Survivor pool update:
Vic, Edible, and yuyukos are all still out at 0-1 but hey now we have better things to do than waste 3 seconds picking a single game!
PX: 3-0 (Dallas, Indianapolis, Jets)
kagiyamahina: 3-0 (Arizona, Atlanta, Cincinnati)
Kilga: 3-0 (Minnesota, New England, Washington)
Despite the fluke win, my team is still the worst that ever worsted. Jameis Winston should not be starting under any circumstances this year because he is CLEARLY not ready. I don't know what Lovie Smith has against Mike Glennon (who has proven himself in limited starts to be a decent and capable QB but by no means a world beater) but he has shunned him from the start; first by bringing in Josh McCown and giving him the start without question, then throwing the rookie Winston ahead of him rather than sitting Winston to ensure that he's ready. Sure Winston had a decent fantasy outing with 20+ points for me, but he threw 4 picks and I think lost a fumble? He's awful and might be better in the future but he should be benched for now. At least I only have to use him for another week.
Meanwhile I still have Teddy Bridgewater as my QB2 and he's awful for fantasy. Do the Vikings even have any receivers on the roster or does everything just go through ADP? Serious question btw, because Bridgewater is basically just a facilitator at this point.
Dear Chris Ivory, I'm very sorry for all the mean and hurtful things I wrote about you last week. Please continue to clown opposing defenses for the rest of the season. Kissies, Vic.
Per Yahoo recap bot: "Misaki Nekoarcs had their largest margin of victory so far this year at 8.64 points." THAT'S THE TEAM I KNOW AND LOVE
Boy howdy I sure am glad I spent my first four picks on elite wide receivers, let's see how they're doing:
Antonio Brown: Was playing well under Big Ben, but now with Vick under center I doubt he'll be nearly as productive.
TY Hilton: meh
Odell Beckham Jr: This is twice that he's been a complete non-factor in the passing game. Does Eli just not trust himself to get OBJ the ball? Does he not trust OBJ to make a stunning catch regardless of coverage? Know who had more fantasy points than OBJ this weekend? Brenton Bersin! The practice squad call-up WR5 afterthought-on-any-other-team from the Panthers.
MIKE EVANS: YOU FUCK!!!!!!
Lance Dunbar is out for the season with a torn ACL. Regardless of fantasy implications, are the Cowboys cursed this year? It's completely ridiculous how much is going wrong for them wrt player injuries. If Jason Witten weren't made of titanium I would expect him to be out before long.
Who is the best RB for the Bengals: Jeremy Hill or Gio Bernard? Yes.
The Panthers are 4-0 heading into the bye week. Why do they have bye weeks this early? Bye weeks should be more towards the middle of the season, like weeks 7-11 because is a bye week really necessary in week 4? Panthers should come out of this bye with a replenished roster, adding back Kuechly and Cotchery and ready to face Seattle at Century Link. With the way that they have been playing, this second quarter of the Panthers schedule that was once seen as vicious has been mostly de-fanged. Seattle looks troubled but is putting things back together, the Eagles are a dumpster fire, and the Colts are playing poorly and may not have a coach for much longer. However, the Packers are still playing extremely well and even though we play host to them it'll likely be a tough loss. Josh Norman is playing out of his fucking mind and is for all intents and purposes the best corner in the league, and I am highly interested to see if he continues to play at this level moving forward. If so, then for the love of God pay this man some money!
Since the Panthers will not be on TV this weekend, I wonder what game they will show in its place? I imagine that it will be the Falcons-Washington game. The Falcons look great as well btw: Jones can catch and Freeman can pound the rock. If the Panthers haven't played anyone, then the Falcons have had some extremely lucky breaks (and haven't played anyone) but I believe both teams will continue to play well this year and their two games in December should be very exciting!
