Wk 7 WW: so many teams on BYE..

Recommended Posts

If I'm going to even field a full roster - I'm going to need to do at least 2 transactions: QB and KCR.  Will also likely try and upgrade a WR (vs. Amon-Ra @ Rams..).

 

QB: between Garappolo and J. Winston.  I'm leaning towards Jimmy G.

 

KCR: between TB home vs. CHI, or CIN @ BAL.  Leaning towards TB KCR (Cincy only scored 3 points in EACH match up vs. BAL L/Y..).

 

WR2:  VERY slim pickings on the WW..  CLE D. Peoples-Jones home vs. DEN, WAS D. Brown @ GB, NE K. Bourne home vs. NYJ, or KC D-Rob vs. TEN.  I'm leaning towards D-Rob.  BY FAR the easiest matchup.

You think you have problems...

My Team of Extraordinary Genitals will have every player on bye in Week 7:

Dak Prescott, Kirk Cousins
Ezekiel Elliott, Najee Harris, Zach Moss, Devin Singletary
CeeDee Lamb, Justin Jefferson, Diontae Johnson, Mike Williams, Marvin Jones, Laviska Shenault
Dawson Knox, James O'Shaughnessy (IR)
Greg Zuerlein
Dallas DST

I will go into Week 8 at 5-2.

Who knew that all the best players had a Week 7 bye?

I just checked out Rotoworld's Waiver Wired column.

 

Also available at WR: PHI WR Q. Watkins @ LVR, and TEN WR N. Westbrook Ikhine home vs. KC (*if* Julio is OUT).  My new order: 1) Westbrook; 2) Watkins; 3) D-Rob.

Didn't you do that on purpose though after you drafted a few on week 7 bye?

I did--hence the name of the team.  I even dropped the Washington D for Dallas when the guy who had PIT wouldn't trade me.  It would be hard to get a team that's all on the same bye accidentally.

RB

  • Penny is coming off IR in Seatlle and Collins is banged up. I own him in 1 league, picking him up in another. 
  • Stevenson is starting to see more work in NE
  • Freeman nearly split with Murray in BAL, and now Murray has an ankle issue.

WR

  • Robby Anderson is being targeted a bunch now, eventually, some of them will connect. 

 

QB

  • Tua has a good matchup
  • Ryan has a good matchup

Penny is very scary, one hit and done.

Anyone know the RB situation in NE ?

Harris is still there, is it 50/50....or is Stephenson only in on passing downs ?  Stephenson is on WW

Stevenson is a hard one to trust like the rb situation with the Pats usually is.

He seemed to play the 3rd down role now but that was his first game doing it. He also missed a block once- back to doghouse?

I have Justin Herbert and CeeDee Lamb on bye this week. Which is my starting QB and my WR2.

I'm subbing in Sam Darnold and Henry Ruggs. A bit of a letdown, but both are capable of big games.

Cowboys, Chargers, and the Bills all one bye, three of the best offenses.

This is definitely the worst bye week

Najee and Diontae haven't been slouches for Pittsburgh either.

That's why my Team of Extraordinary Genitals (all players with Week 7 byes) will be 5-2 going into Week 8 after the upcoming forfeit (and at full strength for the remainder of the season).

Maybe I shouldn't jinx myself.  The Yahoo game picker has me with a 1% chance of winning.  Apparently, one out of every 100 times, some team scores negative points for the week.

Exactly my scenario and thinking 

I have so many Bye players my 8 bench players are all 0s, 2 IRs 

forfeit this week then go on a run

I have Dak, Dalvin, and Mike Williams on bye.  Starting 3 Denver Broncos in their place:  Bridgewater, Melvin Gordon, and Javonte Williams.  Both my defenses are on bye and we start 2 defenses but I stream.  Added Saints D/ST and 49ers D/ST for this week.

I'm 5-1 but likely going to take a loss this week with Ekeler, Mike Williams and Diggs on byes. Looks like I have to start Tim Patrick at WR2 😱. Flex would be Pittman, Goedert, or Ertz.

I was able to trade Stevenson (my RB5) and get Shenault to the guy who had 6 Cowboys as his starters.

Two deep reaches I like this week are Dyami Brown and Nico Collins. Brown especially as he is a deep threat with big play capabilities alongside scary Terry...

rallo: yeah, Dyami was one of the WRs I mentioned in the OP.  I grabbed NWI of TEN .. but it looks like TEN WR2 J. Jones was Limited Thursday.  WAS WR2 C. Samuels is OUT.  I also noticed TB WR3 AB is OUT this week.  So - TB WR4 T. Johnson is also a consideration..

 

BUT - my WR1 is M. Evans..

He had the TD late, although Harris was banged up so probably best to ignore.

More importantly he had 3 catches for 39 yards, including a pretty catch up the seam (so not just taking dump-offs). Looks like they're trying to get him more involved, I think he has more upside than Bolden as the backup and should eat into some more of Harris's work, if only to keep him fresh.

I'm starting him as a flex this week given the dire situation with the bye week.

I think they fixed it so it never gives anyone a 0% chance to win.

I've played in games where I'm up a number of points with a player left, the other team had no player left and it still gave him a 1% chance to win.

defies all logic.  I'm thinking it is in the programming.
