I went ahead and picked up Cooks, still unsure who I'll start between him and Kincaid but have a few more days to think about it.

Have the 2nd highest points in my league but fighting for the final playoff spot. If I win I'm in, if I lose it depends who elese wins and how many points they score.
Just lost Christian Kirk. I have Jordan Addison, but havent really trusted him since Cousins went down and now JJ expected back. I have a claim in for Brandin Cooks, I already have CeeDee. Do I play 2 Cowboys WRs against Philly or give Addison a shot?

Last week of the season and find myself in 5th place in spite of being the highest league scorer by 100 points. Win and I’m in for sure, but if I lose and 6th and 7th (playing 1 and 3 respectively) both win I get bounced.
I could be the first FF player ever to lead his league in scoring and not make the post season. Talk about bad luck

I’ve been looking into DFS for when my season ends, but everything I read is saying it’s rigged/sheisty. Anyone here partake? The idea of it sounds cool

speaking of TE i sat njoku and he went nuts. that'll hurt. i'm still in the playoffs but it changes the seeding. now, next week, he'll put up 4 points and dallas G will score on my bench.

On my main team in the league I want to win most, I've had Justin Herbert each of the last two years. And it feels like he just had the same season as last (worse, i guess)
1. looks like a million dollars early on, offense humming, Mike Williams making plays, Keenan's still got it despite getting old
2. Mike Will gets hurt, as is tradition
3. Justin gets hurt but plays through it, underwhelming at times yet you can't complain much because he's playing through it
4. the whole thing wears out, injuries pile up, we'll get'm next year
I also have to say Kellen Moore didn't do a damn thing for this offense. Maybe he gets overstepped by that loser head coach they have but this was the same deal as last year IMO. I do feel for Herbert because he's a mega talent and plays injured a lot but then again, he just committed to this franchise long term, he kept himself in this.
in terms of fantasy football, when everything's right JH is a top 3 QB. Unfortunately "everything right" only lasts half the season it seems.

What week do most FF leagues run through? The league I am in, there is no weekly head-to-head or playoffs. It is all total points on the season, but I am just wondering if most leagues like this only run through 15 or 16 games (so Week 16 or 17) because there is potential for teams to have playoff seeding wrapped up and starters benched.

I think I'm back to punting QB anyways. Hurts and Allen are the only early ones that were worth their cost. Better off to just grab 2 late and hope one has a Dak type season or just use them to play matchups.

ironically they already had a guy in Josh Palmer who does fine whenever Williams misses games. Although he got hurt too

I hate Fantasy, been averaging around 120+ points. Finished 2nd in the regular season. Playoffs started this week and I got 58 points.
Come Aug I'll be excited about fantasy again but for now it can fook right off.
