I. Hate. Fantasy Football. I was up 15 going into Monday. My opponent had Herbert and the Raiders kicker. I had Mike Williams and Bryan Edwards. Herbert is a stud, so I knew he would go off but I figured that if Williams and Edwards combined for 20, I'd get the win. I lost by 8! I. Am. So. Mad. I hear you. I had Herbert, Raiders kicker AND Williams. I lost by just under 8. It was the second smallest loss of the week and season. In fact I have lost twice and they are the 2nd and 3rd lowest losses. I didn't see the game but I hear Herbert missed what should have been a 87 yard TD to Williams. That would have won me the game. As it is I dropped from 2nd to 4th. The next two weeks are HUGE for me as I face the 2nd place team (3-1) this week and the top team (4-0) next week. There is a jam of 2-2 teams like me so if I can win those games I will be sitting pretty. Just need Run CMC to get healthy and stay that way.

Just reminds me why I could never play FF.....I don't want to be angry with the sport.

Well then I would suggest avoiding being a Lions fan as well.

So far my season has been pretty unreal. I'm in a 14 team league (auction draft) and I have according to my league's scoring the #2 QB (Kyler Murray), 3 Top 10 RBs (Zeke Elliott, Austin Eckler and D'Andre Swift) and the #1 and 3 WR (Cooper Kupp and Deebo Samuel). My lowest week so far has been 158 points and I have had the highest or second highest score in the league each week. Its a hell of a run and I know it won't stay at that level, but I'm loving it for now!

No reason the good times can't continue to roll for you. At least this season. Keep it up. Nice to see someone doing great. I am doing so-so. 2-2 with my two losses being under 11 points and an average of just over 9. I switched things up this week in what might be a make or break week for me. Instead of going with guys who have been, at least season wise, top guys for me I went with guys from bench or I picked up that seem to have good matchups. Facing teams that give up a lot of points to their position. Fingers crossed.

They say weathermen have the best job because they are the only ones that can be wrong half the time and not get fired. I say that is nothing compared to fantasy football "experts". I mean they will say a player will get X points one week. If the player is around that score they look smart. If the player scores far more the expert just says he outplayed his forecast. If they score far less the expert will say they underperformed and/or were a victim of game script. Granted the game script can be true in some cases.
So in that vein I am starting my own fantasy football paid advice business. The rub is you get my advice and do the EXACT...OPPOSITE. Seriously. I mean I drafted Myles Gaskin in the 6th round I think as my RB3 to use to fill spots during bye weeks and if injuries. Maybe as my flex. The first 4 weeks the Dolphins forgot he was on the team. So this week I cut him and signed someone else. So what happens. Miami's coaches realized he was on the team and he goes off for 26.9 points. Basically if I have any chance of winning in FF I have to pull a Constanza. Whatever my instinct says to do I have to do the opposite. So anywho, look for my business in the future and sign up to win your fantasy football leagues. <thumbs up>

I left around 93 points on my bench. That was just 3 players. Of course some of FF is luck. As bad as I played this week I could still have won if I had been lucky enough to play the one team that is a bot or the manager stopped caring because he had 2 of his 9 players on IR and is going to score in the 50s.

I'm now in 7th in a 10 team league at 2-3. This week I face the top team and only undefeated one at 5-0. I have the highest expected score. He made some moves to make the difference almost nothing but still highest predicted score. I just need Run CMC to get healthy, come back and stay healthy.

I somehow survived Robert Woods and Tom Brady to pull out another win this week to improve to 5-0. I face the worst team in the league this week, so hoping to continue the streak.
We have one guy in my league that is 0-5 but has more total points on the season than the other 5-0 guy in my league. Matchups are funny that way.
