Bragging, venting, crowing, grieving... (2 Viewers)

Just an observation I didn’t know where else to put.

My 10-team auction league has one TE spot, two flex spots and one superflex spot. So you can start up to 4 TEs if you really want to.

Most of us rostered one TE. One team rostered five.

Guess who is in last place?
 
Last year I went from 2 leagues to 5. I thought that familiarity with those leagues and having a good pulse on all of the players would make it easier and so I joined the FGB bowl too.

So the premise of winning in fantasy football is that if you are knowledgeable enough about talent and situation, you can have an edge. WRONG.

Luck >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> knowledge of talent and situation.

Mark Andrews turning into a zero out of the blue at age 28.
Miami's offense is a dumpster fire- just like everyone predicted.
Injuries and random stuff just torpedoes all of the time I'm investing in trying to get an edge.

Fun hobby but only as a way to connect with people. Thinking that increasing your time invested to winning is just not smart. I'm about to go back to being a more casual player. Not sure which leagues --- if any --I'll be bowing out of. I'll be keeping more track of the time and $ I'm putting into the hobby and making a some decisions.
 
In my home league this week, I play my two buddies in a doubleheader week.

I'm potentially without SEVEN of my 8 non-QB starters due to injury (Mixon, Singletary, Dell, Shakir, McBride) or bye (Pollard and A.J. Brown, who would be in the other list if they weren't off. Giving 2023 Dolphins-Broncos vibes.
 
Nothing like cutting Cousins on Tuesday after scoring 43 total over the first 4 weeks only to have him score 37 last night.
:censored: :wall:
 
Swapped Aaron jones into my lineup last minute today. Lasted a quarter

…for Achane, who lasted a quarter.

So, reversing penguin meme, I guess?

Ugh. Lost both games as the 3rd highest scorer in the league through Sunday night. Had Burrow and Stevenson on the bench.
 
I know no one cares but first real year back (played in my son’s league for no money last year) in a while and I somehow clawed my way to 5-0 last night. I’ve got the best roster, I think, overall but was missing St. Brown, Gibbs, DeVonta Smith and Montgomery to bye weeks and had Aaron Jones go out in the 1st Q and Moody go out right before the punter kicks a FG before half in a start 9 player league. Kelce and Hint did they part to win by a little more than 1 point against one of the worst teams. Got very lucky this week and I needed it to stay in front of 2 4-1 teams who I play the next two weeks.
 
The good: Just had one of those weeks where everyone gelled at once and I put up 225 pts (PPR, SF) against a projected 147. Won my match by 95 pts, would have beaten any one else in the league by at least 40.

The bad: May be losing Nico for a little while.

The ugly: 2nd in total points, but sitting at 2-3 in 8th place because of brutal schedule the first 4 weeks.
 
My entire lineup just about is questionable. Robinson, Cook, Dionte, shaheed. Kupp out , Tua out. What's the the point of even paying attention anymore. Oh and I have studs Breece, Braelon, Garrett
 
Just posted this in the SharkPool Home League Uno thread to my league mates, but it definitely belongs in this Venting thread….


League vote on referendum A:

Reduce starting line up requirements to any 5 healthy players, at any position, including kickers.

Yay or nay
 
Is venting about missing a 9 leg parlay by Aiyuk being 2.5 yards short allowed? Maybe it's better to compare it to a 1000 entry DFS and losing the championship game by .002 yards instead.

Point at the shirt or something but no clue how to insert that emoji.
 
Last night couldnt have gotten me off to a much worse start. Mason doing really well UNTIL an injury...never to be heard from again. Brock Purdy had a nice game...on my bench. My opponent had both Kittle and his high score for the year and Lockett and his only td and high score for the year. Oh and to add insult to injury I Lost a 30 yd TD to Mason because of a penalty on..... yep....his guy with 2 tds Kittle. Ughhh
 
After losing by 5 points in a 200+ point game last week with Nico going down, I'm now out Nico, Nabers, JT, BRob, and Rhamondre this week. Wasn't fantasy supposed to be fun?

Seeing a lot of ugly lineups in my redraft league today.
 
I might be done with fantasy football after this year. I just lost to a team that had Dicker score 17 points as I was up by 16.5 before tonight's game. This team is horrendous and drafted Bo Nix 10th overall followed by Sutton and Javonte Williams. They also started Jeff Wilson at running back this week against me.
 
really sucks to play opponent's best game each week. Extra sucks when you consistently have one of the best weekly scores and lose.

It's happened to me 3 of the last 4 weeks. I'm the highest scoring team in the league. My record is 3-4, my All Play record is 59-18.
 
For once I actually did something right. Triple tinkered. Last minute had a gut feeling and swapped D. Smith from my flex for Hunt. Worked phenominally. I have Stroud and didn't like his matchup so I picked up Cousins. 10 minutes later said screw it, dropped Cousins and picked up Richardson instead. Richardson laid an egg, but Cousins was even worse, and Stroud was even worse than both of them. I won my matchup by less than 2 points against the 1st place juggernaut of a team (145.xx to 143.xx). The swap from ****ty cousins to just barely better ****ty Richardson actually worked. Sometimes it's nice to have the luck on your side.

But bad news is I dropped Jennings to get Cousins orignally. Now with Aiyuk done I am 8th on the waiver and may not get him back. We will see tomorrow. Worth it though as that win got me to 4-3 and 3rd in the league. Was in 9th after week 3.
 
this season seems more like "last man standing" than any season in the past 20 years that I've played, 100+ teams.

my three teams have suffered so many injuries, way more than ever before... and I'm still a near lock to make the playoffs in all three. That can only be because my leaguemates have suffered significant loses too.
 
Weird spot in a game we play on another forum, where the idea is to pick a correct answer that other people won't pick. This week, the reveal was to find a QB with three 300 yard passing games through week seven.

Only two QBs were correct. Two players picked Geno and nobody picked Baker, everyone else was wrong. Out of ~50 participants. We've been doing this for ten years and not seen anything like it
 
Seems like once every five years, I have everything go right. In 2015, of my 5 leagues, I finished first in two and second in two others. In 2020, of my 2 leagues, I won them both.

I will need that to happen again in 2025 because it sure as hell ain't happening for me this year.
