    Good stuff Tim, you worked hard on that one.
    Dodi Dozen America's Team
    Fri Sep 5 4:30pm CT
    1) Boston Crabs-Kyler Murray is an enigma, several years removed from ACL he should be running more but last year he didn't. He sald he is going to run more this year, they have an easy schedule, should be solid. Rattler as backup, let's move on.
    Saguon will be a force, will last year's workload come up and bite him, most experts think so. CMC will be awesome until the inevitable happens. Enjoy it while you can.
    Scary backfield. Backups stink, not good. Mike Evans just keeps chugging along, no reason to think that won't continue with Godwin banged up. Stefon Diggs is best option for Drake Maye. Kupp may have a dead cat bounce in him. Evan Engram will fit in nicely in Denver, 2* best option for Bo Nic. Wo can't predict injuries, anyone can get hurt. While this team is healthy it will be a force, if one of the RBs goes
    down, stinko.
    2) Dino's Big Dogs-| like Drake Maye, he really came on late last year, nice year ahead with his rushing floor. Mccarthy is set up to succeed, good coach, good weapons, good OL, just don't mess it up, should be underrated. Bucky is a beast, no issues there. Kamara is a crusty veteran, should catch a lot of dumpoffs early, worried later in year when team is 1-10 what they do. Justice Hill will catch a few balls, Dowdle stinks. Tee Higgins will lead the WR room, big year incoming. Devonta Smith is a good player, will provide some good weeks with a few duds, too inconsistent for me. Addison, Mooney and Pittman are solid bye week/fill ins.
    Bowers at TE will be big, 90 catches, 1100 yds, 8 TDs.
    3) Disciples of Dime Store-Hurts is easy money, whether throwing or running. Jahmyr Gibbs, wow, monster year coming. Jaylen Warren should catch a lot of dumpoffs from statue Aaron Rodgers. I like Tyjae once he gets healthy to really eat into Pollard's workload. Allgeier is a league winner if something happens to Bijan. C.
    Sutton was money 2~ half last year once Nix started to cook. More of the same to follow. Not a Debo fan anymore, kinda pudgy. I would play Jeudy, think Flacco will be good for him. Slayton sucko. George Kittle will be a top TE for as long as he is healthy as SF is lacking the WR depth they used to have.
    4) Dodi Dozen-Fields is gonna make me crazy but should put up decent fantasy points with his rushing, but might be hard to watch at times. Caleb Williams should have a 2~ year bump, Ben Johnson should help. Think Treveyon will be big hit in New England, has a nice burst and can catch. Omarion will be good but Najee may steal a few more touches than I would like. Pump the brakes a bit. Ollie Gordon is lurking
    as a possible option with Achane somewhat dinged up, think Jaydon Blue carves out a nice little role in the shitty Dallas backfield. WR room is loaded. Brian Thomas should have a big year in that crappy division. Pickens is ready to roll and Pearsall should be Purdy's boy. Tyler Warren could be a top 5 TE, let's not expect a Bowers year, but a pretty good one.
    5) Hammerheads-Dak is gonna air it out, a lot. Running game stinks and defense may too. If it's ever gonna happen for Trevor Lawrence this is the year, sneaky. No reason to think Derrick Henry doesn't have a big year, just what he does. Chuba is underrated and so is Carolina, nice one. Chubb provides a 3r starting RB to begin the year. Braelon Allen is better than Breece. Davante Adams should start to slow down and for first time should be #2 option on his team, but should have good year.
    Tet Mcmillan is young and exciting. good 2n WR. Mims will have a big week once a month. At TE I like Fergie to have a good season as well as old man Ertz.
    6) Vex Jets-| like Hebert more than most, he was good 2n half of last year, I expect more of the same, Rodgers will be inconsistent, the end is near and Arthur Smith.
    Josh Jacobs is solid, good team good line, lotsa yards in 2° half when leading.
    Having both Seattle Rbs is good but you really need an injury, when both healthy both are going to play. Walker will be good but always has a foot issue. Bigsby will get some run, I expect Jags to trade a Rb which will help him. I like Ladd McConkey, really good player, big year coming. DK is only show in town and Arodg likes to pepper his main target, big value. Josh Downs will have some big weeks and some awful ones. Hopkinface and Thielen are shot. Mark Andrews was saved by scoring
    11 TDs last year, don't see that again, when Likely is healthy he will be middling option. Gesicki in sneaky pick in loaded Bengals offense.
    7) The Dark Knights-Solid at Qb, Shanahan will have Purdy slinging it around and if
    CMC stays healthy those dumpoffs will go places. J. Love in for a bounceback, was hurt last year, GB will pass more this year. Ashton Jeanty, called him a bust before NFL draft, let's double down here. Seems a bit clunky, like an old Buick. Not gonna be running against Nevada every game, or some crackerasses who grew up on a ranch in Wyoming. Volume will keep him afloat. Pacheco, last year a $6 player, breaks his leg, now a $3.50, might be some value here. Andy Reid seems intent on mixing in fat Kareem Hunt and Brashard Smith capping his ceiling. Love the WR group, Amon-Ra is a monster, Jameson Williams gonna be more involved. Egbuka is exciting and put up good numbers, if/when Evans misses a game or 3 he is really gonna shine. Watch out for Cedric Tillman, Flacco is like Winston, takes a lot of shots, good fit for Cedric. Shaheed and Burden not feeling it. Tucker Kraft is gonna be a breakout, his metrics were off the charts last year, Kittle-like, a little more volume, look out.
    8) The Bungles-Joe Burrow is gonna break records this year. Good depth with Stafford and Tua. Bijan is a beast. Tyrone Tracy is underrated. Might lose some to Skatebo later In the year. Jerome Ford provides solid 3rd option to stat the year, will lose carries to younger guys later in year. Calvin Ridley should get a lot of volume but a rookie QB is gonna have some ups and downs, not everyone gets a Jayden Daniels first year. Waddle might be the safest option in Miami, Achane dinged a bit, so it Tyreek. Keon Coleman and Matthew Golden are exciting youngsters with a lot of upside. Goedert at TE is ok, Philly doesn't throw enough. Jonnu will fight with Freieirmuth for looks.
    9) Nibe's Commanders-Bo Nix, love it, big year. Kyren Williams is solid, Mcvay usually comes up with a good offense. I like Jordan Mason a lot, he has some juice and A.
