I only need 29 points from Mark Andrews tomorrow...its not impossible...
I need 26 from Kelce tonight. PPR league so basically I need Mahomes to hit him a bunch of times and get him in the endzone 1 or two times. 8/120 with a TD and I'm there!
I was down 45 points going into last nights game. My opponent had Kelice and the KC kicker. I had Mahomes and Tucker the Baltimore kicker. I lost 157-156. If we had tied, I would have lost anyway, because our tie breaker is bench points. My bench sucks. I had Debo Samuels(IR) and Goedert on my bench(injured in his game). That was two zeros. I would have won anyway if I had played Gibson(WFT) instead of listening to the so called experts saying Joshua Kelley was a good pick up off the waiver wire.
Live and Learn I guess.

Ugh. Two people dropped Josh Kelly and Malcom Brown in my league. I desperately need running backs, but unfortunately I squandered my waiver claim this week (we reset weekly based on rank) on Tee Higgins not expecting two very addable RBs to become available.
The Steelers vs. Vikings game is in limbo. Our league commish says use your bench players for those players on your roster should the game be postponed/cancelled. I have Conner and the Steeler defense. Looks like this is not my year.
Injuries and this postponement are brutal for my team.
MT - likely out
Chris Carson - likely out
Deebo Samuel - out
McKinnon - game time decision
Crowder - likely to play, but not 100%
Planning my lineup like MT and Carson are out.
QB: Rogers
RB:Cook
RB: Peterson
WR: Metcalf
WR: Jeudy/Crowder
WR: Cole Beasley/Curtis Samuel
TE: Hunter Henry
Flex: McKinnon
The plan is to play Beasley if Brown is out for the Bills. If McKinnon doesn't give it a go, then I'll be forced to start Samuel and Beasley or Dobbins in the flex. Currently leaning Jeudy instead of Crowder. Just don't trust his health.
MT or Carson playing would be huge.
Injuries are going to be a problem this year for sure. The lack of prep time, no preseason, all lead to higher likelihood of injuries. We foresaw this being an issue in my league and implemented two IR spots accordingly. But even that doesn't feel like it will be sufficient.
My drafted team has already lost two guys for the season (Barkley and Cohen) and has had 3 more guys (AJ Brown, Cam Akers, and Deebo Samuel) miss several games already. I've suffered to a 1-2 start, but I suspect that other teams are going to feel the sting at some point unfortunately.
My roster has 4 guys on IR. Devante Adams as Questionable (after missing Sunday). Juju SS - who's game will be canceleld due to Covid and my kicker is listed as doubtful.
With Big Ben and Corey Davis both out this week, I'm now starting Fitzmagick at QB and Jerry Jeudy at WR. If Hopkins ends up being out as well (looks possible) I'll be slotting in either Fournette or Hilton in his place. Not looking like I'm going to improve on my 1-2 start this week.
