Preseason is over. Fantasy football drafts have started. Cut day is tomorrow. The NFL continuing down the pay-per-view path. Figured I'd open another thread. Who are your fantasy must own or sleepers?

He is an excellent 'game manager', but that might get perceived as an insult. Near 4 year starter at Iowa State, he knows his crap. That team is loaded, making runs. Rooting for them if KC can't repeat.

Browns with a huge W. 3rd String QB gets the W with Watson a "healthy" scratch for the second straight week.

Oof, the Deshaun Watson trade looking like the worst trade ever
It's the Browns being the Browns

Deshaun's guaranteed money is what is so painful. Sure, give the guy a 2nd chance if you can rationalize that and live with yourself. Ok. But handing him $230M no matter what is just another feather in the hat of Browns bad decisions.
On another note, I saw something that the Giants scored their first touchdown at home this season so far lol. And it was the first touchdown in the 1st half this season? In the 7th game? Yikes.

Pretty sure Watson said he didn't want to go to Cleveland before they agreed to terms. I think the contract was the only way they'd get him to waive his no trade clause.
On the radio they said it was the Giants first (offensive?) TD since Sept 21st.

Not much of a Football fan, but I do enjoy seeing Buffalo struggle. I guess part of it was I never really found a team I could cheer for. The closest was Maybe Seattle do to proximity.

Loud mouth Buffalo fans. There was that one guy here years ago, but my dislike of Buffalo sports team's predates that. Went to school with an obnoxious Bill's fan, worked with some nut ball Buffalo Sabres/Bills fans. they just rub me the wrong way. It seems to be a common thing that the vast majority of the Buffalo fans I have come into contact with have all been some of the worst examples of sports fans.

It does my heart good to know I am among fellow Bills/Ohio State dislike-ers solely due to their fanbases. Though, every fanbase has their share.

This, a 1000 times this. I've had many friends and colleagues who were fans of bitter rivals in all sports, college and pro, and save for 1 they all kept it friendly. As a former STH, I can say some of the home fans were worse than some of the visiting fans. The much higher percentage was good though, it was just a few bad apples.

Interesting week. Texans flexing. I certainly didn't expect them in playoff contention. Stroud playing very well. Purdy back on track. Dobbs incredibly played well with 10 days on the team. Cleveland owns the Ravens.

Wouldn’t be too upset if they clean this falcons staff out. Almost two wasted years with indecisive draft picks and still no QB stepping up. It’s the inability to go with a plan that’s really frustrating. These are bad decisions.

I feel you Feeb, I feel whole heartedly that this is the worst Pats team the nation has seen in 25+ years. Usually I feel like the Giants are the "what the hell is this team doing" team. This year, it's the Pats...the personnel is wrong, players aren't living up to expectations, finding new and interesting ways to lose. It's the Pats this year.
Terrible in FA
Terrible QB options. Mac Jones is making high school level embarrassing decisions, coaching staff embarrassing themselves putting in Zappe in a two minute drill after the starting QB made a debacle of the whole thing.
No true WR1
Run game I like and the defense is good, except our two best skill players are out for the season, Judon and rookie Christian Gonzales.
Just a rough, rough season. Pats had it coming.
In other news, Josh Dobbs and the Vikings are rallying and have a lot of momentum, I'm happy for them. Stroud is the first Ohio State QB to hit the ground running in the NFL in a long long time....maybe ever. I hope he keeps it up.

Yeah the pats are in free fall post Brady. That situation is pretty tough because Bill has kinda earned the unlimited time. Still there is a limit to fans’ patience.

Maybe I'm being a boomer but QB play across the league just feels terrible this year. Obviously some guys are still good but it gets rough fast after the top guys.

I think it’s because there is an abundance of young QBs and “sheltered” QBs. Those that came up on bad teams and worked with untrusting staff and limited playbook. Falcons (smith philosophy in general) are a prime example of a system that makes / shelters bad QBs the last few years. They never grow and/ or are not allowed to and it’s awful to watch.

^ This.
Last night Chris Collinsworth said that Zach Wilson should be looking at half the field right now. WTF are you talking about? He's been in the league three years. If you can't go through all of your reads and assess the defense at this point, it's done.
