Just goes to show how much luck is a factor. I added Hubbard at noon on Sunday. He ended up with 18.90 which gave me the win and the points needed to finish #6. I think at one point I was 2-4 or 2-5.

Fouls did not earn a promotion from the loser league I am joining, but he stayed top 6 in the champions league. Kev should be relegated with me to the loser league, but he earned a promotion from the loser league to champions league. Kev's Champions league team gets demoted, but his HSN2 team gets promoted as he made the playoffs there. It's a dynamic that cuts both ways. Fir example, if both my teams qualify, I can still only field 1 in the Champions league, so it opens up a slot. By contrast, if both my teams miss the playoffs, I steal a spot from someone who made the playoffs in HSN2. Thankfully, that did not happen this year. For Kev, it's a little more complicated since he is a league commissioner. Since he plays two teams, he has the same general scenario that I do. In fact, he actually qualified for 2 Champions league teams for this season based on making the playoffs in both leagues last year. He had to give one of those up. That said, since he and KDB are league commissioners, Kev has the additional twist of needing to be in whatever league KDB is not. It provides us flexibility for never needing to find a new Commish when KDB switches leagues. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ATX_sig Posted December 14, 2022 Report Share Posted December 14, 2022 Yes luck factors in. My first rounder pick (Najee) has not had a good week all year. I cut Tua around time of his concussions. Waller was hurt so started streaming TE's. Engram gave me a good week then I cut him and he exploded. Okonkwu did good so got lucky but not 162 and 2 TDs. I really thought I was just playing out the season last 3 or so weeks and entering lineups to maybe be a spoiler for those who were actually going to be a plyoff team. Maybe Najee Harris will play like that 1st round pick I spent on him. Probably be 1 and done but who knows. To top it off, I am a fringe candidate team to move to elite league as a rookie. lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Parakeet Jones, who won the league last year, gets an automatic one year exemption to stay in the Champions League. Since he missed the playoffs, he takes a 7th spot from the current Champions League membership, meaning only 5 get to move up from HSN2. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
5fouls Posted December 14, 2022 Author Report Share Posted December 14, 2022 I went back and looked at the drafts our two regular season champions. @Seeking6 drafted 11th in the first round. @JaybobHoosierdrafted 7th in the first round. Common player between the two among early picks? Travis Kelce. Food for thought when next year's draft rolls around. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seeking6 Posted December 14, 2022 Report Share Posted December 14, 2022 Good luck to everyone this week and coming weeks !For some reason I can't find standings or results from last year but I remember being disappointed finishing 3rd. Hopefully I've got a title winner this year...but as everyone knows sometimes teams that have regular season success it doesn't translate.

I know it's a subject with plenty of debate but I'll go to my grave with the non RB drafting strategy. Has worked for years for me and I'll keep doing it as long as it's a throwing league. Guys like Stevenson, Dobbins after rounds 6 and add a Kenneth Walker along the way. Happens every single year. Now it doesn't mean I'll win our title but I'll keep going that way again and again....especially in PPR leagues. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unlike you, I did the opposite and went RB/RB with the 11th an 14th picks. Kamara and Swift helped lead me to last place. To top it off, when I got around to going WR in rounds 3 & 4, I drafted the outstanding duo of DJ Moore and Courtland Sutton. The only reason i won any games with that mess, let alone 5, was Jalen Hurts. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
5fouls Posted December 14, 2022 Author Report Share Posted December 14, 2022 @mrflynn03 I just looked at our matchup. So, Geno Smith is my QB and you have BOTH Lockett and Metcalf? So, I guess I have to root against my own QB. Sigh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In another league I'm really struggling starting Geno. 49ers have given up 20+ points what maybe twice this year? Waiver is bare so I'll just have to roll with it I guess....but wish I knew if Mike White was going before tomorrow night. I feel like Geno is staring at a 18-29 175 yards 1 TD and 2 INT line.

This time of year if your league allows unlimited transactions....do it. With that said you might want to let somebody pickup Goff because of matchup this week...no bueno.

That seems to be less of an issue with just one bye and an extra WC team than the old days. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seeking6 Posted December 16, 2022 Report Share Posted December 16, 2022 Man...decisions decisions decisions. Weather tomorrow in Buffalo is bad. Sounds like snow before, during, and after game with wind. I mean you can't bench Allen, Diggs, Tua, Hill, Waddle,etc....shoot even Tyler Bass..but that game has a chance to be brutal with playoffs firing up. I don't have much exposure to it other than Fanduel lineups so I wish those who do well. Tough calls for sure. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
