View Full Version : MoFo Fantasy Football 2023 - The Season
Well I just splurged and bought the NFL Channel Premium package for $50 for the year, it was 50% off. That includes RedZone, perfect for FFB. Decided I'll do the same for baseball next season. It's been too damn long where my source of enjoyment from either sport has only been from fantasy leagues.
Gawd! Last time I was able to watch football games consistently I was setting up my VCR to record them.
Achane
8 attempts 150 yards 1 touchdown holy crap ...
Just one TD from one of my three players in these early games please. Damn, fantasy is frustrating
Montgomery a few inches short of the goal line. They sneak it the next play.

Mostert salvaged his day with a TD. However, it’s seeming like Achane is going to start vulturing even more of his touches/TD
Chase explodes for 30+ and we've got a quarter and a half. Current pace, I'm facing the top scoring team of the week again.

And you lost Connor to a knee injury.
Uh, I did not know that. I guess that explains why that number stopped going up.
This is now the second greatest game of Chase's career.

I wish I could be optimistic about my chances but as San Fran scores the more Dallas moves away from running the ball, and Kittle can grab the lead easily with a few more big catches.
I sweating this game out haha

Good match Tongo. You have a legit team, and will be among the favorites in the playoffs

Thank you, but we'll see. I think I just got lucky for a bit. Doubt I'm gonna start Najee Harris again though. What a disappointment he's been this year.
Yoda, why does Najee suck?

10-09-23, 01:28 AM
First week with my Ghidora went well. As long as Davante or his replacement doesn't go Billy Cannon, I should be good.
Yoda, why does Najee suck?
Because the Steelers' offense sucks.
I am over here hoping against Jones even playing tonight, or at least not putting up much, as all 4 of my active running backs this week (2 on the bench) did absolutely nothing. If I can eek out a win this week to get 2-2, I get Eckler back next week and perhaps Taylor gets more involved and then things could start to turn around for me. That is a lot of ifs...
Speaking of random, I auto-drafted in my other league, as well. My team is completely dominating on all fronts, and again this week put up over 150... So random...

While I did lose my QB on his first series of the season, since then I had been relatively unbothered by the injury bug that has been wreaking havoc on the league. My streak of peace and quiet ends at three weeks. Week Five saw me lose my top draft pick – in fact the very first player taken in our league – while another superstar in the making has gone questionable. Oh, and I limped to my lowest score yet and took a loss.
It all started disastrously on Thursday Night Football. The way the winless Chicago Bears had played, they seemed in line for another slaughter. I thought so. The Washington Commanders certainly thought so. But the Bears had other ideas. I happily started both WR Terry McLaurin and RB Brian Robinson expecting one or both of them to find their ceilings. Instead, Chicago dominated in all phases of the game, leaving McLaurin to struggle for 49 paltry yards on four catches (6.90) while Robinson managed only ten yards on the ground and four short passes (6.30). Just pitiful. The only glimmer of hope from that mess was that my opponent (WhentheLe'VeonBreaks) also assumed Chicago would be embarrassed, so he scooped up the Washington DEF. They gave up forty points and finished in the red with -1.00.
Despite him starting from less than zero, I had still put myself in a hole. My two Commanders failed me but my pair of Dolphins were there to pick up the slack! Rookie RB De’von Achane, in only his third game, impressed yet again with 151 yards rushing plus another 14 on his one catch and another TD (21.00). A good number in spite of losing a fumble along the way. QB Tua Tagovailoa also had some issues, namely a pair of INTs one of which was a pick-six, but overall he did well with 308 passing yards and a pair of TDs (20.92). Under his projection, but a decent number considering the miscues in the easy win over the New York Giants.
But that was the full extent of my good news. I started Patriot Hunter Henry at TE. Zero catches, zero yards, zero hope for my Tight End spot. Pulling a literal 0.00 was a kick to the nards. Speaking of Kickers, I picked up The Ram’s Brett Maher off of the waiver wire and the only action he saw was two PATs (2.00). That's when things got truly awful. My superstar WR Justin Jefferson, my one and only note of absolute consistency averaging nearly 22 Fantasy Points a week through the first four, he was almost completely shut down by the Kansas City DEF, held to only three teeny catches for 28 yards (4.30). And before he could rectify those numbers in the fourth quarter, he pulled a hammy. Out of the game and out of my lineup for an as-yet-undetermined amount of time. Will it be a week or two? Four or five? Worse? Time will tell.
As sh!tty as that all was - and it was plenty crappy - and as low as my score was at that point, I STILL had an improbable but mathematically possible path to a victory. With Brandon Ayiuk going in the SNF game against Dallas, if he went off for a big number like the 28.90 he had in Week One versus Philly, at least a win could maybe be salvaged (or at least a respectable total score). Of course, you know the SF offense funneled through TE George Kittle this time around, leaving Brandon with 58 scoreless yards on four catches (7.80). Yeah.
Even with that sorry excuse for a week and the loss of Jefferson, I still had some foolish hope because The Jets finally took RB Breece Hall off of his “pitch-count” limit and fully unleashed him for the first time. I didn’t start him, but he had an incredibly impressive 177 yards running and a TD plus three catches for another 17 yards in the win over Denver. No, I didn’t have his points this time, but with Breece Hall and De’Von Achane both going full bore from here on out, I could at least stay competitive. Then on Monday came the news that the remarkable Achane has a “knee issue”. Don’t know what that means, yet, but it sounds like my season slipping away to me.
3-2 will drop me from fourth place to sixth temporarily, but if I have to go without Justin Jefferson and/or De’Von Achane for any length of time that is going to lead to some continued anemic scores (I had the league worst 77.22 this week) and a whole lot of downward momentum, if not an all-out death spiral.
Yikes.

De'Von Achane Likely Out Multiple Weeks
Achane (knee) is expected to miss multiple weeks due to an injury sustained in Miami's win over the Giants on Sunday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.
Advice: Achane's injury isn't believed to be season-ending, but it could sideline the electric rookie for a significant stretch. If the Dolphins end up placing him on IR, Achane will be forced to miss at least four games. The expected return of Jeff Wilson (ribs) to practice will at least do something to alleviate Achane's loss, but replacing the 2023 third-round pick -- who is averaging 151.7 rushing yards per game over the last three weeks -- will be easier said than done.

And there they go. Of course they are already speculating that if Minnesota is way out of playoff contention by the time J.J. heals that he may just sit out the rest of the year and not jeopardize the start of 2024.
Swell.
Could have taken McCaffrey, dagnabbit!!!
Don't worry, plenty of time for him to get injured, too.
JJ fell to me at 3rd overall in another league and I was thrilled. :laugh:
Football.
I put all my eggs in the Chubb basket this year. Had him in all three of my leagues. In this league I went 0-2 with him. 3-0 without so far. I still think my season here is in trouble without him, but these things really are hard to quantify sometimes.

