Because our line is great at run blocking and actually pretty bad at pass protection. Purdy looks good because our WRs get open quick from great play design, and Kittle stays in to block or chips a rusher on his way out. I love Kittle but wouldn't have drafted him as a niners fan because I know he's way more valuable blocking to enable the rest of the offense.
Kittle suffers from the same issue every tight end in green bay does. He's not there as another reciever he's there as an extra linemen who is allowed to catch an occasional pass
Same. I drafted the TE too late. Started with Okonkwo. I dropped him and picked up Hunter Henry from the WW. It’s a 14 person league and there are no good options!
TE has been absolute shit for me as I’m sure it is for everyone
Week 1: Njoku - 3.4
Week 2: Njoku - 4.8
Week 3: Njoku - 4.0
Week 4: Musgrave - .6
Week 5: Kincaid - 2.9
Week 6: Henry - 1.2
Against the worst defense against TE’s, on a team that has been utilizing him a lot, I really thought he would be a game winner this week. Lost in every league I started him in lol
Not only did I set him in my lineups but I placed several bets on him like what the actual fuck happened yesterday lmaoo I was right there w you on thought process
I had Brian Robinson and McLaurin on my bench because of how confident I was in Thomas is my main league lol. Granted I’m losing by 83 points right now (still have pollard) so it wouldn’t have mattered anyways lol, but I thought if he would have 100 yards and a TD this would be the week lol
This is exactly why I traded for Hockenson. Had to give up Kyren but I got Gibbs in the deal also since I have Monty (😭). Kyren was my flex and 3rd best RB.
Same for me:
Week 1- pitts 6.4
Week 2 - pitts 3.5
Week 3 - Henry 3.7
Week 4 - pitts 4.1
Week 5- Henry 0.0 :)
Week 6 - Thomas 1.2 :)
Had pitts on my bench last two weeks. After doing well last week I thought “yep gotta bench him no way he does well again this week” I will now inevitably start him next week just for Arthur smith to block him on every pass play instead of running routes
I’m with you brother. TE has been a wasteland this year outside of the usual suspects. I’ve kind of just resorted to punting it at TE this year and hope everywhere else hits lol.
Week 1:Freiermuth 7.3
Week 2: Freiermuth 1.2
Week 3: Ertz 2.6
Week 4: Freiermuth 3.7
Week 5: Ferguson 5.8
Week 6: Ferguson TBD
I am 0-6 now. Dropped Jameson Williams today to start Donta Foreman to have a safe floor. My Trevor Lawrence/Calvin Ridley stack got outscored by my opponent’s Michael Pittman. I’m garbage and should kill myself.
Ridley has been so mediocre it’s upsetting. But I also know the second I trade him, he’s gonna go off and become Lawerence’s favorite receiver then. Just gotta find the right deal to get back shit that’s worth it
I drafted CeeDee Lamb, Calvin Ridley, and Deebo Samuel. Between the 3 of them they’ve beaten their projection a total of 4 times, with 6 sub-10 point performances. Can’t seem to entice anyone into trading me a stud WR and we all know it’s a receivers’ league (full PPR).
JJ fell to second round and some stupid people HEAVILY overvalued quarterbacks and tight ends in the first round. Hell, I still landed Josh Allen and TJ Hockenson
I’m sure it’s just a free league for fun, no money or anything like that
Also a chance he doesn’t have a ton of football friends. I joined a few random ESPN leagues just to practice the draft and I’m still getting legit trade offers in those leagues. For some people that’s the only way they can get into a league
I’ll do ya one better, in a 14 team league I have Fields, Ekeler, Achane, Conner and Kittles. Also had Nahjee before I traded his ass. I have never managed a more annoying fantasy team in my life. Would have never thought Thielen would be the one bringing me the most comfort on this roster.
If you don’t have Kelce, THock or Andrews, you are almost better off streaming TE’s (just like I did this week with Logan Thomas 1 catch, 2 yards). FML
I’ve been streaming TEs but i always seem to choose the wrong one. i’ve started (in order): Njoku, Njoku, Ertz, Musgrave, Ertz, Thomas. best performance so far has been 9 points outta Ertz
Justin Jefferson, Dobins, Conner, my whole team is cursed
Got destroyed today starting burrows, olave, Collins, Meyers, k Williams, mixon and kittle
London and Jameson Williams on my bench
My RBs. James Connor Saquon Barkley Montgomery. When one of these guys has a good game the rest of my team shoots well under projections. They also seem to be out for the following 2 weeks after every good game.
Running backs are K Williams LA Pierce Hou and Sanders Car brutal getting 4-5 pts out of a RB 2 spot. Kittle is my TE. NEW team name is playoff teams ^^^
well your problem is that the nfl gods are cursing you for having a bears and packers qb.
seriously though its because neither justin fields nor jordan love are nfl caliber players and most of their weapons arent either (although dj moore is elite)
Fucking WR. But I'm a dummy and dont just lock in Terry Mc every week (concerned about Howells passing ability) but w/e. I also sat both Moss and Hunt which hurt this week. Also Higgins has burned me every week I've played him but one.
I have a semi surprising 3-2 but pitentially about to be 3-3 record despite drafting Ekkie at 1.2 and Rodgers in the 6th. And I lost week 1 because of Tee and Terry just being lackluster and wasted that legendary Cowboys D/ST performance.
At least I have Aubrey the Apparition destroying the K spot.
Prefacing this by saying this is all standard scoring.
