(passing on obvious best back in football Derrick Henry the last two years was bad moves)

I think I got him at pick 10 :bowtie:

Oh yeah, we purposefully avoided him at 1.05. We were dummies.

He had some reason to be avoided, IMO with the injuries. I thought at the start of the season that he wasn't too dissimilar from McCaffrey in terms of being really really good if he's healthy, but also that injury history (or in Henry's case the age/workload). It has worked out so far. Anyway, as I say this I AM KNOCKING ON ALL THE WOOD*









*not a euphemism.
 
He seems like kinda the draft equivalent of lineup-setting "never sit your studs," though. Never avoid the guy who has been THE DUDE for a couple of years. I'm glad it's worked out for him (and his fantasy owners), as I really like him.

He's a fun guy to watch too, which isn't really unique from most guys taken in round 1 of the draft, obviously they're all really good, but there's something extra fun about watching him bust through guys like they're barely there vs. watching Joe Mixon (who probably has similar results) IMO. I think this is the first year I've had him on a team.
 
We found out tonight that our upcoming "Spring Seasonal" beer in the Ontario Liquor Stores/LCBO (they're still Gov't owned here) has been approved for a feature end in 240 stores in April.

For context, our best core beer is in 120 stores and our best seasonal is/was in 150 stores. This will instantly give us the widest distribution we've ever had... 🎉🥳

In your defense, you picked Cooper Kupp instead. I went with Ekeler immediately after you. The three of them have put up almost identical fantasy points this year.

Yeah, but I think quality RBs are in even shorter supply right now as opposed to WRs. But I might be wrong about that.

I've had Henry on my team in my $ league for 4 years straight. I love watching him run. His speed is deceiving too with his large frame. Last year he had the fastest speed of any ball carrier with a 21.8 mph TD run.

I saw some stat on the Seahawks game this week saying two of the top four in speed were Seahawks (Penny and Walker). Very fun to watch!
 
I missed a pick-up last week of Juwan Johnson - TE - #83. Mr. Johnson also appears to have missed our pick-up given his performance. Anyway, since I don't like the "83" song available to us, I'll choose:

96 Tears - ? and the Mysterians

MINUS

Big Star - Thirteen

EQUALS

83


Also we now picked up the TN D/ST, because why not.

Right now, the Tennessee Volunteers are ranked #5 in the polls.
And Dolly Parton is from Tennessee, you know.

9 to 5 - Dolly Parton

There are 18 RBs vs 13 WRs with over 100 fantasy points in our format but the receiver depth comes through if you lower the threshold to 50 points where it's 59 WRs vs. 46 RBs.
 
Picked up Backup QB Case Keenum, Buffalo Bills.

Because the love of my life my first round pick Josh Allen hurt his elbow on a freak play against rockaction's freak team the Jets and is now going to be out for the year and my best option is his mother-humping backup qb and I hate the Jets and I hate fantasy football and I hate the nfl.

:deepbreath: Kool & The Gang - Emergency

Do I really have to connect the dots, you guys?

I think you need to drop Josh Allen immediately.

For KJ Osborn - Black Sabbath - War Pigs

Because Ozzie

Tyler Boyd - Taylor Swift - Shake It Off

Both are from Pennsylvania.

Garrett Wilson - Steve Miller Band - Jet Airliner

JETS! JETS! JETS!

Skyy Moore - Matisyahu - King Without a Crown

Also from Pennsylvania.

Wilson has been on her roster since he was drafted. So a second song just because?

Or was that supposed to be a song for Marcus Johnson?
Click to expand...
Might be that I'm not paying that close of attention. I'm in 15th place. Maybe he's a pinch hitter.

Justin Jefferson is the most special-ist receiver in the last fifteen years. Anyone see that catch that he made with basically one hand while taking it away from the defender?

Wow.
Click to expand...
Unreal. Honestly one of the best catches I’ve ever seen.

Rock, I‘m not sure if you heard that loud scream and commotion in your neighborhood when that happened. But I can almost guarantee it was my wife screaming*.


* she’s from Minnesota and a huge fan.

And here I thought the trucks rolled through with political candidates on their flags. Thought that was the commotion.

Krista I'll try to do the list for the other thing tomorrow.

I am drunk.

I was going to start the countdown tomorrow morning. If you think you'll have a list tomorrow, I can delay it. If you think it's unlikely, then we'll just start it.

Or, you could just send me your #31 and I'll post it tomorrow, and then add the rest. :)

You know, nevermind. I'll start it on schedule and then if you send me a list tomorrow, I'll go ahead and add yours in at that time! Hope you can send.
 
In my auction league, 8 of the 10 teams are 5-5 or 4-6. And one team is 10-0, meaning he has not only clinched the playoffs, but the 1 seed, because the worst record he can have is 10-4 and the best record anyone else can have is 9-5.

Despite being one of the 4-6 teams, I may need to see about dumping (it's a keep-4 league), as I am 1-5 in my last 6 and this week lost Kupp, Ertz and K. Herbert (plus J. Herbert has kind of sucked since his rib injury.)

Yeah that’s part of the problem with 10 team leagues imo. Typically everyone has a stacked lineup (the opposite of our league here lol).
 
Glad I bailed on this league this year, this has been the most frustrating season I think I've ever had. A couple weeks ago in my 12 team league I had 9 guys out due to injury or bye. Picked 2 guys off waivers(TE Johnson RB Foreman) just to field a lineup and somehow got high of the week and my 3rd win,lol.
Who's in the lead and what's their record?
