I will likely finish with the third highest score in the league this week, and I'm about to be handed the trophy for biggest all time blow out loss in a the leagues 13 year history. My opponent have every guy blow up....Time to learn my lesson and quit Fantasy.

Gaskin is likely a decent RB2 and a viable flex at worst. I'd keep him over the likes of DJ Moore.

I need to draft more RBs next year.

Thinking of benching Dak vs Panthers and starting Burrow vs Jax.

Is this a really bad idea?

I don't think the matchup vs Dak is enough for you bench Dak who is coming off a pretty decent week. Maybe I just don't believe in Burrows but unless you were streaming QBs all year without a Dak who should be a top 10 QB I'm not sure it's worth the risk.

My fear is that DAL/CAR is going to be 10-7

Carolina does have a better defence this year, but the Texans with Davis Mills, and the Jets with Zach Wilson are two of the worse offences in the league, and the Saints play very conservatively too.

So the Panthers have not really had a good test this year with a team that has playmakers like Dallas does at receiver in terms of opponents who will challenge you vertically.

If anything I would think Cincinatti will be more conservative on a short week and try to run the ball 30 times with a 10 point lead against Jacksonville, particularly if the Jags turn the ball over and get behind as they often do.

I need to draft more RBs next year.

Maybe, depends on your scoring format. Last week the top two picks in my league both RB's combined for 6 points...and could miss this week depending on Cooks health. It can be a fickle position. In a PPR league....no way you regret the D.J. Moore pick right now. I should have reached a bit to pick Alex Mattison since I have Dalvin Cook...but outside of the top 10 running backs in PPR, it can be really hit or miss. Nick Chubb was a 1st or 2nd round pick in a lot of leagues and Kareem Hunt was like a 5th or 6th. So if you grabbed Hunt you got the value. Taking Chuba Hubbard in the 8th round or Alex Mattison in the 7th type of thing looks brilliant now but outside of Mattison last week, it probably hasn't helped you win much yet.

I got Devante Parker on waivers this week, and was immediately offered Josh Gordon for him. The #2 WR with the Chiefs really doesn't produce much, and Gordon is huge risk. But is it worth it as insurance in case Tyreek Hill was forced to miss a few games? Parker is a guy who falls down a bit when Fuller returns, whereas Gordon has that faint hope of maybe being excessively valuable in week 14 even if it's 2%.

I'm weak at WR and picked up Gordon as soon as I heard he was going to be re-instated. I'm also holding the same lottery ticket.

This would be a pretty lateral move in my opinion but I have Adam Thielen and am considering trading him for Keenan Allen. Thoughts? I have Herbert as my qb if that makes a difference.

No crap, how many points did that group combine for tonight? In a PPR league like mine they would have been around 170. That quintet alone would have beat 10 of the 12 teams in my league. Nice week for you.

Had a 55 ppint lead going into MNF with Brown still to play.

Went up against Lamar, Andrews and Tucker. I was sweating a 3 point lead at the Brown TD catch

Who would you have as your first waiver priority pickup:

RB Darrel Williams (KC)
or
RB Devontae Booker (NYG)

Chiefs play WFT
Giants play Rams

Leaning towards Williams, but I am afraid McKinnon will steal some of his touches. But, the Chiefs have the more favorable matchup.

Williams was at a point where he was worth playing as a RB2 during this stretch of bye weeks if CEH was healthy. So I'd go with him since he likley gets the better chances. He's a decent receiver, was already the preferred goal line back, and he should get a pretty good work load. I don't think MacKinnon is going to vulture too much from. He's more of a third down, two minute drill type back. I tried to get Williams 3 weeks ago, but lost out on waiver prioirty as I was like 4th in line at that time.

Right now with the rate the Running Backs are going down, it's worth scouring rosters for third stringers to keep as hand cuffs to the hand cuff.

Do I pick up a Williams and drop Beasley? Beasley has been pretty inconsistent but I’m afraid I’ll regret dropping him. I also have McKissic on my bench.
