Not sure who to play in one of my flex spots for my fantasy playoff game this weekend.....Garrett Wilson against Washington (31st worse defense vs wide receivers) or Bijan Robinson against Indianapolis (32nd worse defense vs running backs), but we're talking about QB Wilson and the Jets here....or.....I hate Bijan's usage by Atlanta.....so I don't know here.....

They're both floor plays despite Wilson's matchup. Robinson could well have 1- point again so I'd go with Wilson.

That is where I am leaning.....I used Robinson last weekend...just feels like he is due for a "good weekend" now, especially with this matchup and Atlanta needs a win to stay in the hunt. Maddening why Atlanta doesn't use their best asset on offense a lot more.

Arthur Smith is the stupidest coach in the NFL. The Falcons would probably be leading that division comfortably if he'd just run the offense with Heinecke at QB through London, Robinson and Pitts.

Probably just taking a break.

[dcowboy7]

Good chance DET is 3 seed
Good chance LAR is 6 seed

They would play each other then in wildcard game stafford v his old team that would be great.

[BizCat]

Or a two seed.

Man, what a lousy, bizarre way to go. Hillsborough is a huge county and he's apparently the first person to have this listed as their cause of death there.

Former NFL player Mike Williams died of dental-related sepsis, medical examiner says

Former NFL player Mike Williams died from a rare form of sepsis related to dental health problems, according to a medical examiner's report released Friday.

Williams, 36, died Sept. 12 after being hospitalized following a construction accident while working as an electrician.

The wide receiver played four seasons with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers after he was drafted out of Syracuse in 2010. His best season was as a rookie when he led the team with 11 touchdowns and had 964 receiving yards. He also played for the Buffalo Bills and was on the Kansas City Chiefs' roster before leaving the NFL in 2016.

The Hillsborough County Medical Examiner's report says the cause of Williams' death was bacterial sepsis traced to a dental infection and “retained tooth roots.” The report is preliminary. A full autopsy will be released later and include toxicology and other information, officials said Friday.

The initial report also cites cardiovascular disease as a contributing factor in his death, which is listed as natural.

This is the first time in Hillsborough County that a death has been attributed to this specific type of dental sepsis, according to the medical examiner's office.

NBC Sports was live at the Bills/Chargers game doing a pregame show. I turned the channel briefly, I then went back to NBC and now they are showing some sitcom. What the heck is going on at NBC?!?! Where did the Bills/Chargers game on NBC go to?

[Eschenpod]

It's only available on Peacock network.

Bills back to playing like trash?

They do a pregame show and go live from the stadium only to bail on it. What a ghetto move by NBC.

[Eschenpod]

Yeah I'm not paying for Peacock to watch this game.

[Mike0284]

What a wild 4th quarter.

If your in markets that get those teams wkly then its on an OTA channel.
The wildcard playoff game on saturday nite jan 13 is also peacock only.
So if youre gonna get peacock to watch that wildcard game you might as well sign up now for this wks game too since they both fall in the 30 day window.
I signed up last nite its $5.99 for 30 days.

Oh also on both peacock games they are supposedly gonna be commercial free 4th qtrs so that should be interesting.

I know im glad i bought it & i wasnt a cheapo.
+ i had BUF to close out a 10 pt teaser so that easily paid $$ for it.

[Batman1980]

The Bills slid all up in the Cowboys' DMs and then almost lose to Easton Stick. I can't wrap my brain around it.

Its the spinal tap thing - cant go to 11 every game.
Come off a big emotional win at home.
Now on the road / short wk / christmas distractions / playing a crummy team / other team happy coach got fired.

Its like lakers winning that dopey in season tournament cause for some reason lebron really wanted to.
They then lose 5 of their next 6 games - just not the same motivation anymore.

Thats why i bet BUF in a 3 team 10 pt teaser along with KC & PHI.
Moved their line from -10.5 to -0.5.
Was confident they would win....but by 11 ?? eh not so much.
