Guillotine league - survival mode.

[crackills 25]

ok.. so my team decided to fold this week...  waddle, gadsen, warren did nothing... 

for the night game i can choose between Gibbs and Barkley.. which way do i roll? who has the higher ceiling

I need 20pts+ to even have a prayer in .5ppr. 

I am leaning Barkley -- since he doesnt share carries and the Det D is beatable... vs Gibbs sharing + better eagles D

 

thoughts?

Did you survive?

Didn't realize we had any Guillotine players in here.  My 3rd year playing - not so hot my first couple years (Wk 7 best - ugh).  But this time... I'm still alive!   Got lucky in the draft - ended up with players I wasn't thrilled about, but they've done well - JSN 2nd round was gold, and some lucky picks - Pittman & Olave.  

Down to $375 in FAB, which is 3rd highest of the 7 remaining. Sounds good, except I didn't spend wisely during the year. Only "end game" player I picked up was Kittle.  Wasted the other on middling Wrs and Rbs to cover bye-weeks.  If I did it over again, I would've been way more stingy with the FAB. 

Got some serious decisions to make with this week.... Breece Hall is gonna get me chopped eventually. Need to replace with an "end game" Rb, but not sure how much to spend.  I heard spending/cost goes way down in these later weeks, but .... I've never been here before so I'm interested so I'm see it happen.

4 teams left in my guillotine league.....I'll have high score this week...leaving 3 for next week. My team is ridiculous at this point & I have 3 times the FAB than the 2 other teams that will survive.

I survived!.. somehow. I ended up rolling with Gibbs and that saved my @ss. Won by 3 pts because Bowers and Jeanty got the other player combined 14points.

We are down to 3 teams now. I had tough matchups week 11 but this week should be easier. This is my first year and I love it! no matter how unlucky you get with injuries or even draft, you can rebuild your team every week, unlike a regular fantasy league. I've been playing ffball for 25y+ so being a football fan helps make the right decisions as to FAs .. and fa budgets. I budgeted well and now have a pretty solid team

I did one twice... the first year, knocked out in the first week (the guy who won had all but 2 of my Week 1 starters).  The second year, I won.  Both years we had 18 people.  Those were some interesting drafts.

In the second year, my strategy was, I'm not bidding on anyone who wasn't a stud.  I had like 85% of my FAAB with 6 weeks to go.  I was buying studs for $50.  LOL
