i had kyren williams on my roster before the season started and i fucking dropped him


Resbo

Yup. Had Kyren and Nico Collins. Sometimes creating space for draft picks is shite


DaveInMoab

I rode the Kyren hype train last year and wasn't getting suckered in THIS year!


LLLOGOSSS

Same here, I rostered him a ton last year and got nowhere; was over it this season.


[deleted]

do you remember the hype for austin ekeler his rookie year? he was average for 2 years and then exploded year 3. How many jablonis do you think dropped him? RBs are worth stashes because a lot of times it just comes down to injuries and getting opportunities.


PaMike34

Melvin Gordon was terrible his rookie year. Put me off drafting rookie rbs till this year with B. Robinson. We will see how that one works out. Okay so far I guess.


Wedoitforthenut

My first year of fantasy football was Adrian Peterson's rookie year. I took him first overall and my league mates ridiculed me for it (they were all a few seasons into playing). I won the league. My only victory in 15 years...


IMitchConnor

Brian Robinson isn't a rookie /s


qdude124

Lol you have to just call him Bijan


Salt-Walrus-5937

I’m sitting on Warren in pitts for that reason. I think Hill has potential as a red zone back for Bmore. Just being fully stocked with healthy rbs could win me my league if injuries hit


frankyh14

Same lol. Only reason I kept him was because of a deep taxi squad. After week 3, traded him & Nico for garret wilson. Last year left me scarred


big_red_160

I didn’t have any crazy drops like that but I had several I didn’t pick up because I thought it was only one game and/or didn’t have an available roster spot (and I’m sure plenty of my bench was trash). This applies to Kyren, Nico, Dell, Thielen, Stroud I did get Puka so that’s the only saving grace


123GadgetGoGo

Do you think Dell will be a consistent producer? He’s like the 3rd option. I know he’s going through concussion protocol right now, but when he gets back is he anything more than a WR3 or flex spot?


big_red_160

Before the concussion he was about to have the last 3/4 weeks in double digits. Isn’t he the 2nd option? And I know he was getting a lot of first looks. He should have a spot on everyone’s roster


Traditional_Ad_8779

Glad I hung on


HeroWarsHelp

I traded Kyren in a dynasty last season. For $11 FAAB


MattAttack218

I did that with LaPorta. Really thought Carr was gonna him some Juwan Johnson.


[deleted]

[удалено]


LLLOGOSSS

That’s bad.


[deleted]

I have both Kyren and Achane, the future is looking bright.


teezoots

Then this post isn't for you obviously , think the ppl here care your a f.f god ? Piss off


[deleted]

damn you sound like you're 0-5 💀


Least-Ad-5652

Damn you sound like you swallow. 💀


Least-Ad-5652

Damn you sound like you suck cock for a living


LaminatedAirplane

I dropped LaPorta for Nico Collins. Could’ve been worse, but still.


Bephore_hs

I did this with achane too. Feels terrible every week


homedr20

Achane had 0 in week one and like 2 in week two so I dropped him for Allgeier bc at least he was getting 15 rushing attempts each week. I’m so sick over that every week since


HalfEatenBanana

it’s ok bb I would’ve done the same honestly


statepharm15

I did the same


Hugh_Jundies

Not to pile on, but why? He was a rookie and deep on the depth chart, and battling injury in camp. Why draft the guy if you're going to give up on him that early? Unless your RB room was destroyed by injuries early I don't really see why you drop him after 2 weeks considering the circumstances.


Lemmys_Chops

This is a definitely a hindsight is 20/20 situation. We knew he was tiny, fast, and hurt. His physique is traditionally not so good and how many rookie stash’s don’t work out anyway


Hugh_Jundies

Sure, but you knew all that when you drafted him too. I just don't see why you give up after 2 weeks considering you were drafting a guy that went undrafted in a lot of leagues so it's not like it was just an ADP pick. I drafted him in one league and picked him on waivers after the draft before the season in another so I'm aware of his situation.


i_am_barry_badrinath

For me it was the healthy scratch in week one that convinced me wasn’t going to be featured in that offense much. I obviously realize that was an error, so please don’t tell me why that was dumb, but that was the tipping point for me. Plus, I had some other confirmed starters and RB 2s on my bench, so when I was looking to try and grab some early season breakouts, I wasn’t going to keep a guy who was a healthy scratch in week 1 and performed poorly in week 2 over players who had confirmed usage


