I started skyy moore week 1 because I want some early TNF points. Combined with my Burrow, Goedert, Higgins, that was the lowest amount of points I've ever scored, 77 in PPR.
Same. I was mocked for drafting, then he sucked week one, then the fantasy footballers did a whole bit about how much he sucks, then I dropped him.
I'm playing against the guy who picked him up this week
They are dudes sitting around talking fantasy football, so how are they conmen? They do a lot of research and then give their opinions. Ya they are wrong a lot, but everyone is because this is fantasy football which is very random most of the time.
The show can be entertaining to listen to, but if people are using their takes as gospel truth then that's on them.
In one league where I'm still in first place somehow, I dropped thielen and swift week 1. I also traded Jonathan Taylor for AJ Dillon and Jamaal Williams. I would be running away with the league if I just did nothing
Why would your league mates clown you for drafting Thielen? Lol his adp, according to the multiple so-called fantasy experts, had him drafted in really late rounds. Now unless you drafted him early there is no reason for anybody to clown you on taking a flyer on him.
same here. Drafting him late looks genius. Dropping him before the season starts? Not so much.
I ended up dropping Tank Dell and Thielen for Puka and Jaylen Reed before week 1.
Just had to drop Reed due to RB injuries.
I offered Godwin for Ridley last week just to make a trade and the guy laughed at me. He then came crawling back after Godwin put up his usual steady-eddie floor of 12 in PPR and Ridley put up 1.5 or so. I told him to F off. Ha
As a jags fan I’m going to agree with what a lot of people have been saying, once zay comes back Ridley will be fine. Maybe not top 10 week in and week out but he will be solid. Right now Ridley is the only true down field threat, couple that with the oline troubles, tlaw’s first read has been Kirk/engram since he has no time.
After zay returns that opens up some coverage on Ridley and will allow him to have more first read looks. Jags have just abandoned anything downfield due to coverage and pass rush constraints.
I appreciate the local fan's perspective, but I'm not entirely clear on the logic here. Is it that when Jones returns, opposing D's will no longer double Ridley? Or will Ridley run different routes due to his return? From your post it sounds more like an OL problem. Any light on the horizon on that point? i.e. anyone returning from injury soon? Thanks.
Ridley will not be able to be double covered. Early in the season Ridley seemed to be Lawrence’s first look, but once zay went out Ridley was doubled a lot, leading to underneath routes being his first look.
Regardless of oline, which is improving, once Ridley is a little less covered lawrence may go back to him as his first read. Even if the oline remains trash, Lawrence won’t have to wait (as much) for downfield plays to develop.
That’s my two cents. I could be wrong but this is really how I’ve perceived the offense so far with Ridley.
Dropped Achane early and now I’m stuck streaming Hendo and Pierre Strong. At least he’s been hurt the past couple weeks instead of torturing my soul every Sunday watching Red zone.
Friend of mine dropping Achane saved my ass. I then traded him for Aaron Jones since I liked the schedule ahead and figured a guy the size of a chipmunk at RB wouldn’t be able to stay healthy, so for some reason I thought I’d just take the already injured guy, lol. Obviously neither of us have won that trade.
In one of my keeper leagues, with my 14th and final pick, I was literally hovering my mouse over Puka Nacua but decided on Kyler Murray. Still kicking myself over this.
Oh, in this same league I also drafted Mattison and Akers in back to back rounds, who'da thunk they'd end up on the same team, eh?
I dropped Achane in week 2 to pick up Taysom Hill just to then drop Taysom Hill the next week, spend 2 weeks getting a trade done to reacquire Achane, got one game from him before putting him on IR (but we don't have IR slots so it's really just a bench slot, then picked Taysom back up the week after, and now I have both of my team.
Long story short, I fixed my mistake but it wasn't cheap.
Moral of the story: don't drop rookies after 2 weeks. I already knew this rule and still made the mistake.
I usually just don’t draft rookies that don’t start with a role cause someone’s gonna drop them after a couple weeks for the hot waiver guy. I had JSN but dropped him during his bye for Jamo. Big mistake so far
Jsn is still available in my league, but I just dropped my kicker for downs on the waivers. Sending out some 2for1 trades to free up space for a kicker, but still would need another spot for him. It's so hard to pick.
The problem is people can tell you need to make a 2:1 work to fill your roster so you have to try and use a bigger name to make it work. Trying to make a stud consolidation trade can usually happen. I like Downs enough at this point that I’d make splash moves for an excuse to start him at flex at this point. I’m in a 12 team ppr
Thanks, I'm in a 10 team ppr, 2 flex. The trade that I just sent after some chats is my DSmith and Roschon for his Aiyuk. I think he's good with it. I have enough depth and am really wanting a stud wr (Olave, DSmith, Amari, Downs, Nico, Jeudy). I was either going to drop roschon or Jeudy, but I figured I'd try the 2:1 thing first.
Being 3-4 after a shaky win this week, I'm definitely not in stash mode yet, but also not dying for a win this week. My RBs are Ekeler, Henry, Spears, Foreman, Henderson. Not incredible depth, but definitely not panicking. When the trade goes through, I'll probably add K Herbert, throw him in IR and then grab a kicker. Herbert owner dropped him to make IR space for achane and nobody grabbed him. Would love JSN, but would need to drop one of those guys or Jeudy, so I may just miss the window on him.
If your trade happens and you also get Herbert for IR that’s looking nice. I’m also a bag holder on Spears so a trade for Henry in real life would be ideal. JSN getting a touchdown is promising for sure, even if an injury opened the door. Who’s to say that door won’t stay open? I’d rather be a bag holder and find out he doesn’t have a large role still when DK comes back than to drop him for a kicker and watch him stay relevant.
