Ouch! That is rough. I had Drew Brees on the bench in my only league and my DraftKings teams tanked. I did put up 181.34, however, in a .5PPR league with 101+ on the bench. Unless Greg Olsen scores 73.88 points, I'll defeat the undefeated team and take over the No.1 spot at 7-1. So it's least there was sweetness with the bitterness.

I won in most of my leagues yesterday, but feel for the people who lost Bell.  He is a great player.  I went up against Eli Manning yesterday and have a slim lead going into  tonight.  Hopefully Andrew Luck ignores Donte Montcreif.

Good to hear on the former. The latter could go either way.

I need the Panther's D to outscore Gore by 2 points for me to win this week and take my record to 7-1. If Luck keeps fluffing it then I have a chance.

Damn. Just won my fantasy game by about a single point, 131.56 to 130.54. Not even the closest game I've had. Still, guess I can't complain. After losing my first three games, I've gone on a five game win streak.

I was down by about 4 going into today, but Frank Gore got me over the line. There's three of us tied for the lead at 6-2 (one of them only jagged a win because of Luck's last few drives) but next week I get all my byes at once so I'm probably going to get toasted and fall off the pace.

I didn't have any players in the Monday night game, but the other guy did; Jonathon Stewart to be exact. If Stewart had played even a little better, I would have won.

 

Funny part is that in a way this game came down to the worst players on our teams. Bennet for me who only got 3.2 points and E. Sanders for him that only got 2.2 points. I won because my worst player got ten more yards than his worst player.

I lost mine by 1.16 points after the Panthers decided to concede points late on. I'd have won the game week had I come up against anybody else in the league, typical.

The only undefeated team in my league went down last night. Can I call myself Eobard Thawne since I've just ended the mother of all streaks?

last week I won in my espn league by a tenth of a point.  A few weeks ago I lost in the Fleaflicker league by a stat correction.  lol 

 

I'm in five fantasy leagues and doing well in all.  Won in four of them yesterday.

 

Last night I thought for sure I'd lose in the same espn league because Montcrief had 5 touchdowns this season and only needed 7 points to win.  He didn't get two points and I won the game.

Yeah I won from that stat correction lol and have won another game by less than 1 point. I tied in another game but I didn't have as many points on the bench so I guess that is a loss for Fleaflicker.

[RaineV1]

Well, I'm in a bit of a bind this week. My starting and backup QBs are in their bye week (Palmer and Wilson). The one positive is that my league is kinda small so I do have a couple decent options. There's Rivers (vs Chi), Carr (vs Pitt), Bortles (vs NYJ), and Tannehill (vs Buf). Rivers seems like the obvious choice but that offense is just dealing with so many injuries that it worries me. I might go with Carr after what he did to the Jets.

I wonder how many people know that reference.

Andy Dalton absolutely killed me in most of my draft kings leagues last week. Ugh. The one I had Eli in finished ok.

This week I'm using a lot of Cutler, Tyrod and Ben. Stevie Johnson is the best play of the week IMO in the 3000 range. For a number one wideout in the offense leading the league in pass attempts.

The fact that somebody got it is enough for me lol

That's rough. I have a prime-time match up and I feel like Dalton could have a bounce back, but he put forth a poor performance last week. I started Drew Brees in only one league. Phillip Rivers did well and I started him in most leagues, but I also had Steve Smith Sr. and Keenan Allen in a number of them as well. I figured Ben Roethlisberger would be a sleeper and he was not. That's a good trio. Johnson is easily one of the best value selections. I went with Darren McFadden last week in most leagues and I feel that he should remain a solid cheap pick up.

So my opponent this week has Eifert on the bench. Not complaining

Not sure how one could bench Eifert in any case, especially against a secondary missing two of its starters. Bullet dodged.

Yeah not complaining lol

[52520Andrew]

So I am in a PPR(1 point per reception) and can start one of Richard Rogers(Carolina), Nelson Agholor(Dallas), and Andre Johnson(Denver). Not great options for me with John Brown on bye and Kendall Wright out this week

Yikes. No other waiver options?

Not much, it is the 16 team league lol. Guy I am going against is inactive so it shouldn't matter but I do try to score as much as I can no matter the opponent

That's nothing. I won my game by .02 points about 2 weeks ago

Struggling who to pick here.  My WR group is stacked.  PPR league.

 

Need to pick 3 of Julian Edelman, Emmanuel Sanders, Dez Bryant, Allen Robinson, and Stefon Diggs.  I also have John Brown but he's on bye this week.

Edelman for sure.

2 sanders

3 Robinson

4 Diggs

5 fez

If this is a competitive league you should trade!

[rmw10]

I'm definitely running Edelman and Sanders.  I was thinking Robinson but not sure I like the matchup with Revis.  I like Diggs but I'm expecting him to come back to earth a bit this week.  Dez is in a prime position against the Eagles but has Cassell throwing the ball.

 

I've been open to trades but don't really know what I need right now.  I could use a RB with the loss of Bell, but it's hard finding a trade partner for one.  I'm set at QB with Dalton, Palmer, and Ryan.  I have Eifert at TE.  Running with Doug Martin and Chris Johnson at RB now, but only have to play 1 a week.

C.J. Anderson vent - 

 

This guy is the disease of the year for my team. Drafted in 2nd round, started him for weeks and he did absolutely nothing. Picked up Hillman and wasted 2 roster spots for weeks waiting for someone to emerge as the lead back. Hillman appeared to have it 2 weeks ago, so I drop C.J. He has his first good game and gets picked up off waivers. 

 

If that guy blows up to finish and Hillman takes a back seat again ... I'm going to be sick.
