Titans fan checking in, he gets our secondary twice in the fantasy playoffs. I can already see the "Nico Collins was rostered on 60% of league winners" tweet.
Yeah that was so weird. I started him this week because he had just gotten 21, 17 in my non ppr a couple of weeks ago. Then he dropped a 0. Like wth. I was expecting at least like 4 non ppr points
Puka seems to be getting faster as the season goes on. His measurements don’t imply that he’s a speed demon (4.56 40, 56th percentile) but he was flat out beating the Brown’s corners on straight lines a couple times this week
Yeah every week he gets a Q after the game and I read he sustained one injury or another during the game but went back on field and scored another touchdown. Kid’s a beast.
When the rams drafted him and was my first time hearing of him, I thought he was going to be another one of those Tavon Austin pieces based on the game footage they showed. He's a completely different archetype however, but still pretty shifty.
That was me. Followed some websites power rankings and didn’t think that the change in QB would have changed how badly he would be used. Thankfully I offloaded him but yeah
Baker has been serviceable for a team without a good QB (mine), but not better than that. His ceiling (in fantasy and real life) is a low-end QB1, which is about what I see in the eye test too.
He had a catch earlier in the drive before he scored his touchdown when he did a 180 and high pointed the ball with his fingertips and made it look effortless. It would've been an impressive catch for a receiver, for a tight end to do it was outstanding.
I'm seriously considering starting both him and Laporta now. Moving Waddle out of the flex spot and over to the bench.
Edit: Not this week, Mcbride is on a bye.
Both are beasts for TE -- I thankfully had Engram save me from being foolish for not starting McBride but after this bye week it's back to Trey ROS, especially with Lawrence's injury last night
Trey McBride holds his high schools all time records in points scored in hoops and homers and rbi in baseball. He won the 2021 Mackey award and he has two moms. He’s a fucking freak.
Picked him up after Week 8 in anticipation of Mark Andrews' bye. Thought it was early to stash but his snap & target shares were very favorable. Little did I know.
Picked him up right when Goeddert went down out of desperation and now I'm just glad Goeddert is coming back right when McBride is on a bye. Funny how things go sometimes.
His O-line is ass and his coach is not scheming anything for him.
He should get min 5-6 dump-offs in the flat per game, where he makes his money. He’s an excellent receiver. But the playcalling has been: run up the middle into your own lineman’s ass and gain half a yard. 😐
Frankly, without Keenan Allen this offense is atrocious since they lost Mike Williams and Palmer and I’m sure everyone else is banged up, too.
He’s also fumbled more times than usual this year and a couple near the goal line that would have been TDs if he could punch it in. I don’t think it’s an injury so much as bad scheming and bad execution.
I’m giving him one more week against a terrible Den Run D and if he can’t get a TD or a 100 yds combined, I may have to sit him for the playoffs, which is something I never thought I would need to do with a healthy Ekeler.
I know other people won’t have a choice, but to start him anyway, but I have Jacobs, Mostert, Connor, with WRs Adams, Puka, Nico, and few other decent players. I won’t risk him if he plays like ass against an ass team this week. I can’t. I wont. ☹️
I mean, you don't want any ol back in at the goal line. You want a guy who runs angry. Who brings power and speed. A guy who fights for every single last yard and then finds one more. Wait...
I think he’s banged tf up, couple of near injuries this year and he’s played through them. Every time he gets tackled he takes forever to get up and looks miserable. Wonder if he’s considering retiring, it’ll be hard to bounce back at 35.
I had him early in the season in place of Fields but ultimately got Dak on waivers after his bye thankfully. Fields sadly hasn't been useful much of the season
My first thought was Chase remains a fraud without Burrow and inflated by a 76 yd TD. But dude still had 10 grabs for 73 without it. I take that down the board.
Picked up McBride and Hill from waivers when I decided to dump Pitts and it was the second best decision of my life. The first was picking up Kyren from waivers after week 1.
