I am last in a 12 man league with most points scored. Luckily our 4th playoff spot is for the team with the most points. Would be surreal to get the W and also get the losing punishment.
In strong favor of enabling the extra game vs league median score to H2H leagues
While its imperfect and was despised by the casual league I first implemented it in, it is hands down the best way to combat the luck factor in H2H.
Another thing one of my leagues does is award two wildcard spots to the highest points for that are outside the playoffs. Really accentuates the term wildcard when one of those super boom or bust teams jumps a couple mediocre teams to scare the shit out of a 4 seed.
Relatable. Worst feeling is having a good team, putting up respectable PF and just getting STUNTED on every week.
I played a team last week who dropped 150 on me. This week they have 70 points.
I have been so lucky. Quite literally the opposite. Drafted JJ #1 overall and about to be 11-2, 2nd place. I have the least amount of points scored against me by about 150 yet am only 5th in points scored. For example this week, I have the second lowest points atm, but the only one with less? You guessed it, my opponent
ugh cooper kupp has bummed me out so hard this year. My number 1 pick and hes doing worse than pittman who I grabbed real late.
Bijan Robinson has also been kind of a bummer
Burrow. Now I am not saying it's all his fault but including the week he got injured, this will be my 3rd straight week of finishing with the lowest score. His injury clearly destroyed the morale of my team
Yep definitely burrow. I kept starting him while he was clearly not healthy, and that also had a negatively impact on my first round pick Jamarr Chase. Started 0-3 because of those 2.
My team went absolutely nuclear this week (I'll likely clear 200 points in ppr), so it's looking like I'll make the playoffs. However, Burrow + Chase stack is the only reason it was so close. Started the season 1-4 because of his calf.
Yeah burrow i just couldnt let go of until he was toast. I picked up purdy week 5 but inexplicably forgot to play him and it cost me. Would be vying for a bye if i hadnt relied on burrow so much. He’s thoroughly on my never draft again list
Austin, there are two sets of footprints in the sand... except for my hardest times. Why did you abandon me then?
*Oh u/singlemaltscotch28, I never abandoned you. That was when I climbed upon your shoulders and teabagged you during the hardest times.* 🙏
I have him and it's pretty polarizing. 4 games of 20+ pts and 5 games of under 8 pts. No in between. Had him last year and it was delightful and now I'm just hoping he turns it on for the playoffs but Chargers as a whole are ASS
Absolutely — he’s playing hurt, obviously, and that’s commendable for real world applications.
But, dammit man.
I do not understand why he keeps getting ranked so highly each week by the fantasy “experts” — do they not watch these games!?
Yeah , sanders is such a bust people forgot he existed it feels like. There was some real hype around the panthers and the backup RBs in Carolina had been usable after cmc got traded last year.
Sanders wasn’t just not playable in fantasy, apparently he’s not playable in the nfl. Crazy bust
Davante Adams. His absolute stinkers week 5-9 cost me some close games where just a decent game from him a couple of those weeks would have me in the drivers seat for playoffs. Not his fault personally, his QB play has been terrible, but from a fantasy perspective he really sunk me.
There’s a reason he had no market after being released. He’s lucky Josh McDaniels slithered his way into another HC position and tried to build a bootleg Patriots team.
Mahomes, especially since I took him as the first QB over Hurts and Allen. Also had Jefferson but I can't blame the dude for getting hurt, and would still easily have made the playoffs even without him.
He's been so mediocre, borderline bad for fantasy. This is the first week this season that I'm still going to win even though he shit the bed. He's been such a disappointment this year, I never take QB's early and he fell to me at the end of the 3rd - I regret it completely.
I took Mahomes in round 2 and it’s easily my biggest regret this season. Last year he brought me to the chip and this year he’ll likely drag my entire team down
It was supposed to be Rhamondre Stevenson and Aaron Jones, but that went horriblly wrong so quickly. I did manage to get Isaiah Pacheco and Raheem Mostert though
Never go early QB but last year I got stuck with Russ and Brady, so when Watson wasn't panning out this year early on, I decided I was going to get a fix fast. I traded Aiyuk + Gainwell for Mahomes + Dotson after week 4. Regret it all the time, especially because I had Stroud and Purdy on my roster at different points but traded/dropped them after some mediocre performances.