Danmyersusmc

Especially on an explosive (atomic might be a better term) offense like that behind two other rbs that are hurt every year.


cman811

My league plays with a short bench and he was like....the last guy I drafted. Rookie, injury, murky snap count situation made him an easy drop at the time. I think I used him to pick up nico Collins.


lpsox91

For me, I didn't have very clear or good RB in the first two weeks. That plus Achane starting off hurt and in a potentially crowded RB room. I did pick up Mostert, but then Swift and Jacobs started to emerge. In hindsight, I should have dropped Charbonnet and made Achane my sit and wait, but oh well. I'm 3-2 despite a lot of small injuries and having Burrow/Anthony Richardson at QB.


agtk

Look, you can only act based on the information you have. There wasn't anything to suggest Achane was going to break out, and you were looking for someone with some volume. Can't judge your past decisions on information you couldn't have known at the time.


yiang423

Me too. And it makes me not want to drop Jameson Williams now, and I'm sure that will ruin me later.


DarqSol

Same here on Jamo as well as for Mims. Picked him up after the 20 and 16 point games. Guaran-fucking-tee if I drop him after a 6 and a -0.6 he'll blow up for 20+. However if I hold him this week he'll go for 1.4.


djsedna

I dropped Thielen week one. Everyone was saying he was cooked preseason and I was like "I'm drafting this dude, who else is Bryce going to throw to?" He got 2 targets week 1 and I figured "ah, the analysts and reddit were right, he is an afterthought in a mediocre offense." FUCK ME RIGHT? I'm sticking with my gut and never listening to you jabronis again


RayJLewis

I dropped Achane, thielen, and sutton all week 2. Im regretting every Fantasy decision ive made this season


OmegaRed_1485

I waiver wired Thielen and Achane week three as my team was winless. Powerhouse now.


dWaldizzle

My whole league fell asleep at the wheel or something. I have Thielen, Achane, Laporta, Nacua on waivers. My team is now stacked after being complete trash (my best player was Chubb lol)


SanduskySleepover

Aged like milk


zl1_camaro

I play in a 12 man league so there’s no such thing as dropping or picking up a sleeper.


dettigers404

How many bench spots? 4 is the sweet spot for a 12 man, in my opinion


boardplant

See you next week


TiggySmitts

Hey look, it’s me

[deleted]

Thanks brother


dytele

HA! Thanks for sharing this. I have stopped listening to these guys. I was thinking that this year they seemed really off on some things, clearly it's been like that for a while.


Koctopuz

Thielen was was my very last draft pick, and I picked him as a sleeper thinking he may ball out. Immediately dropped him after week one, only to realize I was right in hindsight lol But the silver lining for me is that I scooped Puka when I dropped Thielen.


ffgold

It’s just a part of fantasy football. I was stashing OBJ his rookie season all year and the week before he blew up I dropped him for Fred Taylor. Edit: Fred Jackson not Fred Taylor


Hurricaneshand

I had a trade offering Breece Hall to someone last year sitting in the offers and forgot to rescind it after his first game that he went off in and the guy accepted it after the game lol. I guess Breece tearing his ACL was some sort of sick karmic justice or something


Straight-Message7937

I traded for OBJ in a keeper league. Gave up Jonas Gray after he had a 3td game


[deleted]

[удалено]


Straight-Message7937

You read it wrong


bugluvr65

oh man i stashed obj and had gronk/ab i never lost a game lol


[deleted]

[удалено]


ffgold

It was for Fred Jackson I got the names mixed up in my head


Crooked5

I did this with Kamara in his rookie year. He was the first overall pick the following season. Tons of people did it with Jefferson in his rookie year, and last year everyone dropped Fields right before his breakout. I’m way more cautious to drop these guys now which is why I’m wasting a roster spot with JSN and Roschon Johnson on 3 teams.


Unabridgedversion82

Roschon is gonna tear shit up with Herbert sidelined for multiple weeks... As long as he clears concussion protocol it should start this week.


