Finally ...

I released my Top 250 PPR Big Board on @TheHuddle a few minutes ago. The plan is to have write-ups for the first 150 (what needs to go right for them to meet/exceed their ranking and why they could disappoint) by the end of next week.

@DBro_FFB I will also add that Rice's game in college was more as a contested-catch option. He's obviously done well for himself as the primary slot in the NFL, but I wonder how much better KC's passing game would be with a quicker guy out of the slot.

[Doug Orth @DougOrth]

@DBro_FFB Bear with me here, D-Bro, but I choose to believe the Chiefs have already made up their mind about extending (or not extending, as it were) Rice. My guess is they hope Downs shows enough in the slot over the second half to make him the long-term option there.

[Doug Orth @DougOrth]

@HaydenWinks Garvin is a proven man-beater. Smyth is that crafty receiver who can find a hole in any zone. Treadwell is the contested-catch guy. I think Indy finally got it right ... LOL

[Doug Orth @DougOrth]

@nflrefstats1 I was just having this thought earlier tonight. It feels like the number of presnap penalties this year is significantly higher than usual.

[Doug Orth @DougOrth]

@ShaneSaysFF Agreed. I think too many people mistake drama with quality of the product.

There's no question the NFL produces good drama. Producing drama does not mean we are seeing high-level football, however.

[Doug Orth @DougOrth]

I'm at a loss as to why Rams' opponents don't double-team Puka (punt coverage style) if they insist on making him the only threat in the passing game. Playing Tutu over Mumpfield is another head-scratcher to me.

[Doug Orth @DougOrth]

@alexinsdorf99 I think my heart just skipped a beat.

Harbs, for the love of all that is good, please just run Hampton at least 15 times and see what happens. (And please don't make 12-13 of those plays interior runs ...)

@dudeshot70 Good process doesn't always equal good results. And God knows, when it rains on some of your teams, it pours.

[Doug Orth @DougOrth]

Most everyone knows about bad beats, but what happens when the sum doesn't equal the parts for most of the season?

I have a dynasty team with Purdy, Gibbs, Bijan, Swift, P. Washington, T-Mac, Reichard and the Seahawks DST. I fell to 9-7 this week and just lost to a 1-13 team.

[Doug Orth @DougOrth]

"Professional" football ...

It has been anything but this week.

[Doug Orth @DougOrth]

@Ryan_Josephson It's too bad they didn't stick with the wide angle then. For the life of me, I can't understand who thought "broadcast angle" would be the best angle, full well knowing that you cannot see all 22 players.

[Doug Orth @DougOrth]

Tonight was my first experience watching MNF Playbook. So much better than today's traditional telecasts.

Brian Hoyer and Louis Riddick offering actual football analysis. It's not a perfect product, but I hope the future of football telecasts is moving in this direction soon.

[Doug Orth @DougOrth]

@FFStalder My apologies, good sir!!!

[Doug Orth @DougOrth]

@Coachie51 Never lost faith ... LOL

[Doug Orth @DougOrth]

@andybehrens Did I miss something?

How did this go out the same week we are playing each other in the King's Classic?

[Doug Orth @DougOrth]

@DrewDavenportFF My biding for him was inspired by two things:

1) Adams' injury
2) Nacua's mysterious groin(?) injury that reportedly needs surgery after the season

Stafford is the "king-maker," so I hear. It will be interesting if it is the TEs or WRs that prosper if Nacua misses time.

[Doug Orth @DougOrth]

@DrewDavenportFF I won almost every Mumpfield bid I made last night (w/o most of the limited other bidders making small bids), so my fantasy teams would appreciate Nacua taking a small vacation.

[Doug Orth @DougOrth]

@RotoPat Truth!
