Goodwin pushed me over 200 for the first time this season!  He replaced Drake (9.8)

Am I imagining things or did the Cut Line jump 16 pts?  

Used 21 of 22 roster spots....

Still have not used D Henry ($21) and currently $2 Dead Money with FA PK Zane Gonzalez

:goodposting:   When a highly-owned player goes off, you don't want to be the team that doesn't have him.  

Week 7 should be a good time to get rid of some teams that have been relying on Conner to cover for their under-performing big-money RBs like Bell, Fournette, Cook, Howard, etc.

I wanna see the heavyweight that comes out of these comments. I'm going Ignoratio. I think the other guys are busts and always have been. I'll take my lumps if wrong. You should see my backs.  

 
We are still alive!!!!!

Should be safe into the final 5,000

183.15 (Rodgers +13) on Dalton’s score

Goodwin +17 on my WR2 score.

Was 1.4 above cut going in. The cut line moved a bunch but Goodwin/Rodgers got me there!

I’ll likely be eliminated this week, only 1 QB, 4 RB’s (Barber, Clement, Mccaffrey, R. Freeman) I think a couple WR’s on bye too

Cut lines have been high. 

 
I really could use Gronk and Kelce to start putting up big numbers. I'm one of 39 left with both. 400+ with Kelce, 900+ with Gronk.

My only really other rarity is Rodgers (197) and he's on bye. Such a fun contest. Glad to make it this far but likely don't have it this week.

QB - Rodgers (4 weeks used, 195 teams remaining), Dalton (2, 1205)

RB - David Johnson (6, 557), Ingram (1, 176), Royce (4, 1803), Barber (1, 2503)

WR - Corey Davis (3, 476), Goodwin (2, 2113), Stills (2, 763), Lockett (5, 833), Cole (3, 2187), Gallup (0, 804), John Brown (5, 1465), Ross (1, 1509)'

TE - Gronk (4, 721), Kelce (5, 458)

K - Dustin Hopkins (2, 445), Fairbairn (2, 1232), Parkey (2, 613)

Def - Redskins (2, 175), Bucs (0, 184), Bengals (4, 500)

QB combo is working out really well so far. Rodgers hasn't looked like himself and yet he's still putting up good numbers, and when he hasn't Dalton has been there to fill in extremely well.

My RBs were limping along during Ingram's suspension and then almost immediate BYE week, but I should get solid production out of David Johnson and Ingram for the rest of the season. Johnson's BYE in week 9 is a big concern. Huge regrets getting cute and not picking Conner. I also had Saquon in most of my lineups, but everyone had examples of choices like this where they picked the wrong one. Conner was an obvious choice that I went against.

My WRs have worked out okay so far, but I don't like how uncertain their production is. John Brown and Lockett might be my two team MVPs so far. 

Unremarkable start for Gronk, but I still like this combo going forward. Week 11 will be tough with Gronk, Goodwin, and Stills on BYE.

Three kicker combo is working out well so far, good picks. Could have done better at Def. 

 
It is always surprising who the highest ranking percentage surviving players are. For me, Tre'Quan Smith and Goedert, both over 47% and neither has done much yet.

We are 1 of 3 rosters with Rodgers, Gronk, and Kelce.  I like your roster better however with Ingram/DJ.  I also have Dalton, we need him to be huge this week while Rodgers rests. I highlighted our common players.  I think I own 13/22 so  guess I'm rooting for you!

 
I had counted myself as out.  I looked over my roster and thought my only chance was Geronimo Allison.  So when he was inactive, I figured I was sunk.

I didn't remember that I had Marquise Goodwin on my team and I missed him on my quick roster scan.  What a nice surprise when I looked at the final results this morning. :pickle:

@Stephen Holloway

Those are survival percentages, not ownership percentage.  Smith has survived at a 47% rate v. 33% for the field.

 
6th year playing, decided to look back at my rosters of previous years for fun to compare them to this year's. Caveat is the scoring change this year for QBs and RBs. 