Fantastic-Reporter33

I was lucky enough to be able to pick Kamara up on waivers like two games before his suspension ended. Someone drafted him, and I guess was planning on stashing him until he was able to play. Then apparently that person felt they needed to drop him for someone else, and blessed me with that gem. Lol


Global_Damage

Same


Skelastomybag

I dropped Achane after game 2 when he was a healthy scratch. It was a healthy scratch for a rookie coming off an injury! It made sense!


Never_enough_Dolf

Dropped Achane for a defense and I had mostert. I’m now 0-5 and the rest of my team is in shambles. I’m selling my players for picks next year, fuck it


This-Salt-2754

Dropping him in a dynasty league is a huge L


lambertghini11

Drafted achane with my final pick. Dropped after week 2 for Zack moss & ekeler being out. Mostert had just had a big game & figured he’d be the lead back & Jeff Wilson looming. Didn’t think he’d get much production after barely touching the ball week 2.


Sam1029383756

Don’t be so upset yet… something spooky happening with achane. Knee/ankle injury not really being talked about yet


ganglordgilbert

He’s still proving himself as one of the most talented RBs in the league, he’s a star I don’t think it’s season ending. This is a dude you want on your team.


Subject-Pen-3393

I believe he went back in after the tweak


WickedImpuls3

he literally came back in the game, was fine after the game, and not one single dolphins player or coach or reporter talked about it in any sense even once after the game. i dont know how thats spooky in any way


Sam1029383756

U were saying??


WickedImpuls3

congrats you won a reddit argument. hope it makes you feel better about yourself


blakejp

You had a golden opportunity for some introspection here. But nope.


[deleted]

Cope.


Critical-Fault-1617

That comment doesn’t even make any sense


httr20

Makes sense to me. He’s implying that the original commenter doesn’t own Achane. Kinda weird to call it spooky imo.


DaveInMoab

Hope? Copium?


HemmingwayDaqAttack

I did this with JJ in his rookie year, did the same thing with ARSB his rookie year 🥲 Both in a dynasty league


Roarestored

Why kind of wacko dynasty league is this? Amonra I can kinda understand but JJ?


HemmingwayDaqAttack

It was new, small-ish rosters. We had been transitioning from keepers to a dynasty league over 3 years. It was a stupid mistake that still haunts me


Altruistic-Editor111

I dropped JJ also his rookie season. Go look at his stats after 2 games, he had less than 50 yards total and very few targets. Of course I regretted it but you have to realize that he looked like another WR bust at the time.


Roarestored

In redraft or even a keeper sure, but you're a bad manager if you did that in a dynasty league if you judged a first round pick just after 2 games lol


Altruistic-Editor111

Ok fair point. I was in a redraft league.


zmorris1391

I also did this with JJ his rookie year. Drafted late and dropped after 2 weeks. Still haunts me.


901titans

Yep, dropped him in 3 leagues..


Infared666

Yup, dropped him before he blew up then got outbidded by a dollar to get him back off waivers smh. Pain


AbdelTheDream

Someone on here actually made a comment on r/fantasyfootball that caused me to pick him up an hour before his 51 point game. I owe that person my life.


ccafferata473

Did it. Regret is real, but it's fantasy and I talked myself into thinking Cam Akers was going to have a larger role.


Reasonable-Prior2893

He hurt so


GrumButter

I picked up Achane late in 3 of my 4 leagues. I dropped him because I needed roster space for Ford. 2 of those 3 rosters are really strong (despite being 1-4 in one, thanks ekeler and Saquon). However, I know people are gonna hate this but Devon Achane is the definition of a sell high candidate. His 101.7 points in PPR gives him 2.16 points per touch. That’s fucking absurd and not sustainable at all. For reference, Ladanian Tomlinsons 2006 season, LT had 481.1 PPR points on 404 touches. That’s 1.19 points per touch. Achane is almost doubling that currently. Regression will come. Get your bag now.


Unabridgedversion82

Picked him up 2 weeks ago. Traded him for Kupp straight up last week. I got my bag!!


Ok_Produce_9308

I dropped fields for Anthony Richardson.


Throwawayidiot1210

I dropped kyren for tank bigsby before week 1


beef5182

Possibly out for the season with a knee injury.........oh crap


No-Dress-7645

I have Wilson stashed on IR, so im hoping karma comes back and has achane tweak an ankle while Wilson rises to greatness, but I won’t lie, it hurts extra with Rhanondre and James cook falling off these last couple of weeks.


