I have to fill in the DEN and DAL lines later.

Last week 8-7-1 +7.2u
 
Cleveland or Miami will get their 1st win. What a concept.

And it's on at 1pm. I'll be drinking craft beer (Hop Gun).

ESPN's Josina Anderson reports Adrian Peterson will undergo surgery to repair his torn meniscus on Thursday and will be out a "minimum" of 3-4 months.

Per Anderson, Peterson has what's known as a "bucket handle tear." He's likely headed to season-ending I.R. with a recovery that "usually" requires six months of rehab. At best, it sounds like Peterson could maybe play in the playoffs if the Vikings make it. But in all likelihood, this is Jerick McKinnon and Matt Asiata'a backfield the remainder of 2016. With just one year left on his contract and set to count $18 million against the cap in 2017, we may have seen Peterson's last carry in a Vikings uniform. He'll turn 32 next March with two serious knee injuries on his record. The Vikings can clear all $18 million off the salary cap by releasing Peterson after the season.

Lions placed RB Ameer Abdullah on injured reserve with a foot injury.

The nature of Abdullah's foot injury is still unknown, but he spent Tuesday in North Carolina visiting with renowned foot/ankle specialist, Dr. Robert Anderson. With the league's new IR rules, Abdullah can be activated after eight weeks if the Lions make him their designated for return player. But he's out at least the next two months.

what? once or twice every year, seattle plays sf and immediately feels better about itself.

it's york/baalke's gift

sf will have to somehow dominate both lines for them to have even a tiny chance sunday

Playing SF usually has been an amazing panacea, so it wouldn't surprise me to see Seattle get back on track against them. Between the shitty play calling, terrible O-line, and banged up RW, this is a game that SF could easily walk away with.

Seattle has dealt with line issues in the past, but generally they were really good run blocking. Not so much this year. Throw in the fact that RW is playing on one ankle, it is easy to stack the box and force them to win passing. Granted, they can do that as last year showed, BUT for some reason Bevell forgot about the last 8 weeks of the previous season and decided to move back to this stupid horizontal passing game rather than slants and/or taking advantage of timing throws across the middle of the field.

It is going to take the line gelling, Bevell pulling his head out of his ass, and RW healing up a bit, before I feel confident winning games against any opponent. I think it happens, it just remains to be seen how big of a hole Seattle has to dig themselves out of, when it happens. Fortunately, there are a lot of teams with similar issues around the NFC.
 
week 3 question specifically:

jay ajayi vs cle

or charles sims vs la rams ??


la front is obv better than cle. but sims has v little competition (even tho they signed jacquizz today) -- and i worry kenyan drake could steal carries from jay.

most projections have both solidly between 8-11 pts standard.

thoughts?
 
sims will get more carries, and rams run d isn't exactly dominating yet.

also


Coach Adam Gase suggested the Dolphins could use a full-blown running back by committee with Arian Foster (groin) likely out Week 3 against the Browns.

Gase added that practice this week will determine who gets the start. With Foster expected to sit, the Dolphins are left with Jay Ajayi, Kenyan Drake, Damien Williams, and Isaiah Pead. Gase went on to talk about each back's strengths on Wednesday. It's conceivable it could be a straight-up rotational backfield and hot-hand approach. Through two games, the Dolphins have the third-fewest rushing attempts as a team. This is simply a situation to avoid. Ryan Tannehill and the receivers are far more attractive fantasy options Week 3.

call me crazy but I think PHI could cover at +3.5. They have a good D and finally a stable QB. The offense isn't potent, but its productive. Last time I bet against PIT to fade the public I lost, though, but 2u PHI anyway.
