ILL FL NFL Breakdown🏈🏉🏈🏉🏈🏉🏈🏉🏈

Miami Dolphins

The Dolphins are slated to be a presence in the AFC East. Besides being one of the few teams who could possibly sustain two #1 receivers (fantasy wise). Tua's health will of course always be a concern given the recent history of concussions but at his ADP (average draft position) he is a great value In the rounds he was taken, unless reaches for. Tua could be a fringe QB1. With thier yound gen z head coach implementing a similar style that brought him success in San Frann the RBs committee would be more likely. Moestart is great when healthy. Jeff Wilson is familiar with the system. Achain the rookie is one to keep an eye on. Dolphins also added on defense with Ramsey across from Howard - arguably the best duo of secondary in the league. Geseki is out so all the volume should funnel to Waddle & Tyreek. This was especially evident in week 1.

Atlanta Falcons

Desmond Ridder, is he the future or is he a bust? The season might be the indicator. The NFC South is open thanks to the G.O.A.T. Tom Brady retring for the NFL. The exciting new draft prospect RB Bijan Robinson showed a why he was the 1st RB off the board. What was surprising was the usage Tyler got particularly in the receiving end. It could be an easy in of Bijan OR perhaps a split carry backfield. Drake London was a receiver in the 3 to 6 rounds filling in as a key cog player on many teams. What was more concerning than the output was the lack of targets from the get go. ATL may be a run 1st offense leaving Pitts and Drake in the lower rank of options for the play calling which doesn't bode well for those who drafted them. Teams who invested in Pitts as a mid tier TE are especially angry. The Falcons defense are not that stout but the team could have enough juice to compete for that division with weak offenses with the other NFC South teams.

Los Angeles Rams

The Rams were largely written off. Kupp injury woes had fantasy players skittish about drafting him despite being a target hog from Stafford who usually serves as a via low end QB back up on many teams bench. With news of Kupp out, some in the fantasy world thought Van Jefferson would step up but it was preseason darling Puka who shined in their season debut. Will the rookie be viable once Kupp returns? Will Kupp return? If you have to see a specialist for your hamstring it can't be good. He is this offense. TuTu Atwell has been a gadget player at best, not reliable week to week. Cam Akers was being passed up in drafts due to obvious reasons. Regardless of Akers clear volume opportunity, it was 2nd yr K. Williams that made the most of his snap share. Perhaps with Rams Defense they can be a bye plug n play. Questions about Aaron Donald's will to actually play (contemplated retirement after the superbowl) and loss of Ramsey, we'll have to see where they land in rank. TE Higbee might be the Sleeper late round flier or waiver add that has the most upside.

Cleveland Browns

No one should be surprised about the dominant Browns defense. Sure the off timing of Burrow and company pooped 💩 the bed, but Myless Garrett and friends have played this divisional matchup close in the past 5 years. They knew how to shut the Bengals out & get to Burrow. Chubb I fell has been disrespected as others were ranked higher than him in the draft. He has always produced consistently with only few injuries. Hunt is now gone from the team so the passing volume only boosts his value as a top tier RB. Ford is the back up but observing his week 1 work, on the offset, doesn't seem to be factored in the running game plans. Watson again hasn't played a long stretch of football in about 3 years so adjusting will take longer. The hope he can return to form from his Houston days are the crutch. He has skills that separate him physically from other QBs. He'll need to capitalize on those to justify where he was drafted on teams as a starter. His resurgence leads in the the Amari Coopers and People's Jones of the world. Njoku chemistry with Watson is what to watch.

Dallas Cowboys

Everything is bigger in Texas. The big D put a hurting on the G-men. The past few years with Dan Quinn as coordinator has shown Dallas steadily becoming one of the best (if not the best) defense in the league. Parsons, Diggs, this team is not slacking in defensive Stallworths. Questions abound about Daks place in the organization. The team is loaded and expectations are even higher. This may be common for 🤠 cowboy fans but this year is especially interesting. Take into account the 40-0 prime time win. The box score didn't match the fantasy output. Prescott didn't max out his line and newly acquired Cooks got injured. Pollard showed why the fantasy world were vouching for him to start. Jerry Jones and Zeek parted ways leaving that opportunity for Pollard to become the #1 RB. Gallup is not really a factor. They have a promising crop of new TEs with Dalton off to the other side of Texas. Kellen Moore the coordinator left for the Chargers. Mike McCarthy is now calling plays in addition to his head coaching duties. He too is on the hot seat. Let's see if he can replicate his Green Bay calling Days for this offense.

