    Definitely worse than Kaep:
    Goff
    Lock
    Whoever the fuck is QB in LAC
    Trubisky
    Mayfield
    Allen
    Darnold
    Jones
    Haskins
    Rivers
    Whoever the fuck is QB in Carolina

    Maybe worse
    Carr
    Ryan
    Cousins

    Yeah checks out

    People are mad because Kap is rated 81 and Blaine Gabbert (who replaced him in SF) is only 62. People should be more mad it's another mediocre Madden game.

    What do you mean the NFL-knowers are usually wrong about black and/or smart QBs

    Captain InertiaCaptain Inertia Registered User regular
    62 is about 51 points too high for Yo Gabbert Gabbert anyway

    This just in the most important and popular fantasy league of all time, the Procrastination Station, will not be renewed at the very last second as originally predicted.

    Basically if the NFL isn’t gonna take measures to even pretend to protect it’s players than why the fuck should I care about fantasy.

    I do not want to engage in the mental math of factoring in Covid in my draft strategies. Just the thought of doing so makes me want to vomit.

    Maybe next year it’ll be back who knows, but for right now the NFL and it’s Fantasy Machine can go fuck itself.

    Honestly at this point I'm convinced the owners are expecting the season to get canned and are all signing off on HUGE deals expecting some kind of bail out or forced restructuring that they can use to lower the contract values without having to shorten any of them, and maybe even lengthening some of them in the process

    I don't think it's going to be bad because it's a Thursday; it's not like they just played on Sunday (it'll be bad because of the other thing)

    I'm curious how much prep time they've actually had because I've read zero news about the NFL restart process

    The part in Why Your Team Sucks about looking for the next Mark Bavaro is so true that it hurts

    I see SO MANY Giants fans basically fellating Mark Bavaro and talking about how he’d be the best player in football now because of just how tough and hard nosed he is.

    Fuller has speed, but he can't jump or run crisp routes like DeAndre, so even having a green as grass rookie like Sneed at CB he can't get open enough for Warson to thread it in.

    I have Watkins on my bench.

    Not even a full game into the season and I'm making mistakes in fantasy.

    Nice first game for Edwards-Helaire. He is shifty as hell.

    Low center of gravity, can just float in those slight gaps in the zone blocking, I like what I saw. Him being undwr 210lbs and my height makes me wonder how his body can handle the grind for a full season, but if Darrel Williams can spell him and both can do some decent pass blocking on 3rd and longs, the Chiefs could be pant-shittingly dominant.

    The Chiefs already were shit-in-pants inducing

    Not really worried about him wearing down.

    In two games people will be yelling at Andy to run the ball more like always.

    Why in the name of fuck would people be yelling at Andy Reid’s offense

    With or without Mahomes, but especially with Mahomes, Kelce, Hill, Watkins, the random dudes they plug in at RB who become extra all-world receivers, etc

    I thought the thing to yell at Andy about was clock management

    Yeah, clock management is a thing.

    Run the ball more is a thing too.

    Chiefs WRs that aren’t Hill are always a dart throw in fantasy, it seems. Hill, CEH, and Kelce are the only safe options imo


    Also week 1 in fantasy is the week that 100% always feels like a dice roll to me. Even more so without the pre season

    Yeah. Outside of injuries I don't touch my roster the first three weeks til I really have a grasp on how people are playing.
