Oy. Same.

For me, it was Allen or Tyron Johnson. Knowing Allen would be on a snap count, I figured whichever one gets a TD would be the better start, so I picked Allen, thinking he'd be key in the red zone in his limited snaps.

Nope.
I think you had to play Keenan over him. Odds were he’d do better

I probably am going to lose on Keenan as well. My best alternative was Jeffrey Wilson. Saw Mostert practiced, so went Keenan.

Alas
And another. It's for an ESPN redraft team though where I had a first week lead, so hope it doesn't cost me, but isn't a good start. Now need to decide between Corey Davis and JK Dobbins for the flex spot. I should've played it safe and jsut rolled with both of them, but very last second decided I wanted to risk it anyway :/

Yea, I feel real dumb... I almost always bench guys in Keenan’s situation. Not sure why I felt confident in rolling with him yesterday

Might be my downfall too but still too early to call!

I feel like there's always some guys who disappoint in December - and I mean like most of their career.

I didn’t feel confident, but was more willing to gamble with him than either of my backup options (Hollywood Brown and Russell Gage). Now I just cross my fingers that the rest of my team comes through for me.

Despite all my whining... survived the Keenan Allen debacle!

Now I'm sure I'll ruin it by playing Gibson when he's a surprise active...

I traded Kamara in one league before the season started but at least I have him in the other championship I made. There’s still hope!

I started last week Cooper who had one catch. I lost by 4. On TNF I had Cooks (he has 11) in flex, then on Saturday had Dobbins (had 15points) swapped out for Cooper 10 minutes before kickoff :(

Icing on the cake started PIT defense instead of Ravens.

This week projected to have the most points by 10!

At least Mahomes finished decent. It's going against Kamara that is just total BS this week.

Dishonorable mention: desperation Watkins start was trash, so much for the Chefs scoring a 1000 vs the Falcons. WR injuries to Allen and Golladay look like they finally caught up with me Championship week, had so few WR2/3 options left.

I am in 23 leagues and Kamara was in the finals in 6 of them. 1 for me, 1 in a league I didn't make the finals, and 4 against me! No joke, I have a legit chance of going 3-1 against Kamara. Currently 1-1 but I am up 36 in one and my opponent has Josh Allen and I am down 6.35 but have Bass left (played Tua over Ryan which cost me the win tonight but still have a good chance). Ironically the league I had Kamara I am a little nervous about. I am up 29 but he has Diggs...luckily I have the Bills D/ST so that could be the X factor.

In my main league the thing that cost me the ship was drafting Bell over Thielen. Its a 14 team, 4 player keeper league. Pick 1.13 Bell "fell" to me and I honestly couldn't pass on an RB considering how often they get injured. I passed on Thielen knowing there were other WRs I liked that I could get at 2.2 (it is a snake draft). Woods fell to me there. Had I taken Thielen I think I could have won the championship. Passing on him didn't cost me a win all year until I had to play against him in the finals...cause the fantasy gods are cruel lol.
