    Gonna lose one matchup by .14 points thanks to Allen’s 3 TOs, and if Sutton gets 4 more points I’ll lose that matchup by 1. Really looking forward to getting double fucked here.

    Josh Allen fucked me good tonight. Gave the broncos the ball in great field position all night and decided to hardly ever look diggs way.

    I’ve cost myself two games by trading for diggs now. Playoff chances starting to get dicey.

    Offered the last place team a trade, Pollard and a 4th-round pick for Breece Hall and his 8th-round pick (we are at the end of our keeper cycle and dude is in last place, figured I would need to give him a draft upgrade as a sweetener).
    He rejected it and comes back with Hall and Marquise Brown for Pollard and Nico, with no draft picks.
    With Nico's soft-tissue injury and Tank looking like the favorite new guy in Houston, plus Kyler back to throw to Brown, and not having to give up a pick, I couldn't hit accept fast enough

    I needed 25 from Kincaid and Javonte to win 1 league, and got it on the Javonte TD.

    I needed Diggs to have less than 5.2 to win in another league and he finished with 4.9.

    That game was hilarious.

    Update to the update. The fucking league vetoed the trade. This is the first veto I can remember in a several seasons. Im pretty pissed. We re-did the trade and I included Flowers. If that gets nuked im going to be irate.

    In other news - what DST do we like to stream this week?

    Lions vs Chi
    Chargers vs GB
    Texans v ARI
    Commanders v NYG
    Vikes vs Broncos

    I drafted him and he sat on my bench all year until last week when I needed to start him in a bye week. Came through big time. Love this development. But also dont love the matchup for this week vs Cleveland

    10-0 and secured a bye week in the playoffs already (#2 is 9--1 and then the next five teams are 5-5) :smugdog:

    need a D/St for the last two rounds of the playoffs, though

    Right now I'm starting Joshua Kelley vs GB as my RB 2 with JT, Kamara, and Moss on a bye (Ekeler is my RB1). I have $0 FAB so I anticipate I'll miss out on Darrell Henderson and Ty Chandler, hoping for McKinnon or maybe even Rico Dowdle (Sun was the first time this year he had gotten over 7 carries lol).

    I think teams are running against GB at the highest rate vs any other team in the league, so maybe I just say screw it and hope Kelley gets some extra carries and breaks one. Either way it's looking bleak.

    I wouldn’t have vetoed the trade bc I don’t believe in vetoes but that was a complete rip off unless you have scoring that heavily favors a qb. Even dobbs and flowers for Gibbs is kind of a rip off for standard ppr scoring imo

    Traded Saquon away for Sutton

    - My WR are pretty bad, Sutton is actually an upgrade if he and Russ keep cooking.

    - Saquon still has his bye week. Tough playoff schedule if I actually get there. Giants are trash.

    This is the reverse of what I’m trying to do. I have Davante Adams, Garrett Wilson, Mike Evans, Amari Cooper, and Gabe Davis. I can only play three of them and desperately need a 3rd RB because Rhamondre is on a bye and my best RB2 option is D’Onta Foreman.

    This is what I'm looking at on a Tuesday night for my 20-man roster best ball league.

    Please pick the 3 best backup/handcuff/shit-tier RBs from this list, for the remainder of the year, listed in no particular order:

    RB DEN McLaughlin
    RB KC McKinnon
    RB TEN Spears
    RB PHI Gainwell
    RB LAR Henderson
    RB MIN Chandler
    RB DAL Dowdle
    RB LAC Kelley

    Thanks.
    I have Spears, McLaughlin, and McKinnon.
    Chandler and Henderson are no longer available as of this morning.
    Dowdle, Gainwell, and Kelley are available.

    I've had my eye on Dowdle and Gainwell for a bit, feel like they could put up some points if the opportunity arises late this season. But I kinda feel the same about McLaughlin and McKinnon. Wish I had a bigger roster.

    Into the three I picked have the highest ceilings if their starter goes down. McKinnon isn’t a bad choice. He can rack up TD and PPR

    With Deshaun going down a guy in my league has lost Rodgers, Richardson, and Deshaun.

    If I offered him Stroud and James Conner for Swift which side of the trade would you take. Also who would get mad at me when Stroud gets hurt.

    Depends on roster, but in a vacuum, probably Stroud/Connor. Stroud is balling out and they force feed Conner plus Kyler beign back should make things easier on him. On the swift side- he seems so boom or bust. Plus he doesnt get a lot of goal line touches.

    I have Hurts and Devonta. I end up watching a lot of the Eagles. Hurts steals so many goal line TDS. Definitely has good matchups down the stretch

    But as I said with your roster, its probably a good move. Who are his other RBs?

    Picked up Ty Chandler on waivers, thinking about starting him against Denver instead of Pacheco against Philly. Pacheco hasn't done much even in good spots lately and Philly is murder against the run.

    Was able to get through the first ten games of my superflex league at .500 with just an atrocious QB situation. Drafted Richardson and Pickett early. Kyler late. Was forced to start Zach Wilson for several weeks. Traded LaPorta for Howell about a month ago and with Kyler back, things are finally looking up. Having shitty QBs in a 2 QB league is the fucking worst.

    You should be ok with Achane coming back.

    You could either find someone that is desperate for a QB and flip Kyler and one or your WRs for an upgrade at WR. Or shoot for the moon and offer Hurts for a top end RB1 or WR1 plus a throw in.

    The latter is riskier, but also maybe easier to pull off. Kyler is good enough to run with as your QB. The upgrade at the other position could be big