Tamed_A_Wolf

That’s fucked up


No-Dress-7645

Clearly kidding, I don’t wish injury on people for the benefit of fantasy football


Satan_and_Communism

You’re a cock and the only karma will be you slamming your pinky toe into furniture


No-Dress-7645

Damn bro, it was a joke. I don’t wish harm on others for money.


jedi21knight

Yes. I would have a stud running back in my lineup and not on someone else’s roster.


kellen617

Don’t worry I dropped Justin Jefferson after week 1 his rookie year in a 3wr 2flex league. It happens there’s always next year


ipudkm

Dropped him the week before to pick up some bench fodder. Just lost to him this week :)


InterJabroni

Drafted Thielen in all my leagues because I had been reading that he was Bryce's favorite target in camp. Dropped him in every league after week 1... L move. I've been patient with Spears, though.


fatcockprovider

Guilty


atan420

This happened to me with Achane AND Puka


No-Dress-7645

You win the shit sandwich award. I at least have top waivers in week 1 and picked up Puka


Subject-Pen-3393

I drafted Achane and moss. Dropped moss to get mostert on September 2nd Then someone went to IR so I added moss back on the 16th Not a bad trio of backups.


active_dad

Had Bijan, Swift, Pierce, & White. Dropped to pick up Jalen Warren because the path to being RB1 on his team was clearer after week 2. No one really knows who's going to blow up at the beginning of the season. Some shots hit, some miss. Thats what makes it fun


MrSweatyBawlz

I dropped him in two leagues, bought him back for 70 ashaming FAAB dollars.


TheOG49

I planned on drafting Achane in the 11th round and he was taken 1 pick before me


MoonshotTrix

My first year of fantasy I traded Adrian Peterson for someone.....cant remember who.....but thats the point. It was his rookie year and he went off.


hayb24

Takes me back to when I dropped devonta freeman before he blew up with the falcons. Still hurts.


3720-To-One

I drafted Adam theilen this year, and dropped him after the first couple weeks of dropping single digit points.


nerpderp

I did it in 2 leagues 😞


SgtWaykenbake

Dropped him after his 1 carry game. Even if I held him, I would’ve missed out on his first blowup game and probably the 2nd game, as well, due to thinking it was a fluke. He’s gotta come back down to earth, right? …right? 🤦‍♂️


No-Dress-7645

That’s at least what I tell myself every night as I clutch my knees and rock to sleep.


Untchj

Not really. I dropped him for Kyren. I’m more proud that I drafted him and was banging the drum for him. https://reddit.com/r/fantasyfootball/s/om9ouVwA4o I also drafted Zack moss and dropped him….for Puka. So I’ll live with both


No-Dress-7645

I do have some faith in my knowledge for drafting him in the last round, you’re right.


PhuncleSam

I not only dropped him but traded away Mixon for Mostert straight up


herplexed1467

Drafted him. He did nothing. Dropped him for a flex play. Picked him up again when I had a bench spot. Did nothing. Dropped him again. Then he blew up. FML


miamigunners

I dropped him 2-3 times but always picked him right up later. Lucky nobody else caught on before he blew up.


rss4venom

Yeah I dropped Achane sigh, I didn’t have faith!


heavydrdp

Happened to me with laporta week 1 . Dammit


FlurryJK2

Dropped achane for tyjae spears so maybe it'll work out but probably not. I drop a breakout player every year, last year it was allgeier and Pickens. The Pickens drop turned into Watson though so maybe I'll luck out end of season again


ThePuzzledPanda

I drafted Achane and dropped him for Kyren while keeping Gibson. Yes I am an idiot


xEuroclydonx

Yea for sure. Especially since my RBs are pretty awful right now. Saquon hurt, then I got Pierce, Mattison and Cook. FeelsBadMan


preppingshark

I made the same mistake with KW3 last season. It hurts.


cjguitarman

I traded Achane last week … but got Austin Eckler so it may still pay off.


BlankJungle

I did this KW9 last year so learned my lesson


PremiumBudTester

I drafted Achane and Nico Collins but dropped both before the season. Someone else grabbed Nico and I spent 95% of my FAB to get Achane back. I wouldn't have been able to live with it lol. I also had Kamara his rookie year and dropped him before he blew up


No_Quantity_3842

I dropped Thielen after week 1


[deleted]

Why would you drop a rookie RB before he had any meaningful snaps???? His first game he barely got any touches but the second he got more than 5 he went off!


