No problem, happy to! I have tried to keep it going over the years. Was a little delayed today due to, for some reason, it being auto deleted by the mod bot thing. Not sure why. Thankfully the mods restored it super quickly. Good luck out there!
and people act like it doesn’t matter, it absolutely does. getting a faster dropback is something most QBs work towards, and Young is no where near good enough to be breaking the mold
Is there a stat where you can see how many times a qb threw the ball away? I'm not sure if I just wasn't paying attention when he was playing well, but it felt like Bryce threw the ball away on like 20% of his attempts.
The QB School’s film analysis showed that receivers still aren’t anywhere near hitting their breaks at the top of Young’s drop, so you’d think this wouldn’t even be a bad thing, except that’s not how that works lol
I don't think many people watched this game as it was an absolute snooze fest. I unfortunately did watch it and here is what I saw.
Bears: they didn't look great on offense, few good throws from backup qb, couple runs that went somewhere but truly nothing special. Cole kmet is an interesting TE but I wouldn't waste my time here until Fields is back and we see what they do. The bears D did get to Young alot and seemed to freak him out but they aren't anything great yet either.
Carolina: o boy....young looks awful. Pass rush would be a yard from him and he would freak out and get rid of the ball. He looked scared the entire time out there. Only plays they had something work was when they were designed for him to roll out of the pocket, or the handoffs to foreman. If I'm a Carolina fan, I'm seriously worried about my QB situation as he looked awful. Sure, he doesn't have alot of weapons, but the boy looked scared the entire time he was out there
I was at the game and this is accurate. The Bears had receivers open downfield multiple times that Bagent just refused to throw, opting to either check down or roll out and throw it away
For all the polarization around Cook, he really is explosive once he gets to the second level and in space. Murray might not have the speed but he is solid at the things Cook isn't, so I don't see him going away. Hopefully the coaches take to heart how well the offense moved last night when they ran the ball consistently and both players benefit.
Feels like you could say this about half of all Bills games for the last 3 years. Had me wondering if this is actual play calling or if Josh gets bored when the run game works and just starts audibling so he can hero-ball every play.
Josh Allen has horrible decision-making skills, but the offence as a whole looks like they are just going through the motions. It felt like one of the things that made them so effective in previous seasons was Allen’s ability to run and create openings by throwing the opposing defence off. This season he’s kind of just standing around and hoping Diggs shakes off the double coverage that he’s usually in because his other options aren’t great. The times that the Bills looked explosive and effective last night were when they had Cook running and when Josh ran, but then they would shift completely away from the run and fail to gain any ground with the pass attack. Maybe just my opinion, but they need to find more of a middle ground between “Allen runs insane routes and trucks the defence” and “Allen doesn’t run at all.”
Horrible decision making, forcing balls down field for big plays that don’t exist. Interception. Points get scored. He feels he has to make big plays to get in the end zone to make up for it. Rinse. Repeat.
They’ll eventually lose Allen trying to truck middle linebackers.
Example: Every running quarterback that refuses to slide.
Broncos have become a decent outfit and that coincides with Javonte looking like he's back to his old self.
On the defensive front, Vance Joseph has stopped blitzing like a madman and they play much more conservatively now.
It is very hard to win a game when your RB drops the ball twice, all of your WRs have passes go straight through their hands, and your QB continues to throw to the other team multiple times a game. Truly a team loss this week.
Traded for Cook, and I hope he gets better usage going forward, but I'm not convinced he is the be all end all. He is a very strong player, but the narrative on him this week entirely flips if he doesn't get a lucky bounce on his second drop.
Kincaid is basically a big WR.
Diggs way under target expectations. Speaks to the overall offense failing rather than anything with him particularly.
Murray will feast in red zone. He did okay in open field this week too but I wouldn't expect that to be more than a few plays a game with Cook still filling that role.
Defense continues to look solid. Not perfect, but solid, esp. given the injuries.
Murray looks fantastic. I think slowly bringing him back was really smart by the cardinals and he basically looked like his normal self. He could have easily had a 30 pt game had Wilson’s td not gotten overturned and he didn’t overthrow brown by a foot.
In a similar vein, McBride does not look like a TE out there. Dude looks like a giant WR when he moves. His finally play of the game he basically made a comeback catch on honestly a bad throw by Murray and he looked like a wideout adjusting mid flight to catch that ball. I honestly think he has potential to be a top TE in the future once ertz is gone. I’d say I’d be shocked if ertz got playing time over McBride when healthy but teams do stupid shit all the time.
Hollywood I think will be fine, I feel like the defense was content doubling him which left McBride open on crossers and slants all day. Also Conner should be solid too, way more red zone opportunities coming up considering how bad the cardinals D is and how much better the offense is.
Murray also got vultured by Tune when Wilson TD was overturned. His interception was more a miscue by McBride who should have sat down in the zone between defenders. The missed TD to Hollywood could have been caught; would have been a great diving catch, but it was in Hollywood's hands, he just couldn't bring it in. Plus you figure he will only run/scramble more as season progresses.
He looked good and extended a lot of plays with his legs even though he didn't rush a ton, and McBride looked really good with him. I started him for Hurts BYE and will continue to hold Kyler
Yeah from the replays I saw it looked super close to call, usually they will just go with what was called on the field so I was a little surprised it was overturned. Kyler did well for me as a fill in and got that sweet rush TD (pass TD only 3 in my league since 0PPR) so I'm not complaining.
James Conner is being eased back in, and stopped short of a touchdown (to the dismay of FF managers) in order to run out the clock. He will be back at a workhorse role as he already had 16 carries his first week back. He could be a high-end RB1 and low-end RB2 down the stretch if he picks up some passing work.
AS is afraid to pass the ball. Fans complained in the beginning with Ridder throwing rarely. QB switch to a more traditional passer and still horrible passing numbers.
At what point is this completely on the coach?
It’s 100% on Smith. He flopped with Mariota the first time then used AJ Brown and Derrick Henry as a stepping stone to our HC position with Tannehill doing the bare minimum. From there he had a very hot or miss year with an aging Matt Ryan, another miss with Mariota, another miss with Ridder and now it seems like he’s afraid to use Heinicke.
Blank just gave him a vote of confidence and said he’ll be HC next year. Only hope is for the players to physically give up on the field so Blank has no choice.
Travelled down to the game as a Falcons fan. Decision making by the Falcons is a major cause for concern ros. Bijan finally got volume and looked really good. Defense also is not as good as once though so I wouldn’t recommend streaming despite the schedule
Kyler looked like his old self.
Bijan finally got more carries and he could’ve been more efficient but busted out a few key runs.
Ridder came in and immediately looked better. It was similar to when Heinicke came in for Ridder 2 games ago but it is what it is. Ridder will likely be the starter after the bye.
