Classic shark mindset
I hardly believe I qualify as a shark.
I am, however, a person who did lose 65 lbs in 8 months 4 years ago and have kept it off. 2 simple rules:
1) Control your carb intake (easier said than done and usually requires retraining one's self)
2) excersize regularly - even light to moderate excersize 4/5 times a week makes a huge difference.
That's it. I can tell you that potatoes are not the pathway to sustained success. Either way, I'm pulling for you. Good luck.

Time to get Dorsett. Heck, I may just cut to the chase in the draft I'm currently in the middle of and trade Moncrief outright for a 12th rounder and pick Dorsett.

Post-draft supplement #1
Now that Kevin in our mailroom had his final dynasty league rookie draft last night, we're able to roll out some of our most top secret hawk content. And with that, Coach is now in a position to share with you one of his favorite value plays of all, both for this season and beyond.
Tajae Sharpe, WR
I'm going to start by providing, as a public service to all of the sharks the following link: https://smile.amazon.com/dp/B018UOQEUM/
It's a surge protector, highly rated, with all of the features you're going to need to care for your home electronics equipment, including that sweet Pentium laptop you use to crunch your cheatsheets and to debug your crapped out MyFBG setup. You're gonna need it. In fact, my tech guys here in the Hawk's Nest are telling me it would be a good idea to buy a two-pack of these, plug one into the wall, and then daisy check the second one into that, so that you've got two levels of protection for your computer. Because a guy you've never heard of before named Tajae Sharpe is going to explode all your electronics equipment this season. Absolutely explode them. Televisions, computers, set-top boxes, that sweet sweet satellite on your roof--all of it.
Tajae Sharpe is one of those out-of-nowhere 5th round draft choices from UMass who comes into the league and sets it ablaze. He's listed at about 6'2" 200lbs coming out of the draft, but he plays longer and leaner than that, and I wouldn't be surprised if he's more like 6'3" with spectacularly long pass-snatching gluey arms. He has been so impressive in camp that the Titans decided to jettison one of our other favorites, DGB. Which, when you think about it, is a very Hawk thing for the Titans to do -- he we don't need these early picks, we're going to smash your mouth exotically with dudes we scooped in the 5th round.
He's one of those guys who came into the NFL and very quickly was a guy who everyone around him looks to and respects -- he's been said to have the "it factor," and is described as a guy who just gets it. He's earned the complete trust of Mariota, the Hawaiian Hunk who'll be zipping passes to the playmaker for years to come, well after Sharpe gets his first big payday from the Titans.
Here's a highlight reel from the last preseason game to wet your whistle: http://www.nfl.com/videos/nfl-game-highlights/0ap3000000688233/Every-Tajae-Sharpe-catch-from-Preseason-Week-2. He makes a lot of really tough catches look easy. The guy has a massive catch radius, and if you put it in the air anywhere near him, he's coming down with it. That's got special written all over it.
He's just turned 21, and with natural growth and now NFL conditioning, expect him to start working towards 210lbs and be one of the elite receivers in the NFL.
Unfortunately he's been zooming up draft boards, so those drafting late aren't going to get as much value. But get him while you still can.
He's going around WR60 off the board, and you'll end up with a Top 20 WR, an the Titan's #1 pass catcher, by season's end.
Top 20 WR (at least 80 receptions)

Kind of reminds me of the Bengals circa 2005-2006, where the individuals on offense went from doormats to darlings almost overnight, and those that recognized it first (Screeeeech!) profited.

Thanks for the insightful post with added humor.... although there's nothing funny about fantasy football...or potatoes.

Says the guy who was telling me Frank Gore would stink in the NFL, as Coach Otis, the sole voice of reason, shouted from the hilltops to Joe Bryant and Joy Bryant and Bryant Gumbel and Calbar that Frank Gore was about to break out and be a fantasy juggernaut, just months before Frank Gore broke out and became a fantasy juggernaut.
:take to the skies:

1: I never said Gore would stink in the NFL.
2: Really, you think going back to calls you may have made in 2006 is worth doing?

Nothing wrong with reminding the world that we've been flying these friendly skies for a decade.

I silently chuckled Saturday night when I picked Mariota as my backup QB when I thought to myself that Coach Otis would be proud.

Chuckle more when your backup QB becomes your starting QB by week 5. You're welcome.

Thinking of just asking my league mates if I can forfeit all my picks and just take this team. Don't need some gup snatching Moncrief because he just learned about Zero RB theory or taking Marietta "because he needs a high upside fill in for Brady"

"The sharks will take 20 QBs off the board before getting to what will be Football Moses for the next several fantasy seasons. He’ll just raise his arm and stadiums will split down the middle."
It's not even close, by far the best and funniest thread/OP I've ever seen you do. I've liked many but this one has a professional look and feel to it, the jokes are top shelf.

What's different about this season is the sense behind these picks. In the past, Otis, you've really tried to swing for the fences with some very "out there" predictions. This years' picks felt...safe...in comparison. Not much of a stretch to think that Mariota, Ingram, Josh Brown, Derrick Henry, and Moncrief are primed for big years. These are almost shark consensus picks.
But then you fire out with Ware, Higbee, and Thomas to rock the nest. Jury is way out for me on DGB, but also like the guts in putting your faith behind him.
Nicely done again, Coach.

Through Week 2
QB
Marcus Mariota - QB 5-8 - QB15 but only 6 points out of 8th position. Potential hit.
RB
Derrick Henry - Top 20 RB finish - Had to use control F to find him at RB49. Given he's only 7 pos behind consensus top 5 RB Ingram we'll call this a solid hit.
Mark Ingram - RB5 finish - Currently RB27. If you add 27 to his current point total he would be in RB5 position. Another solid hit.
Spencer Ware - Top 20 RB from week 5 on - It's ashamed Coach put in the week 5 on modifier because he's currently at RB5. Coach knocks it out of the park even when he shifts.
WR
Josh Gordon - Top 8 WR from week 5 on. - His twin Melvin is tearing it up so that bodes well.
Michael Thomas - Top 25 WR - Currently WR47 but only one merely TD out of WR25. He'll get that TD this week. Anther hit.
Dorial Green-Beckham - Top 25 WR finish - WR96. I've give an incomplete grade here. When Went improves and quadruples his production Green will be there.
Donte Moncrief - WR11 finish - What Coach really meant was the second WR in Indy. Incomplete.
Tajae Sharpe- Top 20 WR (at least 80 receptions) WR45, 11 receipts. On pace for 88 receipts. Hit.
TE
Tyler Higbee - Top 10 TE - TE62, It's not the Coach's fault his agent didn't tell him the team move to LA.
K
Chandler Cantazaro - Top 5 Kicker - K19, he does lead the league in PATs. Hit.
QB
Marcus Mariota - QB 5-8 - QB15 but only 6 points out of 8th position. Potential hit.

I knew I was in trouble this year when I counted up my 4 leagues and realized I own Coach's names in a combined 14 places.I'm a cumulative 1-7 so far, but that's probably because I inexplicably failed to subscribe to Coach's Premium Platinum Package (tm) this season.
Let that be a lesson to you all.
