Oh they fucked me alright, the defense that is.
En route to 1-6 and increasing my lead in Points Against by probably 40+ more points. Good times.

love ya mean it!
managed to pick up Ajayi in my other league, and instead of starting him at flex, i started Nelson :|
I followed last week's record-setting score in my league with fewer than half as many points (152-70) this week thanks to the McCoy-ODB-D.Johnson scoring me 24 points (107 last week). Technically I started Terrance West over McCoy though :^)
In one league I'm going to be 2-5, 1st in points scored and points against and top 3 in "Breakdown" scoring (record vs every member of the league every week), while in another I'm fixing to be 3-4 despite averaging 10% fewer points than the guy in 10th place (I'm in 11th by PF). It's been a weird year
also will some fuck in league C trade me a WR for a RB, sick of starting Alshon Jeffery every week and rolling Blounts on my bench

my league C team is the biggest group of underperforming pricks I've ever seen :/
on the plus side my NARFFL team looks aces, my lowest weekly scores have placed 5th and 7th, I've finished first once, and literally every other time 3rd in PF for the week. Running Stafford/Rivers, Murray, Hilton/Marshall/Arob/Cooks/Djax, and Tucker works well. Now if only I could find an RB not named Bernard or Jones I'd be set.

Let me share my roster from another league with you:
QBs: Andy dalton, tyrod Taylor
WRs: Allen Robinson, Randall Cobb, Julian Edelman, emmanuel sanders
RBs: Jamaal Charles, Chris ivory, jacquizz rodgers (picked up last week on the wire)
TE: Jason Witten
Def: rams
K: Chris Boswell
This squad is 0-7. No crying from you
That's your own fault for getting bad qbs, a bad TE, Chris ivory as your rb2, and holding a kicker who hasn't performed in any game this season
My league c team (now 1-6) has Stafford, Sanders, Robinson, Charles, Freeman, Rudolph, Coleman, snead, diggs, pitta, Ryan Matthews, and Crosby
That should be a good team with a top 3 qb and two top 12 rbs plus two top 10 TEs. But they've just been bad. I can't even claim bas luck because even though I'm 3rd in PA I'm only 9th in PF. For whatever reason that group of guys can't score and when they do it's staggered to the point of uselessness. RIP Keenan Allen

Jabba's team in strongs league is absurd
"IStandWithKaepernick would be 55-8 if they played every team every week."

Got an interesting challenge for the next couple weeks. With Carolina on bye, I had to stream in a QB for Newton. The only good option was Winston, especially playing SF. Carolina's coming off the bye, but they face Arizona and LA next. Winston plays Oakland and Atlanta. I might just run Winston for the next two. As long as he stops playing like he'll be the next Eli Manning in the league.
Yeah and I beat Jabba last week in #strongs cuz im the best *flex*
Just play Newton, that's what I'm doing. His odds of a rushing TD are too high, among other things. Last week in League A I picked up Alex Smith and he did okay, his schedule is pretty favorable in this midseason stretch.
My League A team: Fig Newton, Baldwin/Diggs/Floyd/Beasley, Freeman/Ajayi/Crowell (Peterson RIP), Walker, kicker, from Texans to streaming DEFs.
"If they played every team every week, Murphy's Law would be 39-38."
Actual record: 1-6

I was talkin to someone yesterday about it and he also thought Oakland may start stepping up on defense. I'll run him this week then see. His floor is a million times better than Winston. I'll still be looking up at that TB-ATL matchup though. Frees me space.Yeah and I beat Jabba last week in #strongs cuz im the best *flex*

That's for my B. For my A, after that big trade, I now got Evans to go with Jones with a still decent backfield even with Mccoy's injury. Gonna stop dancing with Aaron Rodgers and will just stick with him there for a while. Ryan will just be for the great matchups and collateral.
This is where I celebrate picking up Booker in both leagues.
And lament the fact I quickly dropped him last week for Kenny fucking Britt in Smogon League A because of my horrendous injury/bye woes. That's okay, I didn't want to win this year anyway, got boring after the last two. ;[

Except you didn't actually win last year cause DeMarco Murray happened and you missed the playoffs ;)
I legit forgot I had a fantasy team that needed a RB (thanks Doug Martin) and now I'm stuck with the Plodzilla Matt Asiata instead of Devontae Booker. I had #1 waiver priority T_T
At least I scooped him up in League A last week before anyone else did after he was dropped, so I'm (hopefully?) out of RB purgatory now. Just before, I had Bilal Powell (as a handcuff to Forte) and DeAndre Washington as my backup RBs. Now if Allen Robinson could get his shit together, my team can maybe stop underachieving like crazy.

Looking real good in A this week, with the luxury to pick between Blount, Michael, Rodgers, and Booker. I love being preemptive with waivers a week or two early. Glad I grabbed Booker when I did.
The question is whether to swallow Eagles Defense points (against the Cowgirls) or steam in Titans. Honestly, as long as they don't go negative, I can probably take whatever that slot coughs up this week. Average matchups for my opponent (Ware and Murray are the only ones that are looking OK for sure), so I'm expecting to steamroll this motherfucker.
B has been lucky so far. It's 5-2, but mainly because of dudes against me underperforming at just the right times (I'm only like 4th or 5th in total points). Opponent is more solid except at RB. His shit got depleted with the byes and there's not much open on the market for him to grab now.

Blount's always projected low because of Brady, but look what he's been doing week after Brady's return. Got better every time and topped out last week. Buffalo ain't a bad matchup either. They're like, close to bottom five for rush yards allowed at this point? I've been starting him each week and he hasn't disappointed except for week 4 (which was vs Buffalo, but this'll be very different).
Dammit Bortles threw 3 garbage time TDs and none of them went to Allen Robinson. To add further insult to injury, I was streaming the Titans DST this week.
Also, Aerodactyl Legend I'm pretty sure you threw off WaterBomb by calling one of your teams the A team considering there is a Smogon League A where he owns Blount and Rodgers.

Shit, if that's the case, I probably should post sparringly in this thread (at least about my teams), since I'm not actually in the leagues here (next season probably). I mentioned it earlier some pages back, but who can keep track. I just like the discussion here, as it's the only ongoing one throughout the season I'm involved with (plus, the dudes I'm in the main leagues I'm in are cocky, untalkative type).
WaterBomb's call.
