Bragging, venting, crowing, grieving... (1 Viewer)

Started Chris Hogan as my WR2 this week. To the bench he goes. Hell even Dorsett showed up for the Pats today. 

 
My first two picks DNF their games (Freeman/Fournette).

Update: I also had Baldwin who had yet to play at the time I posted this.  WTF.

Lost by 3 points.

This is my first year of Fantasy Football and of course then first ever match up. I hope it gets better from here. My team has had just as many fumbles as TD's. I went from being up 10 points to being down by 20 in a matter of it seemed 2 minutes when 3 of his players scored TD's. Looks like I am starting my Fantasy career off with an L. 

 
Fournette and Baldwin injured and out. CMC underperforming to forecast in PPR. LAC soiling the bed. Even Jake Elliot's underwhelming performance.

Not a great WK 1, and worried about this team's near future.

 
Bragging:

My WRs in one league: 

2.12 - Mike Evans

3.01 Tyreek Hill

4.12 - Adam Thielen

:pickle:

WRs/RB in the other

K. Allen

Diggs

RB1 Gordon

:pickle:

Venting: 

League 1 - RB2 Royce Freeman, O-Flex Chris Hogan  :sadbanana:

League 2 - RB2 Collins, WR3 CHogan, O-Flex PBarber.  :sadbanana:

Absolutely Disgusted with myself:

Bench in league 1 of John Brown, C.Godwin, C.Cole, P.Barber :doh:  

Bench in league 2 of Adrian Peterson, John Brown, James White, C.Godwin :doh:  

Hogan absolutely killed me in both leagues. 

I’m a big believer in starting my top players week 1, but man - I swapped out Barber for White 10 times and kept changing it back. Likewise for Hogan for Brown in both leagues. 

I’d likely have both games locked up, but since I faced Phillip Rivers 50 points in both damn leagues, I’m a coin flip in both. 

:doh:  

 
Fournette, Baldwin, Goodwin, Njoku, Hill. All on the same team. Oh, I also swapped out the Bears D for the Packers D this morning. Neat hobby. 

 
Also have some good WR cores in a couple legaues

My Longest Dynasty league (since 2012-friends league)

OBJ, Evans, Keenan and AJ Green so pretty good week. If only Bell was playing I might have been able to set the new high score record.

First FBG players Championship, got stuck going zero RB but may turn out okay if a couple of the rbs work out because of these 3-5 guys

Hopkins, Keenan, Tyreek, Allen Robinson and Kenny Stills

 
Am I the only one that gets really really annoyed when you post a really high score to only get beaten by another high score when you would have beaten the majority of the league? FTR, I had 122 pts (12 team, standard scoring) and would have beat 8 other teams this week.

That is not so bad. Last season in one league, I lost 4 games with the second highest score in a 10 team league, ended up 7-7 and missed the playoffs. That had to be most frustrating FF team I've ever had in 10+ years of this hobby.

 
MY: 10 Team PPR (Start: QB, 2 RB, 2 WR, TE, Flex RB/WR/TE, DST & K)

A. Rodgers; A. Luck

*L. Bell; L. Miller; M Ingram; T. Coleman; C. Thompson; J. White, *J. Conner

K. Allen; L. Fitzgerald; J. Landry; J. Crowder; 

R. Gronkowski

Saints DST

H. Butker

Scored *157.34  :thumbup:

*2nd highest in League... yep, played 1st highest scoring (184.56)   :wall:

 
10 team league where you have to roster 3 TEs and mine are all currently hurt(Walker,Olsen,McDonald). Just bid 10% of my fab on a guy I've never heard of- Drissly.

 
I own Bell and was playing the Zeke/DJ owner (two player keeper league). I won by a wide margin...thanks mainly to Mahomes/Hill.

WR3 in 1 league, O-Flex in the other.

fortunately I have alternatives week 2, but I can’t shake the feeling that when I bench him he’s gonna blow up.

:doh:

I’m down 38.1 points against the highest scoring team in my league. I had 3 WRs combine for over 100 points between Hill, Evans & Thielen. 

He’s done. I have Gurley. It’s a league with big yardage bonuses (5 at 100+, 5 every 50 after) and PPR, where PaYd & ReYd are combined. 

So not out of the question. I just need something like 151 RuYd, 51 ReYd, 3 Receptions, 2 TDs. No biggie right? :doh:  

It would really suck to lose with that WR trio thanks to no-shows by Hogan, R.Freeman & Burton. 

Pray for me. :(  

 
Already gave up on my work league. Thankfully it’s free. Just noticed QBs get 2 pts per completion. Rivers had 95 points against me. I had Watson - 28.8. For comparisons sake Tyreek Hill had 55 pts and 12 QBs ourscored him (Brees scored 112 - higher than my entire team).

2 pts per completion?  That's laughable.  Rivers gets major points by just dumping it off to a RB, which in essence is just like a running play.

 
second highest score in my league. Naturally played the highest. 

