I have Keenan Allen and Austin Ekeler going Thursday in week one of the playoffs in my league of record, and I just don't think I can stomach starting either which is scary... it's the playoffs.

But it's a short week with a rookie QB who won't have a lot of time practicing witht he 1's.

I can see both sucking horribly, or being emergency outlets.

It's a good thing pretty much my whole team has good matchups or I'd hate life right now. I dunno what to do.

The Raiders D is quietly very good too so if you have other viable options it's definitely worth exploring.

Here the O/U is 33.5 for the game which is the lowest on the week.

Tough call.

I'm VERY lucky this week.

I have Bijan against Carolina. Kyren against Washington. If I need him, Breece against Miami. In addition to Ekeler against Vegas.

My WR I have Olave vs the Giants, Chase against Minnesota, Devonta Smith vs Seattle, Allen vs Vegas.

It's 2 WR, 2 RB and 2 Flex. So I have plenty of options if I even wanted to sit both. For NOW I have Ekeler in and Allen benched.

Indeed. Right now, I'm having a hard time justifying BOTH Allen and Ekeler, and while I think it's possible Stick throws exclusively to Allen and Allen has a good game, with no practice time, I'm leaning on Ekeler dumpoffs and him having a decent game.

About my only bad matchups are at QB and TE, but I only have one TE in Trey McBride and he's not going anywhere even against SF. QB I have Stroud and Kyler Murray, but Stroud is likely missing the game due to concussion and I'm scared AF to start Kyler vs SF. So I'm looking to stream Flacco or Browning for the playoffs (I can't believe I'm saying that in a win or go home game...).

Derrick Brown should be traded to the 49ers

Yes, I know the trade deadline has passed
www.catscratchreader.com www.catscratchreader.com
The trade deadline has passed for this season, but there are no solutions this season for the Carolina Panthers. Looking ahead to next season, I think the most humane action the Panthers can take is to trade Derrick Brown to the 49ers for whatever they want to offer in return.

The 25-year-old defensive tackle still has years of quality football left in him. His stats line isn't exactly anything to write home about, as is often the case for interior defensive linemen, but his effect on the field was highlighted yesterday by his athletic interception off Derek Carr. Brown is a force on the field who deserves better than the Panthers are capable of offering him.

The San Francisco 49ers are a professionally managed and coached club that is competitive in the National Football League. They also have experience rehabilitating former Panthers.

Former Panthers interim head coach Steve Wilks, who struggled early as the 49ers new DC, has his unit playing with the best in the league. They are second in the league in points allowed, fifth in yards, and second in turnovers forced.

Former Panthers running back Christian McCaffrey is on pace for his second, consecutive 1,000 yard season for the first time since 2019 as well as on pace to score more touchdowns (rushing and receiving) than he ever has before.

I'm not overly concerned about what return the Panthers will see in this deal. They have a fourth round pick next year from the 49ers remaining in their pockets from trading McCaffrey away. The other picks from that trade were No. 61 (part of the Bryce Young deal), No. 93, and No. 132 (both packaged to trade up to No. 80 for DJ Johnson) in the 2023 NFL Draft. Essentially, the Panthers shipped two of their best assets from last season west for no appreciable gain. Let's not quibble over Brown's value and worry more about wasting his career.

The 49ers are exactly the kind of team that Brown deserves to spend his career with. You know, one with a chance of success.

...of course, knowing Tepper, he'd blow this potential deal the way he blew up our draft chances to get Bryce Young...

Make McDaniels look competent, clearly.

Which I'm not sure Brady could even do.

Brady did it for years! Twice! lol

But, yeah, even if he got Brady back... like it would be for one season. So, he'd be exposed still. Either way, you're better off without McDaniels so be happy

Oh I  am happy.

I was referring more to McDaniels as a HC.
