How’s everyones start to their Fantasy Football season

I’m off to my usual poor start. I’m currently at o-2. A little poor luck in that I would have beat 7 of the 9 other teams week 1 and would have beat 8 of the 9 other teams week 2. Just a little unlucky in that I ended up playing the top scorers of the week. A few of my top picks also seem to be a little underperforming as well. I was # 2 on the waiver list this week and of course the guy who was #1 picked up Jerome Ford who I wanted. I ended up picking up Zack Moss. Need to get more out of my Def, Kicker, and TE. Those positions have really hurt me these first few weeks. Hope your seasons are going better than mine so far !!!

2-0 with the most points scored and on my way to defending the title

…but I drafted Chubb and Dobbins, so I am about to be SOL in a 16 team league.

Ouch !!! The loss of those 2 are going to be tough to replace.

I lost both Dobbins and Barkley in my Guillotine league. Hopefully I can keep surviving till Barkley comes back.

Great week 1, thanks to Jones and Ekeler.
Horrible week 2, thanks to no Jones and Ekeler.

2-0… projected to finish 2nd for season. Its early.. avg 109 in ESPN

I have some fantasies, but they don’t involve football.

Not sure if you use the same scoring as we do on ESPN or not. I scored 111 week 1 and 131 week 2 and lost both weeks. just the luck of who you play and when you play them.

2-0 but lost JK, Chubb and now Montgomery for a bit

Ya. I have Montgomery as well. Him going down last week probably cost me the win last week.

12 team league. I’m feeling pretty dang good considering I had Kupp and Dobbins.

QB Tua Tagovailoa
RB Kyren Williams
RB Brian Robinson Jr
WR CeeDee Lamb
WR Deebo Samuel
TE Mark Andrews
Flex Puka Nacua
D Patriots
K J. Moody

Bench:
Cooper Kupp (IR)
Zay Flowers
Breece Hall
Jaylen Warren
Justice Hill

I think our scoring is rather conservative.

1-1 but leading the league in scoring after two weeks. Just traded for Hockenson with a couple bench players in Addison and Rashaad White. So now I have Cousins, Stevenson, Connors, T Hill, D Adams, C Ridley/Puka Nakua for FLX and Hockenson. I’m pretty happy with where I’m sitting.

I’ve also not been chopped yet in my Guillotine League and at top of that league in scoring.

I am 1-1. Did better in week 1 than in week 2, could have won or lost either week. Barkley getting hurt is not going to help me, but it looks as if its not very serious. My scoring is similar to what Big G posted with ESPN. It is standard scoring (non PPR) although we do not have decimals, just whole numbers. 75 or 80 points is average, 90 is good, 100+ is really good. 130 is almost unheard of.

The list of free agents in my league is a scrap pile. There’s really not anyone to pick up unless someone gets hurt (like Nick Chubb). I also heard that the Browns are signing Kareem Hunt to a 1 year deal.

We switched to a PPR scoring system this year. About the same as Big G posted except add 1 pt. For each reception. It really changes how you look at RB’s. I think I like the PPR scoring system better than the non PPR one we used the last few years

3-1 overall between 2 leagues and #1 in points in my auction league that ended up pretty Viking heavy, and #2 in points in the snake draft league. Only minor injuries thus far (knocking on wood while typing that)

its rough in my G league.

lost Dobbins week 1
lost Richardson this week

My starting QB this week will be the Red Rifle
Craig Reynolds and Dalvin at RB

I nailed it at receiver so far so that may keep me afloat another week I hope?

I have been frugal with my FAAB waiting for a worthy player to splash the pot. It might be next week or not?

Never seen this many injuries this early…..WTF

since you brought it up lets discuss.

its almost a Friday night discussion topic

Well I got a nice win last week. I was the high score for the week. Got 25 out of Mahomes, 23 out of Zack Moss, 28 out of Jefferson, 25 out of Samuel, and 32 out of Buffalos Def. Had 180 points overall.

Not off to a great start this week. Major coaching mistake last night. Left Montgomery and his 34 points on the bench – Ouch. He was questionable all week right up till game time. He was the lowest projections of my RB’s. Both Mixon and Moss were projected higher. Even Pittman Jr. my Flex player was projected higher. The good news is because Montgomery had such a good night it limited Gibbs usage and that was one of my opponents RB’s. He only got 9 out of him. Sure wish they used Montgomery more in the pass game.

I’m 2-1 with the most points scored in the 16 team league heading into this week.

I lost Chubb and Dobbins to injury which will ultimately sink my season, but Mostert has helped to delay the inevitable.

It was awkward rooting for the Lions to pile on last night against the Packers, as I was playing against the GB defense AND had $50 on the Lions at -1.5

5-1 overall (3-0 and 1st in points, and 2-1 3rd in points). Unfortunately I also left Montgomery on my bench, but in my other league my opponent did too, so call that a wash. Thursday nights are always such a crapshoot, and as a general rule I don’t start guys if I have a similar Sunday option, and especially if they are coming off injury. 10% of the time it’s a night like Monty had, 90% of the time it’s Christian Watson’s night but usually without the TD.

Bummer to hear that, But its good to know people who are probably way better at this FF thing than me also made the same decision.

Yep the coaching blunder is going to cost me a win this week. Had Maholmes not done the right thing by sliding down on the 1 yard line. I would have at least had a chance for a win. Right now I’m up by 3.5 points but my opponent has Waller going tonight. Unless he gets hurt during warm up, or early in the game, my chance of a win is not good. Debo also scoring almost nothing also really hurt. I went back and forth with putting him in the lineup or not. Another coaching mistake. Most likely 1-3 after tonight. 3 guys will be tied at 3-1 at the top and 2 guys at 0-4 so it’s still anyone’s chance to win. Lots of football remaining.

Took an 0fer this weekend, beat pretty straight up in one league. In the other I had Pacheco and Montgomery on the bench, which was bad enough, but then injury to insult Javonte Williams, Devante Adams and Tee Higgins went out early. Thankfully Devante came back, and Javonte will be back soon. Higgins cracked a rib so he might be heading to the IR for a 4 weeks, or missing a couple weeks at least.

I’m 1-3 after four weeks of complete insanity. I have scored the most points in the league, lost last week 171-164 to the last place team who’s terrible roster absolutely hit on all cylinders. This week, Cousins, Hock and both my rbs had single digit performances. Not good. I’m still confident with my roster I will be in good shape. My RB’s are average but have gone up against top 5 defenses almost every week so far.

Would’ve won though, if Davante Adams TD catch would’ve been reviewed……

Ya that was a shame. The guy I was playing texted and said Adam was out and had almost no points. When I had a chance I looked and here he had almost 15 points. I said how is 15 points almost nothing

I couldn’t believe they didn’t challenge that, I thought it was pretty clear in live time and review showed it easily. Would have saved them some important time on the clock too, but McDaniels just seems grossly overmatched in almost all areas as a HC.

McCaffrey had a monster day yesterday. He had 177 total yards and 4 touch downs. It was almost 50 points in my league.

I am at 3-1… just beat a 3-0 team…Henry paying off as is Hurts and Philly’s Kicker Elliot !!!
