2022 Complain about your fantasy team that no one cares about discussion
UMFan83 replied to UMFan83's topic in Fantasy Sports
I swapped out Patterson for Herbert at 11:50 after reading he was going to be limited this week. Of course Patterson scored a TD on the first drive of the game -
Wow this defense is horsefeathering terrible

2022 Complain about your fantasy team that no one cares about discussion

I’d say Fournette thought very tempting to start Patterson against the Chargers poor run defense. I’d just be worried that Patterson is eased back into the mix. Fwiw I’m torn trying to decide between starting Patterson and Khalil Herbert. -
Next games are @Texas, @Baylor, vs Iowa St and if they win all of those most likely K-State in the championship game. They will almost certainly lose one or more of those but who knows
-
That we know about yet
-
Phillies seem very 2017-2020 Cubs to me. Feast or famine offense. At the end of the season when we played them the offense was struggling big time. Then the playoffs started and they caught fire before nosediving again halfway through the World Series.
-
Mine would be Georgia, OSU, Michigan, TCU but my prediction is Georgia, OSU, Michigan, Tennessee (TCU 5th) Like last week it ultimately won’t matter because if they go undefeated they will likely jump OSU/Michigan loser or Tennessee (by virtue of winning conf championship game while Tennessee doesn’t play in theirs)

I don’t think I’ve ever seen Dusty this animated
-
Maybe I’m just soft but I’m happy for Dusty. The anger from his cubs tenure is still there but the guy has gotten so close so many times. Clearly hanging on continuing to manage so that he could win one. Maybe he can retire now That said I would have completely relished another Dusty team choking

Reading that Vegas wasn’t even taking bets on the moneyline for OSU/NU. With 1:36 left in the first half it’s tied 7-7 lol
-
Pat also had the ball stripped going to the hoop seconds earlier before the 3. No one can say we didn't give him a chance to do something with the game on the line.
-
lol
-
Game isn’t over yet either lol I mean, I get it. There’s no chance - and I mean NO CHANCE - a dominant Astros team would ever lose Games 6 and 7 at home in the World Series to a far inferior NL East team. So tonight really is it for the Phillies. I started responding and then I realized you are probably making a funny and know about the 2019 Nationals
-
How? Houston is the team that blew a 5-0 lead in Game 1. Also obligatory “the series isn’t over yet”. Game isn’t over yet either lol

I was gonna go as far as trading for him in one league to really jinx us, but my league mate had no interest. My other league he's actually still available, but I have Hurts and am in it to win it whereas the other league I'm last place and trolling for possible keepers now. Also it's a 6pt passing TD league, so running heavy QBs can be slightly muted value wise. I made a bold move to make Fields a keeper after I owned him last year. I literally came thisclose to dropping him after week 4. Tried to dangle him in a trade but including him actually decreased the value of the trade I was offering in other team's eyes. I think I started Bridgewater over him one week (superflex). But now he's a must start. I always hated owning Bears in fantasy because more often than not they were a disappointment and I hated when they failed my fantasy team and my real life team, but in his case its helping both for once!

Robert Quinn would have been one but he missed the Bears game vs. Minnesota. Eagles already had their bye and he played for them last Sunday. Quinn played 50 snaps against Minnesota, he just didn't register anything in the box score. He could be the first 18 gamer since they standardized the schedule. Whoops. I couldn’t remember him not playing a game but since he didn’t register a game played I assumed he missed it. Instead he just did nothing
-
Who is Fountain? Practice squad guy. Played in a handful of NFL games in past years.
-
Obviously he'll get his bye in week 14, but with all this trade activity I was wondering... Has a guy ever started more than 16 games (pre 2021) or is anyone slated to start 18 games this year because they didn't catch either end of the bye and got traded? Robert Quinn would have been one but he missed the Bears game vs. Minnesota. Eagles already had their bye and he played for them last Sunday.
-
Claypool practicing today. They're definitely gonna have a package of plays for him to be in for this weekend. So much for that Steelers bye week he was on lol

Kyle Schwarber has now homered in every possible playoff series NLWC - 2015 Cubs ALWC - 2021 Red Sox NLDS - 2015 Cubs (2) ALDS - 2021 Red Sox NLCS - 2015 Cubs (2), 2017 Cubs, 2022 Phillies (3) ALCS - 2021 Red Sox WS - 2022 Phillies

To play devil's advocate, we saw this approach under Trestman. Best offense the Bears have had and a historically bad defense ruined the season. The Bears have a ways to go to get to a 20ppg, 5 y/p defense after losing Roquan. Quinn isn't a big factor, but Smith was....and they already needed pretty much everything else on the front 7. But yeah, I don't care about a crippled defense in a rebuilding season. But they are going to have to put significant resources into that side of the ball this offseason as well. Not just on the offensive side. I think he's just talking about this season. No way Eberflus is going to be happy with an all offense/no defense team long term.
-
Almost forgot LaVine has the ability to literally take over games and will the Bulls to victory. Nice win

Well Michigan is getting docked for their weak NC schedule even though Clemson has played Furman and Louisiana Tech for their NC games which is just as bad if not worse. Michigan has also played 3 teams that by SP+ are better than the best team Clemson has played. Michigan also crushes them on computer metrics and has beaten every team on their schedule by 2+ scores (except Maryland who scored a prevent TD when the game was already over), while Clemson has 3 wins of 6 points or less (including 1 in 2OT). Blah blah blah it doesn't matter ultimately, but Clemson pisses me off because there really isn't a ton of things you can point to where Clemson is ahead of Michigan.