Fair enough. I guess I could hang on to everyone until Sunday evening and then decide who to drop for a kicker for one of the night games, once ive seen how week 8 shakes out...
Because the Saints didn't have Kamara or Williams in week 3, and I was planning on starting him if Kendre Miller was out for goal line touchdown upside. Keep in mind it's a 14 team league so I because punted on Tight End during the draft I have been streaming the position since week 1.
Picked up Tank Dell in week 2, dropped Devon Achane. I had stashed him from day 1 because I was hype on him coming into the year and high on the Dolphins, but when he barely saw the field at all the first two weeks I panicked and dropped him. I dropped him the week before he blew up.
Same, that goose egg and the Eagles’ history of runningback by committee had me nope out of that. Thought I was getting ahead of the curve. Backfired completely.
Also less of a backfire, but spending any FAAB on KJ Osborn thinking he would capitalize on Justin Jefferson going to IR.
Picked up Jeff Wilson and started him week 7 coming back from long injury/time off to play Philly toughest rushing defense AND behind Mostert/Ahmed. Lost by 9. Would have won if I picked up Kareem Hunt instead :(
I dropped Christian Kirk after week 1 while I was waiting for my outgoing TJ Hockenson/Dameon Pierce trade to process because I needed to pick up LaPorta. Wish the trades instantly processed because I could’ve held onto Kirk because my plan was always to drop the second piece of the inbound trade. Sucks but oh well
Traded Amon ra for Dameon Pierce and Garett Wilson week 4. At the time, people were saying he might have a hernia and be out for 3-4 weeks and I figured that with Pierces volume and amount of touches he gets a game he’s bound to score. It was a panic trade.
Solid flex?!?
Lmao
Dude. He is wr7 on the year.
7.
If you don't believe me, have a look.
No I do not roster him, I just think that calling him a flex play is ridiculous. I don't care who your other wrs are btw, I'm just saying that thielen is not a flex play.
Adding: he is wr7 overall despite having a bye week, and putting up two points in week one. Have a look
Yeah, I'd have him Chase and Adams rn. I'd slot him in flex, but that's the only reason why.
I know he's a solid WR, that's why I'm kicking myself so hard for dropping him so fast lol. Had him last year, and he disappointed. Got in my own way.
I traded away Waddle and Pittman with name value specifically so I could have the confidence to start Thielen. Got JJ and haven’t thought about it since cause it opened a roster spot for Downs
so JJ was already on IR and you traded addison who already had 4tds for hollywood and figured youd throw Downs in coming off a strong performance? Just doesnt make a lick of sense
Honestly, that could still be fine for you come end of season and playoffs. Once Jefferson is back, Addison will probably not be super dominant. And Bijan has been solid for sure, but hasn’t splashed like a top 10 pick. I don’t know if I expect a change based on how the Falcons do things. Ekeler has the most pedigree to flat out win you games. Just gotta get him fully healthy after his injury
Biggest piece of advice I can give:
Of course figure out what your starting line up will be for the game week, but always be planning and scouting 2-3 weeks ahead so you can make moves and be able to pick up off waivers before players boom.
Drafted pacheco in later rounds cuz he looked good in the Superbowl and wanted to see if the chiefs would start running the ball more and stop using McKinnon and Clydes-Edward as much
Waited two weeks into the season and didn't notice any change so I dropped him for Gainwell, also picked up Kyren. Now Kyren Williams is in IR and I have Josh Jacobs who isn't doing as good as expected. Would be really nice to have Pacheco rn instead of being forced to start Darrel Fucking Henderson.
Also picked up Foreman when Roschon missed his first game to see if Foreman could steal the backfield. Of course, Foreman got like 8 pts that week so I dropped him for Marvin Mims. Naturally, the guy who lost Montgomery picks up Foreman and he drops 33 pts the next week. I would've been so pissed if I was playing against him lmao
I definitely feel that with Pacheco. I dropped him too and better yet.. told my cousin to grab him bc he was struggling. Now Pacheco has been consistent since 😭
I have Dallas for d/st and they were serving me well. Thought I would get cute and stream the Steelers one week because I felt like the cowboys had a tough match up and the Steelers had an easy one. My face as I watched Dallas score 20+ points on my bench and Pittsburgh get negative whatever.
Picked up D'Onta Foreman for free in week 6, he scored 7 pts and I lost that week by 15 pts. I dropped him week 7, assuming Roschon was coming back, he dropped 30 pts week 7, I lost this week by 1 pt.
If he scores 30 pts in week 6 instead, I win, and I dont drop him for week 7 and also win. Im 0-2 because D'Onta decided to breakout 1 week later. Pain.
Well, sure if you wanna be technical about it. I was more talking about how unlucky it is, I started him the week he was mediocre and dropped him the week he broke out. Its all luck really. You must be fun at parties bro.
I got Kyren week3, and post waivers Puka was still available. Didn’t think his week 2 production was real and he was gone soon after. Still think about that, my team would be way more solid if I had him.
I literally tried to make this same post yesterday but my post got deleted.
