all I need to win is for T.Y. Hilton to have the best game of his career tomorrow.

this, but I only need 15.85 pts from him
---

I'm probably going to win again and that's all I care about.

While literally starting Jacoby Brissett because I traded away my only good qb for one that was on bye "whoops"
---

6-0 after today, provided the colts kicker doesnt somehow score 29 points tomorrow

this will all come crashing down soon, Im sure especially dependung on fournettes injury

I need 30.5, lol

0.25 ppr

So like 2 TDs, 170 yards would do it
---

AP becoming the guy for the Cardinals is such a huge change.

The person in my league who pays the least attention was late to the draft, and it auto drafted Antonio Brown for him round 1. We were all kind of OK with it, because most people were targeting RBs first. He ended up with Gurley and Hyde, which at the time seemed relatively weak. He also took AP later on which looked like a hilarious bust. Now he's in a fantastic position to win the league.

Figured I'd get your guys take on my predicament tonight.

Down 8.5 points and my opponent still has Tennessee's Defense to play. I can roll with a gimpy Mariota (who might not even be able to finish the game) or the uninspiring Brissett at QB. Who would you guys start?
---

Probably Mariota, because if he's healthy he's solid.

Brissett isn't good in any situation.
---

thought I was playing against Colts kicker tonight, just doubled checked and it actually the Titans kicker



still up by 16 going into the 4th quarter, but still
---

I knew trusting a QB with a bum hamstring who relies on his legs to extend plays and is on a team that is run first was a terrible decision. Yet I started Mariota anyway. That slide at the line of scrimmage was pathetic. Didn't even try to get any yardage out of it.

That Henry run nearly fucked me. If Tennessee gets an INT, fumble recovery, or 4th down stop, I lose.

Mariota 50 yard TD bomb bailed me out. Won by 0.7 points. Thank you, reverse jinx and thank you, Mariota.
---

thanks for nothing, Hilton

and I lost my other two WRs to injuries so I'll probably run him out there next week
---

Good thing about hilton's dud is now at least I don't have to be as salty about that ASJ TD-jk-fumble.

I faced the highest scoring team this week. But I can't complain, I'm in a four way tie for first and sit at 9th out of 12 in total points.

It's still a tossup though. We have a 6 team playoff and right now we have four teams at 4-2, four teams at 3-3, and four teams at 2-4.
---

corrik has over 800 points and is 1-5 how does that even happen
---

that's pretty impressive
---

Not the first time this has been pointed out. I'm at least happy I have outscored him so I don't have to feel guilty about having a better record.
---

What do you guys think of this trade:

Tom Brady + James White + Alex Collins

for

Mark Ingram + Keenan Allen

The Rodgers owner doesn't have a backup and he's 2-4, so he's desperate. My backup would be Tyrod Taylor, who hasn't looked great, but his 2nd half schedule is a lot softer, and his last four matchups (weeks 13-16) are awesome - Pats, Colts, Dolphins all at home then @Pats for the FF championship.

I think I like it. Feels like I'm exploiting him, but curious if I'm underestimating the loss of Brady too much. Or maybe trusting Ingram too soon. But Saints are a high octane offense and it definitely looks like he's the guy there. I'd have him and McCoy, who I'm also expecting to turn it up in a major way for the rest of the season.
---

I only have 6 players left on my team from the draft.
---

and since I never really looked at my draft I finally did that

I have my 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and... 15th pick left.
---

thats pretty good, all things considered! a lot of people dont have all their top 5 picks intact
---

let's call it 4.5 though since Jordy Nelson probably won't be as good moving forward

oh man I never looked at the yahoo grading thing either

Draft Summary
FFDeez Nuts should consider renaming the team "Learning Experience," because that's what this draft was. Picking 12th, FFDeez Nuts bumbled their way through their picks, leading to a projected finish of 13th in The Best Board 8 League with a record of 1-12-0 (1,766 points).

you auto-drafted me this shitshow, yahoo, you have only yourself to blame

(also 4-2 right now so double suck it yahoo, I frankensteined this into something mediocre+)
---

wow

Yahoo shade
---

Football soon.
---

My opponent has Crabtree.

At the end of regulation, and for the first two plays after regulation, Crabtree only had 2 catches for about 20 yards. Hell yes. But on the third play after regulation, he got a TD.

Still not exactly tragic for me, but it sucks seeing it go from a fantastic result to just a blah result when the game could have been over multiple times.

Gotta love fantasy...
---

Damn Amari Cooper's back

@WickIebee can I try offering again...
---

I'm playing against Cook.

So that pull back on the TD was A++ for me
---

I mean why specifically this week wouldn't Amari put up 40 points.

That's weird because I also pay the least attention is this league, drafted Antonio Brown in the first round, and took AP later on! Unfortunately I don't have Gurley or Hyde though

I also unfortunately had AP on the bench last week despite both my RBs being on IR :I
---

Lynch out for next week.
---

Football tomorrow
---

augh, fournette is out for the week

rip my undefeated record
---

In my not-B8 league, I had Rodgers as my QB.

Then I picked up Palmer this week.

I am afraid for the next person I pick up.

Pick up dak prescott thanks.
---

he is way taken

top five free agents are:
C. Keenum Min - QB
B. Bortles Jax - QB
B. Roethlisberger Pit - QB
J. McCown NYJ - QB
T. Siemian Den - QB
---

Id probably go...bortles there?
---

That was my thinking too, but he has a bye next week so I still need a stopgap.
---

well dont pick siemian because the broncos fucking suck

jesus

Tell me about it. I'm not undefeated, but I didn't even pick up the right guy off the bench to replace him. Murray's got 17.30 going to waste right now.

Remarkably, I'm favored 2:1 right now, but I feel like I should be getting trashed.
---

Kenny stils almost singlehanded saved my week but now the broncos are dead set on dragging me down

and my kicker got injured.
---

dak carrying me this week
---

boo dak

dak carrying me this week

Zeke carrying me.
---

well that 70 yd pass td to zeke certainly helped us both
---

somehow need to avoid a combined 20 points from tevin coleman and zach ertz

so rip me
---

Steelers D/ST stepped it up big time in the 2nd half. Might be just enough to keep me afloat this week.

I need Brady to stay within 4 points of Chris Thompson + Gillislee.

Got a feeling I may regret sitting James White this week.
---

Seems like I rely on Zach Ertz getting 13 points
---

That TD pass tho
---

oh hey i have cooks
---

managed to survive that game with Coleman only getting one point so I just need ertz to to get less than 19 tomorrow

should be close
