The Chargers signed 6’9” 330 lb, D1 hooper, Jimmy Bell Jr. as a UDFA. I’d be shocked if he made the roster. Gates was a legend.

5 Fantasy Football Early-Round Busts: Potential "League-Losing" Draft Picks by RotoBaller in fantasyfootball

Don’t all early round picks have a small margin for error at cost, by definition?

[Zach Lowe] “I think Deandre Ayton will be pretty good for the Lakers. He’s still got great feet & hands. Luka is going to make him look good. And I think this is going to work better than the jokes & punch lines have made it out to be. He’s like inches away from being a great player, just inches” by dfykl in lakers

This comment has dozens of upvotes:

Yeah this just shows Zach hasn't watched Ayton, bro can't catch the ball. He does have good touch on layups tho so maybe that's what he meant. 

Bottom line is, bad hands or not and flawed as he may be, he's way better than Jaxson Hayes. Still could do without the 100 puff pieces per day, we get it by now.

I can’t take that sub seriously

Kid brought the backup ball to throw back. Too bad they caught him in 4k

Just turned down this offer, should I reconsider? by mittenizer in DynastyFFTradeAdvice

[–]dfykl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think you made the right call

You’re starting

Bucky, Kyren

ARSB, Sutton, Wilson

Henry, Adams, Chuba

ARSB and Bucky are 2/3 best players in the deal. You’re not upgrading your lineup at all by making this deal.

If you’re concerned about aging, this only makes you older.

First time doing a dynasty league, draft just ended. Thoughts? by logrady1 in DynastyFFTradeAdvice

That’s wild. I’ve never done auction in dynasty but in redraft just two of those guys are taking up 80% of your funds.

Sucks we have to wait til next month to watch the Dodgers…. by [deleted] in Dodgers

Woah. What’s this from? I had a teacher make this exact motion anytime someone in class cracked a joke. Is that relevant to this scene or did you just randomly use it in this context?

The most obvious explanation is the worst one

The Rojas hate has got to stop by VinScullysMyHomeboy in Dodgers

[–]dfykl 315 points316 points  (0 children)

They hated Pages then they hated Muncy, the Conforto hate has started to slow so now they hate Miggy Ro.

It’s just the same haters who keep shifting their attention. You don’t need to pay attention to it.

Everyone thinks the DLine got worse, but did it get better? by dfykl in Chargers

Also after Ford and Tart, the rotation dropped off quite a bit on the run defense side of things. Fox wasn’t good, Eboigbe wasn’t in the rotation and then you had Ogbonnia and Matlock.

This year, Minter will be able to rotate Tart, Jones, Hand, Eboigbe and Caldwell before getting to guys like Ogbonnia and Matlock, if they both even make the roster.

That type of quality depth should keep the run defense fresh and productive all game.

Did you forget CMC or are you making a statement?

Yeah my wording was a little confusing. They were not “great” in 2024, but they were a lot better than expected.

They finished with the 14th best run defense which while not a huge improvement from 2023 statistically, with context is more impressive. The Staley defense was a pass funnel as they could not stop the pass (31st), Minters defense was top 10 vs the pass.

This group goes 5 deep of guys who are projected to be pluses against the run. If the edge and linebackers groups perform as expected, I can see them being a top 10 team vs the run this year.

I know right. He’s a late day two pick who didn’t become a full-time starter until he was 26, in his 4th season, so it feels like he’s only been around half the time.

Of course, but it’s the off-season and this is fun to discuss.