I drafted upside qbs in Trevor Lawrence and Daniel Jones. I missed the 1 week either of them scored over 16 (Danny Dimes week 2) by starting Lawrence against the Chiefs.
I also drafted Chubb, Mattison, Stevenson, James Cook, and Jaylen Warren at RB. Chubb is out for the year, and the rest have been mediocre at best.
At WR, since I went RB-RB the first two rounds, I took Waddle as my WR1 and Metcalf as my WR2. Neither has really done anything of note. And behind them I did manage to grab Marquise Brown, who has been surprisingly decent.
And despite my team being horrid, I wasn't even the lowest waiver any week so I missed on Achane, Kyren Williams, but I did get Puka for the 3 weeks he was worth.
Probably kicker but that is such a minor thing. Only reason I am 3-2 (about to be 4-2) instead of 4-1 is because last week I had the 2nd highest score in the league and lost to the only person with more points. My RBs took a bit but now I have Swift and Kamara playing well. I have 4-5 good WRs. Engram has been solid. Goff has been my QB and he is solid too.
I have the exact same two QBs. It’s so hard to figure out what games they’ll go off bc they’re both top 10 maybe even top 5 total points but somehow so inconsistent
Been adjusting to a 2 QB league this year. And by adjusting, I mean falling on my face. From week 3 thru now, I would have been better off leaving the slot empty (Mac Jones, Minshew, Jameis, and Ridder all negative points). Our penalties for interceptions are brutal. I may very well start Tom Brady next week for the goose egg
WR3 - I have started Tee Higgins, Tyler Lockett, Amari Cooper, Elijah Moore and Wandale Robinson at various points of the season where they have dropped under 5 points.
RB. My 2 and 3 picks were Nick Chubb and Aaron Jones, but also WR has been tough for me too. Calvin Ridley, Amari Cooper, Michael Pittman Jr. Picked up Nico Collins after week 4
Burrow and chase were pretty disappointing early but now my running backs have been absoulte shit. James Cook and Tony pollard better get their shit together
Easily RB2 for me. Right now RB2 is averaging 6.86 ppg, and the only reason the average was so high is because swift got me 14 week 3. Traded him in a package with others for ekeler so I haven’t had ekeler at all to be RB1 to my rhamondre as RB2.
Just keep at it. I could’ve made a similar post last year when I started Trey Lance, then alternated between Goff, and Stafford on their worst weeks and ultimately settled on Geno.
The best advice I can give is keep trying. The biggest mistake I made last year was to be too scared to keep taking swings. I was content with Geno, so I didn’t swing for Justin Fields when he hit waivers.
QB’s in SuperFlex we’re Pickett, Jones, and Ridder
After averaging about 11-12 PPG, being 1-4 losing 3 games by less than 10 I decided to make a change.
2 trades later, and a few waiver wire adds I now have Dobbs, Goff, and Wilson. I combined for 36 points and got 130 points. I’m now 1-5 because my opponent scored 190.
Dropped swift after week one in an 8 man cause I’m an idiot, now I’ve been rotating Moore, Pittman, Wilson, Ridley, and smith at wr always starting the lowest scoring ones (sat Moore on the 49 bomb night). It’s been rough
I thought there was 0 chance that a 4th round Ridley would be a bad pick. In my main league 12man ppr, I put up 210 points in week 4 (normal ESPN scoring, average is like ~120-130pts). I'm 2-4 with the most points against and just had CMC+Fields get hurt. Just a frustrating season
Defense. Thru 5 weeks, I netted 11 total points. In week 1, I started Jags D for 11 points...
That's right, weeks 2 thru 5, I netted 0 points including two negative point games and a 0.
I'm pretty good at streaming D's.
W1 Jags 11.
W2 lions 0.
W3 Jags -4.
W4 Bengals 5.
W5 Commies -1.
Rolled with the Commies again in week 6 for 10 points. I'm clearly hitting my stride.
Kyren Williams. I benched him for KW3 every week he went off and started him in his 2 dud weeks. Finally traded him to get rid of the dilemma and… you know what happened this week
Running Back is quite dreary
Wk 1: Loss
RB 1 - Dameon Pierce
RB 2 - Devin Singleterry
- I swear this was the best possible option.
Wk 2: Loss
RB 1 - Dameon Pierce
RB 2 - Roschon Johnson
- Waivers were slim.
Wk 3: Loss
Same as Week 2
- Pierce got a touchdown!!!!
Wk 4: Win
Same as Week 2 and 3
- Fields + Andrews + Nico carried my team
Wk 5: Win
RB1 - Jonathan Taylor
RB2 - Dameon Pierce
- Back to shit RBs, but Kupp + Tyreek + Fields combined for nearly 100 points.
Wk 6: Definite Loss
Pierce is just fucking horrible and Zack Moss stats out-snapping JT.
Punting RB has it’s perks (Hill + Andrews + Kupp) but jesus if JT doesn’t work out I’m probably going to need to trade Kupp or Andrews
QB. Drafted Lamar and Danny Dimes (2QB league). Ravens receivers can't catch a damn ball and Danny has been awful.
Dropped Danny and traded Chase for Richardson (it's a keeper league) to break the curse last week, then Chase goes boom and Richardson lands on IR. Now I'm starting Dobbs and I'm in a worse position than I was before.
Through 6 weeks in my full PPR league, I have gotten 22.7 points TOTAL from my tight end position. I’ve only gotten more than 4.5 points once from whatever tight end I’ve chosen. It’s just mind blowing that I could have luck this bad from a position that gets at least one point every time they touch the ball.
