    Dumbest move you made last year...

    So be it. But I don't discount the 2017 season when I drafted Cook and he missed almost the entire year with a torn ACL.

    Pee-aw you conveniently left out where Coon missed almost his entire rookie season in 2017 with a torn ACL.

    Yes, it is a dynasty league. So those players were acquired over some years.

    If you go back an re-read the very first sentence, it begins "Leading up to my draft." So, no, Swift had not yet been drafted at the time I made the trade.

    Leading up my league's draft, I wanted to be a viable player but had nothing better than a 4th round pick. So I traded an injury-prone (in my mind) Dalvin Cook for Kerryon Johnson plusI a 2nd round pick. I remembered Johnson being a stud at Auburn and thought he could replicate that in Detroit. I remember feeling guilty that I had duped the guy so bad. Not so much after the season started. Oh well, I still won the league having Mahomes, Kamara, D. Henry, Evans, Tyreek, M. Thomas and Kelce. Imagine having Cook along with all that? Kerryon never started for me after Week 1.

    Where's the week 11 FU thread?

    FU Deshaun Watson. Supposed to have a shootout with Baltimore. Instead the bed. Cost me a regular season championship (2K) and might fall from 1st all the way to 5th and not even make the playoffs.

    I finally dropped _____ and it feels great

    Jordan Reed. And Jimmy Graham is next. Two former game-changers.

    Mike, please kick me out. Better yet, I will do it for you.

    My apologies. I thought this was a place for fantasy football discussion. Not a hangout for juvenile dumbasses.

    G-Men: P-L-E-A-S-E don't pull a "Browns"-type move ..

    Regarding Barkley being a top pick, you see some really good players there and you also see some major busts. Reggie Bush was #2 overall, Ronnie Brown was #2, Benson was #4, McFadden was #4 overall and so on. RIchardson, Moreno, Cadilac WIlliams, Spiller, and Stewart all were pretty much busts. I would argue that 9 of the 16 underperformed their draft position or were a complete bust. More than 50%. Barkley is not truly a can't miss prospect, but recency bias and the news media make him out to be one. I know it seems like everyone on the planet loves Barkley, but not everyone does. From CollegeFootballMetrics.com round table: "We love salivating over his size, his otherworldly strength, and his game-breaking speed, but it hasn't translated well on the field. He's gym strong but not football strong, and he does so much dancing, bouncing, stopping, and lateral moving that he renders himself unable to transfer all that size and speed to power ala Todd Gurley. Looks like Tarzan, rushes like Jane. 230 pounds but stylistically and physically runs like he's 190. Basically Reggie Bush circa earlier years before figuring out how to run hard and between the tackles like a normal back." "Cast aside Saquan's big runs for a moment and focus your attention on the other 95% of his attempts. When doing so, we see that that other 95% resulted in 2.1 YPC across 9 of 13 games last year, and it shows itself on tape. Truly generational caliber backs aren't that inconsistent (to put it nicely). Saquon is like a siren, drawing us in and mesmerizing us with some highlight reel runs and his impressive Olympian body, all while distracting us from what's occurring the majority of the time, and that's inefficiency. He's all athlete at the moment, essentially a neophyte as a running back.... and that gets slapped with the proverbial BOOM-BUST label for me."

    FU Thread Semi-Finals edition

    FU to me for talking myself out of starting Shepard because of his headaches and bad hammy last week and because I read somewhere that D. Henry was going to blow up against the 49ers. Kept me from having a 200+ week and climbing into the Top 40 of a $250,000 1st prize contest. Not even the joy of having Hunt & Gurley this week can take the bitter taste out of my mouth.

    Dude's I will never draft again after this year

    Jordan Reed.

    This is what kills a league - Commish's take note

    Meh. Locals gonna local. We all started somewhere. Play pro FF where trading isn't allowed. Every man for himself.
  16. I've got both, and with Watson playing cupcake Cleveland at home and Rodgers playing at tough-defense Minnesota, I can't make up my mind.
  17. KingOfTheJungle

    Seems crazy to ask, but start Rodgers or Watson?

    After much deliberation, I decided Rodgers was the safer pick. I was wrong and I lost. But at least I still have Watson going forward, so my season isn't over. Others who think it's taboo to roster 2 QB's and have lost their guy are not as fortunate this morning. I know. I'm out there pilfering through the trash with them to try and find someone to start on Watson's bye week.

    NFFC ... no trading in these leagues.

    BTW, this is a 2K ante league and I am tied for 1st at 4-1.

    I love Rodgers more than the dog in the commercial. That's why I spent a high draft pick to grab him as the first QB off the board. But I'm asking about this specific weekend ... Rodgers is playing at Minnesota, where he was held to just 212 last year, and has done even worse in the past there. Meanwhile, Watson (who I spent my 20th and final pick on) has back-to-back 5 TD games and is playing at home against Cleveland! It if weren't for these two extreme scenarios I wouldn't even be asking. Just wondered what you experts thought.

    Draft tonight, 10 team, Zeke at 10th pick?

    How you like me now?
  22. KingOfTheJungle

    For those that drafted Zeke...

    10-team PPR this afternoon. 1.02 - D. Johnson 2.09 - E. Elliott 3.02 - D. Hopkins 4.09 - D. Cook 5.02- L. Fitzgerald 6.10 - J. Graham 7.02 - J. Winston 8.10 - D. Henry 9.02 - J. Crowder 10.10 - Z. Jones 11.02 - M. Bennett 12.10 - D. McFadden 13.01 - P. Rivers 14.10 - K. Wright 15.02 - DEF 16.10 - K This is a penny ante local league. I drew #2 in two of my three big cigar leagues, PLUS this one. I didn't want to be married to Bell in 3 out of 4 leagues and since this one is for not much more than funzies, I was going to draft Zeke at #2 and try to make the playoffs anyway. Instead I ended up with the best player in the league PLUS Zeke in the 2nd round. BTW, should getting #2 three times be considered good luck or bad luck?
  23. KingOfTheJungle

    Bell or Brown at #2?

    12-team PPR re-draft league. My gut says Bell, but how much will rust affect him and expose him to injury?
  24. KingOfTheJungle

    Draft tonight, 10 team, Zeke at 10th pick?

    In a 12-team PPR high stakes (1,750) draft last night, he went #6. FWIW, I say he doesn't miss a single game this year.
