August 11Aug 11 Hey all. Has anybody been hitting the podcast draft training circuit as hard as I have been? It's that time of year. Who are you all liking and disking? I'm looking at a lot of the rookies at RB and WR. Hampton, Harvey, Henderson, Johnson. T Mac, Egbuka, love all of these dudes. We draft 8/23.

August 16Aug 16 Author I used to play in a shaggy league but it dissolved. Might be interested in another paid league if you need fillers. Back to draft matters, who do you all have on your DND list? I'm not touching these guys at current ADP. CMC. I'm hearing a lot of recent chatter that the pros want this guy at his current ADP. I'm not worried about general injury, I'm worried about THE injury. I'm an NBA guy and recent track record for guys coming off of calf strains with tendinitis in the AT isn't great. Plus I'm a jinx and I don't wish that on him. Jeanty - unless keeper league All Dolphins - getting bad juju about this team this year. Implosion seems like a real possibility. Breece Hall is apparently trending towards being more of a pass catching back in a 3 man timeshare. No thanks. I fear pretty big regression with James Cook. I have listened to a lot of podcasts and I have yet to hear anyone mention in regards to Cook that Josh Allen had a broken left hand for a big chunk of the season and the Bills were not calling his number in the red zone. Any others?

This was a bit overstated by some of the guys I was hearing it from, at least if this weekend's game is any evidence. I think Hall is the main back, but they will use Allen in short yardage situations and on the goal line.

I am looking to add one more league and I know one other person from a league that he and I were in that died - he is looking to join a league as well (I don't think he is a surly guy though, not sure) - so that is two more that would join if a new league gets started. We'd be down for anything (8 team, 10 team, 12 team, keeper, redraft, etc.) from $100 entry upwards.
August 20Aug 20 Looks like ESPN took the option away to have your own team logo. Awesome. It's like they don't want people using their product.
August 24Aug 24 Author Draft was tonight. If your league pays any kind of attention don't count on those rookie discounts. Hampton, Henderson, Harvey, Kaleb Johnson, T Mac all went for a premium well beyond where they were projected (auction). I have the worst RB room in the history of my league that has been going since 93. James Connor, the Jags (with BT Jr as my keeper) and I better hope Cam Skeetebo comes around. On the plus side it's a ppr league and I'm 7 deep at WR/TE/Flex. Still not what I was going for. Josh Allen is my RB1 I guess.
August 26Aug 26 Got the #10 pick in a 12-teamer with mostly Surly-ites tonight. Guess I better start doing some fucking research.
August 28Aug 28 My wife's book club did their first ever FF draft tonight so of course I drafted for her. Fish in a damn barrel. I saw Kickers and D/ST's getting picked in the 5th round. Lots of random wtf picks. Her team is fucking loaded.
August 28Aug 28 Had an 18-team, 2-QB Guillotine auction draft tonight, one dude somehow managed to go 0-32 on starting QBs. Oops.
August 28Aug 28 Got pick 1 in a 12 team. First year doing dynasty in this league so obviously this draft is important. Someone convince me not to take Bijan 1.1

Leaning NYJ. Agree on NYJ. Chicago is intriguing as well getting JJ in his first start. Had my auction draft last night which went sideways as usual.

September 8Sep 8 I think I got a combined one quarter of play out of Worthy and Kittle this week, but Josh slapped his big dick on the table and I ended up with the top score so far in my league, which wins a bounty, although there's probably a couple of others with a chance to pass me tomorrow. That was fucking awesome to watch, as I also bet Bills in game at .14(+615) on Kalshi.

September 8Sep 8 I was ready to complain about my team (minus QB) scoring zero TD's this week, which is exactly how my season started last year. My RB's (Taylor/Hall) got vultured by wankin' Daniel Jones and Fields who both scored two short rushing TD's. Then Cook scored, so I got one. Yay. I checked my league and was shocked to see I'll probably have the highest score of the week. Scoring was down this week. I'm the only team in my (half ppr/5pt passing TD) league that has broken 100 so far. Two other teams could do it. One needs 8 points from Aaron Jones and the other needs about 20 from Jefferson.
September 8Sep 8 Cook not scoring on that long screen will probably cost me in our old Shag league, but my whole team sucked, so I deserve it.
September 9Sep 9 Came from behind to win/survive in two leagues, held on in another tonight. Lucky as shit.

September 9Sep 9 last second reception and yac by Rome Odunze, before he lateraled, got me a win by .02 points. app said i lost at 0:00 then recalc'd about 10 minutes later. twas amazing shit-talking at midnight. Edited September 9Sep 9 by Slacks

A Glenn will see what we saw and try to take him away to see if Allen trusts everyone else. BUF will probably be up and not need to throw to come back. I've talked myself out of it.
September 11Sep 11 4 leagues, Jayden Reed is my only guy going tonight. And that's in a deep fucking league.

September 12Sep 12 Love must be pissed at Golden to blow two TDs in the first half. Stop talking about Love wanting to spread the field. He hasn’t show the arm
