Ben Gretch @bengretch.bsky.social · 25/09/2026Fwiw, not sure if I’m reading correctly, but if it’s classified as a fumble, Kraft won’t get a stat correction. That classification is quite relevant; those yards go into a different category than anything that counts in most fantasy leagues. 130
Ben Gretch @bengretch.bsky.social · 25/09/2026There are caveats about intent with some of the stuff, and I think if Kaleb catches it there’s a difference there 110
Ben Gretch @bengretch.bsky.social · 25/09/2026Respectfully, it makes sense to me. I happen to be watching the game back, so I just watched the play again. As Love steps up, Kraft is preparing to be an escort block. The swing is clearly to Kaleb. Zero intent to involve Kraft, who just happens to grab a live ball after a deflected lateral. 220
Ben Gretch @bengretch.bsky.social · 25/09/2026Oh, sorry, I thought you were genuinely asking how it would be classified. That's how it gets classified. Same thing as when a halfback drops a toss play and then covers it up, or a snap over the QB's head. It's not a rush for lost yardage. 210
Ben Gretch @bengretch.bsky.social · 25/09/2026Because it’s backward and not even intended for him, I believe it goes down as an aborted lateral and then it’s essentially fumble recovery yards 100

Ben Gretch @bengretch.bsky.social · 25/09/2026One of the things that happens when you take an undervalued guy as your WR5 in basically every league and then he hits is you realize it’s kinda nuts to have him in basically every lineup 250

Ben Gretch @bengretch.bsky.social · 23/08/2026I do think to the extent it might be true that Watson's career tanked because everyone turned on him, and that broke his psyche, it's an incredible story of karmic justice. (Obviously he still has all the money, but it's still a small victory.) 260
Ben Gretch @bengretch.bsky.social · 23/08/2026That's absolutely right. The excuses about how a team would have had to give the Ravens two first-round picks to sign Lamar don't carry water, when Watson came with even more compensation via trade. There was other speculation the Ravens would've matched any offer, but you still force their hand! 030
Ben Gretch @bengretch.bsky.social · 23/08/2026At the time, I drew the comparison to Tiger Woods post-rehab for sex addiction, etc., where I think he just wasn't able to be the same golfer because he went from everyone on the course loving him, and a ton of support, to coming back to pretty constant boos and jeers. 100
Ben Gretch @bengretch.bsky.social · 23/08/2026I think I was low on him, so not a personal note, but it def wasn't just fantasy. Multiple NFL teams had a full-on bidding war for him, it was publicly reported the Browns were out, and then the Browns pushed the nuclear button of fully guaranteeing his contract to get him! 241
