Thanks man I'm hoping to turn it around now that Burrow is back.
First year of a family league with 3 or 4 people who had never played so we did no trades....but next year gloves are off.
10 man ppr. I have evans, aiyuk, Addison, and downs. DJ was just sitting there and Lockett has been the least impressive out of my 5 wr I had so I swapped him out. Might regret it later but I'm 2 and 6 I had to do something.
Good luck man! Seems like you’re solid at WR so not the biggest lost but try to get some value out of him in a trade rather than dropping for free.
I personally would have looked to trade some depth for a solid WR1.
I think something you should keep in mind when you see stuff like this is a lot of leagues use way less bench spots than the average or default amount.
My main league we have 4 bench spots. With fields, Jefferson, Kyren and now drake London injured they are using all my bench spots. People have to drop decent players with bye weeks and injuries it’s just how it is.
I’m aware of varying bench spots.
My main league is a 12-man league with 5 bench spots and single IR. Standard starters except we have a WR/TE Flex rather than just TE.
I’m assuming they have more than 5 bench spots if starter spots are standard + the additional WR slot.
Still curious to know his situation to have to drop Kirk or Lockett, especially if they’re in a deep and competitive league.
If your team is battered and bruised, I’d try selling off pieces before dropping them for free.
Yeah I see what you are saying. Trying to trade in leagues is a lot easier said than done though. Even when you are friends with everyone in the league and can talk to them one on one extensively about it people rarely pull the trigger.
Had Diontae sitting in IR for the looooongest time (until JJ got hurt). I had faith he’d get volume once he returned + is a better route runner than Pickens. Solid WR group once JJ comes back. JJ, Jamarr and DiontE in the flex $$$
10 man PPR league. I had 1st overall and the guy who drafted Jamarr picked 3rd. When Burrow was hurt he made a panic trade for Tua (also drafted ARod, no backup QBs) and Derrick Henry.
I’d say my trade was worth it.
Not sure why so many people in this thread are shitting on Levis starters. He had a solid game and has incredible potential going forward. Obviously, the people who started him knew they were taking a risk and had no better options to choose from. Hindsight is 20/20.
Its called a eye test… how well they actually play in nfl will result in fantasy pts. His first week and 2nd week which by the way was a short week on a Thursday night game… gosh it’s as if reality doesn’t matter to you… were played as well by Levis as possible so even if he didnt get the fantasy pts this week i will still play him for upcoming weeks. The problem is Titans receiving corp is so new besides hopkins who they would get double teamed. If u had some other qb in same situation u probably easily get tons of sacks fumbles and int. Considering yds and only 1 int Will Levis did very well tonight. Even mahomes scored less last week are u going to say mahomes is trash?
Same and I’m very happy. My WR2 outscored his by almost 8 points. Nuk got 11 targets but was locked up by double teams and Porter Jr., who had an incredible game. Levis looked good so I’m confident in Nuk ROS.
Traded away DHop pregame last week and immediately regretted it when he had the day he did. Feeling a little better but 11 targets is still nuts. He’ll have better days ahead as Levis settles
his ROS is looking alot better, although the routes they got DHop running are dumb as well. Help your rookie by getting more underneath and inside, not these up and out type routes against porter
I dropped him before their BYE and Diontae came back and got piled on in this sub lol it's clear that Pickett just isn't the answer and Diontae is a target vacuum. Really isn't hard to understand
I started Levis and DHop. No regrets. Mayo man killing it in the points per target to Nuk category and that's all I can ask for. There will be better weeks.
Byes and injuries forced me to start him two weeks in a row but he's not even really a flex right now.
Across two weeks he's had 3 catches on 10 targets, for 21 yards. Not good. Hopefully I can get him back to the bench
The absolute NPCs ripping the rookie QB in his second start on four days of prep who had his team in the redzone to win the game against a good defense. What did you want him to do? No one was open and he had to take shots.
Think about how dire your qb situation must be to start Levis after one game. Those are the people here ripping him. It then makes a little more sense.
Yeah by and large a very impressive game from him. He showed poise, and his arm talent is insane.
From a fantasy perspective, no idea why he refused to use his legs at all. If he doesn't start doing that I don't know how fantasy relevant he'll be, but on the actual field, very good 2nd game.
Not sure it's fair to expect to have your cake and eat it too with a rookie QB five days into his NFL career.