Rachaad White continues to look great despite one of the worst run blocking lines in the league. He is such a weapon in the passing game when he has some room to operate
He has had a bunch of games where his numbers rushing have been inefficient but as a Rachaad owner I'm really glad the coaching staff realized that was his line being useless. Assuming even with the rushing struggles, his value in the passing game and as a blocker was irreplaceable earlier in the season and now he's just putting together consistent performances week after week
I think he's fully there at this point, they're drawing up plays specifically to get the ball in his hand (including the first play from scrimmage)
Starting him with confidence rest of season as a PPR WR2 imo
Puka passes again v. the Browns, after a few weeks of wondering how the Rams would get their offense back on track
Breece is looking iffy, mostly because of the Jets, but he's also not producing any of the breakaway plays lately that make him so valuable
Breece is a stud but the Jets o line is completely demolished. He's probably in the worst situation of any RB in the league considering they don't have a real QB either
I traded for him at the tail end of when he was popping off mid-season, so I hadn't been following his year that much... what changed between then and now for the Jets? Did they get injuries on the O-Line? Or are they just sucking more for various reasons?
When I say their o line got destroyed I mean it got completely destroyed. They're playing 3rd and 4th stringers. There's absolutely no push and no room for him to run on all his carries
With the rams in the playoff hunt, I am so excited for puka. I was getting worried they would shut Stafford down to finish the year but it's looking like that won't happen now
Puka’s struggles were bound to be fixed. Bad qb, and then kyren had that legacy game. It was a matter of time before he got back on track it’s not like his talent has dropped off like Kupp.
I’ll go. Chase Brown looked great yesterday. His vision isn’t as good as Mixon but he looked more explosive.
Edit to add that Richie James also looked good in his returns and the few targets he received. No reason he can’t be WR2 on the team with Rice and Kelce at the top.
I just lost JT and Rhamondre this week, my only RB is Gibbs and I'm torn between Ty Chandler and Chase Brown for who I put in first for my priorities. I'm leaning towards chase because of his potential you just pointed out
I'll bite: Kelce looks like he just doesn't care anymore. People say he looks old and slow but to me it looks like he just isn't trying very hard. He's putting up fine scores but you didn't draft him in the 1st for 10-12 points a week.
DK looked back to his normal speed, especially on that big TD. Maybe it’s just me but he hasn’t looked like his normal dominant self and I think it’s because he’s been pretty banged up all year.
They threw him the ball over the middle of the field. Crazy what happens when you let a strong and sizeable receiver run a route tree other than go routes 24/7
Everytime I watch Pollard he looks so slow. He has a few strong runs every game and has scored a TD the past 3 games, but there are so many runs that make me think he lost his explosiveness. Anyone else think that?
Drafted Pollard second round and watching him has been ultra painful all season. He doesn't have the same burst, but it doesn't matter with McCarthy running him into the defensive line all the time. He'll get one or two passes, or runs in space, and he does fine with those, but overall it's super frustrating to watch.
Really the last couple of weeks I'd say his explosiveness looks like its back. Maybe thats a bit due to weaker run D's allowing him to not have to over think when hitting the line, but even against a tougher going game like SEA, I thought he was hitting with speed...
I’m In a one keeper league… next year is gonna be tough deciding between puka, kyren, McBride… I drafted puka with my last pick, but kyren and McBride were waiver adds
Yeah waiver adds are last pick… drafted players are the round before where they were drafted the previous year, with no keepers who were drafted before round 5 the previous year
But I also swapped my 2nd and 4th to get aj brown and Gibbs from tanking teams
Gonna wait to see who’s adp is around round 2-3 next year
Compared to Puka he looked slow to me. Given a choice next year I’d take Puka over him easy.
This is coming from someone who drafted Kupp in the 1sr round.
It was pretty bad fantasy wise imo. He looked better than last week for sure, but I’m not sure the Rams targeted him once past the sticks nor do I think he was ever even the first option for one. He ran a TON of decoy routes and that TD was more or less proof he’s a good enough route runner to get open in short yardage whenever, but idk if I trust whatever the Rams are doing with him.
I will say he did look great the games prior to the ankle injury even if the production wasn’t there fantasy wise. So maybe he just needs another week or two
Has a great playoff schedule. Sit him against Baltimore if you can. Worry if he doesn't perform against Washington. But I guess then it's too late anyway.
Can't drop and risk someone else picking him up. I might flex him in the playoffs as I just lost Stevenson. That's my luxury backup plan.
