This week I have 70+ points on the bench and will still win by 70+ points. :shrug:

Eifert was supposed to be a solid lock for TE on my team, but his persistent injuries have me considering dumping him. Is Jesse James (PIT) in a non-PPR league a worthwhile exchange? I just want like 5 to 6 points per game, at this rate.

No but lookup Ben Watson.

Moneyball: Jul 11, 2005; It's a problem you think we need to explain ourselves.

So is Jordan Reed definitely not playing tonight? I left Brate on the bench and still have time to drop Palmer for either Vernon Davis or Jermaine Gresham.

Same. Diggs in one league, Thielen in the other.

Have Diggs, Watkins, and T. Taylor on the bench with Siemian playing. I still might squeak out a win somehow.

Silly Burrito: Nov 27, 2007; SET A COURSE FOR
THE FLAVOR QUADRANT

A weird cross question, but does anyone know of a site that allows you to type in scores and have a 80s high score screen generated?

Something like this:

I only ask because I have the new highest score in the league and I wanted to throw some 80s flair into it. I found an flappy bird online generator, but it's not the same.

That late round Chris Carson pickup in all my leagues is probably the best late round pickup ever.

Doobie Keebler: May 9, 2005

Diggs and Mariota combined for 60 points on my bench. I'm going to lose to a team with two starting players on IR. The worst part? My first thought was "Well if Witten puts up 20 and Dak and Crabtree lays eggs I can still win". I keep setting myself for disappointment.

illcendiary: Dec 4, 2005; Damn, this is good coffee.

Sat Jordan Howard and Demarco Murray for Jonathan Stewart and Buck Allen because I was scared off by injuries/defenses. Wow I am such a god drat idiot.

Also dropped Jamaal Charles to pickup Jonathan Stewart to start Stewart over Chris Hogan.

Shame. There were quite a few of us letting everyone know that Crabtree is the Oakland steal at WR.

I was gifted Cooper in round 3 of a 12 man league and still didn't like picking him.

I grabbed him at the end of the 2nd. Looking over him last season it seemed like he had a lot of potential, and his floor was basically where he was being drafted. Getting Gurley in the third was nice.

This was me last year. Never again for me. That guy is not good. At actual football maybe. Definitely not fantasy football.

Cam Newton hasn't done much lately and basically cost me one of my leagues this week, and I feel like I have to do something at QB. There are 2 obvious options:

(1) Tyrod Taylor, Trevor Siemian, Deshaun Watson, and Jared Goff are available. I can drop Ravens D/ST, Pats D/ST, Cam Newton, Kendall Wright, or Jordan Matthews. I'm leaning towards dropping Ravens D/ST and grabbing Taylor and maybe going QBBC.

(2) One of the owners in my league drafted both Tom Brady, and Aaron Rodgers. They are weakest at WR (I'm pretty stacked there), but kind of weak overall. I usually go pretty cheap on QBs, so I'm not sure how much to value Brady and Rodgers compared to the WW dudes, and factoring in what I'd be losing. My guess would be that it'd be fair-ish to give up 2 of Willie Snead, Martavis Bryant, Doug Martin, and Jacquizz Rogers, offering no more than 1 RB. Am I evaluating this right?

Thanks!

IMO Ravens D isn't consistent enough to keep over just streaming whoever is playing a dog.

decypher: Aug 23, 2003; Who else see da leprechaun say yaaaa!

I have a question and I'm pretty sure I know the answer. It's an age old question every fantasy owner eventually asks themselves. Brandon Marshall or Kendall Wright? I know. This is the stuff that separates. This is what legends are made of.

Oh, the answer that I'm pretty sure I know is "go gently caress yourself."

If you have to get a Marshall involved just to figure out the Wright answer, then it's time to accept your fate.

Washington always seems to have these great passing down guys. Roy Helu was quietly one of the best pass catching backs in the league for a while before a single year of misuse in Oakland was enough to kill his career.
