I have started a Fantasy League on the NFL.com website. I'm not sure quite how well this is going to work, because you may or may not have to download an app in order to get the "Draft Kit" which will give you ratings and injury reports and watnot. It's only Ģ2.99 (no idea in USD) but I've got it as I'm a total rookie at these things. There is a FREE official NFL app which I'm just going to test now...
The league is called "Geekhack Official". We have 12 slots as there hasn't been much interest yet, but I'm sure as we get closer to football more people will look to join (hopefully).
The League ID is 2390379 and the password is geefCCplz

So guys, the football season is almost upon us (yes I know it's over 40 days, but I'm excited) and I was thinking of starting a fantasy league.
Now I've never done any fantasy football before, and I was thinking of starting one on the NFL site, but I'm sure at least one of you guys will know a better site than that, with other features and stuff, but I just want to get a GeekHack league started.
So, anyone interested?
Aren't you English? Shouldn't you be doing a fantasy league for the other kind of football? What is this?
Post by: katushkin on Tue, 29 July 2014, 06:28:08
I've been following the NFL for about six years, and I have also been a soccer fan for longer than that.
The World Cup probably had the opposite effect on me that it did in the USA. I have been kinda disenchanted with soccer for ages, and watching the South American teams play just made me realise how much I actually dislike the sport. How I spent 90% of my time saying how the referees are terrible and how the players are all idiots and throw themselves on the floor all the time.
I have also wanted to get into fantasy football for a few years, and finally with this lovely community, I thought it would be a good idea to finally get into one :)
So here we are. Soccer sucks. Football rules.

Whenever I hear anyone talking about Fantasy (insert any sport here) it reminds me of a meme from Farceboob a while back that said "Fantasy Football, face it, its just D&D for jocks."

Thanks for the explanation. As much as I enjoyed the World Cup, that sort of pettiness was always in the back of my mind. Just wait until you discover how great hockey is!

Don't be afraid if you have never done this before, neither have I! I might have to transfer ownership of the League over to someone else because I have absolutely no idea what I'm doing and the settings are all reeeeeeally daunting.

I know it's all for fun and the league already has some people in it, but thoughts on prizes? Might drum up interest. I just had a fun GH-themed idea: 1 artisan key buy-in, payouts to top 3.
Either way I'm in for sure!
Post by: katushkin on Wed, 06 August 2014, 15:31:24
As for prizes, I was thinking the same thing. I was wondering what I, as the league owner, could provide, but I haven't got much in the way of anything anyone would like really :( We could always ask for fees and then the top 3 get a share, but that may deter people too.

We have space for 12, so we need a minumum of 2 more.
I have no idea when the draft will be, I need to sit down at my PC in the next couple of weeks and work out how to/when to start it.

11 guys per team on the field. Towels only thrown when there are penalties. If you want a basic run-down I'd gladly give you the basics, but if you're fine then I'm fine. :P

Yeah. That makes sense. And we have a few people from different places so it would be a good idea to have it evening time GMT.
I think if we go for the weekend after next? So the 16th or 17th? Gives me time to make sure I know how the hell it's going to work, and means more people are going to be able to make it.

Yeah, if I can do draft on mobile I should be fine. I do know that the time limit is 90 seconds, and for 8 or us selecting 16 (I think?) people it could take quite some time. That's my only worry, is finding the time away from the other stuff to do it. But I'm sure it'll work out just fine. Honestly, I have one person I absolutely want, and everyone else I could survive being auto-drafted. :P

Well, I'm impressed at how well the Redskins played against the Patriots. Our offence was strong, offensive line included, and our seconday wasn't as bad as it has been in previous years.

I will run an injury report on here Saturday night in the first post so people who aren't up to speed don't draft some duff card and bet their team on a player who will be out the first six games of the season or whatever.
Then I will probably lock this thread and start a new trash talk thread with an updated OP with the weekly head to heads, injury reports, current standings etc

The draft date has been set for the 17th of August (this Sunday) at 4:30pm EDT (9:30pm GMT, 10:30pm CET and 6:30am 18/8/14 Sydney time)
The draft time has been set to 120 seconds per pick.
Scoring changes are as follows.
More
In addition to the original scores, QBs will score an additional 5 points for a 400+ passing yard game. RBs will score an additional 5 points for a 200+ rushing yard game. WRs will score an additional 5 points for a 200+ receiving yard game.
A FG missed under 20 yards will lose you 5 points.
The rest remains the same.
A FG missed under 20 yards will lose you 5 points.