2013 - 18 players, averaged 181.51 points first 6 weeks, eliminated week 8.

2014 - 18 players, averaged 175.79 points first 6 weeks, eliminated week 12.

2015 - 25 players, averaged 194.66 points first 6 weeks, finished 41st overall.

2016 - 29 players, averaged 194.40 points first 6 weeks, finished 180th overall.

2017 - 23 players, averaged 187.87 points first 6 weeks, eliminated week 11.

2018 - 22 players, averaged 175.22 points so far, active. 

Not sure what to take away from this, aside from seeing that years with my two largest roster sizes were my most successful. I've been trending smaller the past two years, and my rosters are getting worse. Not a great start so far, but hopefully having Ingram back for the rest of the season will start to turn things around, and I don't have any significant injuries so far.

I believe that the reason so many folks enjoy this contest so much is that it is quite difficult to survive and advance. Rough going for me for quite a while, but much better the past four years. Still hopeful to be around several more weeks this year.

 
Best score of the year so far-228.4. Fournette missing so much time hasn't hurt me yet but have some bye issues coming up and several beat up players.

Are those breakdowns with 28 people having 1 QB Is that for this week or the whole thing?

Also I have 4 of the 5 RB's, and 3 of the 5 WR's yikes, not to mention Dalton, Gronk, Fairbairn, Cleveland, and Cinci.

A retrospective on my mediocre yet still alive team:

Philip Rivers, Patrick Mahomes, Andy Dalton

Overkill, obviously. But even if one of these three is lost for the season I still have two top 10 QBs most weeks. Wish I had spend the Rivers money on RB.

Joe Mixon, Kenyan Drake, Lamar Miller, Latavius Murray, Spencer Ware, Jeremy Hill

The weakest position for me every year, it seems. I love Mixon, the rest are garbage. If Miami's coach grows a brain, then Drake will become a stud. 

Davante Adams, Tyreek Hill, Corey Davis, Kenny Stills, Chris Godwin, Dede Westbrook, Cordarrelle Patterson

Stills awful, Corey Davis would be a star on a good team. Still, love this bunch.

Kyle Rudolph, Tyler Eifert, Tyler Higbee

I mean, poor group here. But TE a vast fantasy wasteland. Glad I didn't spend a lot here. 

Mason Crosby, Chandler Catanzaro, Caleb Sturgis

Blah, blah, kickers.

Carolina Panthers, Green Bay Packers

Blah, blah, defenses.

So, I am still hanging around due some fortune of the FF gods...

My roster from the above Top 5 Owned by position of remaining teams (22 on roster)

QB -   None

RB - Connor & R Freeman

WR - Goodwin

TE -  all 3 of my TE's are listed!  Burton, Goedert & Hooper!  

PK - none of the above

Def - Chi & Clev

So I have 8 of the Top 30 based on position....  or 26.7% Commonality with the masses.....does that make me more or less unique? 

Thoughts on Top 5 by Position - some of the names I can understand as they are performing well and their teams would advance, but the RB's & WR don't support this thinking outside of Connor.  But with most of these names all but invisible most of the start of the season from a fantasy perspective, how are they still so popular? 

Brieda & John Brown are both barely Top 25 by position and K Cole, R Freeman & Barber are barely Top 50....

I think there are three factors in play:

1. They were also among the most popular to start with, so even though their survival rate is only slightly above average (around 38-40% instead of 33%), the raw number still owned is high.

2. The biggest reason they were so popular to start with is generally their cost and their perceived value per dollar. Teams that relied on those cheap WRs were able to spend more money on positions where the bargains weren't as evident, building a stronger overall roster.  A few years ago there was a player (I can't remember who it was) that ended up being the most common player on the final 250 teams, even though he barely scored any points all season. His scores didn't help any of those teams reach the final.  But, he was cheap and during the preseason was perceived as having great value.  The teams that took him were the teams that used good logic in forming their rosters, so they did well even though that player didn't. It was the process that went into picking him that was important, not the pick itself. 