    Jones should hit the wall. Would prefer him as my #3 to start the year though, not my #2. Judkins who knows, not expecting much if he signs. Skatebo may steal some work later in the year. Puka is Stafford's favorite target, Davante will steal some but in for a nice year. JSN is the main show in Seattle, just a bit concerned with Darnold's late season fade and was he a product of the QB whisperer Kevin O'connell? Travis Hunter will have some splash plays, think he will be inconsistent though being a rookie and playing some CB. Not expecting much from Godwin this year. Demario could surprise, think Maye is ready to breakout, could be sneaky PPR gold. Not expecting Teslaa to be electric. I like Loveland, sneaky breakout candidate. Likely is talented too, they will get him touches.
    10) Hurt Box-Jared Goff may regress some this year, more outdoor games, no Ben Johnson. Cam Ward still has a lot to learn. Swift should have big year in Chicago, Gibbs-lite? RJ Harvey will have the pass catching RB role in a Sean Payton offense, that's good, but Dobbins is no pushover and will grind out when leading. James Conner is solid veteran but will lose more than you want to Trey Benson this year, watch out for the RB age cliff coming. Al Brown has solid floor, upside is capped by Eagles leading most games and running out clock. Odunze is wildcard, will have boom and bust games, too many mouths to feed. Christian Kirk is a jerkface. Trey Mcbride in store for his best year yet, TDs incoming this year.
    11) Baloney and Cheese-Josh Allen keeps rolling along, another big year in store. Devon Achane leads the backfield, a bit scary with his calf injury. I am going to assume Travis Etienne leads the Jags backfield to start the year, after that is anyone's guess, exciting Tuten could factor in later. This could be a mess along with Bigsby. Bill Croskey is generating a lot of buzz, they still have Ekeler and Chris Rodriguez is going to get the ball too, Jayden gonna steal some rush TDs, let's pump the brakes a bit. I like Dylan Sampson to get some run in Cleveland. WRs I see a bunch of #2 WRs, maybe Marvin Harrison can take the next jump up into #1 territory. DJ Moore has too much competition for touches. Xavier Worthy will be inconsistent with Rashee around, but while Rice is suspended he will be a force. I like LaPorta to get back closer to his rookie year this year, nice bounceback, Hunter Henry is solid.
    12) Lucky Bastards-Will Baker repeat last year's performance, it's called a career year folks, nope. Sam Darnold is unexciting depth. James Cook leads the backfield, no issues there, will lose some to Uncle Ray and shitty Ty Johnson. Rest of RBs give me heartburn. Ekeler is a role player and is old. Do you want to start both James Cook and Uncle Ray? Ugh. Najee's status up in the air, will have a banger role if healthy.
    CeeDee will eat this year, Drake London gonna get a ton of looks, still not sold on Penix yet, but looking for a good year from Drake. Jakobi Meyers is most underrated WR in football. Kelce will be a useful player, 3 down chainmover and red zone threat, he's not totally shot yet. Like Mickey Goldnill taught us in Rocky Ill, the worst thing to happen to any player, he got civilized.
    13) Suck It-Jayden Daniels gonna take a lit bit of a step back this year, it can't be that easy can it. But rushing keeps him top Sish. Jonathan Taylor gonna have a big year, Colts might be decent and division stinks. The party ends for David Montgomery this year, get bent. Rachaad White gonna catch another 50 balls plus, TB can support 2 backs. Jamar gonna break records along with Burrow, watch out. Rashee will be good, can the other WRs keep you afloat for 6 weeks while suspended. Can Rattler keep Olave above water, I guess when losing and with enough volume he will be king of garbage dump in 2° half of games. Doubs stinks, Aiyuk's knee already exploded G, not expecting much. Darren Waller is a jerkbird, it's over Johnny.
    14) Skullcrushers-Lamar gonna do Lamar things, lotsa rush yards, lotsa passing TDs, nice one. Breece Hall, not feeling it. Maybe he was hurt last year but he looked terrible, Braelon might just be better. Dobbins will be better than most think, I like RJ Harvey but Sean Payton gonna use 2 backs, he will be the Deuce Mcallister and RJ the Reggie Bush, both can flourish. Overall don't love the backfield though.
    Monangai will be a role player, not taking Swift's job. Rashard Smith may be something later in year, should have a pass catching role as long as he can pass protect. Isiah Davis, Guerendo and C Rodriguez don't move the needle. Justin Jefferson will do his usual thing, just a slight concern that we haven't seem Mccarthy do it yet. Nabers will have a big year with Rusty. Tre Harris has a long way to go to prove himself. Has some dude Elic on the roster, who the F is that you ask, beats the hell out of me Skip. Joe Elic from Lacey softball, the Buzzards? Win or lose we drink the booze. Must be friends with P Mafah. Kyle Pitts stinks, I can't with this guy.
    Who the F is Gunnar Helm, sounds like someone in the Strongman contest from Albania, you really unearthed some crackheads this year.
    15) Kennis' Menaces-CJ Stroud was supposed to light up last year, let's look for a slight rebound. Daniel Jones and Penix may get some starts too, Jones runs to give him a floor, Penix doesn't so gonna have to do it all in the air, be careful. He faced 3 awful defenses last year, not sold yet. Chase Brown gonna go nuclear. Tony Pollard scares me, his metrics were awful last year, I like Tyjae to at least split once healthy.
    Rest of backfield is buncha knuckledraggers(Woody Marks, Zach Moss, Raheem Mostert, Sean Tucker). I love Nico, #2 WR on my board, going off. Jauan is scaring me, calf issue/contract. Rest of WRs(Keenan Allen/Amari Cooper/Jayden Reed)
    stinko. Njoku will be good as long as Flacco starts, after that good luck. B. Strange has potential.
    16) The Usual Suspects-Patrick Mahomes is ready for a bounceback, not 40 TDs but 30+ and a few rushing scores. I like Bryce Young to be solid #2, was good 2° half last year. This backfield is hurting my eyes. A. Jones is the best and he is as old as Vex. Jordan Mason gonna really hurt him. Joe Mixon is shot. Javonte starting for Dallas, will split with Sanders and Blue will come on later in year, ugh. Kaleb Johnson is buried right now, $3, way too pricey. Need a CMC injury for B, Robinson to shine. Tyreek has to be better than last year, let's call a slight bounceback, but Miami seems like a big mess. Not a Mclaurin guy, last year was ceiling. Zay Flowers, decent player, lotsa options in Baltimore, nah. Garrett Wilson has to get looks, will Fields be able to hit him or just tuck it and run, get ready for the rollercoaster. Hockenson is decent, but might be 4" option behind J, Addison. A. Jones.
    Kincaid is ok, just don't see a breakout.

