6 of my first 8 picks will have spent at least 2 games ( i'm counting the Adams game @ KC bc his QB was poop - many of them more than half the season ) injured.
If I get into the playoffs with that kind of luck, ya'll should be ashamed.

It would indeed be impressive it you make the playoffs with that bad luck.
I may miraculously make the playoffs despite having the most points scored against me and trading away many of my best players.

So far the players you have traded me have gotten me big fat 0s.

That is one way to look at it. Another way is you were in 3rd place with three weeks left and basically the only way you going to miss the playoffs is you go 0-3 and lose the tiebreaker. So if you do not make the playoffs?

"So if you do not make the playoffs?"
Unlucky - with 6 of my first 8 picks spending significant time injured.
( including my loss this week - loosing Waller in the 1st half and then loosing the game by 3 )

LOL
You lost to the last place team who lost it's first pick again to IR during the game. Who Waller outscored 4.3 to 3.5. That last place team who's #1 WR lost his QB in week one and has way under produced. That last place team who only has 4 of his original 8 draft picks including the two we just talked about. But I agree I would be a little salty if I lost to that guy.

Your 1st 8 picks:

CMC ( this one is definitely rough ).
Najee ( great pick - healthy all season ).
Scary Terry ( healthy ).
Pitts ( healthy ).
Lamb ( missed one game? )
Damien Harris ( missed one game )
Higgins ( missed 2 games )
Claypool ( missed 2 games )

Your first 8 have missed 11 games.
Mine, 24 ( 28 if you count the players I just trade for - expecting both would play the last 2 weeks ).
Not really comparable.

We have had a conversation about my draft. How I had no cheat sheet basically was at a work event and did my draft on my phone all cause I had no clue I was even playing. There are only 4 listed that actually spent anytime on my team. Pitts, Damien, Higgins and Claypool all were sent packing quickly. The crazy thing is I had about 30 minutes before the draft to think about it. There were two for sure things I wanted. Stafford as my QB figuring the move to the Rams would be so good for him and nobody would want him and Scary Terry. Thought for sure with Fitzmagic as his QB he would be insane.

Well, generally, as I've said before, I think FF is more luck than skill.
It's why someone who auto drafts and then just maintains their team, subbing players in and out, can win a league. There's a dude in my long standing league who has won 3 times and just trusts Yahoo!'s projections more than his own...he just hit big those 3 seasons. It's also why someone who is 2nd in PF ( my BUD ) happens to be in 6th place right now with a loosing record.

Pitts was supposed to pan out and he lost Ridley to take pressure off him so he kinda busted.
Claypool suffered from Big Ben's arm and the bad o line.
Higgins was supposed to be a stud but Jamar Chase exploded.

No one knows these things before they draft - they just roll the die and hope. In your case, your guys didn't pan out. In my case, my guys got injured.

In my other league, the guy in 1st just landed big on his picks with Jonathan Taylor, Kelce, Fournette, Kupp and Deebo - so he hasn't had to do much to keep his team winning.

If I could have traded the Owner/GM, I would have.

Gutter is so much fun. Week one Gutter is on top of the world. Loses week two and by week four his team is JUNK. Threatens fire sale, has fire sale trades everybody. Now his team is on fire.

My turds have lost 5 in a row. And another big injury with the loss of Dalvin Cook.

I don't think I can make the playoffs in both my leagues.
The guys doyel has are many of the same guys I need to do well in my other league.

So if Mattison, Hopkins and the Rams go off and Kamara poops the bed, i'll lock a spot in one but not the other.

Good to see that, while it has gotten whiter, your hairline is holding up Gutter.