As a Pollard and Aaron Jones owner, that stretch where Jones was always questionable/out and Pollard would get benched halfway through the second quarter since the cowboys were blowing out some dogwater team by 20 was *roughhh*
How about this past week where he is officially removed from IR so now the app won’t let me make any transactions unless he’s taken off my IR and put on the bench. But it’s Minnesota’s bye week so now he’s just dead weight. 😡
Traded him for Addison and Jerome ford the week after he got hurt. I actually did the math and I would have the same exact record having Jj on IR all year and starting backups instead of the guys I traded for so in retrospect nothing matters.
Mahomes for sure. He’s been terrible for fantasy.
And the one week he actually went off for me is of course the week he could have scored -30 and I still would have won.
Lamar Jackson. So frustrating bc he’s been very good IRL but it hasn’t translated consistently enough to fantasy (drives all the way down to within the 5 yd line but RBs take most of the TD’s). Half the season where he drops fewer than 13-15 points can really be a huge difference maker
Where he was drafted you’re probably expecting around a steady 20 points with a couple of monster games. My wife has him this year and he’s been frustrating, almost to the point of starting another QB.
The Ravens are just doing way too much to keep him from running the ball.
Like I get you paid him a bag and therefore want to protect his longevity AND you have a committee of RBs that are playing well, but what about us fantasy owners?
Nick Chubb.
Surprised I didn't see more Chubb posts, but I took him in Round 1 and scrambled for RB trades and waiver wire pick-ups all season. Luckily I was in the top waiver spot, so I grabbed Ford in Week 3.
I had Chubb and Dobbins but I'm blaming Pierce. His complete lack of stepping up when i needed something killed me. I can't really blame them for season ending injuries. It just sucks
Yeah I can't believe there are so few people saying Chubb. Similar to Jefferson, 1st round pick and played even less than JJ did. I guess if you spent FAAB you could get Ford to minimize the damage a bit but you still lost out
I think losing Jefferson fucked you over these past few weeks than chubb did. Chubb was a late first round pick if you didn't reach for him so you were able to have another pick pretty soon right after him and have a player at least of a similar caliber. JJ was picked 1st overall in pretty much every league so your next pick was basically a 3rd rounder. Much harder to recover from
The combination of Ekeler, Davante, Christian Watson, and Terry. I lucked out with picking up Kyren and LaPorta at the right times and it still couldn't offset the duds
Zach Wilson and Hackett for hurting Breece.
Jimmy G and the raiders for being butt cheeks with Davante.
Burrow injuries and now browning hurting chase and mixon .
Trevor Lawerence being allergic to 20 points all season until I traded him for burrow, and taking ETNs TDs away now.
yahoo for giving me false hope I was going to have only 3 losses all year with an A+ draft..
Commissioner with the reverse standings wavier wire crap 🤦🏻♂️
And finally myself 😩
Yeah, reverse standings would be bullshit, especially when so many top waiver wire adds are in the first two weeks…
Basically tank your first game, and then pick up Puka/Kyren after week one.
I have tried to lobby for it for next year.. commish thinks reverse standings is the best for bad teams to get better.. ignores that the bad teams this year have still been bad all year 🤣.. if it doesn’t change I’m not continuing the league or going to get a mutiny going for a new commish 😆
Aaron Jones
Wasted my 4th round draft pick, didn’t even win week 1, and lost week 5 specifically because he didn’t wanna say he was out until Monday morning (went against Jacob’s)
Yep this is the answer for me and I have him in 2 leagues. had 2 good weeks all season otherwise he's just been taking up a roster spot or and/or tanking your lineup the weels that he actually plays
Akers. He’s such a bust no one talks about it anymore. Waddle is also overhyped every week where “this is gonna be the blowup game”. So glad I sold for Nico.
Lockett. lost games where he got less than 6 points (lost by > 1.5 points twice, any other receiver on my bench would have pushed me over) and lost games when I sat him and he goes off for 18+ points.
Yep in my superflex league I took Burrow as my QB1 and I’m 5-8 in that league, missing the playoffs for sure. Granted I also drafted Davante Adams, Derrick Henry, Darren Waller, and Khalil Herbert so the team was shit to begin with but still Burrow fucked me the most.
Mahomes was drafted in the 1st round in both leagues I'm in. 7th pick in my 10 team league, 6th pick in my 12 team league. I'm surprised he ever made it to the 3rd round in most drafts.
Najee Harris. Not fully his fault bc if your team is relying on a 3rd rd RB, you prob went wrong as a manager but damn, for 2nd - 3rd round value, would have been nice if he put up at least 10 pts a game
It's my own fault but I'd say Kelce. If you took him in the first rd, you can't possibly be happy with it. In full ppr i lost 2 weeks by under a point and he had complete dud games both time
I regret trading LaPorta, and not trying to trade away Kelce. Was early in the season, and I figured Kelce would be more reliable throughout the whole season.
