Would've liked for you Gibbs owners if he got the TD! My Lions fan buddy had both Sun God and Monty going. Not the worst scenario, but oof each of them getting the only offensive TDs of the game hurts.

Gibbs looked explosive and his usage was exactly what Campbell suggested it would be. It’ll only go up from here and he’s going to be some player.

After losing Kelce I’m pretty delighted with just shy of 9 points from La Porta too.

I think he'll blow up late in the season like Walker III did last year (for a couple of games at least).

Picking up and starting Deon Jackson turned out to be a dumb move.

He got stuffed at the 1 late in the game :negative:

I did the same thing. Over Allgeier no less.

Fields doesn’t even need to throw pass to be a good fantasy QB. Just ride his legs to the points. Same with Richardson. If they figure out how to pass even better.

The only thing I'd be worried about here is Fields is really trying not scramble like he did last year.

It's really looking like I'm going to be crippled by missing a round of my fantasy draft while on vacation and getting autodrafted two *additional* TEs. Stupid ESPN app didn't give me a notification.

My WR corps in PPR is meh, especially with Watson injured.

WR: Higgins, Watson, Mike Williams, Dotson, Meyers
RB: CMC, Henry, Stevenson, Conner, Rachaad White, Charbonnet, Dillon

Is Charbs worth dropping for Zay Jones? I feel my RB depth is very solid and I'm feeling pretty exposed at WR.

As someone who did a panic drop of Walker III last year for the same reason, DO NOT DO IT.

I'm honestly pondering rolling Bijan and Allgeier ROS.

Honestly if you're going to go with Atlanta's backfield, this is the way to go. I had Patterson and Allgeier last year and it seemed every time I started one, the other would be the hot hand that day.

I've done bidding on waivers before but it's been about 8 years since I've played fantasy football at all. Do these look alright? $100 budget, 1 ppr.

Bid $20 for Puka Nacua, drop Jalin Hyatt
Bid $8 for Justice Hill, drop Ty Chandler
Bid $8 for Gus Edwards, drop Ty Chandler
Bid $6 for Roschon Johnson, drop Ty Chandler
Bid $5 for Tyjae Spears, drop Ty Chandler
Bid $5 for Hunter Henry, drop Dalton Schultz
Bid $4 for Rashid Shaheed, drop Jalin Hyatt

I have Ekeler and Cam Akers so I'm hesitant to go after the other running backs on their teams since Ekeler may be barely hurt and I think the Rams will be a committee all year so whoever has the better game with them will be a crapshoot.

20% budget seems very steep on Puka unless you're absolutely barren at WR.

I'm with you on Allgeier. Maybe not *as* down on him. But this is looking like one of those frustrating fantasy deals where for whatever reason he goes off on your bench then nothing when you start him.

Hey guys, it’s me. I’m the jerkoff that scooped Ford up as soon as I saw Chubb’s knee bend backwards and Kyren Williams once Cam Akers was benched.

I might try to swap one or both for another qb in my super flex league to replace Carr. Would Jordan Love be a decent target? Or maybe sit a a week and see if they have another good week and try for someone better?

My other RB’s are Henry, J Cook, Mostert, and Aaron Jones who’s technically still in my IR slot

I'd totally swap Love for Carr.

e: oh whoops I totally misread this as FAAB question not trade. Still though, I'd try to swing it if Love's owner needs an RB.

I would like to somehow lock players on Yahoo and NFL.com from being dropped once their game starts, like ESPN does. We have multiple people who just churn backups like Ford and wait for injuries. It's lame, and a little bit ghoulish.

I got none of the guys lol. The two new guys in my league are actually aggressive with FAAB - they've spent 79% and 65% of their budgets - compared to how people have played the wire in the past. Next highest spends are 33% and 19%, then everyone else has spent $0-2.

I didn't *need* a new RB at this point and was mostly hoping to snag Nico Collins :shrug:

This week, KC is the #2 defense. They were on the wire. I’m ok with spending 3 out of 100 for that. Good thing because next highest bid was 2.

Yeah I'm 100% with this and don't understand the penny-pinching on weekly FAAB for K/DEF.

And this is coming from someone who is stingy with big FAAB spends (check my post history ha).

There are probably some leagues that do that, but impose a limit. The benefit being you get to either advance your roster to recoup the money spent or by not spending, get added value to your entry fee.

Hmm. So I got burned by Jacksonville's D this week. (Bad!)

But they're up against the Falcons this week. (Good!)

are people cutting bait on fields or trying to steal 1 more week against a really bad D?

Absolutely cutting bait this week. I have Tua so there's no way going forward I start Fields over him. And I need more WR depth. Plus I'm putting in a waiver claim for Achane despite having CMC, Pollard, Washington, and Allgeier (we only start 2WR so I don't carry as much depth there).

And I decided I'm going Bucs over Jags for defense this week. I don't trust screwiness of the London game despite how bad Atlanta's offense is.
