I've confirmed the Diggs to Seattle trade.

Thought this was Stefon Diggs at first.

This is a different take from Bobby Sylvester of FantasyPros...

Chase Edmonds looked especially unimpressive
"Wait, he had 3 touchdowns, you fool". Yeah, I saw, but you do realize we could have called Peyton Hillis out of retirement today and he would have ended up in the end zone on those carries, right? Edmonds ran into big holes, through weak arm tackles and avoided Giants defenders taking abysmal routes to the ball carrier.

The fact of the matter is, Edmonds doesn't run with authority or burst. He has stiff hips and can't evade defenders.

Ok? Doesn't change the fact the Edmunds has looked great all season. This isn't a point-chasing scenario. He's been working his way into a flex conversation even before DJ got banged up.

Haters will take a victory lap after he underperforms against the Saints this week, but they'll still be wrong.

Guy sounds like a moron. I went back through some of his “starts” over the past week and they’re all terrible

He can be the worst RB in the league but AZ still plays at the fastest pace in the league in an offense that targets RBs out the backfield

Sylvester is legit awful, I’ve tried listening to that podcast and it just goes to show pretty much anyone can get a job in that industry and call themselves an expert. I often wonder how much some of them are actually making.

That's what I thought too. I wasn't able to watch the Cardinals, but from what I've read from those that did watch it, he looked really good.

The holes were indeed big. More of an indictment of the giants than a fault of Edmonds really. He certainly showed burst on multiple 20 yard TDs though

Giants haven’t been terrible vs the run outside of being shredded by Dalvin

Zeke 13/53
Gore 19/68
Peterson 11/28
Michel 22/86 and he had the 26 yard carry at the end

Cards sign Alfred Morris. Damn. Were Ajayi and Ware THAT unimpressive?

Edmonds is looking like a viable start at Flex ROS. Low end RB2 while Johnson is out.

So what do we do about David Johnson? I’ve got him and Edmonds. Can we expect the Cards to be forthcoming?

I would start Edmonds and sit DJ until he proves it on the field again.

I think it’s a crap shoot. Week 6 Johnson barely practiced and then went off for 100+ and 2 TDs. Last week he was “more active” during the week and then got 1 carry.

Call me crazy but have a tough time believing the Lions hand Ty Johnson a true featured role when it took them over a year to free Kerryon Johnson

I’m avoiding Ty Johnson personally, but I also avoided Kerryon.

Melvin Gordon III didn't get what he wanted by holding out from the Los Angeles Chargers through Week 3 of the 2019 NFL season, but he did learn something.   

"I know I won't miss another training camp again, I can tell you that," Gordon said Monday, according to Helene Elliott of the Los Angeles Times.

Yeah no shite.
