TTH NFL Fantasy Football 2017 thread

[Gray Fox]

3-0 so far with only standard TTH left.

The Plebbing I received on Thursday has been recovered to an outside chance. I'm 45 points down with Mahomes, Hill and Sanders to play against his Kelce. I'm projected to catch within 5 points of him. But I need a big day from one of my 3 to stand a chance here.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

2-3 this week. Thursday game hurt me a lot along with crap QBs.

Main League, Won 280.07 - 279.38, 4-0, 1st Place

Remember how I said I should bench Sammy Watkins but I wasn't out of stat correction range.... yea... that didn't really work out did it? Watkins scores a big fat 0.00 to leave us still in danger of a correction but hopefully not. We remain top with the 2nd placed team (3-1) having scored 3 points more than us on the season (ironically we beat them on a stat correction...) and the 4th placed team (2-2) being only 10 points behind, but everyone else being a fair way back (Fay's team in 3rd are 3-1 despite scoring 204 less than me). We were actually the 2nd and 3rd highest scorers this week, with the team in 4th racking up 288.59. It's looking like a 3 horse race with Fay just being along for the ride.

TTH Dynasty, Won 154.42 - 154.30, 2-2, 5th Place

Fuck.... me. Another win by less than 1 point, barring corrections. Like the above league, this was a roller coaster match. Mid way through the Saints/Giants game I was confident we had won as Manning was only throwing to Sterling it seemed and Kamara wasn't doing enough, and then he explodes out of nowhere to all but kill us off. John Brown (my best draft pick by a mile) came through big again and then it was left in range for Kelce to drag us back, though it didn't look likely towards the end of the 3rd when he had 1 fucking catch. Joe remains the top scorer and top of the pile, but only Pleb and Sam (in 10th place for fuck sake) have outscored me otherwise. That's shocking to me considering I've had absolutely no output from my RBs this season. Lucky me getting to start 4 of them against Dan this week, barring a trade or something. Or maybe I'll take a punt on DJ Moore... who knows. Either way, I expect Dan to demolish us, so we need this win to hold.

TTH Standard, Won 131.16 - 92.98, 3-1, 4th Place

Wasn't much interested in this one, I feel like Dynasty is the format for me now. Still being a game ahead of Mahow with his almost cheating keeper players is :drool: and we get Ingram back now and Bell in a couple of weeks? Could be worse.

Original Dynasty, Won 203.99 - 189.18, 3-1, 2nd Place

Despite starting Leonard Fournette who proceeded to die on us, we pick up a win over the team we beat for the Super Bowl last year, with Mahomes starring for us yet again. Remind me why I traded my 1st round pick for Russell Wilson? Oh well, I actually don't regret it, given that that pick would have either been Ronald Jones or Calvin Ridley (who I ended up getting in the 2nd). I'm never benching Ridley again, and Ingram returns here too (and again, hopefully Bell) so we're looking good. Our main rivals lost too by 0.46 points to Fay due to the last second TD to Hunt. He's still comfortably outscored me on the season, but is within reach now.

I lost in both other leagues, but I really don't care about those.

[Dan]

Yeah, I think I’m going to cut a few spots from the dynasty league next season. There’s just nothing at all on the waiver wire.

Dan's Dynasty
Gray Fox (4-0) 1st
Dan (3-1) 4th
Mahow (2-2) 5th

Can anyone stop Gray Fox in this league? He's running away with it. I got Dan week six (got Staff this week whose 3 and 1) so that's my fantasy season over in this league then #numberonedraftpickconfirmed

[Browning]

I feel like TTH Dynasty is so tight compared to most of my other leagues, maybe because my team isn't as good relevant to my opponents, but still. I'm with Dan on it being frustrating how little is on the waiver wire, but I'm undecided if that is an issue or not. It should prompt teams to trade to cover their weakness, but so far none of my trade negotiations have gone very far (granted I only attempted to trade with 2-3 people).

[Dan]

Yeah, I’m probably only going to drop 2-3 spots. Don’t want to go too far the other way.

[Gray Fox]

Getting Ingram back to use against Dan is fitting. I'm also buying in on the Titans D this week. Hopefully they don't let me down.

[Dan]

Just done the week 4 pick'em results. Don't look, Sir Andy Mahowry.

- Pleb didn't have a great week. 8pts, let's just leave it there.

- Limoutsonik was next. Solid score on the picks (11), and another 5 for Kelce, but just missed out on Baker points, so 16pts it is.

- Gray Fox was fourth, having also scored 11 on the picks. Baker made the difference though, with 6pts being enough to leapfrog Limoutsonik & finish on 17pts

- BIG jump to the top three. thommo finishes third. Only nine on the picks, but Kamara & AB (lol) netted a further 15 & a good Baker prediction meant a final score of 30pts

- Second again, 'how :D Did the best on the picks (13) and nailed Baker's score, as well as getting an extra 15 points for Kamara & Rivers, but even 38pts wasn't enough to win this week.

- I had a good week this week. 11 on the picks, and another 7 on Baker, but I got both Kamara & Green Bay as the overall top scorers, as well as another 5 for Kelce, meaning I finished with a massive 43pts :cool:

---
Baz is definitely a daily fantasy guy. He won the week by more than 20pts, and now has a 15pt lead over Pleb in the overall standings.

---

My underdog only strategy failed at the first hurdle, with Detroit losing to give me my first strike. Everyone else made it through unscathed though, and I'm currently on the Cardinals for this week, so I'm pretty sure I'm going to be first out here :D

---

Get your picks in for TNF - Patriots/Colts - and I'll sort out the week 5 pick'em tomorrow evening.

[Dan]

Overall pick'em scores after four weeks:

Me - 124
Mahow - 123 (lol)
Thommo - 110
Limoutsonik - 88
Gray Fox - 54 (only three weeks of picks)
Pleb - 54 (not only three weeks of picks)

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Not even first in the overalls, fucking hell.

PATRIOTS.

[Limoutsonik]

That's a nice little haul for me so far,Pats win.

[Baz]

Baz is definitely a daily fantasy guy. He won the week by more than 20pts, and now has a 15pt lead over Pleb in the overall standings.Its' great; we should have done it before! I spend about 15 minutes during my dinner to pick my team. I've gone completely off "the system" today, and not picked anyone purely on liking them/wanting them to do well, so could be in for a record week. :cool:

[Browning]

Just to remind everyone in TTH Dynasty about the limit of 2 kickers, 2 DSTs and QBs from 3 franchises. So far 2 people (not from here) have forgotten it but the first one dropped a DST immediately when told. Hopefully Sam will do the same as he just added the Bengals.

[Baz]

Why’d you pick the Colts/Pats game by the way? Like anybody would ever choose Colts. :|

[Gray Fox]

Nobody would ever have chosen the Bills over the Vikings.

[Browning]

Until last week the Pats were shite too.

[thommo]

I'll take the Pats for tonight. Desperately hoping I'm wrong though. I'll come back with the full predictions a little later.

[Baz]

Nobody would ever have chosen the Bills over the Vikings.True true.

[Dan]

Why’d you pick the Colts/Pats game by the way? Like anybody would ever choose Colts. :|

Colts/Patriots is the TNF game, which we always pick separately. If you mean Chiefs/Jaguars, I thought it would be more interesting than Falcons/Steelers since there's an actual clash of the most explosive offence against the best defence, and then the counterbalance of the Jags' offence against the terrible Chiefs defence.

It comes down to whether you think the Chiefs are really real enough to blow away a top two defence in football, and if not whether you think their defence will be able to keep them in it against a team that's been both great & awful on offence already this season.

Much more to think about than 'which team scores a billion, and which scores a billion plus one?'.

EDIT: Oh, and Patriots, of course.