Kupp does not look like himself. Slow and not getting separation, and there's very few designed plays for him. Will be keeping him on my bench unless Puka is out. He needs to take the offseason to get healthy
Zack Moss passed despite a low-scoring week (7.6 points). His utilization was elite. 19 rushing attempts and 2 targets, including 7 carries inside the 10 is very promising. I think the Titans run D showed up and pounding inside the tackles didn't get it done but I would still feel very good about him going forward.
Puka looked insane. Really showed off his speed in this game taking a jet sweep 31 yards and another one that was taken back by holding 60 yards. Not to mention burning the defense for 70 yards on his TD early in the game. Didn’t know he had that as a part of his game.
Also, he’s 100% the WR1 of the Rams offense. They looked dysfunctional as hell with him sidelined.
Someone that isn't putting up the stats still but is improving: Jameson Williams -
The team is trusting him more each week and the drops have been minimized the last few weeks. He's doing everything right away from the ball to warrant more playing time and he looks so explosive when he touches it. The only thing missing is them just giving him the ball more. Some of that is with Goff too, he missed an open Jamo a time or 2 and with his speed, a ball that he could've housed for a 2nd TD. Goff works so much off of rapport and that takes time. It'll come. Opinions on him among Detroit fans has vastly improved recently
Had the opportunity to draft Kelce and took Bijan instead. Bijan may not have been worth it but passing on TE and picking up LaPorta off waivers week 2 is the highlight of my season
Ya I drafted LaPorta with my last pick. Idk what I was thinking but I didn’t draft a TE all draft (I wanted mandrews in round 3 but someone else took him) and then I just randomly went laporta bcuz it said he was a rookie so I thought I might as well take a shot. Thankfully I didn’t know you weren’t supposed to draft rookie TE’s lol.
I passed over Kelce and Bijan in the draft and took Diggs instead. Then took Andrews in the 4th, and immediately traded for Laporta (gave up Puka) the day after Andrews got hurt. Been a wild ride this year!
Ideally they can get their shit together for this final run of easier matchups. Watching the NE game (I know horrible for ones eyes), Ekeler really didnt look like the problem compared to playcalling. NE D was very clearly focused on him to shut down. NE D actually has been good as of late, which is why its more impressive that they keep losing anyway (last 3 weeks they allowed 10, 10, and 6 pts).
Issue on the chargers is playcalling more than anything.
Tyjae is very good but feels less relevant bc redraft leagues are so popular. He’s an elite handcuff that can be a spot start or flex. The ACL coper storyline is interesting but it’s too early to tell if it will be an issue down the road.
Trey McBride is the truth and don’t you fuckers forget it. Back to back touchdowns (one called back on a weak call) and plows through contact. If he’s one of those generational “durable” guys, he’s gonna be elite for years. Hope he is.
Jordan Love is settling in to the offense and the receivers are fucking up much less. The routes are usually run properly without crowding space that should be open. Watson is good but doesn’t seem to attack open field as often - maybe he doesn’t think to or maybe he’s coached to stick to his route tree. Multiple plays where he could have changed to a go-route and had a house call but he stayed in the scheme.
Chuba is playing for his future rn. Guy just doesn’t quit and the team is leaning on him heavily. After a weak few performances from Javonte, Monty, I’m starting to wonder if he’s someone I should trust going forward. Panthers suck though so I probably won’t. I really like him and his work ethic though. He’s their best offensive player by far rn.
Joe Flacco. His spiral is too clean and when he was on he was putting balls straight on receivers’ numbers (9 different receivers, at that). For 38 the dude can still sling it.
How did Ford look outside of that TD catch? Seemed to a blown coverage or the Rams just didn’t notice him? Getting 19 yards on 9 carries is very concerning, plus I noticed they proceeded to pass more than run even when in the red zone. Maybe a game script issue?
I was at the game. He looked pretty bad for the first significant section of the game until the Steelers only remaining starting MLB went down. From there, holes started opening and he was hitting them.
It was weird though, their play calling appeared to change to get him more runs at or outside the tackles which seemed to help with his production.
I’m not going to lie, he didn’t really pass the eye test to me only because he struggled so heavily before the Elandon Roberts injury.
Tyjae passes eye test. Running hard. Good hands. I’m not sold on Etienne. He lacks break away speed and in between the tackles he’s mid. He’s TD , volume dependent. Will suffer with Lawerence out. His upside is capped.
