🏈 The plague, again

A quick huddle, deep dives and everyone has Covid (again).

Good morning. Let’s get straight to the point: you’re here for the memes, or you’re here to win your semi-final matchup. But, why not both?

I’ll apologize in advance for the brief newsletter: Was feeling under the weather and have Covid results coming in. That said, let’s get into it:

Deep Dives

The usual cast of top pickups - the Ronald Joneses, Simaje Perines, and Justin Jacksons of the world (handcuffs) - are no longer available. Like an adult actress, we’re saying “let’s go deeper.”

• Tyler Johnson - Antonio Brown gets the hype, but Johnson has played over the past 7 weeks. That’s more than AB can say. Still, AB will get his, but Johnson should still see 6-7 targets from the goat.

• Josh Reynolds - Is awesome, and Goff trusts him. He’s averaging over 10 points the past four weeks for a team that needs weapons.

• Tyler Huntley - If you’re a big underdog, why not grab a running QB who might be Value-Mart Lamar Jackson?

• Foster Moreau - It doesn’t look like Darren Waller will be back this season..

• Any handcuff running back - now is the time to drop that backup QB you won’t start or the WR you don’t need. Grab as many handcuffs (Khalil Herbert, Ameer Abdullah, etc.) as you can. Just search RBs available and look at touches from last week.

The Pro Bowl

Pro Bowl results came in, which aren’t important at all. If you disagree with that take, here you go. But I did try to warn you…

Also - where is Josh Allen??

One final note: this is the “what if NBA players played football”

Here is 7 foot 240ish pound Willie Cauley-Stein playing WR in high school. He had 64 catches for 1,265 yards and 15 TDs, 19.7 per catch. And was timed by coaches at around a 4.6 40.
