I've heard LaFell recommended by far the most frequently. I like Kroft too, though

I’m guessing since it’s WR to cover a WR spot.

Not everyone probably moved AB to flex to give them more options hah.

Starting Crowder over Evans somehow ended up being the right move as well.

If only I was smart enough to start Gordon over Julio as well lol

I need Bell, Graham, & Elliott to combine for 40 points for me to get the #1 seed in my BML this week.

Thanks Brady for doing who the crap knows what today and not helping me out at all.

I'm down by 24.42 points and they have AJ Green and Shazier left.

I have Mixon, Jeffrey, Elliott(two t's, who knew) on offense and Kirkpatrick and KJ Wright on defense left.

Even knowing Red Rocket is a primetime dumpster fire I still feel nervous...

did you watch the game? he was mostly terrible, going 0 for his first 5 targets and the immediately fumbling his first catch.

I'll give you the target volume, though, and that TD saved his day; but anyone who started him over Patterson is still crazy.

I mean, the rec was for 5 points with some upside. He got 9.4, so I feel like you can safely count that one in Drunk Nerds favor.

The rec was for 5 points with some upside, and to start him over any other Raiders receiver. A man with four career catches. That is not a sensible recommendation. It worked out, and that's swell, but that doesn't make the original suggestion good advice: it makes it very lucky advice.

It's like if I tell someone "hey don't play roulette, the house edge is crazy" and they they go ahead and play roulette and win a dollar. Was I wrong after all?

Here's the team's receiving stats for tonight:
pre:
			REC	YDS	AVG	TD	LONG	TGTS
Cordarrelle Patterson	4	97	24.3	0	59	4
Clive Walford		4	57	14.3	0	26	4
Seth Roberts		5	46	9.2	0	18	6
Johnny Holton		3	39	13.0	1	16	7
Marshawn Lynch		2	20	10.0	0	21	3
Jamize Olawale		2	14	7.0	0	9	2
Jared Cook		1	9	9.0	0	9	5
Jalen Richard		1	5	5.0	0	5	3
Isaac Whitney		0	0	0.0	0	0	1
Add in a fumble on one of Holton's catches. He got more targets than he deserved, and was extremely lucky to have a TD instead of any of the other players; otherwise he was behind all of the other WRs on the team. And keep in mind Patterson often gets carries, Walford is a tight end, and Roberts is bad at being a football wide receiver.

I'll give Drunk Nerds props: he called it on the volume play, and if anyone started Holton on that advice, I'm happy for them! But yeah no, man, nobody should have started him over Patterson and probably not over Seth Roberts either.

In my main league, he went undrafted, and I was sooo close to grabbing him week 4. Instead, I would up with Jermaine Kearse or some garbage man that I dropped after a week or two, and my multi-year nemesis has ridden him from bottom or 2nd from bottom of the league to a matchup vs me this week for 3rd place. Easily my single biggest regret this fantasy year :saddowns:

I picked him up off the wire in week 2 in all of my leagues, including for $0 in my FAAB league somehow.

I'm already wondering what his ADP is gonna be in 2018.

Bell
Brady
Evans
Ingram
Julio

I’ll probably still ride with Bell since it’s final year I can keep him, but gonna suck saying goodbye to all of them.

I realized it's gotten out of control. I realize I'm out of control.
I'll be glad to say goodbye to Julio in all of my keeper leagues next year. Having owned him for the past 3 or 4 years, I feel like he's a bit overrated. Physically he is probably the prototypical perfect receiver, but for fantasy purposes he's the most boom or bust "locked in" WR1 out there. He'll always finish in the top 10, but he'll do that by scoring you 4 points for three weeks in a row and then blowing up for 50 points the 4th week.

If AB doesn't play tonight I'll get the #8 seed and face the #1 seed who's team is currently completely decimated by injuries and put up 75 points this week.. If AB plays I'll most likely get the 7th seed and have to face a guy who just scored 210 points this week and will have Alex Smith and Tyreek Hill running vs Oakland's defense.

Didn't see any games this week, but my injury/suspension riddled team with DT/Devante Parker/Jacquizz/Jordan Howard starting got annihilated. The only bright spot was Gronk, and I saw in his post-game blurb that he went apeshit and might get suspended.

I swear to loving god if he gets suspended for week 1 of the playoffs...

e: There's no way he doesn't get suspended for that. It was about as dumb a move as I've seen in a long time. It wouldn't surprise me if BB suspends him either way.



I'm 3/4 making playoffs, and will be 4/4 if Bell doesn't put up 22 pts tonight in .5 ppr.

I feel like that's about a 50/50 prop, so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Just sucks because that team was 8-2 and cruising. Ah well, losing DJ early and Zeke late may have been too much.

3 out of 4 in playoffs this year with the 4th being the league where I dumped a ton of money on DJ (and most of my FAAB after that on Cohen, Carson, & Allen trying to fill the gap). Lost like 7 in a row but now that team is rolling just too late.

In my BML league Bell has to score 27 points for me to get the #1 seed and a bye next week. He's only done that in our scoring once this year so I'm going to end up probably with the #3 seed and playing. A big FU to Brady for not throwing any TD's and an even bigger FU to me for trading Wilson for Brady because he had a better playoff schedule. Out of all the trades I made, I think that is going to the be the one that bites me in the rear end and costs me money this year.

Yeah I'm expecting him to get suspended for that dumbass move. I'm probably going to have to roll out Ben Watson. I just hope my fantasy playoff week 1 opponent is the guy that I just rolled this week (which I think, if I did my math correctly, will be the case).

Moved from the #6 seed to the #1 seed in my BML with that XP from Jake Elliott last night. If I can survive the Week 15 Semifinal look out....

QB Brees/Stafford (Rodgers)
RB Gordon/Perine/Morris/M. Davis (Zeke)
WR Thielen/R. Anderson/JuJu/Agholor
TE Kelce
K Elliott/Boswell
D Stream

Made the playoffs in all my money leagues as the 1 seed in 2 leagues, and advanced to the 4 team semifinals as the 2 or the 3 in the other one. Literally have no meaningful games next week, which is very strange.
