Week IV Discussion thread

In standard leagues, average QBs don't really matter but elite ones do. Most QBs are capable of putting up 15-25 points a game but elite ones can put up 40-50...which drastically improves your chance of winning.

- This Lindsay story is pretty awesome, he would have never been on my radar if it weren't for the metric/college dominator crowd. I imagine I should sell him but he's playing incredibly well right now. Even with Royce, I have no clue why Booker is even seeing the field. What a shame.

- Sutton, already looking better than DT at the moment. Not sure if it's an indictment of Keenum and DT's connection but Sutton to me looks real.

- Can't say I expected this from Mahomes, I remember him as the late riser in 2017...have to wonder if his redshirt year really made the difference. Last night it felt like he could never be touched or brought down. I do own 1 share fwiw.

In a standard league, even in dynasty, qb just doesn't matter. Heard a podcast where Christopher Harris was saying SF should become the new standard. Not a big fan of his, but I have to agree.

With the league geared toward more passing, you need to create a lack of scarcity at the position.

Maybe in a 12 team league, but play in a 16 team league and QB's definitely matter in standard. Especially 6 pt/td with a top tier QB.

I do and they don't. Moreso than in a 10 or 12 team, sure but not enough.

Agreed.

Curious, what is it you don’t like about Harris typically? I love his show and respect the heck out of his work, but he can be insufferably snarky for sure.

That's exactly it. It's him personally more than his work. He comes off like he thinks he's smarter *and funnier* than everyone else. If you have to constantly tell everyone how snarky and funny you are, you aren't.

[lukkynumber13]

I couldn’t agree more on the funnier thing. He has very little self awareness apparently when it comes to his own humor.

The smarts thing, I don’t get too hung up on because it’s obvious that he is certainly very intelligent as well as educated, so I just accept him coming off as smarter than everyone, but it’s when he’s snarky that he gets really annoying.

But yeah, when he laughs at his own jokes... ugh.
