Season on the Brink (1 Viewer)

[Noah Davis]

This is a thread for all of us who think their season is at a critical juncture from starting 0-2, to 0-3, or after this week possible 0-4.

What were the causes of the situation - were they fluke performances by your opponents, is your team under performing, did you draft poorly, etc.... What have you done to try to stop the bleeding?

Here is my situation. Which I will chalk up to my opponents week 1 & 2, and nonperformance for week 3.

My team which I see no weakness in, yet I've started 0-3. The law of averages has to turn this around eventually 12 team PPR very competitive money league....

QB: P. Rivers, C. McCoy

RB: R. Rice, J.Best, M. Lynch, B. Jacobs, C.J. Spiller, S. Ridley

WR: H. Nicks, S. Holmes, N. Burleson, D. Moore

TE: R. Gonk, J. Cook

Week 1: I lost a 66 point lead to Tom Brady and Wes Welker

Week 2: I went against V. Jax, M. Austin, A. Peterson, and F. Jackson

Week 3: Rivers, Nicks, Holmes, and Burleson put up a combined 16 points....

But I just fleeced another owner and picked up M. Turner, M. Barber, and J. Shockey

I gave up B. Jacobs, C.J. Spiller, and J. Cook......hopefully I can turn it around.

Well played sir...well played.

 

[solorca]

Really hoping you turn this thing around! Can't wait for the weekly updates.

 

[runner06]

A little bit of jack assery going on in this thread. Probably would have been better to have a thread for owners to post their 0-3 teams though rather then a thread that seems like it is about your team even if your intent was to have a 0-3 team thread.

 

[LittlePhatty]

Well played sir...well played.

Thanks for having a sense of humor. A lot of people on this board seem to get offended so easily.I think Rivers will pick up the pace soon and you'll have fewer reasons to point to the shirt.

 

[mr roboto]

Well 1st pick Charles

4th pick Peyton (before the news about long time injured)

5th pick Britt (looked like great value for a while)

Injury bug... no hope I don't think.

Top players @ 3 positions out for season or likely the whole season.

Your team is in fine shape. Big come back, end 8-6 or 9-5 and squeak in.

 

[bushdocda]

I am scrambling. Lost Charles and thought between Bush, Lynch and Ingram I would have a second playable rb. Wrong.

 

[The Doctor]

my team in signature is 0-3

Tough spot bro - I'd hold on Ingram and be patient unless your 0-3 then shop him..... Watching his college games he is helluva back. With Lynch I'm holding him for 2 more weeks to see if the Rice opens up lanes, but I've got the depth to hold him. If it is R. Bush I hope you're in a PPR league.......

In PPR, if they start 2 WRs, his WR group is mediocre at best. If it's start 3 WR they absolutely blow...just saying. Although adding Turner might help with RB depth behind Rice and Best.

Would you have said that about them say Mid-August? I did draft A. Collie - but obviously that was a bust and I released him on waiver this week.

 

[jdelsas]

Here is my 0-3 team in a 10 team non-keeper PPR:

QB: Stafford, Henne

WR: R. White, D. Bryant, Manningham, E. Decker, D. Nelson, Antonio Brown

RB: Chris Johnson, F. Jones, L. Blount, D. McCluster, McGahee, Ben Tate

TE: Fred Davis

K: Bironas

DEF: New Orleans

(Currently have a waiver on NYJ defense after someone dropped him)

 

[Judge Smails]

my team is 0-3. Lots of reasons. Rivers has underperformed, and the one week he goes off he throws everything to VJax, who of course was my opponent that week. Mendenhall has been a nightmare. Nicks/Manningham nicked. Eagle D last week - uggh. Starks up and down at flex as is Hightower. Do think all of these guys will get better but my season is just about over if I don't get a W this week. As it is I need to go 7-4 at a minimum to have a shot, and that's only if I score a ton of points. My only saving grace is we play a doubleheader week - so 2 W's in a week are possible.

