my team had a brutal week.
have Tyrod Taylor and Blount going tonight but probably will wind up with just a single win.

Only five teams in the Vet tier can reach 52 wins. Leaning towards 51 being the dividing line and resorting to total points.2 weeks left until the playoffs. Yes, we're talking playoffs...
52 wins should be a lock for the championship tier. I suspect 51 wins will be the magic number this year.
Based on that Duckboy 53 and BTSW 52 are locked in.
Ruds at 49 wins needs 2-3 more wins.
Ref and Rene both are at 47 and need to find 4-5 wins out of the next 14 games.
Barring diaster we should have 5 teams in the championship tier. Adding a 6th would be a huge help in winning the overall title. FS has 6, Zeal has 4, and FFT has 5. FS won't get any more in and has 2 at risk. Zeal has one/two at risk and one just on the outside. FFT has two at risk and one long shot. We have 3 teams knocking at the door.
Old Mil at 41 wins likely needs to finish 10-4
Bro1 at 40 wins needs to finish 11-3
Clash at 39 wins needs to drop the hammer and finish 12-2
Those three teams need 43 wins to stay in the veteran tier so they should be secure barring a total collapse.
Sinrman and Sweet Love have 33 wins so they'll need to finish 10-4 to bump up a tier. Valence has 32 sins and will need an 11-3 finish. 33 wins should be enough to stay in this tier so they can be aggressive with lineup decisions to swing for those 10-11 wins.
Gringo needs to win 20 out of his next 14 games to move up a tier. Actually something needs to be done here to keep this team at least competitive. A win here or there not only impacts the teams overall placement, it could help move one of our other teams up a tier. Just having a kicker or starting Floyd (who has been his best WR) last week would have given him a win over a guy one spot in front of Clash and tied with Bro1.
FS/FFT/Zeal all have teams at risk of dropping down a tier.
Id be ok with what you are rolling out....don't like any of your other options more... Good luckRight now I have starting for week 12:
Bortles
Ivory
Decker
Hurns
Lockett
Tate
Olsen
Should I consider any of these? T Austin, T Benjamin, V Davis? With Lynch now out for awhile (yet ANOTHER injury), my options continue to plummet.
You need 6 to 7 wins. Benjamin probably offers the most upside. I probably replace Lockett.Right now I have starting for week 12:

Duckboy and btsw - clinched champ tier. Well done gents.
Rene and Ref - sitting at 50 wins and a four game lead. Two wins would lock it up, one might be dicey.
Ruds - 49 wins but will holds the tiebreaker over everyone behind him.
Clash - Made a huge move this week with 7 wins to get to 46 wins and one game back of the cut line. He'll mostly likely need 6 wins to get us another team in the champ tier.
.500 is currently the dividing line between the Vet their and Rookie tier. 43 wins should get it done.
Bro1ncos - 42 wins.
Old Mill - 41 wins.
Sinrman 37 wins, Valence 36 wins, and Sweet Love 35 wins won't fall out of the rookie tier. 6 or 7 win weeks gets them in the conversation to tier up. Looks like they to swing for the fences this week.
Gingo is looked into the watery tier. He should get J. Allen this week if someone submits the bid for this team.

Sweet Love is the nail biter. He's got to fall right on the cut line so total points could be important.
Sure would be sweet to go into the playoffs with 6/3/2/1
Congrats. Your tier up very well may be the difference needed to close the 17 pt gap. It improved our playoff ceiling by 23 pts (less any games against FBGs).Yes!

matchups are probably most important factor at this point.Free Agent Thoughts
D - Wash is a top ten Def that no one owns. Maybe dip guru Ruds can chime in here.
I ran into just one Rodgers owner, but it was kinda offset a little by the other owner also having Eddie Lacy, who did diddly-squat.Unfortunately I ran into one of those Rodgers owners.
Standings page has you at 5-1 with Ref and Rene6-0 here![]()
Yeah they took a scored fumble away. That and the field goal took me to a half pt loss. At least it was to a non competing board.Standings page has you at 5-1 with Ref and Rene6-0 here![]()

20-16 in the champ tier.
16-14 for FS

13-17 for FFT
I suck at this stuff (unless it's just not starting Denver RBs) and usually just defer to Dodds. I was a big Lockett fan and was suggesting him for weeks as a ww pick up. Last week looked good but he only had 7 targets (converted all of them). You also don't get credit for return TDs in this league so don't let that be a tipping point. Benjamin did hurt his shoulder last week. Make sure he's actually playing. Browns aren't playing for anything so no need to rush him back.Can't ever make my mind up on these guys... pick 4:
T Austin
T Benjamin
M Colston
E Decker
A Hurns
T Lockett
G Tate
R Woods
I currently have Decker, Hurns, Benjamin, and Tate in. Would love to get Lockett in, too, but can't with that group..
Suggestion on this group, need two (Rawls/Brown/Calvin locked in)….Targetting 150 points each week as opposed to 125 in the regular season
Anderson/Hillman @ OAK
Lamar Miller @ NYG Monday Nite
Adams v. DAL
Aiken v. SEA
Parker @ NYG Monday NiteDJax @ CHI
FBG has them ranked as Aiken, Miller, DJax, second TE, all the rest around 10 pts. I don't see Aiken v. Sherman being a positive matchup. Not liking DJaxs target numbers but he's producing with them. Parker seems to fall into the same category. Giants have been tough on RBs fantasy wise.
TE Watson or Witten - Leaning Watson, FBG has them as a push. I think he has more upside.
Adams is getting fewer looks and seeing his role erode.Suggestion on this group, need two (Rawls/Brown/Calvin locked in)….Targetting 150 points each week as opposed to 125 in the regular season

Hillman gets start and maybe more touches with Thompson spelling him
Miller is out this this week with a he is dead to me designation
Adams a decent matchup
Aiken not a decent matchup
Starting to like me sum Parker NYG pass def is brutal
Dsux needs the big play or you are staring at 5 points a week
IMO 2 of Adams, Parker, Dsux
leaning Watson too....
but I'd love to hear some teammates chime in
If you are looking upside as opposed to safety, I'd go Parker/DJax/Hillman (if CJ is out) or Aiken (if not).

Wish we hadn't be so good at assembling mediocre talent.
I'd agree with your 4, with Lockett as the fallback for Benjamin.

Need to scope the WW for a TE option. Tried to move an RB/WR for one but nobody was biting, now it's a hole.
Curious on people's thoughts about upside. 6 of us in the champ tier are facing better than average teams. I'm assuming the typical good 125-130 week won't net the wins we need.If you are looking upside as opposed to safety, I'd go Parker/DJax/Hillman (if CJ is out) or Aiken (if not).
