The Tyrell Williams auctions have been off the wall too, I saw somebody bid $40!! We encouraged being aggressive early but some teams are going to burn through their cash pretty fast.
Yeah all it takes is two teams deciding to bid $40 to make that strategy backfire. It bears repeating- in ottoneu (Vickrey style) second price auctions your best strategy is to bid exactly what you think a player is worth (to you), no more and no less. Maybe Tyrell is worth $40 to you, because you have a gaping hole at WR and $70 in open cap, but I think that is rare.
Yeah I’d imagine so. I still feel fine about the logic though - Taylor still looked awfully shaky at times during the game, I’m not sure this reassured me very much for the rest of the season.
Yeah divisional games also tend to be a little wacky, and I agree that Tyrod still looked pretty bad (mostly with his short/intermediate throws, he had no “touch” at all).
Yeah - he looked good on a couple deep balls but terrible on a lot of mid-distance passes. A bunch of times it looked like he had someone wide open about 15 yards out and just threw it way over their head, or put his head down and ran, only to get tackled for a loss anyway.
This was definitely a worse week for us compared to last week, especially our Start picks (which podcast listeners will recognize as our standard M.O. from last season).
I will say though, this seemed like an awfully brutal week for bad performances and ugly games. I feel good about the logic behind most of our picks and I’d probably make similar choices if we had another shot. Sometimes you just get burned anyway
