Pats trade Bennett to the Cowboys for a bag of footballs.

The best part of this trade is no longer having to root for Michael Bennett.
---

The footballs and bennet equally passed being full of air

---

Bruh

Diggs pls
---

Redskins not losing yet. Apparently there are protests against the name.

sucks that he didn't like being a rotational player

the DL is deep and he's getting old
---

I deserve all the L's for thinking Kirk would get me points in primetime.

He's playing well but not fantasy well.
---

I need Kirk to desire more revenge.
---

My opponent has Kirk and picked up Rudolph to fill for Andrews like 20 minutes before the game. I was really really concerned when Rudolph got two looks super early

That Cook TD being a handoff instead of a dumpoff was the best possible situation for fantasy, basically.

I hit on Cook as my 1.5 flex in DFS, but need Kirk to start performing to actually win anything significant. Give me more Kirk to Cook.
---

I hit on Cook as my first round pick (#9 out of 14) in one league, and every time I look at my work league I kick myself for taking Adams at #9 (Out of 12) instead. But seriously the only other person I would want over Cook in a 1.5x flex spot is probably CMC.

Titans well beat the bucks

I wish I hit on Cook anywhere in season long fantasy. This is Fanduel where you pick one of your players to score 1.5x everyone else.

I did start Cousins in regular fantasy though, so that's going poorly.
---

I know what DFS is, even though I don't play it. I'm just pointing out that if I did, I probably put Cook in that spot literally every time as long as he isn't playing against the Bears.

Yeah it seems most people did that when looking at who is above me on the leaderboard, but they mostly also went with Diggs instead of Cousins so that's where I can make up ground, as long as it's not Diggs catching those balls.

I missed the start of the half, why was Haskins out there?
---

keenum is apparently concussed
---

Keenum appears to be in concussion protocol

There goes the Redskins cover then
---

ok let's see a miracle out of Haskins and AP making this competitive

It's looking good for this drive.

# 3 in a 12 team league, I have both CMC and Cook. And Godwin. I am 7-0 <_<

man Cook was literally not at pick 16 in my 12 team, let alone 22/23 what the fuck

but yeah you'd better be 7-0 with those three

so uh

what the fuck was that drive?

Bad
---

Cousins as my backup with Lamar Jackson in a bye =

This could have been me but I had Cook the last two years and was tired of being disappointed so I drafted Gurley over Cook. Hasn't stopped me from going 7-0 too but still!

Should note that I'm in a keeper league and CMC was my keeper at pick 1.12
---

shoutouts to Dan Bailey

There's a reason the Cowboys had him for as long as they did.

This drive has been heartbreaking as a Cousins owner
---

Let Cousins throw

This drive has been fucking fantastic

(Only downside to this game is that I'm also playing against Vikings D, but I can't count on everything to go my way with TNF so)

Victim of the game plan

Also heartbreaking for anyone who took Vikings to cover
---

How about we let Cook get a TD
---

Throw the ball you cowards

As long as it's a handoff and not a pass from Cousins, sure!

Also faint hope for the cover!
---

If they get a first down the game is over

edit: nope no cover
---

actually the best here may be a field goal?

I get fantasy points for it, Cousins doesn't, and I get to laugh at anybody who took the Vikings to cover

Fuck
---

I don't understand that play call

but hey, sure.

The Vikings only scored 19 points and never had to punt. What a weird game.
---

Redskins seem to make every team play ugly football. They aren't good they just seem able to make other teams bad.

Also, Thursday games teams are never as sharp as they normally would be, so that probably had something to do with it too
---

Well, the home team usually dominates, so I was kind of hoping for that from Cousins.
---

Well he did dominate, he just couldn't control the coaching staff's perpetual hard-on for running the ball
---

Running the ball was 100% the right thing to do though. The game was over, kill the clock.
---

Cousins played fantastic real life football last night (look at his accuracy lmao), and it's not his fault you didn't get many fantasy points for it.

I know, I'm partly just salty as a cousins owner, but it does feel like there's been times this year where they insist on running the ball even when cousins is picking apart the defense and/or cook is struggling to run well.

Also Reg I hope that was at leon and not me, I am on the cousins train here.
---

they paid the man 80 million for nights like these
---

Oh, he definitely played well. He isn't obligated to get 300 yards or throw a TD to help fantasy owners.

It was at everybody salty about the number of fantasy points they got from Cousins last night, and not at anybody that isn't.
