned the ball over 'Maybe it would be good if Eli throws a pick so Melvin Gordon can get another TD' :D

Overtime in the Colts/49ers game could be very good for me too.

EDIT: Yep, big play to Hilton then a pick is pretty much the dream. Just need Hyde & Garcon to lead the charge down to the endzone to finish it off.

[Dan]

I'm 10pts up on Fay, with Cooper, Hunt & Adams to play versus Alex Smith & the Minnesota DST for him.

Up until the Fournette TD & the real Eli showing up we just needed to cover Alex Smith's point total & I'd have been in a good position, but now the gap is only 10 there's some pressure on Cooper & Adams to not be a pair of useless fucking cunts this week.

EDIT: Thamks Davante :thbgrin:

[Gray Fox]

15 points behind but my 2nd bank of players has just started.

He has the lead with Martellus Bennett to play vs Wilson, Zeke, Kelce, Seattles HC and Texans kicker. Way it's been going I'll probably end up losing this one.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

The Ravens D getting a TD has given me some hope after Tyrell Williams and Jesse James did absolutely fuck all.

I was so close to picking up Njoku or Seferian Jenkins.

Edit: And with that Allen TD I'm predicted to win for the first time since Wednesday.

[Dan]

I'd really love it if Oakland just threw a WR screen to Amari Cooper, or even gave him the ball on an end around. Just let the fucker have the ball in a way where he can't drop it :D

Think I need another 10pts between him & Adams to give me a reasonable cushion going into the last two games of the week.

[Browning]

I'm looking like losing in both my main leagues. Palmer having his garbage time TD called back and Gurley's coming back too was fucking shite.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Officially 5 weeks in a row starting the wrong QB in TTH.

Let's go for 0-16 \0/.

[Dan]

Yeah, I think I'll be joining you in that attempt in my dynasty league.

Amari Cooper has one target coming towards the end of the third quarter. They may as well just make him inactive if they're not even going to try to get him the ball.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Lynch has probably killed me off.

[Dan]

Cooper has a reception, and Davante Adams immediately gets another one of his own. It's a fucking miracle.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Cooper has a reception, and Davante Adams immediately gets another one of his own. It's a fucking miracle.

Praise the lord.

[Dan]

About 20pts up on Fay, and my projections for his guys are 220 yards, 1TD & 35 rushing yards for Smith (18.3pts) and 3 sacks, 2 INTS & 7-13pts allowed for the Vikings (11pts), meaning Kareem is probably going to need to get double figures again for me to have a shot at victory this week.

EDIT: Cooper is going wild now. TWO catches for EIGHT yards :drool:

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Tucker :wub:

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

My reserve QB has more than both of our starting QB's combined and Pleb's reserve QB was just 1.68 points off their combined mark.

We're so good.

[Dan]

Actually did a little fist pump in bed when Adams grabbed that :D

Gives me much more of a buffer if Alex Smith does well and/or Hunt doesn't now. Up by 28.5pts with Hunt v Smith & Vikings DST.

If I go crazy with projections & give Smith 250 yards passing, 50 rushing & 2 TDs, with Minnesota's DST getting 4 sacks, 3 INTs & a TD while holding Chicago under 14pts, Kareem would need about 19pts to cover that, so assuming Smith falls somewhere between my two projections we should be looking at around 12pts being the goal for Hunt tonight.

Fingers crossed we don't actually need him to score that much in the end, but even if we do it's certainly not an unreachable target. I'm apparently an 83% favourite, but I was higher than that against Pleb a couple of times & look how that one ended up.

[Gray Fox]

Both fantasy teams winning, Eagles win and Cowboys/Giants both lose. Today is a good day.

[Dan]

Damn you Alex Smith :moop:

Find it hard to believe the Vikings won’t score 8pts, so it looks like Fay’s lot are staying undefeated.

[Browning]

Nuk Hopikins has done his best to drag me back into it in my Dynasty league, but I don't think we are overcoming the injuries to Shepherd and Clay. We need 43 points or so from the Vikings DST (the Jags got 35 on my bench....) and Jordan Howard. It's possible, but incredibly unlikely.

My main league is long gone with me being over 40 points down at this point with Diggs left to play Vs Thielen. Even if Thielen gets injured on the first snap and Diggs goes bananas it's not going to be enough.

Also lost in my 4th league, but seem to have won in TTH and the autodraft league. All told, a pretty shite week, barring the dynasty miracle.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Hopkins :cool:

[Dan]

Fingers crossed Jordan Howard scores 55pts then.

[Browning]

The ideal game would be lots of short passes to Howard that get them down the field and then when they get to the 1, constantly throw pick 6s so the Bears never actually score.

[Pleb]

Mahow has this matchup in the bag unless Jordon Howard has anything else to say about it.

Cam Newton is starting for me next week so I expect low numbers from him then :moop:

[Browning]

When you drop your first round pick in your main league for Taylor Gabriel :drool:

[Dan]

Always a good sign :D

[Dan]

Literally woke up at the exact time the game ended. Chicago you are Gods :hail:

[Browning]

Needless to say the comeback didn't happen, so we move to 2-3 in Dynasty (that half a point loss in week 1 still looms large) and fall to 6th place. A match up with Fay and his league leading lot is not the way to bounce back.... but I said that last time we faced the league leaders (who are now bottom after we beat them and started a 3 game losing streak).

Despite a horrific week in our main league, we remain 4th and just about in the Play Offs. We were top before this week but dropping to 3-2 is shit. Team seems to have fallen off a cliff thanks to injuries.

[Browning]

Just patched together my main league team for the week and ended up looking like this:

QB- Siemian and Brissett (Mariota comes in if we get any positive news, though not sure for who. Luck being out and Big Ben being old Yeller leaves us really weak here).
WR- Diggs, Allen, Marvin Jones- Not sure why Jones was sitting there on free agency, but anyone against the Saints is worth a punt. Got rid of Taylor Gabriel for him.
RB- Todd Gurley and.... ready for it.... Elijah McGuire- I may well bottle this one because I'm not sure I can play someone so high risk, but if he's the starter Vs the Pats then fuck it.
TE- Reed, because you have to.
Flex- Buck Allen and Agholor- Agholor was another pick up for this week, another punt.