[Gray Fox]

Week 5 time:


TTH - Standard 1-3

This is the league I have most concern about. It's the only one I'm negative in too. I find myself at 1-3 despite being the 2nd top scorer of the league. The full on Plebbing I got in last weeks Thursday game completely turned things around. I face 0-4 Fay here and you'd think a win for me would put him very close to the edge. A win for him could put a massive dent in any play-off hopes.

https://i.gyazo.com/e3da8e0f6a759c4ef142a13c82d4cf95.png


TTH - Dynasty 2-2

Last weeks surprise knock off of Dan brought me back into things. However I face Otherwordler this week who has the dreamcrusher known as Todd Gurley. I do get Freeman back in both of these leagues, but I fear a beating here.

https://i.gyazo.com/1657d59a47b10d48420bef9517b6b7f5.png


Dans Dynasty 4-0

Just as I ended his unbeaten streak in our Dynasty last week, he gets an immediate chance for revenge. I can move 2 games clear of 5th place with a win here, thanks to how the matchups go this week. A win for Dan closes the table right back up.

Worryingly we now have 2 more inactive owners in this league, neither seen in over a month, but hopefully the league stays the course.

https://i.gyazo.com/662d3ac7aaa32be59d97a06f8b284d8f.png


Work League 3-1

After the disastrous week 1 performance things have really turned around. Last week I took out the only remaining undefeated guy and moved to 2nd in the standings. 3rd week running of being the top scorer too. Unfortunately this means I missed both my waiver pickups in Ebron and Titans D(resets in reverse table order every Tuesday). I ended up adding Sanu and the Ravens instead. This annoyingly leaves me with no TE and no one I really want to drop(same situation I face in TTH standard).

https://i.gyazo.com/041c984b0561dbb90c8b4cfb3d6faff0.png

I face the only 0-4 person in the league this week. She benched Keenan Allen and Goff last week, but still lost by less than a point(3rd highest score of the week too). She has actually changed her team since, but has yet to take out D-Jax. Jeffery is her only other option here. Her team is very boom or bust though.
Projections have me smashing her back doors in, even without the TE, but then it said the same about Pleb last week.

I've been actively trying to shop Allen from her, but no deals. The Bell owner has also noted in the league whatsapp group that all but 1 owner has got in touch about Bell, so any hopes of a quick snipe there have gone.
I've also got a waiver in to claim Royce Freeman. He was dropped in the first lot, but I really do not like Drake and I'll have to play somebody during Gordons eventual bye week.
I've been sending Drake out in trades but with him hardly being on the field lately there's nothing doing.

[Dan]

I need to send out more reminders/invites for the inactive teams, but I've been too busy with work to actually take the time to properly look at who needs replacing. I'll see if i get time this weekend, but it's not great to have all these spots that are almost free wins :moop:

[Gray Fox]

I'm just hoping the league doesn't end up having to fold because of it.

I'm obviously taking the Pats tonight by the way.

Ebron :cool: Should help cover when Bortles inevitably shits the bed this week.

[Ian]

Tom Brady has responded really well to me thinking about benching him a couple of weeks ago.

[Pleb]

Shit I'm winning in Dan's Dynasty :eyemouth:

[Browning]

Ebron has killed me off already but at least I started him in my main league and other dynasty. Going all in on DJ Moore now because why the fuck not.

[Gray Fox]

Now doubly annoyed I didn't get Ebron as my first waiver choice in the work league.

[Pleb]

Giving picks and daily a rest this week.

Gives Baz a chance to run away with it in daily fantasy :drool:

[Browning]

Main League (4-0, 1st Place)

This has started really, really well with me picking Luck, Ebron and James White to his Brady and Gronk. This has given me a 98.80 to 57.07 points lead at this stage. Brady won the QB battle by 4 points but Ebron won the TE battle by nearly 20 and White scored more than his highest projected RB by 10 points. What this means is we're currently projected to win 282.91 to 246.77 and extend to 5-0. Our two main rivals in terms of points are also projected to win again this week, with Fay projected to lose to the 2nd place team which would then leave the top 3 points scorers as the top 3 teams.

Original Dynasty (3-1, 2nd Place)

We were big favorites before this started and we started Ebron to his Pats DST which has gone very well with us leading 33.00 to 11.00 against a projected of 12.89-13.48 . This makes it, on paper, even more of a slam dunk, with the current projection being 208.45-143.30. The same guy faced me in my main league last week and we were projected an easy win and wound up winning by less than 1 point, so can't take it for granted yet, but it should be a win.

12 Team Dynasty (2-2, 5th Place)

As normal, Dan has beaten me on Thursday night thanks to one cunt. The only silver lining is me having him in the above 2 leagues. Taken the punt on the Panthers working out how to use DJ Moore during the bye as a direct response to this, but I doubt it matters. Projections seem to hate my team every week at the moment, so we'll have to play better than expected, otherwise our Play Off hunt will be over soon.

TTH Regular (3-1, 4th Place)

Another league where I started Ebron, but this time against James White and the NE DST who has basically cancelled him out. This leaves us as slight favourites, but as it stands, this is our closest match of the 4. If we are able to win, it'll leave us in a very good place in the league, especially as Sam is one of the chasing pack trying to push us out of the Play Off places.

[Dan]

Only two pick’em entries so far?

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

I will be doing mine later.

I am having a long think as I need to come first.

[Browning]

Yahoo has gone mental for some player called J Bostic who allegedly is going to be the top weekly scorer with just over 50 points.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Jon Bostic? He's a linebacker for the Steelers.

[Browning]

Yea that’s him. It’s so random because every other week he’s projected like 8 points.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Rolling the dice with Marquez Valdes-Scantling in Dan's dynasty and THE BEAST Equanimeous St. Brown in TTH dynasty.

I don't think Rodgers has anyone else to throw at this week so it should pay off.

Knowing my luck he'll just throw to Catchy McTarkington and Speed-Floyd Barkevington.

[Browning]

It's all going to Adams all day. That said I would play either of them over DJ Moore.... that's a real roll of the dice.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

I'm hoping Adams is pretty banged up so wont be as effective as usual.

[Browning]

All the matches I actually care about are so fucking dull, with 2 of them seemingly in the books already and Dan having already beaten me based on just 2 players outscoring my entire team.

[Browning]

Fuck off Crowell.

I knew he'd go off if I benched him, but he was so fucking terrible last week I couldn't do it.

[Dan]

Starting Andy Dalton, so of course I called the red zone INT he threw.

I also came close to picking Detroit & Buffalo today, so it’s another great Sunday already.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Fuck off Kenyan Drake.

[Dan]

Mason Crosby with two missed FGs already :)

[Dan]

Mason Crosby with two missed FGs already :)

Well done on your win this week 'how.

[Dan]

Fuck off Kenyan Drake.

On my bench in dynasty this week. It’s okay though, because I started Blake Bortles :thbup:

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

On my bench in dynasty this week :thbup:

I benched him for Chris Thompson.

He's a prick.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Scantling :drool:

[Browning]

Oh fuck off Mixon, I liked you more when you were injured.

My whole team hasn't shown up though, so fuck it. Better to lose like that than lose a close one.

[Baz]

Fuck off Crowell.

I knew he'd go off if I benched him, but he was so fucking terrible last week I couldn't do it.
The boy done good.

[thommo]

I feel a bit sick that I left Robby Anderson on my bench in both TTH leagues.

[Browning]

Don't worry. In my original dynasty league I picked up the Carolina DST because I had a spare space after putting someone on IR and then flipped them within a few hours for Robby Anderson because Fay told me he was planning to cut him for the Panthers DST :drool:

Every time he trades with me, it backfires big time.

[thommo]

He had such an awful start I just had to take him out the lineup, especially the way Darnold has been going recently. Hopefully it wont cost me in my matchups.

[Dan]

Tannehill dragging me back to respectability in TTH via the Bengals DST.

[Limoutsonik]

I am on pace to win 9/9 leagues :D

[Browning]

Thursday night completely killed all 3 of the games I cared about (2 in my favour, 1 against me) which has made this Sunday super fucking boring. I can't even be bothered to keep watching. Thursday Night games should burn in hell.

