Our planet is a lonely speck in the great enveloping cosmic dark. In our obscurity, in all this vastness, there is no hint that help will come from elsewhere to save us from ourselves. -- Carl Sagan (Pale Blue Dot)
An elite Quarterback comes along about once every three years. Mahomes looks to be one of them.

The Raiders do not seem to be nearly as terrible as they were expected to be.
Lamonica to Belitnikof was great.

Daryle Lamonica to Fred Biletnikoff, Warren Wells and Raymond Chester was great. Ken Stabler to Biletnikoff, Cliff Branch and Dave Casper was greater.

One thing the Raiders have gotten right...
Over the last five years, they have stayed focused on putting and keeping together a pretty good Offensive Line.
"One problem with people who have no vices is that they're pretty sure to have some annoying virtues."
From Rotoworld with Rotoworld comments:
Raiders RT Trent Brown (knee) is questionable for Week 4 against the Colts.
Brown played through his knee injury last week but was limited to 85 percent of snaps. He's on track to suit up after getting in a full practice Friday. With Jordan Devey (groin) questionable and Gabe Jackson (knee) still a few weeks from returning, the Raiders offensive line will be at less than full strength for Sunday's matchup with the Colts.

According to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport, "there's a good chance" Melvin Gordon makes his season debut Sunday against the Dolphins.
Gordon only has two practices under his belt, but the Chargers are thin at running back after losing Justin Jackson to a calf injury earlier this week. While Gordon isn't ready to step into a workhorse role, the Chargers will likely sprinkle him in to "get his feet wet" in what equates to an exhibition game Sunday against the lowly Dolphins. Fantasy owners can still start Austin Ekeler with confidence in Week 4, though soon he'll be playing second fiddle to Gordon.

From Rotoworld with Rotoworld comments:
T.Y. Hilton (quad) is doubtful for Sunday's matchup against the Raiders.
Hilton didn't shut the door on suiting up this weekend by stating "You'll find out Sunday" when asked about his game status. Still, his doubtful designation is a good sign that he'll sit this one out. The negative for the Colts' auxiliary WRs in this run-first offense is simply lack of opportunity. None of Deon Cain (56% snaps in Week 3), Parris Campbell (45%), Zach Pascal (44%) nor Chester Rogers (41%) have received anything close to a consistent role, as the offense has largely been run through a combination of Hilton and Marlon Mack. Look for Campbell and Cain to get the most additional targets if Hilton is ultimately sidelined.

From Rotoworld with Rotoworld comments:
Colts LB Darius Leonard (concussion) has been ruled out for the team's Week 4 matchup against the Raiders.
The absence of both Leonard and stud FS Malik Hooker (knee, out) is great news for Raiders TE Darren Waller. Only Evan Engram (30) and Zach Ertz (30) have more targets than Waller (29) among all TEs through three weeks. Waller is the overall PPR TE3 and has a real shot to work as a top-five option for the rest of the season with this type of usage, particularly when we're literally just one season removed from Carr enabling Jared Cook to finish as the PPR TE5.

More AB garbage:
"Lawyers for the condo owner suing Antonio Brown for damages have asked that the free-agent NFL star be required to come back for another deposition, claiming he was "belligerent," "pugnacious" and "non-compliant" in last week's attempt.
In documents filed in the 11th Circuit Court on Wednesday, the attorneys asked that Brown be fined for his "tumultuous tirades, defiant rants, use of profane language and refusal to comport himself in a civilized and grown-up manner." They also asked that a special master be appointed to oversee the next deposition.
Brown is accused by the owner of The Mansions at Acqualina, a luxury complex in South Florida, of damaging the condominium. They are seeking more than $15,000 and say the actual property damage was much higher."...
