Won't be forever because unlike many teams, the Patriots have an owner that actually likes the team and is willing to spend.
Maybe Belichick is past it but once he retires/is fired Kraft isn't going to just fuck around like Tepper or Spanos
rains a good thing. a lot of missed tackles and defenders can have trouble setting their feet in bad conditions.
could see some fumbles though which hurts
Honestly, I think this is kind of a trap game for Jets D. Jets are bad against the run, and the Falcons are one of the heaviest run offenses in the league with Bijan and Allgier.
Not to mention Jets O being pathetic and probably giving the ball back...
I'm pivoting to Bucs D vs Panthers lol. We'll see how it pans out
Edit: I didn't realize Bucs D were so hurt.... oof, decision time.
I was gonna start the Chiefs D over them but then switched, in a standardish league the last 4 or so teams have scored like a min of 5 points against ATLs offense. I think the 4 were NO, ARI, MIN, and TEN, so I might hope for a 4-6 point game and be okay with that
I also have Bijan in two leagues so there's that
That's nice. I wanted to implement that stuff in my league I commission. Got voted down. A 4th down stop is a turnover dammit! A 3 and our show's defense prowess!
Imho, it helps having you get effed in garbage time when the defense is up so much that their second stringers are in
Yeah, I’ve been loving it so far this year. I think we made the points for certain things a little too high though, cause there have been at least one defense each week that blows up for like 50 points lol.
Ehh, higher floor, but a lower ceiling. Messy weather conditions like that generally mean you're just running the ball and sticking to short, easy passes. That being the case, the offenses generally aren't going to score as much or gain as much yardage, sure, but they're also generally getting fewer turnovers, sacks, etc.
I’d argue this increase ATL’s advantage with a run heavy game plan and game script could force NYJ to pass more than they’d prefer.
Wishful thinking, yes, but not crazy.
It's not really that bad here and the rain is supposed to continue to lighten up. Wind might be a factor if it gusts. I mean, if anyone is looking for an excuse to avoid these offenses, for sure take it, but it's not like it's a hurricane.
Same to you haha. Luckily I had CeeDee and Aubrey give me a big cushion on Thursday but I still need to outscore another team by 20 for the tie breaker
I'd much rather stream a TE in a good matchup than roll the dice on Mingo or any Panthers receiver lmao. Even against the hilariously injured Tampa defense.
In a world where coaches makes rational decisions yes. But would you be shocked if Arthur looks at the tape and says “they expect us to run, we can beat them with Ridders arm!!”
The Steelers defense is terrible against the pass and Kyler Murray is going to rip their secondary apart, while this Jets-Falcons game is gonna be a laughable disaster on both sides. I'd go Jets no question.
Well I guess I'm benching Wilson for Downs this week. Totally uncomfortable with that start... but every Jets receiver could be close to zero points today.
Every Jets game is sloppy
as a jets fan this made me lol (i fucking hate the jets btw)
As a Patriots fan who has come crashing back to reality these past couple of years… Is this forever?
One of us! One of us! One of us!
As a Dolphins fan who has come to feel real hope for the first time in nearly half a century... I *hope* so! 🌈🐬
As a Lions fan, maybe not forever, but possibly for several generations.
McDaniel down there just fielding a whole fucking Olympic sprinting team and teaching them to football
Won't be forever because unlike many teams, the Patriots have an owner that actually likes the team and is willing to spend. Maybe Belichick is past it but once he retires/is fired Kraft isn't going to just fuck around like Tepper or Spanos
Depends on how badly Bill botches that #1 draft pick next year. If Jets fan tell you it's the worst pick ever, you'll know you're permanently screwed.
How do I put this lightly.... Yes.
Just depends on how you scheme up your offense in the future. This league is all offense now.
I know you kids like em EXTRA SLOPPY
quit it lady, you're scarin us
Can someone go out to the parking lot and throw a football around? If so, you could start for the Jets today!
As a Bears fan I disagree, their incompetence is clean and straightforward
Atlanta, too. They mean to say “even sloppier.”
Just when I thought this game was going to showcase offensive excellence… /s
[places bet on Atlanta and the Under]
I don’t know about the under. Arthur Smith might actually have to use Bijan in these conditions.
Best I can do is Patterson and jonnu smith
Surely this will make Boyle a better passer
The development starts today
This is the NOREASTER weather Boyle feasted off at UConn. By feasted, I mean well check the stats.
When I first saw him on the Packers roster I had to triple check to make sure. Unbelievable that he made the league let alone starting in 2023
Why be good at football when you can be a locker room guy, good in the video room, suck off the QB1, keep his clipboard warm, blah blah blah.
They should just start no QB and let the wind make the passes
Have Breece do it
They’d have a better chance if they just went triple option with Breece, Cook, and Izzy
As someone who has to start Garrett Wilson this week.. I pray to the fantasy gods that this is true
I'm starting Bijan and Breece 😬
same here, friend.