[Pleb]

Baz is tearing my arsehole apart the mad fucker.

[Gray Fox]

Some of this garbage time yardage is really catching my work league opponent back up to me. So irritating.

[Gray Fox]

Looks like 2 losses in TTH.

Dans Dynasty, 24 points behind. He has Thomas, I have Kamara, Ingram and Lutz.

Work league. I was sitting near 30 points up, but big gains from Kittle and Nelson late on have closer her to within 17 points. She has DeShaun Watson, I have Hopkins.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

TTH - Could go either way. I'm still in it thanks to Crosby and Cooks.

TTH dynasty - I'm 5.48 points down but have Peterson and the Saints DST to play v Crowder.

Dan's dynasty - 20.75 ahead with Peterson and Thompson to play against Brees.

Money league - 23.82 ahead with Fuller and Kamara to play against Brees.

IDP Dynasty - 19.08 points down but I have Kamara, Thomas and Clowney to play against Thompson, Crowder and Fairbairn.

[Baz]

Baz is tearing my arsehole apart the mad fucker.Good innit. :)

[Dan]

TTH - Could go either way. I'm still in it thanks to Crosby and Cooks.

I’m not going to be the guy who complains about a real life injury affecting their fantasy team but Mason Crosby is a turd & I’ve already accepted I’m going to lose by less points than he sliced everywhere but between the posts.

[Gray Fox]

Thanks to Watson only getting 21 points, I needed a mere 5 from Hopkins. He ended up on 13 and by the sounds of his recap could easily have doubled that score. I move to 4-1 and am now the top of our standings.

The end has been confirmed in both TTH now, with an outside chance in Dans Dynasty left. Cooks getting twatted in the head again may well be the difference here.

[Browning]

Main League

As easy a win as they come as we move to 5-0. It shouldn't have been this easy. We had to find some replacement WRs with Crowder being shit and Robinson being on bye so I turned to Mike Williams and Dede Westbrook alongside Marvin Jones... and the 3 combined for less points than his Antonio Brown managed. Despite that we romp to victory behind mainly the Thursday Night trio (Luck, Ebron, White) but also big games from Cam and Gurley and solid outings from Tucker/Succop/Baltimore DST. Despite not starting anyone in the DL spot as we wait for Mack to return, we lead 240.94 to 174.47 with Michael Thomas and Kamara still to play for us Vs Lutz for him. A total bloodbath. Next week we face the only team who would have given us a game this week, and we do so without Thomas/Kamara, so this should be interesting. There are some options out there on Free Agency (no waiver wire in this league...) so I'll have to consider it.

Original Dynasty

Another rather routine win despite my loyalty to Mahomes not paying off as he was easily outscored by both my other QBs. Calvin Ridley also had his first shit game the one week I actually play him. Those 2 along with Cooper were my only misses though as the likes of Hopkins, Adams, Gurley, Yeldon, Ebron and Keenan Allen destroyed my opponent who only really had Watson and Kupp perform well. We lead 206.34 to 152.03 but he is done scoring while I still have Lutz to add a little more gloss to the win.

TTH Dynasty

We got raped. That is all.

TTH Standard

Still in this one but going to need big games from both Chris Thompson and Mark Ingram. It could happen, but I doubt it.

My 2 other leagues have been semi interesting this week, but I still don't care enough. The one where I lead the standings with a 3-1 record is crazy how many players I have starting tonight. We trail 160.15 to 213.22 but he only has Lutz to play Vs my Brees, Thomas, Thompson and Reed. The projections give me a 67% chance of victory, despite Cooks putting up a 0.00 for us. In the other league where I am currently 1-3 somehow despite being the 3rd highest scoring team, we've moved to 2-3 as we lead by half a point but he's done scoring and we still have Thomas, Thompson and Lutz.

[Gray Fox]

Managed to catch within a couple points of Dan. Then came the QB toss to Ingram, 2 mins left, he's running in towards the 10 yard line and.... decided to slide down on his ass so Brees can get an ovation. Bridgewater comes in to kneel it out. I lose by 1.5 points. Lutz also missed an extra point earlier to -2 from my score. Infuriating.

Hopefully there's some wild stat correction in my favour. :moop:

[Dan]

I’m not going to be the guy who complains about a real life injury affecting their fantasy team but Mason Crosby is a turd & I’ve already accepted I’m going to lose by less points than he sliced everywhere but between the posts.

1.7pts :)

[Limoutsonik]

So after last night's game, i did manage 9/9 wins with an average score of 110 points per team. Finally my good players fired on all cylinders and can start to claw my way out of the negative records that some of my teams have.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

I went from a chance at 5-0 to 2-3.

:moop:

[Dan]

You beat me though, so that’s worth a few wins :nodd:

[Browning]

Somehow went 4-1 this week. As it stands I occupy a play off place in every league except TTH Dynasty, which hopefully will resolve when I get to take on the two teams handing out free wins to everyone, and Fay who is somehow up there despite an awful score.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

You beat me though, so that’s worth a few wins :nodd:

I thought I had lost when I saw Kamara did nothing (fuck you Payton).

Thought that was my Fleaflicker one that had lost another team, which panicked me enough to put a quick message up trying to find an owner for the inactive team, so hopefully we’ll get that one solved before next week.

[Browning]

The two in my league aren’t actually inactive but their teams just don’t seem capable of winning right now. Of course that will change when I get to face them.

[Baz]

How is Fay’s team so rubbish? :lol:

[Browning]

Allegedly in for a pretty shitty fantasy week:

Main League (5-0, 1st Place)

Despite being 5-0 and top of the pile, we are projected to get absolutely smashed this week and lose by almost 40 points. Our opponent is the top scorer, having put up 13 points more than us this year but sitting at 3-2 and 3rd place. Even though my team went mental last week and put up 260, he still would have beaten us by about 25 points. He's the form team, and should hand us our first loss. We're missing Kamara, Thomas and Marvin Jones, so it's not shocking we're hurting this week. I also have a dilemma at QB... my head says Cam and Winston should be the 2 that start, but I'll likely roll with Cam and Wilson just because Wilson plays in the UK and I fully expect the Hawks to get the yearly UK 58-0 win over the Raiders. Make me question why I'm flexing Lynch... but oh well.

TTH Dynasty (2-3, 8th Place)

Our loss last week saw us drop out of the Play Off places and our terrible score saw a number of teams overtake us in Points Scored. That said we're almost 200 points ahead of Fay who has a Play Off spot... and we're also ahead of OtherWorlder, who we face this week. Despite that, I don't feel we have a good chance to win. We're projected to lose before he puts a kicker in, and this will only get worse when he does. It's certainly closer than my main league, but I expect to fall to 2-4 here.

Original Dynasty (4-1, 3rd Place)

Despite winning last week, we dropped a place on Points Scored. This week should be routine though as we take on the bottom team (he who drafted Sanu in round 1) who we have out scored by almost 300 points. We are currently projected to win 187-153 and that's without a kicker as I don't really have anyone I want to cut to replace Lutz (and cutting Lutz himself isn't happening after the kicker nightmare I had last year). I may have to try and arrange a 2-for-1 or even 3-for-1 trade with someone as I have a number of players on IR and I don't really see any of my players as cuttable. I had to cut Quincy Enunwa just now when I discovered Goodwin had been dropped.... next on the chopping board would be the likes of Robby Anderson, Chris Carson or Isaiah Crowell... and there has to be some trade value there. May honestly play without a kicker at this rate, unless someone else gets sent to IR.

TTH Standard (4-1, 1st Place)

We take on Dan who is currently projected to lose to us by about 13 points, but he doesn't have a DST, which will close up most of that gap. I like his RBs and TEs over mine, but otherwise I think I prefer my team, but he usually finds a way to beat me by Friday morning, so I fully expect that. If he starts any cunt from Thursday night, I encourage you all to start them in your other leagues.

