Fantasy Football Talk in General

0-2-1 for me. Blech.

 

I lost a fantasy football game, 118.78 - 118.58... wtf kinda luck do I have, lol?

 

bad luck obviously. that a tough loss. damn Will. i hate percentage point leagues.

 

I'm in the Gronk guessing game again this week.

He was out last week with back issue. He's currently listed as "questionable" for this week's game vs Buffalo on MNF. (I picked up C. Uzomah (CIN) last week.) IMHO, the Pats don't need to play Gronk against the Bills at all. If they do, it will probably be on a very limited basis.

Don't ask me how, but I'm still in the thick of it in my league. What would you guys do? Roll with Gronk or insert Uzomah?

 

easy check the injury report for Uzomah bf the game. if he can't play - use Gronk. If he can play, use him and roll the dice.

 

due to only 4 bench spots and him always being hurt or leaving games hurt, i dropped Will Fuller weeks ago bc he was always hurt and never producing. go figure the guy i am playing this week had him and he had a big game. ugh. i hate leagues with small benches.

 

I have a funny feeling Gronk will play this week...he loves playing in his homecoming games (7 career games in Buffalo - 44/730/7).

 

At least you won't have to worry about Fuller if you have to play that guy again.

 

Thanks. But my dilema remains. Gronk is currently still listed as questionable. To complicate that, reports are that he will probably be a game time decision. The problem there is . . . game time is Monday evening. Long after the opportunity to insert Uzomah in his slot.

(@Catfish , Uzomah is not currently listed on any injury reports)

 

I have Fuller. 25+ points in his swan song game. I'll take it !!!

 

I'm with ya Will...I'm currently 4-3 in my main league. I lost 116.76 to 116.75 in week two. I lost 135.55 to 135.5 in week 6. And last week I got blown out 130.9 to 129.3...smh

What can ya do? lol! The think that sucks the most when ya lose that close is that you think of the million or so things that could've went slightly different, thus enabling your team to find victory...At 4-3, I'm less than two points from being 7-0.

 

^^^^^^^ The Hue Jackson of FFB.

 

Understood, but he's been questionable a whole lot in his career and played...he did practice yesterday and was reportedly doing some blocking drills so I think that's a pretty good indication he's over the back spasms. So your choice is between playing it safe or taking the home run swing. If you're risk averse, start Uzomah. If you're a gambling man, start Gronk...worst case scenario if he doesn't play you could probably pick up Dwayne Allen or maybe Jacob Hollister (if he plays) or even Charles Clay if he's available last minute, and they're probably not much lower of ceiling play than Uzomah is (only 19 targets all year while playing over 72% of the snaps, and 7 of those came in the PIT game, so it's not like he's a guaranteed points producer, either).

 

No kidding. lol! My team often plays it to the wire, and then comes up just short.... just like the Browns. Only in my case, I can't blame the refs. Or my OC.....

 

Maybe I should have said, "the John Dorsey of FFB".

 

due to the MNF - make sure Uzomah Sunday morning is still ready to go and that he didn't fall out of the bathtub and use him. can't risk Gronk sitting out 24 hrs later. why make yourself worry about Gronk? Use Uzo if healthy and live with the decision.

 

lol! It really does suck. In two of my losses it actually came down to one yard. One stinkin yard! smh....

However, in true Hue fashion, I have placed the blame for each of my losses....(goes without saying, that it's not my fault.)

Week 2 - Kicker Greg Zeuerline gets hurt in pregame warm ups. Lost by a fraction of a point....
Week 6 - I could say Antonio Callaway. I put him in on a hunch and he drops 3 passes, including 2 in the endzone...I could also easily point to the bullshit horse collar tackle that took Cooper Kupp out of play...But I'll go with Hugo Cruz. The NFL official that missed the blatant false start on Russell Okung, which allowed my opponents QB (Phillip Rivers) a free play to throw a touchdown when the Browns had stopped playing...smh...Lost by fraction of a point. (I guess I can blame the refs)
Week 7 - Zeke or Mixon. Both top 5 plays. Both laid an egg. I lose by a point.

Such is life in the cruel world of fantasy football...

 

i know that. years ago i was in the semi-finals of my own league. the finals paid out $500 and $300 for runner up. it was a Monday night game. i was up big. it was a long game and my lead was shrinking fast. my opponent had Adrien Pederson's backup bc he had AP and he was out. 1 min to go and the game was over. The RB he had, had a lot of receiving yards which boosted his score. i was up by 2 points with a minute to go and 3rd and 9. Minnesota has the ball. 3rd down play a screen to the RB who then gets a hole like Moses and the parting of the Red Sea. He catches the ball and runs for 10 yards. i lose by 1 and no money. i needed the money. i used my score the final week and would've won the title over both finalist. ouch.

semi-finals again on MNF. Another late game around 12:30 am. he has the kicker ! bears have the ball and winding down the clock. i am up by .50 pts. i hate half point leagues. all the bears have to do is get a first down and i win. or get tackled and punt it i win. RB gets the ball and goes down the side of the field. he gets the first down and keeps on going for a TD. I lose on the extra point with 20 seconds left. i threw my remote so hard i shattered it. no finals for me and no money. i used my score the final week and would've won the title over both finalist. ouch.

the worst was in a SB block pool-Pitt-Sea. I would get the first quarter score and $1000. 5 seconds left and im all happy. Ben is on the 1 yard line and 3rd down and long. Pitt will punt or run out the clock and i get $1000. that stupid jackwagon Roethlisberger drops back and throws an INT on the 3 yard line. pitt wr fell down. the defender walks into the endzone and time expires. the score changes and i lose the quarter. i got so drunk after that i don't even recall checking my other blocks. 5 seconds from $1000 - poof gone.

 

My block pool nightmare was also a Steelers game. I think it was a Monday Night game too. Anyway, it was late in the game and Pittsburgh was driving for the winning FG. The funny thing is, I had bought 2 squares on the pool. I was set to win if the Steelers kicker missed the FG, OR if he made it. Can't lose, right? Wrong. Jaguars block the kick and return it for a touchdown. Poof! There goes $250.00. Unbelievable. Thought I had the bases covered. lol!...That was the game where Bill Cowher almost lost his mind and tackled the Jags player as he was sprinting down the sideline for the game winner...

 

Nice story but Roethlisberger never threw an int on his own 3 yard line. He did throw one from around the Seahawks 5 yard line that was returned inside the red zone but that was the 3rd quarter.
