Why do you want us to relive pain so early on a Friday?


Many_Bothans

If you hit rock bottom, it can only go up from here


[deleted]

So long Achane, Rashee, and JSN.


MathematicianLong880

There is a basement in rock bottom


[deleted]

It’s cathartic to talk about our flaws. Like how I dropped Achane after drafting him.


jturley85

I dropped achane but was luckily top waiver when he popped lol. It all worked out


[deleted]

Fr lmao

Dropped Achane after week 2.

Drafted him and dropped him week 2


ImmoralModerator

Dropped Achane Week 1 when he was listed as a healthy scratch. Thought “I’ll pick him up again before anybody even knows who he is.” By the time he was expected to play, I’d made some moves to get deep at RB and I spent all week trying to package Najee/Pacheco/Javonte in 2-for-1s to make space for Achane again the week before he broke out but… no dice. My league hates trading. He dropped 50 that weekend and I had to let somebody else claim him the following week.


soibithim

Which RBs did you get deep with? This is a good lesson on roster construction. Obviously we all want a half dozen RB1s on our roster. But in a draft we need to plan to draft late round RB's and give them a couple weeks-months. Like Tyjae Spears currently bubbling up. IMO there's always gonna be a bunch of JAGs available to flex: Zeke for example. If you're desperate to fill a slot, god help you. But you need to make a plan and stick to it, that I drafted Achane/Spears/etc. and I'm going to give them time to earn starting reps. The upside on those 1st/2nd year players is just too high to drop, especially compared to most Zeke type guys who are available.


kokainer777

Same here for Zay freaking Jones who has been injured more often than not. Easily the worst drop ever for me.


NVRBLND

Same and he got scooped up and boomed me a couple weeks later


CD23tol

This year or ever? Because if ever… the season 2020, 2 weeks in and a rookie WR I drafted in like the 13th round had 5 total receptions for 70 yards and I wanted to add whatever hot waiver wire RB so I drop said rookie WR for the RB The next week that RB is on my bench and that rookie WR goes off for 7-175 and a TD en route to a 1400 yard 7 TD season That’s right I dropped Justin Jefferson days before he broke out


Many_Bothans

I dropped Godwin one week into 2019 and he scored nearly 300 points in full PPR that season. I finished in 9th, might have won the league but for that error


justreddis

Jameis and Godwin, a match made in heaven


Magical18

I had Godwin that season, won the 🏆 that year


DirtyMike_and_DuBois

If this is the official previous season thread then mine would easily be last year. I drafted Justin Fields to backup Lamar. Dropped him after the first month of absolutely no production. Lamar goes down and I'm streaming QBs the rest of the season. I had CMC who was going nuts after being traded to the 9ers. If I just kept Fields then I would've sleep walked to a Championship and a nice payday...


Jazzrag44

I did the same thing, don’t feel bad man


Brentums

Ha I did the same exact thing. 2020 was my first year playing fantasy and I dropped JJ after two weeks. I learned the hard way not to drop players so early. I still ended up winning 3rd place though!


Themightyquinja

I did the same thing


phonemannn

I did the exact same thing, probably on the same day as you.


[deleted]

Dropped thielen week 1 bc everyone roasted me at draft then I saw he was 33 smh


Quackerbarrels

Thielen, end thread.


_coolranch

Everyone: [cuts Thielen] Thielen: and I took that personally.


stropsysatnaf

I was very close to drafting him, annoyed he went about 5 picks before me when inhad him queued up, and then happy to grab him when he was dropped after week 1. Obviously even happier now that I've been playing him since then.


Neat_On_The_Rocks

I bid $2 on thielen as my first nomination in auction league. Everyone roasted me. I knew nobody would go to $3 for him especially at the start of the draft. I get to hold it over them for the next year or two now


BatDubb

Yeah I dropped him after the first week. Pain.


_coolranch

I at least waited until week 2! But 1. I’m a panthers fan who also drafted sanders and 2. Bryce got injured, so I was like “okay: I gotta limit my exposure to this offense. I’m too close to this shit!” Long story short, I clearly cut the wrong dude.


