Fantasy Football News and Rumors

I know everyone wants to see it now, but Darnold flashes some big time potential and he's one of the youngest QBs in the NFL right now and is the youngest starter (or possibly 2nd youngest? Lamar Jax and him are both 22)

now if he still hasn't progressed much in the next 2 seasons, i'm ready to call him a bust.
the difference between college defenses and pro defenses is pretty immense, I'm still a big proponent of rookie QBs sitting for 1 year, provided the vet in front of them is still capable

He is shellshocked right now. I dont think he is getting valuable snaps right now. They need to focus on protecting him

Ya'all forgetting one important thing. He's a Jet.

Looks like should be a one or 2 loss team, but, I know the scheduling gods don't give a damn about having the best team, just who went friggin nuts that particular week, so I'm gonna guess 3-5

That's the way it goes. I can't tell you how many times I've had the top scoring team on the year and missed the playoffs. But I wouldn't trade it, I'm sure theres more than a few times I got in the money with a team that benefited from the schedule too

I agree. However, this last 3 year stretch in my main money league has been fucking brutal.

this^^

anytime I'm getting pissed about scoring a ton of pts and not having the record to show for it, i remember my back-to-back work league championships

Cutler/McCown then Kirk Cousins, leading my teams to victory, right off the waiver heap.
I did have good RBs both years though, but a bunch of 2nd fiddle/no names at WR in a PPR league.

the coworkers changed to an auction draft after my reign of terror, and I sucked the last couple years before that league disbanded this season (too many people left the company or dept we met each other in)

 

[Sam Sportboy]

Yup. Some of my best FF memories were teams I built off the wire. The Billy Volek/Bennett (I think was his name)/Droughns team was a lot of fun. But 3 straight years of this is wearing me down...………...lol. My chances of making the playoffs are pretty slim-2 down with 6 to play. At least I get to play him once more though

Patriots waived WR Josh Gordon.
Gordon is being cut loose from injured reserve, presumably with a settlement. Since it's after the trade deadline, the 28-year-old is subject to waivers. The Dolphins, Bengals and Redskins have the top three claims. In theory, interest will be robust. In practice, Gordon keeps resurfacing to high expectations then failing to deliver. He will undoubtedly get claimed, but it is probably long past time for the fantasy community to recalibrate its Gordon expectations. Provided there is one, we should know Gordon's new home by Friday.

Seacgickens claim Josh Gordon.

@HaroldSeattle - r u stoked? Indifferent? Pissed?

Indifferent. Can't hurt is the best I can muster for that move.

 

[Chef99]

That's actually a wow. I have no idea where he's gonna fit in, but Pete Carroll is BB (aka: The Genius) #2.

eahawks claimed WR Josh Gordon off waivers from the Patriots.
Coach Pete Carroll said, "He’s a unique talent. Next week we’ll take a look and see what he looks like." Gordon is apparently healthy after being released from the injured reserve list by the Patriots, although he won't suit up Sunday against the Buccaneers. Tyler Lockett is safe in the slot, while electric rookie D.K. Metcalf figures to continue to see a majority of reps in 2-WR sets. Gordon's presence will most likely relegate David Moore and Jaron Brown to the bench. Flash is far from washed; he demonstrated some elite contested-catch ability and made plenty of solid plays after the catch in six games with the Patriots this season. Still, the Seahawks' run-first offense will struggle to enable more than one or two consistent fantasy WRs more weeks than not.

Not a great landing for Gordon. At least, not for fantasy purposes.

Adam Thielen (questionable, hamstring) is a game-time decision for Week 9 against the Chiefs.
The Vikings want to work out Thielen pre-game before they make a decision on his status. Thielen had a sleeve on his leg during his limited practice week and isn't a lock to return. He's been pushing to play, but the Vikings may not want to risk a setback. Thielen won't be 100 percent if he suits up

i would say you are right when counting on a constant floor

but in time who knows maybe the hit and miss becomes more hit than miss when R Wilson is scrambling and instead of Lockett flying open it could be Gordon as well

however it sure is a very wait and see....

hey ya can always trade him to Sam..
