crackills 24 Posted Tuesday at 07:52 PM My first time in a suicide league and dont see many discussions on this, so thought I'd start one.. FAB budgets are 1000 So i just barely survived last week losing Nabors and Hill in one week.. that hurt. options include: Jamar Chase K Allen Pittman Slayton J Jennings How much are you bidding considering its just wk5... and what is the general strategy when you get the inj bug to your key players early.. all in?

GobbleDog 1,009 Posted Tuesday at 08:16 PM I think suicide league is the same as a guillotine league. Right? I'm in my 3rd year in a guillotine league. We also start with $1,000 FAB. The "experts" warn not to bid much the first few weeks and I've stuck to that advice. Only used about $75 so far picking up some mid-level Wrs with $20 - $30 bids. If you lost Nabers and Hill (oof - that sucks), then you probably need to pony up a little extra. Something like: $175 Chase - I'd go more, but without Burrow not sure Chase will ever return to superstar. $125 Allen $75 Pittman $60 Jennings $25 Slayton For me, I'm hurting at Rb and Gibbs just hit the waiver wire and I'm bidding $181 ... My biggest bid so far this year, but I need help. I probably won't get him, but that's as high as I'm willing to go. It's too early to brake the bank.

It's too early to brake the bank. every league is different... and yes i read also that you want to save your budget.. which makes sense.. but at least in my league one person bid 600 on Henry last week... which i thought was nuts. i bet he is regretting that call. i doubt you get Gibbs at 181..... winner will have to pony up 300+ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He almost certainly won't be around down the stretch. Gotta save that money for the elites later in the season. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I would look at your match-up first....see where you sit. You might not need to spend much to be competitive on any given week. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WhiteWonder 2,878 Posted 3 hours ago Losing nabers and hill makes me think forget chase and target Allen AND Pittman Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
crackills 24 Posted 48 minutes ago Thats exactly what i did... i got both Allen for 115 and Pittman for 87 and Slayton for good measure.. it worked out since i think i can easily replace the production i lost with those 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
