Didnt even realize mostert got hurt too


I have coleman. I can plug him in with whichever giant i pick up


What a fucking bloodbath today

 

[JustinCruise]

Only three positives i could find today

Dj Moore is fine, week 1 was a fluke


Travis Kelce is in a TE tier to himself


Kyler breakout is real. Stud

 

[JustinCruise]

Injuries today included saquan barkley, devante adams, raheem mostert, christian mccaffery, cam akers, nick bosa, jimmy garrapolo, david Montgomery, paris campbell, courtland sutton, drew lock.


If you avoided these consider yourself exceptionally lucky and a favorite in your league


Waiver wire is going to be absolutely fucking insane this week. I will be spending basically everything i have

 

[JustinCruise]

Still cant get over the improbability of my rotowire results today


Based on fantasypros ecr

D adams #1 ranked wr for the week - 6 pts
Arob #8 ranked wr for the week - 6 pts
Kenyan drake #10 ranked rb for the week - 10 pts
Bills #1 ranked dst for the week - 3 pts
Geodert #7 ranked TE for the week - 7 pts


Need wilson and lockett to connect for 6 tds lol

 

[JustinCruise]

Man i cant fucking believe saquan. Was looking forward to watching him all year

 

[slapshot]

Lot of injuries

would have to think no preseason has something to do with it

 

[JustinCruise]

Russell wilson is unbelievable

 

[JustinCruise]

Fuuck i thought that was Lockett

 

[JustinCruise]

Patriots need to score again so seahawks keep pushing

 

[JustinCruise]

DangerRuss bringing back in rotowire. Still going to be at the bottom for the week but this will keep me in the top 2-4 in points which is what matters


Really need another wilson, lockett, or carson td


The top guy in this league now has a commanding 100 pt lead on everyone. He finished with 190ish pts week 1 and 2. Calvin Ridley carrying his team

 

[JustinCruise]

There it is double points with Wilson to carson, at least ending a brutal day on a positive note. That may allow me to retain second place in rotowire.

Wilson, carson, lockett combine for 90 pts


Hopefully Davante adams injury is minor and I should be ok in that league

 

[slapshot]

Damn I was looking for Superman over the top not a off tackle play

 

[CADILLACJACK]

I need to stop reading these stupid sites that suggest sitting players....many suggested sitting Metcalf said "bust" of the week! So much for that.....

I said Metcalf over Cook in here even with Gilmore on him. People get too fancy w/ this shit sometimes, play your best players and let them eat.

(Cook could obviously eat tomorrow too but just saying, play your best guys at WR unless they're playing in 40mph winds in Chicago on Dec 27th against prime Darrelle Revis)

 

[JustinCruise]

I think davante parker is going to explode on Thursday. I have had him on my bench until now

Metcalf is a human cheat code.

Have you seen pics of this dude with his shirt off. I think we are talking about a future top 6 fantasy pick

I do prefer Lockett this season for ppr and find it strange he went an entire round later

 

[JustinCruise]

Giants signing freeman. He is already rostered in my league so i will have to target mike davis

 

[PatsFan1283]

Oh yeah, I look at that pic of him with his shirt off for atleast 5 mins a day while pretending I am Donald Sterling in the Clippers locker room circa 1985.

What a wild week with all these injuries. Had D Henry and Adams in DFS and got smoked. My season long team is somehow avoiding the injury bug though. Way league is designed w/ waivers I’ll never get a top priority though. It resets weekly in terms of record then pts.

Lol
i gotta get me a shirtless poster

 

[JustinCruise]

here's my squad for Rotowire Championship League. picked 8th, ppr, 3rr. only two teams go on to the big playoffs in this league. football guys "rate my team" gave me a B+ with a 65% chance to finish in the top 2. Overall I like this team and believe I have a shot at finishing top 2 again this year.

Starters

QB: Russell Wilson
RB: Kenyan Drake
RB: Chris Carson
WR: Davante Adams
WR: Allen Robinson
WR: Tyler Lockett
TE: Evan Engram
Flex: Anthony Miller
K: ka'imi Fairbairn
dst: Bills


Bench in no particular order
drew lock
chris thompson
latavious murray
tony pollard
allen lazard
dede westbrook
john ross
mohamed sanu
randall cobb
dallas goedert


What I like

I like to minimize risk in round 1 and Adams fits the bill. Loved getting Drake as the 5th pick in round 2. Josh jacobs and joe mixon both went before him and I have drake ahead of them. Carson in round 4 made my starting RB's a lot stronger than I thought they would after drafting Davante Adams in the first round. With both trubiskey and foles in chicago, Robinson has lower risk than most if the starting qb is hurt. One of the toughest decisions of the draft was choosing between him and Ju Ju in round 3. Ultimately went with what I felt was the safer pick albeit less sexy. OBJ went before robinson and i thought that was a poor choice. Would have loved to have golladay there but he went several picks earlier. Really like Russell Wilson, drafted him in the 7th. Their D is bad and they may let russ unleash it a little more this year. Also love his schedule. I like lockett as a wr3. Metcalf went a full round earlier so this was a value pick for me in the 5th. Bills D was the 7th off the board and I couldn't be happier with their early schedule. Drew Lock has a matchup at home against the dolphins in week 6 during Seattle's bye. I LOVE the potential home runs lying in wait on my bench. Latavious Murray and Tony Pollard are RB1's if the starter goes down. Dallas Goedert is instantly a top 5 TE if Ertz gets hurt. Every year I like to have a handful of these types of players on my bench.


What I dont like

Number one disappointment was not being able to cuff Drake. Someone took edmonds very early. I also had a couple players I really loved that I was not able to get. Daniel Jones is a guy I think finishes as a top 5 qb and I waited too long to get him. I wanted Higbee at TE but he went quick. Don't like engram at all. he is always hurt and has a crowded offense but he was a value pick as he fell much lower than expected. He went after higbee and hurst. Don't love my flex play with Anthony Miller. Just the way the draft fell I did not draft my flex spot until round 8. And I would have preferred some strong wr options on the bench. Some of the mid-late rounds didn't go my way as the WR I was targeting would go one pick before me.

After two weeks this squad is in second. Need to finish top 2 to make big playoffs. The first place team in this league is 9th overall in rotowire, he has scored almost 200 points per week. I was heading towards a total disaster until Wilson, Carson, Lockett combined for 90 pts.

Need to make sure D adams injury is something minor and this team should be just fine. Arob certainly needs to wake up though. I think with no Barkley Engram is going to become a big part of Giants gameplan. Will probably start going two tight ends, putting goedert in flex. Will be dropping Drew Lock this week.
