The Bills are probably the most usable team all season in suicide. They're a good pick in 7 separate weeks!

That was my reasoning for why the Saints were not a more popular pick.Oh okay. That's still not a great explanation, though. Bills were the only guaranteed team and less than half the people picked them. Saints made more sense to me than Titans, so I think it's fair to wonder how there was that much of a difference in number of picks. --- ... Copied to Clipboard!

Looking back through the spreadsheet I don't see just one game that killed everyone that early. There was Lions+Saints week 1 2018 and Bears+Chiefs week 1 2014. I guess week 2 2016 Lions alone were a pretty big one, too.

We lost 33% of the ESPN league, 36% of the Yahoo league, and a probably similar number of our league to the Titans and Saints.

Panthers at Cardinals? That's insane.
It's Dallas or Vegas. Both teams have future value so I'll probably play ahead a little before I pick.

Somehow when I looked at the Panthers opponent I was on week 10. They're a fair pick.

Well, thanks Bengals, my OCD is in full gear now!
I now have a tentative picklist (with some flex) for every remaining week... Yay? Two teams are locked into specific weeks that I will never take them from barring catastrophic injury. The Texans are interesting. They were competitive with Tyrod - Too competitive to risk taking bad teams against... but with Mills as a totally non-functional QB they are by far the worst team in the league. They don't even feel like anything resembling a threat, and they're a veritable treasure trove of good suicide picks for the next several weeks. It's more about which teams they're playing that you want to save for later. So the question's going to be: When does he come back? I currently have 4 picks against them on this sheet and if he doesn't come back at all it's going up to at least 5. --- So a planet's somewhere out there, their history the same as ours is written.

Most have Tyrod back at week 7 against the Cardinals going by the most optimistic of estimations so that is a good starting point.

They have no reason whatsoever to rush him back. Week 8 would be the earliest I'd think it's possible. The week I'm personally looking at is week 9. The Dolphins are a very weak link on this sheet. I don't even trust picking them at Jacksonville in week 6. Houston's bye immediately follows that Dolphins game. I have a sneaking suspicion he'll return week 11 after the bye, but it's actually a really big gamble if I keep the sheet as it is because I have no escape hatch week 9 if he's playing. --- So a planet's somewhere out there, their history the same as ours is written.

I don't trust the Dolphins enough to even suicide pick them against the Jags.

Im legitimately considering the falcons next week. Send helpHelp has arrived! The Jets defense is, somehow, much better than WFT's. Atlanta struggles in the red zone, where the Jets defense has done it's best work this season in the red zone - they nearly lead the NFL in red zone defensive efficiency. After seeing some flashes of offense competency in that game, I can no longer say for certain the Falcons are meaningfully better than the Jets. The Falcons should also be 0-4 right now. This game is the true definition of "suicide" pick. It's that risky. In the past 12 hours, the Falcons dropped from 16% on ESPN's suicide league to 13%. People who picked it early on are starting to bail out. Dallas also jumped from 8% to 14% in the same timespan. The Raiders and Ravens are still only at 4% and 5%, somehow. --- So a planet's somewhere out there, their history the same as ours is written. The only difference is that... Everyone's a kitten! ...
