Zero RB strategy pays off. I hit on Mostert and Montgomery in rounds 8 and 10. Grabbed JT in round 7 and stashed him on IR. Added Puca after week 1 on waiver. Those guys go along with Diggs, Allen, Devonta Smith in rounds 1, 3, and 4. Some of it's a little luck but I've been a Zero RB draft guy years. I load up on receptions in PPR leagues early on.

I would have been thrilled to have been in a position to draft Chubb in late 1st or early 2nd this season. And, look what happened. Similar thing with those that drafted JT #1 last year. Meanwhile, I got Jacobs in HSN Champions in 5th round last year. Got Kenneth Walker in mid rounds in 2 leagues this season. Got Montgomery I believe in 6th or 7th (edit: actually 8th) round in HSN Champions this season. It's really hard to identify who will click and impossible to know who will stay healthy.

Yep which is why I've always gone the zero RB world. They get injured far more often so in assessing the risk I'd rather load up on catches first because it happens every single year....RB's go down.

Anything? lol I have Engram... and by all accounts is absolutely heavily involved in the Jags passing game... I play in a non ppr league, Engram is avg 4.3 ppg... someone like TJ Hockenson seems like he would be A LOT more valuable than someone like Engram, but he's only avg 6.3 ppg. I have CMC, Kamara, R White, Ford, and A Wilson... do I try and trade R White for Hockenson? something like that? idk. helllllllp I don’t know why you would bother to trade. Engram has almost the exact amount of yards as Hockenson…your league is TD dependent…and I think 3 TDs leads the nfl for TEs. Since catches aren’t rewarded I’d target Laporta probably or just stick with Engram. I’d also probably move off Kamara who is a huge volume guy in ppr for a more traditional yardage/Td rb (thinking Montgomery maybe when healthy) Personally don’t like non-ppr leagues. At minimum stagger the points then. .5 for wr, 1 rb, and 1.5 for TE…that is a good way to even out the values on players across the board.

Because I think Hockenson gives me a much better chance at a "high-scoring game" ... I don't think Engram will ever have over 10-12 points, and until this point, his high is 6? or 7? I will probably just stick with Engram, though. I don't like non-ppr leagues either. If we had 1.5pts for TE reception, Engram's value would go way up. Having one less starter makes people really not want to trade. Montgomery/Laporta aren't guys that the owner of that team would trade away. You said my league is TD-dependent, yes, and Engram hardly even gets RZ targets. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seeking6 Posted October 19, 2023 Report Share Posted October 19, 2023 Semi fantasy related so I'll throw this in here. I'm in a few pickem contests each year and there is always one week where I just don't know what or why Vegas has the spreads they do. Maybe I'm thinking a bit much but these games have me puzzled. Jags at Saints...Saints favored by 3. Browns at Colts...Browns favored by 3...this feels like just because they won last week Detroit 3 point underdog to Ravens Washington road favorite over Giants I'm as puzzled there as I am with fantasy this week. Everyone runs out to get Evans and Rodgers (if available) and now McVay throws out the comments today about Evans maybe not ready to start and Campbell says Gibbs should play. Weird week.

Seeking6 Posted October 19, 2023 Report Share Posted October 19, 2023 Anyone have Trevor Lawrence on their teams? I've got a couple of leagues where I ended up with him and man I don't want to play him tonight....if he plays. Would you guys roll with Mayfield or even Dobbs in mop duty over Lawrence? Pickings are slim. Just curious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True but if 3 TDs is tops for TEs so far on the season then he really isn’t that much worse than the top guy. If you think you can get Hockenson for not much more than sure but I just don’t think there is much that separates the two in a non-ppr league. Reason being that with Jefferson out I think Minnesota offense will struggle to get red zone opportunities for Hockenson and when they do I think he will get extra attention. Engram should see more opportunities later on…Jax offense has really not been hitting on all cylinders. I think Engram is a top 10 TE in just about any leafue type. I think he will find endzone soon.

Would have gone Mayfield over Dobbs if Lawrence had not played. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
5fouls Posted October 20, 2023 Author Report Share Posted October 20, 2023 I have C. Kirk in both HSN leagues. With Lawrence being gimpy, I only played Kirk in Champions and went another direction in HSN2. Got 19 points from Kirk. Wish I would have played him in both now. After Ridley's big Week 1, Kirk has proven to be the much more reliable receiver on the Jags. Always nice to have those reliable double-digit guys in your lineup even if they rarely have the huge games we see from guys like T. Hill. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With Ridley getting Lattimore Kirk was a no brainer to me based on choices,etc.... I've got Ridley in 2 leagues and he's now on bench mode. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good news is Chargers are keeping it close, so the Chiefs will need to keep the foot on the accelerator. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

5fouls Posted October 24, 2023 Author Report Share Posted October 24, 2023 For those not in the Champions league, but might be interested in how things are going, here are the results of this week's matchups. A lot of positional jockeying as 9 teams now sit at either 4-3 or 3-4. Meanwhile, @Seeking6opens up a clear lead on the field going into the 2nd half of the season. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
