Am I dropping Ertz for Goedert? >__>

iiaattgg posted...

im eyeing my week 10 matchup against a guy who is currently 4-3 but definitely has the 2nd best team in the league behind mine. deshaun watson has a bye that week so im out at quarterback and want to make my claim now because hes a good enough player to snipe up the one id want a few weeks in advance.

winston vs arizona or cousins vs cowboys? those are the two im looking at the most. stafford vs chitown and jimmy g vs seattle are also available. waa hoping brees would still be out or else id be all over teddy vs atl.

Stafford imo

Thank you Cooper "Jesus" Kupp

Didn't notice Drake was out and left him in my lineup but it didn't matter

Tonight is going to be an annoying watch.

I have 1.8 points + Boswell vs TE Gesicki. I'm favored but 1 garbage TD or long pass to Gesicki would likely win it for the other guy

Have to win in that league where I'm 3-4 despite scoring the most points in the league. The points scored against me would be second highest scorer. I actually have the most points scored in all 3 of my leagues but not great records in all 3 (4-3, 3-4 and 5-2)

I grabbed Herndon, but honestly same question.

(Also this is almost certainly my worst week of fantasy ever. I put up a full 60 ppr points with Juju still to play in my work league. Ertz was a big contributor to that, as was Edmonds (even if his was partially injury-related), Rivers and me thinking Corey Davis in a good matchup was the WR play. I've never done that badly in this league even when it was non-PPR and otherwise the same settings)

threw down a solid 178 thanks to all the big money guys hitting. except godwin i guess but with the way him amd evans seem to go it just means next week he will give me 40

2-6, on my way to that last playoff spot

FROM GUTTER TO GLORY LET'S GO

I feel slightly sleezy because my opponent in one league didn't have a kicker (Tucker on bye) and I guess was waiting to see if he would need to drop him for a kicker. He's down 9 (with 1 player to go) so I scooped both of tonight's kickers just to block him >.>

Tried to do the same with QBs in another league, but got outbid on Rudolph T_T

Man just when I trade for TY Hilton he goes out for 3 to 4 weeks on an injury for practice

ouch

And Suprak added Josh Gordon with the spot he freed up trading him away.

I feel bad because my team is so garbage it doesnt matter for me at all. Hopefully it doesnt completely ruin your season.

I offered you Juju instead too!

Honestly Juju has looked pretty bad this season and Brissett > Rudolph

but oh well

Juju has looked bad, but has he really? He's given you 75+ yards in all games except Cincy (blowout for Pitt) and LA (3rd strong QB and also kind of a blowout).

Two of those games were against the vaunted New England and San Fran defenses.

I was really looking forward to starting Jacoby Brissett. I had been kind of wanting to start him over Goff for awhile, but the match-ups never justified it. This week, Goff was finally on his bye, and the schedule ahead made starting him much more justified.

Then T.Y. got injured (immediately after I dropped Pascal.) Then Brissett got injured after 5 passes. D'oh.

I need you to not collapse so I can move up to 3rd place.

I need this more than anyone! Yahoo still thinks I'll run the table, but I'm pretty sure I'm dead if I lose this game.

Does Yahoo have a final standings projection?

Yeah. Next to the start of standings, there's a drop down menu that says current standings. You can set that to current projections, or maybe power rankings where I'm somehow still ranked number one.
---

...Did I seriously win on a 63 yard fumble return for a meaningless TD with 6 seconds left in the game?

I guess it kind of balances out the whole losing my QB after five passes thing, but damn, I still feel bad winning like that.

(Watch me still lose on stat corrections)

---

Hahaha I didn't even notice that and had just assumed you lost after checking it for the last time!

Like you said you had bad luck of your own this week, but if I lost like that I think I'd just be done checking fantasy for the season and try my luck again next year >_>
---

My crappy team is officially out (well, 99.99%...) so at least I only have one team to focus on now.

My winning league has been so...easy and weird. Like I just drafted an average team that doesn't look scary on paper but somehow they've managed to evenly disperse their random boom games so I keep winning.

