I look forward to this every year. God I love it so much.
Sooooooon
Got my two opening day Draft Kings lineups for the big contest.
QB: Jameis Winston v. SF | Philip Rivers v. IND
RB: Mark Ingram v. MIA | Mark Ingram v. MIA
RB: Saquon Barkley v. DAL | Saquon Barkley v. DAL
WR: Tyler Lockett v. CIN | Tyler Lockett v. CIN
WR: Mike Williams v. IND | Mike Williams v. IND
WR: Chris Godwin v. SF | Sammy Watkins v. KC
TE: Evan Engram v. DAL | Hunter Henry v. IND
FLEX: Miles Sanders v. WAS | Kerryon Johnson v. ARI
DST: Seattle v. CIN | Baltimore v. MIA
Figured to stack QB with receiving options as a big tournament strategy to hopefully double up if I happened to guess right. So I have Jameis with Godwin and then in the other lineup Rivers with Williams and Henry.The two shittiest teams imo are the Dolphins and Bengals so I picked the defenses that play them. Then Ingram and Barkley are my RBs that are in both lineups Barkley because he is a stud and I kinda sorta like his OLine this year which is weird (Nate Solder, Will Hernandez, the Center that was aight before he lost the rest of the year to injury, Kevin Zeitler and Mike Remmers who was aight the last time he played for Shurmur), I think the floor is high on Barkley and unless Dallas shuts NY out I think Barkley scores. Ingram is because a) Miami is fucking awful b) maybe that hurricane Dorian distracts the Dolphins and they play even worse than garbage --plus the Ravens run the ball like 40 times a game so hopefully Ingram gets the points.
Likewise I'm running two matching WRs in each lineup with Mike Williams and Tyler Lockett. Tyler Lockett is pretty simple a) the Bengals are trash b) who else is Wilson going to throw to. Mike Williams I think Keenan Allen has a minor ankle issue and obviously Tyrell Williams is a Raider now so Mike Williams kinda sorta looks like a top option with a discount price to me. I don't think Indy is bad, but like the retirement of Luck might have a negative morale impact and they underperform, also the lack of Melvin Gordon implies a more passing oriented game plan until they can settle out the Eckler/Jackson situations -- like Rivers is the experience here so I feel like the game plan will focus on him and therefore Williams gets a sizable portion of the gameplan (shit OL too, so I think primary reads will be important). The WR I differentiate is Godwin and Watkins. Sammy Watkins is pretty simple, the Chiefs are retarded expensive and Jalen Ramsey is going to follow Tyreek, so if KC is good and Tyreek is somewhat erased this looks like one of those games that Watkins can randomly get 100 yards and a TD to me (ie. a split between his performances weeks 6 and 7 last year when Tyreek didn't have an insane game, also JAX is going to be hot and humid as hell post Dorian and a speedy guy with a rocket armed QB launching it to him is something I could see burning a spent CB). On the same Dorian line, Godwin has that upside again SF. Mike Evans is number one, but SF has Sherman and if they match up the difference between Godwin v.. whoever the fuck SF puts as #2 should be exploitable especially Witherspoon who is a big physical guy that I could see being affected by hot humidity and giving up separation, in the Godwin lineup I have him stacked with Jameis to exploit this.
Tight End I didn't want to punt so early in the season which is why I dont really have "stud" players outside of Barkley, Engram I think (outside of Barkleys catches) is the Giants pass game week 1. Everyone else has been hurt or in Tate's case suspended. Eli can have upgraded OL and dink dunk to Engram, like for sure Eli isn't going to have less than 200 yards right? Hunter Henry is pretty cheap and stacked with Rivers. I can envision Rivers ripping up Indy if they are mentally thinking "Luck quit we lost our championship hopes", like they have to be thinking that somewhat and may gain back confidence later, but week 1? Rivers? I think Henry is the other outlet for Rivers with Williams with Keenan Allen a defensive focus and having an ankle issue those two get boosts. Miles Sanders I'm a little scared of, I really like him and I think he is the obvious one to get carries, but I could see the Eagles flaunting depth and fucking it up. If they do give him a full or near full load this game against a pretty fucked Redskins team I could see a big game and I doubt he is massively owned as a rookie in a committee week 1 (BTW the Skin's WR1 is Terry McLaurin a rookie who has 0 catches in preseason and the QB is Case Keenum, so I expect Eagles heavy favorites and run the ball a lot). My other Flex is Kerryon. I think this new coach Kingsbury is going to be too focused on offense given this is his first game and he wants to showcase Murray. Dalvin Cook had two carries against the starters and had like 80 yards and a TD. I think Kerryon could have his game of the year against ARI to open. Defense is obvious plays against Bengals without Green and a OL of Andre Smith (Cordy Glenn is hurt), Michael Jordan (a mid round rookie), Trey Hopkins (Billy Price the former first rounder is listed as a backup), John Miller, and Bobby Hart. This line looks super dogshit imo. Andy Dalton isn't a stud, and without a line I'm not confident Joe Mixon can carry the team. Seattle also has Clowney who maybe is motivated like Mack was for his game one post trade and blow it up, especially against the likes of Bobby Hart and Andre Smith. Baltimore is going to destroy Miami for my other defense. They traded for Josh Rosen, then start Fitzpatrick over him. Fitz has thrown 5 INT in a game because he doesn't give a fuck if they are down he will take shots to at least try to come back and gives no fucks what the stat line looks like at the end of the game. They had one offensive good player in Tunsil and traded him. Their line is Julien Davenport (a bad player from a bad Texans OL who has been with the team like a week), Mike Deiter a mid round rookie, Daniel Kilgore a 49ers cast off, Shaq Calhoun, and Jessie Davis (I think he played G for them last year but since they traded both tackles the bad to lower average guard is now RT lol). Then they had Kenny Stills and Albert Wilson, one was traded and the other is hurt. So at WR I guess its Davante Parker who has done nothing and uh... Preston Williams the undrafted rookie who had a decent preseason game and then made mistakes the next? Then there is the hurricane and heat conditions to make them tired and I think Baltimore may absolutely destroy this team. I'm not 100% sold on the pass rushing of the Ravens this year, but Brandon Williams against Kenyan Drake who won't play a full load anyways (he average 7.5 carries a game last year) should reduce run threat a bit, and the secondary of Marlon Humphries, Jimmy Smith, Tony Jefferson and Earl Thomas will man handle any "passing" game out of the equation. I think heat and a absolute shit OL makes a potentially average pass rush look like a god tier one this game especially with any passing options locked down by the top four of their secondary. Julien Davenport was graded a low 50s and Jesse Davis a mid 50s player last year, Calhoun is a UDFA rookie, Kilgore a low 50s grade, and I kinda liked Dieter as a developmental guard but if I remember right he lacked power to start -- this is death for Miami PFF ranked them as the worst OL and then the traded Tunsil lol.
Are we doing Pick Em this year? I rejoined the group just in case. First game is tonight, so make your pick if you're playing.
I rejoined
12 team standard scoring league, 2nd year playing fantasy for me
QB Deshaun Watson, Kirk Cousins
RB Christian McCaffrey, Kerryon Johnson, Matt Breida, Darrell Henderson
WR Keenan Allen, Cooper Kupp, Tyler Boyd, Dede Westbrook, Michael Gallup, Geronimo Allen, Hunter Renfrow
TE Evan Engram
DEF Browns
K Harrison Butker
I feel pretty good about this. I need to get some depth at TE, and probably another RB, just waiting to see who among the bench receivers I want to dump. Renfrow seems obvious but I want to stash him because I think he'll breakout by the end of the year and might be useful, especially if AB has ongoing issues and Carr needs a slot possession receiver.
Bears looked awful offensively outside of Allen Robinson. They need to feature Montgomery, Mike Davis isn't an answer and Cohen had a bad drop.
Kinda mad about the pickem. I think I just picked all the favorites as stand ins since it seemed like I needed an entry just to join, but I thought I had changed my pick to the packers. I kept saying that Rodgers did it on one leg last year, so they'll win again this year because he has two. :(
Also KB that team looks pretty good, I don't see any real weakness except yeah, maybe you wanna stash a 5th RB or backup TE.
I don't even know who half of those people are lol.Quote:

