'canes2004 Posted October 22, 2019 Share Posted October 22, 2019 Seriously. Through 7 weeks they've scored 116 points and counting. Julio Jones? 107. I'll dump a bench player to keep them. Something I've never done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chaim Witz Posted October 22, 2019 Share Posted October 22, 2019 I was talking trade with one of the owners in our league, who really wanted Zeke (It was going to have to be a multi-player deal), but just to mess with him over those few days, we exchanged many proposals, and I kept saying that Zeke wasn't going anywhere without NE's defense coming back to me. (He is top record and highest point total in our league AND I was playing him this week). At one point he just said he wouldn't even trade NE Def for Zeke straight up, So I messaged him that I would send him Zeke, Brady, and Mike Evans, for NE Def and David Montgomery. He at least took a few hours to respond, before he replied "Man, I just can't do it. I know, I'm a moron." I told him that I was just messing with him anyway...because I would be the moron IF I actually made that trade. So anyway, I was up on him by 31 points going into tonight's game, and all he had left was NE's Def. I'll tell you what...my fart hole puckered up quite a bit tonight as they dropped 25 in that league. I was praying for Darnold to not throw another pick, a fumble, and oh how glad I am that Darnold recovered that fumble for a Safety. If he didn't, I would have actually tied... at best!😳 No matter what, Do Not Drop NE's Defense for any reason this season. Jeepers Creepers, they are unreal this year. 🙄 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gourdeau Posted October 22, 2019 Share Posted October 22, 2019 (edited) They are ranked 1st OVERALL at all positions in fantasy points in my league, 15 years, have never seen anything like it. So would you drop Patty Mahomes or Dalvin Cook on their bye? Edited October 22, 2019 by Gourdeau 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
'canes2004 Posted October 22, 2019 Author Share Posted October 22, 2019 (edited) lol. No, I'm not insane. There's plenty of end of the bench players that I can sacrifice. I would throw that bum T. Boyd out on his ass though. He's making me angry. So, I go into last night down 25.63 points. Watching El Camino on Netflix and really not playing attention to the game until the 4th quarter. Check my league and I'm 6 points back! Int here, safety there etc... and I'm less than a point from a win. I'm actually rooting for the Jets offense to get back on the field. less than 3 min. to go. Just need a sack, an int. something! 1st down nothing. 2nd down nothing. 3rd down nothing. Then they punt??? Just give up??? what the #@&^????? lose by .63.

purplemonster Posted October 22, 2019 Share Posted October 22, 2019 I know you lost by a little but it's a little crazy to expect 26 points out of your defense. That is an unreal week. Just give up they were down by 33 with a few minutes left. The only thing left at that point is getting someone injured. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So would you drop Patty Mahomes or Dalvin Cook on their bye? How is there D 1st overall, must be some heavy defensive scoring. At first I thought maybe just due to less than 6pts for passing TDs. But then I see McCaffery and Cook are 4/5 on my league's top scoring list. Pats have 112 points in my league 26 sacks, 22 turnovers, 3 TDs and 1 safety accounts for 68 of those points, the other 44 coming from points allowed bonuses (6.5/gm which equates to 4-6 points allowed). Top 5 scoring in my leauge (Pats would be about 18th) Lamar Jackson BAL QB 169 Russell Wilson SEA QB 163 Deshaun Watson HOU QB 161 Christian McCaffrey CAR RB 146 Dalvin Cook RB MIN 141 The next 10 are all QBs and still have more points than the pats, then more RB right at that total.

They have 122 points in my league but it's not first overall. Same scoring as you for the TO's, TD's and safety. But we get 10 points for a shut out (they have 2) so that could be the difference between us. Still pretty damn impressive and in my league, they're ranked 32nd overall ahead of a ton of WR1's and RB2's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gopher Posted October 23, 2019 Share Posted October 23, 2019 I have a pretty stacked team (6-1) in my local keeper league, and they're outscoring everybody on my team except for Matt Ryan. That includes Michael Thomas, Deandre Hopkins, Keenan Allen, Zeke Elliott, Travis Kelce, etc. They're 9th in the league in overall scoring, behind McCaffrey, Cook, and six QB's. My original plan was to use them for the first 7 weeks of the season, and see what happens from there. Well, as it stands right now, they're more of a start-every-week stud than just about anybody else on my team. I do still think that a big part of their unbelievable start this year has to be attributed to the favorable schedule. After Week 1 (PIT), everybody knew they were going to be solid, if for no other reason than the opponents in Weeks 2-7. That said, the remainder of their schedule doesn't look as tough as it once did, at least in terms of whether there are DST points to be had. CLE, @PHI, DAL.... I can't see myself benching them in those matchups. KC can certainly give up sacks at the very least, whether Mahomes is back by Week 14 or not (and there is a good chance I'll have a bye that week anyway). Weeks 15/16 still look VERY juicy (BUF and @CIN), which leaves two weeks.... Week 9 @BAL and Week 13 @HOU. In the two leageus where I've got NE, I've got either BUF or MIN slated to cover those weeks (if I decide against just rolling with the Pats, which I very well might end up doing). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had resigned to the fact that it was a lost week. That's why I wasn't even watching the game. I was completely surprised by the fact that suddenly I actually had a chance at a W. So close.
