irish Posted September 10, 2021 Share Posted September 10, 2021 5 hours ago, purplemonster said: I made an ostensibly bad trade by trading both Allen Robinson and Mike Evans for AJ Brown. But this was my concern. Mike Evans is unreliable in the best of times and with Antonio Brown surging I really didn't even want Evans on my team. And with only one flexspot I can't afford to have 50% of his games being duds Holy mackerel that's a really bad trade. I see Brown as only a slight upgrade to Robinson and while I understand your frustration with Evans, he's still a top 20 WR. However, sometimes, it takes making brash moves to win it all, GL.

Right, it's a 10 team league and only 1 flex spot so I was trying to optimize my top scorers. I also have Antonio Brown who looks to be as good as Evans if not better so he's a better flex play anyway right now, and I wouldn't be surprised if I have other guys on my bench as good as Evans. So really it came down to Arob vs AJ Brown and I like that trade. If I offered less I don't think I could have gotten it done.

Finn5033 Posted September 10, 2021 Share Posted September 10, 2021 Played against a guy who had Dak, Godwin, and Cooper. Going to take a loss before I even have a guy play lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
League_Champion Posted September 10, 2021 Author Share Posted September 10, 2021 That cost me 5 bills last night, but great game nonetheless. Dak looked great. The Boys are going to score some serious points this season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luckily logged into another stream to catch the last two scores. Hell of a game. When you're losing in plays, time of possession, and turn overs and still win the game...ya, gotta think Tampa goes back to the bowl. What kind of stream were you watching that would cut over to nightly news? Certainly nothing official, why not just watch on the NFL App, its a national game and all national and locally broadcast games are available there. But I get the anger, I often have race events that don't run in the recorded time slot, and I miss the beginning or the end. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevegrab Posted September 10, 2021 Share Posted September 10, 2021 What an entertaining game, would have been nice to see a little more defense and running. I cannot believe I was rooting for the Cowboys at times. Dak and the Cowboys offense looked really good, the Bradies looked pretty good too. Good game fantasy wise, with Cooper 100+ yds and 2TDs scoring 26 points which is elite RB/WR numbers, ore more like a good QB score. Also had Succup, but my opponent also did well with AB and Z-leg.

Evans will be garbage as long as Brown is around. He may have some good games, but nowhere near his ADP and an untrustworthy start. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Somebody should have told folks doing player rankings, because one list I was looking at had Evans as a top 10WR, Godwin top 20, and AB outside the top 50. ADP numbers I saw reflected similar values (Evans/Godwin in 3/4, AB in 7th). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was the official NBC app, they cut their own live broadcast stream to switch to the slotted news program.

And why the hell don't they have an option to authenticate for a large TV provider like that, especially one they partnered with for a long time on Sunday Ticket. I thought NFL app would allow watching games without having any TV provider authentication for games on broadcast TV. Even for ESPN I thought I watched one that way. But maybe I had already entered my brother's Dish Network credentials which I had used a few times to watch NFL Network games after U-Verse dropped it. What I recall (and see again now) is that all games shown locally this weekend (CBS/Fox Sunday afternoon, NBC SNF, ESPN MNF) have a "Watch" button in the Scores area, and I had been able to click on those and watch. (Games available depend on your location at the time, was in TEN one weekend and saw the Watch for their local games, not mine back in CLE.) But geez the NFL app is slow as manure now. Bloated with too much junk no doubt, like the revised CBS Fantasy app. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AB and Godwin are also the type of receivers Tom prefers with their separation skills. Evans is a big bodied receiver like Golladay who excels at using his body to catch the ball. I agree, too many mouths to feed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
