rest of season, my running backs are OK. (Ekeler, Cordarrelle Patterson, Darrell Williams, and C-EH on IR. I just need to replace Henry on my roster.

[patrickgpe]

Didn’t get Edmunds but got McNichols. He is a lottery ticket that will be given 1st dibs I think at the lions share of pt. AP has missed half a season and doesn’t know the playbook. Will take him some time to get ready and if he doesn’t work out, I can cut him and find someone else or use that roster spot to stream players for the playoffs.

Great week for my roster. Kamara almost certainly out, Chubb out with COVID, James Robinson injured but might play. Luckily I picked up Mark Ingram right away. My opponent has his own RB injury problems but also has D'Ernest Johnson so Chubb's COVID is a double gut punch for me.

[young guns]

Almost 52 points from JT and I'm likely going to lose because my opponent had Jefferson and I wasn't paying close enough attention and started Patterson on Thursday when he didn't play and had another player leave in the first quarter with 0 points.

[jerichoholicninja]

Somewhat in the same situation with Jefferson. All my players put up good solid, average weeks for the first time all season. My opponent had nothing but busts... and Jefferson. Depending how MNF football goes I'm probably going to lose because one player went off.

Man, this is the worst Fantasy Football season I can recall having. I am almost always a Winners Bracket guy. This season, I lost McCaffrey; Edwards; and Carson in the first few weeks. My gamble on Marquez Calloway was a quagmire. I haven’t had Murray for 4 weeks straight. I almost always leave my pivotal player on the Bench. 3-8 and it won’t look kich better any time soon. LOL.

Starting LJax and McLaurin in my win or go home game and I somehow still have a shot because the rest of my lineup is going off. The win wouldn't even be question if these two have even a below average day. Instead I'm going to barely get 1 point combined between my QB and WR1.

[young guns]

I gambled on taysom hill, and it went from a bad choice, to probably break about even, to evil genius in the span of about 4 game minutes.

I accidently started Alexander Mattison, TJ Hock, and at 5:30 PM I had DJ Henderson in my line up. The later I moved out for Christian Kirk. Chubb/Hill didn't even score 20 combined. Whoopsie, but still on pace for nearly 130 points thanks to KC D and Adams/Rodgers.

 

I have been so busy on Sundays and messed up earlier in the season costing a win. Now instead of the #2 seed with a bye I am the #4 no bye.

Picked up Evan Engram for the injured Waller this week. 3 points between QB, WR1, and TE this week. I had Renfrow, Kamara, and Titans D put up almost 90 points between them. If Michel has a great game tonight I might win but this week is just stupid.

[Joseph Zarr]

I have lost McCaffrey, Carson, Gus Edwards, Logan Thomas, and Corey Davis (off the top of my head and I know I'm missing a couple IR players). I lost Kyler Murray for 4 weeks. My season is an utter disaster. I've also developed the uncanny ability to leave at least 1-2 players of worthwhile points on the Bench EVERY week. LOL. I left Bateman on the bench this past week - cost me 15 points (I am in a 1 point PPR League).

I'm about to be 11-3, I don't think I'm going to win it all, but if I do, trading Kenyan Drake for James Conner is going to be a big reason why.

What kind of League are you in that accepts that trade? Goodness. If I proposed that trade in my League this season I'd be laughed at and scorned. I picked up Drake on waivers for a nice 2 week jaunt and back to the Waivers he went. lol.

He proposed it to me. This was after I think Week 2 when it didn't appear that Conner had any real value and was playing second fiddle to Edmonds.

 

Drake on the other hand had had two relatively strong performances. He also has Jacobs and wanted to make sure he had the handcuff. At the time it was proposed it did not appear imbalanced to the Conner side at all.

[jerichoholicninja]

A lot of tough calls for me this week.

 

Jackson or Tua at QB. Jackson is looking to be out so that would make the call easy. Jimmy G is available. I think Tua or Jackson have much higher ceilings than Jimmy but Tua is missing all his RB's and now his #1 WR.

