Another week where at least I don't have to wait for MNF to know if I won or lost. I lost.
After winning two whole games in a row I am back where I belong. I actually had a decent week and might have had a chance were it not for my quarterback situation. Lamar Jackson was a Sunday afternoon scratch so I had to go to the waiver wire for a QB. Picked up Garoppolo then second-guessed myself and picked up and started Baker Mayfield. The Browns won, barely, but Baker was pretty lousy. He did throw a TD but also two picks and didn't manage double digits. Garoppolo wasn't a whole lot better stats wise, but at least he got 19 points. Even if I had started him those extra ten points were not going to make a difference.
Other than my QB situation my guys all did pretty well, really. Davante Adams had 27 fantasy points in their loss, Frisco's Deebo had 94 yards and a TD (though mostly on runs), Kittle had another TD, Devonta Freeman had 80 total yards and the game-winning TD for The Ravens, and even Jarvis Landry got his first TD of the season. Plus 14 points from my kicker!
BUT The Parrotheads had Jonathan Taylor who put up a fiddyburger with his five scores and 204 total yards as well as Aaron Rogers who earned 41.50 himself. I know what a great day Taylor had because I have him in my other league and he helped me cruise to an easy victory there, too. The only other player Parrot had with a double digit score was Mark Andrews and his 11.30, but that was plenty. And he still has Mike Evans going tonight. Even if Lamar had started and had a strong game it likely wasn't going to be enough. At least it would have been closer.
Looks like there are going to be five of us bunched up at the bottom at 4-7. We'll see how it finishes up but I believe my total lack of points may sink me right back down to number twelve again. Where I belong.
