Also, it's feared that Texans RB Lamar Miller has torn his ACL.

Who wins the South now?

Guess that injury is a lot worse than speculated?

I wouldn't be surprised if the injury isn't actually "that" bad but that andrew luck is just tired of being mismanaged by the colts. This is the 2nd injury where it probably shouldn't have been as drawn out as they were, and both times the colts have placed the onus on luck as if it's somehow his fault. He's probably just sick of their ****

Well, Miller hasn't been that productive or impactful for the Texans, but I also don't know about their HB corps. Regardless, it feels like the Texans have the O and D to take the division though.

Lamar Miller is thoroughly mediocre. They'll be better off without him.

but still go Titans

and literally no one should trust the Colts medical staff now

Taking that Calvin Johnson route after making close to $100 million cant blame him

Now the darkest timeline commences

Daniel Jones starts for the giants since he looked good in preseason

Giants trade eli to indy. A Manning back in Indy

Colts looked poised to make a run, get wild card spot at 8-8

Win superbowl and complete the trilogy.

3LI

also while we're on the subject, I believe today has confirmed RG3 > Andrew Luck and the Colts clearly made the wrong decision in that draft =)

RGIII's rookie season was on another level before the injury.

I was already hating a lot on luck because he was approaching 30 and hadn't done much (and everyone saying how "hell get his turn as the best soon" every season), but god damn the Colts medical staff fuckin sucks

So the AFC south is looking like it's on fire right now

Lewan suspended
Luck retires
Miller torn ACL

Year of the Jags and Nick Foles anyone?

Well, all they need is for Foles to not completely suck and they should be a good team.

I think he will be serviceable. With what we know about the landscape right now 8-8 could win the division

What the Luck just happened
---

Eh, like I said, I'm not worried about the Miller injury for Houston. His loss doesn't impact their offensive in a decisive way.
---

You know maybe the colts should offer Peyton a 1 year a 15 million dollar contract to come out of retirement and make a run

Yeah Colts could win the division at 8-8 but no way is that a wildcard. The #2 teams in West and North seem like locks.
---

The AFC South is "literally Nick Foles" for the taking.

The Jags just have to figure out how not to blow games to the Titans.

Also we're going to see the AFC North Division Champion Cleveland Browns this year will go down in history

It's been tough. I've almost forgotten what it feels like to win.

Bumping as we lead up to the first week of the season. How's people's drafts coming?

As in fantasy? My league drafted a little over a week ago and since it turned into an IDP league this year I'm not sure how well I balanced what rounds to draft defensive players in :/

I drafted Luck, Zeke, and Antonio Brown so not great

(nah not really)

I actually have Zeke as my keeper from last year and now I'm worried he wont be signed by week 1...

This is why we don't draft until the week before the season starts.

My work league drafts tomorrow

Pretty hype

I will never ever understand leagues that draft prior to the end of preseason. Especially those who draft like at the start of preseason. What's the point?

I've got two drafts coming up next week. One is an auction PPR league, which is new for me in football so I'm excited and don't know what to expect from that. The other is a standard 14 team league, except that we'll be doing the draft live at a sports bar that was offering a free host of fantasy drafts a little while ago that my commish jumped on. Should be a great time.

9th pick in that 14 team league. Looking at Bell/Conner in R1 with a likely Kerryon/Williams R2 pick. I'm hoping Mixon falls to me in the second.

I had two drafts at the same time, I wouldnt mind people rating my teams.

Team 1 (12 team, 2 QB, 3rd pick)
QB: Mahomes (1st, have to take a QB early in a superflex league imo. Kamara was still available though)
WR: Beckham (2nd)
WR: Jeffery
WR: Crowder
RB: Mack
RB: Ingram II
TE: Howard
W/R/T: Latavius Murray
Q/W/R/T: Roethlisberger
BN: Coutee, Lamar Jackson (3 good starters i think is nice here), Breida, Gallup, Samuels, Hyde

Team 2 (10 team, 2nd pick)
QB: Mahomes again
WR: Evans (2nd pick)
WR: Kupp
WR: Jeffery
RB: Kamara (1st pick)
RB: Henry
TE: Hooper
W/R/T: Ingram II
BN: Kirk, Freeman, Valdes-Scantling, Henderson Jr, Funchess, Trubisky

1st league has 12 teams and a flex and superflex, so almost every roster has 1-2 guys that you are happy to get like 4 catches 45 yards from lol. I think the teams are decent but meh

Your 2nd draft is pretty solid in my opinion. Cant comment om the first league as I've never been in a league with a superflex option for a 2nd QB to play so I'm sure that changes the entire draft dynamic basically needing 3 QBs with 1 always riding the bench. I might have to join a random league this year to try that out.

No kickers / whole team defence?

I really wish I had gotten Kamara that guys a beast. I got Alshon Jeffery aswell and I think hes poised for a big year if Wentz stays healthy

Sorry, Defense is Philly in first league, Rams in 2nd
Kicker is Butker and Myers

I think Jeffery is a solid pick for value. Getting a guy i think could get 1000 yards, 7-8 TDs as late as i did was nice.

2nd draft i thought was decent too. TE might be a little weak, living in atlanta the past few years ive been hearing how much of a sleeper hooper is lol.

Clowney to the seahawks

Good for him not getting relegated to Miami and getting out of Houston.

Damn

Shady cut by the Bills after they spent the entire offseason assuring everyone he would not be cut.

Bills sign Frank Gore.

Bills sign TJ Yeldon.

Bills drafts Devin Singletary in 3rd round.

"Trust us, McCoy is safe"

jesus christ I can't believe the Texans did that trade

holy fuck that is so bad
---

Well, it was either that or lose him for nothing and he doesn't play for you this year on top of that.

Also, I just learned Barkevious Mingo is still in the league.
---

Pats cut Hoyer. Stidham becomes the next Pats backup to eventually start somewhere else when Brady outlasts him.
---

Wait

Texans traded Clowney and didn't address the huge hole at RB?

Perhaps they will go after McCoy.
---

That's their best option at this point, but damn if he isn't washed up

Texans got Carlos Hyde.
---

why

of all the running backs that could possibly play in the NFL

why carlos hyde LOL

Hey they found one of the few RBs more washed up than McCoy

I can't figure out if the Texans just don't care about the RB position or if they have literally no one who can evaluate it.
---

Fuck, we gave up Tunsil and now don't have an OL. I know we got two 1sts and a 2nd, but damn are we ever going to have a worthy OL?
