Me, one week ago:
“’Refreshing’ may seem like an odd word choice to describe a 61-year-old curmudgeonly retread coach, albeit one with a Super Bowl ring. But here we are with Broncos head coach Sean Payton, who very refreshingly says one thing… and then actually does that thing.”
My new thinking, this week:
“Chaos isn’t a pit. Chaos is a ladder. Many who try to climb it fail, and never get to try again. The fall breaks them. And some are given a chance to climb but they refuse. They cling to the realm, or the gods, or love. Illusion. Only the ladder is real. The climb is all there is.”
-Petyr “Littlefinger” Baelish
This is all to say you won’t fool me twice, Coach Payton! And as to the larger dynamic in play? It’s week 12, with a mere three weeks of regular season fantasy action remaining. It’s all coming to a head, so you best embrace the chaos because it’s coming soon to a theater near you.
Disclaimer! As you’re well aware by the fact you’ve come to a website entitled dynastyleaguefootball.com, we’re still taking a long view into account in addition to each player’s weekly (and year-to-date) output. Guidance will continue to take into account a player’s current stature in tools such as DLF’s ADP and rankings, in addition to how he’s performed.
One last note, as I’m referencing DLF ADP and rankings, advice herein is for a 12-team, non-superflex setting with full PPR scoring. Divergent league settings (both for starting positions and scoring) hopefully shouldn’t render this advice as not actionable, but it’s an important disclaimer nonetheless.
With that preamble in hand, here are the tactical transactions you should consider before week 12:
Buy (All Teams / Middle-of-the-Road and Rebuilding Slants)
Week 11 Line: 3-61-0
After an underwhelming first month to the season, one in which London could only compile an aggregate 200 yards (albeit with two scores), all of London’s goodwill appeared to vanish with an ADP that dropped over a round. Following a stronger October, it seems like this blip may have represented more of a “goldfish” moment than anything else. Now quietly on pace for an end-of-year 94-1,097-9.3, the third-year veteran is continuing his ascension despite playing for what has turned out to be a fairly underwhelming Atlanta offense.