[Dan]

Didn’t get time to do pick’em results etc today, but I’ll do it tomorrow. Thursday game this week is Eagles/Giants, so get your picks in for that.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Eagles.

[Gray Fox]

We always seem to play and beat the Giants when we hit a slump and Eli looks awful. Eagles for once.

[Limoutsonik]

Eagles fo' sho'

[thommo]

I'll take the Eagles for tonight. Not very confident though, on the road on TNF is never easy.

[Gray Fox]

Week 6 time:

TTH - Standard 1-4

My picks of Freeman early in both of these leagues has backfired on me. He's had no time on the field really and my team has suffered here the most. There's already daylight between me and the playoffs so a win here is badly needed.

I face Sam who is 2-3 and could leapfrog him with a win so it is needed.

I don't like my teams chances in this too.

https://i.gyazo.com/8d5beda8a220652d59b2962e92252612.png


TTH - Dynasty 2-3

Save for Jarred, this league is as close as can be at this stage. I'm struggling with injury here though.

https://i.gyazo.com/d59ce474fbee567720267e4266a6d5d5.png


Dans Dynasty 4-1

After the Saints conspired to build my hopes up but then dash them so close to the win, I'm now not clear out in front. Down the Saints players and Golladay this week, it could easily slip to 4-2.

https://i.gyazo.com/2b52f698a065ff8a32bd15c780568303.png


Work League 4-1

After a week 1 loss, things have turned right around here and the road to the playoffs is there. This week I face an odd opponent. This is the 4th year of this league and I have yet to beat this guy in the regular season. However I've faced him in 2 championship games and smashed him in both. Obviously this has annoyed him, but even so I'd like to beat him here.

https://i.gyazo.com/176a153fed132b14ef14862f835fc5ac.png

I don't like facing Conner, but it is what it is.

[Dan]

Quick update on the pick'em results:

Not a great week, but we had one person who ended up cruising away from the pack.

- Gray Fox 10pts
- Sir Andy Mahowry 15pts
- Me 18pts
- Limoutsonik 19pts
- thommo 27pts

Best in picks & got 15pts in the position leaders, although we pretty much all whiffed on Ingram - I was the only one to get more than 1pt :D

---

Something strange happened in daily, as Mahow actually won the week :cab: Baz still hanging around at the top in the overall standings following a second place finish this week, a full 50pts ahead of me.

--

Thommo took a strike in survival after picking Denver, but everyone else made it through unscathed.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

My 2nd or 3rd streak is over :(

Lol at me finishing daily after forgetting the week before.

[Dan]

Nearly forgot to make my pick for tonight - I'm going to go for broke & take the Giants.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

I'm fucked in one league this week. My RB's are:

Kamara (Bye)
Kerryon Johnson (Bye)
Devonta Freeman (Crocked AGAIN)
Jamaal Williams (pointless)

I've picked up Morris because of Breida being out but the others look shit. Peyton Barber, Frank Gore, Corey Clement and Blount :\

Edit: Obviously Blount is on a bye but I'd still rate him higher than the other options...

[Gray Fox]

Don't you disrespect my man Corey like that.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Wendell Smallwood does it.

[Foe]

Jarvis Landry vs. LeSean McCoy vs. Tevin Coleman

Thoughts?

Current team for this weekend:

Brady
Gurley (RB)
Coleman (RB)
Devante Adams (WR)
Calvin Ridley (WR)
Jesse James (TE) :moop:
LeSean McCoy (RB)

Bench...
Demaryius Thomas (WR)
Derrick Henry (RB)
Jarvis Landry (WR)

I feel dirty benching Jarvis, but with Freeman out and the Falcons playing TB I can't help but think he'll be used heavily. Them also being 1-4 means they need to win this game at home against a poor TB team. Landry is up against the Chargers. Thoughts?

[Gray Fox]

OJ Howard can fuck off. He's supposed to be out until at least next week. I had a good feeling about streaming Brate this week.

[Dan]

Tannehill might be out today for Miami. If that happens I’m changing my DST pick to Chicago.

[Dan]

Dalvin is inactive today. On one hand, I’m happy, as now I don’t have to start him & watch him get four carriers, but now I have to rely on Lamar Miller, Keke Coutee or Jordan Reed.

[Pleb]

I will more than likely be going 0-4 this week.

Hold me.

[Dan]

Looks like I’m getting a kicking in TTH so far. Also really glad I let everyone else pick up David Moore after being in on him before the season even started :moop:

[Foe]

I'm getting smashed today.

Tevin Coleman has not be as productive as I'd hoped. Also went with Jarvis Landry, which is a shame as Baker has decided his team today is the grass.

[Dan]

I’m so mad that Melvin Gordon went ahead of me in TTH & I had to take Dalvin instead.

[thommo]

Gutted I left Albert Wilson on the bench.

[thommo]

Gutted I left Albert Wilson on the bench.

On the flipside, pretty pleased I picked up Jason Myers out of free agency. Don't think I've seen a better kicking performance.

[Dan]

I don’t like fantasy anymore.

[Gray Fox]

On the flipside, pretty pleased I picked up Jason Myers out of free agency. Don't think I've seen a better kicking performance.

I've just seen this score. Nearly as many points as Matt Ryan!

[Browning]

I'm going 2-4 this week with 3 losses in the 3 leagues I care about.... wonderful.

My main league can be excused as I had Thomas/Kamara both on bye and I still put up the 2nd highest score in the league but the cunt I was against smashed it completely. The other 2 are just pure shite though.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

I was so close to picking Ito Smith or Peyton Barber in the shit league with no RBs but I went with Jamaal Williams instead :(

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

I've just seen Deshaun Watson's score :(

[Gray Fox]

He was fucking dire. He kept holding the ball. Just throw it at Hopkins, he'll come down with most.

[Gray Fox]

Done scoring in the work league. 129 - 56 up, with him having Mahomes and Packers D left. CmC was the only guy on my team not to get into pay dirt.

TTH Dynasty I never had a hope in even if I'd played Ty Williams.

Standard looks better. 12 points up with Mahomes, Hill and Gould to face his Devante Adams, Valdes-Scantling and James White. I'm apparently 82% favourite, but I see it as far closer than that.

Dans Dynasty I'm 23 points up, despite having Wilson and his 32 points on the bench along with playing the Titans D over the Eagles. He has Gronk remaining, I have Aaron Jones and Kelce.

[Dan]

Just got back from Wembley, despite leaving just after Oakland got on the board. My phone died on the train home, and now I've been able to see how things went I'm almost glad it did. What a fucking pathetic mess this season has been already.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

For some reason my 4G refuses to work in the actual stadium.

Seriously fucking annoying.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

https://www.broadbandchoices.co.uk/news/mobile/who-has-the-fastest-4g-at-the-uks-biggest-stadiums-01345

Fucking O2.

[Limoutsonik]

I have already sewn up 7 wins out of 9 this week,with 2 precarious teams awaiting for Rodgers and Kittle to not go mad and score a million points.

[Browning]

If Adams hits his projection, I will win in my original dynasty and go 3-3 for the week. If not it’s 2-4. Even if I wanted to I can’t add a kicker now because OJ Howard is locked into my IR and can’t be moved as he has already played (which is bullshit).

[Pleb]

I think I've lost to Ian this week :sherlock:

[Gray Fox]

Nice to see Mahomes and Hill show up to drag me out of the shit.

[Pleb]

Oh shit I beat Dan in his Dynasty League :D

[Baz]

Mahow's had a nightmare.

[Browning]

Dan you will have to cut a QB in the dynasty league as you can’t hold 4 from different teams.

[Dan]

Oh piss, I forgot about that :D

Back he goes.

[Dan]

Oh shit I beat Dan in his Dynasty League :D

Think I’m going to edge you in the other dynasty league though, so at least I might avoid a full plebroll.

[Gray Fox]

Eagerly awaiting adding DeAndre to my team of ridiculousness.

