Random FF Thoughts

Cooks hasnt been good. But i was leaning him. Pierce just scares me with the qb change, but may work in his benefit

Just keep an eye on Cooks with all the shenanigans around the trade deadline.
If he plays, he’s the probably the right call…even on a Thursday, even with a likely date with Slay.

yeah redraft. Hes had 5 consecutive crap weeks. My starters are strong as can be, bench is useable. But with byes, its either play him this week or grab someone like caleb huntley, brandon cooks, terrence marshall, alec pierce,

If your starters are strong I'd take a higher floor over a boom-or-bust type. So Huntley, who has a bunch of nice matchups coming up and is getting a decent share of carries.

But CPAT just returned to practice, and Dam. Williams will soon too

Devil is in the details on those numbers though. Key in on that yards per attempt, and who is getting those receptions. Approximately %50 of the completions are going to RB's and TE's, leaving Pittman, Peirce and Campbell to split the remaining %50 and those aren't being pushed downfield either. Pittman's long on the year is 28 yards, he should be getting at least that or more once a game, not once thus far in 8 games (7 for him I guess).
Plus they've played two overtime games which gives them roughly 2 more quarters worth of plays than some teams, and have been trailing often, so a lot of that yardage was garbage dump offs vs prevents.

You look at aDOT numbers, and you've got to go way down the list before you find one of the starting Colts receivers.


Which, big picture wise..if you can press the safeties downfield, and force the LB's to at least think about maybe needing to drift back into coverage rather than stay right around that 10 yard depth, they'll be less likely to be crashing the box and stuffing your run game, which floats all boats. That's a pretty quick, simple, black and white reason as to why they canned the OC

Sounds similar to the Steelers' offense. But I think the Colts were at least less predictable.

true. I hope Pickett starts picking things up soon. He's had a tough row to hoe to start out, schedule wise, but I have faith he'll start balancing some things out and getting the gears moving soon.

I like to use the unofficial JP Losman scale when evaluating QBs. It is calculated on the panic during dropback.
It’s not high tech, but Pickett is nowhere near the danger zone. I see no panic, just rookie bad decisions.

I feel the same, but also, guys in their 30s/40s/50s that are super into fantasy football probably hasn't ever been their target audience

Well my 19-27 year old gaggle of kiddos sure don't watch it either, for whatever that's worth

Defensive linemen grab him all the time.

I think he'll have a hard time beating out Deon Jackson for the backup role, and judging by Jackson's targets/production while Taylor & Hines were hurt, Moss won't be backfilling the Hines role any time soon either, so I'd say no

Cook is not expected to play tonight.

I'd say no, not unless you just absolutely have to have a RB over a WR to create a legal lineup or get zero (zero total score) for the week. I'd rather have a zero in the lineup than drop one of those dudes for Z. Moss, so long as the league rules allow me to do so without zero-ing out the entire score

Big dilemma, my first two RB's draft Taylor and Denver's Williams. Pollard on a bye. 12 team lead with 15 roster spots. Taylor may not play, best on the WW are Perine and Travis Homer. Mixon is healthy and hardly leaves the field. Walker is a stud for Seattle but needs a blow every now and then. Which has the better chance to get me 10 points
