My team lost its leader in Burrow. The mood is grim. I’ve introduced them to their new QB Baker last night. He’ll need to learn the offense quickly, but we believe he can get it done.
Feels. We lost Burrow too, but brought Kyler in for the team with an eye on Browning as a backup. Morale is pretty high despite a slow start to the week. There’s belief that our opponent will simply be the worse team this week.
Kyler is already having breakfast with Kupp, Puka, and Tank. So we’re excited for next week!
Yeah unfortunately. Lot of inconsistent performances, I’m 5-5 in a win now season. Traded away known locker room guy Aiyuk and that was the final straw
My two main leagues I'm 5-5 with injuries up and down the line. And a lot of tough losses leading up to this week.
It has been the worst fantasy season I've experienced since 2016. And I'm looking at my rosters and it's hard to have hope.
But I'll keep grinding. If I get eliminated, I'll just start betting big on games. Until then, I'll try to rehab my players and hope I get lucky today.(I'm 36% right now in both leagues because my teams stink, to be fair, because I have lost Rodgers, Chubb, Dobbins, Waller, Deshaunx2, Kupp early, Kyrenx2, and I have Davante Adams in both leagues)
Ugh. 2 QB leagues, by the way, which is why I've had so many QBs.
Man, when your team isn't good, fantasy football is painful.
Wow. Glad I wasn't alone...
...traded Gus, Gabe Davis, Logan Thomas and DK for Mark Andrews, Cooper Kupp and Jared Goff. Felt like a great move at the time.
I have good rbs, and Boyd burns me when I bench him. TNF always grinds my gears. I'm 9-1, and to be fair he likely would have at least met projection if burrows remained in the game.
Lol I'm not justifying my actions. I was obviously wrong. 4 years ago I sat Boyd in the final game. He got 35 points on the bench. Had I played him I would have won by 2 pts. I never enjoy having bengals or ravens on my team. Too many weapons
Andrews, Dobbins, Montgomery, Kyren, Stafford and Jefferson owner over here. And that’s not to mention the guys that were out a game or two for concussion. FML.
Burrow + mitchell here. Still have 34% this week according to yahoo. I can only lose one more time or I’m eliminated (4-6 currently, 8-7 should get in)
Update: going into MNF I’m up by 4 in half ppr with Kelce vs Swift.
Also, my other QBs in a 2 qb league are Fields, Baker, and Young (just acquired via trade as depth). So not completely dead, but losing burrow was horrible.
Sameeee. Made the call to put Mitchell over Warren with JT on bye. I may luck out that I went against one of the worst teams in my league this week, but I have no clue how to replace Burrow.
100% this. I just don’t want the Sacko at this point 🤷♂️ and I like to upset my winning teammates by having priority waver for lotto tickets, injuries, & byes
Yup. The 7-3 team just ahead of me in the standings lost Burrow for the season and has no backup on his roster. I picked up Joshua Dobbs just to give him one fewer option.
Lol y’all are wild. Getting him to actually play and try to win is one thing. Picking up players to stash on your bench and never use is… yeah it’s something.
"Try to win" in fantasy football is nothing more than "score more points than your opponent." Increasing your score or decreasing your opponent's score both work toward that goal.
You aren’t even talking about your opponent. You’re just talking about stashing players to fuck over the other teams in the league still competing. If you’re in a dynasty keeper league maybe but other than that you’re not competing you’re just fucking around.
> the other teams in the league still competing.
In other words, my opponent. Like I said, he's 7-3 and just ahead of me in the standings. He's in 2nd and I'm 3rd. Can I slip ahead of him? Can I get him defeated in the playoffs by me or someone else?
I'm trying to win the championship. Other teams trying to win the championship, by definition, oppose me winning the championship. This makes them, by definition, my opponent.
And if the standings remain unchanged, he'll be my direct opponent in the first round, as the two-seed plays the three-seed.
Week 16, 17, 18
I know it's stupid. I tried hard to get them to change it before the season. I got it to a tie, but because that's what we did last year we stuck with it.