[Pleb]

Think I’m going to edge you in the other dynasty league though, so at least I might avoid a full plebroll.
Yeah think you got that one. Cobb won't start (more than likely) and I highly doubt Kittle will get any playing time.

[Ian]

I think I've lost to Ian this week :sherlock:

Nae luck, big man.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap3000000974660/article/falcons-rb-devonta-freeman-likely-out-for-week-7

Fuck off.

I always seem to have Freeman in at least one league every year and I always have to deal with bullshit.

I'm not drafting him next year, I don't give a shit. I will reach for Kenneth Dixon before I take Freeman.

[Gray Fox]

I have him in both TTH leagues. It's a killer.

[Gray Fox]

And the Lev Bell saga continues. He will likely not report during the bye as had been expected.

[Pleb]

Yeah think you got that one. Cobb won't start (more than likely) and I highly doubt Kittle will get any playing time.
Both Taylor and Cobb are out for the game tonight so that's a win for Dan secured.

[Browning]

Stick Cobb on IR and trade me the world for the Niners FB.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Someone just offered me Calvin Ridley for John Brown in another league.

I will miss you Smoke :(

[Baz]

And the Lev Bell saga continues. He will likely not report during the bye as had been expected.Looking like a good decision to skip on him now, right?

[Limoutsonik]

In the end i did manage to lose in one of my 9 leagues,Rodgers dug him out of his hole as i sank due to Josh Lambo and Jax DEF taking a collective shit. Still,on the bright side i managed to make a trade accepted for DeAndre Hopkins and Kareem Hunt in exchange for garbage like Keenan Allen,LeSean Mccoy,Isiah Crowell,Deshaun Watson,Tyler Lockett,Harrison Butker and Texans DEF.These 2 i got will slot it nicely with Cousins,Gurley,Antonio Brown,AJ.Green and Joe Mixon.

[Dan]

Who are you all trading with to get these stupid trades done? I want them in my leagues.

[Limoutsonik]

You tell me,i just throw everything against the wall and hoping something sticks.

[thommo]

Almost did the double over Mahow this week until Aaron Rodgers was Aaron Rodgers. Playing Eli and Mike Williams over Sam Darnold and Albert Wilson really contributed to losing that match-up.

[Browning]

Everyone in TTH Dynasty be sure to check the new rule I posted. As mentioned, it won't come up often at all, but it came up a few times in my other league, and I didn't take action, but going forward I want to be able to fix it for people without complaining. Seems like common sense, so wasn't put to a vote.

As for my round up...

Main League, Lost 257.64-274.54, 5-1, 1st Place

We ended up the 3rd highest scorer in the league, but never had a hope according to the live projections. My opponents team just went off completely, but given we were missing my 1st round and 2nd round picks (Kamara and Thomas) as well as Marvin Jones, it was to be expected. At full strength, we could have won this. We remain top of the standings and 2nd in points scored behind only my opponent (4-2) who sits 2nd. The 2nd highest scoring team of the week are currently 5th in the table and 3 games behind us, so we have a safe grip on the Play Off spots for now.

Original Dynasty- Won 200.30 - 180.66, 5-1, 2nd Place

Despite not starting a kicker due to not wanting to cut 2 players (one to activate OJ Howard, and one to replace Lutz), we end up with a win, but it was tougher than advertised. The projections had us to win 186-160 but his team went off and mine were not performing, giving him a realistic shot to get his first win of the season. Thankfully, Adams, Mahomes and Gurley came through clutch in the later games and turned it against him despite the best efforts of Brady, Edelman and Crabtree. We move up to 2nd as the league leaders lost to move to 4-2, but we are still being the new leaders who we face this week on points scored. From his line up last week he loses Big Ben, Juju, Conner and Baldwin to bye weeks but he does get Brees and Marvin Jones back. He's done a fucking fantastic job of fixing up the 2nd worst team in the league last season to have them competing at the right end of the table, but I still have to back my studs to overcome them. The play off race in this league is tougher with the team in 5th only one game behind at 4-2. We are 3rd on points scored so even if we lose and get dragged into it, we should remain in the Play Off spots.

TTH Dynasty- Lost 116-188, 2-4, 9th Place

Shit week as we came last in scoring. The last 2 weeks have been shite in this league and seen us fall out of the Play Off spots, but we are yet to face any of the bottom sides who we face over the next few weeks. If we can secure 2-3 wins, we'll be back in the thick of it, but if not, we can write this season off most likely. Of course, the other Michael has his team firing just as we go against him, and even Jarred had a big week.... this could get ugly.

TTH Standard, Won 165.66-116.36, 5-1, 1st Place

A routine win here but GF did pip us to the top score of the week. A bit of revenge for Dan smashing us in dynasty as we knock him out of the Play Off Places, but I'm sure he'll recover. Thommo is next up which will be a hard game, and watching Corey Davis at Wembley might make me sick.

Other 2 Leagues:

In the first of these, we fall to 4-2 with a bad loss, but this was because we had to play Bortles and Watson at QB. We are still the top scorer, and sit in 1st place, though losing 2 games has seen this tighten up.

In the second, we win 165.88-103.48 despite the likes of Watson, Kupp, Evans and Kittle being shite. My opponent, in fairness, started Freeman along with the likes of Eli, Shepard, Fitz, Beckham, Carson and Morris.... real shite. We move to 3-3 but are still outside the play offs on points scored. Fay, who owns the league, is 1-5.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

2-3, ffs.

Rodgers (as Thommo says) just managed to get me the second win too.

[Baz]

Rodgers bye week.

Bye bye win streak.

[Browning]

I think I tried to post my trade thread in the wrong league... so if it appears in TTH dynasty, just disregard it, it was meant for my other dynasty. It appears to have failed to post anyway.

Hopefully I can find a trade in that league, I need to clear roster space and REALLY don't want to cut anyone.

Cutting Enunwa for Goodwin is looking shrewd right now though. :cool:

[Gray Fox]

Devonta Freeman going on IR. Bastard.

[Foe]

Much love to Todd Gurley, Devonte Adams and Tom Brady for scraping me out a win I did not deserve this week.

Opponent had Ravens DST, Tyler Boyd, Trey Burton and Antonio Brown/Russell Wilson so I thought I was screwed.

Calvin Ridley going out injured early, Jarvis Landry being horse and Jesse fucking James being my TE didn't even screw me.

[Foe]

Devonta Freeman going on IR. Bastard.

Picked up Tevin Coleman on waivers last weekend. :drool:

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Devonta Freeman going on IR. Bastard.

What a fucking knob.

[Browning]

Traded Crowell and Anderson for Burton today which gets me back to my roster limit after activating OJ. Still need to move more deadwood though.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Having to start Brother Eli in Dan's dynasty due to Rodgers bye.

Fuck me.

[Dan]

Just realised it’s Thursday already. Get your picks in fast for tonight! I’ll take a look at the pick’em this evening.

EDIT: Jesus it’s Denver/Arizona :D

[Gray Fox]

I've gone in on Cardinals D this week, so they have to be my pick.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Cardinals.

[Dan]

Just done the pick'em, and it's good to see some things never change...

Me - 20pts
Pleb & Gray Fox - 21pts
Limoutsonik - 23pts
Sir Andy Mahowry - 29pts
thommo - 30pts

Literally came down to Thommo getting maximum points on Baldwin, while 'how lost a point on him. Pleb crushed the picks with 14pts, with the next best at 11, and both 'how & Thommo got 10pts in the position picks. I also joined Thommo is nailing Baldwin's score, and we were all within 3pts, which is the best we've done so far on that bit.

---

I crushed everyone in daily this week, winning by about 55pts to sneak ahead of Baz at the top of the overall standings.

---

I took my second strike in the survivor pool after the Colts lost, and so did Thommo after not entering a pick, but both Baz & Mahow are still strike free.

---

I'll do the week 7 pick'em this evening. I wonder if you can guess which game I'm going to have as Game of the Week :harold:

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Do Saints/Ravens.

