I wish I could start more running backs. I've got 5 RBs worth starting, about 1 and a half wide receivers and 0 quarterbacks

Narrowly managed 6-1 this week. I'll take it. I was within striking distance of a 7-0, but Aaron Jones.

hi-five 7-0 brother

I'm having my best IBL year to date, currently 36-6. For this week, that's good for first overall in IBL (along with most points scored). I'll take it while it lasts, as I just lost Dissly for the season. Fortunately I have Kittle and Hooper to continue on at TE.

In my case I don't think it's sustainable, my team has some large weaknesses that have been papered over by some crazy individual performances and good value on late round running backs. My tight ends and quarterbacks are total garbage and my wide receivers are inconsistent

Well this is starting to come true even though I did get incredibly lucky having some opponents score quite low. Left about 40 points on my bench in the form of Stefon Diggs and MVS and only scored ~102 points.

Incredibly, that was enough to go 5-2 and just barely after the Patriots defense again scored like 25 points on MNF. I beat one guy by 2 points and one guy by .18 points

Also managed to add Vance McDonald and added Andy Dalton to my terrifying quarterback group of Kyle Allen and Jacoby Brissett this week, I'm just kind of taking shots in the dark as all my original tight ends and quarterbacks are injured. Having a lot more fun with this now that I can get the live scoring, it's bizarrely captivating to watch your score go up.

There's a Will Fuller available right now to add in waivers, he's been a pretty decent piece for me even if I don't use him every week. Right now he has a hamstring but someone might be interested in stashing him for later.

I got paranoid about QB, so had Stafford and Minshew waiting in the wings when Ryan died. I notice that even in a circumstance where I can play 4 WR with PPR, I've still maintained my habit of paring back to my best WRs and grabbing any vaguely plausible RB. 4 WR and 7 RB, right down to JD McKissic, just in case.

Stafford's looking pretty strong recently. I've actually gotten pretty good service from Allen and Brissett, better than I had any right to expect really. Would've lost almost all my games last week if Brissett hadn't pulled a 4 touchdown game out of his rear end

You know, overall team SA is in third place and near striking distance for second:

I went 2-5 this week, actually had more points than my 5-2 finish last week but my opponents mustered a lot of 150 and 160-point scores. Like I said earlier, my team is sick on the inside and wants to come down to earth now

I was relying on Brandin Cooks, who got popped on literally his first catch of the game, didn't bring it in and left with a concussion while Kupp had a record breaking day against a lovely Bengals defense. Sigh. Starting MVS was a poor idea as well, although I didn't have anyone on my bench who would've given me enough points to win more than one more game.

Yeah I think I went 2-5 last week again because my quarterback got injured right away and earned me like 1 point.

This week looks tough too, a lot of guys on bye or injured for me but I still have a decent chance to get a good score

Yeah, to stay competitive, you need to average 120 per week or above. That’s a good baseline. Keep at it, team!

Yeah. It's just luck. I went 0-7 with 113 a couple weeks back. Would have won 3 or 4 wil 104 this week. I was underwater early on averaging 134 as well. I feel like it should average out, and I suppose it does across teams, but man, I seem to get the hard dudes. My PA would be the second highest scorer on our team.

I sent out tons of offers all over the place first 3 weeks. Didn’t even get a counter on 99% of them and the one I did was basically like Duke Johnson and ARob for Barkley.

I thought trades would be flying around all over the place, especially inner team (still abiding the trade rules) to help build up a better group of teams.

Trades happen a TON during draft season, but most IBL participants are in several other leagues, so trades fall off in-season.

I haven't received a single trade offer on the IBL site and almost all others on team FS haven't, either. Odds are if you send a trade to active IBL people you'll at least receive a response on site.

As for in-team coordination before the intraboard deadline, well, that's up to the team. Team FS usually fills holes post-draft but pre-season.