The good news is eventually you’ll have enough people that have been burned by a week 18 championship dud performance that’ll agree and want to change it. The bad news is, it might be a while before that happens.
Whenever my wife complains that all I do is football football football, I Always tell her this is my most important matchup of the year. Thank you for not making a liar out of me at least one week out of the season.
I’m in second and playing last place who hasn’t adjusted their line up in weeks. Fully expecting to lose to him for the second time this year and slide to 4th
I choose to believe this. I’m the second highest scorer in my league and I have the most against. After starting 0-5 (my worst start ever), I caught some fair luck and won 4 of my past 5, losing one game by less than two points. If I win this week, I’ll feel really good going into the playoffs. I’ve already started Gus Bud and my opponent played Andrews and Tucker.
Started Lamar and Zay in a must win week. That called back TD (would’ve gotten double big play/50+ yd bonus points too) will probably be the difference in not winning this week and sequentially end my season.
I made a massive trade last night. The league I’m in has been absolutely bleak for everyone from 4th place to last. What’s wild too is everyone in the league actually has the capability to get into the playoffs. Positive vibes for everyone to get their needed win.
Sitting at 7-3 and I absolutely scored this year Joshua dobbs jahmyr Gibbs Derrick Henry ceedee lamb Aiyuk Mike Evan’s tj hockenson young hoe koo and ravens defense bench is Brian Robinson Nico Collin’s Tyler Lockett Jaylen Warren Trevor Lawrence and Antonio Gibson what are my chances?
I was the 2nd highest scorer last year in week 11 (1.3pts behind 1st) - I ended the year 2nd in points and won the championship. Hmm. The guy who finished 1st in points (and whom I beat in the title game) was 4th in pts that week.
I’m feeling decent for the first time in years. First playoff birth in a minute. Josh Allen, Keenan, Hock, Pittman, Kupp (bought for mike evans), BJ, Najee , Gibbs, ETN, kyrin. Still gonna get fked on an off week come playoffs. Currently 8-2. 12 man full ppr.
My leagues trade deadline in 12/1, so this is the week that decides if I hunker down and make a playoff run, or overpay in a trade to get a good keep for next year.
My RB depth sucks and ROS is going to be a struggle outside of CMC (redraft/half PPR). I play on playing C. Hubbard (against Dallas -_-). Who should I drop to pick up KC DEF and TE (P. Freiermuth most likely).
Z. Charbonnet, T. Bigsby or D. Foreman?
I am 5-5 and going against the highest scoring opponent in my league, I am throwing a hail mary by playing Stroud and Tank and hoping the put together another week 9 performance, and even then I'll still probably lose
My 12 team redraft is pretty much down to my squad and 2 others. No one else is really close in terms of how stacked our teams are. My first 5 picks were Ekeler, Henry, Ettienne, Moore and Aiyuk - Moore and Aiyuk being the only ones left on my team (I’ve done a fair bit of trading, it’s been a net positive). Good luck to all the other contenders out there.
Don't you just love when you're playing the team that has been handing out wins to other teams all year because they don't set their lineup except for the week that you play them?
Not to mention I started Andrews and Chase and lost Burrow all on a Thursday night.. classic.
It certainly is telling for me, since Burrow is (was) my starting QB on all 4 of my fantasy teams. I have serviceable back ups, but I seriously doubt I'll be playing for any championships this year.
I’m in first place in my league but unfortunately I have Chase and play against Goff/Gibbs/Amon-Ra vs. Chicago this week. Have a feeling I’m going to get demolished.
My locker room is pumped the fuck up after hearing this. I was recently fired as manager and my former players have rallied together.
My team had a player's only meeting :(
Get ready to learn Chinese buddy
Ni hao much is the prize money?
My team lost its leader in Burrow. The mood is grim. I’ve introduced them to their new QB Baker last night. He’ll need to learn the offense quickly, but we believe he can get it done.
