And I come back just in time to see Jaleel Mclaughlin has a TD while Javonte Williams has a fumble.

Still waiting for my first TD from someone not named Stefon Diggs.

Oh you would have thrown a brick through your TV. 

Javonte has turned into basically their 2nd down pass catching back.

This is the dumbest fucking NFL season ever. 

[CurlyDumps 4441]

Aaand massive pussy Derek Carr squeezes in an INT to end his pathetic day!

[HiggyBaby 2517]

So that Jennings kid in SF seems legit

Spent most of Wednesday to Saturday pissed my opponent picked him up for the offensive FLEX position. Not so upset Sunday - didn't even score 8 points.  My opponent had Hurts (lol), Carr (lol), Hill (lol), Pitts (lol) and Fairbairn (lol)

Thank god for Dak, Gibbs, Rashee Rice and Goff.  And I left huge points on my bench - Montgomery and Hubbard.

[Chewbacca 7730]

I had 2 players break double digits this week.  Two (Mason and Godwin).  Previous 2 weeks I scored 140+ each week.  This week I got 68.  My bench scored 69 (nice).

 

Time to bench every Dolphins player.  Without Tua their offense is trash.

I wouldn’t play Javontae this week unless there was no other legitimate option. 
 

I think Minshew over Purdy for this week is probably fine. 

You were half right.

And there is zero reason to use him now.

Trying to figure how Celery ended up with those as his top 4 WRs. 

[shadow_operative2.0 15840]

Those are still a very bad top 4 set of WRs. 

[ztejas 43266]

My team is turning out to be fucking bizarre but I'm about to be 2-1.

Trying to get a decent tight end for one of my extra backs or receivers. 

[Celery Man 20888]

44.2 points out of them with a half left still 

[ztejas 43266]

Probably gonna drop TLaw and just pick up off the wire when Stroud has his bye. 

[Baboontyme 2808]

I'm very proud of the fact that I invested pretty heavily in my leagues in the best offenses in the league. Yep, that's right, Carolina, Denver, Miami, Jacksonville and New England. 

[ztejas 43266]

Just made this trade. Double flex PPR- 12 team. 

What y'all think. 

I'm on the left.

[shadow_operative2.0 15840]

You traded Terry for two JAGs? 

[Blotto 23434]

I got a combined 1 pt out of Andrews/Shaheed/Fairbairn and somehow still eeked out a win (thanks to Allen and K Williams). but I got stomped in my other league by putting up a whopping 70 pts. I thought Stroud was gonna be a difference maker, lulz. 

[TexasHooch 5117]

After 3 equally strong weeks, I have the highest cumulative point total in the league... and I'm 0-3.  So it goes.

[CurlyDumps 4441]

CBS experts:

week 3: "It's time to trust Derek Carr as a QB1."

week 4: Derek Carr ranked #23. 

Fuck you dart throwing grifters for costing me 20+ points.

[Celery Man 20888]

I think there’s a reverse dunning kruger thing with fantasy where there’s a very low peak for how much you need to understand to maximize your odds for success, and once you move past that peak and continue to learn new information you start to do things like pick Derek Carr as your qb.

 

[MrX 714]

Derek Carr should definitely be rostered now in almost every league based on the first three weeks, whereas before he was going undrafted in 12 team leagues I’m guessing.

You’re not going to play him over Mahomes, Allen, etc. but if I had relied on someone like Trevor Lawrence pre-draft then yeah, Carr could start for me. 

[CurlyDumps 4441]

I re-learned the lesson to just make the decision you can live with. Not the one that will still piss you off three days later. It was either Purdy or Dak all week until Sunday morning when I see Derek Recarrd available. I was even playing the guy who dropped Dak and kinda wanted to start Dak for the lols. But no, decided to get cute with the eyeliner avenger after looking at the rankings and matchups.

Carr probably falls off a cliff now with the O line injuries. The Saints also just don't want to throw a lot. Those week 1&2 efficiency numbers were probably a fluke.

I was kicking myself for not picking up Kamara in the draft when he was right there. I was afraid he might be over the hill but he’s looking good.

[Js1 85141]

I doubt he will repeat his performance last week, but no one in my league picked up Jauan Jennings with Deebo and McCaffrey still out and Kittle limited.