5 point loss for a missed chip-shot seems a bit steep due to shanks, blocks, botched snaps and holds, etc. Can that be set to -3?
Otherwise everything looks good. I should be able to make the live draft. :thumb:
Mmm, I guess. I just thought they were super easy and needed penalising if they were missed.
But that's set to -3 now.

But there are so many big names on there with problems. Gronk, Julius Thomas, Ray Rice, Montee Ball. Denver are going to be very trial and error in the first game of their regular season.

He took to the field today against the Rams but they didn't throw to him. So things may be looking up for him :)

Somehow, it managed to reset the draft type to Offline. I don't know how or why, but my mobile app also said offline draft type. Now it has changed to Live after I've edited the settings.
I'm sorry guys. I screwed up, somehow. After reviewing my settings, the earliest point I could reschedule the draft to is 6pm EDT, in an hour and 25 minutes :'(

To Bueller and Signature I'm especially sorry. I know this is now going to be midnight CET for Signature, and as for Bueller, I just don't even know what time this will be.
As for everyone else who took time out of their Sunday to sit down and pay attention to their phones/computers for a while, again, I'm sorry for the cock up.
Any issues with this new time let me know.

So did everyone see their draft recaps yet?Picking seventh overall in the opening round, bueller's BroBots had a decent showing and built a team capable of making the playoffs. They added some running backs early, using three of their first five picks on ball-carriers. At another spot in the lineup, bueller's BroBots was able to secure one of the best foursomes of wide receivers in the league.
Yeah booiiiiii :)

So did everyone see their draft recaps yet?"Following the ninth overall pick in the draft, hwood's HiTek Hitters is forecasted to finish eighth in Geekhack Official. They're intent on proving the talking heads wrong, however. They stocked up on pass-catching weapons early, using three of their first five selections to pick up wide receivers. In conjunction with that drafting strategy, hwood's HiTek Hitters ended up with the most prolific foursome of wide receivers in the league"

DRAFT SUMMARY
HHKBrowns parlayed a good draft slot into a respectable performance. They went after quarterbacks early, using two of their first four picks on signal callers. Going hand-in-hand with that early investment, HHKBrowns secured one of the most prolific combos of quarterbacks in the league.
Taking Tony Romo with the 37th overall pick, was perhaps a stretch. His ADP was 99.8 across all NFL.com leagues.
HHKBrowns got off to a sizzling start, amassing the most projected points in the league during the first half of the draft.
Hunting for deals throughout the draft, four ADP-based steals were snatched up (including Greg Olsen, the Cardinals Defense, and the Chiefs Defense).

Funny that kat and I were the first two in draft order and predicted to take the last two spots in the league. I've always done better with mid-round picks, but still... when have projections EVER been accurate on these things?

TBF, if you base all decisions for this sort of stuff purely on statistics rather than gut feel, you're usually better off.
I won my only March Madness bracket competition I entered (small pool of entries, nothing huge) by picking "boring" picks. Trying to pick upsets and picking your favourite teams isn't a good strategy IMO. Also, I know nothing about college basketball, that's why I picked purely by statistics.

That's what I tried to do in my other league, pick the guys with the longer sample size rather than guys who've only been around a year or so.Draft Grade: A
Proj Record: 10-4
Proj Finish: T2
"Hoff Measures handled the sixth overall pick in the draft well, assembling a team that's capable of doing some serious damage this season. They jumped on ball-carriers early and often, taking running backs with each of their first three picks. That early positional investment helped to yield the best foursome of running backs in the league."
Go team! :cool:
tied second from an auto draft... I hate you...
Who is predicted to be number one then?
TBF, if you base all decisions for this sort of stuff purely on statistics rather than gut feel, you're usually better off.

This might seem crazy but considering how long the NFL is taking to make their mind up I don't think they have a very strong case. I'll be very surprised if he gets more than an 8 game suspension, and if they take much longer he may be able to delay the trial till next season.
Oh and for those that aren't aware, Gordon and Demaryius Thomas were the top two receivers last year. And I have both of them :P

Have you seen the new Fantasy advert where Drew Brees goes in and gets rinsed by that guy sat at the desk? He goes out to Jimmy Graham and says "Good luck bro". I just thought; yeah right, Jimmy Graham doesn't need luck, he's the best TE in the damn league right now.

