lol literally nobody in all of my leagues.

It's cool, Fournette is going to get 150 yards for me, all he needs is 75 carries.

Thoughts on DSTs to hold through my bye for weeks 15 and 16? I currently have the Broncos but am concerned that the loss of Sanders is going to tank the offense too much even vs CLE and OAK. There are some good options w good schedules on the waiver wire:

Saints - @CAR, PIT
Jaguars - WAS, @MIA
Texans - @NYJ, @PHI
Patriots - @PIT, BUF

Jaguars. I have them for WAS, and still kept the Bears for SF.

I dropped him a few days before the Chargers game and he put up double digit scores the next three weeks. :feelsgoodman:

This game is already nearly 50% of his total points for all his previous games combined.

And this game will likely boost his ADP next season so he won't even be a late-ish round speculative pick.

That's a nice set of 11 dynasty points there, it would be a shame if 3 rings were to happen with it

If someone was brain genius enough to start him tonight they're making a helluva run in the consolation bracket

This is sorta OCD but if you have a bye, put all the players on your bench. Then if one gets injured tonight/Sunday, you can drop him for a free agent. (on Yahoo, at least)

Honestly his usage has been trending upwards. Not sure if it matters but his next two opponents are the Giants and Redskins. That's a pretty favorable game script.

I drafted Henry 55th overall and dropped him when it seemed as if he was not good and the guy I played tonight picked him up I guess a few weeks ago and has been starting him ever since including vs me tonight.

Welp if I think about this anymore I’ll end up deleting my espn account so may as well gently caress off and do something else

I may try to get him off of waivers just to stop people from playing him against me. Not sure I'm brave enough to actually play him myself.

I picked up the Jags D because they have the Mark Sanchez Redskins next week. Now that Derrick Henry ran through the Jags secondary like they were 4th graders made of paper bags should I be terrified of starting them against AP?

No. One fluke game based off 2 busted runs does not worry me.

I feel like last night was more telling that the Jags have given up than anything else. I wouldn’t start their defense not because I’m worried about AP going nuts as I wouldn’t start them because they appear to not care.

watch the incredibly poor tackling throughout this video, it's not just two busted runs

Only about 15-20 yards of the 99-yard run were due to broken scheme. The rest of the way Henry broke THREE tackles that should all easily have tackled him.

That sounds more like the Jags sucking than Henry being insane. OTOH Henry got 17 carries and Washington might be more checked out than Jacksonville.

To be fair, you're not fending off defenders while doing that. Henry was pushing guys away from him almost the whole run, at one point running basically sideways while doing it. Jax D completely hosed up not bringing him down. I wouldn't want any part of them moving forward.

I shoulda just started the Bears instead of Jags D, gently caress.

At least my opponent started fournette. I'll call it a wash.

Damn, this is good coffee.
What do you guys do re: eliminated teams and waiver transactions (this is a FAAB league, redraft)? I’m of the opinion that as long as you have a budget, you should be able to pick up whomever you want. I think leagues are better when people stay engaged even after their season is done. It’s causing quite the kerfuffle in our league group chat.

what do you mean by eliminated? Are they still alive in the consolation bracket? Your finish in stupid consolation games decides what place yahoo is gonna say you finished in forever. If someone still has ongoing matches i wouldnt tell them they can't add/drop, as long as it's not a situation where an opponent calls up the one guy who has more FAAB$ than you to block you from adding someone, but that would always be collusion regardless.
