So does this mean Devontae Booker is safe again?

Wouldn't bank on it, they were edging him towards the door before they ever signed Booker. Keep an eye on Muhammed, if he can show a little more like preseason game one, and a little less like game 2..he's the one earmarked for that spot. But, if he doesn't? Booker likely safe for awhile

Was glancing at the Fantasy Pros DST rankings...

2019 DST Fantasy Football Rankings, DST Cheat Sheets, DST Draft / Draft Rankings | FantasyPros

...it shows the Raiders "low" ranking of 33.

33

Think about that.

Well, in D1 we're gonna chalk it up to a BAD day. .... in other leagues, well .....

Jimmy Garoppolo threw five interceptions in Wednesday's practice.
"He threw it to the wrong team five plays in a row," Shanahan noted,

Can't recall who said it, whether it was an ex-player or an ex-coach, but they basically said if QB do NOT throw interceptions in preseason, then they are not being challenged enough by their coaching staff. Adding, interceptions in preseason essentially mean nothing. Preseason is the most opportune time to push the limits.

So then why was his coach not happy?

Can't answer that. Maybe he's the type of coach that doesn't want to challenge his players?

Must have been a hell of a challenge .....

Saw an interesting idea on another forum for FAAB leagues. Having teams bid their FAAB budget on draft spots to determine the draft order. Might be a bit of work for the commish, but i was thinking each team puts a blind bid on every draft position(Bids can be 0) and ranks them in order of preference with ties getting another round of bidding from the teams involved until an order is determined.

Think it's a great idea. Give everyone a shot at the top 3 spots.

but what if everyone just puts all their chips on spot 1?
you'd just be in a cyclical pattern of everyone trying to get the top spot each round of bidding - has to be a way to differentiate bid amounts

I think it’s part of your yearly faab. So if you blow your wad in draft spot, then your screwed for in season

now that makes sense - very cool idea, I'd bake an extra 50-75 bucks in FAAB if I were the commish on that

2 leagues that I used to be commish/started - handed off the reigns to a couple other owners to let them run the show as I took on some additional dynasty leagues over the last 2 yrs

1 league currently has 6 ppl signed in, no clue where the others are.
The other league has 3 ppl in, I can't even accept the league invite to join it yet since I get an invalid link error from yahoo sports.

If it was easy being commish, everyone would do it.

I am commish in one league- my work league. I am so grateful to have all you other guys to commish the other leagues that I am in. Just in case I haven't mentioned it lately...THANK YOU SO SO MUCH!