3. Those cheap players aren't invisible, they are (for the most part) doing exactly what was expected.  Nobody took Cole, Ross, Goodwin or Brown expecting them to suddenly become Top 10 (or even Top 20) WRs.  They were taken knowing that their output would fluctuate greatly from week to week, often scoring in single digits, but occasionally having big games, which is what they've done.  I don't need any of them to score 15-20 points every week (although it would certainly be nice).  All I need is for 1 or 2 of my 9 cheap WRs to have  that kind of score each week. Throw enough darts at the board and some of them are going to hit it, even if you aren't very good at it.

 
Week 7 bye players...

QB - Ben (617), Carr (375), Rodgers (195), Wilson (35)

RB - Conner (2882), Carson (907), Lynch (478), Jones (417), Williams (292), Montgomery (54), Samuels (43), Bell (40), Martin (37), Penny (34), Prosise (31), Richard (22), Washington (10)

WR - Lockett (833), Adams (679), Smith-Schuster (623), Allison (560), Antonio Brown (485), Washington (417), Marshall (237), Nelson (176), Cooper (149), Cobb (90), Jaron Brown (68), St. Brown (31), Baldwin (19), Bryant (7), Moore (4), Darboh (2)

TE - Graham (426), Cook (260), Vannett (196), James (184), McDonald (170), Dickson (23)

K - Crosby (670), Janikowski (349), Boswell (211), Pineiro (115)

D - PIT (444), OAK (356), GB (302), SEA (84)

Conner is owned by 53.2% of the remaining teams, and at only $4, has carried many teams.  This will be the week to see how many of those Conner owners chose wisely with their other RB's.

Another fun fact - the duo of Conner & Barber (1556) would qualify as the 8th most common player in the contest if they were one person, only behind Cole, Goodwin, Mahomes, Freeman, Breida, CHI D, and Burton.

Exactly.  Barber was only $8, and he was the starting RB for TB going into the season.  Even though he didn't do squat until this week, his low price is the reason why he has a survival rate of 40.23%, when the overall contest rate is 33.20%.  If you took his same weekly scores and applied them to an expensive RB, his survival rate would be more like Cook or Fournette.  As for the WR's, you hit the nail on the head again.  It's not the consistency you are paying for when you spend under $10 on a WR; it's the few times they can score in double digits.  Loading up on cheap WR's simply increases your odds of getting a few usable scores at the position each week.  A dud week from a $30 WR hurts a helluva lot more than a dud from a $5 WR.

 
Thank you both for the added insight!  I can see logic and may have utilized some of that theory in my roster build.  

Cost vs Value for the potential output!  Value is not always in the highest single position ranking but in the combined scores. 

Good input apalmer & TheWhiz!

:yes:

I usually do fine with WRs in this contest, and I like having two or three expensive players and five talented, underrated cheap players.

 
The only two weeks I didn’t use James Conner, I had superhuman efforts from Dallas Goedert and Mitchell Trubisky push me along.  I’m afraid I’ll need one of those this week, or you can add me to the people who are thinking this is the end.  

Or, maybe some overdue production from my deadweight.

USAGE

A Smith 3, M Trubisky 3, M Mariota 0

M Gordon 6, D Johnson 5, J Conner 4, P Barber (welcome) 1, R Freeman 0

J Brown 6, J Landry 4, G Allison 4, K Cole 3, T Taylor 1, T Williams (DAL) 0, J Ross 0

T Kelce 5, G Olsen 1, D Goedert 1, N Vannett 0, B Jarwin 0

H Butker 3, M Crosby 2, J Lambo 1

Bears 4, Browns 2, Titans 0

7 unused players at a cost of $46.

 
Set this lineup in advance & meant to come back and clean up my picks before the deadline.  Kinda glad I didn't.  Week 7 doesn't look too scary even with Ben, Brown, Connor and SeaBass out.  Hoping there are plenty of skating Connor owners who will help me out.  Be kind Turk.

Maybe the 9.7 from Freeman is a floor number for a flex.  Basically nothing good to use out of tonight for me.  Nice to see Chad Williams get targets though.

