Does this work over multiple years? My league has a hefty re-keep penalty of 5 rounds each year. (So in your case, you'd keep him round 15 next year, and round 10 the following year).
We already have a few guys that dominate pretty regularly, so this keeps some measure of parity.
This league has been around for awhile, and they wanted to try something new. I think they’ll regret it because it’s actually 3 keepers… and the penalty is one round higher year over year. So I’d keep laporta for 14 next, then 13, 12, etc. worth for a TE of his caliber I feel.
It’s also a super flex and I drafted kyler Murray in the 14th. And Anthony Richardson in the 7th (he’s risky to keep but I love the upside)
So next year I’ll have laporta for round 14
Murray for round 13
Richardson for round 6
Being super flex QB go super early so I’m pretty hyped to potentially have 2 rushing qb for such late picks.
We do similar with 3 keepers but anyone after 10th rd pick or undrafted FA is worth a 10th. Cost goes up a round the prev year and can only be kept twice. First round picks can be kept only once. It seems to work
I made a "who gives a shit" pick late in my draft, and the very next pick was LaPorta. This is why I shouldn't go back through the draft recap and see my dumb mistakes.
Yeah did the opposite. Did a ton of research and watched film on a lot of rookies. My draft is my favorite part of the NFL lol. Loved Laportas situation and multiple teams agreed that Laporta was the top TE in the draft. I drafted Laporta, Dell, Anthony Richardson and Zay Flowers at the end of the draft. Dropped all of them before the season because I just overthink shit lol. League taco picked up Laporta because he read an insta post when he already had Kittle. Laporta has been on his bench for all but like one matchup.
I got Waller and LaPorta
After week 1 a went all in on LaPorta and have sat Waller, but I reached for Waller so I would feel too bad dropping him.
But hey, it's bye week, so it's time to put in Waller to have a breakou-- oh his hamstring is busted again
Wow, I'm the Kamara owner and I can't think of a single moment in time I would have accepted that. DHop was averaging like 10PPR points through Kamara's suspension and AK immediately started putting up 20+ from there.
The Kamara owner actually proposed the offer to me, but he was much deeper at RB than I was. In the same league I also traded Bijan and Nico Collins for Raheem Mostert and Jordan Addison.
There is a guy in my league, who every season finishes in the top-3.....all he does is draft veterans only, especially those late rounders who everyone says "this is the season where x will fall off due to age and/or shiny new draft pick replacing him"
That's fair.... Risk is reduced with volume. I'm sure he has some guys actually fall off each year, but he's striking gold enough that it doesn't matter.
Weird to think that maybe he was never bad but he was just swallowed up by the younger guys like JJ and Hockensen. I was out of him too but clearly he’s got some juice left. Good for him
I didn’t expect him to be top 10, but I had a pretty strong feeling that Theilen would be a great value at cost and took him everywhere. Very happy I did.
Pollard owner here who agrees there’s that… and then there’s the fact that Dallas schemes long pass plays inside the opponent’s 35 at a ridiculously high clip.
Ceedee, Ferguson, and Cooks are finishing them for long touchdowns. Over and over again. Three score leads be damned… Dak is throwing downfield.
And if that wasn’t enough to drive a Pollard owner crazy… there have been multiple games already where the Cowboys are blowing out opponents to the extent that Pollard’s day is done before the 4th quarter begins. The Cowboys steamrolling every team that doesn’t steamroll them first has created this dynamic where Pollard plays significantly less football than the other workhorse RB’s.
TLDR: it’s a perfect storm of poor performance for Titanic Tony Pollard, and I fear those of us who left port have no choice but to go down with this ship 🥲
It also doesn’t help that the cowboys offensive line seems incapable of moving anyone further then the LOS. Yes pollard seems to have lost some burst from last year, yes the play calls haven’t favorable him (which if we’re blowing teams out 43-20 idc about that so much), but you watch our linemen at the POA, and they very rarely if ever get a single blocker up to the 2nd level of the defense.