    “A little bit of beer is divine medicine.” –Paracelsus, Greek physician

    Bayville, NJ—After finishing his second 16 oz. can of some new, Simcoe & Mosaic hopped craft beer can of the early evening, GM Ed Doderer, who reportedly drinks five of the intense hop flavored cans a day, expressed his sincere hope that researchers are currently working on a cure for whatever terrible disease he’s getting right now. “I’m just going to optimistically anticipate that by the time the chronic ailment I’m currently developing fully progresses, a team of dedicated researchers working around the clock in a lab somewhere will have found a cure,” Doderer said, noting that he’s “counting on” scientists to invent a pill, vaccine, patch, or other medical solution in the coming years to prevent him from contracting whatever horrific, life-threatening disease you eventually get from drinking 80 or more ounces of tropical and citrus fruits and pine with subtle malt sweetened cans each day. “It makes sense because medicine is already so advanced that in 10 to 15 years, when I finally experience the full onset of whatever the hell freaky illness is slowly gestating inside of me with each triple dry hopped can of this shit, there’s bound to be at least one cure. And I hope they start working on it soon, too, because I’m not feeling so great.” Doderer added that, until that day comes, he could really go for another double dry hopped with Centennial West Coast IPA. 

    Draft Review

    Time for my annual exercise in futility; history tells us that half of my takes (and yours) on players will be wrong.  With that in mind, let’s review the 33rd Draft

    Hammerheads

    Strong start with Dak.  Bombs away; could lead league in yards and TD’s.  Just a season removed from MVP runner-up.  Sick of waiting for the Trevor Lawrence break out; new coordinator, new shiny toy in T. Hunter.  No more excuses.  Good backup.

    Love King Henry.  Duh.  Just wish he would catch a few passes.  Chubbler doesn’t catch many passes either.  Shiny new contract, he’s now the guy – was last season a fluke?  Think he's legit.  Dowdle gonna steal some 3rd down touches but good # 2 behind good o-line. Like the upside with Braelan Allen taking touches from Breece, particularly at the goal line.

    Loved Davante before Stafford’s back became an issue.  No one used to have a bad back.  Remember that kids.  As long as Stafford plays Davante will be fine.  I like Tet McMillan but think hype has gotten out of hand.  This is still CAR, not CIN.  Ton of upside if the late season Bryce Young resurgence is for real.  Still, lot to expect for rookie to be teams # 1 out of the gate.  

    Ferguson/Ertz combo at TE is boring but effective.  Like Keller’s lovemaking.  Zoinks!

    Skull Crushers

    Arguably best QB with Lamar.  He’s so good that he’s gonna play during his bye week.  No backup QB needed here apparently.

    Breece Hall & JK Dobbins.  Both are in committees and have younger guys breathing down their necks.  Fields less likely to dump off to Breece than Rodgers was; he’ll just take off.  I'm probably very wrong about Breece.  Dobbins just a guy at this point; he’s a better pass blocker than Harvey, but the clock is ticking.  If only Mafah didn’t go on IR.  Bunch of dudes on bench waiting for injury opportunity. 

    Probably best WR duo in league with Nabors & Jefferson. 

    Pitts & Helm at TE nothing to get excited about…unless the Penix/Pitts offseason lovefest transfers to the field?  Maybe…

    Big Dogs

    I like the upside with McCarthy & Maye.  One or both is gonna break out.  Smart shopping. 

