First up: Buffalo Bills. I don’t know what Sean McDermott is doing, but it’s time for the Bills to fire their head coach. The man basically handed the game to the Texans. Instead of running out the clock, what does he do? He has Josh Allen throw three incompletions, then punts it away. Next thing you know, Ka’imi Fairbairn drills a 59-yard game-winner. Thanks, Coach. At this point, Buffalo is going to fumble their playoff hopes faster than a bad draft pick on your fantasy football draft boards.
Speaking of letting teams walk away with a win—did anyone see the 49ers blow a 10-point lead in the fourth quarter? Enter Baby Yoda, a.k.a. Kyler Murray, who led the Cardinals to a ridiculous 24-23 comeback win. The 49ers aren’t that good if they can’t hold a double-digit lead in the fourth quarter. We’re over here talking about playoff teams, and you’re letting a mini-Jedi ruin your season.
Now, let’s shift to something positive—Captain Kirk Cousins threw for 509 yards and 4 TDs in Thursday night’s win against the Bucs. You read that right, 509 yards. The Falcons might have the best offense in the NFC (yeah, you heard me), even though Bijan Robinson has been a total fantasy football bust. At least their QB is showing up.
Speaking of showing up… or rather, not showing up, the Jets got absolutely London broiled in England. Aaron Rodgers was so bad that he threw 3 interceptions and got his head coach, Robert Saleh, fired. That’s an achievement, folks. Now the Jets better get on the phone with the Raiders and beg for Davante Adams, or this season is toast. And the team they lost to the Vikings are 5-0 and cruising to the NFC North title like they’re playing Madden in rookie mode.
Meanwhile, over in Pittsburgh, it’s time to let Russ cook. Russell Wilson is healthy again, and let’s face it: Justin Fields lost his last two games and looked awful against the Cowboys. The Steelers should make the move because Russ is cooking, and Fields is… well, microwaving leftovers at best.
We’re also officially on Jameis Watch in Cleveland, folks! DeShaun Watson is cooked. He’s a shell of his former self. Is it time to unleash Winston? Maybe. Maybe not. But if the Browns keep playing like this, they might need a new quarterback in next year’s draft.
As for Joe Burrow, he might be the best quarterback in football, but the Bengals are 1-4, and there’s no way they’re making the playoffs. After shanking a game-winning kick in overtime, they let the Ravens march down the field, where King Derrick Henry ran for 92 yards and a touchdown in Baltimore’s thrilling 41-38 overtime win. Henry even surpassed 10,000 rushing yards and hit 100 touchdowns. Absolute beast mode.
Oh, and don’t sleep on the rookies. All three starting rookie quarterbacks are going to make the playoffs this year. That’s right—Jayden Daniels in Washington looks more like an MVP than Rookie of the Year, Caleb Williams is making the Bears look like geniuses for trading away Justin Fields, and Bo Nix has the Denver Broncos riding a three-game winning streak. Can you believe it?
This season is wild, and it’s only getting crazier. So, while you’re struggling to adjust your fantasy football draft boards, just know—anything can happen this year.
