Marie Antoinete has the lowest projected points this week and also has the most FAAB remaining. Will the trend continue?

I wish I didn't waste $22 on Le'Veon a few weeks ago. He's being an ass hole.

I knew this was probably going to be my toughest week. #trusttheprocess I guess

It's looking like Todd Gurley is about to hit the waiver wire

Yup, is this where Marie blows the load?

Looks like I have the second highest remaining budget...what to do?

This is where the strategy gets fun. This may not be the only time Gurley hits the waiver. Do you go for him now, or let another team spend a bunch of money knowing there will be other quality players next week? On the flip side, Gurley is the number 1 player in fantasy.

For me there may be no 'flip side'.

I have been among the lowest scoring teams every week and cant afford to sit back and watch the better teams improve while I try to outrun percentages

66+ for Gurley?

Depends on how much you need him, I guess.

He's number 1, but having only Gurley and a few others sprinkled in might not be enough to win. Once you blow your budget on Gurley, you won't be able to get any of the remaining top players over the next few weeks.

Conversely, the average player on the waiver should get better and better as rosters fill up with the top players. The balance is tough.

I will say one thing, you definitely don't want to be sitting there saying "what if" after you get eliminated with FAAB remaining.

Could be some leveling going on. Maybe not.

Only two people remaining have 66+ in their budget. Bosco has 65, so I assumed 66+ wasn't an accident lol.

It's also a $10 league and this is my first year doing this, so I think it's fun to discuss some of the general thought process.

I don't think anyone is going to come in and post legit bid thoughts, though lol.

Yeah I look at is as more of a leveling game, I think it's totally fine. Don't believe anyone is telegraphing their actual bids

It's really cool to see the projected game lines go up each week as teams become more stacked

Definitely. Things are certainly tightening up. It'll be tilting to be the lowest scoring team by only a few points.

Top part of waiver report this week. Anyone else not shown went for $1 or $0. Wallace went all in to get Gurley - they now have Kamara/Gurley/OBJ. The person who had $1 of FAAB since like Week 2/3 spent their last dollar - so now there are only 7 teams left of the remaining 9 that have any FAAB.

FML - wasted $19 on Wentz in a desperate move to get off the Stafford train. Actually had my bid set at $10 and bumped it up last night 'to be sure'

Going to be an interesting week. Is Marie going to go down with $93 remaining? I'm not feeling super great about my team this week, but I think I have enough to not be the lowest. I really hope Michel goes.

If Marie does go down, I'll have the top amount remaining...

I didn't think $47 would be enough for Gurley, and I'm actually surprised it was the second highest amount bid. But that makes me feel good about my strategy.

kinda thought I'd get evans tbh. Not too upset-I've got $34 more than the next closest. If I lose this week, so be it. If I don't...I can basically add what I want over the rest of the season with only a slim chance of going broke, giving me a really good shot at winning I think. I could go down in flames, tho. C'mon, Michael Thomas!!
