> Best Pick: Keepers Olave and Amon Ra made it possible for you to load up on Rbs. You went with volume plays (Jacobs, Najee, maybe Montgomery) rather than flash, which may work in your favor.
> 
> Worst Pick: With those keepers, you might have used a pick on a TE earlier. I know Okonkwo is a huge fantasy favorite, but with him as your only TE may cost you a week or two.
> 
> Overall: Better than it should be. Once again, two stud Wrs kept is a huge advantage, and I like how you balanced upside with production. I just worry that you have 3 4th tier Qbs taking up space and a risk at TE.
> 
> Celebrity: Seal. The flaws may be just surface level. With really good depth and some studs at the RB/WR positions, you may have a #1 hit and a supermodel wife. But there is still a chance you’ll show support for a Eastern European dictator (or your weakness at QB and TE) and it will all fall apart.

Amazing review as always!

I wasn’t expecting a superstar year out of Rodgers but I was hoping for a serviceable set and forget QB. That fell apart instantly so it will be interesting to see if Richardson can stay consistent and how long it takes Young to develop and become an actual option. I’ll definitely be making some moves but I really need to see some week 2 action to get a better baseline.

This has aged…interestingly.

Forgot to post a trade announcement: Dave gets Deebo Samuel, I get Amari Cooper. Since Aiyuk got injured almost immediately after the trade I suspect I am getting the worse end of the deal.

Yeah, well, now I can have Akers and Mattison for one of my RB positions, and have the joy of starting the one each week who gets less carries!

Silver linings, I guess.

Four weeks into the season and I’m basically eliminated. My injury luck has been horrible.

This is the third time in four weeks that I’ve lost a player to concussion after minimal production.

I just noticed that @Omniscient benched the Commanders’ defense (in fact, didn’t start one at all) against the Bears, which seems remarkably prescient given just how bad the Bears’ offense had been until this week.

Well he also left Justin Fields (39.10) on the bench… but hard to criticize him too much when his team put up 140+ points.

Tua is way more consistent at this point. We shall see how things shake out.

Also, benching Washington was an accident. Can’t take credit for that. It was a waiver claim and I didn’t get a chance to correct my lineup before Thursday kickoff. So, that was a serendipitous brain fart.

Wow. I had a chance to take first place, only to lose by a tenth of a point.

I don’t think I’ve ever been on the winning end of one of these.

Apparently there was a stat correction as it’s now showing last week as a tie

I don’t remember if I’ve ever seen a tie in a fantasy league where the points go down to the hundredth.

Whoever loses between Omni and I is probably going to be the second highest scorer of the week, I hate when that happens. Might end up being a consequential game with both of us at 4-2.

I’m now up to having had six different Rams running backs on my roster this season. Don’t know if that’s a record but it does speak of my desperation to find starting running backs.

I have Joe Burrow or Stroud available for anyone looking for a QB.

Well I’m probably not going to win a lot of games where Patrick Mahomes puts up less than a point.

I don’t keep up with Carolina but why is Miles Sanders totally useless? I thought he was projected to be their starter.
