NGT: Fantasy Football Midyear. How are you doing?

[bamagiantfan]

So how is everyone doing in Fantasy Football this season?

I'm doing well in two leagues.
My daughter and I are once again leading another league in points against. 
And in the BBH Pickem league I am a blithering idiot.

You?

[TDToomer]

6-2 and 5-3. Top 3 in points in both leagues. I've had a few shrewd waiver pick ups like Kareem Hunt, Chuba Hubbard, Darnell Mooney and Cade Otten. The league that I am 6-2 in I have been able to overcome an insane amount of WR injuries to Nakua, AJ Brown, Nico Collins and Mike Evens.

Horrible.  No friggin horrible.

Either a key player gets injured or the QB throwing to my WR gets injured.

Also, the players I dont start put up huge points.

And I wont forget dropping Brock Bowers because of this board.  😂

Eesh. I thought you had two TEs and were going to drop Likely? I don't blame you for keeping Likely after that Week 1 performance. Unfortunately he disappeared like a rabbit in a cheap hat after that.

I think many of us are feeling your WR pain. Puca, Devonte Smith, Deebo, Kupp, Godwin, Aiyuk, Nico, A.J. Brown, Evans, Shaheed, Higgins, Nabors, Rice, and on and on. Now you can add Diggs to that list. It hasn't helped that Kirk, Ridley, and Juedy were getting paid millions to lay a turd every week.  Its been churn or burn with WRs on fantasy rosters this year for most. A WanDale this week. A Downs the next. Maybe Doubs after that. Muddling through.

Hold onto Downs now that he has Flacco throwing to him the rest of the season.

Started the season with Aiyuk, Nico and Nabers as my wide receivers. And Jameson Williams was one of my main backups as well. Been a brutal year in that department across the board. Have been throwing darts with Legette, Doubs and Jakobi Meyers at various points this year. Issue has also been mitigated slightly by the fact that I got Brock Bowers who has been good for me over the past handful of weeks once I gave up on Dalton Kincaid.

This feels like my year to be snakebitten.

I'm .500 in my league (4-4) in head to head play, but we use a power rankings system where only 1/3 of your ranking is your head to head record. The rest has to do with how you're doing against the league, and I'm currently 9th out of 12th. I hate to moan about injuries because everyone deals with them, but this season has been pretty insane for me on that front. I have had multiple weeks where I not only lose a key player but lose him in the first or second quarter of the game, which is the worst.

The one good thing is my team is reasonably healthy now (Jordan Love is a question mark) and I've had a lot of my byes already. Also, while 9th in the power rankings in a 12 teams league is obviously not good, the gap to the top 5 isn't that great. A couple really good weeks would get me back into the hunt.

I'm not holding my breath though. My luck has been poor this year. I also made a couple of rough picks. Kincaid in the 4th round was a bad one. My best pick relative to draft position by far has been Ladd McConkey. I got him in the 13th round or something like that.

I am firmly in the mix in both leagues.

I just need Nabors in both, so hoping he starts going off again.