10-11-23, 08:35 PM
I actually have very favorable matchups this weekend, so there is a potential chance Justin and I have a high combined score with a close deficit, which seems to be a trend this year.
Whatever happened to Ezekiel Elliot? Hes now just a backup RB when just 2-3 years ago he was supposed to be one of the best. Sean may have to play him Sunday if Carolinas RB cant go. Did E.E. do a nosedive like Jonathan Taylor?
The shelf life of an NFL running back is measured in minutes.
Wyldesyde19
10-13-23, 01:55 AM
Pretty much what Yoda has said. RB shelf life has a small window, as injuries and usage pile up, and they can fall off a cliff rather fast. When it happens, it’s sudden. Henry is one to also watch, as he seems to be slipping after 7 years in the league as the top back. Burn bright, burn out faster.
Take a good look at the RB’s that are plying right now. Many of them won’t be starters in 2-3 years.
Gibbs, Bijan Robinson, Walker, Achane, Pierce, White….. Keep an eye on them when you draft a RB in the future. It’s a young’s man’s game now

10-13-23, 11:32 AM

10-14-23, 06:03 PM
Defense got me 14, which is good.
Justin has the advantage at WR, RB and TE, so I need to hope mine can at least keep it close while Burrow, Elliot and my D make up the difference.
Yep, Henry's struggling again. Me and first round picks dont seem to work out. Im gonna start targeting the younger and high ceiling potential guys going forward in drafts, and stay away from the tried and true bunch. Need to flip this script. I start strong and then peter off, which is a sign of age.

If I can survive the early onslaught, I may have a chance. My 3 players vs Justin’s 6 means he will take an early lead at some point. I just need my esrly game players to keep it close for my players in the later games to win this for me.

Oh, and any TD thrown by Burrow to any other WR not named Chase, really works in my favor.
Kittle and Kmet are in my TE & Flex spots, and giving me high blood pressure. No George Kittle it's not time to make the donuts, its time to catch some balls! Preferably in the endzone.

Hopefully Pollard can get me a TD or two, but I’m about to hit 700 points on the season regardless.
Next week is going to a rough matchup with Adam. Burrow and Pollard are on an bye, and Kyren will miss next week with an ankle injury. I think it happened during garbage time too. *sigh*
Although I can sub in Love at Qb, my RB situation is….not so great. Might have to run with White and hope for about 10 points at least? M. brown can cover the flex spot nicely. Definitely don’t expect to match my recent scoring surge during week 7.

First let me state that my team is unequivocally better with Justin Jefferson and De’von Achene on my active roster. Losing both players for multiple weeks is gonna hurt. That being said, in my first week sans my superstars not only did I manage to win but I put up my highest score of the year, thus far.
For the first time in a long while I had every one of my players, including my Kicker and DEF, at least meet if not exceed their projections. Well, almost everyone. Of course like most of you my TE slot is a black hole from which few fantasy points can escape. Zach Ertz only put up a 3.20, two little catches for 22 yards, versus his already modest 6.95 projection. The TE I left on the bench, Tyler Conklin, had about the same day yielding only a 3.90, so no big diff. Very happily my fate was not decided by the paltry contribution of my tight end.
Tua Tagovailoa led the way with a 28.48 in the rout of Carolina. 262 yards, three TDs, and no turnovers this time. My pair of Washington Commanders who sunk me last week did a’ight in the win over Atlanta. No huge spikes, but WR Terry McLaurin had six grabs for 81 yards (11.10) and RB Brian Robinson had 66 combined yards and a touchdown (12.60). Michael Pittman, now my defacto number two receiver with J.J. gone, did almost nothing for much of his game, but in the Colts loss to the Jags they were down far enough long enough that they had to keep throwing, and eventually he got into the mix finishing with nine grabs for 109 yards (15.40). Thank you, Garbage Time!
My second-highest score of the week came from young Breece Hall in that surprise upset of Philly. The Jets running game had been held in check for most of the day, but they will throw to Hall as well, which always helps. Only 39 yards on the ground but five catches for another 54 made it respectable, and when the Eagles let him walk into the end zone with under two minutes left in the game trying to preserve clock, I was ecstatic. Thank goodness Breece is too young and brash a kid to know he is supposed to take a knee at the one yard line. For the record, any NFL defense out there who wants to let my guys have touchdowns, I support you. Breece finished with 17.80 points. Likely less than Achane might have had if he were allowed to partake in the Dolphins’ fun, but much more than serviceable. J-E-T-S, Jets!
Brett Maher netted me a tidy 15 points with his foot and the Vegas DEF beat up on the hapless Patriots, including a safety, for a solid 9.00. My happiest decision came when I played Carolina RB Chuba Hubbard in favor of 49er WR Brandon Aiyuk in my FLEX spot. Hubbard had been getting more and more snaps over recent weeks, I had been stashing him on my bench all year mostly to cover BYE weeks and emergencies. But when Miles Sanders went down last week he became the official number one back and I hoped he’d do well at Miami. He did. 88 yards rushing, a catch, and a TD (15.50). Aiyuk had ten targets but only four catches and did not score in the upset loss (9.60). If Deebo and CMcC miss much time Aiyuk’s fantasy value should go up, but I made the right call this time.
I move to 4-2 in a six-team log jam at the top of our league, in fourth place by virtue of my points but I am only 1.04 behind third, ten points out of second, and a total of eighty-five points separate first and sixth place. Having feared a total collapse after last week’s injuries this was one of the easiest weeks I have ever had. Let’s see how I do against next week’s projections. I still have my doubts, but I’ll take the win.

10-17-23, 10:30 AM
RB2 is KILLING my team. I mean killed. Might have had a different result this weekend if I had a TE that actually played. Double checking the results... and nope - I still would have lost by .2 pts. If this were a real team I'd be instructing them to start setting NFL records for personal fouls and unsportsmanlike conducts in a season. **** it - we suck, might as well be remembered for something other than sucking, right Chuck?

I was gonna say that loss is the knockout blow, but really, the Montgomery injury (again) probably deserves that honor.
Luck, mojo, and happenstance aside, the reason I'm not in the 600 Club with the rest of the pack is Patrick Mahomes hasn't really "gone off" this year. When they get ahead, the Chiefs have pulled him from the game to protect him. This is why he's 5th place among fantasy quarterbacks. As for the rest of my team I just drafted poorly, and the draft is everything when it comes to Fantasy Football. Live and learn.