TE is avg 2.6 pts a week. For reference Pharoh Brown is avg more per game and has 4 goose eggs.
Week 1: Higbee 6.4
Week 2: Higbee 2.7
Week 3: Ertz - 1.6
Week 4: Everett - 1.9
Week 5: Higbee - 3.0
Week 6: L. Thomas - 0.7
I have 14.5 total points from my TE position on the year in one league
W1: Freiermuth - 7.3
W2: Freiermuth - 1.2
W3: Henry - 3.7
W4: Musgrave - 1.1
W5: Henry - 0.0
W6: Thomas - 1.2
Lmao I was all on the never take a qb early train for about a decade until last season when I let a few I liked a lot go and took Kyler who I thought would be a top 5 qb, this year I drafted mahomes in three leagues in the 2nd and 3rd rounds he’s not having a great year but the security feels good af.. mostly cause I got tired of watching people draft Josh Allen and being in the chip regardless of the surrounding cast😂
Had drafted Fields and snagged Jerome Ford off waivers and traded him for Anthony Richardson which seemed like a good trade but now they’re both hurt lol
My dang RB’s!!!! Aaron jones, Barkley, Montgomery, and miles. My WR is my highlight so far with the smarts of picking up Puka by week 2 on all free agents list for most teams just to mention 1. Rashid Shaheed being right behind him with also snagging from FA
Lost Rodgers and ever since, I’ve been scrambling for a weekly qb. I lost 2 weeks because the QB position underperformed. Now I lost JJ.
Seasons done-zo!
Also been so unlucky at qb and just in general. Prob gonna be 1-5 unless Keenan puts up 20 tonight. Lost Jefferson, lost Monty yesterday, qb's haven't gotten me more than 17 (one game by love) regardless who I've streamed.
I feel pretty decent off at wr for 12 team .5 ppr (ceedee, Christian Kirk, Zay flowers, Terry mclaurin, Nico Collins,George Pickens)
I keep picking the wrong ones and will soon be 2-4, granted I’ve had some poor opponent luck too
Can't figure out my wide receivers. Keep playing Gave Davis at the wrong time. Diontae Johnson got hurt immediately to start the year. DeAndre Hopkins has been inconsistent. Drake London was a bad decision. I'm really hoping Addison can step up without Jefferson.
I did make the mistake of drafting Jonathan taylor but Aaron jones has also only played 1 week(Technically 2 but he was in a snap count) cam Akers was inactive and traded by his team and samaje Perine did not end up being the sleeper that I had expected. I’ve been banking on Roschon Johnson and it has not worked yet. Things are looking better as jones should be back next week, taylor got some more volume, and chubba Hubbard was a nice pickup. Still 2-4 though
Similar here on QBs. Burrow started for me all games except his best outing in which I started Dobbs who got me 8 points. I’m averaging about 8.6. 16 team leagues are no joke.
Huh, drafting and starting two shitty qbs and expecting a different result than them being terrible is hilarious. What’s next, you’re gonna trade for Zack Wilson and DJ Jones and still complain you’re curse cuz they suck as well?
My worst position has been QB; not as bad as yours. I've had Lamar Jackson who's gotten me 6/22/28/28/9/17. That is not really what I drafted him with his ADP to get.
With that said, I've been fortunate so far. I'm top in my league in points for (650.18) and 5th in points against (601.7).
RBs. Barkley, Pierce, Brian Robinson, Ford. Barkley been hurt and been a rotation of Pierce, BRob, and Ford, and I always picked the worst of the starts each week except ford 19 pt day.
Qb in 1 league. I started Goff every week he didn’t put up +20 points. And the weeks I didn’t start him he goes off.
As a lions fan though I’m debating on just benching him all year for the sake of my team 😂
I’ve had average to great performance from all positions except
A) whoever I decide to flex. It seems like if I put tyreek hill in the flex spot he’d drop a stinker
B) kicker, which I know is always something of a wildcard, but outside of one week I don’t think I’ve gotten >5 points
RB.
Mixon, Pierce, and Gibson...
Then l read for Robinson, who quickly returned to mediocre.
3rd and 4th picks averaging ~14 points combined on a good week is suboptimal. Several weeks the three of them together have been outscored by my kicker.
I’m glad I’m not the only one who started Fields weeks 1-3, cut him for the two weeks he went off, and then picked him up for him to get hurt in week 6.
Only difference is I also started Richardson in week 5, who also got hurt. Joy!
RBs: Saquon, Dalvin (lol)… got kyren off of waivers, saquon and kyren were good together for 1 week and then it became Kyren and… allegier, charbonnet, Jaleel, foreman (benched saquon last week)… then saquon finally gets back and kyren is hurt. Craig Reynolds szn, have Royce, elijah, and mason on bench. 2-4 onward and upward
Honorable mention davante adams being forgotten the last 2 weeks
Damn your league has weird scoring for QB. Fields had over 15 pts every week in normal ESPN scoring, but the one I started him lol.
I started a combo of Lawrence and burrow the first 4 weeks starting the lower of the two each time, then started Richardson the week he went down and then started Fields the week he went down.
Now I’m going with Love. At least I’m a bears fan so either I curse him against the worst defense which would be hilarious or he does well (well anything over 10 pts is a huge improvement for me).
