Week 8

Kmet: +9.1 = 35.9

Hooper: +1.5 = 21.6

Week 9

Kmet: +22.0 = 57.9

Hooper: +5.4 = 27.0

Kmet breaks it open with 2 carries for 9 yards--in addition to his receptions, yards, and TDs!

Halfway through the season and Hooper's been doubled up!

Not much of a race any more, even though Hooper just had his best game of the season thus far...

Week 10

Kmet: +23.4 = 81.3

Hooper: +9.1 = 36.1

I would say your best hope at this point is an injury to Hooper so you can at least break even--but I don't know that Hooper plays enough to axually get hurt, so good luck with that.

This week was his breakout, i foresee some big weeks ahead!

Last week was his breakout; this week he just repeated the feat.

But I agree, Kmet's best half of the season is ahead of him!

[AxeElf 787]

Hooper makes his move!

19.6 big points on a Thursday night!

That makes three consecutive weeks that one of the TEs involved in this bet has scored 2 TDs.  We might have a battle on our hands after all!

55.7 for Hooper now, as Kmet sits at 81.3 preparing his defense...

6 weeks to go...

Pretty even effort; 5 weeks to go...

[AxeElf 787]

Mooney out for the year; more targets for Kmet!

[MTSkiBum 1,593]

I need another 2 TD week, although i have kmet in my main league. So I am kind of rooting for him to have a 2 TD game as well

Hooper: +5.2 = 66.9

Hooper needs to make up 10 pts per week for each of the next 4 weeks.

That will be quite a trick, since he's averaging just over 5.5 total points per week so far.

I suppose it's not enough money to worry about buying out at this point, but if I was skibum, I would be trying to buy out at some % of the bet.  Reasoning would be you don't need to sweat an injury nulling the bet (or worry about updating this thread anymore).

After last year's 1.x point loss to Antonio Brown, this one's going the full $50 as well.

There is still hope. Let's get that negative talk out of here.

Good call.  Positive vibes will make Hooper not suck.

[AxeElf 787]

I was just about to cue up the Jaws clip when I realized it's Brody that says, "You're gonna need a bigger boat."

"You're gonna need a better TE," would have been my take on it if Hooper had said it.

Week 13

Kmet: +13.2 = 106.7

Hooper: +5.2 = 66.9

Week 14

Kmet: BYE = 106.7

Hooper: +11.8 = 78.7

Hooper takes advantage of Kmet's bye week to become the leading receiver for the Titans in Week 14!

He'll need to continue to make up 10 pts per week for each of the next 3 weeks...

[MTSkiBum 1,593]

I am still holding hooper in a deep dynasty league, probably should cut him.

Week 15

2 weeks to go, doesn't look like the injury clause will save you, and Hooper needs to make up 15 points each week for the win.

Week 16

Kmet: +7.7 = 120.9

Hooper: +4.0 = 88.0

There's one week to go, the injury clause is null and void, and Hooper needs to outscore Kmet by 33 points in Week 17, or Axe Elf administers justice.

[AxeElf 787]

I didn't even think about Hooper playing on Thursday (if you can call that playing), but with his addition of only 1.6 fantasy points on TNF to bring his total to 89.6 on the year, Kmet will have to lose about 20 fumbles today to fall short.

 Kmet with the TD catch in my title match.

Received $48.50, but you couldn't send it Friends & Family rather than Goods & Services so that they wouldn't deduct $1.50 in fees?  smh...

Funny thing is I could have picked any of the TEs I liked--Ertz, Goedert, Engram, Gesicki or Kmet--every single one of them finished better than Hooper.  lol

Damnit, sorry about that.  It did not say anything on my side that it was going to deduct an amount.