Detroit Lions

Lions hype train is real. The Lions have built upon thier first winning record season in a long time upsetting a division rival (costing them the playoffs after thier slim hopes were dashed right before the start of the game) running off Rodgers to the Jets. Lions beat the defending Super Bowl Champions Chiefs arguably an upset but smart betting hedge. The Lions are feisty. They have adopted the head coaches moxy and it shows. Goff is slightly more than serviceable. His stat line off the charts. AmonRa is a top tier WR. Gibbs the rookie has high hopes. Even with Montgomery from the Bears coming over and padding his stats, Gibbs is the future. It may be a 60/40 split but as the season progresses we may see a shift. Swift is out and this new RB duo is the immediate payoff. Marvin Jones is back with his OG team but was not a factor. Be on the lookout though. Since week 9 of last year the Lions have played zone defense. After being one of the historic worst - they have gradually become a better pass defense. With Hockenson traded mid season last year, the TE shares are up in the air.

New York Jets

Biggest hype of the off season came to a crashing halt. 4 plays in the first drive of NY great hope Rodgers...out for the season with an Achilles injury. Devastating 💔

Hard knocks, Aaron Rodgers media narrative, the recent lackluster history of the Jets franchise, big QB move, front office drama, arguably one of the best recent drafting years by the GM of the Jets with thier defense (Quinen) and offense (Garrett Wilson), all the stars aligned but a comet came crashing through. Now Wilson's stock plummets. The defense should still be one of the( if not THE) top Defenses in the league. Any of the carry overs from Green to Green (Cobb & Lazard) will not be a factor. The team is being pressured to bring in a vet preferred over the irractic Zach Wilson. But who is out there? Breece Hall may be worked back in slow but he showed out. Those who invested in Cook may have felt let down in week 1 but hold steady. They paid him big money...he will be used.

New England Patriots

Patriots were slated to be an afterthought. They brought it against the eagles. Now they look competent? Well, pencil pavorati (Matt Patricia) is no longer calling the offense. WHY!! Why would Bill have a defensive coordinator call offense plays? A genius but also a wildly abstract choice (wasn't Bills first). Lets face it. A belichick led team is the worst to figure out. He cares about winning and adjusts on the fly. Or doesn't. Makes him a hall of fame coach but a point of contention in the fantasy community. Juju added....nothing. His days are long behind. Mac Jones showed improvement but how much can you bank on with this teams fluid scheme? Bourne might be the best WR they have even if Parker returns. Ramandre still should get the focal point but with Zeek there now, that takes volume. Goal line? Pass targets? We have to wait and see how things shake out. Defense is still viable. Henry is still the TE or is Mike Geiseki gonna factor? Are either getting looks or game planned in?

Baltimore Ravens

The Ravens beat the Texans but boy did it look bad. Dobbins (as bad as I feel for the person) is useless. Injury prone isn't even the word to describe. OBJ addition and Duvernay or Bateman healthy, we should see something in the air yards for Lamar. A new coordinator and Andrews injury status should have shown some promise. Truly is was more of the same. Lamar steals run yards from the RBs. Hill stepped up but Melvin Gordon on the practice squad. Fournette and Hunt haven't signed yet. The Ravens, historically, have a revolving door of RBs who outplay the RBs who made the team or were already signed before the summer OTAs. Hopefully Lamar can repeat that one year he became MVP. Time will tell.

Pittsburgh Steelers

The Steelers defense football wise will donwhat they always do under Tomlin...get better and be more of a nuance. TJ Watt as an IDP is ideal. The preseason was kind to the Pickett Pickens duo but none of that materialized in week 1. In fact it was the opposite. Pickens almost regressed it seemed. Very concerned 😟 Dionte Johnson hurt doesn't help matters. Najee will have the majority of the snap counts so let's see if he can raise himself out of the mid tier RB 3 flex type tanking. Pat F is a TE that is a fringe TE2 that could produce.

