It's never a good feeling when you go into the week with a lower projected total than your opponent, who happens to be 0-7. I'm not sure if that makes me feel better that I'll pull out the win, or further loathing the possibility of losing this match.

Oh hey, I didn't have a kicker. Problem solved.

Like Alex Collins this week is projected for 10.5 in my league. His average is 5.1, the highest he's ever scored is 8.4, and they're playing against an above average run defense after a short week, with no changes to their run game as far as injuries or whatever. Kinda makes you wonder.

Welp.

He has 10.5 at halftime, so 'lol me'
---

Jarvis Landry has a ridiculously solid floor.

-short week
-on the road
-against a top 3 pass defense
-third string QB
-produced nothing but a missed 50 yard FG

and he still matched his previous minimum number of catches (5), and was only 7 yards shy of his previous minimum, after having negative points at the half.

Obviously not a great day, but geeze. He seems literally incapable of putting up a dud.
---

Still actually ended up getting me points above his projected value so Ill consider this game a win

Parker cant come back soon enough
---

Guy in my league is overseas right now, guess he didn't see the news in time, and he started Parker. Oof.
---

My opponent this week has the Baltimore defense.

29 pts... guess I'm probably losing this week
---

Reminder there's a London game tomorrow (9:30am eastern)

Vikings and Browns

Good ol' Adam "Five or Nine Catches" Thielen finally got a TD.

His score card is almost comical to me at this point.

Catches per week: 9, 5, 5, 5, 5, 9, 5, 5

Hm, I seem to be doing pretty well today even with a player on bye
---

hm I seem to be doing pretty shit even with no one on bye

Will Fuller has another TD against Seattle. Has this dude become must start status?

And like a minute after I posted this he scores another one against Sherman.
---

Fuller has been like my star pickup this year, I've started him every week.
---

well Im playing against deandre hopkins this week.

so thats great. this was supposed to be one of my easy weeks too.
---

Winning by 31 against the guy I'm tied for first with. He has Antonio Brown left and I have the Steelers D/ST.

I'm only tentatively excited. Could go south if Detroit puts up a ton of points and then the Steelers air it out a bunch to catch up.
---

Im currently down 57. I have Antonio Brown, Demariyus Thomas, Travis Kelce, Marvin Jones Jr. and the Chiefs kicker left.

Thomas is a lot less reliable with Siemian sucking it up, and Jones has been very boom or bust. Hoping for a big game from Brown tonight so I dont have to worry about Thomass output tomorrow.
---

Jordan Reed will be the death of me. I need Demaryius Thomas to have a total dud now. 9 point lead against him and a safety.
---

Still 1:40 left in the game, but the lions right now are setting an NFL record for yards from scrimmage in a game without scoring a touchdown. They're at about 500.
---

only one person on my entire team scored a touchdown today

wow
---

Not a great game for Brown, but Jones Jr. helped make up for it.

Still need 26 tomorrow night from the other three. Hopefully Denver actually scores some points this week.

Fuller has been like my star pickup this year, I've started him every week.

Once news was out that he was coming back from his broken collarbone, I picked him up as a speculative add. I dunno if he's my best add though. I used my #1 waiver priority on Latavius Murray once Dalvin Cook went down for my team. McKinnon wasn't touched all week and like the day before the Sunday games I picked him up as a "just in case Murray sucks" situation. Murray is no longer on my team and McKinnon has been chilling in my flex ever since.

Colts are open to trading T.Y. Hilton

Please fantasy gods, put him somewhere with a QB and help me close out this season.

oh

yes please

Well I got 23 of the 27 points I needed in the first quarter. Thats promising.
---

One of the 6-1 teams in our league is looking like they're going to lose against an opponent that played Marshawn Lynch and Martellus Bennett this week. He's up by 4 points right now with Kelce and Chiefs D going...let's see if he can hang on for the improbable win.
---

so assuming Kareem Hunt doesn't tank next week is gonna be BATTLE OF THE UNDEFEATEDS
---

Zeke is officially definitely actually for real suspended until week 15.

I believe it when he's sitting on Sunday.
---

Yeah I did just see that I guess it's still subject to appeal....geez. I can't imagine how sick he is of all this.
---

whew lad the KC kicker was a good pickup
---

Wow....if DT gets a touchdown here, something really unlikely will have played out in my league.

We had two teams at 5-2, four teams at 4-3, four teams at 3-4, and two teams at 2-5.

This week, the two 5-2 teams played each other, the two 2-5 teams played each other, and every 4-3 team played a 3-4 team. If DT gets 7 more points, we will have eight teams at 4-4.

Basically official at this point. Also forgot to mention that he also played Moncrief so that's 3 players on his team that put up big fat goose eggs.

Dammit Derby!
---

was hoping for the Thomas TD for maximum greed
---

The only winless team in the league just squeezed by with a 1.6 lead. I think it's safe to say Suprak and VI have the byes locked up at this point.

I lose again.

At least you didn't lose with 140+ like early in the season.

If I started the TE who might not get his leg amputated I woulda had 140.

Made a new topic as this one is close to full.

https://www.gamefaqs.com/boards/8-gamefaqs-contests/75939361

also, I think this is the first time I can think of that I had back-to-back biggest blowout wins.
---

I think this is the first time we've kept a topic going to completion rather than letting it purge.
---

I think it works better as a full on fantasy football discussion topic moreso than being just selective to one league (which is why others are chiming in)
---

oh, I'm aware. I'm just saying we haven't had all these other folks in the past, which is driving up the post count and making sure the topic doesn't die. (Other than Beavis making bump comments every day or so, and eventually missing a day.)
---

My entire team was bad this week except for the guy I picked up from the waiver wire week 2 to serve as an emergency QB because Eli Manning was bad.

SAVE ME DESHAUN WATSON
---

Says the guy who's 8-0, with a 3 game lead over third place.
---

Look at my WRs.

Look at them.

I have no WR1, one WR2 and then a bunch of rejects I'm not even sure people would pick up if I dropped. I had two solid WRs, but then Rodgers shoulder exploded and he was replaced by a guy who I'm not even positive has held a football before in his life, making the rest of the WRs useless.

The sole reason I have been winning is because Deshaun Watson and Kareem Hunt have been absolutely ridiculous, and even when Hunt is mediocre I can still count on Watson to put up like 40 points.

I should not be tied for first. This was a lucky fluke, and as soon as Watson has a mediocre week my team is screwed.
---

You should see my RBs man. Even my WRs is pretty rough, but on paper is a little better considering stuff.

But yeah, sent a trade Kora's way because knew I could find a place where I send Winston away to (with his QB having a Bye, he's probably better than picking up some reject)... for an RB that might be better than nothing? I guess?
---

I might be losing my workhorse RB for 6 weeks, so wheeee.
---

*might* he might do another restraining order because the NFL is being a joke regarding him.
