Now that I escaped last week, a look back and forward.
QB - Brady is the key to future progress, but at least Z, Wilson has returned. Brady used 10 weeks, Darnold two and Z. Wilson has not yet helped us.
RB - Derrick Henry was the heart and soul, but is gone and the cheap depth has really come through. Henry eight weeks, James Robinson 7 weeks, Edwards 0, Stevenson 3 weeks, Breida two weeks (2 of last three), Gallman 0, and Ingram five weeks.
WR - K. Allen has been awesome, Pittman also, but he's slipping down the stretch. A. Robinson, Callaway and Bryan Edwards not yet worth the investment. Allen eight weeks, eight weeks, Callaway five, Shenault four, Hardman four, Edwards four, MVS three, and A. Robinson two.
TE - Andrews steady and Henry has scored lots of TDs. Andrews ten weeks, Henry five, J. Smith four, and Arnold two.
PK - Nice combo of Carlson and McManus, wasted money on Lambo. Carlson seven weeks and McManus five.
DST - Cowboys six weeks, Cardinals four and Panthers two.
One wish and I am certain most have this same wish, but with all the cash I dropped on the four $3 RBs, I wish that I had considered C. Patterson for $4.
As steady as Brady has been, Darnold helped me survive in week 4, when Brady only scored 13.75 and even though I used his 6.5 on Brady's week 9 bye, I would have snuck by without his score.
Next week I have Darnold, the Panthers DST and Henry on bye, but with the two position players injured, only the Panthers will be missed, so I am reasonably hopeful of escaping the final cut and making the finals.
I do have Stephenson, Henry, J Smith and Pittman on bye on the first week of the finals, so that is not good.