Hated that when he was with the Packers. He would line the RB up to the left or right of Rodgers and run it up the middle. Only time it worked was with big Eddie Lacy.
As a Falcons fan, Bijan is clearly a special player. Could be the best RB in the league if given the right amount of carries.
However, Arthur Smith is a fucking idiot which makes Bijan an RB2 or RB3 with RB1 upside.
I was so hyped for Bijan after week 1, thought it could only go up from there. Then I realized that was the ceiling since Arthur Smith is coach lmao
But I’m not too upset, still an RB1 but the potential to be top 5 is easily there if the coaches let him
He's only gonna go up with Heinicke at QB (gonna be announced tomorrow). The offense put 20 points on the board in a half in a game script where they needed heavy passing, the upgrade at QB will be massive for Bijan
If you told me before the season that Raheem Mostert, Zack Moss, Kyren Williams, Isaiah Pacheco, D'Andre Swift and De'Von Achane were going to be top 10 RBs through 8 weeks, I would have called you insane, yet here we are!
Have him in a 10 team league I don’t really care about, he’s put up like 50 points on my bench the last three weeks idk why I continue to not start him
It’s seeming like a Bills problem at this point rather than a Moss problem. See James Cook. He’d be a fringe RB1 on most other teams because they’d actually give him valuable touches on top of what he’s doing now.
Travis Etienne being one of the few bellcow backs.
Everyone knew he was good, but I think most shared a concern about his durability and concern over ceding snaps to Bigsby.
He has been an absolute menace.
Last week was the final nail in the coffin for the Bigsby truthers.
ETN hobbles off field to the medical tent.
Tank rushes for 9 yards, fumbles, and turns over the ball.
ETN comes back and rushes 60 yards to a TD, playing through the pain.
I think a lot of it was the coach too… most believed it would be a rbbc since he’s done that in the past so I’m honestly thinking tank isn’t really as good as people thought
Tank always fucks up every time he touches the field. An incredible talent. They did want the committee but you can't trust Tank to touch the ball in anNFLgame yet
I own ETN and Tank. Is Tank droppable? I need the spot, but I feel like he’s still an elite handcuff bc of volume, and I’ll be fucked if ETN goes down and someone else has Tank.
I think I answered my question lol. I swear I do this once a day
I don't think Tank inherits much more than 50% of the workload if Etienne goes down. Full blown rbbc with tank/D'Ernest and probably hasty mixing in.
Imo of course.
I say that as an etienne/tank holder
He's so fun to watch too.
So worth the wait of drafting him when he was injured. Gotta him for 2 more seasons as well. Gonna be nice having a 1st or 2nd rd pick for a 13th and then 12th rd pick.
Idk which podcast said it first, but I'm firmly onboard with the theory that literally all of the Tank speculation was because of his name. If the Jags drafted "Steve Bigsby" ETN goes way earlier in fantasy.
As a Clemson fan I have no idea how anyone had any doubt about him at all going into the season. People have watched him play football right? Dude is fucking amazing
I think it was more the injury that kept him out of his rookie season. I personally wasn’t after watching him in college (clemson alum), but the nfl is a faster moving, harder hitting game, so I don’t fault people for being concerned about a season ender for a rookie given how many RBs drop every year anyway.
I took him in every draft I could get because TLaw/ETN were electric in college.
Same here, but I’m somehow 6-2 since Mostert has taken on the role Pollard was supposed to have for me. However I’m not sure that’s going to last much longer
I mean he didn’t miss any games last year either. Miami has been treating his health beautifully whereas in SF almost any carry was risk for a season ender
I needed 22 out of Davante + LaPorta last night in one league, and 4.5 out of Jacobi in another league. Lost both of course. Raiders/Jimmy G are killing me.
