One of my all time favorite Phillies. I thought I had lost this a while back, just found it while getting some books ready to donate, inside one. Think I'll get it framed when this mess is over.

Autographed Dutch photo

12 man ppr with a WR/TE flex instead of TE. My current back up QB is Eli Manning, WR/TE Cobb and Marshall, and the only RB I have is J Charles. Worth it? Sproles is the main reason for this trade.

Given how much debate there was over how to assess Pitts's potential this summer and into the season, including my own, I felt looking back today to see where things landed.

And if you insisted Kyle Pitts would have the greatest rookie TE season of all time, in 1.0 PPR you were right and in standard, pretty close. This chart covers 1990-present:

But if you insisted Kyle Pitts wasn't worth drafting before the 5th/6th rounds at best, and certainly not in round 4 (or higher), you were also right. Let's start with this chart of the top 20 TEs in 2021, sorted by PPR:

Here are some of the movies I'm hoping to watch in 2022. I'll consistently update the list with more movies, updated release dates and new trailer links for easy access. Each movie's IMDb page is also linked. I'm going to pin this to my profile page for my own convenience and anyone else that wants to follow up for recommendations on upcoming movies.

 

Movies are listed in order of US release dates if available (wide theatrical or VOD/streaming), the rest are listed randomly. I'm not 100% sure they'll all be released in 2022, but will update accordingly if needed. As it is, a few of these are carry-overs/delays from 2021 and 2020.

Let me know of any others that look interesting, thanks.

I don’t really have a reason to be looking at names but my boyfriend and I have been just playing around with names. He really wants to keep up with his family’s trend of first names starting with a D. I basically have a girl name we agree on if you e ever have kids but I can’t find a boy name that we really enjoy. Any ideas??

We all spend a lot of time debating on here over preseason rankings and outlooks for months on end. Well, all of that kind of gets thrown out the window once the season starts. But how accurate were the rankings this year? Below, you can see the current Top 10 for each position in terms of average points. In bold will be their preseason rankings.

At the end of each list, I listed which players who were top 10 plays in the preseason did not make the cut (all data according to fantasypros). An asterisk is given for those who would have qualified with their production but did not play enough (I made the cutoff at 70% of games played or more which is 11/15). Comment or discuss below on your thoughts and takeaways!

Hi Everyone,

I have been looking for mock drafts for startups next year and had trouble finding a good resource so I did my own. It is obviously flawed based on not knowing how FA will play out and does not include incoming rookies. I am looking to just discuss a general ranking for startups.

The format Is SF Full PPR. (QB, RB, RB, WR, WR, WR, Flex). I drafted 11 rounds and then ran out of players. Who did I miss?

Questions I am looking to find more information about.

1. Which players stand out as way too high and way too low?
2. Where should the top 10 QB’s be going in startups?
3. The draft value of players such as Michael Thomas, Deandre Hopkins, Calvin Ridley?
4. Looking Ahead who are some of your favorite players to target in a startup?
5. What does your first Rd. look like?

Suggested FAAB: 10%

Carr was one of my favorite stashes back around his Week 8 bye, and for this exact moment. However, he may have become available in your league due to Week 11’s stinker. After rebounding against the Cowboys on Thanksgiving, Carr will bring some momentum into the best possible matchup for a fantasy QB. Carr and the Raiders will play host to the Washington Football Team, who have given up the most points to opposing QBs in 2021. The one thing that has been missing for Carr as of late has been his touchdown passes; he started off the year by throwing multiple TDs in 6-of-7 games, but since the Week 8 bye, he has only thrown multiple TDs in 1-of-4 games. This is likely to change in Week 13, as Washington’s defense has allowed the 2nd-most passing TDs (24) in 2021. As a cherry on top, Carr gets another great matchup in the following week, in a trip to visit the Chiefs. For any Rodgers owners needing a replacement with legitimate upside, Carr is a great option.

Suggested FAAB: 3%

A much more attainable waiver target for deeper leagues, Jones strikes me as the guy with the highest ceiling out of the widely available options. The Giants will travel to face the Dolphins, who have allowed the 6th-most fantasy points to opposing QBs. They’ve also allowed the most passing yards in the entire le

This is his 4th week in a row with a TD and 3rd 10+ point performance in a row. At this point is it fair to say that he's a top 5-6 TE ROS? Obviously he doesn't have the elite target volume like the guys above him, but I think it's quite possible that he might have already ascended into the 2nd tier of Tight Ends due to his role in the high-powered Bills offense.