Thank you for indulging me in my NFL team by team soap box. Let's check out the Sleeper League below and good luck to all in the ILL this year ⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️

Hi! (: Your tua x kuroshitsuji au got me into the latter, so thank you for that! Do you by any chance have some more non-shippy fic recommendations? PS I adore your writing!😊

Thank you! ❤ Welcome to the 100% happy, not-at-all-angsty fandom! 😆😅

More fics recs:

Volume 1: The Phantomhive Archives by nina_eden

There is a little bit of shipping in this but not between Sebastian and Ciel.

Summary: 1972: an unnamed historian publishes a series of firsthand letters, documents, and accounts writ by the most notorious family in Victorian London, the Phantomhives.

"A haunting, darkly devious collection of letters and notes written by a man history has marked as the 'villainous noble'...his demands are unnerving and his eloquence, chilling; but beneath this facade of enigmatic coolness lies a complex, contradictory figure who history itself seems fascinated with." - Frederick Taylor, The New York Times

"I can't think of a better representation of Victorian letter writing than 'The Phantomhive Archives'. It reads like a gothic novel and when you're done, you can't help but wonder what it would've been like to have tea served to you by Sebastian Michaelis all the while knowing he's probably assisted his master with murder." - John Carpenter, The Atlantic Monthly

"It's amazing that, after having read these letters, you learn that the Queen's Watchdog was almost a Byronic anti-hero...[with] an unrelentingly selfish streak that is never better represented than when he confesses his love to the Lady Elizabeth or interacts with his ever present butler, Sebastian." - Theodora Visitor, The Boston Globe

Haunting by chiiyo86

Spoilers for the manga.

Summary: On a night of fever, someone is knocking at the window of his bedroom.

Insufferable, Concussed Brat by BuruRaven

Summary: “Young Master, are you feeling unwell?”, he asked, uttering each word slowly and carefully.

Ciel looked lost. He blinked sluggishly up at Sebastian, never completely opening his left eye and attempted a prematurely aborted upwards motion with his right arm.

“M-head…hu…ngh…”, he garbled, increasingly more distraught.

Sebastian had seen this odd behaviour before in humans with head wounds. It was mostly reversible, but they should perhaps retreat for tonight.

As Ciel made a weird face and vomited on himself and Sebastian both, the need to return to the house suddenly intensified.

Enjoy! ❤

For the quick drabble prompts: tua + defenestration

Look at me, changing it up! This one is about Diego! Someone stop me from writing a whole fifteen thousand words about Diego and Eudora. I don’t have time for it, but I do have the same deep need to give Eudora good things as I do to give good things to Klaus and Dave. She deserves them!!

…

Diego thought he might be dead.

One minute he had been throwing himself at a guy twice his size in a fourth floor apartment and the next minute he had been thrown. He didn’t remember the fall. His mind had, blessedly, chosen the moment he crossed the threshold of the window to black out. His body remembered though, and every muscle and bone screamed at him in protest as he sat up and checked his head for blood.

There were lights flashing. He couldn’t tell if they were inside or outside of his head.

“Hey! Hey, you!” It was a familiar voice.

Diego groaned and pulled himself to his knees. Outside of his head then.

“No, stay down.”

A hand hit his shoulder and he looked up to see Eudor—no, she hated when he called her that on duty—Detective Patch standing over him. Her brow was furrowed and her lips were set in a thin line.

“You’re a lucky son of a bitch,” she said.

“It’s good to see you too, detective.” He tried to stand up and she pushed harder on his shoulder to keep him down. “Are you gonna cuff me, or do you just like seeing me down here?”

Her lip quirked, “Maybe I do, a little, but no. It needs to look like I’m explaining to you in excruciating detail how stupid you are and how stupidly lucky you are that the woman who called 911 identified you as the person who attacked her attacker instead of just some random asshole with knives who broke into her apartment for no reason.”

“You know I never do anything without a reason, Detective.”

“Please don’t make me actually give you the list of reasons you’re stupid, Diego,” she said. “It really is very long, and you already know most of it.”

“Most?” he asked, giving her what he hoped was more of a smile than a grimace. His face hurt as much as the rest of him and he wasn’t sure he had complete control over it.