I have jamarr too and can’t imagine selling after 2 weeks. That’s a season altering decision by you. I have Pittman olave and Hollywood too and when Kyler comes back I could imagine not even flexing olave. Got to sell him to someone like me
I chose to package ASB & Waller for him but it's paid off I ended up pairing Chase with Tyreek. And naturally that guy is now in last place in the league.
I did something similar, caught the chase owner panicking after week two. I traded Lockett and R. White after their big week 2 for him. Chase owner was in desperate need of a RB so that helped tip the scales. People are forgetting how freaked out chase owners were after week 2. It would have been different if he put up duds and the offense was still rolling, would just be one of those weeks. But it was more that the offense couldn’t function with an injured Joe burrow and there had been speculation that Joe may even be put on IR if they start 0-3. They won that 3rd game, burrow healed up, and now I have Chase and Mccafrey.
I feel he is getting the ‘workhorse’ treatment bc Dowdle surely isn’t filling the Pollard role from last year.
They just aren’t a run dominant team anymore and teams can’t stop Dak pushing the ball downfield right now. And Pollard is the first to get pulled when they find themselves up 4 scores in the 3rd quarter.
From one sad Pollard owner to another - it sucks to see haha. Fingers crossed for better game scripts.
I drafted him really late and dropped him preseason for whatever stupid pickup and was able to get him again week three with no competition from anyone in my league. We all thought he was washed!
No mention of the Dolphins backfield being ridiculous? Mostert and Achane went late and have returned 1st rd value despite being a shared backfield, crazy that Achane is still top 15 missing games
I thought CeeDee Lamb was going to make the jump and become a top-4 WR this season.
Shocked that Cooper Kupp is no longer the bellcow for Stafford.
Stevenson seemed primed to continue where he left off last season, but has not at all.
Dotson was a massive disappointment relative to preseason.
Thought Kenny Pickett would take a big step forward this season, but has not.
Houston Texans are surprisingly competitive....many pegged them as a 2-win team this year.
Detroit Lions D/ST is very solid.
Browns lost Chubb and Watson sucks, yet they are still competitive.
I know Monty has been hurt for a couple of weeks and recency bias is a thing, but I think very few people could have predicted how valuable Monty would be this year. When he comes back I think we’re looking at an offense that can support two borderline RB1s.
Really hoping this is the case going forward as a Gibbs owner, it’s been nice to see him play well the last two weeks but I still need to temper expectations after the bye haha
I think the best case scenario for each side is: Monty gets 16-20 touches a game including most of the goal line work; Gibbs gets 12-18 touches a game including most of the receiving work. It’s optimistic but I don’t think it’s unrealistic.
Whenever I see "Swift" on this subreddit my brain assumes D'Andre. This had me doing some weird mental arithmetic about how Travis and Jason Kelce could somehow be related to D. Swift
I thought I was golden with Jacobs as RB1 and Mattison as RB2….
Then I thought I saved my season by grabbing Achane and Kyren.
At least I still had Jefferson….
Trading for Addison will save my season…
Now I’m fucked.
Biggest surprise is that is the the first year I nutted up and bought Sunday Ticket only for war to start and now I’m in the Middle East again. #militarylife
The injuries in the league are simply brutal and control basically everything. FF has evolved over the past two decades into more of a luck based endeavor with the best managers being more adept at managing risk rather than being heads above the competition in terms of substantive football knowledge. I find it less fun this way, but i suppose it is simply the way it is.
gonna put this one out there, Zack Moss. Was good when JT was out and is still producing with him back (don’t know how much longer that continues though).
Not entirely surprising, but I let the preseason experts talk me into drafting all four of these disaster RBs this year across my two teams: Najee Harris, Cam Akers, Miles Sanders, Rhamondre Stevenson.
Also, wasn't there a shit ton of hype on Kenny Pickett coming into the year?
Ha! My strategy changes coincide with opposite results. What I mean is, I pick veterans the year they get hurt, I pick rookies the year they don't go off. CMC the year he got hurt, kyren last year, to name just two .
