Playing in the championship game - and who are you starting that you got off waivers during the season? (1 Viewer)

[The Dude]

Two years ago I played and won the championship with 4-5 guys I got off waivers in the final month.

This year just RoJo (benching Cordarrelle)

Same for me - RoJo.  Went very WR heavy and grabbed Swift as my only "name brand" RB, but then got lucky with Conner solidifying my RB2 slot up until last week. 

 

[Gilroy34]

My starting line up has been primarily waiver wire adds the past 5-6 weeks.  Somehow I made the championship and will be starting a mix of either Jacoby Meyers, Van Jefferson, Michael Gallup, KJ Osborn at WR, all waiver adds.  Other waiver adds starting will be Ertz, Badgley, and Dallas D.  I may also play Ogunbowale as a RB.

 

[BobbyLayne]

QB Hill or Huntley Somebody off the WW is usually the case. I've won titles with Blake Bortles and Alex Smith QBs emerge every year but if I miss out streaming has served me well.

no RBs. or WRs - had solid starters and good depth, but even still, thanks to COVID Braxton Berrios saved my season last weekend. He's not on the roster this week (no loyalty in FF.) It will be the 6 players I drafted for Championship Week (WR WR WR RB RB Flex.)

TEs - Everett - the plan was Hock. then most of Nov and Dec I was rolling with Freiermuth. Both were toast for the playoffs.

K - bc they're kickers, I've probably had 10. Think it's Gould this week? IDC it rarely matters. 

DST - I always stream, but by October end up with a pair. ARI/DEN early, then rolled with NE and MIA most of the year (except they were on the same bye so CLE one week and it worked out great.) This position matters a lot to me bc I find it fairly predictable based on matchups and I usually have an advantage over my league mates.

I drafted Zeke and Aaron Jones but more recently I'm starting guys like Penny, Michel, Jeff Wilson, Miles Sanders/Any Philly RB I now have Boston Scott but he's not ranking too high yet this week. And how could i forget my 1 week rental of Justin Jackson and Alexander Mattison I've gotten to use a couple times, I just cut him with Cook active and ready to roll this weekend. 

Defense and getting my hands on New England and Buffalo has been vital, I don't believe I drafted either of them but figured out quickly they were going to feast on similar schedules. 

 

[Deamon]

49ers defense

 

[TampaMike19]

Sony Michel

Brandon Aiyuk has been pretty clutch

Justin Jackson and Josh Palmer last week 

Michel and Aiyuk were dropped too early

 

[That one guy]

Dare Ogunbowale…this week and championship will be his first and only start.  Run hard, big man, run hard!

 

[candian fantasy guy]

A St Brown and S Michel 

 

[IHEARTFF]

RoJo

A-R St Brown

Penny

Darrel Williams 

Gerald Everett

 

[J R]

Probably Wilson and Penny

 

[joffer]

Picked up Jones.  Gotta start him.

 

[Largent72]

Darrell Williams (I drafted CEH and Williams went undrafted and grabbed him first day of waivers), Javonta Williams (someone dropped him early in the season), Berrios in my flex - league scoring gives return yards. 

 

[rockaction]

Believe it or not, my starting lineup will be all guys I drafted except for my Team Defense. 

We're running a 1 QB 1 RB 2 FLEX 2 WR 1 Team Defense arrangement

I'll be staring Josh Allen, Najee Harris, Dalvin Cook, Joe Mixon, Antonio Brown, and Brandin Cooks. PHI will be my team defense. 

Interesting the way this game works sometimes. That's a heckuva draft, I guess, though there have been pick-ups like Elijah Mitchell that got me through some lean times. I also drafted James Robinson and Chris Godwin, two guys who propelled me there. 

My bench is all WW guys at this point. 

 

[TZMarkie]

AMON RA ST. BROWN/ SUN GOD ................ I forget where I heard, but he has been a top 4 WR the last 4-5 weeks.

HUNTER RENFROW has given a LOT of owners so much more than what they drafted. He literally helped save a season after the  Ruggs incident.

TZM

 

[GroveDiesel]

Picked up Penny this week and will likely start him over Pollard and Mitchell.

 

[Truebluey]

Pretty much my whole team in the 'ship are waiver wire adds:

QB Taysom Hill

RBS Sony Michel, Elijah Mitchell

WRs  Antonio Brown, Van Jefferson

TE Dawson Knox

I was basically carried all year by my 2 draftees I still have - Kupp and CeeDee

 

[travdogg]

Starting 2 of Howard, Scott, burkhead, or jaret Patterson at RB this week. Had Fournette/James Robinson starting most of the year, with the occasional mattison, or Khalil Herbert fill in start.

Of course, the other starters are Josh Allen, Tyreek hill, stefon diggs, Tee Higgins, George kittle, and 1 of Mike Evans or Dawson Knox at flex.

 

[stlrams]

Starting Schultz, foreman and j Wilson.  Yes I’m desperate at running back after losing Henry and g Edwards then gaskin gets benched. 

 

[Houston turmOiler]

I started Cordarrelle Patterson all season after picking him up before week 2, but he's going to slide to the bench this week for Dillon. I'm likely going with either Gabriel Davis or (gasp) Robbie Anderson in my last WR spot though. With Theilen and Eli Moore out I was going to use Osborn until the Cousins news. Pickings are pretty slim.

 

[Wrigley]

Huntley 

Everett

K/D

 

[Sam Quentin]

Other than RB2, K, DsT, it will be guys I drafted

RB2 will be between Mitchell, Foreman, Freeman, Burkhead…all of whom came from waivers.

 

[Zow]

Hunter Renfrow is probably the primary. 
 

Other lesser impact ones but may be starting this weekend:

Rex Burkhead 

Van Jefferson 

Ronald Jones

 

[Zow]

Dalton Schultz 

 

[Murph]

Drafted: Aaron Rodgers, Jonathan Taylor, Michael Pittman, Mark Andrews, Zach Ertz, Buffalo Defense

Traded For: Joe Mixon, Davante Adams

Waivers/Free Agent: Christian Kirk, Greg Joseph

Dalton Schultz was also a key pickup but not rolling with him this week.

 

[kyoun1e]

R. Penny and either T. Huntley or T. Lance.