TE Evan Engram (TE and kinda WR on the Giants)
DEF Browns (actually a popular Defense this year on schedule and they have real pieces like DL has Myles Garret the top pick a couple years ago, Sheldon Richardson and the DE from the Giants who the Giants gave a fuck ton of money to but then changed schemes, also two highly drafted young corners and the young LBs did good in preseason)
K Harrison Butker (kicker for the Chiefs so lots of XP attempts)
Antonio Brown released. Raiders really fucked the dog on this one.
I kind of feel like Tua Tagovailoa is going to be a Raider. Dolphins get Trevor Lawerence in a double year tank. Raiders signed Trent Brown to top LT money and put him as RT which could be getting him ready to be a left handed QBs blind side protector.
Raiders traded amari cooper away, then traded a 3rd and 5th for the right to cut antonio brown so he could sign with the Patriots
Antonio Brown is a fucking genius not going to lie.
He got the Raiders to get him out of Pittsburgh. Acted just enough of a fool without doing anything really suspension worthy to get cut. Then signs with the Pats to win the SB.
Yep. Like I said, Raiders fucked the dog. Nice job, Mayock.
As soon as I saw he got cut, I knew he was going to go to the fucking Pats.
Great. Just great. This season already sucks and it hasn't begun yet. Fucking hell...
This isn't NFL but football related. Pretty cool.

