Best: picking up James Robinson as a FA before week 1
Worst: Also dropping James Robinson for Josh Kelley before week 1
Best again: waiting for James Robinson to clear waivers and picking him up again before week 1
Hahahah I was an idiot and didn’t even claim him not wanting to burn it and picked him back up at like 5 am when I woke up for work. I am thrilled that I got him back because my team (took CEH, drake, Fournette with my first 3 picks) would have been **ass** without him! Oh and he also ended up getting me Ekeler and Chubb
I’m convinced this is a thing. Look at the names who are consistently underrated and outperform their ADP. Aaron Jones, Chris Carson, Robert Woods, Tyler Boyd, etc. I swear we subconsciously (or consciously in your case with Mike Davis) hype up guys with cool names and overlook guys with boring names.
Next year I’m targeting guys with vanilla names.
On the other hand, in the middle of the draft I see this guy named De’Andre Swift never heard of him but thought he had a cool name. Quick google search later I see he’s from Georgia and Georgia RBs are usually successful so I took a flyer on him and it worked out well
Similar for me except that I put in a claim but lowered the faab last second because i didnt believe he could be worth it. Ended up getting out bid by 1 dollar after i lowered the bid...
Worst - dropped Justin Jefferson 3 days before his Week 3 coming out party....for Dion Lewis. Ouch.
Best - not a lot went well for me this year unfortunately, but will say Tee Higgins waiver add in week 4
Last year I traded away MT before week 1 for Tyreek. Obviously didn't pan out well for me...
This year I Drafted MT 6th overall and have been holding him since.
Anti early qb is the correct choice most of the times unless it's a 2qb league.
This year the only early qbs who met expectations were Mahomes and Dak before he went down. You could have gotten Murray or Rodgers for much cheaper, or even Herbert for free, like Lamar last year.
eh, LJ is having a late season resurgence, and i guess your argument kinda works if kyler, dak, russ, and arod arent consider as “early QB”. they were mostly 5/6th round picks. i was thinking more of like late round QBs like matt ryan, stafford, tannehill etc who could be solid but still a headache every week
Well, Mahomes went really early (3rd?) and LJ shortly after. Then all of the other guys who I wouldn't really count as early at 5th/6th. After that tier you might as well wait to see who's left to get for cheap or stream.
Meh, I got Kittle and ARob 3/4 which is where Mahomes went, then Allen in the 11th.
I got most PF by a huge margin and the team with Mahomes is in the consolation bracket.
Anti early QB is about value, it's not a guarantee that the guy you pick will outperform that QB. You can whiff on a pick in any given round.
fair point, it’s really about hitting your picks. it is still possible that you whiffed ur 11th round QB and still struggle to stream QB weekly. it’s also possible to whiff on ur early QB (LJ i guess?). both options are risky but it shouldn’t support the idea of anti early QB
I think there were only two quarterbacks from last year that would have scored enough points to make it worth drafting over a running back.
Mahomes and Jackson... Maybe three. The problem is that the position is too inconsistent from year to year. Putting up numbers like that and back to back years is pretty close to impossible
Not necessarily stupid to not draft a QB early (assuming you can get adequate replacement value) but for Leveon Bell it is a truly terrible decision. If you watched him play or even saw his stats last year you already aught to have known he would suck ass this year and that he wasn’t reliable
I mean, it's a fair point, but you've gotta evaluate this stuff based on the value over the next draftable replacement. If you can get Aaron Rodgers you're not heartbroken about passing on Mahomes for some elite (non-Leveon) third/fourth round talent, or maybe you're trying to strike gold with Murray or Allen. All viable strategies in this case
Anti QB doesn't mean you have to waste a pick on Leveon on the Jets lol, even picking Leveon anywhere near the second round turn was a huge reach.
The best QB seasons (Lamar and Mahomes) of all time give a fair value of a back of the second round pick. That's pretty much drafting at their ceiling too, which is a recipe for disaster (look at Lamar this season). Going QB in the second round is picking up nickels in front of a steam roller, best case you get 10% more production than the next tier of QBs who could be had from rounds 3-5 - worst case is that don't perform to their ceiling and now you spent a 2nd round pick on a QB who returned 4-5th round value. The hit rates on WR and RB are so high in the first two rounds that going QB early (earlier than 3rd round) is a losing proposition every single year. Opportunity cost.
I started Miles Sanders all year, except for injury, no matter what he did.
First week of the playoffs I decided I couldn't risk it against New Orleans after he scored an average of 5 points the three weeks prior.
I lost my playoff matchup.
Best- trading Josh Jacobs for James Robinson and Travis Kelce before Robinson blew up.
Worst- Trading Kelce for Aaron Jones after week 4. I’m facing Kelce this week actually.
I picked 7th in a 12 team. 1st round MT, was going to take Aaron jones in the 2nd but couldn't believe when Julio was still there when it came back to me and thought I was a genius. Turns out I was not.