QB: Rodgers (very sub-par start to the season, fantasy-wise)
WR: Adams (missed 4 games), Allen (amazing start, average since), Sanders (lol he's great now?), Tate (was suspended to start season)
RB: Gordon and Ekeler (lol), James White (consistency king), Latavius Murray (two random stud games when I needed someone), Carlos Hyde (just a nice reliable Flex/low RB2)
TE: Ertz (decent, just boomed but hasn't been amazing and a little disappointing)

Somehow this team is 7-2 and 4th in points out of 12. I feel like I've accidentally used a cheat code or something

Wow I just looked at my next matchup and the team is such a dumpster fire that I'm probably not even going to bother getting a TE to fill in for Ertz.

Friends, I just want you to know...

Game's hard and why do I have a winning record in this league when my team is so bad

hopefully my team doesn't shit the bed this week.

Hey, I made the right decision starting Hoyer over Goff!

Of course, a better decision would have been literally any other starting QB on the waiver wire, but still!

meanwhile my panic choice of Darrell Williams when I saw Shepard was out was a disaster and my first even more panicked choice of Tarik Cohen would've been an ok play

also apparently Tracy Walker didn't play and I literally did not notice because I was too panicked? RIP me. Game's hard. Team's a disaster.

I still think I'm gonna lose. Dalvin Cook is scary.

---

3/4 Dalvin Cook and an IDP to outscore Carson+3/4 Gallup+an IDP by 15?

nice joke my friend

And a kicker, don't forget the kicker!

Mainly I'm worried that Carson won't be able to do anything against the 49ers defense.

---

Also my odds to win were higher against VI (like 95%?) and Wickle (like 85%?), so I'm paranoid about any possibility of losing.

Granted, I did win against Wickle, but that took a miracle.

I need Carson to go big to win at work, is the main problem here <_<

I'm Carson vs Maher + Dallas D + 14 points + he still has Kittle in for some reason even though he's unlikely to play

uhhh Hollister, Dickson and Willson are all on the wire, which one do I try to grab to deny?

Grab one, then drop him for the other immediately so that he's on waivers instead of being a free agent.

Edit: Then the other. Pick up and drop every TE!

Can't do this one. Pretty sure I have to hold overnight, if not for 24h. Otherwise they just go back to FA.

That does potentially let me block two though. I'm guessing Hollister + Dickson would be the ones?

I'd assume Hollister would be the priority, but I'm not particularly knowledgeable about Seattle's TE situation.

Is Kittle's back-up (Dwelly, I guess?) a free agent?

---

Yeah. League's only 12, so a fair bit less deep than the one we're competing in. Went ahead and picked up Holister, will do something else with it before work tomorrow.

+ Ross Dwelley SF - TE
Free Agent
- Jacob Hollister Sea - TE
To Waivers

Good stuff. Glad we had this talk. I need exactly 19.5 points (+ whatever Dickson or Willson puts up if my opponent grabs them to fill for Kittle) from Carson to win in that league.

I'm 0-2.

Most points against.

Have faced the top two highest scoring teams.

Supposed to be smooth sailing from here on out, right?

Answer: Yes. 8 weeks later, 7-3 and in third place. My first two week opponents... 1 and 2 at 8-2 each.

Not sure who TopNep is in the B8 league, but I picked up the NYG DST, had to drop them for Jacob Hollister to cover George Kittle, and ended up having to start the Seattle DST... my opponent picked up the NYG DST and started them instead of me >.> so yeah, I appreciate that move a lot.

Of course now that I'm out of playoff contention I get a dumb win on a week where four of my players scored fewer than 7 points (featuring cooper kupp with 0)

My opponent got three 0s this week (Kupp, Dallas D, aforementioned Kittle not playing)

and I still lost. My second loss by less than 0.5 points this year ~_~

Wait, there's 5 teams that are 3-7 in this 10 team league wtf

I can actually still make it if the 4th place team loses out and I win out, or if they win only one game and I outscore them by 150 over the next 4 weeks

Man I'm 4-6 in a 12 team but currently sitting in 7th.

I have the tiebreaker over the 5th place guy (5-5) if I win out (I play him) so still have a chance.

@TheArkOfTurus

Big game in B8 league this week 0_0

Yes.

I'd feel a lot better about it if I were the one who got Brian Hill.
