I have 2 boosts left. Can I use them together with my last trade?
Or do I lose the 2 boosts + only have 1 trade left?
Works the same as in NRL 2 trades + 1 Boost per week... that requires 3 trades.... boosts aren't additional trades... they get taken off your trades as you use them

Say for example you got 3 trades left and 2 boosts... You lose 1 boost as you haven't used it

I have 1 trade + 2 boosts. Do I lose both boosts because I only have 1 normal trade left.
I don't have 2 trades to use a boost

You only have 1 trade so yes the boosts are lost.
Boosts allow you to make an extra trade on top of the maximum 2 in any week.
So you would need a minimum of 3 trades left to use a boost.

With Kamara injured, I was forced to field Jonathan Taylor, and it was that luck that I won my three finals games.
Now, I am hoping Darnold can perform similarly when he replaces Hurts.

Good luck to all the finalists, as luck indeed plays a significant role.

I haven't paid attention much to the TE position and have only just noticed how well the Dolphins have been using Jonnu Smith.

Yeah, and quite surprising - to me, at least.
He had 4 years with Tennessee, 2 with NE and 1 with Atlanta and was never a top-15 TE. His best year was 2020, his last at Tennesse, when he was #16 (or thereabouts).
Given Miani already had Hill and Waddle and ran the ball a lot last year I thought Jonnu Smith was more a safety net than anything.
Yet after a slow-ish start he's starred since Tua returned from injury: about the same number of targets as Hill, way more than Waddel before his injury

In addition to the above posts, I'd like to wish everyone a good Xmas and NY.
May it be a joyful, rewarding time for all.

I have the time to post today because I had my Xmas get-together yesterday and it was everything I could have hoped for.

In praise of B Thomas Jnr:
So far this season he has had 7 games with 60+ receiving yards and at least one TD.
In the SB era only Randy Moss has done better asva rookie with 8 games - at least according to one podcast.
His stat.s: 73/112 - 1,088yds - 9 TD, 5 carries - 30yds.
Quite commendable considering he started the season, pre-bye, with only 63 targets in 11 games.
In the 4 games since: 31/49 - 399 yds - 4 TDs. In RDT: 40 ppg for those 4 games.
He is currently WR #6 on the season.
He is only 12 points behind #4 Lamb and 8 points behind #5 McLauren.

Matching competition who have already dipped their feet in the sports market with Netflix not wanting to be left behind. Will avoid any significant rights deal given the investment relative to the purchase of exclusivity for a few games, rights to portions of NFL documentary library or Netflix producing shows similar to Drive to Survive. Partnership allows both parties to target international markets as a means to attract new or returning customers along with ideally assisting retention numbers whilst providing the NFL with more data for interest in international games. Domestically their highest watched program.

Win-win for both parties with the pretence that is of benefit to the fans rather than profitability with the fans to suffer from a segmented market. Makes more sense for “sports entertainment” such as boxing or WWE given promotion and over the top entertainment are the cornerstones. See the Paul-Tyson fight for gullible saps willing to fork out money for a grifter and a washed up has been that couldn’t handle his money and foolishly expecting anything other than a cash grab by all parties.

WWE will be the big test to see how they handle large volumes for weekly shows and premium live events. No more WWE Network means most international markets (US still have partnership with Peacock for a few years) need to subscribe if they wish to access historic events, docos, etc.
