Not as bad as I felt at the beginning of the GB-SEA game playing against Josh Jacobs. I think he had 16 points 10 minutes into the game.
Then was a bit gassed after that, even according to his season stats. Not sure why they overuse him in the 1st quarter. Except that it works, of course. Would help to have two other backs like him.
Done. Finished 8-7 but the highest scoring team in the league.
First round of the playoffs, I go in to MNF up but projected 50/50 shot with the Atlanta D/ST vs AJones, KAllen, and JMyers. Allen and Jones put up numbers, but so was the Atlanta D, so I’m comfortable with about 5 minutes to go. Yahoo’s telling me I’m 93% to win, then 95%…then they start playing prevent (the win) defense, and who’s getting catches but Jakobi effin’ Myers! And as the yards rack up, my D/ST is edging towards losing points. Then they get within reach of the endzone (and Yahoo has me at 99% to win) and Ridder throws 2 passes within Myers’ reach!!!
I came out with the win, but did not expect that much drama (for my fantasy or the real-life NFL game) at the end of Raiders/Falcons!!!

Won my Consolation Cup (the six teams not in the Championship tournament) round this week. The trophy is considerably smaller.

I’m in the finals and trying to choose between:
QB:
- Love (vs NO)
- Rodgers (vs LAR)
- Willams (vs DET)
2 of the following (One RB and one Flex):
- R Stevenson (@ Buff)
- Etienne (@ LV)
- Mooney (vs NYG)
The core of my team is J Chase, N Collins, Mixon and T McBride. His main guys are L Jackson, C Brown, R Dowdle and T McLaurin. Crossing my fingers the Steelers can limit Lamar again!
I’m starting Love
PPR?
Mooney seems risky with a new QB
I’m biased against Etienne because I have him and he has been a fantasy bust
Yes PPR. Was thinking similar about Mooney after putting up a 0 last week and now new QB but it is the Giants…
Mooney is the guy if you need variance
Agree Mooney will have some variance.
He’s clearly the deep strike threat for ATL, and Penix threw a lot of deep balls in college.
Love, Stevenson, Etienne
I’m leaning towards Stevenson and Etienne. If tomorrow’s games go very poorly (Collins / Mixon for me, Lamar for him), I may opt for the higher upside of Mooney. Still very much on the fence between Love and Rodgers.
Opponent had pretty quiet games from C Sutton and Den D yesterday.
Makes sense on the volatility. Maybe same for Love vs Rodgers. I’m clear on Love >> Rodgers here though.
Weather could be a factor in KC, CHI, NYJ, SEA, GB
As commissioner, i really wanted to reject this trade back in October.
This was right after Cooper was traded to the Bills. Additional, Taymor was coming off of injury and had not played the prior three weeks.
Even with that, i really, really thought that the dude receiving Darnold and and Taylor was fleecing the other person. But, our general rules are as long as it doesn’t seem like collusion, we let trades go through as we are all adults.

This should always be the case in fantasy IMO. Unless it smells like collusion, let it go.

Should be in the Final of the consolation tourney.
Opponent put up 136, including 30 from the Falcons D and 20 from Tyjae Spears. I’m sitting at 108 with Josh Jacobs and Packers D left to go. D scoring a bit higher than in other leagues. My projected score is 135, but feels like I should be better than 50/50 here.
Meanwhile in the other semifinal, both teams are final with 114 vs 92…
