I started rivers, got me 0.87. Got crushed by the last place team
In my league Rivers was worth NEGATIVE 0.80. Meaning I could have started no one and done better. I mean, I expected him to have a sub-par game, but to me that meant 12-15pts.
I am also playing a terrible team. Currently losing 52-62 (!) and I have two guys active (Moncrief and Vinatieri) to his Bradshaw and Randle. Since Moncrief is basically getting no looks, I'm pretty much done. With 3 of my top players on bye and with no QB points I shouldn't even be this close.
The only good news for the week is that I should end up winning 6 of 7 DFS contests on DraftKings. * Not sure why but my daily games tend to run opposite of my season long team.
I say 'should win' because I need Randle to get .04 more points to get the 6th win which he so far hasn't managed to do in the whole 3rd quarter!
QB - Weeden
QB - Roethlisberger
RB - Murray
RB - Forsett
WR - Jeffery
WR - Benjamin
TE - Thomas
Flex - Decker
DST - Lions
Kicker - Nugent
Bench: Romo, Cleveland D, Garcon, Fred Jackson
Planning on dropping Nugent to grab Mason Crosby again. Dropping Cleveland D for AP (some reports are coming up saying he might be available to play in fantasy playoffs). Might put in a bid for Sanchez dropping Weeden.

I think you are wasting a spot on AP, I highly doubt he plays again this season. I think you'd be better off picking up Joseph Randle in case Murray gets hurt - note that right now you have nobody to play in case of injury to either of your RBs.
I think Sanchez would be an upgrade to Weeden, but then again so would almost every quarterback in the league.
Adrian Peterson is now suspended for the rest of the season, though I am sure he will appeal. Still pretty unlikely he sees the field this year.
So yesterday I was on the cusp of locking up a playoff spot, playing against a 3-7 team. I went in down two but with Sankey and the Pittsburgh defense to go. Started off great as each of them had a TD in the first 10 minutes. Then my opponents last player - Le'Veon Bell, just kept getting handed the ball. Over and over and over and over and... sigh.
Tilted I dropped mike Evans early in the season after drafting him late. In my league you lose keeper status when he hits the waiver. Might be the best we in a couple years
Any advice for me? I need to make a pickup for this week.
Non-PPR. Kelvin and Martavis Bryant on Bye means I have a hole in my roster at W/T (we don't need to play a TE)
Which of these FA should I pick up? Would you lean towards one of the TEs or one of the WRs?
Options include:
Decker @ Buffalo
James Jones vs KC
Baldwin vs Arizona
Harry Douglas vs Cleveland
Colston vs Baltimore
Hogan vs. Jets
Coby Fleener vs Jacksonville
A. S-J @ Chicago (I am likely streaming McCown this week also)
L. Donnell vs Dallas
Charles Clay @ Denver
There are obviously a bunch more options but those ones are sort of a shortlist. I'm kind of leaning towards going with ASJ just because Chicago's defense is particularly terrible vs TEs but Fleener had a big week last week and is up against Jax.
Sucked balls. Oh well other than Colston I think they all did didn't they lol
Yeah they pretty much all weren't very good. I actually changed my mind and went to Decker at the last minute. He wasn't good but scored 6.3pts.
Didn't matter anyway, as I had scored 94 points and secured victory even before Monday night's games - when I still had Orton (24.5pts) and Decker left to play!
This glorious victory clinched me a playoff spot and leaves me in 2nd place. A win in week 13 and I'll be in 1st or 2nd and in possession of a critical first round bye.
I needed 2 points out of last nights game, with villain fully booked and the hero with Shady McCoy.
Eagles have the ball on the 1yd line on 3 unique possessions and go Polk/Polk/Sproles.
FML.
I'm the other kind.
In my big money league I thought I was screwed when Charles posted 5 points. He had a 40 point lead with McCoy and I had Murray and Romo with Graham going tonight. Shock of shocks, all I need is 1 point from Graham and I'm in the finals for the 2nd straight year.
In my mid money league I earned a finals berth thanks to another stellar performance from Le'veon Bell and OMG ODB Beckham.
I ended up needing Brees to outpoint Graham by 55 to win.......needless to say....outski
Still going strong in my accumulative point league, sitting 2nd riding Charles and Bell hopefully to the promised land.....more money in this one anyhow.

Yea, same. Cumulative points leagues are so much more satisfying than the H2H leagues. As an example: My team of:
Romo
McCoy
L Bell
Jordy
Antonio B
TY Hilton
Lost to:
Brady
Jonas Gray
Jonathan Stewart
Gronk
Torrey Smith
DeAndre Hawkins

DK contests. Double ups or others? That's pretty sick 6/7
AP still has to get cleared by the league, THEN the Vikings have to be ok taking the PR/Sponsor hit of actually playing him.
5 of my matches were Headsup, one was a 50/50. The only one I didn't cash in was the large field tourney. Makes me wish I was playing higher stakes.
With the trade deadline past, I doubt we see him this year, and he gets dealt in the offseason.
I ended up picking up Tre Mason and Josh McCown, both of whom I'm not overly excited about.
What do you guys think of a Jeffery for Mike Wallace trade? Their playoff schedules look like this:
Jeffery - vs Dal, vs NO, vs Det
Wallace - vs Bal, @NE, vs Min

No more Blount hawking his goalines either!

Now, is there any chance for a miracle win by me?
If so, how? (fix my roster)
really have no idea how he has such a rediculously stacked team
I need a miracle too. Which in my case is stl DST. Go rams
Omg. That team is insane. Wow.
I'd probably play Herron over Watkins and then close my eyes and pray.

I like ur chances, as long as Thomas actually plays some snaps this week. Think Benjamin has a big week for you.
Good luck! I think you have a pretty good chance, actually.
