Definitely going to win the league now with my shit team.

Definitely going to win the league now with my shit team.
Just realised I smashed the daily fantasy thing.
I'm a twit
I'm dead in survivor. I tried to be clever and went for the Saints, whoops.
Yeah, I'll round all that stuff up now.
Only had four people who picked all the sections - @Sir Andy Mahowry, @Pleb, @Limoutsonik & myself, and we all got maximum points for Green Bay over 44.5pts.
- Pleb did the best in the picks/GOTW combo (15pts), only missing on Seattle, Tennessee & the Saints, but he missed on everything else so only finished with 15pts
- Limoutsonik had the lowest score on picks/GOTW (11), but nailed Andrew Luck's score for a full ten & also gained five each for picking Keenan Allen & the Ravens, finishing on 31pts
- Mahow was solid all round, getting 12pts on the picks, nailing Alvin Kamara as the top RB for ten points & getting close on Luck. Ultimately though, a score of 33pts was only good enough for second
- That's right, I won this week. I did okay in the picks (12pts), and was out by one on Luck, but I smashed it on the player picks, getting 5pts in four of the five categories to end on a total of 41pts.
--
The biggest domination of the week, however, was @Baz crushing the field in daily fantasy, finishing with 150pts with second just over 100. This may be Baz's format, since there's no direct opponent that can outscore him every week.
Don't forget to set your lineups for week two. There are still five spots open if anyone else wants to join.
---
Everyone made it through week one of survivor except Mahow, who made the terrible mistake of trusting the Saints.
---
I'll get the pick list up for week two tonight or tomorrow, but just to be safe feel free to make your picks for TNF (Ravens/Bengals) now.
Ravens, obviously.
Yeah sorry I don’t have time to fill in that big questionnaire every week (nor do I know enough) but I will make sure to do all the Yahoo stuff. TTH is blocked at work but Yahoo isn’t so it’s easy enough to do there.
I wish you could see your previous weeks lineup on Daily Fantasy, on the same screen where you pick this weeks lineup. I know you can’t have the same team every week cos of costs (nor would you want to because of opponents) but it’d be good for inspiration/a reminder to keep using certain players.
EDIT: Bengals
I'm a twit
Didn't I pick all the sections as well? Or did I miss something?
Anyway, Bengals for tomorrow.
You’re correct, I just skipped over yoursOriginally Posted by thommo
I’ll take a proper look in a sec & get your score, but at a glance it looks like you’ll be up there.
EDIT: 39pts, I think. 5 for Brees, 5 for Allen, 10 for Kamara, 7 for Luck & 12 for the picks.
No, sorry, 35pts. It was 3pts for Luck, not 7.

Picking the Bengals, it's sweet.
I misread the date and for some reason our waivers go through on a Thursday. Gives me another chance to look at it.
I can pick up Cook for a TE, or Ekeler as a 'cuff. I'd like to stash Jones ahead of time, but there's only so many RBs a man should possess.
Can never have too many.
I'm a twit
If we had a flex spot I'd be all for keeping the 6, but only 2 RB slots means it's probably overkill.
Nabbed Cook, Jones and Keenum off waivers. At least when he throws interceptions he still comes out of it with a decent score.
Now that all my waiver days are done, write up time. Week 2:
TTH - Standard 0-1
@Ian this week. I don't fancy my chances here at all. I've currently got Freeman as not playing which doesn't help either. Quite comfortable win for him I think.
Toggle Spoiler
TTH - Dynasty 1-0
I've got Zachs team this week and would be sat fancying my chances, but both Freeman and David Johnson are now questionable. If both play I should be good, if both don't, the win is there for him to take.
Toggle Spoiler
Dans Dynasty 1-0
I was the highest scorer last week and dealt with Mahow, this week however I face the 2nd highest scorer. This should be a shootout and it's tough to call. I'm hopeful to win it on the ground.
Toggle Spoiler
Work League 0-1
Just like last year I start 0-1. I'm very keen to avoid 0-2 but I can see it happening.
Toggle Spoiler
He's changed his lineup and taken Ben out, who I really fancy to go big this week. I hope it stays that way. I'd be more confident about the RB situation had Lewis not clearly looked the better Titans back last week.
WR looks about even, but if I had to choose I'd take his over mine this week. I am tempted to play Cobb over Jones. We saw last week Jimmy G had some success throwing against the Vikings. Had he not overthrown 2 passes ever so slightly, he has a great fantasy game. Adams is looking iffy to play too, so he should see some targets.
At TE he's just lost his starter in Walker. Hopefully this tilts things in my favour.
TTH Standard:
Toggle Spoiler
This is going to be a bloodbath. Top scorer from week 1 against the lowest scorer, Pleb surely doesn't stand a chance.
TTH Dynasty:
Toggle Spoiler
Up against Browning after we both lost last week. He has the upper hand here and I expect him to win, especially if Rodgers doesn't play.
Money League:
Toggle Spoiler
My tightest match on paper and I feel quite confident purely because of Kamara and Allen. I'm also hoping that Goodwin can play because he's crap and wont get near his projection.
Dan's Dynasty:
Toggle Spoiler
Playing Staff and I don't fancy my chances. Our WR's are about the same but his RB's blow mine out the fucking water. He did win last week but I did score more than him last week.
IDP Star Wars League:
Toggle Spoiler
My team was shit last week (bar Thomas and Kamara) but I'm confident about this one.
Time for week 2 of the pick'em contest. Some good games on the slate, and some important early season divisional games too, so let's get this moving.