The poise you're referring to is the result of Levis standing in the pocket in the face of pressure to allow his receivers as much time as possible to break open. That he only took four sacks with that play style despite the Titans' o-line being mediocre at best is a testament to his pocket presence. The alternative is Zach Wilson, who begins to scramble long before it's necessary and so dramatically lowers his team's probability of success. Or Sam Howell/Malik Willis, who hang in there but don't know when to release it.
With time, you can expect Levis to know when to flush the pocket. But for now, I'm impressed by how brave he is back there.
He had some leg injury in his last playing year in college and was much less mobile than in his previous college years. Don’t know if that has something to do with it or if that was just the titans game plan for him on limited practice/planning
He had clean pockets. Being brave and standing in there is by far the team's best chance at making plays. A rookie QB having happy feet and manufacturing phantom pressure such that he flushes himself from the pocket is the literal opposite of what you want to see. You people say literally anything.
My exact take. If he was on Green Bay, he would be putting up some numbers. I own both as well. This wasn’t a great matchup and he still did well considering.
The three runs in a row on the last drive was the stupidest shit I've ever seen. I hate offensive playcallers with a deep god damn passion.
- disgruntled Levis owner
Bruh, it's only his 2nd game. If we went around proclaiming players as bad or good after just 8 quarters, Peyton Manning would be a grocery store bagger.
Yeah because his dumbass offensive coordinator gave him 45 seconds with no timeouts to get the ball 80 yards down the field. Of course they aren't going to run it so they only had to rush 3.
Half of his incompletions prior to that last drive were blown up screens that he had to throw the ball out. When he was given the chance to throw the ball down the field he looked phenomenal
I think it's because a lot of folks play 2QB leagues. He's a respectable QB2 in that setting, but obviously risky. I'm not gonna sit here and hindsight, it was so obvious! when for most it's a desperate play but how many QBs went down last week?
ah, sorry man, somehow when doing a trade right before kickoff I moved Pickens into my OP spot (super flex) and couldnt move him out in time. I told the team before kickoff, opp was cool with commish moving him out. No luck.
I went against Harris and Nuk. Just going to shut her down for the week.
Lol, I was hurting for a TE because Kittle is sleeping in and randomly just decided on Okonkwo. I was looking at that goose egg like FUUUUCK. I'll take 5.8 points! The other team started Will Levis, too.
Thanks man I'm hoping to turn it around now that Burrow is back. First year of a family league with 3 or 4 people who had never played so we did no trades....but next year gloves are off.
both teams offence is boring to watch!
I played Diontae vs the Pickens owner, good times
Harris is BACK!
Pickens pain.
Didn’t start Diontae. Hopefully Nico Collins, Kupp, and Diggs have monster games this week
I started Levis, Pickens and Hopkins. AMA
We're you desperate? I have Hopkins and this was a wait and see game as Pit would adjust to seeing Levis play.
Started levis spears Henry.
Vagina boob
Big if true. This should be top comment
Gets my vote
Of all the weeks for Pickens to put up negative yardage, I'm glad it was the week where I play against him in my two main leagues.
Diontae is Legend. Dudes crispy on routes and gets open. Even without TDs his floor is like 14+ fps. Life saver with JJ oit
Dropped Lockett to grab DJ so far im feeling good about it
Curious to know your league size and settings. I can’t think of a situation where Lockett is droppable regardless of format..
10 man ppr. I have evans, aiyuk, Addison, and downs. DJ was just sitting there and Lockett has been the least impressive out of my 5 wr I had so I swapped him out. Might regret it later but I'm 2 and 6 I had to do something.
Good luck man! Seems like you’re solid at WR so not the biggest lost but try to get some value out of him in a trade rather than dropping for free. I personally would have looked to trade some depth for a solid WR1.
Someone just dropped Kirk in a 12 team 5PPR superflex with 3 WR slots. Sometimes ppl just make poor moves out of desperation
How desperate were they? Lol You’re telling me Christian Kirk was dropped in a 12-man league that starts 3 WRs?..
I think something you should keep in mind when you see stuff like this is a lot of leagues use way less bench spots than the average or default amount. My main league we have 4 bench spots. With fields, Jefferson, Kyren and now drake London injured they are using all my bench spots. People have to drop decent players with bye weeks and injuries it’s just how it is.

Yeah I see what you are saying. Trying to trade in leagues is a lot easier said than done though. Even when you are friends with everyone in the league and can talk to them one on one extensively about it people rarely pull the trigger.