My personal tight end rankings right now:

TIER 1:

Travis Kelce

Darren Waller

TIER 2:

TJ Hockenson (edit: moved him down from t1)

Kyle Pitts

Mark Andrews

Dawson Knox (?)

Gronk when healthy (might be a similar argument for Gronk in the Bucs offense but he's hurt rn)

TIER 3:

Dalton Schultz (honestly flew under my radar, might be pushing tier 2 if not competing too much with Blake Jarwin for targets)

Tyler Higbee

Noah Fant

Mike Gesicki

I might be overly optimistic throwing him in Tier 2 but I believe he's a step above all of the Tier 3 tight ends right now. The Buffalo Bills live in the red zone and although Knox isn't getting a ton of targets, the value of his targets is significantly higher than the other tight ends in his range. 5 TDs in the first 5 weeks isn't just a fluke, but rather a product of an abundance of scoring opportunities from the Bills offense. Diggs and Sanders also draw heavy coverage on the outside leaving large spaces for Knox in the middle of the field to run after catch, increasing his target value. Today against the Chiefs he showed big play potential, with 3 large chunk plays resulting in 39 yards per reception today.

We all know that outside the top tier, tight ends are extremely TD dependent. Through 5 weeks, Dawson Knox has proven to be a more reliable TD threat than other TEs in his range while also showing potential for larger chunk plays in this Bills offense. If these recent trends continue for him there's a really good chance he ends the season as a top 5 TE in scoring.

Here is my pick for the all AFC-West team. 53 Players 3-4 Defense because I know that better.

HC: Andy Reid

OC: Eric Bienimy

DC: Vic Fangio

ST: Rich Bisaccia

QB: Patrick Mahomes, Justin Herbert

RB: Javonte Williams, Austin Ekeler, Melvin Gordon, Clyde Edwards-Helaire

TE: Travis Kelce, Darren Waller, Jared Cook

LG: Joe Thuney, Dalton Risner

C: Creed Humphrey

RG: Trey Smith, Corey Linsley

RT: Kolton Miller, Matt Feiler

Defense

DE: Chris Jones, DreMont Jones, Shelby Harris, Quinton Jefferson

NT: Jerry Tillery, Jarran Reed

LOLB: Joey Bosa, Maxx Crosby

ILB: Kyzir White, Drue Tranquill, Denzel Perryman

ROLB: Yannick Ngakoue, Frank Clark, Uchenna Nwosu

CB: Casey Hayward, Ronald Darby, Chris Harris Jr. Pat Surtain II, Charvarius Ward, Asante Samuel Jr.

FS: Justin Simmons, Trevon Moehrig

SS: Tyrann Mathieu, Derwin James, Johnathan Abram

K: Daniel Carlson

P: AJ Cole

LS: Casey Kreiter

KR: Byron Pringle

Is anyone else looking at the tight end wasteland that is weeks 7 & 8 and making moves around it? Nearly every team is a top tier TE. This seems to be the most important time to try to cover for your TE position. Not finding a backup before the demand hits will end up being costly FAAB/wavier wise after this week.

TEs on bye this week:

49ers (would be Kittle)
Atlanta Falcons: Kyle Pitts
Non issue: Jets/Saints

TEs on bye in week 7:

Buffalo Bills: Dawson Knox
Dallas Cowboys: Dalton Schultz
Jacksonville Jaguars: Dan Arnold
Los Angeles Chargers: Jared Cook
Minnesota Vikings: Tyler Conklin
Non-issue: Steelers - Eric Ebron

TEs on bye in week 8:

Las Vegas Raiders: Darren Waller
Baltimore Ravens: Mark Andrews

TEs on bye in week 9:

Detroit Lions: TJ Hockinson
Tampa Bay Buccaneers: Rob Gronkowski (ribs)
Washington Football Team: Logan Thomas (IR)
Non-issue: Seahawks

Add to this major Injuries:

San Francisco 49ers: George Kittle (calf)

Week 3 Waivers - By Position

HUGE thanks to u/MellyMell86 and u/nomab for clipping Field Yates shouting me out on ESPN so I could see it! Made my day!!!

