injuries are mounting and this stretch of the schedule has been nice - murderers row of Jax-NYJ-Oak. the Seattle win looks real good though and a win at buffalo is decent

Broncos are in trouble if Brandon McManus is their kicker in the playoffs.

Broncos can spin this however they want, but if this turns out to be a strictly financial decision, it's going to be one they regret in time. Only reason it'd be understandable is if there's more going on with Prater right now that's not been made public yet.

Nah...That's exactly what I said when they decided to pinch a few pennies and get rid of Moreno and keep Ball and see how well that worked out .... :)

 
I'll try to add a serious "What I learned".

I learned that the NFL seems to have several distinct "turns" to it. The first few weeks always seem to be "anything goes" and then about a month into it, things seem to be a little more "normal" (or at least, what is normal for that year).

The wild fluctuations from any and all players seem to be settling down and the RBs are seeming to get their legs under them (literally).

I think with the way the new NFLPA agreement is and the pre-season, that the first few weeks of the NFL season has become "pre-season" and it takes until about October nowadays until we see what the real teams are and are not.

1) Kelce is matchup proof.

2) Austin Davis is pretty good.

3) Kenny Britt is having a mini career revival.

4) Brian Quick is really good, and will prove to be one of the biggest draft day steals this year.

5) The saints got some problems...they can't get right.

6) Demaryius was a great buy low.

7) Jordy might end up being the top WR in all the land this year.

8) Jay Cutler is finally living up to his fantasy potential.

9) Vjax's demise was way overblown.

10) Kyle Orton just might make buffalo better...which is scary bc he's not really very good.

Kelce is matchup proof? I am looking at his stats and he has one really great game so far and bunch of games that are so, so....There are probably at least 15 TEs that are similar to him or better than him stat wise.

That is BC you are only looking at his stats. His usage was very sparing in the first 2-3 weeks. He has emerged as an every week start elite TE.

:lol: What you are describing has a name and that name is not Travis Kelce. I have Greg Olsen and although I think he has done great so far, I would have a hard time calling him an every week start elite TE. Olsen is 10 x better than Kelce.

uhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

greg olsen is the #4 ranked TE in my league right now in terms of points per game. only behind julius/graham/bennett. i would call that an every-week elite TE.

kelce is a top 10 TE so far as well, btw. you have to realize that this just hasn't been a great year for TEs in general compared to the past few, so standards are different. having kelce still gives you a significant advantage over the guy trying to decide between jordan cameron & zach ertz every week!

Noted BUT Kelce has only been in 40%of the snaps. Can you imagine when he is in every play?? Olsen is a every week play but once Kelce is in full time he will blow Olsen out of that spot.
 
Nobody is an automatic must start.

The elite TE club (3) is not accepting new members.

Peyton Manning is unfamiliar with the phrase 'regression to the mean'.

Phillip Rivers is (still) back.

M Bennett is doing his usual flash in the pan September outburst.

NE RB predictability hasn't changed, and the Saints are attempting join the party.

Never ever bet against NE/Bill/Brady. Unless it's the Superbowl, because Brady chokes in the Big Game.

The SEA DEF is nothing special from a fantasy perspective.
