As a guy who is 0-4 in two of my most coveted leagues. (still owning the Zone-Heads league for the record) I have a growing list of THINGS I GOT VERY WRONG THIS YEAR IN FANTASY FOOTBALL.
·I said that Lamar Jackson was the #2 QB going into the season. He is very much not.
oCurrently he is QB9. A much better real life QB this year than fantasy. In 4 weeks, he’s only churned out 1 top 5 finish. Kyler is that guy.
·Brandon Aiyuk. Deebo Samuel is what I thought Aiyuk would be. WR3 in fantasy this year. 26ppg in PPR. Monster. Never saw it coming.
·I said Austin Ekeler was overvalued going into the start of the season. I liked him, just not as a round 1 pick. He’s currently RB2 on the year. And just set a career high for rush yards in a game with 117.
·Nothing against Cooper Kupp, I tried to snag him across the board…but I thought this was going to be a blow up year for Robert Woods. He finished as WR11 last year – McVay loves to use him in the screen game. Especially after Akers went down, he was someone I was comfortable reaching on. He is currently WR46 and being outscored by his teammate Van Jefferson.
·Most recently- Cordarrelle Patterson. Dude blew up last week and I just couldn’t buy in. I’ve seen too many disappointing Patterson seasons. But the Falcons love the guy.
There ya go, my biggest misses. We all have them. This is my apology to you. I WILL BE BETTER!
