I will advance to week 10 on the strength of Joe Flacco's 45.4 points. Interestingly enough, I would not have chosen him if I knew he would have a week 10 bye, coinciding with my top QB, Patrick Mahomes. I will need Tua to step up next week, which seems unlikely given the Fins are playing...

Thank you, Mr. Pfizer!!! On to week 9! (y)

After cruising through the first 7 weeks with 30 points or more to spare each week, I find myself sweating it out for the first time in 2025. With JSN out on a bye, Bijan Robinson picked a bad time to put up a dud. I'm sitting at 124.45, 3.65 above the cut line with Mahomes (-34.25)...

Always good to be both lucky and good. You can't control luck, but you can control good, which lessens your dependency on luck.

Me too. Hope Old Man Joe can put up some numbers like this when Mahomes has his week 10 bye!

Keenan Allen is the best $5 I ever spent!

With only 10% of teams being voted off of the island this week, I think you'll probably squeak through. 🤞

I'd like to assume he's going to see more than 2 targets per game going forward. However, I've learned from mix-it-up-Matt to assume that target counts will vary immensely for all receivers on the roster from one week to the next. I have to wonder how much even the great Don Hutson would have...

I live less than an hour from Lambeau Field and have been following the Packers since Bart Starr was QB and Boyd Dowler and Carrol Dale were his receivers. I fell victim to the Matthew Golden hype, and broke my cardinal rule this year which is, "Never draft a WR on a team coached by Matt...

I shouldn't complain, as my team is closing in on 200 points. But, I will anyway! I really wanted both Aaron Rodgers and Kayshon Boutte and had them on my final roster. Somehow, the submission didn't go through properly and I missed out on both of them. Guess I should have done one last...

The 6 point passing TD scoring of this contest puts a dent in the value of the "good runner, poor passer" types such as Fields. This is as it should be, in my opinion. Seriously, would you really rather have Justin Fields as your QB than Joe Burrow (to name just one)?!

Not at $23. I'm out.

It makes perfect sense and I am taking your methodology into account while constructing my roster.

Agreed. Not much of any value to be found at $2-$3. I do find them to be a waste of money and a roster spot. On the other hand, there is quite a bit of value to be had in $5-$8 value range.

Pretty hard to pass him up at $5.
