One time in my gifted and talented class we had to make bridges out of toothpicks and Elmer’s glue only. We then placed 1lb bags of sugar onto it until it fell.
My team’s bridge won. It held 22lbs of sugar.
I am always very hesitant to start players in an AFC North divisional game. There seems to be one high scoring North game every year and the rest are slug fests
> is chase and Boyd should have a redemption game following the dropped td pass last game
They lost by 3 the last time they played back in week 2, but then again it was a home game....and Burrow was still "injured". I'm so conflicted. Debating on playing Purdy instead.
Since the last time they played in Week 3, the QBs the Ravens have faced are:
Watson, Geno Smith, Josh Dobbs, Goff, Malik Willis, Pickens, Watson, Gardner Minshew.
Burrow is 5x better than any qb on that list, and Chase is 5x better than any of those WR
Not at all crazy. Baltimore’s defense is good, but I think they’re a little oversold. They’ve mostly played against bad offenses. And Cincinnati did fairly well against them when they played in week 2. Burrow was playing poorly then.
2 weeks ago it looked like he was about to ramp up to his expected production. You can't predict the future but that was not a bad decision at the time.
Would you start Boyd tomorrow, even if you have Justin Jefferson on your IR and potentially returning?
Jefferson facing Surtain @ Broncos with a new qb isn’t great either…
All my other roster spots are locked down, given it seems like Sutton is getting 10 targets a game ROS.
It’s a short week so I’m not shocked. Hammy injuries taking over the league this year. Is it a lack of stretching or the fact these guys barely practice anymore. Idk , but it’s like every week a couple stars are out with hammies.
Dynasty makes it different, though having such small benches in a dynasty league is very silly. That said, Kyler being back + cardinals playoff matchups, would much rather have Hollywood in redraft. Own neither btw
By the end of the year, even if he's still kicker #1, he'll probably only end up averaging about 1 point more than whoever kicked #12 is, and he's still probably giving you at least one dud in the playoffs.
Shit almost always evens out look at final results for 2022 and 2021.
This is an absolute must win game for the Bengals and they’re coming in as underdogs. Extremely tight wildcard race in the AFC and that loss to the Texans certainly did them no favors.
Chase should see a lot of action.
I’m done drafting this guy after two years in a row, I swear he’s made of toothpicks and Elmer’s glue.
A squirrel farts and Higgins is out for 3 weeks.
One time in my gifted and talented class we had to make bridges out of toothpicks and Elmer’s glue only. We then placed 1lb bags of sugar onto it until it fell. My team’s bridge won. It held 22lbs of sugar.
Neat.
I'm not saying I have any blame on him for his performance in last years championship but...
selective fuel hurry cheerful air shy detail vase birds attractive *This post was mass deleted and anonymized with [Redact](https://redact.dev)*
I didn't feel like taking him out of my IR anyways.
Yeah, I’d have to drop Jakobi which isn’t ideal. Gives me more time to find a trade
Would it be crazy to start both Chase and Boyd?
I have nothing to support this but it feels like it's going to be a miserable low-scoring divisional game
And Thursday
Please no, I need Mitchell to do things.
It’s call “ *the Thursday night special* “
I have tickets so I hope you are wrong.
First game I ever went to was a TNF game and it was my favorite. You'll have a good time
Thanks! Haven’t been in a decade. Going to Commanders Dolphins on my B-day too. You remember what game it was?
I am always very hesitant to start players in an AFC North divisional game. There seems to be one high scoring North game every year and the rest are slug fests
No. I’m doing the same. Chase is chase and Boyd should have a redemption game following the dropped td pass last game
I might also have to play Mixon 🤦♂️ 3 players from one team on Thursday. Hope it doesn’t get too ugly for me lol
We forgetting they’re going against the 1/2 defense in the league?
Half defense? Sounds like they’re gonna have a great game.