This is a shambles considering how strong we looked coming out of the draft. We had Luck (he'll be back week 3 no worries), Mariota and Ben (perfect cover until Luck was back) at QB, Gurley and the obviously amazing Crowell at RB, Reed at TE and then a WR core of Beckham, Green, Allen and Diggs. Now we're in complete ruin. Just goes to show that drafts really mean next to fuck all.

[Browning]

I'm tempted to use the number 1 waiver in my main league to pick up Sterling Shepherd, seeing as he seems to be back this week, or if not... next week. The league has no weekly waiver wire (which is shite) so you only really need waivers if someone is dropped and then becomes a viable add within that 2 day period. The only problem would be who to drop with Tyrell Williams the only real option on my bench. Alternatively I could drop someone from the starting line up I posted above (so McGuire, Jones or Agholor) but then if Sterling didn't suit up I would have to start Mark Ingram or Crowell this week.

[Dan]

I’d drop Agholor out of those three. Ingram should be fine as a FLEX if needed too.

[Browning]

Just realised I couldn't start Ingram as I already have 3 RBs and for some reason our flex positions are restricted. One is WR/RB and the other is WR/TE. So I could start him over McGuire and drop McGuire but I can't drop Agholor and play him. I'm still tempted to drop Tyrell because I hate playing 2 chargers, Keenan Allen is more than enough, but I guess I could drop Agholor and start Shepherd/Williams.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

I'd be leaning towards dropping Williams too.

He's burned me far too many times.

9 point prediction! Puts up 2...

[Dan]

Yeah, probably Tyrell in that case, especially if Mike Williams is playing from this week.

[Browning]

I'm totally gonna wind up starting Ingram over McGuire anyway.

Someone tell me what's going on with that team in our league....

[Dan]

Yeah, that looks like a problem :D Not for Mahow, obviously.

Has Bruh quit the league?

[Browning]

Looks that way.

If that is the case then options are going to be limited. Finding a replacement manager would obviously be best but that could be tough at this stage.

The other option is just leave it. Everyone would get a free win, apart from Mert. :D

[Dan]

Limoutsonik wanted to play, right?

[Browning]

And pulled out right before the draft, though I can't remember exactly why.

If you want to take over the team Limoutsonik now's the time to get back in!

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Bruh having a CHIMP OUT? I've seen everything now.

He was probably SEETHING at being donned by Europeans at an American sport.

[Pleb]

Has someone plebbed it? :|

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

And pulled out right before the draft, though I can't remember exactly why.

If you want to take over the team Limoutsonik now's the time to get back in!

He was going to miss the draft and didn't want an autodrafted team.

[Gray Fox]

Browning Grab a screen shot of his team too, let him see what he'd be potentially taking over.

[Baz]

Bruh having a CHIMP OUT? I've seen everything now.It’s not good is it. He’s legit one of the nicest guys ever to post on here/TD, who occasionally opened up about how much his life totally bums him out, and yet so many posters do their best to rile him. It’s bullshit. Probably for the best that he’s “left” but I do hope he comes back once the dust has settled. In the meantime I’ll just stalk him elsewhere. :eyemouth:

He's just too sensitive for this place in general.

No idea why he's decided to just fuck up the fantasy league though.

Edit: Just seen the US politics thread.

[Browning]

Away from this topic, I just noticed Agholor is playing Thursday night. I fucking hate Thursday night games, so I've binned him for Kearse. Get Agholor in your line ups because he's catching 3 TDs.

John Brown is also out there and getting silly number of targets, but seemingly can't catch for shit.

[Baz]

Thursday wins just give me false hope.

[Gray Fox]

Picked Agholor up on the fly last week. He's a decent play, but very TD dependant. Almost all of his points last week came from one 72 yard TD.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

I'm abstaining from waiver wire action until I'm first, so sick of not getting anybody who might be of meaningful help.

David Johnson really fucked my team, I'm actually 1st place in my other league demonstrating my basic competence at this shit.

Did this week not count either?

[Browning]

Plan A) Limoutsonik
Plan B) Another new manager who can be replaced by a TTHer next season if one comes up
Plan C) Leave the team empty and give everyone a free win, but keep the players away from waivers.

Any other ideas? I'm looking to appoint the new manager by Saturday at the very latest so they can at least set a line up for Mahow, albeit with no Thursday night players. If that fails then.... it'll be too late.

I could also just set the line up myself using the commissioner tools and rankings from somewhere, but given I haven't played them yet I wouldn't want to be accused of anything when that comes around. :D

[Baz]

Does anyone post in the NFL thread who isn’t involved, if Limoutsonik doesn’t turn up? Giggles?

[Limoutsonik]

What kind of a team would be looking at possibly claiming the reigns of?Also,what results has said team had so far and what format is the league based on?

[Baz]

You sound like it’s a real job. :lol:

[Dan]

What kind of a team would be looking at possibly claiming the reigns of?Also,what results has said team had so far and what format is the league based on?

1. Shit, other than Jordy & some other cripples.
2. Shit
3. Standard, 3WR 2 FLEX

The only way is up :nodd:

[Browning]

I’m looking for a new head of advertising to replace Dan.

[Dan]

I thought the tag line was punchy yet familiar, and its optimism contrasted nicely with the bleakness of the opening part.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Get him on The Apprentice.

[Dan]

Don’t think they’d have me. I’m not a cunt.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

I'm sure you could work on that though.

[Limoutsonik]

1. Shit, other than Jordy & some other cripples.

The only way is up :nodd:

Haaaaaaaaaaard pass.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

https://i.imgur.com/4UYJESl.png

Kicker is Crosby. D's are Giants and Broncos, record is 1-4.

[Limoutsonik]

Other than Julio,Montgomery,Nelson,McCaffrey and Broncos D,i would never go near any of them in a draft. Sorry.And it's already 1-4 so no point taking over.

[Baz]

Just wanna pre-empt the inevitable and offer the following response: :henn0rz: Up the Bumbandits.

[Browning]

The point would be to get into the league for next year I guess. That and 6/10 make the play offs so it’s far from lost at this stage. But it’s cool either way.

[Pleb]

Does that mean I get a free W? :baz:

[Gray Fox]

All those in favour of Pleb still receiving an L?

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Could see if we get some bites on Reddit.

[Giggles]

Does anyone post in the NFL thread who isn’t involved, if Limoutsonik doesn’t turn up? Giggles?

Not for me thanks. I'd ban FF from the planet if I had the chance :cool:

[Dan]

TTH community team - we all vote on the lineup each week.