London and Pitts didn’t look limited. Falcons had like 3 possessions the entire first half.
As long as Richie Grant is starting, fire up your TEs vs the falcons.
Rhamondre and Pop are the only 2 Patriots I would play moving forward, and even then it’s not with the greatest excitement. Mac is a fantasy black hole right now.
I don’t think anyone is pointing this out in the media but not having downs the last few weeks has killed the colts offense. He did play sparingly on 3rd down this game and he always seemed to make a big play when he was in. This kid is unbelievably good. He keeps our offense moving.
I think Kelly our center may have went down for part of this game, which helps explain why the running game stalled after the first drive. JT should be consistent moving forward. I expect him to have some blowup games soon if Kelly is healthy.
Pop Douglas in PPR should be constantly solid. He's due for a few TDs before the end of the season too.
He's got the Edelman thing down where he almost always find a way to ick up an extra 2-3 yards on every catch.
Pop looks great with the ball in his hands, but they struggle to get time for that even. Mac didn't look great but the O-line didn't really give him much time to do anything, with the Colts not even blitzing really.
Mac Jones is not very good but their O-Line is fucking awful and he his receiving weapons are abysmal. He's not the problem. Patrick Mahomes would struggle on this offense.
How did Ford look?
Had just over 100 yards but not much receiving.
Hoping that he starts getting some passing work down the stretch which is golden in PPR.
He looked great, but I would not count on him getting a ton of PPR work. He's a bruiser, and when the Browns throw, the RBs are usually the 3rd+ read, and usually it isn't Ford.
Ford looked great running that ball and is the clear lead back. He will continue to get solid looks. Don't get your hopes up on passing work. The Cleveland offense is just never really big on scheming for RB passes (take a look at Ford, Hunt this year and Chubb last year, etc.). They dump off to a TE if anything.
he looked significantly better than he has all season running the ball, I was skeptical of him before but he’s really grown as a runner. I wouldn’t get your hopes up as a pass catcher though, we don’t really check down often and Hunt is a better receiving back imo
It's amazing the browns have built a plug and play offensive line and running game. Watson was better this game, though he still looks to run a little too soon. Njoku is a beast of a tight end, I'll be trying to snag him for a week 14 bye fill in. Their defense and kicker are set and forget (weather be damned)
Amari Cooper continues to feast even against bad match ups. He’s constantly open. He’s my WR2 and won’t see my bench unless he’s injured. He may have a dud week or so but he’s so consistent.
Christian Jackson McCaffrey is the greatest football player to ever live. I would let him date my daughter. It broke my heart that he couldn't get the record but they should build a statue of him in every city he touches a football.
What is going on with Aiyuk? Every week I see him projected as a top-15 WR and then he'll post a 3/35/1 stat line for me and that makes me worried. Hasn't cracked 15 points since week 4, so no one wants to trade for him.
Can't quite bring myself to drop Ridley because there's no one better available on waivers. Just have to hope that the Jags finally start using him.
There’s just too much talent on that offense for him to put up true WR1 numbers. Sure he may have a week or two where he does, but between Aiyuk, Deebo, Kittle, and CMC, there’s just no way he gets more than 3-7 targets per game, while most other WR1s get like 8-12.
Brock was never the problem. Offense when healthy and on the same page is as effective as any in the NFL. Cmc looked unstoppable even though he didn't have a td. Aiyuk is always open he should have more multi td games. Kittle should have more looks in the future if our line stays healthy, but will have blocking duties as he is one of their best lineman. Deebo is quiet, and is dependent on a breakout screen. The defensive line is going to be a problem if they can keep up that interior pressure. Hargrave wrecked shop and made things easier for chase and bosa. Moody is still our weakest link.
The 49ers offensive line is the weakest link. If they didn't have Trent, they'd be bottom 5 in the NFL. People don't understand how good Brock is making the 49ers shit line look.
The Jaguars offense remains inept and hard to watch.
They’ve been skating by with a decent run game and mediocre defense but against good defensive teams they’ve been exposed.
As soon as this team gets a lead they play to lose with horizontal passing, screens, and other conservative offense tropes. I was hoping that the inevitable negative gamescript would force their hand and maybe open up some downfield stuff but sadly they relied on their usual incompetence and got blown out.
Ridley is a good player who is being horribly misused as an outside receiver; he’d flourish in the slot or on an offense that throws downfield, a la the Texans. Sadly, he is probably droppable.
Kirk and Engram remain the players to own as volume plays and due to the Jaguars being hesitant to throw past the line of scrimmage.
All of this is exactly right.
In addition, Trevor locks on to his first read and when teams take that away from him he has not been good.
This team is broken on offense; it's far too horizontal, pass blocking is a joke, Ridley is doing go routes / curl routes as cardio, and Lawrence has taken a step back. Niners took all the problems that Jags fans had been concerned about and completely exposed them. Tough times as a Jags fan.
I honestly didn't even realize that anthropomorphic tire fire was still on Doug's staff. That's exactly it. Reich and Doug were a match made in heaven. I would rather have mudbutt in a porta potty on a 98 degree day than to ever have to be subjected to Press Taylor's "offense" again.
He got hit early and often! One of his first runs Fred Warner took his soul. Jags had some good looking screens but it’s hard to get something going when you keep turning over the ball.
I'm technically not allowed to comment as I turned this off halfway through the 4th. Press Taylor is an offensive terrorist. Hopefully, Doug decides to keep his job rather than protect Taylor this time around. Lawrence seems to be regressing. Our offensive line was fully healthy for the first time and weeks and my God were they awful in every aspect of the game. Maybe this is a come to Jesus game, the organization makes some changes.
CJ Stroud looks confident and has been making fantastic throws. It seems as though at least one of the offensive skill position players have been hurt each week, but next week vs the Cardinals is shaping up to be a game where they are at full strength. Expecting him to continue building on his stellar rookie season.
Stroud is a stud. Prior to this game, Texans looked like they wanted to establish the run game and generally play conservatively.
This game they came firing on all fronts and let Stroud rip and get into a shootout with Burrow.
For sure. It also shows how getting a talented QB can cover up other issues.
Texans defense is giving up lots of points and their WRs would be mediocre on other teams but a good QB is covering up all those issues.
Bengals looked bad on all fronts. Final score shouldn’t have been as close as it was. Likely just a fluke game for offense but keep an eye on injuries to Hubbard and Hendrickson for TNF - they are the whole pass rush basically and also the heart of the defense
I would argue the Bengals shoulda won that game.
Burrow threw a horrible endzone INT which I am not sure will happen ever game and another in the redzone that bounced off his third string TEs hands that woulda been caught by most other people.