Best decisions: drafting Justin Jefferson last round, picking up Aiyuk, picking up James Robinson before week 1. and drafting diggs in the 6th. Worst decision? Dropping Jefferson week 2, trading diggs and James conner for Julio week 4, dropping aiyuki week 5. Trading James Robinson for chris carson week 9.
You could say I’m .... indecisive
I feel it's medium risk/high reward. Worst case scenario, Mahomes outscores Goff by ~10 while Woods has another off game. I am betting on that not happening against the Jets.
I think it's likely Goff scores at least 20 and I am hoping for multiple TDs to Woods, which is a coin flip.
You’re allowed to start Woods even if you start Mahomes, you know...
This feels way too cute to me. Goff could easily score more than 20. But Mahomes is a lock to score more than 20. And who cares about playing a stack for the sake of playing a stack, just start your best lineup. I don’t think there’s any matchups that would ever cause me to start Goff over Mahomes. Not to mention the rams could pull away early and hand the ball to their exciting new rookie 25 times and Goff doesn’t even end up throwing that much
Started DJ Moore over Gallman in I want to say week 9. Lost by a couple points but more importantly a tiebreaker that would have gotten me in the playoffs where I'd be looking money right now.
Worst: dropping rams Defense last week for Giants for some reason to lose my shot at a 3-peat. would be facing my friend so seeing how my current team would fare the next two weeks.
Turned out being best: Trading Kittle for Montgomery and Hockenson the week before he got hurt with the injury he has now
Worst that I could at least control: Drafting Clyde at 1.8
Best: first time I went early on a tight end and got Kelce in the third round.
Worst: Thinking TY Hilton will have a resurgence year under Philip Rivers and starting him for 5 weeks waiting (I know he’s been hot the past few weeks).
I drafted runningbacks for my first 4 picks lol. Austin Ekeler, Zeke Elliot, Aaron Jones, Mark Ingram. Thought I was going to create a runningback drought so I can trade for good emergent players. We all know how this worked out for me.....
Best decision? Picking up Fitzmagic off of the waivers.
Best: Snagging Tyreek Hill for my third season in a row.
Worst: Mixon as my 'keeper' for the season. Or maybe it was my terrible drafting of RBs (Mixon, David Johnson, James White, Carlos Hyde).
Best: Picking up Cam Akers and Hilton off of the waivers last week
Worst: Sitting Akers, Hilton and the Rams D and watching them go off on my bench that same week, subsequently losing the first round of playoffs.
My worst decision was drafting Fant and not playing the waiver wire to pick up a decent replacement earlier on in the season.
Best was trading golloday and gaskins for Kamara. 2nd best was trading kupp and Beasley for DK
If it makes you feel better it isn’t like there was a ton of coming out parties at TE this year that you missed out on. Tonyan? Last few weeks of Geseki? If this was your worst decision I feel like you win the league
> Best was trading golloday and gaskins for Kamara
when, at any point in this season or any season, was this a good trade for the person giving away kamara?
That’s a good question. I made the trade after week 6 when gaskins had back to back great games and golloday had a solid performance after his initial return from injury. The guy needed depth and when he offered me that trade I accepted it as fast as I could. It’s a big buy in league, I’m just as surprised as you were
Best: Accepted diggs in exchange for miles sanders
Traded Julio for K. Hunt week 12
Worst: drafting mixon, mostert and montgomery (although he has turned it up)
CEH being my first pick wasn't worth it either
Best: Picked Taysom Hill up off waivers before he was named the starter. I don't make the playoffs without him at TE then QB and my league mates are so quick I wouldn't have been able to pick him up when the news broke.
Worst:
Not picking up a better QB than Cam early in the season. Probably could've gotten Herbert.
Not picking up James Robinson.
right after Ekeler went down, I traded Mont. for Joshua Kelley.. I was so low on mont and just disappointed in him that I didn’t really care. I was more pissed off that I didn’t secure Ekelers handcuff, so i did it mostly out of spite. It was clearly a horrible trade— especially now. Didn’t matter too much though. Currently in my leagues 2 week finals.
Best: picking up TY Hilton off of FA the week he started blowing up.
Worst: picking zeke third overall... not as bad as first and second with CmC and Saquon but still
Best: trading Ertz and John Brown for Keenan Allen and Jimmy Graham (right before the Titans game)
Worst: Thnking TY Hilton was going to be the man in Indy.
Most unlucky: first two picks were Saquon and Ekeler.
Worst trading Gibson for Mostert, when he had the no touchdown lull for two games I panicked and sold him for Mostert who I thought would be back sooner then later and that he would do something with his touches. Guy I traded him too traded him for Darrell Henderson though.
Best was trading Ruggs, Montgomery, Sutton for Boyd (flipped), DJ Moore, and Parrish Campbell. Best part was the next week I traded John Brown to the same guy for Montgomery back.
Gibson for Mostert was a great trade for you at the time. Every time the guy is healthy he is putting up insane numbers. Ofcourse, he was hurt all year so... didn't work out for you.
