do you every look back at a trade that felt inconsequential at the time and want to die?

@FootballStock to be fair, Ruggs was starting to break out right before he did the terrible thing that ended his career.
Reagor - could easily be top 5 for convincing folks he was the better choice than Justin Jefferson (in real life and fantasy 😉)
English
Extended to top 15:
11. Jalen Reagor (arguably top 5)
12. Henry Ruggs III
13. Trey Sermon
14. Zach Wilson
15. Rashod Bateman? Trey Benson?
Headed towards bust ville:
JJ McCarthy, Kaleb Johnson
Still have hope:
Travis Hunter, Marvin Harrison & Jonathon Brooks

Who is the biggest bust in dynasty rookie draft history?
English
I'm not the most adept at deconstructing these metaphorical name salads. but this must be a good thing.
Year 1 NYJ Bmarsh: 109-1512-12
Year 1 CHI Arob: 55-754-4 (1st season post-ACL tear, went on to average 100 catches and 1200 yards over the next two seasons before withering.)

Steelers Michael Pittman is the Jets Brandon Marshall of Bears Allen Robinsons

This Alexander Ovechkin goal was insane:

What's the most athletic play you've ever seen in any sport?

@WyattB_FF Braylon Edwards can go on that list. I continued to believe for too long that he'd build on that magical 2007-08 season.
English
@SlimCliffy Best puck was a tad too rich for my blood at $15/pop. I did max enter The Penalty Box and advanced half my teams - 10/20, which is the best i've ever achieved in something like that. Late round Leo Carlsson a big reason for it. Good luck!
English
drafted 22 teams for Underdog's Best Puck Classic, got 12 through to the quarter-finals. Pretty happy with that. From here on out, we are big, big Ducks and Sharks fans.
English
Not surprising. I ran into an instance of similar shadiness of this last Summer in DK Bestball. Reported to DK’s Game Integrity department. They said they’d look into it, but no action was taken.
Justin Herzig@JustinHerzig
the number one reason I hear from people preferring underdog playoff best ball to DK is the concern of collusion would go a long way for DK to publicly state this type of drafting is against the rules and will be thrown out
English
Agree with most of this. I'd love just two primetime games per week. The one on Sunday Night, and one on Monday night (no double-headers, esp not at overlapping times).
Keep the Turkey Day games, obviously.

Fixing the NFL regular season: Eliminate TNF It blows & we don't need all the ads Eliminate International games Too early, it blows, & we don't need all the ads Eliminate SNF Too late & we don't need all the ads MNF doubleheaders every week Allows us escape from all the ads

@DevyEusuf Traded a late 26 3rd and Wicks for him 2 months ago when I needed a WR to cover bye weeks. Feels great.
English
@FAmmiranteTFJ The Michael Clayton fall-off was a bit more drastic.
English
Ladd McConkey 🤝 Michael Clayton
Only uncs like me will get the reference
English
You might consider a WW TE in a championship round lineup - options include:
- Terrance Ferguson with Davante Adams still out
- Triple Threat Taysom Hill
- Hunter Henry (esp if Kayshon Boutte is out)
- Chig Okonkwo coming off an 8 tgt, 6-44-1 game
- even Elijah Higgins vs CIN?
English
@CJTDevil Admittedly I am not in the weeds like you are but being "behind" Juolevi (Olli Juolevi?) in any metric seems bad no matter the context.
English
A lot of comments like "they're 21 years old what do you expect?!"
I don't know where people got the idea that it's unfair to expect a top 5 draft pick to be very good very fast.
Here's EVERY top 5 defenseman drafted in the decade leading up to Nemec.
Folks. They're BEHIND.
Mr White@MrWhite1079
@CJTDevil Matthew Schaefer is in the same mold as Cale Makar. Expecting Nemec and Luke to be anywhere close to that is probably why you’re writing what you are today.
English
@Beebsbondy His shooting pct is a whopping 22.2 - 4 goals on his last 4 shots on net. There are worse roles to have than PP1 with Celebrini though.
English
How good is PP1 John Klingberg (32%
owned) right now?
5 Goals in his last 5 games (and we’re only 7 minutes into tonight’s matchup vs. CGY).
Hope you scooped him when he was suggested early. He won’t be available even this low for long.

@FAmmiranteTFJ It’s no Jaws: The Revenge but it’s up there on the list of sequels/reboots nobody asked for or wanted.

Gladiator 2 was one of the worst movies I've ever seen
Culture Crave 🍿@CultureCrave
Russell Crowe slams 'Gladiator 2' "[It's] a really unfortunate example of even the people in that engine room not actually understanding what made the first one special ... It wasn’t the circumstance. It wasn’t the action. It was the moral core" He did not like that Lucius was Maximus' illegitimate son "So you’re saying at the same time he had this relationship with his wife, he was fucking this other girl? ... What are you talking about? It's crazy" (via @triplej)
English
@WyattB_FF Brian Thomas has to be one of the most nut low 1st round fantasy picks in recent memory that didn't bust purely due to injury. Worse than Allen Robinson in 2016. Nothing good ever comes from Jags receivers not named Jimmy Smith.
English
No one is talking about how good Tyler Shough looked in his last start.
English
I have never understood why "no dynasty trade deadlines" is ever even an argument, and probably never will.
In general, I feel like if @SafeLeagues doesn't allow something (in this case, abolishment of a trade deadline), it is probably not a good idea anyhow.
Jacob Rickrode@ClutchFantasy
@GuruFantasyWrld Some playoff team trades for CMC or Henry in week 15 and cruises to a championship, playoff integrity gone. It’s a legal way to buy a championship. It’s the exact reason the NFL doesn’t allow it.
English
@FAmmiranteTFJ Not to mention if Brissett is gonna be slinging it 45 times per game since their RB room is a mess.
English
@FAmmiranteTFJ idk but a 3rd round pick seemed like the right price to find out (coincidentally I traded away Darnold (SF league) for Rico and a 26 3rd in the same league a few weeks ago). Currently in a battle for a playoff spot.
English
What if Michael Wilson is the WR version of Rico Dowdle?
