I have lost 2 games by a combined 7 points. 4-2 so far. 2nd place. Most points scored by far in the league.

Just destroying my league. My Kirk Cousins/Big Ben combo at QB is just enough to be serviceable. But my grouping of Barkley/Hunt/Tyreek/JuJu has been great all year.

Got Da Bears on D. And they've been good enough. Drafted Houston, but they've been pretty trash so far.

[pdub]

Not sure how you got both Barkley and Hunt without a trade but kudos.

Hunt was gone in both my leagues before pick 10.

[NewtonHawk11]

Hunt was 14th pick. Saquan was 7th. Hill was 27th pick.

Hunt and Hill were really good to me last night. As long as Saquan gets me about 5-10 points, I should easily win. Opponent has OBJ and Engram for the Giants. But they're projected points are below my current points right now.

[pdub]

Freeman. Fournette. Engram. Eifert.
Now Hyde is traded to Jax leaving TJ Yeldon irrelevant.
Great things happening for me this season.

Add Sony Michel to the list.

Making a play for LeVeon Bell.
Owner is 1-6.
Might as well try.

I'm sending Drew Brees and Frank Gore for Bell and Dak Prescott.

[NewtonHawk11]

Getting rid of Brees is bold considering Dak sucks and Bell may not play much before playoffs start.

I tried to get a Mark Ingram and Doug Baldwin from a guy for Kerryon Johnson and Marvin Jones, both from Detroit about 2 weeks back. He was 1-4 or something like that. He rejected it quick. Bet he wishes he had Johnson now.

But still my team is the most loaded team of the whole league. It's literally a tough choice every week to determine who to play. Most points scored by almost 100 points. But had 2 mediocre weeks where I got beat by slim margins.

QB - Cousins, Big Ben
RB - Barkley, Hunt, K Johnson, C. Carson
WR - Hill, JuJu, Edelman, M Jones, Cooks
TE - Graham, Ebron
Def - Bears
K - McManus

[pdub]

It is bold for sure.
I have Mahomes so Dak would still be a decent backup.
Bell, if he played, would at worst be a good FLEX.

[pdub]

He accepted.
Fingers crossed LeVeon plays this season.

Same situation on other team ( my two teams had Mahomes and a good no. 1 QB ).

Have Mahomes and Aaron Rodgers.
WR's are Julio Jones, AJ Green, Julian Edelman, John Brown.

Would you trade Julian Edelman and Aaron Rodgers for Michael Thomas and Ryan Fitzpatrick ( well knowing Fitz could loose his job at any moment )?

Hell no. I mean, Michael Thomas is good, but Edelman is Brady's #1 and Rodgers is a top 3 fantasy QB.

[pdub]

But I have Mahomes and Rodgers is actually statistically only top 12 right now.

[Cascadia]

Trade Rodgers and Edelman for a premium RB or Kelce

[pdub]

I can’t get Kelce.
I have oj Howard which is meh.
I have Conner, Michel, Fournette, Chubb and Ingram.
No one great but ok.

The ask is: Rodgers for Thomas right?

[jgmaine]

Rodgers sucke

Bears defense with 2 TD, 2 picks, a fumble recovery, and pitching a shut out in the first half.
I like points!

I picked up the Bears defense after week 1. Originally drafted the Texans defense. Will ride with Bears rest of the year. Toughest game remaining is Rams game, and the Packers will have some success. But the Bears like turnovers and sacks. And that gets all the fantasy points.

Made the trade.
Really need AJ Green to just be out for 2-3 games and not the season.

[pdub]

He accepted.
Fingers crossed LeVeon plays this season.

Oops.

[pdub]

One game left.
In 3rd place - can't get 2nd place.
Playing guy in 5th place. He has clinched a spot in the playoffs.
Guys in 6th and 7th are playing each other - the winner will be the 6th seed.

If I win, i'd play the 6th seed - and both those teams have 200+ more points than the guy in 5th.
The guy likely to be the 6th seed has Goff, Gurley, Mixon, Michel, Evans. Blow up potential.
Additionally the guy in 5th has lost a few players to injury and is playing QB's off the waiver wire.

If I lose, i'd be the 4th seed replaying the 5th seed immediately.
And the 1st seed is not as good a team as the 2nd seed.

TLDR: If I win, I'll play a tougher team in the 1st week of the playoffs. If I lose, I'll play an easier team.

Question then is - do I play my bench players this week?

[NewtonHawk11]

I have an odd feeling on benching fantasy. Like really weird, but if you feel like the path to a finals is easier as a 4 compared to a 3 seed, then go for it..

Had my B team this week. Most points I've scored all year. No Hill, Hunt or Cooks. Sat Big Ben.

Cousins
Carson
Barkley
JuJu
Edelman
Sanu
Ebron

In 2nd place by a game, behind 1st by a game. But have most points scored by quite a bit. Top 4 teams make the playoffs. The top 4 are all locked into playoffs. Just about seeding now. I want that 1 seed as the guy in 4th is really bad, has just gotten lucky by other teams not scoring high. The guy in 3rd has the second most points behind me. 1678-1586.

Both I and the guy in 1st will likely win this week. And our last matchup before the playoffs is him against me. He beat me in week 5, but I had some bad luck with a bad defensive matchup and Cooks got a concussion in first quarter. Completely changed the matchup. But I think I beat him next week and get the 1 seed due to points scored.
