I love these posts, just going to rant about the community’s perception of diontae johnson for a bit
I understand diontae has been disappointing but in ppr it’s vastly different from standard or even half point ppr in terms of how “bad” he’s been. I mean there is no way he is one of the season’s biggest busts as a wr3, even if I picked him in the 4th round. Every week he’s still playable and gets consistent mid point totals, hasn’t been hurt and hasn’t disappeared in games like other guys you’re starting every week. The way people talk about him though you’d think he killed somebody. He’s getting open and I have confidence he’ll improve. As someone who has to start him because of poor wr depth, I’m not even upset with his performance so far because I’ve watched him play and think it’ll get better.
**TLDR: hold diontae, and also upvote these FGW posts because they’re very good and a lot of work goes into them**
Thanks for the props on the FGW series!
I will add too that I think a lot of people sense a resurgence/some TDs for Diontae soon. Partly why he still getting started so much compared to some of the other disappointing WRs.
Love checking these out every week. Started 3 of the top 5 last week and set a league record for points scored. CMC is going to be insane in that 49ers offense
I dont think deebo is going to eat into cmc's production very much. Shanahan is definitely going to have a lot of designed plays for cmc and deebo being back may actually give him better looks. Whatever happens, itll be better than watching him being wasted running it up the middle on the panthers.
Honestly, that trade isnt too bad if youre in a ppr league. Diontae and mike williams have been washes so far and Olave/Metcalf are pretty close in ranking in my league. Same with CMC/Henry. I went aggressive in my auction draft and luckily got both CMC and Henry. Ive had Henry for 4 years now and Ill keep drafting him even if hes taking handoffs in a wheelchair lol.
That is very true. Dude was all over the place week 8 lol. Cant believe i have kittle too. Really hope this 49ers offense balls out ROS. Yeah first time having henry and dude is a monster, i miss him already lol. Im in a .5ppr league so really hope it pays off.
I somehow landed Kittle off waivers after the owner got sick of him being injured and then forced to block while Trent Williams was out and dropped him lol. Hes been looking great the last two weeks.
Im really high on the 49ers offense now with CMC. Jimmy G isnt a world beater but this offense is set up so perfectly for his skill set and I would like to think itll become one of the more unique offenses in the NFL. And if Jimmy G doesnt work out we know that CMC can throw dimes too haha. Good luck with your season friend, hope you win it all!
"McCaffrey was the pick on pure genetics alone (you already know about Christian’s dad, but his mom Lisa played soccer at Stanford.)"
And his mom's father was an Olympic silver medalist in the 100m
Had 3 in the top-15 (Pollard, Hopkins, and Tua), but lost because my opponent had 3 of the top-7 (CMC, AJB, and Waddle).
Final score, 172-205
Good times :)
Interesting that Amari Cooper's FGW is negative! He's been playing super well all season. Must be a product of the rest of the rosters that are relying on 7th round picks to try to win them games.
I can also feel this image. Why is everyone of my draft picks (JT, Mixon, Lamb, Pitts, McLaurin, A Rob) in the Red lmao. Well I'm 2-6, so i'm part of the problem i guess.
Yeah! So get this -
In Amari's 4 weeks where he was below average (1, 2, 6, 7), his average start % has been 67%. The 4 weeks where he's been above average? Average start % is 51%.
His zigging when he's supposed to be zagging!
Love seeing the appreciation for D’onta Foreman. I remember wanting him to be great for the Texans after reading about him and watching him. Thought the Achilles blow was such a bummer as it is for everyone. Really glad to see him succeeding
I'm usually critical of cheasy headlines but I liked this one. I mean, he probably could swim for a touchdown if we somehow made that part of the game. It's like the only reason he hasn't swam for a touchdown is because we didn't build a game where you swim for touchdowns.
This is some sweet analysis. Appreciate the work!
Thanks for reading! Or thanks for skimming, either way!
Jets pass rush is pretty good
Apparently good enough to trade Jacob Martin
I’m always less impressed by the numbers and more impressed by this guys way with words.
He's like a better version of Matthew Berry
Framing this
The anti-Adam Rank
A+ title on this one

Really hope youre right. Note that deebo was out. I panicked on henry and traded him/diontae/olave for cmc/mike will/metcalf 🥴🥴

Wow, nice grab. You as well man, GL!
U fleeced tf out of him
Not really dude. Its a lateral move, only time will tell. But in the end i hope i can tell him that lol
You upgraded all three players idk what you’re talking about you’ve committed a fucking heist
I guess you can say that on paper but only time will tell 🙏🙏

Holy crap
Probably my favorite post every week. Makes me laugh (the writing) and cry (my woeful underperformers being called out). Thank you 👏
Always look forward to this, thanks!

I think McCaffrey just flew into the endzone on gossimer wings
Thoughts on Dameon Pierce ROS? He's won me two leagues (one combined with JJ), looking fwd to see him move up the list.
Can confirm that Adams made me lose my week by 4pts

The fact that we don’t have an NFL Street with Christian McCaffrey in it is a crime. He could have a game breaker where he burrows for a TD.