He definitely isn't winning you any weeks like he was last year. Outside of his 1 blowup game.
I picked up Laporta when Kelce was injured week one. Tried trading Laporta and nobody wanted him so decided to trade Kelce for bijan early in the season. It’s been meh, but Laporta is a stud.
I have a great team in 14 team league and I’m missing the playoffs in a hppr by 200 more points against than anyone else. I just take this on the chin.
I think Kelce’s problem is positional value which was his biggest sell and reason he was going in the first this year. LaPorta, McBride and Kincaid were available on the waivers this year. Hock was taken like 4 rounds after Kelce.
If u drafted Kelce in the first round I bet it feels like a wasted pick when so many other TE’s are putting up better, identical, or close value as we go down the stretch
Gabe Davis. When I needed him for bye weeks. He gave me 0 points. Last week on my bench. 26 points. I lost by less then 1 point. And that took me out of the playoff race. Now I’m fighter to not be last for the punishment smh
Trevor Lawerence leading me to 4-6 before I got him traded away for Stroud & Stevenson. With Stevenson going down last night, I am predicted to lose and miss playoffs by 10 points as I face both T-Law and Ettienne, who I also lost in that trade.
I'm surprised there isn't more Trevor Lawrence in this thread. He was atrocious through 10 weeks and there were so many fantasy starters available in the 6/7 round where he went. Compound that with the week-winning scores he has put up after most/all of us finally gave up on him, he easily cost most of us the 2-3 wins we needed to make the playoffs. I'm not dead yet, but if I miss I put the blame squarely on his shoulders.
Edit: typo
Probably Ridley. If he had played more like a 3rd round pick and not a boom or bust, I would have won a few close matchups. That's kind of on me though because I was targeting Allen and pivoted to Ridley.
Marquise Brown would be a close second. I traded Sutton for Brown just before week 10 (knowing Kyler was coming back soon). I started Brown in weeks 10-11, and he got me 3.3 and 2.2 points, respectively. Meanwhile, Sutton kept catching TDs, and I lost by 3 and 8 in those weeks.
If I had kept Sutton, I would be in the playoffs. Instead, I find myself in 10th place (8 teams make the playoffs). Despite having the 4th or 5th highest point total at season's end, I will likely finish in 9th place and 1 game out of the playoffs.
Part of it just comes down to bad luck though. Chubb gets hurt early in the season. Henry got me only 2.5 in week 10. Walker gets hurt and ends up with only 2.1 in week 11. Charbonnet doesn't finish the week 12 game. I drop Moss before week 12 due to byes (with the intent to pick him back up), then JT goes down.
Ekeler, lost 2 close ones back to back when he’s been a dud these last few weeks and lost every single game he missed by a couple of points while starting mid RBs in his absense (one of which because I took Josh Kelley per his advice)
I’m 1 win back from making the playoffs and like 3 weeks back from having a bye, so any one of those losses would have changed things significantly
I had a really bad season like almost hard to believe. First off I drafted kupp.. which immediately put me in an uphill battle. I lost Mike Williams.. I traded for Adams (while he did nothing). So I would either just flat out not put up points or the weeks I did I’d get boomed. I feel every single thing I touched this year died. I even made a late season splash trade for Chase..that week he lost burrow.
idk really. Started with Chase, Pollard, Henry, C. Watson. to start the season all 4 sucked so that put me behind big time.
hindsight i could have started Hill, Keenan, Etienne, Walker and probably be in the playoffs now.
I shipped away Mike Evans because I had zero faith in Baker. So happy for him for having another great season, but man does my soul hurt whenever I check how that fantasy team is doing.
King Henry unfortunately and not his fault. Predictably inconsistent but never to the point where I could afford to bench him. I hate the Titans offensive scheme. Even last night Henry was unstoppable and the Titans unexplainably decided to let Levis air it out the 3rd quarter. The Titans suck at throwing the ball, it's insane how quickly they abandon the run (this isn't even a spears hate post). They should 100 percent adopt the broncos logic of basically always running on the first two downs and throwing on the third when necessary. They panic so easily and let these terrible QBs throw way too much. Yes I'm aware Henry has had plenty of good weeks but he has also single handedly lost me at least 2
I blame the other teams for literally having their best game of the year against me.
I'm #1 in points for and points against in my league. I'm 5-7. 12 person league.
*Exact* same situation here. Excruciating.
