This is combination of venting and asking what I could be doing better. My team will be either 6-2 or 5-3 after this week (Herbert needs to outscore Cole Kmet by 11), but my players are really struggling to score lately despite lofty projections. My 10-team, half-PPR squad:
QB: Herbert
RB: Bijan, Taylor, Henry, Brian Robinson, Spears
WR: Puka, Waddle, Olave, Diontae Johnson, Nico Collins
TE: Kelce, Kincaid (stashing for Kelce bye week)
D: NYJ
K: Fairbiarn (streaming)
IR: Kyler Murray
According to ESPN and FantasyPro's analytics, my team is rated 1st out of 10 (FP my team is rated as 100, second-best team is rated 89). But week after week, I'm falling short of expectations. Here are my past four weeks:
WEEK 8: Projected 124 pts, currently have 79 pts pre-Herbert
WEEK 7: Projected 117 pts, scored 95 pts
WEEK 6: Projected 120 pts, scored 115 pts (this was fairly accurate, but I lost by 4)
WEEK 5: Projected 110 pts, scored 89 pts (Richardson got hurt filling in for Herbert ,but the non-Kelce members of my team underperformed)
Three of the past four weeks have been nothing short of awful, compared to expectations. But I'm not sure what I can do. My league doesn't trade unless I over-offer (I had to give up both Mostert and Kyren Williams to land Henry last month). Am I undervaluing a luck component or is my squad fundamentally flawed?