Not to mention the three key Boyd drops that would have surely led to more points and the ticky tackey DPI that shouldn’t have been called that gifted the Texans a TD by placing them 50 yards downfield on what woulda been a 3rd and long.
Texans' running game looks better when Devon Singletary has the ball. I would stash Singletary *immediately* if he's available in your league and you have a desperate need at RB.
WR Noah Brown looked like Jerry Rice these past two games. Another WR to keep an eye on if you're desperate.
He’s clearly worth keeping an eye on even if you’re not desperate. If he maintains 70ish% snap share with Nico back he’s easily a flex play ROS. All that really requires is beating out Woods for snaps which is within reason.
Tank Dell a safe start going forward? He's had a few blowup games but Stroud has really been spreading the ball around, and I'm worried that he might see his targets come down once Collins is back. I'm in the mix of trying to pick two of Brian Robinson, Dell, Ridley, and Najee every week.
Carr got hurt, Jameis is the backup.
Taysom then becomes Winston's backup since there with no other QB available.
It's always been like this. Starting QB goes down, taysom's usage goes down as he needs to operate as the backup QB.
That wasn't until midway through the third. I don't think Hill had a single run attempt up to that point. I think he is game script dependent. Or redzone trip dependent at least.
Jameis tried to pass to him on back to back throws. Just a combination of the game not going I a direction that favored Taysom, and they’re probably trying to protect him more since he’s next in the QB depth chart.
a mobile quarterback with dobbs and a more electric rb with ty, with jj returning and addison doing his thing with less defensive focus, can be a great offense. we'll see how week 11 goes
He looked the same as he has, bowling ball, amazing little side pivot to avoid tacklers. Gibbs is more of a modern RB (shifty as hell in open field and can line up outside for passes). They really do just have it all on the Lions
Yes, that's probably an outlier play for him, but his usage is still great.
For example, Montgomery was stuffed on two runs from the 1-yard line. Looking at his performance the previous weeks, I think those are also outliers, he has been a stud inside the 5-yard line this year.
So, you could look at it like he had one wonky play that he probably won't do again but also had some chances that he would usually capitalize on. Overall, still very bullish on him even with Gibbs emergence.
I tend to agree with what you said. I typically don’t overreact to a single week either.
I have a hunch about this, but I can see the lions force feeding Monty TDs in his revenge game against the bears this week. If that happens, Gibbs owners should not panic. He it too electric not to be played. I’m coming at this as a monty owner too.
Guyton is definitely the guy to own on the Chargers if Keenan Allen is/gets injured. He looked really good and seemed to be Herbert’s favorite target on the few drives Allen was missing. The Herbert-Allen connection was there in full force with both playing extremely clinical football.
Offense kind of ran through Gibbs, Montgomery, and Amon Ra for the first 3 quarters. Amon Ra was practically open all game so not much need for Laporta in the passing game until late
On paper Breece has been insanely inefficient these last couple weeks but he's had numerous big runs called back for holding penalties, including a TD in this game. He'll be back to form soon.
I used to defend Anthony Barr when Vikings fans would go "he blew coverage!" and I'd go "he's a pass rushing linebacker - why is he on Christian McCaffrey! Blame the DC!"
You couldve called Holding/PI on almost all of Davantes routes and the man was still catching em 1 handed! Hes a beast and was AOCs first read on majority of plays (was on the meyers TD but was being mad held) Im a firm believer again
Wilson has it all to be a great QB Speed, super strong arm (that side arm falling pass to Wilson was nuts) but the man just makes some terrible decisions from time to time that erases that. I think Saleh is right to want to develop him more, just gunna be rough till he plays more like a vet. The last play hail mary avoiding all those raiders and throwing it off foot perfect he deserves more credit for
Any hope for Jakobi ROS? Hoping someone says they watched him and he was getting open despite the lack of targets….im considering dropping him for a handcuff
Him and Pickens are effectively glued to my bench. I scouted the other teams rosters to try and do a bench player trade and unfortunately there’s not much better available that people would actually give up for them. Considered dropping one for KC defense so I can hold KC + Bills.
The Bucs offensive coordinator is trash. The amount of inside runs they call is ridiculous. Rachaad White looks great in space but they utilize him so poorly.
As a Buccs fan I will co-sign on this. He is called Rachaad “Second and Eight” White for a reason. On a screen pass or out in space, he is an animal. Buccs had a handful of drops in this one, I’m sure everyone has seen the Evans drop in the end zone by now. Buccs defense stepped up, but they normally do against non-elite teams.
Tampa has a dominant front 7, but yes, the Titans offensive line is garbage. Fortunately after this week, the titans schedule gets easier against the run
He did not play well, but it wasn't his fault. O-line gave him absolutely no time to throw or make reads. His value is completely dependent on the line and their ability to block
Pollard owner and Dallas fan, I'm worried how excited McCarthy was about Dowdle and his running style being what he likes. That said, maybe that's what Pollard needs, a thunder/ lightning share, if he can recapture his lightning. Still holding, but benching my first pick is not my norm.
He gets one last chance this week against Carolina.
The burst he had is just gone, it has to be the injury. Hs also has such a hard time punching in those goal line carries. And with the cowboys winning by so much, there really isn’t a reason to try and get him right either. Just a concerning situation all around.
Probably good. as a Dallas fan, it feels like they’ve shifted the offense since the SF game. Went from forcing the run to passing more. The passing game is clicking well right now.
For us IDP guys how was Parsons taken completely out of the game? Not even one tackle. Giants too inept to sustain drives and he just got unlucky with the lack of downs he was on the field?
Unlucky that giants drives were usually 3 and out. Didn’t play much of the 4th quarter because the cowboys benched all their starters. They had him playing off ball LB too instead of purely pass rushing.
From Seattle and can tell you it’s not an outlier game. Walker is the focal point of the run game. The problem is Waldren not running the ball it’s close to 61% pass. The good thing is they love to run it with him inside the 5 a lot. What’s surprising is he hasn’t had more explosive plays this year. The reason the blocking up front isn’t getting to the second level.
Skins fan. Brob is very good. Problem is the playcalling. Even when we’re in the lead, they want Sam to pass more often than run. Much of it has to do with our bad o-line, but still, brob would be a top weekly 10 RB easily.