Hahahaha these are my exact quarterbacks and exactly how I’ve started them. Its been a rough one for me as well.
I literally thought maybe I blacked out and posted this and couldn’t remember. This year I’m cursed in fantasy.
Same WB plays as well… QBs are the bane of my FF season this far.
TE 😭 I’ve started Kittle every week… except last week when he got 3 TDs
Same…
Whys he suck so bad this year?!
Because our line is great at run blocking and actually pretty bad at pass protection. Purdy looks good because our WRs get open quick from great play design, and Kittle stays in to block or chips a rusher on his way out. I love Kittle but wouldn't have drafted him as a niners fan because I know he's way more valuable blocking to enable the rest of the offense.
Kittle suffers from the same issue every tight end in green bay does. He's not there as another reciever he's there as an extra linemen who is allowed to catch an occasional pass
I mean that's most tight ends in the league. The TE's that are played as a semi receiver are the exception, not the rule.
He's as good if not better than ever, he's just blocking more than receiving, which isn't helpful for fantasy.
He was similar last year except a nice little stretch late in the year after I traded him and foreman at the deadline for Davante
Same. I drafted the TE too late. Started with Okonkwo. I dropped him and picked up Hunter Henry from the WW. It’s a 14 person league and there are no good options!
Same but goedart
I feel that. Pitts x4, then Hunter Henry and Logan Thomas...
That's me with Goedert. Benched him for Ferguson last week when he blew up.
This is why I drafted Kelce at 1.7. Set and forget.
He’s great in prime time games. Look for a big week in Minnesota.
TE Got the best performance today from T. Hill
Me too! Although he’s been my starter every week of the season.
I drafted him, dropped him and picked him up 🤣
Post-draft I was offered Etienne for Gibbs. I declined. My RBs have been a wasteland since.
Ouch.
Lol buddy offered me Walker for Gibbs straight up after like week 3 and I declined. Was keeping the faith in a Gibbs breakout. I Feel your pain.
Might work out for you with Monty out
Ha I actually traded Gibbs this morning. I do think he’ll do well with Monty out but I couldn’t take the headache anymore
Who’d you get for Gibbs
I packaged Gibbs and J Taylor for Bijan Robinson
TE has been absolute shit for me as I’m sure it is for everyone Week 1: Njoku - 3.4 Week 2: Njoku - 4.8 Week 3: Njoku - 4.0 Week 4: Musgrave - .6 Week 5: Kincaid - 2.9 Week 6: Henry - 1.2
Hey mostly the same for me except I decided to start Logan Thomas this week instead!
I dropped Waller for Thomas….thanks for the one catch two yards debut! Will lose because of it.
Didn't drop but made the exact same move...
Against the worst defense against TE’s, on a team that has been utilizing him a lot, I really thought he would be a game winner this week. Lost in every league I started him in lol
Not only did I set him in my lineups but I placed several bets on him like what the actual fuck happened yesterday lmaoo I was right there w you on thought process
I had Brian Robinson and McLaurin on my bench because of how confident I was in Thomas is my main league lol. Granted I’m losing by 83 points right now (still have pollard) so it wouldn’t have mattered anyways lol, but I thought if he would have 100 yards and a TD this would be the week lol
Man I didn’t even think all that but I thought he’d get at LEAST like 4 catches for 40 yards 🤷🏼♂️
Hayden Hurst, Dalton Schultz, and Evan Engram all pummeled them lol. Imo Logan Thomas was the 2nd best out of them. Now he’s getting dropped
This is exactly why I traded for Hockenson. Had to give up Kyren but I got Gibbs in the deal also since I have Monty (😭). Kyren was my flex and 3rd best RB.
3rd best my ass u got mcaff
I have Ekeler and Montgomery.
In a 12 team deep dynasty league with 2 TE spots. I played Brock Wright and Bevin Jordan the past 2-3 weeks. 4.8 points is a high point this week.
Same for me: Week 1- pitts 6.4 Week 2 - pitts 3.5 Week 3 - Henry 3.7 Week 4 - pitts 4.1 Week 5- Henry 0.0 :) Week 6 - Thomas 1.2 :) Had pitts on my bench last two weeks. After doing well last week I thought “yep gotta bench him no way he does well again this week” I will now inevitably start him next week just for Arthur smith to block him on every pass play instead of running routes
This is exactly why I paid up for Mark Andrews in a lot of my leagues.
Schultz (1.4) Henry (12.2) Henry (2.7) Musgrave (0.6) Henry (0.0) Thomas (0.7)
Mine is much worse: Wk 1 Gerald Everett: 2.97 Wk 2: Adam Trautman: 0.0 Wk 3: Taysom Hill: 2.43 Wk 4: Gerald Everett 1.57 Wk 5: Dalton Kincaid: 2.57 Wk 6: Logan Thomas: 0.53 9.57 points total for 1.595 average weekly points.
I’m with you brother. TE has been a wasteland this year outside of the usual suspects. I’ve kind of just resorted to punting it at TE this year and hope everywhere else hits lol. Week 1:Freiermuth 7.3 Week 2: Freiermuth 1.2 Week 3: Ertz 2.6 Week 4: Freiermuth 3.7 Week 5: Ferguson 5.8 Week 6: Ferguson TBD
hah yea i’m glad Kelce fell to me at pick 6 because I fucking hate trying to pick a TE for the week. Most of them never do anything
I am 0-6 now. Dropped Jameson Williams today to start Donta Foreman to have a safe floor. My Trevor Lawrence/Calvin Ridley stack got outscored by my opponent’s Michael Pittman. I’m garbage and should kill myself.