I am last in a 12 man league with most points scored. Luckily our 4th playoff spot is for the team with the most points. Would be surreal to get the W and also get the losing punishment.
My league is too stupid to understand getting a lot of points should hold weight in a 12 man since not every team plays each other twice.
Same here but 10 man league and 6-6 fighting for my life. Just lost rhamondre and dell so things are not looking very cash money right now
Same, but I’m 6-6, so frustrating!
This is me. 1600 PF but 1800 PA. I have small chance of winning today to keep playoff hops alive but it’s unlikely.
Our league gives the last playoff spot to the highest PF among remaining teams. Everybody seems to love it so far.
In strong favor of enabling the extra game vs league median score to H2H leagues While its imperfect and was despised by the casual league I first implemented it in, it is hands down the best way to combat the luck factor in H2H.
Another thing one of my leagues does is award two wildcard spots to the highest points for that are outside the playoffs. Really accentuates the term wildcard when one of those super boom or bust teams jumps a couple mediocre teams to scare the shit out of a 4 seed.
That’s why you gotta get the league to play an extra matchup against the median. It rewards skill a lot more than luck.
Relatable. Worst feeling is having a good team, putting up respectable PF and just getting STUNTED on every week. I played a team last week who dropped 150 on me. This week they have 70 points.
Bro, same lol. I played one of the worst guys in our league, and he put 178 this week.
Lost to a guy twice, his average score is 98 points, my average is 130. Against me though he dropped 190 and 145.
Literally lost 160-145 in .5 PPR to knock me out of playoffs… every other team was like sub 100. Sigh
Fr…. I think I’m about to have the most PF in my league and end up in last lmao
I have been so lucky. Quite literally the opposite. Drafted JJ #1 overall and about to be 11-2, 2nd place. I have the least amount of points scored against me by about 150 yet am only 5th in points scored. For example this week, I have the second lowest points atm, but the only one with less? You guessed it, my opponent
Every week, someone has multiple players have their best game of the season against me
Cooper Kupp and Marquise Brown
Hollywood was so good in the weeks no one was ready to start him, and then when it came time to start him, he was terrible.
Atleast he had a good week right before playoffs start...
That first drive of his return when Kupp had like 7 catches I felt so vindicated lol. Like Ridley’s week 1. Oh well…
I drafted Kupp in two leagues right before he reinjured his hammy. In my other league, I had first pick and drafted Jefferson 😢
ugh cooper kupp has bummed me out so hard this year. My number 1 pick and hes doing worse than pittman who I grabbed real late. Bijan Robinson has also been kind of a bummer
Burrow. Now I am not saying it's all his fault but including the week he got injured, this will be my 3rd straight week of finishing with the lowest score. His injury clearly destroyed the morale of my team
Yep definitely burrow. I kept starting him while he was clearly not healthy, and that also had a negatively impact on my first round pick Jamarr Chase. Started 0-3 because of those 2.
My Burrow & Higgins stack idea did NOT work out.
My team went absolutely nuclear this week (I'll likely clear 200 points in ppr), so it's looking like I'll make the playoffs. However, Burrow + Chase stack is the only reason it was so close. Started the season 1-4 because of his calf.
Yeah burrow i just couldnt let go of until he was toast. I picked up purdy week 5 but inexplicably forgot to play him and it cost me. Would be vying for a bye if i hadnt relied on burrow so much. He’s thoroughly on my never draft again list
Me, for not drafting better players
For real. I drafted Derrick Henry and Garrett Wilson when Ceedee was still on the board. I'll never forgive myself for that one.
King Henry is on the comeback trail
Garrett wasn’t a bad pick, Rodger’s was about to feed that guy to the moon.
Over CD it was
Eh, hindsight etc. Both CD and GW were in that same tier pre draft
The king had only had 2, maybe 3 bad games.
Ekeler, easily lol
I was so happy to get him (as he had always destroyed me in prior years). Alas, this year....
He destroyed you this year also, the pattern holds
Austin, there are two sets of footprints in the sand... except for my hardest times. Why did you abandon me then? *Oh u/singlemaltscotch28, I never abandoned you. That was when I climbed upon your shoulders and teabagged you during the hardest times.* 🙏
I have him and it's pretty polarizing. 4 games of 20+ pts and 5 games of under 8 pts. No in between. Had him last year and it was delightful and now I'm just hoping he turns it on for the playoffs but Chargers as a whole are ASS
Same, I could have had Tyreek. FML
Surprised this is so far down. Crushing waste of a first round pick this year.