The way IR is done is so annoying. Just rule Wentz out until we hear different you cunts. Don't keep putting him to 'Doubtful' every week.
GAME OF THE WEEK - Steelers v Chiefs - OVER - I mean...it's the Chiefs. Shitshow imminent.

Ravens v Bengals (TNF) - Fuck sake another TNF borefest. If Flacco can be bothered to turn up then it's the Ravens but we all know where this is leading. Your not facing the Titans this week Mahow calm the fuck down.
Chargers v Bills - Oh Bills, do me a favour and play Football.
Jags v Patriots - Fucking Christ.

Panthers v Falcons - I mean...the Falcons aren't exactly THAT good at the moment.
Titans v Texans - Both garbage. Coin toss.
Bucs v Eagles - Woof.
Rams v Cardinals - The Rams are on a charge. Their schedule screams Wild Card offseason potential. This matchup doesn't favour the Cardinals. I predict a bloodbath.
Broncos v Raiders - Go home Raiders.
Packers v Vikings - One fingerpoke from a Viking player to Arron Rodgers and he's dead. Kirk Cousins will love this matchup and pick.
Giants v Cowboys (SNF) - Why? Coin toss.
Seahawks v Bears (MNF) - Now we're talking. Bears are legit. I anticipate a shock.

So the Browns get an extra game in their season and still lose? Harsh.
I blame the football gods on that one.
Going for a Ravens win tonight. Rest of the picks to follow tomorrow.
You know what, Andy Dalton? Just fuck off. You’re still as annoying of a fantasy QB as you were last time I made the mistake of using you.
Yet the Ravens D get negative points. I’m assuming they all left their hands in the locker room like when they faced the colts last year.
TTH: Minus 5 on the Ravens defence? Are you alright Mahow? I expect a dicking from you, don't disappoint me.
TTH Dynasty: Holy shit this matchup is tight. Shall I stick with Cousins or risk it with Keenum? The fantasy mind boggles. Both QBs have shite matchups by the way and the Raiders aren't that elite at the moment.
Random Yahoo League: AJ Green has just royally fucked my matchup so Yahoo projections has me royally losing in the ass by about 30 points the jammy twats. My opponent has Big Ben, Josh Gordon (Browns), Zeek, AP, Jimmy Graham (probably dead), Royce Freeman (probably a beast), Jake Elliott and the Rams defence so I'm fucked.
Dan's Dynasty: Whose President Jim Bob Cooter (great name by the way), his TE situation needs looking at. What do I care? I'm losing this matchup anyway. The quest for the number 1 draft spot next season begins now (are we reverse picks for the draft next season @Dan?). I'm wide awake.
Main League:
QB: Wilson and Cam Vs Brees and Watson
RB: Kamara and Gurley Vs Zeke and Gordon
WR: Thomas, Crowder and Anderson Vs Hilton, Sanders and Stills
TE: Eifert (4.64) Vs Reed
Flex: Marvin Jones and Robinson Vs Cobb and McCaffrey
K: Tucker (7.00) and Gano Vs Butler and Vinatieri
DST: Chargers Vs Baltimore (-1)
IDP: Kuechly, Collins and Mack Vs Mosley (0.00), James and Campbell
He's had 2 players play already and combine for -1 points where as my 2 have combined for 11.64 which is shite but clearly better. The original projection was me to win by less than half a point (246.32 to 245.88) but now it's 237.72 to 226.06. We were the top 2 scorers last week with him being the only team to outscore me.
Original Dynasty League
QB: Mahomes Vs Cousins
WR: Hopkins, Adams and Allen Vs Thomas, Watkins and Matthews
RB: Gurley and Fournette Vs Barkley and David Johnson
TE: Watson Vs Gronkowski
Flex: Howard and Robinson Vs Collins (12.32) and Burkhead
K: Lutz Vs Prater
DST: Jags Vs Eagles
Top Vs bottom from last year but the Fournette trade looms large as both Fournette and McKinnon could miss this game, but Cousins and Watkins will both feature for him. My super team of studs were slow out of the gate last week (we won but only had the 3rd highest score, which is unusual for us in this league, and my closest rival for the crown blew us away in terms of scoring. That said we are expected to go to 2-0 with an original projection of 181.48-172.05 now being slightly wider with him only projected 169.89.
TTH Dynasty: See Mahow's earlier Screenshot
I have no confidence in my team in this league, but despite the shitty Ravens DST, we're off to a decent-ish start with John Brown ensuring we are over projection.We're projected to win 148.89 to 133.72 but I wouldn't be shocked if Mahow took the win here. I didn't draft for this season particularly, and missing out on all the studs by drafting fucking 12th is showing. I really need my RBs to find form. Annoyingly I nearly put Buck Allen in last night, but I didn't quite have the nerve to trust another Raven.
I picked Cook up off waivers and offered him to the Engram owner. He just accepted the straight swap.
Cook being on waivers is the sign of a league that isn't worth your time.
Is Rodgers gonna play?
I'm a twit
In a 10 team league I don't think it's too unreasonable. He was probably about 20+ in TE ranks before the draft. No one really saw week 1 coming.
@Baz Unless he is physically unable to stand and throw, he's playing. I seem to recall him pretty much playing on one leg before about 3/4 years ago. Was still hobbling out of the pocket and finding people.
Picks look a bit more diverse this week. I'm leaving mine as late as I dare so I can find out if Mariota & Rodgers are playing, but I'm still really tempted to pick the Browns
GAME OF THE WEEK - Steelers v Chiefs - Over/under 62.5 total points. Steelers and over. Chiefs getting a bounce back fisting.

