180 not gonna scare anyone but was pretty well rounded getting there let's keep train rolling 

 

[FUBAR]

So much for depth at QB. I added RGIII to back up Stafford and Brady

Wish I had that $7 back.

same.  Without him I would have kept a 3rd defense, Enunwa and jack Doyle. 

Oh well, at least we didn't have allen.

Yep

I'm happy with 188 without using my top rb (McCoy), 2nd receiver (Marshall) or Gronk. 

 

[Utter Chaos]

same.  Without him I would have kept a 3rd defense, Enunwa and jack Doyle. 

Oh well, at least we didn't have allen. 

I'm glad I only had $5 to spend on a 3rd QB behind Wilson and Carr and spent it on Josh McCown.

 

[BroadwayG]

I can only hope the cut line drops by .1 :X

 

[Don Quixote]

LOL. Out already.  Going big on Gurley and ADP was not the right strategy, apparently.

 

[Ignoratio Elenchi]

Looks like my numbers are a bit off from FBG. It'll be a few hours before I get a chance to reconcile, for now (and always) assume mine are unofficial and FBGs are correct.

Dunno if this helps, but your site has Enunwa 18.4 and FBG has him at ~19.3.

I'm not getting any points for Eli yet.  When does fbg update for MNF? 

Eta: actually that's not right, I have points for Jesse James but not Eli Rogers.

interesting...neither am I. In fact, without Rogers points it lists my entry as "JoeSteeler This entry is NOT still alive."

 

[JoeSteeler]

I sent an email to MF

 

[apalmer]

Probably the same Eli/Eric Rogers issue noted above.

Meanwhile, the first two Staff members (Harstad & Wimer) bite the dust.

 

[HairySasquatch]

All I know is that LeVeon and Gordon will be missed more than I thought they would when making my team.  Hold on....reinforcements are coming.  I just hope there is something left when they get here.

 

[FUBAR]

Probably the same Eli/Eric Rogers issue noted above.

Sure, but the fact that fbg seized the opportunity to add a sleeper they didn't originally have in the contest shouldn't prevent us from getting points for the new player. 

 

[Evilgrin 72]

My team clearly shows Eli (not Eric) Rogers with 0.0 points.  Hope they fix this.

 

[massraider]

Here's my team who lost Keenan Allen.  You never know, it's a long season.

Not true.  Your season could end next week.

Hi,
Sorry for the troubles. This should be good now.

[Worm]

Welp, my temp Tyrod/RG3 duo not looking great to hold out until Brady gets back.

 

[BroadwayG]

one of the 3 entries out by 0.05 points.

 

[ConstruxBoy]

Sorry to the guys out week 1. That sucks. 

 

[Gottabesweet]

How many people got cut?

 

[ochawkeye]

How many people got cut?

1368 of 14870 entries were cut this week (13502 remaining).

 

[The Man With No Name]

1368 of 14870 entries were cut this week (13502 remaining).

Wow. I finished tied for 7435, Exactly half of that 14870 total entry number

 

[SayWhat?]

Wow. I finished tied for 7435, Exactly half of that 14870 total entry number

Your team well defines mediocre then.

 

[abbottjamesr]

Your team well defines mediocre then.

Good news is Jeff Fischer made a 20 year career out of mediocre, you can too!

 

[fightingillini]

Pretty high cutoff in Week 1.  My team made it by about 20 points, but I am not very optimistic going forward.

 

[ochawkeye]

Sorry to the guys out week 1. That sucks. 

Probably doesn't make them feel any better that there are 6 Patriot homer teams that played Brady, Gronkowski, and Dion Lewis that all survived.

EDIT: Have to take that back.  Looks like the queries tool isn't quite live yet.  3 of those 6 actually did get eliminated.

 

[djjosee]

Welp, my temp Tyrod/RG3 duo not looking great to hold out until Brady gets back.

I have TT and RG3 ... difference id I have Stafford, who happens to have the same bye as TT (week 10).  Hopefully RG3 will be back by then, but I have a feeling he will never be back.

 

[themitch]

Not panicked by my team quite yet, but losing Keenan Allen hurts ... Hopefully TT can turn it around.

[gethugefast1]

made the cut 

 

[Organized Chaos]

I've been playing in this contest since they started it and only cashed once.  This year I put a heavy focus on top RB's and WR's and made sure I was bye friendly.  Hopefully it works out for me!

QB - Matthew Stafford - DET/10 - $12QB - Brock Osweiler - HOU/9 - $8QB - Carson Wentz - PHI/4 - $6

I went for value and bye weeks with my QB's.  I think Stafford is primed for a solid year, Brock should be serviceable and Wentz is a lotto ticket.