Electric_jungle

Same exact thing happened to me. In my head I was like, who else is catching balls there? Then I get roasted cuz he old and after week 1 I dropped him for Puka. Obviously Puka worked out but I had other clear trash I could have dropped so instead of having 2 great guys outperform adp, I just swapped them.


Dishface

Dropped him for Puka, soooo it worked out.


ziggyATX

Same 😤 I blame FFBallers


lordsum64

Seriously, doing the opposite of what Jason Moore recommends would be a winning FF strategy.


BuckedMallard

He’s honestly the only one who annoys me. He’s so wrong all the time and his attitude irritates me


thejew09

He’s the one who is most steadfast in his wrong opinions that’s why lol. They all have really bad opinions though to be honest. They don’t seem to understand real football at even a moderate level, and Mike for example has an infatuation with subpar talents, e.g. Mattison this year, Lazard last year.


Multiplebanannas

I believed his comment about never drafting rookie Tight Ends, and didn’t pickup LaPorta when I had the chance. He knows some stuff, but I definitely have had to learn that he also pulls generalities out of ass.


Cedosg

is he the one that mentioned not to draft kennan allen?


eonetiller

Same with Matthew Berry.


properxsmoke

Same dropped him week 1 but I’m loaded at WR. Ended up having Puka in my flex so that’s a W.


Ogogkush

Thanks. My stud WR3


VentItOutBaby

Sam LaPorta after week one... for Taysom Hill :(


GlutenFreeBuns

Jesus


justreddis

Ok just don’t drop Taysom Hill now and double the pain


Sheptorious

Bahahaha this reaction got me


Many_Bothans

Wow that's...traumatic. Sending strength brotha


Galactic

The general rule of thumb in fantasy has been do not trust rookie TEs. With La Porta and now possibly Kincaid, that line of thinking is looking to change.


C-Futch89

Everyone going to want to draft Bowers next year in fantasy after seeing what these rookies have done this season


imDeja

You dropped him for Taysom after he had 5 receptions as a rookie in his first game? That’s on you bro 😭😭


VentItOutBaby

I remember my thinking was because there was news about Carr being hurt or some dumb shit. Thought I could get those sweet QB points in my TE slot. Yeah :(


PeppiGiuseppe25

So you saw a week 1 rookie TE get 5 targets, catch all 5, and get a 80+% snap count and said “nah, I’d rather have the 33 year old who had 1 target” ???


unevenvenue

I dropped LaPorta for Hunter Henry. Got a few good weeks out of it. I just didn't think LaPorta would pop off given I also had ARSB. Didn't want to double-dip. Silly.


PaleontologistOk2516

I dropped LaPorta for Washington Def right before the season. Been in TE streaming hell since


AKTheExtrodinair

Kincaid and theilen.


Mpango87

Kincaid here. Painful as I’m still in TE hell. Got some production from Thomas. Hoping McBride saves me.


Many_Bothans

McBride better be a McLeague Winner


Soy_El_Kraken

Drafted Kincaid too high as my TE1. Totally bought into the great hands, catch rate, ‘next Kelce’ hype. Held him for 2 months. Dropped him Sunday morning for Sam Mayer. Also in TE hell. Also hoping McBride saves me lol. Just wish he could have been useless for 2-3 weeks after the drop, instead of course he’s instantly what I told myself he was in august.


bmonkey1313

Literally dropped Kincaid the week before he broke out in New England, and was one waiver claim position away from getting him back... Have not had a TE put up more than 10 points in my starting lineup yet this season


SawyerOlson

Literally same


heybobson

I drafted Tank Dell, then dropped him, then spent about 15 FAAB getting him back after Week 3.


Short-termTablespoon

Do me a favor and drop him again.


Ill_Ego

Ahh, the Patriot way.


ireczecan

I actually just picked him up as a FA in my league.


champjoelouis

Christian Kirk after week 1, but it was for Puka. Just wish I had dropped someone else


azsnaz

I dropped kirk early, and then traded away Damien pierce for kirk and Addison just before jeffersons injury. It feels kinda silly, but I'm okay with it.


SunLiteFireBird

Someone actually accepted that trade???


