You want to take over the picks league?

I would say you're more than welcome to continue doing it if you still want to. You did a great job last season.

So Golden Tate's got a PED suspension.
Corey Coleman tore his ACL.
Sterling Shepard broke his thumb.

Who does that even leave for Eli Manning/Daniel Jones to throw to? :blink:

They could maybe make Crabtree an offer. And Calvin/Kalvin Benjamon (the big guy who played with the panthers for a while).

Probably be pretty cheap.

Theo Riddick signed with the Broncos. I never thought much of him when was up in Detroit- though I didn't get to see a lot of lion's games.

I've heard he's a better receiver than an actual runner....kinda like charcandrick west was for the chiefs. Anyone know if Riddick can block like chark can?

...You do realize that Pass-rushers were already somewhat popular as a concept way before Drew Brees...and that Alvin Kamara is good both as a pass-rusher and as a pure RB? I mean...it’s not his fault other teams don’t get their RBs to do more.

Bollocks to that.
Drew Brees and LT pioneered that as a popular tactic.
Also pass rusher = defense

So, I'm still down to making a fantasy league if anyone wants to partake in it. Please let me know; we would use ESPN.

Edit: I'll TG you the link.

It would be PPR and Snake Draft; I have it randomized in terms of how the draft picks will go.

I’d be interested! How many people do you think we’ll have? 10 would be optimal, in my opinion.
