(+) Yeah! (+)

I think this is the first time this year where the previous topic hasn't purged by the time the new one was posted.

Ok guys, four words

ya go my Titans

---

Is this the week the Pats drop 50 on the Raiders?
---

well I made the right choice in the ladder contest (I spent the entire time since posting that considering switching my WR choice)

My fantasy team isn't faring quite as well, sadly.
---

so the titans are bad
---

That was a hell of a play LOL

imagine how bad the Ravens must be to lose to the Titans

and yet they both will probably make the playoffs because the AFC is such a dumpster fire this year
---

That's my (fantasy) QB.
---

I've got Big Ben and Mariota in my main league which starts 2 QBs. I can't complain so far.

My other league is 1 QB and that's where I have Brees.

After the draft I was pretty confident in my picks, but I managed to get the one year where Brees and Roethlisberger decided to not be consistent.
---

I mean, if you'd told me this time last year (Or even in early August) that in 2017 the Saints would be a run-heavy grind it out team, I'd have called you absolutely insane

But here we are
---

I also have Antonio Brown in both leagues.

I'm having a good game.

and because of that nobody wants to believe the Saints are good because it still feels like a dream
---

I have Juju, and I was planning on riding that train all the way to the top (Alongside the Evans/Thomas duo that I somehow ended up with) under the logic that he's talented enough to make it work, Ben clearly likes him, and Brown would be getting the bulk of the defensive attention.

It worked the last two times, but he's not getting the targets tonight ~_~
---

I thought this camera angle was cool in the Patriots fog game, but I'm not sure it's something I want to see for the majority of a game. You can't even see the receivers who are lined up out wide before the snap.
---

Brown always manages to get at least 25ish points in fantasy, it's nuts

another 30 tonight so far
---

and I've never been fortunate enough to get Brown in fantasy

I had the third pick this year and I was sure I'd get him because I thought David Johnson and Bell would go ahead, but Bell went 1st and Brown went 2nd, so I got David Johnson and 'whoops'

In PPR? He's only showing 22.5 so far in my (Standard) league

I had 10th/12, and I got stuck on the autodraft because the draft was on company time and I had to put out some metaphorical fires during it

Evans, Thomas, Pryor, Brady, (Spencer) Ware, Gillislee were my first six

I guess half of them are still on my team?
---

I just play in some league my dad makes, I assume he just uses ESPN's standard fantasy rules
---

my two best picks in my draft this year were Jags D/ST and Alvin Kamara, and they were two of my last three picks

He hasn't been very good over the last 3 weeks (1 of which was a bye). 4.7 and 7 in non-ppr. I play on Yahoo though.

I play in a 10 team and 14 team league. I had the fourth pick in both drafts. It felt like Christmas when he somehow fell to 4 in my first draft, and then a week later it happened again. I couldn't believe it.
---

I just went back and looked at my draft and my Top 7 picks are still on the team (only because I put Dalvin Cook in the IR spot as I plan on him being one of my keepers for next year). Then Dalton in the 12th. Everyone else I've dumped. Could have been my first 8 picks but I dropped Doyle and he got picked up.
---

I've dumped:

Pryor (3rd)
Ware (5th, dumped before week 1 because of the injury)
Gillislee (6th)
Moncrief (10th)
Cobb (11th)
Rawls (12th)
Flacco (13th)
Gates (14th)

meanwhile, I've kept my kicker (Tucker), both defenses (Seattle/Baltimore) and the TE (Rudolph) that I got stuck with and they've all done reasonably for me, in addition to aforementioned Evans/Thomas/Brady trio.

At this point though I'm just flat bitching, especially because my theoretically top 5 WRs have both drastically underperformed this year.
---

I essentially punted RB in both of my leagues. I went WR, WR, WR, QB with my first four picks with the assumption that someone would get injured. It's how I ended up with Mackinnon in both leagues and Kareem Hunt in one.

I'm 9-1 and 5-5 so I'd say it's worked out fairly well.
---

I wound up with Mixon/Martin (And Aaron Jones until he got hurt) after basically punting RB. I picked up Jamaal Williams and Burkhead this week, but I don't know if I can trust either one over what I've got. Which is sad, because that's an incredibly low bar.

I'm 6-4 and part of a three-way tie for 4th (And a game out of a 3-way tie for first) though so DUNNO LOL
---

Going against Bell in my money league and Brown/Boswell in my B8 league. So a TD pass to Jesse James after a Bell TD was reversed is just fine with me.

How about this football game

Steelers suck

I've spent basically the entire game thinking "dammit ben pls throw to Juju more"

that was such a ridiculous catch I can't even be mad about it being Brown again

I mean who else gets in besides them

Bills? Raiders?

The Steelers have outscored the Titans 17-0 since I turned the game on augh

also why couldn't Big Ben put up these kinds of numbers when I had him on my team
---

I have Big Ben on my team and whilst I appreciate the big game, that is one of the lowest scoring 4 TD 300 yard games I've seen in Fantasy Football. Sorry, 299 yard game, can't be getting that 300 yard game bonus. And our league also deducts a point for every sack taken and every 5 incomplete passes so he ate -6 points there too.

I did also have the Steelers D though which was nice.

Can't for the life of me understand why the Titans won't just let Derrick Henry run the fucking ball. He's way better than Demarco Murray yet they persist with Murray. Murray should only be on the field for pass plays

guess I should make sure this doesn't purge
---

also shocking news

Jameis Winston has been accused of groping a female Uber driver

Demarco has huge moments though. Though it seems like every other year just is utter shit for him.

woo go football

xfd giants

you gave your fans just enough hope to break them even more
---

once again, i switch to the Lions at the last second and they reward me by giving up the first 10 points of the game. and i get the feeling that this time won't turn out to be a blowout in their favor.
---

A 10 point deficit with 3 quarters to go does seem pretty insurmountable.
---

Is John Fox still our coach? Yes? Then we'll eventually shoot ourselves in the foot because we are undisciplined as hell.
---

oh i'm not doubting the Lions can still win. just probably not by two touchdowns this time.

also LOL Chiefs

Crazy catch by Mike Wallace there
---

I wonder when the last time was GB was shut out at home

I'm sure the stat will start surfacing soon
---

Baltimore vs. Green Bay is the ultimate battle of atrocious quarterbacking. As horrible as Flacco is, Brett Hundley is just unstoppably awful.

and this is on the same day where we literally have Tom Savage vs. Blaine Gabbert
