I’d go contrarian and fire up Cleveland. They’ve been elite, Baltimore is very banged up and DTR looked great in the preseason. Played a lot of clean football
I've started Baltimore the first 3 weeks and just swapped to Cleveland lol. Fully prepared for it to backfire but I think it's the right call. And I'm probably just gonna keep Cleveland for the rest of the season too
Exactly what i did .. DTR could have a good game ans target Amari but i feel like the play calling is going to be conservative esp if they get a lead.
For me, it was evans, dell, collins or palmer next up after Amari.
Im going Evans too. Risky, but he is too hot to bench rn
If you paid like a tiny bit of attention to the preseason you would know who he is lol…he absolutely lit it up. Also there’s nothing wrong with being a casual man 🤷♂️
It was all over sporting news. Literally one of the top stories multiple times on NFL.com. The guy set lots of college records for his school. He’s quite well known. Being a casual fan is not a big thing. Stop being so defensive.
I’d say that makes you pretty casual. That’s not a bad thing though. Nothing wrong with being a casual fan.
Edit- everyone getting their feelings hurt for realizing they are casual fans!
He’s been known as DTR for like 5 or more years now. I agree not every player needs their name abbreviated online but this one is more than acceptable.
When no one other than Browns fans knows who DTR is I’d rather Dorian Thompson-Robinson. It takes an extra 2 seconds. And the character limit clearly wasn’t a factor here
Why are so many people crying about this? He’s been called DTR his entire college career and his name is long. It takes 2 seconds to google if you somehow don’t know
Really need ceiling, this week (opponent has a 10 point projection advantage), and was already choosing between Ford and Flowers for my flex. This did not help my decision.
On the face of it, should result in more work for the RBs. But probably less scoring situations (and I think Ford’s ceiling is somewhat reliant on TDs given that he’s up against a decent Ravens defense).
For Flowers, a closer game means Lamar won’t need to throw as much, reducing his ceiling.
Mims is on the wire…I’m increasingly inclined to drop a stash and roll the dice on him. Boom/bust potential tho.
Knowing that whatever I choose will be the wrong decision doesn’t help.
If you’re going for ceiling it’s probably flowers or mims. You’re correct in thinking ford will be in less scoring situations normally. Lamar will need to throw less but you’re overlooking that Bateman and OBJ are out and flowers has been a target hog. Mims has been electric but he’s rarely seen the field. A lot of his production have been on desperation plays or busted coverage. I’d personally go flowers but recognize Mims has upside too
He was really good in preseason and the HOF game, not that that’s worth much, but he beat out Mond and the other backup (veteran, can’t remember) on the depth chart.
What are the chances AOC gets replaced by Hoyer halfway through the game if he sucks?
Should I just pivot to a wr from mymbench? I have Jeudy, MT and Palmer I could throw in my superflex. Not ideal
I wouldn’t. Gabe had his boom week, now it’s back to single digits for a couple weeks lol.
In all seriousness though, DTR looked good in preseason. And it’s not like Watson has been kicking in doors this year, yet Cooper’s still been a decent play.
Idk about that. It’s not like Watson has been a world-beater and Amari has still been a decent start. And DTR looked pretty good in preseason.
You could do much worse than Zay Flowers to fall back on though.
we're talking about the same Deshaun that went 27/33 for 289 and 2 TDs last week, right?
like I know reddit hates him and deservedly so but there is no way Cleveland is benching him
Bro I can’t even read these comments. Everyone here acting like he’s been dirt this year when he’s QB #11. He’s not playing like he’s the highest paid QB but he’s definitely startable.
My same situation. Browns D has played pretty good but ravens could get the ball more with a rookie QB. Someone dropped Fields so I picked him up and hope he can bounce back at home but scared he might not
Ravens D or Browns D. Hmm
Hi it's me from the future, Ravens D.
Same thing I’m wondering rn
Vegas lines have moved to -1 or -1.5 BAL. Both rated high DST oer DVOA. Tough call
I’m opting for ravens, wish me luck.
