WELCOME BACK.  Another Wednesday, Twelve more Takeaways from this past week's action.  Alright, that's enough small-talk. Let's ride.  1. We had ourselves a good, old-fashioned Thursday night Ja'Marr Chase points explosion. More like a pants explosion for people that started him, am I right?  Anyways, it was a night to remember for Ja'Marr Chase fantasy owners as he more or less won a good portion of the matchups he was a part of before they got started. The feeling of dread for folks that were going against him and didn't check the box score until the next morning is the stuff of fantasy nightmares.  Chase caught 11 passes for 264 yards and 3 touchdowns in the contest putting up 49.90 fantasy points in half-PPR leagues, a performance for the ages.  Somehow, the Bengals lost the game and fell to 4-6, BUT if you're a fan of bargain buys they're +130 to make the playoffs and Joe Burrow is in God-mode with two straight QB1 finishes.  After going nuclear thi

This might be my personal flu game.  There’s some bad news to address right off the jump.

That's right, it's another Twelve Takeaways presented by Olive Garden.  Happy Halloween to YOU!  The best Halloween movie of all time, no debate, is  Ernest Scared Stupid.  If you don't agree with that statement, click at the top right of this window and get out.  Now.  I'm serious. You don't deserve Ernest, and you sure as HELL don't deserve Rimshot. Sorry to get aggressive there, don't leave.  It's just that here at the Fantasy Football Boys Fantasy Football Department, we pay homage to the great work done by Jim Varney over the years. May he freakin' rest in peace.  As we all know, Halloween can be a very spooky time of the year. You wanna know what's more terrifying than Halloween and all its goblins and ghouls? Having a bad fantasy football team and all your friends making fun of you. Hopefully if you've been reading this every week, your season hasn't been overly frightful, plagued by injuries and bad-luck losses. Whatever the case,
