I’m ready to hurt again
Its that time of year again. Slap Pals Fantasy Football has started. Thank you all in advance for last years turn out. It was easily the best and funnest experience I had playing fantasy football here on Slap. If you played last year and still want to go for the championship than stay put. If you would like to leave and give your spot to someone else please let me know. I would like for the winner to get a local shop shirt from the other or if they want donate to a charity of the winners choice. Last place does need a good punishment so if anyone has any good ideas please let me know. May the best Pal win.

I always rooted for the Browns as underdogs and it’s been a nice few years for them, now I’ll throw them in the trashGross they wanted Watson. Was hoping this ordeal went more the Ray Rice route. Cut by team, suspended for 1 year then no team signs. End of career. Houston could have made a huge statement by cutting him
I’m not even sure a Watson-style dual threat would be as effective nowadays anyway. DC’s have them figured out now.
Dual threats tend to be very scheme-dependent. It’s why Kaepernick was terrible after Greg Roman was out in SF. Greg Roman is in Baltimore now making Lamar look somewhat decent.

To be fair, despite the rushing TDs Watson is far from a true dual threat qb. He's very much a classic big guy pocket passer under ideal circumstances but he's been playing from behind against soft coverage for half his career which has allowed him to kind of pad his rushing stats. He's not afraid to tuck it for an easy first when the secondary drops off 30 yards, but I can't think of many designed runs he's called. I see him as a lot closer to Dak than Lamar or Kyler. Actually "Evil Dak" is probably pretty accurate hahaha.
I also think that while he's likely to be a top 10 fantasy qb he's probably a little overrated for actual football purposes. Hes the king of garbage time so on paper things look a little rosier than they really were and I say that as a guy who's started him every week he's played since 2017. There were so many times he'd be on like 8pts heading into the 4th and then put up 200 yds and 2 tds after the other team put in their backups.

Damn it I thoughti could have pulled a win tonight but DK judt had to drop the ball and couldn't get any big yards.
Got Khalil Kerbert off the wire in my dynasty league. Pretty stoked about that since I'm rebuilding. I definitely overpaid for him (41 out of 200 FAB) but I always end up having like a hundo left at the end of the season.
Not sure what to do about Devonta Smith and Christian Watson. I don't know if either are worth sitting on if they're going to be the forgotten man in their offense. Might be further ahead to drop one and hope to re-add them at some point. There's some WRs that have big upside but are risky like Curtis Samuel, Duvernay, and Robbie Anderson. Also strongly considering swapping Thielen for a Jarvis Landry or Elijah Moore type if he doesn't start scoring soon.
I may very well grab Taysom Hill as my TE if Dawson Knox doesn't show up next game too. There's enough TE depth out there this year I'm not even sure Knox will get claimed if I cut him.

He's quietly been arguably the best backup in the league for a few years now. People like to big up Mattison and Pollard because they're flashy but Williams was always consistent and productive when he got the chance in GB. Detroit hasn't even really used him as a receiver which is something he's very adept at as well. In the age of the talented but oft injured lead back like CMC, Saquon, and Swift a guy like Jamaal who can come in and consistently be productive without fumbling is incredibly valuable. I believe he actually has one of the no fumble records, maybe most carries to start a career without losing one.
I was surprised no one gave him a shot at being a bell cow after GB didn't bring him back for a 5th year. With how versatile he is and how many teams seem to have ball security woes I would have expected Houston or Miami or Seattle to target him but alas its a copycat league and maybe he is better suited to being the clapper of a thunder and lightning duo. Either way I think he's going to be a top 10 back until swift comes back.
I was really happy to see Devonta Smith have a bit of a coming out party. I drafted him early last year in my dynasty and I've been bullish on him ever since. He had 150 yards and a td at the half and I'm pretty sure he could have put up 250 if they kept throwing. Definite shades of the NC game a few years back where he dropped a qb like stat line.
I can't shake the feeling that if I swap Devonta Smith into my wr2 slot he's going to disappear again and Adam Thielen, my wr2 stalwart for the last 5 years, is going to have his first really big game of the year. It's so hard to bench a guy that flies under the radar but has been a really great fantasy wr for a long time now for a guy I believe in but don't fully trust.
What do you guys think about Dawson Knox? I'm starting to hit the panic button on him a bit. I know they gave him a big deal but there's just so many mouths to feed on that offense and they're not playing from behind and throwing 60x a game anymore. I grabbed David Njoku who's presumably playing for a contract since he's franchise tagged and had a big game last week, but he's hard to get excited about either since he's always been talented but inconsistent. Even though I hate carrying 2 TEs I feel like I have to until someone steps up.
Dalton Schultz is on the wire in this league as well, would you swap Schultz for Knox even though Daks out? I kinda feel like they have similar floors but Schultz has a higher ceiling, especially once Dak comes back.

