2017 FF Thread

So this year was about the biggest drag of FF ever. I had zero RB after David Johnson went down and Elliot didn't get suspended, grinded the entire season, set a record for waiver wire moves and managed to get to a "win and in" situation this last week. I had Theo Riddick but after doing some reading, I thought Tion would get goal line carries and plugged him in the line up and pulled out Theo.

Lost by 15. What a grind this season has been. I've never had to manage an entire season streaming RB and chasing handcuffs and hoping for injuries, but somehow I managed to miss on every RB that became available or had them too early or too late to be useful. Sigh.

Believe me, going 11-2 and losing in the first round is worse. **** fantasy football, lol.

Weekly H2H is such a crap shoot. I can't stand smack talk in general, but some people just sound like idiots. Teams separated by 3 games with ~equal PF with a decidedly PA differential...people just can't reason that a TON of 'who you play' any given week has a great influence. I'll always quantify my good records with a dash of salt. I might've won 11 games...but I'm betting I wasn't high score of the week 11 times.

Rodgers or Roethlisberger?

I want to play Rodgers, but Big Ben is on a hot streak. Plus, I can potentially counter his Antonio Brown a bit.

Based on my year, I would maybe do the opposite of what I think you should do. But NE is giving up the third most points to the QB position and Big Ben is averaging close to 25 points a game in fairly standard scoring the last 4 weeks. All signs point to Big Ben.

Need 1 for Flex in a PPR league.

Sammy Watkins, Corey Coleman or Mike Davis

Rams rush D is among the worst in the league. I like David a lot this week, or if not this week then never

That is strange!

They went from being a top defense/bottom offense to being a top offense/bottom defense.

Nothing like starting Kareem Hunt and still managing to lose.

Post #592 » by **humanrefutation** » Mon Dec 18, 2017 12:56 am

50 points from Gurley and my opponent losing Antonio Brown just put me in the final.

Iheartfootball · Post #593 » by **Iheartfootball** » Mon Dec 18, 2017 2:00 am

I have both Gurley and Hunt.

Hope I didn’t blow my load this week.

That last drive by Carr probably put me in the Title Game for sure. I have a 40 point lead and my opponent only has Matt Ryan left.

Unfortunately I have Antonio Brown and Devante. I’ll be settling for 2nd, but still making a little bit of dough.

Good for you. I have my league's high score by a country mile, but didn't get a 1st round BYE. Lost last week because of a combination of Kamara getting concussed, Gurley going nuts and Boswell having the night of his frickin' life. So frustrating. I have the high score again this week, but in the consolation bracket. Would have unleashed a Kamara/Zeke/Hunt trio in the 'ship next week for the pot. :banghead:

Well what the hell, didn't see them being down like that.

Put up the most points I have all year this week, but got outscored by 30 pts (140 to 170) opponent had Hunt and Gurley. Sucks that the other semifinal matchup teams didn't even break 100. Just my luck this year.

Sky Bucks · Post #598 » by **Sky Bucks** » Mon Dec 18, 2017 9:26 pm

Making it to the fantasy final for these next 2 weeks with a RB trio of Zeke/Gurley/Ingram, let's get it done. :thumbsup:

Snuck into the playoffs on the last week and have dropped 158 and 165 (ppr) in b2b weeks get in the final. The team I'm playing has Bell/Gurley and other studs though so it's going to be tough sledding.

No worries. I ended up losing but it had more to do with AB going down and my opponent had both Gurley and Melvin Gordon and they both went crazy. Oh well.