He also simply doesn't have as many weapons out there to throw to, as in past seasons. We'll see if they get into old-fashioned shoot outs with The Chargers, The Eagles, or especially The Dolphins in upcoming weeks.

Well, the injury bug has made its way to my team, finally. Kyren is out this week, and there are rumblings he could be out multiple weeks. He was doing so well as my flex, so it’s a big loss.
Outside of steady production from Brown, I’m hoping White and/or Hopkins/Pierce can finally be more efficient the next few weeks when byes start hitting my starters (like this week) and can contribute enough to keep me ahead.
Catching a bit of the Saints/Jags game...
Let's go uh...

Let's go Jags! ;)
Happy to get decent production from Thomas this week. Definitely can’t afford any doughnuts this week.
Im up against the Justinator. Derrick Henrys on a bye, and gonna run with Rashee Rice in my Flex. It's a gamble using a Chiefs WR being Mahomes spreads Kelces crumbs around so widely. Just "Josh Downs" doesn't elicit any excitement from me. I don't know. If anyone wants me to beat Justin please advise me on my Flex ;)
I have one Jag on each fantasy team. Etienne dominated for me in my other league, while Ridley all but disappeared for me in this league.
Not a great start in MoFo Stadium!
I’m such a dunce. Did everything I needed to in case Deebo was out, except move him to flex instead of receiver. Here’s hoping Odell gets a few looks today for some reason.
Justin's Kamara raked in the points, and his kicker competent. Haven't even had a player go yet and Yahoo says I've a 35% chance of winning. :up:

I need White to take in at least 12 points? Which means he would need a TD. No busts from my other players either. Engram already underwhelmed again as my TE, but that’s to be expected when you don’t have Kelce or Andrews. Engram gets the yardage and receptions, just never a TD.
Not super optimistic here going against Adam. With both Pollard (bye) and Kyren (IR) out, it doesn’t fill me with much confidence to go to White.

Crazy that the top six teams are all tied at 4-2, and the two teams with arguably the most talent (Bustin' Justin & Wylde Wolves) aren't among them. Securing a playoff spot this season looks like it's going to be more difficult than usual.
Going against Holden this week, which means I'm facing Tua, the QB I traded to him, against a banged-up Eagles secondary. Meanwhile, due to the Fields injury, I'm now starting Stafford, who was initially Holden's back-up. Hopefully Mark Andrews has a spike week so that trade works out in my favor for this match-up, but I'm not feeling particularly optimistic at the moment.
Last time I posted in here I was bragging about my depth, but it looks less impressive now due to injures and other factors. Doubs, Zach Moss and Puka Nacua have been great values for me, but all find themselves sliding down the depth chart with the return of Christian Watson, Jonathan Taylor and Cooper Kupp. I don't know how much time Fields is expected to miss, but it sounds like Kyler Murray will return soon, whom I've been stashing in my IR since the draft. At least Saquon is back, but that Giants O-line is so poor that it'll be difficult for him to reach his typical ceiling. DK Metcalf is also highly questionable to play today.
Elliot freaking scores again. Literally made a switch 15 minutes before kickoff. You may be able to hear me flipping out this week.

22 points against you with someone's kicker is just basically the screw you to yourself in fantasy.
Don't worry, fate gave it right back with Bijan basically being a healthy scratch because he "didn't feel well." If they announce that BEFORE the game I sub in Hunt and he gets 15. Bleh.
Anyway, as it stands now I might be 2-5...with my only wins coming when I was the top score that week. Anything less, loss.
This will do it for me this season.
This is a little dramatic given that you're still going to be 4-3.
Wyldesyde19
10-22-23, 07:55 PM
I was wondering what happened with Bijan.
Love is coming alive suddenly. If he can score again, and Brown and the Chiefs D can tack on some more points for me to get to to around 80….I might have a chance with Mostert and Elliot tonight.
I would need to withstand Hurts/Smith tonight and Hockenson/Addison tomorrow night.
I’ll probably lose yet, but it won’t be as catastrophic at this point with others ahead of me losing as well
Wyldesyde19
10-22-23, 08:39 PM
80-49 gives me some hope that, along with Mostert and Elliot yet, I can stay ahead just enough after tonight to hold off Hockenson and Addison tomorrow night.
There’s a slim chance I can win this.
Very slim.

He had a carry and then felt sick I'm guessing

The record doesnt matter. I sounded dramatic but was meaning to be realistic. The fact my top 2 WRs can't even get 5 points combined says it all. I just don't got the juice.

Nursing a nearly 9 point lead against Adam while he has two players left. Pretty much a loss, unless San Francisco completely shuts them down.

I expected Miami to struggle against a Philly team looking to make up for last weeks loss.
I was worried about Mosterts and Diggs matchups, and was right. Although Diggs did have a TD.

10-23-23, 07:11 PM
With the way the season is going, I don’t see any clear contender yet. Wide Right, WtLB and The Clowns will be 5-2 after this week, if the scores and predictions hold up as expected, but there’s too many questions with each team. Last year I started 5-2 before injuries to my RB and lack of a decent WR brought me to a 7-7 finish. I was lucky to make the playoffs. Raul was 5-5 at one point. Any team can get hot suddenly.
This is especially true with the glut of 4-3 and 3-4 teams that are vying for the 4-6 playoff spots. I wouldn’t be surprised to see a few of vying for those spots go on a big winning streak to secure a spot. You don’t even have to be a high scoring team to get there (I wasn’t last year).

Well, I’ll lose but it’s ok, since I didn’t expect a win this week.
I don’t think Adam gets enough credit for putting a good team together every year in our league. He’s the only one to have made the playoffs 4 years straight, winning it all in 2019, and could make it 5 years straight at this rate.
As an aside, I have Stroud on my bench, and I’m willing to trade him or maybe even Love, for another RB or WR in return?
If anyone wants to experience the joys of high blood pressure, draft George Kittle next year. I just saw him in a commercial. Shouldn't players that get their own commercials be dependable fantasy point earners?! You'd think. Cmon, kittles and bits, kittles and bits....oh god im losing it.