Keeping that winning streak alive l!
Anyone else get in on the fun of the annual Taysom Hill game? I swapped him into most of my DFS lineups and it paid off.
The one that I missed was the yahoo free weekly DFS league with 155k people in it, but I still placed in the money for the second time this year. If I had started Hill instead of Gerald Everett I would have gotten top 10. I'm currently sitting around 350th in the cumulative for the season. Top prize is only 3k but still it's always fun to win money in free games. A few seasons back I finished 8th one week which was like $25, that's the best I've ever done in a free contest.
Also I had to laugh, one of the yinzers in my dynasty league blew his entire $200 FAB budget on Kenny Pickett. No one else even put a bid in but this dude was convinced that there was going to be a bidding war. Yinzer logic is absolutely insane, they're already anointing the kid a future HOFer and he still hasn't thrown a TD pass despite the bills playing 5 yard cushion coverage for the entire second half yesterday.
I was happy to see Devonta continue to develop his chemistry with Hurts, I'm really counting on him to be a key cog in my future plans. A.J. is still clearly the top dog, but Smith is definitely nipping at his heels. Kinda reminds me of Chase and Higgins in Cincy.
Discussion points off the top of my head -
Rhamondre showed that he is who we thought he was, dudes got a little Frank Gore to his game. He gets low and he's deceptively nimble for a 230 pound back. You can't sit Damien Harris because he's quietly been one of the most prolific rushing TD producers of the last few years but I think they might have a legit 1a/1b situation now.
Jared Goff showed that he too is who we thought he was.
David Njoku is potentially finally becoming a very solid fantasy TE.
The rams are a mess. I thought Mcvay was supposed to be an offensive genius, but he sure doesn't seem to have any ideas beyond "throw it to kupp". Drafting both Akers and Henderson was supposed to be my safe bet flex spot, instead I can't start either guy.
Derrick Henry is still Derrick Henry. He hasn't had a home run game yet, but it's coming. Can't wait to see the big man burn some DBs in the open field again.
That being said, I think Nick Chubb might have surpassed him as the best RB in the league now. I got him in the 2nd round in two different leagues and I'm in first place in both, almost entirely because of him haha.

I’m open to trade Diontae Johnson…
I do like Diontae Johnson quite a bit. He’s been putting up respectable points. Youre right, still getting plenty of targets every week. The more experience Pickett gets , only gonna help DJ. He was my flex until the emergence of Dameon Pierce. My starting receivers are Deebo & Marquise Brown. Maybe I should just hold onto him. Gonna be a solid substitute when those two have a bye weekExpand QuoteI’m open to trade Diontae Johnson…[close]
If you can't find a trade I wouldn't panic. Pickett rolls right when he gets spooked and Johnson primarily works the left sideline, but when Kenny stays in the pocket and trusts his read he's had some chemistry with him. If you trust advanced stats DJ is the most open receiver on the team by quite a bit. Their schedule opens up a bit down the stretch so I could see him being a late season difference maker. He has the worst OC in the league so if you're relying on him for a wr1 you're probably fucked, but as a flex/matchup dependant wr2 you can do a lot worse than a guy who's going to consistently see 10+ targets a week. At best he's a top 10 wr, at worst he's a steady 10 pts you can keep on the bench and slot in where necessary.
I say that as someone incredibly critical of this embarrassment of a Steelers team. DJ can ball and is a focal point of Canada's awful play calling so once Pickett starts getting more of those targets on him in the right place he should start scoring more the way he has in the past.
Once this bye is over I'm gonna ride with Josh JacobsI’m feeling crazy & dangerous… trade for Joe Mixon?

Haha that's kinda where I'm leaning. I've used him as my "qb that didn't get drafted" of choice to fill in for Watson's injuries and indiscretions over the years and he's actually been a very solid qb from a fantasy perspective even dating back to Washington. Every year he finishes with like 15-20 fpg and ranked between 9-13 for qb scoring. It's actually kind of wild how consistent he is without ever winning anything.
Fields has a tempting trend line but he just feels like one of those picks where you get too cute and it bites you. Now that I said that he's going to pull a Tua and score 50 out of nowhere.

