Back again with some stats on defenses

- The average weekly score for a D is 5.45 points
- All of the $5 D's are below the 5.45 average
- BUF and DAL are tied for the lead at 8.29 PPG
- ATL is the worst D so far, with a mere 3.14 PPG
- The best $7 spent would be the CHI, DAL, and TEN trio at 11.75 PPG
- Of the 371 possible trios of D's to add up to $7 ($3 + $2 + $2), only the combos of CLE, ATL, JAC and CLE, ATL, NYJ have underscored PIT ($7).  Yes, I am saying multiple cheap D's is always the way to go.

And now, for a fun trivia question - which team has given up the most points to opposing D's in this contest?  The team has surrendered 66 points in 8 games so far, 9 more than the next worst.

Haven't posted in here in quite a while.  Wow, that 10% stat is very different from past years I believe.  I'm still alive and outside of week 6 been advancing pretty easily.  Brady and AB on bye are probably my main concerns this week.  Have to rely on Hurts at QB this week, so a big question mark there.  I'm pretty set at RB when compared to others I believe(Kamara and Najee).  Could really use some production from Allen Robinson at the WR position.  At TE, the Ertz trade a few weeks back might help if Pitts keeps getting everyone's CB1 with Ridley gone now.  PKs:  everyone still has a job so that's good.  Defenses- 3 cheap ones  seems to be the best choice these days.

 
Last week it was a Davante missing a game due to Covid and this week it will be Aaron Rodgers. 

I need Stafford not to lay an egg here.

 
Week 9 kicking off with:

QB
Carson Wentz ($11) - 1.0% owned - 32.9
Zach Wilson ($8) - 9.8% owned - OUT
Wentz was the only active contest QB tonight.  Considering there were 32 QB options more common from the start, his decent points really only matter to the few who have him.

RB
Jonathan Taylor ($31) - 3.2% owned - 33.0
Nyheim Hines ($11) - 3.3% owned - 18.8
Michael Carter ($14) - 1.8% owned - 9.1
LaMical Perine ($4) - 0.2% owned - 0
Marlon Mack ($3) - 2.7% owned - OUT
Tevin Coleman ($9) - 2.5% owned - OUT
Monster score from JT, and great score from Hines, who looked awesome.  Poor Carter was forgotten about as the game went on.  Hines was the most common RB tonight, but behind 34 other contest RB's.

WR
Elijah Moore ($9) - 7.1% owned - 27.4
Michael Pittman ($9) - 21.7% owned - 17.4
Keelan Cole ($5) - 0.3% owned - 11.6
Zach Pascal ($4) - 2.1% owned - 9.8
Jamison Crowder ($4) - 3.8% owned - 8.8
Denzel Mims ($5) - 0.5% owned - 3.0
Corey Davis ($10) - 17.7% owned - OUT
Parris Campbell ($6) - 3.3% owned - OUT
T.Y. Hilton ($10) - 0.6% owned - OUT
Elijah was WR85 before tonight's blowup game, while Pittman continues to be one of the best value picks of the contest.  Each team's most expensive contest WR sat out.

TE
Jack Doyle ($4) - 1.7% owned - 7.6
Mo Alie-Cox ($5) - 1.4% owned - 4.3
Both active TE's were pretty rare and neither made a splash.

K
Mike Badgley ($3) - 2.0% owned - 9.9
Rodrigo Blankenship ($4) - 11.7% owned - OUT
Poor Badgley could've had more the way IND was moving the ball.  Rodrigo was the 5th most common K, and I am sure a few will be eliminated because of his absence.

D
Indianapolis Colts ($4) - 5.8% owned - 6.0
New York Jets ($2) - 2.8% owned - 1.0
Nothing special to see here.

 
Done at 137.5. Once again, I think that's enough to squeak by another week.
Looking like it as scoring seems down this week. I am sitting at 134 with all of Roethlisberger to go tonight. 

I'm thinking the cut is going to hover around 100ish presently, @kyter1 you got anymore of them updates...lol! 

 
180.00 with Mooney left (-11.50)

survived without Robinson and Gibson. Nice getting Kittle back  :thumbup:

Pretty healthy heading into week 10, which is pretty much all you can ask for 

 
Stafford & Henderson crapping the bed didn’t help. Chubb & some of my other players had big games, but I might need a good night from Harris & (gulp) Big Ben to make the cut. 

I’ll find out tomorrow I guess. :shrug:  

 
Bad week - I’m at 115.8 with Najee Harris and Diontae Johnson left (-9.6 and -9.1). Cut currently at 108ish so I need a big game from one of them.

 
Looks like my hopes and dreams are down to David Montgomery. Fingers are crossed he plays tonight. 

I am at 107.5 and need him to come through for me. 

 
I came into week 9 with:

  1. only Darnold at QB - ouch only 6.5 from QB
  2. lost Henry and James Robinson out, so solo with Stevenson and Ingram - wow posted 33.0
  3. still have A Robinson -11.5 but got 51.3 from K Allen, Pittman and Callaway
  4. got two double digit scores from Andrews and Arnold, left 10.9 from Hunter Henry on the bench
  5. nice 13.5 from McManus and 11.0 from Cardinals DST
  6. total 130.0 (says 126.7 on the excel file?) so hopeful

I’m showing 108.2 on excel file am I looking in wrong spot?

