UConn4523 : 10/8/2018 10:46 am
how did everyone do? I’m in a whopper of a match right now, up 52 with Brees against Kamara, AP, Thompson and Watson. Will be rooting for both run games getting shot down.
I am down 36 in one league  
dep026 : 10/8/2018 10:49 am : link
Have brees and Thompson and he has reed. 6 points per passing TD. .5 PPR.

Really need brees to make up for no TDs last week.

My other league I squeaked one out despite getting 3 catches combined from cooks, cooper, and Jeffrey. Cooper is not dependable. 1 target all game???? I’d be livid if I were him.
I am locked in a tough one  
superspynyg : 10/8/2018 10:50 am : link
Up by 1 point in a ppr; He has Ingram and I have Peterson. I am hoping that Saints ease in Mark Ingram tonight. If I win I will be 5-0.

I should split my 2 yahoo leagues. I already won 1 and the other Im up by 11. He has Brees and I have the kicker Lutz. Not hopefull at all.
That Breida injury sucked  
UConn4523 : 10/8/2018 10:51 am : link
he was on his way to another 100+ yard week with a TD already under his belt. He’s the only player worth watching on that offense too.
I was going to go Ingram tonight  
UConn4523 : 10/8/2018 11:09 am : link
due to how much we had on the line for MNF but would have had to bench Fuller who’s been awesome. He has a dud of course.

I was able to trade Breida and Corey Davis for Fournette. Nobody is really winning that deal yet. I just hope I can hang on to a playoff spot while my RBs take over.

I lost in one of my legacy leagues where Gould got me 0 points and Mariota got me 6 points and change. My season is basically over. I am 0-5. Sucks.

In my other legacy league I am starting to hit my stride right now so I am happy about that.

I was playing my wife in one league this week. She was asking my advice. I told her to play the Panthers D against the Giants over the Steelers against ATL. Well, that move cost her 12 points. Also, she asked about Robbie Anderson. I said he has been awful and you are better off playing Callaway. That move really killed her. She is pissed. I told her to run her own team then. Would anybody have played Anderson over Callaway or PIT over CAR?
Yeh that sucks  
UConn4523 : 10/8/2018 11:16 am : link
but I really just don’t like Fournette. He’s not going to last long in this league. But for you, if you can weather the storm he will hopefully give you a good second half.
I wouldn’t play Callaway until he breaks out  
UConn4523 : 10/8/2018 11:18 am : link
unless I had no other option. He just doesn’t get the targets. That said neither has Anderson until this week so I’m not sure what I would have done.
Pretty good week from me  
allstarjim : 10/8/2018 11:31 am : link
Out of my 5 leagues I have victories wrapped up in 3 of them, with very good to great fantasy point output on the week.

There are two undecided leagues.

In my 10 team standard, I'm down 16.6 points, but I still have Michael Thomas and Alvin Kamara left. Obviously, I feel good about my chances. 1 TD and 110 yards combined by Kamara and Thomas is all I need. Not a guaranteed victory, but I would be surprised if I don't get there.

In my 10 team, 5-keeper league, I am down 5.94 points with just my kicker, Dustin Hopkins, left to play. Hopkins has scored at least 6 fantasy points in all three of his games thus far this season, and we're in the dome tonight, so again, feeling pretty confident. Funny thing about that league is that I was going to go without a kicker. I didn't have a drop candidate on my team, and because of Bears DEF on bye I had to add a DEF and drop my kicker, and decided I would play my opponent without one. Well, after Zeke's substandard performance last night, I was still down 5.94 points with nobody left to play, and my opponent had no players left to play. So I went to free agency and pulled Dustin Hopkins (who I knew was still out there going into yesterday's games), and put him in my lineup. I did have to waive Mike Williams to make room for him on my roster, but you have to do what you have to do to get the win. A win is more important that my 4th receiver.

Plus, I have the 2nd waiver priority, so I will probably get him back if I want him. I'm going to need a WR from waivers to play this week, with both Golladay and Tate on bye.
All in all  
allstarjim : 10/8/2018 11:31 am : link
I have a very good chance of going 5-0 this week.
I did great this week  
MadPlaid : 10/8/2018 11:37 am : link
making up for the stinker I had last week.

Brady produced, so did J. Conner, McCaffrey and DJ. Up by 25 points on my opponent. He has B. Watson tonight, while I have Michael Thomas and Jordan Reed. I am fairly confident it is over.

My future isn't looking too good with the likely return of Bell, but until then I will take what I can get.
Could go 3 - 0  
pjcas18 : 10/8/2018 11:37 am : link
for the first time this year. It would make me 3 - 2, 4 - 2, and 4 - 1 in my 3 leagues.

My big $$ league, where I'd be 4 - 1 I had a huge day from Beckham, decent days from Golladay, Mixon, and Rosas.

I still have Brees, M. Thomas, A. Peterson, and J. Reed, and I already won. I have 103 points, my opponent has 86 and is done (this is the guy who traded me Brees and Golladay for Courtland Sutton and Devante Parker).

The only close league I really have is BBI and I just need Kamara to get less than 34 points (assuming J. Reed puts up a goose egg).

