Keenan Allen's first quarter: 0 rec 0 yds
Tony Pollard's first quarter: 5 carries, 7 yds

Cool cool cool cool cool

I have the 3rd most points in the league this week and I'm losing to the 2nd most. :smith:

Players named Josh Allen account for over 40% of my total.

I'm against Diggs (3 TDs), Kyren (2 TDs), and McCaffrey (2 TDs in the first quarter so far). To top it off, my opponent's kicker got 18 points. :rip:

I didn’t get to watch the Dolphins game, but I think I’m going to bench waddle and run 3 RBs (Montgomery, Jacobs, and Kamara)

At least I paired up my worst week with playing against the guy who is on track to have the highest scoring game all season. Nothing I did was getting me a W this week.

If I pull a win off this week its because I never doubted in the Cowboys D/ST. Despite grabbing the Colts D/ST off lots of advice I read. But I ran the Cowboys, because even without Trevor Diggs, they are still pretty decent. Sometimes they score 35 pts, sometimes they score -2.

Nice, my team got their poo poo together and pulled out a lead with my opponents Josh Jacobs and SF kicker left and then the refs and loving Josh McDaniel’s incompetent rear end just most likely wrapped a win in a bow for him and handed over

3-0 this week barring Seattle D scoring 50 points tomorrow (which is probably in Dimes’ range of outcomes lol)

I keep winning extremely fraudulent games in one league. This week my opponent missed that Watson was out because he just got married and isn’t paying attention at all. I won by like 5 points despite him starting Montgomery and having written the week off since Thursday night. The bill is gonna come due cause this team is bad but for now it is very funny. Dallas D is easily my most consistently good player.

I never get to be the poo poo team everyone is mad at for over performing. Feels good man :smuggo:

I hemmed and hawed about whether to start Higgins or Waddle today, and it turns out that wasn’t a very important decision after all.

I did start mostert instead of Achane though…

And holy crap, 13 receptions for Kamara?!?

Yeah, he got a lot of small receptions, but the Saints offense looked like crap.

I’ve kept Christian Kirk on my bench all season and Lockett in as a starter. Unless Lockett rips off 15 or more points think it’s time they switch places.

I've lost games like that... and then won a few days later when the stat correction happens. Usually it's IDP related, like a tackle being turned into an Assisted Tackle (1.0->0.5) but there's always a chance some yardage got miscounted in your (dis)favor!

Welp I have found myself in the start Richardson against Aaron Donald, or start TLaw in London. Not happy with either of those choices but I think I’m gonna roll with Richardson?

Stuck with Richardson and it seemed like the dead wrong choice going into the 3rd quarter of the Colts/Rams game, but he turned it around and I would have lost if I started TLaw. What is this good decision making?


Well, not all good. Definitely should have waited a week to dump the Jags D/ST for the Colts :v:

If you're not rostering Burrow you have no idea how bad he's been, because you're understandably not paying as much attention. You simply can't play him right now. I suppose you hold through the bye and see what comes out of it, but he looks horrible. He wasn't carrying a designation into this week's game against the Titans, and he scored 4.7 points!

I built my fantasy team with a bunch of lions, including Goff as my primary QB. He’s been pretty good and consistently getting me high teens/low 20s in points, but just to be safe I am dropping Stafford as my backup and hopefully picking up Stroud from waivers

Hopefully Jamo pops off next week too

:rip:

Last year I was winning going into the final moments of the last game (I think we both coincedentally were all done after the Sunday afternoon games). Only the Colts and somebody (Commanders maybe?) were still playing, I had the Colts defense, my opponent had nobody. ESPN had been showing 99% win probability for a while. The Colts defense allowed a TD in the closing seconds of the game which put me behind by less than 1 point and I lost. That was a "go directly to the liquor cabinet, do not pass Go, do not collect $200" kind of loss.

e: yeah it was Washington, last minute QB sneak by Heinicke. lol. This is definitely not burned into my brain as an all time tilting loss or anything :shepicide:

Burrow is playing through a calf injury that has taken away a lot of his mobility.

burrow needs to have complete mobility given how awful their offensive line is. that, plus their defense regressing after overperforming last season. and now, higgins is hurt, meaning teams will practically double-team chase. he's still talented enough to break the double-teams, but it won't be as easy.

things are not looking up for them.