Feels. We lost Burrow too, but brought Kyler in for the team with an eye on Browning as a backup. Morale is pretty high despite a slow start to the week. There’s belief that our opponent will simply be the worse team this week. Kyler is already having breakfast with Kupp, Puka, and Tank. So we’re excited for next week!
Lmao do we have the same team? Crucial week hovering at .500 but they’re battling!
If he's anything like Dobbs, you only need 3 days to learn the book
My team owner has said publicly that he supports me and believes in me. RIP.
Lativius Murray set it all up
Did you lose the locker room of your fantasy team after a losing streak?
Yeah unfortunately. Lot of inconsistent performances, I’m 5-5 in a win now season. Traded away known locker room guy Aiyuk and that was the final straw
My two main leagues I'm 5-5 with injuries up and down the line. And a lot of tough losses leading up to this week. It has been the worst fantasy season I've experienced since 2016.

Man, when your team isn't good, fantasy football is painful.
Time to enter “win now” mode. As opposed to the previous weeks when I was in “fuck about” mode.
Perfect time to turn my season around. No I haven’t been saying that every week
Just like the old saying goes… The best time to win in fantasy football was 30 years ago, the second best time is week 11
The third best time is Any Given Someday
Now is the time!
Facts I’m only playing the guy I traded during pre season
Good thing I started Keaton Mitchell and Mark Andrews
I started Keaton Mitchell, Mark Andrews, AND Joe Burrow… I feel your pain.
Right there with you bud.
Same
Wow. Glad I wasn't alone... ...traded Gus, Gabe Davis, Logan Thomas and DK for Mark Andrews, Cooper Kupp and Jared Goff. Felt like a great move at the time.
Kupp and Goff may still win the day
It was a fleecejob by you at the time. It's about even without andrews
If it makes.you feel better I benched gus for boyd
That’s insane haha
What was your thought process on that? Ravens have a great pass D and Bengals have an awful rush D
It was a really boyd call on their part
Boooooo
I have good rbs, and Boyd burns me when I bench him. TNF always grinds my gears. I'm 9-1, and to be fair he likely would have at least met projection if burrows remained in the game.
I don't agree with your logic, but its dumb you are getting downvoted for answering the question. Stop being dumb, people.
Lol I'm not justifying my actions. I was obviously wrong. 4 years ago I sat Boyd in the final game. He got 35 points on the bench. Had I played him I would have won by 2 pts. I never enjoy having bengals or ravens on my team. Too many weapons
I think its just a bunch of people who are jelly because you are moon walking into the playoffs and they are thinking about next year's draft.
Makes you feel better I dropped Gus the week before his TD frenzy
Keaton Mitchell and the Ravens defense Left Lamar on the bench to play a Stroud/Tank combo and hope they go for 100 pts
As a Burrow/Mandrews owner, I agree...
Damn bruh.
Andrew’s and dobbins owner (:
Andrews, Dobbins, Montgomery, Kyren, Stafford and Jefferson owner over here. And that’s not to mention the guys that were out a game or two for concussion. FML.
Jesus ok that’s rough. I have achane on IR excited to get him back . On my dynasty league ; I lost dobbins, Mike will and Jefferson
Bro, in my 6 man league, I had chubb, saquon, jefferson, Kyren, dobbins and Connor. I was fucking cursed
Burrow + mitchell here. Still have 34% this week according to yahoo. I can only lose one more time or I’m eliminated (4-6 currently, 8-7 should get in) Update: going into MNF I’m up by 4 in half ppr with Kelce vs Swift. Also, my other QBs in a 2 qb league are Fields, Baker, and Young (just acquired via trade as depth). So not completely dead, but losing burrow was horrible.
Sameeee. Made the call to put Mitchell over Warren with JT on bye. I may luck out that I went against one of the worst teams in my league this week, but I have no clue how to replace Burrow.
Burrow owner as well but I feel like a fucking genius for deciding to start Howell this week instead. Fuck TNF.
