Better than shitting into a fan.
Flex spot dilemma in 1 PPR:

Steve Smith, Asiata, or Julius Thomas.

Leaning Smith, but he'll be less than 100% coming off of his multi-week injury.

The real lesson I learned this year us that in my 10 man 1ppr league, it is a waste of time to draft anything other than a WR or Gronk with my first three picks I could've gone Julio / Evans / Cooks with my first three picks and I am wondering why the gently caress I didn't. I don't need hindsight to know that would be a great lineup.

I don't want to sound like an rear end in a top hat (too late) but it seems like a lot of you guys made some really boneheaded RB pick ups in the draft that could have been diagnosed as not a smart pick up at the time of the draft. Ryan Mathews? Did you really think Latavius Murray was going to be worth that third round grade on a pass first team? Jamaal Charles just tore his ACL and you backed him up with Kniles Davis? I mean half the people in my league were swapping Charles and Davis back and forth for some reason. Adrian Peterson is old and busted and you still spent a first rounder?

No sympathy for anyone right now. There's barely been any injuries to solid RB options but it seems like this was the year where everyone drank the kool aid on a lot of dumb picks (I'm looking at my friend who posts on this forum and HAD to have Mark Ingram with his second rounder).

Knile Davis was KC's 4th-string back before the season. No one in any normal-sized league drafted him. What on earth are you talking about? Are you thinking of 2 seasons ago?

RB has just sucked hard for the last couple of years. If you get lucky and get a David Johnson/Zeke, great, but for the rest, it all sucks. Start a PPR (points per run) revolution.

Best five bucks I've ever spend.
I don't think I can justify starting Brandon Marshall anymore. It's time to accept that he is a bust at his ADP and move on to guys with higher potential.

Now that I say that, I'm sure he'll go off for 25 points on my bench next week.

I should actually be mad at you for that last one. I picked Walford over Hunter Henry in the Blounts and Forte's dynasty league this year because of that hype. (Not just you) I am feeling really good about my first three rounds, but that pick just keeps mocking me.

Because Dez and Booker absolutely poo poo the bed this week: I need Hauschka, Ronald Darby, and Earl Thomas to score 9pts each.

Meanwhile, Tyrell Williams sits comfortably on my bench who undoubtedly would've secured my victory.

Same, except even worse, because I had Crabs instead of Cooper. But we both should have known better, because going into the game Denver's D was #1 against the pass, but like #20ish against the run, and evidently the Oakland Raiders found out about that secret stat and exploited the everliving gently caress out of it with their actually pretty strong stable of running backs.

I am barely going to beat a guy who started CJ Anderson, Lamar Miller, AJ Green and Eifert, with Gordon on his bench. I hate it when people abandon their teams (even though I'm benefiting from it now), and this is especially annoying because this is the second year he's done this after his first loss.

I started Antone Smith over Tim Hightower. I've lost my rear end so much this season.

Fantasy Football is more random sheer poo poo luck than it is any skill or research.

The NFL has just tricked us into a ridiculously addictive game that we suck our souls into.

This of which that sucks our souls is unfortunately a black hole.

We don't know where our souls go to on the other end of the black hole.

But it certainly isn't to the playoffs.

Who cares if your lineup has Antonio Brown, Phillip Rivers, Demariyus Thomas, Kelvin Benjamin, Delanie Walker, Devante Booker, Eagles D, Josh Lambo and Antone Smith

You don't deserve 100 points.

Matter of fact, you don't deserve anything at all.

Except for a 3-6 record. And the jeers and laughter of all of those involved directed to you.

I am broken.

I blame the game flow for last night's production. Raiders defended Booker well, as the Broncos got more behind they had to try other things. He'll be fine..... I hope.

Eh, looks like it won't end up being a good move, but hard to say it wasn't warranted. I cut bait too in redraft (along with buying him for pennies in dynasty!).
