You have kept that momentum of the past few months going beautifully through the byes. A real threat for the $5K now. Last I read I thought you were slingshotting the suspended Zorko and bringing in the Touk Touk express? Although admittedly I haven't been following this thread that closely of late with my sports brain squarely focused on the NBA playo*** atm. 
I basically treaded water over the byes, more or less holding the same rank for the past month, now at 17th. Just can't quite get things to click properly and had another captaincy disaster on the weekend along with an unfortunately timed trade which that alone cost around 50pts and lost about $100K in cap. Those little details really make the difference when you are trying your darnest to shake the tree.
Nonetheless I'm still theoretically in the hunt so will have to try my utmost not to get in the way of my own damn players succeeding haha. However everyone in contention has such stacked sides now that it will require a major dose of luck with injuries and captaincy decisions in any attempt to claw back the leaders ... which now includes bloody Bluth Lodge for the 2nd time in 6mths!

I still reckon holding Zorko was the smart long term play unless you happened to be truly flush with trades. That Lions remaining draw looks fairly tasty so it makes sense to hold him and also get on the likes of Neale and Lyons too. Miller is the Energizer Bunny though and just keeps running all day and racking up those +6s so it doesn't seem to matter whether his side gets pummeled. He scores well regardless so I'm a little miffed I passed on him in all formats thus far.
Interestingly the current RDT leader cashed out Grundy (and possibly Zorko too) or at least doesn't currently have either of these guys atm. Definitely profited as a result over the byes with the cheap points grab there and enjoys a healthy 130pt buffer over everyone else right now. But will those chickens come home to roost if he can't get both back in soon?! Let's hope so for our sake anyway!

Sorry everyone for the brag post but if I can't enjoy this out loud then where's the fun?
