:( not good news before Zeke's byeBirdie048 said:Well, for all those (myself included) who have R Freeman....High Ankle Sprain - "could miss time" was reported....
Typically High Ankle Sprain can be 3-4 weeks or so, but they have 10 days to determine his status (KC next).
With Tenn, Dallas, LAC & ATL on bye next week, there could be some issues with injuries crippling teams!
I should be OK at RB as I have 3 out next week (1QB, 1 WR, 1 TE).
Good luck to those in need!
Looks like I'm eating a donut next week if I even get that far.:( not good news before Zeke's bye

It may "only" be 1000 teams, but that's 20% of the teams that are still standing. That's a higher percentage than anything before last week, plus we've had another week to add to the list of injuries (in addition to the byes). Just wait--from here on, each week even a higher percentage gets cut until we get to weeks 12 & 13 when it's "only" 500 and 250 teams getting cut. As the injuries mount, this is when it REALLY gets tough for 18 man rosters--teams who planned to survive with only one or two extra guys at a position get an injury or two and now are looking at zeroes.It's strange, the total reduction is 1000 teams, and yet it feels "tighter" than the previous 2-3 weeks...
Is it the Bye week issues or that the "remaining more competitive" teams give that impression?
Week 6 trim to 5,000 teams
Week 7 trim to 4,000 teams
Week 8 trim to 3,100 teams
Week 9 trim to 2,300 teams
Week 10 trim to 1,600 teams
Week 11 trim to 1,000 teams
Week 12 trim to 500 teams
Week 13 trim to 250 teams
Kind of surprised to see 295 have Lamar Jackson and only 67 have Jackson and Flacco. Would have thought almost every Jackson owner would take Flacco at least to start the year.
Yeah Chubb has a real chance to be a deciding factor in this contest.The answer is 147
Browns are just making room for the Lev Bell trade.Yeah Chubb has a real chance to be a deciding factor in this contest.
Now if only someone who trade for John Kelly and make him a #1

You just killed the wood for 147 ChubbiesBrowns are just making room for the Lev Bell trade.
569 Gordon ownersMelvin Gordon out, and also Gronk, huge!
This guy probably scored 213 points last week and probably though he was pretty solid at RB when the season started, but Fournette, Gordon, Hyde, Conner and Carson will give him two zeroes at RB this week.And, oh, yeah, just for good measure, he has Gronk and Jesse James, too.48 of the 569 Gordon owners backed him up with Ekeler, the 521 who didn't are gonna be sweating the next 2 weeks
2 Gordon/Bell owners = $67
51 Gordon/Fournette owners = $59
11 Gordon/Cook owners = $57
7 Gordon/Ajayi owners = $50
1 Bell/Brown/Gordon/Rodgers/Gronk = $157
He got 28 points from the DEN D, so he has a shotThis guy probably scored 213 points last week and probably though he was pretty solid at RB when the season started, but Fournette, Gordon, Hyde, Conner and Carson will give him two zeroes at RB this week.And, oh, yeah, just for good measure, he has Gronk and Jesse James, too.
I also have Royce and DJ, who combined for 18.2. Hoping at least one of those turns into a flex score with McCaffrey and Barber as my only other RB's not on a bye (Conner & Jones).I already had Royce Freeman (9.70) and David Johnson (8.50) stink it up on Thursday. Gordon sitting out couldn’t have come at a worse time with Conner out. I need big weeks from cheap WRs or I’m toast.
Unless P Barber... yeah, toast.
What's your team number?I already had Royce Freeman (9.70) and David Johnson (8.50) stink it up on Thursday. Gordon sitting out couldn’t have come at a worse time with Conner out. I need big weeks from cheap WRs or I’m toast.

Ah, Duane the Brain. I am rooting for Taywan Taylor with you this game101988
I'm with you. With Ben off, if Rivers doesn't have a good game, I have to trust Eli on Monday nightCmon Rivers!!! You're my only hope.
Right, if you survive with him then you've got an advantage at the end. The trick is surviving.Fournette has already been ruled out for week 8. He started as the 6th most common RB (2599), but after these next 3 weeks, he will enter week 10 likely under 200, and probably closer to 150.
Makes me wonder - if he is expensive again next year, will anyone take the risk?Right, if you survive with him then you've got an advantage at the end. The trick is surviving.
Yeah, I probably oughta change that handle next year. The station pinned it on me as a PR thing when I was doing fantasy football on Pittsburgh radio.Ah, Duane the Brain. I am rooting for Taywan Taylor with you this game
Instead, you get to lose .1I'm heavily rooting for OT in this game. I need more Rivers Cowbell.
I also wanted more Rivers, but as a Chargers nut, I wanted the win more than a few more fantasy points. Woulda been nice if TEN kicked the EP, then SD drives for a TD in OT.I'm heavily rooting for OT in this game. I need more Rivers Cowbell.
I don't wanna jinx it, but he could be saving my bacon as well.Thanks to Burton, I’ll likely be moving on because my RB completely crapped the bed.
I’m not quite in that good shape, but I feel better than I did before the day started. 130 (45 points over the line) after the 1pm games with John Brown/John Ross -4.1, Kelce -3 and Butker -1.After the early games sitting at 144.6.
I have Dalton, Zeke, John Brown, Gallup, Goodwin, Butker and Cincy Defense to go and a fairly low flex bar and low RB/WR bars to cross.

I hope so. First time all year I've been below the cutline. Need some guys to wake up.is this gonna be a record low cutoff? crazy low scores this week so far!
Anyone who doesn't eventually have more than 7 points at QB is in trouble.Hm will that Lamar Jackson TD count for anyone?

Thank goodness--he's now my high scorer for the weekGallup sighting!
