Can’t believe Tom Brady fell to me in the 4th round especially with the early run on qbs. I don’t think I’ve ever had him on my fantasy roster in the 10+ years I’ve been playing.

Cactus needs a QB - you may want to explore trade options with him directly 8-)

I had Brady on my team last year. The issue with him is that his ceiling is capped due to the lack of mobility. He'll likely make the top 10 again (just barely). He'll also have weeks where he does very little. Kind of frustrating as a fantasy manager. I remember one week (against Mamba ironically) that I needed like 5 points from him to win. He completely **** the bed & I only got 2 points out of him lol.

Hey bw did you set up a pick 'em league again this year? Sorry if I didn't see it posted somewhere but if you did I'm interested in joining in again.
We watched the tragedy unfold. We did as we were told, we bought and sold. It was the greatest show on Earth...but then it was over.

He played last season without full knowledge of the playbook and a partially torn MCL and still threw for 40 TDs. Wouldn’t surprise me in the slightest if he finished the season as a top 3 qb.

Wow! You're betting on Top 3? Not a chance lol. But I like the optimism.

Btw, have you checked who's on the cover of Madden this year? :wink:

Not really betting on it, but I think that’s in his range of outcomes. Worst come to worst he puts together another 40 td season. And I’m not worried about some Madden curse. Mahomes won a Super Bowl as the cover athlete, and Jackson played all 16 games. Brady of all people can easily put that **** to rest.

I'm in a 20 team keeper league (4 keepers) and he is available for our draft tonight. So is Aaron Rodgers. I almost kept Tannehill as a 2nd QB...I had Jalen Hurts too, but being a keeper league decided he might be better to hang onto. Hopefully his brief showing last year hangs on.

Too many great rushing QBs who get into the end zone with their legs and are also great passers for pocket QBs to be as valuable these days. That's why Mahomes, Allen, Murray and Jackson are all ranked so high. Wilson too. Herbert, Rodgers and Dak can run as well if they need to. If top 3 is in Brady's range, it would probably require a few injuries to some of the main runners as well as a ton of passing yards and tds.

The average fantasy player has no idea who Marquez Callaway is.

If Ben is a streamer what does that say about the WR room there? No shot Claypool, Johnson + Schuster can be 100 players (that's where they're being drafted)

Fitz was a top 12 QB last year as a starter. Ben was 14th with that supporting cast. I figure as long as my team stays relatively healthy (Cook, Jefferson & crew), then I have a decent chance riding with Fitzmagic! :wink:

I inquired about Cousins & he countered with an offer that included Justin Jefferson for Dj Chark amid other things...I'm starting to think he'll do a deal but only if it's completely lopsided in his favor. :wink:

Hey guys or anyone else, what are your thoughts on this team? I had the 10th pick out of 12 teams, standard scoring. Biggest decision I had to make was go for Kelce over Harris in Round 2. Participants with 11th (Taylor and Ekeler) 12th pick (Barkley and Gibson) went double RBs. I went Diggs first. Not sure if I made the right decision..time will tell.

QB-Lamar Jackson
WR-Diggs

Take a look at most roster and tell me who you like for Lance. And Brady and Lamar are unavailable unless you blow me away with your offer.
