I'm doing just this. Achane is a stud that has carried my team to the championship game, but after game results from Wed - Sat, I'm projected to lose by over 30 points. I have to prioritize upside. I believe the Dolphins offensive ceiling is capped without Tua, and the feeble Browns offense...

I split my Week 2 survivor portfolio among the Seahawks, Eagles, and one Ravens entry for absolute safety. :loco: After two weeks, I've got just one survivor contest entry still alive. Everyone's got a bad beat story, but Saquon's dropped pass was a killer. Looking ahead, I'll probably be...

Glad to find some of the same "faces" in this thread again this season. 👋 Ravens indeed seem like a lock, but also very popular. I'll take them in my small friends and family pool. For large field contests, I'm a believer in taking calculated risks early in the season. I'd rather save the...

Joe Burrow Mic'd Up "That's a first down, brother" Obviously selectively edited by NFL, but it speaks to team chemistry and how vicious even the most innocuous of hits on the QB really are.

Wow, what a performance! Joe looks to be all the way back to health, and his mobility and ability to go under center have opened up the offensive playbook. :thumbup:

:bag: This is me, but with Sam Howell. I took a flier on Howell with my last draft pick to cover Burrow's calf injury, and wisely started Howell in week one. In following weeks, I was way too quick to trust Burrow, and should have been starting Howell all along. Glad Bengals are on their bye...

I started Howell instead of Burrow this week. :bag: Stafford, who I liked a bit better than Howell, was on the waiver wire, but I had already started Howell over Burrow in Week 1 expecting a slow start from Joe. I then started Burrow in Week 2, only to see him again outscored by Howell. How...

:kicksrock: Dadgummit. Lions lost the OT coin flip, and never touched the ball on offense again. I thought that rule was changed after the Bills / Chiefs controversy a couple of years ago, but Googled it today to see that only applies in the playoffs.

Buffalo seems appealing, but I keep going back to Detroit. Lions showed a good pass rush against the Chiefs, and now have had a long week to prepare for the Seahawks, who may be missing both offensive tackles.

Help me Pittman, you're my only hope! :scared:

Losing my MVP Goedert is a real blow, but Dawson Knox stepped up. I figured I was a goner when Mixon left early, but then Evan McPherson comes out of nowhere with a huge game. On to Thanksgiving Week!

I've been out of town, and unable to keep up with the pace of posting here in the thread. Just had to drop in and note that three of my five RBs were just traded last week. RB Joe Mixon - $30 RB Aaron Jones - $27 RB Chase Edmonds - $14 RB Nyheim Hines - $13 RB Jeff Wilson - $3 I'm ecstatic...

Feel quite fortunate that the Taysom cheat code has covered my boneheaded same-bye week TE pairing of Goedert and Knox. Hell, I feel lucky to have dodged a couple of close calls with the Turk, given the state of my RB room. I imagine many contestants took a shot on Chase Edmonds, but $13 Nyheim...

Woo Hoo! Early Wilson TD and the late Pick Six boosts me over the cut line. :excited: On to Week 5. What a sweat.

:scared: Looks grim for me with just 131.90 ( 4.15 below the tentative cut line). Only have Jeff Wilson -8.5 and the 49ers D -9 left to take the field. Looks like fading Dameon Pierce bit me in the butt after all!
