Forgot about that game. I’d side bet the under on 80 rushing yards from Gus.

Has to be the five day kind or they'd be putting more dudes in there as "high risk" if he actually tested positive.

That makes some sense. I'd hate to lose Thielen and McLaurin in the same week.

I picked up Akers as a speculative add for ROS. Had a roster spot available and I figure he is the best upside option at RB on waivers

You have to think he will get in sorta like Dobbins at some point

Also related to tonight

Bucs WRs targets in last 2 games:

Mike Evans - 17
Antonio Brown - 13
Chris Godwin - 11

I'm so screwed. I've depended on Justin Jackson, now Kalen Ballage.

They call that making lemonade out of shite.

Find a replacement or trade, quick.

Maybe Ballage will still be worth something.

I've probably got Mike Davis for another week, and Gallman will be serviceable for a minute.

I'm happy with CEH and McKissic as my starters.

I'm just really embarrassed about how I drafted.

Not bad but not overly encouraged with his workload. Hopefully he can cut into some more plays and touches

So, in my defense, I haven't played fantasy football since 2012, and I may have watched 5 NFL games since then. This year was my first year back, and my first year to ever play PPR.

Here's a list of my idiot mistakes:

1. I drafted CEH in the first round, with Kamara, Cook, and Henry all available.

2. I drafted Godwin with my second pick. Tyreek Hill, Aaron Jones, DeAndre Hopkins all available.

3. I drafted Burrow in the 7th. He was great, but I probably could have picked him up later.

4. I used my 9th and 11th picks to get a defense and a kicker. I got the Steelers, and that's awesome, but I could have streamed that minor position. I dropped that kicker later on.

I drafted Rodgers in the 3rd, and Ridley in the 5th. I feel like those were steals. I picked up Le'Veon Bell in the 4th, but I feel like I can hardly be blamed for that. RB talent was drying up.

I feel like a winning draft strategy in PPR is to spend your first 7 picks on the best WR, RB, and single QB you can pick up. I got lucky picking up Waller in the 6th, but I'm not sure he was worth it. DJ Chark, AJ Brown, Keenan Allen, Terry McLaurin, TY Hilton all got picked up from the time I drafted Waller in the 6th to my 7th pick. Any of those guys would have made solid year-long flexes for me.

I also drafted Jerry Jeudy and Zack Moss and dropped both of them for other options right before they both blew up.

ETA: Be gentle with me. All that retardation above, and I'm still 4th in my 12 team league.

That's wishful thinking. He's not relevant when Ekeler comes back

Not even as a flex?

What about Justin Jackson?
