I was sitting on only 96.0 points after the 1 pm games, and I think the cut line was about 91. But the cut line moved quickly from there after the 4pm games started.
Still no standings posted after the end of the 1pm games, so not sure what's up with that. I'm currently sitting on 124.25 at half-time of 4pm games, and according to Army Eye's scoring site, the cut line is currently 108.10.
Unfortunately, Seattle scored 2 defensive TDs, and there is not much incentive for Darnold to throw TDs and get me any more points at QB. I have to hope he gets at least one more passing TD, and/or Jordan Love puts up a big score on Monday night.
At least Fannin played today and put up 10.40 which is not great, but he was questionable to even play, so I'll take it. My best hopes with remaining players are probably Goedert, Freiermuth, and Keenan Allen. Maybe I'll get lucky and Golden will play on Monday, and actually put up some points, but the trend with him seems to be going in the opposite direction. Kupp got a nice long 67 yard reception in the 2nd quarter, but unfortunately did not quite make it to the end zone on that play.
It's been a terrible day for me at RB, with Chase Brown on bye, and James Cook only managing 10.20 points. My last hopes for another score at RB lies with Montogmery and JCM, so I'm not counting on much, but hoping for a surprise out of one of them.
This week for me this week, my survival probably boils down to how far the cut line rises.
Good luck to all you guys who are sweating it out this week like I am.
So you are at 124+ and have a bunch of guys currently playing and at least four more bullets in the chamber and you're sweating?
See ya guys next week would have been more accurate.
Thank you for the vote of confidence, but things (so far) have materialized just as I had feared. I was just 5 points clear of the cut line after the 1pm games.
Knowing the cut line was going to rise,....
I needed a good score in the 4pm games from either JCM or David Montgomery at RB, and the scores they put up were 3.0 and 7.6.
i needed a good score in the 4pm game from Sam Darnold, but he only put up 13.7.
Those scores kept me barely 3.6 points above the cut line with fewer players left.
In the 8pm game, I knew the chances were not great to add to my score, with the following being my active players in the 8pm contest:
Freiermuth -9.4 . . . . . (and he only scored 7.8 for no help)
Keenan Allen -9.4 . . . . (and he only scored 3.9 for no help)
Bozwell - 14.4 . . . . . . . (and he only scored 6.9 for no help)
During the 8pm game, I added ZERO points to my score and the cut line rose 5.6 points, leaving me 2 points shy of the cut line with the Monday night game remaining.
My chances to make it to week 11 mostly depend on ( Jordan Love - 13.7) , and (Dallas Goedert -9.4) scoring enough either individually or combined beyond their respective 13.7 and 9.4 points that will not count, to add at least 10 additional points to my score, assuming the cut line does not move more than 7 more points tonight. It can move more as long as those last two players add more than the sum of the cut line movement plus the 2 points that I'm currently under the cut line. in order for me to survive by at least 0.05 points.
I also have Matthew Golden -9.4 (who is Questionable - and a game time decision at best)..... But he has hardly scored any points since Romeo Doubs and Christian Watson have been getting more targets. His last 3 weekly scores were 7.7 , 3.4 , and 2.9. So it would be a fluke if he plays at all, and then somehow scores much more than 9.4.
The other long shot is Jahan Dotson - 9.4, who is only averaging 3.6 points per game, including 2 donuts, and is probably far more likely to put up another zero than to score more than 9.4 and actually add anything to my score.
Other than QB Jordan Love, If one player scores more than 9.4, any second player left would have to score more than 10.4 before anything additional gets added to my score.
Looking at the history of scoring for Goedert and Love, I still think I have a decent chance. If Love puts up at least 24, and/or Goedert puts up at least 22, I should be fine. Goedert is averaging 16.56, and Love is averaging 23.69. If they both score at least their average, I might still squeak by.
Wish me luck. It sucks that a couple other regulars are in worse shape than me.
Ah, ha, ha, ha, stayin' alive, stayin' alive
