kilroy69 995 Posted October 28, 2019 How many of you have hit the optimal lineup this year? I have danced around it today. I had 2 players I could have swapped out that would have accounted for 65 points. The others performed above their bench counterparts. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AxeElf 787 Posted October 28, 2019 It's not absolutely optimal, but this team did pretty well today... Deshaun Watson 27.8 Devonta Freeman 16.2 Chris Carson 15.0 Mike Evans 42.8 Cooper Kupp 35.0 Julian Edelman 27.5 Austin Hooper 18.5 Harrison Butker 5.0 Patriots DST 20.0 Total: 207.8 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TheUsualSuspect 207 Posted October 28, 2019 (edited) If given the chance, I would have wagered 1:1 that Axe Elf would be the first to respond to this one.. Edited October 28, 2019 by TheUsualSuspect Correction 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TheUsualSuspect 207 Posted October 28, 2019 Evans, Freeman, Edelman have been trash all season. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AxeElf 787 Posted October 28, 2019 39 minutes ago, TheUsualSuspect said: You put enough up against the wall, I couple will stick. I think that's the motto of people who try to create the illusion that they're almost as good as Axe Elf... Get a lot of leagues, draft a few copies of every player, and then trot out the teams that succeed, while ignoring the majority that fail. Axe Elf's motto is that the best investment strategy is a highly UNdiversified portfolio--when you are right (and being Axe Elf, that part isn't a problem). So instead of drafting a few copies of a myriad of players and dominating a few leagues, Axe Elf drafts a myriad copies of a few players--and dominates across the board. To extend your analogy, while others are throwing as many against the wall as they can to find out which ones stick, Axe Elf only throws the ones that will stick against the wall in the first place.

kilroy69 995 Posted October 28, 2019 the optimal lineup for me would have been TY Hilton and Josh Jacobs sitting while starting Coleman and Alex Ericson. Those 2 moves would have put me at 290 points for the day. As it is the spread between me and my opponent is bigger than what 4 teams in the league scored this week(143) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ehlana 25 Posted October 28, 2019 Not this week I didn't. Tevin Coleman on the bench in both leagues. Whoops. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
oldtimer 84 Posted October 28, 2019 I made some blunders this weekend as well. I had a choice between Danny Amendola and Erickson on the WW as I needed a bye week fill-in guy. I went with the smart move and picked up Ginn instead of the two obvious choices, thinking Brees may want to show off and throw a couple deep passes. Great decision on my end. In the end, my opponent did start the ultimate lineup and I need the biggest game from a WR in the history of the NFL tonight to win. Not. Going. to. happen.

RareN64Dream 9 Posted October 28, 2019 This was my line up in one money league; did pretty solid. QBs- Watson 29 points, Rodgers 30. RB- Derrick Henry 6, Tevin Coleman 39. RB/WR- David Montgomery 25. WR- DJ Moore 8, Terry McLaurin 7, DJ Chark Jr 19. WR/TE- Chris Godwin 10. TE- Irv Smith Jr 5. Flex- Curtis Samuel 8. Broncos D/ST- 9. K- Jason Myers 14 Got Lamar Jackson, QB, Kyler Murray, QB, Ezekiel Elliott, RB, DeSean Jackson, WR, Marquise Brown, WR, Jimmy Graham, TE and Matt Prater, K on the bench this week. Mike Evans, Cooper Kupp, Julian Edelman, Austin Hooper and Pats defense would have been helpful, but oh well. 209 total points. Record will be 5-3 after this week, unless James Conner, RB and Preston Williams, WR put up 82 points combined. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