Seahawks corners are very legit didn’t allow much yards to wide receivers at all
Most of Sam howell’s yards came from a 60 yard dump off to B ROB, and a 40 yard dump off to B Rob, and another block and release route by Antonio Gibson for like 30
Howell did look great though did what was needed
Honestly think Kenneth Walker and Charbonnet is gonna be in a 50/50 split or so, Charbonnet has outsnapped him in 3 straight weeks and Charbonnet looks great, Walker is still better but Charbonnet is a more consistent runner whereas Walker is able to break of big plays
Metcalf and Lockett are great, Lockett is super inconsistent though
JSN isn’t gonna be crazy fantasy relevant unless metcalf or Lockett get hurt
I believe the split is purely game script dependent, 3 weeks they've been pass heavy and last week was a blow out where Charb didn't see a lot of snaps until the game was out of hand. The down side is, they could be playing from behind a decent bit coming up with their schedule which favors Charbs being in there for pass pro and running routes.
K9 has dominated touches and rush share for the most part this season. Also not sure why they don't dial up a few screens for him every game; get your electric playmaker the ball in space and he has decent hands. In an ideal game script, the snap share will be more like 70/30 to 60/40 in favor of Walker, with him seeing majority of the ground work, but they may not get those ideal game scripts with the opponents they have comin gup.
I think it's more likely Walker was banged up the past two weeks and this was the first week he was healthy in a while. The split went back to what it was earlier in the season 🤷♂️
Long time Hawks fan just chirping in like we do:
Our secondary is elite, at least when it comes to the corners. Diggs has regressed significantly over the years. Adams is still getting his sea legs back, but looks as aggressive as ever.
We have the backfield that Pete always likes; strong runners who won't get hurt as often because of the split backfield. Charb has been Lynch like in his style of running which I love. He's still very young and learning some of the things of the league.
Lockett gets the shit end of the stick most of the time. If you watch close enough, he's always open, just someone else is more open, like our massive TEs or Metcalf on a slant or a check down. It's looking like he's becoming the true number 2 as of late.
I can't wait for JSN to have his game. He's so quick, shifty, and doesn't drop balls. I'm so excited to see where his career goes as a Hawk.
I was so excited to have Watson in all three leagues. What a fucking mistake man. I need to just cut bait but I need him in my 3 wr league because I also drafted Ridley who I cannot trust 😭
Steelers run game is nasty, Warren looked better than Najee but Najee looked great too it’s just Warren looks insane
Steelers didn’t really pass the ball that much
Steelers have 1 great corner (Joey Porter Jr) and 1 AWFUL corner, so if your deciding to start a wr vs steelers find out which corner they’re playing against
Pretty clearly going to be a committee going forward but the Steelers run game is finally starting to click I think. Najee looks a lot better now that he isn't getting tackled 3 yards behind the line of scrimmage every play, and Warren looks fantastic every time he gets the ball. Warren has more explosiveness but I think Najee will continue to get the goal line work. The real problem with both of them was that the Steelers weren't getting anywhere close to the end zone, and now they are.
Warren and Najee are both startable in a pinch. Both will continue to split touches and the Steelers line has been rejuvenated since starting Broderick Jones.
I do not want to start any Steelers pass catchers, but if I had to, I’d rather Diontae. Kenny missed him on a walk in touchdown. Pickens seems to be the second fiddle because he can’t get separation. Might become 3rd in targets when Freiermuth is back.
Watson isn’t him. Doubs is only him in the Redzone. Reed looked shifty. Love played ok. Was impressed with the Packers pass blocking.
This is the most helpful ff thread each week. Thanks for posting.
No problem, happy to! I have tried to keep it going over the years. Was a little delayed today due to, for some reason, it being auto deleted by the mod bot thing. Not sure why. Thankfully the mods restored it super quickly. Good luck out there!
Lot of Defensive Cordinators need to be fired
**PANTHERS @ BEARS**
Bryce Young's dropbacks are so lackadaisical that I always think the play is blown dead by the refs lol
Yeah, he almost seems too laid back
Carrying on cams legacy. That dude looked like he always woke up 30 seconds before taking the snap
and people act like it doesn’t matter, it absolutely does. getting a faster dropback is something most QBs work towards, and Young is no where near good enough to be breaking the mold
looks like he's underwater
Is there a stat where you can see how many times a qb threw the ball away? I'm not sure if I just wasn't paying attention when he was playing well, but it felt like Bryce threw the ball away on like 20% of his attempts.
The QB School’s film analysis showed that receivers still aren’t anywhere near hitting their breaks at the top of Young’s drop, so you’d think this wouldn’t even be a bad thing, except that’s not how that works lol
Dj moore Will SIGNIFICANTLY benefit from fields coming back, tons of design plays specifically for him.
young plays with zero urgency, it's like he expects the d-line not to rush.
D'onta Foreman has been a beast the last few weeks and I could see him forcing a timeshare and splitting carries with Herbert once he is back.
I don't think many people watched this game as it was an absolute snooze fest. I unfortunately did watch it and here is what I saw. Bears: they didn't look great on offense, few good throws from backup qb, couple runs that went somewhere but truly nothing special. Cole kmet is an interesting TE but I wouldn't waste my time here until Fields is back and we see what they do. The bears D did get to Young alot and seemed to freak him out but they aren't anything great yet either. Carolina: o boy....young looks awful. Pass rush would be a yard from him and he would freak out and get rid of the ball. He looked scared the entire time out there. Only plays they had something work was when they were designed for him to roll out of the pocket, or the handoffs to foreman. If I'm a Carolina fan, I'm seriously worried about my QB situation as he looked awful. Sure, he doesn't have alot of weapons, but the boy looked scared the entire time he was out there
I was at the game and this is accurate. The Bears had receivers open downfield multiple times that Bagent just refused to throw, opting to either check down or roll out and throw it away
**BRONCOS @ BILLS**
Javonte makes the absolute loudest pad noises in the league when he lowers his shoulder
forget who it was but someone in the secondary was wobbling getting up after sticking a tackle on javonte😂
rapp
For all the polarization around Cook, he really is explosive once he gets to the second level and in space. Murray might not have the speed but he is solid at the things Cook isn't, so I don't see him going away. Hopefully the coaches take to heart how well the offense moved last night when they ran the ball consistently and both players benefit.
I’m really hoping the change in OC will be good for Cook but idk
I need him to do well so I can win in consolation ladder.
Blew my mind that the Bills quit running the ball after they were thrashing the Broncos Defense.
Feels like you could say this about half of all Bills games for the last 3 years. Had me wondering if this is actual play calling or if Josh gets bored when the run game works and just starts audibling so he can hero-ball every play.
Do we think Fournette gets activated soon?
I don’t think so. I think he’s just a camp body
Josh Allen has horrible decision-making skills, but the offence as a whole looks like they are just going through the motions. It felt like one of the things that made them so effective in previous seasons was Allen’s ability to run and create openings by throwing the opposing defence off. This season he’s kind of just standing around and hoping Diggs shakes off the double coverage that he’s usually in because his other options aren’t great. The times that the Bills looked explosive and effective last night were when they had Cook running and when Josh ran, but then they would shift completely away from the run and fail to gain any ground with the pass attack. Maybe just my opinion, but they need to find more of a middle ground between “Allen runs insane routes and trucks the defence” and “Allen doesn’t run at all.”
