Week 17 Thread

Michael Thomas OUT
Jarvis Landry OUT
Marshon Lattimore OUT

Looks like Arizona didn't have any trouble getting Hopkins re-engaged in the offense. 10 catches on 14 targets....not a ton of yards, but that's still a nice game in a PPR league.

Elijah Moore, who's in his 2nd season in the NFL, has demanded a trade from the Jets because even though they're 4-2, he's throwing a hissy fit over his usage. He's inactive this week.

Whoops- totally forgot to update my roster and started James Conner last night.

Good news is my opponent was similarly asleep at the switch and started Michael Thomas last night. Hooray for apathy!

JK Dobbins knee surgery, out 4-to-6 weeks

G-Men 6-1?!?
Jets 5-2?!?

G-Men 6-1?!?
Jets 5-2?!?

Yeah, no one would have predicted that. Credit to both coaches - it's clear they've built the teams to their vision of what they want to do on the field.

On the bad side, I know the Packers are in full-throated panic mode and would expect the Bucs are as well.

The Packers have killed me this year.

I expected AJ Dillon to get a lot more touches, Doubs to gain the confidence of Rodgers, and of course, Rodgers to spin his usual magic. Dillon is a disaster, Doubs can't get going, and Rodgers magic has run out.

Rising star Breece Hall tore his ACL and will miss the remainder of the season

The Packers have killed me this year.

Heh...you and me both, though for different reasons. I avoided Packer players like the plague in my fantasy leagues.

expected AJ Dillon to get a lot more touches, Doubs to gain the confidence of Rodgers, and of course, Rodgers to spin his usual magic. Dillon is a disaster, Doubs can't get going, and Rodgers magic has run out.

Sadly, I think there's something naggingly wrong with Dillon. He's been great in pass protection, and decent out of the backfield, but he lacks the one-cut burst he had last year. That, on top of the terrible inside OL blocking, has just doomed him in the rushing game.

I will say Doubs has Rodgers confidence. But opponents have figured out he's the best receiver on the team right now, so he's facing their best CBs, two-high shells shifted to his side, or both. He's just not good enough at this point to beat that kind of coverage very much. If either Lazard or Watkins were playing at all well, it would really help remedy the situation, but that's probably not happening for a while. Combine that with Rodgers thumb injury, and Doubs production has really been hit.

James Robinson traded to the Jets for a 5th

Kudos to the Jets. They're not screwing around.

Best tweet of Week 7:

"I can't believe the Packers didn't draft McLaurin" - Jace Sternberger

Sternberger was the player the Packers took instead of McLaurin.