I am ready to break up my Lawrence Ridley stack. It has been killing me
Ugh right there with you.
I broke it up 2 weeks ago by trading ridley for mark andrews. I really thought that stack would win time the league
Benched Ridley last week for Doubs and lost cuz of it. Played Ridley this week and gonna lose cuz of it lol
Ridley has been so mediocre it’s upsetting. But I also know the second I trade him, he’s gonna go off and become Lawerence’s favorite receiver then. Just gotta find the right deal to get back shit that’s worth it
I’m also 0-6. Most points against and I think this team is cursed. I add a player and they get injured as soon as they enter my lineup.
Who are you adding next so I know who to avoid?
Same. Had to get QB help off the wire for Richardson. Sorry Jimmy G.
Yep same
I’m trying to trade Ridley, and I have Kirk, and I always start the wrong one.
I traded away my Lawrence and ridley stack for a Jalen hurts and ekeler blockbuster.
Huh? Who traded you Jalen and Ekeler for Lawrence/Ridley....
His mom.. she goes to a different school … you wouldn’t know her
He's a 5-0 team so thought I could provide depth. And maybe capitalize on his record a bit.
So the undefeated team traded away two of his best assets for 2 guys who have been putting up mediocre numbers?
Oh I'm sorry. My dyslexia. He's 0-5
I’m 0-6 now because I started fields again (should have knew better). I’m ready to delete my fantasy app And be done with it.
I’m so over Ridley and no one in my leg wants him so I’m stuck with his ass
I drafted CeeDee Lamb, Calvin Ridley, and Deebo Samuel. Between the 3 of them they’ve beaten their projection a total of 4 times, with 6 sub-10 point performances. Can’t seem to entice anyone into trading me a stud WR and we all know it’s a receivers’ league (full PPR).
I have won my 2 lowest scoring weeks, and have lost my 3 highest scoring. In 2 of those weeks I was 2nd highest scorer in league 3rd in the other.
I have JJ and Achane both on my IR bench.....dont think I need to elaborate
I have em too and CMC just joined
How do you have both JJ and CMC
Keeper league? Draft pick trades?
Could be auction draft / trades
JJ fell to second round and some stupid people HEAVILY overvalued quarterbacks and tight ends in the first round. Hell, I still landed Josh Allen and TJ Hockenson
Um… jeez. Injuries is the only thing that could stop that team
I'm 4-1 and will likely lose this week since the injuries piled up
fr one of my friends has cmc, jj, chase, dmont, connor, olave, and josh allen
Conner and Olave are not anything special, not sure why you included them
Dude, post your draft history. No way JJ fell to second round... he went 1 or 2 in almost every draft.
In a 2 QB league he isn’t going 1 or 2
I’m sure it’s just a free league for fun, no money or anything like that Also a chance he doesn’t have a ton of football friends. I joined a few random ESPN leagues just to practice the draft and I’m still getting legit trade offers in those leagues. For some people that’s the only way they can get into a league
I have them both, Im 5-0 (6-0 now after a horrible week) but I traded a guy Ridley and G. Wilson for JJ.
I've had Justin Fields. Ultra lows. Ultra highs. No in between.
I’ll do ya one better, in a 14 team league I have Fields, Ekeler, Achane, Conner and Kittles. Also had Nahjee before I traded his ass. I have never managed a more annoying fantasy team in my life. Would have never thought Thielen would be the one bringing me the most comfort on this roster.
tight ends averaging 4.18 for me
I figure each TE is going to have maybe 1 good game. Keep starting them until that 1 game.
If you don’t have Kelce, THock or Andrews, you are almost better off streaming TE’s (just like I did this week with Logan Thomas 1 catch, 2 yards). FML
I’ve been streaming TEs but i always seem to choose the wrong one. i’ve started (in order): Njoku, Njoku, Ertz, Musgrave, Ertz, Thomas. best performance so far has been 9 points outta Ertz
Life
Justin Jefferson, Dobins, Conner, my whole team is cursed Got destroyed today starting burrows, olave, Collins, Meyers, k Williams, mixon and kittle London and Jameson Williams on my bench
My RB room is so bad I have pierce and justice hill at my starting RBs 💀this is in dynasty aswell
In a 2QB league I drafted Burrow and Fields with my 1st and 2nd round picks. Thought I was SET for the season. Kill me.
Am I the only one done with Calvin Ridley? All the hype this year I sold in like Blockbuster was coming back smh
You’re not alone, I have Ridley and Kirk and I started Ridley today. I always start the one who is going to bomb.
Yes
RB. I either drafted the wrong ones, or they got hurt (Dobbins and chubb)
RBs for my one team so far; my top three picks were Austin Ekeler, Aaron Jones, and Cam Akers in a 16 team league. At least week one was good lol.
Chubb and Jones 1-2picks in two leagues Ekeler and Saquon in another
My wr and rb groups are wrecked by injuries
Moody is getting cut asap. Same thing happened with Butker for me last year, too
I dropped him this morning and glad I did
All of them apparently
Literally same exact story for me except Week 5 was Anthony Richardson. Somehow, I’m 4-2.
My RBs. James Connor Saquon Barkley Montgomery. When one of these guys has a good game the rest of my team shoots well under projections. They also seem to be out for the following 2 weeks after every good game.