But I just know that as soon as I swap him out for someone else he will rack up crazy points. I think I might swap him out this week actually seeing as KC is playing Denver, then wait on a better match up. Let's see how Kendall Wright does this week. Projected 13.4 over Jamaal's 13.2. Let's do it.

I changed my line-up this morning.
If the player in that position hasn't played yet and you have another free player, changes can be made up until game-time. For example, I have both Reggie Wayne and Jeremy Maclin available to me for tomorrow night in a WR slot.

For the RB, he's playing on the defensive side, returners can be the RBs, but then they could be people who only appear on special teams, so by default they will all be "defensive" players. As for the player from the defense on the offence, I'm guessing because he doesn't appear as a selectable player in the active fantasy roster, he won't get any points for himself. He would be down on the defence's lineup, therefore only get points for the defence.

The 46 yd run that should have been a touchdown just completely disappeared, even though he was ruled down at the goal line..

After a great start, I was 25 points ahead of bueller by 4pm. Unfortunately, the Seahawks then played, and the Legion of Boom proceeded to suck serious ass and gave up 30 points to Phillip "Tantrum" Rivers and Antonio Gates. Green Bay's furious comeback against the New York Jets (including an 80 yard TD catch from Jordi Nelson) meant that I was beaten soundly by the end of Sunday night.
Boost started off well against Absyrd's ALPSholes and never slowed down. DeMarco Murray gained a total of 173 yards both in the air and on the ground, as well as a TD, with Alfred Morris rushing for two more for the Redskins. While the Seahawks didn't have a great day, Marshawn Lynch still managed to get some points for Boost, getting 73 combined yards and a TD. Three TDs from both Peyton Manning and Brandon Marshall, as well as 9 points from the 41 year old Adam Vinateri couldn't save absyrd from falling 30 points behind by the end of Monday, and guaranteeing Boost's place at the top of the league for another week.
TJcaustin has moved up into second after a 30 point victory against now bottom of the league jdcarpe. JD was no match as five of TJ's selections made over 14 points, Arian Foster being the biggest highlight with 150 yards and a TD to his name. Rob Gronkowsi, who has just come back from major knee surgery, only had 32 rushing yards from JD's TE position, despite playing 28 snaps for the Patriots. His Patriot woes continued, as his benched Pats defence scored 24 points, with 6 sacks and 4 INTs, including a punt block, returned for a TD. Riley Cooper and Carlos Hyde (in for Adrian Peterson) had poor games, only scoring 1.3 points between the two of them, rounding off a miserable week for Carpe Victoriam.
Hoff had a good start too, with Le'Veon Bell putting up a 100 yard game on Thursday night against the Ravens. Sunday started with both teams pulling in the points, until RG3 came off the field injured against the Jags. Salt was rubbed into the wounds even more as Phillip Rivers had a great game netting over 25 points, unfortunately from the comfort of pr0ximity's bench. With no QB, and zero points from one of his starting RBs, pr0ximity started lagging behind as Giovanni Bernard posted almost 170 yards for the Bengals and Hoff. Pr0ximity only ended up 13 points behind however, thanks to a great display by LeSean McCoy in the Eagles win over the Colts, bringing him up off the bottom of the table. Hoff remains in 7th.
Our final matchup was our only "home" win of the week, with Signature bagging his first win of the season. HWood started off well, with Aaron Rodgers throwing for almost 350 yards and 3 TDs, while Zac Stacy managed to grab 11 points, even if he didn't keep his hands on the football all day... With DeSean Jackson going off injured in the 1st quarter for the Redskins, and Dwayne Allen not putting up any points against the Eagles, Hwood's other notable scorers were on his bench, with Randall Cobb putting 18.5 points on the board. Even Sunday night's poor show by the 49ers defence couldn't stop Signature, with Nick Foles having a good performance against the Colts, and Superman Jimmy Graham putting 23.8 points up. Darren Sproles also managed the same figure, unfortunately on Signature's bench, maybe a roster move for this week ;) This win meant Signature leapfrogged Hwood in fifth, and up into fourth place, as the highest scoring team with a 1-1 record.
Post by: absyrd on Tue, 16 September 2014, 14:35:10
Do you know how signature and hwood are ahead of Hoff and I in the standings despite having less Points For? Is that just because of waiver #? So odd.
Post by: katushkin on Tue, 16 September 2014, 17:09:37
I'm not too sure, I'm looking at the settings and I can't seem to find why they would be higher. Only thing I can think of is head to head ratings, but you haven't all played each other, so I don't know =/
It could be to do with waivers, as they only reset on a Tuesday. Or points for/against maybe. Signature has a better points difference than you both, no idea about Hwood though.

