Did anybody watch the Bucs vs Saints game? I saw Cam Jordan consistently in the backfield with Brady and should have at least had some half sacks and his box score at the end of the game is 0 across the board??

He was credited with 1 QB Hit in my league. I have never understood what the clear definition of a QB hit is for stat purposes. I have watched guys hammer the QB and get nothing and then other times barely push a guy and get credit. Is there an official definition of this stat somewhere or just left up to the subjectiveness of the statistician?
Also, while on the subject - how can you get credit for a tackle, sack, and QB hit on a strip sack but don't get credit for a tackle for loss? You get credit for a tackle - it happened 4 yds behind the line of scrimmage......how is it also not a TFL? ok rant over.

Guys, maybe this was put on here already but if not, you may want to jump on Kamren Curl (Washington's SS) before he's picked up by someone else. I haven't seen his snap count % yet but he's replacing Landon Collins and first game put up 6 solos, 5 assists, and a sack.

Well, I missed him. Didn't think anyone in my league would know who he was so only bid $1 on him. Guy got him with a bid of $1 but had higher waiver priority. Dammit, serves me right for being cheap on my FAB bid. But maybe it was meant to be because after I finished throwing my tantrum this morning, I saw that Jordan Fuller is coming off IR so I grabbed him. I think this kid could be special and the LBs in front of him are not that great. He just needs to stay healthy.drewd_21 said:

Sam Hubbard was activated off IR and is reportedly going to play vs the Steelers this week. Would be a nice pickup if he was dropped.

Does Justin Houston still play for the Colts?

Could have sworn I saw him hitting Tannehill this week after the ball was released, so I'm guessing yes. But I get what you're saying. He's been el stinko this year.
I traded away Budda as part of a rebuild effort and picked this guy up off waivers. He was very good and always around the line of scrimmage. I watched a lot of the game to see if his performance was just stat fluff for a small sample size but he was in the box a lot, rushed the QB at times and was always around the ball. Looks like a keeper for the rest of this year. Pick him up if he is still on waivers.

I sent him packing last week. He's not been terrible, but he's not playing enough snaps to be a difference maker in our game even when positive regression strikes anyway.

Last 7 weeks, and I know there is a bye in there, he has gotten 5 pts in my league, 1 tackle, 1 assist and 1 fumble recov. Hardly worth keeping around, but he'll spark up when I cut him.

Holcomb at 90% week 9 and 100% week 10. Probably still available in shallower leagues.

Isaiah Simmons finally producing.

If he can get his assignments down and just be in the right place, he's going to be a heck of a player given that athleticism. It pops off the screen.
Very hard to trust at this point. Give me another game or two of getting significant play time before I believe for fantasy purposes. I am holding in dynasty but tough to put in the lineup. Up until this point he is maxed at 52% snap count. Tough to depend on that but looks like he is trending in the right direction.

Just a quick tidbit from the paid subscription here from Week 10. I found this amusing and doubt if FBG will mind a re-post in their free forum. Needless to say it comes with a plug to get a subscription and read the articles John Norton puts out every week. Quality stuff. You guys might find the italicized font funny. If it bit you, my apologies.
Indianapolis Colts
The Colts stats crew is rather generous whenever the Colts play at home, but in Week 9 the numbers just didn’t add up. The Ravens ran 53 offensive plays that did not end in a score, but 58 solo tackles were awarded. Maybe that helps to explain the 13 solo tackles Darius Leonard was credited with on Sunday.
The Colts are at Tennessee this week so they will not get that home-field edge, but that is not the only concern with this matchup. The Titans offense has gone into hibernation over the last two games. In matchups with the Bengals and Bears, only safety Jesse Bates and linebacker Roquan Smith have reached double-digit fantasy points.
Beware starting DeForest Buckner with this matchup as well. Tennessee has not allowed a sack to an interior lineman all season.

EOTG has been appointment reading for me since the first day it came to FBG, but I find myself missing it many weeks this season - the Tuesday waiver articles I've been using have been filling my IDP info needs, and I just find myself forgetting to check for EOTG.

He injured his knee in week 2 or 3 and missed a bunch of games. Maybe the knee isn't fully healed and its affecting his speed and power so he's not getting any push.

Anyone have any info on Jerome Baker's fall from grace? His snap count has plummeted, and I might need to cut him loose if this is a long term trend.
My LBs are typically a strong point of my team, but this year, with the exception of Martinez, it's been difficult. Littleton, Bush, Baker, Evans, Mosely, Simmons

NEWS ARTICLES > MICAH KISER: SUFFERS INJURY MONDAY
PUBLISHED TUE NOV 24 3:10:26 P.M. ET 2020
(RotoWire) Kiser exited late in the fourth quarter of Monday's win over the Buccaneers and didn't return, Cameron DaSilva of USA Today reports.
Analysis: Kiser took a head-to-head hit from Bucs running back Leonard Fournette and then had his left leg rolled up on. It's unclear which part of the sequence kept him out of the game, but that information should be revealed when the Rams begin their practice week Wednesday.

I haven't seen enough for this to be my own opinion, but reports are he's not really that good, and it was more of a surprise that his playing time lasted so long.

Who is going to play in the middle for the Rams now Kiser is out a few weeks at least?
Just placed on IR with a knee injury. I assume this is a big reason for the subpar year as he tried to play through it.

Probably Reeder, but he comes with a not good lb warning. Those guys don't always have a predictable workload.

Reeder filled in once before and was a monster, like 10 tackles and 3 sacks or something crazy. I grabbed him off waivers but have consistent lbers now so he’s in a back up role for now.

2 Starts 2 monster games. Looks like next week someone else will have a back up role for me.

I won't pull the trigger just yet, but I have the benefit of time. I don't need to win until either week 14 or 15. Gonna keep playing my other 100% snap guys, but may get cute when the dance starts.

A.J. Klein just checked in to say hai when it came to backups having monster games recently. He went for over twenty-two three straight in our league.

I don't know. He was nowhere to be seen. It might hurt him that Akiem Hicks was inactive. Not having him really hurts the Bears as it affects their whole defensive scheme.

I stopped paying attention early on cause it wasn't competitive, but I noticed they seemed to run Aaron Jones away from him on those early drives and weren't targeting whoever Roquan was covering.

Why not in dynasty? I mean is he going to find a better spot than where he is now? He's opposite Bosa and half the time playing as a LB designated as a DL. You don't get much better than that. They aren't a franchise that brings players back with deals the players like, and he's not really franchise tag worthy, is he?
Because he has shown that he is a good pass rusher and this year has obviously been due to an early season injury. I wouldn't give up on him as pass rushers are hard to find.
Now if you need the space for someone else obviously it would depend on that need and may dictate dropping Ingram. I just wouldn't do it for the sake of doing it.

The Bears D-tackles were pitiful in this game. Packers IOLs routinely, easily climbed to the second level to take Smith away from the play.

I just wanted to give a thank you to @Aaron Rudnicki for the IDP Upgrades/Downgrades article that comes out every week for the subscribers. This and the Eyes of the Guru article by @John Norton are by far the two best pieces of IDP information that is produced from the website. I have been critical of some of the other offerings so I figured I would give credit where it is due.

Kenny Vacarro is out, Hooker the starter at SS today? Good matchup I think with a team that runs a lot. If anyone needing a safety fill in.
