A little breakdown of who saved/sunk their teams with their performance last night.

Obviously, Karty and his 20.3 pts moved the most entries from below the cutline to above. He salvaged 49 of the 113 roosters who were about to be visited by The Turk (43%). Kupp did his part to lifted 43% of his roosters with a mediocre score of 15. But from a "saved percentage" the hero of the night was Tyreek Hill, who with a paltry 11.7 points, brought 55% of his roosters back from the brink.

On the other side of things, pretty much everyone was a disappointment. Very few players came to their owner's rescue. Of Achane's 172 rosters under the cutline on Monday morning, 149 of them remained that way on Tuesday. Colby saved only 2 of his 59 rosters in danger. And Tua was so bad that 3 of his teams couldn't outrun the cutline.

Overall the night was good for those of us who looking for a low scoring affair.

How did Colby Parkinson save anyone? I thought he didn't even have a target?

Go team!

Note to self for next year: MORE PLAYERS!!!!

 

[Statorama]

Congrats to those still in it. My team went down the same time Rashee Rice did (and thanks for nothing Anthony Richardson), so I know the struggle is real.

Good job yall.

 

[D-Day]

Estimated total: 117.75. Cut line 117.85. Sonnova!

Another confirmation that "more is better"…

Especially with injuries etc,

 

[barackdhouse]

dang. missed the cut his week by ~1.5 pts. GL all see you next year!

 

[Born to Run]

My team could not survive the Dak & Diggs injuries. GL to the remaining teams.

 

[HairySasquatch]

I took a 0 on defense with two live teams.......I'm out by less than 1 point. ***slaps the hundred dollar bill on the coffee table*** "I'm out!"

[da_budman]

We started this week with 17 folks eligible for @Joe Bryant extra $100 prize. Sadly, we have to say farewell to @-OZ- @HairySasquatch @rzrback77 @themeanmachine @barackdhouse

Moving on to week 11 are:
@lsutigers @bamabuddha @Puppies @BlackCrowes @scottybo @Scoresman @Forte Yard Dash @JaBoo @apalmer @da_budman @IHEARTFF @a_troll00

Of note
- da_budman was this week's top dog with a score of 169.00 (42nd overall)
- bamabuddha was this week's lowest advancing team with 119.95 (1128th overall)

Good luck in week 11!

Thanks Winz and appreciate all the work you have done on this. I would like to think I can move on but alas, barring a miracle, Week 11 is where I get off the bus at the corner of Turk and FBG ave, Unlike the vast majority of you guys I put minimal effort in forming my team. Having 5 players off this week isnt Ideal, especially when 2 of them are your only quarterbacks. Good luck to anybody who moves on. Highly doubt I will be one of them.

 

[RideThePigGir]

Well, at least I made it further than before. Big thanks to Mr. "More TD Passes Than Completions" throwing... *counts on his fingers*... FIVE interceptions.

TOTAL	116.10
CUT LINE	117.85

 

[chocula]

I am out. It’s been fun, but the Turk had different plans for me this week.

Top RB, Gibbs gave me 11.8 points
Top WR, Deebo gave me 12.6 points

I know Will Levis gets a ton of crap, but he did great for me this year. This week he scored 24.85 for me, which is more than most QBs. Gano jumped back in and gave me my highest kicker score this week.
Next year, I plan to save each lineup I create to see how those lineups would have done versus teh team I entered the contest with.

Rice and Love were on most of my lineups this year, but I made change after change with everyone else.

My biggest player disappoints were Achane and Jayden Reed, I really thought each of them were going to crush it this year. Y biggest loss was Rice because I had him on most of my fantasy teams. I think I am in 6 leagues and had him in 5 of them. He was a keeper in the 6th league, so I never had the chance to get him at the draft.

Good luck to everyone still alive. I hope one of the regulars here on the forum wins it all this year

 

[dickey moe]

Wow, pretty low cut-line this past week. Still alive! Really need Metcalf to play this week.

 

[Stray Doug]

Karty killed the 18-20 player roster

Fare thee well, Bantam Menace.

Survived longer than I did! Ghost entry still going strong though... only Perine, Laube, Hurst, and Gano haven't counted yet. Mahomes/Barkley/Nabers/Kittle have all counted 7+ weeks, with Bucky Irving at 6 weeks.

 

[bamabuddha]

I have 4 off this week but only two are high contributors to my team;
Connors and Nabors


So hoping I do a little better than this past week where 3 of the 4 of my players off were big contributors- Geno, Walker and Bowers

 

[JaBoo]

How did Colby Parkinson save anyone? I thought he didn't even have a target?

The cheeky answer is he brought friends.

Truth is I do a pretty bare bones analysis for this one. I just look at the number of teams who had a MNF player below the cutline before the Monday night game, and then compare it to afterwards. If less teams rostering a player are cut after Monday night than before, I consider it a "save" for that player. To be more accurate I could look only for teams who use the score from the MNF player. That would be more complicated, but maybe something I can look to implement.