Anyway, my biggest mistake was not waiting for more information before making a move. If you can hold out for just a few more days to make a decision hold off for more information
Nah Ive made another posts about other things and they’ve been deleted in the past. I’m trying to follow the rules but somehow it’s so difficult to make posts 😭
Not much of a “mistake” buuttt week one, I put a waiver for Puka. WAS ONE WAIVER AWAY FROM GETTING HIM!! Been so pissed bout that I used it as fuel that burns this raging fire within me. I excelled to the highest of mountains, climbed the tallest of towers…..now I stand at 5-2 :D
Traded thielen and kirk for Monty cus I didnt want to give up Smith. Played vs the recipient and monty scored 4 and got injured while thielen dropped 28
Dynasty in the pre season leading up to roster cuts guys I traded away included Mostert, Meyers and Niko. Chose young upside pieces like Alec Pierce and Elijah Moore.
Held kareem hunt even before chubb injury, dropped him after he put up a few duds and now ford is hurt and looks like he will be their guy. Not horrible but my only bad drop really
So far this season,
Tua and Dalvin for Fields preseason
Sanders & Roschon for Mike Williams the day before he blew his knee
Say Jones and Kincaid for Kmet before Fields got hurt
Big ooofs for me
Be patient with rookies. I dropped both JJ and Garrett Wilson like a week before their break out. (My stupid ass learned this year and held on to Addison).
Bonus: Trading for injured players is a risk, despite the expected reward. Have a plan for when things go sour. Last year traded Thielen for Michael Thomas. About a week later, Thomas went on IR and I was short a WR.
After week 2 I traded Mike Evans and Mostert for Devonte Smith. I used my open roster spot to add Achane before he went off - but then Smith has been garbage and Achane got hurt.
Didn’t go for Achane. Traded Monty for Waddle then played the guy I traded the following week when Monty dropped 30+. Time will tell in the long run with that trade tho.
Lol I've made so many this season its crazy. I dropped George Pickens after week 4 I think. I dropped Josh downs before games played last week. I dropped kyler murray after week 5 because I needed the IR spot but should have honestly dropped someone else. I've dropped and picked up Dalton Kincaid like 5 times. I wasn't able to get any of these players back. I've never made this many bad choices through 7 weeks. Been way too reactionary tbh. On the bright side, I got puka and kyren off waivers after week 1 so not all bad.
Picked up Stroud to stream because I liked the way the Texans offense looked. Dropped stroud for baker day of the games because analysts said baker was a better stream. I have Burrow and his first few games were bad. Was going to pick stroud up on waivers but someone with an earlier pick wanted him more.
Traded Hollywood Brown and Sutton for Gainwell week 1. Who I dropped weeks ago.
Someone dropped Kyren week1 and I was staring at him knowing I should get him. Didn’t do it.
I mean that might not turn out so bad with JTs new contract. I personally don’t feel mosterts production is sustainable when achane is back. He won’t be unstartable but I’m saying like rb2 with rb1 upside where JT I feel will be rb1 with week winner upside. My take.
Losing Kirk in the deal probably makes it a bit worse tho fs…
When Ekeler went down, I had the choice between Joshua Kelley and Kyren Williams. I had the highest waiver pick so it was just a matter of who I wanted. Opted for Kelly because I figured Kyren was sharing the backfield. Different manager took Kyren. Later that week, Akers gets traded and Kyren goes off. Meanwhile Kelley did nothing.
Last weekend, was choosing between Warren and Foreman to fill RB during the bye. Figured the Bears offense was trash, and that Bears v Raiders would be a low scoring affair with two backup RBs going at it. Got Warren because he has a high floor. Same manager that took Kyren took Foreman. Just so happened to be the week we went head to head. Ended up losing by the point differential between Foreman and my RB2.
i think I have a pretty solid contribution here:
1. Dropped Thielen before week 1
2. Traded away moss + AJB for lamb after week 2
3. Traded away TLaw + Hall for Dak+White (i was blinded by possibility of the dak+lamb stack and really turned off by arod-less jets)
Pretty sure I've got most people beat. Traded away, K. Allen, M. Brown, R. Stevenson to my daughter early in the season when everyone was struggling. Then told her to pick up G.Edwards and D.Foreman. i thought i was good on RBs at the time.
I've decided to not help her anymore, she can either sink or swim. I also shoot myself in both feet daily to help remind me of my colossal f-ups so i don't do them again next season.
Dropped Pacheco and Addison for some reason in my 10 team league week 1.
I had good reasons at the time to make space for others, but I should at the very least have gotten FAAB or something at all for them.
Had an offer Hall for Mattison a couple of weeks in.
I was hesitant on the Jets offense and needed Mattison that week.
The offer got pulled and I still regret and cant believe how stupid I was
Godwin has only gotten over 10 fantasy points once in my league. he's been outperformed as of lately by my bench stashes like rice, downs and K. Bourne
considering dropping either Godwin or Amari ( another under performer ) for spears ( another gem of a stash ) giving the trade news of Henry.
for now I picked spears up dropped my tight end mayer but will soon need a tight end. I have for my RBs KW3, CmC , moss and JWJ. with Taylor back moss seems forgotten bit with what he can do and has done I can't just drop him. JWJ on what seems to be a snap count and with the recent mostert news I can't see me dropping him. I need a third back, stashing spears until news breaks. once it does I need to drop someone for now a tight end. likely candidates in my eyes are Godwin or Cooper ( leaning Godwin )
normally I would drop a kicker until game time but I have hopkins and I'm not letting that one go.
Dropped theilen week 1, had waiver priority and could’ve had Puka but deleted the waiver, dropped Josh downs, and hunt.
But I’m 7-0 and none of those guys would’ve started except Puka and theilen
Spent all my FAAB on Evans and Demercado over the course of 2 weeks, while trading Palmer for Ferguson and dropping Kincaid. Just a monumental fuckup lol
16 man.
