Much respect amigo. Almost always when someone has a strong take and it doesn't work out they slink away never to be heard from again. Everybody has misses. I respect anyone who acknowledges a mistake, learns, and moves forward. As someone who came into this thread (or maybe the Badie one?)...

It looked like he suffered a minor injury, possibly to his ankle. After his 2nd to last carry he motioned to the sideline to take him out and they replaced him with Jaleel. Javonte was out on the first play of the next series, he got a carry, and it sure looked like he took himself out again...

I agree with Chaka. If you read my post that you quoted I’m advising against anyone taking a victory lap, not taking one myself. My argument before the game was that 24 carries is too small of a sample to draw final conclusions or condemn a talented player forever. If you’re willing to bury...

The “Javonte is done!” take was/is bad. I’ve been advising a buy low on Javonte because the gloom and doom talk seemed so obviously premature. Most fantasy owners are too emotional and too impatient and you can take advantage of that. That said, I wouldn’t advise any major victory laps after...

I agree with the prevailing sentiment that this backfield is an uncertain mess for fantasy and that many future outcomes remain in play. I also agree that both Javonte and McLaughlin have mostly played poorly thus far. Where I don’t necessarily agree is on Javonte long term. Most seem very...

As disgusting as it feels to say this I’m actually looking at Javonte as a buy low target (mainly in dynasty). I’ve watched most of his 2024 touches and I have no excuses for the guy, he has played really badly. He’s fumbled, he’s fallen down and tacked himself, he’s misread his blocking etc...

Anthony Richardson is uniquely inexperienced but the consensus opinion that he’s raw is bad and misguided. Richardson’s poise and command in the pocket and ability to see and read the field show incredible maturity, rarely seen in young QBs and almost unheard of for a QB with so little on field...

We tend to evaluate coaches simplistically by the limited part of their job we get a window into, their game day decisions. But being a coach is really 25 jobs in one. It’s putting together the right staff and delegating flawlessly. It’s being authentic and an example and a leader of men which...

I’ve got some good news and some bad news for you, Mitchie. First the bad news: this Jacobs “news” that has you feeling so optimistic isn’t news. Unsubstantiated rumors from anonymous sources passed along by hack beat writers are worthless at best. These are the very same beat writers who...

I find it comical that PFF feels qualified to assign grades to the best football players in the world when they are one of the worst sports “analytics” organizations in existence. They position their numbers like hard stats when they are rife with subjectivity, unqualified people creating them...

It’s not “crazy” to sit Jacobs as this is a terrible spot for him and his scoring expectation is as low as it’s been all season. Beyond the problems of the 49ers D and Stidham the Raiders have questionable motivation this week with their playoff chances all but extinguished and a popular team...

There is an art to talent evaluation as well as a subjective component so I'm always open to exploring contrarian opinions. But in many decades of playing fantasy football this Kamara is "not that talented" take is one of the most divergent and head scratching I can remember. When you watch...

Very quiet here in the Josh Jacobs thread after week 1. I guess 73 yards and 0 TD is kind of a fantasy non-event. Not enough points to help fantasy teams out much but not enough of a disaster to make anyone hate post. Long term I see week 1 as more positive for Jacobs than negative. Certainly...

Agree with some of the later posts here, the hate on Jacobs has gone so far! I saw Duane McFarland tweet a vid an awkward old dude dancing with the caption “If drafting Josh Jacobs was a dance.” This feels odd to me. The last few times we saw Jacobs in meaningful action he was leading the...

Not trying to make this a political issue: I believe getting vaccinated is the best decision a person can make given all the current data but I also believe it’s a personal decision. But might Rogers have had COVID before? Perhaps he side stepped the reporter’s question implying he believed he...