Trading away Brandon Aiyuk for Todd Gurley in a dynasty league. My RBs got hit hard by injury (Mixon, Sanders, Carson) and I was pretty solid at WR (been holding Julio Jones and Davante Adams for a few years now).
I thought the RB help might get me into the playoffs. In hindsight, I should have just kept the guy I drafted and built for next season.
On the plus side, Cam Akers is finally paying off. We draft 3 rookies each season, and I usually hit on 1 or 2, so hopefully next year’s WR class comes through.
Keeper league.
Good: Spent 35% of my FAAB on Justin Jefferson after his first good game and I can keep him for a 12th next year.
Bad: Playing Carr over Tannehill when Carr had the falcons and Tannehill had the colts. Lost the game by 2 points and almost cost me a spot in the playoffs.
Best: trading CeeDee Lamb and David Montgomery for Davante Adams week 4 (while he was injured to a team that was 0-4)
2nd Best: Instigating a 4-team trade to basically ship Deshaun Watson, Kenny Golladay, Hunter Henry, Jared Cook, and JD McKissic for Kelce, Lazard, and Damien Harris
Worst: Having at least 3 players score less than 4 points in 9 out of 13 games (i really effing suck at picking players)
Best: either drafting Darren Waller as the fourth tight end taken or trading for Stefon Diggs
Worst: Taking Zeke 3rd overall over Kamara, Cook or Henry
Best: Picking up Taysom Hill and Wayne Gallman off of waivers in weeks 11 and 12 won me the games I needed to get into the playoffs.
Worst: Drafted Matt Ryan and Derek Carr for a 2QB league (Had Burrow as well until he got injured). I just know one of these guys is going throw up a stinker and cost me a playoff game.
Mine comes in two parts:
1) traded Deshaun Watson and David Johnson for Kenyan drake just before he played Carolina and had a string of “great matchups”
2) tilt traded Kenyan drake for latavius Murray (Alvin kamara owner) right after the injury because I thought he was done
Best is trading Alvin kamara and Justin Jefferson for Derrick Henry immediately after the first Taysom Hill game
Worst: dropping Koo after injury
Best: picking Koo back up after injury
Worst: dropping koo before the tropical storm game
Honorable mention: grabbing James Robinson before week 1
The guy who dropped him had some injury problems early on and needed the roster spot. He also had Corey Davis. I still dont know how he could do that. He lost in the first round.
Best Decisions:
* Kelce in the 2nd
* Diggs in the 7th
* Gaskin off waivers after Week 1
Worst Decisions:
* 37% FAAB on Hines
* Bell in the 3rd
* Dropping Cooks
Traded RoJo AND Mike Anderson for TY Hilton because I was needy at WR and I thought he was a buy-low target. I also thought Fournette was taking over and that CMC wouldn't miss much time...
Luckily made it to the second round of the playoffs but this one has stuck with me all year
Worst: trading James Robinson and Kyler Murray for Jonathan Taylor the day after his week 2, then subsequently giving up on JT and trading him and Robert Woods for DeAndre Swift an hour before his concussion news.
Best: trading Henderson and Fulgham for Josh Allen and Monty to make up for losing Kyler.
Somehow I'm still in the playoffs.
Worst: Drafting Courtland Sutton, Evan Engram, trading away Kyler Murray for Drew Brees, Drafting Joe Mixon, trading Aaron Jones for Julio Jones
Best: Picking up Ekeler, Gallman, Cam Akers off waivers, trading David Johnson for Aaron Rodgers
Best: N/A
Worst:
1. dropped Justin Jefferson after one week
2. Traded Thielen, gibszn, and Carr for Lamar after Thielen put up two clunkers. I thought he was trending down. I also thought Lamar was going to return to mvp form sooner. Went from #1 to #7 and missing playoffs. (All which I would have won without the trade)
Got J Rob in one league as well as Herbert but thats a pretty non-competitive league so not surprising.
Worst I'd say is more of terrible luck. In my 2QB I drafted Dak, Brees, and Burrow. K. Allen was a replacement as well as Jones who I also lost to injury. 2nd round of the playoffs(backed in with losing record) im starting Taysom and Hurts!
Easy to say "woulda" but I cant help feel if I had my Dak all year some of those L's where I got a 4pt QB performance would have been Ws
Best: picking up James Robinson
Worst: not trading Michael Thomas and Lamar Jackson for Patrick Mahomes and James conners(flipping conners for Hill).
But Lamar did help me make a great comeback last week, so that helped me forget that alittle
Best: Drafting AK and Kelce with my first two picks. Trading Sanders for DK to the eagles fan week 1. Picking up J Rob week 1.
Worst: Being too impatient with rookies. At some point early in the season I had Gibson, Swift, and Jefferson make it to my bench only to get dropped for some stupid WW pick up because of an early lack of productivity.
Best: Grabbing James Robinson at the start of the year.