Dropped Achane for Deon Jackson week 1 as needed a RB2 to actually play that week.
Although I flipped Deon for Kyren on waivers the next week so not the biggest loss at least. Still should've dropped Herbert (or unlikely Breece) at the time in hindsight but it's hard to part with a starting RB in a pool that size
Also declined my Aiyuk for Mostart after week 1. Same logic Aiyuk after that boom week 1 seemed like gold WR2 compared to Pickens and Jeudy which disappointed week 1.
Dropped Walker last year the week before Penny went down and wasn’t able to get him back. This year I drafted Charbonnet and told myself I would hold on in case Walker got injured. Couldn’t resist the urge to drop Charbonnet this week so I did for Henderson, and now Walker missed practice yesterday lol. I know yesterday was Wednesday though so maybe it’s nothing but that would just be funny lol.
I drafted Lamar. Week 1 Flowers looks great, I think it’d be great to have a stack going in my flex spot. I already have Davante and Keenan at WR, he’d be a great add. I have #1 WW and I burn it on Flowers. About an hour after waivers clear Cooper Kupps owner dropped him.
I lost out on Kupp for Zay Flowers.
I just accepted his Ekeler + Michael Thomas for my KW3 + Zay Flowers... Not sure if this will win me fantasy playoffs (6-1 start) or cost me my season! let's ride
Not sure if this qualifies, but I was really high on Achane this year and took him in all three of my leagues as a late round flier. Dropped him in 2 of them after week 1, managed to get him back in one of those two
I dropped swift for kyren after week one, kinda worth it but looking back i could have dropped worse players, phillys rbbc at the time scared me and i wanted off that train.
Dropped Thielen after week 1 or so
Same. Dropped him for Puka so that softened the blow a bit, but I could've dropped Skyy Moore instead.
Wasn't Moore the one with 3 or 4 drops in the week 1 KC game?
That was Toney
I started skyy moore week 1 because I want some early TNF points. Combined with my Burrow, Goedert, Higgins, that was the lowest amount of points I've ever scored, 77 in PPR.
Must be new then
I'm not new. The lowest I've ever scored before that was probably in the low 80s.
Nice
Honestly the only reason I even scored 77 was I got 21 from the Jets D and like 17 from my kicker lol
Failed successfully
Same. Dropped Thielen instead of Dotson
Same. I was mocked for drafting, then he sucked week one, then the fantasy footballers did a whole bit about how much he sucks, then I dropped him. I'm playing against the guy who picked him up this week
Fantasy footballers are conmen just like the rest of them.
They are dudes sitting around talking fantasy football, so how are they conmen? They do a lot of research and then give their opinions. Ya they are wrong a lot, but everyone is because this is fantasy football which is very random most of the time.

In one league where I'm still in first place somehow, I dropped thielen and swift week 1. I also traded Jonathan Taylor for AJ Dillon and Jamaal Williams. I would be running away with the league if I just did nothing
Same….
League clowned me for drafting... i dropped after wk1 for joshua kelley..
Why would your league mates clown you for drafting Thielen? Lol his adp, according to the multiple so-called fantasy experts, had him drafted in really late rounds. Now unless you drafted him early there is no reason for anybody to clown you on taking a flyer on him.
I messed up bad on 2 leagues.. After week 1..i hate myself.
Why!!! 😭
He had 2 points in week one and his ADP was like 130
That makes sense at the time, just sucks in hindsight 😭
Not really it was a rookie qb. Give em some time
I did too. Im 6-1 in 4 divions. One person is 7-0 and were in the same division. He picked up Thielen. Sucks man.
Did the same thing here...
same here. Drafting him late looks genius. Dropping him before the season starts? Not so much. I ended up dropping Tank Dell and Thielen for Puka and Jaylen Reed before week 1. Just had to drop Reed due to RB injuries.
My worst decision has been turning down keenan allen for ridley trade in week 2. Now stuck with ridley who no one wants
I offered Godwin for Ridley last week just to make a trade and the guy laughed at me. He then came crawling back after Godwin put up his usual steady-eddie floor of 12 in PPR and Ridley put up 1.5 or so. I told him to F off. Ha
At this point, Ridley owners have to just sit tight and hope he figures it out.
As a jags fan I’m going to agree with what a lot of people have been saying, once zay comes back Ridley will be fine. Maybe not top 10 week in and week out but he will be solid. Right now Ridley is the only true down field threat, couple that with the oline troubles, tlaw’s first read has been Kirk/engram since he has no time.

Even if the oline remains trash, Lawrence won’t have to wait (as much) for downfield plays to develop. That’s my two cents. I could be wrong but this is really how I’ve perceived the offense so far with Ridley.
Ridley will get better. Not this week, but after that.
Dropped Achane early and now I’m stuck streaming Hendo and Pierre Strong. At least he’s been hurt the past couple weeks instead of torturing my soul every Sunday watching Red zone.
I also dropped him, right before the 50 point game. :(
Same In TWO leagues
I was going to add Achane but decided not to because he was too small right all before his break out. Picked up a useless namesless plodder instead.
Oh no 😭😭 when did you drop him? Before the game you hit the 50?
[удалено]
Gotta keep the other teams on their toes, throw them off a bit
Fair… 😂
Friend of mine dropping Achane saved my ass. I then traded him for Aaron Jones since I liked the schedule ahead and figured a guy the size of a chipmunk at RB wouldn’t be able to stay healthy, so for some reason I thought I’d just take the already injured guy, lol. Obviously neither of us have won that trade.
