Another stinker from Dotson, plus No ARSB or Herbert today means I’m relying on a core of Bijan, Pollard, Zay, Sky, Waller and an ugly Pickett-Pickens-Warren triple stack against Baltimore … not likely to finish above the cut unless I get a DJ Moore-like performance from someone 🤷‍♂️

Good luck to all!
There are no teams with Bijan, Pollard, Zay, Skyy, and Waller, alive or dead.

🤷‍♂️
ahhhh, I was looking for Zay Jones, not Zay Flowers :-)
 
Khalil out multiple weeks after finally getting going - first real blow to my rooster :sadbanana:

-QG
Me too. Without Khalil, and with Gibbs likely out, he's still my RB1 this week. Unless my RB2, Deuce Vaughn, goes wild. Not holding my breath.
Gotta be happy with 60 points from your Sam Howell/Logan Thomas connection
Yes, that at least gets me off to a good start to be able to punt RB for the week.
 
Ugh so mid-1pm games I am at around 68 points...gonna be a very big sweat even though I have some big players yet to go (Burrow/Chase/Nacua/McCaffrey). Supporting players have not come through so far.

:scared:

You've seen the numbers from Burrow and Chase so far, right?

Got some garbage time points from Waller and Pickett got his head out of his butt late but still only around 95.

141.35 after the early games with Lamb, Moore, Ferguson (-6), and Love (-24.85) to go.

(edit) actually, still have a flex slot open! out of those three, one at -0, the other at =6. Should be moving on.

This may be the first week I use Lawrence.

On pace for 80 or so
 
I'm at 125 after the first games. Not as much of a cushion as I was hoping for after my Goff/LaPorta combo went off... I've only had 1 WR play so far tho, so plenty of opportunity to increase my score.

Sweating the Turk this week .... :crying:

Most of my players played early and most had very low scores. I'm sitting on only 114.10 after 1pm games, with not many chances to increase my score.

I was hoping Mahomes Mixon would bail me out, but at the rate Mahomes he has played through the first half, he might not even outscore Kenny PIckett.
And with Kelce getting hurt, who knows that Mahomes will be able to do in the 2nd half. Mixon has not done anything either, so far...

My only consolation might be how low the cut line is at this point - I expected it to be higher. But even with that, I probalby need to add about 20 points to even have a chance this week.

Fingers are crossed. Looks like I need to pull a rabbit out of the hat to survive this week.

@QuizGuy66 ... I feel your pain. We appear to be in the same boat right now.
 
Sitting at 108 after early games
Thank you A. Thielen and C. Santos. Also Carr finally showed up

Only have three players left who can score points:

T. Pollard and K. Williams -3.6 and -5.8 ( J. Warren my highest scoring RB so far :lol: )

J. Ferguson -8.8

Still sweating the Turk this week.

I think you probably need about 6 points. I think Mixon is probably good for that.

And at quizguy was around 70 before counting Burrow, Chase, Puka, and CMac. He's probably at 135 plus CMac. He's pain free.

It's probably going to be close if I don't get any more points.
Remaining players are : Mixon - 5.8, Mahomes - 16.6, Aiyuk - 6.6, and Musgrave - 8.8,
and (V. Jefferson and M. Wilson - 8.3) but both of those guys have donuts right now and I doubt either will get anything, much less 8.3+.

The TD from Mahomes just now and 10.6 from Mixon brings me to 127 , and that really helps. I suspect the cut line will be north of 130 somehwere.

Z Leg is finally going to score for me. 5/5 on FGs with an XP.

If Zach Wilson keeps up the B- performances I might get some production from Garrett Wilson and Conklin.

Chillin around 185.
 
6-man effort this week gets me through.
176.85 + (McCaffrey - 2.90) + (Doubs/Musgrave - 6.00/8.30)

Big guns Burrow and Chase and Waller finally step up but need better efforts from the support guys with more byes coming up. Good luck to those sweating The Turk.

Hey, weren't you the sweating guy a few hours ago?
 
Sitting at 163.3, only 40.85 above the cut. Only players left are TE's Ferguson & Musgrave and K Anders Carlson. I'm sweating!
 
Will move on comfortably. Also, no new injuries. Hopefully ETN is on the right track & continues to produce. Seems like someone steps up every week as needed.

Edit - No new injuries yet anyway. Still have guys like Aiyuk, Purdy & Ferguson playing.

I'm going to miss the cut unless Pollard and Ferguson explode... 115 right now with cut at 122... see you guys next year.

I had like 60 points from the background players. And my Bengals haven't lit the world on fire offensively so far so yep I was worried.

Always good to have a healthy fear of The Turk

Cut at 130, I’m sitting at 126.4. Just awful performances all around headlined by my receivers. Keenan Allen on bye hurt, as did Courtland Sutton disappearing.
 
I've got 3 Ks, but 2 of them (Carlson and Santos) are the only players who have yet to count towards a weekly score for me this season... it's been all Fairbairn instead. Kamara and Michael Wilson finally got on the board for me in week 4 leaving just those 2 Ks yet to count.

My 2 Ds have scored 24 vs. Fairbairn's 47.1, so about 50%.

I'm taking the goose egg at QB this week (only rostered Herbert) but feeling pretty decent about my chances having survived a couple of 0s at RB weeks 2 and 3 with Ekeler out and Kamara suspended. If I can make it through to 6 I'll be feeling pretty good with the QB bye behind me and (hopefully) a healthy Ekeler.
Dang, I took a look at your team, and yea, if you make it past week 5, that's a heck of a roster you've made. If you are going to make that calculated risk of having your only QB and 1 of your 3 RBs on bye the same week, definitely best to make it during the earliest bye week.
Was a good week to have Chase finally show up in a big way! Onward with 186.9+ in a 0 QB week. Originally was thinking of pursuing this strategy with Burrow, but his preseason calf issues along with the earlier bye week pushed me towards Herbert instead. So far so good!

Good luck tonight to you and rzrback and anyone else sitting sub-150… hopefully the line doesn’t make a big jump! I don’t have spreadsheet in front of me but doubt there’s above-average ownership across the board between GB and LV players.
 
sitting at 125.4 with Love -0, Musgrave -7.30, and Carlson -18.9..... C'mon Love find Musgrave for about 10 dink and dunks and 1 TD!!!!!
 
Mike Williams is still my only casualty due to injury. Now writing off Van Jefferson, Zeke, Bourne (thanks for week 1 Kendrick), for the rest of the season.
Weeks 7 & 9 will be tough due to byes. If I survive 7, 9 will probably do me in, but you never know.
GL all
 
In the club house with 165.6. With Deuce Vaughn's 1.3 counting this week, Only Bryce Young and Jonathan Mingo haven't contributed. Well, and Cade York, but that's on me.
 
The most common folks tonight are Love, Doubs, Musgrave, and Anders Carlson. They will be your line movers.