Oh, and my defence is on a bye as well. So It's gonna be a bad week.

TE shouldn't be too much of a problem, just pick up a flyer off the waiver wire and drop him next week. Play the matchups and you should be okay, I did the same for the first half of last season (waiting on Gronk) and didn't do too badly.It is my big bye-week already.

lol even with 3 TDs, only 150 yds. Probably because he was starting in the redzone everytime :pankle. got beat up in a pile when he tried to rush. coach said if the game had been on sunday bridgewater would have played. and aaron got pulled at the start of the 4th.I'm at a concert, can someone give me a brief summary of the Packers game? All I know is the score. What the heck is Minnesota doing??Ponders is getting intercepted every other throw, the O-line collapses pretty much every play, Lacy is actually having a good game for once
Ponders is in?? What happened to Teddy?
Thanks woodie! Appreciate the updates. I just wish I got more points from Rodgers!

Hell yeah finally starting to see some of that Lacy magic.

What's worse is he has Phillip Rivers riding his bench, too.

I'd let him be. He's said he doesn't know what to do or anything about it and guilting him isn't helpful.

Whoa, you guys, this is a super casual league. People joined who don't know how the sport even works. Isn't it a bit extreme to be mad at someone for this? Sure, it would be awesome for everyone to be all-in, but if they're not then oh well.Yeah, that's kinda what I thought too. It's only one person anyway

And Rodgers didn't put up his projected points against the Vikings, so that cut out 8 points I "should" have had. Oh well, though. The Packers won, so it's a good week in my house.

Hahaha, you have for the last few weeks ;) Good to see you back though. I wouldn't drop RG3 if you still have faith, he should be back in 3 weeks. Although it might just be worth dropping him and picking him up in a few weeks or something.
Welp, I lose. Nice job Kat. I should have swapped Decker, but I wanted to believe...

I am honestly, really surprised. I thought with you coming off so well after TNF, I had no chance. I looked at the points Matt Forte was racking up before I went to bed, and just though that it was over. But I swapped out Kirk Cousins at the last minute, and I'm so happy Brady pulled it off. Your kicker racked up some serious points though! Two 50+ yard FGs!

Yeah he's probably staying with me for a while yet, Rivers doesn't have a bye until week 10, and RG3 may be back by then. And I don't see myself getting much better than Rivers at the moment. Let's hope he stays healthy.

No, of all the QBs left, there aren't any better than Rivers right now. TBH, there aren't that many QBs taken that are better than Rivers right now :P
I just started another league with a friend last night that only has four people in it, and I got auto-drafted because I was out to dinner.
I picked up Peyton Manning, Lynch, Jimmy Graham AND GRONK, as well as Megatron and Le'Veon Bell. I'm 4-1 after all the previous match-ups were worked out.

Okay. I was gonna ***** about the points-against bueller... but his points-for is crazy!!!Last week was mental, everyone on my active roster except one guy had huge weeks. Demaryius Thomas more than made up for a slow start to the season, so rare to see WR's with over 30 points.

One thing I've learned is to never put your Thursday night guys in the flex, helps to have that little bit of wiggle room should you need to sub an RB for a WR due to injury.

bueller's point total is amazing. He'll probably be one of those guys that doesn't have a bad week til the playoffs.
Yeah I looked at my player rankings and it looks like I've got the number 2 & 3 receivers in Jordy Nelson and D. Thomas. Nelson is only .3 off the lead as well. Got lucky picking up Greg Olsen off the waivers at TE too, he's ranked 2 at the moment. Funnily enough I went into the draft saying I was going to go heavy on RB's and none of my picks have been outstanding.