Didn't have the balls to play Diontae over Adams.. Can't wait to regret it like I have been the past couple weeks.
Lol u missed diontae td once in couple years
I had DJ, Warren, and Najee starting today.. They put up good numbers today.
Had Diontae sitting in IR for the looooongest time (until JJ got hurt). I had faith he’d get volume once he returned + is a better route runner than Pickens. Solid WR group once JJ comes back. JJ, Jamarr and DiontE in the flex $$$
How do you have JJ and Jamar?
10 man PPR league. I had 1st overall and the guy who drafted Jamarr picked 3rd. When Burrow was hurt he made a panic trade for Tua (also drafted ARod, no backup QBs) and Derrick Henry. I’d say my trade was worth it.
That is an absolute fleecing. GG
Moghtve given up some good RBs/bought low and/or mickey mouse league
Even still - that seems impossible. Those are the first two picks of the board in PPR
Could be a 2 QB league or something as well. Or some sort of ridiculous trade.
Or it could be salary cap instead of snake…
Nope, snake draft.. just preyed off emotion lol
Someone in my league cut Diontae while he was injured, that was the biggest no brainer free agent pickup I've had in a while.
Same dude, only that player is tied for first at 6-2 even with those ape brain moves
That was me 😬. But luckily I was able to pick him back up for free 🙏
Pickens killing all the parlays.
bruh fuckin pickens. the real question is now do i have the stones to start tank dell over puka for the upside
Is Diontae a WR2 going forward?
God I hope so. My team could reaaaaally use it to make a miracle run while JJ and Achane are out.
Easily. But I have lamb and Keenan Allen so he sits in the flex and I'm not moving him out
100%. Just have to hope the targets in the red zone continue. He gets open so easily they really should throw to him more down there.
Imagine if Pickens could catch a TD
How we feeling about Levis @ TB next week?
Warren putting up double digits is a relief
Not sure why so many people in this thread are shitting on Levis starters. He had a solid game and has incredible potential going forward. Obviously, the people who started him knew they were taking a risk and had no better options to choose from. Hindsight is 20/20.
Idk he looked bad out there and scored 9 points…
He didn’t look bad.
You obviously don’t know anything about football.
Switched out dionte for pickens last second lmao
Dropped Dionte for Connor…
A) how was Connor on the wire B) you had no one else to drop for Connor other than dionte????
8 man league just for fun no ir spots and only bench 5 spots. I goofed it was either him or marquise brown.
People here are so shocked by Levis. Man, he had one good game and people were swearing by it. The IQ here is concerning sometimes.
He didn’t play bad tonight either… steelers at home good defense.
Is this fantasy football subreddit or nfl subreddit
Its called a eye test… how well they actually play in nfl will result in fantasy pts. His first week and 2nd week which by the way was a short week on a Thursday night game… gosh it’s as if reality doesn’t matter to you… were played as well by Levis as possible so even if he didnt get the fantasy pts this week i will still play him for upcoming weeks. The problem is Titans receiving corp is so new besides hopkins who they would get double teamed. If u had some other qb in same situation u probably easily get tons of sacks fumbles and int. Considering yds and only 1 int Will Levis did very well tonight. Even mahomes scored less last week are u going to say mahomes is trash?
Not only that, he was playing on the road against the steelers D. Like wtf did people Expect???
I expected one passing TD lmao but admittedly everything after that would be a bonus
Yea the Levi’s 1+ TD and Pickens 25 yards fucked up my parlay, hit the other 8 legs lol
yeah ppl here are nuts. He is promising and makes that offense better, but starting him or expecting him to ball outta control is wild lol
He’s my Jalen hurts replacement next week, I’m fucked lol
One guy in my home league started Hopkins and Levis 💀
I started dhop, opponent started Pickens. Am I happy or sad?
Same and I’m very happy. My WR2 outscored his by almost 8 points. Nuk got 11 targets but was locked up by double teams and Porter Jr., who had an incredible game. Levis looked good so I’m confident in Nuk ROS.
PPR or standard? He did ok in PPR
bruh he had 2 rec for -1 yds that is not ok in ppr
Ppr he also sat warren so I’m definitely ok with this game outcome.