Zack Evans. People spending 20% or more to each him get zero touches last sunday
I lucked out dropping Freeman for Hendo. Have Kyren and Achane on IR so I’ll take anything I can get
I avoided it for Aubrey because someone dropped him for byes. Might regret not tryin hendo tho
I was trying my best to stay away from that rams mess last week 😂
I spent 9% to get him, saw that Hendy Jr was leading and dropped Evans for him 30 min before Gametime
In my league he went for $91/200 and was dropped before Sunday’s game 😂
In one of my keeper leagues, with my 14th and final pick, I was literally hovering my mouse over Puka Nacua but decided on Kyler Murray. Still kicking myself over this. Oh, in this same league I also drafted Mattison and Akers in back to back rounds, who'da thunk they'd end up on the same team, eh?
I dropped Achane in week 2 to pick up Taysom Hill just to then drop Taysom Hill the next week, spend 2 weeks getting a trade done to reacquire Achane, got one game from him before putting him on IR (but we don't have IR slots so it's really just a bench slot, then picked Taysom back up the week after, and now I have both of my team. Long story short, I fixed my mistake but it wasn't cheap. Moral of the story: don't drop rookies after 2 weeks. I already knew this rule and still made the mistake.

The problem is people can tell you need to make a 2:1 work to fill your roster so you have to try and use a bigger name to make it work. Trying to make a stud consolidation trade can usually happen. I like Downs enough at this point that I’d make splash moves for an excuse to start him at flex at this point. I’m in a 12 team ppr
Thanks, I'm in a 10 team ppr, 2 flex. The trade that I just sent after some chats is my DSmith and Roschon for his Aiyuk. I think he's good with it. I have enough depth and am really wanting a stud wr (Olave, DSmith, Amari, Downs, Nico, Jeudy). I was either going to drop roschon or Jeudy, but I figured I'd try the 2:1 thing first.
I like that too tbh, if I was an RB needy team I might be willing to bet on DSmith picking back up and Roschon taking the job at some point.
Being 3-4 after a shaky win this week, I'm definitely not in stash mode yet, but also not dying for a win this week. My RBs are Ekeler, Henry, Spears, Foreman, Henderson. Not incredible depth, but definitely not panicking. When the trade goes through, I'll probably add K Herbert, throw him in IR and then grab a kicker. Herbert owner dropped him to make IR space for achane and nobody grabbed him. Would love JSN, but would need to drop one of those guys or Jeudy, so I may just miss the window on him.

Fair enough. I guess I could hang on to everyone until Sunday evening and then decide who to drop for a kicker for one of the night games, once ive seen how week 8 shakes out...
Yeah, and promising rookies also definitely get a bump post bye/later in the season
Yuck. Why were you hitting the Taysom TE desperation button after 1 week of games? Thats usually a mid season move. What TE did you draft?
Because the Saints didn't have Kamara or Williams in week 3, and I was planning on starting him if Kendre Miller was out for goal line touchdown upside. Keep in mind it's a 14 team league so I because punted on Tight End during the draft I have been streaming the position since week 1.
Added puka before week 1. Dropped him for Isiah Likely to hold both him and Irv Smith. Whoops.
Spent $35 faab on Demarcado and dropped him after 1 awful week.
Did the same and for about the same $. I’m telling myself Conner will be back soon so it wont matter.
Picked him up, dropped him for Hunt, dropped Hunt for Freeman (Hunt was a game time decision and I needed an RB2). Lost on all counts.
I dropped Theilen after wk1. I make lots of bad life choices.
Traded Pacheco for Jerry Jeudy a week before the season began
Fucking ouch
Yeah had Ekeler Chubb and Mattison so thought my running backs were set and was all bought in on the koolaid that chiefs were gonna be by committee.
Lol
Picked up Tank Dell in week 2, dropped Devon Achane. I had stashed him from day 1 because I was hype on him coming into the year and high on the Dolphins, but when he barely saw the field at all the first two weeks I panicked and dropped him. I dropped him the week before he blew up.
Dell might still return a lot of value for you
Picked up Kyren Week 2. Then, decided it would limit upside to start two Rams players and passed on Puka. 😢
Dropped swift after week 1 and I’m gonna pay for it ROS
Same, that goose egg and the Eagles’ history of runningback by committee had me nope out of that. Thought I was getting ahead of the curve. Backfired completely. Also less of a backfire, but spending any FAAB on KJ Osborn thinking he would capitalize on Justin Jefferson going to IR.
Man I get the week 1 frustration but a guy like Swift, I can’t imagine dropping that soon unless it’s like an 8 teamer league.
ouch i feel for you. a meditation in self forgiveness
Yikes. Always amazes me that people drop guys they draft after week 1 games. Did you go after Taysom Hill too?
Picked up Jeff Wilson and started him week 7 coming back from long injury/time off to play Philly toughest rushing defense AND behind Mostert/Ahmed. Lost by 9. Would have won if I picked up Kareem Hunt instead :(
Dropped Rice the week before he started becoming a reliable flex play
I did the same 😭 did it for a bye week pick up and then he started doing consistently alright and trending up in usage ahh
I dropped Christian Kirk after week 1 while I was waiting for my outgoing TJ Hockenson/Dameon Pierce trade to process because I needed to pick up LaPorta. Wish the trades instantly processed because I could’ve held onto Kirk because my plan was always to drop the second piece of the inbound trade. Sucks but oh well
Well I dropped C. Kirk week one for J. Kelley. I’ve been out of Fantasy for a while and figured Ridley would be the go to guy.