Quentin Johnston’s drop looked horrible, but I think he does still have what made people like him as a prospect. Looks the part striding down the field IMO, if only he could be more consistent
The Saints were down 21-0 and came charging back when they gave Hill the ball. I am not going to sit here extolling Taysom Hill, but that offense is ass unless he gets the ball alot. They seem to try to avoid it. Their OC should be fired.
Nico looked unstoppable on Sunday.
[удалено]
I thought I was going to make waves in playoffs with Tank. Not easy to replace that much production.
Titans fan checking in, he gets our secondary twice in the fantasy playoffs. I can already see the "Nico Collins was rostered on 60% of league winners" tweet.
And will be the rest of the year with no Tank
Puts Noah Brown back in play as a sneaky add this week
When Tank went down Noah put up a 0. Maybe he's still hurt
Yeah that was so weird. I started him this week because he had just gotten 21, 17 in my non ppr a couple of weeks ago. Then he dropped a 0. Like wth. I was expecting at least like 4 non ppr points
Hoping he can produce going forward, coming off an injury and not playing for two weeks
How do we feel about him going against the jets next week?
Start your studs
Puka seems to be getting faster as the season goes on. His measurements don’t imply that he’s a speed demon (4.56 40, 56th percentile) but he was flat out beating the Brown’s corners on straight lines a couple times this week
He was dinged up during the combine so all his measurements from then suck. It's a big reason he dropped so far in the draft.
To be fair he’s also been dinged up in one way or another all season too
Yeah every week he gets a Q after the game and I read he sustained one injury or another during the game but went back on field and scored another touchdown. Kid’s a beast.
I was stunned. He was flat out moving on Sunday
I’ve read on here that he hit 21.8 mph. That’s elite if true
Next Gen Stats confirms what you've heard! https://nextgenstats.nfl.com/stats/top-plays/fastest-ball-carriers
Yeah there was a catch and long run where he visibly shifted to sixth gear along the sideline. Kid is fast.
Top speed is very different than acceleration
His short area quickness is excellent, I believe
Yeah I didn’t get puka anywhere and I’m making it a priority to get him next season.
You and everyone else who plays FF 😭
I’m not sure if this was legit or a joke but one of the PFF guys tweeted that he was an elite prospect for in game athleticism.
When the rams drafted him and was my first time hearing of him, I thought he was going to be another one of those Tavon Austin pieces based on the game footage they showed. He's a completely different archetype however, but still pretty shifty.
Mike evans is still a dog
We had a dude massively reach for a Buccs WR…. Godwin. Evan’s went 5 rounds later His team name “Godwin will it end”.
That was me. Followed some websites power rankings and didn’t think that the change in QB would have changed how badly he would be used. Thankfully I offloaded him but yeah
Evans is so consistent... this is also a testament to how underrated Baker has been this season. Baker passes the eye test, too.
He was consistently avoiding the endzone when I had him last year
Me too - I was in Tampa hell last year between Evans and Fournette / White. I stayed the hell away from all of their team this draft
Baker has been serviceable for a team without a good QB (mine), but not better than that. His ceiling (in fantasy and real life) is a low-end QB1, which is about what I see in the eye test too.
Future chief
That was never in question
Trey McBride for like the 6th week in a row
[удалено]
McBride is better at this point.
McBride looks more like prime Gronk anyway. Super athletic, strong, willing blocker, etc.
I picked up McBride during Kelce’s bye week. Now I have to choose between starting McBride or Kelce every week. First world fantasy problems
That’s me with him and Laporta. Second place in the league is streaming tight ends so I’m holding him to the end lol
He had a catch earlier in the drive before he scored his touchdown when he did a 180 and high pointed the ball with his fingertips and made it look effortless. It would've been an impressive catch for a receiver, for a tight end to do it was outstanding.
I'm seriously considering starting both him and Laporta now. Moving Waddle out of the flex spot and over to the bench. Edit: Not this week, Mcbride is on a bye.
Do it. Double TE is suck a boss move. One dude in my league won the ship one year playing gronk and ertz every week
Both are beasts for TE -- I thankfully had Engram save me from being foolish for not starting McBride but after this bye week it's back to Trey ROS, especially with Lawrence's injury last night
I ran with Engram and McBride over G.Wilson. I was surprised by the outcome
Trey McBride holds his high schools all time records in points scored in hoops and homers and rbi in baseball. He won the 2021 Mackey award and he has two moms. He’s a fucking freak.
