My fantasy league...

[PhilSimms11]

WEEK 1 is in the books.
I lost by 5. Dammit. I'd rather lose by 40...like the Giants.
I didn't have a bad week. I scored the 5th most (out of 10) in the league.
QB Justin Herbert--16
RB Austin Ekeler--24
RB Saquon Barkley--8
WR Mike Evans--16
WR DK Metcalf--11
WR Chris Godwin--9
Flex WR DeAndre Hopkins--11
K Riley Patterson--3
Total--98

I guess it's human nature. That guy scored so I gotta get him. I attempted to get Josh Kelly since I have Ekeler, but lost out on waiver priority.

who'd you get out of that grouping?
I added a ton of Puka and Kyren but only started Puka in my leagues

 

[PhilSimms11]

I'll be 1-1 after this week...winning convincingly. I had 3 Bucs in my lineup...Evans, Godwin, White. They did quite well. I didn't have Ekeler (ankle) and now I've lost Barkley (ankle) for a few weeks...DAMMIT.

I only put in for Josh Kelley and missed out. He's not on the list but I did pick up Christian Kirk. Someone dropped him after week 1. I picked him up as insurance. Mark Andrews was Q, Brandin Cooks was O, and I don't trust DeAndre Hopkins.

I do have DK Metcalf, Mike Evans, Chris Godwin so I have decent depth as long as TB stays productive.

 

[PhilSimms11]

I just picked up Kareem Hunt in the chance the Browns re-sign him for the Nick Chubb injury.

Those would have been the guys to go after. ...

My week 3 lineup.
QB-Justin Herbert...hoping for a shootout with MIN

RB-Gus Edwards...should be the man with Justice Hill out
RB-Rachaad White...definitely the man in TB's backfield

With Austin Ekeler and Saquon Barkley out these are pretty good options.

WR-DK Metcalf...I'll have to stay tuned with his rib injury
WR-Mike Evans...could be the steal of my draft if he keeps it up
WR-Chris Godwin...he's done okay so far; hopefully gets a TD this week

TE-Mark Andrews...as long as he's healthy he's in my lineup

K-Riley Patterson...hopefully some FGs are in the near future

K-Justin Tucker...he became available and I pounced

I now have 3 Bucs and 3 Ravens in my lineup.

Personally, I'd seriously consider swapping out Godwin for Kirk with Jones out. ... but I tend to lean towards NOT putting all my eggs in one basket. ... Evans is the guy there.

Not a bad idea. I just might do that. Thanks for the suggestion.

Lucked out big time this week. Going in to MNF I was down by 19 with Mike Evans and Rachaad White going. They finally came to life on their final scoring drive and I ended up winning by 2. I'm playing musical chairs with my RBs...

OUT--Saquon Barkley (ankle), Austin Ekeler (ankle)
Q--Gus Edwards (concussed)

I do get Alvin Kamara this week and there's a possibility Barkley is back...however, he plays MON night. What if they give me the proverbial "just kidding"...he's out another week?
I also have Kareem Hunt. Not sure how valuable he is right now.

I lost because I switched my kicker from Sanders to Dicker. Mike Evans scoring made it close enough for me to

One dilemma I have this week is Saquon Barkley. Does he play or doesn't he? They play MON night. Matt Breida is not available...so, I don't have the luxury of wait-and-see. Not sure I'd want to play Breida anyway. My choices are:

Barkley (Q)
Gus Edwards
Austin Ekeler (D)
Kareem Hunt
Alvin Kamara--definitely playing him
Josh Kelley--leaning toward playing him...rolling the dice
Rachaad White

I need Barkley and Ekeler to get right.

Sounds like Gus is playing

Yep. He's been cleared and good to go.

Kamara and Rachaad White for me, expecting high usage rates for both, gives you an extra week to let your studs heal up
