As I type this a few things are happening.
-Ruby, our elder dog must be having a pleasant snooze because her tail is wagging back and forth.
-My age-old fantasy leagues are dying on the vine. There’s now six of us left for the draft and four (!) of us for the auction. There was a crew of seven of us that were there from Day 1 (other folks cycled in and out over the years) and one of our founders just called it quits the other day. I didn’t want to be the first of the originals to go and I don’t want to be the guy that tells the commish to shut down the auction at least. He’s looking for some other folks to fill out the remaining spots. The leagues are 25 or 26 years old-it was a good run.
To The Games!
Commies/Chiefs:
-I’ve given up on Mecole Hardman-you can have him. (Hardman has the obligatory 1,300 yards 10 TD season of course)
-Carson Wentz will be benched at some point and that’s apropos because this perfectly cromulent team needs the perfectly cromulent Taylor Heinicke leading them to a sub .500 record.
-I decided that Scary Terry and Allen Robinson were ‘qb-proof’ in that they were going to get their numbers no matter who was tossing the ball. I drafted both of them last year. I suck.
Bucs/Titans:
-There’s still no time tabled for TB’s return. My guess is that supply chain issues are messing with his monthly quota of fresh Sudanese orphan baby juice. Once you get hooked it’s hard to break the habit.
-Where are my fellow Racey McMath peeps at?
-The Titans are slowly upgrading their wr unit but it still doesn’t look very good.
Raiders/Fins:
-Lotta folks like Zamir White but it makes a lot of sense to me to run Jacobs ragged and then trade him for picks later on. Look for White to start shining about week 10 or so.
-If Tua doesn’t flourish with Tyreek, Waddle and Wilson Jr catching his balls (uhhh…) then he’s got to be done.
-If that happens I just see the Fins on a perpetual 9-8 hamster wheel.
Niners/Vikes:
-Apparently qb Lance is doing a fantastic imitation of Josh Allen’s rookie year. He’s mixing explosive athleticism with an incredible arm that has a mind of its own. I want to see him play.
-Why does a 33/7 TD/Int Kirkie get crapped on and Justin Jefferson is given all the hosanna’s in the world? Such a disparity in perception between these two that obviously need each other.
-Perhaps the Vikes lack of success has something to do with Dalvin missing 25 games since 2017, just guessing.
Steelers/Jags:
-Freiermuth from weeks 7 to 11 was targeted 33 times and produced 5 TD’s. And then the Steelers went away from him. smh.
-Etienne was on a fantasy channel and announced that he was taking himself 1st overall in his own league. I’d love to have half that much self-confidence.
Cowboys/Chargers:
-Dallas’ wr unit is all kinds of banged up-who do they think they are, the Giants O-line?
-This might be a good time to get a good look at Jalen Tolbert.
-Imagine if Herbert got hurt-it’s a helluva long way down to Chase Daniels, let me tell you what.
-This is a thing that bugs me-why do teams not have backup qb’s that somewhat mirror the starters abilities? So if you’ve got a ROP offence why would you not have a qb that can run? If you’ve got a Herbert why the hell would you not have a strong-armed backup instead of Mr. Noodle Arm? But no, “Let’s throw 25-30% of our playbook out the window now.”
Do some venting down below.