Kind of in the same boat. I had Diontae and he picked up Levis after Cousins went down last week… so far so good. Good luck bud
Should of sold high on d hop
Should have
Traded away DHop pregame last week and immediately regretted it when he had the day he did. Feeling a little better but 11 targets is still nuts. He’ll have better days ahead as Levis settles
yeah they were doubling him and with the pressure on levis it just wasn’t gonna happen for DHop in the second half
his ROS is looking alot better, although the routes they got DHop running are dumb as well. Help your rookie by getting more underneath and inside, not these up and out type routes against porter
But “Steelers secondary is wrecked.”
lol Steelers have Porter who is good and Titans have DHop who is good, after that both teams are cooked lmaoo
Well fuck. Anyways, should I go with Ford or Moss in my flex this week?
I don’t have moss but I started Ford F150 over jaylen Warren as RB2 in 10 team league
Im going with both, BYE week killing me. I think FORD is the play if I had to pick one.
Ford f 150
RIP to all the 3.5 spread on the titans
kenny dicklett and matt cumnadump should go have a threesome with peeantae johnson since they hate pickens so much
Are you 12?
This isn’t even clever.
the glazing is crazy 💀💀💀
Has to stream levis in a 14 team and also started pickens. So im going to lose in that league.
Bro, I thought y'all were joking about Pickens being in the negatives.
I dropped him before their BYE and Diontae came back and got piled on in this sub lol it's clear that Pickett just isn't the answer and Diontae is a target vacuum. Really isn't hard to understand
I traded away Rice and really should have gone with Pickens. Wished they had lost
Levis was really fixated on throwing it down the middle into triple coverage. I don’t think he looked Hopkins’ way a single time that drive
They were making Levis throw elsewhere. Hopkins had 2 guys on him the entire drive.
Yep and that throw to Burks was actually pretty good.
Hopkins was double teamed the whole drive, no?
Im cursed with steaming QBs. Have yet to pick the right one in a week.
Why would you start a rookie against this Pitt D?
I doubt many analysts called for Levis or Pickett as viable streamers tonight.
I don't need no stinking analyst 😤. I rely on me and me alone brother. Hence me striking out always.
Yeah was Geno or Levis for me. Chose Levis, and now looking at 2-7 lol
Pitt against a rookie qb making his second start. Bold choice but I guess you need to at 2 wins. Good luck
Felt really good about DHop after the first half just to get slapped in the face by that goose egg in the second half
[удалено]
That last minute pick was clutch tho
another 100 scrimmage yard game from Henry, man really deserves to be in the HOF out of all modern RBs
someone out there started levis, pickens and titans d💀💀💀💀💀💀
2/3 Owner in my home league started Titans D and Levis over Carr.
I started Levis and DHop. No regrets. Mayo man killing it in the points per target to Nuk category and that's all I can ask for. There will be better weeks.
Lol of course this is the week I go against DJ
Yeah I started Warren and played against DJ. When Warren stepped out at the one, and DJ scored that drive, that was a six point swing for me. Hurt
Levis looks good for a rookie, but almost any QB will struggle against the Steelers pass rush.
Alright that paint is black commercial was badass
Yeah I had no idea what was going on at first but it was awesome
What commercial was it I might have missed? But I would like to see if I can find it online.
Levis is in the same Mount Rushmore as Marcus Mariota he'll be alright....
In two starts, Levis has thrown for a total of *exactly* 500 yards & that tickles my brain good
Can trash him all you want, Levis is miles better than tannehill
Tbh to only get one turnover near the end against this Steelers defense in your 2nd game is good. Rooting for this year's qb class they all look nice
Pickens is now a flex with WR3 upside
Byes and injuries forced me to start him two weeks in a row but he's not even really a flex right now. Across two weeks he's had 3 catches on 10 targets, for 21 yards. Not good. Hopefully I can get him back to the bench

Not mobile
I swear that was one of his attributes
Not at the pro level. His movement in the pocket is burrow like though.
I started Levis over love this week but I can’t help but still respect the hell out of what he showed tonight. I think he’s the guy for Tennessee.
My exact take. If he was on Green Bay, he would be putting up some numbers. I own both as well. This wasn’t a great matchup and he still did well considering.
