I get to go to turn off this game after Funchess gets his 5 fantasy points (1/3PPR, 1 pt every 15 yards, 6 pt TDs) that i need to fade. Hopefully it happens in the first quarter or even better, not at all.

Tied for 11th now with an easy JAX pick. Literally everyone in front of me has picked JAX already so barring a disaster against the Browns, I should be gaining ground. No real easy high value picks for those other people to go with either, so this will get real interesting after next week.

No prob, glad it worked out!


Yeah JAX should be good - was there another consideration this week?

Also - go ahead and post your projected picks for the rest of the way now that you used DET and thought about it some more.

Btw, quite a 49ers pick by the 205 team.

Yeah ballsy as hell pick on SF there.

No real other consideration this week - JAX is by far the way to go. Setting up nicely since everyone in front of me can't pick them, and below are the only spreads of 5 or more points:

NO (7.5, worth 24 points, but 9 of 11 in front of me can't pick them)
KC (13.5, worth only 8)
NE (5.5, worth 1 lol)

and that's it. A lot of bad teams on bye (Colts, Jets, 49ers) works out really well for me here. #1 seed will clearly pick NO, no idea what everyone else will take -- my guess is a lot of TEN picks (11 points) due to the Cardinals QB situation and having to go west->east.

Week 12 is the tough one. I can't pick BAL or TEN, used them already. Leaning towards taking CAR (17) @ NYJ.

So:
Week 11: JAX @ CLE (27)
Week 12: CAR @ NYJ (17)
Week 13: LAC (25) vs CLE
Week 14: uhh.. help. HOU (10) vs SF? NYJ (30) @ DEN?
Week 15: MIN (18) vs CIN
Week 16: CHI (29) vs CLE
Week 17: depends where I'm at, who is benching starters for playoffs, etc. MIA vs BUF doesn't look terrible but this week is so depending on where I'm at there's little reason to dig deep into it right now.

Catching the #1 is going to be tough -- they almost surely pick NO this week against WSH, can mirror me with LAC in week 13, MIN week 15, and CHI week 16. Would be really nice if the Redskins beat the Saints and I vault over them and don't have to play catch up.

#1 seed doesn't have an easy pick week 12 either.. I guess they take MIN @ DET or more likely, BAL vs HOU .. if they go NO/BAL, I go JAX/CAR, I'd gain a net 6 points total. ugh. Really need them to strike out on one of those, otherwise week 14 I'd have to pick NYJ to try to close the gap. Not sure who they'd take that week -- doesn't look like a good option for them at all.

Wk. 14 is rough.


A few options:

Do exactly what you have planned. You may need to use NO @ ATL in wk. 14. Those Saints points might be needed.

OR

Consider this, and its tough:
-SEA @ JAX wk. 14. Seattle typically bad on the road. That frees you up to choose NO this week.

OR

-MIN vs. CHI wk. 17 - NFC race is tough, and they likely need this game for something.
Then you go with NO vs. NYJ in wk. 15, JAX this wk., gamble in wk. 14. Or you have to gamble cause the MIN points might not be enough.

I totally forgot wk. 12.

Yeah, only other thing is JAX @ ARZ, but then you have to do alot of shifting again.

I already took NO in week 9, so can't do that.

Oh wow, I misread that.

I guess MIA vs. TB this week is the only JAX alternative.

My lineup for that team included:
Tyrod
Fournette
McFadden
Kelvin Benjamin
Bengals D

I'm a luckbox

Have one 10 man team where week to week I have to pick a WR and a flex from Julio, Fitzgerald, Parker, Engram and Sanu. The other WR spot is filled full time by Smith-Schuster, who is probably impossible to sit. What's gross is I don't even know that Julio is a snap start every week. His struggles really blow.

happens to the best of us. I got knocked out one year because I picked a duplicate team.

Going to go JAX this week, since I don't even know who I would take in that MIA/TB matchup to begin with. Just a world of suck there.

So my running back situation is not good to say the least. I currently have leveon/j white/b Powell/ both browns rb's/

My wr are Baldwin/a cooper/e sanders/Parker then have gronk and brate at te

I'm trying to get a rb for one of my WRs since there is a couple of teams in our league weak at wr. What kind of back could I expect to get for Baldwin? Should I try and use gronk to get a rb or just keep him?

I would say your RB situation is just fine (assuming PPR, otherwise Duke and James White have no value)

Yes he was not active despite being completely healthy, so he can be ignored until Lewis and Burkhead get injured again.

speaking of Lewis, someone in my YPL dropped him, is he worth a #2 waiver? Derrick Henry is sitting on waivers as well, worth a #2? who's better ROS? rankings I saw they are in the same ballpark but IMO neither should have been dropped. burkhead is probably worth a look too? I guess, looking at some stats I shouldn't be super high on either and neither are pry worth the #2 but want some thoughts, think I would roll with D Lewis if anyone, his workload over the last 4 games has been respectable.

a quick rundown of my team, standard scoring

Russell, Stafford
A Brown, Hilton, AJ Green
Ingram, J Howard, B powell, D Johnson Jr, C thompson, Gore
Rudolph, J Cook

start 3 WR's 2 RB

Anyone trade gronk and Baldwin for Melvin Gordon?

Looks like a 6 team league or something? lol

Anyways, you will never start gore with those RBs available, so just drop him and go for Henry, most upside if Murray gets injured.
