    Advice needed: Visiting Pro Football Hall of Fame during Enshrinement Weekend

    [Apologies if there's been an earlier thread on this topic. I did a search and couldn't find anything.] My soon-to-be-9 year old has gotten super into football over the past year, in ways that only a kid on the autism spectrum can. I've been thinking it might be fun to take him to Canton the...

    How many first-round QBs will actually pan out?

    One thing I've noticed in the draft coverage I've seen is that, while there may be disagreements over what order the Big Three -- or in some people's minds, the Big Four -- should go in, no one seriously seems to be pushing back against the idea that they'll all be successful. And yet, if you...

    Sliding doors plays that transformed legacies

    Was listening to a podcast the other day (might have been The Athletic Football Show) where a guy was talking about Stafford and the trade to the Rams, and then he paused and said, "Of course, if Jaquiski Tartt doesn't drop an absolute gimme of an interception, we're having a totally different...

    Goff stat correction, Week 14

    Didn't see this posted anywhere on the forums (apologies if I missed it). Yahoo has this banner across their site: Looked up the game log, and for some reason it was initially recorded as a fumble by the center, which is obviously wrong: Don't think it affected anything in my leagues -- and...

    Greatest TV day in NFL history?

    Here are the four TV windows today: 9:30 EST - Dolphins-Chiefs 1:00 - Seahawks-Ravens 4:25 - Cowboys-Eagles SNF - Buffalo-Cinci That's a pretty impressive slate of games! The reason I feel confident in calling it the greatest in history is that the 9:30 window is only a few years old, and...

    2023 Week 18 SNF flex: Who ya got?

    Week 18 schedule Last year the league picked a game with wildcard implications (GB-Det) and sorta lucked out/sorta didn't, but usually it's two teams playing for a divisional title. Most likely contenders: Steelers @ Ravens Browns @ Bengals Vikings @ Lions Chiefs @ Chargers Bills @ Dolphins...

    QB/TE draft strategy 2023

    Time to revive another thread I've found useful in the past (apparently I never got around to posting one for 2022). I think it's worth considering your onesie strategies in tandem because they're so connected. If you grab a QB early, that probably means you need to wait on TE or you could find...

    What are the best/worst draft slots for 2023?

    If you could pick one draft slot this year, what would it be? If you could pick one to avoid, which would that be? (Include the size of your league and scoring parameters). My main leagues are 12-team PPR, 12-team 0.5 PPR and 14-team standard. I'm someone who generally prefers to be closer...

    Draft day "regerts", 2023 edition

    It's time for one of my favorite threads. As a reminder, @Hot Sauce Guy came up with the idea a couple years ago, and I blatantly stole it paid tribute to him last year (the thread title also "pays tribute" to @Leroy Hoard's joke). I think HSG may have initially intended it more as a way for...

    DSTs that are poised to make a leap (aka Wade Phillips Award nominees)

    Back when Wade Phillips was still bouncing around the league, a good rule of thumb was to always target his team's DST the first year he took over as DC. Houston, Broncos, Rams all became elite. Even better from a fantasy perspective, those Ds could generally be acquired with a next-to-last...

    Who are your 2022 Shark Pool MVPs (Most Valuable Posters)?

    It's that time again! This thread was such a hit last year, had to bring it back. I'm busy at work right now, so will try to submit my nominees later, but the rest of you, have at it! Reminder: This is a thread to recognize the posters here who were the most wise, helpful and just plain...

    Potential stat correction for Tenn DST?

    Saw this being debated on Twitter. From this week's Titans-Texans game: Is there any chance that could be ruled a sack? Doesn't impact me at all, just curious to see if any fantasy semis results are overturned. My instinct is that a fumbled snap does not count as a sack and thus there will be...

    Dumbest play in NFL history?

    The ending to today's Pats-Raiders game was so completely idiotic, it had me wondering if it was the dumbest play in NFL history. So I decided to list all of the other dumb ones I could think of and see how it compared. Wrong-way Marshall Miracle at the Meadowlands Miracle at the New...

    How many people realized that Jags-Broncos is being broadcast exclusively on ESPN+?

    https://abc.com/news/insider/watch-denver-broncos-jacksonville-jaguars-nfl-game-london-espn-plus-exclusive-2022 I follow sports media pretty closely, and I had no idea this was happening until I saw it mentioned last week during MNF. Although I find it hilarious that, after spending the first...

    Worst. Fantasy. Season. Ever.

    In his thread about retiring from fantasy, @BobbyLayne repeatedly says he doesn't want to get into why he's found this year to be so dispiriting. Which is ironic, because for the past few days I've been thinking about starting a thread to discuss exactly that. Some of it is definitely of the...

    "Worth reaching for" vs. "Too rich for my blood"

    Like everyone else on this Godforsaken forum, you've spent way too much time prepping for your draft, absorbed all the narratives, and identified your value picks. Now everyone else is catching on to them, and in some cases that's being reflected in rising ADP prices. So now you have to make a...

    Draft Day "regerts"

    I totallly stole the idea for this thread from @Hot Sauce Guy, who started a "Redraft Regrets Support Group" last year (and the "regerts" joke from @Leroy Hoard). I think HSG originally started it as a way for people to vent post-draft; basically an entire thread worth of :ptts: But as...

    What is your RB2 draft strategy?

    I feel like this has become the hardest part of my draft each year, along with drafting a TE (and don't think I don't have a thread on that one coming, too). Last year I actually did OK across my various leagues, drafting Jacobs, Robinson and Javonte, who all basically put up RB2 numbers. Still...

    What are the TYPES of mistakes you make in fantasy drafts?

    The purpose of this thread isn't to rehash specific mistakes you've made in drafts, such as "I was deciding between Barkley and Taylor in the late first round and went with Saquon." (Which, incidentally, I did last year). I'm thinking more of actionable learning from previous drafts that you...
