Yoyo Posted October 23, 2023 Share Posted October 23, 2023 Ravens offense hasn't looked that great lately..... Let me choose the Lions defense instead of sticking with Philly. Real pretty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevegrab Posted October 23, 2023 Share Posted October 23, 2023 Playing fantasy football, thinking my top players would produce far above my bench players, then losing by just 5 points. Even after bad games by Jacobs, Adams and Cooper (3 of my studs) I only needed about 22 points from Tua + Swift. So of course they both have their worst games of the year.

I lost by 2 points by playing Howell over TLaw. I would have won by a bit too. 2-5 after this week. There's always next year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I should have gone with either Michael Thomas or James Cook instead of DK, but his matchup was just so juicy... plus MT hadn't scored a TD all season and Cook faced a stout NEP DEF. Doesn't look like it's going to crush me in my Guillotine league, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's always next year. I will also be 2-5, and probably the worst team in the league (record, total points). Oh goodie #1 waiver priority. Every starting decision I made seemed logical. Tua over Lawrence Jacobs and Swift over Mattison/Hunt Adams and Cooper as my top 2 WR, Doubs in at WR3. Palmer would have been an option over Doubs, but not the first 2. Of course a little better game by Tua (there was a couple dropped passes that could have been TDs), or Swift getting more work and the TD instead of Gainwell could have been the difference as well. Or maybe a rushing TD instead of Hurts. Didn't seem like a long shot before the game, but the more I saw the Dolphins struggle to move the ball the more I worried.

I don't quite understand what's going on with Jacobs. His per carry avg is terrible and I assume his line isnt very good. But his PFF rating is also way down from last year so it probably isn't just the line. The change to an ineffective QB may have snuffed out whatever production he was getting with all that opportunity. Definitely need Carr back.

purplemonster Posted October 23, 2023 Share Posted October 23, 2023 (edited) Another one I figured might be a blunder is not playing Rashee Rice. I thought he might even do better than he did but Kelces monster game may have put a cap to it. I feel like maybe leagues need a modifier for points scored because it feels like every year someone gets richly rewarded or terribly screwed based on matchups. In one league I will be 3-4 despite a 31-20 head to head record. In another league 2-5 despite having 2nd highest number of points in a 10 team league. It's just kind of annoying.

My only tip on that would be to try and make sure that those teams who excel in points scored and get poor weekly results still have a good shot at the playoffs, or some money. We have a weekly high score contest, $2 per 12 teams for each week, a team that scores a lot will usually win a few of those. We also have a charge of $2 per player added, that goes into a pot for the top 3 scoring teams. Not sure what could be done otherwise, without eliminating the weekly matchups, or just using an all play record (which will more closely follow the high points).

T-Scorp Posted October 23, 2023 Share Posted October 23, 2023 Traded J Cook for Ford before Sundays game (I was Chubb owner ) Now looks like Ford is out with bad ankle! Of course Eckler and Herbert having dud games did not help this week! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then I saw they added what felt like 4 rb's including Darrell Henderson who was just there last year and serviceable and another guy who used to start somewhere. And after mcvays cagey answer I was out. Edited October 23, 2023 by purplemonster Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has been nothing but average since entering the league. Raiders didn’t even pick up the 5th year option. It’s to big of a coincidence that he put up those numbers last year in a contract year. Then held out trying to get the contract. This is who he has always been average with the exception of last year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looks like I'll be fine, although it really wouldn't have mattered much anyway since the only other options I had were Antonio Gibson and Cordarrelle Patterson. Bye week and injuries have got me pretty thin in both my leagues. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