Yeah, not exactly what I was hoping for from DJ after back-to-back 200 yard rushers had gashed Denver.

 
Dropped M Williams in 1 league for him, but hesitant to drop Crabtree or Fuller for him the other.  He will be on the bench until I see some consistency, hopefully will be a difference maker.

 
Well I'll probably be using the 9.7 from Freeman at RB2 or Flex is my guess.

I wonder how many RB needy teams are alive this week that have been using Connor, myself included.  

McCaffrey, Freeman (9.7), Clement, Barber. My options this week.

Count me in that group as well....  but the harsh reality is that I have used R Freeman 3x already!

His 9.7 would not be his lowest applied contribution to my team!  (Week 5 = 6.2) 

 
I consider this to be my weakest week.  At QB, I have used Ben 4 times, and Rivers twice, with Eli being wasted $ so far.  TEN has been stingy to QB's, so Rivers does not have an easy game.  Perhaps I will be using Eli for the first time, as he has a cakewalk vs ATL.  They have given up at least 30 to QB's for 5 straight weeks .  I will know pretty early if I need Eli to produce on Monday night, because Rivers has a strange Sunday morning game.

Not off to a thunderous start at RB, with 9.70 for Royce Freeman and 8.50 for David Johnson.  Only Christian McCaffrey and Peyton Barber left, as Aaron Jones and James Conner are off.  Hopefully CMC & Barber can turn Royce and DJ's scores into flex spots.  Barber scored more points last week than he did in the first 5 weeks combined.

At WR, I will be without Lockett, who has been my most reliable.  I have no other byes, but Ginn just landed on IR.  Gallup and Ross have been disappointments.  Goodwin literally saved my bacon last week.  Godwin and John Brown have been pretty reliable for me to this point.  Cole was another value pick, but have only used him twice.  Taywan Taylor has only topped 32 yards once, so he will be totally TD dependent.  At least I should have 8 healthy options this week, so let those darts start flying.

I went cheap and deep at TE too, but my hope of getting flex scores from this position has only happened once.  Burton has been consistent, but unspectacular.  Cook is my boom guy, but is off.  Clay has yet to go over 40 yards or reach paydirt.  Of all Goedert's preseason hype, he has only had 1 useful week.  My sneaky pick of Griffin hasn't panned out, but I did get a 15 pt game from him in week 5.

At K, it looks like I will be without Sturgis again before his week 8 bye.  I will be counting on Fairbairn and Lambo for one decent score.

PIT D is off, and CHI, although a great D, has an incredibly tough matchup vs NE.  The Pats have only given up 4 pts to opposing D's in 5 straight weeks.  I think the Browns will have a better chance to be my D this week versus TB, but I expect to be in single digits no matter who I use.

I usually root for a high cutoff, but not feeling it this week.  Conner's 26.9 last week certainly boosted the cut, as he is owned by over 50%.  Fingers crossed that the line drops down into the 140's, so I can squeak past the cut into week 8.

I am in the 114 group, and also part of the 54 group with Barber, and even a member of the "lucky" 13 with McCaffrey.  Heck, I am still not completely unique when I throw in my last RB, Aaron Jones.  What are the odds that I select 6 RB's, and still aint unique after 6 weeks?  Well, since there were 15.115 entries, I guess we know the answer.

 
Well, for all those (myself included) who have R Freeman....High Ankle Sprain - "could miss time" was reported....  

Typically High Ankle Sprain can be 3-4 weeks or so, but they have 10 days to determine his status (KC next). 

With Tenn, Dallas, LAC & ATL on bye next week, there could be some issues with injuries crippling teams! 

I should be OK at RB as I have 3 out next week (1QB, 1 WR, 1 TE).

Good luck to those in need!

Rolling with just four myself this week - Barkley, Freeman (9.7), Barber, and Breida. Hoping for a BIG game from Barkley. Also thin at TE with McDonald on bye. My WRs need to step up this week or I need a really low cut line. :)
