ESPN’s got Diontae Johnson at like #9 for non-PPR receivers this week but I’m going with Darnell Mooney who’s at like #25

Dalton’s starting, my league has a 10pt bonus for hitting 100 yards and Diontae drops every other throw and winds up at 90 yards.. Mooney’s been HOT with Dalton, going for it

not that I think Diontae Johnson’s usually worth starting

I’ve made a huge mistake.

For some reason I had your post in mind as your having started Diontae, and when I opened the thread to congratulate you I re-read it. Ouch.

Meanwhile, it doesn’t REALLY matter since I’m already in the playoffs, but my opponent this week has Justin Jefferson and George Kittle.

Ok, who’s the emergency waiver pickup at running back this week? I may not have a single option on my current roster. Taylor is on bye, Swift is out, and Pollard is questionable.

How it starts Image

How it ends Image

I didn’t realize fantasy playoffs start next weekend. From an 8-0 start to limping over the finish line. I just want playoffs to start so my team can be put out of its misery

Gaskin is the only drafted RB still on my team (on a bye and has COVID btw).

Took Julio Jones before Kupp, that's on me. "Settled" for Justin Jefferson when I couldn't get Ridley though.

If some combination of Hunt, Melvin Gordon and Miles Sanders goes off in the playoffs I still have a chance.

I've made the playoffs in the 2 leagues i care about, the Globey and another league.

but i also joined 3 public leagues on ESPN and didn't make the playoffs in any of them despite being the highest scoring team in one league and the 2nd highest scoring team in the other 2 leagues.

yeah i thought that 1 of the ESPN leagues got cancelled so did a 3rd. i think 3-4 leagues is a good number for me. 5 is too many

i am the points leader in my 12 teamer league and finished in 7th

i am in the playoffs this week against the 2nd seed who i outscored by 100 points this weekend and outscored by over 200 pts for the entire season

my team is definitely capable of winning it all

This is the very thing i want to avoid... I don't want to get too emotionally invested in one team so if i have more than 1 i'll never care too much about one of the teams

I went with one this year and haven’t gotten too into it. It honestly feels like this year has been even more of a crapshoot than last, and looks to get absolutely brutal with the COVID spikes.

I’m always wary to start players coming back from injury even though it never actually seems to matter.

Yeah…I totally forgot to switch them out…Julio Jones ruled out of game, zero points…Christian Kirk on my bench, 24 points….dear god I hate fantasy

Who's psyched for the COVID bowl? As if it weren't bad enough that my league's playoffs go through week 17.
