Sleeper Isaih Pacheco!

I put him on the table in D2 leading up to our draft, ZERO nibbles let alone bites

Speaking for myself, it wasn’t for a lack of want.

Did I ever mention Mecole Hardman is my WR1?

Wait. Darryl Wiliams from the OL?

Yep, the UDFA center...not exactly a boon to any RB, whether he was gonna play on the line or not

Is this like when Kelvin Benjamin tried to switch ?

For Funchess's sake, I hope not.

I dunno if he's got anything of what it takes to play the TE position, but unlike his former teamate, he has never been a Macy's Thansgiving Day parade balloon either, and was definitely a better WR. Good luck to him.

Was it Benjamin that loved the Chinese food or was that Eddie Lacy? lol

I kinda think Anderson is next in line for the latest psychotic WR role, but that's just me.

There have been some rumblings about an Anderson for Baker deal but it’s awful. Anderson’t contract is shitty and rhe Browns likely still have to cover most of Baker’s salary. Not to mention, Anderson is a nutjob yikesss

The Washington Post's Mark Maske reports the NFL "will argue that Cleveland Browns quarterback Deshaun Watson should receive a 'significant' suspension for violating the league’s personal conduct policy."​

Maske added that a person on Watson’s side of the case said the league will "probably" seek a full-season suspension. A source of Maske's from the NFL side of this issue cautioned him on guessing the exact length of a suspension. The count of women filing suits against Watson is now at 24 with another pair of suits potentially on the way. The increasing number is adding further stress on the league to take serious action against the quarterback. Maske also noted that the league wants to have the disciplinary process and resulting appeals completed by the start of training camp. For the Browns, that date is July 27th.

The Fantasy Doctors' Jesse Morse believes Seahawks RB Chris Carson (neck) likely underwent multi-level ACDF surgery.
This would be worse than single level surgery, as two-level ACDF is harder to come back from. Ex-Giants RB David Wilson retired at age-23 after the surgery, while former Colts RB Ahmad Bradshaw returned in nine months

yes, at age 29, Bradshaw did return in nine months, where he then played in 6 games, gained 31 yards and promptly retired.

What exactly was the hope in putting those two little factoids together? Sure Bradshaw did play again, not exactly noteworthy though, and he probably shouldn't have

These edge dudes just make my blood boil-

The Athletic's Aaron Reiss believes the Texans will "lean on" Marlon Mack early in the season.​

Mack, 26, rushed for 1,091 yards and scored eight touchdowns in 2019, his last season as a starter for Indianapolis. He was phased out of the Colts' backfield in 2021 as Jonathan Taylor and Hyheim Hines took over


That's not at all what happened. They completely glossed over the ruptured achilies in week 1 of 2020, which cost him all of that year and most of '21. And he wasn't 'phased out', he simply was a sloth upon his return and couldnt force his way back onto the field, leading to 'healthy' scratches most of the year.

Why anyone would consider him to be the 'assumed starter' is well beyond me. I assume the rookie or Burkhead.

To be fair they don't actual write anything themselves, they just post opinions or thoughts others put out on the internet. This Mack article is quoting Aaron Reiss ( who ever the heck he is) from the Athletic's which is a subscription site that needs to attract customers and giving hot takes garners attention.

don't forget we're in the dead period for NFL news too, so they really try to grasp at anything that will get some clicks. Once I started seeing too many inconsistencies with the Edge writers putting their own spin on stories, I stopped going to that site altogether and use twitter for "breaking news". They'd bash a player one week in-season as a bad waiver add, find out they were wrong, then try to back peddle and make it seem like they weren't bashing the player previously....the kind of shit you'd expect from ESPN/Yahoo/SeeBS/NBC/etc - fantasy for the masses, with advice from the asses.

They author the little blurb/analysis, after the quote. The athletic 'reporter' is an idiot to begin with, but they take it a step further in thier little addition to it. And it's within that section where it bugs me as to them rewriting history

I'd use Twitter, but ever since the announced sale to Elon, I get inundated with "I'm a 40yr old milf, am I still hot enough for you?" fishing posts.
Never got a single one before that day, and ever since then anywhere from 5 to 12 a day. I uninstalled it and deleted the app.

I've never had that problem with twitter, but I don't tweet and only reply to a tweet once in a blue moon. Heck of a lot of fake accounts that fool you into believing bogus news, but Twitter definitely is first on breaking news if you can filter out the BS.

Doesn't it use technology that caters your ads to your search history?

I still use Pandora to listen to music, where you have to curate your song preferences with the thumbs up/thumbs down. Twitter is the same, only that mute/block button has to be active or you get overwhelmed with the ads and fake accounts.

About once per week I'll go through and block all the 'sponsored' shit that pops up on my feed - not perfect, but it helps