After last week's anomaly of losing my two best players and yet reaching my highest score, reality set in for Week Seven. Much more appropriately I got my lowest score of the year - thus far, mind you - in the blowout of the week, losing by over forty-nine points. With still at least three or four weeks left before even the prospect of getting either De'Von Achene or Justin Jefferson back, I expect more of the same.
At least there was no suspense to it. It was clear before the 4:00pm games even began that I was out of it. As a Commanders fan it has been a painful few weeks, and I expected even if they lost to their Division rival Giants that they would put up some respectable if not gaudy numbers. Alas. Terry McLaurin had 90 yards on six catches for a decent but unremarkable 12.00 while Brian Robinson rushed only eight times, had no catches, for just 23 yards, salvaging his day from a total wipeout with the only Washington TD of the day for 8.30. With the finally surging Breece Hall on a BYE I elected to start Baltimore's Justice Hill. Unfortunately for me it was his counterpart Gus Edwards who had the big day, leaving only 48 scoreless yards for Hill in the rout of Detroit (5.30). I actually played the waiver wire correctly and picked up Darrell Henderson who came off of the practice squad for The Rams and put up 13.10 points including a TD. But of course I didn't start him.
Not that it would have made any difference if I had. Michael Pittman was my top scorer of the week in my FLEX spot, though almost literally all of his points came on one play late on the game. After floundering all day with only one small catch to show for it he caught a 75-yard TD worth 14.00 fantasy points by itself...which gave him a total of 15.30. Brandon Aiyuk went on MNF and with Deebo out and Minnesota's secondary banged up, it seemed like a ripe opportunity for him to hit his ceiling. He had a solid first half and then drew only a couple more targets the rest of the way with zero catches in San Fran's loss, just 8.20 points for me.
Tua Tagovailoa seemed poised for a huge game too against Philly. Instead he put up his worst fantasy number of the year, thus far: 12.34. Frankly it's just as well. Had he put up 35 points I still would have been well short, so save one of them big crooked numbers for a week when I may actually win. Though honestly, I don't foresee one of those weeks coming anytime soon. I do get Breece back in Week Eight. Somehow I doubt it'll be enough.
For now I only move down one place in the standings from fourth to fifth, but I have that sinking feeling like that is a brief stop before I hit terminal velocity.
Im sorry for being a fun suck and weird everyone.
Made the decision to bench Amari and Gabe, and run with Josh Downs & Kendrick Bourne. Downs has gotten steady targets all year. As for Bourne I'd rather have his 10-12 points every week than Gabe Davis who is mostly anemic, then has a huge week.
If nothing changes, then nothing will change. Najee Harris, Amari Cooper, and Gabe Davis will be on deck if Downs, Bourne, or Rice are ever Out.

Mid Season analysis.
Here we are at the half way mark, and I’m at 3-4. How did I get here? My roster had so much promise! Well, let’s take a look.
During the draft I went with young upcoming RB’s who had shown some promise last year, mainly Pollard, Pierce and White. White was taking over for Fournette as the lead back, so I was expecting big things alongside Pollard. Mostert was a late round grab, and a risky one considering his injury history. Surprisingly, Mostert has been among my best players, breaking 40 points earlier. Pierce and White? Huge flops so far.
I managed to grab Kyren Williams off of the waiver and he was a huge boon to my flex spot. Until he went onto the IR. So it goes…..
My WR spot has been lead by a steady Diggs, and some ok production from Godwin and Brown on occasion. No real complaints here.
At the QB spot, Burrow started off injured and his productivity suffered. It took some time, but he seems like he’s back to normal now. Drafting Love as a back up has helped.
TE has been an issue. I expected more from Engram, but I guess this is to be expected outside of Kelce or Andrews.
Kicker and Defense has been pretty great. No issues there.
Depth remains an issue, which I had thought wouldn’t have been a problem at the start of the season. TE position, outside of the two i mentioned, is always going to be iffy.
So sitting at 3-4, in seventh place, I’m still the highest scoring team in the league. I also have the most points scored against me. Go figure…..
Still a real good chance at 8-6 and making the playoffs, but i need a lot of luck
Regardless of Gabe Davis getting over 19 points on my bench, I'm sticking to my strategy, and not slotting in Amari Cooper. I need consistent numbers rather than hot or cold ones. Don't need a team of George Kittles.
Oh the hell with it. Im playing him. Begrudgingly.
Happen to be facing Lamb this week, and he's roughly tied for the best game of his career shortly after halftime.
Gonna get torched by Adam. Barring any miraculous scoring on the 4 players I have left to play, Gabe Davis's number wouldn't have made a difference.

Not often my game is officially over before the late Sunday game, but here we are.
Big win for me, despite a misstep at the flex position. I agonized between Brown and Doubs, when the correct answer would have been a seemingly rejuvenated Hopkins. Apparently, Levis might actually be good. Worth keeping an eye on.
This win pulls me even at 4-4 and in the playoff bracket for the first time this year.
I get a tough matchup against Clowns next week, who will likely be #1 again. Hoping I can chain together a decent winning streak.

I am on vacation, so very briefly: I lost again last week and I will lose again this week. The season has become a long, dark tunnel with no light at the end of it. But just for a quick snapshot that sums everything up...last week my starting TE, Tyler Conklin, scored me a zero. It is the second time this season I got a zero from my TE and I am only averaging 2.71 points there PER WEEK.
Last week while Conklin laid his goose egg, on my bench my desperation waiver wire pick was Arizona's back-up TE, a youngster named Trey McBride. He had a stunning statistical game in their loss to Baltimore. 10 catches from 14 targets, 95 yards, and a TD for 20.50 points. On my bench. My TE spot has yielded a total of 21.70 points in eight weeks. I left 20.50 on the bench in Week Eight.
What's more pathetic? Even if I had started McBride I still would have lost by nearly eight points. Hope has been extinguished.
^ Now that's the way to gripe. (TONGO takes notes)
I'm resolved in my mediocrity. Ill just keep sending this crew out every week. Nobody on waivers will change it, and trading for playmakers is too expensive. So be it.
Really looking like a Clowns vs Leveon final, but Wylde & Sean are still in the hunt. Poor Justin's had bad luck, PW has been blessed, and Yodas cursed this year. The rest of us just suck. This has been my mid-season review :up:

Not trying to belittle anyone, but WhentheLeveonBreaks team really isn't "great" which just shows the parity that is fantasy football
I think his team is pretty damn good. People tend to focus too much on name value instead of production when grading teams. Thielen and Addison might not seem like a formidable WR duo, but they're both top ten this season. Thielen has been one of the best values in FF this season. Despite a bye and a week-one dud, he's still the 8th highest scoring WR. Hockenson is one of the very few TEs averaging double digits. Hurts is the #2 QB. Josh Jacobs got off to a slow start but his numbers are trending up. Gibbs has shown that he could be a league winner if given more opportunities, but he's a reliable RB2 even with Montgomery. Gus Edwards is developing into another great value with his nose for the endzone. DeVonta Smith is boom/bust, but when AJ Brown inevitably cools off, Smith's production should become more consistent. Factor in a top-five kicker and defense, and WhentheLe'VeonBreaks has no weaknesses except maybe a shallow bench.
The key to success in FF is consistency. I'd rather have a team that's solid across the board, no glaring weaknesses, with enough reliable depth to weather byes and inevitable injuries, where I can rely on my skill positions getting at least 10-12 points every week rather than a team that's top-loaded and relies on superstars being superstars every week. WhentheLe'VeonBreaks and WyldeWolves are the two teams in our league that fit the profile the most, imo, which is why they're the highest scorers so far. I'd add my own team to that mix if my QB situation wasn't so volatile, but I'm having to rely on Stroud at the moment whereas they have Hurts and Burrow.