 
Week 9 scores are posted and 120.05 was the cutline, surprising it was that high given all the low scores this week. I was honestly expecting it to be lower than week 7's 116.45, but I digress. 

Finished with 156 this week so on to week 10! 

 
Close one this week - 125. Losing Aaron Rodgers for the week left me with Matt Stafford he had a dud by his standards. And Davante Adams isn’t the same without Rodgers so he put up a clunker. Just happy to advance.

 
I think my downfall will be investing in the Patriots offense - I figured the prices were perfect. I have the following Patriots (also took Michel when he was a patriot)

RB: Damien Harris/Rhamondre Stevenson

WR: Jakobi Meyers/Nelson Agholor

TE: Hunter Henry/Jonnu Smith

The prices made me think I would get a good scorer out of each position every week. Meyers and Agholor have been complete duds. And Jonnu has vanished.

 
Week 9 was my second closest week, I posted only 6.65 over the cut. My closest week was week 1 when I was only 3.15 over.
Hold my Beer...lol!

Week 4 - I scored 143.70....The Cut was 143.35.....I was having to sweet talk and bribe the Turk that week as I thought I was done for sure!

Wow - Mooney saved my bacon with his late heroics last night. I made the cut 165 over the 120 line. Kinda surprised the cut line was so low this week. 2nd lowest of the season. 

Whew! 

I can't believe I've held on for 9 weeks. First week Roethlisburger (22.5) beat out Stafford (20), but my Browns D/ST (17) and Mooney (20.6) came through for me bigtime. 

This week is going to be tough if Chubb is out (COVID) but hopefully Robinson comes back strong & Pitts bounces back after a couple of mediocre starts.  Stafford, Henderson & Woods have a nice matchup against the Niners woeful secondary this week on MNF, too, so hopefully they don't all let me down again. 

Congrats to everyone who made it to week #10 - go us! :pickle:  

ETA: I just saw I was 62nd overall this week, which I believe is my best showing yet. Not my highest scoring week  (that was 174 in week 4) but I still feel like I have a 200+ game on my roster - if they can all get on the damn field at the same time at least!  Gah. Hopefully they're saving that for the home stretch. ;)

My attempt at the least expensive team that would still be alive...

QB's - Teddy Bridgewater ($5), Davis Mills ($3)
Only reason for Mills was to make the cut week 5, but also used him weeks 3 & 8.

RB's - Chuba Hubbard ($5), Cordarelle Patterson ($4), Mark Ingram ($3), Rhamondre Stevenson ($3)
Patterson is hands down the steal of this contest.  Only player used all weeks except for his bye.

WR's - Deebo Samuel ($13), Michael Pittman ($9), Christian Kirk ($7), AJ Green ($5)
Pittman was the first WR that came to mind.  Didn't expect to pay double digits, but Deebo was a steal.

TE's - Dawson Knox ($6), Dalton Schultz ($4)
Dalton has kept up with some of the most expensive, and Dawson, though hurt the last few games, had a great 5 weeks to start the year.

PK's - Nick Folk ($3), Graham Gano ($3), Brandon McManus ($3), Randy Bullock ($2)
Only added Gano to make the cut in week 2, but used in weeks 7 & 9 as well.

D's - Arizona Cardinals ($3), Dallas Cowboys ($2)
Week 3 was the main reason for ARI, but used a few more times.

Weekly scores would be:
Week 1 - 160.2 (cut was 151.2)
Week 2 - 154.3 (cut was 150.15)
Week 3 - 164.6 (cut was 156.3)
Week 4 - 181.55 (cut was 143.35)
Week 5 - 178.3 (cut was 178.2)
Week 6 - 152.3 (cut was 146.35)
Week 7 - 130.05 (cut was 116.45)
Week 8 - 151.8 (cut was 131.15)
Week 9 - 142.8 (cut was 120.05)

Total spent was $83.  That was fun.

 
161 points this week for my "what could have been if not for Week 4" score. Don't know whether to be pleased that my picks have done so well or just frustrated that they don't count.

 
somehow still alive with only three RBs left (Harris and Stevenson of NE and Robinson in Jax... i guess Sermon counts so four)

not enough smoke and mirrors to be optimistic but it's fun to follow

This team would've died in week 7, missing the cut by 0.05.  I decided to post this to show those still alive how well they selected their teams.  This dead team has 262 players at a total cost of $2669.

Enjoy!

 
161 points this week for my "what could have been if not for Week 4" score. Don't know whether to be pleased that my picks have done so well or just frustrated that they don't count.
Pleased at your solid see selections, very difficult contest to conquer..

 
For anyone still in the contest, please post a link to your team so we can all follow along and root for you.  We really need a regular poster to win this thing.

Stay tuned for more rants on wasting money on expensive K's and D's...

Here's my squad. I just tried to make my floor as solid as possible, so I built around PPR machine WRs and cheap RBs. Figured that it'll be an injury riddled crapshoot at the end so the important thing was just to stay alive.

Here's mine: https://footballguys.com/contests/subscribers/2021/entry/101065

MVP for me by position have been T. Brady, N. Harris, C. Kupp, M. Gesicki (although he put up a goose egg on Thursday), and the DAL D.  No MVP kickers as I've basically used them all.

Week 11 still going to be the biggest problem for me with Kupp and Jeudy on bye and C. Ridley unavailable.