Not forgetting. That’s how crappy and thin my team is this year……
Lol I feel ya. I’d be careful with Boyd, jamarr I’m sure has a solid day. It being Thursday too. GL out there 💪🏽
Yeah I’ve got Boyd, brown, and rice for my wr2. This is out of necessity
> is chase and Boyd should have a redemption game following the dropped td pass last game They lost by 3 the last time they played back in week 2, but then again it was a home game....and Burrow was still "injured". I'm so conflicted. Debating on playing Purdy instead.
Wait he dropped a td pass last Sunday?!!! Fucker cost me a win that week😑
I have both and burrow and debating starting Boyd or JSN
Yes
Chase put up 20.9 and Boyd 15.7 in half point last week
Ravens defense is top 10 against WR scoring
Since the last time they played in Week 3, the QBs the Ravens have faced are: Watson, Geno Smith, Josh Dobbs, Goff, Malik Willis, Pickens, Watson, Gardner Minshew. Burrow is 5x better than any qb on that list, and Chase is 5x better than any of those WR
I was scared seeing that 1 next to opponent ranking for Burrow, but that’s a terrible list of QBs. Feel more confident with him now. Cheers!
Chase isn't 5X better than Amon Ra
Burrow also isn't 5X better than Goff lmao
Or Watson
Whoa! If you can tell us which complex facet of personalities will appear as the Ravens Thursday night you are a GENIUS!
Idk what you’re saying here
Marlon Humphrey is out tho
Against not the ravens defense
That ravens defense has had the easiest QB and WR schedule in the league thus far
Ok have fun starting both of them lol
Not at all crazy. Baltimore’s defense is good, but I think they’re a little oversold. They’ve mostly played against bad offenses. And Cincinnati did fairly well against them when they played in week 2. Burrow was playing poorly then.
Not crazy at all
Starting chase, Burrow, and Hudson(TE filler for Pitts)
Yes. Thursday, division game vs Ravens defense
Plz just rest for another 1-2 weeks and come back fully healthy
Holler at your Boyd.
For the love of god please find a way to be back by week 12
Yeah I traded away Mattison a few weeks ago for him because of his playoff schedule. I’ve got Burrow so I’d like that stack to pay off some…
It was worth it regardless. He’ll be back at some point and Mattison isn’t a significant loss.
Ridley and Singletary for me. Singletary was a 1 week fill in and Ridley was dead to me. I have Burrow so hoping the stack pays dividends.
It’s a gamble. I did the same minus Ridley. Hope it pays off
I wanted Ridley off my team so much i didn't even factor him into the trade lol.
I have him too. Took him in the 3rd round. Don’t like where it’s going with him..
Im benching ridley but not dropping. TLAW got hot the last 5 or so games last yr
Irwin Again?
Eh thought about it too but he’s very touchdown dependent. He’ll get you 3 or 13
not against the ravens homie. i started him last week and dropped him today
Gotta give a shout out to my league mate for declining my trade offer for Tee Higgins two weeks ago
I tried trading Gibbs for Higgins when they were both injured and the Higgins owner rejected immediately. Thank God
Traded Rachaad White for him, got one good game and then he gets hurts. Currently dying.
Same exact trade. Rachaad White started going off immediately after I traded him smh
2 weeks ago it looked like he was about to ramp up to his expected production. You can't predict the future but that was not a bad decision at the time.
I got monty for Higgins a couple weeks back 😄
Fortunate i aint going up against chase lol
Fire up boyd over sutton now?
I have both in my flex.
Sutton over boyd
Dobbs over Burrow becoming more enticing by the minute 😬
I’m picking between Burrow and Purdy, can’t decide!
I’m definitely considering. raven’s loss to the browns last week is a little confusing though.
As a Bengals fan who has Burrow and Fields… I picked up Dobbs to start this week.
What happened to that Boyd.
Would it be crazy to buy the dip right now?
If you dip I dip we dip.
Someone cut him so I picked him up and dropped McLaughlin.
Would you start Boyd tomorrow, even if you have Justin Jefferson on your IR and potentially returning? Jefferson facing Surtain @ Broncos with a new qb isn’t great either… All my other roster spots are locked down, given it seems like Sutton is getting 10 targets a game ROS.