I've actively rooted against you all season just because I fear potentially facing you in the playoffs. McCaffrey, Kamara, Kupp and Chase combine for so many points most weeks that you only need moderate production from your other spots, and it's not like the rest of your squad is a bunch of bums. Sutton has been a pretty reliable FLEX this season. Taysom Hill is the definition of boom or bust, but at least he has boom games unlike so many other TEs. Plus Freiermuth should stabilize that position for you when he returns. QB is your only real weakness, and that may not even be the case if Watson stays healthy, considering how many great match-ups he has down the stretch.
This was a nice call…..for about 2 quarters. Then he was held to zero catches in the second half.
Oh well.
When I last checked our match-up Thursday afternoon, you had Marquise Brown in your FLEX. I was hoping you'd leave him there instead of plugging in Hopkins or even Rachaad White, since he's starting to come on lately. You had to start Hopkins, though, considering he just had a 30-point game. 8.5 points from him isn't bad, but I'm sure I'm happier with that total than you are.
Still not sure who I'm starting in my FLEX. Puka's questionable and it's looking unlikely that Stafford plays. I was starting to lean toward Zack Moss, who has still been putting up good numbers even with Taylor's return and Carolina's a juicy match-up, but he missed practice Friday and I won't have anyone left to switch out for him if he's inactive since it's a 4 p.m. game. I guess that leaves me with Metcalf, even though he's banged up as well and has a difficult match-up.

It made perfect to to start them, as KC is very capable of getting turnovers and sacks, and whatever TD Mostert would score would be offset by whatever points the KC D would get.
That, and one must factor in that Miami struggles against elite teams.
Poor Dustin really has the worst team this year. I feel bad for him. Even with my dumbass start & sit decisions ill probably win. Next week is KCs Bye so I will be forced to play a certain group of players, and my decision making won't be a factor. Which means I have a shot at beating Spaulding.

On to next week!
Gabe Davis
Week 6 gets 1.60 fp
Week 7 gets 1.10 fp
Week 8 gets 19.20 fp on my bench
Week 9 gets 0 fp Not on my bench
He has the highest fp total of all the WRs on my team. Amari Coopers equally inconsistent . Other than Mahomes, Pacheco, and Henry my team is a bunch of George Kittles. It's painful. I completely understand why Spaulding would have consistent steady upper middle class earners rather than splashy stars.
Blimey - my team did pretty much what I expected, which was a big ol' stack of NOTHING this week. That said, in some bizarre alignment of Angry Fantasy God constellations, it looks like I will still pull off a win, as my opponents team did even worse. I have a slight lead, and it's Austin Eckler vs. Giants DEF in tonight's game.

Not good.
Plain and simple, my team cannot score points. Way under a hundred. Again. The only reason I didn't totally bottom out is because the Las Vegas DEF that I scooped up off of the waiver wire manhandled the hapless NY Giants for 19.00 Fantasy points. But I still finished 15½ shy of the hundred mark and 33½ points behind my opponent. Not. Even. Competitive.
Tua Tagovailoa has put up some monster numbers this season. But there is a pattern. He puts up gaudy numbers against teams with losing records and struggles mightily against the good teams. Philly, Buffalo, and now Kansas City have made him look very mortal. Had I identified that pattern before this week I may have considered benching him, but I was hoping for a good ol' fashioned shoot out with Mahomes. That did not happen. The Dolphins lost and Tua managed only 14.42 points. My backup, Baker Mayfield, had a better day on my bench with 23.00. I take some solace in that playing Mayfield wouldn't have changed the outcome. I still would have lost.
Other than Tua's 14 points, which were well shy of his projection and not in the same galaxy as his ceiling, I only had two other double-digit scores from my players. Michael Pittman had eight catches but no scores in Indy's win at Carolina for 10.40 points and my other Colt, kicker Matt Gay, netted 11.00. That was it. Wide outs Terry McLaurin (9.80) and Rashid Shaheed (3.70) did little in Washington D.C. or New Orleans' wins and my RBs got nothing going with Breece Hall held to 8.00 by The Chargers while Darrell Henderson a non-factor with 4.45 in the stomping of the Rams by Green Bay. And of course my TE Arizona's Trey McBride only a 3.70 in the shut out by Cleveland.
Now that Kirk Cousins is out for the season will Justin Jefferson even suit up to play once he comes off of the injury report, though maybe the stunning performance Josh Dobbs pulled out of his hat this week will convince him there are balls to be caught? Miami is looking weak and streaky, will De'Von Achane make a difference even if he is healthy?
Things look bleak, My Friends. Three losses in a row knock me down to 4-5 in eighth place. I am bleeding out with nary a bandage in sight, much less a transfusion. At 4-5 I have the same record as the real life Colts, Commanders, Raiders, and Falcons. Any of those seem like playoff teams? Neither does mine.
Gotta say this about Pike, he sure knows how to put on a show. :up:

Last place with no light at the end of the tunnel!
Teensy weensy bit of hope on my end, my point total is like 5th or something so if I can get near the bubble I'd probably be able to tiebreak my way in. It looks like I might get Montgomery back, and maybe even Conner, which would leave me with crazy RB depth all of a sudden.
I'd actually be fairly confident in making it if I'd squeezed out even one more win to this point.

Brother if you pulled it off it would be the hugest comeback Ever in all of our fantasy leagues. Seriously, and good luck :up:
Yeah, that's my silver lining version of this season, I've always wanted to pull out a great run in the midst of a disaster season, so at least the first step's done. :laugh:
I on the other hand am that floater that no matter how many times you flush, just won't go down the hopper. 5th place. Ahead of Wyld and Justin. It's just criminal really.
Week 10
North Dallas TONGO vs Censored Clowns ( or King Kong vs Pennywise, idk)
I will be without Mahomes, Pacheco, and Rice. Josh Downs is down. So instead subbing in Russell "I don't want to be here" Wilson, the maddening duo of Amari Cooper & Gabe Davis, and Najee "Dont take my job" Harris.
Yahoo has the odds at Spaulding with a 63% chance to win, and I can't argue. The thing the Clowns have to worry about is the toxic cloud which emanates from my team each week making my opponents score their season lows. Magic?! Luck?! Contagious suck?! I dont know.
If I win without the "TONGO curse" being a factor, then I may be legitimate. If I lose, I can accept that. If I win thru weirdness, then I'll be right along with the rest of you hating my team which doesnt deserve to be there.
Why? Because...