“I’ve been keeping some for a rainy day,” she said. “God, Diego, we have got to stop meeting like this.”

“You won’t meet me any other way, and I miss your charming personality.”

“No, I won’t” she said. “And we both know it’s not my charm you miss.”

“It’s a little of what I miss,” he said rolling his shoulders and stretching so he could brush her hip with his hand.

She released his shoulder and smacked him in the back of the head. “Do you need help up?”

“As you can tell,” he said, planting his foot on the cement in front of him and grunting against the pain. He noticed suddenly that he and the cement were damp. Had it been raining when he went inside? Or had he been out longer than he thought? “I’m perfectly capable of standing on my own.”

He tried to push himself up, faltered and fell hard on his knee, let out a colorful string of curses, and then tried again. This time he managed to get himself mostly to his feet and he landed heavy against Eudora’s side as he toppled. She grunted under his weight and pushed him off her.

When he turned to look at her the whole scene slid into focus finally. There were three patrol cars at the end of the alley, lights going. Four uniforms were milling around and studying what he assumed was his path down to the ground which included a broken fire escape railing and an awning with a hole in it.

Eudora crossed her arms and tilted her head. She was waiting to see what he would do next

She was pretty in any light, but the combination of the orange-sulfur lights of the alley and the blue-white-red flashing off the cars managed to make her look like she was made of stained glass: glowing from within, colorful, fragile, shot through with lead bars in spite of the rest. She was just a woman—no special powers, no maniacal father who made her train from the time she could walk, no inbred sense of superiority. She was fragile, and for that reason alone she could be the bravest person he knew. There were other reasons of course, and her fragility was not what made him love her. It was the way she worked against it at every turn, how she chose over and over to be better than those around her.

“Diego?” she asked, reaching for his face. Concern lurked at the edge of her voice. “Do you have a concussion?”

He couldn’t believe she had ever chosen to accept him into her life, no matter how briefly, that she still chose every day not to write him off entirely as the asshole he was. It almost made him want to be a better man.

Then another realization hit him and, against his better judgment, Diego started to laugh, which was unfortunate because how much it fucking hurt.

“What the fuck is wrong with you?” she hissed. She thought a moment, then pulled her hand back and said, “No, I don’t want to know.”

“It’s, it’s de-,” he started, knowing he wouldn’t be able to finish. “De-defen-de.” He laughed harder, holding his hands against his ribs to try and keep them from moving too much.

“Defense?” she said. “That’s what the woman told us.”

“No, no. I can’t say it. The window.” He pointed up.

Diego had never been able to say the word defenestration. Usually his stutter only manifested under pressure, and as such was a sensitive subject, but for this particular word there was a more involved and touch toughened history. They had all learned at eleven that for some reason, that word just would not work in his mouth no matter how much he visualized or practiced. He didn’t figure he’d ever need it, not really. Not after Klaus and Ben had spent a full month ruthlessly mocking him over it by dropping it into conversations he was in. They had even created a List Of Ways To Kill Diego, which was just fourteen different forms of defenestration. It had been creative, but Mom found it and put an end to the whole thing.

When he could catch his breath he said, “I’m glad I didn’t die.”

He was thinking he was glad he didn’t die that way especially because, even though it had been more than a decade since all of that and they’d lost Ben in the meantime, he was sure Klaus would remember and make sure that his cause of death was on his grave marker. Or rather, probably his grave marker would read: DIEGO HARGREEVES – D-DE-DE-DEFEN-SSS. Because Klaus was a fucking asshole.

Eudora’s face softened. “I’m glad you didn’t die too, you jerk.”

“Would you miss me?” he asked.

“I would consider it a real pleasure to be able to get to miss you,” she said. “But apparently you’re the only one around here with any luck at all.”

(Send me a word + fandom/character and I’ll write you a quick thing.)

Week 7 Already!

Thursday Night Football

(4-2) Black Mambas @ Ultimate Savages (3-3)

Ultimate Savages and Black Mambas will be forced to start their backup Quarterbacks in a big Thursday Night battle.

Projections have these two twos tying.

Black Mambas defeated Ultimate Savages in their only match-up thus far in Week 7 of last season by 16.

