Question for Fantasy football guys. This kid writes for Sodo mojo so I follow him. Every Sunday morning he asks these FF "Experts" who he should have start and I assume he takes their advice and plays whoever they tell him to. What is the point of that? Does he celebrate when he has a good week just using other peoples picks. People are a trip.
I read and gather all the intel I can, and make a call based on that, but in the end it’s my choice. Any Fantasy “expert” worth their salt will tell you just that.

The bigger part of fantasy, IMO, is drafting players and making moves to add and remove during the season. Start Sit is only a big deal because you added the players you are choosing to start or sit.

Interesting. Thanks. I am glad I retired after one season with my Randy Moss pick his rookie year. Jesus that was 25 years ago.

Starting to think Bienemy didn't get nearly enough credit for the Chiefs success on Offense!

WTF was that? Bad snap on 4th down? I am cursed this year. Why did they stop giving it to Mostert? Dumb-asses.

The point is the guy can't make up his mind. People today need validation before they put a toe in the water. Very little "here is what I think and damn the consequences" type of thinking. I know I try and teach my students that

That’s too easy. He needed to get Jeff Wilson touches, just like on 2nd and short Reid went with Peirine and then brought in McKinnon so he could throw incomplete instead of having Pacheco simple move the chains. Honestly? It’s all ego….they’d rather hear how creative they are than just win the game.

Waldron is even worse. I’ll never get over last week. I’m done with Shayne. I know I broke it all down, but Russ had to be reigned back with MVP type 27 TD and 6 pick numbers after 7 games and a 6 and 1 start. But at 5 and 2 and 9 TDs and 6 Picks? No word about Geno throwing it too much, just the typical coach BS “we need to run it more”. No fucking shit Pete. Geno tried his damndest to lose last week. The Browns just tried harder to lose.

Why? Because he is gathering information before making a decision? I have a money manager. He might reach out to me about things he wants to do, but I do nothing without his advice. You know? The expert paid to know this stuff. This guy is a regular Joe and asking the opinion of someone paid to have that information. It’s actually smart.

Agree. I'm done with Waldron too. Unfortunately he isn't done with us...