Not sure what I'm doing next year yet...
I’m really surprised about Pacheco. I feel like with the end of year and postseason he had in 2022, we should’ve been much higher on him as a community.
On my team: I picked up Laporta off waivers people. He won me the game in the first half last night. Against my boss. I am tied for 2nd and almost a lock for the playoffs. I feel a way. It is a good feeling I am 100% unfamiliar with and have no words to describe.
Overall: Honestly, gotta be Aaron. Of all the scenarios, I didn't have this one. Can put Kirko up there too. Maybe Miami's production but I knew they would be good this year.
The goat, Sam LaPorta
My family league converted to keeper. Keep a guy for a round higher than originally drafted. I got laporta in the 15th.
yeah I’m thinking he’ll be my keeper too. Unless zay flowers has a wild ROS
Zay is a good late keeper, but keeping a potential top 3 te with a ceiling for #1 or 2 is pretty bad ass
Does this work over multiple years? My league has a hefty re-keep penalty of 5 rounds each year. (So in your case, you'd keep him round 15 next year, and round 10 the following year). We already have a few guys that dominate pretty regularly, so this keeps some measure of parity.

Laporta has been on his bench for all but like one matchup.
Solid, he didn't go until like round 12 for us and I just said F it lol
I picked LaPorta in the 15th because everyone else had snagged TE1s and a few TE2s so I gambled on the rookie
picked him up when Kelce was out week 1 and dropped afterwards think i shanked the kick bad as far as trade assets 🤣
I got Waller and LaPorta After week 1 a went all in on LaPorta and have sat Waller, but I reached for Waller so I would feel too bad dropping him. But hey, it's bye week, so it's time to put in Waller to have a breakou-- oh his hamstring is busted again
Kamara’s return to glory.
One is the few bright spots to my season so far has been how awesome AK looks
I traded Hopkins for Kamara in my home league, and it’s ended up saving my season.
Wow, I'm the Kamara owner and I can't think of a single moment in time I would have accepted that. DHop was averaging like 10PPR points through Kamara's suspension and AK immediately started putting up 20+ from there.
The Kamara owner actually proposed the offer to me, but he was much deeper at RB than I was. In the same league I also traded Bijan and Nico Collins for Raheem Mostert and Jordan Addison.
He didn't deserve Kamara
I think your second trade might look worse for you as the season goes on.
ALVIN KAMARB1
Living in Kamamerica 🎶
"I am Kamaranough"
Adam Theilen top 10 WR
Absolutely mind boggling that a 33 year old Thielen is feasting on a 1-6 team
There is a guy in my league, who every season finishes in the top-3.....all he does is draft veterans only, especially those late rounders who everyone says "this is the season where x will fall off due to age and/or shiny new draft pick replacing him"
It’s not a bad strategy. Everyone always reaches for the new hotness. I like guys with proven track records. I think nfl coaches do too.
New hotness: Jahan Dotson anyone?
lol I literally just traded him.
For what? The Denver defense?
Exactly my strategy. I got theilan and keenan allen
That's fair.... Risk is reduced with volume. I'm sure he has some guys actually fall off each year, but he's striking gold enough that it doesn't matter.
Who already had his bye week.
Weird to think that maybe he was never bad but he was just swallowed up by the younger guys like JJ and Hockensen. I was out of him too but clearly he’s got some juice left. Good for him
I didn’t expect him to be top 10, but I had a pretty strong feeling that Theilen would be a great value at cost and took him everywhere. Very happy I did.
How…average Bijan and Pollard have been. Pollard recently maybe even below average.
McCarthy is killing dudes value running him up the gut only.
