Not a great start for my 3 headed cheap QB combo with Foles out for likely a significant amount of time (if not the whole year) 

 
Since we all get a free pass this week, the best you can hope for is injury-free games from your players

 
Murray totally worth the money... I'm looking pretty good and I still have my best player yet to play (yet had a stinker from my rb2 and wr1!)

It’s clear proof that going off for me this week means it’s a direct indication of what’s to happen for the rest of the season. Simultaneously, laying a turd for me this week is clear proof that they’re “due” and will go off every week from here on out. 

It’s basic math. 

 
Hiya @Steeler I calculate the Jets defense as having 17 points - calc-o-matic has only 15.  Is it missing the safety that was scored?

1 sack, 2 interceptions, 2 fumble recoveries, interception return td, safety = 1+4+4+6+2 = 17

Thanks :)

So after 4 pm games...

238 236 + (Brady/Carr - 46.8) + (Conner/Jacobs/Duke - 12.3/14.3/23.1) + (Gordon - 14.3/23.5)

Some decent unused scores:  AJ Brown 10.3, Seahawks Defense 11.  Only guy that did nothing was Reynolds (but at least he got a couple targets).

Not a bad warmup week :)

Defenses don't get points for safeties - I think that rule changed last year IIRC.

If directed at me, I'm just excited that the lower guys I picked look like they are going to be involved in their offenses and seem like solid picks. I will need them as I have a shorter roster than usual. Also Kyler showing good potential in his first game makes me feel better about pairing him with Goff. Today is a perfect example of why I was uneasy about Goff. 

Heres hoping my guys dont lay an egg next week :lol:

Not directed at you any more than anyone else, including me (I posted a big score myself, and am apparently going to add to it tonight). This board is no different than the talking heads for every professional sport who overreact to every single outcome.

The Nashville media is already declaring the Titans a playoff team, for example. To which I respond in the words of the great philosopher poet, Butthead:  “Settle down, Beavis.”  

 
It appears clear that I should have rostered all 3 non-Dolphin AFC East QBs. 6 games against Miami would play well. I can’t remember which weeks are the “highest aggregate total” weeks, but having a guy facing Miami in that stretch will be helpful. That secondary is dreadful. 

 
I am at 220 and counting (Brady and Gordon). I believe it is my highest score ever. The problem is that my top two RB did well, but the rest stunk it up. 

I rostered Succop and took a shot at M. Goodwin thinking he would be a sneaky play this year. I have had Ingram on my team the entire time until the end and even mentioned that no one was talking about him so I dropped him. At least I kept him in my fantasy teams.

Sunday night didn't move my score much - a little concerned about Conner but the game got away from the Steelers.

238 + (Carr - 46.8) + (Jacobs/Duke - 12.3/16.3)

-QG

 
205.8 plus one of (Duke/Trequan/Waller - 7.5) and (one of the two leftover from that trio -5.8)

I’m sure there are a lot of members of the 1QB + Foles support group right now. I need him back before week 9 when Goff goes on his bye. 

Oh yeah, and I need Goff to light it up every week from now til then. 

Signed,

Early Exit as Usual

 
It's probably not a great sign when you get exactly zero points from your top QB, RB, 2 WRs, TE, kicker and defense.  

Scored 213 entirely on the backs of cheap guys (Carson being the most expensive counting)

Top scores other than Lamar were from a $10 and a $9 TE.

Shot my wad this week with no help from my RBs: 289.7

Lamar

Guice/Sproles (Jacobs tonight)

Watkins/Desean/Hollywood Brown

Andrews/Hooper

Prater

Colts

 
Hanging around 238 with only L Murray (-10 / replace Chubb) but I guess there will not be a cut line will be since there only 12,538 entries 

Week 1 Cut was at 13,500 so everybody gets a free pass....  (can I save mine for later?)

That's a good thing IMO. Your studs will stay true to their averages. The fact that your cheap guys can fill in is great to see

you sure did!  Lamar and Hollywood will make or break you in the tough weeks i predict. I scored 223 (at this point) with Maholmes, McAfrrey, DeseanJax, Crowder and TE Engram leading the way. My big miss was having both Bear RBs (Montgomery and Cohen) combine for 13.  I guess Duke Johnson will surpass Cohen's 5 to give me 230+

 
204 with two people playing tonight, need 13+ to improve my score. My flexes might both be TE, depending on Waller.

140 with RBs: Kamara, Jacobs + TEs: Waller, Cook + K Oakland remaining.

I'm not getting very deep into this contest...

 
Pretty Anemic....183 + Kamara - 14 + Duke Johnson - 12 heading towards mediocrity.
I think people are overreacting a bit to the high scores.  I am at 189 and feel fine, as weekly cutoffs are sure to plummet.  My 2 QB's blew chunks though - Goff & Winston.  As long as neither loses their job, they will bounce back.  Let's see how week 2 goes.

 
Do you guys think the higher scores this week are due to smaller, more stud filled teams? I assumed scores would go down since the margin of error on our teams would make it tougher (due to less players). I guess the stud filled line ups worked in week 1

Higher scores due to monster games from a handful of highly owned players.  My guess is cutoff for week 2 will be 160ish.  Last 5 years week 2 cutoff has been 164, 139, 147, 146, and 140.

I don’t think so. I have a 24 man roster and was at 269. It was just (a) highly owned guys going off and (b) a lot of guys going off. I had an unused 32 and 29 @ QB, for example. Lots of guys had big QB scores this week  

 
214.50 I'll take it. My RB had a bad day over all but the arrow is pointing up on McCoy/Singletary.  

Engram/Waller TE combo looks deadly.

My feelings exactly.  I'm at 196 with sub-standard weeks from Goff/Ben and Kelce. On the other hand, all 5 of my RBs and 5 of my 7 WRs scored in double figures (and MVS just missed that cut). I'll take steady, sustainable totals over unlikely to be repeated huge scores at this point.

Everyone of my position players scored double digit points along with my K and D.  I would have been eliminated if this was week 2.
