Fantasy Football Talk in General

Week 8 Conundrum!

who to start at Flex? WR Non PPR

Chris Olave NO vs LV
Tyler Boyd CIN vs CLE - dbl egde here w/ no chase
Amari Cooper CLE vs CIN - can you trust anyone but Chubb at this point?

fyi
Justin Jefferson and Amon Ra- St Brown are my starters.

 

Roll with Olave i am in a couple of leagues inclusding 1 where injures and byes have me starting 3 rookie wrs (olave, london and pickens)

 

Olave all the way. He's a points getter...

 

Thirded on Olave…PPR I might’ve said Boyd, but figure CIN’s offense vs CLE should be the Joe Mixon show.

Vegas’ pass D is pretty ungreat, Olave should be able to put up some nice gains.

 

Im debating cutting rodgers in one league to grab trevor lawrence (who has scored more) or andy dalton now insane of an idea is that?

 

Ive been thinking about putting him on the block, but i doubt Id get any takers, lol.

 

I was thinking the same hence the cut lol

 

I benched Rogers for Pickett. Rogers hasn’t done crap at least Pickett can improve.

 

Dammm... I lost all across the board in the L4SN Leagues, yikes!

Time to get my shit together and cheat or something!

 

I can’t believe I had about 4 players set the world on fire in the first half and not produce another point in the second half of their game.

 

Welcome to fantasy football Gid

 

So i pulled the trigger on cutting rodgers in a league where i have a small bench combine with injuries byes etc so of course he has the game of the year for him and of course im playing the guy who picked him up bwhahahaha

 

D

Did you end up losing that one?

 

Yes yes I did one the plus side it was the only loss that week (7-1) on the down side he had two players not even play in his line up and still beat me i guess my team was confused by seeing rodgers on the other side.

 

I have been playing fantasy football for a long time and I do mean long like 1989-90 season was the first time. I've been in at least 1 league a year since then. I'm currently in 8 this season my highest was a crazy year where I decided to do 22 leagues (obviously mostly free leagues) and I cannot recall an season as odd as this one. First from the standpoint of players being cut mid season like Eno Benjamin, Darrel Henderson, and Melvin Gordon. Players who while not stellar had been productive to a degree that normally would keep them on a roster. They also have not been pushed aside by someone playing better than them. Maybe it's happened and I just don't recall it. To my knowledge none of these guys were cut for the LeGarrette Blount reason either you know where they were such a bad seed that they had to be removed from the team. The ol addition by subtraction. That in itself to me as I said is odd. I also do not recall having so much trouble with replacing an injured player. Not because none are available but because they guy I have picked up ends up going down that very same week. Is it just me? Ot.is it really an odd season?

 

Amen. Very odd to me also. Especially when in Hendersons case, he wasnt given a very steady diet of carries recently and , POOF, he's gone. Been some odd moves this season and some very very odd ballgames to say the least... a bunch of close games and a bunch of headscratching finals. One week the SB contenders look real and the next, bang, they get toppled by a lesser team.

It has been more work to keep a team healthy to say the least... Waiver Wire pickups are tough to come by with all the injuries and questionables, but all in all its still fun to me, just takes a bit more planning and thought.

The Covid thing was highly unusual... The flip-flop of an entire division like the NFC West and the NFC East was very strange too.

 

One thing for sure... everybody is going to be in it till the end as its getting rare for a team or two to run away with things. Its very competitive, unbalanced with lotsa parity. I lose em all one week and then follow that up with all winners.

 

Alright 33 points by the Vikings Cook must have had a bounce back game....5 points wtf am I on punked lol

 

I played him over Debo Samuel. I am probably going to see Samuel go off this week.

 

I benched Cousins because of his antiprimetime status... So he goes out and puts up 31 points from the bench. Im relying on good ol' Geno Smith to save my ass.

Lets go Geno!
