Week 4

[Maximum Overkill 2,320]

What's your record this far?? 

[Maximum Overkill 2,320]

I'm 3-0 in one Dynasty League and 0-3 in another. 

My better team is the 0-3 team  

[nobody 2,830]

1-2 in every league.  

I'm on the struggle bus with Dak, ladd and AJ Brown Henry, etc

I think you're ok. Those guys will come around, hopefully this week. 

[nobody 2,830]

Henry i think will be fine.

I have systemic issues with the other three:

1. AJ Brown - they won't throw unless the other team makes them and they're too good to get the run game shutdown or be in a position they have to sling it very often

2. Ladd - with Q now somehow becoming good amazingly and Keenan Allen showing up, ladd is relegated to the third target.  

3. Dak - lost ceedee and now he's relying on a head case.  Not good.  Only good thing is that defense is so bad, there should be plenty of garbage time work to be had.

I also broke my cardinal rule and drafted a head case in Calvin ridley in two leagues.  His ass is glued to the bench.  Fortunately I was smart enough to keep my guard up and grabbed Pearsall.

Lost Conner in one league and i did draft Benson, but he appears to be less than stellar and is in a committee.

It's a clusterfock all the way around.

Yeah, I don't understand this either. They barely target him anymore. But when they do he makes a play. 

Blows my mind

Same here, except they’re redraft & the 3-0 team is drafted, while the 0-3 is auction. I like my auction team better but have the worst luck there

[Chickie 76]

1-2 with my first two picks Jeanty and Chase Brown both spitting the bit. McConkey at #3 not helping either. Too early to worry about when pitchers and catchers reporting?

I have Chase Brown in both leagues and am very disappointed as well. So much so that I'm contemplating trading him if I go to 0-4 this week which I probably will. A month ago I probably would of gotten 2 first round picks for him, now I'd be lucky to get a late 1st round pick back.

That’s the issue with trades, everyone is seeing his value plummeting from draft day with Burrow out, any RB will be of similar value unless someone is stacked at RB, or someone wearing a Bengals jersey

Yup. It's dynasty so he still holds some value, just not what he was. I'll hold regardless, unless someone blows me away.

I saw some chatter last week about how AJ and hurts had a bit of a spat last year and his production dipped for a couple games before rebounding

makes me wonder if they never really buried it.

I could see him becoming a malcontent very quickly if he doesnt get some love in the pass game.

[rotisserieking 58]

We changed our 27 year old league to victory points this year so the standings look odd. Currently 2-4 and will be either 3-5 or 4-4 depending on Ja'Maar getting 8.1 tonight. Second highest scorer this week and went up against Hurts, Bucky, Saquan, and Egbuka. That game killed me. (10 team keeper)

AJ is not happy.

What the hell?  

[GobbleDog 1,009]

Brian Thomas Jr.  with the 9th overall pick.  

Otherwise, can't complain. 3-1 and about to end a long playoff drought. For once, my instincts worked  - and I don't mean just avoiding injury bug. Chase Brown -vs- Bucky Irving.... for a week before the draft I was back and forth what to do with my 2nd rd pick. Brown's mediocre metrics and Bengals poor o-line nudged me in the right direction. 

Cook falling to early 4th sealed the deal. I'll be banana dancing my way to the playoffs!

Congrats, but hard to believe you won three games starting Tank at rb.  🥳

I did end up drafting Tank - even reached a bit with a 9th round pick.  Of course didn't start him, but of all the players I completely whiffed on - Tank tops the list.  Since dropped him.  Read those tea leaves wrong.