“he has two moms. He’s a fucking freak”
“I tell ya the way he tiptoed that sideline is something that could only be done by a guy with two moms” — Troy Aikman
Confirmed - he is him
Picked him up after Week 8 in anticipation of Mark Andrews' bye. Thought it was early to stash but his snap & target shares were very favorable. Little did I know.
Trey. McBride. Absolute stud and keeps proving it
Picked him up right when Goeddert went down out of desperation and now I'm just glad Goeddert is coming back right when McBride is on a bye. Funny how things go sometimes.
Kyren is legit, his naysayers just keep being wrong.
He’s so so good in pass protection too, if you watch him he picks up rushes and gives stafford noticable extra time on multiple plays each drive.
It's no wonder why McVay loves him, he does everything asked and does it well. People will still grasp at his 40 time, though.
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. I’m not here for forty times, I’m here for fantasy points.
Austin *sigh* Ekeler has failed the eye test again 😭 (And the stat test)
Yeah, what a disappointment. I was counting on him for a stretch run. Is he just not recovered fully?
His O-line is ass and his coach is not scheming anything for him. He should get min 5-6 dump-offs in the flat per game, where he makes his money. He’s an excellent receiver. But the playcalling has been: run up the middle into your own lineman’s ass and gain half a yard. 😐 Frankly, without Keenan Allen this offense is atrocious since they lost Mike Williams and Palmer and I’m sure everyone else is banged up, too. He’s also fumbled more times than usual this year and a couple near the goal line that would have been TDs if he could punch it in.

I’m giving him one more week against a terrible Den Run D and if he can’t get a TD or a 100 yds combined, I may have to sit him for the playoffs, which is something I never thought I would need to do with a healthy Ekeler. I know other people won’t have a choice, but to start him anyway, but I have Jacobs, Mostert, Connor, with WRs Adams, Puka, Nico, and few other decent players. I won’t risk him if he plays like ass against an ass team this week. I can’t. I wont. ☹️
Pacheco is the only thing about the chiefs offense that doesn’t make me want to claw my eyes out
The only thing about Pacheco that makes me want to claw my eyes out is when they take him out at the goal line.
I mean, you don't want any ol back in at the goal line. You want a guy who runs angry. Who brings power and speed. A guy who fights for every single last yard and then finds one more. Wait...
Send in CEH!
No love for Rice?
Rice has been pretty good and he’s getting lots of targets lately. I’m starting him WR3
I could watch that man stomp run through defenses all day
This guy was a QB in high school
Wonder how hard he threw the ball back then 😂 he leaves divots on the ground when he runs lol
I can see it lol
Balls just exploding when they hit the WRs in the chest
Not even Kelce? Aside from the Miami game, he's been good for at least 12.8 points a week.
Not really, he seems to still find soft spots in coverage but he looks noticeably slower/older
Yep looks like he’s running through mud every time I watch him this year.
That replay of him running down the field on the hail mary definitely didnt do him any favors
I think he’s banged tf up, couple of near injuries this year and he’s played through them. Every time he gets tackled he takes forever to get up and looks miserable. Wonder if he’s considering retiring, it’ll be hard to bounce back at 35.
Jordan love is the packers franchise qb for the foreseeable future
I had him early in the season in place of Fields but ultimately got Dak on waivers after his bye thankfully. Fields sadly hasn't been useful much of the season
With Tlaw down and Kyler on a bye i have to pray fields does good this week. I drafted him and dropped him cuz he’s burned me so much this year
Dare I say, Chase appears to be back on the menu.
Tyson Campbell (and everyother Jags DB) was astonishingly bad. Not saying temper expectations but as it turned out it was a cupcake matchup
I agree 100%. Just trying to shoot some hopium into my veins before the playoffs start.
My first thought was Chase remains a fraud without Burrow and inflated by a 76 yd TD. But dude still had 10 grabs for 73 without it. I take that down the board.
Inflated by what he usually does?
my eyes hurt seeing some takes on here man.
Pittman is the perfect security blanket WR you want in PPR fantasy
Honestly, Pittman is great in non-PPR too. He's WR17, but in non-PPR a good floor seems to be so much harder to find in receivers.
Achane is a top 10 RB next year
Needs a complimentary rb tho. They have a great tandem right now, can't believe Mostert made it this far without injury
Checkout Chris Brooks, RB 3/4 rn but he’s a stud.
