I was rolling with Bijan and Pacheco for most of the tinkering time period. Literally on the last day moved some money around to replace Pacheco with Chase Brown, hoping that holds up as the right call.

I thought Engram was going to be lethal last year... got burnt, refused to roster him again. As a Falcons fan, I also only let Pitts disappoint me once, he will never be on my teams ever again, haha!

Here's my number for the badge: Entry 105109 This entry is still alive (as of the beginning of week 1) Week 1 QB Jared Goff - $16 0.00 QB Jordan Love - $15 0.00 RB Bijan Robinson - $37 0.00 RB Chase Brown - $26 0.00 RB Braelon Allen - $10 0.00 RB Nick Chubb - $8 0.00 RB...

More to stop myself from tinkering than anything, I started to do a breakdown of my team, and was a little bit surprised by some things, but not overly worried. First off, I may have slightly over-indexed on early byes. I have $89 (35.6% of total budget) out on Week 5, including my backup QB...

And now we test our self-control to not make any more tweaks... who will break first?!?!?

With 5 minutes left on the clock, had to make some final tweaks! Locking it in @TheWinz ! QB - Jared Goff - DET/8 - $16 QB - Jordan Love - GB/5 - $15 RB - Bijan Robinson - ATL/5 - $37 RB - Chase Brown - CIN/10 - $26 RB - Braelon Allen - NYJ/9 - $10 RB - Nick Chubb - HOU/6 - $8 RB - Keaton...

Update for Irelad, I think I'm locked in now: QB - Jared Goff - DET/8 - $16 QB - Jordan Love - GB/5 - $15 RB - Bijan Robinson - ATL/5 - $37 RB - Chase Brown - CIN/10 - $26 RB - Braelon Allen - NYJ/9 - $10 RB - Jacory Croskey-Merritt - WAS/12 - $6 RB - Kendre Miller - NO/11 - $4 RB - Keaton...

Gotta get something a bit more reasonable for my real submission, that last one was a fun experiment to try to shoehorn in the most expensive skill positions, haha. QB - Jared Goff - DET/8 - $16 QB - Jordan Love - GB/5 - $15 RB - Bijan Robinson - ATL/5 - $37 RB - Isiah Pacheco - KC/10 - $18 RB...

Just for fun, tried to make a team with the most expensive option at QB, RB, WR, and TE. Actually don't hate it. QB - Lamar Jackson - BAL/7 - $27 QB - Sam Darnold - SEA/8 - $10 RB - Bijan Robinson - ATL/5 - $37 RB - Isiah Pacheco - KC/10 - $18 RB - Jacory Croskey-Merritt - WAS/12 - $6 RB -...

Any of the contest veterans here have any data they'd like to share on success rate of rosters as a function of % of budget of starters compared to entire team? Like you have to have depth for byes and injuries, but are there any trends of like "if you only have 60% of your budget on starters...

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...
