I've been hoping to do something. No progress yet, but should have some time eventually.

Yes, impressive waste of energy for a situation that seems very concrete. I thought Tucker had a chance to earn a role last season, but Irving came in and looked fantastic. White is a great pass catcher. The situation could not be simpler. Irving is the top back, White will get some part-time...

He was having a nice season when the accident happened. The (horrible) contract that Jacksonville is paying Gabe Davis shows the type of value the NFL puts on lid lifters. Gabe also shows that it's not as simple as just throwing a fast guy out there and getting results. Ruggs was blossoming into...

None of that changes it from manslaughter to murder. He acted in an extremely reckless manner. There was no intent to kill. Pretty significant distinction there.

What he did was woefully irresponsible, but not overtly malicious like Carruth or OJ. I don't see a parallel. Is a few years in prison enough punishment for taking a life? We could debate that, but it's immaterial at this point. I would expect to see him get another opportunity. However, he...

Nope. The NFL puts no real emphasis on player health, so it falls upon the teams and players to protect themselves when the rare opportunity arises. The smart thing is to rest him and prepare for a playoff run. Beyond that, the record doesn't mean much in the early years of a 17 game era, which...

I knew it! All it took was a 6 year wait, every other back on LV getting hurt, and a hopeless opponent in week 17 to make Ameer relevant again. Truly one of the strangest RB careers I can remember though. 10 years in the NFL while barely playing outside ST after Detroit. The embodiment of...

Is it too early to look back on this stuff now that the season is almost over? I like my analysis of Nabers and Harrison. MHJ can still have a fine career, but his highlight reel was less spectacular than his reputation. In terms of regrets, I was too lukewarm on Brian Thomas. I saw him as an...

I definitely did, so maybe that's meant as some sort of "gotcha" towards me. I don't regularly re-read 46 page threads to feel good about winning 4 year old debates, so I had forgotten the gory details, but I knew I was a big CEH cheerleader when he came into the league. Really loved the tape at...

Solid losing week for me. Rolled with Tua/Waddle and Tua/Reek for my two biggest entry fees. That put me in a bad spot right away. Went with CAR DEF on most of my entries. Very modest yield against Dallas in what I thought would be a more favorable game. Had Amari Cooper in a few lineups...

Rolling with him in my RB2 spot because my other guys are injured or also stuck in bad matchups. I don't like the matchup this week, but 3 or 4 catches for 15-20 yards is halfway to double figures already in PPR. He's likely to get at least 30-40 rushing yards, with some probability of a TD...

It was fun while it lasted. I'm getting JuJu vibes. Big body WR who lost a step and was never the same. I don't know how Anquan Boldin did it for so long. He was special.

There was a very similar thread the other day and I advocated going back to the well for some of the rookies who haven't had a great chance to pop yet. Jermaine Burton and MarShawn Lloyd are too high profile to be on waivers, but I'd be looking into trade offers, especially for Lloyd. He can be...

I don't know if I'd go that far quite yet, but as a K9 redraft owner with a playoff game next week, I'm definitely thinking of benching him even if he's back. It doesn't help that Walker has been struggling a bit the last few weeks independent of today's big Charbs game.

I was lucky to get a bunch of pieces of Allen, Charbs, Guerendo, Shakir, Thielen, Addison, Kittle, and Raider D. Got a lucky OT miracle from Jonnu Smith to salvage some donuts. Profitable week, but negligible $$$ amounts. Haven't reloaded my account since blowing most of it up a few weeks...