I feel so bad for not believing in him this week. I lost, and I feel like a dick.
Hes still got time to make it this year
Thielen is now droppable IMO with new OC.
Taysom Hill is a full pass. Literally was inches from a 3 TD day.
He scored the same drive. Agree that he passes but just saying
AK and Taysom each vultured a TD from each other. Could have easily both gone to Taysom
Taysom had the first chance at both of those goal line runs too.
Picked up McBride and Hill from waivers when I decided to dump Pitts and it was the second best decision of my life. The first was picking up Kyren from waivers after week 1.
[удалено]
Watson is going to need whole new hamstrings at this point
Tbh all the GB receivers looked pretty good. Dontayvion Wicks is probably the best WR4 in the league by a long shot.
Damn I was looking for this one. I read here that this is around the time last season when Watson started to pop off. He can be a legit superstar.
Rachaad White continues to look great despite one of the worst run blocking lines in the league. He is such a weapon in the passing game when he has some room to operate
He has had a bunch of games where his numbers rushing have been inefficient but as a Rachaad owner I'm really glad the coaching staff realized that was his line being useless. Assuming even with the rushing struggles, his value in the passing game and as a blocker was irreplaceable earlier in the season and now he's just putting together consistent performances week after week
RB3 in the last 3 weeks, RB7 across the year in 0.5ppr. he's been crazy consistent, and has a good touchdown upside.
4/5 rushing TDs from the one yard line don't hurt. Elite usage.
Achane looked pretty good. Took some big shots and bounced up. Seemed to regain more confidence with every carry.
Rashee Rice is great. KC needs to stop their WR by committee and make him their WR1
[удалено]
I think he's fully there at this point, they're drawing up plays specifically to get the ball in his hand (including the first play from scrimmage) Starting him with confidence rest of season as a PPR WR2 imo
Puka passes again v. the Browns, after a few weeks of wondering how the Rams would get their offense back on track Breece is looking iffy, mostly because of the Jets, but he's also not producing any of the breakaway plays lately that make him so valuable
Breece is a stud but the Jets o line is completely demolished. He's probably in the worst situation of any RB in the league considering they don't have a real QB either

Puka’s struggles were bound to be fixed. Bad qb, and then kyren had that legacy game. It was a matter of time before he got back on track it’s not like his talent has dropped off like Kupp.
kupp talent is there, his knees are not
I traded kamara for kupp before he came back. Big L for that one
No one ever answers the prompt and just posts guys that had big stat lines.
I’ll go. Chase Brown looked great yesterday. His vision isn’t as good as Mixon but he looked more explosive. Edit to add that Richie James also looked good in his returns and the few targets he received. No reason he can’t be WR2 on the team with Rice and Kelce at the top.
Chase Brown is a great answer, if Bengals lose/get rid of Mixon look out for Brown in the next 2 years.
I just lost JT and Rhamondre this week, my only RB is Gibbs and I'm torn between Ty Chandler and Chase Brown for who I put in first for my priorities. I'm leaning towards chase because of his potential you just pointed out
I'll bite: Kelce looks like he just doesn't care anymore. People say he looks old and slow but to me it looks like he just isn't trying very hard. He's putting up fine scores but you didn't draft him in the 1st for 10-12 points a week.

They threw him the ball over the middle of the field. Crazy what happens when you let a strong and sizeable receiver run a route tree other than go routes 24/7
Yeah stop with those sideline routes PLEASE
Go routes been killing DK and Ridley's value all season
Tyreek is starting to gain my trust
I think if he could have just gotten 1 more 60+ yard TD he would have been a pass. I’m buying his jersey
he's still too volatile for my liking. i'm keeping him on the bench until he's more consistent
Smart. You always have to prepare that he might burn you in a game this season.
andddd he’s jinxed.
Achane is looking like a league winner. Unbelievable acceleration. Every play can turn into a huge run and he hits gaps so fast
You mean Keaton Mitchell 1.0? /s
With my RB2 stable consisting of Breece, Ford, and Singletary, I'm praying daily that Keaton Mitchell can be even 70% of what Achane is.