    Love Irving.  Duh.  Saints stink and Kamara is old.  Isn’t that we said last year?  And the year before that, I think.  Dude just keeps catching a shit ton of passes.  However, this is the worst QB room he’s had.  Lot of three and outs for this team; Kamara’s numbers will probably take a hit. Dowdle gonna steal some work from the Chubbler; maybe he falls into the end zone as a bye week fill in. 

    Love Higgins.  DeVonta is reliable – ranked between 15th and 20th in per game points for last 3 years.I like Mooney’s upside when he returns from injury.  Penix can chuck it and Mooney is the downfield guy. Remember – he was leading ATL in receiving yards entering mid-December.

    Bowers is great but won’t see as many targets as last season.  Raiders were top 3 in attempted passes last year.  They’ll run a lot more with Jeanty now in town.  Still top 3. 

    Dark Knights

    Purdy quietly top 10 QB last year, and now he has a healthy CMC and Pearsall to throw to.  Think Love bounces back and looks like the potential MVP from 2023.

    Love Jeanty.  Gonna get shit ton of touches.  Hoping for a handful of TD’s.  Pacheco gonna bounce back from broken leg and be the guy we saw in last 8 games of 2023. Hoping Rhamondre can just fall into the end zone during bye weeks.  Nothing on bench to get excited about; maybe Gainwell will be like Cordarelle Patterson was in Smith’s offense and steal some touches.  Ugh.

    Wanted Cee Dee, settled for Amon Ra.  Nice consolation.  Love love love Egbuka.  Gonna be the # 1 rookie WR.  Jameson break out in the making?  That’s the word on the street.  Had no intention of drafting both Lions WR’s, but value too good to pass up.  Bunch of other dudes on bench - maybe Burton emerges 2nd half of season, they spent a 2nd rd pick on him.

    Love TE Kraft.  Love has to throw to someone, and it looks like only rookie Golden can stay on the field. 

    Suck It

    Love Daniels, but everything went right for that team last year.  Could easily emerge as overall # 1 QB; I think he takes a small step back numbers wise.  Richardson stinko.

    Taylor and Montgomery solid # 2 backs.  No receptions, but TD potential lifts em up.  Jones at least gives Indy a serviceable passing game, which will only help Taylor.   Offensive line losses a concern though.  Montgomery 25 TD’s in last 28 games.  Lotta talk about phasing him out to give Gibbs more touches.  We'll see.

    Love Chase.  Duh.  Rice not showing up until week 7; until then it’s Olave.  Eeeewww.  Dude needs to get out of New Orleans, wasting his talent. 

    Waller at TE;  dart throw.  No thanks. 

    Hurt Box

    Goff above average QB – most yards, 2nd most TD’s last 2 seasons.  I’m not worried about OC Ben Johnson moving on.  Did all the players forget how to play?  Ward an upside dart throw.

    Connor keeps being undervalued and just puts up numbers.  He may lose a few touches to Benson, but he’s still the main man in AZ.  I don’t know what to think of Swift; it seems the opportunity for a huge year is there.  O-line is improved, and hard to imagine 7th rd pick Monangai gonna take his job.  Time share perhaps?  Love RJ Harvey’s upside.  Payton's new Kamara?  Should take over backfield touches by mid-season. 

    AJ Brown a solid # 1, even with PHI running the shit out of the ball.  Only him & Jefferson have averaged over 80 receiving yards per game 3 years in a row.  Odunze will be better than last season with Keenan Allen leaving town.   C. Kirk: yawn. 

    McBride is great, more TD’s on the way.  Otton good backup.

    Usual Suspects

    Mahomes gonna be better than last 2 seasons, but a return to his early career numbers ain’t happening.  Overpaid.  Bryce Young seems to be on the up elevator.

    This RB group is a mess.  A. Jones splitting touches with Mason and Kaleb Johnson # 3 on depth chart.  Think he eventually emerges but Arthur Smith loves rotating up to 3 RB's.  Big headache.  Mixon is hurt and may be toast, Javonte looked cooked last year.  What happened here Mully? 

    I’m down on both Tyreek and Garrett Wilson.  Situation in MIA looks awful and I have zero faith in Fields being able to get the ball consistently to Wilson.  McLaurin may be your best WR. 

    I liked Hockenson more before they brought Thielen back.  Kincaid has good upside.  He was hurt last year and BUF wide receivers are all average at best. 

    Nibes Tribe

    Love Nix.  Flacco gotta give way at some point to Gabriel and/or Sanders so CLE can see what they have (or don’t have).

    Advance metrics say Kyren inefficient, blah blah.  Dude just puts up numbers and has a shiny new contract.  Mason & Skatteboo are in committees.  Maybe one emerges due to injury.  Judkins may emerge later in the season; how bout getting in some practices rookie?  Hard to get excited about any RB in CLE. 

    Puca is great, but I’m convinced Stafford gonna miss games and Jimmy G doesn’t inspire confidence.  Smith Njigba numbers gonna take a hit in new run first Darnold led offense.  Travis Hunter # 2 option in JAX, and Godwin may never be same after devastating ankle/leg injury.

    TE Loveland may disappoint; lot of mouths to feed in CHI; he’s # 3 option behind Odunze, Moore, and maybe Swift.

    Dime Store Jesus

    Jalen Hurts gets no love but dude puts up numbers (9.8 ppg just in rushing).  Dart will take job from Wilson at some point.  Kid looked pretty good in pre-season; hope springs eternal in NY. 