I get a favorable matchup with Parrotheads this week, since his top two WR are on byes, and I can switch Mostert with White, who finally seems to be coming around.

Eh, you had the 4th-highest total of the week. Not horrendous luck, but bad luck, for sure.
Schedule is massive. I started 2-5 and compared myself week-by-week to one of the top teams over the same time period, and with the exact same scores, but their schedule instead of mine, I would've been 5-2.
The weekly matchup aspect of fantasy continues to be one of the silliest things about it. I can honestly say I've never heard a good defense of it. I think the only defense possible is just that more randomness is good, which isn't an argument I really understand but isn't one I can technically argue with much, since lots of good games benefit from some amount of randomness and there's no clear line between how much is too much, and how much is reasonable.

Yeah, randomness and being able to get like, live bodies that play entire games is extremely challenging as some of you are well aware. And in competitive leagues like this one you'll have to throw a lot of darts at the waiver wire to fill holes. Darts is a hard game to.
I like Head to Head, it gives a chance for anyone to win ANY GIVEN SUNDAY :)
If you sort FA RB by attempts Chubb is still 10th, by yards 2nd. To say it’s a graveyard doesn’t even begin to describe it. Ugh, sick of getting doughnuts from multiple skill players every damn week.

You once suggested a new format where instead of head-to-head match-ups, wins and losses are determined by whether a team is a top-half scorer each week. So out of curiosity I combed through the previous nine weeks, awarding wins to the top six scorers each week and losses to those in the bottom six. Here's how the standings would currently look under that format:
1.) Wylde Wolves: 7-2
2.) Censored Clowns: 7-2
3.) Parrotheads: 6-3
4.) WhentheLe'VeonBreaks: 5-4
5.) Return of the Dark Decade: 5-4
6.) LOVE Brokers: 5-4
7.) 11 Angry Men: 4-5
8.) Bustin' Justin's Bad Boys: 4-5
9.) North Dallas TONGO: 4-5
10.) Titletown Champs: 4-5
11.) Wide Right: 2-7
12.) All Tuckered Out: 1-8
Sedai and seanc are the two who have benefitted the most from an easy schedule this season, whereas Wyldesyde19 and Hey Fredrick have been the unluckiest with their schedules.

I've heard of leagues doing the 2 point per week scoring thing as well. One point for winning your head to head and one for finishing in the top half in points.
Hopefully it will come down to Monday Night Football with my match up. The Clowns are full force on Sunday, and Monday I'll have Russel Wilson, Gabe Davis, and Bass my kicker. Do have Kmet going tonight. lol! What is the difference between optimism and stubborn hopefullness?
Looks like CeeDee Lamb (34 fps) got vaccinated to the TONGO curse, and I'm gonna need over 50 from Russell Wilson, Gabe Davis and my kicker Bass to beat Spauling tomorrow night.
Looks like I got stuck playing either the top or second-highest scorer yet again.

Just made it over the goal line for another close victory vs. Mr. Pike's Love Brokers. Will now go to 5-5, with a really tough week to come. One of my top backs goes on a bye, and both my current sub TE and my main guy are out for various reasons. What little hope I had for a late season run will most likely be extinguished next week.

I woke up right as the game was ending. Took the lead about 5 minutes after I opened my eyes. We've all had that happen to us if we've played this game for a few seasons. Yodas team led the entire time until right at the end. Doesn't make it any easier to swallow. Its just crazy. Maybe if you didn't have 6 fingers on your right hand, this wouldn't happen to you!
Yep, came a few minutes away there. The fumble gave me a glimmer of hope.
Somehow I don't think I'm out of it yet, but that's a pretty rough one. Just keep playing the wrong people at the wrong time.
I don’t know if it’s funny, or should make me cry, that my fantasy team and real team have about mirrored each other this year. Unfortunately I don’t have an OC to scapegoat.

I was sooooo close to winning, this week. All I needed was one stinking touchdown. Unfortunately I needed it from a New York Jet. So another loss, it was! For only the third time since I lost my two stars, Justin Jefferson and De'Von Achane, I broke a hundred total points for a week. But I was still short.
It started out predictably poorly for me. Between injuries and BYEs I didn't have a lot of choices for my FLEX spot. My two best choices were Chuba Hubbard and Brandon Aiyuk. Because Deebo was due back for Frisco and McCaffrey was healthy again, I went with Hubbard. Unfortunately for me, The Panthers were just plain terrible on Thursday Night Football, and Chuba (rhymes with tuba) had only 23 yards on nine carries plus another 16 on two passes. No score, of course, so that only adds up to 4.90 Fantasy points.
The good news is one of my two Washington Commanders finally had a big, breakout game. Brian Robinson Jr., though he still struggled for yardage on the ground (38 yards on eight carries), had a great day catching passes, aided by two big chunk plays, including a 51-yard TD. 119 receiving yards in total, and a Fantasy score of 24.70. Hallelujah! It was his second highest score of the year (he had a 27.90 against Denver in Week 2) and what I have been waiting for all year, as a Fantasy manager and a Commanders fan. Hopefully this performance gets him continued looks in the passing game.
While Robinson was having one of his best days as a pro, the team's nominal top receiver, Terry McLaurin, was again mostly shut out, managing only 33 yards on eight targets. *sigh* His 5.30 was the fifth time this season and the second time in three weeks where he couldn't even break 10.00. He is waaaaay overdue for a big game. Mayhaps it will come this week against their floundering division mates the NYG? My other WR, Michael Pittman, had a decent day for Indy, 8 of 12 targets for 84 yards. But he didn't score so that added up to 12.40.
TE has been a black hole for me all year. I know I am not alone, but it is still frustrating. BUT, after all those weeks of ineptitude (including two weeks where the position posted a 0.00) I may have found a late-season diamond in the rough! Arizona Rookie Trey McBride had en explosive game in Week 8, when I didn't play him. He came back to Earth in the crushing defeat to Cleveland, but in Kyler Murray's first game off the IR he caught eight balls for 131 yards! He didn't score against Atlanta or his number would have been amazing, but my Tight End got me 17.10 points! Oh. My. God.
I had to use my backup TD, as Tua had a BYE. Happily Baker Mayfield had a pretty good game in the win over the floundering Titans for 22.32. Which to be fair beats Tagovailoa's scores in two of the past three weeks. So he ably served his purpose as my BYE coverage.
It all came down to Sunday Night Football. Sedai had two great performers in Brock Purdy (who did get a TD for Aiyuk on my bench, dagnabbit) and Amon-Ra St. Brown who scored 29.84 and 26.50, respectively. I couldn't get too mad about St. Brown, as I have him on my other Fantasy team and I needed his points myself (we do full PPR so he got me 30.50!). Even with those two giant scores I could have caught him. He had nobody going Sunday night or Monday and I still had my DEF (Las Vegas) and my defacto top RB Breece Hall. The Raiders got me 8.00 points against The Jets, but what I really needed was about fourteen or fifteen points from Breece. Frustratingly he ran in for a TD....but it was called back for holding and he never sniffed the goal line again. Only 28 yards running but another 47 on three passes for an even 9.00. I lost 113.04 to 109.72. a gap of only 3.32. That frickin' holding call - and the overall ineptness of the Jets offense - cost me the win. Or if I had started Aiyuk over Hubbard.
If I had stopped the bleeding at 5-5, with possibly getting both Jefferson and Achane back I may have had a chance to make a late run towards the playoffs. But at 4-6 with four other teams with a game lead, from tenth place a late charge is gonna be damn tough. It is going to take winning out the rest of the regular season, which is likely waaaay too much to ask for, superstars or not.
A damned close game, Holden! I was sweating, for sure. Pretty sure it call comes crumbling down for me this week, but we shall see...
If anyone needs a running back, I've somehow (despite the record) got three top 20 guys (Robinson, Montgomery, Conner) and another three just outside of that range (Singletary, Ford, Hunt) I'd be willing to move one to upgrade at TE or WR or whatever.
That group averaged almost 14 points last week and most of them seem to have an abnormally high floor, but I can't start 'em all.

