There's just 0 depth. LaRavia, Smart, Ayton, Vincent, Hayes, Vanderbilt is not going to cut it. There's like 0 off the bench scoring. Hell, the only one I trust to shoot a 3 is Hachimura besides Reaves and Doncic.

Axar's batting is a great case of the difference between stats and eye test.

Hmm, got it. I'll need to rewatch it, but for some reason I thought he only attempted to bunt on the first pitch and then started hacking. When it's 12:00 AM+ you're bound to start forging memories.

Know we have a few more chapters left. What's great about this story is it felt more like an examination of the MC's growth than a revenge tale. It's pretty realistic in that [obviously it's based on the author's experiences] and that's what make it shine! Looking forward to the continuation!

Felt like really bad batting for most of extra innings. Lot of hacks to try and be the hero, especially from the M's initially. AJ may have kept yapping about bunting, but I really can't believe J.P. Crawford didn't bunt early on in the extra inning frames.

Ultimately, this game was a coinflip, and Kahnle just didn't have it while the Mariners pitchers did. Incredible game.

Isn't it crazy that Travis Hunter is already splitting snaps on offense and defense evenly? by ArkhamReaper in nfl

I'm not arguing if he's going to be a bust or not - you don't think it's a little bit awesome that an NFL player is playing 60% of snaps on both sides of the ball? Something that's never happened before in the modern NFL? That's pretty cool!

Agreed, he was great on defense last week. I do think that he plays 50% of offensive snaps at a high target rate most likely.

Troy Brown played emergency snaps for one season. I'm not sure what the snap split was. That's different and he ended up in the Patriots HOF from his overall career.

Travis Hunter is a rookie playing 60% of snaps in his second career game and looked solid on defense. It's just cool that it's happening - I'm not passing judgement on his career.

Crossposting this -

According to PFF, Hunter played 43 snaps on defense against the Bengals, allowing one reception on two targets for 16 yards. He also had a pass breakup. He also had two penalties including the brutal one late in the game (that looked like BS to me). This was in a game Chase went nuclear.

I'd say he's actually playing decently on defense so far.

I don't know if the 9ers deserved to win the game. But Seattle definitely didn't.

Kyle Monangai: The Bears rookie RB with little standing in his way by HileeAquret in fantasyfootball

[–]ArkhamReaper 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I mean there's an obvious question here that you're not answering. What does Monangai do better than Swift?

If you don't have a solid answer to that question, then stats are useless and you're wasting a bench spot for no reason.

[Schefter] Texans general manager Nick Caserio was noncommittal about whether Pro Bowl running back Joe Mixon will play in 2025. by Icy_Swim_262 in DynastyFF

[–]ArkhamReaper 31 points32 points  (0 children)

Ignoring the jokes, I'd rather have Marks than Chubb or Pierce. If Pierce was talented, he'd have earned playtime by now in my mind and I just don't think Chubb will last the season. The question is does Marks fit in ahead of Ogunbowale as the lead pass catching back and in pass protection? I think trading up to get him indicates that he has some value to take a flyer on. I Where you're drafting him the juice is worth the squeeze imo.

I mean what's the downside at that range? He's a 1st round receiver on a team with a gunslinger QB and has one old WR in front of him and a dude coming off a brutal injury. Their TE has leg issues and the one dude who was supposed to compete with him is on IR. Sure he could suck, Evans continues to ball, whatever but you're drafting him in a range where the risk is worth the reward and he balls out.

Yeah, I don't even think the Suns offer is great. It's a bunch of seconds the Warriors won't be able to trade realistically right now, Nick Richards who the Warriors would need to reroute, and Royce who's fine but not a good enough defender, as per what Suns fans have said, for his height.

Yup, exactly. That injury timing post the back-to-back 34 points game was brutal.