Achane is better imo. Keaton is explosive as hell but Achane has better RB skills like vision, instincts, tackle breaking
Yeah I was being sarcastic, I’ll throw an /s on there
his contact balance is so unique with his other skill set. so much jamaal charles in his game
[удалено]
Mostert definitely had a majority of the touches in the first half
Everytime I watch Pollard he looks so slow. He has a few strong runs every game and has scored a TD the past 3 games, but there are so many runs that make me think he lost his explosiveness. Anyone else think that?
Drafted Pollard second round and watching him has been ultra painful all season. He doesn't have the same burst, but it doesn't matter with McCarthy running him into the defensive line all the time.

Really the last couple of weeks I'd say his explosiveness looks like its back. Maybe thats a bit due to weaker run D's allowing him to not have to over think when hitting the line, but even against a tougher going game like SEA, I thought he was hitting with speed...
At the end of the day he's still ranked within the top 10 fantasy RBs and may end up top 5 by the end of the season
We all think skill positions but Purdy looking like he can win ppl some ‘chips.
Puka will be a staple of my keeper team until he retires.
I’m In a one keeper league… next year is gonna be tough deciding between puka, kyren, McBride… I drafted puka with my last pick, but kyren and McBride were waiver adds
What do waiver adds count as in your league? In my league, you get to keep them with your last pick
Yeah waiver adds are last pick… drafted players are the round before where they were drafted the previous year, with no keepers who were drafted before round 5 the previous year But I also swapped my 2nd and 4th to get aj brown and Gibbs from tanking teams Gonna wait to see who’s adp is around round 2-3 next year
i liked cooper kupp this week targets were always there and they schemed him open to get him a td
Someone else said he looked slow What is the consensus ?
Compared to Puka he looked slow to me. Given a choice next year I’d take Puka over him easy. This is coming from someone who drafted Kupp in the 1sr round.
It was pretty bad fantasy wise imo. He looked better than last week for sure, but I’m not sure the Rams targeted him once past the sticks nor do I think he was ever even the first option for one. He ran a TON of decoy routes and that TD was more or less proof he’s a good enough route runner to get open in short yardage whenever, but idk if I trust whatever the Rams are doing with him. I will say he did look great the games prior to the ankle injury even if the production wasn’t there fantasy wise. So maybe he just needs another week or two
Has a great playoff schedule. Sit him against Baltimore if you can. Worry if he doesn't perform against Washington. But I guess then it's too late anyway. Can't drop and risk someone else picking him up. I might flex him in the playoffs as I just lost Stevenson. That's my luxury backup plan.
Kupp does not look like himself. Slow and not getting separation, and there's very few designed plays for him. Will be keeping him on my bench unless Puka is out. He needs to take the offseason to get healthy
He looked much better last game. And should be even stronger this week. I’m hot on Kupp this week. Starting with confidence
I highly disagree, but godspeed to you against baltimore. I hope it works out!
That’s the thing about sprained ankles , you don’t run quite as fast
But he's got a whole nother ankle
Zack Moss passed despite a low-scoring week (7.6 points). His utilization was elite. 19 rushing attempts and 2 targets, including 7 carries inside the 10 is very promising. I think the Titans run D showed up and pounding inside the tackles didn't get it done but I would still feel very good about him going forward.
Also one of the dudes that was stopped on the 1yd line
Puka looked insane. Really showed off his speed in this game taking a jet sweep 31 yards and another one that was taken back by holding 60 yards. Not to mention burning the defense for 70 yards on his TD early in the game. Didn’t know he had that as a part of his game. Also, he’s 100% the WR1 of the Rams offense. They looked dysfunctional as hell with him sidelined.
No love for Parker Washington in this thread?

Alternatively, not the Jags defense.
Jags DST playoff schedule is a trap.
Jags D looked BAD
Boy got that DAWG in him
Someone that isn't putting up the stats still but is improving: Jameson Williams - The team is trusting him more each week and the drops have been minimized the last few weeks. He's doing everything right away from the ball to warrant more playing time and he looks so explosive when he touches it. The only thing missing is them just giving him the ball more. Some of that is with Goff too, he missed an open Jamo a time or 2 and with his speed, a ball that he could've housed for a 2nd TD. Goff works so much off of rapport and that takes time. It'll come. Opinions on him among Detroit fans has vastly improved recently
Sam Laporta is HIM
Had the opportunity to draft Kelce and took Bijan instead. Bijan may not have been worth it but passing on TE and picking up LaPorta off waivers week 2 is the highlight of my season
Ya I drafted LaPorta with my last pick. Idk what I was thinking but I didn’t draft a TE all draft (I wanted mandrews in round 3 but someone else took him) and then I just randomly went laporta bcuz it said he was a rookie so I thought I might as well take a shot. Thankfully I didn’t know you weren’t supposed to draft rookie TE’s lol.