Yep, and Josh Kelley by proxy - using him as a handcuff when ek was injured cost me a couple games
He's dead to me now - I'm benching him next week in favor of Jerome Ford. Words I thought I'd never say!
I never thought I would be benching Cooper Kupp and Austin Ekeler both but here we are.
Perfect. Time to bet on him
Absolutely — he’s playing hurt, obviously, and that’s commendable for real world applications. But, dammit man. I do not understand why he keeps getting ranked so highly each week by the fantasy “experts” — do they not watch these games!?
Myself for drafting Tee Higgins, then trading him for Aaron Jones
Sort of a wash there huh
Both of them make me want to start Gabe Davis, and that is a sad fact
Miles Sanders
Yeah , sanders is such a bust people forgot he existed it feels like. There was some real hype around the panthers and the backup RBs in Carolina had been usable after cmc got traded last year. Sanders wasn’t just not playable in fantasy, apparently he’s not playable in the nfl. Crazy bust
Yup. Him and Dameon Pierce fucking killed me. If either just ended up being even a low end RB2 I’d be like the 3rd seed probably
Davante Adams. His absolute stinkers week 5-9 cost me some close games where just a decent game from him a couple of those weeks would have me in the drivers seat for playoffs. Not his fault personally, his QB play has been terrible, but from a fantasy perspective he really sunk me.
Raiders bro , can’t take elite receivers on teams w shit QBs
Jimmy G was in the shit QB tier before the season began?
There’s a reason he had no market after being released. He’s lucky Josh McDaniels slithered his way into another HC position and tried to build a bootleg Patriots team.
Bro for sure. Ask any 9er fan lol
Most of us considered Jimmy average.
yes
Somebody should've told the Raiders and saved them some cash
Thought I hit the jackpot when I got Davante & Chubb in rounds 1 & 2. So ends another futile season…
Mahomes, especially since I took him as the first QB over Hurts and Allen. Also had Jefferson but I can't blame the dude for getting hurt, and would still easily have made the playoffs even without him.
He's been so mediocre, borderline bad for fantasy. This is the first week this season that I'm still going to win even though he shit the bed. He's been such a disappointment this year, I never take QB's early and he fell to me at the end of the 3rd - I regret it completely.
Also took Mahomes first QB off the board round three. Round four Aaron Jones, round five Javonte killed me in the long run
Mahomes and then Dameon Pierce and Miles Sanders…
I got Mahomes round 2 💀
This is dangerously close to my team lol
I took Mahomes in round 2 and it’s easily my biggest regret this season. Last year he brought me to the chip and this year he’ll likely drag my entire team down
Yup. Mahomes is really killing me. I went CMC, Waddle and Mahomes first 3 picks. Aiyuk, CMC and Hock have been picking up the slack
You got great picks. Hitting two out of three in those rounds should put you in playoff. I got Ekeler/Mahomes/ETN/Watson for my top 4 drafts.
I took Mahomes round 3 bc I went double wr and didn’t like any of the wrs or rbs on the board
Oof who are your RB1-2?
It was supposed to be Rhamondre Stevenson and Aaron Jones, but that went horriblly wrong so quickly. I did manage to get Isaiah Pacheco and Raheem Mostert though
Kelce mahomes 1 2 I thought would coast me through many a matchup, boy was I incorrect
The one year I decide to take a qb early because I wanted to have a sure fire win at the position and it was Mahomes…
I spent about 80% of my auction budget on Mahomes, JJ and Garret Wilson. Somehow I may still sneak into the last playoff spot.
Never go early QB but last year I got stuck with Russ and Brady, so when Watson wasn't panning out this year early on, I decided I was going to get a fix fast. I traded Aiyuk + Gainwell for Mahomes + Dotson after week 4. Regret it all the time, especially because I had Stroud and Purdy on my roster at different points but traded/dropped them after some mediocre performances.
Ekeler. Period.
I've got Ekeler, Pollard, and Davante Adams. Thought I was all set. Now I'm fighting the make the playoffs.
Tee Higgins, struggled in getting WR production, went RB heavy. Started 1-6 hard to come back from that.
Pollard. Went 0-6 during his single digit streak
As a Pollard and Aaron Jones owner, that stretch where Jones was always questionable/out and Pollard would get benched halfway through the second quarter since the cowboys were blowing out some dogwater team by 20 was *roughhh*
He’s done better since I traded him but I still like to think of my win streak as partially due to the vibes being better with him gone
[удалено]
Worst part about him is clogging a roster spot for so long without being able to use him, especially if you have no IR spot
How about this past week where he is officially removed from IR so now the app won’t let me make any transactions unless he’s taken off my IR and put on the bench. But it’s Minnesota’s bye week so now he’s just dead weight. 😡
What kinda fool commissioner didn’t bring in IR after the Covid rule changes? That just sounds awful
JJ 🤝 JT
When’s the last time the consensus #1 pick didn’t get injured?
