Random FF Thoughts

Dallas sports radio is pretty much unlistenable right now.

Endless analysis about Dak's walking boot.

Either just shoot me or start the season right now, please.

It's Lance time!

At this point, all of the WR1 are gone. Unless someone wants to guess on the Buffalo, Chargers or New England's WR room?

If those 3 options are the best possibilities, give me Ladd, then the Buffalo kid, then Demario Douglas. Douglas will be the volume receiver, no idea if that's worth anything, but better than not the volume guy

The last time Josh Allen did not have Stefon Diggs, he averged less than 200 yards a game (191.2).
With Diggs he almost 100 yards more per game.

They got troubles, I think. Kincaid their best receiver. Maybe Cook their 2nd best?

Chase Claypool gonna rise out of obscurity to save the day?

WTF, ya'll takin' vacations?

Just to continue my bromance for Cousins.
Only because i still need a QB and only Watson, Mayfield (who did finish 10th), Stafford (who finished 15th missing 2 games), Levis and Rodgers are left besides Cousins.

Looked into Cousins fantasy stats.
Since 2015 (so 10 seasons from WSH to MIN), he has finished in the top 12 among QB in 8 of 10 seasons. One of the 2 he didnt, he finished 13th.

The other was last season when he only played 8 games and finished 24th. And thats quite a story in itself. Cousins was on pace to finish 5th. And after not playing for more than half the season... of 32 NFL teams, he finished 24th.

I like cousins a lot... but guillotine week one, cousins scares me... a lot... not only is he coming off of a season ending major injury, but he is also on a new team... right now we don't know how much of camp he will be at...

in a seasonal draft I would have no problem with him as my QB1... but id probably go elsewhere in this... id probably wait until the end and take Levis or Watson...

That is my concern.
But anytime i ry to get news feeds on his status, or a timetable, there is a picture of Cousins in his Falcons helmet and it looks like he is participating in camps.
Seems like its all a go.

And if things do fall apart, i can most likely say no one else is changing their QB by week 1 unless there's a camp injury.

Stafford and the Rams week 1 is the porous Lions D.

Of course. But there will also be one team eliminated. So you can pick there qb if needed. Either way. At this time I would definitely wait until the last round to get a qb.

Id take Cousins over all those options

We are midway thru round 9 (of 10) so DST and K are going. I have 1 pick left and i am the only team without a QB.

Also looked at how rookie QB did in their first start since someone drafted Williams and Daniels. Week 1 was not that great, not even for Stroud. Think Richardson had the only TD of the 3 inlcuding Young. Couple hundred yards passing. Limited rushing. Picks and fumbles i think for all 3 of them.

I must say, given the format, I'm shocked Cousins is still around, I dunno the other 17 names, but I know I'd have take him well before the 18th QB (well I think my memory is correct that this is 18 teams?)

Yeah, rookie QB's, never a great fantasy bet. Sure you could catch lighting in a bottle, and of course the possibility exists that Caleab Williams outscores Mahommes week 1, or any other given week, but it's a horrible bet to make

After a dedicated post titled "Opposite George and Why Aaron Rodgers will Ground the Jets" I would hope he is not even a consideration. ..

I may be counting wrong... but there is already 17 QBs taken... so you are taking the last QB no matter what... is the 10th round the last round??

Crazy... he should've gone somewhere in that Dak/Kyler area. No rain to take rookies over him

I'm amazed y'all are dismissing Stafford.

Age aside, dude is playing for a new contract and has a lethal offense.

Atlanta management is still trying to figure out what to do with their offense.

Not to mention what they've done hurting Cousins with Penix.

8th pick in the first round, guys.

I am not against Stafford at all. Especially with Evans & Godwin.

My gut reaction to Penix is that its being blown way out of proportion. Atlanta doesnt give Cousins $100 mill to watch Penix.

Yes, Penix was 8th overall. But is QB value based on NFL readiness or draft propaganda? Teams know they need to pull the trigger early or they miss out.

I love you Joe!

Back to my original point, all those weapons on the Rams with an elite (possibly short term) QB who has an agenda. Just sayin'.