If it makes you feel better, Cooper will most likely be bottled up in shadow coverage while Tee Higgins goes off.

Hahaha well this didn’t happen. Good job though dude, well earnt win crushing me!
I want a rematch Pawl. Fantasy makes no sense sometimes. For example, D’onta Foreman got me more points than Burrow & Mixon combined
Michael Thomas is done for the year. Again. He's gotta be one of the biggest what-ifs in recent history at this point..
Welp I have to replace him on one team. I'm in first place in this league on the back of a chubb/henry/khalil/miles/Gibson rb core and Mahomes at qb, so I only roll 2 wrs per week and usually only roster 3. Tyreek and Christian Kirk are what I have starting right now and I have an open roster spot to use on a WR. My options are -
Garrett Wilson
Rondale Moore
Devin Duvernay
Romeo Doubs
Or do I gamble on Mecole Hardman continuing to break out and try to combo that with Mahomes? Im kinda scared that Toney is just going to straight steal most of those touches he's been getting.

So you'd go Hardman? He's one of those guys I picked up speculatively at some point each of the last 2 years only to have him disappear again. He's put up 50 pts over the last few weeks but I'm still a little skeptical.
Rondale Moore is kind of the same deal.

I don't trust any kc receivers outside of kelce. Too much variation
Looking to trade Clyde Edwards Helaire sooner than later . Last 4 weeks dismal #’s , not sure why the Chiefs decide not to incorporate him more in the offense. Seriously , one on those times as soon as I trade him … he gonna start producing the #’s he destined for. Send me your offers….
At bare minimum he’s a flex starter . Guarantee as soon as I trade him he starts producing RB2 #’s he accustomed to. That’s how these things work. You benefit
Lol yeah dunno how i won that one…
Last chance to get some trades in. Anyone interested in dealing
Danger Ru$$Pretty sure I got bamboozled. Interesting to see how this plays out for the remainder of the season. Felt like I was playing chess with you , back & forth with counter offers lol
Pleasure doing business with you boys

My gut tells me I should start George Pickens over Diontae Johnson every week. Just feel like Pickens on the rise especially as of late. What do you think?

Good week to have the Commanders D and Tyler Bass lmao, puttin up 40 off kickers and defense/special teams alone
I may be biased as a KC resident, but the Chiefs are fuckin' zombies. Fuckin never say die.
After decades of watching the Chiefs, I'm so stoked that finally we have team that...we can be down by 21 points with 6 minutes left in the game and I'm like "alright, not ideal but they can pull this out".
Also apparently Henry Winkler is a huge fan of Mahomes and was at the game, Mahomes gave him a jersey and it was such a cool moment.

Hopefully I can get back on track and push you to second haha
Last week of the regular season. Make sure all your line ups are set. Im fucked cuz all my top players are on bye. There goes my win streak
My teams been blowing it the past few weeks and I’m on the outside looking in, which especially sucks I got 31 from Browns D this week lol. I need to win and L’Astro’s to lose which is definitely possible.
I’m convinced having a first rd bye is a trap.
Every time I’ve played someone who was coming off a 1st rd bye, I advanced to the championship game.
😞
Coach Leach was truly one of a kind… that 2008 Texas tech upset over the horns was one of my favorite cfb games of all time.
I got knocked out of my main league by the guy who's so bad he's had first pick 5 of the last 7 years having the luckiest week of his life. He got -
40 from cousins (hadn't broken 30 previously)
20 from Latavius Murray (first 20 pt game of the year)
24 from Kittle (best game of the year)
and I would have still won if it weren't for the fact that right before the game this motherfucker didn't have a flex so he darted Zay Jones in, who proceeded to have literally the best game of his life and put up 32 points. I lost by 12.
I don't really care when I lose to dudes who are good at this but when you put up 130 and lose to the guy with a roster of jobbers its a lot harder to swallow.

Expand QuoteCardinals release DeAndre Hopkins! Wow crazy that they couldn’t pull off a trade to get some type of value[close]
Wild. Must be no one wants to take on that kinda contract and give the Cards compensation to boot. After the whole Gannon tampering situation I can’t imagine a team like the Eagles even doing a deal with the Cards front office. Plus I think Hopkins wants to only go to a Ravens, Chiefs, Eagles etc. so the Cards didn’t have much leverage. Arizona also nets some cap savings by offloading him before June 1 I believe.
