Falcons WR Julio Jones (hamstring) is out.

I may be the last person to know this, but in case I am not - ESPN has a lite version with no video, big pref for me

Really wish now that i had started Chase Claypool instead of Sammy "my hammy" Watkins. I knew Claypool would break out eventually. But, even i didn't think it would be a 4 touchdown breakout.

The Athletic's Jeff Schultz reports Falcons head coach Dan Quinn will be fired Monday or Tuesday.

[madducks]

49ers QB Jimmy Garoppolo benched in the 2nd half against the Dolphins.

Dak Prescott our in the cart- looks very bad. Looks like a season ending broken leg or ankle

[Mithrandir]

The Jets became only the 4th team in last 30 seasons to lose first 5 games by multiple scores (first since 2013 Jaguars), per @ESPNStatsInfo

And now Dalvin Cook to the locker room with what appears to be a groin injury.

[chancellor]

The Jets are at a level of incompetence that simply staggers the mind. There's other bad teams, but the Jets simply aren't even remotely competitive.

Of course, they'd only be a couple games out in the NFC East.

Falcons fired both Dan Quinn & GM Thomas Dimitroff.

Rich McKay takes the GM job on an interim basis, and from what I read, Raheem Morris is the most likely successor as interim coach.

[madducks]

Saints WR Michael Thomas is out Monday night.

NFL Network's Tom Pelissero reports that Michael Thomas' rule out for Monday night's game against the Chargers is for "disciplinary reasons."

ESPN's Adam Schefter reports Thomas "had an altercation with a teammate at practice this weekend."

Thomas was already questionable due to his high-ankle sprain from week 1 which has caused him to miss 4 games now.

3 games I watched this week I question 4th and 1 plays in each game.

TB goes for it on their own 20 in the 1st quarter and makes it. and then on their last possession down by one with enough time for CHI to get the ball and drive for a FG to win, TB kicks a FG on 4 and 1 for a 2 point lead. it's not that the decision's were wrong but it just seemed CHI was going to drive for a winning FG.

Raiders with an 8 point lead go for it on KC's 40 and make it and KC never gets the chance to drive for a potential TD and game tying 2-pt conversion.

MIN with a 5 point lead opts to go for it instead of kick a FG for an 8 point lead with 2 min's left and doesn't make it. instead of making Russell Wilson drive down the field and even if they score a TD and got the 2 pt conversion the game would be tied. Wilson throws a TD pass with almost no time left on 4 and 10 and the 2 pt attempt fails and SEA wins.

- DK Metcalf is a Top 5 WR right now, and may end up as a the #1 overall WR by season's end
- The NY teams are 0-10, LOL
- Speaking of that, how does Adam Gase still have a job??
- Indy needs to go back to Jacoby Brissett
- while Lamar Jackson has been far from a disaster, he has been arguably the biggest fantasy disappointment of the season
- with no real Philly WRs to speak of (besides now the surprising Travis Fulgham), the disappearance of Zach Ertz is mind-boggling