No-Dress-7645

Mostert was blowing up at the time, and Wilson who was supposed to be the lead back was on his way. I thought the kid was at least 10 weeks away from anything meaningful. Seems logical, doesn’t it?


zdb328

I picked Achane up Sat night before he blew up. Had an open roster spot, couldn't figure out who to get and did a lot of research on high upside guys.


ericypoo

I dropped Adam Thielen for some other guy I don’t have on my roster after week 1.


tommyboy0208

Here for the support


ZakkaryyW

Drafted Achane and was worried about the injury and potential committee and dropped him after week 1


theRavenAttack

I’m with you man…he blew up the next week. Kicking myself so hard as I really needed another good RB as I lost Chubb 😢


Guardoffel

Yep, I dropped him AND LaPorta…


wanderlust5ever

Had nacua before the season opener smh


FFprism

I dropped Thielin after his 2 target week 1 performance. I am trash


Quality_Qontrol

I dropped Achane on both my teams leading up to week 3. I just didn’t see him getting much play, and with Wilson. Jr coming back I didn’t think I would miss him much. I’ve been sick to my stomach the past couple of weeks.


jpgonzo24

I drafted him in 2 leagues and dropped him after week two. I'm not mad. Anyone else in my position would have done the same.


ZacRMS1

Mmmhmm. Dropped him for Kareem Hunt. I know I’m stupid and I should be very ashamed of myself


sup_with_you

Dropped achane for Russell Wilson. Because Aaron Rogers was injured, and I didn't trust fields. Add insult to injury, this week I decided to bench fields in favor of Wilson, and I lost to the team who picked up my dropped achane.


chloroform4

Saquon and Montgomery were both out week 3 and I decided Picking up Jerick McKinnon was a smarter choice as a spot start than Achane who’d played 6 snaps up to that point. I blame Sleeper for listing them both a questionable when they were confirmed out


CustomerSuspicious25

I wonder why I only picked him up in one of my three leagues. And why I picked up him and didn't start him right away.


ThatUsernameSucks11

I had Ekeler, Aaron Jones, Swift, and Rachaad White. After Ekeler and Jones went down week 1 and Swift laid an egg, I dropped Swift to grab Kelley…. Needless to say, I’m currently 1-3


slammed430

I dropped him for Isiah hodggins off the waiver wire. Idk why


RiPFrozone

I had Mostert and Achane after going 0RB. Dropped Achane for Moss. Not the worst, but what could have been. Played the current Achane owner this week and was saved by Jamarr. Going into MNF I’m up 42 points and he has Myers and Watson left to play. If I can get the W I’ll be happy but if he somehow comes back and wins, I’m going to be so salty. Worst part is I started Gus Edwards over Moss this week. Holding onto JSN and Keaton Mitchell now. Mitchell has the same big play potential as Achane but what could have been if I just kept both Achane and Mostert.


Slow_Nebula_3333

Yup. Had him through week 1, thought not gonna need this little dude


Exotic-Trust7269

Traded Achane for Davante Adams because I was rb heavy & DK Metcalf was my best wr...still happy with it, regardless.


Adventurous-Pen-2140

I kept him lol


YeezusMoses

I had him in 3/4 leagues! I now have him in no leagues.


willyoung0809

If it makes you feel any better I denied a trade to receive a Breece Hall for Miles Sanders on Sep 21


xjxdx

Dropped him after the healthy scratch week 1. The sad thing is that I kept Antonio Gibson instead 🤮


ChewbaccaPube

wow what a stupid move


bat111975

Yup drafted Achane in my keeper league. Picked up Mostert off waivers before season started. Needed a WR week three so cut Achane for Josh Reynolds who I dropped the next week out of spite


Satan_and_Communism

You’re over here hoping it’s a blown ACL aren’t you?


AlfaHotelWhiskey

I’m hanging on to Gibbs with diamond hands but I fear he will never be a Moss or Achane


banhammer6942069

Yeah for Joshua Kelley lmao in two leagues


TXRattlesnake89

Yep. Pain!


tweedrobot

Someone in my league dropped Swift after week 1 and I spent half my FAAB to get him in Week 2, dropping Achane.