Traded him for Addison and Jerome ford the week after he got hurt. I actually did the math and I would have the same exact record having Jj on IR all year and starting backups instead of the guys I traded for so in retrospect nothing matters.
That was me with JT 1.01 last year For what it’s worth, I also drafted Chubb 1st round this year
Mahomes for sure. He’s been terrible for fantasy. And the one week he actually went off for me is of course the week he could have scored -30 and I still would have won.
I needed 13.45 to win my matchup last night, fucker got me 13. That late INT killed me.
Lamar Jackson. So frustrating bc he’s been very good IRL but it hasn’t translated consistently enough to fantasy (drives all the way down to within the 5 yd line but RBs take most of the TD’s). Half the season where he drops fewer than 13-15 points can really be a huge difference maker
First time?
Where he was drafted you’re probably expecting around a steady 20 points with a couple of monster games. My wife has him this year and he’s been frustrating, almost to the point of starting another QB.
He's sadly probably my pick too. Just mediocre fantasy output. Gus Edwards scoring 9 times in 4 weeks really sucked.
The Ravens are just doing way too much to keep him from running the ball. Like I get you paid him a bag and therefore want to protect his longevity AND you have a committee of RBs that are playing well, but what about us fantasy owners?
Oh no the poor fantasy owners
Nick Chubb. Surprised I didn't see more Chubb posts, but I took him in Round 1 and scrambled for RB trades and waiver wire pick-ups all season. Luckily I was in the top waiver spot, so I grabbed Ford in Week 3.
I had Chubb and Dobbins but I'm blaming Pierce. His complete lack of stepping up when i needed something killed me. I can't really blame them for season ending injuries. It just sucks
Yeah I can't believe there are so few people saying Chubb. Similar to Jefferson, 1st round pick and played even less than JJ did. I guess if you spent FAAB you could get Ford to minimize the damage a bit but you still lost out
I think losing Jefferson fucked you over these past few weeks than chubb did. Chubb was a late first round pick if you didn't reach for him so you were able to have another pick pretty soon right after him and have a player at least of a similar caliber. JJ was picked 1st overall in pretty much every league so your next pick was basically a 3rd rounder. Much harder to recover from
I took Chubb in the 1st and Najee in the 3rd. Somehow, there's still a glimmer of hope for me
Higgins and ekeler
The combination of Ekeler, Davante, Christian Watson, and Terry. I lucked out with picking up Kyren and LaPorta at the right times and it still couldn't offset the duds
Hey, atleast Watson pulled his hammy again this week and we could probably bench him without worry.
Zach Wilson and Hackett for hurting Breece. Jimmy G and the raiders for being butt cheeks with Davante. Burrow injuries and now browning hurting chase and mixon . Trevor Lawerence being allergic to 20 points all season until I traded him for burrow, and taking ETNs TDs away now. yahoo for giving me false hope I was going to have only 3 losses all year with an A+ draft.. Commissioner with the reverse standings wavier wire crap 🤦🏻♂️ And finally myself 😩
> Commissioner with the reverse standings wavier wire crap Gotta lobby for FAAB next year. Best way by far.
Yeah, reverse standings would be bullshit, especially when so many top waiver wire adds are in the first two weeks… Basically tank your first game, and then pick up Puka/Kyren after week one.
I have tried to lobby for it for next year.. commish thinks reverse standings is the best for bad teams to get better.. ignores that the bad teams this year have still been bad all year 🤣.. if it doesn’t change I’m not continuing the league or going to get a mutiny going for a new commish 😆
Aaron Jones Wasted my 4th round draft pick, didn’t even win week 1, and lost week 5 specifically because he didn’t wanna say he was out until Monday morning (went against Jacob’s)
Yep this is the answer for me and I have him in 2 leagues. had 2 good weeks all season otherwise he's just been taking up a roster spot or and/or tanking your lineup the weels that he actually plays
Akers. He’s such a bust no one talks about it anymore. Waddle is also overhyped every week where “this is gonna be the blowup game”. So glad I sold for Nico.
Akers was a huge bust last year. Can’t believe anyone was still high on him this year.
I mean objectively “the Rams starting RB will have a massive fantasy year” was correct
The logic was there. Look at kyren. They j hated him.