Ouch, I hope you sent him a thank you card.
Need a shootout tonight  
Eli Wilson : 10/8/2018 11:55 am : link
One league I need Brees, M Thomas and Watson to combine for 10 points or more - should be a brees.

Other league I need Alex Smith and Will Lutz to combine for 40+. That might be hard to pull off.
I won in both leagues I'm in...  
Milton : 10/8/2018 11:57 am : link
Now 5-0 and 4-1. Losing Breida sucks for me. I still have Gurley, DJ, and Lindsay at RB, but I was hoping to use my RB depth to improve my starting WR position. With only three healthy RBs, I really can't afford to trade away any of them.

Closest our league came to a veto and I've never been in any league that vetoed a trade. I've been in fantasy football leagues since the 90's.

I had every intention to, in fact I saved a lineup. But this weekend was crazy in a lot of ways, there was an Oktoberfest Party, then there was a UFC watch party in which all the beer I brought got drank by other guests and so I hit my buddy's bourbon really hard, wife got pissed and left me so my drunk ass walked home 7 miles barefoot at 3am (all I brought were flip flops). Then dealt with the hangover and severe chafing the next morning.

I will do it this week though.

I copy/pasted the lineup I was going to use but didn't.

FWIW, it would've been:

Stafford
Gurley
Michel
Westbrook
C. Rogers
C. Ridley
Gronk
Ingram
Chargers DEF

Not sure how that would've come out against your team.
Breida, is he worth holding onto?  
Milton : 10/8/2018 12:44 pm : link
He's gonna be out at least two weeks, probably more, and he seems to be an injury waiting to happen even when he does return.
I know we're not supposed to talk $$ on here  
pjcas18 : 10/8/2018 12:44 pm : link
but I'm in a weekly draft kings pool, winner take all, $10 per week.

If anyone is interested let me know and I can invite you via email.

I've been in every week and this is my first year doing draft kings and the best I have finished is 4th (out of 12 - 15) each week.

I'm starting to get the hang of it and enjoy it.

I equate it kind of to the betting slips I used to fill out in high school, though not quite analogous since this is h2h.

let me know if interested $10 entry, winner take all, I personally know the organizers, and it's a small group (17 total invitations each week but I have carte blanche to invite people if I want)

I just realized that lineup would've been ineligible in our contest because Michel, Rogers, and Gronk all played on Thursday Night which wasn't part of our contest. Heh.

Best week of the season for me in season long  
YAJ2112 : 10/8/2018 2:04 pm : link
Should be 16-4 this week. 1 loss was by .7 with the 2nd highest score in the league, and 2 of the others were from shitty teams at this point. The other loss was by a team that will make the playoffs anyway.

Took over first in several leagues and gained points/ground in all my big $ leagues. Need a few more FF weeks like this one.

I noticed...I had saved a generic lineup that wouldn't have counted because I excluded the Thursday night matchup in our contest. So, because my lineup had 3 guys in the Thursday night game, I didn't even plan for an eligible lineup to play.

ASJ, you have been added, and FYI...this contest is just the Sunday 1pm and 4pm games. I like it that way (though it's the only contest I've done) - and it uses our league rules so take a look before picking a lineup once you are invited (which I believe will be Friday) (ppr, 6pt per passing TD, bonuses for some things). by the end of the 4pm games we know the winner.
Fournette  
pjcas18 : 10/8/2018 2:33 pm : link
already out next week vs DAL.

Between Fournette, Bell, and McKinnon and to a lesser extent Dalvin Cook, Devonta Freeman and even LeSean McCoy, a lot of people not getting value out of their early-ish RB picks.

Would you drop Breida in favor of Wendell Smallwood?

p.s.--They're calling it a mid-ankle sprain for Breida and say he could be back as early as next week (MNF). I'm not buying it. And what the hell is a mid-ankle sprain?

He's a very impressive athlete and I would bet on a larger role even when the other guys come back.

Super athletic, big, and he looks good catching the ball. Very smooth although he did fail to get his feet down on one catch.

He's raw but man he looks the part with the movement that will work in the NFL.

Nope. Breida owns that backfield. Clement, Smallwood and Sproles will be a giant RBBC.

Why are you trying to get rid of Breida so badly? Can’t you drop anyone else?

I like Breida a lot but he can't stay healthy. He missed training camp with an injury, then he had a hyperextended knee, then he had a shoulder injury, and now it's a "mid-ankle" sprain.

I did. Left him on my bench and didn't need him, I read a few scouting reports on him, and all said "special teamer".

injuries maybe give him a shot. he looked decent yesterday. I think though as Cobb and Allison return, he'll be relegated to the bench. I don't think they view him above either of those two. but...if those two can't stay healthy good to know he's got some experience with Rodgers.

Unless Clement gets injured Smallwood's value is limited. Breida, banged up or not is a much better fantasy player especially in PPR leagues. I'm not dropping that kind of value but that's just me.

I got Ingram back in time for the Breida injury so i'm not worried about it.

I'd also rather add a guy like Foreman than Smallwood.
