Nice catch by Sanders that won't make the box score

Garrett Bolles in mid-season form - holding.

 

[Cowboysfan8]

Fant is dinged

ankle?

 

[Ilov80s]

Nice catch by Sanders that won't make the box score

He's one of the low key better WRs of the last few years. He's no Julio or AB, but he's had a real nice career with Denver and except for that 1st season with Manning where he had 1400/9, he has done it with really bad QB play. 

 

[Zyphros]

Kinda hate to say it, but Flacco looks kind of good.  Maybe there is some value here with that offense after all.

Cecil Lammey @CecilLammey

Noah Fant has a foot injury is questionable to return.

 

[Ilov80s]

I am a little behind on DVR but

- draft Sanders with confidence, he's good to go and would not shock me if he leads the team in targets and yards

- Fant suffered what looks like a semi-serious lower leg injruy, took a tough hit the knee 

 

[ffldrew]

Turrible day for Garappalo - Beathard in now

 

[Ilov80s]

Is Jimmy as bad as the stats show?

Worse

 

[Quint]

Is Jimmy as bad as the stats show?

I say this as a non-myopic 9er fan:

he’s bordering on overrated, with a mediocre-at-best WR corps. 

 

[Cowboysfan8]

Is Jimmy as bad as the stats show?

Yep

 

[need2know]

Why is lindsay still in the game

 

[Cowboysfan8]

Why is lindsay still in the game

And Freeman

Mostert for SF has looked good at RB

nice to see another non-myopic fan with the same opinion

 

[SoBeDad]

Mostert for SF has looked good at RB

Yes. I'd downgrade Coleman, whose ADP  is around 26. Breida is a better runner. I see a lot of RBBC.

 

[cloppbeast]

Adam Thielen looking great so far. With all the haziness surrounding the WR2s, Thielen might be a great deal in drafts.

Here's hoping. It might be a little much to ask for his dynasty price to go up. I'll take a good season out of him, no need to be greedy.

 

[cloppbeast]

How much do we bump Mostert, maybe up to the 26th round?

 

[Payne]

Sure wish Sanders would stay down the rest of preseason. He is a steal at this point. 

 

[cloppbeast]

The NFL has to move to a 2 game preseason.  None of the good players even play in the first couple games.  At most 1 or 2 series.  

It's a complete waste.  Embarrassing for the league.

It's more embarrassing for us honestly. We're the crack heads, the NFL is the dealer driving the Cadillac with a gold chain around his neck.

 

[SoBeDad]

I'm not sure Coleman will be the main back if Breida stays healthy. 

 

[Ilov80s]

Will be tough to get his dynasty price up at all, just need him to live up to his current value I suppose. 

 

[cloppbeast]

I agree. Sucks to have him on a rebuild though.

 

[Mongidig]

up to the 22nd round now.

 

[ex-ghost]

Now Lock is out - thumb.

I hate to say it but I don't see Sanders lasting the year. He looks great but I avoid players coming back from injury. I hope I'm wrong.

I avoid receivers playing with Flacco.

 

[Mongidig]

I avoid receivers playing with Flacco.

I agree! This is gonna be a boring offense.

The Defense is going to be great!

Adam Schefter @AdamSchefter

Denver’s first-round pick, TE Noah Fant, suffered an ankle injury tonight against the 49ers, but it is not considered serious, per source.

 

[barackdhouse]

up to the 22nd round now.

Well he is on my board now. But I'm not drafting him anywhere (yet). I simply added him to my board.

Mostert always looks good in the preseason.

As someone from Winnipeg, I'm slightly insulted, mildly entertained, and overjoyed that they are playing a preseason game there with the players supporting (trying to?) the local town.  

 

[Andy Dufresne]

Not much different than thinking "Helsinki, Sweden", really.

Andy, bubby, I'm your white knight.

Field may be an issue in Calgary

week 3

 

[ConnSKINS26]

week 3

Less exciting than it used to be. Way less teams utilizing it as a dress rehearsal with all the starters. 

 

[Milkman]

Less exciting than it used to be. Way less teams utilizing it as a dress rehearsal with all the starters. 

McVay doesn't play his starters at I don't think. 

 

[stlrams]

Less exciting than it used to be. Way less teams utilizing it as a dress rehearsal with all the starters. 

Preseason is useless for ffl purposes now imho.

Josh Moser @TheMozKnowz

I just spoke to #Packers CEO/President Mark Murphy and he said, “We are still in the process of determining what to do.”

 

[Penguin]

Mike Garafolo @MikeGarafolo

The other thing being mulled is an 80-yard field to avoid the end zone, source says. But few people seem to know how that’ll even work. Again, stay tuned.

 

[Faust]

Mike Garafolo @MikeGarafolo

Word out of Winnipeg is the #Packers are mulling holding their starters out of tonight’s game vs. the #Raiders with field conditions in question. Again, Oakland was planning to sit key players. Stay tuned.

Field may be an issue in Calgary

what about winnipeg?

 

[Penguin]

Lol, not sure how Calgary popped into my head

Atlanta oline is a sieve

Dalton looks sharp this evening.

No idea if he’s facing starters on D
