Now I remember why FF is horseshit. Got out hot during the 1pm window in my home league...gonna be an easy week. I mean, I'm going to Old Yeller this cat. Then of all the games to go to OT, it's the one where my opponent is a Lions homer and starting MJJ, Golliday AND Hockenson.
It's still winnable. He's done and I need 11 points from Josh Jacobs tomorrow, but hell, he got an additional 7 or 8 points just from the OT period. FF Gods can suck my butt.

Leaving 47 points of Sammy Watkins on my bench in my $$ league certainly sucks

so with Sammy going beast mode..and Hill out a few weeks..Sammy is a must start at flex I guess right?
Michael Thomas/DeAndre Hopkins as starters.
How are yaw doing in your "main" leagues?

Wow. I don't think I've ever had a worse week in fantasy football haha. So bad I can only laugh about it. In my main league, I got more points from my K and DEF than I did my QB (Cam) and my top 2 picks (Conor/Juju). I left Fitz on my bench and my opponent had Ekeler/Carson. Getting dominated. In my big money league, I started Winston. Holy hell he sucks. I got solid production from Barkley and good production from Ridley but crappy to mediocre production elsewhere and will lose. In my new 3rd league, my opponent had Mahomes, Ekeler and really that's all he needed to beat me and my squad with Baker, Mike Evans and company.
I rue that I have zero shared of Lamar Jackson.

I'm hoping for a shoot out tonight. I have Brees, Thomas, Hopkins, & Duke playing 1st game, then Jacobs in 2nd game.

If Jacobs has an Ekeler-type game, I might have a shot at winning one of my matchups.
Might.
That's how low I've fallen.

How are yaw doing in your "main" leagues? well decided to start Russell Wilson Jr. III and bench Dak.. ughhh.. and 2 of my WRs (D Adams and Robby A) got me 3 pts a piece.. not to mention Mixon getting hurt after only getting me 1 pt.. luckily I had the Titans Double Ds.. Henry and Walker go off and Greg the Leg got me 15 my opponent underperformed though so I should get the W.. he's got Watson and Jacobs going along with IDP Vonn Miller. I only have Hopkins so hopefully Watson's points directly increase my total as well.

Big night for me, ended up winning by 60
Having Hopkins & Thomas will end up being huge for me

In my big money league, I actually would have won had I started Tyrell Williams over Breida. Got swept up in the whole "Breida is the starting RB on the depth chart and he dominated the Bucs last season" talk. Also wasn't sure how much I could buy into the Raiders offense just yet. This time last year I would have been super irritated. This year I just shrugged and chalked it up to fantasy football.
Nice to see the Raiders win and Carr, Tyrell, Waller, Jacobs have good games.

RB2
James White or Duke Johnson

Post by eddieeddie on Sept 11, 2019 12:17:32 GMT -5
Neither is an exciting option for Week 2 but probably Duke. Have to figure the Patriots will destroy the Dolphins and thus can just ride Michel/Burkhead to ice the game. White and his pass catching may not be needed after the 1st quarter.

Post by doakley8 on Sept 11, 2019 13:41:15 GMT -5
yea, I got Duke plugged in..the fact that Cohen didn't get any rushing attempts, I can't trust him to get 8 catches again

I'm kicking myself for dropping AP..foolish rushed mistake, as I could use him at flex

I don't see Cam improving at all this season. He's clearly not the same, and is already beat up..and watching the O-line last night looks like he's going to get knocked down and around all year. He's limited running wise as well since he's banged up, I can see them bottoming out and him not finishing the last few weeks, again.

I like the Panthers and Cam but from a fantasy standpoint I was hoping they wouldn't score at the end LOL.

I was flipping between the game and the Democratic Debates and frankly the latter was more engaging.
I have Cam on two teams and Samuel on two teams and yeah, not happy.
Cam's accuracy is awful - which hurts Samuel being a deep threat, his OL doesn't look good and the team clearly has concerns over his health because they show little interest in using him on 4th & 1 to get the 1st down. Namely the last drive where just last season before his shoulder injury Cam would have just rammed his way to a 1st. They instead do a trick play that failed.
What annoys me is I dropped Big Ben in my main league because I didn't want to carry 2 QBs and figured I could ride Cam all season. Then I watched last night and had to waste FAAB to get Ben back on my team since he was on waivers until today. I wasn't sure if anyone was going to bid but I couldn't risk not getting Ben back and having to look at guys like Brissett, Dalton, Stafford etc. if I lose faith in Cam. In the end Samuel had a decent game but if Cam is just going to do quick passes to Moore, Olsen and CMC, not sure I can ever feel comfortable starting him.
As for Tampa Bay..... Winston looked better but still meh, Godwin is awesome, Evans' value is down, OJ Howard is on the back of a milk carton, Barber looked fairly good and it resulted in the talk of RoJo getting more touches being BS for last night.

I agree with all...Joe Buck kept saying "fast ball" almost every time Cam threw it..yea he throw's it hard..but not accurate. I wouldn't trust him, and would have grabbed Big Ben too. Cam's never had good "touch" on his passes anyways.

Post by eddieeddie on Sept 13, 2019 15:55:56 GMT -5
If Ben has a good game, I'm sending Cam to waivers.
Also saw James White is out for the game due to the birth of his child. Sigh. He was my RB2 in my 14 team league and Burkhead was already scooped up.

Drew Brees is expected to undergo thumb surgery as early as today that would be expected to sideline him approximately 6 weeks
- welp for somebody that owns Brees/Thomas that'll about be a wrap for me this year

Post by varsity on Sept 16, 2019 11:50:59 GMT -5
Yeah I own Brees in this league. Already starting out 0-2 so I'm not expecting much this year. Especially since I'm getting NOTHING from Mixon and Connor. Mixon has 17 carries for 27 yards this year smh.
In my money league, actually doing well till I saw my opponent had NE's defense.

Main league Lost by 4.5 points. Thank you Cam for sucking. Thank you Trubisky for sucking and taking Allen Robinson down. Thank you Gruden for keeping Jacobs stuck at 99 rushing yards so I don't get the 100 yard bonus. Now 0-2. And I lost Ben to injury after I just used FAAB to get him AND this team has Juju and an injured Conner. Not looking good folks.
Big money league Won by a lot. Got solid production from Ridley, Tyrell, AB, Saquon, Breida, Ertz. My QB situation is still a mess with Jameis and now Stafford. I did sneakily pick up Demarcus Robinson before the games with my free spot when I moved Shepard to the IR. He went off for 46. Going to try and trade him for QB or RB help.
Work League I'm down 9. I have Baker. Opponent has Chubb. Not liking my chances. This screams big game for Chubb. Got disappointing performances from Mike Evans, Robert Woods and my Kicker/D only got 8 points combined.

I shockingly came back in my money league. I was down 25 points and had OBJ but my opponent had Browns TE Njoku. He went down with a concussion and no catches and Beckham had a monster game with 6 catches/161 yards and a TD. I won by 3 points.

Managed to cling to victory over Obi. Knew Chubb would have an awesome game. Got lucky I guess with the Jets QB situation weighing Crowder down.
0-2 in main league and work league 1-1 in big money league and Scout league
Rough start. I may have gotten cocky because last year I finished 1st, 1st, 3rd, 8th in my 4 leagues.
