2023 Week 2

[FantasyFreak]

Wow, the very rare 5-0 week.

Dynasty #3 won 150-102.
Dynasty #4 won 178-172.
Superflex #1 won 169-109.
Superflex #2 won 194-65.
Ultimate Redraft won 187-179.

Thank you all for your help and advice.

I guess you're not counting the Bears, or your Bears takes, then?
Sorry, but I had too. Yes, I am salty after losing a matchup on that Olave foot OB........

In a ll seriousness, well done. Dynasty 4 and your redraft looked close!

Superflex #2, what time were you a realistic winner by? Half time of Sunday's 1 PM ET starts? Earlier???

NFLN talking about JT to the Browns as an option. It would remind me waaaaaaay too much of Trent Richardson trade!

Apart from the fact that the Colts asking price to this point has been "the sun, the moon, and the stars"...

And ALSO apart from the fact that the NFL Network is just throwing sh-- at the wall to kill the hours, and knows about as much (or less) than we do...

Also apart from the fact that Jonathan Taylor is actually good. In 2021 he nearly doubled TRich's best rushing yardage total.

Watson, right now, in the prime of his career, looks like the most overpaid player in sports (if you ignore Joe Burrow).

LOL ouch. Yeah, bleep Bears.

#3 I'm a contender, solid team.
#4 is this crazy start 3 min rb / 4 min wr. Was weak, drafted Bijan, now a contender. Won on PIT DEF TD.
Supeflex #1 I've only had a few years, been rebuilding, year three, also Bijan.
Superflex #2 is orphan that was last place last year, took Bijan, somehow is winning? WTH? Other guy had NO starting QBs.
Redraft is this bonkers start qb-qb-rb-rb-rb-wr-wr-wr-wr-te-te-flex-k-d. I always suck. Doing okay!

Good times. Helps to offset the pain of being a Bears fan. LOL.

Yep. And apart from adding everything else I wrote about them being pick poor and staring down the barrel of 2024 cap crunch...

What part of the first two games would have the Browns thinking they need to make an "All In" move for 2023?

This team looks more like a Wild Card contender than a true threat for the big one.

If you have him in a SF league as one of your top 2 QB's....yikes. He was going early 2nd whenever I was in a draft. Not looking good. I am not sure it's time to throw in the towel....whoops, maybe not the best analogy. Not trying to "rub it in" after another sub par performance, but now all the buy low people who only care about winning are likely sweating. Such a shame. Can't imagine what the talk in Browns land must be like. So many people so desperate for their team to be relevant, they were really putting the blinders on. That fan base has to be so divided right now.

IF I am going to have to watch bad football, I can't think of a guy I'd see doing it, than Deshaun Watson.

[Kurt G.O.A.T.]

The Browns are locked into this for 4 more years. The idiots.

[StripesOfKC]

I'd still say to buy Watson on the DL if you are a relatively competitive team with a need at QB

Don't get me wrong he is looking pretty bad right now and the rust excuse is starting to run out

But through 2 games he has 20 and 12 fantasy points---not the end of the world---while facing 2 pretty good defenses

But really it comes down to the fact that there just aren't many QBs who have the rushing upside he does

On KTC he is valued as close to Zay Flowers, Jordan Love and Bryce Young/CJ Stroud

I don't think any of those can bring the point upside Watson has

And really remember: he has an as big of a leash as it gets to figure it out. They sold their souls for him

The Browns might want to reach out to the Jets about Cook. Could be good for everyone involved.

Jets: Their season died with Rodgers. Cook is a luxury they don’t need at this point and Carter can function just fine as to let Breece ease back in.
Cook: He goes back to an offense he excelled in and a coaching staff he knows. (though no idea if this is actually a plus for him.)
Browns: They need a running back and grabbing a guy on a one year deal would fit their cap pretty well and he should be less costly than someone like JT given his contract and where he’s at in his career.

I need to see Bryce with more (any) weapons. I think he's still going to be alright

I'm not sold - he looks so tiny, and that O line is awful.

I actually think Carter would be the better option for the Jets and Browns. I'm not convinced the Jets believe their season is done. Super Bowl windows don't stay open for long and they clearly believe they were a QB away. I think they would rather trade for a 1 year replacement QB while Rodgers gets healthy.

Breece is unhappy with his touches and they just paid cook. Trade Carter and let Izzy slide into the 3rd RB spot.

[Multiple Scorgasms]

Anyone else have a CRAZY difference in their first 2 weeks of scoring? Like double or more?

My core guys - J Allen, Barkley, J Cook, Lamb, Olave, K Allen, Kirk, Ertz/Pitts.

Week 1 lost with weak points, this week HUGE win. (Edited to add - Swift on the bench both weeks. And funnily enough it didn't matter either week that he was a dud and then stud.)

Zach Ertz = core guy
Absolutely refuses to go away

I need a similar turnaround in my two keeper leagues. I have rosters that I thought for sure were juggernauts and might lose 2 games all season. They’re currently both 0-2

I’m not sure who they can get for the $9.5M they have in cap space. I’m also not sure why moving Carter is a good move for the Jets. He’s young, cost controlled and has some talent. Moving Cook makes even more sense if the answer is to pick up a stopgap QB as you can clear around $6M in space by moving him while only having a minor impact on the talent level of that offense.
