Fantasy Football Woes

[Deleted]

Not sure about anyone else, but it has been a rough couple of weeks in Fantasy world (yes, the players themselves are the ones that truly have it bad, I get it).

Steve Smith Sr
Arian Foster
Leveon Bell

Three of my nine starters out for the season. Fortunately, I have the most points scored for the season to this stage (also the most points scored against) so I have a bit of a cushion if I can manage to win some tight ones on the way out. Currently sitting in 2nd place at 5-3 (1st place is at 8-0). 2 of my losses were by a combined .6 points....yes, that's right, .04 (against the 1st place team) and .56 the next week.

If Brady goes down - my season is over

How is everyone else doing this year?

I'm at 5-3 also. tied for first in division and tied for 3rd in league. I have rb troubles as well. I should be 6-2, but did a really boneheaded thing week 2 and lost. I think I'll be okay though. Palmer, Hopkins, Beckham Jr., and D. Bryant should keep me in it.

I am 4-4 but the top scorer in the league.

We have 2 divisions of 6 teams, and I am in first in my division which automatically puts me in 2nd place, but it is tenuous at best.

I just lost Bell also, so I feel your pain there. Luckily, I have Ingram, McFadden, L Murray, and Abdullah to soften the blow a little.

I'm 4-4 in one of my leagues, good for 3rd, and top scorer in that league. Lost Charles in this league and that killed me. I was lucky to have Gurley in both my leagues, who has helped me out greatly. Not in love with this team but it is not terrible.
I'm 7-1 in one in my bigger money league, good for 1st, and top scorer in that league also.

My 7-1 team is pretty good and I've taken advantage of the no wavier(picks players up at any time). Here is my roster and it is a PPR league(10 teams).
QB(start 1): Tom Brady
RB(start 1): Todd Gurley
WR(start 1): DeAndre Hopkins
TE(start 1): Gates or Eifert
Flex(start 3): Dez Bryant, Matt Forte, Dion Lewis, DeAngelo Williams, Darren McDaffen, Mike Evans, West(KC RB)
Denver Kicker
On defense I pick up depending on best matchup.

Your RBs are really good.

Your QB is great.

Your WRs are...meh.

Overall, a really solid team since you can flex 3 RBs, though. Flexing Williams, McFadden, and Forte while starting Gurley and Brady will win you a lot of games I have to believe.

That is probably why you do not draft a senior citizen and a pot smoking loser as two of your top players!

Thanks for yet another reminder as to they I do not partake in the silliness that is fantasy football.

Ha, you're ridiculous Cincy.

Smith was having a solid season, and I doubt Bell smoking pot had ANYTHING to do with him tearing his MCL.

I think it's funny you're all about sports betting, but call FF "silly".

Betting on individual games and FF are way different IMO. And I get the concept of FF, but it has gotten to be so big, that to me the people have ruined it. All I hear all God damn day here on Friday and Monday is people talking FF, and God forbid I cheer for someone at the bar, because within three seconds some nerd checking his stats will say "Oh, is he on your fantasy team?" I have never been at a bar where betting dominated the convo, but it seems to happen with FF every Sunday if I dare venture out to watch the NFL.

End rant

Only have to start 1wr so not worried about that. And Hopkins is killing it, top 3 wr so far in my league, #6 overall. Hoping dez Bryant can get back to himself before playoffs start for me.

Yeah, having a 3 RB flex makes up for your lack of WR depth, so you're fine there.

Brady is killing it.

HAD Jamaal Charles,, Picked up Jonathan Stewart. Brady is tossing the deflated balls at MVP levels so Im doing OK... 1 fumble from Stewart away from 7-1 so im not doing too bad.. 2nd OA with + points for.. Our tie breaker

Love how this league is set up where it gives you options to go either way.

And have Brady and gurley in both my leagues. They were both steals for me. Got lucky there

We rolled Brady in the 8th round.lol.... What a steal ! I though he would get the 4 games ! Had no clue God,al would be Trumped like that.. I also figured when he got back he would be pissed a LIGHT up the league.. The man can outright throw throw the rock.... I screwed up and had a chance to get Rogers in the second but chose R Wilson as GB was having early OLine problems, game matchups with Russel and the Seahawks pissed over the Superbowl.. #dumbass...

Bye week blues....

Lots of players off this week for me and need every point I can scratch and claw out of this week.
Flex options-
Delanie Walker
F.Gore
J. Mathews
D. Monchrief

I have been leaning towards playing Walker all week due to the match ups.

Who would you start?