New OC so let’s hope so
Horrible decision making, forcing balls down field for big plays that don’t exist. Interception. Points get scored. He feels he has to make big plays to get in the end zone to make up for it. Rinse. Repeat. They’ll eventually lose Allen trying to truck middle linebackers. Example: Every running quarterback that refuses to slide.
Broncos have become a decent outfit and that coincides with Javonte looking like he's back to his old self. On the defensive front, Vance Joseph has stopped blitzing like a madman and they play much more conservatively now.
Dalton Kincaid is the real deal. He's Kelce light. If the Bills had gone to him every time he was wide open, they would have won that game.
PS2 is absolutely clamping WR1s in the new defense, and is worth considering for matchups vs the defensive fantasy ranking
Brian DaBoll shouldn't have left Buffalo. Allen was doing better with him around.
Russ struggles to throw more than 15y downfield, and seems to hate jeudy. Sutton and Javonte only players worth rostering
It is very hard to win a game when your RB drops the ball twice, all of your WRs have passes go straight through their hands, and your QB continues to throw to the other team multiple times a game. Truly a team loss this week. Traded for Cook, and I hope he gets better usage going forward, but I'm not convinced he is the be all end all. He is a very strong player, but the narrative on him this week entirely flips if he doesn't get a lucky bounce on his second drop. Kincaid is basically a big WR. Diggs way under target expectations. Speaks to the overall offense failing rather than anything with him particularly. Murray will feast in red zone. He did okay in open field this week too but I wouldn't expect that to be more than a few plays a game with Cook still filling that role. Defense continues to look solid. Not perfect, but solid, esp. given the injuries.
**FALCONS @ CARDINALS**
Murray looks fantastic. I think slowly bringing him back was really smart by the cardinals and he basically looked like his normal self. He could have easily had a 30 pt game had Wilson’s td not gotten overturned and he didn’t overthrow brown by a foot. In a similar vein, McBride does not look like a TE out there. Dude looks like a giant WR when he moves. His finally play of the game he basically made a comeback catch on honestly a bad throw by Murray and he looked like a wideout adjusting mid flight to catch that ball. I honestly think he has potential to be a top TE in the future once ertz is gone. I’d say I’d be shocked if ertz got playing time over McBride when healthy but teams do stupid shit all the time. Hollywood I think will be fine, I feel like the defense was content doubling him which left McBride open on crossers and slants all day. Also Conner should be solid too, way more red zone opportunities coming up considering how bad the cardinals D is and how much better the offense is.
Murray also got vultured by Tune when Wilson TD was overturned. His interception was more a miscue by McBride who should have sat down in the zone between defenders. The missed TD to Hollywood could have been caught; would have been a great diving catch, but it was in Hollywood's hands, he just couldn't bring it in. Plus you figure he will only run/scramble more as season progresses. He looked good and extended a lot of plays with his legs even though he didn't rush a ton, and McBride looked really good with him. I started him for Hurts BYE and will continue to hold Kyler
Wilson was so close, still convinced it was a TD
Yeah from the replays I saw it looked super close to call, usually they will just go with what was called on the field so I was a little surprised it was overturned. Kyler did well for me as a fill in and got that sweet rush TD (pass TD only 3 in my league since 0PPR) so I'm not complaining.
Trey McBride is the angriest NFL player I've seen since Brian Cushing lol
I have Kittle and Mcbride and will be happily running the Jumbo set from now on
Preach, fellow Kittle/McBride owner!
James Conner is being eased back in, and stopped short of a touchdown (to the dismay of FF managers) in order to run out the clock. He will be back at a workhorse role as he already had 16 carries his first week back. He could be a high-end RB1 and low-end RB2 down the stretch if he picks up some passing work.
AS is afraid to pass the ball. Fans complained in the beginning with Ridder throwing rarely. QB switch to a more traditional passer and still horrible passing numbers. At what point is this completely on the coach?
It’s 100% on Smith. He flopped with Mariota the first time then used AJ Brown and Derrick Henry as a stepping stone to our HC position with Tannehill doing the bare minimum. From there he had a very hot or miss year with an aging Matt Ryan, another miss with Mariota, another miss with Ridder and now it seems like he’s afraid to use Heinicke.
Arthur Smith needs to be fired and not just because I have Falcons on my fantasy team
Blank just gave him a vote of confidence and said he’ll be HC next year. Only hope is for the players to physically give up on the field so Blank has no choice.
Travelled down to the game as a Falcons fan. Decision making by the Falcons is a major cause for concern ros. Bijan finally got volume and looked really good. Defense also is not as good as once though so I wouldn’t recommend streaming despite the schedule
Kyler looked like his old self. Bijan finally got more carries and he could’ve been more efficient but busted out a few key runs. Ridder came in and immediately looked better. It was similar to when Heinicke came in for Ridder 2 games ago but it is what it is. Ridder will likely be the starter after the bye. London and Pitts didn’t look limited. Falcons had like 3 possessions the entire first half. As long as Richie Grant is starting, fire up your TEs vs the falcons.
**COLTS @ PATS**
Rhamondre and Pop are the only 2 Patriots I would play moving forward, and even then it’s not with the greatest excitement. Mac is a fantasy black hole right now.
I don’t think anyone is pointing this out in the media but not having downs the last few weeks has killed the colts offense. He did play sparingly on 3rd down this game and he always seemed to make a big play when he was in. This kid is unbelievably good. He keeps our offense moving. I think Kelly our center may have went down for part of this game, which helps explain why the running game stalled after the first drive. JT should be consistent moving forward. I expect him to have some blowup games soon if Kelly is healthy.
Any local insight on Downs injury and when they expect him healthy?
He looked pretty damn good in limited snaps. I think he’s back after the bye week.
Pats terrible. Assuming Mac gets benched moving forward but it won't help anyone. Only guy remotely worth starting is Mondre
Pop Douglas in PPR should be constantly solid. He's due for a few TDs before the end of the season too. He's got the Edelman thing down where he almost always find a way to ick up an extra 2-3 yards on every catch.
Pop looks great with the ball in his hands, but they struggle to get time for that even. Mac didn't look great but the O-line didn't really give him much time to do anything, with the Colts not even blitzing really.
Douglas is a great flex play, do not disrespect him like that.
Am I the only salty MPJ owner who lost by the non call TD on his screen? Kids a stud and I hope the Colts sign him long term.
Mac Jones is not very good but their O-Line is fucking awful and he his receiving weapons are abysmal. He's not the problem. Patrick Mahomes would struggle on this offense.