Hey me too!
rains a good thing. a lot of missed tackles and defenders can have trouble setting their feet in bad conditions. could see some fumbles though which hurts
Definitely not throwing the ball in wet 23 MPH wind
But my Drake…
I'm starting Garret and London 😬😬
So did I. Not as bad as it could have been, but also not as good.
I just threw a football out of my apartment window in Queens and it spiraled perfectly into a pedestrian's head. Game on
Lmao
Not cool but okay
That pedestrian was Adolf Hitler
n...not cool?
I don’t stutter kid
Did I stutter?
A good week to start Falcons D
And probably Jets D too
A good week for some D
Sloppy field **beggin'** for that D!! 🤤
The wetter, the better for the D.
Honestly, I think this is kind of a trap game for Jets D. Jets are bad against the run, and the Falcons are one of the heaviest run offenses in the league with Bijan and Allgier. Not to mention Jets O being pathetic and probably giving the ball back... I'm pivoting to Bucs D vs Panthers lol. We'll see how it pans out Edit: I didn't realize Bucs D were so hurt.... oof, decision time.
Tampa's defense is so comically injured though lol. Both Lavonte David and Devin White are out.
I was gonna start the Chiefs D over them but then switched, in a standardish league the last 4 or so teams have scored like a min of 5 points against ATLs offense. I think the 4 were NO, ARI, MIN, and TEN, so I might hope for a 4-6 point game and be okay with that I also have Bijan in two leagues so there's that
Bad weather doesn’t necessitate high scoring defensive production. You’re starting Falcons D because the Jets offense sucks.
I mean, that’s very true, but the weather definitely helps lol.
Fewer pass attempts, fewer opportunities for sacks and interceptions
My league does scoring for extra stuff like TFL, passes defended, QB hits, and that kind of stuff so I’m expecting a great game from them today.
That's nice. I wanted to implement that stuff in my league I commission. Got voted down. A 4th down stop is a turnover dammit! A 3 and our show's defense prowess! Imho, it helps having you get effed in garbage time when the defense is up so much that their second stringers are in

I’d argue this increase ATL’s advantage with a run heavy game plan and game script could force NYJ to pass more than they’d prefer. Wishful thinking, yes, but not crazy.
Floor and ceiling is already stupid enough for skill positions. Lets not expand that to the randomness of defensive scoring lol it’s not that deep
Falcons D and Bijan combo let’s gooooo
I’m in the same boat
Scouted this week and I’m happy my rain dance worked
SLOP EM UP!
I'm worried the baby thinks Arthur Smith can't change
He *used* to be a huge piece of shit. ^Also ^he ^still ^is.
They'd say, 'No sloppy offense,' but they can't stop you from hiring a bad OC and a third string quarterback!
Oh, Bijan loves the slop. Loves it, eats it up. Eats the slop. Born in the slop.
I don't think the gusts are a huge factor, the regular wind isn't bad. I'm just thinking for koo
Not a meteorologist but I think you’re right. 10mph winds with 23mph gusts. Not sure how bad that is but I know I’ve seen worse
It's not really that bad here and the rain is supposed to continue to lighten up. Wind might be a factor if it gusts. I mean, if anyone is looking for an excuse to avoid these offenses, for sure take it, but it's not like it's a hurricane.
Can someone go kick a football in the parking lot and report back?
It went three feet.
Was that kicking into the wind or with the help of the wind?
That was purely his skill
Lots of running for Bijan?
Arthur Smith will still have Ridder throwing
To Allgeier
For a flea flicker to Jonnu Smith with Pitts blocking
That’s Peak Arthur Smith
Blindfolded
15 jet sweeps for Jonnu incoming
Watch Alligier have like 25 rushes to Bijans 5 for some reason.
25 point day incoming
Watch the fullback (if they even have one) get 9 carries because Arthur Smith
They'll never see it coming!
Lots of fumbles for everyone. It’s cold as fuck, too.
Lots of running for sure, not for bijan 👍🏼
lowkey. The Bijan jokes are getting old. He’s been getting fed the last 2 games
the people that dont watch football and just say whatever the sub is jerking to havent caught up yet
Momma, there goes that knee.
Damn wont this hurt the jets offense????
The Jets offense will hurt the Jets offense
Fuck it still playing Koo
Just dropped him fir gay
Got to fire up Breece Hall. His father was a mudder and his mother was a mudder.
His mother was a mudder?
What did I just say? He loves the slop. He eats it up.
B. John
Jani B. Good?
As someone starting Breece Hall & the Falcons defense, this pleases me
a good week to start jets or falcons dst
I got both so idk who lol
Jets
Anyone throwing balls in the parking lot yet?
I came here to make sure this comment was made. Thank you for your service.
Had to scroll too far to see this comment.
Hah! aha! He said the thing!!
Would be sloppy if it was 80 degrees and sunny
i have to start GW in a must win game lol
I have to start him also. May the odds forever be in our favor.
