101 Targets. 77 Receptions. 953 Yards. 13 TDs.
These are the numbers that opposing Tight Ends have put up against the Arizona Cardinals through 12 games this season.
Translating to a 16 game projection, that equals 102 Receptions, 1,270 yards and 17.33 TDs or 281.98 .5PPR Fantasy points. That is 2 points better than Rob Gronkowski's 2011, the greatest season from a fantasy Tight End ever (granted, these stats include all opposing tight ends rather than just the TE 1, so Gronk still stands alone). The Cardinals D has allowed 38 offensive touchdowns this year, meaning that over 1/3 of the touchdowns they allow come from the TE position.
Before we look forward on how to capitalize on this in your fantasy playoffs, let us look back on the TE performances that got us here:

Only 2 weeks all season has a team failed to provide an individual performance of at least 10.3 PPR points. One week was from an injured Jared Cook (Whose backups provided nearly 9 points). Leaving the only true outlier performance as Tyler Eifert and CJ Uzomah who disappointed despite a nice game from Andy Dalton.
To make this actionable - the Cardinals face the Steelers next week, the Browns in week 15, and the Seahawks in week 16. In my opinion Vance McDonald is not only a must grab if available for those who need help at TE but he is also a startable option at flex in all formats. For week 15 it will be worth monitoring whether Njoku is activated off the IR, otherwise it is tough to trust Demetrius Harris given that he has not excee
... keep reading on reddit ➡honestly, and dont hate me on this i feel like feast or famine is my favourite map and i never get to play it because of the map rotation always being the same. i only play on 3 days, and in those 3 days the maps ( for showdown, if you dont count the 4th event slot) will always be cavern churn, double trouble, and rockwall brawl ( possibly the 3 most specific brawler biased maps, CAVERN CHURN: throwers, shotgunners, rico, DOUBLE TROUBLE: brock, piper, colt, rico , ROCKWALL BRAWL: THROWER PARADISE) those 3 maps arent fun at all since there isnt much diversity. however in feast or famine, you could basically use every brawler in there ( except maybe throwers) theres close ranged brawlers who dominate the mid, long range brawlers who are decent due to a somewhat open area. its balanced. I know this is gonna get hated on badly so fire away people, id like to see your retorts

But I've got WAY too much on my plate right now, so I desserted the idea.
Here are the main attributes I love about these two songs;
- multilayered vocal harmony (this is the main thing)
- very major key, almost ecstatic feel (both lyrics and music)
- big, synthy, airy, buzzy feel
- highly melodic, huge chorus
- female vocalist (? not sure how important that is)
Hi there everyone. My party is about to get to Vallaki and the resources I'm looking at to help build my version of Vallaki are mainly in two camps. 1) have the feast happen before or just after the festival because strahd set everything up months ago and it's convenient now vs. 2) have the feast happen a week or so after the party arrives, occurring days after the festival as Ludmilla sets things up once she realizes Ireena is in town.
I was wondering if anyone had advice / stories for how things went with the feast occuring before the festival vs after the festival. There's a lot going on in Vallaki and I'm worried about throwing too much at the players right off the bat, but I also really like the idea of the feast creating incredible unrest just before the festival, turning everything on its head as Strahd strolls into Vallaki for the first time in a century.
I appreciate anything you can give me!
TLDR: I have suffered from depression and grief in my early adulthood and reading Feast and Dance helped get me out of it. This is a late Thanksgiving post.
I picked up this series in summer 2007 on a family trip, finishing Game that summer, despite the ending being wrong (Ned should have lived, he's the main character!). My library didn't have the rest of the books, so I moved on with my life.
Then on Thanksgiving, my grandmother passed away. Six months later, my grandpa. They both raised me so the pain of it was incomprehensible. By March 2011, All four of my grandparents were gone and I was in a depression that was so deep that I didn't leave my room for 6 months, and it involved the total loss of my social, academic, and professional life. During that time, a friend told me about an HBO show called Game of Thrones that I might like because I was into medieval fantasy. I remembered the book with the bad ending from earlier and gave it a watch, finished the whole thing in a weekend, and then read all the books. My reading pace is relatively slow so by the time I got to it, Dance was already out. The books give me the family that I had lost: thousands of people to replace four.
While the first three books were bombastic romps full of sword fights, war, and betrayal, the next two were different animals. I found myself reading about characters who were dealing with the same issues that I was dealing with: death, grief, depression, and coping with a world that didn't care. As I made my way through Feast and Dance I fell in love with Jaime as he was adapting to a new role he was not ready for and cried with Tyrion as he was coping with the loss(rejection) of everything held dear to him and not wanting to be alive but unwilling to commit suicide either.
Both of the books spend so much time concerned with what happens next, how loss affects people, and, and how people pull themselves together after tragedy. Martin does a really good job diving deep into those feelings and emotions, pulling no punches. It shows how mercilessly the world moves on and you have no choice but to move on with it, even if you're not ready, even if you haven't processed your emotions.
That's why for me, Feast and Dance are much better books than the Game, Clash, and Storm. The former three may be more fun, but the latter two are more real.
This was meant to be a Thanksgiving post. I am extremely thankful to have found these books. There's a nonzero cha

OMG you guys… What a beautifully made show. I must admit that I didn’t want to watch at first. Something about an older woman and a younger man falling in love just didn’t feel interesting enough, but oh was I wrong. There are many different reasons to watch this show and I encourage you to give it a try just like I did. Here are the top reasons for me:
- Park Bo Gum - He did an absolutely beautiful job as the ML. At first I wasn’t quite sure about him as someone who can pull off a character who is capable of capturing an older woman’s heart with his boyish looks and innocent vibe, but he KILLED it. His warm smile and expressive eyes gave his character maturity that I didn’t really expect. Yes, he’s younger, but he’s also a well rounded adult that is responsible, understanding and mature that at times it seamed that he’s actually older than her.
- Cinematography - in a word WOW. It kind of reminded me the cinematography in ‘it’s okay to not be okay’ and ‘lovestruck in the city’ which are two of my favourite shows cinematography wise (and otherwise). It’s one of these shows that it doesn’t matter where you pause, You will get a beautifully framed shot that looks like a masterful photograph, ready to be put in an art gallery. It’s as if there is not a single second that is not thought through to the very last detail.
- I love a show that is character driven. It gives us an opportunity to really get to know the characters and watch as their relationship grows and takes form. The plot is there to serve the characters and not the other way around.
- The relationship is very mature. No manhandling, no hysteria, there’s plenty of space for the leads to grow into the relationship in a very organic realistic manner. The skinship feels very natural (and not infantile). I was actually surprised that they were able to bring this chemistry.
- Very good and not overbearing OST that complimented the cinematic artistry without being distracting.
Sure, it wasn’t a perfect show. There were some details that I would have changed, but all in all I 100% recommend it to anyone who likes a character driven slow burn romance.
P.S - Song Hye Kyo is drop dead gorgeous. I mean wow. What a beautiful beautiful woman she is. Yea, she’s older, but it’s not hard to believe that a younger man would fall for her even if it’s just based on her looks :)
Whenever I declutter I find I have an abundance of earbuds, nail clippers, and sunglasses, but in my daily life, I am lucky to find one of the above items when I need them.
What are the feast or famine items in your household?
Each day for the feast, the food changes (all is 10/10)
The banquet is 12 hours and it’s every food you can think of.