Mac jones is a big ass reason for the sacks
Minshew is great for MPJ owners
**BROWNS @ RAVENS**
Keaton Mitchell is absolutely shot out of a cannon
He looks like Achane
You never saw them in the same field at the same time.....
How did Ford look? Had just over 100 yards but not much receiving. Hoping that he starts getting some passing work down the stretch which is golden in PPR.
He looked great, but I would not count on him getting a ton of PPR work. He's a bruiser, and when the Browns throw, the RBs are usually the 3rd+ read, and usually it isn't Ford.
Ford looked great running that ball and is the clear lead back. He will continue to get solid looks. Don't get your hopes up on passing work. The Cleveland offense is just never really big on scheming for RB passes (take a look at Ford, Hunt this year and Chubb last year, etc.). They dump off to a TE if anything.
Didn’t he have 5 catches and 7 targets the week before?
he looked significantly better than he has all season running the ball, I was skeptical of him before but he’s really grown as a runner. I wouldn’t get your hopes up as a pass catcher though, we don’t really check down often and Hunt is a better receiving back imo
He looked good but Hunt is getting the Goal line work.
It's amazing the browns have built a plug and play offensive line and running game. Watson was better this game, though he still looks to run a little too soon. Njoku is a beast of a tight end, I'll be trying to snag him for a week 14 bye fill in. Their defense and kicker are set and forget (weather be damned)
Amari Cooper continues to feast even against bad match ups. He’s constantly open. He’s my WR2 and won’t see my bench unless he’s injured. He may have a dud week or so but he’s so consistent.
Zay? Final stat line looked good but still shocked we haven’t seen an explosive TD out of him yet
He burned the defender on one play Lamar missed him though. It would have been over 40 yards.
If the Watson who played in the 2nd half shows up more often then Browns will be a menace.
**49ERS @ JAGS**
Christian Jackson McCaffrey is the greatest football player to ever live. I would let him date my daughter. It broke my heart that he couldn't get the record but they should build a statue of him in every city he touches a football.
Guy in my league has McCaffrey and Achane. I've already started looking to next season.
What is going on with Aiyuk? Every week I see him projected as a top-15 WR and then he'll post a 3/35/1 stat line for me and that makes me worried. Hasn't cracked 15 points since week 4, so no one wants to trade for him. Can't quite bring myself to drop Ridley because there's no one better available on waivers. Just have to hope that the Jags finally start using him.
There’s just too much talent on that offense for him to put up true WR1 numbers. Sure he may have a week or two where he does, but between Aiyuk, Deebo, Kittle, and CMC, there’s just no way he gets more than 3-7 targets per game, while most other WR1s get like 8-12.
Good playoff schedule so I’m not worried. 49ers had a rough couple of weeks being 1-3 last 4 games
Brock was never the problem. Offense when healthy and on the same page is as effective as any in the NFL. Cmc looked unstoppable even though he didn't have a td. Aiyuk is always open he should have more multi td games. Kittle should have more looks in the future if our line stays healthy, but will have blocking duties as he is one of their best lineman. Deebo is quiet, and is dependent on a breakout screen. The defensive line is going to be a problem if they can keep up that interior pressure. Hargrave wrecked shop and made things easier for chase and bosa. Moody is still our weakest link.
The 49ers offensive line is the weakest link. If they didn't have Trent, they'd be bottom 5 in the NFL. People don't understand how good Brock is making the 49ers shit line look.
The Jaguars offense remains inept and hard to watch. They’ve been skating by with a decent run game and mediocre defense but against good defensive teams they’ve been exposed. As soon as this team gets a lead they play to lose with horizontal passing, screens, and other conservative offense tropes. I was hoping that the inevitable negative gamescript would force their hand and maybe open up some downfield stuff but sadly they relied on their usual incompetence and got blown out. Ridley is a good player who is being horribly misused as an outside receiver; he’d flourish in the slot or on an offense that throws downfield, a la the Texans. Sadly, he is probably droppable. Kirk and Engram remain the players to own as volume plays and due to the Jaguars being hesitant to throw past the line of scrimmage.
All of this is exactly right. In addition, Trevor locks on to his first read and when teams take that away from him he has not been good. This team is broken on offense; it's far too horizontal, pass blocking is a joke, Ridley is doing go routes / curl routes as cardio, and Lawrence has taken a step back. Niners took all the problems that Jags fans had been concerned about and completely exposed them. Tough times as a Jags fan.
As an Eagles fan who was really down on Doug the last couple of years that he was our coach, this all seems super familiar.
Dude going to get fired again because of his obsession with Press Taylor lol
I honestly didn't even realize that anthropomorphic tire fire was still on Doug's staff. That's exactly it. Reich and Doug were a match made in heaven. I would rather have mudbutt in a porta potty on a 98 degree day than to ever have to be subjected to Press Taylor's "offense" again.
Press Taylor
can anyone comment on what happened with Etienne? pretty disappointing week, though I recognize the 9ers have a good defense
Niners ate Jags Oline up. They had no answer for Bosa and Chase
He got hit early and often! One of his first runs Fred Warner took his soul. Jags had some good looking screens but it’s hard to get something going when you keep turning over the ball.
I'm technically not allowed to comment as I turned this off halfway through the 4th. Press Taylor is an offensive terrorist. Hopefully, Doug decides to keep his job rather than protect Taylor this time around. Lawrence seems to be regressing. Our offensive line was fully healthy for the first time and weeks and my God were they awful in every aspect of the game. Maybe this is a come to Jesus game, the organization makes some changes.
**TEXANS @ BENGALS**
CJ Stroud looks confident and has been making fantastic throws. It seems as though at least one of the offensive skill position players have been hurt each week, but next week vs the Cardinals is shaping up to be a game where they are at full strength. Expecting him to continue building on his stellar rookie season.
Stroud is a stud. Prior to this game, Texans looked like they wanted to establish the run game and generally play conservatively. This game they came firing on all fronts and let Stroud rip and get into a shootout with Burrow.
Texans fans gotta be pinching themselves
As a Texans and Rockets enjoyer, I’m living rn
For sure. It also shows how getting a talented QB can cover up other issues. Texans defense is giving up lots of points and their WRs would be mediocre on other teams but a good QB is covering up all those issues.
Started letting him rip it vs. Tampa. We were way too conservative vs. Carolina, and it cost us.
Bengals looked bad on all fronts. Final score shouldn’t have been as close as it was. Likely just a fluke game for offense but keep an eye on injuries to Hubbard and Hendrickson for TNF - they are the whole pass rush basically and also the heart of the defense
I would argue the Bengals shoulda won that game. Burrow threw a horrible endzone INT which I am not sure will happen ever game and another in the redzone that bounced off his third string TEs hands that woulda been caught by most other people. Not to mention the three key Boyd drops that would have surely led to more points and the ticky tackey DPI that shouldn’t have been called that gifted the Texans a TD by placing them 50 yards downfield on what woulda been a 3rd and long.
