Week 8 Discussion
OK, I'll start it!
How's this:
To the people that have consistently ranked Kyler over Lamar... I have often remarked: "Yes, but if you gave Lamar DeAndre Hopkins, would you change your mind?"
Interesting data set building here today on that front.

Re: Week 8 Discussion
AJ Dillon looks good. Maybe a poor man's Derrick Henry type career? As in the first few years, not much, but years 3 and on? He can be a lead back by the looks of it.

Habaneros make the best tasting hot sauce. Throwing a bunch of random stuff on top of fries doesn't mean you call it "poutine".

Re: Week 8 Discussion
I've long thought so, I've got him in 2/3 leagues. 4.5 forty at 6"0 250 lbs sure does make it a business decision for LB's whenever he's carrying; he's been awesome at grinding the extra yards today. Has made something out of nothing on a few plays now where he's been dead-to-rights.FantasyFreak wrote: ↑Thu Oct 28, 2021 6:57 pm AJ Dillon looks good. Maybe a poor man's Derrick Henry type career?

If Aaron Jones goes down at any point this season, we're going to see some old-school running violence with Dillon.

It’s a shame his first 2-3 years will be wasted.FantasyFreak wrote: ↑Thu Oct 28, 2021 6:57 pm AJ Dillon looks good. Maybe a poor man's Derrick Henry type career? As in the first few years, not much, but years 3 and on? He can be a lead back by the looks of it.
Re: Week 8 Discussion
Looking like a total clunker for Kyler tonight. Feels like a playoff game. Tough injuries tonight. Hopkins, Kylin and now Tonyan plus that other Cards player.
AJ Dillon is fun to watch. Jones is a much more complete back but it's comical watching some of these guys try and wrap up those ginormous thighs of Dillon.
Green Bay defense is the story of this game. They are playing playoff caliber tonight.

Re: Week 8 Discussion
Moore seemed to have 3 bad plays in close succession (muffed fair catch, bringing ball out of endzone and getting to the 15, and then tipping the screen pass).
I always am amazed that Kyler looks more like a javelin thrower than a QB when throwing deep.

Dillon has averaged 2.47 yards after contact per carry since entering the league last season. No player in the NFL (min. 100 rushes) has averaged more than Dillon during that time

Re: Week 8 Discussion
It's a lovely stat, but as per the twitter replies after it - it's a cherry picked/wrong stat. Both Henry and Chubb are higher on the year, and with a hell of a lot more carries to boot.ArrylT wrote: ↑Fri Oct 29, 2021 9:41 am https://twitter.com/FieldYates/status/1 ... 1652580355

But... it's still a lovely stat, and Dillon is still a true beast of a back that is just waiting for his opportunity.
Re: Week 8 Discussion
Good to know - all I can do is trust that the stats provided are accurate when I share them but it is up to all of us to decide how much weight we want to give the information - and of course verify that the stats havent been manipulated or stressed falsely.

Re: Week 8 Discussion
Looking forward to Toney on Monday Night vs the Chiefs terrible defense, if he's healthy enough to do so. A prime time game vs a defense this bad could propel his value so high that we may never be able to buy low on him again.

I'm taking the risk that he plays. Such an exciting player!

Re: Week 8 Discussion
Looks like Ridley is out again with a personal matter. Second time this season. I worry that he may be iffy the rest of the year until this unknown personal matter is done.

Re: Week 8 Discussion
I'll be updating the 1st Round WR thread after this weeks games - but it is going to be interesting with the different # of games played (some will have 8 others will have 6 or less).
