Fantasy 2023 BETA - Discussion

Ive got some fantastic rookie options that can score you 2 or 3 points a game (or Kenneth Gainwell) if youre interested

Surely some in a committee floating around on the waiver wire?

Lol Waiver wire for a RB that will score less than 5pts a game!

I also lost Archane this week who was exploding for a lower round rookie RB pick.

Back to starting Antonio Gibson….

Well 5 points game is better than most of my running backs at the moment.. beggars can't be choosers.

I worry more about the -6 pt game in a big scoring position if you can find one RB that actually plays. Gibson is a monty for a 5 touch game for 6 yards and 2 fumbles lost!

NFL is just not what it was 10 years ago regarding the RB position. Shame some fantasy leagues are slow in reacting to it.

Montgomery, Achane, Mostert, Swift, Trav ETtittittiennnnn, Josh Jacobs, Pollard, Kenny Walker, both the Robinsons (Bijan and Brian), Henry, Cook, Conner and even Kyren and Zac have all had great scoring weeks this season already. I'd actually argue that a much wider range of RBs are scoring better in fantasy across multiple different scoring types of leagues than we've seen since at least 2012 - RB is actually more vital than ever before. Note to anyone that drafted Miles Sanders, Dalvin Cook or Mattison, prior performance is no gaurantee of future results though. Good RB fantasy drafting is all about picking the new scorers, which is harder than it used to be whewre an Emmett or a Sanders or a Faulk could just be relied on year after year after year for 25 PPG per round. If your fabtasy team doesn't cycle through 4 RBs a season, and still scores well, you are doing very very wel.

I agree somewhat but they are like hitting darts on a board. There is no consistency week to week and if anyone can honestly say that guy is my starter week in week out you are kidding yourself. RB is a crapshoot lottery position now that needs to be downgraded to flex for WR and TE. Heck i will start a TE or 3rd string WR in the spot before having to be forced to start a crap shoot RB in a 3 team RB committee like half the league is now in currently.

3 points? I'll take it!

 

[Constantgin]

Those that need a rb i could part with josh jacobs for right offer.

 

[A11dAtP0w3R]

My defense are a bunch of assholes, scoring too many points

 

[Constantgin]

I might actually win this week

Looks as though Bucking Beads would've had me if Herbert didn't throw that last INT.

Haze win by 0.8!

 

[Bucking Beads]

Oh no I suck again

 

[J Shuttlesworth]

Any interest in WR's around?

Evans, Sutton maybe McLaurin.

Quickie again until I catch up. Back to something resembling good health now!

Haze seem to be on a bit of a roll now, scoring 210+ in four of the last five weeks, but still hasn't won two in a row this season. Chasers a little unlucky give his last three losses coming against big scores of 240+, can't complain too much having a sub-200 avg PF though.

Dolphins fighting hard, and can score on occasion. But realistically just a mid-table team that can upset on a good day. Usually reliable Gobsmackers collapsing at the mometn, not scorng above 200 since Week 2.

Arakaans Assassins 188.8 def. Bismarck FC 139.5
Offense
3. Lamar Jackson (ARA) 41.9
2. Avin Kamara (ARA) 29.3
1. TJ Hockenson (ARA) 19.6

Defense
3. Fred Warner (BFC) 19.0
2. Kenny Moore (ARA) 16.0
1. Zaire Franklin (ARA) 10.0

Thankfully Arakaans lowest score of the year came when he was up against the struggling FC. No doubt hes hoping it's just a blip, and llama continues upon his Week 7 ways. Bismarck set for his "up week", alternating over and under 200 every week this season so far.

