I like to look at ESPN's power rank because it's usually pretty funny. Arizona lost to Landry Jones and Michael Vick last week but rose 2 spots. The Steelers dropped a spot. The 4-2 Cardinals jumped the 6-0 Bengals and are also ranked above the 5-0 Panthers. I wish I could get paid to write stuff like that I was a Bengals doubter before this past week, but boy oh boy they have changed my opinion of them. They looked unstoppable on offense and at least capable on defense. I think they're a top 3 team easily, and perhaps a top 2 team depending on your opinion of Green Bay.
I'm waiting for a decent prime time opponent before I take them seriously
EDIT: I guess that probably won't happen this season looking at their schedule. 3 primetime games and it's all garbage teams (wk 16 against the broncos would be the toughest?)

dont worry...browns will beat the bengals once this year and confuse the shit outta everybody that's backing cincy

I'm never convinced with regular season wins. I haven't seen an iteration of Dalton yet who didn't shit his pants when he needs to come up big. Regular season wins mean nothing, really.

Would you trade steve smith and arian foster for antonio brown in a ppr league or is this too much?

I need some advice. What to do when the league manager gets kicked out/leaves midseason?
It was just found out our league manager IRL is doing some very bad things where our friend group had to cut contact with him. The problem is this is a some what high money league. We have a co-manager and another person willing to take over the team, what our options?
Are there leagues where you can input all the teams and players and start from week 7?

Steve Smith is arguably almost as good as AB on his own since he's basically the only good player on the Ravens. He's definitely better as long as Big Ben is out. Then to throw in a probably top 5 back? No way!

I went with Falcons > Titans but I've already missed this season. just going on for fun to see how I end up. I've used Dolphins, Rams, Panthers, Raiders (my fault for missing this one forgot to change after Cutler ended up being named starter), Cardinals, and Jets

It all depends on who the RB you would be replacing Foster with is and who the WR Brown would be replacing is. I presume it's Smith?

I used dolphins, skins, pats, panthers, falcons then the vikes. My biggest fluke was picking skins second week I originally locked it as joke on a friend who was a seahawks fan saying that if the rams could barely beat them they must be awful. Then I kinda forgot and figured emotional letdown who knows. Then the whole NFL had a day where every upset when won and I survived!
I picked Arizona this week. I always seem to overthink these kinds of pools and am just using the best teams. It's going to be tough in a few weeks, but it helps to know I'm safe until like Week 8.

Maybe Kaepernick should work on his throwing mechanics.

I think the only reason Kearse didn't get a touchdown was he was so wide open he wasted time looking for somebody to avoid.

Yeah that was so dumb. He was like 10 yards behind the defense

This sf team is pretty bad, but I still feel like a better coach and QB and this is an 8-8 team. You can see a few talented guys out there in this garbage heap.

Did anyone really have any expectations after the moves they made this summer and the amazingly hilarious (introductory?) press conference their new coach gave. That was the highlight of the off season...

I feel like most bad teams are a better coach and qb away from 8-8

This is specifically why $ is collected before hand, so I hope you did that.
Years ago I remember having a mid season leave. the Commish just basically started his highest projected guys the rest of the season. I think that's the most fair way to do it. Alternatively, just let that guy take over his team is fair. Both of those scenarios don't punish everyone else. I would not start a new league at week 7. That completely jobs the people who paid and were doing well.

Way too much. Brown will obviously be better, but right now he's a buy low guy because of how bad they've been with Vick in. His last 3 games combined he has less yards than Steve Smith in his last game. Even if you think the Real Brown is closer to the first 3 games (you'd be right assuming ben is back), Smith is averaging over 100 yds a game and will probably see the most volume out of any WR not named Hopkins.
On top of that, you are throwing in a clear cut top 5 back who is good for 100+ total yards each week and doesn't have a realistic threat to his touches.
There is no way I'd be making this trade without getting a pretty good second piece in return. For persective, I got ODB + Blount for Lacy + Baldwin a week ago. ODB has been better over the last 3 weeks, and probably has as high of a ceiling as Brown.

Where is this talent??
The only genuinely good players I see are on the left side of the line, Hyde, Reid, Lynch, Bowman, Bathea, Brooks... everyone else is a replacement level player at this point. Both lines overall are awful, the LBs outside of those mentioned are awful (and frankly, Brooks is overrated, Lynch is a great pass rusher and not much else, and post Injury Bowman blows in coverage and we have no other cover LBs). The CB suck. WRs cannot run good routes, can't get seperation.
I think literally any coaches in the NFL right now would be an improvment over the shit that is there now, yes, and I feel the same about Kap. But there are so many other holes right now that you could drop Rogers and Bellichek there and they'd have a hell of a time getting to 8-8

By league manager I meant commissioner (sorry, thought it was the same thing). It's the NFL.com, so I don't think the Co-commish can sub in guys(or can he)? Money was collected IRL, and there is a worry our ex-friend/commish might try to mess with the league. Just wish there was an easy way to replace a commish mid season :/

in yahoo leagues you can have the (new) commissioner assign everyone players (as if the draft was done offline and the results are then done manually). Unfortunately, I don't know if you can do any manipulation with team records or waiver priority etc..
