Fantasy Football 2020

Yep. Like I have said before some of FF is just timing. One schedule and you can have a great year. Another schedule, with everything else the same, and you have a bad one. Being the 2nd highest scorer each week sounds great unless you face the top scorer each week.

I’m having a pretty good year. In 3 leagues I’m a combined 12-3 and I’m the leading scorer in each league…. Sheesh Todd! Talk about a perfect draft

Next year I’ll hire you to run my team and we can split the winnings.

So it looks like Run CMC is iffy at best for this weekend and not Damien Williams is out due to COVID-19 policy. Guess it is time to start focusing on my game plan...for next season.

Every league I’m in the top pick has struggled mostly due to CMC’s injury. Hell the top 3 this year hasn’t paid off.

@rob wish i could say it was due to my own genius but I heard about Something called 0 rb strategy. Click the link to find out more. Long story short the way the league has devalued the RB mixed in PPR rules makes WRs more important than RB. So when you draft with that in mind you gain an edge over those that go 2 rb to start the draft. That advantage increases when the inevitable happens and one or both of them get hurt. But your way works with me. I still owe u for the Infinity recommendation lol

I have heard of the 0 RB strategy as well as the 0 QB and 0 K which make more sense to me. The reason I wonder about the 0 RB, even though it seems to be working for you, is there is less depth at RB. I bet right now I can find some good plays at WR that are FA but RB is thin pickings. Heck at WR I have Terry Mclaurin, Mike Williams, Robert Woods and technically Cordarrelle Patterson as he is listed as RB/WR. I just dropped Corey Davis and have both Michael Thomas and Michael Gallup sitting on my IR. Meanwhile Christian has been hurt a bunch this season, again. Plus a few other top guys have missed time. RB depth is important since most leagues require you to play two and you are limited to 3 WRs at best (2 at position and 1 at flex). But like I said it is working for you so maybe I need to think about it for next season.

Well this week is done for me. My opponent has Fournette and he is going off with more than a quarter left. Does anyone know if there is such a thing as Fantasy Cricket? I know NOTHING about the game of cricket but I doubt I can do worse than FF.

I will say this. Standard scoring FF is too PPR FF as boys are to men. I used to do pretty decent in standard scoring. Ever since yahoo switched to PPR I have been horrible.

0 RB doesn’t mean u neglect RB. U take a RB early. Get your 1A back but for your 2nd back you’re picking from the Fournette, Moss, Pollard type RBs. Instead of focusing on a back u can just plug and play you rotate that back out based on match ups, injuries, etc. For example Mattison has been having huge games in Cook’s absence. There’s a plug in RB every week. This week its Booker, last week it was D. Williams. If u invest a high pick on Saquon, Cook or Montgomery your team is going through some rough times cause you placed your team value at RB when WR’s score more. When a RB gets injured a majority of his Carries transfer directly to the back up. Targets dont usually go to the back up WR and WR’s are less likely to get injured. Based on your team for example. If Mclaurin gets hurt your options are Renfrow? Kirk?  He’s a #1 WR, those guys can get u 15 one week 3 the next. Whereas now that Barkley is injured, yeah Booker wont have the same upside, but he’ll have a similar floor based on workload alone. Look at what Hubbard did last week. So 0 RB doesn’t mean dont pick any RBs. its just you take more players considered as lottery tickets at the position because all RBs miss games. Your strength at WR allows u to trade for RBs and since your team will only be weak there u can focus your FAAB on RB and prioritize your waiver wire on the position. 0 rb is just a name, a name that inaccurately describes what it actually is

I know it doesn't mean take no RBs. I'm just saying based on depth, IMO, RB's are a bit more important. Now a days you do see more of a shared backfield but that's still just 2 RBs on a team at best. Meanwhile most teams have 2 WR and often 3 options these days. But like I said, it seems to be working so it might be something I try next hear.

Interesting week this week. I am playing the worst team in the league, 0-5 and last in points. I have the 2nd highest score in the league this week. I lost, and am now 5-1.