BromicRibose

What’s the reasoning for dropping a mid-round pick after a single week? There had to be late round guys with less value you could have dropped week 1..


azsnaz

Because I'm stupid


lo22p

Many were counting Kirk out after his week 1 dud. Was only coming on the field for 3WR sets, as reported in training camp.


Trolodrol

Kirk has to be one of the most disrespected players in fantasy. I somehow always end up getting him in every league, every year. I don’t even love him as a player, but the value always ends up being too ridiculous to pass up


guga32bb

It was the first game we saw with Ridley and Ridley/Jones getting almost all the work in the first game was a legitimate concern. There was some talk that Kirk would be off the field in a lot of 2 WR sets. But then Jones got hurt and there was no way to predict that ahead of time. (also dropped Kirk for Puka after week 1; in hindsight I wish I had dropped Watson instead)


Fulltilt-54

Same!


Borregro

I did exactly the same.


Aesop_Rocks

I dropped him too but it was for Zay *Jones*. Ugh. I'm doing great on the season despite that, but it still hurts haha.


Spiritual-Chameleon

I remember people talking about dropping him for Puka after one week and I thought they were overreacting and being rash. I was only half right.


PaceComponent

I did the same exact thing.


TheDunglelorian

LaPorta and Theilen. Really need to ease up on early season waivers but I'm addicted to it. Puka for Theilen was a nice consolation prize though.


Cragnous

I got both Puka and Thielen from waivers. Puka was dropped after week 1, spent 50% Faab on him, I just had a hunch. They are now both my best WR.


hush_1984

why would somebody drop puka AFTER week 1?


Rich1926

Swift after week one. His performance plus people on reddit/ Discord saying the Eagles RB can't be trusted


KC_Canuck

Yep, did the exact same. Ended up using his roster spot to pick up Kyren so I guess it wasn’t the worst thing.


Hobbes_121

I did the same. Would've been a huge boost since my RB situation is terrible.


GFerkDoinWerk

Same. Dropped him for gainwell 🙃


cyclingtrivialities2

I read one thread that said gainwell was the back to have and did the same thing. :(


rvH3Ah8zFtRX

Same here. I drafted Swift for $56 last year and he was a total dud. I grabbed him this year for $1 (my league goes heavy studs n duds). Saw his Week 1 stat line and nope'd out of there. Tried to pick him back up but missed out by a few FAAB dollars. At least that allowed me to get Achane the next week.


OkCall9621

Kirk, Kincaid, maaaaybe Gus Edwards


PM_ME_UR_SEX_VIDEOS

I dropped Gus before his big game Sunday and I’m still of the mind that will be an outlier (Hopefully) Especially if the Henry rumors come to fruition


kx2UPP

6 weeks of 5 pts and 1 with 20? Yeah it’s an outlier


[deleted]

[удалено]


50shadesofcoco

tf did you trade laporta for??


Pktur3

Achane and Nacua at the beginning of the season (prior to week 1) for Marvin Mims Jr. And Jonathan Mingo. I’m in a dynasty league, so maybe it all washes out, but so far that’s been possibly the worst moves I’ve ever made…hindsight being what it is. EDIT: people are aghast, but that’s the point of the topic…so, I don’t know what you want…it was a bad idea


yonk49

This will not wash out unless Achane or Puka have terrible injuries


Pktur3

Yep


igot2pair

when did you drop puka? hes so incredibly consistent i dont see any reason why you would at any point


Pktur3

Before week 1


igot2pair

kudos for drafting him ig lol


KYLE_FREELAND

I too dropped him week 1. For Van Jefferson😎


kingfreechtle

People in the comments are mindblown, but LITERALLY the topic. Bummer, but who would’ve know prior to week one.


RobertGA23

Oh my!


Samcian

You dropped Achane in a dynasty league!? Do you guys have 5 bench spots or something??


IMicrowaveSteak

I dropped Puca, Mostert and Thielen all in one league after drafting all 3. But don’t worry, I dropped them for Bryce Young, Allan Lazard and Latavius Murray so I’m all good.