Got almost nothing from my QB (Matty Ice Cold in the Red Zone), RB2 (Freeman = feature back my butt), Burton (I passed up Phillip Rivers for that?!?) and bust of the week Chris Hogan, so losing by 8 points sucked. 

And I still had a chance up until the last drive with Gurley, when the Rams inexplicably kept throwing deep on 1st down while up 10 points in the late 3rd/early 4th with mins to chew. If Gurley scores a TD there, I win. Gah. 

Game of inches - it's a long season, but this one hurt. What a waste of Hill/Evans/Thielen, the best WR corps I've ever had. :doh:

Headline summary I just got a pop up for:

It was a bad week, Bobby Layne 

Thanks, Captain Obvious!

Lost by 55 or so but my lineup (sans Wentz & Alshon) did reasonably well. Opponent - by far the worst manager in the league year-in / year-out & owner of the worst draft - had Saquon, Tyreek, Conner & a few others that just went off.

Kind of a fluke, not gonna panic as my team is still solid. But it was very humbling. Stuff happens.

Started the year with Bell, Gurley, Julio and Hilton as keepers. Added Hopkins to my roster through trades just to flex a bit. Got the lowest score of the week with Mariota at QB, Bell being a punk, and some other unfortunate events. Still just week 1 but my QB and RB2 situation is just bad. 

 
Had D.Johnson (meh) plus Connor, M.Thomas and T.Hill plus AP on the bench  :wub:

Let down by Carr, j.Graham, Prater and the stupid Chargers DEF all of whom got me like 12 points combined and I lost by 3. What a waste of my backs and receivers man.

 
Highest scoring week in our 10 year league last week. Chances of potentially breaking it this week. Guaranteed to not win it all with this kind of start. 

ETA: And people chuckled when I reached for McCaffrey and Hill in round 1/2. M Thomas and Kamara as keepers didn’t hurt.

Have the Mahomes and tyreek stack but went up against a Big Ben and juju stack, gonna be close yet but probably lose with the second highest score of the week

 
How many of us expected when the NFL made the change of OT from 15 minutes to 10 that it would have any impact at all?

And yet...two ties in two weeks.  Can the league get the hat trick?

 
One league, have Zeurlein and looks like I will hold on if Howard doesn't fumble multiple times and get minimal yards.  The other league I lost by 3 points - even an average day by Zeurlein and I win.  Damn kickers.

 
Brag #1: I have the best WR corps I’ve ever had in my main league paired with Todd Gurley. Evans/Hill/Thielen with Hogan as a Flex/Bye

Nrag #2: I have the best WR corps I’ve ever had in an IDP league paired with Me.Gordon. K.Allen/Diggs/Hogan

 may the fantasy gods smile upon me with health & prosperity. :wub:  

 
I just need to vent.

Yahoo needs to get with the program and stop listing players that are free agents as still being apart of their last team. ESPN is able to do this with no problem so I don't get why Yahoo is dragging their feet. For example, Dez Bryant is still listed as a Cowboys WR and Dan Bailey is still listed as a Cowboys Kicker.

The reason I'm pissed at this is because I play in a league where the waivers reset each week inverse to your current standing. Basically the team in first place gets the last waiver claim and the team is last place has the first wavier claim etc. Not to toot my own horn but I'm pretty good at this fantasy football thing and as a result I usually end up with one of the last waiver claims.

I've pretty much accepted that I'm never going to be able to claim any of the week's "hot" players and instead I have to use my future telling wizard skills in order to try to grab a player before he becomes a hot topic. I grabbed Dez as soon as the Browns parting ways with Josh Gordon news broke. My other WRs are already pretty decent but my kicker is Vinatieri and I'm not too happy with his output this week. After the kicker massacre that happened this Sunday I would love to drop Dez in order to pick up Bailey before he signs with a team and becomes a "hot" waiver pickup that I'll likely miss out on. Especially since I have a feeling he signs with the Rams.

Both these players are not currently signed with a team. I should be able to make roster moves with them but nope Yahoo is treating them like they are still on the Cowboys and are now locked as of the kickoff of SNF. ESPN does not have these players locked and are allowing roster moves but I have Justin Tucker in my ESPN league so yea no need for Dan Bailey there. *ends rant*

 
I'm looking pretty smart for drafting Keelan Cole late at a low cost and locking him up for a while.

While the jury is still out, I'm not looking as smart for doing the same with Courtland Sutton.

 
Really needed AB yesterday.  My Pitt trio of Big Ben (mostly), Connor and AB was looking good, until my opponents counter with Cousins and Diggs likely getting him the win.

 
Slow start, streaming mediocre QBs with Wentz out & didn’t have a Plan B for Olsen (have Eifert & RSJ.) High scorer WK1 was 24 sumtin & WK2 it was 21ish.

0-2

Core:

AB, T.Y., Tate, Cook + Wentz

Other starters:

Alshon when he gets healthy, RB2 is Hyde, Eifert, Lutz, Denver.

Decent depth: Cohen, Kerryon, Geronimo, Westbrook, Mike Williams, RSJ

Bad start but feel like it’s still a decent squad, no need to panic.