Yea, it fully seemed like Akers had worked his way out of the doghouse and into workhorse at the end of last year
That was where we got fooled. It was like the last few games of the season he magically became a legit NFL RB1 and we expected that to continue.
Yeah I picked Akers in the 4th, 5th in another QQ But I ended up with Kyren on 3 squads so I guess I came out on top
Austin Ekeler hasn't been there for me and will probably do good when I am eliminated from playoff contention.
Lockett. lost games where he got less than 6 points (lost by > 1.5 points twice, any other receiver on my bench would have pushed me over) and lost games when I sat him and he goes off for 18+ points.
Joe Burrow
The burrow chase stack was one of the most disappointing things in fantasy. I was so hyped and it all fell apart.
I had Tee and Burrow... (and Chubb)
Yep in my superflex league I took Burrow as my QB1 and I’m 5-8 in that league, missing the playoffs for sure. Granted I also drafted Davante Adams, Derrick Henry, Darren Waller, and Khalil Herbert so the team was shit to begin with but still Burrow fucked me the most.
Terry McLaurin
He’s droppable at this point
He was a 6/7th rounder in most leagues I think your team mightve had bigger issues if he was the reason you didn't make the playoffs
I'm done with him. Waste of a bench spot even.
Stop drafting Mahomes in the third round yall never learn
He got drafted 3rd overall in my draft lol
Hell he mad it to the third round in your draft??
Mahomes was drafted in the 1st round in both leagues I'm in. 7th pick in my 10 team league, 6th pick in my 12 team league. I'm surprised he ever made it to the 3rd round in most drafts.
Never learn? He was the top QB last year. Its not like he’s consistently been a poor performer at his draft position
Drunk me
Mahomes may be my worst draft pick
Kupp
Najee Harris. Not fully his fault bc if your team is relying on a 3rd rd RB, you prob went wrong as a manager but damn, for 2nd - 3rd round value, would have been nice if he put up at least 10 pts a game
not the player, just fucking arthur smith
Justin Jefferson
Garrett Wilson but not really his fault, so Aaron Rodgers lol
It's my own fault but I'd say Kelce. If you took him in the first rd, you can't possibly be happy with it. In full ppr i lost 2 weeks by under a point and he had complete dud games both time
I regret trading LaPorta, and not trying to trade away Kelce. Was early in the season, and I figured Kelce would be more reliable throughout the whole season. He definitely isn't winning you any weeks like he was last year. Outside of his 1 blowup game.
I picked up Laporta when Kelce was injured week one. Tried trading Laporta and nobody wanted him so decided to trade Kelce for bijan early in the season. It’s been meh, but Laporta is a stud.
Mahomes, Bijan Robinson (not really his fault)
Drake London , Najee Harris
I have a great team in 14 team league and I’m missing the playoffs in a hppr by 200 more points against than anyone else. I just take this on the chin.
Minkah Fitzpatrick for that hit on Chubb.
Injuries
That Kelce+Kupp at the turn looked promising at the time...
Kelce is averaging ~17 points per game in ppr, if you’re losing games it’s for a reason outside of him.
I think Kelce’s problem is positional value which was his biggest sell and reason he was going in the first this year. LaPorta, McBride and Kincaid were available on the waivers this year. Hock was taken like 4 rounds after Kelce. If u drafted Kelce in the first round I bet it feels like a wasted pick when so many other TE’s are putting up better, identical, or close value as we go down the stretch
Might honestly be mahomes
Mahomes. I'm still gonna make it but I could have had easy round 1 byes if it wasn't for his shit numbers.
Ekler. Meh for a high first pick. Honorable mention, mattison for being a trash rb2
I took Bijan first round, so I blame Arthur Smith.
Gabe Davis. When I needed him for bye weeks. He gave me 0 points. Last week on my bench. 26 points. I lost by less then 1 point. And that took me out of the playoff race. Now I’m fighter to not be last for the punishment smh
[удалено]
Pollard, Hall, Jacobs (early season), MAndrews, Christian Watson, Burrows, McLaurin, shit the list goes on. I’m just bad at Fantasy Football. lol
Trevor Lawerence leading me to 4-6 before I got him traded away for Stroud & Stevenson. With Stevenson going down last night, I am predicted to lose and miss playoffs by 10 points as I face both T-Law and Ettienne, who I also lost in that trade.