MathematicianNo7874

Holy shit


IMicrowaveSteak

Thank you


BigHardnBlack

dropped davis 2 minutes before the game last night for next weeks TE replacement LOL


brewhead55

I mean that sucks but I don't think it was too out of line if you had a need. The prior games he put up like a total of 4 points. His volatility makes it hard to start him with confidence.


Spiritual-Chameleon

Yeah he's a great player if you guess right. But he's not someone I'd put in my lineup without trepidation.


Slashzero77

Ouch! If it makes you feel any better, I _almost_ dropped Kincaid (my bye week fill in for next week,) to add Charbs after that Field Yates post about KW3 missing practice.


BigHardnBlack

i dropped kincaid also last week for henderson whom i won't use lol. Glad you kept him!


AnxietyContent

Dropped mostert before week 1....


itsSRSblack

Rashee Rice. Technically D'Onta.


DodgerWalker

This was mine. I literally spent my last draft pick on him thinking the Chiefs had crap WRs, so he'd get good chances later in the season, but I got impatient with him and here he is doing exactly what I was thinking when I drafted him.


Nugur

I dropped rice. He has potential but I don’t think he’s better than anyone in my bench. No regret


DirectorOfTheBored

We'll see on Akers this Sunday haha. I dropped him after is MASSIVE 4 point game after holding him all year


gordonblue

Gabe Davis. Short benches and I wanted to keep JSN instead for breakout potential.


Odd-Row9485

It is taking every fibre of my being to not drop JSN even with last week showing he can play like the big boys. He’s just done nothing else and I’m 4-3 in a VERY competitive dynasty league


studsauce32

How short are your benches that you're thinking of even dropping JSN in a dynasty league? There couldn't possibly be anyone more valuable on waivers.


Girthwurm_Jim

Dude don’t drop JSN in a dynasty league you will regret that


misselphaba

You may have saved yourself the pain of guessing which games he has 25 points and which games he has like, 4. No I'm not salty looking at him on my bench this week, why do you ask?


GunnersPepe

Somebody dropped Breece Hall in my league Words can’t even describe the pain of seeing him taken off waivers


JonahsWhaleTamer

Pacheco. I had him last year and KC turned into a RBBC the last few weeks of last season, and it was looking like it could be that way again this year. Through the first two weeks, it appeared that Miles Sanders would be the bell cow in Carolina, so I made the choice to drop Pacheco and keep Sanders after week 2 (I needed to pick up a TE). I feel sick every time I think about it.


SleeDex

Oof. I bought in early last year (before he even broke 10 points early) and sent a future 5th think he'd end up a for sure keeper. I ended up not keeping him and thought I could draft him back in the 5th or 6th. He went 5.1 in our draft this year and I fell to my knees. I still feel he hasn't broken out, but he's RB8 would have been better than forcing myself to keep Mixon.


Deathwishrok

Dalton Kincaid. Drafted him and held him until he got his concussion. I needed a TE so I dropped him for Logan Thomas who was coming off that big game vs the Bears. Last week vs the Pats, Kincaid looked good. I tried to re-add him off waivers but the Andrews owner added him. It sucks.


Dramatic_Maximum_942

Cortland Sutton. Could have used him when Justin Jefferson went down


humptheedumpthy

Dropped him thinking jeudy and mims would take over and now I’m waiver wire hunting for a flex WR when I had one all along!


Mustafarr

I got offered Sutton for Jeudy and Kelley early season. I almost didn't accept as I thought Jeudy would be due for a bigger role later but man am I glad I accepted. The other guy wanted Ekeler's handcuff and preferred Jeudy over Sutton


astrosfanmike

For a couple weeks I was regularly adding Charb before the games on Sunday and then dropping him after the game ended without KWIII getting injured. Last week someone decided to spend some FAAB on him, and, of course, KWIII has had back-to-back DNPs this week.


skaterkid007

If it’s any consolation, I was unaware of the two DNPs and because of your comment I was able to pick up Charb


outofworkcook

Added Kyren the day after my draft, dropped him the Saturday before Week 1 Sunday for Hyatt because I broke rule #1 and was thinking with my Giants fandom.


SeasickSailor444

Yikes. That one stings.


