That thing you told me about the lions, its the steelers too.

These last 5-6 games have been absolutely brutal for their run D, ever since that Detroit game or maybe one before it

Announcers mentioned it at least once, just such a night-to-day transformation between the team vs BAL a few days ago and the team we saw last night. Same could be said of Vikes D for 3 qtrs

Think this is closer to the true steelers than the bmore game.

as an outsider looking in, my initial reaction will always be to move on from an aging QB, even if that means they see success elsewhere (Brady), as opposed to waiting too long and getting stuck with poor production for top dollar in the late stages of a multi-year deal.

but that's super easy and simplified way to look at it. I feel like a lot of people, their fans included, thought that last season's crash and burn meant to turn the page vs doubling down, regardless if Ben was willing to restructure his deal. It is nice that Rooney let him finish his career as a forever Steeler, SB respect was earned and given, they should've done a better job of pushing Ben out the door last year, imo. Which again, coming from hindsight, is easy to say now.

as someone who has had steelers on their fantasy teams for almost as long as I've been playing fantasy, fingers crossed Rodgers goes there chasing a ring. couple of good young WRs, what looks like a star in the making at TE, and a good young RB seems like something Rodgers would be interested in, unless Denver wins the big prize in FA

Dan Campbell doesn't think Swift plays in Denver, I like Jamaal to give you high end RB2 numbers this week with a good shot at cracking the top 12 (would've said top 10 before Dalvin and Najee put up big pts)

@Bandit - that was a quick pull in your dyno league, was trying to make the move myself but did it in Old School first, lol

Well I didn't need him in Old School nearly as much as in my league if Gordon, Mitchell, and Keenan Allen are all out.

Jamaal Williams on the Covid list and out this week. I picked up Igwebuike since he has been catching the passes out of the backfield.

in a bit of a bind in that one myself compared to Old School

Man thats hard. Last week he had two touched and Jefferson had what 5?

Yeah. I hope i end up with better options. May depend on Deebo.

I was hoping to pick the right choice myself…

I'm desperate enough to take a stab on a couple teams, lol

yeah its a double edged sword, im ok with how it went down with ben. Plus this is the offseason the cap goes way up. PLUS we lose bens contract. Frees up alot of money for someone. Rodgers rumors keep swirling. But I cant see our owners giving up multiple firsts to get him. I would take him over russ tbh

 

[SmokingMonkey]

well do share........

The most desperate situation for me, half ppr dyno, currently rolling with the Jets practice squad guy over Pollard for my RB2 with Zeke at RB1, Miles Sanders on bye, and Jamaal Will on covid IR. (D Johnson = D'Ernest)

Still debating Odell vs Treadwell for Flex2 spot and Moreau vs Pitts for TE as we head into the weekend, not sure which way I'll go on either of those decisions as of now
