The highest floor - The Athletic
Another Sunday, and another set of fantasy football decisions seemingly determined to wind up with clumps of hair on the floor. That is, of course, unless you’re right here with us at The Athletic as we run back our live Q&A blog for NFL Week 7. Lately injuries have piled up at a disproportionate rate just in time for 19 percent of the league to go on bye, creating havoc across the fantasy landscape. These pending decisions could very well turn winners into losers (or vice-versa), with impact affecting your championship.
Before I dive headlong into your specific questions, let me address the general audience. The amount of positive feedback (thank you all!) on how providing my personal rankings and projected scores helped make your decisions was just too great to ignore. So as they say, if it ain't broke, don’t fix it. Or maybe second verse, same as the first. Either way you get my drift. Let’s win some weeks.