QB

Justin Fields - Chicago Bears

Suggested FAAB: 20%

| Every Justin Fields Play Weeks 1+2 |

If you're in a sharp league, odds are that Fields has been owned since your fantasy draft. However, he's still only owned in about 50% of ESPN and Yahoo! leagues, so there's a chance that even in sharp leagues, shallow benches could have made it simply too hard to roster a bench QB. If that's the case in your league, it's time to pounce on Fields. Andy Dalton is likely to miss Week 3 with a bone bruise in his knee, and if he ends up missing the next 2 weeks, I think that the Fields era in Chicago will have officially begun. Sure, HC Matt Nagy released a statement through Bears PR that Dalton is the starter when healthy, but we've seen placeholder QBs remain "injured" for quite a bit longer than their initial recovery prognosis would have suggested. Assuming Fields plays the next two games, he theoretically has a tough matchup on the immediate horizon when the Bears travel to Cleveland, but he has a dream matchup at home against the Lions in Week 4. While he is definitely not coming off of a great Week 2 performance, his struggles are a bit overblown, and I think he could find enough success in one or both of his upcoming matchups to force the HC's hand. In terms of his performance against the Bengals, Fields looked good for a rookie coming in on short notice, although his one major mistake was admittedly horrendous. The interception he threw looked as though he forgot what colors his team was wearing, because there's just no way he didn't see the linebacker standing directly in the path of the throw. Aside from that one glaring blemish, Fields was accurate in his throwing and decisive in his running, and his statline betrays how well he played. I counted 3 drops on perfect passes into the endzone, as well as 2 other times where the receivers failed to hold up their end of the bargain on great deep passes (Mooney had a bad game). Also, his rushing statline is skewed by 3 kneel-downs to end the game, as well as being credited with a rush for negative yards when he recovered his own fumble. When he actually ran the ball, he looked great (6YPC), and he was one toe-skimming-the-sideline away from logging a rushing TD in back-to-back games. Which brings

#Top 50 RB

Javonte William

Terry McLaurin is everyone's favourite WR and is being hyped by many as a top-5 breakout WR this season for the Washington football team. However, I believe he has a ridiculously high ADP given his situation and track record. For some reason, McLaurin has a huge fanbase so I expect to get some heat for this post but here it goes.

Let's look at McLaurin's ADP on various sites: (HPPR Format)

ESPN: 28 Overall, WR10

Yahoo: 28 Overall, WR10

Sleeper: 30 Overall, WR10

Fantasy Pros Average: 32 Overall, WR10

As we can see, McLaurin is being taken as WR10 on all the main sites and at around pick 30, meaning you are investing a third round pick and passing on proven high end WR2 or WR1 talents like Keenan Allen, Robert Woods, Kupp, Cooper, Allen Robinson, Mike Evans or Julio Jones as well as players with breakout potential like Ceedee Lamb and Justin Jefferson. Additionally, at other positions you may be passing on RB2s such as DeAndre Swift and Chris Carson; elite TEs such as Darren Waller and George Kittle; or the unquestioned QB1 Patrick Mahomes. The opportunity cost for selecting McLaurin at his ADP his high.

What is more, we are seeing many people taking him not only above the aforementioned receivers but also guys like AJ Brown or Justin Jefferson. Notably, before Michael Thomas's injury he was also being selected before the former WR1 overall.

I believe at this going rate, McLaurin is greatly overpriced and is just screaming towards disappointment.

Past Production:

These past two seasons, McLaurin has posted good numbers of:

McLaurin’s 2020 (15 games): 134 targets, 87 receptions, 1,118 yards 4 TD

McLaurin’s 2019 (14 games): 93 targets, 58 receptions, 919 yards, 7 TD

These seasons both produced respectable finishes of WR20 and WR29.

The arguments for and against McLaurin (at his ADP):

McLaurin is currently being drafted above his previous finish, and for good reason. However, I think it has gone to far and he should be drafted close to the backend of the third or beginning of the fourth, rather than near the end of the second round. Here are the common arguments and my rebuttals to them regarding McLaurin:

>Terry McLaurin is an elite talent at the WR position! His talent just pops off the screen.

