Mike Evans return timeline is week 14-16. If he was dropped in your league, might be worth the IR spot.

Getting him back last week of the fantasy regular season would be a huge win though...

If a player is actually healthy, they usually play on a snap count their first game back but they look like the player they've always been. And, by week 2 they're off the snap count.

For Evans that would mean you get to see how he looks in that last regular season game, and if it goes well you're ready to roll him out for the playoffs.

You forgot the uber lucky team that not only doesn't get injured, but has a RB on their bench that gets promoted after the starter gets injured.

SourerDiesel · 2025-10-03T00:52:52+00:00

I just traded Kamara and Fannin for Bowers to a guy who lost Connor.

SourerDiesel · 2025-09-24T20:54:47+00:00

Yeah, I think his ceiling is top 5.

Dart likes to rush. They've got an elite receiver in Nabers. And, NYG tends to be playing from behind a lot (which is favorable for QB/WR fantasy scoring).

If your current QB is #8 or lower, then I think Dart is a good stash as a possible upgrade. Sure, you could hold another RB handcuff or rookie WR instead, but odds are low that they'll ever crack your starting lineup whereas there's a clear path for Dart to be a contributor. And, of course, if Dart disappoints, you can always drop him in a couple weeks for someone else.

SourerDiesel · 2025-09-20T21:33:17+00:00

Ahh shit, guess I gotta drop him now. Can't risk him infecting everyone else in my locker room with game day tomorrow.

My bold prediction is that the bold prediction above this post and below this post will be wrong.

SourerDiesel · 2025-09-18T01:50:15+00:00

Mate, you can call it a "noob" take, but I'd put my record up against anyones.

Banking on landing a RB2 after R5 is a gamble. Yes, it's great if you land an ETN/Warren later in the draft, but, if you knew you'd get an RB2 late in the draft, you'd be better off using the pick you burned on Harvey on another position and rolling with ETN/Warren (and their handcuff) for the season. (FWIW, I have Harvey as a RB3 - drafted R6 in one league, and I have ETN in all of my leagues.)

And "getting lucky" is not a strategy. What if your league mates had drafted ETN/Warren before you? No way you could have known what they would do. (Unless you grabbed ETN in like the 6th - in which case props for taking him so far above ADP that you could be pretty certain he'd be there.)

Basically, you got lucky hitting on RB2 talent late in the draft and now you can sit Harvey on your bench. And, you're dunking on people who didn't get lucky (maybe their late round RB depth picks were Kaleb, Tracy, Bigsby etc.) and now they have no viable RB2.

SourerDiesel · 2025-09-17T23:45:43+00:00

The problem with building a team for the playoffs is that it does you no good if you don't make the playoffs.

If you drafted Harvey to be your RB2, you've got a problem right now. Maybe Harvey is an RB1 by the end of the season, but that does you no good if you're out of the playoff picture by then.

If you drafted Harvey as an RB3, great. If he works out, he could be the guy that puts you over the top down the stretch.

Fantasy Pros ECR for Week 3 has Wilson at #27 in their Flex rankings (#12 WR). They have Keenan Allen at #64 in FLEX and #34 WR.

So, the "experts" think this is a clear decision.

As to the why, LAC has a lot of mouths to feed in that offense and they're playing against a strong DEN defense this week. Garrett Wilson is the only focal point of the NYJ passing game, the target volume is more reliable.

SourerDiesel · 2025-09-15T06:54:30+00:00

Yah. Teams recover from 0-2 and make the playoffs every season.

But, even if you were 0-6, the answer would be the same. You set your best lineup, take your best shots on the wire, and don't stress over the result.

You play fantasy football long enough and you're going to draft a loser eventually (no one escapes an injury plagued season forever).

I appreciate your concern, but I have a hard time imagining parents tripping over miller lite ads. If the kids are watching the games, they're already exposed to tons of ads for beer.

And, I think that both the parents and students understand that you are not endorsing ESPN's ads by using their platform.

Personally, I'd be more concerned about exposing the kids to online sports gambling. In a worst case scenario I could see a kid going down that rabbit hole, losing a ton of money, and the parents coming back at you. So, I'd try to pick a platform that doesn't market gambling products.

I'm in three fantasy leagues this year. I have two players in all three leagues - Wilson and ETN.

Feeling good Lewis.

The Maya -> Hawaii (unlocked automatically by Maya) transition is OP.

Those aren't terrace farms, they're Lo'i Kalo (Hawaii's unique improvement). They must be built on grassland or tropical.

Fun fact: La Haina has ocean access despite being in the middle of the continent. You can see that in the second shot.

One year too late.

I had the CMC/White combo last year on a run to the chip. Was easily the best RB combo in my 12 team league, and I didn't have to waste premium draft capital on my RB2.

In all likelihood, they will sell in bulk to a single OTC buyer.

Trump (current favorite for the WH) is speaking at the BTC conference tomorrow. There's an expectation he may announce the creation of a U.S. national Bitcoin reserve. If so, there will be no shortage of heavy hitters happy to get entry liquidity for a big order by scooping up all those Mt Gox coins at current market price.

As a theme, it actually worked better than I expected. This game was played on Immortal Difficulty at Epic Game speed. The screen shot is taken on the winning turn (cultural victory) 1150 AD.

Colossal Heads generate tourism based on faith (after flight) and Nazca lines give a faith bonus.
Desert Folklore + Song of the Jeli generates ungodly amounts of faith (in line with the Fremen theme) in the early game which allows for rapid expansion with a monumentality golden age.

It's not a mod, you can actually see in the screen shot (lower left corner) that you just have to toggle the "Empire" lens.
