I've already done the math on what I need from Kelce on MNF: 4 TDs and 237 receiving yards.

So no worries then



These supposed fantasy experts keep saying sell high on Todd Gurley but why would you? He's putting up huge fantasy numbers every week. Keep him.

Ya, I've been thinking the same. Every week I hear "time to move Gurley," and he just keeps putting up points. At this point, what are you gonna move him for anyway? Like two other tier 1 performers? Who's gonna have that available for one, and then wanna pay it as well?



I might as well give up on prediction league. I'm doing so terrible but I guess it has been such a crazy season that others are having a hard time predicting wins also. I guess I'll sludge through this season but apparently this season is really hard to predict. Another terrible week incoming for me again.  I might as well just start choosing the opposite of who I think will win.

The first few weeks of the season are almost always a clusterfuck as we struggle to figure out who is good this season that wasn't last year, who's bad this season that was good last year, and who was good last season and will actually wind up being pretty good but is just having a rough start to the year. Every season, there's always a couple early upsets that make people go "No way! The NFL is totally unpredictable this year!" and then by Week 8 or 9 we've generally got a pretty well established order of who is good and who isn't.

If we get through 10 or so games and we've only got a couple 7+ win teams, then yeah, feel free to start up the nutty NFL season train. Which would be fine, haven't really had an utterly bonkers season since 2008 or so.

Yea this is only my second year in prediction league but it seemed like last year everything was ironed out within first few games.  Sure there will always be upsets but it seems like it is upset crazy this year so far.  I know the Browns still suck and that is about it.  I'll have to just perhaps do more research than picking the usual favorites.  Sometimes I let my personal bias against a team affect my picks also such as I highly dislike the Jets and the Giants.

Anyone know the result of SF@ARI? Is it still on after going into overtime?

Seems to still be going

 

I rate my chances of a fantasy win this week at about 50/50. Guess I'll have to sweat until tuesday morning and hope for the best

And it's still going after the 49ers scored in overtime. They used up a huge chunk of the overtime for their scoring drive.

Wouldn't surprise me if this field goal contest ended with a tie.

NFL.com says Palmer just passed for -22 yards. Impressive



I was trying to find your post Rol where you tell us who's who in fantasy league. Couldn't find it in this thread.