[Browning]

Someone from one of my other leagues (who I don't know well, but he's doing alright in the league I'm in with him) has come through and said they'd take it. Obviously if we can find a TTHer next year I would look to replace him, but hopefully he accepts the invite and saves us for this year at least.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Sounds good.

[Pleb]

So I forgot that one of my yahoo random leagues has a bullshit "can't cut" rule and now I can't cut Elliot for some reason :nono:

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

All leagues have a can't cut list and why would you want to cut him? Stash him and he'll win you the last few weeks.

[Browning]

Ours doesn't.

[Baz]

How did Bruh’s team end up so unappealing when he was the only one who autodrafted? I’d have thought he’d have ended up with the best players, projected points wise, because he couldn’t ruin his team by picking players whose name he liked or any other silly sentimental reasons.

See my boy Zay for proof of that happening. I’m still surprised I didn’t end up with Reggie Bush.

[Browning]

His team actually drafted well. Julio was a no brainer there (though I know that was his keeper), Jordy is good value is round 2, McCaffrey coming into the season looked like he'd be huge and considering the likes of Crowell and Cook had been taken before him that wasn't bad at all. Pryor in 4 looked solid at the time and Montgomery in 5 would be a steal if he didn't get injured. It seems to just be a combination of Pryor being shit so far and McCaffrey being a bit of a let down and Ty being injured. There's potential there though, but he needs them to turn it around.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

It fills by positional need I believe.

So in the first round it drafts the best player on the board, then moves to the next position.

You get dick in terms of subs (they pick kickers and defences too early) and you miss out on those dropping gems.

[Pleb]

All leagues have a can't cut list and why would you want to cut him? Stash him and he'll win you the last few weeks.
Isn't his suspension 6 weeks or am I missing something?

[Browning]

Yes it's 6 weeks, so you'll still have him for 2-3 weeks at the end of the season plus the Play Offs if you make it.

[Pleb]

Ah fair enough.

I'm bottom of the league though :sherlock:

EDIT-looked at the wrong team (:D) I'm third in that league so there's hope.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Expected league positions is clearly a shit stat.

[Dan]

Wentz on the bench, obviously. Winston to have less than 20pts this week then.

Up against someone with Watson, Lynch, Freeman, Gronk & Hogan this week, so I’m probably getting stomped to 2-4, but I’m actually kinda hoping to do badly this season so I can get an early shot at the rookie draft next season.

[Gray Fox]

Work league match up now underway. This week has presented me with problems.

https://i.gyazo.com/41da09fc00b048b73bb14458ec0c202f.png

Due to the 'unique' roster settings in the league, I'm only allowed 3 RBs at once. I was fully prepared to take the L this week, but Ertz has given me a great start. Now Zeke being potentially suspended again leaves me with a dilemma. In this situation I'd love to bring in someone like an Abdullah in a favourable match up, however I'd have to drop someone.
I was trying to sound out a trade for Zeke or McCoy through the week but no one wanted to deal. Now the obvious candidate to be dropped would Zeke, but I know for a fact someone else would take the hit in stashing him. As it stands he's gone right through until fantasy play-offs begin, but again there's still a way to delay this suspension to 2018. If he accepts the suspension now, I'd likely drop him in this league.

I suppose my best course of action is to wait. My opponent will be done scoring by Monday. I'll be behind with Hilton and a spare RB to go. Depending on how far behind depends on my move I guess. If it's a close game, I'll look closely at getting Derrick Henry or Turbin/Mack in to try and push it over the line. A win this week would go a long way to seeing me in the play-off picture. If I'm down by a lot, I'll just take the loss and move on.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Picked up Agholor in a league :drool:

I'm also in a mental league which has some mental bonuses and McCaffrey got an extra 3 points for me this week. How? 1 point for an assisted tackle and 2 for recovering his fumble.

[Browning]

I had Agholor then dropped him for Kearse... he better deliver.

Funchess being shit has hurt me in two leagues but starting Wentz purely so I could get Walk DMC has paid off.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Funchess will have his next 8 point+ game in week 12 or 13.

And then one more, possible, in week 17 when fantasy is done.

[Pleb]

So I completely forgot to start Agholor in my league with the suspended Elliot in it :face:

[Dan]

Derrick Henry isn’t going to win anyone anything this week, sadly for me as I have him in TTH & dynasty.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

I have him in one league and my only other option is Tarik Cohen.

I've been desperately trying to trade a QB (Rodgers, Wilson and Dak) for a RB but everyone is being a dick.

Someone offered Darren McFadden for Dak and Derrick Henry the other day, he also offered Latavius for the same or the Titans D for Jay Ajayi (Not sure why I didn't accept that, my only semi decent RB for a middling Defence?).

I've been offering people decent trades (I even offered Wilson for fucking Carlos Hyde to a guy who had no QB, he later picked up Deshaun Watson) etc.

[Dan]

I don't think I'd trade Hyde for Wilson if I got offered that in TTH, even now.

Unless their names are Aaron Rodgers or Tom Brady (maybe Brees too), QBs are much less valuable than almost any other position, especially in 1QB leagues, because you can always pick one up off the waiver wire & get basically the same result as one of the first five QBs drafted, even in a league like ours where half the teams hoard QBs. That's significantly harder to do with RB & WR, and arguably TE too, although they're broadly on the same level.

Kicker & DST are the only two roster slots I'd value less, because almost every single one of them varies wildly week to week in terms of positional rank.

[Browning]

Says the man who has started Dalton and Cutler this year.

[Browning]

Think we can safely write off my main league this week, meaning I'll have gone from 3-0 to 3-3. Not only has McCuntfrey gone off against me already but my WR core is now Allen, Marvin Jones, Kearse and John Brown thanks to Diggs being out. At least I have the world class trio of Buck Allen, Mark Ingram and Gurley at RB....

[Dan]

Says the man who has started Dalton and Cutler this year.

36pts from Dalton :nodd:

Ignore the rest.

[Browning]

Strangely the rankings have Ingram as a top 10 RB this week... I wasn't even considering him in my Dynasty league, but I may have to look into it now. I'm certainly starting 4 RBs... but with Bell, Gurley, Howard, Abdullah, Ingram and McKinnon it's not easy to know which 2 miss out.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

I'd leave out Abdullah and McKinnon.