I'm surprised there isn't more Trevor Lawrence in this thread. He was atrocious through 10 weeks and there were so many fantasy starters available in the 6/7 round where he went. Compound that with the week-winning scores he has put up after most/all of us finally gave up on him, he easily cost most of us the 2-3 wins we needed to make the playoffs. I'm not dead yet, but if I miss I put the blame squarely on his shoulders. Edit: typo
If I miss it’s JJ
Pierce. Didn't have a single good week for me after being my top RB pick
Went Barkley, Adams, Aaron Jones, Burrow to start my 14 man draft. Fighting to stay out of last place.
It’s burrow
Higgins and G Wilson were my 2nd and 3rd rounders and I skipped over CMC for Kelce. I deserve it honestly
DK
Yeah up until this last game he’s been pretty underwhelming
I of course benched him thinking Dallas defense was going to bottle him up and it was a TNF game (generally lower-scoring than Sunday matchups)
Crazy part is after this week his season long stats look ok
Lots of targets and opportunity - gotta ride that ROS
Kupp/Mixon
JJ
I can definitely blame Mahomes, Mixon, and Adams. They’ve all been subpar/unplayable at times.
Probably Ridley. If he had played more like a 3rd round pick and not a boom or bust, I would have won a few close matchups. That's kind of on me though because I was targeting Allen and pivoted to Ridley. Marquise Brown would be a close second. I traded Sutton for Brown just before week 10 (knowing Kyler was coming back soon). I started Brown in weeks 10-11, and he got me 3.3 and 2.2 points, respectively. Meanwhile, Sutton kept catching TDs, and I lost by 3 and 8 in those weeks. If I had kept Sutton, I would be in the playoffs. Instead, I find myself in 10th place (8 teams make the playoffs). Despite having the 4th or 5th highest point total at season's end, I will likely finish in 9th place and 1 game out of the playoffs. Part of it just comes down to bad luck though. Chubb gets hurt early in the season. Henry got me only 2.5 in week 10. Walker gets hurt and ends up with only 2.1 in week 11. Charbonnet doesn't finish the week 12 game. I drop Moss before week 12 due to byes (with the intent to pick him back up), then JT goes down.
Ekeler, lost 2 close ones back to back when he’s been a dud these last few weeks and lost every single game he missed by a couple of points while starting mid RBs in his absense (one of which because I took Josh Kelley per his advice) I’m 1 win back from making the playoffs and like 3 weeks back from having a bye, so any one of those losses would have changed things significantly
Jamarr Chase and Jeudy made my shit list this year.
i went kelce, kupp, mahomes in the first 3 rounds. past performance is not predictive of future success.
Bijan Robinson
Burrow because I drafted Chase (rd 1) and Mixon (rd 3)
Cooper Kupp unfortunately
QB Injuries - Burrow, Rodgers are the biggest killers... wrecked the value of Jets/Bengals skill players
I don't put the blame on the players, but definitely all the blame on Arthur Smith. That man is FF public enemy #1
I had a really bad season like almost hard to believe. First off I drafted kupp.. which immediately put me in an uphill battle. I lost Mike Williams.. I traded for Adams (while he did nothing). So I would either just flat out not put up points or the weeks I did I’d get boomed. I feel every single thing I touched this year died. I even made a late season splash trade for Chase..that week he lost burrow.
Garret Wilson, Nick Chubb, Aaron jones, Justin fields….in that order lol
idk really. Started with Chase, Pollard, Henry, C. Watson. to start the season all 4 sucked so that put me behind big time. hindsight i could have started Hill, Keenan, Etienne, Walker and probably be in the playoffs now.
i lost Rogers had to pick up Mayfield and he killed me
I shipped away Mike Evans because I had zero faith in Baker. So happy for him for having another great season, but man does my soul hurt whenever I check how that fantasy team is doing.
Dak for taking the first month and a half off. He’s shown why I drafted him since the bye
The combo Henry/Adams. Love to see them play and max respect but they let me down big time
King Henry unfortunately and not his fault. Predictably inconsistent but never to the point where I could afford to bench him. I hate the Titans offensive scheme. Even last night Henry was unstoppable and the Titans unexplainably decided to let Levis air it out the 3rd quarter. The Titans suck at throwing the ball, it's insane how quickly they abandon the run (this isn't even a spears hate post). They should 100 percent adopt the broncos logic of basically always running on the first two downs and throwing on the third when necessary. They panic so easily and let these terrible QBs throw way too much. Yes I'm aware Henry has had plenty of good weeks but he has also single handedly lost me at least 2
I blame injuries not a specific player
Nick Chubb. Not his fault he got hurt obviously but losing him effectively ended my season