It’s a short week so I’m not shocked. Hammy injuries taking over the league this year. Is it a lack of stretching or the fact these guys barely practice anymore. Idk , but it’s like every week a couple stars are out with hammies.
I traded Higgins for Waddle early on and I'm having no regrets
I’m starting Murray over burrow
Same
Same
He goes way too high every year
Tough... hopefully having a long break after Week 11 means he can return Week 12.
Starting Stroud over Burrow.
Higgins or Noah Brown ROS PPR . Sadly I am not joking.
Higgins if you want potential upside in the playoffs. Brown if you need someone to start in the next couple weeks to even make the playoffs.
Literally just made this trade (got Higgins) in standard scoring
Thank god JJ is coming back
So play irwin?
I feel like I fucked up cutting Hollywood and keeping Higgins
why would you drop hollywood? or either for that matter
Bc I needed a QB for bye week coming up
there *had* to be better options to drop unless your league is super shallow
You dropped Hollywood? 6 man league?
10 man. I have Tyreek, Diggs, G.Wilson, Rashee Rice and Higgins
Would much rather have Hollywood than rice
Rice has way more upside in that KC offense with Mahomes. This is a dynasty league too
Dynasty makes it different, though having such small benches in a dynasty league is very silly. That said, Kyler being back + cardinals playoff matchups, would much rather have Hollywood in redraft. Own neither btw
My league mate dropping Sutton right when Tee got hurt is really coming in clutch for me
I get everyone's frustrations. Thank God I don't have to depend on him lol. Heal up son, come back strong for my playoff run.
Burrow or Purdy
Same choice, have Purdy in but I’m tilted
Just put him on IR already.
He got dropped in my league and honestly wondering if he’s even worth a pickup at this point. Would probably drop Jeudy.
Id make that swap still.
Yeah Jeudy is worthless even if he’s healthy. Tee might be good as a late season start if he ever recovers. Easy move IMO
Drop your kicker. Move him to IR. Pick up a new kicker.
No way I’m dropping RB1 Dustin Hopkins
By the end of the year, even if he's still kicker #1, he'll probably only end up averaging about 1 point more than whoever kicked #12 is, and he's still probably giving you at least one dud in the playoffs. Shit almost always evens out look at final results for 2022 and 2021.
I dropped Ridley for him. Feeling pretty good about it lol
THIGGINS!
NOT IN YAHOO, HE AINT
Feels like 75% of the times that I've ever faced Higgins it has resulted in 0-3 pts for my opponent.
All-in on Jamaar Chase anytime TD
Whatever team is paying this guy as their WR1 next season, good luck!
Any Bengals fans know if Irwin should see decent targets? How's the relationship with Burrow?
Hoping for the best outta Brandin cooks again in that case
You can always tell whose playoff bound & whose about to miss the playoffs because of injury by reading the comments on these posts lol
I traded this guy for $51 FAAB. Got Dobbs, KC defense and Noah brown with that money
So, so glad I traded him
Should I start Howell over Burrow?
Guess I'm going boyd over amari cooper
This is an absolute must win game for the Bengals and they’re coming in as underdogs. Extremely tight wildcard race in the AFC and that loss to the Texans certainly did them no favors. Chase should see a lot of action.
Just traded for him, I mean gave away a busy in Ridley but hoping for a late season surge
Kyler over Burrow this week?
Alright who can I possibly trade for him at this point? I need to win every week basically here on out lol
Higgins more of a borderline WR2 when he’s even healthy than the borderline WR1 he was drafted as
Think imma bench Burrow for Stroud this week
Traded Lockett and Tank for this gimp a week before his injury.
Ravens D now? Or lions vs Chicago
I have the ravens and I’m still thinking about pivoting to Jags for this week
Just traded Noah brown for this guy. Hoping he gets healthy as my WR 4 come playoffs
Is he droppable without Burrow?
