Flex options: Robby Anderson, Jamison Crowder, David Montgomery.
I want to believe in Montgomery after last week, but it’s not the best matchup. Plus, Anderson May finally have a big game against that Dolphins D. Any thoughts?

I'd probably go Anderson, but he's very much a boom/bust guy.

Going to go 2-2 this week if I am lucky.
I am having 145, 165 and 180 scored on me this week. Da fuq.
I barely fielded a team in one league. Had four guys out with injury and two bye.
Shitty luck this year with injuries and opponents scoring like crazy on me.

I feel like I’m being kind of a candy ass, but I want to look at ways to make my league less luck based next year
I am currently in last place with more points than the first place team. Teams score 115 points per week against me (league average is about 90 per week)
it seems like every week the team I play I would have beat the previous week and I would beat if I played the next week.
at that point how fun even is fantasy? It’s not about skill as I’m top 4 in points and have a pretty good team. It’s just entirely a random number generator for the schedule that is the different from me being in first place and last place
last year the team that had the most points in this league by over 200 missed the playoffs
I’m in a lot of leagues but for whatever reason it seems like my league is constantly just luck based and very little skill comes into play
thoughts?

I was in a league once where it was just by total points. Twelve team league. Top six in points got a win, bottom six got a loss.
The only time there was a true head to head was in the championship.

I’m really conflicted on it. I think the luck of it is good in some ways. It’s the only reason for half the teams to even pay attention when 2-3 teams have the clear cut best teams.
and the head to head matchups make for fun rivalries
but God damn I think I’ve slid into 3rd in the league in points after this week and I might lose because Damien Williams decided to have more points today than he has in like 6 weeks cumulatively. It gets frustrating when you are the #2-4 scorer every week going against the team with just a hair more points than you

Yeah, I feel you on that.
Last year in the only paid league I'm in, the guy who was second to last in total points won the championship. He had far and away the fewest points scored against him all season long, and he was able to luck his way to a championship win and a clean $700.
His lineup in last year's championship game was honestly pathetic. I think his best player was Julio Jones and then he had like... Kerryon Johnson maybe. Just, not a great team. One I would look at and think it's a .500 team if everything breaks right all year.
This year, besides having my top two picks (M. Thomas & Smith-Schuster) lose their QBs for a good chunk of the season, I've got the 5th most total points and far and away the most points scored against me. I've got two wins right now, and I'm looking like a loser again this weekend.
The luck and rivalry factor can be nice, it's always fun to have a shitty week but still find a way to beat your opponent because they had an even shittier week. It's equally as frustrating to lose a game 171-168 when the next highest score in your league was 117.
I had fun in that one league. I felt like everybody that made the playoffs deserved it. There still would be times you'd have a great week and get screwed a bit since a bunch of other guys had great weeks, but I think everything balanced out a lot more by the end of that one.

All play fixes most of these issues.