    Love Gibbs.  Duh.  Warren in a time share with both Kaleb & Gainwell, but is listed as starter and just signed shiny new contract.  Spears is hurt – as usual – and is the # 2 option behind Pollard when he’s healthy. 

    Love Courtland Sutton.  Only gonna get better with Nix on the rise.  Think Deebo gonna surprise in WAS.  Jeudy will be productive until Flacco gets benched.  

    Love Kittle.  Duh.  Fidone is a human male.

    Arrogant Bastards

    Mayfield probably won’t match last years career numbers, but he’s a Top 10 QB.  Darnold won’t do much in SEA. 

    Cook won’t score 18 TD’s again, so looking at RB 2 numbers from a guy who touches the ball less than 50% of the time.  Bunch of crap at # 2 RB. 

    Arguably best WR combo with Lamb & London.  Little concerned about London.  Penix hasn’t even played a half season yet, and the 3 games London went nuts with Penix (against 3 shit teams) were when Mooney was out.  Meyers quietly solid # 2 (top 24 past 3 seasons) but wants out of Vegas; will he play? 

    Kelce will be solid in what may be his final season.  May not have ton of yards but receptions will be there.

    Boston Crabs

    I’m not sold on either Caleb or Kyler.  Caleb hasn’t looked great in new offense.  Kyler’s inconsistency will drive you nuts.  However, he has the weapons with Harrison & McBride.  Only Kyler and Josh Allen have averaged 230 + passing yards and 35 + rushing yds per game in their careers; I don’t know shit.

    CMC & Saquon.  Ay caramba.  That combo may carry the Crabs to a title.

    Until we see otherwise, gotta pencil in Evans for 1,000 yards and 10 scores.  Rolling the dice that either Diggs or Kupp can be productive starter.  My money (if I have to bet) is on Diggs; Maye has to throw to someone.  Low end WR # 2 is probably best case scenario.  

    Engram a nice security blanket for Nix. 

    Depth?  We don't need no stinkin depth!

    The Bungles

    Burrow is a monster.  Would 5000 yards and 50 TD’s surprise anyone? 

    Bijon in discussion as # 1 RB obviously.  I like Tracy as # 2 RB; averaged top 20 numbers in his 13 starts. Think Scatteboo gonna help keep him fresher and more explosive.  Jerome Ford just keeping seat warm for Judkins or Sampson in shitty CLE. 

    Waddle may end up as MIA’s # 1 WR, but that team seems like an accident waiting to happen.  Love the upside with both Ridley and Golden.  Both teams # 1 options.  Look at Ridley's numbers with the shit he's had at QB.  Ward has to be an improvement.  Right?  Keon Coleman couldn’t separate in college and can’t in the pros.  Not sold on him. 

    Goedert and Jonnu should both be serviceable.

    Dodi Dozen

    I know all the experts love Fields; his rushing numbers are great, he’ll run in TD’s, etc.,.  No thanks.  Dude has never thrown for over 2600 yards.  I’m sure I’ll be wrong on this call.  

    Rattler.  Let’s move on. 

    Love the rookie RB duo of Henderson & Hampton.  Both are in committees to start but these dudes will take over touches in short order.  2 other rookie RB’s Blue & Gordon could wind up significant contributors. 

    I like Brian Thomas, but the addition of Hunter will take touches away, and his numbers were great last year with Mac Jones, not Lawrence.  Pickens and Pearsall are both gonna eat well. 

    Love love love TE Warren

    B & C

    Josh Allen is money.  Imagine what his numbers could be if his WR’s were better than mediocre.  Solid backup with Geno.

    I love Achane but the injury late in camp scared me off.  Tua’s availability adds another level of concern.  Without Tua his numbers stink.  Shaky # 2 options Etienne and Croskey.  One better emerge quick.  Sampson and Pierce could get significant touches in shitty offenses; yawn. 

    Marvin Harrison’s 8 TD’s made up for mediocre reception numbers last year.  He should be better in year 2, but don’t think he’s a # 1.  I like DJ Moore in the Amon Ra role in CHI new offense -can Caleb get him the ball?  Worthy took step up in starting in Week 11 (581 yards & 6 TD’s); he should build on that with Rice out for 6 weeks.  Rice’s eventual return a concern.  I like rookie Higgins; kids the talk of HOU camp.

    LaPorta had sophomore slump; bounce back on the way.  Henry averaged 4.5 rec/game with Maye at QB.  Not bad. 

    Kennis Menace

    Quite the 3 headed monster at QB.  Hard to get excited about any of them, but I like Stroud to bounce back and look more like the guy from 2023. 

    Love Chase Brown.  Duh.  Pollard is a good # 2; his o-line is better and Spears is hurt.

    Love Nico.  Dude could wind up the # 1 overall WR.  Is Jennings leg hurt or just his feelings?  Read SF doesn't expect him to play for them this season.  Ugh.  No one inspires confidence right now as your # 2. 

    Can Njoku recreate the magic from 2 years ago with Flacco?  I’m not holding my breath on anyone in CLE. 

    Vex The Progenitor

    Herbert and Rodgers are both QB’s.  Both are white.  Be better Vec.

    Love Josh Jacobs.  I was high on Walker until this foot issue became a thing.  It’s always something.  Good job grabbing Charbonnet.  Bigsby may emerge as JAX starter.

