He is doing this all to himself...

You know. I met him back in the day when I worked for Dave & Buster's. He would come in with some people, always get everything comped and he would be treated like a king. Then he left the person taking care of him no tip. Guys a stuck up prissy princess.

Yeah, I knew the risk I was taking when drafting him, though I did get him for relatively cheap. I did expect him to at least wait until week 1 was over to get canned haha. Something just isn’t right with his head tbh.

Ive always wondered if that was something that was lurking in him just waiting to come out, or if the fame and success caused him to start to feel that way, you know? Nature v nurture.

Whatever it was, I think this probably had something to do with his declining mental health: https://youtu.be/o8iFSP_S5h8

It all comes full circle I guess.

Seeing as how >99% of deceased NFL players who were tested post mortem were positive for CTE, I’d say no.

Yep, it’s not a sample of all NFL players ever, but it’s definitely not good regardless. https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jama/f ... le/2645104

In the meantime, I guess AB is playing Monday night (no suspension) so he’s back on my active roster. In other news, anyone wanna trade their WR1 for AB?

Pats or Texans. Preferably Texans

ESPN says he signed for a year with the pats. That’s great for my fantasy team but absolutely terrible for my personal preferences.

Sat Sammy Watkins today and instead flexed Kenyan Drake. Yikes.

Shoutouts to Austin Ekeler for saving my butt this week!

Lol the AB saga continues: somehow he made it to my IR and now I have to wait to activate him til 3am, but that means I have an invalid player on my IR so I can’t even bid on players until he’s off...

Yeah it’s a bit of a gamble but I don’t like their matchups over the next few weeks. Plus going back to the point that there are tons of good-enough QBs that it doesn’t make sense to have 2 on my roster in my opinion.

He plays Chicago once more, and the Vikings once more after this week. Granted a lot of those matchups are late in the season but honestly I don’t see much upside in keeping him til then. Maybe I’ll eat my words haha

Edit: comment about the Broncos was dumb. Idk why I thought their defense was great. Can you tell it's my first time playing FF?

Well that ended about as poorly as it could’ve. Anyone wanna trade for Cam Newton? Lol