[Browning]

Yea, that's what I'm leaning to at the moment. Abdullah's match up with the Saints is lovely but if the Saints go ahead big it could be a Riddick game... and I'd like to see McKinnon do well for another week before I commit to him.

[Dan]

We’re not too bad against the run (or on defence in general the last two games) but yeah, Theo Riddick should tear us up. Our LBs can’t cover so he’ll have it easy.

[Dan]

Someone dropped Ty Montgomery in that league where all my players are dead, and I managed to pick him up despite having the last waiver claim :cab:

Also picked up Jordan Reed, Demaryius Thomas & Terrelle Pryor in another league, and Bilal Powell in ours, so it's been a decent bit of waiver work this weekend all told.

[Browning]

Bilal Powell is a free agent in my main league, but I just don't have anyone to drop :(

Once I get through this week I can drop one of those shit WRs I'm having to start and bring back AJ Green into the line up at the very least (hopefully Diggs/Shepherd too) but until then I have to hope no one notices him.

[Dan]

I think a lot of people are assuming he's going to stay in a limited role (and they may be right, to be fair), but he's definitely worth a punt off the waiver wire considering Forte's made of glass & McGuire is still unproven, whereas Powell has done consistently well when he's been given a proper chance.

[Browning]

I agree, and I've held onto him in the league where I had him, but my bench players this week in the league where I could add him are- Diggs, Ben, Green, Mariota, Montgomery, Crowell, Luck, Shepherd

In a 2 QB league where the 2 I'm rolling with this week (Siemian and Brissett) are just place holders because I don't trust Ben this week I don't think there's anyone I can cut for Powell until next week when I can cut John Brown or Marvin Jones.

[Dan]

I'd probably say cut the Crow, although you're not exactly getting much more from Powell at the minute.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Welcome to whoever Sam is.

[Pleb]

Imagine the scenes if Sam wins the whole thing :drool:

[Dan]

At least Mahow doesn't get a free win this week.

[Pleb]

So this week is going to be interesting. I feel I have already lost one of my Yahoo matchups with a minus .40 point Jonathan Steward because Newton being the fucking troll and cunt he is decided that his running game was non-existent and passed the ball to an Eagles defence that read the game like an open book. Thank god Carson Wentz is finally fantasy relevant everyone should try and pick him up in your leagues and start him. Despite that setback I'm already 24 points behind I feel should heavily rely on Brees...oh wait I'm facing Cam Newton and Travis Kelce in this matchup...fuck :moop:

In my 2nd Yahoo league Agholor (who I actually started) has given me a small amount of hope with a lineup that on paper should easily win me the fucking championship thus however I am fucked because my opponent has Matt Ryan who will probably go on a tear against Miami and Jordy Nelson because Jordy Nelson. 1-5 beckons for this league and I may actually finish last in this one :|

In TTH I'm leading but only just against BiLOL Powell and this matchup could go either way that is if my Wide Receivers can actually show up for once. Zach Etrz though :cool:

ESPN: My opponent left the Matt Ryan league so that's an auto win for me then (5-1 and should be leading the division and league). In the "Suck It Gravity" league I just fixed a bye week wide receiver problem and put Devonta Freeman in the lineup because of Miami being Miami and Zach Ertz is just a fantasy god right now giving me a decent enough lead to hopefully go 3-3 in that league :cab:

[Gray Fox]

I've had Hooper in over Kelce all week due to the concussion. Getting twitchy about switching them back.

[Gray Fox]

Caved at the last second and swapped them back.

Stafford and Howard both into negative points to start with. Great going.

[Dan]

I'm going to say it now - I kinda fancy Jacoby Brissett to have a good game this week. Just like Cutler, mind, I'm not confident enough to actually put him in, but I'm expecting him to do at least as well as Carr, if not better - 250 passing yards, about 30 yards rushing & 2 TDs.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Every fucking time it looks like Buck Allen is going to be the NUMBER ONE STARTER after a great game he does fuck all the next.

Seems Alex Collins is now our number 1 again.

[Dan]

That's good for me, as I started him in dynasty. He'll fumble three times today & Buck Allen will be in by halftime.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

ffs, Rodgers being out means I've probably lost in my money league against the dickhead who keeps sending me shit trades.

All of your team for Samaje Perrine!

[Dan]

So, who's started Marvin Hall this week?

EDIT: I didn't but I did start Will Fuller in two leagues.

[Pleb]

I'm wide awake.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

I started Golden Tate in one league, benched in another :(

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

From an easy win, to a free win to a likely loss.

ffs.

Eat a dick, Bruh you fucking nonce.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Coleman doing a cunt Vulture.

Bring it back and give it to Freeman ffs.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

So, you started McKinnon right Browning? :eyemouth:

[Dan]

Baz did :moop: Fingers crossed for another fumble.

Brady getting picked & Hundley chucking a TD to Davante Adams helps out though.

[Dan]

Just looked at the dead guy league & I forgot to put Crabtree in for Diggs :moop:

[Pleb]

My TTH match is tight :|

[Dan]

As is mine, but Baz has almost his whole team playing now, whereas most of mine are in the late games. Brady to Gronk TDs are bad news for me today, and he also has Thielen & McKinnon to my Davante Adams, so I'm rooting for the Jets & Packers.

Carlos :cool: Hopefully his hands are nice & toasty.

[Browning]

I did not, but luckily at this point, I'm not paying for it. Ingram has been a stud.

[Gray Fox]

Lions not making a TD there hurts.

I'm being seriously carried by the Texans defence right now in my work league. Stafford needs some garbage time love.

[Dan]

He'll get it. He always does.

Baz has both Duke Johnson & Theo Riddick, so I'm expecting him to gain about 30pts in the fourth quarter just from those two.

[Dan]

FUCK OFF BRADY-GRONK :mad:

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

This is looking terrible for me.

I need some TDs.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Texans blowing the Browns out and Hopkins has 16 yards, ugh.

One TD (thank you Rainey) but I need more.

Edit: Big Deandre :cool:

[Dan]

Felling really good about taking Amari Cooper over D-Hop right now.

[Dan]

Baz currently projected to win by 0.06pts.

That's with Cooper scoring points though, so he's really favourite by about 9.

[Gray Fox]

Stafford in danger of a benching here.

[Dan]

Hopefully they sit Riddick too & just run Ameer Abdullah all day.

EDIT: That pick six from Watson is really helpful in my dynasty league.