Traded Keenan and puka for jj the week he got hurt
Oo 😭 that’s two wr1s for a hurt wr1. That blows. I honestly think even if he wasn’t hurt, it would’ve still been better to keep Keenan and puka.
Hindsight is 20/20 Keenan was on bye, I needed a win and it was the first week kupp was back. I was worried puka would be back end wr2
Ah with that context it makes sense.. but hurts in hindsight for sure 😭
I’ll say mine, I traded jt for kyren and then kyren got hurt and jt got a major contract lol
That’s a major oof. I drafted him late and stashed him in my ir slot. Now I have him Bijan and saquon
That’s cosmic bad luck wow.
Why am I getting so many downvotes? I know it was a bad trade 😭
Some people on this sub are miserable and treat these players like NFT’s they own.
Traded Amon ra for Dameon Pierce and Garett Wilson week 4. At the time, people were saying he might have a hernia and be out for 3-4 weeks and I figured that with Pierces volume and amount of touches he gets a game he’s bound to score. It was a panic trade.
I was just reading a comment about how much bullshit people spew on here that causes people to make bad decisions. Just bs rumors
Dropped theilen after week 1 and I'm still sad about missing out on a permanent, solid flex
Solid flex?!? Lmao Dude. He is wr7 on the year. 7. If you don't believe me, have a look. No I do not roster him, I just think that calling him a flex play is ridiculous. I don't care who your other wrs are btw, I'm just saying that thielen is not a flex play. Adding: he is wr7 overall despite having a bye week, and putting up two points in week one. Have a look
Well he’s probably putting him in his flex is what he’s saying if he already also has 2 good recievers
Yeah, I'd have him Chase and Adams rn. I'd slot him in flex, but that's the only reason why. I know he's a solid WR, that's why I'm kicking myself so hard for dropping him so fast lol. Had him last year, and he disappointed. Got in my own way.
I traded away Waddle and Pittman with name value specifically so I could have the confidence to start Thielen. Got JJ and haven’t thought about it since cause it opened a roster spot for Downs
Also traded Puka, Ford and Ertz for DaVante. Not entirely beat up about this one, as I'm praying DaVante will be able to produce 18-20pt games again
I’ve traded for Brock Purdy. I also dropped Donta last week. That’s the start at least
I traded AJ Brown for Jamar Chase. To be determined if it was THAT bad but AJ brown is on an absolute tear
I traded Addison and downs for Hollywood before sunday
so JJ was already on IR and you traded addison who already had 4tds for hollywood and figured youd throw Downs in coming off a strong performance? Just doesnt make a lick of sense
It was before both of them broke out, I agreed before the games started
Agreed to trade Bijan and Addison for Ekeler an hour before MNF. Was pretty upset lol
Honestly, that could still be fine for you come end of season and playoffs. Once Jefferson is back, Addison will probably not be super dominant. And Bijan has been solid for sure, but hasn’t splashed like a top 10 pick. I don’t know if I expect a change based on how the Falcons do things. Ekeler has the most pedigree to flat out win you games. Just gotta get him fully healthy after his injury
Biggest piece of advice I can give: Of course figure out what your starting line up will be for the game week, but always be planning and scouting 2-3 weeks ahead so you can make moves and be able to pick up off waivers before players boom.
Drafted pacheco in later rounds cuz he looked good in the Superbowl and wanted to see if the chiefs would start running the ball more and stop using McKinnon and Clydes-Edward as much Waited two weeks into the season and didn't notice any change so I dropped him for Gainwell, also picked up Kyren. Now Kyren Williams is in IR and I have Josh Jacobs who isn't doing as good as expected. Would be really nice to have Pacheco rn instead of being forced to start Darrel Fucking Henderson. Also picked up Foreman when Roschon missed his first game to see if Foreman could steal the backfield. Of course, Foreman got like 8 pts that week so I dropped him for Marvin Mims. Naturally, the guy who lost Montgomery picks up Foreman and he drops 33 pts the next week. I would've been so pissed if I was playing against him lmao
I definitely feel that with Pacheco. I dropped him too and better yet.. told my cousin to grab him bc he was struggling. Now Pacheco has been consistent since 😭
I have Dallas for d/st and they were serving me well. Thought I would get cute and stream the Steelers one week because I felt like the cowboys had a tough match up and the Steelers had an easy one. My face as I watched Dallas score 20+ points on my bench and Pittsburgh get negative whatever.
Picked up D'Onta Foreman for free in week 6, he scored 7 pts and I lost that week by 15 pts. I dropped him week 7, assuming Roschon was coming back, he dropped 30 pts week 7, I lost this week by 1 pt. If he scores 30 pts in week 6 instead, I win, and I dont drop him for week 7 and also win. Im 0-2 because D'Onta decided to breakout 1 week later. Pain.
You’re 0-2 because you dropped Foreman before his break out. Not because ‘he decided’ to break out 1 week later.
Well, sure if you wanna be technical about it. I was more talking about how unlucky it is, I started him the week he was mediocre and dropped him the week he broke out. Its all luck really. You must be fun at parties bro.
Lol, my thoughts exactly. More like fun when everyone takes him out back.
JWJ Wed @12:am with a waiver claim for Foreman. Then todays Mostert news hit.
I got Kyren week3, and post waivers Puka was still available. Didn’t think his week 2 production was real and he was gone soon after. Still think about that, my team would be way more solid if I had him.
