At least a couple of them are worth flyers. I'd lock down Jonathan Stewart at $1 without hesitation. Mayhaps not four years, but two or three. He'll be an awesome backup at that price. LIES!!!!

Yeah, I agree that's a mistake. I see at least one other I'd take a flyer on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mudguard Posted September 12, 2017 Share Posted September 12, 2017 Went 0-2 in my Westeros leagues. Had a miserable start, but on the plus side, none of my players were injured and it looks like E. Elliot is going to play the entire season. Still feel like my teams are OK though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Chatywin et al. Posted September 12, 2017 Share Posted September 12, 2017 Went 2-2 in Westeros leagues, but thankfully the two wins were in the feeder leagues. The loss in Thunderdome was very crushing, having to know that on the other ME is smiling ear to ear. I honestly don't even care about the Dynasty loss. My team is BAD.

Even though I know logically that I should be more accepting of a loss in Dynasty given the circumstance, that was the hardest one for me to lose. I feel more invested in that team than any other, even my money league. Really dig that format. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bronn Stone Posted September 12, 2017 Share Posted September 12, 2017 The league I am missing is our Survivor league. Not the normal Survivor format, but you get a real FF team, and low score of the week is out of the league (voted off the island) until all are gone. Roto scoring, not HTH. That made for some fun Monday nights. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Granted, the Saints defense is ass, but Minnesota seems to have improved on offense. Two really good edge receivers in Thielen and Diigs, a nice pass catching TE, and Darwin Cook appears to be the real deal. The O-line should only get better as the season progresses (barring injury of course). On top of that I get Snead who basically becomes my 3rd best receiver once he's off suspension. As far as losing Murray goes, I have Lynch on my bench, so I feel like I'm not really losing much outside of depth. And I thought Lynch was much more impressive than Murray was last week. So I improve at two spots (QB2 and WR3) and really stay the same at RB2 with the exception of some depth. What a treat, listeners. Mooch will be on in a moment, but I just received a statement from Mr. Grigson himself, in defense of his ill fated decision. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Feel okay about all of the teams that won - Experts, Westeros A, and Westeros B. Think I'm in trouble in Westeros C though. Both of the big injuries this week were to players on my team - David Johnson and Allen Robinson. That's basically 35% of my draft capital out the window. Leaves me with a $130 team, which is rough. Well I'm the guy that spent $56 or whatever on John Brown. So it sort of depends. It was fun losing Monday night in one of my money leagues when Bradford beat me by a point and a half when I had Diggs going. I was up after the 2 TDs but he fed Theilen too much.

briantw Posted September 13, 2017 Share Posted September 13, 2017 Been working all offseason to try to improve my dynasty paid league team after injuries (plus Osweiler making Hopkins pedestrian) led me to an unfortunate last place finish last year in our league's first season. On the plus side, all the injuries left me with the number one pick and Corey Davis, so not the worst consolation prize in the world. However, I wanted to compete for a title this year, not for draft picks. Anyway, made several trades during the offseason to work toward this goal. Trade 1: David Njoku for Mike Williams. Not really a major trade, but I ended the rookie draft with both Howard and Njoku due to how the draft fell, so one of them was expendable, and my buddy really needed a TE. I basically looked at this as flipping one very nice prospect for another who might flash some more immediate value this year. My hope is that Williams has a couple of good games once he returns this season, which will prop up his trade value. Trade 2: Kenneth Dixon + 2018 1st for Sammy Watkins I got really lucky with this one, as I got it done two days before Dixon tore up his knee and completely tanked his value. Giving up the first was a risk, but I had a good team last year that just saw everyone get hurt, so I was confident that, with a bit more luck this season, I'd have a much better finish. And I'm a big fan of Watkins as well, although he didn't end up staying on my roster. Trade 3: Danny Woodhead for Duke Johnson + 2018 2nd I was offered this by one of the top teams in our league and couldn't turn it down. I grabbed Woodhead off of waivers earlier in the summer, so I basically got Duke and a 2nd for free. I would have done the deal without the second. I love Duke Johnson. He wasn't great in week one, but everything I've read from Hue Jackson says he wants to get Duke more involved in the offense. Trade 4: Sammy Watkins + Alvin Kamara + Breshad Perriman + 2018 2nd + 2019 1st for David Johnson + Delanie Walker This was basically what I've been hoarding assets and youth for. Yes, Johnson is out for most of this season, but I'm looking forward with this one as well. Watkins wasn't even starting for my team (Hopkins, Keenan, and Thielen are my current starters, and I have Davis on the bench) at the moment. I like Kamara, but Perriman was on my roster bubble. The second rounder is the one I got in the Woodhead trade, too. I also addressed one of my biggest immediate weaknesses, which is the TE position. Oh, and I grabbed Kerwynn Williams off the waiver wire this week, so I've got DJ's handcuff. I was also really happy I was able to do this deal without giving up Davis, because he's one of those guys I just believe in and you need guys like that on your dynasty roster to root for. All in all, my roster currently stands at... QB - Matt Stafford, DeShone Kizer, Jared Goff RB - Melvin Gordon, David Johnson, Doug Martin, Duke Johnson, Giovani Bernard, Kerwynn Williams, Buck Allen, Eddie Lacy WR - DeAndre Hopkins, Keenan Allen, Adam Thielen, Corey Davis, Donte Moncrief, Nelson Agholor, Zay Jones, Mike Williams, Josh Doctson, Quincy Enunwa TE - Delanie Walker, Cameron Brate, OJ Howard K - Giorgio Tavecchio DL - JJ Watt, Trey Flowers DB - Landon Collins LB - Zach Brown, Navorro Bowman --- Scoring is .5 PPR. Also, IDPs get 1.5 per tackle, so they have a tendency to put up some solid games and I have three of the best starters in the league, provided Watt gets his shit together and stays healthy this year. Pretty happy with where my team is at now, though. It looks a hell of a lot better than it did right before our rookie draft. I would love to have a better starting QB, but at the same time, Stafford is basically a QB1 every year, so I'm not too worried. I'm also a little strapped for assets at the moment that I am willing to give up, so I don't really have the ammo to trade for a guy like Rodgers anyway. The guy I got DJ for also has Aaron Rodgers and is almost certainly going to be one of the worst teams in the league this year, so he may be getting a call from me later if Kizer or Goff continue to look really good and some of my young guys breaks out. If all goes well, I should be a playoff team this year, and I'll have DJ coming back right as the postseason is about to start. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bronn Stone Posted September 13, 2017 Share Posted September 13, 2017 Decided to give the Surivor League one more shot. PM me for an invitation. Read the thread here in Forum Games if you don't know how we do the format. Hint: It's nothing like the leagues where you pick an NFL team to not lose every week AND it's Roto.