[Dan]

Kirk Cousins saving the TD so Carlos Hyde can get it is enough reason for him to get paid next season in my view.

[Gray Fox]

He will, by the 49ers.

[Dan]

Why do Baz & Pleb both have to have their best weeks against me? :D

Pretty sure I'm going to lose to both of them.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Fucking Ravens DST :drool:

[Dan]

Bloody Rams go & immediately score a TD. As if Baz needed any more help :panda:

EDIT: At least they immediately shot themselves in the foot & gave one back.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

I want Tucker to try a 70 yarder or something.

HE CAN DO IT.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Wallace you knob.

Go down quicker.

[Dan]

I'd love to see it.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

I'd love to see it.

It was genuinely amazing seeing him smash 2 in on the 50 yard line in pre-match for Wembley and then one from the opposite 45 yard line.

[Gray Fox]

I'm facing Fournette this week and he's just reeled off a 75 yard TD on his first carry. I actually had a chance being down a man here. I don't need that shit.

[Browning]

My patched up main league team have had about a 25-30% chance to win all day, but got to 51% off the back of that Ravens DST score.... and then Fournette seconds later makes it 38%. Cunt.

[Dan]

Decision to play Derek Carr looking great early :D

Nice of Crabtree to completely stop running to allow it to reach the defender. Hopefully DC gets pissed off with him & just targets Cooper all game now. He'll probably drop them all though...

EDIT: Steelers helping out with a safety though. Well, the KC center helping out with a safety, but it all counts the same.

Cooper already has a catch. He's on par with each of his last three weeks performances, and there are three whole quarters left for him to not catch in.

[Gray Fox]

My work league was going okay, but Fournette storming out and Stafford lolling it up at the end here has me up only by 12.

Thats with Evans, Hilton, Kelce and Broncos HC v Fournette, Beast Mode, Brate, Jags D and Rams kicker. It was looking good at one point, but we're both projected to hit 105 points exactly right now.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

https://i.imgur.com/pLGKv8K.png

Nice of Palmer to show up :moop:

Thought I had a chance after Gronk and the Ravens.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

ffs, Winston sounds like he might be out so TTH league is in doubt again, possibly.

Just keep fit ffs.

[Browning]

Winston will be done for the year. I base that on nothing other than the fact that wherever Fitzpatrick goes, he somehow ends up the starting QB. This is why I didn't draft Winston.

[Dan]

Told you I'd pay for not starting Wentz this week. Rams DST needs to fuck off as well.

Amari Cooper has broken the 1pt barrier for the first time in four weeks :drool: It's all going to be great from here!

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Poor Amari.

[Browning]

Cooper with a big catch :drool:

Called back... but the ball found him....

[Dan]

Typical :moop: That'll be the last catch he makes all game, no doubt.

[Browning]

If Palmer could remember who John Brown is we might be in business.

[Browning]

I can't believe how well that worked. :drool:

[Ian]

Good work, Rodgers, you fucking cunt.

[Browning]

A guy in my Dynasty league drafted ODB, Zeke, McCaffrey and then Rodgers. :drool:

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

LOOK TO MIKE EVANS, FITZPATRICK.

Fucking knobhead.

[Browning]

If Palmer could remember who Todd Gurley is we might be in business.

[Gray Fox]

LOOK TO MIKE EVANS, FITZPATRICK.

Fucking knobhead.

So much of this.

He's thrown 2 red zone chances his way but only 1 was catchable. Just Patrick Peterson was there.

[Browning]

A run for no gain. :drool:

Was worth a try.

[Browning]

Winston looks to be coming back.

[Pleb]

If Palmer could remember who Jaron Brown is we might be in business.
Fixed :sherlock:

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Winston looks to be coming back.

And Evans looks like he's going out after a catch...

ffs.

[Dan]

Just in case anyone is wondering, Aaron Rodgers isn't my QB in the league where all my players get injured.

It's Jameis Winston :D

[Gray Fox]

That Brate TD hurts a lot. I was looking good until then. Now I'm looking like I need work from Hilton.

[Dan]

My QBs in my five leagues are Carr (7.44pts), Jameis x2 (2.44pts), Alex Smith (1.32pts) & Kirk Cousins (28.8pts)

One out of five isn't bad :D

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Just in case anyone is wondering, Aaron Rodgers isn't my QB in the league where all my players get injured.

It's Jameis Winston :D

Dick :(

[Dan]

Unintentionally large image inside:

http://i66.tinypic.com/1rvk37.png

Avoid all those guys.

[Dan]

Looks like TTH is going to come down to CJ Anderson v DeMarco Murray in a straight fight :drool:

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Alvin Kamara will be the next one to hurt me further.

[Dan]

Antonio :alan: What a stud that man is.

Huge help in the tie as well. Gone from 3pts down to 9pts up & now CJ has a nice cushion over Murray in the RB showdown.

EDIT: Kareem getting his usual fourth quarter yardage too, although today it's mostly come in the passing game.

[Dan]

Just in case anyone is wondering, Aaron Rodgers isn't my QB in the league where all my players get injured.

It's Jameis Winston :D

The guy I'm playing in that league has Aaron Rodgers :D The curse is spreading.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

I could do with some more yardage or a TD from Evans.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Mike Evans is GOD \0/.

[Gray Fox]

Yes Magic Mike.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

fu Dan.

I was about to put a waiver claim in for Mike Williams.

Can't do much worse than Tyrell Williams.

[Dan]

Add me to the list of people happy with a long Evans TD. Probably gives me the win in dynasty despite me playing Jameis & him play Watson :drool:


fu Dan.

I was about to put a waiver claim in for Mike Williams.

Can't do much worse than Tyrell Williams.

He's not got injured, has he?

[Pleb]

In TTH I'm leading but only just against BiLOL Powell and this matchup could go either way that is if my Wide Receivers can actually show up for once. Zach Etrz though :cool:
Holy shit I won :hail:

[Dan]

Pleb's beaten both of the top two now :cool: Dark horse for sure.

If DeMarco Murray outscores CJ Anderson by 16 full points then either he's gone insane or CJ's got injured.

[Baz]

Here’s hoping.

[Gray Fox]

Only gone and pulled it off.

https://i.gyazo.com/fa52353e64b56d3480b1f608b3bd134c.png

This is against the guy who dropped Wilson, then immediately sent me a shite trade offer for him back, when I picked him up. He was also the one who gave me a "tough titties" comment when I complained about my RB situation this week. So this one feels good. Garbage time is glorious.