Nope, I wouldn't have said that in August...but this aint August, and I didn't weigh in to blow sunshine up your ### - I posted my realistic opinion of your team. If you wanted someone to tell you "Don't worry - I LOVE THESE GUYS!!", email your team to John Gruden.The post I responded to suggested that your team was fine and will finish in the playoffs. Due to your weakness at WR now, I disagree. I din't say you had a bad draft, so the defensiveness if really pretty unneccesary.

No I'm good with that - was just trying to determine if you had any previous bias - i.e. you wouldn' t have drafted those guys because you thought they were gonna ride the suck stick this year. I'd say your assessment is pretty accurate given 3 weeks of play, and I have an outside shot of making the playoffs - but its an uphill battle. I think the turner trade was the right one to make to shore up against Best getting dinged up, and being able to flex him in to lessen the impact of the nonperforming WR core.This week is make or break for me....Thanks for the input.

This is my 0-3 team in a 12man non ppr league. I am also lowest points in the league. My plan is to just sit on it because I cant trade the underperformers for anything good. I think I am good enough to still pull in 7 or 8 wins and hopefulyl sneak into the playoffs.

I am lucky I guess in the since that my players have just sucked rather then being hurt.

[rangerforme]

Ya, injuries are the 80% luck part of fantasy that no matter how smart you think you are or how much time you put in you can't predict and one play in a game can really sink you for the season especially in competitive leagues.

 

[RamMan]

I don't think I've ever been 0 - 3 in my big money auction league (my 10th year with this group). Well, I'm 0 - 3 this year. Here's my roster:

QB: Romo, Fitz

RB: Gore, Beanie, DWill, JStew, Lynch, Addai

WR: AJ, Holmes, Manningham, Moss, D. Moore

I drafted badly - didn't draft up a top flight WR becasue they were being overpaid for. Then I panicked just before the season started and traded Ray Rice/TBMW for Gore/AJ, which at the time seemed reasonable and was even endorsed by Pasquino - not that I'm blaming him - just to point out it wasn't the fleecing it looks like now. I had no idea Gore would be so bad. Yeah....go ahead and point at the shirt. My original plan was for one of DWill/Stewart/Lynch/Addai to start strong and then trade them. The whole blueprint has gone up in one stench-filled ball of smoke.

I can't trade any of these putzs becasue I won't get anything back. If I lose this weekend (and go to 0 -4) I'm putting AJ on the block. I'd need to swing for the fences. Yes, I'm getting desperate.

[TJs]

0-3 12-team no ppr thanks to early draft getting Foster and someone picked up Tate in the draft before I did (shame on me).

Other fun stuff like Hillis being out last week, Ingram being a big bowl of meh, VJax underwhelming, Mike Williams dud, Kendricks dud, and just playing good teams in general. I still think I'm in decent shape with waiver pickups and Foster coming back but I'm not really thrilled.

QB- Stafford/Rapist

RB-Foster, Hillis, Ingram, M Bush, B Scott

WR-VJax, M Williams tb, Colston, Nate Wash, Denarious Moore

TE-Owen Daniels, Pettigrew

After rereading my post, I realize it came off a bit (a lot?) harsher than I meant it to be. Honestly I DO like your team - but you desperately need Nicks to stay healthy. Ironcially, D. Moore might be your 2nd best WR - Sanchez just isn't looking for Holmes at all and Burleson seems to be losing looks to Titus Young already.After the bye weeks, you might consider moving an RB to shore up your WRs a little. As I pointed out previously, WRs are the key, imho - especially if you start 3. The reasons are fairly simple:

1) If you start 3, you need to cover 3 bye weeks.

2) I think WW WRs are easier to find a gem in the rough with.

Naaa bro it wasn't overly harsh just blunt and efficient. Like I said before though I completely agree with you...and I'm benching Holmes in favor of Moore with Turner filling the flex. My current thought was to pray that either Holmes or Burleson can string together two good performance in a row on my bench and the SELL sign will illuminate. That's how I moved Jacobs, hopefully I don't go down the suck for luck route.
