Dave in Avon Lake now Posted November 8, 2018 Share Posted November 8, 2018 I am in a 2QB league and unfortunately missed the draft. My original picks through autodraft were Darnold and Tyrod Taylor. As you can probably guess things went south when Tyrod was benched and people tend to stash QBs in the draft. To protect myself only Bills players were available for Week 1, so I picked up Peterman and Allen not knowing who would start. I used Taylor and Darnold until Tyrod was benched and had to switch to Allen. As you know all to well, Peterman was the only QB available until Derek Anderson showed up in week 7? I was forced to start Peterman in week 9 and actually got 12 points (probably because of the rushing TD) This week I'm still waiting for who will start, but I'm guessing it will be Peterman. Darnold has been lousy the last several weeks so on a whim I found McCown was available so I'm currently McCown/Peterman. It gets worse next week as everyone has a bye. What would you do?

LSHMEAB Posted November 8, 2018 Share Posted November 8, 2018 If your QB's are Darnold, Peterman, Anderson, and Tyrod, my advice would be to quit fantasy football. Join a 12 step program if need be. 2 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuffaloBillies Posted November 8, 2018 Share Posted November 8, 2018 I got very bored trying to read your paragraph... Sounds like you're in the worst fantasy league ever. Unless you're in a 32 team fantasy league, have no idea why you're even talking about these QBs. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would try again next season unless you paid into it... missing the draft hurts you the more teams and positions there are. It sounds like you are in a 14 or 16 team league, so that's my advice. It's just too deep of a hole to come out of as Darnold is out several weeks and our QB carousel is terrible. 4 hours ago, matter2003 said: Why would have drafted either of those 2?? Did you set up autodraft or did it just pick based on the default list? So, there would be such a thing as a waiver wire by which you can claim players, or a free agent list by which you can claim players. EVEN IF one autodrafts, you can still help yourself to great options that are out there. Not doing your due diligence in either of those areas is unacceptable... you had the option to pick up Fitzpatrick, Beathard, Mullens, Osweiler... I would be on it daily to work out acquisitions. I got Conner and Boyd because of that and I'm now 7-1. Edited November 9, 2018 by EasternOHBillsFan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was also affected by these teams. I'm in a 2-Defense league and have Denver on a bye so I needed another one. When I looked at who was available, the Bills and Niners caught my eye, with the Niners hosting the Giants on MNF. I thought about Darnold with all the INTs/turnovers so I went with the Bills. Then comes the news that Darnold wasn't likely to play and the Niners were now taken. In another league I have the Baltimore Def, also on a bye, so I picked up the Jets.
