I drafted 4th in my fantasy league. I took Puka #1 after the top running backs were taken (like Gibbs and B. Robinson and Barkley). But I had targeted Kenneth Walker as my #1 RB, and got him in the 2nd round and by luck, Derrick Henry was available on my 3rd pick. I'm in first place after 2 weeks.

I'd imagine so...

Drake Maye has cost me a win in one league and hurt me in another (1-1 b/c Kenneth Walker is the return of Marshall Faulk).

Dude is sucking a$$.

Benched him in the one league in favor of the new-and-improved Mahomes and have had it suggested to start Kyler over him in the other. Can't trust that guy...looking like Bryce Young it is!

With both my QBs going down in week 2 (Jayden Daniels and Jaxon Dart) I had to hit the waiver wire and picked up Bryce Young and Tyler Shough. Based on the numbers and matchups I was leaning towards starting Bryce Young but all the fantasy “experts” have Shough ranked higher. What am I missing?

Ugh, tempting me with starting Corum.

That’s a coin flip for me. Both have been solid fantasy QBs and both playing defenses that are ok but not great. I guess Shough is at home so maybe that’s worth something. I think I’d lean towards Young too but barely.

Well, Henderson was the wrong call lol. Patriots offense has been useless this season.

Good thread. I'm only winning in some random FF league because of Stafford, DA17 and Kyren 23 and a few others. It's actually hilarious. I miss the old days of co workers where we actually knew the league and talked in person every Monday or Tuesday morning. The League was a dope AF funny show, too.

Ok, this week who do I start? Josh Allen.... or.... Matthew Stafford lol?

The easy answer is Allen as he is a basic must start every week generally. But our defense is playing lights out lately and the Bills defense kinda sucks. I just have a feeling Stafford exorcises some demons this week.

Bench Drake Maye last week and he has his best game of the season, bench Ebuka tonight and he does the same

My fantasy leagues uses Yahoo. But the league changed to this weird scoring system this season when every pass or every carry gets you points. So if you have a running back for example, and that back carries the ball for a 5 yard loss, you get 0 points. .5 points for the carry, and minus .5 points for the loss of 5 yards for a zero. Somehow that seems wrong where you get zero for a 5 yard loss. And the same goes for QBs. So what was very average QBs are putting up ridiculous points. For example today, the Lions destroyed the Cardinals 38-14. Goff had something like 70 points in my league, but Jacoby Brissett for the losing Cardinals had like 89 points.

I'm still unbeaten in our league but that's because I have Kenneth Walker, Derrick Henry and my WR/RB/TE option is Chupa Hubbard for the Panthers. Feature backs get the most points because you gain points for touches. Thus Kyren Williams is great when he scores TDs but not so great when he doesn't because he splits touches with Corum.

I have Puka... picked up CJ Daniels. I believe in another late round miracle WR!!!!!

In my league, I have Puka. Had to put him on IR. I claimed CJ Daniel’s today and am torn on him or Mumpfield. Hope Daniel’s eats on Sunday against the Cards

 

[jacktheripper85]

I had Puka too. Should I pick up CJ or TuTu?

Kind of a guessing game at this point. Could make a case for all three as a possibility... Tutu has the big play potential but that has rarely translated, Mumpfield had a good game against Broncos when Puka was out but has looked bad every other game, and CJ is a complete unknown but has big catch radius which is good with Stafford plus showed out in preseason. I'm betting on Daniels for fantasy but I'm not confident enough to bet real money lol.