RB - Adrian Peterson - MIN/6 - $28RB - LeVeon Bell - PIT/8 - $27RB - Melvin Gordon - SD/11 - $14RB - Derrick Henry - TEN/13 - $7RB - Christine Michael - SEA/5 - $4

Top heavy with AP and Bell and good value on the other three IMO.  I'm betting on Henry or Gordon putting up some solid games at some point this year.

WR - Allen Robinson - JAX/5 - $28WR - Mike Evans - TB/6 - $24WR - Brandon Marshall - NYJ/11 - $22WR - Josh Gordon - CLE/13 - $13WR - Marvin Jones - DET/10 - $12WR - Kenny Stills - MIA/8 - $4

Normally, I take one studish WR and spend the rest on swing for the fences type players.  I went stud heavy at WR this year with Jones and Stills rounding out the bottom at great values.

TE - Zach Miller - CHI/9 - $8TE - Clive Walford - OAK/10 - $6TE - Tyler Higbee - LA/8 - $5TE - Hunter Henry - SD/11 - $4TE - Jesse James - PIT/8 - $2

I usually try to grab a stud here also.  This year I decided to go value and quantity over quality.

PK - Matt Prater - DET/10 - $3PK - Nick Folk - NYJ/11 - $2

TD - Kansas City Chiefs - KC/5 - $6TD - Houston Texans - HOU/9 - $5

Risky with only 2 kickers and 2 defenses.  I love the picks at D, going with 2 solid D's at great value. Kicker was strictly low cost and I made a last minute move to get Stills in the lineup and ditched a third K..

And..... Just like that, I am out week 1!   :(   I had really high hopes for this team. Thanks for nothing AP and Marshall  

ETA: Missed by 3.9 pts

 

[halebop78]

 im seeing alot of players who got burned by taking chances on hurt or suspended players even with the low cutline percentage. i think as this contest grows in popularity no week should be taken for granted in roster preporation

 

[eNdblu]

Is there a way to see ownership % of teams eliminated in week 1?
I'd guess quite a few had Gurley or Peterson on their team

 

[The Man With No Name]

Yes (there will be)

 

[ponchsox]

Made it by 7 but Tyrod Taylor is my only QB until Brady comes back, sigh.

I have Leveon Bell and Josh Gordon also so if I can make it to week 5 I could actually do something.

 

[FUBAR]

I'm pretty happy to be one of less than half (14/30) of the surviving teams with Brady, Gronk and Marshall.  One of only 7 (out of 9 originally) with those 3 and Gordon. 

 

[Tennessee_ATO]

Advancing, but there's nothing special about my team. Every week is going to be an adventure. Until I'm eliminated. 

 

[Ignoratio Elenchi]

Haha, that's exactly how I feel too. It'll be fun until my inevitable exit. 

 

[joffer]

This is the year.  Goin all the way.  I can feel it.

[joffer]

Week 2 lineup set!

 

[Rhythmdoctor]

Week 2 lineup set!

Yep! I took out Keenan and replaced him with Evans. 

 

[SeniorVBDStudent]

Yep! I took out Keenan and replaced him with Evans. 

This was actually one of several roster adjustments i made before the lock....dropped Allen, melvin and josh gordon and bennett in favor of evans, marvin jones, cook and RB depth.  Regretting drinking the Cook koolaid thus far...it must have been a GB ploy to motivate Jermichael Finley.

 

[jdoggydogg]

Yep! I took out Keenan and replaced him with Evans. 

Several iterations of my lineup included Allen. Glad I left him off.

 

[LittlePhatty]

Week 2 lineup set!

Glad they added Tajae Sharpe and Jalen Richard. I blew all my FA budget on them, but should be worth it.

 

[Tennessee_ATO]

I ranted on the Cook-love somewhere else about 2 weeks ago.  I never got it this year.  We have 7 years of data that suggests that (a) Cook can't/won't run route well, (b) can't/won't catch a cold, (c) can't/won't go up and get 50/50 balls despite being a physical freak, and (d) has an inflated sense of his NFL worth (recall that he demanded that the Titans franchise him as a WR -- they wouldn't even franchise him as a TE, and that was under a regime that typically took every opportunity to make bad decisions).  He LOOKS like he should be awesome.  About once every 2 years he IS awesome.  But 31/32nds of the time he is anything but awesome.  This was like his 4th "this is the year" year.  I bought in on the first 2, but never again.

 

[Rhythmdoctor]

Cook isn't even good once every 2 years. You're lucky if you get 2 startable games out of him.