There is no argument against this; McLaurin absolutely is one of the most talented wide receivers in the league. However, guys like Allen Robinson ([ranked as the fourth best WR by PFF going into 2022](https://www.pff.com/news/nfl-wide-

I don't want to step on anybody's toes here, but the amount of non-dad jokes here in this subreddit really annoys me. First of all, dad jokes CAN be NSFW, it clearly says so in the sub rules. Secondly, it doesn't automatically make it a dad joke if it's from a conversation between you and your child. Most importantly, the jokes that your CHILDREN tell YOU are not dad jokes. The point of a dad joke is that it's so cheesy only a dad who's trying to be funny would make such a joke. That's it. They are stupid plays on words, lame puns and so on. There has to be a clever pun or wordplay for it to be considered a dad joke.

Again, to all the fellow dads, I apologise if I'm sounding too harsh. But I just needed to get it off my chest.

Hey all,

So, largely because I'm struggling at TE I decided to take stats based look at what's going on with the position and see if anything jumps out at me for Waivers or potentially trades. So without further adieu....

1) Only 4 Players have been targeted 20 times or more

If you are a fan of targets = Fantasy Points then you'd probably be right as the top 4 guys currently (Kelce, Gronk, Hock, Waller) are the only ones currently sitting with more than 20 targets. Only 2 players in the top 12 currently have fewer than 15 targets - Dawson Knox and Tyler Higbee. Higbee is a bit of a surprise given his QB upgrade and Everett being shipped off to Seattle.

If you are looking for waiver pickups and are considering volume as your primary decision making metric then there are 2 players inside the top 10 (PPR) with 15 of more targets - Dalton Schultz (14 of 15) and Tyler Conklin (13 of 16). Schultz is currently rostered in all of 2.8% of leagues and Conklin in 3.3%.

Outside of the top 10 there are options in Gesicki (21 targets), Jared Cook (16 targets) or Jonnu Smith (16 targets). However all of these are already owned in the majority of leagues so you may need to look at other options if these guys are not available.

2) Only 2 players have passed 200 yards

Yardage appears to be a poor stat for TE's. Only Travis Kelce and Darren Waller have passed this benchmark through 3 games. 4 of the top 10 players have not even reached 150 yards as of yet. In fact the difference between Kelce and the rest is so stark that the average % of yards gained by the other 9 players in the current top 10 TEs is just 55% of Kelce's yardage total per game. In fact Kelce is the WR7 in terms of yardage right now.

In terms of Yards per reception only 1 player in the 24 TE's has less than 9.2 yards - Austin Hooper. The majority of players cluster around the 9-11 yard range with standouts above this being Kelce (14.5), Andrews (14.4) and your leader Dallas Goedert (16.5).

Unfortunately I can't find good Air Yards data currently. However through weeks 1 and 2 Kelce was actually 9th at the position in this statistic (Waller leading). Instead he is a YAC monster, averaging over 50 yards per game in Yards After Catch. Only 2 other players had even half of that total - Kittle and TJ Hockenson.

3) TDs are king

Only 2 players have 0 TDs through 3 weeks. Surprisingly these are Mark Andrews and George Kittle. TDs are so important to Tight End scoring that only 8 of the top 24

Just a summary of some of the leaders in "bad" stats from various positions cause why not.

Hey guys, so lots have been said about the playoff program and while I did have my comments as well, I think I'll just leave it as EA couldn't have tried harder to mess this up if they simply didn't release a program in the first place. At least then we wouldn't be left with the travesty of what we got instead.

Now I will say the ToTY nominees are just batshit and clearly EA is picking names out of a hat that like Stephen A. Smith gave them because "he's a smart guy." Honestly the guys were solely based off name recognition. I mean how else can they justify Armstead at LT (8 games all year) Boles (who was the definition of average and ranked lower than Jonah Williams according to PFF) Norwell who was a turnstile or Bulaga who didn't even fucking play this year? It's insane who they chose and an insult to actual good linemen.

