I can kinda see a happy life living just on the over of trey's weekly projections.

I have two receivers up for trade btw

I don’t know what this means but no one wants your overachieving white WRs.

That's racist. Also those aren't the available ones.

But only the 3rd highest in TOB9L

[I Gave You Power]

Pretty great thing I did drafting Gus Edwards and Raheem Mostert as my RB2 and RB3 in my home league.

[heathenist]

Week 1 The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly

The good: I won in both the Losman and TOB9L. I was the highest scoring team in the Losman and 3rd highest in TOB9L. Kelce looked as great as advertised and Mixon looked like the workhorse back I drafted him to be. Mid-late round picks Cooks and Corey Davis both looked really solid. Not going to overreact and think they will be top 12 all season, but should hopefully be really solid WR2-Flex options. As for my questionable Pats picks in the Losman, both looked solid. Meyers got 9 targets and Harris had 25 touches, but also a fumble from Harris (that cost them the game) and no TDs for either, still fairly promising just in terms of workloads for each though. Tyler Lockett wen't off for a great game, but I'm not going to act like it's indicative of the rest of the season.

The bad: Lamar looked more like 2020 Lamar than 2019 Lamar, it won't kill me, but I'm hoping for better as the season continues, but not sure it'll happen with that o-line. James Robinson. This could be bad. Only 5 carries. The upside is he got 6 targets but he really needs a bigger workload to be worth the 3rd/4th round picks I spent on him. Last year he was gamescript proof, but it doesn't look like that will be the case this year with Urban Meyer running the show, which is bad news because the Jags looked terrible against what everyone assumed would be a bottom 3 team this year. Terry McLauren was fine, but he needs to be much better than fine to justify a 3rd round pick, and with Fitzmagic out for who knows how long, it could be a rough season, especially with...

The ugly: RIP in Peace Jerome Jeudy's breakout season. This one hurts bad because I reached for him in both leagues and was really banking on him having a breakout campaign this year. I expected him to be a PPR machine with Teddy at QB. And what makes his injury even worse, I was right. He looked amazing until the injury. Always open. Catching almost everything. And by far the number one target on the team. This stinks. In other ugly news, Trey Sermon and Zach Moss didn't even suit up, Philip Lindsay had like 3 carries, and AJ Green is washed. But those were all late round picks that I wasn't counting on so it isn't the end of the world.

When you say bottom 3 team, you talkin about the afc south's lone division leading texans?

"What everyone assumed would be a bottom 3 team"

They still might be, but they looked better than everyone expected. Hard to say if that's because the Jags are just THAT bad, or because the Texans are somehow better than we thought. 

[itii]

They beat the team with the number 1 draft pick starting a rookie qb in his first available game, lead by a college coach. They're still gunna be garbage but people forget just how close the parity is in the nfl.

ETA: And they still had to depend on a jumpball!

[internetbully]

Ended up losing my week 1 matchup by like half a point due to the changed call on George Kittle’s “fumble” hahaha fuck my life

[ryanakafvckyou]

Stat correction losses are so brutal.

It’s absolutely nutty seeing that Elijah Mitchell wen't for 100% of the FAAB budget in some many leagues. I don’t understand that at all. In the Losman he wen't for a little over 40%, which is still high but not crazy. Everyone must really be banking on him being this year’s James Robinson, but I really don’t think that will be the case in SF, they almost never only use one RB and we don’t know what the touches will look like once Sermon gets activated and then if Wilson ever comes off IR that’ll be another player to split the touches between. I’m still buying the narrative that Sermon wasn’t active because he doesn’t play on. Special teams, but with Mostert out, he could suddenly be the RB 1 or 1b.

I legit LOL'd when I saw how much he wen't for in the Losman. I bid like $36 or some shit and even then I was shaky on it. wen't for like $60 in my home league too. I think it's insane for all the same reasons you outlined but mostly because I think Jeff Wilson is REALLY good, a dual-threat back and and will be activated like halfway through the season so that is gonna make Mitchell a flex play at best when he comes back regardless of what they even do with Sermon.

I overbid on Gronk. Happy with my decision

Typical week 1 overreaction. Happens every year.

He was an upside sleeper in the dynasty world. I took him in the 4th round of one of my rookie drafts. He’s got wheels and I can see him being a good shannahan back. With that being said I bid like 20 because I can see sermon and wilson when he’s back week 7 blowing any league winning upside. More of a flex player.

I think I put in 36 too, can't remember exactly, but it was something around 15%. On reddit someone said in their league he wen't for 101/100 because someone had traded away a player for FAAB dollars, so they technically spent more than the yearly budget on one player, and a SF rb at that.

As league's leading scorer I'm just trying to spread the wealth.

[heathenist]

I motion to get rid of kickers in both the Losman and TOB9L next year. No one should win or lose because of a kicker.

[I Gave You Power]

I will get rid of tight ends before kickers.

[Popcorn Sutton]

I’m in a league with no kickers and I hate it

I legitimately fail to comprehend the rejection of the only real rng and potentially negative outcome factor in what is basically a spreadsheet process.

It's weird, trey.

Because there is almost no predictability at the position. It's basically a wild card every week. Part of fantasy football is using variables to predict which players will do well over the course of a season and week to week. With kickers is a total crapshoot and pretty much no one actually takes it serious and just plops a random kicker into their lineup. They offer zero value to a fantasy football team. Think of it this way, would anyone ever trade for a kicker? No? Why not? Because it's a worthless fucking position that's nearly impossible to predict in the short or long term. I don't like to think of fantasy football as a complete guessing game, of course there is variability, but I try to minimize that as much as possible through research, watching the games every week, etc. If I wanted to play a game of complete chance I could go play roulette, but that's not what I want out of fantasy football. I legitimately think kickers have a negative impact on the game of fantasy football.