    Love McConkey, though a drop in targets is likely with Keenan Allen now on board.  Rodgers traditionally loves feeding one WR, so maybe Metcalf will eat, but Arthur Smith’s offense all about the running game.  Josh Down is very good; Jones loves throwing to the slot; I’m cautiously optimistic. 

    TE Andrews remains Lamar’s bestest buddy, particularly in the red zone. 

    Playoff Teams:  This is impossible, but I'll go with:

    Dodi Dozen, Boston Crabs, Dark Knights, Big Dogs, Hurt Box, Dime Store, The Bungles...agonized over last spot, going with Skull Crushers over Hammerheads thanks to Lamar, Nabors, and Jefferson.

    Sammy Bowl matchup:  Boston Crabs vs Dodi Dozen

    Olamide Zaccheaus Nov 18 8:50pm CT
    Olamide Zaccheaus

    Across 10 games in 2025, Chicago Bears wide receiver Olamide Zaccheaus has recorded 32 catches for 248 yards and one touchdown on 50 targets. For most of the season to this point, he's played the WR3 role in Chicago alongside wideouts Rome Odunze and DJ Moore. However, Zaccheaus' usage dropped off sharply in the Bears' Week 11 win over the Minnesota Vikings. The 28-year-old recorded zero catches on zero targets and played a season-low 10 offensive snaps. Chicago could be shifting playing time to rookie wideout Luther Burden III, who played 33 offensive snaps against Minnesota. Zaccheaus was not a major factor for fantasy managers before Week 11, but he could now be fading into true fantasy irrelevance. The usage split between Zaccheaus and Burden III is worth monitoring heading into Chicago's Week 12 matchup against the Pittsburgh Steelers.

    Michael Carter Nov 18 8:50pm CT
    Michael Carter

    Arizona Cardinals running back Michael Carter recorded a season-high five receptions on seven targets in his team's 41-22 Week 11 loss to the San Francisco 49ers. With Cardinals running back Emari Demercado (ankle) likely to miss the team's Week 12 matchup against the Jacksonville Jaguars, Carter could be in line for a sizable role for a second straight week. The 26-year-old is unlikely to factor much on early downs, as Carter has fallen behind Arizona back Bam Knight in the pecking order for carries. However, Carter has recorded at least five targets in three out of six games played for the Cardinals this season. One wrinkle for Carter is the potential return of Trey Benson (knee), who could be returning soon from the knee injury that has kept him on Injured Reserve since Week 4. However, if Benson and Demercado are out in Week 12, Carter could have some deep-league fantasy appeal.

    Michael Mayer Nov 18 8:40pm CT
    Michael Mayer

    Las Vegas Raiders tight end Michael Mayer is often overlooked due to the presence of his star teammate and fellow tight end Brock Bowers. However, Mayer has maintained a consistent role in his team's passing game even since Bowers returned in Week 9 from a knee injury that forced him to miss multiple games. Over the last three weeks, Mayer has recorded nine catches for 61 yards on 15 targets. While the overall ineptitude of the Raiders' offense limits Mayer's upside, his stable target volume provides a decent floor in PPR fantasy leagues. He's not worth a starting spot in the vast majority of fantasy formats, but Mayer could be a player to monitor in deep leagues.

    Keaton Mitchell Nov 18 8:30pm CT
    Keaton Mitchell

    Baltimore Ravens running back Keaton Mitchell had one of his highest usage games of the 2025 season in Week 11, recording 54 scrimmage yards on eight touches against the Cleveland Browns. With Ravens running back Justice Hill (toe) sidelined by a toe injury, Mitchell stepped into the team's RB2 role behind Derrick Henry. If Hill remains out for Baltimore's Week 12 matchup against the New York Jets, Mitchell could see steady playing time on passing downs for the second straight week. Across 19 career games with Baltimore, Mitchell has averaged 6.6 yards per carry and 7.3 yards per touch. He could be worth targeting on the waiver wire for fantasy managers in leagues with 14 or more teams heading into Week 12.

    Dawson Knox Nov 18 8:20pm CT
    Dawson Knox

    Even with Buffalo Bills tight end Dalton Kincaid (hamstring) sidelined in Week 11, Bills TE2 Dawson Knox had a modest outing, recording one catch for 23 yards on three targets against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Kincaid did not practice on either Monday or Tuesday heading into Buffalo's Week 12 matchup against the Houston Texans on Thursday night, so Knox could have another chance to be his team's lead tight end. Still, in the two games he's played this season without Kincaid, Knox has recorded two catches for 42 yards and a touchdown on five targets. Expectations for Knox should be limited, but the 29-year-old does have a better chance to find the end zone without Kincaid in the lineup. In the deepest fantasy leagues, Knox could be a low-end streaming option for managers to add off the waiver wire heading into Week 12.

    Harold Fannin Jr. Nov 18 7:00pm CT
    Harold Fannin Jr.

    Cleveland Browns tight end Harold Fannin Jr. has been inconsistent during his rookie campaign. To be fair, it's not easy to be a consistent contributor in this Browns offense that has been struggling as a whole. The good news is, Fannin has seen five targets or more in each of his last five games. Last week, Fannin hauled in two of his five targets for 26 yards in the loss to the Baltimore Ravens. The 21-year-old hasn't been productive every week, but is worthy of a look as a deep league option for the upcoming Week 12 matchup against the Las Vegas Raiders.