I have no idea what is going on. I've got like the 4th highest points in the league as well now.
Brady and Edelman are both on byes this week, and Tannehil is up against the Lions who give up the least fantasy points to QBs =/ So it's probably coming to an end.
Also, I was so close to dropping Harvin, but I thought I would wait and see how he got on at the Jets.
I'll take 13 points :)

This week, both Bueller and jdcarpe have passed the milestone that is 1000 points. A pretty impressive average points per week.
ALSO, pr0ximity has earned his first win of the season, DESTROYING Boost 104 - 76. Dez Bryant bringing in a whopping 27.80 points.

Yeah, I took the jump a bit early. Thought he might get signed by someone, but it looks like nobody is going to risk it so close to it all emerging.
It's way late in the season, too. Competitive teams all have strong RB squads and non-competitive teams aren't going to get him to suit up for 3 unimportant games.

Yeah, it was really strange. But I guess when you only have 4 people getting to choose between every player in the league, you are going to have something like that. He did manage to get 140 points in the championship game though, which seemed a bit strange after having only 2 wins the entire season.

Looking forward to this season! We just need to pick the draft date far enough in advance so I can take the day off work!
Right now it shows Aug 28th, iirc.
I picked it as Aug 28th because that's the weekend I'm at the 24/7 LAN haha. But we can change it. It fell in well last year around that time because we had to keep pushing back because we didn't have a full league.
Does anyone else think it would be cool to do an entry fee so that we could pay for some sweet, sweet prizes? I've been doing fantasy the last couple of years and the leagues with something to lose have been far more engaged.

I think we can do it on the official NFL site. I have a bit more time to look this time, so I will.
And we can always make it bigger if we get more interest. Maybe I should start a new thread...
Also, I'm still up for doing a "The League" style weekly video. It may involve a bit more trash talking than some of you are comfortable with... So yeah. Maybe not :P

Out of the 10 people in the League now, PLEASE TELL ME IF YOU WISH TO STAY OR LEAVE THE LEAGUE. I will basically leave it for a month or so for everyone to let me know in this thread, then I can add or remove people. When we have a good idea how many people we have in the League, I can make another thread.
So, current list of participants (until informed otherwise)
- Me
- Absyrd
- Bueller
- Boost
- TJ Caustin
- Hoff
- hwood
- Signature
- pr0ximity
- JD Carpe

Signature is out. Therefore team 12 is out and we are down to a 10 man league again. I will wait on the other 2 replies, then we will see if we get to stay a 10 man or drop to an 8 man.
Story is also updated.

Well there is an option to do a blanket scoring change from NFL standard to PPR, and other types, but I think I did some custom settings last season, and this is where we are right now:Show Image(http://i.imgur.com/ty45ICF.png)
Can you do different scoring for each team? I'd like my team to get more points for each category pls.

It's probably a bit difficult with int'l players, but it'd be cool if we could do some kind of silly prize for the games. A couple of my old leagues did where the loser would send the winner a regional snack pack. Like cheese and summer sausage when I beat hoof, ribs and fajitas when I take jd down. That kind of stuff.
That would be cool. Not sure how financially invested people would want to be in it, but I would definitely be up for it.

I'm not a fan of the negative scoring, but maybe that's just me. For instance, say I'm playing someone and I have a running back on the team that my opponent's defense is playing that day. If my running back fumbles the ball, and their defense recovers, that is a net 4 point gain for my opponent, almost as much as scoring a touchdown.I mean then people would have no problem picking up fumble prone running backs since there's near no risk in it (except for a few lost yards by the drive being cut short)

I think negative points are good for punishing the worst offences. That's why I added it for missed FGs of 0-19 yards, and it's on all turnovers, and really weak defences.
I understand the worry about the swing like that, but all the negative points are on things that are a pretty big deal.
We can get rid of them if people want, but I think they are good.

Sweet. I've changed the draft date for Sunday at Midday EDT.
AAnd Trees, the spots are currently full, but I can up it to a 12 man league again for the moment, and hope we get a 12th person. However, if we get to like, Friday and we haven't got another person to fill the 12th hole, I will have to take you out of the league, just because we can't draft unless the league is full, and just so it's fair on a first come-first serve sort of thing, if that's alright with you? I've changed the link in the OP to the right one so you shouldn't get any errors.