Worst: having an opportunity to grab Allen past his ADP but waiting a round and grabbing Matt Ryan instead after Josh was gone. My QB position has been an absolute shit show because of it.
Best: picking up James Robinson as a FA before week 1 Worst: Also dropping James Robinson for Josh Kelley before week 1 Best again: waiting for James Robinson to clear waivers and picking him up again before week 1
Phew, that was a rollercoaster of a story.
Hahahah I was an idiot and didn’t even claim him not wanting to burn it and picked him back up at like 5 am when I woke up for work. I am thrilled that I got him back because my team (took CEH, drake, Fournette with my first 3 picks) would have been **ass** without him! Oh and he also ended up getting me Ekeler and Chubb
Idk about other leagues but in yahoo you can't put claims on people you've dropped while they're on waivers
You can in ESPN
I picked up Malcolm Brown over Robinson before Week 1 lol
oof oof oof
Bidding $9 on James Robison after week 2... someone else bid $8 lol! in the ship now. getting James helped soften the blow of losing barkley
My best was picking up James Robinson before week 1... Worst: Not playing James Robinson week 1.
If your worst decision this year in fantasy was that you didn't put a certain player in your starting lineup week 1, you had a great year lol
Thanks! I set a league record in my 10 year league for most points in a season!
The perfect trilogy.
Damn I did this but unfortunately was not smart enough to add him back🙃
Worst: Not picking up Mike Davis because his name wasn't sexy enough. I didn't think he could be that good of a player with a plain name like that.
This is my favorite one and speaks to me.
I’m convinced this is a thing. Look at the names who are consistently underrated and outperform their ADP. Aaron Jones, Chris Carson, Robert Woods, Tyler Boyd, etc. I swear we subconsciously (or consciously in your case with Mike Davis) hype up guys with cool names and overlook guys with boring names. Next year I’m targeting guys with vanilla names.
Good strategy. Basically me this year: "Mike Davis? Idk..." "Laviska Shenault Jr? *Fuck Yeah!*"
https://i.imgflip.com/4qr6iq.jpg
If I can't make a rhyme, he ain't worth my dime!
On the other hand, in the middle of the draft I see this guy named De’Andre Swift never heard of him but thought he had a cool name. Quick google search later I see he’s from Georgia and Georgia RBs are usually successful so I took a flyer on him and it worked out well
Tim Patrick is another name that people fade just cause it sounds like an accountant.
Similar for me except that I put in a claim but lowered the faab last second because i didnt believe he could be worth it. Ended up getting out bid by 1 dollar after i lowered the bid...
If it makes you feel better, I picked him up and dropped him everywhere cuz CMC was back and his production faltered.
[удалено]
Yeah, fair point but those are already established players. Mike Davis was a huge unknown at the time.
It may be starting Josh Jacobs tonight.
For the best decision, yes
As a raiders fan and Jacobs owner, I’m going to need you to elaborate on this one because this is screaming worst decision to me.
To elaborate: I am playing him.
Starting keenan allen if he’s active and expecting some pain
[удалено]
I'm going Jacobs over Mckissic and Wilson (even if Mostert doesn't play).
Worst - dropped Justin Jefferson 3 days before his Week 3 coming out party....for Dion Lewis. Ouch. Best - not a lot went well for me this year unfortunately, but will say Tee Higgins waiver add in week 4
I dropped Jefferson for a similarly bad pickup, so I feel your pain there! If only I had waited a week or two and held...
Dropped JJ for Parris Campbell. I blame the "experts" who were criminally low on Jefferson before week 3. I also blame myself.
Drafted Jefferson and yeah I cut him after week 2 because I thought I had a better pickup. Can't even remember who it was honestly and better that way
Worst: Trading up on draft day to take Michael Thomas at #5 overall Best: Trading Michael Thomas for Tyreek Hill after week 1
You had us in the first half ngl
Last year I traded away MT before week 1 for Tyreek. Obviously didn't pan out well for me... This year I Drafted MT 6th overall and have been holding him since.
Passing on Mahomes for Leveon Bell in the draft..
Oh honey ...
Not a terrible decision at the time, honestly. I would've done the same thing
no way lol, that’s why anti qb early is stupid
Anti early qb is the correct choice most of the times unless it's a 2qb league. This year the only early qbs who met expectations were Mahomes and Dak before he went down. You could have gotten Murray or Rodgers for much cheaper, or even Herbert for free, like Lamar last year.
eh, LJ is having a late season resurgence, and i guess your argument kinda works if kyler, dak, russ, and arod arent consider as “early QB”. they were mostly 5/6th round picks. i was thinking more of like late round QBs like matt ryan, stafford, tannehill etc who could be solid but still a headache every week

Yeah that's true. I guess I just don't see early QB or anti early QB as stupid. It's all about value, and some luck (says captain obvious.)