Yeah, that's a bummer. At least you got a 10 spot out of him before he left. I have an uncanny knack of playing guys that go out in the first quarter. Watson, earlier in the season as a matter of fact. So, hopefully my quota has been filled for the year.. Goodtimes!
Well, put up another good total, but yet again I've been paired with someone possibly having a slightly better one. Sedai's on pace for his best total of the year, in fact.

Just look at yourself as a good luck charm.
Well, your human good luck charm worked like gangbusters again: faced the highest scoring team this week. I've got the highest Points Against now by a wide margin. In fact the gap between me and 2nd is larger than the gap between 2nd and 7th.
The really bonkers thing is how consistent it's been: I went back and checked, and since week 3 I've faced scores ABOVE the league average in every week but one. And in the majority of those weeks (five out of nine), my opponent's scored over 120. Over 135 a third of the time.
Been playing 16 years and can't say I've ever seen anything like this. That'll about do it, though. I think 7-7 would've gotten it done but it'd be pretty bizarre if 6-8 did, even with a really high points total.
Yep - Good game, Yoda.
My team has been terribly inconsistent, but this just happened to be one of the weeks where my players actually performed well for the most part. Aside from the TE and Flex positions, and oddly my first round guy, everyone overperformed. Dallas D has been a boon, as they tend to go off more often than not. I have my RB2 back next week, so I will try to keep it going to see if I can squeak into the playoffs this season. The other 5-5 matches are predicted to be in my favor - we will see where everyone lands after this evening.
I need 53.21 fps to win tonight against Parrotheads. Thankfully it's all on my Chiefs - Mahomes, Pacheco, and Rice. So, there's a chance. Theyre playing the Eagles in Arrowhead so KC has home field, and Mahomes most likely will be in a shootout with Hurts. Sounds like a good game.

I need 16 from Swift. Certainly not optimistic. In fact odds are probably better he gets injured on first possession and I get yet another 0 point game.

Yeah it's brutal. Whenever I think I got a bad batch of players, I can look at what you've been saddled with and I go silent. If I ever think I have bad luck, I look at Yodas (well documented) weekly statistics of his opponents scoring trends, and know there's a difference between having bad luck and being outright cursed.
I dont know if just a newfound lucidity, or that this has been a rough season in many ways for most of us. Then I look at Old Faithful, aka Yoda 2.0, aka Censored Clowns and am reminded how the same people keep showing up at the finals table in the World Championship of Poker. It's just a simple fact, I suck at Fantasy Football. Fantasy Baseball too. Do I enjoy it? Yknow, once I come to grips to expect nothing, I then appreciate everything. Best to not obsess, and never absolutely never ever ever bet money on it.
Then the delusion breathes life again and I wonder what the best of our league would say if someone middle of the pack presently ends up winning it all?!
Sigh. Hope is a double edged sword lol