Purple Vandals 245.2 def. ConstantGin 162.8
Offense
3. Jordan Addison (VAN) 35.3
2. Gardner Minshew (VAN) 33.6
1. Tyrod Taylor (GIN) 27.3

Defense
3. Myles Garrett (VAN) 33.0
2. Ja'Whaun Bentley (GIN) 11.5
0.5. Antoine Winfield Jr (GIN) 10.5
0.5. Darious Williams (GIN) 10.5

Vandals end a 4-game skid on the back of a phenomenal rookie performance, a freak performace from an overrated QB, and a freak defensive performace. Five straight losses to Gin after a good start has the team reeling, just not getting enough from both sides of the ball.

Pandas Broncos 213.3 def. TCols Stars 198.7
Offense
3. Josh Allen (TCS) 29.0
2. Jahmyr Gibbs (PAN) 27.6
1. Paca Nacua (PAN) 25.4

Defense
3. Julian Blackmon (PAN) 16.5
2. Jordyn Brooks (TCS) 15.5
1. Charvarius Ward (PAN) 13.5

Broncos have won threeof the last four, and are looking to take control of the division over the next few weeks. The usually formiddable stars have lost their way a little, and have allowed the competition to claw back into it. Next two weeks against said competition is massive in the grand scheme of this season.

Hedeby Berserkers 237.1 def. Beads Army 209.1
Offense
3. Travis Kelce (HED) 36.9
2. Donta Foreman (BEA) 33.0
1. AJ Brown (HED) 30.7

Defense
3. Cameron Bynum (BEA) 20.0
2. Terrel Bernard (BEA) 15.0
1. Bradley Chubb (BEA) 14.0

The form team of BETA, coming from 0-3 to now be 4-3 and equal 1st in the Mile High Jem division. Six straight scores of 200+ and rolling. Beads also fairly unlucky, averaging around 221 since Week 2 but only recording a .500 record in that time.

I kept Arakaan to his lowest score of the year? Scrappy street fighter back at it!

Panda is the quiet achiever of 2023, generating a 6-2 record so far. This weeks top of the table clash with Arakaan is his only remaining game against a better than .500 team. No pressure. Dolphins starting to lose pace for the division, but well in range for a wildcard if good enough.

Easily, Fuey's favourite game to win outside the Championship game. Pegs one back in the rivalry, as well as as important win in the division, current 2-0 against Tcol in '23 could be vital come playoff time. Stars now a game behind both division rivals, and on a three-game skid.

Hedeby Berserkers 229.9 def. ConstantGin 187.7

2. Maxx Crosby (HED) 16.5
1. Jordan Whitehead (HED) 15.0

Berserkers continue their rise from the dead, 5th straight win averaging 225 over that span. Big matchups vs. the Stars and Haze over the next two weeks. Gins bright start unfortunately long forgotten now (except by me of course), sixth straight L coming on the back of 220+ ppg against. Tough ask.

Purple Vandals 200.2 def. Galactic Gobsmackers 199.9

Galactic rightly should've thought he had this won with St.Brown and D.Adams to come against Vandal CB Jerry Jacobs... welcome to the IH8JIMMYG club, Galactic!! Vandals are thereabouts, but need to string a couple more together to find the heights of 2022.

Arakaans Assassins 260.6 def. Chevys Chasers 179.4

Defense
3. Quincy Williams (ARA) 23.0
2. Zaire Frankine (ARA) 19.0
1. Marshon Lattimore (CHC) 15.0

Assassins star continues to shine with a massive 81pt victory. Still yet to face the Jem division, but may have the division sewn up by the time that rolls around. Chasers struggling, but not out of the running either.

Bismarck FC 251.7 def. Beads Army 198.7
Offense
3. Dak Prescott (BFC) 39.4
2. Justin Herbert (BEA) 33.0
1. Rashid Shaheed (BFC) 31.9

Defense
3. Frankie Luvu (BFC) 23.0
2. TJ Edwards (BEA) 22.0
1. Alex Anzalone (BEA) 15.0

The FCs highest score for the year, had two of the top offensive players for the week which is helpful, and scored 70+ pts above projected. Beads Army still in the hunt, but his score has dropped on average 8pts each week for the past 5 weeks. Would want to arrest that slide very soon!