He def planned this shit right? I wonder if the Raiders can get the league to investigate some sort of tampering and get their first rounder.
It was a pats plan from the start. Brown wanted out at Pitt. Pats want him but don't want to pay him a ton of cash. Brown, understanding that he can get a SB, decides to forgo for one year. Agent gets him to sign anywhere (Raiders). Brown then shows up "out of his mind" so he can get fired. Moment he is fired, Pats sign him for cheap and Brown gets to play for a ring while Pats paid little and will win.
If it was any other team I would be impressed. But since it is the Pats, Fuck them with a broken spoon.
Pats are paying him essentially what the Raiders were going to (Raiders 14.5mil year 1, NE 15mil year 1) , but broken into one year deals instead of a 3 year. They happened to have the exact amount of open cap space to do this, where they never carry this much cap.Quote:

Want him to be Larry Fitzgerald? Well not everyone is Larry Fitzgerald. That’s life. They hired him to kick ass on Sunday and he always has and will again this year...for the Patriots.
Mike Mayock has no coaching experience. He’s a first year GM. He doesn’t know his to deal with NFL players. He fined AB for shit that ultimately would have meant nothing and went after his contract and guarantees. Mayock either knew they would destroy the relationship and did it anyway, or he didn’t...and should have. Either way he fucked the dog and I believe he will get fired.
Also, you want every player to be treated the same, fine. Cool. Pay every player $20 million a year. Or pay every player league minimum. Both ideas are retarded. All players are NOT the same. Everyone knows that. Jesus.
What? That's not what I am saying at all. What I am saying is Antonio wanted out of Pittsburgh. Antonio Brown and his agent Drew Rosenhaus contacted the Patriots to trade for Brown. The Steelers said no, they won't trade him to the Patriots.
The Steelers try to trade him to the Bills, but the Bills back out when it's obvious that Brown wants no part in being a Bill. They didn't want to be what the Raiders ended up being. The Raiders traded for him and he did just enough to get released, then posted his celebration video of getting released in that video he calls his grandmother who has been talking about being released so he can be free to do what he wants. Then within an hour he has a contract for 15mil from the Patriots (the Patriots never carry this much cap space to pull this deal off, this fast into the season). People saying Brown lost money are being naive. He was getting 14.5mil from Oakland this year if he played. He is getting 15mil from the Patriots. Julio just got 22mil, next year AB will get another contract and make more money than his 3 year deal in Oakland.
The Raiders traded a 3rd and 5th for AB to go from the Steelers to the Patriots and even the league is saying they believe this was set up from the start. I hope the Raiders get a reimbursement pick in 2020 for being fucked over.
It's even been reported AB hired social media consultants on how best accelerate his release from the Raiders, he isn't nuts he is genius. I just hope if the Patriots were involved they get punished. If AB masterminded it himself then good on him. I doubt the Pats weren't involved with the speed it worked out and how they were interested before the Steelers said no.
I've been pretty vocal I don't like football but this has literally been dominating the radio all day and it's fucking hilarious. Listen online at 98.5 the Sports Hub which is our local sports station anytime tomorrow and even all the local sports journalists are laughing about it like oh man, if the country hated us already we might go down as the most detestable sports organization of all time with this, especially if we win again. It's so fucking funny, they're not even trying to deny it. The two dudes on the radio were just laughing about it all morning like we're going to be so hated absolutely everywhere we go if this is successful. People here don't even care either, they've totally accepted the role of villain and completely embraced it. Looking in from the outside it's the funniest shit ever.
People already hate Boston for more reasons than I can count, so I think everyone is at the point where there like eh fuck it and fuck you. It's a weird thing being from here, even within Massachusetts lots of people outside the city hate the city. My parents got my sister and I out of Boston when were kids and even as a little kid other kids parents in the suburbs didn't want me around their children because of where I was from. So even though I don't care about football and honestly have zero investment if the Patriots win, I agree, fuck it, hate us all you want because it just makes me laugh at this point.
I see what you mean, Hulky. Well played to AB and the Pats for pulling this off I guess.
I drafted Marlon Mack in my fantasy league ..... Sat him out this week in favor of Joe Mixon and Damien Williams. Granted, Williams had a fine game, but Mack fkkin' destroyed today.
Not sure why the league didn't step in and go "ummm this is shady as hell. Deal denied."
Because the Patriots run this shit.

He either interpreted the saying right or wrong
Lol. That’s awesome.
What a great game tonight.
crazy how Watson had that insane comeback but 38 seconds or whatever was too much time left
More like playing shit prevent defense never works against Drew Brees. If you stop pressing receivers and stop rushing the passer, he will pick you apart every time. That last pass where they needed 7 yards to get in their field goal range and the Texans played a soft defense that gave up the easiest 9 yards you can imagine - like what are you hoping to do?
Had to look up their coaching staff to be sure. I want to hear Romeo Crennel describe his thought process on that last play.
Exactly, KB. That was terrible defensive coaching by Houston. They played like Brees needed to get 6 instead of 3. They didn’t even adjust after the first two easy passes. Why play 4 guys 30 yards deep against Drew Brees when you’re only protecting a 1 point lead? Lol. Unfuckingbelievable.
I did not all expect that performance from the Raiders. Down both guards and the OL was very impressive. Von Miller and Chubb are awesome and to have no sacks was insane. Jacobs was great. Tyrell looks legit. That long drive. Fuck great game.

Biggest surprise of week one so far is...?