[Browning]

So this is where we stand:

Main League- Originally I was projected to lose this 195-227 due to my patched up team of shit. However with Marvin Jones (+10), Mark Ingram (+18), Gano (+4, which is 50%) and Baltimore (+12) exceeding expectations and him having Hill (-8), Julio (-7) and Kelce (-9) massively let him down and a few others under perform a little, we're now installed as favourites. We lead by 2.9 points with both QBs (Siemian (20) and Brissett (15)) left to play Vs his Moncrief (9) and Denver DST (19). It's far from over but I obviously would have taken this at kick off.

Dynasty- Despite leaving McKinnon's 27 points on the bench (turns out Gurley was the one to bench.... who knew) and picking the wrong DST (Jags over Ravens) we've cruised to victory here and lead by 101 points with him having Siemian, Anderson and the Denver DST to come. They're projected 55 points combined so this one better be in the bag.

TTH- My team seems to have hit form, and looks to have won again to move to 4-2 which is shocking to me.

4th League- Genuinely think this one is my strongest team and I can't believe it's 2-3. We've wrapped up the win this week Vs a team who scored 208.01, enough to beat anyone except me and one other team. We've scored 239.50 so far, and we are projected to finish on 279.19, 26 points more than that other team and 70 points more than our opponent, who would be 3rd. Fucking smashed them and this better continue.

Auto Draft League- With me and Fay being the only 2 who seem to know much about this, both at 5-0 and clashing this week, he's the favourite but we aren't quite out of it. He leads by 38 points but he's finished and we have Siemian and Engram to play. I doubt we get the win here, but it could happen. Of course if I didn't sit Hyde for Abdullah we'd be home and dry by now...

Edit- They just added a bunch of late stuff to Calais Campbell and now I'm 5.5 points ahead in my main league. :drool:

[Browning]

Or do I plug in Mariota now....

I don't know if I have the guts to put him in for Siemian. Knowing my luck he'll then get ruled out despite the fact he's been reported to be playing.

[Dan]

I'd stick with Trevor, but I can't pick QBs for shit so probably best to swap to Mariota.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Pleb :cool:

Unless Rishard Matthews, Evan Engram and Denver D score more than 42.72 points I believe I will be on top of all of you.

[Browning]

I am going to stick because I don’t want to get stuck with Cassel. We can weigh up Mariota vs Brissett tomorrow when I know what is needed.

[Dan]

Pleb :cool:

Unless Rishard Matthews, Evan Engram and Denver D score more than 42.72 points I believe I will be on top of all of you.

Unless DeMarco Murray scores 16pts + whatever CJ Anderson scores you won't be on top of all of us.

[Dan]

Thanks for the help CJ :moop: Even Cooper scored more.

[Browning]

Siemian comfortably out scoring the Denver DST has all but given me the win in my main league. We lead by slightly more than 16 points with Brissett to play against his Moncrief, who can't really go off without Brissett doing the same. This should be in the bag.

Dynasty was comfortably wrapped up as was TTH. We lost the Autodraft league by less than 2 points.... the only thing stopping us going 5-0 for the week.

If all goes to plan in my main league we will move back to the top of the table with one other team joining us on 4-2 and then everyone else being 3-3 apart from the team I faced this week who will be 1-5. All my leagues seem to be heading towards almost all the teams being 3-3, which is strange. In fact at one point it was projected for everyone in my dynasty league to be 3-3 after this week, but it looks like instead 2 teams will edge out wins to be 4-2 (leaving 2 at 2-4). The guy with ODB, Zeke and Rodgers (who he started) winning this week is insane.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Run wild, Demarco. Run wild.

[Browning]

So for some odd reason (maybe due to their being no Waiver wire) my main league lets you drop players that played on Sunday first thing Monday, albeit the replacements can't be used until the next week. As a result I was able to drop Kearse and John Brown this morning for Kyle Rudolph and Darren McFadden. Forte and Powell are both still out there and it's tempting to drop Marvin Jones for one, but they will no doubt split time, and with MCGuire in there as well, I'm not sure I fancy it. I may need to add another WR if 2 of Green, Diggs, Shepherd and Allen don't suit up (so Diggs and Shepherd... I'm looking for at least 1 of you to get healthy) or if I decide I don't want to start 2 TEs (Reed and Rudolph) but for now that feels like a big upgrade for my team.

[Dan]

Run wild, Demarco. Run wild.

His best performance of the season is 18pts, which is what he needs tonight, but that was against Seattle with the massive TD run. Otherwise he’s not hit 60 yards yet. He’s also barely found the end zone, so inevitably this will be 85 yards, 2 TDs.

[Browning]

3 rushes, 5 yards, 3 TDs.

[Dan]

100 total yards & a TD is fine by me. Sounds like Mariota will play too, which will no doubt help him out.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Nice of Mariota to start to ensure that I'll be 0-6 for the correct QB.

Let's do the (im)perfect season \0/.

[Pleb]

At what point do I have a massive MELTDOWN over Cam Newton?

I'm still tempted to cut him :sherlock:

[Baz]

Run wild, Demarco. Run wild.:yn:

[Browning]

I'm still going to roll with Jacoby instead of Mariota. It seems the safer play in more ways than one.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

I'm still going to roll with Jacoby instead of Mariota. It seems the safer play in more ways than one.

I would as well which means go for Mariota.

[Dan]

As I said, I fancy him to have a good game, so make that three for Mariota.

[Browning]

My opponent needs Moncrief to outscore my opponent by 16 points. I don't think he can do that to Jacoby realistically, bar a Jacoby injury.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

I'm even starting Brisett in one league.

Sound the alarm bells.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Across my five leagues I went with the following this week:

Newton x2 (good), Rodgers (dead), Winston (broken) and Brisett.

[Dan]

Thanks Derrick :thbup:

Would’ve been even better if I’d played him, but the win is all that matters.

[Browning]

Jacoby did his job and we move to 4-2 and back to top of my main league. :cool:

Also up to 2nd in Dynasty with almost everyone on 3-3 but me being the top scorer. One team is 4-2 and one is 2-4. Very close and competitive league. We face the league leaders next.