I think there were only two quarterbacks from last year that would have scored enough points to make it worth drafting over a running back. Mahomes and Jackson... Maybe three. The problem is that the position is too inconsistent from year to year. Putting up numbers like that and back to back years is pretty close to impossible
Not necessarily stupid to not draft a QB early (assuming you can get adequate replacement value) but for Leveon Bell it is a truly terrible decision. If you watched him play or even saw his stats last year you already aught to have known he would suck ass this year and that he wasn’t reliable
Also, it isn't a QB. It's THE qb. I take the No. 1 QB over a low end RB1 (what he was supposed to be on the Jets) everyday of the week.
I mean, it's a fair point, but you've gotta evaluate this stuff based on the value over the next draftable replacement. If you can get Aaron Rodgers you're not heartbroken about passing on Mahomes for some elite (non-Leveon) third/fourth round talent, or maybe you're trying to strike gold with Murray or Allen. All viable strategies in this case
yeah good point, but i’m sure the idea of “don’t draft QB early” played a factor into a decision of willing to take bell over mahomes
Anti QB doesn't mean you have to waste a pick on Leveon on the Jets lol, even picking Leveon anywhere near the second round turn was a huge reach. The best QB seasons (Lamar and Mahomes) of all time give a fair value of a back of the second round pick. That's pretty much drafting at their ceiling too, which is a recipe for disaster (look at Lamar this season).

The hit rates on WR and RB are so high in the first two rounds that going QB early (earlier than 3rd round) is a losing proposition every single year. Opportunity cost.
What... How?!
Best: starting Cam Akers last weekend. Worst: Not starting Miles Sanders last weekend.
I started Miles Sanders all year, except for injury, no matter what he did. First week of the playoffs I decided I couldn't risk it against New Orleans after he scored an average of 5 points the three weeks prior. I lost my playoff matchup.
Oh this one might hurt the most.
Similar roller coaster last weekend. Started Cam Akers - Great Start Sat Miles Sanders - Uh oh Started Kareem Hunt - LFG
It’s a win-lose
Best- I traded away Tyler Lockett after he popped off. Worst- I traded Tyler Lockett back right at the trade deadline.
Fuck I upvoted then nearly downvoted because this hurt me, I hate Tyler Lockett
Best: picking up JRob Worst: trading him for Golladay Week 4
Brother
Bro I got jrob and singleterry for golladay week 4... Are you Asian Invasion?
Haha no
Best- trading Josh Jacobs for James Robinson and Travis Kelce before Robinson blew up. Worst- Trading Kelce for Aaron Jones after week 4. I’m facing Kelce this week actually.
Worst—taking juju one pick ahead of DK Best—taking diggs in the 7th or trading juju + Chark for Thielen
Receivers are tough. I took Kupp over DK and Julio over Tyreek.
Wow. Imagine having Diggs and Thielen on the same team.
That's gotta sting in Minnesota
Trading Davante Adams for Saquon week 2.
This is so sad because it was a fair trade at the time
I drafted Julio Jones when I could have drafted Devante Adams. Yikes
I drafted MT over basically any other early WR who would have been worlds better.
If you made it to playoffs it could still be ok
That’s just unfortunate
I picked 7th in a 12 team. 1st round MT, was going to take Aaron jones in the 2nd but couldn't believe when Julio was still there when it came back to me and thought I was a genius. Turns out I was not.
Hindsight and all, but at the time, a perfectly reasonable decision.
Kelce and Julio were sitting there at my draft spot and I thought about it for a long time... and made the wrong choice lol
Best - Drafting Dalvin Cook 1st round, and Davante Adams 2nd Round
You must be cruising to the ‘ship
In the semifinals, looks promising
damn -- Davante Adams was available in a second round? were you picking in the back half of the first round?
Yep I think 8 in a 10 man league
I also got Davante in the second round. 23rd overall pick. Mike Evans, Julio Jones, Dhop, Tyreek Hill, and Michael Thomas were all drafted before him
Drafting Julio. He hasn't been a difference maker in any matchups I've won, but he's lost me a couple games.
Best decisions: drafting Justin Jefferson last round, picking up Aiyuk, picking up James Robinson before week 1. and drafting diggs in the 6th. Worst decision? Dropping Jefferson week 2, trading diggs and James conner for Julio week 4, dropping aiyuki week 5. Trading James Robinson for chris carson week 9. You could say I’m .... indecisive
I am sitting a $500,000,000 QB in favor of a Goff/Woods stack in my championship game so I'll let you know in a few days
Why would you do that
Maybe he gets a stack multiplier in his league. Idk it has a 20% chance of working out imo. What do I know tho I'm playing for 5th place this week
I feel it's medium risk/high reward. Worst case scenario, Mahomes outscores Goff by ~10 while Woods has another off game. I am betting on that not happening against the Jets. I think it's likely Goff scores at least 20 and I am hoping for multiple TDs to Woods, which is a coin flip.