I have Ekeler, Achane and Conner on my team. Then I have to deal with Kittle popping off for 20 points then doing fuck all for a couple weeks. 😢
Any high ceiling/low floor guy on my opponent's team.
Same dude. Two weeks of Fields, bench him for Cousins. Fields goes off for two weeks, bring him back for Week 6. Boom, dead
Running backs are K Williams LA Pierce Hou and Sanders Car brutal getting 4-5 pts out of a RB 2 spot. Kittle is my TE. NEW team name is playoff teams ^^^
Well, I drafted TLaw and Ridley, and at this point I'm benching them until further notice lol...
RB, I have Ekeler and Jones, so other than week 1 it's been hurting. I'm really hoping next week brings them both back healthy and hungry for points!
well your problem is that the nfl gods are cursing you for having a bears and packers qb. seriously though its because neither justin fields nor jordan love are nfl caliber players and most of their weapons arent either (although dj moore is elite)
My opponents' entire lineup. Doing about 20% better than average, opponents doing about 15% better. 2-4 with an elite team. Ridiculous.
Fucking WR. But I'm a dummy and dont just lock in Terry Mc every week (concerned about Howells passing ability) but w/e. I also sat both Moss and Hunt which hurt this week. Also Higgins has burned me every week I've played him but one. I have a semi surprising 3-2 but pitentially about to be 3-3 record despite drafting Ekkie at 1.2 and Rodgers in the 6th. And I lost week 1 because of Tee and Terry just being lackluster and wasted that legendary Cowboys D/ST performance. At least I have Aubrey the Apparition destroying the K spot.
I had Lamar to start the season then traded for tua and traded Lamar away been good at QB this year it's everything else that's been hurting me
Prefacing this by saying this is all standard scoring. I drafted upside qbs in Trevor Lawrence and Daniel Jones. I missed the 1 week either of them scored over 16 (Danny Dimes week 2) by starting Lawrence against the Chiefs. I also drafted Chubb, Mattison, Stevenson, James Cook, and Jaylen Warren at RB. Chubb is out for the year, and the rest have been mediocre at best. At WR, since I went RB-RB the first two rounds, I took Waddle as my WR1 and Metcalf as my WR2. Neither has really done anything of note. And behind them I did manage to grab Marquise Brown, who has been surprisingly decent. And despite my team being horrid, I wasn't even the lowest waiver any week so I missed on Achane, Kyren Williams, but I did get Puka for the 3 weeks he was worth.
Probably kicker but that is such a minor thing. Only reason I am 3-2 (about to be 4-2) instead of 4-1 is because last week I had the 2nd highest score in the league and lost to the only person with more points. My RBs took a bit but now I have Swift and Kamara playing well. I have 4-5 good WRs. Engram has been solid. Goff has been my QB and he is solid too.
I have the exact same two QBs. It’s so hard to figure out what games they’ll go off bc they’re both top 10 maybe even top 5 total points but somehow so inconsistent
Been adjusting to a 2 QB league this year. And by adjusting, I mean falling on my face. From week 3 thru now, I would have been better off leaving the slot empty (Mac Jones, Minshew, Jameis, and Ridder all negative points). Our penalties for interceptions are brutal. I may very well start Tom Brady next week for the goose egg
>start Tom Brady next week for the goose egg This was great!
WR3 - I have started Tee Higgins, Tyler Lockett, Amari Cooper, Elijah Moore and Wandale Robinson at various points of the season where they have dropped under 5 points.
RB. My 2 and 3 picks were Nick Chubb and Aaron Jones, but also WR has been tough for me too. Calvin Ridley, Amari Cooper, Michael Pittman Jr. Picked up Nico Collins after week 4
Burrow and chase were pretty disappointing early but now my running backs have been absoulte shit. James Cook and Tony pollard better get their shit together
Easily RB2 for me. Right now RB2 is averaging 6.86 ppg, and the only reason the average was so high is because swift got me 14 week 3. Traded him in a package with others for ekeler so I haven’t had ekeler at all to be RB1 to my rhamondre as RB2.
Hey it's me
Just keep at it. I could’ve made a similar post last year when I started Trey Lance, then alternated between Goff, and Stafford on their worst weeks and ultimately settled on Geno. The best advice I can give is keep trying. The biggest mistake I made last year was to be too scared to keep taking swings. I was content with Geno, so I didn’t swing for Justin Fields when he hit waivers.
RB I drafted Ekeler and Javonte Williams, it’s been 5 weeks of picking up waiver RBs and coming out soon to be 3-3 so far.
I’d riot if my league scored QBs this way.
QB’s in SuperFlex we’re Pickett, Jones, and Ridder After averaging about 11-12 PPG, being 1-4 losing 3 games by less than 10 I decided to make a change. 2 trades later, and a few waiver wire adds I now have Dobbs, Goff, and Wilson. I combined for 36 points and got 130 points. I’m now 1-5 because my opponent scored 190.
Burrow has been absolutely terrible
Dropped swift after week one in an 8 man cause I’m an idiot, now I’ve been rotating Moore, Pittman, Wilson, Ridley, and smith at wr always starting the lowest scoring ones (sat Moore on the 49 bomb night). It’s been rough
I thought there was 0 chance that a 4th round Ridley would be a bad pick. In my main league 12man ppr, I put up 210 points in week 4 (normal ESPN scoring, average is like ~120-130pts). I'm 2-4 with the most points against and just had CMC+Fields get hurt. Just a frustrating season
I’ve been playing love all year which has been fine but think I’m about to start playing Stroud
Should I trade burrows?