I was probably a bit too hasty in cutting Brown/Kearse in my main league as I have no guarantee that Shepherd/Diggs suit up. I've added Robert Woods to cover for them, who is being targeted a lot more than the other 2 and plays in the UK. May replace him with Brown if Brown clears waivers, we'll see. Either way I'd much prefer Diggs to play.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Mike Mularkey is a dick.

He should haver given Murray more carries.

[Browning]

Sitting one of my 5 Dynasty RBs (Bell, Gurley, Howard, Ingram, McKinnon) every week is going to be a fucking nightmare. At least I'm well placed to get through bye weeks. Abdullah doesn't have a prayer of getting near the team as it stands,and I also have Darren McFadden just in case he becomes the man for 6 weeks. I may have to look at shopping Abdulah/McFadden for a WR as I'm currently in line to start Cooper and Funchess this week....

Leaning towards sitting Howard, as mental as that sounds. The others are just way too good in a PPR, and his match up isn't great.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

If it's PPR then yeah, you're going to have to bench Ingram or Howard.

Edit: I didn't realise that Ingram gets as many catches as he does.

[Browning]

Reading the recap of my main league win and it turns out that is my highest score of the season so far. Not bad considering Mariota was "injured" (more accurately, unplayable due to the doubt and late kick off), Ben was not trust worthy and Luck is still injured so I was down my top 3 QBs..... I picked up 3 out of 4 of my WRs off free agency this week and I had to start Buck Allen as my 3rd RB, plus my TE, Reed, under performed. All of them are heroes but I feel no regret dropping Brown, Kearse and Brissett already :D

Edit- You know how I said my best team were 2-3? Just checked the league now I've moved back to 3-3 (4th place out of 8) and it's fucking ridiculous. I've scored 1345 points, the top team has 1265 and the second highest scorers behind me (1266, so only one point more than the top team) are currently in 6th place with a 2-4 record. Meanwhile I've had 1301 points against me, more than anyone else in the league. One of the teams below me has had a similar amount scored, but the teams above me have in order faced 1126, 1258 and 1165 points. Schedules really can be a cunt.

[Dan]

I’ll trade you a RB from your dynasty league for a WR from mine Browning

Howard & McKinnon seem the most sittable, depending on matchup.

[Browning]

Indeed. I'll probably sit Howard this week as the Panthers seem strong against the run. It's a nice problem to have, but it would be nice if I wasn't having to contemplate starting Amari Cooper. Hopefully Shepherd returns this week and can play for me in both leagues.

Abdullah, Ellington (assuming he still has a role with the Cards) and McFadden are never going to get a look in. I also should have had Peterson but couldn't find anyone to drop and the waiver claim passed me by because I already added McKinnon into my empty roster spot. Meanwhile the best WR I could find to pick up was Kendall Wright...

[Dan]

Don’t know what your problem is with Cooper, he’s just scored about as much in one week as his last three combined.

Guaranteed double digits against the Chiefs. Maybe.

[Browning]

To be fair I scored almost as much as his last 3 weeks combined.

[Browning]

Just skimmed through the 2015 Fantasy thread for a laugh. So many players getting mentioned that are completely irrelevant only a year and a half on. What a season I had in my main league, going 1-5 before winning the title thanks to Ryan Fitzpatrick coming in.

[Dan]

A better reason to start Cooper this week is that I'm seriously debating actually benching him this week, as I have more appealing options for once. Him being in the Thursday night game makes it a harder decision to stick with him as both Snead & Garcon have a chance at good points on Sunday, and I still fancy Davante Adams to do okay against us on Sunday, although I may end up going Brown, Snead & Garcon depending on team news in the Saints/Packers game.

Gonna have to start Carr either way, though, in which case it'll be an 80yd TD to Cooper & 4INTs.

[Browning]

My opponent is starting Carr, so nailed on 5 TDs to Crabtree.

[Dan]

I'll have to remember to not start an unavailable Stefon Diggs over him this week in that case :D

[Browning]

I've just bought in Tyrod Taylor in my main league as I still don't trust Ben and anyone can throw against the Bucs. That will mean 5 different QBs have started for me in the last 3 weeks with only Brissett getting 2 games as I'll probably roll with Tyrod and Mariota.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

So I forgot that one of my yahoo random leagues has a bullshit "can't cut" rule and now I can't cut Elliot for some reason :nono:

Aren't you glad now?

He's been given a temporary restraining order so can start this week.

[Dan]

Is it bad that I want to pick up the Saints DST? Already nabbed them in dynasty as I had a spare roster spot, but I have the Jags (same as everywhere apart from TTH), so I’m not going to need to use them very often.

[Browning]

The saints have a DST?

[Dan]

Joint 5th highest scoring DST so far this season :cool:

[Gray Fox]

32 points last week. Mental.

[Dan]

And Green Bay this week, missing Rodgers, as well as possibly both tackles & half their secondary. Potential is there for us to put up points & allow the defence to get after Hundley.

It being the Saints, though, the potential is also there for them to score 40 on us if they just dink & dunk through our linebackers.

[Gray Fox]

It's at that point of wondering if Luck actually plays this year. I'm now leaning towards not, which is a shame.

Also Zekes back! Great for me in a very favourable matchup this weekend. I've instantly had 2 offers for him. One is a throw away, the other is AJ Green and Blount. This wasn't too tempting a few weeks back, but considering we're at week 7 now and the NFL are really pushing this ban to come ASAP, I may be better making a deal with someone. Any ban that hits week 8 onwards is going to leave me looking at waivers to replace him as he wont be useful until the play-offs.

[Pleb]

TTH 2017 Mid-Season Review

1st) Equable Rogues (5-1)

Looks like the third round pick of Kareem Hunt has elevated Equable Rogues to first place in the league and rightly so. Defeat to Believe In Plobs aside, we can probably be confident at this point that Equable Rogues are gunning for a playoff spot and defending their championship crown. Let’s hope the fantasy gods are kind to them this season.

2nd) BiLOL Powell (4-2)

Keeping Magic Mike XXL Evans away from the luxurious bye spot in second place is BiLOL Powell and the projected Yahoo idiots probably didn’t see this one coming as they went on a four game winning streak before ultimately succumbing to defeats by Equable Rogues and…shock horror…Believe In Plobs. Hopefully the fantasy gods will be a lot kinder to BiLOL Powell who faces Magic Mike XXL Evans in week 7 in what will ultimately become a shit fist fight for second spot.

