I certainly can’t complain this week.
SFLEX dynasty: my matchup vs my opponent from last year’s final is decided already. My guys brought their A game, and I’m leading by 10 points, while still having Herbert and Ekeler starting for me tonight. I will win this one, likely with the best score of the league, and some 20 points above projection. I’m 5-1 here, and my team looks in good shape to try and defend its title.
1QB dynasty: this duel was the complete opposite, as the only 1-4 teams were facing each other. The good news: I got the 3rd highest score in the league. The bad news: he got the second highest.
This matchup is decided, I lost by 2 points. That’s fine, though. With my gap at RB being pretty much unfixable for this season, I need 1 more rookie draft to become a contender. And the earlier my 1st in that draft, the better. Seeing that my team could beat any other, while still climbing in draft ranks by going 1-5, makes me quite happy.
South Beach keeper league: with BYEs hitting me hard in this one, I was a 15 point underdog. Now I’m leading by 25, and he only has Courtland Sutton going tonight. Looks like this could be an unexpected W. Which would be a nice compensation for the 2 unexpected L’s in weeks 1 and 2. I’d be 4-2 here if things work out.
US-EU redraft lague: this was projected to be a close matchup, and it was. Thankfully, both teams stayed very close to their projections, so I won this one by 5.5 points. None of us has players starting tonight, so this one is closed out. I’m 3-3 here now.
And finally, my SFLEX tournament. I said I would exclude this one from further reports, as this tournament is a write-off. But a surprising underdog W against a 3-2 team should not go unmentioned. With my QB room being in shambles, I don’t expect to see many more Ws here, though, if any at all.
Still, overall, a good week. I’ll probably be 4-1 for the week, and even that L feels like a W.
