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.

2-2

All is well. My TEs suck but pretty solid squad overall. Wentz is healthy, 4 solid starting WRs with 3 decent WR backups. Could use some more juice at RB but hopefully Kerryon will start seeing more snaps/touches.

Sometimes the best moves are the ones you don’t make. 

 
Hilton injury came at a really bad time for me, with Robinson and Godwin both on bye already this week.  Guess I'm throwing some FA money at Chester Rogers and Rashard Higgins this week

 
Was in a bit of a sweat on the DK contest last night.  If Hines breaks that ankle tackle, I didn't see anything in front of him, and I think he is gone for the TD, and I am probably $25K richer.  As it is, the TD went to Ebron, who was also on my team, and I dropped 1000 places.

But hey, I won $50.

 
This is the last time I ever draft a TE early.

Take Gronk, thinking I was going to have a huge edge at TE.....and this week I am facing the Ebron owner, and the previous week I faced the Jared Cook owner.  Both TEs careered against me.

Never again.

Reminds me of one of the owners in my league: he has gone against Mahomes Week 2 (326/6), Brees Week 3 (396/5), and Goff week 4 (465/5). He paid 2nd-most for a QB (Brady) at auction and has been outscored by 75 points at the position for the year.  He's off to a great start this week, but Matt Ryan owners you may be looking at a huge week if history holds :)

did you throw the money to rogers or did he drop that too?

 
This might be it for me.

I'm basically making a donation this year.

I barely follow my teams, set my lineups, made zero free agency moves so far and need to.

It was a run :unsure:

Anyone else start Cincy D for FBG championship and get the points for the second TD and then now have them not there...could really use those 7 points

yes.  in the main event as well.  I was wondering about that.  I am assuming (hoping) it gets fixed.  The points are there in the game log, so I don't think it could be a scoring change this fast.  likely just an error with it.

Back now thankfully

 
Scored second highest points of the year and lost by 2.  Opponent picked up Cincinnati D this week.  Also he had Rodgers and Ertz who cleaned up in garbage time.  Was 4-0.

 
Finally get to brag in this thread! High score going against the 3rd highest... made a morning trade that netted me Adams and removed Cooper from my SL. Adams 31 points, Cooper 2. Net of 29. Won by 27. Lost Breida but I'll take the W!

NOTHING worse than posting a ridiculously high score only to be playing the only other team that could beat you that week. Several years ago I had this times a million.  Wound up 3rd highest scoring team out of the 12 team league with a 3-10 record.  Stupidest thing I ever saw.  One of my best teams ever in 25 + years and it wound up with my all time worst season record.

 
Injury complaints! Drafted Fournette, Alex Collins, Gio, Cohen and Burkhead in a deep roster 2qb/3rb/3wr 12 team league. Also Greg Olsen (ugh).

Started Corey Grant (immediately injured), Collins (who Baltimore seems to hate giving the ball to) and Mark Walton (who?). The waivers are always picked clean in this league. Obviously lost.

Going forward it's Cohen and Collins and Nick Chubb and whoever else I can find on the barren waiver wire. Frustrated because I passed on top QBs like Brees to get Fournette at 12.

Can't really throw in the towel yet, can't find anyone to trade Hopkins with. Should have known this season was going down the tubes when Fournette hurt his hamstring in the 1st quarter of the 1st game.

I swear it's easier when the injured player just goes on IR, can't really drop Fournette or Gio or Olsen, and my 6 slot bench is clogged with Injured guys so very little wiggle room with who I can add/drop.

Really want to implement an IR slot on our rosters next year, once the injuries start coming, you are really in a bind with space on your bench.

 
Following a big Thursday from Brady and White I managed to field the worst possible combination of players. Lutz will make the failure complete... 

 
Lost to a previously winless team mainly because I thought Miami D had a better matchup than Arizona.

(Also because Keke Coutee and Marquez Valdes-Scantling on my bench outscored Julio, Tyreek and Landry combined)

 
I'm currently 3-2, and the second highest scoring team in the league with 719.7 points.  The guy ahead of me has 720.1.

My Points Against?  763.5.  The second worst PA is 682.3.

Reminds me of the year I led scoring by over 100 points, finished 7-6 and only made the playoffs on a tiebreaker.

 
Facing the 5-0 guy, he has lucked into 5 wins; this week his team showed up and is destroying me.  Dude averages 80 pts per week and is somehow 5-0.  This week he is over 120.  Maybe it is not luck, maybe he is a witch.

 
I have the worst damn luck this year.  Against Gordon in 3 leagues.  Had a not very good team that is going to finish 2nd in scoring with a loss for the second straight week....it ran into the Ravens D

 
My team is turning into a pumpkin just in time for Halloween but luckily the last two weeks I have played about the 2 worst teams in the league. May get away with another one this week (up by 7, I have Alfred Morris and he has Robbie Gould)

Team blew up this week. 6th highest score of any team in my league all year. Was 99% to win...then Mahomes to Hill 3x in the second half happened and I am 0-6.

Same here. Had, I think, a 98 percent chance to win and then Gurley and Hill happened to me yesterday and I lost by a point. I'm 3-3, though, and in the playoffs should it have ended today (we're a pretty rare league in that there's a ton of parity) based on points for.

Yeah, it's just been that kind of a season. When Gronk caught that long one I thought for a second he might score and I'd win. I think I lost by a point last week too. I probably have a top 5 team but the randomness of scoring has killed me. Oh well, I have been on a red hot run in the league the last 3 years so I guess I was due for regression. 

 
I was up 72 points until the Brady/Hill explosion. Because of bonus points, combined they scored 65 points! 

I need Robbie gould to score 6 points or less tonight to win.  Arghhh

Drafted Wentz, so grabbed Goff late to cover his absence to start the season. My team started 1-1, then Wentz returned in Week 3: 

Week 3 - Wentz 14.2, Goff 32.56 - I started Wentz, lost by 12 pts
Week 4 - Wentz 24.7, Goff 49.3 - I started Wentz, lost by 8 pts
Week 5 - Wentz 25.1, Goff 18.3 - I started Goff, lost by 3 pts
Week 6 - Wentz 30.5, Goff 8.4 - I started Goff, lost by 20 pts

Now I'm 1-5 (also thanks to Dalvin Cook's worthless ###).  I think from now on I'll just ask my opponent which QB he'd prefer to face, as that might have a better chance of working for me than me picking them myself.