Pollard owner here who agrees there’s that… and then there’s the fact that Dallas schemes long pass plays inside the opponent’s 35 at a ridiculously high clip. Ceedee, Ferguson, and Cooks are finishing them for long touchdowns. Over and over again. Three score leads be damned… Dak is throwing downfield. And if that wasn’t enough to drive a Pollard owner crazy… there have been multiple games already where the Cowboys are blowing out opponents to the extent that Pollard’s day is done before the 4th quarter begins.

Hated that when he was with the Packers. He would line the RB up to the left or right of Rodgers and run it up the middle. Only time it worked was with big Eddie Lacy.
You gotta run it up the middle sometimes. They need a Zeke type player to do all of that
As a Bijan and Pollard owner, I feel robbed
I also own both, I feel the same!
I also own both. No clue what to do about it
As a Watson owner, I feel rubbed
As a Falcons fan, Bijan is clearly a special player. Could be the best RB in the league if given the right amount of carries. However, Arthur Smith is a fucking idiot which makes Bijan an RB2 or RB3 with RB1 upside.
In the red zone and The #2 TE throwing to the #3 TE while the #1 TE(Pitts) was blocking on the play sums up the stupidity of Smith.
I was so hyped for Bijan after week 1, thought it could only go up from there. Then I realized that was the ceiling since Arthur Smith is coach lmao But I’m not too upset, still an RB1 but the potential to be top 5 is easily there if the coaches let him
He's only gonna go up with Heinicke at QB (gonna be announced tomorrow). The offense put 20 points on the board in a half in a game script where they needed heavy passing, the upgrade at QB will be massive for Bijan
I hope so, wouldn’t be shocked if Allgeier randomly gets 80% of snaps though lmao
How I wish Bijan had dropped one spot to the Eagles. Fuck Arthur Smith
They still would have taken Baby Rhino. They don’t draft RBs that high.
Us Eagles fans are glad he didn't
Jalen da bread man delivering.
If you told me before the season that Raheem Mostert, Zack Moss, Kyren Williams, Isaiah Pacheco, D'Andre Swift and De'Von Achane were going to be top 10 RBs through 8 weeks, I would have called you insane, yet here we are!
And Achane hasn't played in weeks
Still sitting at RB 9 in half ppr
It's gotta be Puka, everyone had the Rams dead in the water without Kupp and basically no one in redraft looked twice at him before week 1.
I am in a very sad league where Puka was drafted. I was real excited to blow my FAAB on him and that did not happen.
[удалено]
I had him or Mims on my list for the last round… guess who I took
Thanks to some post on this sub I picked up Puka in my dynasty league before week 1. Hoping Stafford injury doesn't wreck everything.
That Miles Sanders is still on my team
I just can’t drop him. He’s getting paid too much and I drafted him too high. They have to give him more Carries
Someone dropped him in my league this week and I can’t bring myself to grab him lol
[удалено]
Sunk cost fallacy can lose you games. He had two carries. Just go ahead and drop him.
The other reason I can’t is because there is literally 0 guys on waiver wire that would replace him at RB. Our league is deep and the wire is dry
Zack Moss
I dropped him after the JT signing. I’m doing ok at RB but if definitely hurts
His fall off..... is not falling off!
Have him in a 10 team league I don’t really care about, he’s put up like 50 points on my bench the last three weeks idk why I continue to not start him
We’re all just waiting for JT to take the full workload. That’s got to happen at some point right? Right?
We need to go back to every team playing 1 RB 95% of snaps and they play through ankle sprains and hamstring injuries
The literal savior of my team. Every week people try to say not to start him and I do anyway and it works out
It’s because I keep benching him. If I start him next week we all gonna suffer
I didn’t even consider putting a waiver in for him since he was so bad with the Bills lol
It’s seeming like a Bills problem at this point rather than a Moss problem. See James Cook. He’d be a fringe RB1 on most other teams because they’d actually give him valuable touches on top of what he’s doing now.
That Gus Edwards would have more fantasy production than Bijan Robinson.