+ a bunch of other FA losses.
**** this offseason.
From superbowl to bottom of their division in two seasons? Possibly? That's not a good off season at all.
I'm thinking somewhere between 5-9 and 8-8, any better than that and I'll be very impressed. Luckily our roster has always been super deep on the defensive side of the ball and a lot of our pro-bowlers were out for last season anyway so it might not be as bad as I'm thinking. Definitely need some of our rookies to step up, apparently Arik "T Rex" Armstead has been impressing team mates so I have high hopes for him.
Edit: Here's an excerpt from yesterday's practice about Armstead.
"Perhaps the most powerful bull-rusher on the defensive line. Almost every time he participates in one-on-one pass-rushing drills, he gets his hands under the offensive lineman's pads and pushes him back about 10 yards."
Oh yeah, that makes me moist.

I am definitely going to watch the game tonight. Could be some big signs as to who to draft. HOPEFULLY AP is playing tonight. We can see if he's still got it.
Post by: hwood34 on Sun, 09 August 2015, 21:02:38
God ****ing dammit. Aldon Smith got another DUI, released from the 9ers and he's probably going to jail seeing as this is his 3rd offense. Let's see how this offseason has gone for the team.
Jim Harbaugh - Head Coach (Fired)
Vic Fangio - Defensive Co-ordinator (Fired)
Frank Gore - RB (Free agency to Colts)
Patrick Willis - LB (Retired)
Justin Smith - DE (Retired)
Chris Borland - LB (Retired)
Aldon Smith - LB (Released)
+ a bunch of other FA losses.
**** this offseason.
If they had a QB the niner's losses this season would make a pretty solid expansion team
Post by: katushkin on Sun, 16 August 2015, 05:05:04
We are now only two weeks away from the draft, so if you haven't already, it's probably a good idea to start thinking about your first picks :P
I spoke to a friend of mine the other day, and he says he goes for his #1 QB with his first pick :eek: Don't know about that, but it might shake things up if someone wants to make sure they get the QB they want *cough* HOFF *cough* and will settle for a lower ranked RB. But then you have to wonder how far behind you will get.
Also, should I start a new thread or carry on with this one?

I pkayed with a guy at work who always went QG 1st pick. I think that's foolish if youre in the top ~5 draft slots, but after that it can be tenpting to grab a top QB over a 5-10th RB.

I definitely think everyone should draft a QB in the first two rounds. Cos reasons.

I think it's a silly idea.
However, if you are quick off the bat to pick a QB, you will no doubt be the first to pick a backup.
Tom Brady is ranked 11th out of all the QBs on projected fantasy points. Although that is WITH him playing the first 3 weeks. I'm guessing if they upheld his ban he would be out until week six?? Nutsoooo

Yeah, I'm really not rating Eli Manning anymore, but you did steal Teddy as my backup. You do have a good shot though, AD and Cobb are two pretty awesome selections.

Yeah I'll probably roll with Teddy as my QB1 and keep Eli for bye weeks till I can pick up someone else on waivers. Eli is just too damn inconsistent for my liking, one week he's awesome and then next week he's a pick machine.

I would like to formally announce my team's bloody and unending rivalry with the so-called "SF Forty Minors". Just a few days ago, we were amicable opponents; demik opted to ruin that joyous friendship in favor of auto-drafting my sweet, sweet Rodgers. It is this act that has prompted the rivalry that will destory mr. demik. He will regret the day he ever chose to sleep in and miss the draft. He will regret turning against me in this most awesome of tournaments. He will regret everything.
Thank you for your input.

I would like to formally announce my team's bloody and unending rivalry with the so-called "SF Forty Minors". Just a few days ago, we were amicable opponents; demik opted to ruin that joyous friendship in favor of auto-drafting my sweet, sweet Rodgers. It is this act that has prompted the rivalry that will destory mr. demik. He will regret the day he ever chose to sleep in and miss the draft. He will regret turning against me in this most awesome of tournaments. He will regret everything.
Thank you for your input.

:p
I've been going through all the teams and getting the rankings for each player by position, I'll post a big list later on because I'm a huge nerd who loves stats. Bout 2/3 of the way through now.
Post by: trees on Mon, 31 August 2015, 08:49:32
Anyways, I'm not too upset about my team. I got 3 of my top choices for their positions (Wilson, Texans D, Gronkowski).
And im not projected to finish last! Surprising considering this is my first fantasy :p

You know what you're right. These ranks are really weird when you compare them against the projections for the season and week 1 even. What does the rank say for the Eagles when you click on them?

