@Hueristic. This type of performance cannot be repeated weekly hehehehe. I consider myself still the loser of week 1. My team is weak and I cannot depend on Josh Allen to have another miraculous comeback every week.

Also, George Kittle is on IR. I will be lucky to win 2 games on weeks 2-5 without him. In any case, I need advice. Should I get Dallas Geodert or Kyle Pitts from the waiver wire?

@ChiBitCTy. Are there other fantasy leagues in the forum? It might be good to have for other cryptocoin communities where they accept payment in their own coins heheh.

Yeah there's another team that was the league originally that Phish took and then I asked I do the same the following year.   Let's perhaps not pick at any wounds. 

Sure I had a decent win this week, and sure I'm often a pessimist in terms of football in general whether it be in fantasy football or the Chicago Bears. I think its safe to say despite winning my opening my fantasy game, the Bears looked like dog shit in the second half, as well as my fantasy football team I think will look much the same the rest of the forward.

Man what a tale of two halves that game was.  Heck of a Sunday game tho!!

I made a bone headed mistake with my last trade.  I dropped Keon Coleman, when I meant to drop Khalil Shakir.  Coleman clears waivers on Wednesday and I want him back, nobody grab him please.  You guys are all stacked on WRs anyway, so show a little kindness for the village idiot.

Shit happens bro, all good. If my claim goes through for him I’ll give him back. I will just need Nico and King Henry in return 😎

F me Ive had a busy day. I just realized there is fuzeball on rn. I forgot to lay some Satoshis down on GB, think they were at -3.5 b4 game time.  Thrilled GB looks so good this year. Also thrilled how many passed Caleb missed on Monday. What’s new tho right.

I went purging 30 mins before the game tonight and picked up 3 players, lucky I didn't take your guy as I was mainly hunting for TE.

If anyone has a semi decent TE they wanna trade send me a proposal, Not sure what I would let go of but maybe a deal can be struck.

I saw you grabbed Z. Ertz, and was like "Eww, nice one!".

Yea pretty good pick up IMO, having at least a good night tonight. Andrews for Baltimore that I had wasn't producing anything, was kinda shocked to see Ertz available TBH.

I am regretting my decision to grab Hock even though I got way below value.

My plan was to get Kraft like I did on my other team but Hock had fallen so far and there was no-one else even close in that tier I wanted.

I expect he will be producing by mid season with the new rookie so I grabbed a stop gap TE.

I chose Dalton Kincaid. I did not know that Zach Ertz is a good tightend hheehh. My other choices were Goedert and Kyle Pittsa, however, there was something that caused me to choose Kincaid. I was having a fantasy that Allen-Kincaid will be the next Mahomes-Kelce hehe. We have witnessed this on week 1. We might witness this for much of this season.

Kincaid has always had his ceiling capped because historically Knotts has also gotten high volume and Josh Allen spreads the ball around.

You asked me to choose between Pitts and Goedart so I told you which I would choose but I did not look to see who else was available that might have been a better choice.

I do think Pitts will do good with this new Penix guy. Lol

[nutildah]

For this week's game, I'm just thinking, if it ain't broke, don't fix it. I did make one minor alteration and that was replacing Aaron Jones with Travis Etienne, as I think the Jags will be able to pull off an upset over the Bengals on Sunday. Just thinking he has good prospects on a team that is likely to do better than usual this year.

Speaking of upsets, I've started yet another contest: pick the biggest upset of the week. The prize for a correct pick is pride, glory, and merits. I developed a new system to research each game and find the biggest blowout that will happen that week.

Come join the thread! Name your biggest upset of the week and get paid in reputation and possibly merits.

Benching BO, Higgins and Hock this week for waiver pickups Keenan, Penix and Juwan!

Roast away!

That's a bold roster move benching 41 projected points and rostering 31ish projected points. Obviously we all know projected doesn't mean shit and it all depends on the day the player has vs the team they're playing. Chargers are going to go deep in the playoffs this year and Herbert will find Allen multiple times in every game, so that's not a terrible change. Bo Nix just had a rough game 1 I think, but Penix is not bad. No clue about Johnson, haven't really paid attention but they are playing the beat up 49ers. Good luck!!

Seems to be working out for you so far. Although I'm not sure what compelled you to start Penix over Nix. Both are kinda unproven & anything can happen, but Nix seemed to have a slightly easier matchup. And you are aided by your opponent starting Herbert over Mahomes... I get that Mahomes is up against the SB champs, but still, he's Mahomes. He was probably afraid that what is currently happening to Hurts (just 6 points with only 1 quarter to go) would happen to Mahomes as well.

I did not like floor I saw last week and think Penix's floor is higher, same with the other two.

It is nice to see a better showing from Nix this week and I was also concerned the Colts D was actually sneaky good after last week.

I think Higgins would have put up the same stat line as last week if Burrows hadn't got hurt, He gets hyper focused on Chase when he's struggling.

And of course Hock has a Rook QB that just needs to get his sea legs and Juwan has been getting volume and looked good tail end of last year and I was really surprised no-one snagged him in the draft.

I do not disagree with you on Kyle Pitts. However, I only need a short term replacement for George Kittles who might be active again after 5 weeks.

In any case, where do we pay the entry fee.

[nutildah]

22 points in our league, but yeah, 33 points across 2 games. I'm pretty happy to have picked him up, knowing absolutely nothing about him just 3 weeks ago. In my draft preparation research, his name kept coming up as someone to focus on acquiring. I was a bit hesitant as usually I like to take kickers on teams known for winning, but so far its been a good gamble. I have to emphasize "so far" because taking anything for granted in FF comes at a price.

And I don't know who the frowny wanker is in this graphic but I'm sharing it anyway.

Haha, that pricks against me in my other league and I'm getting crushed!

Well Penix fucked me strait up the ass without lube! After last week I really thought the guy was the safer floor, I forgot my rule to never trust a falcons player!

DW is treasurer as per usual.

He was the highest scoring kicker in 23' and finished 2nd to Boswell last year (if not for Dak's injury probably first again).

Funny thing about yesterday's game, Cowboys had like 10 seconds and two timeouts to maybe gain a few more yards and they just settled for a 64-yard fg attempt as if it was nothing.  


source: https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/colts-are-first-team-in-nfl-history-not-to-punt-in-either-of-their-first-two-games

Indianapolis has still not punted through two weeks of the season, an unprecedented feat: No team in NFL history had ever gone without punting in its first two games of the season. Going a game without a punt is rare, so rare that the Colts are the only team that has done it this year. And the Colts have done it twice.

No punts. No turnovers. Five drives that ended with touchdowns, nine drives that ended with field goals, one drive that ended with the end of the first half and two drives that ended on unsuccessful fourth down attempts.

Other than Tyler Warren, who i have in three of my four leagues, i had very little stock in Colts players coming into the season. I know it's only Week 2, but they look much better than expected. If trashing the god-awful Dolphins is no surprise, the Broncos have a top-five defense (though they should've lost that game).

Daniel Jones is second in fantasy points, J. Taylor is third in fpts among running backs, Warren 1st in rec yards, Shrader is currently the highest scoring kicker, and the Colts are second in passing yards and third in rushing yards.  Good chance they are the Bucs team of last year and produce at every position.
