Bad beats topic
Posting this in an effort to feel better about my own dynasty season. I currently sit 0-4 in two leagues, both of which I rank 1st in Points Against. In the league where I don't own my 2018 1st, I'm also 4th in Points For.
Anyone else attempting to stay sane in the midst of some unfairly bad beats?

Re: Bad beats topic
I'm down at least 4 of my starters on my contending team. I'm 2-2 somehow and don't know whether to sell off the guys like Chris Thompson and Buck Allen (still have my 1st) and give up, or go all in.

Re: Bad beats topic
In my three leagues, I was trying to contend in two and semi rebuild in one. After injuries and bad luck, turns out I'm semi rebuilding in the ones I was trying to compete in and undefeated in the one I was semi rebuilding in. What a crazy unpredictable game we play.

Doesn't seem like anything more than a typical year to me. You may just be hurting because your guys are going down this year.Raymond1974 wrote: βTue Oct 03, 2017 6:26 am I've been playing fantasy football for over 25 years and I don't recall having these many injuries! I

Re: Bad beats topic
I lost by 5.75 due to that 7 point play. I wouldnt have been in the position to lose if Julio doesnt get hurt and Dem doesnt suck so I have no one to blame but myself lol. Honestly, in 20+ years of fantasy football, I think that is the only time in any of my leagues that I lost on literally the last play. I remember losing some in the last series, but this week I lost 2...this one and the Fitz TD.Never Veto wrote: βTue Oct 03, 2017 7:07 am I lost last night by 1.02 pts because of the fumble recovery for a TD by Kansas City on the last play of the game

Re: Bad beats topic
Yeah Dem sucked it up for me as well. He's been a little bit of a disappointment so far this year. I wasn't looking for lights out, but I figured he could at least be consistentjoeday wrote: βTue Oct 03, 2017 7:13 amI lost by 5.75 due to that 7 point play.

Re: Bad beats topic
Typical season for me.
In two of my leagues, I'm the leading scorer after 4 weeks. In one league I'm 4-0, in the other 2-2.
In another league, two years removed from a title, I'm 0-4, middle-of-the-pack points-wise - primarily because of underperforming studs. Time to panic yet? Maybe.

Re: Bad beats topic
I hear ya. I play in 3 main leagues.
Keep 7 league-- 4 of my starters were out for the year or a good portion of the year by Week 2 (A-Rob, Olsen, Luck, DJ, C. Coleman). I'm 1-3 and basically f'ed for the year. Only 15 man rosters and I'm stashing these guys for next year.
Non-PPR-Off to an 0-4 start. Things just haven't worked out. Loss S. Ware (who's never getting his job back), M. Ingram is a non-factor, T. Eifert is hurt again, Hilton hasn't done much, the one good thing for this team (C. Carson) is now on IR. Traded away my future first in the off-season (After coming in 2nd last year) for Hilton....Sooooo a bad season got a lot worse with NO first round pick. J. Tucker goes from being the best kicker in the league to nearly the worst..Insult to injury....Would have had 1 win, but that week they took back the G. Tate goal line TD screwed me.
PPR-I'm 1-3, but still in the thick of things as the final two WC spots go to most points scored and I'm top 5 in that.
I had a lot of good fortune last year but this year has been just the complete opposite.

Two weeks ago I lost by 2 Pts in a game where KBenj and Ajayi both left the game due to injury
This week I put up the second most points in the league, lost to the guy who put up the most points he has EVER had in the last 5 years.
3rd ovr in points but 6th in standings.