3rd) Magic Mike XXL Evans (4-2)

Magic Mike XXL Evans must have had a massive orgasm when Believe In Plobs rightfully made a trade request for Justin Tucker to move away from his squad for Wil Lutz. It’s not kickers that wins you points it’s having a decent QB and WR that wins you points. More to the point will you start Mariota over Winston this week? Oh wait you picked up Dak Prescott instead? Oh boy. Prepare yourself for floating around the top six and a safe wildcard spot for the championship playoffs then (probably jinxed it by saying that).

4th) Golden Grahams (4-2)

How the fuck is this team fourth in the league? Your byes this week are atrocious, Andrew Luck being out for a bit doesn’t help either. Who have you got for week 7? Oh it’s God Hates Jag…ah carry on. Solid squad, must do better. Championship playoff spot secured. Please fantasy football gods don’t fuck this team up. I just realised the top deadly two have already faced you and given you respectable defeats. Fair enough, carry on.

5th) Agholorious Basterds (3-3)

Eh. The suspension swings and roundabouts of Ezekiel Elliot doesn’t help either. Your win loss ratio is all over the shot but you have already faced one of the top deadly two in BiLOL Powell so we won’t complain that much. Your loss to Baz’s Bumbandits didn’t help either. Again, solid squad must do better. Pray to god LeVeon Bell wakes up properly this season otherwise you’ll be heavily relying on Ezekiel Elliot for much needed points to stay up in the top six.

6th) Welby Wolves (3-3)

The yahoo projected idiots had this team higher up the standings than what you have performed already this season which is lolworthy if I’m brutally honest. Aaron Rodgers being dead and not performing properly hasn’t helped you either. Let’s hope the fantasy gods are being generous to you for the remainder of the season otherwise you’ll be stuck floating around 3rd to 6th for quite some time.

7th) Believe In Plobs (3-3)

From losing two matchups in a row, having fucked up by getting rid of Russel Wilson for Alex Smith for completely not understanding how the waiver system works (only to be reinstated soon afterwards) to winning two key matches against the top deadly two in Equable Rogues and BiLOL Powell only for Magic Mike XXL Evans to give them an unexpected L on their win loss ratio. In Believe In Plobs’s head they really should be 4-2 and higher up the standings but in reality the team is actually 3-3 and flirting with an unexpected championship wildcard spot. Will this momentum carry on? It’s fantasy football, anything can happen. Dark horse status confirmed.

8th) God Hates Jags (2-4)

As the name suggests, clearly the fantasy gods hates this fucking fantasy football team. Grind your teeth and hope to the fantasy gods that you don’t end up in the “El Plebbo” Playoffs when week 14 rolls around.

9th) Baz’s Bumbandits (1-5)

:face:

Your only win was against Agholorious Basterds? I guess there’s some light at the end of the tunnel. New season goal…finish higher.

10th) Cry me a Rivers (1-5)

The whole entire TTH league would like to take this opportunity to personally apologise for giving you such a horrific squad for your quest to get out of the basement. On the plus side you beat Baz’s Bumbandits so I guess there’s something to take out of that. Clearly in massive rebuild mode.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Look at the 6 peasants at sub .500 ('MURICA, FUCK YEAH!).

I'm planning on mounting all of you within 3 weeks.

[Dan]

I feel a bit more relaxed about this week knowing that you & Fay are playing each other, so one of you has to lose. Also happens to be a nice time for me to run into Ian, but I'm sure it will end up being a close one once he adjusts his lineup.

Also Pleb :cool:

[Pleb]

Mahow vs Fay is going to be carnage.

My matchup with Baz will be full of lolz.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

I can't wait for his WRs to put up 10 points combined whilst Fournette runs his way to 50.

[Dan]

I think 'how has to be favourite in that one by a decent amount - Fay's team seems to have slipped off in the last few weeks, whereas that disgusting WR group should be enough to keep Mahow in pretty much any tie, even if he is playing a team that's otherwise almost exclusively comprised of Ravens.

I'd probably make Baz the slight underdog in that tie, but he has Brady & Gronk so he's always got a chance, as I've just seen. Not great matchups a lot of his big players though, which could be enough to make the difference. Allen & Thielen both up against strong defences, and I'm still not buying into McKinnon either, especially against the Ravens who could have Mahow's boy Brandon Williams back. DeMarco Murray, however, has a good matchup, but isn't fully fit, so could end up splitting with Henry again & losing a lot of opportunity.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Full participant on Wednesday :nodd:

McKinnon is going to get absolutely dicked on.

http://98329bfccf2a7356f7c4-b113946b17b55222ad1df26d6703a42e.r50.cf2.rackcdn.c om/_800x1000_fit_center-center/Top-Ten-Brandon-Williams-hero.jpg

[Dan]

I can't wait for his WRs to put up 10 points combined whilst Fournette runs his way to 50.

Inevitable 70yd Taylor Gabriel TD & two 30yd+ Hogan TDs now.

EDIT: Didn't the amount of rushing yards per game Baltimore gave up basically double while he was out?

Think this might be the week you get QB right too.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

He played in the first two games and we gave up 77 against the Bengals and 93 against the Browns for an 85 average. Then we did the following:

166 against the Jags
173 against the Steelers
108 against the Raiders
231 (franchise worst) against the Bears.

169.5 average so pretty much exactly double.

Brandon Williams IS our run defence.

[Dan]

In fairness, Bell, Fournette & Howard/Cohen are much better than Lynch/Richard/Washington, Mixon/Hill/Bernard & Crowell/Johnson, which might also have something to do with the massive gap between the two camps.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

They are but we gave up less than 85 yards per game last year IIRC.

[Gray Fox]

Best I can get for Elliott are the following. CJ Anderson(or Blount) and AJ Green for Zeke. Or McCaffery and Julio for Zeke.

Head says take one of those offers as I believe Sunday will be the last time he plays in a while. I think we've long gone by the chance of reduction to 3 or 4 games.

[Dan]

From what I’ve heard it sounds pretty likely that they’ll grant him an injunction for the rest of the season, but Anderson & Green sounds nice if you do want to get rid.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

I'd lean towards McCaffrey and Julio.

[Gray Fox]

It's tough.

Who would trade and who would suffer through it? I can possibly turn CmC into Carlos Hyde too.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

No Fournette at practice yesterday or today?

I like the sound of that.
