Even with Gus Edwards getting a bit more work, it wasn't enough. Beat my previous record in this contest by 2 weeks, so I'll take it, always a blast!!!

Gah, I didn't get enough from Stafford and Parkinson last night. I'm still 4 points below the cutline with Gus Edwards (-1.4) and all of Chargers D. I think I need a TD from both to advance.

Definitely sweating. Kittle and Sutton helped a lot, but KW3 and Javonte didn't. I'm just over 10 points below the cutline, with Stafford (-13.45), Gus Edwards, Blake Corum, and Colby Parkinson who can replace a RB score of 1.4 and a flex score of 0, and then I get all of Chargers defense...

Oof, I'm almost 30 points below the cutline after the first round of games. Don't have any RB, TE, or Def scores yet, but my first QB (Goff), and 2 WRs (Nabers and Odunze) were all pedestrian. A TD from Stafford to Parkinson would go a LONG way for me...

Yea, Week 12 is going to be rough for most people, with so many teams on bye, so I'm hoping that levels the playing field. I've got Bijan, Shakir, Engram, Taysom, and Falcons D on bye, which is $74 of my budget (not including Rice and Reichard out for the year). Very little room for error...

Since TE was a big topic for this week, I looked at the Kittle / Hill ownership. Going into this week, there were 368 live teams with Kittle, and of those, 144 also rostered Hill. Will be interesting to see how many of the Kittle teams without Hill survive this week.

100% agree. I have played this for 3 seasons now, I rostered 3 TEs my first two seasons, and this year I thought there was a ton of value there, and this year I rostered 4 (Engram, Kittle, Hill, Parkinson). I've gotten a flex score from that group all but 2 weeks, and one of those weeks (week...

Colby Parkinson sighting too!!! No Kittle, no problem!!!

Taysom Hill off to a great start to try to bail me out if Kittle doesn't play!

I saved a lot of my roster iterations, and its too bad there isn't a tool where we can put in theoretical lineups. Out of curiosity, I looked at a 30-member team roster to see how it would have done. Turns out it would have been eliminated week 9. Glad I made the right decision!

How did Colby Parkinson save anyone? I thought he didn't even have a target?

I still can't believe Jared Goff threw 5 INTs and still gave me a better score than Stafford, lmao! Nabers on bye, so I'll be rolling with whatever Sutton and Shakir give me. They've been pretty consistent (combining for at least 20 points for the last 4 weeks), so hopefully they keep that up...

It is wild to me that 218 teams are still alive who drafted Blake Corum (myself included). He still hasn't counted for me even once.

Im at 111.2 (~14 over), with all of Goff/Stafford and Bates. Looks like I should be moving on!! Survived having KW3 on bye thanks to strong games Bijan and Sutton, and solid from Engram and Kittle. Never made it this far in the contest, really happy to still be invested this far in...

Im guessing all 28 Chase owners will advance after that. At least there were only 28 left so it didn't skew the outline too much...
