the defending champ is crumbling!  super bowl hang over.

also, I refuse to answer any of your fantasy questions if you chose to ignore mine.

I say Bradshaw, I think he has a strangle hold on that offense now

i thought trich actually looked good last week.  maybe it was cuz the eagles were blitzing a lot and their focus was to stop luck but last week I thought he actually looked like a legit NFL rb. 

keenan allen has 9 fantasy points thru 3 games. guess ur coworkers know something u dont

AB #1 WR in all of fantasy and Bell #3 RB. BOOM that steelers O lookin deadly

also, if you cant beat danny when literally he has an entire bench full of starters on bye

dammit mikey got him? i was pumped i was playing manning on a bye now i gotta play my stillers qb

how weird is it looking at the standings?  I know its very early but were all 1-2 and in 6th or worse place and guys like erm are in 2nd or 3rd.  weird fantasy year so far!

larry! larry! larry!

i certainly didnt see that coming and could never trust eli as a fantasy starter but for one week that was a good pickup and play fish.


whyd you ask "how pissed is josh" thou? i figured you were playing him but ur not ur playing danny

I try to leave the Giants off my fantasy team. Double heart break on a sunday is a recipe for a hungover monday. To be fair double victory does as well I suppose.

I was never one of those ppl who thought the giants were dead after 2 weeks, too well coached and although I hate eli hes still a super bowl winning qb.  they also played a pretty good lions team on the road and a decent cardinals team that they blew the game on.

with that said, lets not go over board here, they beat the Texans and the skins on a short week aka #1 and #2 overall picks from 2013.  also, these Thursday night games are such garbage.  every week on of the teams is either really sloppy or under prepared and it shows.  I think all 4 Thursday night games this year have been a 20 point blow out, and I guess it makes more sense that a 10 year vet with a 2 time super bowl winning coach will be more prepared on a short week vs a qb/coach who have been doing this for 3 weeks.

with that said part 2, unless something crazy happens it looks like its gonna be eagles/giants for the division.  skins are 1-3 and have seattle and az coming up and I don't think dallas is a contender at all, so these next few weeks are going to be telling.

eagles got:

- 49ers

- rams

-giants

giants got:

-skins (W)

- falcons

- eagles

the team that goes 2-1 (or better) in these 3 games will have a huge advantage the rest of the year and will be the clear favorite for the NFC East.

Shootout, if I was forced to start him I wouldn't exactly be upset.

Ehh thats tough. (This is fun! Eli is a consideration again!!!)


Also: Next year, it's time we added the ability to start a TE in the flex.

fantasy and real life aint the same thing. if theyre returning 3 kicks a game for TDs ill take it.

looks like someone bid less tha 3 pts for them ;)

josh, how the hell did you know about Jerick McKinnon before last weeks game?

impressive BUT you're currently 1-3 and in 11th place haha.  bad luck or do you over think things?

Flex help, pick one:

Marques Colston against TB

Jerick McKinnon against GB

Isaiah Crowell against TEN

if tate is out go crowell.  if tate is playing go colston

that's very bold, has he even had a full week of practice yet?

in other news, me and nicks convo from last night before the packers/Vikings game:

(not direct quotes)

nick: fish, im struggling in fantasy this year so I need your help.  who should I start cordell Patterson or Brandon cooks?

me:  well nick, if teddy bridgewater is out that means 3rd string Christian ponder will be starting on the road on a short week. or you can go with a Wr who has drew breese throwing to him in a dome at home where he rarely loses.  you should go cooks.

nick: yeah well Patterson did ok with ponder throwing to him last year.

me: yes, we he also had somebody named AP running the ball the entire game.

nick: I'm going with Patterson.

final result: Patterson .8 points

yeahhhh thats not how it went at all but whatevs. starting cooks wouldnt have stopped packers d from putting up 100 points so oh well

besides, cpatt was injured before the comeback they were putting together

while the steelers defense played well to a tune of 14 points the eagles was slightly better.


While you're thinking, the important part of the story here is that after five games, the Philadelphia Eagles have now scored a touchdown in seven different ways, per RedZone's Scott Hanson and FTW. No team in the NFL has ever scored a touchdown all eight ways, but the Eagles now have the rest of the year to do so.

All right, so let's get to the many situations in which you can score a touchdown. The first two are easy:

• Rushing touchdown. This happens regularly, unless you're Jacksonville.

• Receiving touchdown. Fantasy bonus if you own both QB and receiver.

Next, you've got the special teams touchdowns:

• Kickoff touchdown. Momentum reverser.

• Punt return touchdown. Should've kicked it out of bounds.

The rest involve some kind of miscue, and are painful indeed.

• Fumble return. The defensive heartbreaker.

• Interception return. The pick-six QB breaker.

• Punt block return. Insult atop injury.

So what does that leave? The one kind of touchdown situation that the Eagles haven't yet scored: a botched field goal. If a field goal is blocked, or is caught short of the crossbar, the defense can return it for a touchdown. It's a rare play, certainly, but not an impossible one, as Alabama could tell you.

90 points on those 2?! geeze u better hope the starters are out for a while!

coming from the guy who picked up knile davis for over 60 points and started him 1 game haha

anyway, from what I read both Ball and Jennings will be out a few weeks and I rarely use my points on anyone so I figured I might as well go for it with 2 starting RB's out there.  plus it blocks people from being able to use them and gain ground on me.  I like having 5 starting RB's (6 when Donald brown comes back) with bye weeks coming up.  hopefully it pays off for me