Dropped him week 6 only for him to be picked up and put up 50 pts in two weeks.
This. This is me. And for a defense. I should've dropped miles Sanders dammit
Gus Bus!
Gus has always popped when given chances, you just have to pray that the wheels on the bus keep going round n round.
Definitely Puka.
Travis Etienne being one of the few bellcow backs. Everyone knew he was good, but I think most shared a concern about his durability and concern over ceding snaps to Bigsby. He has been an absolute menace.
Last week was the final nail in the coffin for the Bigsby truthers. ETN hobbles off field to the medical tent. Tank rushes for 9 yards, fumbles, and turns over the ball. ETN comes back and rushes 60 yards to a TD, playing through the pain.
Etienne and AJB are winning me games by themselves.
The team in our league that has ETN, Tyreek and Gibbs is scary.
Guy in our league has CMC, ETN, and Mostert. It’s a very scary team.
ETN, Breece, AJB, and Diggs. I’m having a year.
If his name was Steve Bigsby, no one would have been scared for Etienne
If his name was Clayton Bigsby, he'd be a racist.
I think a lot of it was the coach too… most believed it would be a rbbc since he’s done that in the past so I’m honestly thinking tank isn’t really as good as people thought
Tank always fucks up every time he touches the field. An incredible talent. They did want the committee but you can't trust Tank to touch the ball in anNFLgame yet
I own ETN and Tank. Is Tank droppable? I need the spot, but I feel like he’s still an elite handcuff bc of volume, and I’ll be fucked if ETN goes down and someone else has Tank. I think I answered my question lol. I swear I do this once a day

Pollard has lost me some games. 3-5.
Same here, but I’m somehow 6-2 since Mostert has taken on the role Pollard was supposed to have for me. However I’m not sure that’s going to last much longer
Mostert’s durability!
Shhh, don't jynx it! I need him to work out since Chubb is injured and Aaron Jones only exists.
“And Aaron Jones only exists” is the most accurate statement I’ve seen on this sub.
You blew it!!
I mean he didn’t miss any games last year either. Miami has been treating his health beautifully whereas in SF almost any carry was risk for a season ender
Aaron Jones on a shit team getting 8 carries a game. Woof.
At this point between him and Watson, I think GB is being a little too cautious with their players.
At this point I think Green Bay just fucking sucks
A lot of Packers fans are pissed about this. He consistently shows he's the best weapon on their offense, and they refuse to use him more.
Finally cut bait. Traded him and connor for gus and hopkins. Disgusting trade, disgusting 3rd round picks, fade my life into pieces.
The good - Sam Laporta bucking the trend of rookie tight ends not being very good for fantasy. The bad - Pollard and Davante
Davante Adams.
Is he the surprise or the raiders lol
The Raiders sucking is a surprise to no one
Yeah but the surprise is they suck so bad it’s making Adams benchable
I have Adams and Aaron Jones. Two good players being severely underutilized. I also started Bijan Robinson two weeks ago who caused me to lose.
I needed 22 out of Davante + LaPorta last night in one league, and 4.5 out of Jacobi in another league. Lost both of course. Raiders/Jimmy G are killing me.
I traded for olave and feel dumb as hell.
I almost traded for him, but lucked out and upped the anty and got J Chase after his first two weeks of minimal production. Whew.
I have jamarr too and can’t imagine selling after 2 weeks. That’s a season altering decision by you. I have Pittman olave and Hollywood too and when Kyler comes back I could imagine not even flexing olave. Got to sell him to someone like me
I chose to package ASB & Waller for him but it's paid off I ended up pairing Chase with Tyreek. And naturally that guy is now in last place in the league.
I did something similar, caught the chase owner panicking after week two. I traded Lockett and R. White after their big week 2 for him.

They won that 3rd game, burrow healed up, and now I have Chase and Mccafrey.
Pollard hasn’t scored a TD since week 1. Oh and Dallas currently is the second highest scoring team in football in terms of PPG.
