Final reminder of Bye Week Peril (1 Viewer)

Final reminder of Bye Week Peril, esp. weeks 6 and 7.

After you've drafted your studs, watch out for the backups Bye week.

I'm done drafting, but I know a lot will be drafting in the next week.

With all the new sharks here, I think it's time to revisit:

I've had 3 leagues draft so far this season and week 7 is a PITA, especially for the WR's I am targeting.

I avoided 6 and 7 on the theory that some owners will royally mess up and be unwilling to get hammered in 6 or 7, so they will be more ready to bargain when I have a ton of players who can save the day for them.

It's a theory anyway . . . certainly don't see how it can hurt unless you avoid good players just to make it work.

I'm guessing you didn't get good back ups.When you took Matt Jones did you know they would all have the same BYE?If I liked him I still would have drafted him, but look for wr 4 and 5 w/different bye weeks.

If the only game you lose is during one bye week, you had a great season... draft to win a season.

Are trades allowed in your league?

The biggest concern for me is if you take Peyton or Brady.

The QB2 late sitch is often a bunch of Wk 6 guys (Lefty, Frye, Brad Johnson - Favre should be gone by then).

Thanks again Jeff for posting this in July to give us FBGs a heads up on weeks 6 and 7 BYEs.I'm glad you mentioned Peyton and Brady. Those 2 QB were my 1 and 2 also, however after reading your post and doing some mocks. I realized that if I took 1 of them it would have changed my #2 QB (I loved Leftwich and Farve as #2). So I decided to take studs first and then a top QB (not Peyton or Brady).

I got 3 top RBs and WR and then Eli Manning in 7 plus I got Favre in rnd 12.

Favre will have more than 25 tds this year, anyone know why I think that?

In my main league I got LT,Gates (Same bye I know but value here). then Dunn, Bolden and Hasselbeck as my #1 QB. Then Leftwich in rnd 13 as QB2.

Was I mindful?

So, Thanks again. Here si my post from July 5th:

From post 1: (Jeff Pasquino July 5th)

I consider Week 6 a killer week this year.

CLE - Frye, Droughns, Jurevicius, KW2, etc....

GB - Favre, Green, Gado, Driver, etc....

INDY - Peyton, Addai, Rhodes, Harrison, Wayne, etc...

JAX - Leftwich, FTaylor, Matt Jones, MLewis, etc....

MIN - Brad Johnson, CTaylor, MMoore, KRob, Wiggins, etc...

NE - Brady, Branch, Dillon, Maroney, Watson, etc.....

Week 7 is softer, but still - watch out.

Just be mindful of it.

(my response July 5th)

Wow, that is a killer wk. I'm targeting several of these players. I'm sure a lot of you are too. I raelly liked Favre and Leftwich this year for my #2 because they slipped so far. Of course I like Manning and Brady (Jeff's #1&2), but if I get 1 of them I have to give up my solid #2's IMO.

That settles that I won't be paying for Manning or Brady, which is a good strategy to know going into the draft season. I would have caught this when I actuall did my

projections. I always take bye wks into concideration.