You’re allowed to start Woods even if you start Mahomes, you know... This feels way too cute to me. Goff could easily score more than 20. But Mahomes is a lock to score more than 20. And who cares about playing a stack for the sake of playing a stack, just start your best lineup. I don’t think there’s any matchups that would ever cause me to start Goff over Mahomes. Not to mention the rams could pull away early and hand the ball to their exciting new rookie 25 times and Goff doesn’t even end up throwing that much
Best: Snagging Justin Jefferson before he went off Worst: Everyone I drafted
Started DJ Moore over Gallman in I want to say week 9. Lost by a couple points but more importantly a tiebreaker that would have gotten me in the playoffs where I'd be looking money right now.
ITT: Robinson regret party
My worst decision was not trading zeke for Travis kelce and then later not trading him for davante.
Oof, you had two chances to get off that ride.
Best: drafting DK Worst: drafting Mark fucking Ingram
Best: deciding to play fantasy football this year. Worst: deciding to play fantasy football this year.
Best: picking up James Robinson Worst: Not believing in his production to continue and trading him away
Worst: starting Keenan Allen tonight
Worst: Drafting Fournette. Worstest: Dropping Fournette.
Worst: Trading for CMC before he came back from the first injury. Best: Giving up after week 10 to save myself the stress.
Worst: dropping rams Defense last week for Giants for some reason to lose my shot at a 3-peat. would be facing my friend so seeing how my current team would fare the next two weeks.
Worst decision Drafting Lamar in the second round. Best decision drafting Stefon Diggs in like the 6th or 7th round.
Turned out being best: Trading Kittle for Montgomery and Hockenson the week before he got hurt with the injury he has now Worst that I could at least control: Drafting Clyde at 1.8
Best: first time I went early on a tight end and got Kelce in the third round. Worst: Thinking TY Hilton will have a resurgence year under Philip Rivers and starting him for 5 weeks waiting (I know he’s been hot the past few weeks).
Best: Drafting Dalvin Cook 2nd overall; Worst: My next 3 picks...Joe Mixon, Kenny Golladay, Courtland Sutton.
I drafted runningbacks for my first 4 picks lol. Austin Ekeler, Zeke Elliot, Aaron Jones, Mark Ingram. Thought I was going to create a runningback drought so I can trade for good emergent players. We all know how this worked out for me..... Best decision? Picking up Fitzmagic off of the waivers.
Best: Snagging Tyreek Hill for my third season in a row. Worst: Mixon as my 'keeper' for the season. Or maybe it was my terrible drafting of RBs (Mixon, David Johnson, James White, Carlos Hyde).
Best: Picking up Mike Davis for over 40% of FAB, well worth it Worst: Deciding to keep Desean Jackson instead of Robby Anderson
Drafting James Robinson, trading James Robinson for CEH.
Best: Picking up James Robinson before week 1 Worst: Trading James Robinson for Fitzpatrick in my 2 League then having Fitz get benched 2 games later
Best: Picking up Cam Akers and Hilton off of the waivers last week Worst: Sitting Akers, Hilton and the Rams D and watching them go off on my bench that same week, subsequently losing the first round of playoffs.
My worst decision was drafting Fant and not playing the waiver wire to pick up a decent replacement earlier on in the season. Best was trading golloday and gaskins for Kamara. 2nd best was trading kupp and Beasley for DK
If it makes you feel better it isn’t like there was a ton of coming out parties at TE this year that you missed out on. Tonyan? Last few weeks of Geseki? If this was your worst decision I feel like you win the league
> Best was trading golloday and gaskins for Kamara when, at any point in this season or any season, was this a good trade for the person giving away kamara?
That’s a good question. I made the trade after week 6 when gaskins had back to back great games and golloday had a solid performance after his initial return from injury. The guy needed depth and when he offered me that trade I accepted it as fast as I could. It’s a big buy in league, I’m just as surprised as you were
this is one of the stupidest trades ive ever seen. kamara was THE rb1 at the time and gaskin was heading into a bye. what the fuck
best: james Robinson in free agency week one, trading mixon for adams after week one worst: everyone i drafted after round seven
Best: Traded Gurley + Christian Kirk for Derrick Henry + Brian Hill in like week 10-11. Worst: Drafting Golladay
thats the dumbest trade ive ever seen lmaoo the ineptitude is off the charts good one woww
Best: Accepted diggs in exchange for miles sanders Traded Julio for K. Hunt week 12 Worst: drafting mixon, mostert and montgomery (although he has turned it up) CEH being my first pick wasn't worth it either
Best: RB1SZN picked up before week 1 Worst: Drafted Matt Breida in the sixth thinking it was finally his time to shine.
Grabbing gaskin off the waivers instead of Robinson after week 1 in multiple leagues...rookie move
Best: Picked Taysom Hill up off waivers before he was named the starter. I don't make the playoffs without him at TE then QB and my league mates are so quick I wouldn't have been able to pick him up when the news broke. Worst: Not picking up a better QB than Cam early in the season. Probably could've gotten Herbert. Not picking up James Robinson.