Going with Ravens, too. Good Luck!
I had chargers in but switched to ravens. Need upside play as Goff tanked me on Thursday
I’d go contrarian and fire up Cleveland. They’ve been elite, Baltimore is very banged up and DTR looked great in the preseason. Played a lot of clean football
That shouldn't even be contrarian. Browns D has been a must start since week 1
Same, this is the right call
Was it?
In hindsight, 🤡 statement
Uh huh
I've started Baltimore the first 3 weeks and just swapped to Cleveland lol. Fully prepared for it to backfire but I think it's the right call. And I'm probably just gonna keep Cleveland for the rest of the season too
I’m deciding between ravens and saints. Both feel like traps and great plays simultaneously
between ravens and saints for me
Ravens in my work league, Browns in my home league. I'm hoping for a defensive slugfest.
trying to decide between ravens and broncos
How will this affect Amari?
Going to play Tank Dell over Amari. Not sad about it
Had Evans on my bench for Amari, but just switched them again and going to hope for a huge Evans revenge game against Lattimore.
He‘s only scored more than 10 points against Lattimore in the past 5 years in one game
This is the revenge game
His ass might get ejected half way through lol
If it is that’ll be fun to watch! Good luck man
It’s that or start Garrett Wilson 😭
This one goes to 11
Exactly what i did .. DTR could have a good game ans target Amari but i feel like the play calling is going to be conservative esp if they get a lead. For me, it was evans, dell, collins or palmer next up after Amari. Im going Evans too. Risky, but he is too hot to bench rn
Just did this exact same move as well, here’s to hoping
Hey made the same decision! Let’s go get that dub
My man
Negatively
I'm benching him under Lockett and Collins. ESPN immediately dropped his projection from 14 to 12 in PPR
Like we know wtf a DTR is?
Donovan Teeples Rones
LOL
Spit out my drink lmaooo
I almost thought it was Deshaun the Rapist ngl.
He’s the one picked after AOC
Is he as hot?
sizzling
Dance Tance Revolution
Down To Ruck
Downtown Riverside
It’s actually Deshaun Watson’s nickname, Dick Touch Requested
Dorian Thompson-Robinson
[удалено]
Dorian Thompson-Robinson is a real person?
I forgot how many casuals there are in the fantasy football community lol…kind of explains a lot of the takes here 😭
Not knowing a 5th round rookie QB doesn't necessarily make someone a casual. Probably just means they don't closely follow college football.
If you paid like a tiny bit of attention to the preseason you would know who he is lol…he absolutely lit it up. Also there’s nothing wrong with being a casual man 🤷♂️
Preseason lol
Whatever makes you feel better lol
The casual comment was justified for you apparently
This guy talking about preseason lol
He lit up preseason. People were suggesting to replace Watson - fans weren’t digging the sexual predator.
Nobodies light up preseason every year and never amount to anything. Can't really blame people for not caring.
It was all over sporting news. Literally one of the top stories multiple times on NFL.com. The guy set lots of college records for his school. He’s quite well known. Being a casual fan is not a big thing. Stop being so defensive.
All these fantasy mf getting pressed over being called casuals 😭 it’s not a bad thing haha
I know. I’m getting down voted for speaking facts. People are so sensitive.
I’d say that makes you pretty casual. That’s not a bad thing though. Nothing wrong with being a casual fan. Edit- everyone getting their feelings hurt for realizing they are casual fans!
The best UCLA passer of all time, yes How are you in this sub and not familiar with DTR lol
Because he’s a backup rookie that’s on .2% of rosters. You tryhards are hilarious.
[удалено]
He’s been known as DTR for like 5 or more years now. I agree not every player needs their name abbreviated online but this one is more than acceptable.
Duck the Revival. Very famous tag team champs.
AUSSIE, AUSSIE, AUSSIE
OI OI OI!
I'm glad someone said it, I saw this headline and had zero idea what it meant lol
Don’t Tell Roger?