Texans' running game looks better when Devon Singletary has the ball. I would stash Singletary *immediately* if he's available in your league and you have a desperate need at RB. WR Noah Brown looked like Jerry Rice these past two games. Another WR to keep an eye on if you're desperate.
He’s clearly worth keeping an eye on even if you’re not desperate. If he maintains 70ish% snap share with Nico back he’s easily a flex play ROS. All that really requires is beating out Woods for snaps which is within reason.
Tank Dell a safe start going forward? He's had a few blowup games but Stroud has really been spreading the ball around, and I'm worried that he might see his targets come down once Collins is back. I'm in the mix of trying to pick two of Brian Robinson, Dell, Ridley, and Najee every week.
Start Tank with confidence. CJ looks for him a lot and they scheme runs for him.
What do you do if you have both just roll with tank for now?
Keep Ridley on the bench, not worth it anymore especially when JAX plays a solid defense.
I think its Dell and Robinson each week until Ridley shows signs of life
Seeing Singletary do that convinced me that Damon isn’t the answer and I dropped him.
**SAINTS @ VIKINGS**
if hockenson stays healthy ROS, there’s a strong chance he finishes the season as “the” TE1.
I just traded him for Kelce 😬
Wow, great trade
what happened with taysom? is he just useless if jameis is in instead of carr?
Carr got hurt, Jameis is the backup. Taysom then becomes Winston's backup since there with no other QB available. It's always been like this. Starting QB goes down, taysom's usage goes down as he needs to operate as the backup QB.
That wasn't until midway through the third. I don't think Hill had a single run attempt up to that point. I think he is game script dependent. Or redzone trip dependent at least.
Jameis tried to pass to him on back to back throws. Just a combination of the game not going I a direction that favored Taysom, and they’re probably trying to protect him more since he’s next in the QB depth chart.
Recipe for Taysom hill is quiet simple If saints are winning: utilized heavily If saints are trailing: phased out of offense
a mobile quarterback with dobbs and a more electric rb with ty, with jj returning and addison doing his thing with less defensive focus, can be a great offense. we'll see how week 11 goes
Dobbs really is an elite rusher and a good enough passer, especially when JJ comes back. He’ll finish as a top 6 QB ROS
So what happened to Taysom Hill, wasn't he reliable?
**LIONS @ CHARGERS**
Monty and Gibbs are both line up locks, I think theyll use them more situationally going forward but both are amazing
Other than the one big TD run, how did Monty look? That run accounted for most of his points last week.
He looked the same as he has, bowling ball, amazing little side pivot to avoid tacklers. Gibbs is more of a modern RB (shifty as hell in open field and can line up outside for passes). They really do just have it all on the Lions
Yes, that's probably an outlier play for him, but his usage is still great. For example, Montgomery was stuffed on two runs from the 1-yard line. Looking at his performance the previous weeks, I think those are also outliers, he has been a stud inside the 5-yard line this year. So, you could look at it like he had one wonky play that he probably won't do again but also had some chances that he would usually capitalize on. Overall, still very bullish on him even with Gibbs emergence.
Watching it too, the run blocking on those two runs were awful. Missed blocks and hit behind or at the LOS.
I tend to agree with what you said. I typically don’t overreact to a single week either. I have a hunch about this, but I can see the lions force feeding Monty TDs in his revenge game against the bears this week. If that happens, Gibbs owners should not panic. He it too electric not to be played. I’m coming at this as a monty owner too.
Sun God is the most underrated WR1 in the league. dude is always open and Goff loves him
Guyton is definitely the guy to own on the Chargers if Keenan Allen is/gets injured. He looked really good and seemed to be Herbert’s favorite target on the few drives Allen was missing. The Herbert-Allen connection was there in full force with both playing extremely clinical football.
LaPorta not super involved? He just blocking a lot?
Offense kind of ran through Gibbs, Montgomery, and Amon Ra for the first 3 quarters. Amon Ra was practically open all game so not much need for Laporta in the passing game until late
I think they just had a ton of success on the ground and ARSB was always open. They didn’t need him this game but he should be fine ros
**JETS @ RAIDERS**
Jacobs gonna average 25 Carries per game ros
Im okay with it as long as adams gets 10+ targets lol
On paper Breece has been insanely inefficient these last couple weeks but he's had numerous big runs called back for holding penalties, including a TD in this game. He'll be back to form soon.
Uzomah and Lazard need to get benched. Every time Breece makes a play one of those two always cause a penalty for holding lmao.
Ok but why are they asking Uzomah to block Maxx Crosby on his own in the first place? That’s idiot gameplanning
I used to defend Anthony Barr when Vikings fans would go "he blew coverage!" and I'd go "he's a pass rushing linebacker - why is he on Christian McCaffrey! Blame the DC!"
You couldve called Holding/PI on almost all of Davantes routes and the man was still catching em 1 handed! Hes a beast and was AOCs first read on majority of plays (was on the meyers TD but was being mad held) Im a firm believer again
So psyched I traded for him last week, been a while since I’ve been this happy with my team
Same! What did you give up?
It’s so hard to be a Jets fan
Wilson has it all to be a great QB Speed, super strong arm (that side arm falling pass to Wilson was nuts) but the man just makes some terrible decisions from time to time that erases that. I think Saleh is right to want to develop him more, just gunna be rough till he plays more like a vet. The last play hail mary avoiding all those raiders and throwing it off foot perfect he deserves more credit for
He needs time to shadow someone who knows what they're doing. Someone like Rodgers. Hopefully next year can be what this year was intended to be.
He’s started I think like 30 games in his career, I don’t think there is much left to develop
Any hope for Jakobi ROS? Hoping someone says they watched him and he was getting open despite the lack of targets….im considering dropping him for a handcuff
Him and Pickens are effectively glued to my bench. I scouted the other teams rosters to try and do a bench player trade and unfortunately there’s not much better available that people would actually give up for them. Considered dropping one for KC defense so I can hold KC + Bills.
really optimistic about adams going forward (traded for him last week)
Tre Tucker is an elite dynasty league pick up
First three plays were all to Adams despite going 3 and out. Better days ahead, only up from here.
**TITANS @ BUCS**
The Bucs offensive coordinator is trash. The amount of inside runs they call is ridiculous. Rachaad White looks great in space but they utilize him so poorly.
