2022 Shout Outs to Fantasy Fails (1 Viewer)

[Hot Sauce Guy]

Catharsis is always a good thing, and hey if we can’t laugh about our mistakes how can we grow from them?

Give me a shout out to a player who was a terrible pick, who’s vexed you this season.

Not injury-related, because that can hit at any time*.

I’ll start:
Shout out to the dynamic duo of Russell Wilson & Sutton. Thanks so much for that 1 double touchdown y’all gave me.




*Swift injury shout outs are the lone exception.

 

[TheWinz]

My back-to-back picks of Kyle Pitts (4.1) and Allen Robinson (5.12) haven't really panned out

Shout out to a brutal turn.

 

[foxco]

DJ More has me vexed. I'm terribly vexed.

 

[BoltNlava]

Keenan Allen as WR1.

 

[TheWinz]

DJ More has me vexed. I'm terribly vexed.

I own him in both my redrafts, and I am sticking with him, until the targets disappear.

 

[SoBeDad]

Elijah Moore and Kadarius Toney as my #2 and #3 WRs. I don't think Toney is injury related, didn't he just pass a physical in KC?

 

[zamboni]

Chase Edmonds

First (or among the very first) free agent signing with a sizable contract (for RBs) - thought he would ball out in McDaniel’s fast-paced spread offense. Not so much…

 

[zamboni]

Also thought Darnell Mooney would ascend as a target hog. Not all his fault and there are some signs of life in the passing game, but still.

 

[Leroy Hoard]

The walking corpse of Matt Stafford. What did Lily do to him?

Got him to start looking down too much.

 

[BeTheMatch]

Kyle Pitts and AJ Dillon

 

[SoBeDad]

Chase Edmonds

Plus, Edmonds has looked good as a receiver, in the one preseason game and in the regular season - when he holds on to the ball. He dropped a sure TD from Tua in the loss to CIN. His skills apparently don't fit the run blocking scheme.

He was a draft target of mine, but was taken a round before I was ready to pull the trigger. Incidentally, he was just dropped in my league and I scooped him up. He's one injury away from fantasy relevance.

I dropped him last week and surprisingly no one picked him up this past week. Regarding one injury away, he would undoubtedly get a bump if Mostert gets hurt as in the past, but given how much he’s fallen out of favor, I wouldn’t be shocked if Gaskin and/or Ahmed were also heavily involved.

 

[brun]

Waller, Allen Robinson, Stafford, Bourne
Guys I thought would be value where I could draft them so I have way too much.

 

[BobbyLayne]

Dalton Schultz (6th), Chase Edmonds (7th), & Kmet (10th) didn’t work out. Whatever - happens every year, always a few that don’t go as planned. 10 of my first 13 picks have made meaningful contributions & I’ve gotten some production off the wire.

Overall I’m pretty indifferent about players taken after the 5th round. Got a little lucky and my WR-RB-RB-WR-QB (e.g., first 5 picks) has been a good foundational core.

 

[Hot Sauce Guy]

Kyle Pitts and AJ Dillon

Ah yes. Shout out to AJ Dillon - “1B” as his coach called him. What a 5th round pick. Week 1 we all looked like geniuses.

 

[Hot Sauce Guy]

Dalton Schultz (6th),

This one’s more injury related - when Dak went down, he took Schultz with him. Rush wasn't capable of multiple reads. Then the knee injury didn’t help him.

Seems to be back to relevance now.

 

[zamboni]

Kyle Pitts and AJ Dillon

Ah yes. Shout out to AJ Dillon - “1B” as his coach called him. What a 5th round pick. Week 1 we all looked like geniuses.

To be fair, that whole offense is broken.

I’m praying he gets traded.

I think he’s pretty cheap and valuable to them, but in any case, I’m not sure any haul back would justify it.

 

[Uncle Leo]

Dionte Johnson, Jerry Jeudy, Mooney, and Yung Joka as my top 4 WR.

 

[joey]

From the 1 slot in a 12 team league, my Taylor, Deebo, Fournette, Dionte, kyler Murray start had me totally satisfied after the draft. Here I am at 2-5 in that league now. So shout out to ALL of those under achievers (sad when Fournette is the most solid of that bunch).

 

[Pip's Invitation]

Chase Edmonds

First (or among the very first) free agent signing with a sizable contract (for RBs) - thought he would ball out in McDaniel’s fast-paced spread offense. Not so much…

Ditto. I took him as my RB3 on that same assumption. Could have recovered from it if RB1 and RB2 hadn’t gotten hurt.

 

[Rubi]

Well it's my all injury backfield. First three rb's taken: D.Swift
E.Mitchell
C.Patterson
Week one they were flying high. And then...

 

[Ardbeg4ever]

Kyle Pitts and AJ Dillon

I'll match your Pitts and Dillon, and raise you with Keenan Allen as well.

 

[themeistersinger]

Case Edmonds for me. I was sitting in Round 7 trying to decide between Edmonds and Jalen Hurts. I chose ..... poorly.

Shout out to the terrible choices we make under pressure.

 

[Chaka]

*Swift injury shout outs are the lone exception.

Why? This was the most predictable injury situation in the NFL.

 

[Cowboysfan8]

DJ More has me vexed. I'm terribly vexed.

THIS

 

[Cowboysfan8]

Dionte Johnson, Jerry Jeudy, Mooney, and Yung Joka as my top 4 WR.

Wth is a young joka

 

[candian fantasy guy]

Sutton and Zeke felt like a great late 3rd early 4th turn …. Not so much!

Another vote for K Allen and AJ Dillon

 

[TampaMike19]

Very overweight on chase Edmonds, Mooney, and Allen Robinson. Luckily ARSB too but yeah it’s been the worst fantasy season in a while!

 

[menobrown]

In terms of players I was fairly high on and drafted a lot the easy winner would be Akers. I did change my opinion of him about a little over a week before the opener but the damage was done.

You’ve answered your own question.

Also it was a joke.

 

[rockaction]

Rashod Bateman as a WR2 has helped capsize two teams. He's just the icing on the cake for both.

 

[Uncle Leo]

Dionte Johnson, Jerry Jeudy, Mooney, and Yung Joka as my top 4 WR.

Wth is a young joka

Kadarius Toney’s stage name. He happens to rap when his mouth is not hurt.

 

[Ministry of Pain]

Elijah Mitchell in the 4th-5th rounds or wherever I picked him multiple times, what a waste of a pick and then even dumb enough to keep him in my IR slot until the McCaffrey trade happened.

Good thread HSG

 

[Hot Sauce Guy]

We are all very smart, and good at FF, too.

Dynasty edition:
Going into this year with Trey Lance, JT, Javonte, Lamb, Kirk… I’m now 1-6. At least in dynasty, losing is sometimes winning. Come on, 1st overall pick in 2023!