    Adonai Mitchell Nov 18 6:50pm CT
    Adonai Mitchell

    New York Jets wide receiver Adonai Mitchell made his team debut against the New England Patriots last week. Mitchell was traded to the Jets in the deal that sent defensive back Sauce Gardner to the Indianapolis Colts. Mitchell didn't have a ton of time to learn the playbook, but was immediately heavily involved in the passing attack. Mitchell was targeted six times, but was only able to haul in one of those passes for 10 yards in the loss. The result obviously isn't good, but the six targets is promising for Mitchell. The Jets are without Garrett Wilson (knee), so someone needs to step up for this team. The 23-year-old figures to get a decent amount of chances down the stretch for the Jets. Mitchell could be worth a look as a deep league option as he continues to build chemistry with his new quarterback.

    Parker Washington Nov 18 6:40pm CT
    Parker Washington

    Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Parker Washington has seen an increased role in the offense over the last few weeks. Fellow wideout Brian Thomas Jr. (ankle) has been sidelined the last few games, which has led to more playing time for Washington. Sadly, Washington gave fantasy managers a dud this past weekend. He hauled in both his targets for 20 yards in the win over the Los Angeles Chargers. To be fair, Washington didn't likely get many chances due to the fact the Jags were blowing them out. The expectation is that Washington will have a larger role against the Arizona Cardinals this weekend. His role in the offense could be reduced if Thomas gets back on the field. However, Washington is still worth a look as a possible flex option.

    Kaleb Johnson Nov 18 6:30pm CT
    Kaleb Johnson

    Pittsburgh Steelers running back Kaleb Johnson has seen a minimal role in the offense during his rookie season. However, Johnson could see an increased role this week. Lead back Jaylen Warren (ankle) is currently uncertain to suit up against the Chicago Bears in Week 12. If he sits, Kenneth Gainwell figures to take over as the lead back with Johnson presumably being the backup. Last week, Johnson rushed the ball five times for 15 yards in the win over the Cincinnati Bengals. Gainwell is the better option between the two right now, but Johnson might have some deep league appeal if Warren is unable to play.

    Chris Brooks Nov 18 6:30pm CT
    Chris Brooks

    Green Bay Packers running back Chris Brooks could possibly see a larger role on offense this weekend. Lead back Josh Jacobs (knee) is uncertain to suit up for the Week 12 matchup against the Minnesota Vikings. If he sits, Emanuel Wilson is likely to take over as the lead back in Green Bay. That means, Brooks would move up to the primary backup if Jacobs is unavailable. Brooks hasn't played much this season, but that's not surprising for a third string back. He could be worth a look as a desperation flex play if Jacobs is ruled out.

    From RotoBaller

    Van Jefferson Nov 18 6:20pm CT
    Van Jefferson

    Tennessee Titans wide receiver Van Jefferson hauled in his first touchdown of the season during last week's game against the Houston Texans. The veteran wideout has been quiet this season, but was able to make an impact this past weekend. Jefferson hauled in three of his seven targets for 22 yards and a touchdown in the loss. The Titans are banged up at wide receiver which could lead to Jefferson having a bigger role moving forward. Calvin Ridley (leg) has already been placed on the injured reserve, but Chimere Dike (chest) is in danger of sitting out in Week 12. If that happens, Jefferson figures to take on a larger workload. Jefferson could offer some low-end flex appeal for fantasy managers desperate for help.

    Curtis Samuel Nov 18 6:03pm CT
    Curtis Samuel

    Buffalo Bills WR Curtis Samuel (neck/elbow) did not practice on Tuesday, Nov. 18.

    Fantasy Spin: With Keon Coleman out and Khalil Shakir limited to three targets, Samuel matched his season high of two catches in Week 11 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Even though the Bills' wide receiver room seems to be in flux, Samuel shouldn't factor into any shakeup the club might make.

    Chigoziem Okonkwo Nov 18 6:00pm CT
    Chigoziem Okonkwo

    Tennessee Titans tight end Chig Okonkwo led the Titans with 56 receiving yards on three catches (three targets) in last week's 16-13 loss to the Houston Texans. It came in a game in which receivers Calvin Ridley (leg), Chimere Dike (chest), and Elic Ayomanor (hamstring) were all injured. Ridley broke his fibula and will miss the rest of the year, a significant development for the Titans' offense the rest of the way. It's unclear if Dike's and Ayomanor's injuries are serious enough to force them to miss time, but even if they can play this weekend against the Seattle Seahawks, Okonkwo and rookie tight end Gunnar Helm should have higher fantasy ceilings. Okonkwo's 56 yards on Sunday were his highest total since Week 3, and he now has multiple catches in three straight games. It's hard to put too much trust in anyone in Tennessee's offense this year, but with Ridley done for the year, it makes Okonkwo a little more intriguing as a TE2 streamer in fantasy leagues. He's rostered in only 16% of Yahoo leagues.

    David Sills Nov 18 5:50pm CT
    David Sills

    Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Davis Sills V should be in line for more work in Week 12 against the division-rival New Orleans Saints after Drake London (knee) suffered a PCL sprain in the overtime loss to the Carolina Panthers on Sunday. Darnell Mooney and tight end Kyle Pitts Sr. should be quarterback Kirk Cousins' top targets for however long London is sidelined, but Sills inevitably should see more looks as well. The 29-year-old caught one of his two targets in the Week 11 loss for 11 yards, which was his second-best game of the year. In his first year in Atlanta, he's only caught four of his nine targets for 34 yards in 10 games, so it would be unreasonable to expect him to suddenly go off in fantasy in the coming weeks with London injured. Still, Sills is worth a look off the waiver wire in deeper leagues for WR depth. He's currently available in 100% of Yahoo leagues.