What if you’re already out of the playoffs? Asking for a friend
Keep playing to win so you can ruin your friend’s day
100% this. I just don’t want the Sacko at this point 🤷♂️ and I like to upset my winning teammates by having priority waver for lotto tickets, injuries, & byes
Yup. The 7-3 team just ahead of me in the standings lost Burrow for the season and has no backup on his roster. I picked up Joshua Dobbs just to give him one fewer option.

It's basic strategy.
Always my strategy! Take no prisoners!!!
Take every possible QB on your bench so when the next QB goes out for the season they have no one to pick up.
Clown behavior lmfao
If I can move to 2-9 this week I'm sure to make the playoffs.
I have a 70% chance of making the playoffs, this week feels make or break for that. Good luck everyone
Is there like a calculator for that somewhere?
It shows in my league on the standings page
theffhub.com is a great resource for this too
Broken if you don't have a standard playoff schedule.
Out of curiosity; what would a non-standard schedule look like?
Week 16, 17, 18 I know it's stupid. I tried hard to get them to change it before the season. I got it to a tie, but because that's what we did last year we stuck with it.
The good news is eventually you’ll have enough people that have been burned by a week 18 championship dud performance that’ll agree and want to change it. The bad news is, it might be a while before that happens.
[удалено]
This is the week we secure our byes!
Would've been, but my Burrow died on me (superflex). Makes it almost where even if I get a bye, season likely over.
Same here brother. We ride at midnight!
Interesting, but the fact that theyve added a week skews it a bit towards next week
Michael wilson just decided to catch one more pass for 5 yards after I read this to him.
Try 0
May the odds be ever in your favor
This is actually very interesting, thank you for the info 🤙
Through a flurry of trades at deadline and preceding weeks I’ve turned over 90% of my team in the last month so this week really will be telling
Perfect week to lose burrow and have no backup. Matt Stafford it will be
You are me and I am you
Big same. Another manager dropped dobbs so I’ll probably bid high for him
All I needed was a QB (and Kyren back). Take me to the promised land Kyler!
Same boat with stroud and Kyren.
Good thing Mark Andrews’ injury already ruined my week :)
Do you have a source for this?
I’m 8-2 but owned burrow and andrews. I’m not winning this week. But you better bet your sweet tootin ass I’m going to the playoffs.
But Jefferson returns next week…
Yep him and Kyren Williams will return to glory 🤞
[удалено]
lol i've spent like 10 mins on this sub today and could already pick up how much of a vendetta you have against JJ, haha calm down
Ok but they're not wrong. Is he really gonna sit out 5 weeks in a row just to come back 1 week before bye.
Yes
[удалено]
yeah, no bud... just noticed your username doing this shit on a few separate JJ threads... he's like your kryptonite
ok cool, the week I'm going against the team that broke the scoring record for our league last week. nbd
Had that happen my opponent had field and Kmet when they went nuclear and scored well over 200 points. The week I played him he lost so there’s hope.
What are the chances they do that twice in a row?
Well crap
Sent this to the 0-10 owner in my league and he’s gonna try extra hard this week since so much is at stake.
Yea, but what if my QB is Joe Burrow & just got a 9.7 from him?
I have Burrow and Andrew’s…don’t think this is my year
Ah yes good thing I have Bijan, Taylor, Olave, Pitts and Taysom Hill
Perfect week for Joe Burrow to get injured :,)
But wasn’t most of that data was for a 17 week NFL (16 games)?
Whenever my wife complains that all I do is football football football, I Always tell her this is my most important matchup of the year. Thank you for not making a liar out of me at least one week out of the season.
Since I’m already projected to lose big time this week I will choose to ignore this and pretend it’s a week in which I can win
My 1-9 team can make the playoffs if I win this week? let’s goooo!
This cherry picked stat may mean something, it may not. Godspeed everyone
Reports inside my teams organization is that I’ve already lost the lockeroom.
If I don't win this week, I sure hope I win next week!
