Midseason Dynasty Surprises

[Kurt G.O.A.T.]

henderson is still standing upright after carrying the load the whole season.

Strong WR rookie class! Chase came out with a strong statement justifying some picking him at 1.01 but other rookies have done good ie Bateman!

Lots of fantasy related injuries and last minute covid swaps!

Lamb passed Cooper in rankings!

This definitely happened last year or offseason at the latest

From the moment he was drafted I NEVER saw lamb go after Cooper. Maybe the rankings on site didn’t have it that way but no one drafted Cooper ahead of lamb in any drafts I saw

Henderson being a legit RB1. If LA doesn't go RB hunting this offseason, this season could set up Henderson for another good run next season.

Akers

Akers

Akers tore his Achilles. That's far worse than ACL or other common season ending injury.

TIGHT END melting pot

All the talk preseason was about a TE aristocracy, an extremely top-heavy group that would totally outpace the next group of 8.
Mostly it's been Kelce, then a drop to Andrews, then everybody else.

Though I held firm against spending much for TEs, even I am surprised the TE curve has flattened this much.

Leagues where start 2TEP are required are still slightly ahead of their time - and I love TE!

Simply not fun to grossly overpay at TE in drafts/trades or wait and start garbage every week, with virtually no middle ground.

What does Kevin Durant think about that?

What does Kevin Durant think about that?

He thinks he's a 7ft shooter playing a far different sport that doesn't initiate nearly as much violent contact, and that doesn't require abrupt changes of direction as much as it calls for constant leg impacts from jumping up-and-down.

He thinks it took him 1.5 years to return to his sport, and even then, probably realistically 2-to-3 years to be truly himself again. He thinks he is lucky that he has the trump card against lost athletic explosion in the NBA - an almighty jump shot, and the length to pull up over any defender to get it off. He thinks this skillset will continue to age incredibly well in his 30's, even if his athleticism starts to truly wane at any point.

He thinks you should maybe not compare HoF basketball players to NFL running backs, and find a new analogy. But that's just his opinion, ya dig.

Please kindly name 1 NFL RB that this injury didn't end their career within a couple of seasons. I'll wait

There was for sure in new Dynasty leagues that order - but if someone drafted them I’m pretty sure they expected a 1a-1b type of scoring this year. I expected them to be within 5 rankings delta in a PPR league. Yes Lamb was ahead due to age however lots still question if he could be the top Wr. I think Lamb has done a pretty big leap into this year solidifying he is the top scorer for sure! I also expected Cooper to have a lot more weeks where he would be higher scoring than Lamb!

This is my favourite post in a while. Akers may come back and be the same back next year (unlikely), but Kevin Durant and his situation will have absolutely nothing to do with it. Apples and oranges.
