Obviously an error. 3.95 pts for any QB being paid by an NFL team isn't remotely possible.

My bad... I didn't realize you were joking when you posted that.
Edit: Plus, looking back, you would need Carr plus about 20 additional points to make the cut...

Bye week information:
Chase Edmonds 11 >>> 9 (moved up to this week)
Nyheim Hines 14 >>> 7 (skipped, lucky ducks)
Zack Moss 7 >>> 14 (moved back to the final week YUCK)
Chase Claypool 9 >>> 14 (moved back to the final week YUCK)
TJ Hockenson 6 >>> 7 (no effective change)
Zack Moss owners with a double bye week whammy due to trades, but he isn't doing much for a team anyways. However, every last possible point is important in Week 14!

I'm hoping the side benefits of the trades had a net plus for my team:
1. Hockenson to Minn probably doesn't hurt his value and might improve it if he becomes a viable RZ target. The side benefit should be a bump in targets for Amon-Ra. Since I have both, I see it as a potential win-win.
2. With Claypool gone, the side benefit should mean a few more targets for Pickens, which I could really use to make up for Sutton's total flop.

TJ Hockenson is TE1 on my roster, I'm hoping for some touchdowns.

When the roosters locked, I thought I was in great shape with Goedert, Hockenson and Schultz at TE. While they certainly haven't produced like I hoped, I'm cautiously optimistic that TJ and Schultz might now come alive for the stretch drive.

The good news on the traded players moving back to bye week 14 (for owners who do not have those players) is a tendency for the week 14 cut line to be slightly lower due to more potentially good players being on bye in a week that already has 6 NFL teams idle.
Personally, I'm hoping for a bump from Amon-Ra, and possibly Pickens due to the potential for more targets after the trades. With Ja'Marr Chase injured, I'm also hoping for a little more from Hayden Hurst. But like others who have commented, I'm disapponted with Sutton the last 3 weeks after a respectable start the first 5 weeks.

Continuing to lurk to not arouse the Turk's suspicion. Condolences to all the great contributors to fell victim this past week.
Was quite surprised I ended up inside the top 1000 (774) with 168.10. With the cut line in week 9 leaving less than 1800 teams it is getting dicey!

Squeaked by last week but I feel my luck will run out soon. I'm just very grateful to still be alive at this point:
This weeK: Bolded represents at least a chance to count this week.
QB: Cousins and Carr -
RB: Pierce, Mostert, J. WIlson, Zamir, Javonte, Dobbins
WR: St. Brown, Doubs, Lazard, Marvin Jones, Pickens, E. Moore, D. Parker, Chark, Cobb.
TE: Andrews, Goedert, Engram -
K: Zeurline, Hot Rod -
Def: Vikings, Panthers, Titans
Looking grim with only 9 RB/WR/TEs with a reasonable chance to matter. 7 of those 9 must score well and it's possible that Lazard and Andrews don't play so I could be looking at needing to count every healthy non horrible (looking at you E. Moore) player to count. No room for error at kicker either with only 1 on a roster.
Despite only having 1 player on bye (Pickens) and a 25 player roster, I'm still barely scraping bye. Next year I'm going to focus on picking players that won't get hurt and aren't horrible
Good luck everyone this week! I think the cut line will be in the 130's again due to the number of byes and number of injuries to significant players.

I also narrowly escaped the Turk last week (<5 points!!!) but that was arguably my scariest week for byes with my KC guys out, so here's hoping things are looking up!
Expected starters bolded, with an average putting me right at 140 this week. Hoping that Mattison vultures a TD or something so I don't have to rely on one of Davis, Renfrow, or Watkins showing up if my other two WRs fall flat. Maybe we can get another ridiculous game out of Mo Alie-Cox??

RB: Etienne, Hall, Sanders, Pierce, Mattison
WR: Sutton, Mooney, Renfrow, Smith-Schuster, Corey Davis, Watkins
TE: Kelce, Ertz, Alie-Cox

DEF: WAS, CHI, SEA

Looks like Pierce IS the cut line. Nearly 700 entries have exactly the same number of points that he scored. He's on 75% of the teams still alive, so not having him immediately puts you in a hole in a week when 30% get cut.
There was a lot of discussion here earlier about the risk/reward of not having the "everyone has him" guy and this is where it shows. The 25% who don't have him can only be thankful Houston couldn't find a way to get him into the endzone.

I like the "most likely scorers" style of posts. Bold will be the likely position starters, italics my most likely FLEX pool. Strikethrough are out on bye/expected to sit/injured since before Week 1. 
I must always rely on my QB platoon instead of an individual breakout. I really thought there to be a chance for a Baker Revival, alas. Davis Mills and Trevor Lawrence have been good for at least 13 every week, usually 20ish. Eat your heart out Derek Carr!

This will be the scariest week for me with my rock in the backfield on Bye. Nick Chubb will be missed this week, not a great time for CEH to be facing demotion. Hope he still grabs a few receiving points. Pierce made a good start to try and fill in the gaps last night, but that's looking like a RB score that I'd rather be using as a FLEX. Would be a wonderful week for the Brian Robinson circus to finally come to town.

I was hoping to get a bit more out of Sanders and Pierce last night, though I guess Pierce doesn't matter that much since everyone has him, lol. Goedert had a really big game, I don't know how many people have him, But I expect he is pretty widely owned, so I hope my TEs can keep up with that.

I'm going to track my ghost entry for a while because I still like my team / roster construction this year... at least until I'm double-eliminated. Everyone's healthy, most of my big $$ guys are meeting/exceeding expecatations, etc.
Looking back on week 8 the two main pain points that led to narrowly getting the boot were (1) low flex score of 6.5 from Zay Jones... (2) low kicker score of the season with 5.0 points (both Bullock and Zuerlein, with the obligatory goose egg from Blankenship).
I could have dropped the dart throws at Moss or Watkins for a 4th kicker and probably been better off and survived. Neither of those guys panned out at all.
My biggest busts though were really the WR picks of A Robinson and H Renfrow, both of whom counted for my score 3 of 8 weeks, but not the kind of return you want for $20 and $15 respectively. WR is often a weak point for me in this contest... though I've gotten better at it over the years. Sun God was a good mid-range $$ pick (performance only hampered by unpredictable injury), and Palmer, Pickens, Zay all good value picks. I thought I had enough depth here to get by without a "stud" at the position... which would have been true if it not for Robinson and Renfrow's double-fizzle. I did consider gambling on Hopkins instead of Renfrow at one point near the end of roster construction... but of course hindsight is 20/20.
I really thought the presence of Adams would open things up for Renfrow and give him a reasonably high floor mirroring something close to last year's performance. Obviously thought similar things with Kupp (and Stafford) opening up big opportunities for Robinson's talent. Oh well.

Sun God was a good mid-range $$ pick (performance only hampered by unpredictable injury), and Palmer, Pickens, Zay all good value picks. I thought I had enough depth here to get by without a "stud" at the position... which would have been true if it not for Robinson and Renfrow's double-fizzle. I did consider gambling on Hopkins instead of Renfrow at one point near the end of roster construction... but of course hindsight is 20/20.
I really thought the presence of Adams would open things up for Renfrow and give him a reasonably high floor mirroring something close to last year's performance. Obviously thought similar things with Kupp (and Stafford) opening up big opportunities for Robinson's talent. Oh well.

All good points.
I was expecting Adams and Renfro to lift Carr. I didn’t roster either WR, but did roster Carr, thinking those guys would boost him.

@QuizGuy66 @apalmer , where do you guys get your FBG projections? I've searched the site but don't find them. Are they based on Subscriber Contest scoring rules? TIA
