I know... he's having a mare isn't he. Not much on waivers and it's 100% guaranteed he'll start to become useful as soon as I drop him. Persevere this week, TB are one of the worst vs TE. He'll be out next week probably though, Hockenson can fill in until Brees returns when Cook's volume should increase. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You shouldn't drop him; He'll grow into the offense - and after our bye (maybe even the week before) we'll have Drew Brees back who will get the ball to him far more often than Teddy is. I'd just be surprised if he has anything like a big game with Teddy. We're playing risk aversion offense with Teddy; in the redzone, everything either goes to Kamara or Thomas - our safest pairs of hands. Brees will absolutely target Cook in the redzone.

Ambitious Posted October 2, 2019 Share Posted October 2, 2019 After watching our secondary in the last game, I'm all in on DK Metcalf to bring home the W this week! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Been getting targeted less and less, I noticed; Looked like a ROTY contender in week one. I think my teams going to ride or die on what Melvin Gordon does with his limited snaps. Not a good week for my WR corps at all; unless Watkins or Brown start living up to their WR1 status, which they haven't done in two weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Opponent has scored about as projected, so far +2 or so points across the 3 players played. If that remains true for both of us I win; but my lineups more high risk high reward so way more liable to score way below projected - which is the reason I've lost the last two weeks (that plus a terrible decision in both weeks) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In hindsight, I did pretty poorly picking my WRs while under the impression Gordon was going to be out for over half the season. But - I think if I had got one of the true WR1s, it would have been to give up Pat Mahomes - so, 6 of one. Got very lucky Gordon's come back so quickly.

jimbo jones Posted October 4, 2019 Share Posted October 4, 2019 probably not the greatest strategy picking 2 WRs with your first 2 picks, but I’d have expected a bit more from Hopkins & Thielen, especially Hopkins who’s done bugger all since week 1. Fingers crossed this is the week they come to the party, or I’m screwed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I benched Thielen last week, as I knew what was coming in Chicago ?♂️ I’m fairly confident he will be more involved this week though. Atlanta should be a good matchup for Hopkins ?

I'm hoping Houston is a good matchup for Sanu too, cos big Kenny's on bye. Watkins and Brown are undroppable cos of the amount of targets they're seeing but they're doing duck all with them of late. Really aggravating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dropped Brown for Gallman last week in another league, which worked out well. Not sure that’s a good plan up against the Vikings run defence though.

Once you get outside of 8 teams you're basically reliant on outsider information for who to pick up that doesn't play for your team/in your division ? I picked up Ted Ginn recently because I was fed up of constantly picking up players I'd never heard of - literally the only reason. That and I think he'll be a good WR2 option when Brees is back.

It’s a 12 team league, double flex on sleeper. Set up from the uk Vikings Facebook group. I don’t know how I’ve got the team I’ve got, it’s ridiculous, I’m 4-0 so far, i’ll Screenshot my team...originally I had Roethlisberger at QB and Gostkowski at kicker, and I think Ito Smith was in there. there was some serious reaching for Vikings players going on that probably helped me out, as you can see I don’t have any, hence why I’m doing so well ?

In a 12 team league that is frankly absurd. Two top 10 RBs, two top 5 WRs, two top 5 TEs ? - how the hell has that happened?? The other players must have drafted the entire Vikings squad!

I know ? if I remember right m, the draft went... cmac, Kelce, Allen, Henry, cupp, Andrews, I was amazed those last 4 were there each time. I reached for the Bears D and went really late on a QB, unlike this league where I reached for Baker effing Mayfield ?♂️ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
