With my running back stable I regard Robinson's 12 points as a monster score.
I have missed several pages of this thread this season due to life busyness and possibly being in a guillotine league that takes a lot more week to week focus than normal leagues, but is anyone tracking the message board posters vying for Joe’s Electra prize?

If your team is not listed and you would like it to be, tell me your team name. I will EDIT this list (where it sits) and add your team. I will occasionally repost the list to keep it close by. Thanks ! I believe I've now added everyone who asked. Let me know if I missed anyone...
* For others like me, who had no players active last night (my only guy is Dotson, who is out injured) the good news is there were no big scores and the game did not establish a cut line. We all need to hope the cut line stays low this week with people on bye week and the cut percentage increasing to 20%.
* Statistical Fact: With "apalmer" smoking the rest of us and the next closest team (Dacommish) by 5.42 points.. Dacommish would have to outscore him by 6 times the difference in week 6 (32.52 points) in order to catch him. The good news is none of this matters,
and every team that is still alive has a chance to make the playoffs.
Good Luck to everyone in week 6 !

You are 1 of 29 remaining teams still in it for Joe's extra $100. We lost 10 teams in the first 5 weeks.

Yeah, a couple of years ago I averaged almost 200 points per week for the first 7 or 8 weeks...and then scored in the 120's and got eliminated. Past performance is not an indicator of future success.

Hey I'm in great company with @TheWinz .More from the Statistical Trivia Dept.... . Just for fun LIST UPDATED 10/14/22 @ 11:06am
We now have 24 teams attending the party. Below are our average scores per week. Please bear in mind that there are no real leaders and we are all exactly equal no mater what our scores are. Points only count if you make it beyond week 14. The object of this game is not to score the most points, but rather to survive past week 14.

Speaking of Joe's $100, don't forget about the additional $100 offered for the 150-word write-up on contest strategy. It was the same offer - an extra $100 if you finish in the top 250. Here is a link to that article - https://www.footballguys.com/article/2022-subscriber-contest-strategy

Don’t cry for me @QuizGuy66 - I’m still alive and well in the contest, and my very lean rooster continues to perform well, and across the board.
Stevenson gets a bump this week, and I’m hopeful AJ Dillon starts to get more involved. That one’s a head-scratcher. Not only has he not been a “1B” as his usage was predicted, he’s not even replicating his production from last year.
A Bateman return would be nice as well.
And a job for my kicker. Ah, Rodrigo, I trusted you with my heart.

I would like to join the party if for no other reason than to bring the average score down and make everyone else look better. Regardless, I have somehow stayed alive with no kickers and wasting lots of $ on Zeke and ARob. My team name is the Mongol Horde. Thanks!
I always "enjoyed" your avatar - where did it go?

I am one of the guys who risked the dead money waiting for Robinson to get back. Ive got even more of that dead money sunk into Deandre Hopkins who is off suspension after this week. I ALMOST got cut week 1 and week 2 ....since then my team has gotten stronger and stronger. With those 2 back theoretically it means I should have an advantage over teams that didnt take that risk.........(which means this will probably be the week the turk comes for me if for no9 other reason...Karma....
Wow, you are braver than me! I've stashed Deandre Hopkins in a few of my regular leagues, but I didn't even consider him in this contest. Well done!

Two separate bonuses: one for posting your lineup by the deadline, and one for giving advice in the thread that was then used in the FBG article on succeeding in the contest. Some of us qualify for both, but it looks like you're still alive for the advice article.

D.Hopkins could be huge especially in best ball. Cards are running more plays on offense than anyone. Plus he got suspended for performance enhancing so we can assume he will show up jacked.

I’m right there with you on Stevenson and Dillon. What they do this weekend may very well determine whether I'm posting next week as a survivor, or as an outsider looking in. I am missing a total of 6 players due to injuries / byes / and Blankenship.Don’t cry for me @QuizGuy66 - I’m still alive and well in the contest, and my very lean rooster continues to perform well, and across the board.

What concerns me with Stevenson is it originally sounded like Damien Harris was going to miss a week and likely more, but he has partially practiced the last couple days and is only listed as questionable. That may be sand bagging, but who knows? I'd love to see Stevenson repeat last week's yardage and possibly add a TD to boot. I might need it to survive.
Dillon had a decent week 1, and from what I read, Aaron Jones was complaining about not getting his fair share of snaps. From week 2 onward, Dillon hasn't gotten squat. Like you, I have to hope that changes, and SOON.
It will be interesting to see where the cut line goes with 20% of the teams getting whacked this weekend.

Who else besides me is biting their nails so far in the 1pm games? My guys are not getting squat so far. I need several players to break out in the 2nd half. Almost all my players are playing in the early games. Almost nobody left to bail me out this evening if they don’t .

After 1pm....still a lot of guys who should count but I will need them to do stuff 
91.70 + (Allen - 0.00) + (Sutton/Hollywood/JuJu/Palmer/Shenault - 5.30/5.80/6.60/9.60) + (Higbee - 5.30/6.60/12.40) + (Cardinals - 12.00)
That MoneyMac field goal and 12 from the Vikings might prove clutch. Hopefully Saquon doing the smart thing doesn't hurt.

Yea things are pretty slow and low this week, I'll take it only having 119 after 1PM games!
Puppies

I'm mildly relieved that the cut line is only 73.30 after the 1pm games. I was hoping for it to be below 90, and the further the better. At half time of 1pm games, I had only about 40 points.
I'm sitting at 129.35 after the early games, but with ONLY 4 players and the Arizona Defense left to play. I have 6 players that put up 7 points or less so far. If not for Tonyan finally putting up a decent score today, and the late 2nd TD by Stevenson, I'd likely be in danger of being eliminated. My low flex right now is only 7.20 so hopefully I can at least get in the 140's this week, which I hope would be safe.

Looking good now that the scores of Josh Allen and Travis Kelce are reflected in the totals. "Extremely Unofficial" is 148.25 and I'll add