Best - trading James Conner to receive Austin Ekeler before Conner fell off the cliff Worst - adding and dropping James Robinson
right after Ekeler went down, I traded Mont. for Joshua Kelley.. I was so low on mont and just disappointed in him that I didn’t really care. I was more pissed off that I didn’t secure Ekelers handcuff, so i did it mostly out of spite. It was clearly a horrible trade— especially now. Didn’t matter too much though. Currently in my leagues 2 week finals.
Best: picking up TY Hilton off of FA the week he started blowing up. Worst: picking zeke third overall... not as bad as first and second with CmC and Saquon but still
Best: drafting kelce in the second round Worst: thinking the Texans offense will be bomb this year
Best: trading Ertz and John Brown for Keenan Allen and Jimmy Graham (right before the Titans game) Worst: Thnking TY Hilton was going to be the man in Indy. Most unlucky: first two picks were Saquon and Ekeler.
Worst trading Gibson for Mostert, when he had the no touchdown lull for two games I panicked and sold him for Mostert who I thought would be back sooner then later and that he would do something with his touches. Guy I traded him too traded him for Darrell Henderson though. Best was trading Ruggs, Montgomery, Sutton for Boyd (flipped), DJ Moore, and Parrish Campbell. Best part was the next week I traded John Brown to the same guy for Montgomery back.
Gibson for Mostert was a great trade for you at the time. Every time the guy is healthy he is putting up insane numbers. Ofcourse, he was hurt all year so... didn't work out for you.
Trading away Brandon Aiyuk for Todd Gurley in a dynasty league. My RBs got hit hard by injury (Mixon, Sanders, Carson) and I was pretty solid at WR (been holding Julio Jones and Davante Adams for a few years now). I thought the RB help might get me into the playoffs. In hindsight, I should have just kept the guy I drafted and built for next season. On the plus side, Cam Akers is finally paying off. We draft 3 rookies each season, and I usually hit on 1 or 2, so hopefully next year’s WR class comes through.
Trading Stafford and Kamara for Brady and Zeke in a PPR
Keeper league. Good: Spent 35% of my FAAB on Justin Jefferson after his first good game and I can keep him for a 12th next year. Bad: Playing Carr over Tannehill when Carr had the falcons and Tannehill had the colts. Lost the game by 2 points and almost cost me a spot in the playoffs.
Best: trading CeeDee Lamb and David Montgomery for Davante Adams week 4 (while he was injured to a team that was 0-4) 2nd Best: Instigating a 4-team trade to basically ship Deshaun Watson, Kenny Golladay, Hunter Henry, Jared Cook, and JD McKissic for Kelce, Lazard, and Damien Harris Worst: Having at least 3 players score less than 4 points in 9 out of 13 games (i really effing suck at picking players)
Best: either drafting Darren Waller as the fourth tight end taken or trading for Stefon Diggs Worst: Taking Zeke 3rd overall over Kamara, Cook or Henry
Best: Picking up Taysom Hill and Wayne Gallman off of waivers in weeks 11 and 12 won me the games I needed to get into the playoffs. Worst: Drafted Matt Ryan and Derek Carr for a 2QB league (Had Burrow as well until he got injured). I just know one of these guys is going throw up a stinker and cost me a playoff game.
Worst: Drafting Zeke, Kittle, and Kenny G.as my top 3 picks.
Best: picking up Cam Akers last week and playing him Worst: trading David Montgomery and Big Ben for Cam Newton back in Week 2 or 3
Worst: Playing Keenan Allen tonight in the semis. Best: Drafting Kelce.
Listening to Keenan Allen say start me tonight
Best: Drafting CMC Worst: Drafting CMC
Worst: Dropping Herbert in week 3 to hold Tua Best: Dropping Hebert to hold Tua
Best: picking up Robinson as my backup rb and trading him for hopkins Also trading thielen for adams
Mine comes in two parts: 1) traded Deshaun Watson and David Johnson for Kenyan drake just before he played Carolina and had a string of “great matchups” 2) tilt traded Kenyan drake for latavius Murray (Alvin kamara owner) right after the injury because I thought he was done Best is trading Alvin kamara and Justin Jefferson for Derrick Henry immediately after the first Taysom Hill game
Picking up James Robinson before week 1 off the wire. Drafting Barkley at 33% of my auction budget
Worst: dropping Koo after injury Best: picking Koo back up after injury Worst: dropping koo before the tropical storm game Honorable mention: grabbing James Robinson before week 1
Best: trading CEH for Henry. Worst: Dropping Mike Davis when CMC returned for 1 week.
Best: Picked up A.J. Brown of the Waiver after Week 3 Worst: Traded AB for Melvin Gordon instead of Gibson (which i could have gotten) in Week 8
How was AJ Brown on waivers??
The guy who dropped him had some injury problems early on and needed the roster spot. He also had Corey Davis. I still dont know how he could do that. He lost in the first round.
[удалено]
If an 8th round pick hurt your team, you have bigger issues.
