  1. I'd like to submit six votes for Kamara.  SIX! That's how many single digit (non-ppr) fantasy points games he turned in out of the ten games he played.  Then he had two with 10 points and one with 13 and only one in excess of 20. Oh yeah, and he missed 4 games so provided zero points for 25% of the season. First or second overall draft pick in many leagues? BUST of the year!!!!!!

    But Kamara is not a bust.  He has underperformed and got hurt.

     

    You know who is a bust?  David Johnson

     

    He got dropped in my redraft.  I'm starting Kamara confidently. 

    Shake your confidence at all today?

  3. He is no longer a must start in any format. If you have other viable options like Royce Freeman, Duke Johnson or Ronald Jones, you are advised to leave him on the bench. Or just cut him outright and stop fooling yourself!

  4. In an 8 team, yes that's very believable.  In 8 team leagues, every team should be stacked with high performers. And it would therefore be a crap-shoot as to who would or wouldn't make the playoffs. 

  5. Bust or not, I'm thinking about benching him for the first week of the playoffs this week. He's had 7 games with 10 points or less in standard and only two scoring more than 12. I have to ask myself, "what is most likely to happen this week against SF. Going to roll with Ingram, Gordon and Aaron Jones for my two RB'S and flex.

  6. I'm missing Davante Adams, Aaron Jones, Chris Carson, Evan Engram, Jamal Adams. But was able to land Brian Hill and Hollywood. And hoping Lamar puts up a career day. Still, I don't expect to win against the other strongest team in the league which is at full strength.

    i don't know - if you take away a few big plays by mccaffrey and then factor in that cook typically gets hurt - then you realize there are no RB1's any more.  it's like they went extinct.  probably tied to global warming

    Hence the wisdom in the zero RB1 strategy. 

  8. This settles it for me. My RB2s seem to score more points than my RB1s. And in our league, scoring more points is a good thing. Next year I'm going to skip over RB1s and only draft RB2s. Even in the first round I'm going straight to the RB2s. Heck, I might even invent a new draft strategy. The zero RB1 strategy.

  9. Don't remember what year it was. Just that it was before Al Gore invented the internet. We had to look up the stats in the Tuesday morning paper.  It was touchdown and field goal scoring only and I had the first pick. I chose Kurt Warner back when he was leading the greatest show on turf. I think I finished 3rd that first year. It hooked me and I've been in 2 leagues ever since.

  10. What constitutes a RB1?  If he finishes the year ranked in the top 12, was he then a RB1 for the season? Top 10?  Right now he is ranked #4 in my non PPR league. If the top 10 or 12 don't necessarily translate as RB1's, then we must assume that a number of teams in every league are prohibited from having a RB1 simply because of their draft slot. Where is the cutoff for RB1s?

  11. My philosophy is to try to have every position in my lineup ranked in the top 10 and as many as possible in the top 5. I have found that to be a winning strategy. Week to week consistently.  Patriots D checks both boxes. As the no. 1 rank in a single player slot in my lineup,  it makes no sense for me to trade them away unless I have a glaring substandard slot and I can get a top 10 in that weak slot and still have a top 5 in my DST slot.  NE DST is not just good because they have played weak teams. They are just good. And that is exactly what I want on my fantasy teams.
