Wait, so you HAVE to pick one of Zona over Seattle and Philly over Cleveland even if you think neither will hit?

There are some tough picks this week.
I wouldn't pick Vegas over KC.
Miami on the road with Drew Lock ailing.
Chargers handle Joe Flacco.

[pdub]

Anyone speculatively pick up Taysom Hill because of his TE eligibility?
He keeps that and plays and that's 3 weeks of QB points at the TE spot.
Doubt he starts though - he's a hold for me.

[NewtonHawk11]

He sucks. I don't think he'll play QB for NO this Sunday. I think Winston gets the nod.

[pdub]

Went against Russell Wilson and Tyler Lockett in one league a few weeks ago. Going against Russell Wilson and DK Metcalf in the other league this week.

Of course.

[thebones]

Watching the game tonight and learned that an offensive holding call within one's own end zone results in a safety.

How did I not know this rule?

[Sparko]

They call it when it stings.

[pdub]

If you play in ESPN leagues, hope you got Taysom Hill.
And then next week, if they change his position, and you have him in the TE spot, what do you think logically will happen?
Did ESPN's coders plan for something like this - or will it be like an IR spot, where you just can't make any moves until you fix your lineup?

[NDballer13]

My biggest question is why is he a TE? I would understand if they threw in a 2nd position as maybe a RB or WR, but I cannot remember him ever lining up as a TE.

[pdub]

He's lined up as a tight end in the same way Kelce is lined up as a tight end.
Right off the o-line but being realistic, he's running a route.

[NewtonHawk11]

McKissic or Damien Harris.

Have McKissick because Mr Checkdown Alex Smith has targeted him 29 TIMES over last 2 games out of backfield.

Harris has 3 straight 100 yard games and going against a subpar Texans run D.

[TDub]

Sweet. Winston got demoted and deandre swift is hurt now. Great pick ups in the last two weeks Dub...

[pdub]

I’m going against Harris so he’s gonna have a huge day.
Play Harris, Newton.

Sammy out.
Was in my flex, dropped him for Michael Pittman Jr.
Throw to your rookie Phil.

[NewtonHawk11]

Yeah that’s what I’m doing.

[pdub]

Lost again ( unless Kelce and Woods combine for 33 in a non ppr ).

If i can’t win one of the next two I will miss the playoffs with Derrek Henry, Nick Chubb, Travis Kelce, Will Fuller, Kenny Golladay, Robert Woods and Ben Rothlisberger ( and 3rd in PF ).
In a 12 team league.

[TDub]

Daks leg killed my season. Not as much as his....but mine too.

[pdub]

Same.
I had Dax in both leagues.
He was averaging 33 a game.

[TDub]

Yep. Im in a 2 qb league with heavy emphasis on QB play. You can hold 3 qbs and must play 2. All the good and even decent qbs are snatched early. A qb injury is devastating in that league. I jave joe burrow and daniel (bust) Jones. So now i gotta scramble every week to find someone....this week it was somw dude named P. walker. I thought he drove his Porsche into a lightpole. But i guess hea playing football now or something...

So you’re sayin there’s a chance.
Need 14 from Woods.
80 and a TD.

Prob not v Tampa but one can hope.

[NewtonHawk11]

Man, he could get you a couple TDs on those jet sweeps he is really good at doing.

[pdub]

Against another team i'd like my odds.
I think Tampa is gonna swarm Goff and he won't have time to make throws.
The rest of my season will likely now become one long playoff.
