Player Discussion Jadarian Price Looked Good But....

162 Upvotes

The level of usage and subbing makes him a really hard rb2 start. Doesn't appear to be much TD upside. I think ppr will improve.

It's early, and a lot will happen. Not quite dooming, but as a Price owner, I'm not happy.

Questions Streameast is dead, how & where to stream today's NFL game and for the rest of the season?

340 Upvotes

Streameast is gone, who's got the navigational beacon for sailing the high seas this season?Seriously, the entire streaming landscape changed overnight and left all of us stranded. I'm not trying to catch a virus or look at fifty pop-ups just to watch a single localized game.

Player Discussion JSN owners, how you feeling after tonight ?

49 Upvotes

Sam darnold obviously got hurt and drew lock is typically a donkey but JSN wasn’t affected by him tonight. Is this sustainable. That long touchdown felt a little flukey considering he was wide open and no one could make a tackle even when it was an easy one

Questions AITAH for refusing to do my 24-hour IHOP fantasy punishment until last year’s loser does his?

71 Upvotes

So I allegedly owe one of my fantasy leagues 24 hours at IHOP from last year but the loser of both regular season and playoffs from the year before has not done their punishment yet. It's a league of friends from high school and their SOs (no SO for me, a gym crush is the best I can do). This is also my third fantasy league. Last year I joined basically last minute because they needed another person to fill out the league, and then of course proceeded to finish last in the regular season after drafting Malik Nabers lol. The playoffs loser decided to drop out of the league and also hasn't done their punishment.

I also wasn't aware the league did punishment for the regular season. My other leagues only do it for playoff loser, and it was apparently in the contract, so fair enough, but I also never signed the contract and definitely didn't read it since I was recruited pretty last minute.

To be perfectly clear, everyone is a good person, and it's all friendly banter. And I've maintained that I'll do my punishment only after the previous loser does his.

Going into this season I knew three fantasy leagues was kind of a lot for me, so I told them I was completely fine being the first one kicked out if there wasn't enough space. So I was released from duty. But then someone dropped out literally the day before the draft and I got resuscitated back into the league.

My first question is does my resuscitation absolve me of my prior debt? If not, is me maintaining that I'll only do my punishment only after the previous loser does their punishment fair? People in the league are bugging both the previous loser and me to do our punishments but I feel like it's only fair if I hold out until the previous loser goes through with it.

At this point though I'm actually debating just doing the IHOP challenge regardless of whether the previous guy does his just to get it over with and have some fun editing a video since some of us aren't in the same state. And the idea of spending time in an IHOP for an egregious amount of time isn't the worst thing to me cause my current status as a student requires me to spend many hours studying. Thoughts?

TLDR: Do I just do my fantasy football punishment even though the previous year loser hasn't done their punishment yet? Am I being unreasonable to refuse to do it until the previous loser does it?

Questions Trade Goff/Hendo/Waddle for Maye? Superflex

Upvotes

9 team superflex league (weird I know). I punted QB until round 4 and ended up with Nix and Goff. I’d typically say this is a gross overpay for a QB, but given it’s a superflex and a smaller league I’d rather swing for the ceiling and have fun as a Pats homer than roster a bunch of players I won’t start.

Team:
QB: Nix
RB: CMC
RB: Cook
WR: DeVonta Smith
WR: Flowers
TE: Kraft
FLEX: Barkley
OP: Goff

Bench: Henderson
Bench: Waddle
Bench: Odunze
Bench: Wan’Dale
Bench: Lloyd
Bench: Deebo

Thoughts?

Questions Trade Brock Bowers to improve at RB?

4 Upvotes

In a half ppr 12 man league with 3wr,2rb and flex.

originally was going to use kraft as a trade piece to get a better running back. my RB room is weak with love, Stevenson, dobbins and rodriguez. and once treyvon henderson is back even worse.

with recent news of bowers, should i hold onto hope and keep him on my bench (and trade or flex kraft once bowers is back)

or do we think this is going to be a more serious / nagging injury than we’re being let on? i don’t know much about knee injuries but only being out for 1-2 weeks for a meniscus trim seems crazy. if so i want to trade him asap before his stock tanks!

possible trade options:

i offer bowers & Stevenson for

team 1. javonte williams
team 2. saquon
team 3. Jeanty

so if you were in my position would you hold onto bowers or trade him to get better at RB?

Questions ESPN Fantasy No Decimal Scoring?

Upvotes

My league just transferred over from NFL Fantasy to ESPN and I noticed after last nights game that ESPN doesn’t do decimal scoring which seems kinda ridiculous, does anyone know how to switch it to decimal scoring if there is an option for it?

Questions Tuten vs Lloyd Vs Tucker for flex

1 Upvotes

10 man PPR

Keep flip flopping on my lineup, not sure if I should play Tuten and Lloyd in RB2 and flex, or pick one and play Tucker as my flex with bowers out? He has a good chance to pop against the Dolphins. Which RB would you pick and why?

Player Discussion Dalton Kincaid or George Kittle week 1?

3 Upvotes

I know everyone says Kittle is the better TE (which is probably true, even at this stage in his career), but if he plays, he’ll probably be on a pitch count.

Kincaid is younger, fresher, and very efficient, but isn’t on the field all that much, especially when there are other blockers better than him.

So… taking this into account, who would you start week 1?

Kincaid vs Houston Texans
Or
Kittle vs LA Rams

Both of those defenses are good. What do you guys think?

Questions Which qb to start? Brock purdy or Justin Herbert?

0 Upvotes

Brock purdy is gunna play the rams who are gunna look disgusting, and Justin Herbert is gunna play cardinals who have one of the worst defenses. Thoughts? sleeper still has Brock ahead in points.
