I totally agree with that but I have to ask.............what the fuck was he doing on the field on the last drive when the Tuckster hit the GW FG? IIRC he was blocking and not running routes.............

I got nothing???

 

[Sam Sportboy]

I got nothing???

Me too.............this is a pretty weird situation IMO.............I only have the Chicken Man in 1 league, but I'm holding fer now.

I believe Jaylon was rated 80th out of 81 LB’s lol

this sounds more accurate

 

[Trudem]

this sounds more accurate

Overall he was #13 but he was #3 in pass coverage, which is why I like the fit. Run defense, he left alot out there for sure. I think we split his time at both ILB and OLB.

DeVondre still gonna rock that 100% snap rate, right?
Don't feel like Jaylon Smith should have much impact at all on Campbell's role, unless he takes over pass rushing situations

Packers signed LB Jaylon Smith, formerly of the Cowboys.​

26-year-old Smith was officially released by the Cowboys Wednesday, and the signing won't be official until Thursday. But Green Bay is where Smith wanted to be after getting his walking papers from Dallas. The former No. 34 overall pick of the Cowboys simply wasn't making plays in Dallas and fell out of favor with Micah Parsons, Leighton Vander Esch, and Keanu Neal soaking up the snaps. Smith was at Notre Dame with Packers coach Matt LaFleur when he was the Fighting Irish's QBs coach in 2014.

I believe Smith will either rotate with Krys Barnes or take his spot. Two ILBs on the field together.

@Trudem Jaylon is an exciting player, and he's got a lot of ability. You'll like him in man to man type stuff, he can hang with any RB or TE in the league. And if he can manage a free run at the QB, he's gonna get him, he ain't getting away.

His issues are entirely mental, he's near worthless in zone coverage, other than he'll most likely tackle his dude after he catches it, and he's no good and gap control in the run game.

So there are ways to utilize him and have very happy Packer fans, but if he's an every down dude, he's gonna frustrate you.

this is why I wouldnt trust the PFF. Even when he had a good season. His weakness was against the pass. Dont get me wrong. I wish him the best. but he is horrible against the pass. My guess. you can put him in a position to rush the passer mainly & limit his risk for screwing up.
Other than that.

Chris Carson (neck) is inactive for Week 5 against the Rams.​

 

[eaglesnut]

Ridley is out this week.

This dude has fucking sucked this year.

 

[SteelersPride]

This dude has fucking sucked this year.

Yeah. Being the #22 ppr wr while largely underperforming is clearly “$$(($ sucking”

#22 is certainly not awfukl Underperforming? Yeah.

He is a 1000% improvement over this guy

I would imagine he was inferring that relative to his draft position, he has underwhelmed. But far be it from me to defend that dude

Its on the fantasy GM for drafting him too early

ouch

ESPN's Jeremy Fowler reports the Seahawks are bracing for Russell Wilson (finger) to miss "at least a month and possibly 6-8 weeks."​

Wilson's MRI revealed a torn tendon in his middle-finger that required surgery. It's a worst case scenario for the Seahawks, as there was hope Wilson was only dealing with a strain. Wilson looks out for Week 6, and barring an unexpected recovery, could be sidelined the next month. It's possible Wilson only misses three games and returns after Seattle's Week 9 bye. The Seahawks will turn to Geno Smith in Wilson's absence, who threw for 130 yards and a touchdown in relief of Wilson in Thursday's loss to the Rams

I have Wilson in 9 leagues, along with various other Seahawk players like Metcalf, Lockett and Carson. So this is going to sink my fantasy football season as even the leagues where I don't have Wilson I have some of those other Seahawk players that will be likely producing at a much lower rate. Guess I shouldn't complain because Russell has been fortunate to stay healthy and playing most of his career.