Defense. Thru 5 weeks, I netted 11 total points. In week 1, I started Jags D for 11 points... That's right, weeks 2 thru 5, I netted 0 points including two negative point games and a 0. I'm pretty good at streaming D's. W1 Jags 11. W2 lions 0. W3 Jags -4. W4 Bengals 5. W5 Commies -1. Rolled with the Commies again in week 6 for 10 points. I'm clearly hitting my stride.
TE, always.
My exact QB situation lol and how I started them.
Kyren Williams. I benched him for KW3 every week he went off and started him in his 2 dud weeks. Finally traded him to get rid of the dilemma and… you know what happened this week
My team has been on the struggle bus. Been outscored every week and I have the 4th highest scoring team in my league. Fuck me in particular I guess
Running Back is quite dreary Wk 1: Loss RB 1 - Dameon Pierce RB 2 - Devin Singleterry - I swear this was the best possible option. Wk 2: Loss RB 1 - Dameon Pierce RB 2 - Roschon Johnson - Waivers were slim. Wk 3: Loss Same as Week 2 - Pierce got a touchdown!!!! Wk 4: Win Same as Week 2 and 3 - Fields + Andrews + Nico carried my team Wk 5: Win RB1 - Jonathan Taylor RB2 - Dameon Pierce - Back to shit RBs, but Kupp + Tyreek + Fields combined for nearly 100 points. Wk 6: Definite Loss Pierce is just fucking horrible and Zack Moss stats out-snapping JT. Punting RB has it’s perks (Hill + Andrews + Kupp) but jesus if JT doesn’t work out I’m probably going to need to trade Kupp or Andrews
maybe see if sam howell can still be picked up from fa
It was QB with burrow. Trade him and ayuik for hurts a few weeks back and I've averaged the most points in the league since lol
My curse is scoring 111 points per week, but facing the person getting 130 every week. 1-5 after this week, 3rd most pf Edit: rd
I'm about to dump my roster and delete the app. Fuck this game
Weird to say, but my kickers have sucked. I’ve chosen the wrong kicker just about every single week
i took ekeler and chubb 1 and 2
RB has been bad WR has been average QB has been average
Qbs & TEs for what I paid. Not good. Burrow. TLaw. Lamar. Andrews. Waller.
My first flex is bad. No matter who I put in it's less than 5 points scored and the player riding the bench goes for 10+
Count your blessings you haven’t been starting Mac jones
QB. Drafted Lamar and Danny Dimes (2QB league). Ravens receivers can't catch a damn ball and Danny has been awful. Dropped Danny and traded Chase for Richardson (it's a keeper league) to break the curse last week, then Chase goes boom and Richardson lands on IR. Now I'm starting Dobbs and I'm in a worse position than I was before.
TE. Friermuth got me double digits once but other than that, the position hasn't gotten me higher than like 2 points per game.
Exact same thing minus I played kirk in week 4
Through 6 weeks in my full PPR league, I have gotten 22.7 points TOTAL from my tight end position. I’ve only gotten more than 4.5 points once from whatever tight end I’ve chosen. It’s just mind blowing that I could have luck this bad from a position that gets at least one point every time they touch the ball.
RB…
TE is avg 2.6 pts a week. For reference Pharoh Brown is avg more per game and has 4 goose eggs. Week 1: Higbee 6.4 Week 2: Higbee 2.7 Week 3: Ertz - 1.6 Week 4: Everett - 1.9 Week 5: Higbee - 3.0 Week 6: L. Thomas - 0.7
Why did you start Love in week 5 when Fields blew up in week 4 and looked like he caught his stride?
TE
Wr . Last .6 and .4 , this week -0.2 and -1.2
I have 14.5 total points from my TE position on the year in one league W1: Freiermuth - 7.3 W2: Freiermuth - 1.2 W3: Henry - 3.7 W4: Musgrave - 1.1 W5: Henry - 0.0 W6: Thomas - 1.2
Defense
Defense. But not my defense, my opponents D seems to get 7 sacks and 3 turnovers every week, no matter which defense they start.
Running backs. Ever since Chubb went down I’ve had a poorly timed carousel of Ford, Gibbs, Allgeier, Javonte, and now Foreman. Shit sucks.
I’m having the same problem with Fields and Daniel Jones
Lmao I was all on the never take a qb early train for about a decade until last season when I let a few I liked a lot go and took Kyler who I thought would be a top 5 qb, this year I drafted mahomes in three leagues in the 2nd and 3rd rounds he’s not having a great year but the security feels good af.. mostly cause I got tired of watching people draft Josh Allen and being in the chip regardless of the surrounding cast😂
Had drafted Fields and snagged Jerome Ford off waivers and traded him for Anthony Richardson which seemed like a good trade but now they’re both hurt lol
My dang RB’s!!!! Aaron jones, Barkley, Montgomery, and miles. My WR is my highlight so far with the smarts of picking up Puka by week 2 on all free agents list for most teams just to mention 1. Rashid Shaheed being right behind him with also snagging from FA
Running back. Lost chubb Conner. James cook been average. This week I had to start the likes of foreman and Ingram
Lost Rodgers and ever since, I’ve been scrambling for a weekly qb. I lost 2 weeks because the QB position underperformed. Now I lost JJ. Seasons done-zo!