There really wasn't much hope left for my season being salvaged, but entering Week Eleven there was still a little. But we're quite done with that, now. I cobbled together just over a hundred points, but it wasn't enough leading predictably to my fifth straight loss and the effective end of my season. Winning out the final four games was a heck of a lot to ask, but stumbling on the very first one drained any residual drama out of the situation.
My only hope was tied to the return of one or both of my injured superstars. Justin Jefferson has been eligible to return from the IL for a few weeks, but once again he was not activated, which isn't an encouraging sign that he is going to play at all again this year, either because his injury is lingering or because he has only one more year on his Minnesota contract and doesn't want to risk missing hefty time next season and jeopardizing his chances of a big-time extension or landing somewhere else via trade.
However, my other ailing star, Miami rookie RB De'Von Achane, was indeed tracking for return. With his gaudy 12 yards-per-carry average and a less than stalwart Vegas Raiders opponent, if he was activated I was surely going to be playing him. With BYEs the only other option on my bench beside Achane was Chuba Hubbard, whose 4.90 showing last week helped me to a loss. De'Von did suit up and go!....but after just three plays he seemed to re-aggravate the same knee that landed him on the IL and he was pulled and did not return. He had a single yard rushing and one short pass completion for four yards for a grand total of exactly 1.00 Fantasy point. Ouch. He isn't yet back on the IL nor shut down for the rest of the season, officially he is listed as day-to-day. But whether or not he returns at some point and can get back to the dynamic player he had been earlier in the season, it no longer matters to me.
Of course lowly Chuba Hubbard on the 1-9 Panthers ended his week with 7.50 points, which is hardly anything to crow about but in a close week a significantly better score than 1.00 and would have made the difference. *sigh*
Achane's teammate Tua Tagovailoa had a pretty good if unspectacular game numbers-wise in the win over Las Vegas with 325 yards passing and a pair of TDs, though again mitigated by his two turnovers, ending with 21.60 points in a week where had he gotten closer to his ceiling I would have cruised to victory. And while Achane stumbled my other two backs carried the load. Commander Brian Robinson had another good game, once again buoyed by some big pass plays for 131 total yards, but no TDs in the embarrassing loss to the Giants, for 16.60. The Jets continued their laughably lackluster campaign, though Breece Hall managed their only score of the day versus Buffalo, a receiving TD and 73 total yards for 15.80, which was a rather miraculous fantasy accomplishment in a game where the final score was 32-6.
My top score of the week came from Brandon Aiyuk, who for the second straight week scored a TD and had his best game of the year with 156 yards on only five catches for 24.10! Unfortunately the struggles for Washington's Terry McLaurin continued and by contrast his five catches were good for only 43 yards and no scores and 6.80 points, the third straight week where he couldn't even get to double digit fantasy points. Ugh. Doubly painful as a Commanders fan, watching their season implode right along with mine.
On a week where a nice little surge from my kicker or defense might have put me over the top I got just 3.00 from Detroit's Riley Patterson (three PATs!) and 6.00 from their DEF in what I hoped would be an epic, butt-kicking rout of The Bears but instead turned into a shootout they only pulled out in the closing minutes. As for my TE, Arizona's Trey McBride continues to be my best option, and he had seven targets in the loss to Houston, but only five catches for 43 scoreless yards and a ho-hum 6.80, far from the 17 and 20 point scores of recent weeks. Conswarnit!
After all of that, I did crest a hundred points (101.70), and Sean's team was behind me at the end of Sunday's play by 15.76 points. He had but one player going on MNF, Philly's D'Andre Swift. Swift hadn't topped fourteen points since week four and had only scored more than 15.76 twice all year. Which meant, obviously, he was going to have a big night. When I saw in the pregame it was raining in Kansas City I knew I was fu*ked. Sure enough, Swift scored the first TD of the game in The Eagles' second drive, only his fourth score of the year, just about guaranteeing that minus injury or a couple fumbles he was going to best fifteen points. He ended with 18.20 on 107 total yards, giving Wide Right a 2.50 margin of victory. So one stinking field goal or a modest 4.00 from Achane instead of a 1.00 and I am 5-6 and still have a mathematical chance. Instead 4-7 insures I am done. Even if Jefferson were to come back and Achane's knee was fine and they both averaged 30.00 points a week the rest of the way I no longer have a path.
Justin Jefferson and De'Von Achane both went down in Week Five. I managed a win in Week Six (https://www.movieforums.com/community/showthread.php?anchor=1&p=2417933#post2417933) without them to go to 4-2 and I was in fourth place. Have. Not. Won. Since. Now I am 4-7 and in tenth place.
Yeah.

Losing my third game in a row and losing Burrow for the year was a hit punch. Totally took the wind out of my sails. I need to win my last 3 but I don’t have the confidence to pull that off. Not unless my team suddenly goes off.
At least I have Yoda to end the season. Should have my best scoring game of the year against him, again.

Goodness. Montgomery took a nasty shot and he looks hurt. He looked hurt before that 2 point attempt, but that hit spun him around.
I've no words for my disappointment in my own decision making. Hopefully the lengthy time before the next fantasy football draft will be enough to scab over the wounds of this season, and Ill never ever try and be creative or take chances anymore. I want to be a boring coach, no frills, just a sure group of starters and a sure group of fillers that never outscore my starters on a 50/50 basis. The pain. The pain. 2 more games, there's no movement left in my body but the pain doesn't know and will surely continue.
Wyldesyde19

Good game with Tuckered Out. Offense seems to be back. Kyren scored 35 on my bench, so he’ll move back to the starting spot.
I get Holden and Yoda to finish out the season. If I can win those last two, and get some help along the way, 7-7, while not ideal, would get me into the playoffs. It’ll be tough.

From winning it all last year to 2-10 this year. My goodness.

Two more and Adam ties the all-time league win streak record.

Nothing left to analyze or rationalize. Lost my sixth in a row and pulled my lowest score yet. Only two of my spots managed double digits, and those were only a 12.00 and a 15.70, while my K and DEF combined for 0.00. Though I suppose I should at least be grateful it wasn't a negative number.
The only thing stopping my fall at eleventh place is that Dustin had too big a "lead" and there are mercifully only two weeks left.

You will get no resistance from my squad. We may struggle to get 50 total points, this week. Death spirals are fun!

All right, Im going to try and make a personal challenge to not be negative the rest of the season. No reason to damper anyone else's fun, but I will root for PW or Sean to win it all since they haven't before.
Rashee Rice had an awesome game last week. Here's hoping he becomes a dependable earner going forward. With the amount of targets Josh Downs always gets he's earned his slot too. Finishing with a winning record would be a nice way to end the season.

Tua and McBride staking Holden to an early lead. Not panicking. I only have Mostert vs nearly his entire lineup during the 1:00 games
Hopefully his scoring plateaus a bit during the second half, and my 4:30 guys can make up the difference vs Aiyuk and Tampa D.
Love and maybe KC D can overcome whatever deficit there remains during the 8:20 game.
Going to be an interesting game.

After I say that, Achane vultures a TD away from Mostert. Big swing.
His lead has grown to 36 now. Too much more and it becomes too difficult to overcome.
As an aside, McBride, Ferguson and LaPirta have become TE to target outside of Kelce and Andrews now.

Geeeeez!
Pittman scores a TD in OT to extend the lead to 62.5.
Holden has his best game in awhile and leads 116.5 - 54.
Pretty much comes down to how my 4 pm players produce.

Will this be the worst regular season for anyone in Mofo history?
I was worried about this week with my best two players on bye. Nice to get the win so I can breathe easy against Cap next week. Trying to save my win against him for the playoffs. ;)
Wow Green Bays defense is doing a terrific job! Holding Mahomes to under 9 fps :up:

Love, and the return of Kyren from IR, plus the Evans trade has really turned my season around.
If this score holds, I would need a win over Yoda to secure my spot in the playoffs.

Fantasy will always take a back seat when it comes to rooting for my favorite team. Dropping Christian Watson was a sign of tough love. Didn't want to do it, felt I owed it to him, but he was getting too comfortable not performing in my line up. 36 points in 6 games isn't going to cut it. He needed a change of scenery. I'm glad to see he responded well to his release - 51 points in 3 games playing with a bunch of Clowns. Hope his hammy is okay and he continues to put up big numbers on the ******** Clowns bench.
