Accurate enough to say...congrats on advancing to week 10.Sooooooooooooooooo Just how accurate is calcomatic? Im sitting at 149.95 and it says the cutoff is 149.3 ......Im sweating big time.
I think we all feel “The Sky is Falling” anxiety of this contest...that is why we enjoy it so much!Moving on to week 10!! Wow...I'm a little shocked as this is my first year and there is obviously some pretty talented folk left. This "The sky is falling" trick is working so with that being said, I'm really not liking my chances for next week. I'm just happy I advanced this far.
?
Made the cut, stayed around 3 points above the cut with Gallup giving me just enough. I think this is the first time I've made it to a double digit week.Don Quixote said:About 3 points above the cut with Gallup and Taywan Taylor tonight, at -5 and -5.20 for the two spots. Going to be tight. Mixon bye and Freeman out hurt me.
My lowest week so far at 161.90, but onward we go. Congrats to all who made it to week 10. Will be rolling with:
QB - Ben, Rivers, Eli
RB - DJ, CMC, Conner, Aaron Jones, Barber, (Freeman on bye)
WR - Goodwin, Lockett, Cole, Godwin, Gallup, Ross, Taywan Taylor (Brown on bye, Ginn on IR)
TE - Burton, Cook, Goedert (Clay hurt, Griffin on bye)
K - Lambo (Fairbairn on bye, Sturgis waived)
D - CHI, PIT, CLE
Nice to hear you guys advance, along with QG. Sorry to hear about jdoggydogg, though.If someone had told me a month ago that my highest scoring WRs this week would be Gallup with 3 catches and Jaron Brown with 1, I'd have thought I'd be waving goodbye. Luckily, my RBs and TEs continue to carry me. On to Week 10.

They may stink but if you are still alive, that counts for something!But my QBs stink: J. Winston, J. Flacco, A. Smith
You've probably heard that a rising tide lifts all ships, well a dropping tide lowers all ships. The cutline is going to fluctuate more based on these players performances then other players. It's like being in a herd of antelope in Africa. You don't have to be the fastest antelope, you just need to blend into the herd and not be the slowest. In this case the slowest is usually the ones with significant injuries or bye week issues.What I have in common with the most owned players by position.
The interesting thing is how many
I've only used Darnold once and never used Dalton.
Freeman was used 3 times early (although the scores were not impressive)
Ross had one good week and 5 0s.
Cole had 1 great week, 4 weeks between 8 and 12, and 3 under 5.
Which means that, other than a week here or there, all of those players are dead weight on the teams that picked them. $37 for 1 FLEX score above 20, and 2 QB scores above 30 through 9 weeks.
So are these players heavily on teams that remain because there was a methodology that caused them to be targeted that has proven to be the best (at least for this year)? If so... What exactly is that strategy?

It was crazy. Like 10 minutes left in the first quarter and it was at 9. ?
The cutline will be whatever Conner scores, because he is owned by 1756 and the cut is down to 1600.It was crazy. Like 10 minutes left in the first quarter and it was at 9. ?
Ben + McCaffrey+Conner+Juju= 116.5Off to a good start.... McCaffrey + Conner + Steelers D = 63.1
Hoping I don't have to use Conner's score this week.TheWinz said:The cutline will be whatever Conner scores, because he is owned by 1756 and the cut is down to 1600.
Truer words never spoken. The cutline is indeed at 13.8. And only 181 people are below it at the moment.TheWinz said:The cutline will be whatever Conner scores, because he is owned by 1756 and the cut is down to 1600.
There are 146 of those.So it looks like teams that didn’t have a piece of TNF will likely be booted this week. Fortunately I had CMC but I’m no lock to advance.
I’ve got the same group of 4. 32nd place after TNF.TheWinz said:Ben + CMC + Conner + Steelers D = 112.2
Or, maybe not, as Dez has the shortest comeback season in history: http://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/25227627/new-orleans-saints-fear-dez-bryant-tore-achilles-tendon-practiceSurprisingly, 4 teams still alive have welcomed Dez Bryant from their dead money list. 117 other teams are wondering where he was when they needed him.
me too. with several byes I may have to. at least cmc gives me a fighting chance.Hoping I don't have to use Conner's score this week.
It’s one game.So it looks like teams that didn’t have a piece of TNF will likely be booted this week. Fortunately I had CMC but I’m no lock to advance.
