We’ll be here every other week through the fantasy season to answer your questions. Here are my weekly rankings.

Each week, I’ll kick things off by writing a Fantasy Football Forecast for the upcoming week. The Forecast is part usage report, part waiver wire advice, part buy/sell trade advice.

    Alright I asked Joe Bond this too. Bye week hell for me. Got a tricky one for you. Need some advice but it’s lengthy.

    8 team 2QB 2FLEX 0.5 PPR

    QB: Mahomes, Hurts, Kyler

    RB: JT, Swift, KW3, Achane, Conner, BRob (WAS)

    WR: AJB, Ceedee, Nico, Hopkins, Addison, Terry

    TE: Andrews

    DST: Browns

    K: Aubrey

    Okay so I have Mahomes, Hurts, AJB, Swift, and Achane all on bye. Plugging in for WR, RB, and Flex isn’t my issue. My issue is I don’t know what to do at QB with both Hurts and Mahomes on bye. Who tf do I drop for my second QB? Anyone I drop would easily be the best player on the wire so it’s almost for certain that I won’t be getting them back. And my options at QB on the wire are Heinicke, Pickett, Love, Minshew, Mac, Z Wilson, DeVito, and O’Connell. I’m at 5-4 with the most points this season by about 70 points to a team who is tied with me at 5-4.

    Top 4 teams make playoffs and the way it sits right now is such.

    1st: 8-1 (1275.04 points)

    2nd (me): 5-4 (1364.06 points)

    3rd: 5-4 (1294,32 points)

    4th: 5-4 (1114,94 points)

    5th: 4-5 (1292.5 points)

    6th: 4-5 (1154,36 points)

    7th: 3-6 (1249,18 points)

    8th: 2-7 (1177,66 points)

    Now, I face 1st seed this week and 3rd and 4th face each other so one of them is coming out 5-5. The 5th and 6th seed also face each other so one of them will also be 5-5. If I lose this week, that puts me at 5-5 but I feel like the odds of any of the possible 5-5 teams making up the difference in PF are very slim. Should I just eat the L this week and not risk dropping anyone for a second QB? Or is that a stupid move to take the L this week and risk losing my cushion in PF and record in the event of ties down the road? Thanks in advance for reading and helping.