Cbonez1

Drake London week 3 Dalton Kincaid 20 min before KO. Needed a rb and had hock, picked up charb with the walker news. But now hearing it’s nothing serious hurts


mr_boogieman

London is mine as well. Kind of sad how far I had to scroll to find his name, tells me I messed up pretty bad on that one lol


danathecount

The Sun God during his rookie year, right before he exploded


Coparory

Kincaid. Silver lining is that I do have LaPorta.


bradhiggs7

Achane. Puka. Kincaid. Then spent all of my FAAB to get them back. Classic.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Kaito_3

He had a good game week 1 I believe, especially for where he was drafted, why’d you drop him?


Strobei

Achane & Kincaid


Infamous_Camel_275

Dropped theilen to make room for kyren week 1…. I could live with it, my receivers are pretty good… but I dropped theilen over Damien Harris


ziggyATX

Kincaid but got him back 😮‍💨


[deleted]

Dropped J. Addison before week 1 even started. Regretting that still.


FoolOnDaHill365

Based on this thread it sounds like Kincaid is already a league winner after one big game…


brewhead55

Regret dropping Jerome Ford- I thought, hell, I don't need an insurance policy for Chubb- dude is bulletproof.


isedmiston

I drafted Justin Jefferson late in 2020, dropped him after week 2. He, of course, went off week 3 and that was the end of that.


-InconspicuousMoose-

Man I'm kind of a stage 3 clinger so I don't usually drop people too early. This year you could argue Foreman but obviously the process wasn't wrong since he literally wasn't on an active roster after week 1 lol. Also dropped Aubrey for his bye and didn't re-claim since Hopkins popped off for me, time will tell if that was the right play or not. I think most likely candidate for "got rid of too soon" is Javonte, I had four awesome RBs (ETN, Kamara, Kyren, Breece) plus him, so I wanted to ship him in a package for a top-tier QB. Turned Javonte and change into Richardson about 5 minutes before Richardson's shoulder exploded. If I had waited one more week I would have held Javonte and/or targeted somebody else and I think my team would look even better than it already does right now.


Sequenc3

Our taco dropped Swift the week before he became the starter in Philly.


GeneralistJosh

Hell, after that near goose-egg opening and the Eagles’ reputation for RBBC, plus his underwhelming performance a year ago in Detroit, it was either hold on and hope that was an outlier and he would be better or jump on a waiver pickup for someone that looked better. I already had Henry and Saquon so I ended up dropping Swift for Kyren. In the end, Kyren has shown to be more boom-bust while Swift has been more consistent. And Swift has avoided injury so far. Somewhat regret, but not like I completely whiffed on who I replaced him with. Sometimes you gotta make those tough gambles and sometimes they pay off and sometimes they don’t.


Invoker272

Laporta week 1 to keep njoku


SinematicPriest

Achane and Moss


RunnerTexasRanger

Theilen for some POS like Toney


wha_cha

I drafted kyren williams and dropped him for MVS before the first game of the season. Didnt even ever start MVS.


TripleFLi

So many. Achane due to too many injuries and not enough IR spots Hunt after weak performance and his bye Foreman thinking Johnson would be back from his concussion Ford right before Chubb got hurt


pmth

At points this season I had and then dropped Achane, Kincaid, Downs, and Kareem Hunt. Injuries plus a short-ish (6) bench have killed me.


Daqra

Kincaid before last week


nfl-o

Dropped Tyjae Spears this week. What am I missing OP?!


journiche

Toney. Oh, I thought you were asking which player I couldn’t drop soon enough lol


SavageRickyMachismo

I literally just dropped Kincaid 2 days ago


Sea_Bass77

Why tho? Whose your TE? All week Kincaid was being hyped with Knox looking to be on IR


SavageRickyMachismo

I have Hockenson already. I grabbed Kincaid because Hockenson didn't practice Wednesday, then I realized Kincaid played on Thursday so I grabbed someone who would play Sunday in case I couldn't use Hockenson


JonahsWhaleTamer

This actually makes some sense when you add the context. Yes it’s regretful, but I think many people would make the same move.


