My fantasy team...I'm going all-in

[TD alt]

My fantasy league is named Any Given Sunday. It's a Yahoo friends and family league that's existed since 2008. There's no money involved, just bragging rights. The participants love it, and we love mixing it up and talking sh¡t to one another. I've won the trophy five times (and almost a close sixth), so they love beating me (and seeing me win, oddly). I'm on a four year drought though. So this year I kinda said, "fug it, I'm going all-in on my guys." Amid that, I did something that I never do and went RBs one, two and three, with the critical---some would say the "crazy" move being Chuba at three. So now I'm light on receivers. But, I was ultimately able to get my guys.

Dave Canales is already talking crazy talk, suggesting that he's not going to let Chuba run wild in so many words (so I learned in the other thread). I bristle at that. I'm giving Bryce a lotta faith by extension. He's on the wire (but I may as well have played him for all Dakota did the other night). I obviously believe in Tetairoa. He could be my WR1 (other than Scary Terry). I picked up X late, and I'm hoping that he will make the league hate that I did because it was kinda disrespectful for him to be drafted in the 12th round if you ask me. As for JT Sanders, I picked him up as an aside because as we all know, the pickings at TE are slim (especially when you have to try and build a complete team after taking three RBs so early). I hope that Sanders comes through, then I might be looking good. 

So, yeah, I kinda went all-in. If there was ever a time for our offense to come alive, I need them to do it this season.  Bryce needs to continue on his ascension from the end of last season, and Canales needs to let Chuba run the damned rock. We have insurance in Rico (as do I), so let Chuba do his thing. If our offense doesn't work this season, then we're just fùcked, and so am I most likely. But I have faith. Now let me go move Golden back to W/T spot. I have faith in X, but no so much that I'm playing him over Golden tomorrow.

And for those curious to see a more complete picture:

If CMC can't go (which he probably will, as I heard they're just being overly cautious), then I will move Chuba into the dedicated RB slot and will indeed begin my season with T-Mac and X playing. Keep pounding all the way.

I have the same two in one league (out of eight... I might have a problem). Got the less than 10pts combined special too?

I'm still amazed that major networks have shows dedicated to Fantasy Football, and people watch it.  

It would be like Fox News having a weekly show with people telling you what lottery numbers to play.

It's fun, but it's complete luck and no one actually knows what's good / bad.

My neighbor and I just last night got into a debate/argument about fantasy "insiders".  At this point there is so much data and info out there that any brain dead idiot can know info about some supposed expert on the internet or tv show.   FF is a game of complete luck with little skill

Ha ha. Are you saying that in response to the whole team, or just the Panthers? LOL 

I was ninth, so I was stuck between C-Mac and someone lesser, and I really should've picked a receiver when I picked Chuba. But, YOLO. If CMC gets hurt, I hope that this San Fran writer was correct in his assertion that Guerendo is simply the better, more explosive backup. I know they signed Brian Robinson, but I think he's JAG more than anything else. Guerendo has a bit of an injury history himself, but he is 220 with legit 4.3 speed. I must admit that I took my chances with the receivers. I actually traded Chubb and Mixon for T-Mac. I'm hoping that Ollie Gordon learns the top spot in Miami and that Dont'e Thornton becomes the top dawg in Vegas. If that happens, I'll be great. Between Pearsall, Thornton, Golden, Coleman and X, someone has to break out. I also have Christian Watson in an IR slot (though I want to put something together to acquire Rashee Rice).

I disagree wholeheartedly. In numerous fantasy leagues, you have one or two guys that always seem to be there at the end. FF takes a certain amount of luck for sure---maybe even a generous amount, but it also takes skill which is based upon research, calculation and a certain amount of fortitude and fearlessness. 

On an off note, my grandad used to say, "Luck is the residue of hard work."

Lol yeah mainly the panthers players, but you’re also playing with fire having CMC IMO. But i know the struggles of drafting late. I drafted 10th and 12th in my two leagues. But I managed well.
