So, those 14 targets Chris Brown had last week? Kind of a big deal. A back has gotten to that number just twice this year, just 13 times in six years. Dating back to 1978 (when target data begins), 114 times for an RB. Obviously the Samaje Perine injury opens it up for Brown.

Rewatching the Vikings and Ravens tonight, because any time you have an opportunity to catch an offense taking eight false start penalties, gotta do it.

I like how the Patriots lead the league in third quarter point differential. That screams out "coaching."

He's right, of course.

Here's my Week 10 notebook, updated with the late games. A fun note near the bottom: why Sam Darnold reminds me of Drew Brees. sports.yahoo.com/fantasy/arti...

A classy man, respected by all. It's a joke Lenny Wilkens didn't win Coach of the Year for turning the 1978 Sonics around (he inherited a 5-17 team, retooled lineup, took them to NBA Finals). RIP, Lenny.

Horrendous safety, entirely on Aaron Rodgers.

Last weekend: great range session, can't wait to play again. This weekend: snow.

Finally had the golden 5-0 last week in Darts. This week, would happily take 3-2. The throws: - Giants +4.5 - Bills -8 - Jags/Texans under 37.5 - Lions -8 - Steelers +2.5 Buena suerte.

Deion Sanders is now 16-18 since he joined Colorado. Somehow won Sportsman of the Year in a season when he went 4-8.

I shuffled up the wideouts, so you don't have to. sports.yahoo.com/fantasy/arti...

I know we want to be careful with recency bias, I've tried to let it breathe a little bit. But that was definitely the best World Series of my lifetime. Drama, heroes, constant changing of the lead in games and in series, strategy, so many memorable plays. The new peak.

Please keep Jacoby Brissett in there, for the good of us all. sports.yahoo.com/fantasy/arti...

The Trey McBride experience, by quarterback: - Kyler Murray: 259 targets, 5 TDs - Jacoby Brissett: 33 targets, 4 TDs

Davante Adams was WR5 after the trade last year, which is obviously excellent. But this case doesn't fit the usual frame -- Rodgers and Adams are a peanut butter and jelly sandwich. Thousands of reps, two HOFers who know every move. Monroe and Frazier, Mike McD and Worm.

Sauce Gardner is obviously an impact player, though he wasn't great last year. But two first-round picks is a major return. Great move for the Jets. Reboot.

OBJ was probably more helpful to the team than to fantasy after the shift to the Rams in 2021, but you're right to mention Beckham as a hit. He was useful. Graded WR28 after joining LAR.

Unlike Parker Washington (I'm still kinda interested), Tory Horton probably gets significantly hurt by Rashid Shaheed moving to Seattle. Saints wise to move whatever non-essential stuff they can, and probably went out of their way to feature Shaheed last week.

Keep in mind the history of in-season receiver trades is checkered at best; usually the WR struggles in new spot. Amari Cooper did well moving from OAK to DAL; shift to Buffalo was a flop. Randy Moss rejoined the Vikings, had little left. Roy Williams missed in Dallas.

I guess leaving the Raiders is good for Jakobi Meyers, but I'll be shocked if he's anything past a quasi-WR3. Chemistry takes time. Trevor Lawrence hasn't been a king maker for anyone. Parker Washington peeps aren't thrilled, but he's already in the building; still make a bid.

Putting the Bengals and Cowboys on the same bye week feels unnecessarily harsh. We need those carnivals.

ICYMI: Here's my Week 9 fantasy football notebook, updated with some Monday tidbits. sports.yahoo.com/fantasy/arti...

Week 9 Darts: Vikings +9.5 Broncos u19.5 Saints u14.5 Steelers +3.5 Falcons +5.5 Buena suerte.

Will Smith skating for the Sharks, homering for the Dodgers, rapping, Fresh Princing ...

George Springer apparently didn't attend the Don Baylor Don't Move Academy.

That Game 7 from the 1960 World Series that you were always hear about? Zero strikeouts in that game. Different world.

I would take Ernie Clement on my ballclub anytime.

Anytime you're ready, Grady Little

Getting an oil change, which means play 85 Bears defense for 15 minutes.

Nobody will miss Kyler on Monday.

Here is my Week 9 traffic cop report, updated for Friday's sea of injuries. sports.yahoo.com/fantasy/arti...

Really fun talk. I hope you enjoy it.

Trey McBride with his two QBs this year: - Kyler Murray: 42 targets, 69% completions, 6.5 YPA, 1 TD, 94.8 rating - Jacoby Brissett: 24 targets, 75% completions, 6.1 YPA, 3 TD, 129.5 rating The rating double-counts this stuff, I get it, but still. No one misses Kyler.

Rock Paper Scissors: Atlanta cleanly beat Buffalo. Buffalo crushed Carolina. Carolina embarrassed Atlanta. As always, the NFL is not necessarily transitive.

this modern love never, ever, ever misses

I already had Freddie Freeman marked as a Hall of Famer, but last night punctuates it. You can't tell baseball history without him.

I can't believe Will Klein's elbow didn't fall off. Heroic. And not easy to watch.

Good for Freddie.

When this game started, Rob Lowe was playing the sax at St. Elmo's.

This Ohtani walk parade kind of reminds you why so many people think the best hitters should slot second.

I can't believe how many waiver wire players you would never look at in a fantasy league are going to decide tonight's game.

I remember Bob Costas was calling the Game of the Week one Saturday. Well into extra innings. He read a promo for the Golden Girls. "I think they were debutantes when this game started."

If the modern televisions were really all that, we'd have a way to filter out the Marlins clown.

If Wendy Byrde didn't kill Jason Bateman, this game will.

May we all age as gracefully as Sandy Koufax. Nobody could ever look him in the face and guess his age.

This just shows how silly baseball is, the bullpen can't be trusted and we're running out of guys and oh, here's somebody who throws 101 without looking like he's even trying. Bring him in.

I don't understand walking Mookie at all. I know it's lefty on lefty but now you lose the wiggle room.

Knish must be running pretty bad on the felt to say yes to these football spots.

Swung at ball four at least twice.

I would have used Koufax before Kershaw, but that's just me.