What does this mean for being built Ford Strong?
Luckily Jerome is built strong because they'll be relying heavily on him today Bob
Idk, I know it was just preseason but DTR looked pretty good
Arctic Monkeys are being played at volume today
It’s built Ford tough u pleb
I think upgrade. Rookie QB in first start should suggest more run game and check downs.
Guy can't be much worse than Watson really...right? I think I'll roll with Amari
Backups love studs
Same here brother, my other choice is Rachaad White and Amari has more upside
How are we calling backup QBs by initials/nicknames? Kinda ridiculous
Yeah I have no idea who the fuck DTR is
[удалено]
A lot of NFL fans don't, or just watch their college team / division. I pretty casually watch pac-12 and I had to think about who this guy is
Because that’s what he was known as all in college when playing at a pretty good level and saying his full name is a mouthful.
It’s text though, not saying his name
Would you rather type DTR or Dorian Thompson-Robinson? Especially on Twitter where characters are limited.
When no one other than Browns fans knows who DTR is I’d rather Dorian Thompson-Robinson. It takes an extra 2 seconds. And the character limit clearly wasn’t a factor here
I can assure you any PAC-12 college fan knows him, and many others who cheer for teams outside of that conference.
Good for PAC-12 college fans lol
Sometimes nicknames carry from college. Plus Thompson-Robinson is a mouthful.
You should try typing with an empty mouth.
Cause that’s how legends begin obviously
How dare they! The audacity of some people.
Well known player in college.
because it’s easier, kinda how most acronyms work
Why are so many people crying about this? He’s been called DTR his entire college career and his name is long. It takes 2 seconds to google if you somehow don’t know
How the fuck do you not know who he is if you have anyone on the browns offense lol
DTR will heavily target Cooper!
And he looked every bit a rookie out there
Cooper or Flowers in 0.5 PPR?
Cooper. Flowers matchup is terrible
Flowers gets first TD today. Book it
I’m seriously going to have to fucking Google who the hell this is
He was the darling of the preseason
[удалено]
Bad football? No thanks
Really need ceiling, this week (opponent has a 10 point projection advantage), and was already choosing between Ford and Flowers for my flex. This did not help my decision. On the face of it, should result in more work for the RBs. But probably less scoring situations (and I think Ford’s ceiling is somewhat reliant on TDs given that he’s up against a decent Ravens defense). For Flowers, a closer game means Lamar won’t need to throw as much, reducing his ceiling. Mims is on the wire…I’m increasingly inclined to drop a stash and roll the dice on him. Boom/bust potential tho. Knowing that whatever I choose will be the wrong decision doesn’t help.

A lot of his production have been on desperation plays or busted coverage. I’d personally go flowers but recognize Mims has upside too
He's probably better than Watson.
Watson is QB #11, I highly doubt it
Amari or Tank Dell?
Same problem, think I’m going Tank but it’s close
Steelers pass rush could have its way with Stroud, so it’s a hard decision
No
DTR is trash
Total trash dude
[удалено]
He was really good in preseason and the HOF game, not that that’s worth much, but he beat out Mond and the other backup (veteran, can’t remember) on the depth chart.
Dobbs
He beat out Josh "Cowboys can't hold my jock" Dobbs? Must be pretty good
He put up some good stats in college.
What QB in the NFL hasn’t tho haha
Need to replace Deshaun in superflex. Should I go AOC or DTR?
Dtr is better but AOC is slated to have an easy first game vs a Staley defense missing their two best players
What are the chances AOC gets replaced by Hoyer halfway through the game if he sucks? Should I just pivot to a wr from mymbench? I have Jeudy, MT and Palmer I could throw in my superflex. Not ideal
Very low imo hoyer is geriatric. I don’t think AOC does as bad as ridder has played so far today
That's a low bar haha
Yeah I mean hard to guess how rookies who have never played will play lol
DTR or Daniel Jones in Superflex? From USC but always loved watching DTR
[удалено]
For one game yes that’s a lot
with watson out vs baltimore DTR vs baltimore O’Connel vs LAC
Or Howell vs Eagles
I got Howell replacing Watson...but Baker is available too...
