Had Paul Richardson on the bench. Started ASJ who looks like he had another TD called back, so he got me 1 point.

 

Up 23 with my opponent having Chiefs D and Tyreek Hill tonight. I don't like my chances.

 

Also, my players had 4 fumbles yesterday. -8 points.

[NewMarketSean]

I lost by one point, partially due to getting a -2 from Chris Thompson's fumble on ST. For some reason, our players can get hit for turnovers on ST, but we don't get any of their points for yardage or TD's. Bullshit if you ask me. I am demanding that rule is changed next year.

Maybe it's different on ESPN, but I don't think Yahoo!'s settings are that customizable.  A fumble loss is the same stat whether it was on a return, run, pass attempt, or reception.  You can set it up so players get credit for return yards and touchdowns, though.  I actually prefer that and going with only team defense stats rather than D/ST.

Yeah, we have it set up so it is only D not D/ST. Allows for more scoring opportunities from WR/RBs. It's been a big hit in our league since we incorporated it way back when.

Just a lot of bad luck this week. It's amazing how that can happen in FF so often. Poor coaching decisions, my team loses 4 fumbles, one of which was the ST fumble, which ultimately lost me the game. Also uncanny how your players can't ALL play well. It's usually the ones on the bench who go off, while the ones in your line up who shit the bed.

 

Oh and Mixon fucking sucks. He was supposed to be great? He sucks. Couldn't even run on the Colts.

Jamison Crowder @ Sea

or

Corey Davis @ Bal

Jamison Crowder @ Sea

or

Corey Davis @ Bal

This is Davis' first start, right?

 

I'd go with Crowder.

[NewMarketSean]

Alex Collins or Chris Thompson?

[Mackus]

This is Davis' first start, right?

 

I'd go with Crowder.

 

First in a while.  He went 6/69 in the first week on 10 targets.  Got hurt very early in Week 2 and been out since.

 

Crowder is questionable currently, hasn't practiced yet, and plays at 4pm compared to 1pm for Davis.  If I go with Crowder and then he's inactive, I could sub in Matt Breida also playing at 4pm.

[Mackus]

Alex Collins or Chris Thompson?

 

Collins in standard.

Thompson in PPR.

[JordanKough]

Crowder is fighting a hamstring injury, doesn't look great that he'll play. But right now, I'm not trusing WRs against the Ravens defense. I bet the Titans have some trick plays up their sleeve this week and I feel like the sneaky play right now is Jonnu Smith. Who is going to score on some ridiculous TD where Jefferson forgets to cover him while staring at the RB. Davis or Crowder might be a lose lose choice where you have to play Crowder if he's healthy. 

 

I'll say I like Collins in both formats slightly more than Collins. The Ravens threw to him twice last week, very successfully, and they have to stop running the ball with Buck Allen at FB at some point right? Am I the only that thinks that's ridiculous? 

[Mackus]

Hilton, Fitzgerald, and Darkwa...pick 2.  Non-PPR.

[NewMarketSean]

Hilton and Darkwa.

[JordanKough]

That's a tough one, between Hilton and Fitz. Fitz has a solid matchup. And the Niners are super banged up on defense. But both guys have been boom or bust. I'd lean Fitz, but Hilton feels like he's due for a monster game himself.

Dude in a league of mine started Kelvin Benjamin last night. He was inactive, now he's trying to get the commish to take him out of his lineup.

Crying that because it was a Thursday he should get a pass because people work all week and aren't likely to keep up until the weekend.

Even cried "texting and driving is dangerous. I'm not adjusting my lineup in the car."

GTFO. Texting and driving is one thing. But a few taps to adjust your lineup is no different than a few taps on the GPS to get you where you need to go.

[Mackus]

Yeah I agree. If you've got someone going on Thursday, you are responsible for checking if they are active. A bit different with Benjamin getting traded to a team playing on Thursday, but the trade was 2 days earier.

Only thing that would make me reconsider is if he was out of the country or something and had asked beforehand that the commish or someone monitor his preset lineups for any injuries or whatever and adjust if needed.

What’s everyone’s thoughts on Corey Davis rest of season?

[Mackus]

My first win!  I punted the season back in Week 4 due to injuries, trading away anyone I can that could bring back improved future value, but it's nice to finally get a win in my money keeper league.  I got a win against someone currently holding a playoff spot, too, so fun to play spoiler.  Next year I'll be sitting pretty with stud keepers and about 30% extra auction budget to get back on top.

[NewMarketSean]

Losing by 20 with Tate tonight. So another L. AJ Green getting ejected didn't help. 4-5 and starting to wonder if I should just try to snag another solid keeper. Already feeling OK with Kamara and Dalvin Cook.
