SF is a huge upgrade.
Yes, it’s Shanahan. But he’s never had a RB of this caliber. He’s gonna be the man. There will be the occasional Juice play here or there, but that’s just how it is.
It’s gonna be fun to watch

Nope I don't trust it.
I just don't.
Best ball it's probably better cuz it'll be 40 one week and 2 the next.

Yeah realistically Wilson's $3 is already earned - expected him to get in and then get replaced by a peanut vendor Shanahan saw running up the stairs. Figured he would count a couple to few times and he has.

10 from Blankenship has me feeling like I’m playing with house money.
jeff Wilson AND mitchell owner here.
Powerful? No but pleasantly surprised with his first week
Kamara, Hopkins, taysom hill and the Az defense on my team. $50 spent for 63 points in 1 game....

I own both and was hoping the Panthers would get Wilson. Either way, Wilson was min price and worth every penny.

So, on the one hand I got a jump start on week 7 with 10 points from a ghost kicker who had been written off. But, on the other hand Elijah Mitchell and Jeff Wilson disappeared.
What kind of salary does Mitchell have? Is he close enough to playing to be traded for a bag of chips?

On Monday if someone had offered me 18 or 19 total points out of my $3 D (which is my only D this week), $3 RB (who is my 5th best RB this week according to FBG projections) and $3 kicker (who didn't have a job), I'd have been thrilled with it. 47 points from those guys? No way, right?

I have both. Stupid me for taking a SF RB, much less two.
I hope this isn't the norm with Hopkins back. I need Ertz to produce more than he did this week, especially next week, when I won't have Kelce.
Speaking of Ertz, does this competition not give points for 2-point conversions? It has Ertz listed at 5.1 points, which would be just the 2 receptions at 1.5 PPR for 21 yards.

Correct - a quirk of the contest scoring is that there are no points given for 2-point conversions.

I really didn’t think I had a realistic chance of winning this thing until Blankenship found a new job. Now I’m wildly optimistic.
He missed an extra point this week and was a fill in for a fill in for an injured PK. I wouldnt count on him holding down that job for long. I hope I am wrong for your and your fellow Blankenship owners though.I really didn’t think I had a realistic chance of winning this thing until Blankenship found a new job. Now I’m wildly optimistic.

It would be interesting to hear the conversations between FBG's on this decision. Seems like a no brainer to me but being unique is good too. The main (and really only) thing is we know the scoring system before deciding on our rosters. No complaining that way when someone realizes the quirks afterward. I especially like the half point/point/point and a half score for receptions depending on the players position.

Well my biggest waste of money wasn't on the 6 $3 dollar WRs at least 3 of them have counted for me at least once. It seems the 26 I spent on Conner may be the biggest waste what a disappointment.

I had Conner on several early iterations, but was bothered by him being so TD dependent in order to be relevant. Many games last year he hardly had any yardage, but was saved by getting lots of goal line carries. I was not confident that it would continue this year. I went with Fournette in his place.

Feel quite fortunate that the Taysom cheat code has covered my boneheaded same-bye week TE pairing of Goedert and Knox.
Hell, I feel lucky to have dodged a couple of close calls with the Turk, given the state of my RB room.
I imagine many contestants took a shot on Chase Edmonds, but $13 Nyheim Hines was an unforced error.
No Hurts this week, but Davis Mills is in a relatively favorable spot.

What did I tell you....Jacked!!!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.
Excellent pick @da_budman

Man, I guess my Elijah Mitchell/Jeff Wilson share is for naught.
There goes $21 from the RB room provided that McCaffrey remains healthy (I don't think he will in that system).
Blankenship is lollerskates as far as I'm concerned. Nailed a fifty yarder last night. Prater has a hip problem? Those don't go away overnight, especially if it's in the hip joint.
Blankenship to the moon! (And probably back to earth next week.)

To be fair, cap tip to literally every FF writer who said Ertz had a 6-week freshness date. And I believe every one of them said some variant of this.Ertz owners will be hating life if this week was any indication (ala Deandre Hopkins) of the future target distribution.What did I tell you....Jacked!!!D.Hopkins could be huge especially in best ball.

Yep, have been happy with ertz in a number of redraft leagues and this contest.
but yes, now I am definitely worried, mainly on redraft leagues, to lose earth production.

I had hopes on the $25 Javonte Williams... but that didn't pan out, but at least you may have some hope for a decent score at some point.... Us Williams owners are looking at $25 dead money at this point.

This is my biggest "$$ on bye" week... J Allen, D Cook, A Rob = $74
Thanks to ARI D and Blankenship for getting things off to a good start. If I can get one more halfway decent week out of J Wilson at RB to help me through I'd really appreciate it. And it's finally time for D Mills to step up and earn his $7 for the season... anything north of 20 I'll consider a job well done.
Still only 20% cut this week so I'm still feeling optimistic to make it through. We'll see how I feel once the game clocks start ticking...

I forgot I had the AZ D until the post above reminded me that yes, I do. 
I'll take that 18.00 points, thank you.

lolololol. (im gonna give you guys credit for sarcasm and trolling here bc theres no way youre being serious.)
yeah i mean hes pretty much dust at this point. catch and fall down. so you needed to rely on volume and tds. plus they drafted mcbride. you knew nuk was coming back. so he was a guy very very unlikely to be playing his best football in the playoffs when you need him most. for all those reasons he wasnt even remotely in play for me for this contest. and i roostered 5 TEs lol!

No player is awarded points during a 2-pt conversion. Also, no player gets negative points for a lost fumble.
