If any Bucs fans are alive, hows Mike Williams looked?

This is not the NBA thread
They all drafted Kluwe.
Someone in our work league drafted the San Francisco defense in the second round...
There were a few kind of baffling selections throughout. Still I guess that's what happens in a 16 team league and everyone's filling their rosters with who-knows-what after the first four or so rounds. Fantasy football is still kind of weird to me.
Then again, NFL football is also kind of weird to me still, so maybe I shouldn't be all that shocked.

Someone in my work league (10 teams) drafted the SF defense at the top of round 4, and this is a person that has played fantasy before and keeps up with football (unlike the guy in my work league who took Tebow #2...)

It is a bit silly to start the best one, but maybe viewers will watch and then be intrigued by some of those no names
Looking forward to the DeBartolo one and wonder if he'll admit to paying players under the table

The worst. I generally don't let customers and coworkers know I'm into sports of any kind. It just makes things easier

motherfucker niners placed parys haralson on season ending IR. and it's not one of those where he can come back. he's gone for the year.
this is a major blow. even though aldon is starting, we now have 2 "healthy" (i use the term loosely because both aldon smith and ahmad brooks are banged up anyways) OLB's. we signed hagans but he is probably going to be suspended 4 games.
haralson was so good against the run in our base formation as well. not so much at getting to the QB but great at holding the point. i have to imagine we're going to scour the league for possible OLB's. cam johnson isn't ready to get promoted from the practice squad

lol.Bravo.
So you are saying that the 49ers are having injuries this year, unlike last year where they had very few missed games by starters? And this injury regression to the mean was cited as one of the reasons they would fall back to the pack in the NFCW? Russel Wilson is going to wreck that division
chuck. well done
I can't help but chime in when someone is spouting stupid shit. Especially if they're putting other people down when they're the ones who are misinformed.
Not when your workplace is a sports company
No easy money for you. Maybe start a fantasy e-sports league!
Haha, nice.

we had injuries last year, you just don't want to remember them. gore was banged up all year, patrick willis missed 1/4th of the season with an injury, dashon goldson missed the first few weeks of the season, delaine walker missed the end of the season and the playoff game against the saints, isaac soapoaga missed 2 games, ray macdonald missed 2 games, teddy ginn missed the NFC championship game, braylon edwards was injured in week 2 and basically didn't come back all year (and was eventually released right before the playoffs), michael crabtree missed all of pre-season with a neck injury and played like 3 snaps in the first/second week of the season
so if your definition of "injury free year" is that we didn't really have anyone on IR then i won't argue with it. but if you are saying we didn't have injuries that impacted the team then eat a bag of dicks
Everyone gets banged up in football. Your starters, especially your impact players, were amazingly healthy. You're going to be crying about those fumbles and what might have been for a long time

lol i guess patrick willis isn't an impact player. the rams had 0 impact players miss any games last year so i dont know what you're complaining about
Jumping off the niners bandwagon already?
I expected (slightly) better of you Squicken.
I was never on the 49ers bandwagon as much as the Harbs' bandwagon. But he's sort of like Belichcik. Great coach. Total douchebag. Hard to like if he's not coaching your team. And the 49ers aren't on the list

I let the stupid shit fly and just snicker to myself later. In Michigan, the fans are so naive they generally just swing their dicks around and high five, especially about the Lions. Idl of I have ever had a case in real life where someone is putting someone else down. I've also never run into a real life crazy like FMT or someone who has tried to tell me Suh will be better than Reggie White.
UofM fans, on the other hand....

why admire harbs when you have a great coach like jeff fisher? he has proven that he's a great coach with his 2 playoff wins in his last 10 years of coaching and he is also an astute business man given that he forces his players to use his financial advisor so he can get a commission kickback. i am jealous

don't worry about him brother. the squickening will happen again this year when we are once again dominant

You will be known as the French Squicken.

My Rams affiliation was/is entirely Bradford based. If/when he has washed out, I'm out. Fisher's not bad. Above average. Never could get the elite QB after McNair and always had to deal with Peyton.
I would have preferred an offensive guy, but they were sick of first year coaches. After they fired Spags, that very day, Long, Lauranitis and Bradford went to the owner and begged him to hire Fisher

LOL I only see that in Keeper/Auction leagues. I usually throw a bid out on a kicker 1st round.
he squickened after 3 weeks

Fantasy newb question: What do you do if your QB plays your defense one week? Do you drop that D and pick up another one? Sit your QB and play his backup?
So I have a hypothetical based off of Grantland's thing last week. If you are the hypothetical GM(s) involved, would you trade the following guys straight up for Andrew Luck? Age and contract do matter
Eli Manning
Big Ben
Aaron Rodgers
Drew Brees
Tom Brady
The only "no" on that list is Rodgers, and I still have to think about it b/c of the age difference and payday he has coming

lol hilarious. so the PLAYERS make the coaching decisions in st. louis, not the GM or someone who is paid. no wonder the rams organization is such a joke. did they also go to sammy and the gang to get advice on who they should draft?
Luck hasn't played a single real game yet. He looked good in preseason against vanilla defenses, but teams know he won't be a simple guy to shut down. they will not go easy on him. would much rather go with a veteran QB, especially if they are healthy.
None of those 5 should be traded yet.

Lets see what Luck does in real games before we crown him.
oh for sure. It's a clown show. But the owner is very hands off and likes to turn things over to established guys. He wants Fisher to be the Rams Arsene Wegner
Making the choice without having all the information you want is what makes it an interesting hypothetical