History To Repeat?

(0-6) Balls Deep @ Yuba City Sultans (5-1)

Balls Deep has never lost six straight in franchise history until now. They have continued to suffer injuries, losing Logan Ryan now to I.R. - that is a total of six players on injured reserve for Balls Deep.

Yuba City Sultans had only started 5-1 once before, in 2016, when they lost Week 1 to LilShupeScoresBIGPoints like they did this season and then rallied off five straight to then lose in Week 7 to the worst team - will history repeat itself?

Yuba City Sultans leads the head-to-head series 1-0, defeating Balls Deep in Week 12 of the 2020 season by 93 points.

Looking To Maintain Perfection

(2-4) Hyrule Empire @ Straight Edge Society (4-2)

Straight Edge Society will look to maintain perfection over Hyrule Empire, as Straight Edge Society holds a 5-0 record all-time over Hyrule Empire.

These two teams have not played one another since the 2018 season in Week 7 when Straight Edge Society defeated Hyrule Empire by 7-points.

Hyrule Empire should have Running Back Johnathon Taylor back after being sidelined for two straight weeks.

Showdown in South Beach

(3-3) Evolution @ Hahn's Hitters (2-4) - Division Game

Evolution will have Tua Tagovailoa back after two weeks of being sidelined due to back-to-back concussions, while Hahn's Hitters may be without Russell Wilson, who is dealing with a hamstring injury. Evolution dealt Chase Claypool to Black Hole Son in exchange for Michael Gallup and Kareem Hunt.

This will be their first time facing off against one another in what should become a twice-a-year battle within the division and bragging rights for Miami.

Early projections have Hahn's Hitters pulling off the upset against Evolution.

New Kid On The Block Versus Struggling Veteran

(1-5) Rainelo Hawks @ Rice-A-Roni (5-1)

Rice-A-Roni reigns as the best team in the league after a tight victory over once-undefeated, LilShupeScoresBIGPoints last week. Rainelo Hawks defending Super Bowl Champions, continues to struggle, falling to 1-5.

Rice-A-Roni will be without some key players, including star Quarterback Josh Allen. Early Projections have Rainelo Hawks pulling off the surprising upset. As thoughts going into this game, Rainelo Hawks would have been favored.

Rainelo Hawks have acquired JuJu Smith-Schuster from The Busy Killers to help bolster their receiving core.

Do-Or-Die

(5-1) Black Hole Son @ VanillaGorillas (1-5)

VanillaGorillas come into Week 7 in a must-win scenario. In a division with three of the best teams in the league, VanillaGorillas must win this match-up against the top team in the Cascadia-Sunbelt division to keep their season alive. Black Hole Son continues to look impressive, pulling even further away in their division after moving to 3-0 within the division and 5-1 overall.

VanillaGorillas holds the record over Black Hole Son at 9-5, with Black Hole Son getting the win last season in Week 4 by 62.

Projections show Black Hole Son winning by the slightest of margins, 2-points. We'll see if the newly acquired receiver, Chase Claypool, will come into play.

Sunday Night Football

(5-1) LilShupeScoresBIGPoints @ Crocs (4-2) - Division Game

This will be their first time facing off against one another. Both teams are coming off difficult losses last week, and neither will want to lose two straight in a big division match-up with so much at stake.

Crocs can leapfrog into first place in the Northern-Midwest with a win and a loss by Straight Edge Society.

Ryan Tannehill will get the nod in place of Matthew Stafford for Crocs, who are projected to defeat LilShupeScoresBIGPoints by 9-points by early Vegas odds.

Monday Night Football

(2-4) The Canadian Cripplers @ The Busy Killers (2-4)

Old division rivalries meet up in a Monday Night clash of 2-4 teams. With both teams vying for a position, neither can afford to lose. These two teams have some of the more exciting games regardless of record.

The Busy Killers hold the record over The Canadian Cripplers at 7-6-1.

The Busy Killers defeated The Canadian Cripplers twice last season before moving into a new division this season. With the acquisitions of O.J. Howard and Donovan Wilson, The Busy Killers, hope that trading JuJu, who was finally coming on, doesn't bite them in the behind. While The Canadian Cripplers have been rumored to be looking for a Running Back through the trade market.