    Calvin Ridley Nov 18 5:40pm CT
    Calvin Ridley

    The Tennessee Titans officially placed wide receiver Calvin Ridley (leg) on season-ending Injured Reserve on Tuesday and signed receiver James Proche II to the active 53-man roster in a corresponding move, according to Jim Wyatt of the team's website. Ridley broke his fibula in Sunday's loss to the Houston Texans and will miss the rest of 2025. In addition to Ridley's injury, rookie wideouts Chimere Dike (chest) and Elic Ayomanor (hamstring) were injured in Week 11 and did not return. It means the Titans' WR corps could be dangerously thin for their Week 12 tilt against the visiting Seattle Seahawks. If Dike and Ayomanor are both unable to play this weekend, it would mean much larger roles for veteran Van Jefferson and Mason Kinsey in the passing game, with tight ends Chig Okonkwo and Gunnar Helm also seeing target boosts.

    Dalton Schultz Nov 18 5:30pm CT
    Dalton Schultz

    Houston Texans tight end Dalton Schultz (shoulder) continues to manage a shoulder injury, but he should be active on Thursday night in Week 12 against the Buffalo Bills after upgrading to a full practice on Tuesday. Schultz was listed as limited on the team's Monday practice estimation. The 29-year-old's shoulder injury has not slowed him down on the field on game days, as he has a nice three-game stretch consisting of 19 catches, 181 yards, and a touchdown on 28 targets. He has had at least eight targets during that span and has seen at least eight targets in four of the last five games. The last two weeks with starting quarterback C.J. Stroud (concussion) sidelined, Schultz has been a nice safety blanket for Davis Mills, catching 13 of 20 targets for 104 yards and his first touchdown of the year. Schultz is trending up going into Thursday's tilt while being on the TE1/2 borderline in fantasy.

    Odell Beckham Jr. Nov 18 5:20pm CT
    Odell Beckham Jr.

    Three-time Pro Bowl wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. was officially reinstated by commissioner Roger Goodell on Tuesday, according to Tom Pelissero of NFL Network. Beckham remains a free agent, and it remains to be seen how much attention he'll generate around the league. The 33-year-old veteran was given a six-game suspension in October for violating the league's policy on performance-enhancing drugs, but he's now eligible to play again and will look to latch on with a team for the stretch run in 2025. The former 12th overall pick by the New York Giants in 2014 out of LSU spent the last two seasons playing with the Baltimore Ravens and Miami Dolphins, where he caught 44 of his 82 targets for 620 yards and only three touchdowns. OBJ had only nine catches for 55 yards and no scores in nine games in 2024 with Miami. At this stage of his career, he'll be more of a long shot to return to the fantasy radar, but that might depend on where he ends up.

    Nico Collins Nov 18 5:20pm CT
    Nico Collins

    Houston Texans wide receiver Nico Collins (ankle) should be ready to play on Thursday against the Buffalo Bills after he was listed as a full practice participant on Tuesday. Collins opened the week on Monday listed as limited on the estimated report with a new ankle injury, but it doesn't appear to be serious enough to slow him down going into Week 12 despite the quick turnaround. Even though starting quarterback C.J. Stroud (concussion) will miss his third straight game this week, fantasy managers should not hesitate to start the 26-year-old pass-catcher against Buffalo. Collins has been a top-10 fantasy wideout in terms of half-PPR points per game (12.6) through 11 weeks of the season as Houston's clear WR1. And he's actually been better the last two weeks with Davis Mills running the offense, catching 16 of 25 targets for 228 yards and one touchdown.

    Kyle Pitts Nov 18 4:10pm CT
    Kyle Pitts

    Atlanta Falcons tight end Kyle Pitts Sr. logged his second straight two-catch performance in Week 11's 30-27 overtimeloss to the Panthers after catching at leastthree passes in each of his first eight games of the season. It wouldseem his involvement is trending downward, however, wide receiver Drake London (knee) will likely miss Week 12, which could be a boon to his target potential. When London missed Week 8 with an injury, Pitts garnered a team-high nine targets, converting all of them into receptions, albeit for just 59 yards. The other good news is that Kirk Cousins was under center for that contest, and Cousins will again be the starter for the Week 12 road matchup against the Saints. Expectationsshould be tempered, though, as Pitts recorded one catch or fewer in five contests with Cousins at the helm last year. There is a wide range of outcomes for the 6-foot-6 tight end in this week's game, but he will still likelybe a low-end TE1 on Sunday.

    Will Howard Nov 18 4:10pm CT
    Will Howard

    Pittsburgh Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin said "we'll see" when asked about rookie quarterback Will Howard receiving first-team reps during the week, with Aaron Rodgers (wrist) likely sidelined for their Week 12 matchup against the Chicago Bears. Rodgers has not yet been ruled out for Sunday's game, but he won't practice on Wednesday, and Friday will be the key day for his gameday status. Mason Rudolph is expected to start if Rodgers can't go, but his absence may open up an opportunity for Howard to work with the starting offense during practice. The rookie sixth-rounder out of Ohio State was activated from injured reserve last week after suffering a hand injury before the start of the season. Howard produced big-time numbers in his final collegiate season with the Buckeyes, throwing for 4,010 yards with 35 touchdowns and 10 interceptions in 16 games and leading them to a national championship. If Rudolph struggles, we could see Howard make his NFL debut in Week 12.
