Strong stroll for a mangy stray
Really glad I didn't go with 'Ridder!? I barely know 'er' team name, that would be one of those jokes too many for a single league

three posted:

Dallas D had almost half of my opponents points.

hey that's uncalled for. it was only 31%. which is still, obviously, quite a lot haha

Made me look up the highest ever fantasy score for D/ST, apparently was the Texans back in the early 2000s with loving 54 points. But if you had started Aiyuk instead of Kirk you would've won so definitely some positives (although losing JK Dobbins, drat that stinks)

Definitely had a pretty blah week, I still hate my team overall and was extremely lucky to still prevail with 0 points from Tee Higgins and less than 5 from Daniel Jones. But I feel like there is a path to improvement even though losing Aaron Rodgers made my keeping of Garrett Wilson look like a very bad call.

I would've beaten all this week's losers and lost to every other winner so I am the platonic ideal of mediocrity. I will strive to continue living up to this expectation.

Hope this isn't another season where I keep running into the best team that week. Two seasons ago was like this, my points against total was way above anyone else in the league.

On the plus side, I would have lost no matter what. To me, that's much more comforting than a situation where I could have won if I played the right benched players.

Breece coming in hot and Addison looking good has me feeling like I’ve got extra WR and RB depth if anybody needs some. I sent out a couple offers.

Who are you interested in trading? Obviously I would be very interested in Breece Hall, but I'm not sure that's what you mean. For your bench players I could be interested in Kyren Williams, probably not David Montgomery but maybe. You could handcuff Hall with Cook perhaps.

Everybody is available. Looking to upgrade at TE or do some 2-for-2s or 2-for-1s for people who have lost players to injury and need depth.

Nice I'll take a look after this week and see if I can think of something. Trading spices things up imo

Yeah, in another league I'm in I am going to lose because I was not paying enough attention to notice Cam Akers was a healthy scratch.

Had D'andre Swift and his 27 pts on the bench :negative:

Yeah, besides *tempting fate voice* what are the odds that he's going to get you enough negative points to lose the game?

I'd normally be more upset about starting 0-2 in fantasy but the Bucs are 2-0 in reality and that makes me happy enough to not care.

yeah we don't pull poo poo like that around here. PF over everything, that way at the end of the season you can explain how you actually should've won

I left Brian Robinson on the bench too, 28 points. But, at least now I have a sense for usage and same with Swift. They'll probably be no brainer starters going forward in most situations, clearly their teams want to give the a lot of plays.

It sucks more with some third wide receiver that puts up 40 points and will never do that again in their entire career but you keep chasing that high always thinking 'this week surely they will break out again!'

I'm not sure you're even allowed to drop him, aren't players round 1 - 3 not allowed to be dropped? Or is there a condition where you can

I actually paid them to do that. Yes, I bribed the Browns organization AND yahoo fantasy football and it was not cheap but sometimes you need to make sacrifices to get the W

Looks like he's designated out now so at least you can store him in IR, although that also takes up an IR slot...

Also I'm still so mad at whoever took Nacua before I could. I wanted him so bad and I'm probably not gonna get who I want this week either because I'm addicted to abusing the waiver wire to the point that I have been told multiple times by yahoo that I'm not allowed to claim a player and then drop them for someone else.