As for the friends Colby brought, each roster would be different, but as an example, Bearpig had Colby, Kupp and Karty on his roster. So before MNF, he had a score of 101.5 with a cutline of 109.95. But afterwards, he shot up to 128.2. So he would count as a save for all three players. It's lazy analysis for sure, but since Turk goes through the trouble of providing the data, I try to use it to add a bit of context around the contest.

Last week turned up this gem of schadenfreude. This entry stacked Mahommes with Kelce. Throughout the entire season, both largely disappointments. But in week 9, they finally both blow up, each putting up more than 30 points. So much so that only a single entry with Kelce got snagged by the Turk. Predictably it was the guy who stacked with Mahommes. That must have been so frustrating, you finally get ~65 points from your stud stack, and it isn't enough. But that's fantasy football for you.

 

[rustycolts]

This is the farthest I've made it in years a whole lot of years. I'm afraid week 11 is the bus stop I exit. Just can't keep riding when your RBs only score 9 points and that's overperforming .

[dbc925]

The fat lady sang. Loudly. And to be fair, she spent a good eight weeks warming up her vocal chords. At least I didn't come remotely close to the cutline, which would have really bugged me with Pacheco now coming back.

I saved a lot of my roster iterations, and its too bad there isn't a tool where we can put in theoretical lineups.

Out of curiosity, I looked at a 30-member team roster to see how it would have done. Turns out it would have been eliminated week 9. Glad I made the right decision!

A tool to track them would be terrific. I have struggled the past few years and need to change my tactics next year

 

[rustycolts]

Well I get Robinson back this week
So maybe I'll get more than 9 points out of my RBs. Of course he's playing Philly so maybe not.

Better than McLaurin

 

[rustycolts]

Well I scored 41.65 with 3 players playing. So I have a little hope . I HATE THAT.

 

[da_budman]

In my league the Hurts/Barkley owner scored 53.6 The rest of the league scored 66.2.....with 9 players lol

 

[rustycolts]

Is anyone else having a real problem getting to FBGs whole page is funkadelic on my phone

 

[rustycolts]

Slow adapter to technology strikes again
I fixed it. Somehow desk top got clicked, I don't even know how to do such a thing,but I managed it somehow. Man that was hard to navigate.

 

[apalmer]

So, my week without Nabors and McBride (and Singletary, although his contributions have been minimal). No problem, have Nabors covered with McLaurin...oops. Well, at least McBride won't be missed because I have Kittle, right? Oops.

:Sigh: It was nice while it lasted.

 

[Contest Turk]

I just noticed that @Contest Turk is about 19 points under the cut line (90.80) with Stafford left to play (and all Stafford's points will count).

Hoping for a good night from Stafford to keep the Turk in the contest.

It was not to be.

This was either the longest or the second-longest I've ever lasted, and I enjoyed it immensely!

 

[rustycolts]

Well sure has been fun,but I think this is it for me. I have no TEs this week. Otton and Kittle have saved me multiple times not to be this week.

 

[TheWinz]

Well sure has been fun,but I think this is it for me. I have no TEs this week. Otton and Kittle have saved me multiple times not to be this week.

I think I'm going to buy 2 subscriptions just to have a 2nd entry next year.

 

[Irelad]

Taysom Hill off to a great start to try to bail me out if Kittle doesn't play!

 

[QuizGuy66]

Hill's stat line is bonkers
1 out of 2 passing for 18 yards and an INT (-0.1 points)
2 carries for 9 yards and a TD (6.9 points)
6 catches for 32 yards (12.2 points)

I'm at 99 so far, which has to be alright I guess for being halfway through the morning games.

Well it's better than paying $300 bucks to RT sports to suck hind *** all season long.

You can't say *** it's such a friendly word. I mean where would we be without them.

 

[QuizGuy66]

Probably should root against my ghost team so it hurts less but can't help but root for the ghost team so I can think my logic is close.

Really main takeaway is to not roster players that are banged up coming into the season even if you really think they will explode - multiply this sentiment by 100 if they player is a 49er as the coach is untrustworthy

-QG

 

[TheWinz]

Since being booted by less than 3 in week 5, I've made the cut each week by 18+, and am currently above the line

 

[Irelad]

Colby Parkinson sighting too!!! No Kittle, no problem!!!

 

[cstruk]

Goff and Taysom making up for Garrett Wilson

 

[BlackCrowes]

Tua stepping up on Murray’s bye

 

[Puppies]

Taysom Hill = 48.70 points and still counting

138 rushing yards and 3 TDs, 8 receptions for 50 yards, 1 for 2 passing for 18 yards and 1 INT.

Gotta love it !

 

[stubby]

Stafford, Breece, Taysom combo have me @156 already….looking good.

Edit….and that was before the 75yd TD ….176 now. See y’all next week!

 

[Scoresman]

173. Sweating a lot less right now.