Brees is 0-4 and if he does win he becomes the third player to beat all 32 teams.

Oh and fuck Thommo.

[Dan]

That's the one I was planning on doing :D

EDIT: I'm going to stick with Denver tonight.

[Browning]

This week should be interesting:

Main League, 5-1, 1st Place

We were handed our first loss last week but it's hard to feel too bad given we were missing our 1st and 2nd round picks and still would have smashed most teams. This week we go up against Fay while I'm at the Titans/Chargers game with him, but as it stands there is zero fantasy interest from us in that game aside from him having Keenan Allen, who I also have in my original dynasty, so I don't want him to suck too bad. Yahoo rates my chances at 62% right now and predicts me to win by 22 points. It feels like it should be a win but his WR core of Beckham, Jones and Allen is always a threat. We are currently 3 games clear of dropping out of the Play Offs, so we're in a good spot.

Original Dynasty, 5-1, 2nd Place

A top of the table clash here as we go up against the 1st placed team. They have outscored us by about 26 points on the season, which is nothing really. The more remarkable thing is this is the team who came 7th (out of 8) last year and traded down from the number 2 spot to select the ineffective Chubb in round 1 (though granted he's done slightly more than Guice). He is yet to set his line up so I'm not sure what percentage Yahoo puts on us to win here, but I think we should be the favourites with him missing a number of key players. He does have the Chargers defense which would lead to me pulling my hair out at Wembley.

TTH Dynasty (2-4, 9th Place)

If ever we needed a bounce back, this is it. Yahoo doesn't like my chances though, making him the slight favourite. I think that's probably about right, with our RBs set to continue costing us game after game. It's a position I desperately need to address, but also the one position no one ever gives up. A big performance from one of our WRs could shift it to us, but of course Michael Thomas and Mike Evans have both been shite the last couple of weeks.

TTH Standard, 5-1, 1st Place

No idea how my shit team is top of the pile here, but Yahoo predicts me to get smashed, and I basically agree with that.

[Dan]

[Dan]

I saw your trade Dan you sneaky bastard :sherlock:

Look at the 'evaluate trade' option. I was amazed :D

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Sanders has been gold this year.

[thommo]

Bollocks, forgot to pick for last nights game.

Still, might give you a chance to win this week Mahow. :thbgrin:

[Browning]

Narrowly avoided facing Denver in TTH Dynasty...

Did go up against Sanders in my original and he has made my opponent favourite but only by a point or 2.

[Dan]

Of course I go up against Sanders in TTH :moop: Think I was against Denver in another league, but at least Courtland Sutton got some decent points to help out a few of my daily teams.

[Gray Fox]

Dilly dallied between Cardinals and Broncos defence all week. For fucks sake.

[Baz]

I always expect to win, but this week I have no confidence. :(

[Pleb]

I'm undefeated in the random league :| Both TTH and TTH Dynasty looks to be tight (6th, 3-3) though I don't think I'm going to make the playoffs in those leagues so that's pretty much dead.

Dan's Dynasty league looks like we have a race for the fourth playoff spot but I'm not holding up much hope for it.

[Dan]

I’m doing it, I’m dropping Derrick Henry. What a shit keeper he turned out to be, even for a tenth rounder.

His schedule is literally all red & yellow on the matchup thing too, aside from Miami in week one :D

[Browning]

The reason half of them are red and yellow is because they basically got a week off from having to defend the run when they faced him.

[Dan]

He’ll run wild tomorrow now :uhoh:

[Gray Fox]

I don't think he knows how.

[Limoutsonik]

You all should grab Nick Chubb while you can,with Hyde traded to the Jags,Chubb will be the bellcow and that means POINTS.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Someone in Dan's dynasty has offered me a BLOCKBUSTER trade.

He gives me Antonio Brown and I give him Nick Chubb, Calvin Ridley and my 1st & 2nd round picks from next year.

Rejected it as it's so much to give up.

[Browning]

I’ll laugh when Duke Johnson gets more touches than Chubb.

[Dan]

I picked Duke up in TTH with that exact thought.

That trade offer for AB is absurd, by the way. It might be alright for just the picks or just the players, but not all of it. People in general are horrendous traders - everyone just tries to rip people off rather than actually making sensible offers.

EDIT: Who is President Jim Bob Cooter in the Fleaflicker dynasty? He's known to one of us, right?

[Gray Fox]

He's the guy I've beaten in the last 2 title games in my work league.


EDIT: He's just offered me Thielen and a 1st round pick for Golladay.

[Dan]

He’s offered me Olsen & Tavon Austin for Gesicki, Goedert & a sixth.

By far the worst of the trades I’ve seen him offer anyone in the league :D

[Browning]

Thielen and a 1st for Golladay? Assuming you're getting Thielen and the 1st.... that's a no brainer.

[Gray Fox]

I've spoken to him and he says he's going full rebuild mode, but this is his first crack at Dynasty, so maybe he's yet to figure things out.

And yes it would be me getting Thielen and the 1st round pick. He's only verbally offered it for now, not sent anything through.

[Dan]

All his other offers have been pretty good, to be fair, and it's nice to see some activity.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

You bastard Dan.

I shouldn't do it but I'm very tempted.

Dan, I've accepted but it's going to go through before Ridley plays. Could you add some extra time to the trade review or cancel so I can accept later?

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

If Melvin Gordon can't go change my RB to Gurley please.

[Browning]

You picked Barkley...

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

:D

So I did, fucking hell.

[Gray Fox]

With Melvin out my work league options are Chubb or Shady McCoy. I'm personally leaning Shady but it's shite either way.

Just in time this week. Thank god I noticed Gordon was out in time - benched him in the TTH Regular league, and moved Ekeler into a starting spot in the TTH Dynasty League.

[Dan]

He's come back to me and removed the picks so:

Antonio Brown for Calvin Ridley and Nick Chubb.

Dan, I've accepted but it's going to go through before Ridley plays. Could you add some extra time to the trade review or cancel so I can accept later?

I only have options to confirm or cancel the trade, so shall I cancel it & you can send him the offer again later?

[Gray Fox]

So I think I'm rolling with Chubb over Shady. After playing the Cards defence in this league too I may need miracles. Only slight positive is my opponent still has Bryant in at kicker for now.

[Dan]

He’ll run wild tomorrow now :uhoh:

Not exactly running wild, but of course he’s scored & is having a decent fantasy game.

[Gray Fox]

Browns now list Duke as starter.

Opinion time then. Standard scoring, Shady or Chubb?

[Dan]

I’ve swapped Duke in over Marlon Mack, but I do still think Chubb will be the lead back. Might be a game that favours Duke though, so maybe Shady will get the edge this week. I can imagine Chubb getting 10 carries & Duke playing a decent amount if it gets high scoring.

[Gray Fox]

I gave Shady the edge. He should still stay on the field on 2 minute drills and such, so he edged it.

[Gray Fox]

He's on the ground already. Fuck this week.

[Dan]

Kerryon has 4 carries & is already over 100 yards :moop:

[Dan]

I’ve swapped Duke in over Marlon Mack

Current scores - 13pts for Mack, 1pt for Duke :yawn:

[thommo]

Current scores - 13pts for Mack, 1pt for Duke :yawn:

He's already on 16.9 pts in TTH Dynasty, and on my bench. :moop:

[Dan]

He's on the ground already. Fuck this week.

He won’t return, and now Sony Michel is out having fumbled while getting injured.

This season is a write off. Mack already pushing 20pts, of course. I think I should just start doing best ball drafts next season.

[Gray Fox]

I have Thielen fighting the good fight, but fuck all beyond that.

[Gray Fox]

Now Bilal Powell injured. Savage season so far.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

I only have options to confirm or cancel the trade, so shall I cancel it & you can send him the offer again later?

Yes please.

[Dan]

Done.

[Dan]

My only consolation is that my shit Yahoo dynasty team is somehow 5-1 & giving Mahow a kicking.