They are ranked 5th in projected points on NFL.com. And last year they scored the most points of any defence.

Only sure guy I wanted was Luck because he has so many weapons. Gambled on everyone else. In past seasons my first pick was always Peyton and he carried me to playoffs many times.

I was VERY surprised that you picked Peyton in the first round. Especially seeing as he was the first QB taken.

Yes, for sure. Injuries are a big part, because for some reason Arian Foster is still predicted like 16 points for me even though he's out for a month. Just click the report card next to their name on the "Your Team" section and see latest news on each of your players.

Can't decide whether to start Martellus Bennett or Jordan Cameron at TE. All the sites say Bennett but Cameron seems like such a sweet pick playing against Washington.
Everybody is a sweet pick vs Washington. Pew

I too am very excited. I am watching Gameday Morning and getting super hype :D

A couple of surprises this week for sure. Trees being let down badly by the Texans defence is the one that comes to mind other than Alex Smith.
And the Houff done good this week. Unfortunately for the Redskins anyway... Like they say, you should probably start the QB who is playing the Redskins. Just like you should start RBs that play the Colts it would seem.

God the Texans, Why you gotta play me like that. My whole team in general greatly under preformed earning less than half the projected numbers. Wilson got beat out by Foles my bench QB. Gore got less points than all of my other RBs.

I was very wrong to put faith in Peyton Manning, it seems. We shall see what the rest of the season holds, but it's looking like Mariota for me for now, at least. And I absolutely got screwed by the incompetent Eli Manning with his instruction to Rashad Jennings not to score when they had the opportunity. What an idiot! The guy isn't even on my fantasy team, and he blew it for me! Looks like my luck with anyone named Manning is going to be terrible.
But at least my 'Boys won! How 'bout them Cowboys!

WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY
Post by: katushkin on Wed, 16 September 2015, 05:44:57
Week one is over. We have our winners and losers. I have also decided to give out some awards this season, and if you would like to think of
ones that we could give out, that would be much appreciated. To get us going I have come up with three.
The first award is for Hottest Bench Warmer. This week it goes to pr0ximity for keeping Tom Brady on the bench. Whether it was his love
of Southern, denim wearing gunslingers, or his unwavering faith towards Roger Goodell, the 11.21 points that Brady scored over Drew Brees would have won him his week one matchup against Hoff. He also left Danny Woodhead on the bench, who scored more than his two starting RBs combined...
The second award will go to the Unluckiest Team which this week was Trees. The stomping from The Paul Blort Meme Cops came due to some very poor performances across the board. The Texans were all fingers and thumbs, with the defence doing poorly, and Alfred Blue scoring less than 5 points. The Colts running game stalled as well and Frank Gore only managed 31 yards all game. He had no chance against the Legion of Boom, Jamaal Charles and Matt Ryan.
As for the Luckiest Team award, that is going to Boost. Mike Evans was a game time decision who was placed on IR instead of taking
part in the loss to the Titans, and Sammy Watkins couldn't catch a pass to save his life. However, mammoth performances from Phillip Rivers, Matt Forte and Carlos Hyde, who put up a combined 77 points between them, meant that he beat R1N3's 4th and 45g LUBED by less than 6 points.
Now for the week's other matchups.
My Keycool Kats have started the week off with a bang after beating Absyrd's ALPSholes 93-83. Big Ben got the Kats off to a good start against the Patriots, and number one pick Eddie Lacy put up a solid 16 points to bring them up to 75 points at the end of Sunday night. Even the combined 32 points from absyrd's Giants team of their defence and kicker Josh Brown couldn't make up for a poor performance from Greg Olsen and Odell Beckham, and Darren Sproles put the matchup out of reach with 12.6 points against the Falcons.
Things are not looking good for bueller, after only his defence managed to get into double points this week. With his star players all falling well short of predicted numbers, there was little chance he could compete against demik's Auto-drafted Allstars (now there's a team name) what with A-Rod and Gronk scoring well over 20 points each. Even backup Teddy Bridgewater couldn't score a decent amount of points, as the options for bueller are looking thin. Maybe the pickup of James Jones from the Packers (you bastard) can help him win his matchup next week against me (no chance)!
The closest game this week was between TJ and JD, with the lead changing hands three times on Monday night. The night began with TJ trailing 70.8-82.2 after great showings from Chris Ivory and Travis Kelce. However, with a runaway performance by Julio Jones and ten points from Jordan Matthews pushed him past JD. Old man Peyton seems to be staying a season too long, and maybe the rookie Marcus Mariota is a better start next week for JD, and the NFL.com score predictions put him ahead by just 1.12 points.
Injury reports for this week include Desean Jackson from the Redskins, and Dez Bryant from the Cowboys. Both equally important injuries for both teams, although DJax is probably going to be back in action sooner than Bryant and his broken foot.

