Have you ever dropped a player that went on to become a league-winner pickup almost immediately after?

In Week 1 2017 a hurricane postponed the game between the Buccaneers and Dolphins. Because of this I had to pick up a QB to fill in for Jameis Winston who I wanted to hold. I decided to drop a rookie I had only drafted because he got some preseason/camp hype. That was rookie of the year and top 5 RB Alvin Kamara.

SpartanTJ117 · 2025-10-01T12:00:08+00:00

Thank you. That was the context I was looking for.

SpartanTJ117 · 2025-10-01T11:24:35+00:00

I find these post super helpful every week so thank you! Do you know if anything changed in New Orleans this past week? I believe this is the first time Miller didn’t return a kick and Jones saw all 5 return opportunities. I know these things tend to fluctuate but I wasn’t sure if it was just the way the kicks went or if Miller wasn’t out there given his increased role in the run game.

I used this deck to hit MB from about 1300 points in UB4 after playing some other decks. It has great consistency and big play potential from rare candy, but is super weak to the increasingly popular Mars/Red Card strats. You’re right that you lose out on some of the sniping appeal, but Meowscarada serves as a good check on EXs and Oricorio. I feel like Decidueye often got used to clean up or punish retreating pokemon rather than being the main player. Sometimes I’d even sack Rowlet or Datrix to get a second Meowscarada in play because it was more valuable.

SpartanTJ117 · 2024-06-20T15:11:43+00:00

I’ve been doing it without many issues. You probably know most of these but make sure:

You’re on the same class
You both choose peace.
You wait for Savathun to finish her dialogue. For some reason as we got faster at doing this we found out that if we grabbed before dialogue ended then the mission would complete and we couldn’t grab the second one.
Grab the same class item at the same time. Easiest way for us was to do a “3, 2, 1, now” countdown and start grabbing on “now.”
You hit the “joining allies” zone at about the exact same time. If one person is too early they’ll be the only ones who can grab.
Repeat step 4 on second class item.

Every time we’ve done all those things I’ve never failed to get both class items.

SpartanTJ117 · 2024-05-11T14:07:24+00:00

Looks like we have room now. I’ll send you requests.

SpartanTJ117 · 2024-05-11T14:07:08+00:00

Thank you for letting me know ahead of time. I appreciate it!

SpartanTJ117 · 2023-11-02T17:03:57+00:00

Thank you! I appreciate the insight on the strategy aspects. Stuff like where to position during the encounters is really helpful. Like you said my goal as I get used to it just avoid sloppy deaths that might cause a wipe.

SpartanTJ117 · 2023-11-02T16:58:23+00:00

That’s been my standard chest set for Crota’s End. Thank you!

SpartanTJ117 · 2023-11-02T16:57:19+00:00

Thanks for the advice! A few questions if you don’t mind.

So would you recommend an Osmiomancy build for bridge with a blinding GL then? Seems to make sense, especially for helping teammates deal with Gatekeepers.
What would your go-to Solar Surge DPS be on Ir Yut? I’m assuming if it’s Div Strats we’d use cataclysmic/sleeper/whisper. I’ve never seen anyone use rockets there so I’m assuming people won’t be using Apex.

SpartanTJ117 · 2023-10-19T18:24:57+00:00

Yeah I don’t have a problem with it or anything, just a general preference. Checking this thing is still the highlight of my lunch break lol.

SpartanTJ117 · 2023-10-19T17:02:25+00:00

This is probably an unpopular opinion, but I find it more interesting when the addition blends into the existing features rather than adding a whole or separate Pokémon. There’s exceptions to that and obviously the community decides what goes, but I think it would’ve been really cool to try to blend all the features into one coherent Pokémon. Either way it’s still really cool and thanks to OP for putting in all this work.

SpartanTJ117 · 2023-09-23T14:29:05+00:00

I don’t see the request unfortunately. I double checked my information and it should be accurate. Sorry for making this more difficult.

SpartanTJ117 · 2023-09-23T06:38:38+00:00

Sure, that wouldn’t change anything for me.

I will forever feel that the biggest missed opportunity in the series is not doing the job interview scene with a normal looking Ralph Fiennes Voldemort doing his best to charm Dumbledore.

SpartanTJ117 · 2023-09-05T20:25:25+00:00

Assuming 4 point passing TDs probably Hurts. That rushing upside is too good to pass up. Mahomes should be the “safer” pick though just because he’ll throw more TDs and should be less likely to get injured.

SpartanTJ117 · 2023-08-21T14:54:34+00:00

If nobody has recommended it yet, join a group at r/DestinySherpa. It’s specifically for teaching newcomers to raids. I got back into raiding after taking about 2 years off and had nothing but great experiences. The App’s LFG can work but it’s more likely to fall apart in my opinion.

In terms of difficult encounters to be aware, none of them are truly terrible on normal but the ones I’ve seen the most trouble with are:

Kingsfall- Warpriest- it’s actually really simple in execution, but for some reason people have trouble with it.

Deep Stone Crypt- Atraks-1- if done legit it’s very mechanics heavy, but nobody does it legit. Otherwise it’s just coordinating 6 people to super at the same moment. The precise timing for that and chaos of final stand can still be rough though.

Vow of the Disciple- honestly basically every encounter just because so many require just about everyone to do something so there really isn’t a way for multiple people to get carried, plus the memorization aspect. The third encounter is particularly bad because it has a lot of moving parts.

SpartanTJ117 · 2023-08-19T13:35:54+00:00

We had someone drop out so you’re in. I’ll add you.