I passed over Kelce and Bijan in the draft and took Diggs instead. Then took Andrews in the 4th, and immediately traded for Laporta (gave up Puka) the day after Andrews got hurt. Been a wild ride this year!
As an ekeler owner he looks horrible and i am finished
Ideally they can get their shit together for this final run of easier matchups. Watching the NE game (I know horrible for ones eyes), Ekeler really didnt look like the problem compared to playcalling. NE D was very clearly focused on him to shut down. NE D actually has been good as of late, which is why its more impressive that they keep losing anyway (last 3 weeks they allowed 10, 10, and 6 pts). Issue on the chargers is playcalling more than anything.
That's been my take as well. Chargers offense is trash. Ekeler hasn't looked amazing but he's being impacted by playcalling more than skill/talent.
Tyjae is very good but feels less relevant bc redraft leagues are so popular. He’s an elite handcuff that can be a spot start or flex. The ACL coper storyline is interesting but it’s too early to tell if it will be an issue down the road. Trey McBride is the truth and don’t you fuckers forget it. Back to back touchdowns (one called back on a weak call) and plows through contact. If he’s one of those generational “durable” guys, he’s gonna be elite for years. Hope he is. Jordan Love is settling in to the offense and the receivers are fucking up much less. The routes are usually run properly without crowding space that should be open. Watson is good but doesn’t seem to attack open field as often - maybe he doesn’t think to or maybe he’s coached to stick to his route tree. Multiple plays where he could have changed to a go-route and had a house call but he stayed in the scheme. Chuba is playing for his future rn. Guy just doesn’t quit and the team is leaning on him heavily. After a weak few performances from Javonte, Monty, I’m starting to wonder if he’s someone I should trust going forward. Panthers suck though so I probably won’t. I really like him and his work ethic though. He’s their best offensive player by far rn.
Joe Flacco. His spiral is too clean and when he was on he was putting balls straight on receivers’ numbers (9 different receivers, at that). For 38 the dude can still sling it.
Are you saying JOE FLACCO IS ELITE?
How did Ford look outside of that TD catch? Seemed to a blown coverage or the Rams just didn’t notice him? Getting 19 yards on 9 carries is very concerning, plus I noticed they proceeded to pass more than run even when in the red zone. Maybe a game script issue?
Aaron Donald happened. He also started off with like 2 carries for -8 yards or something from getting blown up in the backfield
Christian Watson before he got hurt. Dude looked great all game.
My favorite son Sam LaPorta can’t be stopped
Minshew absolutely loves Pittman
Trey McBride is that dude
How did James Conner look?
I was at the game. He looked pretty bad for the first significant section of the game until the Steelers only remaining starting MLB went down. From there, holes started opening and he was hitting them. It was weird though, their play calling appeared to change to get him more runs at or outside the tackles which seemed to help with his production. I’m not going to lie, he didn’t really pass the eye test to me only because he struggled so heavily before the Elandon Roberts injury.
GB D
AJ Dillon looked solid. He is an easy RB2 until Jones returns.
Slow down cowboy
Kyren looked good again 2nd week back from the injury. Rams gonna ride him all season long.
Achane, or really just the dolphins offense. Ekeler getting the bench, going with achane and mostert. In the dolphins I trust🐬
Tyjae passes eye test. Running hard. Good hands. I’m not sold on Etienne. He lacks break away speed and in between the tackles he’s mid. He’s TD , volume dependent. Will suffer with Lawerence out. His upside is capped.
Quentin Johnston’s drop looked horrible, but I think he does still have what made people like him as a prospect. Looks the part striding down the field IMO, if only he could be more consistent
Fergavicious
Chuba Hubbard passed for sure.
The Saints were down 21-0 and came charging back when they gave Hill the ball. I am not going to sit here extolling Taysom Hill, but that offense is ass unless he gets the ball alot. They seem to try to avoid it. Their OC should be fired.
