Looks like it’s turning out pretty good.

Damn, I was ok with Herbert’s performance but shoulda stuck with Hurts
Need 8 points (non-PPR) from Engram. Don’t like my chances. Was in good shape till the 20 yard TD to Hopkins.
That Hopkins TD was huge for me. Likely sealed the victory. I had a lot of guys go cold on me, so that was huge. In real time, I was certain it was incomplete and I was cursing my bad luck.
Should have played Salvon. I’m up 131-99 with JuJu left versus his Ebron, Rape, James Washington. I don’t feel great about my chances, i need Ben to suck or JuJu to neutralize his points with a score and some yardage
Going Herbert over Hurts may cost me
My opponent is done and I’m 4 points behind with just the Pittsburgh defense left tomorrow.
They are projected to get 16 points and did last time they played the Bengals, but still I was hoping to sit my defense by having a lead after tonight. Stupid Hardman getting a rare touchdown for him tonight to put him ahead.
My odds are good but I hate relying on defense.
I had a horrific morning as I was against Marvin Jones and Corey Davis and the guy is just a shit owner who has had them all year while I have AJ Brown and Golladay and here it feels like he’s stealing from me.
Thankfully, everybody on my team came to play after that, except Mostert who actually came to play but got hurt as usual. He would need 52 points from Pitt D to beat me. Our D’s score high, but the league record is 50, though if ever there were a team to give it up it’s this Cincy team.
I am now 30 points away from setting the all-time league record for points, so that’s a formality, although the championship is a coin toss. The record was set when the league was 12 teams and it’s now 16, that’s pretty cool. Counting this week, teams have broken 160 points six times this year. Four of them were my team, and twice I missed by less than a point, although I missed out on the highest score of the year by over 20 points. I also scored 55 one week, shrug.
My opponent in the championship had the highest score in Week 1, then lost five straight, finished the season with seven straight wins and got the #2 seed. His team has a lot of weaknesses, but the big one was at QB and now he has Hurts. Sucks. I would have a big advantage at RB, but I am just scrabbling together an RB2 and Flex right now. I’m probably going to have to throw Gaskin in and pray he gets the load. And flex, oh God, I don’t know. I dropped Crowder earlier in the week but picked him back up before afternoon games and stashed him on my bench, sadly I think he gets the nod. Rest of the team is rock solid though.
Also, if he comes back I could start John Brown, AJ Brown, and Antonio Brown at WR (would flex Ridley), also start the Cleveland Browns D, and change my name to Brown Lives Matter.
I wouldn’t actually flex the guy playing early, not that dumb.
Imagine someone saying this in, like, Week 4 with the same implied meaning that Hurts is the kind of game-breaking player that can score as much as two quarterbacks combined.
The guy was getting Week 4 Hurts level production in Week 4.
You’re basically a lock.
Lost by 2.5 points. Oh well, my luck had to run out some time. Maybe CMC will finally come back and I can win the meaningless third place game.
Draftkings’ (not-so) live final winner is either the world’s greatest troll or an amazing moneymaker-esque fish.
He won 2.5 million dollars while burning his flex/util spot (he placed a RB from the early game there and had an afternoon RB in the regular spot, which is something you’ll literally never see except for total recs).
He also had a somewhat injured Chase Edmonds and Durham Smythe in his lineup. Quite a sight.
Plus he’s this guy. Nice to see a rando takes it down and not one of the regular nerds. WOO.

Barring an absolutely historic collapse by the Pittsburgh defense, I’m in the championship game. (Currently 135 to 90, with me having only the Pittsburgh D and my opponent having nothing.)
At QB, I think I’m going to ride the Jalen Hurts train, hoping he didn’t blow his load this week.
At WR, I’m really dreading the Cooper Kupp <50 yards game and am thinking about replacing him with Jarvis Landry (Cleveland).
At RB, I think the only question is what I do if James Robinson is injured, but I’ve got both James Conner and Damien Harris on the bench, so that’s not a complete disaster.

pick up Lev Bell

Excellent advice - just put in a waiver claim to drop Eric Ebron for Bell. I’m priority 7 on the waiver wire, finals opponent is 8.
Really like the idea of having Kelce and a starting Bell in the championship game.
This guy will have a tout site by next Sunday.
I’m shocked he is available, do you have really small benches?
My league is 12 teams with 9 starters (QB, RBx2, WRx2, TE, TE/RB/WR, DEF, K) and 6 bench (plus 2 IR) each.
LOL, if this waiver pickup goes through, 6 of my 15 spots will be RBs:
Kamara
Robinson
Conner
Swift
Harris
Bell
If you are up and he is done then bench your defense
Not looking like it at 0-10 with 9 mins left in 2nd quarter