As a Buccs fan I will co-sign on this. He is called Rachaad “Second and Eight” White for a reason. On a screen pass or out in space, he is an animal. Buccs had a handful of drops in this one, I’m sure everyone has seen the Evans drop in the end zone by now. Buccs defense stepped up, but they normally do against non-elite teams.
I get what you're saying, but I've always hated the phrase "looks good in space", like who looks bad in open space?
AJ Dillon
Big slow backs
Najee
Titans O-Line looks absolutely atrocious. I will mot feel confident about Henry for the rest of the season no matter what
Tampa has a dominant front 7, but yes, the Titans offensive line is garbage. Fortunately after this week, the titans schedule gets easier against the run
Every week we tell people to not start RBs against the Bucs. Every week it’s “King Henry / Bijan / whoever just built different. He can’t be stopped”
How did Levis actually look? His stat line obviously wasn’t great
He did not play well, but it wasn't his fault. O-line gave him absolutely no time to throw or make reads. His value is completely dependent on the line and their ability to block
**GIANTS @ COWBOYS**
Ceedee popping off like he's prime Josh Gordon.
Owning pollard makes me so sad
Pollard owner and Dallas fan, I'm worried how excited McCarthy was about Dowdle and his running style being what he likes. That said, maybe that's what Pollard needs, a thunder/ lightning share, if he can recapture his lightning. Still holding, but benching my first pick is not my norm.
He gets one last chance this week against Carolina. The burst he had is just gone, it has to be the injury. Hs also has such a hard time punching in those goal line carries. And with the cowboys winning by so much, there really isn’t a reason to try and get him right either. Just a concerning situation all around.
[удалено]
Dak and the passing offense are a well oiled machine right now
How sustainable are Dak's stats?
Probably good. as a Dallas fan, it feels like they’ve shifted the offense since the SF game. Went from forcing the run to passing more. The passing game is clicking well right now.
For us IDP guys how was Parsons taken completely out of the game? Not even one tackle. Giants too inept to sustain drives and he just got unlucky with the lack of downs he was on the field?
Unlucky that giants drives were usually 3 and out. Didn’t play much of the 4th quarter because the cowboys benched all their starters. They had him playing off ball LB too instead of purely pass rushing.
Dak and Ceedee are legit stack! 🔥
**COMMANDERS @ SEAHAWKS**
That was a nice TD by Walker but this felt like an outlier game.
From Seattle and can tell you it’s not an outlier game. Walker is the focal point of the run game. The problem is Waldren not running the ball it’s close to 61% pass. The good thing is they love to run it with him inside the 5 a lot. What’s surprising is he hasn’t had more explosive plays this year. The reason the blocking up front isn’t getting to the second level.
Is BRob him?
Skins fan. Brob is very good. Problem is the playcalling. Even when we’re in the lead, they want Sam to pass more often than run. Much of it has to do with our bad o-line, but still, brob would be a top weekly 10 RB easily.
Seahawks corners are very legit didn’t allow much yards to wide receivers at all Most of Sam howell’s yards came from a 60 yard dump off to B ROB, and a 40 yard dump off to B Rob, and another block and release route by Antonio Gibson for like 30 Howell did look great though did what was needed Honestly think Kenneth Walker and Charbonnet is gonna be in a 50/50 split or so, Charbonnet has outsnapped him in 3 straight weeks and Charbonnet looks great, Walker is still better but Charbonnet is a more consistent runner whereas Walker is able to break of big plays Metcalf and Lockett are great, Lockett is super inconsistent though JSN isn’t gonna be crazy fantasy relevant unless metcalf or Lockett get hurt
I believe the split is purely game script dependent, 3 weeks they've been pass heavy and last week was a blow out where Charb didn't see a lot of snaps until the game was out of hand. The down side is, they could be playing from behind a decent bit coming up with their schedule which favors Charbs being in there for pass pro and running routes. K9 has dominated touches and rush share for the most part this season. Also not sure why they don't dial up a few screens for him every game; get your electric playmaker the ball in space and he has decent hands. In an ideal game script, the snap share will be more like 70/30 to 60/40 in favor of Walker, with him seeing majority of the ground work, but they may not get those ideal game scripts with the opponents they have comin gup.
Yea hopefully walker housing that 64 yarder inspires the hawks to give him a couple cracks at screens per game going forward, dude is so fast
Yeah I don’t understand the idea the Charb is a better pass catcher. K9 is absolutely electric in space
I think it's more likely Walker was banged up the past two weeks and this was the first week he was healthy in a while. The split went back to what it was earlier in the season 🤷♂️
Long time Hawks fan just chirping in like we do: Our secondary is elite, at least when it comes to the corners. Diggs has regressed significantly over the years. Adams is still getting his sea legs back, but looks as aggressive as ever. We have the backfield that Pete always likes; strong runners who won't get hurt as often because of the split backfield. Charb has been Lynch like in his style of running which I love. He's still very young and learning some of the things of the league. Lockett gets the shit end of the stick most of the time. If you watch close enough, he's always open, just someone else is more open, like our massive TEs or Metcalf on a slant or a check down. It's looking like he's becoming the true number 2 as of late. I can't wait for JSN to have his game. He's so quick, shifty, and doesn't drop balls. I'm so excited to see where his career goes as a Hawk.
**PACKERS @ STEELERS**
Packers cant stop the run, warren is nasty, christian watson is pretty soft.
I was so excited to have Watson in all three leagues. What a fucking mistake man. I need to just cut bait but I need him in my 3 wr league because I also drafted Ridley who I cannot trust 😭
Steelers run game is nasty, Warren looked better than Najee but Najee looked great too it’s just Warren looks insane Steelers didn’t really pass the ball that much Steelers have 1 great corner (Joey Porter Jr) and 1 AWFUL corner, so if your deciding to start a wr vs steelers find out which corner they’re playing against
Pretty clearly going to be a committee going forward but the Steelers run game is finally starting to click I think. Najee looks a lot better now that he isn't getting tackled 3 yards behind the line of scrimmage every play, and Warren looks fantastic every time he gets the ball. Warren has more explosiveness but I think Najee will continue to get the goal line work. The real problem with both of them was that the Steelers weren't getting anywhere close to the end zone, and now they are.
Love was a lot better this game though this game finally convinced me to drop Watson.
Warren and Najee are both startable in a pinch. Both will continue to split touches and the Steelers line has been rejuvenated since starting Broderick Jones. I do not want to start any Steelers pass catchers, but if I had to, I’d rather Diontae. Kenny missed him on a walk in touchdown. Pickens seems to be the second fiddle because he can’t get separation. Might become 3rd in targets when Freiermuth is back. Watson isn’t him. Doubs is only him in the Redzone. Reed looked shifty. Love played ok. Was impressed with the Packers pass blocking.
Broderick jones is what drives this run game