 

Chubb or JRob as my RB2. Almost all of the Browns offense is out with COVID so Chubb should be getting lots of touches. But if he's playing with a bunch of second stringers and everyone knows he's getting the ball I'm not sure he can do much with it. Robinson and the Jags offense has been a total bust the last few weeks but with Urban gone now maybe they'll improve or at least give the ball to Robinson who is clearly their best offensive player. I have Sony Michel too, if Henderson is out again he'd be in consideration for RB2 or flex.

 

McLaurin is almost certain to be out with a concussion but even if he isn't he's been terrible lately. Davante Parker would probably be my pick but I've got him as my flex right now.

 

Darren Waller is also almost certain to be out and I've got no other TE on my roster. Once again, I'll be randomly picking someone up and hoping they can get more than 2 catches for 15 yards.

Got it. Completely forgot about that early season reality...I was too busy watching every one of my High Draft Picks hit the IR. LOL.

Tough calls. I never place my trust in Tua - especially given that reality. I would place faith in Chubb - JRob and Jax are currently a quagmire. If you have that Flex available I'd stash Robinson there. Good luck!

Don't over think it. Chubb and JRob should certainly fill your starting roles and have nice matchups, imo. Good luck at TE . I don't love Tua or Parker's situation against the Jet's. If the Dolphins control the game might not be too many passes. I'd probably lean picking up Jimmy G if Jackson is out. Good luck

 

I have a flex WR decision now as Lockett was placed on Covid list. Choosing from Pittman, Julio and recently picked Osborn if Thielen is out. Only playing 8 team league so there are other marginal options available but none obviously better. I should know pretty well by the end of the Thursday game where I stand this week with Ekeler, Williams, Kelce and Hill. I usually try to avoid players where I can on Thursday as it almost always seems to be a sloppily played game. Wish they'd do away with it. Don't have much choice this week. Hopefully it's a 42-35 shootout.

[jerichoholicninja]

Games getting moved should help me unless it screws me over.

 

Chubb getting many of his teammates back will help, especially now that Hunt will miss the game. Unless Chubb gets COVID Sunday. Then I'm screwed.

 

Renfroe is one of my starting WR but same deal. If he gets COVID Sunday afternoon I'll have no one to replace him for Monday.

 

McLaurin is likely to play now with the game moved but it's still not a guarantee. I can't have him in my lineup and he winds up not getting cleared with no one to replace him on Tuesday. Although I'm 99% not starting him anyway with a rando at QB.

 

I'd love to have Sony Michel as my flex but there has been zero news about Henderson either way since last week. I can't start him and then Hendy get cleared to play and I'm stuck with Michel sharing snaps at best. I don't love it but I have to have James Robinson as my flex as at least he seems guaranteed to play and should get almost all the RB touches against a horrible team.

[young guns]

Love JTs game breaking ability to turn a crappy point total into a good one, going from about 10 points to 23.

Sucks when you are playing against one of his owners, though.

[jerichoholicninja]

Went into Sunday night feeling pretty good - started the sun god at 11:55, JRob had a good game, 49'ers put up a good score, and then Kamara happened. Still pretty confident but that Saints game was a real kick to the nards.

[jerichoholicninja]

Lost by less than 3 friggin points. Derek Carr's fumble and INT were the difference since I was playing against the Browns D and his inability to throw to Renfrow certainly didn't help. So many games I lost this year because half of my lineup crapped the bed while the other half did great. Never have I had a season like this before.

My friend, this season has sucked bad. I join you in the desperation. LOL. I am in the Consolation Bracket for the first time since 2001. LOL.

[Ron Robinsons Beard]

I have a 10-point lead in a quarterfinal game in one of my leagues. My opponent has Van Jefferson going tonight, and I have Dallas Goedert. I have some confidence, but Jefferson has the type of game-breaking speed to take one 70+ yards to the house at any given moment, which could turn my fantasy game on a dime.

 

But I have no one to blame but myself. Believing that the Packers D would shut down Huntley and the Ravens offense, I made the last-second decision Sunday afternoon to put Mark Andrews on my bench in favor of Goedert. I probably deserve to lose based on that terrible decision alone.
