I swear I went to bed at halftime and the Jets had a punt block showing across all my league scoring. My guess is that it got re-assessed, but wondering if anyone who watched the game could chime in. Went to bed with 14 points from my defense and woke up with 4. I think there was a partial block. My understanding is that a partially blocked FG counts as a block no matter what (unless it's good, I suppose) but a partially blocked punt only counts if it doesn't cross the line of scrimmage. If it does it's just a short punt. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Long Ball Larry 14,304 Posted September 23, 2018 Share Posted September 23, 2018 I know it's not really a good committee question, but I have Baltimore. Chicago was still sitting out there this morning inexplicably, so I decided to grab them as well. Chicago @ ARI seems clearly better than Baltimore vs. DEN today, but Baltimore seems to be projected around the same. Who is the better play? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Hot Sauce Guy 9,218 Posted September 25, 2018 Share Posted September 25, 2018 With CAR on the BYE, and Cinci facing a now red-hot Falcons offense, I wish I had high enough priority to pick up the Seahawks. Rosen is going to throw eleventy-gillion Ints. tempted to pick up the AZ D though - that Swiss cheese OL of the Seahawks + C.Jones = sack city. I could see AZ Defense getting some counting stats, but they might be on the field too much to keep the score low. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Haha well I guess Dede is my WR7 is Alshon ever plays so maybe I'll do it My team is pretty solid all over so I just don't want to tinker too much. But I clearly don't need 7 when I can only start 4 max. ETA: dangit, can't make a move this week. Knew I should have submitted last night. Alshon & Cook are both Questionable this morning, so I'd have to cut Westbrook & then drop another player to land the Seahawks. Silly IR rules been messing me up for weeks.

kyoun1e 898 Posted September 25, 2018 Share Posted September 25, 2018 Alright, there are three no brain streamers this week -- LAC vs SF, GB vs BUF, and SEA @AZ -- how do you rank them? I'll give it a shot. 1. LAC -- Gotta think SF is a bit in disarray. C. Beathard is not a good matchup for this secondary. And LAC has to crush this one. 2. GB vs BUF -- Counting on the MN game being an anomaly. GB D not great by any means, but they are much better at home and thinking BUF comes down to earth. They wont sneak up on GB. 3. SEA -- Think this is a solid play, but Rosen actually looks like he can be competent. Always wary of a D playing away as well. What ya got? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Stompin' Tom Connors 4,244 Posted September 25, 2018 Share Posted September 25, 2018 How do people see BAL? They got gashed in Week 2 but were solid WK1 and would have been a top-ranked D last week had a return for a TD been upheld given penalty. I was thinking of holding and platooning with SD for the year as I think both of these Ds grade out as Top 10 Ds ROS, rather than the added variance streaming might get.
