Fantasy football 2016

Aaaargh! Delanie Walker is running wild -- 100 yards and a TD in the first half.

 

I cut Willie Snead to pick up Kapri Bibbs.
Bibbs' "significant number of touches" so far is five carries and one target through three quarters.
Snead has two touchdown receptions, his first since Week 2.
God, I hate fantasy football.

 

Sorry, dude. I tried to drop Bibbs at halftime but Yahoo won't let me. Turns out I should have started anyone on my bench over Bibbs. Asshole.

 

Thankfully, Richard Matthews is picking up some of the slack for me with 15 points coming off the waiver wire to fill a slot during Crabtree's bye week.

Last night before the deadline, I picked up Fitzgerald for Zach Miller and Tyrod Taylor (it's a keeper league). I'm pretty stoked about my lineup moving forward next week, with all my byes behind me. I'm going to be rolling out Brees, Fitzgerald, Crabtree, Bell, Gore, Gronkowski, Justin Tucker and the Baltimore D in that league.

 

That's fantasy football, man.
Adding insult to injury, I left Kyle Rudolph (6 catches, 69 yards and a TD) on my bench to put Bibbs in the lineup.

 

I grabbed Bibbs the other day but there was no way I was going to start him. Basically just a stash if something happens to Booker. Then again, my RBs didn't do too much (Freeman, West), but I have a lead over the first place team - I'm in fourth. I also have Rudolph on my bench, but Gates is doing okay and I have Eifert and Green going tomorrow night.

Grabbed Flacco to start at QB with Carr and Taylor on byes. He did well.

 

I started Bibbs because the Saints' defense was ass and I had a hole in the lineup because of a bye week. Figured he'd get some targets in the passing game and maybe a touchdown, so I put him in a flex spot. Snead and Rudolph haven't done a whole lot, so why not?
Luckily, it doesn't look like it made a difference since my opponent's team sucked ass today. I'm up 25 points and still have Gronk to play against Brandon LaFell and Martellus Bennett. I'm feeling pretty good about those odds.

 

Got to agree with those odds, Batman. I had thought about starting him thinking the exact thing, but with already playing West on Thursday I wasn't too keen on sitting Freeman or putting him in the flex. Bibbs did look good when he touched the ball, but Denver's offense wasn't exactly humming like I thought it would.

 

I lost the week because Antonio Brown got 55 meaningless yards in the final 9 seconds of the Steelers-Cowboys game. Ugh.

 

Same here. I had Gore on the bye and my other option was Yeldon. Yeldon was a safer play - he's good for 8-10 points every week, so his floor is decent, but he just doesn't have much upside - but I liked Bibbs matchup with NO and the upside that came with it.

Though Gronkowski didn't do much last night, he's got me 40 points ahead with my opponent playing Eifert tonight. Bell carried me pretty well this week with 35 points and Brees rebounded nicely from a -2 first half to finish with 25 points for me.

In my other league, I've extended my winning streak to nine in a row. Lost week 1 and have been pretty dominant since. If I can find a way to win next week with Ryan, Jones and Freeman on a bye, I will lock up the top seed. I'll be at least two games up with two to play and holding a significant points advantage.

 

That last Elliott TD won my game in my work league for me.

In my other league, I won with 114 points. I had 133 points on my bench. It was insane.

 

In one of my two leagues (the one neither I nor apparently anyone else wanted to be in) my opponent this week ghosted long ago. Josh Brown is her kicker, starting backfield of Eddie Lacy and Arian Foster, Golden Tate on bye, etc. But it has a goofy setup that wildly inflates point totals for big games. So thanks to Aaron Rodgers (93 points!) she leads 119-100, with only AJ Green left for me.
