Hurts or Stafford?

Posted by skewbs on 10/3/26 at 8:44 pm
They are playing each other in Philly. With Devonta Smith out, I’m leaning Stafford. Thoughts?

Anyone here taken young kids to Cabo?

Considering a quick beach trip (3-4 nights) with the fam in mid December and it’s pretty quick to get to Cabo from Houston.

My son is 3.5 years old and doesn’t really get out in the water yet at the beach. So won’t have to worry about swimming (which I know you can’t do at some beaches in Cabo).

Since it’s a shorter trip, we probably wouldn’t even get out of the resort much.

Anyone here taken kids of a similar age to Cabo? If so, care to share your experience? TY!

RB2 Help - Tuten or Treveyon Henderson

Posted by skewbs on 9/27/26 at 10:40 am
They are playing each other. Henderson looked great last week, but I always worry about how the Pats game plan to split touches between him and Stevenson. Tuten appears to be the clear lead back, which I was worried about when drafting him, and the Pats have a better run D.

Regardless, I'm leaning Tuten until I see more games with Henderson/Stevenson together. Thoughts?
I’m sitting Price. He was clearly over hyped by damn near everybody. They won’t commit to him even if he’s healthy.

Situation is getting crazier by the day. This is from Schefty just now.

ESPN’s Adam Schefter reports Jonah Coleman suffered a sprained ankle in Week 2 against the Jaguars.
RJ Harvey missed Week 2 with a hamstring injury and J.K. Dobbins left the game early with what was eventually called leg cramps. It’s unclear if any of the three Denver backs will be available for Week 3.
Great suggestions so far. Already searching all of them.
Going to Vegas for 5 days and nights for a conference. Just me and my wife (no pics). Will have plenty of free time. I plan on doing my fair share of gambling, drinking, etc.

However, so that I’m not “only” gambling and drinking for 5 days, I’m looking for suggestions on other fun things to do. Love to be outdoors. Also like convenience so not really up for driving somewhere that’s 3+ hours away.


Appreciate any suggestions for those that go out there a good bit and get away from the gambling scene.

Tough choice. I’d lean Hurts as the weather seems to be nasty in Chicago. Maybe monitor weather leading up to game time.

RB2 help - Price or Tuten

Posted by skewbs on 9/20/26 at 8:33 am
Price looked good in week 1 but didn’t get the volume you hope for. Worried they don’t commit to him.

Tuten seems to be the clear guy in Jax but I’m not sure the talent is there. Very ‘meh’ week 1 on 16 touches.

This one is tough which is why I’m bringing it here. Seems like a coin flip.

Lemon or Stribling season long

Posted by skewbs on 9/5/26 at 5:10 pm
Who are y’all liking better over the course of this season? I have both of them but will likely need to drop one in advance of week 1 to add a D/ST (currently empty on my roster).

Lemon seems to have a real role behind Devonta Smith but camp reports have been mixed on him so far.

Stribling getting rave reviews but he will most likely be further down the target pecking order behind Mike Evans, Deebo Samuel, Kittle, and even CMC. I’m sure talent will win out in the end, and he will pass both Samuel and Evans, but that may take several many weeks to materialize.
I've made 3 work trips to India in the past 3 years. One to Delhi/Gurgaon, and two to Bangalore.

Let this resonate - the best part of my trip by far is the flight and the hotel (yes I'm in first class and yes the hotels we stay in are top notch). Regardless, everything else is gross, crowded, chaotic, and would never be worth it to me if I was traveling to this country on my own dime $$ and my own time.

Marshawn Lloyd on Waivers

Posted by skewbs on 8/31/26 at 8:10 pm
Starting a new thread to see if I can get some traction tonight .

My league drafted last Friday night and our free agency opened Sunday morning. The manager that drafted Lloyd dropped him for Stribling right before this news came out on Jacobs. So Lloyd is on waivers through tomorrow (Tuesday).

We do a rolling waiver order - when you claim someone you go to the back of the line. I'm currently #1 on waivers.

Should I place the claim for Lloyd and 'waste' my great waiver spot before the season even begins?

My RB room is Kenneth Walker, Quinshon Judkins, Jadarian Price, and Mike Washington Jr.

ETA - I truly have no one that is 'droppable' right now. So I'd probably drop my Kicker and then figure things out with that position before week 1 games start.

re: Chase or Nacua at 3?

100% say Chase without hesitation


Puka also has league action hanging over his head, right? All things considered equally, that would make me consistently go with Chase until we get more news there.
Wavier question for yall about Marshawn Lloyd.

We have a strange keeper system so I won't go into all those specific details, but I have the opportunity to keep one of these 3 players. For Bucky and Odunze, I'm effectively keeping them at the equivalent of a last round pick. For Walker, he would be aligned with a early to mid-round pick (approximately round 6 of a 13-14 round draft).

Understanding only those facts, who would you choose?

Odunze is intriguing as he should be a fairly consistent WR2 / WR3 this year and I can build my draft around having that position on my roster locked down. Luther Burden is also iffy for week 1.

Bucky is talented but the Bucs seem reluctant to make him a true RB1, and the signing of Gainwell emphasizes that. I'm sure he'll have big weeks, but I am betting he also has multiple 'duds'.

Walker should be a lock to finish as a top 10 RB, but I'm wondering if that mid-round keeper equivalent is enough of a spread for his average draft position to justify keeping him...

Does it matter when you’re making money hand over fist. I think you’re missing the point.

ETA - in theory, winning only matters to the fans, and maybe the players/coaches whose job depends on it. Owners are making bank win or lose, and this data supports that fact.

re: ACHR or JOBY - Who’s in either?

Big move up for ACRH today. At one point, was up over 20%. Some significant news in collaboration with a giant.... Boeing!
quote:

Archer Aviation stock surged roughly 15% to 20% in trading on August 10, 2026, following an announcement that it signed a definitive agreement to acquire three Boeing subsidiaries—Wisk Aero, SkyGrid, and Insitu—while Boeing takes a strategic equity stake in Archer

quote:

Acquisitions: Archer is absorbing Wisk Aero (autonomous eVTOLs), SkyGrid (air traffic management), and Insitu (uncrewed defense drones).Boeing Stake: Boeing will secure an approximate 20% equity stake in Archer as part of the strategic partnership.Strategic Shift: The move expands Archer past commercial air taxis and into a broader "physical AI" aerospace and defense platform.


Love that 'physical AI' mention.

Rent a bike and cycle across the Golden Gate Bridge to Sausalito, and then ride the ferry back (with your bike). Stop mid-way over the bridge and look around. It's an incredible way to see the city, the bay, and a unique little town on the north side with quaint bars/restaurants on the water. Depending on how long you want to linger in Sausalito, this could be anywhere from a 4 - 8 hour activity. It is 100% worth it.

I also love R&G Lounge in Chinatown. Pop in LiPo Lounge for a Mai Tai (it's an experience).

If you like Irish Coffee, go to The Buena Vista. They are world famous for them.

I typically stay in the Marriott Marquis and there's an unbelievable bar on the 48th (maybe?) floor there with panoramic views of the city and bay. Really cool to grab a drink about an hour before sunset. It'll get crowded so I usually go earlier. Another similar rooftop view spot is Top of the Mark. Also very renowned.

We also love Swan Oyster Depot in Nob Hill. Waterbar near the Ferry Building is top notch for dinner and bay / bridge views. If you're looking for ocean views go out to the west side to java Beach Cafe in Ocean Beach.
