@Ihartitz The production is real, but it's been on ~6 tgt/gm with 4 TDs in 5 games. That's a lot of efficiency doing the work.

The 9 tgt last week is the part I'd watch. If that holds with Brown sidelined, WR20 might be selling him short.

There are only 3 teams in the NFL who have scored less points than the Vikings (146):

1. Titans, 144
2. Dolphins, 126
3. Chargers, 121

The combined record of these teams: 2-22

@RotoWireNFL And now Rhamondre Stevenson too 😐

[Derrick Ernst | AT Fantasy Football @AT_FFHQ]

Why do I need to watch the game when I can just have my @MeatSauce1 notifications turned on instead?

The guy is in his A-game tonight!

@MichaelFFlorio The sad thing is, Kyler knew the controls and still looked like he was lost.

Maybe the difficulty setting needs to be turned down a notch?

[Derrick Ernst | AT Fantasy Football @AT_FFHQ]

@joeypollizze @RotoBallerNFL Those kind of sneaky moves can help win your league (goes for players on IR as well).

1. Most people turn to waivers for an immediate impact in the week to come.

2. Most people aren't scrolling down to see who's available with projections of 0.

@NFL @NFLPlus MIN and NO each have two players in the top-ten sack list YTD:

- MIN (Turner & Ginkel) = 13.5 sacks
- NO (Young & Granderson) = 15.5 sacks

😤

[Derrick Ernst | AT Fantasy Football @AT_FFHQ]

@SleeperNFL I need just about the same from Allen.

Allen and Cook combine for something like 95% of BUF's carries YTD. They're leaning even harder on the run lately, and MIN gives up the 3rd-most explosive runs in the league.

Something's gotta give.

@rotoworld_fb 4th time this season.

6th time seeing double-digits.

Even with Tyson returning today, Shough still leaned on his WR1 without hesitation.

I said this a few weeks ago, but it bears repeating after the Packers win today:

You know how it’s become a thing in MLB where teams are just telling their players to swing for the fences and don’t mind striking out?

That’s how I’ve felt about J. Love this season. He seems to be airing it out every chance he gets and if it gets picked (or better yet his WR’s drop the ball), so be it. There seems to be code-cracking happening in GB and it’s working.

This is the best I remember Love looking since entering the league. It took his a few games, but they’ve seemed to have found their stride.

As a Vikings fan, might I dare say that GB is the best team in the NFC...

@rotoworld_fb I know Etienne has been banged up, but it is a bit of an oddity to have a team make the decision to release their leading volume rusher.

He was 2nd on NO in total touches too.

[Derrick Ernst | AT Fantasy Football @AT_FFHQ]

@FargasFan420 Our Start/Sit tool leans Coker.

CAR throws on 62% of plays (3rd highest in NFL). Coker and Tet benefit the most from that.

Plus, I trust Bryce more than I do Willis. GL!

@rotoworld_fb DEN: "We're calling about McBri..."

ARI: "Leave."

[Derrick Ernst | AT Fantasy Football @AT_FFHQ]

@YahooFantasy Kirk is 6th in the NFL in pass attempts (283) and has been throwing all season.

When volume is there, a hot streak is always a matter of when, not if.

[Derrick Ernst | AT Fantasy Football @AT_FFHQ]

@TomPelissero @Spotify @ringer @Substack BUF gives up:
- 3rd most fantasy points to RBs (24/gm)
- 3rd most fantasy points to WRs (31/gm)

Will Sunday be a the Jones/Mason show, the Jefferson/Addison show, or a little bit of both?

[Derrick Ernst | AT Fantasy Football @AT_FFHQ]

@UnderdogNFL J. Coleman owners can exhale 📈

Not sure how real JT to DEN was, but given they're already a low-vol offense (29th in plays/gm), adding Taylor would've cut an already small pie even smaller.