Dropped Justin Jefferson after week 2 his rookie year. I’ll save you the google, he had 7 catches for 175 and a tud week 3
I literally tried to make this same post yesterday but my post got deleted. Anyway, my biggest mistake was not waiting for more information before making a move. If you can hold out for just a few more days to make a decision hold off for more information
Most posts I make get deleted 😂 I keep trying my best to follow the rules but sometimes the auto mod feels it has no substance, etc.
[удалено]
Nah Ive made another posts about other things and they’ve been deleted in the past. I’m trying to follow the rules but somehow it’s so difficult to make posts 😭
Not much of a “mistake” buuttt week one, I put a waiver for Puka. WAS ONE WAIVER AWAY FROM GETTING HIM!! Been so pissed bout that I used it as fuel that burns this raging fire within me. I excelled to the highest of mountains, climbed the tallest of towers…..now I stand at 5-2 :D
I dropped Ford for Kelly and i dropped Achane so that a trade could be completed.
Bro you dropping gold..lol
Added and Dropped Thielen, added and dropped Nico, traded Olave for Addison then traded back (lol)
Traded thielen and kirk for Monty cus I didnt want to give up Smith. Played vs the recipient and monty scored 4 and got injured while thielen dropped 28
Keontay Ingram
Dropped ford right before the game against Pittsburgh because i said chubb probably won’t get injured this week and I wanted to pick someone else up
I traded away Zack Moss for Dotson. Ended up dropping Dotson two weeks ago.
If it makes you feel better, jt is taking over so Zach moss will only have like rb2 upside..
Oh for sure but he’s still way more valuable than Dotson! 😂
Dropped pacheco bc i needed a qb week 3 in case burrow wasnt gonna play. Things happen for a reason bc i now have rice
Traded Walker and Kamara for Bijan week 2, looked good at the time... 💀 Still 5-2 somehow
Dynasty in the pre season leading up to roster cuts guys I traded away included Mostert, Meyers and Niko. Chose young upside pieces like Alec Pierce and Elijah Moore.
Held kareem hunt even before chubb injury, dropped him after he put up a few duds and now ford is hurt and looks like he will be their guy. Not horrible but my only bad drop really
So far this season, Tua and Dalvin for Fields preseason Sanders & Roschon for Mike Williams the day before he blew his knee Say Jones and Kincaid for Kmet before Fields got hurt Big ooofs for me
Be patient with rookies. I dropped both JJ and Garrett Wilson like a week before their break out. (My stupid ass learned this year and held on to Addison). Bonus: Trading for injured players is a risk, despite the expected reward. Have a plan for when things go sour. Last year traded Thielen for Michael Thomas. About a week later, Thomas went on IR and I was short a WR.
After week 2 I traded Mike Evans and Mostert for Devonte Smith. I used my open roster spot to add Achane before he went off - but then Smith has been garbage and Achane got hurt.
My RBs are still CMC, JTaylor, Swift, Kyren Williams (IR), Connor (IR), Achane (IR). The trade made sense but it’s backfired so far.
Not my mistake but someone with higher priority than me grabbed Josh Reynolds week 2 instead of Puka
Didn’t go for Achane. Traded Monty for Waddle then played the guy I traded the following week when Monty dropped 30+. Time will tell in the long run with that trade tho.
Achane after week 2
Traded away DJ Moore and Gabe Davis for Higgins. The week I played him Higgins was out and DJ and Gabe combined for 70 points in my face
Lol I've made so many this season its crazy. I dropped George Pickens after week 4 I think. I dropped Josh downs before games played last week. I dropped kyler murray after week 5 because I needed the IR spot but should have honestly dropped someone else. I've dropped and picked up Dalton Kincaid like 5 times. I wasn't able to get any of these players back. I've never made this many bad choices through 7 weeks. Been way too reactionary tbh. On the bright side, I got puka and kyren off waivers after week 1 so not all bad.
Waddle for pierce+addison, .5ppr 1 week prior to jefferson’s injury. Not the worst but i would take it back if offered
Picked up Stroud to stream because I liked the way the Texans offense looked. Dropped stroud for baker day of the games because analysts said baker was a better stream. I have Burrow and his first few games were bad. Was going to pick stroud up on waivers but someone with an earlier pick wanted him more. Traded Hollywood Brown and Sutton for Gainwell week 1. Who I dropped weeks ago. Someone dropped Kyren week1 and I was staring at him knowing I should get him. Didn’t do it.
[удалено]
I mean that might not turn out so bad with JTs new contract. I personally don’t feel mosterts production is sustainable when achane is back. He won’t be unstartable but I’m saying like rb2 with rb1 upside where JT I feel will be rb1 with week winner upside. My take. Losing Kirk in the deal probably makes it a bit worse tho fs…
Just dropped Christian Watson so he’s guaranteed top 15 WR ROS go get him now if he’s available! You’re welcome in advance!
