No Michel for today.

[TheRainMaker]

Rivers being inactive bothers me. Is he nursing an injury?

That’s really annoying. That makes it 4 out of 4 if their top picks in the last 2 drafts haven’t seen the field in a regular season game yet. Let that sink in.

No excuse for Rivers. What the f*** is wrong with him now?

 

[SHOWTIME15]

That’s what I thought. But who knows how we’re going to play it with burkhead and hill in there as well.

You can never rely on a patriots RB to be in your starting lineup in fantasy. I have michel and hill, but not to confident fantasy wise in either of them this season.

 

[TBR]

That’s ****ing crazy.

Then there's Dominique Easley/Jimmy Garoppolo (top 2 of 2014 Draft) and Malcom Brown/Jordan Richards (top 2 of 2015 draft).

 

[Gronkowski123]

the last few drafts have sucked. we haven't restocked well.

 

[Flash]

The pick lost because of Deflategate is seriously hurting us bad...

 

[nabwong]

You know who else is not playing? Jordan Richards.

 

[Pessimistic Pete]

the last few drafts have sucked. we haven't restocked well.

Malcom Brown will be the only 1 of our 8 players drafted in the 1st or 2nd round since 2014 that is active today.

Isaiah Wynn (IR)
Sony Michel (Injured)
Duke Dawson (IR)
Cyrus Jones (Gone)
Jordan Richards (Gone)
Dominique Easley (Gone)
Jimmy Garoppolo (Gone)

Not to mention our first pick of the 2017 draft (Derek Rivers, injured) and the 2nd round pick that was traded for Kony Ealy (gone).

Thank God for Tom Brady.

Yeah, the entire rest of the team blows.

 

[RobertWeathers]

So, start John Ross against Indy in my flex over James white?

I don't play FF. I'm a bad source of info.

I just think Hill is gonna run wild today.

Pound the rock baby!

 

[TheRainMaker]

Yeah, the entire rest of the team blows.

That’s not the point.

It was a major reason why they had a 10 year drought in winning a super bowl. You can’t just rely on Tom Brady and think you’ll win.

 

[TinhWoodhead]

No, white is going to get a lot of carries today

if you mean after a lot of dump passes

 

[BaconGrundleCandy]

I'd love to know what the thinking is behind Rivers sitting. Unless it's an injury, which we've heard nothing about, there's no reason for it. Maybe game plan specific regarding Watson.

Who knows

Looking ahead we'll know a lot more next few weeks. Jax, Det, Mia, Indy, KC, Chi, Bills. None present the moving target that Watson does. If indeed that is the issue.

 

[PatriotReign]

Hollister, Crossen, Jackson, Rivers, Schweinke also inactive. This highlights a disappointing situation:

• The top 3 picks from this year's draft are inactive
• The top 2 picks from last year's draft are either inactive or have already been cut
• The top pick from the draft 2 years ago has already been cut

It's also disappointing that the 31 are a bunch of whiny entitled assholes that needed to steal another 1st from us.

 

[Ras-IR Dowling]

No biggie. Whites td made his fantasy day. Anything else is gravy

 

[Jackson 2]

That’s not the point.

It was a major reason why they had a 10 year drought in winning a super bowl. You can’t just rely on Tom Brady and think you’ll win.

Yes, it is the point. The N E Patriots have NEVER relied entirely on Tom Brady, or anyone else, to win. Your take is moronic, particularly when viewed in the context of a team that went 18-0 and lost on a fluke. Don't get me wrong, the Giants deserved to win that game, but for you, or anyone else, to suggest that Brady was the only quality player on that team, or others in the 10 year drought you reference, is either trolling on your part or ignorance. You decide which.

 

[scott99]

Love Michel, hopefully he’ll be ready soon. He can be a huge addition to this offense when he’s 100% healthy.

 

[captain stone]

I hope that Shiny Michelle is ready to go next week, because we are going to need zir.

 

[Jackson 2]

I hope that Shiny Michelle is ready to go next week, because we are going to need zir.

"Shiny"? Nice work...

Thank God for Tom Brady.

Michel will definitely will play with Hill going down and Dawson should both contribute this year. (duke got the IR designation to return.)


Easily would have been top 10 if he was t injury prone. It is the same risk B.B. took with Gronk. Doesn’t pay off every time.

Jimmy got traded because he wasn’t playing.

Can’t defend the other picks.

 

[Brady_to_Moss]

With Hills knee gone it looks like..he better be ready soon