[Gray Fox]

Lead by 10 in the work league. Ryan and Engram to go against his Tevin Coleman, Julio, Woods and Michael Thomas.

If I pull that off it's one for the ages.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

My only consolation is that my shit Yahoo dynasty team is somehow 5-1 & giving Mahow a kicking.

I've just seen Drake's score, genuinely sickening.

[Gray Fox]

Bailey adds another 3 on, but having basically 0 from both Kearse and Shady has killed me. Especially with Chubb finding pay dirt.

[Gray Fox]

Just realised I didn't do a write up this week. Anyway:

Dans Dynasty could see another loss coming my way. I need 80 points in .5 PPR from Ryan, Barkley, Julio and Kelce. It can be done but I don't like my chances.

TTH Dynasty saw me take a few risks that didn't pay off. That's likely me done this year in that.

TTH Standard looks far healthier. I'm 31 points up on Dan with Zeke in play. After that is Mahomes and Hill v Dalton, Hunt and Sanu.


As for my work league that Thomas TD catch could be the difference. Because of it I'm now 8.9 points behind. Ryan and Engram v Coleman and Julio to come. In reality here I'm going to need about 30 points of Ryan, hope his Atlanta lads don't combine for more than 30, then hope Engram can catch it up.

He still has Matt Bryant as his kicker though, so with that not being locked in he could easily change it at some point tomorrow. If he does that'll settle the matchup in his favour. If he doesn't I'd say it's about 80-20 in his favour.

[Baz]

Jaguars got me 2 points
Denver on my bench got 32

L McCoy got me 0.1 points
D Lewis on my bench got 18.5

I deserve the battering I’ve received.

[Dan]

Dalton shitting the bed has made me feel less bad about TTH, although if Sanu scores 17+ I’ll go back to being mad at swapping out Mack 3mins before kickoff.

[thommo]

In TTH Regular I'm almost 39 points ahead - I've got Coleman and Browning had Ryan left to play. Barring Ryan going TD crazy and completely leaving Coleman out of the offense, I should have this match-up won.

In TTH Dynasty it's a lot closer. I'm 19 points ahead of Zach, with Hooper to play, but he has Barkley, who has been scarily consistent this season. I'm going to be sick if I lose this match-up, I have Mack (31.9 pts) and Trey Burton (27.6 pts) on the bench, and I started Matt Breida (-0.5 pts). Just hoping Hooper gets a few receptions and a TD, and it SHOULD see me over the line.

[Browning]

I’m going to be the 2nd or 3rd highest scorer in TTH Dynasty and lose yet again. The schedule is fucking wank.

[Gray Fox]

Ryan almost caught me up with that bomb TD. 2 points in it now. It's the hope that kills you.

[Gray Fox]

Yep the hope kills you. Giants have stopped the run all day, so Ito Smith goes off for Coleman. 1 pitch later he's in the end zone. Game over.

[Browning]

Well that was a batshit crazy week of Fantasy:

Main League, Won 260.96 - 248.35, 6-1, 1st Place

This week's match against 'My Burkhead Ertz', AKA Fay, was never really in doubt, with us being the favourite from start to finish and comfortably so, but yet he ended up smashing his projection and being the 2nd highest scoring team of the week, even outscoring 'Team Awesome' who handed us our only loss of the first half of the campaign. The QB battle was edged by me with Winston and Newton combing to outscore Flacco and Rivers by about 8 points. He smashed the WR battle, as I predicted he would, with Beckham, Julio and Allen outscoring my pathetic combo of Thomas, Marvin and DeSean by about 20 points, but that wasn't enough to compensate for Gurley and Kamara Vs Michel and Ito Smith at RB where we romped to a roughly 40 point win. Ertz and Njoku for him combined to destroy my Ebron and Robinson in the TE and first Flex battle but the 2nd flex was James White for me putting up 32 to Taylor Gabriel's 6. After the game he offered me Ertz for White.... and I've turned it down. Who the fuck saw that coming?

What all this means is at the half way stage the table is:

My Team- 6-1, 1833.54 Points
Team Awesome: 5-2, 1849.40 Points
Brees Nutz: 4-3, 1720.36 Points
My Burkhead Ertz, 4-3, 1558.99 Points
- - - - - - - - - - - - -
The Vipers: 3-4, 1597.09 Points
Multiple Scoregasms: 3-4, 1424.80 Points
Brady's Bunch: 2-5, 1477.66 Points
Draft Bust Emporium: 1-6, 1440.07 Points

Already having a 3 game cushion is nice, and I can't see us struggling from here.

Original Dynasty: Won 166.68 - 165.93 Vs Space Monkeys, 6-1, 1st Place

Where to even begin with this. Wow... just wow. We entered the game as the top 2 and before anything happened I was a big favourite. Sanders played Thursday Night and erased all of that, making him the favourite, but I adjusted my lineup and put Yeldon in which made it 50-50 (edging to me) again. This didn't last long. Allen didn't hit projection at Wembley and then Hopkins was poor, as was Ingram, Ebron, Robinson, Lutz, the Jags DST... we were a shitshow. A number of his players were not performing either but the likes of Ertz and Drake did enough that Yahoo had this ranging between 90% and 95% for him... and then came the Chiefs Vs Bengals where I started Mahomes and he had Dalton... I was projected to make up 4 points but actually made up 33 points and got back into range. Still he would beat me unless Sterling Shepard outscored Ito Smith by 12 points... and he managed 13! Somehow we did it. Both teams sucked big time and would have lost to multiple other teams, but we somehow pulled it off.

Half Way Point Table:

My Team, 6-1, 1340.21 Points (1st)
Space Monkeys, 5-2, 1363.84 Points (7th)
The Vipers, 5-2, 1312.48 Points (2nd)
Dalvin and the Chipmunks (AKA Fay), 5-2, 1193.69 Points (5th)
- - - - - - - - -
The Order, 4-3, 1428.36 Points (4th)
Urine Trouble, 2-5, 1110.08 Points (6th)
Otherworlder, 1-6, 1069.29 Points (8th)
Viva La Luch, 0-7, 1034.29 Points (3rd)

The positions at the end are where teams finished last year, so that we can see how the rookie draft reshaped things. Like every league he is in, Fay is stealing a Play Off Spot from someone comfortably outscoring him.....

Both TTH leagues ended in losses again, a deserved one to Thommo, a taking the piss one in Dynasty.

Both my other leagues ended in wins. We sit 5-2 (1st) in one of them and 4-3 (5th) in the other. We are outside the play offs in that one by 1.12 points.

[Foe]

Fitzgerald is available as a free in my league and he's facing a shit 49ers defence this week. Contemplating dropping gio Bernard to pick him up. Thoughts?

[Browning]

No brainer if you have Gio to drop.

I negotiated that previously mentioned White for Ertz trade and just pulled the trigger on giving up White and Allison for Ertz and Julio. Watch it get vetoed.

[Browning]

Vetoed within 10 minutes. :drool:

Cunts.

[Foe]

No brainer if you have Gio to drop.

I negotiated that previously mentioned White for Ertz trade and just pulled the trigger on giving up White and Allison for Ertz and Julio. Watch it get vetoed.

Gonna pull the trigger if he's still about. The falcons on a bye this week mean I'm stuck with Ridley, Coleman and sanu all benched. Derick Henry is also on a bye so fitz would be a solid flex I think.

After an 0-2 start to my fantasy career I'm now 5-2 after working out what I'm actually trying to do.

[Foe]

Geronimo Allison was available so I grabbed him instead. Gives me both the GB receivers which is probably safer than a good WR on a really shit team.

[Dan]

Jesus, TNF this week is Dolphins/Texans :sick:

I’ll do pick’em later.

[Gray Fox]

The Jags D has just been dropped in my work league. Given I missed out on the good defences due to being at the back of the line each week, I'll put in for them to see how it goes.

