I assume you have a philly WR or RB you want to get a TD from. sorry pal. the team plays to win games. they dont care about your fantasy team

fixed that for ya

honestly, this D gives a 3-5 point advantage on most weeks. why would you trade them unless getting a legit upgrade elsewhere. I have this D in one of my leagues and It would take a far higher value player than most are (or should be) willing to pay to get me to trade them. bottom line: because people generally are not williing to trade anything of value for a defense, the right move is not to trade them.

wow 61 yard FG to end the half.

iggles have some starters on D out of the lineup. they were talking about it a few minutes ago on the broadcast.

wow, vikings getting Gashed on the ground.

vikings looked pretty solid on that drive. they did some good things there in the pass game. Hock looks really good.

Yikes. maybe I better get up there and turn the TV on.

this doesnt fully make sense to me. if the plan is not to resign (or to get rid of the guy) I'd run the guy into the ground. I certainly wouldnt be looking to preserve his health so he can play well for someone else when hes gone.

I doubt the team would have been dumb enough to tell him this. most teams dangle the carrot and make promises if he produces. but even so, he should be treating this as an audition. Free agency is next year. best way to get a big contract is to put up some huge numbers.

cousins is pretty good. underrated QB and his teams Defense isnt good which means he cant play conservative. he needs to put up points. dont get me wrong I like Goff and Richardson too but I prefer Cousins.

your instincts are pretty good. you knew the answer all along. but if you needed a second pair of eyes to confirm it, there are now two of us who agree with you.

given what has happened with RB's this last offseason, the best way he can maximize his value is to have a huge season. pissing around like this and sitting injured when in fact you are not will only make teams question your character if the word got out on that. I, for one, wouldnt want someone like that on my team. I'd go in a different direction even if the player is less talented.

I dont think they have another game like they had against the Cowboys. Everything that could possibly go wrong there did. even when the cowboys fumbled, the ball went straight to another cowboy. field was tilted heavily. you cant count on this being the norm.

we are no longer talking about when to draft him. draft has happened already but I am trying to figure out how this situation affects his value (in trade or other)

well, this is certainly what worries me. Nerve type injuries are a lot different than normal ones. sometimes they resolve quickly and sometimes not

they are giving their young QB the tools to be successful. the O-line in Atlanta is very good. likely top 5 They have a top TE and a top young WR. The hope is that their young QB will develop into a player. it may be too early to pass judgement on this but the early returns are not great. We were talking like this about Jaylan hurts not too long ago and look what happened. the real issue with QB's is its not a straight line development curve. you jump forward, then slip back and jump forward again. Sometimes you need to be patient. all I know is that these good receivers (london, Pitts) are not fulfilling their potential because of deficiencies at QB right now. and until those deficiencies are resolved, these guys will continue to underperform. so either the QB needs to improve or he needs to be replaced. I suspect a decision wont be made until closer to the end of this year or possibly sometime next year. in the interim, you will need to be patient.

he just got dropped in one of my leagues. I do think Brown should be rostered but you probably dont wanna start him unless you actually dont have better options. once Kyler Murray returns he should put up solid stats. problem is you likely need to wait a few weeks to get to that point. its a judgement call. I'd keep an eye on the Kyler murray situation. if it is looking like hes gone beyond week 8 or 9 you may want to look at dropping Brown if hes not producing. I'd give it another week or so before doing that if possible. but if someone you really like is on the wire you may want to think about it.

Yikes. the offer is reasonably fair. Assuming Kupp misses only 4 games. but it is also possible he misses 5 or 6 but some reports I saw earlier suggested he could be out a while (whatever that means). if WR is a position of serious need, you may want to consider this, but in the end you are creating a weakness at QB in return for shoring up the WR position. its like robbing peter to pay paul. I have somewhat stopped paying attention to the drama that is the Kupp injury situation as I own zero shares in that mess. but I will say this.... if it looks like Kupp could miss more than 5 or 6 games, this deal may not be worth it even if Kupp returns and plays well (which is not by any means guaranteed) I would suggest you do whatever research you can to see if you can find any clue as to timelines for recovery. if you dont have a reasonable timeline, this is a very dangerous move to make. like I said.... if it looks like more than 5 or 6 games, you probably want no part of this.

its a reasonably fair deal to be honest. Aiyuk is worth more than Evans (in my opinion) Andrews is worth more than Kittle (in my opinion) its mostly a matter of preference and depending on the rest of the roster you may or may not want to do this trade.

Puca is a nice talent and probably a safer pickup. He is worth picking up for sure but so is K williams. RB is a harder position to fill and you have a need at the position, so I'd put in a priority wire pick for williams.

I wouldnt drop Cooks, but Toney is a guy I"ve started to sour on. seeing that many drops in one game has made me rethink whether this guy is a good fantasy investment. Normally I'd suggest waiting until after week 2 before dropping Toney but I think Nacua is the real deal and if you wanna get him you need to move now. Toney is the guy to drop. Cooks has more value than he does right now. He didnt put up numbers in week 1 but thats because the Dallas game was over by the time you were halfway into the second quarter of that game. so there was no need to throw the football. but from what I saw Cooks was getting open on most of his routes and for me this bodes well for the rest of the season. I think dropping him would be a mistake.

I think sports talk radio needs to wise up. The Patriots are a tough week 1 opponent with a good defense. the shortened pre season gives the advantage to the defense in week 1 and it showed. lots of games were defensive struggles in week 1 and I think the offense did just fine against these guys. More importantly, they got the win. thats what counts.

RB are next to impossible to acquire via trade during the regular season due to the relative scarcity of the position. as more players get injured through the course of the year, the asking price for a healthy RB will go up. you have some depth at RB but not good depth. Hunt will likely be relevant but likely not until the second half of the season. in the interim, you need someone. I dont mind moving lockett. you have good enough depth at WR. Waddle, Aiyuk are top notch. Kirk is solid depth. Nacua could be a home run but its too early to say for sure yet. I'd make the deal.

true. this is 100% correct. the problem isnt the player. the problem is the team, the offense, and the QB. (mostly the QB) when you have a QB who runs more than he throws, the pass catchers on the team have subpar numbers. that's just the way it is. That said, it will likely take some time until this team is able to reload with a new QB that will be able to help this situation improve. so Kyle Pitts is a long hold in a dynasty format, but wasnt an ideal selection in redraft for the reasons mentioned above.