I forgot there was a shit TE called Cook and assumed you meant Dalvin, which wouldn’t have shocked me.
Joined a friends fantasy league for the first time. It's not going well. Lost week 1.
At least I have a chance in week 2 yeah? Opponent had AJ Green.fanfuckingtastic
No they have learned somewhat this year, although the guy who accepted(as I hoped), seems to just watch his team and not bother looking at anything other than the box score.
Big deficit from a Thursday game is always the worst to look at. It's not over yet though.Joined a friends fantasy league for the first time. It's not going well. Lost week 1.
At least I have a chance in week 2 yeah? Opponent had AJ Green.
Benched John Brown for Josh Gordon who I felt would have a big game.
Ruled out and released :\ Hopefully he gets picked up by someone with a QB (Patriots).
Have to roll with Funchess in a shit match now. Perhaps Pleb has a chance.
The Browns have been far more patient than any other team would have at this point. His career is done.
My options in Dan's dynasty league are:
Chase Edmonds
Nick Chubb
Bo Scarbrough
Justin Jackson
Calvin Ridley
Tre'quan Smith
Equanimeous St. Brown
Charles Clay
Cameron Brate
Dalton Schultz
Rich pickings there.
Edit: Jonnu Smith on the waiver wire, let's go with that.
Mahomes v Cousins in Browning's Dynasty league sounds like a complete mismatch.

This week, David Johnson will score... 17 pts
----------------------------
In my matchups this week, I'm against Richard Fay in both the TTH Regular and the TTH Dynasty Leagues.
TTH Regular - I'm projected to win fairly comfortably, especially after AJ Green's performance on Thursday. Fairly evenly matched across the rest of the board, but I'm pretty confident my RBs, Gordon, Drake and Coleman, will outperform his duo of Morris and Burkhead.
Projected: 151.47 - 131.10
TTH Dynasty - I was orignally projected another comfortable win, but that's a bit narrower as Flacco outperformed for him on Thursday. Once again, my RBs (Kamara and McCaffrey) should seal it if they perform as expected. Hopefully Jimmy G puts in a better statline than last week too.
Projected: 158.41 - 147.79
The trade for Engram did not come quick enough to sneak into my team in time. Here's hoping Cook lights it up one more week.
The guy also has Bell on his team. Didn't manage to nab Conner either and it cost him the win in week 1. I'm hoping he loses again and I may be able to steal Bell for cheap.
I’m on my way home & should just sneak in before the games kick off, but I’ll get my picks up now.
Steelers, under
Chargers
Saints
Patriots
Redskins
Broncos
Texans
Panthers
Eagles
49ers
Giants
Vikings
Dolphins
Bears
Rams
Big Ben, Melvin Gordon, Antonio Brown, Kittle & Denver as my position leaders, and DJ to score 10pts.
—
Might change those slightly if I get in with enough time to look at my provisional picks, but we’ll see.
Pleb is now favourite
Starting Mahomes in Dan's Dynasty league is starting to pay off
Ajayi to stay off the field and Watson to either get off or sort his shit out please.
I wish I'd been able to get Melvin Gordon againStill got him in a couple of other leagues, to be fair. Fingers crossed I'm not playing against him anywhere.
And I think I'm done.
I need some TD's.
I have a fantasy team with Roethlisberger, AJ Green & Melvin Gordon. Feeling pretty good about that one.
Thanks Evans.
Watson actually passing to Hopkins would help a lot.
Every time one of my players does something, two of Pleb's players do something
