I really like ESPN's platform. If you prefer CBS, I'll give you my team in DSafe's league, and take this one. Trust me, my team is AWESOME!

I’ve started 0-3, but have scored the fourth most points. This is the first time I’ve ever done FF and it sucks. I am actively rooting against players I like.

If it makes you feel better, I almost benched Cousins fearing the Rams D. I have no RBs, so you still have a good shot at beating me.

While I am quite happy with what my three players did last night, the game is in no way over. In particular, I'm not looking forward to figuring out how big of a lead I'll need Sunday evening to feel comfortable with Mahomes and Hunt (and McManus - if I don't mention him, he'll kick six field goals) looming Monday night.

So, cram your reverse jinx.

64 points from Mahomes/Hunt/McManus?

I'm having the worst coaching year ever. In this league, I'm constantly leaving my highest-scoring flex on the bench and picking shitty defenses. I'm lucky I have the stars I have or I'd be 0-4 easily.

My other league I left nearly 60 points on the bench which hurts, but I paid a lot of FAAB for shitty players and dropped players who went off yesterday.

Guy in our league was behind 49- (-9) after TNF. He is now projected to win by 10. Very weird.

I'm not counting it as a win because "Mahomes throws for five TDs, including two to Hunt" is not off the table. That would get you 2/3 of the way home without a single point from yardage. At one point yesterday, the website listed me having a 96% percent chance of winning, but Kamara's three TDs have you up to 23%. I'm likely to win, but I'm not counting on it yet.

On the play during the game-winning drive where Kelce got drilled in the end zone, Hunt was wide open and would've trotted in for the score. That would've been an epic comeback, but alas I fall short and now get to lament not starting Alshon over Cole. Ugh.

I lost my big money league on the very last play for our players - the Thomas TD in Denver.

Luckily my Mahomes/Hunt helped cover up my worst coaching decision ever in my other league. I'm a great GM, shitty coach.

I literally flipped a coin between Goff and Mahomes yesterday in my big pool.

Luckily, the coin was smarter than I am.

In my aforementioned "Big pool," I had the #2 pick. Guy with the first pick started the draft on autoselect and got Bell. I then took Gurley.

Little things like that keep me from feeling that the world is an irredeemably bleak and awful place.

I'm up 49 in my other league and he has Mahomes/Butcher. I'm confident something's going to happen where I somehow lose both.

When he was down 64 earlier this season, he got 59 in one game from Mahomes, Hunt and Brandon McManus.

In other words, I know the feeling.

Also, I hope you hold on.

I have never been so invested in a Monday night game. I need a Goff/Cooks TD and I'll probably win in our pool. In my small money pool, I need 18 points and have Cooks (points are easier to get in that one). and in my big pool I am trailing by 29.5 and have Mahomes, Cooks, Gurley and Butker and my opponent has Hill.

Should be a fun night!
