Someone tell me why I should keep VJax on my bench.

Mike Evans is getting Patrick Peterson next week so that might be VJax's *one good game* this year

We have random weekly prop bets and this week's is most bench points. I am in position to win it and since I currently don't have a second QB, I could pick up Gabbert or Keenum. Never something I thought I would debate so I am liking these random prop bets. Thoughts?

Don't pick up either so there's no chance you end up with a -2 from either of them. :roflolmao:

That's a nice set of 11 dynasty points there, it would be a shame if 3 rings were to happen with it
no way in goddamn hell the 49ers do enough to give Keenum a negative

this and Will Fuller's performance today kept me from jumping off the ledge after Keenan Allen suffered that season ending injury.

Welp, if Carlos Hyde and Antonio Brown score 30 points or less, then I win my first week. I don't feel confident, despite the predictions being in my favor.

Here's some "way too bold" predictions for this year.

1. Devonta Freeman will have fewer rushing yards this year than Ameer Abdullah.
2. At most, only a single one of the "tier 1" Running Backs in ppr (David Johnson, Gurley, Miller, and Zeke) will actually finish in the top 5.
3. Derrick Henry will have more touchdowns and a higher yards per carry than DeMarco, and will be the starter by the end of the season.
4. Thomas Rawls will gain 1,000 yards from scrimmage.
5. Jerick McKinnon will have his first 20-carry game this season.
6. Tyler Ervin (RB94) will have a better year than Javorius Allen (RB53).
7. Larry Fitzgerald is once again being underdrafted (i.e. will finish better than WR27 in ppr).
8. Keenan Allen finishes top 5 in targets.

9. Kenny Stills (Rank WR69) has a better year than DeVante Parker (Rank WR38)
10. Malcolm Mitchell (ranked WR85) will be one of the top 3 rookie receivers this year.
11. Willie Snead (ranked WR40) will finish in the top 25 among ppr WRs.
12. Zach Miller (TE18 ADP) and Charles Clay (TE 21 ADP) both finish in the top 10 among TEs. Martellus Bennett does not.
13. Matthew Stafford (QB 17 ADP) and Jay Cutler (QB 28 ADP) are the two quarterbacks that beat their draft position by the biggest margin.
14. Danny Woohead catches more passes this year than Travis Kelce.
15. Either the Jacksonville Jaguars or the Oakland Raiders finish top 10 in team rushing yards (last year: 27 and 28 respectively)

I'm winning one league by 23.3 pts with no players left and my opponent has Jordan Reed and the Rams defense to go.

I'm losing another league by 18 pts where my opponent has only Chris Boswell left and I have Jordan Reed and the Rams defense to go.


Fantasy football is weird.

That second team was already not great, and it just lost Keenan Allen for the year. Awesome. I wish it wasn't the league I cared the most about. :(

I loving hate my team this year and I actually wanted to lose this week to get dibs on any Week 1 breakouts off the wire. I was projected to get smashed this week and now I'm sitting on 101 in standard ESPN scoring (second best in the league) with the Rams DEF still to play. Not only that, I have Charles and Eifert on my bench as well as Abdullah (17), Matthews (17) and Snead (23).

Praying for every week to be like this.

I'm up on my opponent by 10.59 points and he still has DeAngelo Williams to play. This is the guy who left Chris Ivory (out) in his lineup and is being propped up by Andrew Luck's 44.5 points (well and the good play of the rest of his team: Jeffery, Nelson, Moncrief, Witten, Baltimore D).

Russell Wilson was my keeper. I kept him instead of Jamaal Charles, Sammy Watkins and Amari Cooper.

Then I remembered how Russell started the season last year. He's going to put up all the points once I'm mathematically eliminated from the playoffs.

Yeah, but how many people are likely to be looking for a QB after Week 1? And if Rivers would have been available then there would have been plenty of serviceable options on the wire.
