I thought it was ridiculous Aiyuk was going in the 4th round. Maybe not.
I'm not the guy who drafts 50 leagues, but I should have gotten more Ridley when he was there in the fourth round.
If the NFL is gonna allow players to wear the number zero like Calvin Ridley, they should also allow the infinity symbol.
The DAZN GamePass switch not off to a good start. Unable to stream individual games to my laptop while watching red-zone on main TV. Not gonna cut it.
The NFHell -- bring it bitches.
Starting to feel like this Round 11 pick was pound-foolish. On the bright side, he can't get hurt if he's inactive.

Have Danny Dimes home vs Cowboys in ahead of Anthony Richardson home vs Jags right now, but the implied totals are about the same for both. With no Jonathan Taylor, and not even Zach Moss, have to think Richardson is involved in a high percentage of the Colts' scoring plays. Probably sticking with Dimes who I think is underrated, but Cowboys defense might be good.
Need two of three, Elijah Moore, Michael Thomas and Kyle Pitts. Right now have Pitts on the bench because I have no idea what that offense will look like, but could go with any two of the three. Could check fantasy pros for their flex rankings, but better not to know. That way, if I switch Thomas out for Pitts, it'll be due to my own instincts and not from some midwit consensus.
Felt like Russell Wilson over Rodgers was an easy call, given the matchups, but checking the game totals (and implied points via the spread), it's 50/50. I had Wilson, so I won't switch it, but Rodgers does love to throw inside the five.
Found myself sneaking a peak at twitter to get in on the pre-game chatter. Bad idea. Better not to know what some nerds are thinking and get swayed last minute into a dumb decison. Just stick with RotoWire for info and your own instincts. Make your own mistakes, learn from them. Ignore the spread sheet jockeys.
I'm nervous. Feel like I'm about to get rugged big time today.
Cooper Kupp is this year's Michael Thomas. It was true in 2021, and it's true in 2023 too.
US Open Observations
"From Gauff’s unbelievable show of heart yesterday to two players responding to hate and bigotry to arrive in this final in the land of the free."
Gauff's VO Max has to be on the level of an Olympic miler. She's gonna have run 20K by the end of this.
Sabalenka is like Serena Willams -- total beast. Gauff has a lot of heart. Haven't watched a women's tennis match in a while. but picked a good ome.
Gauff is fun to watch -- she gets to everything. Unbelievable range. But hard to win on defense alone.
First set of Sabalenka vs Gauff is like Drago vs Apollo Creed.
Top of the tight end board for Week 1:
Travis Kelce (out)
Mark Andrews (questionable)
Darren Waller (questionable)
TJ Hockenson
George Kittle (questionable)
What a minefield.
Really pisses me off this is a Sunday night game -- will have to make a total guess whether or not to use him. What a flat tire.
Djokovic vs Medvedev in the US Open final is one player banned from 2022 US Open and Australian Open not injecting himself as commanded and the other from 2022 Wimbledon due to his ethnicity. Very heartening to see.