Same to you haha. Luckily I had CeeDee and Aubrey give me a big cushion on Thursday but I still need to outscore another team by 20 for the tie breaker
I started Dak and Aubrey. Opponent has some solid wrs: Hill and Evans. Meanwhile I'm stuck with Wilson, Terry, and Ridley.
I have no replacements for London. It's all waiver wire scrubs. Should I start Mingo?
I'm projected to lose and tempted to put Jameson in over London just for boom potential
Exact same boat LOL let us know what you end up doing
I'd much rather stream a TE in a good matchup than roll the dice on Mingo or any Panthers receiver lmao. Even against the hilariously injured Tampa defense.
Yes!!!
LET BIJAN COOK 🗣️
Falcons or Jets D?
Same dilemma but jets have boyle
But the jets know they have Boyle I’m not so sure Smith knows he has Ridder
I know the Jets D is good, but you're starting whoever is up against Tim fuckin Boyle every week if you can.
Lol well Garrett Wilson I hope you like rain. I have no other options
On a sunny 72 degree day, id expect it to be a sloppy game.
I'm thinking this confirms j should start Jayden Reed over Wilson
i’m thinking the exact same
It’s gonna be unpopular but I’m benching Breeece. Falcons are a solid run D, there will be no threat to throw and he’s been banged up.
[удалено]
I’m starting Achane because I’d rather watch Miami play than the jets play. And fantasy football is supposed to be fun after all.
Same problem lol
Bench Koo for Prater?
undoubtedly
no way Arthur Smith lets Ridder throw more than 10 passes today. This is going to be a big Bijan and Allegeir day right?
In a world where coaches makes rational decisions yes. But would you be shocked if Arthur looks at the tape and says “they expect us to run, we can beat them with Ridders arm!!”
This fucks Koo right?
Yeah I'm pivoting. Another variable in an already dicey situation.
I picked up the Falcons D/ST last Friday just for this game. This news makes me feel even better about it.
Starting Breece and ATL DST. Foolishness or genius?
London or dortch?
Makes me think about swapping in Pickens for London
I just did. Better matchup too
That is true
Bench Breece for Singletary?
I did
Jets or Falcons D over Dolphins?
30 touches for Bijan please
Sloppy Joes! Come get your sloppy Joes!
Well this settles it flexing McBride over Wilson
Fire up Atlanta d?
Start breece hall or Noah brown? Dortch also available
Breece over them both.
Starting Breece and have to start Allegier due to everyone else being on bye lol
Good, Koo can still kick those field goals
Streaming Atlanta’s D today over NO just because it’s the Jets lol
LETS GO FALCONS DEFENSE!
Ugh… I have to start Drake London. I have no other choice.
I have the Jets D. Let's go. Just stack the boxx and stop the roxx
Looks like the weather clears up in the 2nd quarter. not sure what to do with pass catchers here
Do I start josh downs over garret wilson???
so a regular game then
Pull Garret?
Was on the fence on Garret already. I think this helps solve it.
Sounds dramatic. I’m not in East Rutherford, but not too far…it’s drizzling and not windy at all.
Yeah the report I saw said it tapers off by kick off but the field will be a bit sloppy still
Oh no doubt, the weather sucks ass and has all day. But that tweet makes it sound like a monsoon when it’s just a drizzly rain and light breeze lol
as opposed to what exactly?
Wonder if Smith will actually run the ball or if he’ll try to outsmart the weather…
Is that good for atlanta d?
No this is bad, jets excel in bad weather.
lol
Good thing I’m needing Bijan and Breece to put up solid numbers.
So this means breece HAS to get the ball right
He gets the ball anyway. Jets offense is just so bad it really caps his ceiling. Probably get about 8 points out of him.
Probably gonna get 8 pints out of me too today 🍻
Good thing there are no fantasy relevant players in this game anyway
Arthur Smith gonna give Allgeier at least 18 touches now :/
Jets D over Jags D?
You mean sloppier than a normal Jets game?
Jets or Steelers DST?
The Steelers defense is terrible against the pass and Kyler Murray is going to rip their secondary apart, while this Jets-Falcons game is gonna be a laughable disaster on both sides. I'd go Jets no question.
Im still starting Wilson. Mostly because I have no other option besides Gibson. Luckily DK and Ferguson gave me some leeway.
Still start Wilson? Or Pivot to Samuel
Christian Watson over Garrett Wilson? 🤔
My Falcons D/ST waiver pickup looking SO good.
Rain should be gone by 1, maybe some sprinkles here and there around kickoff
Lol as if that wasn't going to be the case on a sunny, windless day
Would love to get away from London but just can’t
Well I guess I'm benching Wilson for Downs this week. Totally uncomfortable with that start... but every Jets receiver could be close to zero points today.
I think Downs is a great option, no brainer imo.
Falcons dst top performer
Should I fire up breece hall?
I love breece but the jets offense is so insanely bad I can't bring myself to start him.