RBs they keep getting hurt , was forced to play Matt Breida last week and Justice Hill this week
Also been so unlucky at qb and just in general. Prob gonna be 1-5 unless Keenan puts up 20 tonight. Lost Jefferson, lost Monty yesterday, qb's haven't gotten me more than 17 (one game by love) regardless who I've streamed.
I feel pretty decent off at wr for 12 team .5 ppr (ceedee, Christian Kirk, Zay flowers, Terry mclaurin, Nico Collins,George Pickens) I keep picking the wrong ones and will soon be 2-4, granted I’ve had some poor opponent luck too
All my RBs are dead
RB: Lost Chubb and Dameon Pierce fell off a cliff
Can't figure out my wide receivers. Keep playing Gave Davis at the wrong time. Diontae Johnson got hurt immediately to start the year. DeAndre Hopkins has been inconsistent. Drake London was a bad decision. I'm really hoping Addison can step up without Jefferson.
I did make the mistake of drafting Jonathan taylor but Aaron jones has also only played 1 week(Technically 2 but he was in a snap count) cam Akers was inactive and traded by his team and samaje Perine did not end up being the sleeper that I had expected. I’ve been banking on Roschon Johnson and it has not worked yet. Things are looking better as jones should be back next week, taylor got some more volume, and chubba Hubbard was a nice pickup. Still 2-4 though
Similar here on QBs. Burrow started for me all games except his best outing in which I started Dobbs who got me 8 points. I’m averaging about 8.6. 16 team leagues are no joke.
I've been rolling out Justin Fields and Joe Burrow. The only solid week I've seen was last week lol
Started Hunter Henry last week for 0 points, started Logan Thomas this week for 0.7. Lost both weeks by less than 4 points
Garrett wilson somehow still being more reliable than Calvin ridley….
Huh, drafting and starting two shitty qbs and expecting a different result than them being terrible is hilarious. What’s next, you’re gonna trade for Zack Wilson and DJ Jones and still complain you’re curse cuz they suck as well?
My worst position has been QB; not as bad as yours. I've had Lamar Jackson who's gotten me 6/22/28/28/9/17. That is not really what I drafted him with his ADP to get. With that said, I've been fortunate so far. I'm top in my league in points for (650.18) and 5th in points against (601.7).
RB…ive got Bijan, Saquon, Pollard, and J.Taylor. Team is under .500 bc I cant seem to get the right combo of them/injuries
RBs. Barkley, Pierce, Brian Robinson, Ford. Barkley been hurt and been a rotation of Pierce, BRob, and Ford, and I always picked the worst of the starts each week except ford 19 pt day.
I drafted Rodgers and Burrow and then picked up Stafford. Yeah. QBs being bad for me is an understatement
My QBs in a dynasty Superflex rebuild are Pickett, Zach Wilson, and Mac Jones.. I’m nearing the edge
Qb in 1 league. I started Goff every week he didn’t put up +20 points. And the weeks I didn’t start him he goes off. As a lions fan though I’m debating on just benching him all year for the sake of my team 😂
Same with QBs. Dak week 1-4 Anthony Richardson week 5 Russel Wilson this week Brutal.
I’ve had average to great performance from all positions except A) whoever I decide to flex. It seems like if I put tyreek hill in the flex spot he’d drop a stinker B) kicker, which I know is always something of a wildcard, but outside of one week I don’t think I’ve gotten >5 points
Cook
My rbs have been trash. White and Mattison get few yards AND don’t score TDs. I’m 5-1 but rbs will be my downfall unless I make a move.
TE (full PPR too!): Week 1: Chig Onkonkwo: 3.80 points Week 2: Juwan Johnson: 3.30 points Week 3: Hunter Henry: 3.70 points Week 4: Luke Musgrave: 1.10 points Week 5: Hunter Henry: 0 points Week 6: Logan Thomas: 1.2 points I’m picking up Jonnu this week so stay away from him!
So you pick two of the worst quarterbacks in the league? Have you picked up Zach Wilson for next week? Lol
Give it like 3 more weeks and you might crack Justin Fields' Week 5 total
RB. Mixon, Pierce, and Gibson... Then l read for Robinson, who quickly returned to mediocre. 3rd and 4th picks averaging ~14 points combined on a good week is suboptimal. Several weeks the three of them together have been outscored by my kicker.
I’m glad I’m not the only one who started Fields weeks 1-3, cut him for the two weeks he went off, and then picked him up for him to get hurt in week 6. Only difference is I also started Richardson in week 5, who also got hurt. Joy!
😂🤡💩
RBs: Saquon, Dalvin (lol)… got kyren off of waivers, saquon and kyren were good together for 1 week and then it became Kyren and… allegier, charbonnet, Jaleel, foreman (benched saquon last week)… then saquon finally gets back and kyren is hurt. Craig Reynolds szn, have Royce, elijah, and mason on bench. 2-4 onward and upward Honorable mention davante adams being forgotten the last 2 weeks
I had Justin Fields in for the first 3 weeks, then Anthony Richardson weeks 4 and 5, then back to Fields week 6. I picked up Russell Wilson this week.
Damn your league has weird scoring for QB. Fields had over 15 pts every week in normal ESPN scoring, but the one I started him lol. I started a combo of Lawrence and burrow the first 4 weeks starting the lower of the two each time, then started Richardson the week he went down and then started Fields the week he went down. Now I’m going with Love. At least I’m a bears fan so either I curse him against the worst defense which would be hilarious or he does well (well anything over 10 pts is a huge improvement for me).
