Yeah, we had to know it was coming. No preseason and very little conditioning before stepping into live games. There will be a lot of ACLs, hamstrings, and groin injuries.

This is why I had to draft my handcuffs even if it meant reaching early on them. Took David Johnson and Duke Johnson in consecutive picks, same thing with Montgomery/Cohen. Took Davis with my 2nd or 3rd to last pick. I actually did the same thing with my WRs Cooper/Lamb.

Not touching Dion Lewis with Freeman being signed today. It's already a bad offense anyways and who knows what they will do at RB.

PPR WR/TE spot: Engram vs SF, Shenault vs MIA or Ruggs vs NE?

Ruggs probably?...... Honestly though I'm not high on any of the 3 though so flip a coin.

Better QB option going forward, Deshaun Watson or Ryan Tannehill?

this week? Tannehill.

rest of season? i'd still go with Watson. Better days/games ahead for Houston. Literally murderers row weeks 1-3 vs KC, Balt, Pitt.

So I got a flex conundrum this week, just like every week.

In a .5PPR league do I go David Montgomery or Dionte Johnson? These 2 always seem to be damn near next to each other on rankings/projections/my own love, that it’s impossible for me to decide.

So I usually don't take QBs early but Mahomes was sitting there at the first pick of the third round and I had to take him. I thought "well at least I will outscore my opponents at QB on the average week."

So far I have faced:

Josh Allen
Ryan Tannehill
Russell Wilson

Averaging 4tds/400+ yards

Pretty pissed that I have multiple Steelers across my three leagues and Yahoo isn't going to allow the PPD to be placed on the IR spot. What a concept to make an exception this year during a global pandemic.

It is being treated like a bye week for both teams. I agree players shouldn't be allowed to be put on IR. I have one team with 4 Pitt and TN players on it. You just deal with it like any other bye week.

I'm OK with that as long as they don't end up having two byes and only playing 15 games now. I don't get the purist approach that we shouldn't be able to open up a roster spot to help out.

Cause IR in fantasy pretty much removes having to make hard decisions. Personally I hate IR in FF. It really kills the chances of finding good players on the waiver wire

Usually I would agree. In a year where we all pretty much knew there would be a bunch of hamstring, groin, and ankle injuries (due to lack of conditioning in preseason) IR is needed.

I have McCaffrey on IR now. Don't want to cut Lazard because he could come back still. Especially if the season is postponed for a couple of weeks as a last ditch effort.

Wow, thought it was a wrap with a big league heading into DK vs Lockett tonight.

Was up 45 in standard scoring with carson vs lockett and edmonds and lost :lol:

I had Adams and Lockett on the same team in one of my leagues.

LittleRooster · Post #56 » by **LittleRooster** » Tue Oct 27, 2020 1:30 am

I came into the year in dynasty having won last years championship. I have:

Mahomes
Cmac
D cook
M Thomas
M evans
Dj Moore
Aj Brown
Darren Waller

I also have Mike Davis and A Mattison as handcuffs

I’m about to be 3-4 and am thinking long term, do I need to trade Thomas, Evans, Cook, Cmac? I tried trading Evans in a deal for Lamb, which was rejected. Would love to get Tee Higgins too lol. Or do I stand pat

I lead my league in scoring and at this moment not even in the playoffs at 3-4. I have made every correct move....even started Rodgers over Mahomes this past week and benched my rbs for wrs. Never left points on the bench. The three weeks that I won I was the top scorer. Three of the times I lost I was top 3 in scoring but faced the team that was #1.

Wtf

This was the last year I played fantasy. Got so tired of consistently having the top scoring team and then finishing middle of the pack or getting bounced in round 1 of the playoffs. If I lost due to bad drafting or bench management it would be one thing but when I made the right moves and still lost it just made it not fun for me. I don't miss it and I like being able to watch Red Zone and NFL in general to just enjoy the games rather than worrying about fantasy players.

Hey guys, I have a question. I only drafted Big Ben as my qb. I picked up Minshew last week as a backup, but he is running out of favor. Tua is available, and I put in a waiver claim for him. Thoughts?

Not sure if you have tried it, but there are some leagues where you play against all teams each week. So it is like having 9 games in a 10 person league. Takes the peaks and valleys out of the situation you find yourself in. I am in the same boat this year, but luckily the ball started bouncing my way. The sad thing is I was 5 points behind the guy in first place who was 5-0 and I was 0-5. That is with Barkley, Godwin and JuJu being my top 3 picks. It is very very 2020.
