Week X Discussion

Aaron Jones = RB1 RoS?

Anyone who faces the Dolphins = RB1 for that week.

He's averaging 12.9 PPG on the season and has more or less taken over that backfield over the last few weeks so I expect him to average more than that RoS. RB1 is about 16 ppg. I don't think it's a stretch. Also 1) Jones was more than just an RB1 today and 2) the Dolphins aren't that bad against the run. They allow the 8th most PPG to the position (and a pretty decent chunk of that was one game against NE).

Any see Anthony Miller’s game? Does he it look like he can do this consistently?

He’s been on the comeup and looks like today was a breakout game!

He looked great. The only issue is low target volume. Hard trust him enough to start him in fantasy.

Is the boxscore wrong or does Cooper really have 5 catches for 11 yards, with a long of 13? That cannot be accurate.

So I do not think many people thought Miami would defeat GB - but this is exactly why NE keeps winning year after year - GB was 'vulnerable' and a win by Miami puts them 1 game behind NE in the division.

Obviously Brock Osweiler is not an ideal QB - but the point is that even when the Patriots lose - they do not really hurt themselves because their divisional rivals can never take advantage.

Just imagine if Tom Brady is able to keep playing until 45 like he plans ...

He has 5 for 51 yards.

I remember when certain people were saying they wouldn't pick up Penny if he was on waivers, etc. People pass judgment on rookies way too quickly. He looked good today.

[fruity pebbles]

Dak with 27 pass attempts and Zeke with 10 carries through 3 is really inexcusable

[ArrylT]

At least like a shiny nickel.

So - even when Carson comes back you have to think Penny has earned himself some future work, right?

11 carries, 102 yards and a touchdown.

Have to think so. Once the guy you drafted in the 1st has a breakout game, can you really sit him again?

Hue Jackson did...

Hue was... a special case.

Zach Ertz and Travis Kelce are the reason that TE should not be a position in fantasy football. I'm about to lose to a guy that forgot to set a kicker and started a WR on bye.

It's impossible to overcome that type of positional advantage. I'm getting my face kicked in.

I assume that means you advocate either WR/TE or WR/RB/TE start positions then?

I'm advocating any option where I'm not forced to start a useless player against an elite league-winning piece that only 2 people can have in a league.

So...be one of those teams?

There are other very useful tight ends. Kittle, Ebron, Burton, Howard, Cook to name some.

You can make the argument about rbs too. If you don’t have Gurley Kamara or Hunt, you’re at a huge disadvantage. If you don’t have Mahomes, you’re at a disadvantage.

Cry me a river. I faced Ertz, Ebron and Hooper across my 3 leagues and I'm about to be 0-3 unless OBJ and Barkley go nuclear tomorrow night. Smoke is flying from my ears right now...
