Okung plays for the Panthers now. I'll wait for a more credible source.

I think you are fishing in the wrong pond here with a projected team total of 18.75. There are a few better plays in this price range -- Curtis Samuel, Dede Westbrook, Christian Kirk and Marvin Jones or Evan Engram and Hunter Henry at TE/Flex. But if you really wanna go there, Beasley has a higher floor and is a better Pts/$ play at lower ownership to go along with the savings.

Why are there not calls for multiple GMs to be fired who passed up on him?
Oh that is right, only Bills fans that silly.
The Bills GM should be fired for passing on him until the 5th Round.

Could we please have more threads by people discussing their fantasy teams? I mean, they are just so fascinating.
Maybe also a thread about people who take the time to read something they aren't interested in and then complain that they just read it.

I think people should keep their stupid comments and opinions to themselves.

Without panicking, if I'm Brandon Beane, I would already have had conversations with the agents for Austin Howard, Luke Joeckel, Alex Boone and Jahri Evans that there might be interest.

No credible source has confirmed this as of yet, not even Incarcerated Bob lol...

Dodged a bullet.
Another Whaley gem is gone.
He was a 4-year starter. Not sure how much more you could reasonably expect from a 3rd round pick.

Ticket notice supposed to come out this week.
According to my rep.
Just got the email. Can't say for sure about any other levels, but 300 Level V price is unchanged.

Cornelius Bennett was traded to the Bills 30 years ago today. Discuss.

It's about time.

Rams
Chargers for Cardale.

so he had the same surgery that lawson had? the labrum surgery? and more than 3 months before lawson? if we go by lawsons time who had it may 17 and was back 10-23 that means hooker will be ready early to mid july latest. plenty of time for tc. you can bet he's gonna have a pre draft medical exam and i'd expect that to push him back to where he is slotted. i doubt this hurts his draft actually.
I have to disagree. This response is simply too level-headed for a message board. You must be wrong.

Dabo would be an idiot to leave now, given where he has that program. They are built to be a perennial champion. But even then, the idea of him leaving to go to Coach the buffalo bills of all teams is so mind-numbingly preposterous that it is not worth even discussing.
Would he really be leaving though? The Bills are really just Clemson North, and he should be very familiar with all the Florida State players.
He should feel right at home once we draft Watson or Williams.

Just curious, from an intellectual point of view. I'm not suggesting it be done, nor ruling it out.
Obstacles:
- Rex probably signed a Head Coach contract, not a more flexible personal services, or generic coach contract
- Egos of all involved: Rex, The Pegs, Whaley etc. would interfere
- Rex contract may allow him to double-dip incomes, ex: get his Bills HC pay, while appearing at NBC or whomever... and Rex may want to do this
Possible enablers:
- Rex might like the idea. He always seemed outside his comfort zone and enjoyment level as HC. Many many fired HCs have reappeared as very successful DC or OC.
- He would earn HC money as a DC
- Rex appears to be the kind of guy who could set aside his ego and work hard to makes this work. At the end of the day, he seems like X and O's devotee.
Demote Rex, Promote Lynn, Hire new OC. Have Coughlin provide consulting services.
Please be easy on the replies guys. I'm asking a theoretical--because I've never seen this done. I'm not in Mom's basement with an NFL Stratego Board, Cheetohs and Red Bull.
Let's remember, this is Rex's defense that isn't working. If we want to fire Rex because the defense has been horrible, it wouldn't make sense to keep him to coordinate the defense. If we don't have confidence in Rex as head coach to fix the defense, what would actually improve with him in solely in charge of the defense? Because he will have more time to focus? This was his baby all the way, so a change in title would do nothing to help.

Just how much bourbon did you drink during the game?

"Mehta reports it remains possible he is shut down for the entire season. It is also possible he is able to manage the pain and continue playing."
Or anything in between...or none of it...I don't trust anything Manish has to write. He is really good at getting clicks, though.
-
I saw and thought...man, somebody on this board is gonna want to pick him up.
That WR crew down in Philly is awful and they couldn't get rid of him fast enough. He doesn't have many chances left in the NFL - we can only hope one of them is not extended to him by Buffalo.

What I suspect is that the usage rates run deeper than what the reports are telling us.
Once I read a thread on the Roto board from a guy complaining that every single guaranteed tournament he enters into, no matter how short they are of players, ends up full at the last minute. There were a lot of posters saying "you're a noob, that's because everybody waits til the last second because they think they're smart". Now I wonder if those posters were DK and FD shills.
Perhaps DK and FD have an algorithm that takes the lineups of 4000 or so real players and calculates according to usage rates and other calculations another 6000 dummy lineups that will more than likely prevent the real players from winning the top prizes. By doing this, DK and FD can avoid paying out over 50% of the winnings and keep it for themselves.
Here are two articles published on Friday from 2 independent websites containing the same information this insider trader was purported to be using. It is available to the public, if you know where to look. Just like all information is out there if you want to find it. The employee was a top-ranked player before he worked for DraftKings and the data in question does not translate so easily because of differences in rules and scoring.

As for adding dummy lineups to save them from losing money...dude, that's just lazy conspiracy at best. Both DraftKings and FanDuel have over 1 million users. A good percentage of them are sitting at their computers on Sunday morning trying to gain an advantage by entering tournaments going unfilled. You can have lineups ready to go. I enter 10-20 lineups ahead of time and export them into a tournament with about 4 clicks. Do the math - it only takes 1,000 people across the U.S. and Cananda entering 10 lineups into a tournament that to equal 10,000 entries...all in a matter of 4 clicks at 12:55 Sunday afternoon.
The reason so few don't get filled is because both companies have statistics that tell them how many users have been active, what the most popular games and price points are, etc. No, they don't want to lose money, so they put out just enough so they will all get filled. But, they have trouble guessing at the start of any new season so Week 1 I was in a big tournament that filled 42,000 of 57,500, increasing my odds to place from 20% to 25%. In Week 1 of college football, the big tournament on DK filled only 50%. It happens, maybe your friend isn't very good at finding them?
This whole thing wouldn't be a story if the employee hadn't won big on a competitor's site. He was already one of the best and we all had access to very similar information as him. And still, he had to play the right players who actually produced, which. While computer models can try to predict outcomes, there are numerous factors they can't control like injuries, unexpected game flow and coaches decisions.
This is SO overblown. But, hey, let's not let facts get in the way of a good story...