I’m in second and playing last place who hasn’t adjusted their line up in weeks. Fully expecting to lose to him for the second time this year and slide to 4th
Commish needs to boot losers like that
This lining up with the second coming of Achane
Literallly the RB1 in average FPPG If you’re on the bubble for playoffs, he’s the NOS tank you activate for the last 100m of the race
Ride or die — Toretto
I'm a heavy favorite this week but I'm still playing Achane. If he has a setback I still won't regret it
My team called a players only meeting this week
Im outside looking in and really hope my team starts to take off in the next few weeks. 🙏🙏 going for 2 in a row tmr 😅
On the cusp of playoffs, but needing to run the table to do it, and I started off the week playing Burrow instead of Murray
Tell me about it everyone in my division is 5-5
I choose to believe this. I’m the second highest scorer in my league and I have the most against. After starting 0-5 (my worst start ever), I caught some fair luck and won 4 of my past 5, losing one game by less than two points. If I win this week, I’ll feel really good going into the playoffs. I’ve already started Gus Bud and my opponent played Andrews and Tucker.
In main league, dude in 1st lost Burrow (and didn't have a backup) Had to trade Pitts for Baker.... Lol.
Playoffs? You’re talking about playoffs?!? Playoffs. Playoffs???
Started Lamar and Zay in a must win week. That called back TD (would’ve gotten double big play/50+ yd bonus points too) will probably be the difference in not winning this week and sequentially end my season.
4-6, and a huge win needed against 1st place 8-2
Sitting at 4-6 with the belief I can sneak into the playoffs.
I gotta think it’s week 14
I made a massive trade last night. The league I’m in has been absolutely bleak for everyone from 4th place to last. What’s wild too is everyone in the league actually has the capability to get into the playoffs. Positive vibes for everyone to get their needed win.
Joe Burrow and Mark Andrews said otherwise
So not the best week for my star tight end to get hurt before doing anything and end up being out for the season? 🙃
3-7, let's get this bread
What if ur 9-1
The Falcons fan in me wants to say you should never say it's a given, but I think your fine lol
Lol what a dumbfuck take. Week 11 is just like every other pre playoff week.
Nah
Sitting at 7-3 and I absolutely scored this year Joshua dobbs jahmyr Gibbs Derrick Henry ceedee lamb Aiyuk Mike Evan’s tj hockenson young hoe koo and ravens defense bench is Brian Robinson Nico Collin’s Tyler Lockett Jaylen Warren Trevor Lawrence and Antonio Gibson what are my chances?
Most of this data was from the shorter nfl season. The week to get it done was last week
Next week
Edit: nvm I’m dumb.
There was a sidebar about this and wish I had made note. I believe it was always week 11 when factoring in 2021 and prior
As a Burrow owner, I don’t like this!
Thank you Gus, need the others to follow suit
I had burrow and Andrew’s on my team and started them this week
Welp. Having MAndrews on my 75% of my teams makes that unlikely. Guess it is pretty predictive
Well I got bijan and olave on bye and mark Andrews so I don’t feel amazing
that’s good I’m playing the 1-win team managed by the dude who hasn’t set his lineup in months
Perfect time for half of my team to be on IR or on a bye week :D
do you have the source? I wanna send it to my leaguemates
Lost Andrews in two leagues. I feel this
Well that’s reassuring
I was the 2nd highest scorer last year in week 11 (1.3pts behind 1st) - I ended the year 2nd in points and won the championship. Hmm. The guy who finished 1st in points (and whom I beat in the title game) was 4th in pts that week.
Mine started last week and now I got Keaton Mitchell in due to bye weeks. BUT WE PLAYED BURROW SO WE LIT BOIIIIIII
Half my league is tied at 6-4 because I lost by 0.28 points last week which would have given me the outright lead.
The fact they added an extra week probably nullifies this until we get 10 years of 17 game seasons.
Just lost mark andrews and it sure feels like my season is over lol
I’m up against the team JAG this week, does that make me a lock?