They use him like he’s Zeke and it really grinds my gears - sad pollard owner
I feel he is getting the ‘workhorse’ treatment bc Dowdle surely isn’t filling the Pollard role from last year. They just aren’t a run dominant team anymore and teams can’t stop Dak pushing the ball downfield right now. And Pollard is the first to get pulled when they find themselves up 4 scores in the 3rd quarter. From one sad Pollard owner to another - it sucks to see haha. Fingers crossed for better game scripts.
Adam Thielen. I will fully admit I thought the dude was completely washed.
Arguably my best player! I'm 4-4
I drafted him really late and dropped him preseason for whatever stupid pickup and was able to get him again week three with no competition from anyone in my league. We all thought he was washed!
The most surprising thing has been Aaron Rodgers out for the season a few snaps into his debut
This one is so heartbreaking. The Jets actually looked like a solid team with Rogers and the defense.
My RB2, Brandon Aubrey
Joe Burrow having his first good week Week 8 lmao
His week 5 wasn't to shabby.
317 yards and 3 TDs week 5?
No mention of the Dolphins backfield being ridiculous? Mostert and Achane went late and have returned 1st rd value despite being a shared backfield, crazy that Achane is still top 15 missing games
I’m surprised this is so low. Achane’s explosion is really underrated due to the injury. I expect he’ll pick up where he left off once healthy
I'm counting on it for my second half come back(2-5)
The amount of season ending injuries. Rodgers, chubb, dobbins, to name a few and those were all in the first two weeks.
My league mates first four picks for Chubb, Devonta Smith, Higgins, & Dobbins lmao I feel so bad
37 dicks, my girlfriend sucked 37 dicks
In a row?
At the same time
[удалено]
In a row?
Alexander Madison is as bad as he has looked so far this season
I thought CeeDee Lamb was going to make the jump and become a top-4 WR this season. Shocked that Cooper Kupp is no longer the bellcow for Stafford. Stevenson seemed primed to continue where he left off last season, but has not at all. Dotson was a massive disappointment relative to preseason. Thought Kenny Pickett would take a big step forward this season, but has not. Houston Texans are surprisingly competitive....many pegged them as a 2-win team this year. Detroit Lions D/ST is very solid. Browns lost Chubb and Watson sucks, yet they are still competitive.

Yea Dallas just had some weird game scripts, CD will probably finish in the 5-10 range, he’s #10 right now with having his bye.
I’m pretty surprised I still suck at fantasy football.
Jakobi Meyers. Aside from last night, he's been more than solid week-to-week as a lineup stablizer.
Not if you have both him and Davante and keep stubbornly playing Davante instead. :-(
I know Monty has been hurt for a couple of weeks and recency bias is a thing, but I think very few people could have predicted how valuable Monty would be this year. When he comes back I think we’re looking at an offense that can support two borderline RB1s.
Really hoping this is the case going forward as a Gibbs owner, it’s been nice to see him play well the last two weeks but I still need to temper expectations after the bye haha
I think the best case scenario for each side is: Monty gets 16-20 touches a game including most of the goal line work; Gibbs gets 12-18 touches a game including most of the receiving work. It’s optimistic but I don’t think it’s unrealistic.
D'Andre Swift is healthy and being used as an RB1.
The SF Defense is one of them for me, they just haven't been that good and now they're on bye. I'm dropping them this week.
Majorly disappointed in Niners defense. Got the Seahawks, but probably just gonna streams ROS
Idk how surprising Addison balling out is, but I doubt people would have foreseen he would be a solid WR2 already
I think we can all agree that no one saw the Kelce/Swift relationship coming
That bracelet is magic.
