AB: JuJu fumbled the season away.
JuJu: I've done nothing but respect you.
AB: Not true. Look at this message you sent me on Instagram when you were in college where you politely asked for advice.
I'm convinced that no football team on Earth was going to beat the Eagles. The response to this game has been wild. People can't comprehend that the Eagles had the most loaded roster in the league, and they played their best when it mattered most.
Sources: Free-agent QB Russell Wilson is scheduled to fly tonight to Cleveland to visit with the Browns on Thursday, before being scheduled to fly to New York on Thursday night to visit Friday with the Giants.
Life update: My wife and I adopted a baby boy back at the beginning of February. He was six weeks old when he joined us. He'll be six *months* old in a few days. We found out that the state finalized things earlier this week, so I wanted to share the news!
Meet CJ!
Imagine telling someone two years ago that Aaron Jones would end up with the Vikings, David Montgomery with the Lions, and D'Andre Swift with the Bears. We just need Dalvin Cook to find his way to the Packers.
The only wide receiver with more than 85 receiving yards against the Chargers this year was Odell Beckham. Josh Gordon hit that today after not playing football for three years.
Having Jonathan Taylor on a team that got eliminated last week because he dropped the ball before scoring a touchdown and watching what he's doing today is a pain that no human should endure.
The Steelers this season…
Week 1: Barely beat the Jets
Week 2: Lose to Seattle
Week 3: Good win against NE with crazy turnover luck
Week 4: Almost blew it against Carson Wentz
Week 6: Beat the Browns
Week 7: Loss to Joe Flacco
Week 8: Loss to Packers
Bad football team.
OK. I know this fantasy football data dump used to be on Sunday nights, but I need to do them on Mondays from now on. I'm going to do them, though. This is Week 1's thread 🧵
DJ Moore, with a backup quarterback, became the 17th player in NFL history this year to hit 1,100 receiving yards (he had 1,175 in 15 games) in a season before turning 23 years old.
Arthur Smith finally letting Bijan Robinson be an RB1 over the last month just to completely own fantasy managers in the playoffs is a really good way to wrap up the season.
The Bengals get an upgrade in EPA per drop back, per Next Gen Stats. They're going from the last ranked QB in Jake Browning (-0.44) to the second-to-last ranked QB in Joe Flacco (-0.41).
I keep seeing people talk about how Amari Cooper has opened up Keon Coleman's fantasy potential. So I looked at the film. And Amari Cooper was on the field for exactly zero of Coleman's targets in Week 7.
Tom Brady actually not retiring because reports came out that he was retiring before he could officially announce it himself (and then he goes on to win the Super Bowl) would be peak Tom Brady.
I keep seeing Nick Chubb content and I don’t know if I have ever wanted an athlete to succeed more in my life. He embodies everything that’s good about sports.
Each week after the afternoon games on Sunday are over, I make a thread that's filled with fantasy football-related data nuggets.
Here's Week 1's thread.
So many players are always like "now what?" after winning a championship and it reminds us all that we're just on a floating rock in the middle of space and nothing actually matters
My in-laws loved me until they saw me watch a football game where my opponent in the fantasy football chanpionship had a guy who scored six rushing touchdowns.
Patriots just got a higher first-round pick than they gave up last year, all while having Brandin Cooks for a year on a rookie deal. They own this league.
I don't usually care about the Pro Bowl much, but it's absolutely ridiculous that Josh Jacobs made it over James Robinson. And that Evan Engram made it over Robert Tonyan.
Well, guys. I’ve always run like a dad, but now I’m actually a dad. Avery Grace Zachariason entered the world last night at 8:45 weighing a solid 7 pounds, 5 ounces. And she’s the best. Mom and baby are both doing great!
Justin Fields had Darnell Mooney and dusty Allen Robinson for his rookie year and the next rookie quarterback for Chicago is going to have DJ Moore and Keenan Allen. At least they learned their lesson.
Each Monday morning, even after a Sunday Night Football game that ended on Monday, I throw a fantasy football stat thread together. This is the Week 5 data dump.