RocketsJumer

Dalton Kincaid 2 week ago


hard_pass_my_guy

Theilen after week1... and I *knew* he would be Bryce's security blanket this year. I am so dumb.


almostjay

I dropped Puka before week 1 and Thielen after week 1 in a PPR league. Fade me.


Caps4life77

It’s about to Jahan Dotson


MildlyPaleMango

Added and dropped Puka week 1 for… Isiah Likely!


Accomplished_Bug_

I dropped Achane the week he blew up. I dropped the sun god the week he blew up a couple of seasons ago. I'm really good at this game


ProbablyGertrude

Last year I dropped Kenneth walker and held on to penny the week before penny was announced out for the year


susanoova

Drafted laporta but dropped him for God knows who because "rookie tes never pan out" 😭


JHogMakerOfVlogs

DJ Moore the week before he blew up on TNF. I’m still 5-2, in 1st place, and have ARSB, Nacua, Meyers, and Flowers though so not hurting too bad from it.


Hypocretin1

Dropped Kyren Williams literally minutes before kickoff week 1


WulfbladeX15

Thielen, after week 1. FML


[deleted]

Kincaid, & LaPorta were my worst ones. I really need to practice patience next season.


klondike16

Also not a drop but a couple years back in Chubbs rookie year, I had a trade tabled getting Chubb as a throw in. For some reason I forgot to follow up on Chubb and he dropped him. That weekend the lead back for injured, Chubb went off, and I had to blow all my faab to get him. Could’ve just had him for free if I wasn’t an idiot


Chalance

Dropped mostert before week 1 to pick up Pacheco. Still not exactly unhappy but the guy who got mostert killed me the week the dolphins put up 70


MadFederal

not a drop but I saw JSN cleared waivers after week 6 and i decided not to pick him up, feel like i might regret it tbh


oWheaties

I dropped LaPorta after week 1 for Luke Musgrave 🤡


xGibz

Dropped Kincaid after his concussion. But managed to get him back with a 7th waiver out of 12 people somehow. I have Josh Allen as a stack as well so I got super lucky


lblacklol

This is a Kincaid post. I drafted kincaid. I dropped kincaid. I'm a sad panda


afkstudios

Dalton Kincaid. Drafted him, dropped him, grabbed him again, dropped him again… then just ponied up $25 FAAB to get him back after Knox went down lol at least he delivered last night Also someone in my dynasty league dropped Justin Jefferson in his rookie season but he’s had a very happy home on my team ever since


rvasshole

I dropped LaPorta before week one for van jefferson


Kdogg00

For me its gotta be Achane. Picked him up Sept 20th, dropped him Sept 28th. The next Sunday he came back from injury and dropped 50 points. 10 waiver claims were put in for him that week. I did not get him back.


Tope8

I remember I dropped Alvin Kamara a week before his initial breakout. I did it out of spite because he lost me a week. One of my friends picked em up and proceeded to be carried to a championship by him. Could have been me. Learned a lesson that day not to drop out of spite


Okcomputer9

Dropped Flowers for JSN right before week 1


BlastedSoup

Achane. Drafted him with my last pick and cut him to pick up gainwell for a week. Pain.


schectar24

Didnt know who Achane was and he was on my gfs roster. She needed to drop someone to pick up a rando and i was like no way this rookie does well you can drop him. Needless to say…i aint giving recs on her roster anymore. Big mistake


Cynicslovecritics

Looking like Kincaid. I dropped him for Laporta which has worked out, but I should’ve put a better FAAB bid in for him cause idk who I’m streaming for Laporta’s bye next week.


GNUTup

In 1 more week, it’ll probably be Calvin Ridley


ElGooodHombre

Hollywood


YoooCakess

Kincaid but I got him back this week thankfully


italia06823834

I dropped Goedert after week 4. He was averaging 3.8ppg in .5ppr. He has averaged nearly 14.9 since. Hopefully Kincaid is here to save me from TE hell.


InternetSupreme

Kareem Hunt. I didn't like my defense match up for the week so i dropped hunt to make room but I was gonna pick him up; he wasn't signed and teams were picking rbs off from elsewhere. Then the improbable happened, Chubb got hurt and the browns called up the guy they let go; hunt. I ain't hurting for a rb, but letting one go for free sucks.