ToTY should have gone this way:

• LT- Trent Williams. Simply a historic year for Trent, there was no better offensive lineman in the league this year
• LG- Bitonio- Yes we got a ltd version but it should have been a ToTY. He was the best LG in football and frankly his run block should equal his pass block. What EA doesn't realize is that the Browns scheme is heavily reliant not on the pulling guard in Teller, but more on the guy who allows Teller to be successful and that is Bitonio. See on those pulls Bitonio essentially has the more difficult task of a seal block in order to free up the opposite puller. If you think about it like the puller is going through a door and needs to connect with the defender outside of it, Bitonio is the one who needs to open that door. If it's closed because he doesn't hold the outside blocker off and seal that edge then it doesn't matter what the puller does. That's why the responsibility goes to Bitonio.
• C- Creed Humphrey- Best center in the league and the guy on draft night last year I was screaming for the Ravens to get. Oklahoma has produced some good to great linemen over the years so when you're the best in that room that's saying something. It's why it wasn't a shock to see Chase do so well this year. When you're on a squad with Justin Jefferson and Terrance Marshall and you're clearly the better WR then you know you're the top guy. Same for Creed.
• RG- Zack Martin- Well he's a big name so EA got it right I suppose. As they say a broken clock is right twice a day.
• RT-Tom Compton- There's a reason why the run game in SF was so good this year, and frankly most years. Compton was who E

On paper Wycheck with a 95 run block should be the best blocking TE right? He certainly is the most balanced but let's dive into what he does exceptionally well.

1. He will have the highest awareness and blocking rating of any current TE. This will translate into the fact that he will not miss his blocks in the open field.
2. He has enough speed, size and receiving traits to make the most of one on one opportunities especially if your opponent keys in on run. The quick passes to the flat, corner routes and attacking the middle of the field in the short to mid range makes him more valuable than pure run blockers in keeping your opponent honest.

But now what he doesn't do well, namely his speed is lacking to make your opponent really worry about getting burned deep. That's just not how he was built, so really you're looking at a better blocker than Gronk with a little more speed at a higher price tag. Don't get me wrong he's better than Gronk or Kittle in this role but for the cost compared to those cards, will be extremely overpriced when you can get MF Gronk right now for 170K or less. Moreover as you'll see, he's not the absolute best blocker and when compared to the two others near him (Watt and Tomlinson) who only cost about 37K it makes for an even bigger reason not to pick this card up unless you run a WFT or Titans TT.

Early-Season Trade Targets

QB:

Right now: Trey Lance

Trey Lance is the prototypical league-winning fantasy QB. He has the legs, he has the elite offense around him, and he has the super low rankings and ADP that lets him sit on the fantasy bench while he’s sitting on the real-life bench. The only reason he’s being ranked so low by all of the fantasy experts is because nobody has any idea how many games Lance will play in 2021. Fantasy experts want their rankings to be as close to the year-end statlines as possible for their own accuracy purposes, because nowadays the industry is so saturated with experts that the average person looks to accuracy rankings to see which experts they should be listening to. So keeping that in mind, if a QB doesn’t play all 16 games, especially a rookie QB, you’re basically guaranteed to have an inaccurate ranking of them if they’re high up in your rankings, which is why Lance is being ranked as the QB21 in aggregate rankings of all the platforms, with some platforms listing him as low as QB29. That being said, I guarantee you that those same experts ranking him so low want Lance on all of their fantasy teams. If you’re going to roster multiple QBs in a single QB league, there’s really no point in holding a guy with a low ceiling, because those guys are a dime a dozen on the waiver wire. Who cares if you have the guy that finishes as QB14 on your bench? All season, QB12 and 13 were both sitting on the waivers. You want someone like Lance, who might ride the 49ers bench for a good part of the season, but when he gets in the game he has that legit chance to explode. He has the elite running talent, his supporting cast of teammates and coaches give him a great chance at success, and we already know that he’s the future of this team. They spent how many 1st round picks to get him in the draft? So Lance is a guy that could absolutely be a league-winner down the stretch in 2021, even if his season-totals won’t reflect that. With how hard it can be in a lot of leagues to use a valuable bench spot on a guy who isn’t even playing yet, there’s a good chance that the Lance owner is looking for ways to free up space on his roster, and you should 100% be sending offers to try and get him on your team. I would try to get it done by offering a 1-for-1 deal with Lance thrown in, where you give the other team an upgrade at a position. If that team i