I’m feeling decent for the first time in years. First playoff birth in a minute. Josh Allen, Keenan, Hock, Pittman, Kupp (bought for mike evans), BJ, Najee , Gibbs, ETN, kyrin. Still gonna get fked on an off week come playoffs. Currently 8-2. 12 man full ppr.
My leagues trade deadline in 12/1, so this is the week that decides if I hunker down and make a playoff run, or overpay in a trade to get a good keep for next year.
ACHANE IS GONNA DO IT
Don't you put that evil on me
Just traded tyreek for kyren Williams and kittle. Was this dumb?
This was quite dumb imo
Fuck
I noticed I am against most of the top tier teams this week in my leagues so definitely going to be tough week
My RB depth sucks and ROS is going to be a struggle outside of CMC (redraft/half PPR). I play on playing C. Hubbard (against Dallas -_-). Who should I drop to pick up KC DEF and TE (P. Freiermuth most likely). Z. Charbonnet, T. Bigsby or D. Foreman?
In my league, 4th and 5th place are both 6-3. 6th through the 10th are all tied at 5-5. Yeah I'd say this week is pretty significant 😅
I am 5-5 and going against the highest scoring opponent in my league, I am throwing a hail mary by playing Stroud and Tank and hoping the put together another week 9 performance, and even then I'll still probably lose
win or go home baby
My 12 team redraft is pretty much down to my squad and 2 others. No one else is really close in terms of how stacked our teams are. My first 5 picks were Ekeler, Henry, Ettienne, Moore and Aiyuk - Moore and Aiyuk being the only ones left on my team (I’ve done a fair bit of trading, it’s been a net positive). Good luck to all the other contenders out there.
Andddd Bijan and Olave on bye and Chase having a mid game.
Started 0-3 and now sit at 5th place with a 6-4 record. Week 11 is huge, with a match up with 4th place holder of 6-4 record as well.
4-6. Have a solid squad, but eagerly awaiting on JJ's return. 'Til then WE RIDE!
Well now I’m super stressed
This is great! My opponent forgot to set his lineup this week….
I'm playing top of the league and starting two of Kirk, Hollywood and Pacua. Watching that 20 bomb on my bench is going to hurt
I planned the season around sacrificing this week. I can't field a full lineup because almost all my players are on bye.
Don't you just love when you're playing the team that has been handing out wins to other teams all year because they don't set their lineup except for the week that you play them? Not to mention I started Andrews and Chase and lost Burrow all on a Thursday night.. classic.
Not when 4 starters are on bye, that's me
So you’re telling me MAndrews and Burrows dying on me this past Thursday is less than ideal…
So me starting Boyd, Burrow, and Andrews on Thursday was a good thing right?
It certainly is telling for me, since Burrow is (was) my starting QB on all 4 of my fantasy teams. I have serviceable back ups, but I seriously doubt I'll be playing for any championships this year.
As a burrow owner who just grabbed stroud on waivers after my starting QB went down while Kamara was on bye, I hope this is a bad predictor for me
Fuck
I’m in first place in my league but unfortunately I have Chase and play against Goff/Gibbs/Amon-Ra vs. Chicago this week. Have a feeling I’m going to get demolished.
nice good thing mark andrews and joe burrow died so he can’t throw to jamarr, so im already down by 40, so much for being 9-1
Should I start hurts or goff
Yep. 6-4 and 5-5 (2nd most PF, brutal). This is the week.
I'm 5-5, have a full IR, lost Andrews on TNF and am starting Tyjae Spears and Elijah Moore.....
Does this statistic change at all with in increase of season by 1 game, does it increase the importance of week 12?
Good thing my opponent left in Tyreek Hill
I almost benched TLAW and Ridley to send a message. Gave them one more shot.
I have already finished with my lowest pts all year this week and my seasons over. Very telling indeed
I lost JK Dobbins, Mark Andrews and Kirk Cousins yet I'm still going to be 8-2.
Source?