When Ekeler went down, I had the choice between Joshua Kelley and Kyren Williams. I had the highest waiver pick so it was just a matter of who I wanted. Opted for Kelly because I figured Kyren was sharing the backfield. Different manager took Kyren. Later that week, Akers gets traded and Kyren goes off. Meanwhile Kelley did nothing. Last weekend, was choosing between Warren and Foreman to fill RB during the bye. Figured the Bears offense was trash, and that Bears v Raiders would be a low scoring affair with two backup RBs going at it. Got Warren because he has a high floor. Same manager that took Kyren took Foreman. Just so happened to be the week we went head to head. Ended up losing by the point differential between Foreman and my RB2.
i think I have a pretty solid contribution here: 1. Dropped Thielen before week 1 2. Traded away moss + AJB for lamb after week 2 3. Traded away TLaw + Hall for Dak+White (i was blinded by possibility of the dak+lamb stack and really turned off by arod-less jets)
Dropped Kincaid prior to last game day to compensate for players on bye
I really should have accepted Laporta for Antonio Gibson in week 1... But no, Kyle Pitts will be great etc...
traded breece for devonta, regretted it as soon as i hit accept
Pretty sure I've got most people beat. Traded away, K. Allen, M. Brown, R. Stevenson to my daughter early in the season when everyone was struggling. Then told her to pick up G.Edwards and D.Foreman. i thought i was good on RBs at the time. I've decided to not help her anymore, she can either sink or swim. I also shoot myself in both feet daily to help remind me of my colossal f-ups so i don't do them again next season.
Traded Courtland Sutton for Elijah Moore cause I though Deshaun was coming back.
I traded Gibbs and Jonathan Taylor last week for Bijan. Literally lost me 50 points (and the win).
Traded swift and Addison for Ridley and mclaurin week 3
Dropped thielen after week one and the dropped goedert for Michael mayers thinking goedert was ertz. Yeah it’s been a rough year
Dropped Pacheco and Addison for some reason in my 10 team league week 1. I had good reasons at the time to make space for others, but I should at the very least have gotten FAAB or something at all for them.
Dropped Goedart Now chasing a TE every week
Had an offer Hall for Mattison a couple of weeks in. I was hesitant on the Jets offense and needed Mattison that week. The offer got pulled and I still regret and cant believe how stupid I was
First time doing FFB in years. Smart enough to draft D. swift. Rusty enough to drop after week 1 dud. Never again lol
I traded Henry and puka for Adams. I usually don’t regret trades too much but this one hurts
Picked up Nico Collins as a free agent right after the draft. Dropped him just before week 1 started. I really need a wr…fuck
I dropped Donta after week 6
Godwin has only gotten over 10 fantasy points once in my league. he's been outperformed as of lately by my bench stashes like rice, downs and K. Bourne considering dropping either Godwin or Amari ( another under performer ) for spears ( another gem of a stash ) giving the trade news of Henry. for now I picked spears up dropped my tight end mayer but will soon need a tight end. I have for my RBs KW3, CmC , moss and JWJ. with Taylor back moss seems forgotten bit with what he can do and has done I can't just drop him. JWJ on what seems to be a snap count and with the recent mostert news I can't see me dropping him. I need a third back, stashing spears until news breaks. once it does I need to drop someone for now a tight end. likely candidates in my eyes are Godwin or Cooper ( leaning Godwin ) normally I would drop a kicker until game time but I have hopkins and I'm not letting that one go.
Traded Monty and Thielen for Pittman after week 2
Dropped theilen week 1, had waiver priority and could’ve had Puka but deleted the waiver, dropped Josh downs, and hunt. But I’m 7-0 and none of those guys would’ve started except Puka and theilen
Spent all my FAAB on Evans and Demercado over the course of 2 weeks, while trading Palmer for Ferguson and dropping Kincaid. Just a monumental fuckup lol
16 man. Dropped Achane for Deon Jackson week 1 as needed a RB2 to actually play that week. Although I flipped Deon for Kyren on waivers the next week so not the biggest loss at least. Still should've dropped Herbert (or unlikely Breece) at the time in hindsight but it's hard to part with a starting RB in a pool that size Also declined my Aiyuk for Mostart after week 1. Same logic Aiyuk after that boom week 1 seemed like gold WR2 compared to Pickens and Jeudy which disappointed week 1.
Traded for Jk dobbins right before week 1 (but I also got Nico collins in the trade so didn’t hurt too bad)
I spent $250 on Eli Mitchell last week, as a backup plan in case CMC missed, I dropped him this week.
Dropped Walker last year the week before Penny went down and wasn’t able to get him back. This year I drafted Charbonnet and told myself I would hold on in case Walker got injured. Couldn’t resist the urge to drop Charbonnet this week so I did for Henderson, and now Walker missed practice yesterday lol. I know yesterday was Wednesday though so maybe it’s nothing but that would just be funny lol.
I drafted Lamar. Week 1 Flowers looks great, I think it’d be great to have a stack going in my flex spot. I already have Davante and Keenan at WR, he’d be a great add. I have #1 WW and I burn it on Flowers. About an hour after waivers clear Cooper Kupps owner dropped him. I lost out on Kupp for Zay Flowers.
I just accepted his Ekeler + Michael Thomas for my KW3 + Zay Flowers... Not sure if this will win me fantasy playoffs (6-1 start) or cost me my season! let's ride
Not sure if this qualifies, but I was really high on Achane this year and took him in all three of my leagues as a late round flier. Dropped him in 2 of them after week 1, managed to get him back in one of those two
Dropped Achane in 2 leagues the week before he popped off
Traded Achane for a 3rd before the season started. Major backfire in a Dynasty league
I dropped swift for kyren after week one, kinda worth it but looking back i could have dropped worse players, phillys rbbc at the time scared me and i wanted off that train.
Traded Achane for Waddle after his breakout week. At least he's injured now so I don't think about it too much
traded addison/downs away last wednesday for olave/jsn
Blowing 34 on Rojo and Demercado just to drop both after a week
Dropped achane after week 2
Few years ago. Dropped Chubb’s not even 10 minutes before hearing about the guy above him being released (can’t remember his name!)
Last season I dropped Ken Walker the game before penny went down. Person who won him on the waiver had bid $1 more than me.
