My opponent this week is ringing me up thanks to having Miami's Hill -- who had a monstrous day.

At least both Henry and Sanders (Phil) will start tomorrow so, we'll see how I do.

 

Two things I didn't think I'd say this season.

The Bengals are sprinting full speed to a 0-2 start making me wonder how they went to the SB....
The Seahawks may have known EXACTLY what they were doing trading Wilson...
Some Browns fans have sunk to new lows.

 

9ers season just got saved by a Lance injury?

And yeah, stay classy Browns fans.

 

Call me a Miami Dolphins Bandwagoner, I don't care, but that's some good football today! 😂

 

The first two weeks have produced some really good games. Week 1 was all about game winning kicks (or missies), week 2 seems to be about big comebacks.

 

And this

 

 

Great bounce back from week 1. Run game looked solid and some receivers were actually being used! On to the SUCS next week.

 

That was evident as I was not holding my breath. Bears are just fodder for the Fackers...plain and simple.

Rivalry would be something if it was actually somewhat of a fight -- which it is not.




Hope the Sucs and Fackers get swallowed up in a giant sinkhole and do the rest of the planet a favor.

 

Though, as much as I don't like to rail on refs, the game's calls were brutal for Chicago. That 4 and inches non-TD was frankly, a TD.

I'm a realist though, TD or not, I did not expect Chicago to win but it would've made the SNF more interesting.

 

That call goes both ways. Had it been called a TD on the field it would have stood as called. No definitive footage of where the ball was. I get it though, it sucks being a bears fan!

 

Info we all assumed

 

There was a brief picture of his foot not pointing in a natural direction - looked bad.

 

Guess it's a good idea to have not traded/released Jimmy G...........

 

Someone should make sure it wasn't Jimmy out on the field in a Seahawk uniform making that tackle.....

 

Bills are good

 

They certainly look good -

 

Week 2 of Fantasy Football...better numbers but still got beat thanks to my opponent's performance from Hill of the Fish. I also got a donut from my Indy defence which I may change out?

 

Defense is tough, especially with all the rule changes. I know some people who strictly play the matchup that week and change again the following week

 

 

There are a few in my league doing that. I should try that though, it's hard to project how well a D will do TBH...thought Indy's was decent...didn't expect a goose-egg in Week 2.

Henry has been a bust so far as a 1st rounder...but, I gather it's only Week 1. I may need to shake up my QB position too with Fields being my QB1 right now. Though, justifiably, he played okay against SF and was against an elite D against the Fackers.

I'll hold onto him a bit longer with a softer schedule coming up.

 

In standard scoring, defenses are more or less a liability than anything else. Wait until they score -7 on you.

There are only a small handful of defenses you can actually start week after week without much consideration. IMHO this year that's likely just the Bills and Tampa. The next Tier of defenses you can start most weeks, but you also need to be mindful of when they play the Bills or KC or some nonsense like that and consider if there are better options. The next tier are streaming options, which means you might change out a defense every single week and go purely based on who has the most favorable matchup.

I rarely have a Tier 1 defense and most seasons I aim for Tier 2, which is acquire and hold a defense that's good in most situations, but maybe stream the weeks they play really good offenses (but keep them on the roster). However in order to do that, you need roster room. One to keep the "good most of the time" defense" and one to add a streamer when needed (and for the bye week).

But I've had seasons (like this one) where I'm going to stream 100%. Mostly because I thought Miami was going to be a "good most of the time" defense and they got killed last week. I'm not sure now they are worth holding. And they play the Bills next. I streamed Cleveland and got zero for my trouble. So streaming is tough, mostly because if everyone is holding a defense on their roster for "keeps" the pool isn't great. But if you are going to go there, look ahead - grab the defense that has the best match up 2 weeks from now. You'll snipe them from the other people streaming. But you have to dedicate 2 roster spots to defenses to do that - the one you are playing this week, and the one you have ready for next week.

Regarding Indy, they play KC next week then TEN. So you definitely want another option next week, and I'm not sure yet if they are worth holding honestly. If you can trade up for a better match up next week do it. Keep your eye out for better "good most of the time" defense.

 

I have the same problem with Fields. Dak was QB1, so I'm stuck with Fields. The list of waiver QBs is not awesome - Jimmy G, Mariota, maybe Flacco if he still starts. But Fields is already in that tier so maybe I'll hold and hope for better.

 

Thanks, @1Louder ...

Looking at the waiver wire, defenses available currently:

- Jax
- Atl
- Min
- Phi
- Sea
- Chi
- Mia
- LAC
- KC (hmmm, maybe them)
- NO (or them)

 

IMHO.....

The sources I have point to SEA and and CHI as solid streamers next week. But SEA gets DET in week 4 at DET, then NO and ARI. CHI gets HOU, NYG, then MIN. ATL vs SEA and then CLE isn't bad either. NO gets CAR, MIN then SEA and CIN - also not a bad stretch.

JAX gets LAC then PHI - I'd want nothing to do with that. MIN gets DET then NO, hard pass. PHI vs WAS then JAX....not thrilled at that.

 

What do you think of the Chefs for D?

Leaky defense, right? They don't get alot of counting stats which is what I need.

 

Versus IND next week maybe, but I think there are better choices.

But right after IND they play TB, LV, BUF, SF, then a BYE. I'm not touching them against those teams. FantasyPros (the site I like to use) has them a #15 for week 3. Per that list, CHI, SEA, NO and ATL are better choices for next week but a good margin.

Put in a waiver claim for the Seahawks. Bears are just too young/inexperienced to trust outside of maybe Dave Monty at RB for some decent points here and there...

 

 

^ Sure...but all via cheating so, really...not impressive.

With that system and all the advantages given, even QEII would have this many Superbowl Rings.

 

Defenses fluctuate a lot except a select few elite ones that were already drafted. If you feel you whiffed on Defense, watch a few and check out their stats. Are they getting points off fluke TD's or legit points against, etc.

@ Dolphins.

Call me impressed.

 

patriots

 

I'm conflicted RE: Fackers/Sucs game. On one hand, watching the Cheat lose and not buy a TD even if he has all the cheating and 99% of the all-stars on his roster was pretty pretty pretty damn awesome. On the other hand, the Fackers got a win out of this.

I guess, it cancels...so, I'm not ahead or behind. I'll take it.


@ Cheat. :ibherageretiresnao:

 

They'll cheat harder next week.

 

by the butt block?

 

Which made it even more impressive.

 

I have to think fans in Denver are like:

 

The ex-assistant Patriot coach in Vegas is 0-3