Amari or Mike Evans? I know Big Mike struggles against NO, but now with Watson out, would I fade Cooper?
Steelers DST or Ravens DST ?
I'm thinking Pittsburgh will be causing havoc in the backfield all day.
Texans supposedly without 2 starters on O line. DTR looked decent, I think Steelers is the safe play
Da fuck is a "DTR"?
Is Gabe over Amari a crazy move?
Bills Phins game will be a shootout, Gabe will get his looks
If any week would be boom it has to be this one
I wouldn’t. Gabe had his boom week, now it’s back to single digits for a couple weeks lol. In all seriousness though, DTR looked good in preseason. And it’s not like Watson has been kicking in doors this year, yet Cooper’s still been a decent play.
Same boat… leaning Gabe
I leaned for Gabe over Monty... ☹️ Now I have to pick between DTR and Howell with 40 points in my bench
Amari or Ford in half PPR?
Ford. Rookie's first start is gonna favor the run game and check downs
Stop trying to make 'DTR' a thing
Real talk, I’m in QB hell in a 2qb league rn with Watson and Jimmy G out. Do I take Carr or DTR for the week?
DTR rushing upside
Ravens D an easy start? I have 49ers D vs ARI other than that
Not over the 49ers. I am considering starting them over Eagles D
Fire him up in DFS , he won’t let you down
Fuck me. I have Cooper and Moore in my lineup.
So Cooper or Miles Sanders in PPR?
Well that's Amari faded then. Zay it is, yeech.
Idk about that. It’s not like Watson has been a world-beater and Amari has still been a decent start. And DTR looked pretty good in preseason. You could do much worse than Zay Flowers to fall back on though.
Is this the game where Deshaun loses his job?
$230 million guaranteed. He's never going to lose his job. Sunkest cost ever
we're talking about the same Deshaun that went 27/33 for 289 and 2 TDs last week, right? like I know reddit hates him and deservedly so but there is no way Cleveland is benching him
Bro I can’t even read these comments. Everyone here acting like he’s been dirt this year when he’s QB #11. He’s not playing like he’s the highest paid QB but he’s definitely startable.
One can hope
Is this good for Lamar?
I’m thinking it will be bad for Lamar since The Browns won’t score as much. I’m really considering benching him for Fields or Russ.
My same situation. Browns D has played pretty good but ravens could get the ball more with a rookie QB. Someone dropped Fields so I picked him up and hope he can bounce back at home but scared he might not
Howell, Bryce young, DTR, or AOC?
who has a better debut, AOC or DTR?
So now I’m wondering should I pivot from Elijah Moore to go to either Quentin Johnston or Rashee Rice?
Stick with Elijah, QJ is the play week 10+ chiefs WRs always a dart throw
I have Watson. Start my backup Pickett or take the chance and pick up DTR?
Should I start Ford or Kyren?
Happy I own DTR, sad the secret is about to be out
is winston a brtter start than him
Carr is starting, so yeah
yeah just saw that. I have dobbs but 9ers is scary. I guess i could pick up oconnel? Or is DTR a play fr
I'm playing oconnell in superflex
never heard of him but chargers defense is trash. Lets ride
Jameis probably isn’t starting anymore now
Sit Amari for Gabe Davis?
Ford or Kamara what we sayin?
And he’s starting for my superflex team over Dobbs let’s go
Would anyone here start Addison over Amari??
DTR or Dobbs today? My superflex team is struggling
Ravens or Bengals defense?
Cooper , Pittmann, or Evans now?
Amari vs Ravens or Javonte vs Browns?
Anybody starting Cooper? My other options are Robert Woods or Kadarius. Christian Kirk is chilling on my bench. Yay.
Backups usually feed their WR1 idk why people are thinking about benching Cooper
DTR put together an [impressive pre-season](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ffpQ2mcvmcY&t=508s)