It's also horrible for a QB streamer this week. I was sure Dalton would be dumped after his poor performance last week but nope. My choices are Carr, Keenum, Smith or rolling the dice on Bortles.

[thommo]

I'll take the Texans tonight.

[Gray Fox]

Seconded on the Texans.

Hopkins is due a poor game sooner or later. Hopefully it isn't today.

[Dan]

Pick'em was a high scoring week, but there was a clear winner.

thommo - 22pts
Me - 32pts
Gray Fox - 34pts
Limoutsonik - 35pts
Sir Andy Mahowry - 45pts

All came down to the players picks, where Mahow got 10 for Mahomes, 10 for the Rams DST (actually second but Denver were first & they don't count as they played on Thursday) & 5 for Ertz, plus another 10 for being spot on about Snead.

I'd also like to point out that I got every single game pick correct apart from the Panthers beating Philly, but that just goes to show how big the player predictions are as Mahow tied for first just off those.

---

Thommo saved some pride by winning the daily league for the week, with Mahow second, but it's still a two horse race between Baz & I, with only 11pts separating us.

---

Another successful week in survivor, as all four of us survived without taking a strike. I'm not feeling confident in my underdog pick though, so this could be my last week :uhoh:

---

Don't forget your TNF picks! I'm going to take a swing at the Dolphins, I guess.

[thommo]

Last week was poor for me on the predictions - took some swings and completely missed on a lot. I'm down to my last strike on survivor too so not confident of seeing out too many more weeks.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Player picks :drool:

Texans tonight.

Can I also pick Hopkins as best WR or are Thursday players not eligible.

Edit: Just seen that they are not eligible as Denver didn't count last week.

[Pleb]

Fuck it, go Dolphins.

[Gray Fox]

Week 8 time:


TTH - Dynasty 2-5

My most precarious of leagues sees me dead last. The early Triple RB grab of Johnson, Freeman and Howard really hasn't panned out and we're nearing the point of no return. Wins need to be put together and fast. I face Fay this week and despite predictions telling me I'm favoured, it is tough to trust the numbers some of the guys are getting.

https://i.gyazo.com/f147ef6c7d925f19ed02afc93913ef81.png


TTH - Standard 3-4

Last weeks shock win over Dan has helped out heaps here. I'm right back in the play-off shout and to my surprise I'm the only one in the league to have broken 1000 points scored. Perhaps I've been a little unlucky previously?

I face Thommo this week and would massively benefit from putting a dent in his 5-2 team. A win for him means he can probably start looking towards week 14 at the least. Too close to call here.

https://i.gyazo.com/0dfd6cfe59e313874f04bcb5c2d90e07.png


Dans Dynasty 5-2

I came so irritatingly close to pulling back the big points deficit last week, but I just fell 5 points short. That now demotes me to 2nd place via head-to-head and looking back over my shoulder.

https://i.gyazo.com/33473751b4e7af91fe41f7b720f01ee8.png

This league is insanely tight for the time of season it is, save for last place. Each win very much crucial.

Up this week is a rematch against Pleb. He's also down Zeke this week, whilst my squad is minus Ryan and Julio.

https://i.gyazo.com/3f061d135876f771ff7ae510e90ce0e0.png

I'm extremely heavily favoured this week, but as we've seen before with Pleb. This can mean nothing.



Work League 5-2

https://i.gyazo.com/b4660c8f0e0d5481dd5e7c241d5b9383.png

Last weeks horror show saw me lose Melvin Gordon an hour before his game, Kearse put up 0, Shady put up 0.1 before leaving his game and I made a last minute call to switch from Broncos D to Cardinals. Murphys law in full effect.

I see this week being a struggle too.

https://i.gyazo.com/f4faa901bbfe68064245f4db3aba8eae.png

I currently have no QB. Very slim pickings on the wire too. Flacco, Bortles, Smith or Keenum are my options. I dislike all of them too. My opponent has some very good matchups there as well.

And lastly I face a very similar defence call to last week. I either play Cardinals D going up against Beathard, who they absolutely torched away from home, or I play the reverse and take advantage of Rosens struggles.

I also wouldn't mind adding some better RB depth here. After Gordon, CmC and Chubb, there's not one there you could say is likely to get a high workload at the moment.
The 0-7 girl has Kareem Hunt. He'd be a dream trade but I feel she is about to give up.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

I can't believe my shithouse team in Dan's dynasty is third.

Antonio Brown makes it much more legitimate now though...

[thommo]

Drake has already passed his projection in the opening 11 minutes, good start to the week.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

I like Thursday games now.

[Gray Fox]

It would have been great all around if not for the Texans defence being robbed of a score for no reason.

[Baz]

For some reason page 70 is blocked at work so get chatting so I can read the latest page.

Looks like Mahow could pull off a good upset, courtesy of Deshaun Watson's mammoth 40.96 point haul. :drool: In yo face, Golden Grahams.

[thommo]

Conflicting TNF for myself across the 2 leagues.

Drake got himself 2 TDs and almost trebled his prediction in TTH Regular, so a great start to the gameweek for me there. However, in TTH Dynasty, my opponent has had Will Fuller go a bit crazy, doubling his projection, so I'm definitely behind and will need some big performances to get back. I'm in a tough spot in that league actually, a lot of first team players out on the bye. I just have to hope that Breida, Mack and Robby Anderson all are fit despite their 'Questionable' tag.

[Browning]

Everyone is a bit fucked in the 12 teamer because trading is the only way to get players you need. There is nothing on waivers. It sickened me to have to trade for Danny Amendola but here we are.

In other news, adding Doug Martin was enough to get my trade through that bunch of pussies so we traded Allison, Martin and White for Ertz and Julio.

[Browning]

Main League, 6-1, 1st Place

We take on the 5th place side in a match where a win could give us a 4 game cushion on a Play Off spot. Even if it doesn't, it will mean only 1 team is 3 games back as opposed to 2. We're currently expected to win by almost 30 points and I feel like we should win, but it won't be too easy. The trade has left us a bit weaker this week as we had to downgrade James White to Marlon Mack, but we did get to upgrade our weakest flex, Allen Robinson, to Zach Ertz. He definitely has the advantage at QB (Rodgers and Cousins for him, Luck and Winston for me) but I like my team overall as long as Kamara can get his act together, so I'm hopeful we move to 7-1 and take a giant leap towards the Play Offs.

Original Dynasty, 6-1, 1st Place

This week we take on Fay who is 5-2 and occupies the final Play Off Spot. The league is stupidly tight between the top 5, with the other 3 nowhere near. We've had a decent start having started DeAndre Hopkins to his Fairburn leaving us 26.86 - 6.00 up and projected to win by 14 points. That isn't very much though and could easily swing towards him. We will also both be at our final Wembley game, but the only fantasy interest in this match is me starting the Jags DST.

Elsewhere in this league 2nd takes on 3rd (with 2nd currently projected to win by 13) but the 5th place team, who should be looking to capitalise on the 2 top match ups, is struggling Vs the 6th placed team (who is 2-5 and already 3 games off the play offs) due to him starting Watson and Miller. It would be amazing if he pulled off that win.

TTH Standard is lost already. I would care, but I have Hopkins in the above league, and Watson in a couple of others... so it's hard to.

TTH Dynasty we have a hope of finally getting that 3rd win, but we'll need to string 2-3 together to make any real movement I feel. Amendola gave us a strong start considering he was my final flex player, but I do still hate my RBs. Projections have me to win by 17. If we lose it, I feel the season truly is over.

My other 2 leagues have had a strong start. In the one where I am top of the standings I currently lead 49.87 to 25.40 (Watson and Alonso Vs Fuller) and I am projected to win by about 24 points. Should it become close, I have an open spot for a Safety to add some more. In the other random league where I am just outside the play offs on points scored (by less than 2 points!) I face the guy who is 1 spot ahead of me and the match was projected to be 50/50 but following the 44.34 points I got from Watson I am now favourite to win by 15.

[Dan]

Should probably do the pick'em list for this week...