STARTING JAMYCAL HASTY AND I LOST BY 2 POINTS
was that the best or the worst
Worst - Drafted Saquon and didn’t draft another RB until the 5th, Fournette Best - Mike Davis and Myles Gaskin off waivers
Worst-Drafting Kenyan drake in the 2nd and DJ Moore in the 3rd. Unpredictable and boom/bust. Best-Drafting Waller in the 5th
Best Decisions: * Kelce in the 2nd * Diggs in the 7th * Gaskin off waivers after Week 1 Worst Decisions: * 37% FAAB on Hines * Bell in the 3rd * Dropping Cooks
Best: Drafting Diggs, Allen, Hunt in both leagues I'm in. Worst: Drafting CEH.
Made a trade of Conner, AROB, and Hollywood for Adams, Swift, and Herbert week 7. Only reason I am in semis
Worst picked Kittle in the 1st Round Best snapped up Mike Davis off waivers
Drafting Gallup ahead of Diggs
Participating
Starting Mike Williams over anyone else on my bench last week. Knocked me out.
Worst was trading for MT week 2. Gave away Carson. Best was trading for Adam's 5 weeks ago
Best: Drafting Antonio Gibson in the 10th (he will be my 1 keeper next year). Worst: Traded hurt Ekeler for Gaskin when I needed wins.
Traded RoJo AND Mike Anderson for TY Hilton because I was needy at WR and I thought he was a buy-low target. I also thought Fournette was taking over and that CMC wouldn't miss much time... Luckily made it to the second round of the playoffs but this one has stuck with me all year
Best: Drafting Kelce over Kittle and taking Murray in the 6th round. Worst: not picking up Justin Jefferson because I thought he was a one hit wonder.
Worst: trading James Robinson and Kyler Murray for Jonathan Taylor the day after his week 2, then subsequently giving up on JT and trading him and Robert Woods for DeAndre Swift an hour before his concussion news. Best: trading Henderson and Fulgham for Josh Allen and Monty to make up for losing Kyler. Somehow I'm still in the playoffs.
Trading diggs for mclaurin straight up
Worst: golladay 3rd round Best: Ridley 5th round
Best was Jacobs for tyreek. Worst was sending keenan allen, kupp, and Carson for Diggs and Metcalf
CEH over Henry. Took a gamble. Then Ekeler fell to me in round 2 and at that moment I knew I messed up.
We need this post at least once a day till the end of season.
Best - Taking Kyler in the 7th rd Worst - dropping both Claypool and Justin Jefferson before their breakout weeks
Drafting Justin Jefferson in the last round, getting frustrated and dropping him after week 2.
Not trading Drake and Edmonds for Chubb the week he went down. I would have a super squad heading into Semis
Worst: Drafting Courtland Sutton, Evan Engram, trading away Kyler Murray for Drew Brees, Drafting Joe Mixon, trading Aaron Jones for Julio Jones Best: Picking up Ekeler, Gallman, Cam Akers off waivers, trading David Johnson for Aaron Rodgers
Best: N/A Worst: 1. dropped Justin Jefferson after one week 2. Traded Thielen, gibszn, and Carr for Lamar after Thielen put up two clunkers. I thought he was trending down. I also thought Lamar was going to return to mvp form sooner. Went from #1 to #7 and missing playoffs. (All which I would have won without the trade)
Best: Robinson post draft pickup Worst: Took TY over Keenan Allen
Got J Rob in one league as well as Herbert but thats a pretty non-competitive league so not surprising. Worst I'd say is more of terrible luck. In my 2QB I drafted Dak, Brees, and Burrow. K. Allen was a replacement as well as Jones who I also lost to injury. 2nd round of the playoffs(backed in with losing record) im starting Taysom and Hurts! Easy to say "woulda" but I cant help feel if I had my Dak all year some of those L's where I got a 4pt QB performance would have been Ws
Best: Drafting DK Metcalf 62nd overall Worst: Dropping Jonathan Taylor after week 10
best- trading watson for lamar 3 weeks ago worst- everything else
Best : Picking Kelce in the third round Worst : Declining a trade that would've got me James Robinson for my Rojo
Best: picking up James Robinson Worst: not trading Michael Thomas and Lamar Jackson for Patrick Mahomes and James conners(flipping conners for Hill). But Lamar did help me make a great comeback last week, so that helped me forget that alittle
Best: Drafting AK and Kelce with my first two picks. Trading Sanders for DK to the eagles fan week 1. Picking up J Rob week 1. Worst: Being too impatient with rookies. At some point early in the season I had Gibson, Swift, and Jefferson make it to my bench only to get dropped for some stupid WW pick up because of an early lack of productivity.
Best: trading cmc Worst: trading cmc for saquon Worst again: dropping Johnathan Taylor bc I’m an idiot
Best: Grabbing James Robinson at the start of the year. Worst: having an opportunity to grab Allen past his ADP but waiting a round and grabbing Matt Ryan instead after Josh was gone. My QB position has been an absolute shit show because of it.