[HiggyBaby 2517]

Shakir worked out well for me. This week’s candidate for my ailing WR corps is Diontae Johnson. I thought about Jennings but he’s been defacto WR1 before and not produced much. Moot point anyways as someone snagged him with a higher waiver. 

[Prepuce of Doom 20992]

Need help with a proposed trade. 

I've got Joe Burrow and Justin Jefferson, and I've been offered Ja'Marr Chase in exchange for Jefferson. It's a .5PPR league. 

Normally I would jump on the opportunity to stack the points between my QB and his #1 WR, but I am a little apprehensive about it in this instance. I don't know whether we should trust the Bengals much this year - feels to me like the kind of decision that's ripe for a lot of second guessing in the future. 

Any thoughts? 

[ChickenSandwich 9798]

Chase and ?

No to straight up 

[Prepuce of Doom 20992]

Yeah, it's straight up. 

They’re both almost equivalent in terms of projected total points/remaining points, etc., so I figured what the hell and accepted. 

I might be fucking myself by un-diversifying my portfolio, or I might benefit from the synergy - who knows... 

[ChickenSandwich 9798]

I have the Chase/Burrow combo on my dynasty team so hope it works out for ya, but they have not been equals this season. Jefferson seems to have a clearly higher floor and ceiling 

[Firemans4Horn 17847]

Jefferson.
 

Chase is pissed about his contract so he’s not going to play through any kind of minor injury (if he’s smart). 

[Celery Man 20888]

Trade burrow for darnold lol

[CurlyDumps 4441]

Chase has some advantages: better QB, worse running game, worse defense. Give me  Chase ROS.

I'm stacked rn at back/receiver and don't trust McLaurin week-to-week w a rookie QB. Wanted some fun options at TE/RB going forward. Williams is great injury insurance, too. 

On paper I probably took an L but I think it's going to wind up working for my team.

[Chewbacca 7730]

Ugh.  McBride out on Sunday and all the available TEs are hot garbage.  I think I might skip playing a TE this week.  I don't want to drop anyone on my bench just for 1-2 weeks as they'd almost certainly get picked up.

[Firemans4Horn 17847]

I dropped a depth WR to pick up Ertz. Drafted Andrews relatively early but can’t start him until he starts running routes.

Picked up Odunze yesterday for depth because he was available.  And now I have to start him because the Raiders are benching Davante. 

I have Richardson and Goff for QB (neither is great, neither is bad).  Debating dropping one of those for a TE, but the only guys available at TE are averaging ~5 points a week.

1 qb league? How many teams? Not sure Goff is that much better than what’s on the waiver wire in a 1 qb league with 12 or less teams.

12 teams, 1 QB. I picked up Goff when Tua went down.  Richardson has been my starter but he's sucked since week 1.

what qb’s are on waiver wire? I’d probably drop Goff for a tight end. I hate starting a 0. 

[shadow_operative2.0 15840]

I would never purposely start a 0 unless it was Monday night & shit was already handled.

Yeah, I might.  As of today, I can get Darnold, Geno or Stafford.  Do I really want to start Richardson again, though?  Especially against the Steelers D? Goff will probably score more this week but Richardson has a higher ceiling.

I've also got DHop on my bench but don't want to drop him yet.

I hear you, but available TEs are Kraft, Parkinson, Taysom Hill, Conklin.  A whole bunch of shit.  

[Firemans4Horn 17847]

Hopkins is washed. That’s who I would drop. Tennessee doesn’t have a QB either.
 

 I’d take Darnold over Goff rest of season and this week.

He had 19 points last week.  I'm not convinced he's washed yet.  And when he's good, he's amazing. I want to see if he can come back to be full speed.

Darnold has been great this year, but I'm having a hard time getting over the rest of his career. But yeah, I probably need to ditch Goff for a TE.  

[Chewbacca 7730]

Dropped Goff for Parkinson.

Would rather have Geno or Darnold than Goff, but Goff has a decent matchup this week

Hill is a shot in the dark with Kamara banged up. Conklin would be second choice 

Edited September 28 by ChickenSandwich

[Firemans4Horn 17847]

Conklin 1st

Hill 2nd

 

I’ve loved the Hill hack for many years.