Raiders' Pierce on Tua Tagovailoa: 'I'd tell him to retire'

Tua Tagovailoa’s health could set off Giants’ draft boldness

One player the Giants absolutely, positively will not take could hold the key to their 2020 NFL Draft strategy. That player will be in Indianapolis next week for the NFL Scouting Combine, will not be doing much of anything on the field and yet the Giants could benefit from every shred of positivity that player generates.

The more confident NFL decision-makers are that Tua Tagovailoa will be healthy for this coming season, the more enticing he becomes and the more likely a team out there is willing to trade a package of picks to the Giants to get him.

Now then, Dave Gettleman has presided over seven drafts as a general manager — five with the Panthers and two with the Giants — and has never traded down. Never. He selected 28 players with the Panthers and 16 in his two drafts with the Giants (plus one more in the supplemental draft). However: Gettleman’s new head coach, Joe Judge, was shaken off the Bill Belichick tree in New England, and no one is more aggressive trading down in drafts than Belichick.

Nothing creates a trade-up frenzy as feverishly as the presence of fresh quarterback blood in the water. Joe Burrow of LSU is the presumptive No. 1 pick to the Bengals — as long as Burrow does not pull a John Elway or Eli Manning and insist he will not play in Cincinnati. Justin Herbert of Oregon was named MVP of the Senior Bowl and will be a high pick.

Then there is Tagovailoa. Remember when “Tank for Tua” was all the rage and it was assumed the Dolphins were trying to lose on purpose to land the Alabama lefty? Tagovailoa’s NFL value was thrust into uncertainly when he suffered a severe hip dislocation and fracture Nov. 16 against Mississippi State.

Tua TagovailoaGetty Images

Reports state his three-month CT scan revealed his hip has healed. Tagovailoa will not participate in drills at the combine but will use the week in Indy to meet with teams and explain his physical progress. For many, many players, this flow of medical information is the most important single aspect of the combine.

“I’ll be participating in the combine, but my main goal is not to win the 40, not to win the bench press, but to win my medical,” Tagovailoa recently told NFL Network.

Tagovailoa at Alabama also underwent surgeries on both ankles, broke his nose and suffered a concussion, and, along with the hip surgery, his injury history is the only alarm he needs to silence. As a quarterback prospect, he is everything the NFL is looking for.

If Tagovailoa can assuage the medical fears, teams will be willing to trade up to get him. The Redskins at No. 2 do not need a quarterback and the Lions at No. 3 and Giants at No. 4 are not in the quarterback market. The Dolphins (No. 5), Chargers (No. 6) and Panthers (No. 7) will be thinking quarterback and there’s a chance the Jaguars (No. 9), Raiders (No. 12), Colts (No. 13) or Falcons (No. 16) could be as well. And what about the Patriots at No. 23? Maybe behind all the smoke of moving on from Tom Brady there is actually some fire and if so, it is highly unlikely Belichick is sold on Jarrett Stidham. Moving up 19 spots to the Giants would be difficult to pull off, though.

This could be the right time for Gettleman to trade down, as there is a chance the player the Giants ultimately covet at No. 4 (perhaps linebacker Isaiah Simmons or one of a handful of offensive tackles) is available a few picks later for them to grab.

The Dolphins own three first-round picks — 5, 18 and 26. The Raiders have Nos. 12 and 19. The Giants are not one player away from contending and this is a draft where the players taken from No. 4 to No. 12 could all be eye-of-the-beholder as far as value. Imagine if the Giants could trade down a few spots and still land an offensive tackle (Andrew Thomas, Mekhi Becton, Jedrick Willis or Tristan Wirfs), a Day 1 starting defensive player (Derrick Brown, A.J. Espensa, Javon Kinlaw or Grant Delpit) or as a trade bonus, a weapon for Daniel Jones such as Jerry Jeudy, CeeDee Lamb or Henry Ruggs III.

Gettleman values his picks but has never said he is philosophically opposed to trading down.

“It kind of just never happened, I guess,’’ he once explained. “There was nothing ever meaningful enough that would keep me from the player that we had who was there for us to take.’’

All this hinges on teams salivating to get at Tua. The courting heats up next week in Indy.
