Yeah, I let my faux red flags get in the way. I have the same issue when it comes to whether or not I should draft rookies(RBs especially).

Look at the bright side, at least you didn't get talked out of playing Alex Smith for Big Ben!

In addition to losing by 20 I lost 2 WRs this week, one of them being OBJ. It's a great fantasy year for me fellas.

Seems like this year is really turning into a war of attrition. Getting harder to fill holes on the waiver with so many injuries to the high end players.

I am hoping this leads to victory for me this year.... I have escaped any major injuries to my top players on all 3 of my teams.
I don't have the highest scoring teams, but thus far I have not lost anyone to IR.
Knock on wood.
Btw next week, Big Ben will finally go off, book it.

I've been fortunate as well. Between opponents making poor decisions and guys mostly healthy, I'm at 5-0 (technically 4-0, if Thielen scores 54+ and Diggs gets nothing, my opponent could win tonight). Managed to grab Rivers on Sunday morning, so didn't have to roll the dice on Trubisky. Would have still won, but we have a payout for highest scoring, so I have to push for those extra points.
Really want to make a trade to try to upgrade RB, but afraid to give any depth up with the way injuries have hit so far. My depth isn't great, but beats the heck out of what I see a lot of people dealing with right now.

I don't have Howard, nor any player on the Giants..... feeling pretty good.
Also hung on to AP in one league, was gonna drop him this week, but now ill hang on to him and see if he becomes a useful option at RB.

Someone in my league bid $30 FAAB on AP this week. Desperation kicking in for some of the teams in my league. Two teams that have been having to plug in any warm body at RB and praying.
I thought about being a jerk yesterday and bidding $31 (one of them only has $30 remaining for the season), but honestly, I'm ok with those lower tier teams getting him. Hopefully it doesn't come back to haunt me later.

AP isn't very good anymore, imo. If you look at his stats back to his last 2 Vikings games, they have been horrendous.

My thoughts exactly. I threw up a $10 bid just to make sure no one was able to steal him for cheap, but I also have spent an average of only $2 per week so far, so wasn't a big spend. No way I'm rolling the dice on AP rewinding time or the Cards O-line magically becoming decent for 1/3 of my waiver dollars.

Someone in my league threw out $36 for Aaron Jones and I'm sure the same would've been done for AP (he was drafted and never dropped). For teams in need of an RB I guess you just have to take the risk sometimes.

That is true. I still think that situation ends up being a RBBC. Not worth it.

I get it. There's a ton of bad situations at RB, and you have to make moves in an effort to score points. My RB situation isn't ideal, but there are certainly worse out there, so I'm just plugging along. WR's, QB and Def have been carrying me.

Dudes in ur league are nuts with their FA bids.... especially on RBs when ur lineup only requires you to play 1 RB
