cause I'm an idiot in short terms but actually because the Philly defense has given up the 3rd least amount of fantasy league points to RB, and I have White and Conner with favorable match ups, so I thought Philly would stiffle Barkley.
That's as dumb as picking a RB at #2 overall. Are you sure you're not Dave Gettleman?
it's almost as bad as me benching OBJ last week and starting him this week
Good to get the win but alarm bells would have been ringing if we hadn't beat this Giants team. Barkley is great but their decision to take him over a quarter back looks worse every week.
If you don't have a quarterback in this day and age then you won't be competitive. I couldn't believe the Giants decision at the time not to take a quarterback in the draft and like you say this is only exacerbated each week. Barkley is quality but with Eli at the helm his pick was always going to be a luxury one at best.
Ah. Another Manchester United fan crashes out from the woodwork like a bemused koala that has taken three hits of crystal meth.
I mean, damn, that is a stacked RB group you've got there, but still. Like you said you should've put him in and flexed one of the others, Saquon is a monster he has to start every game at this point.
Maybe the group, led by your leadership, will see these drafts as PR functions and brilliant use of humor
Hey Claus, fuck off.
He should be trading some RBs so the rest of us can have a good one.
Mate it's not in our league, in our league here I have jack squat
deFacto looking at OBJ throwing for a TD last week and then remembering...
Haha I was a little surprised but with 20 teams I can never remember who anyone is apart from Rob who has 19 good RBs.
remind me next season not to do 20 league teams I have no idea how some of the lads on here are undefeated
If you do, do 20 teams then split them into 2 leagues of 10, with both leagues having there own draft, then have usual playoffs but own super bowl with the best team from both leagues.
🤣My wide receiver corps is a total dumpster fire mind.
That's a great idea, why didn't you come up with this earlier???

I'm still not convinced the Jets have their quarterback for the next decade or more. Darnold was a turnover machine in college and I don't see that changing much in the NFL. Giants surely have to take Justin Herbert in the '19 draft right?
Picking Barkley was the best choice but now still being shit, it’s sureky a given they’ll get Herbert.
IT'S TURNING LEFT!
The issue with that is that he'll probably need a few seasons to develop and by the time he does, Beckham will be beyond his peak, and even Barkley could be near it given that RBs usually peak early.It's crazy how picking such a fantastic player can be a pretty bad choice.
But once Mayfield went, I think Barkley was worth picking then. I honestly think Mayfield was there top choice.
Looks like Bengals-Steelers is the game to watch?
Yep, if nothing else there'll be some fun penalties.
Carr is so frustrating to watch even as a neutral
