Madden Curse strikes again. 😡

Oh. So. Sad.

https://www.nfl.com/news/niners-placing-christian-mccaffrey-calf-achilles-on-injured-reserve-rb-to-miss-at-least-four-games

CMC never fully recovered from his week 17 injury from last year, not sure he'll ever be the same again. Now we're just trying to prevent him from tearing that Achilles. Oof.

R.I.P. to everyone who took him first in fantasy.

I really do feel bad for him. He was finally doing well and was healthy. Hate to see that happen.

Yesssss. Picked up Mason preseason in fantasy. 

Waiver wire to rb1 overnight

All non-money leagues, but I took McCaffrey first in a league I’m joining after another owner bailed. Also kept him in another league. 

I hate the gamesmanship that goes on in the league. I can’t rely on information from them to be trustworthy.

Meanwhile, McCaffrey just broke three tacklers rushing up the middle against me on a Legend Solo. Just hurts.

I am quite certain teams are much more concerned with getting an advantage over an opponent, than they are about your FANTASY football team!

Thank you for that insight. I don’t hate on you for hating that you can’t trust EA to manage Madden competently. How about you let me have my gripes too, ’kay?

Please, carry on... gripe away my good man. There's certainly no shortage of topics to rant about. 👊

Shout out to all the Jordan Mason waiver grabbers!

Sadly this was written. His usage was too high over the last 2 seasons for his 210lbs frame to hold up. His body broke down after 2 years in Carolina after that 1000yd rushing and receiving season.

they saving him to lose to mahomes again

Sad, but true. We've had Jordan P. Mason for three seasons, but Kyle in his sheer genius, has refused to play rookies and young players. Kyle put Brandon Aiyuk in the "dog house" early on in his career, who has easily been the #1 pure receiver. Similar scenario with Mason, he didn't all of a sudden turn into a mini Marshawn Lynch, he's been a very violent BeastMode style runner this entire time.  We've been begging for Kyle to share workload. We could have had the best RB tandem in the entire league.

All the offensive creativity went to Miami with Mike McDaniels, Kyle runs the ENTIRE offense through CMC. No creativity, just ~400 touches for the workhorse. But we're going to pay Brandon $30M a year to not feed him the ball? Oof.

Christian is amazing, but Kyle will never learn. He's trying to replicate his father's success, using the Terrell Davis method to win a Superbowl. It's all he knows. Kyle should have at least three rings right now. He's a high level loser, pains me to have to admit it.

yooo this is facts and josh allen last year he got into fights with his number 1 target has a unusual szn . nfl players should all back off they dont need EA

I agree with not sharing the work load. It baffles me he’s stern on using CMC like a work house this far into his career when other teams are hesitant to run their rookies into the ground like Gibbs and Bijan.
