Looking probable that I’ll need to head into week 3 with only 1 RB active again… unless Ekeler bounces back quickly. But who knows, maybe they hold him out through the week 5 bye. At least I’ll have Kamara back in week 4.

Also need Burrow to get back to himself and start hitting Chase with some deep balls.

13 of 19 players have counted for me after two weeks, yet to appear are Kamara, Michael Wilson, Jake Ferguson, and Carlson/Santos/Texans…. pretty decent hit rate.

 

[Puppies]

For anyone who cares… Ownership numbers for Thursday night…

Good luck to everyone in week 3...

New York Giants
Jones – 630
Barclay – 316 ==(OUT)==
Gainwell – 1208
Breida – 71
Slayton – 282
Hodgins – 426
Campbell – 445
W. Robinson – 149
Waller – 3210
Gano – 652
Giants DST – 279

San Francisco 49ers
Purdy – 620
McCaffrey – 801
Micthell – 241
Deebo – 387
Aiyuk – 1007 ==(OUT)==
J. Jennings – 40
Kittle – 107
McLaughlin – 43
49ers DST – 886

Like other Chubb owners, it's all but certain that I'm not going anywhere this year.
I still have Joe Mixon, James Cook, Raheem Mostert, and (wasted $7 Ezekiel Elliott) for RBs, but losing your top RB is too much to overcome in this contest.
And Aiyuk is also banged up and questionable for tonight....

Continued good luck to everyone who has (so far) avoided the injury bug.

 

[Hurl Bruce]

Lost JK week 1 and Chubb week 2.

I apologize to those who have Raheem Mostert on their rosters.

 

[TheWinz]

My unused players after 2 weeks are:
RB - Javonte Williams, Alvin Kamara, Ezekiel Elliott = $41
WR - Van Jefferson, Parris Campbell = $12
TE - Noah Gray = $3
K - Anders Carlson, Cairo Santos = $6
D - HOU = $3 (technically, they tied DET in week 1)

Cuts have been 122 & 134 thus far, and I've scored 152 both weeks. Last season's week 3 cut was 133 (not that it means anything).

So, pretty much, the only players worth anything were Purdy, CMC, Deebo, Kittle, and both kickers. Everyone else stunk it up.

and ownership on Deebo and Kittle is really low....

 

[Mister CIA]

Interesting strategy from the current week 3 leader - nothing but Cowboys and 49ers, for exactly $250.

I was actually feeling decent about my team 2 weeks in. Then I lost Chubb. Dead man walking. I’ll last a bit longer, but have no shot at the finals. Good luck all.

They are refering to a chart I posted yesterday, showing their scores for week 1, week 2, and the total, and average. I added those people to the list and they will appear on it in the future, as long as the teams survive. If you'd like to be added to the list, give me your team name if it's different than your screen name, and I'll add you.

Probably not a good thing to have my top two QBs out this week. Try and scrape by I guess.

 

[PIK95]

I'm entry number 107632 (prison?) With a 170.90 week one score, and a 197.70 for week two (368.60 total) I'll probably get knocked out this week.

 

[TheWinz]

Looking probable that I’ll need to head into week 3 with only 1 RB active again… unless Ekeler bounces back quickly. But who knows, maybe they hold him out through the week 5 bye. At least I’ll have Kamara back in week 4.

Also need Burrow to get back to himself and start hitting Chase with some deep balls.

13 of 19 players have counted for me after two weeks, yet to appear are Kamara, Michael Wilson, Jake Ferguson, and Carlson/Santos/Texans…. pretty decent hit rate.

That took nards to roster only 1 QB and 3 RB's, with one of the RB's guaranteed to miss the first 3 weeks.

 

[Don Quixote]

My two QBs are ARich and Howell. ARich may outscore Howell this week. (Also out Ekeler, so pretty sure I’ll be out after this one, but will see.)

May just save me. I haven't checked today, but my WR's were bad I think.

Actually 166 with Swift and Puka still to go. I think I am safe. Right?

 

[a_troll00]

Currently, my squad is looking to finish in the 140s. It has been by no means a pretty day, but enough to move forward. Overall, a pretty good day for my RBs, and absolute trash for my WRs.

 

[dbc925]

No superstar performers today (maybe LaPorta) but feeling pretty good about getting through. Up 60, and I still get to count Mixon, Conner, Warren, Gainwell and Puka. I get the best two of those -8 and -0.
