WEEK 10 LOSS!
Week 10 may have decided my fate for the rest of the season. Several of my players put up some big numbers this week, but it was not enough to defeat my division rival for the number four spot in the playoffs. As of right now, it is still possible for my team to make the playoffs. However, it is not looking good. My opponent this past week will have to lose two of our three remaining regular season games for my team to have a chance at the playoffs. It is going to be a long three weeks.
Week 10 might have been my worst week so far. My two best players were on BYE week in week 10. It is crazy that the week I needed them the most, or at least one of them, they were both out of my lineup. I ended up losing this past week by 28 points. My opponent had an average scoring week, while I was well below average. I would have had a much better chance of winning this week had I had not had faith in one of my favorite running backs. Sony Michel, running back for the New England Patriots, started in week 10 after having missed the past 3 weeks due to injury. I was so excited for his return that I thought it was a no brainer for me to start him. He finished this week with only 31 rushing yards and three fantasy points. Meanwhile, Kerryon Johnson, running back for the Detroit Lions, sat on my bench and scored 24 points with two touchdowns. Johnson has had a pretty good season for being a rookie running back, that is still getting to know the offense. Week 10 was definitely his break out week, and I failed to start him. However, Kerryon Johnson was not the only player I should have started this week. I should have started any other defense than the New York Jets defense. The Jets got destroyed this week by the Buffalo Bills. Their defense actually got me negative seven points this week, which really hurt me. I have yet to play a defense this season that scored me negative points, until this week. Those are the two mistakes I made this week, minus not having my two best players available to play.
It has been a long fantasy season with plenty of ups and downs for my team. I am fairly confident that my team will win out this season. All of my best players are back and ready to light up the score board. My opponent this week is a playoff contender. Since my team is healthy, it should be an exciting match up. I am expecting a win! Good luck to everyone in week 11!
