  1. We can steal two common stock trading sayings to relate to this conversation:

    "Buy the rumors, sell the news"

    "Be fearful when others are greedy, and greedy when others are fearful"

  2. Have you considered a situation in which Rice is not suspended, but misses time/snaps due to civil trial starting Dec. 9? Will need to be present in court if he doesn't settle. Or am I way ahead of myself? Os that essentially priced in right now? The added competition worries me more than the suspension risk for season long. Was considering taking him in Weekly Winners, but not sure if early or late in the season will be better. Seems like early is the better if he goes to court in Dec. Thanks.

  3. You should do a 5 players I NEED to start drafting more video. I think Allgeier would be top of the list for me. I think I’m going to start prioritizing Vidal or Dobbins in every draft too

  4. Love the vid as always. I truly don’t get the price of all these mid and late round crusty vets that have basically like 1% chance to return value to you even at ADP. Guys like Mooney like you said, Bateman, Robinson, Zay Jones, Tyler Boyd, etc. People were drafting Robert Woods last year instead of Tank Dell or Nico Collins. Take athletic freaks and young players who are mystery boxes. Stop taking guys who were good 3 years ago and have proven recently that they cannot help you (cough Adam Thielen).

  5. Erik in your opinion..At what point is it just better to pick spike week players in drafts as opposed to just drafting by position? I just hate trying to grab a WR before they are all gone when there's so many good RB and TE on the board.

  6. been telling the cabal about Ali for awhile – about to at least wally pipp keaton mitchell but y'all were dismissing it and liked keaton – same w/blake watson vs. jaleel, though that looks less good recently (but still time in camp)
