And yet he wasn’t even the unluckiest player in the league this year. The weird thing about my season is that I didn’t actually have a close game all year until now. I either blew out my opponent or got blown out. I think my closest game was a 12 point margin.
It was a weird year all around. I was trying an on the fly rebuild, and certainly never thought I had the “to beat” team. But I had the depth and the timing worked out for me, and here we are.
The arrival of Jaxon Smith-Njigba and Trevor Lawrence, the resurgence of Johnny Taylor, the roller coaster ride of Jahmyr Gibbs, the cratering of Justin Jefferson and Brian Thomas Jr., and the steadfastness of Josh Allen were all interesting storylines. And all of them show just how much fantasy football is a week to week game.
Drake Maye scored 5 TDs this week so I’ve got the top 2 scoring QBs.
I have one RB, and no WRs, but at least I have kicker locked up and the 2nd best QB riding my bench. Optimal team construction.
I was thinking Loveland was a bit disappointing though the best TEs often don’t break out until year 2 but he racked up a bunch of solid games and shockingly was the Bears most prolific receiver with 713 yards, which is kind of shocking since they’re stacked for TE targets. So that seems pretty good.
Also, Kyle Pitts is a free agent. He’s going to sign with Kansas City and become the new Travis Kelce for the next 10 years and I will have to start considering starting 2 TEs like old times since I have no receivers.
I (unfortunately) now have to pay attention to the Cardinals coaching search and QB situation as Michael Wilson has finally turned into an asset
If the posted standings are correct I have the 2nd (mine) the 4th (Justin’s) and 9th picks (Jules).
Probably not the greatest draft class to load up on, but I will hopefully have a chance to start stacking up some players for a change.
I was really happy about my Jeanty-Judkins swap right up until the point where Judkins’ knee exploded.