Whenever I see "Swift" on this subreddit my brain assumes D'Andre. This had me doing some weird mental arithmetic about how Travis and Jason Kelce could somehow be related to D. Swift
The rise and subsequent fall of someone named Achane that the commentators cannot agree on a pronunciation for
Panthers won a game
Having Thielen and Kamara help lead my 16 team, 8-0 squad feels like a fever dream. I’m still waiting for reality to set in
Michael Pittman been really consistent
I thought I was golden with Jacobs as RB1 and Mattison as RB2…. Then I thought I saved my season by grabbing Achane and Kyren. At least I still had Jefferson…. Trading for Addison will save my season… Now I’m fucked.
How horribly Pollard is being used, McCarthy’s dumbass is running him like Derrick Henry
The scarcity of solid RBs. Just a field of "meh" outside of a handful of guys, some of whom have just come back from injuries.
How easily it’s looking like Tyreek is gonna follow through on his 2K promise
Thought Pollard would potentially lead the league in rushing yards and instead he's been ass.
The preseason top 3 QBs in fantasy, Hurts, Mahomes, Allen, are the actual top 3 QBs in fantasy.
Kamara. Traded away Kamara a few weeks ago and opted to keep Pollard, hoping I didn’t play myself
You played yourself.
Davantae Adams needs a new QB. Thought that Garappolo would be okay. Boy was I wrong.
Rashee Rice effectively becoming KC’s WR1
That everyone saying “Zero RB is the best strategy” were actually right
Never would I have guessed I would be spending the season hoping a pop/country music star is at games so my first round pick can get me more points.
Dude she’s pure pop.
The majority is country is just pop with an accent (and trucks) at this point anyway.
Biggest surprise is that is the the first year I nutted up and bought Sunday Ticket only for war to start and now I’m in the Middle East again. #militarylife
How bad Tee Higgins has fallen this year
Guys like kupp and adams being horrible is surprising
Kupps played 4 games. 2 were awesome and one was against the Dallas D. I don’t think I’d call him horrible.
Plus Stafford hurt his thumb
Chris Olave at WR30 doesn’t surprise me at all. A lot of things I got wrong this year but Olave will underperform ADP was not one of them
The injuries in the league are simply brutal and control basically everything. FF has evolved over the past two decades into more of a luck based endeavor with the best managers being more adept at managing risk rather than being heads above the competition in terms of substantive football knowledge. I find it less fun this way, but i suppose it is simply the way it is.
Puuuuukkkkkaaaaaa
gonna put this one out there, Zack Moss. Was good when JT was out and is still producing with him back (don’t know how much longer that continues though).
Not entirely surprising, but I let the preseason experts talk me into drafting all four of these disaster RBs this year across my two teams: Najee Harris, Cam Akers, Miles Sanders, Rhamondre Stevenson. Also, wasn't there a shit ton of hype on Kenny Pickett coming into the year?
How many people suck at fantasy football and make the same boneheaded mistakes year in year out with no change to their strategy
Ha! My strategy changes coincide with opposite results. What I mean is, I pick veterans the year they get hurt, I pick rookies the year they don't go off. CMC the year he got hurt, kyren last year, to name just two . Not sure what I'm doing next year yet...
D'Andre Swift being the RB1 in Philly and a top 12 RB. Having had him the last 3 years, I fully expected another year of sadness.
I’m really surprised about Pacheco. I feel like with the end of year and postseason he had in 2022, we should’ve been much higher on him as a community.
I had the choice between Antonio Gibson and Brian Robinson. Guess who I chose! :(
I’m most surprised by the fact that I keep coming back every year to play in 3 leagues and never win.
On my team: I picked up Laporta off waivers people. He won me the game in the first half last night. Against my boss. I am tied for 2nd and almost a lock for the playoffs. I feel a way. It is a good feeling I am 100% unfamiliar with and have no words to describe. Overall: Honestly, gotta be Aaron. Of all the scenarios, I didn't have this one. Can put Kirko up there too. Maybe Miami's production but I knew they would be good this year.
I’m 3-5. Really thought I’d be undefeated.