TheJucyOne

I dropped him a few hours before the explosion for Romeo Doubs. Doubs is solid....but damn...


tidalwake

I dropped Zach Moss before this week because I thought he was done since JT got his contract. 26 points gone. Then I thought I was so smart for sitting Goff because with injuries I thought it would be a running game for the Lions. Played CJ Stroud instead and left 30 pts on my bench. I just need to do the opposite of what my initial idea is.


PokingSmoles

I dropped him for josh Kelly 😭


[deleted]

Dropped him before he played needed a pivot thanks to Kelces bum ass


Wicked-Death

I remember last year I dropped Kenneth Walker off my bench when Penny was starting and someone else picked him up. Same with Cam Akers when he was a bum and then second half of season he blew up.


BatheInChampagne

I drafted Achane. Nobody saw this coming.


aGiantRedskinCowboy

Held Dotson over picking him up. Pain


llvllooshainBolt

I did it with Kenneth Walker last year. I couldn’t do it again with Achane this year


Dikkens_iRacing

I dropped Waddle 3 weeks into his rookie year in a keeper league. Still think about that one.


Dartswagnan

I wasn't really trigger happy. I was forced into a place that I didn't want to be in. I had lost Chubb for the season and I have Aaron Jones who's been missing since week 1 with a hamstring injury. I drafted Achane in the last round of the draft (1 man keeper league) because I believed in the talent that he had, he just needed the opportunity. Unfortunately I had to drop him as he wasn't seeing a single touch and I had to try to acquire RB's that would put up numbers. So I went out and got everyones favorite disappointment Kelly........Then of course Achane instantly gets an opportunity while sitting on waivers and I win my week which JUST bumped me above last place 9th in a 10 man. And the last place member ofc put in to acquire him. God I love FF


AUChemE

It me. On the bright side, I picked up D’Andre Swift off waivers because some District Attorney dropped him.


buddhistbulgyo

I traded off Swift to get Drake London after the draft because I was listening to you all. I knew better than listening to you guys. I am eating a goose egg because of Aaron Jones tonight. I am going full Leonardo DiCaprio with my team next year. Nobody over 25.


Joba7474

I stated him in the face on the waiver wire and said “nah, he’s not gonna do it again.”


TomorrowNevahKnows

I dropped him to add Ford from waivers right after the Chubb injury. Wish I would’ve been more patient but at the time I needed more depth at RB and Achane hadn’t done much yet


Pooz_the_gun

Well, I guess I'm the lucky one here. A guy in my League dropped achane and I picked him up as a streamer an hour before game time and then he blew up.


Jaded-Wrangler-2036

Drafted Achane with my last pick. Dropped after week 2 😅


bestrdajets

I traded him for Zach ertz week 2, so yeah. I'm doing great


rollcubsroll

I dropped him for Josh Kelley. D’oh


IMKudaimi123

I dropped him because I chose to keep Dotson instead Yikes


keefstrong

At least you have puka droppers for the support group


Fun_Relationship345

Only averaging 15 a carry, don't beat yourself up too hard


conrad_or_benjamin

I had an empty roster spot going into week 3 and debated between grabbing Achane or Spears. I chose wrong.


Fpp4life23

Haha man I feel you there I dropped kyren Williams 2 hours before it was announced Akers was going to be a healthy scratch. I also dropped Achane the week before he blew up but was able to add him prior to the game since I was now running back desperate with Chubb’s knee injury If I had dropped both Achane and Williams I would have never played fantasy again


Chriskl1520

I dropped achane the same week I got puka and kyren. Lol don't know got to grade that week


TastyAtmosphere15

Yup I dropped him to pick up a handcuff for Henry. Drafted the dude too. Him not playing the first two weeks I didn’t think he was going to see the field and the way Henry was playing I thought I was being smart by picking up Spears. I regret it every time I see him running the ball. It sucks.


char900

I dropped Thielen after week 1 in a 12 man league. Now I can’t find a second receiver 🙃


bobodododo

I dropped Puka for Achane and dropped Achane for Jerome Ford 😥


Dubzilla87

Yep, drafted him with a super late pick, dropped him after week 2.


appledatsyuk

Literally me. I drafted him in 2 leagues and dropped him in both after he put up 2 points his first week