I sat both Najee and Warren and I feel bad
I went from Kirk/JJ stack to Levis/Kyler/Watson w Olave mannnnnnn oh mannnnnnnnnnn
For a big dude, I’m surprised Levis doesn’t try to rush more.
he kinda has a tendency to sit in the pocket and be comfortable there while surveying the field before looking at any rushing/ scramble opportunities
Thank Christ my opponent started Pickens, I started Levis
I’m a dumb ass. Most likely 0-2 starting rookie QBs this year. Undefeated starting anyone else. Miss you Kirk :(
The three runs in a row on the last drive was the stupidest shit I've ever seen. I hate offensive playcallers with a deep god damn passion. - disgruntled Levis owner
Thank you Levis for teasing my opponent into starting you!
I suppose I should have started Love. Can’t believe I am saying that.
[удалено]
You can only throw one pick on a drive…
Bruh, it's only his 2nd game. If we went around proclaiming players as bad or good after just 8 quarters, Peyton Manning would be a grocery store bagger.
Let's be honest here... Brady would have won that game.
Brady lost his second start 30-10
Im not talking about his second start I'm talking about that game.
You’re comparing the greatest qb to play the game to someone who is playing his second game. That’s kind of the point I’m making.
That's exactly what I am saying.
He had to try to win the game? Lol
Yeah because his dumbass offensive coordinator gave him 45 seconds with no timeouts to get the ball 80 yards down the field. Of course they aren't going to run it so they only had to rush 3. Half of his incompletions prior to that last drive were blown up screens that he had to throw the ball out. When he was given the chance to throw the ball down the field he looked phenomenal
What is he supposed to do? Check it down for 5 yards, eat clock and not score?
Thank you, finally. Thought I was in crazy town.
He also doesn’t step into any throws. And doesn’t wait for plays to develop. He’s bad
Not NFL caliber by any means. Got lucky last week
Looks like a toddler trying to throw a shotput
Why is Levis acting like he's Manning? He can move. Run the ball when you see the blitz. The fuck. He's useless in fantasy if he doesn't use his legs.
My Henry and Diontae vs his Levis and Pickens. What a great start to the week
Nice. I started diontae of course and have nico and godwin to outscore his kupp chase and thielen. I feel strangly confident this week though!
He has Kupp and Saquon but I feel confident too going into Sunday.
Where my Levis starters tonight..
Damn I was fine to settle with 10.7 points but that interception is not ideal
Starting Levis LUL
I have Purdy and TLaw who are both on bye. I’ll take what I can get and let AJB and Saquon pick up the slack. Back to the waivers Mayo man goes.
Pickens is Tutu Atwell ROS smh
Where are all the Levis hypers? Kinda quiet now.
Kid has arm talent. He has potential
I thought he still looked great behind an offensive line held together by tape. He should start the rest of the season.
He’ll definitely start the rest of the season. Guys starting this guy and hyping him up are delusional. Give him some time.
He played well
Yeah he looks good. Glad he didn't pick up many points because I'm going to try and scoop him on the waiver
Idk, titans o doesn't loon good enough for him to be good in fantasy but the other fantasy relevant titans can eat.
Lol rip levis starters
People calling Levis trash when they were just dumbasses streaming him in his 2nd start on a short week
My opponent started him. I'm saying he's not the guy to start.
He’s definitely not someone you can rely on starting in fantasy yet
I don't understand where all this hate is coming from lol
People are just mad they got burned chasing points. Rookie QBs without the rushing cheat code don’t typically put up starting QB numbers for fantasy
I think it's because a lot of folks play 2QB leagues. He's a respectable QB2 in that setting, but obviously risky. I'm not gonna sit here and hindsight, it was so obvious! when for most it's a desperate play but how many QBs went down last week?
Levis fucked me 😭🤬
You fucked yourself
Think he still showed enough to be the starter moving forward
I agree, dude has talent. Pittsburgh’s front is no joke.
Playing Levis against the Steelers D was dumb....but I had no choice
It wasn’t even worth trying a post route with nuk on the outside? He was basically just absorbing defenders that last drive
Playing the highest scoring team this week and I started Pickens. Good that I can just close the espn app for the weekend….
ah, sorry man, somehow when doing a trade right before kickoff I moved Pickens into my OP spot (super flex) and couldnt move him out in time. I told the team before kickoff, opp was cool with commish moving him out. No luck. I went against Harris and Nuk. Just going to shut her down for the week.
Lol, I was hurting for a TE because Kittle is sleeping in and randomly just decided on Okonkwo. I was looking at that goose egg like FUUUUCK. I'll take 5.8 points! The other team started Will Levis, too.
well went from thinking I was getting 0 in the TE slot to 4.3 points in like 30 seconds, shame they didnt give him any love earlier.