Nah, i think i should be alright this week. Making a few lineup changes. Getting some rookies out there who are estimated to put out some better numbers this week. Currently im projected to beat out Proximity by ~10 points.

Who was your 'break out player' this week?
Any Benched heartbreaks?
Any players not do as well as you expected?
My break out this week was my flex spot Allen Robinson. I watched a chunk of this game and it was clear he was one of the favorite passing targets, i know hes not going to always put up such crazy numbers but it was damn fun to watch.
Depending on how Gore does this week, I missed out on 14 points from RB Giovani Bernard, who was only projected to get around 3 pts.
And for me, once again this week the Texans defense got hammered on Only getting 4 points. Only other person I was hoping would take more charge was Agholor, but the eagles didnt have a great game in general.

I missed this, but I like it.
My breakout player was a tie between Steve Smith and Big Ben. Who are both tied for the same point when it comes to bench heartbreakers.
Alex smith, Jimmy Graham and Eddie Lacy all did worse than expected. And Darren Sproles. And Joique Bell. Everyone other than Eric and Justin Tucker.
Post by: katushkin on Tue, 22 September 2015, 18:45:09
Luckiest team. Initially I wanted to give it to Boost again. Both Mike Evans and Coby Fleener scored zero points. Carlos Hydea also only scored a distinctly average 6.1 points. However, 12 points from Sammy Watkins and an outstanding showing from the Cardinals defence resulted in a three point victory over Absyrd.
However, looking at Hoff's matchup with R1N3, it was clear that everybody's favourite mod was equally lucky in his matchup this week. Andre Ellington was carted off injured against the Bears and scored zilch. Jeff Hill had 41 combined yards against the Chargers, but lost two fumbles, meaning he only scored 0.1 point. But, to the rescue came Ryan Tannehill, Antonio Brown and the Patriots defence, and he ended up ahead by over 20 points. So I think I will award it to Hoff this week.
Unluckiest team. Of course I would like to give it to myself. Eddie Lacy. Pulled for a suspected sprained ankle. Joique Bell. Only 18 combined yards. Alshon Jeffery. Game time decision that went the wrong way. Jimmy Graham. Just 11 receiving yards. Twenty eight TEs have more receiving yards than Jimmy so far this season. And then Darren Sproles. -4 rushing yards. 23 receiving yards. Those five players combined for 4.7 points. FOUR POINT SEVEN.
However, I'm not going to give myself the award unless you guys think I am deserving of it, so I have come up with another contender. And that is pr0ximity. Even with a negative point score from Keenan Allen, and poor showings from CJ Anderson and Eddie Royal, Tom Brady threw for 466 yards, and 3 TDs, racking up 33.24 points passing Big Ben for points scored, and Danny Woodhead had a decent game against the Bengals as well. But even that wasn't good enough to beat Trees massive scores from Allen Robinson and Julian Edelman. He ended up losing by almost 56 points.
In the last two matchups, Hwood carried on his dominance with a 121-76 win over JD. Only two of his players didn't score double points, and with the Broncos defence scoring 27 and Matt Ryan scoring 18, his victors was never in doubt. He now heads the table on points scored, overtaking Hoff by 11 points.
In the final matchup, Demik and TJ faced off. Naturally, the duo of A Rod and Gronk gave TJ no realistic chance, especially with Larry Fitzgerald getting over 29 points with 3 TDs against the Bears. With zero points coming from the Ravens defence, and only 62 combined yards from Marshawn Lynch, TJ lost by just over 23 points.
This week means that R1N3, absyrd, JD and pr0ximity fall to 0-2. Hwood, Hoff, Demik and Boost are all undefeated, and Hwood leads the field.

Currently we have a situation where the waiver priority resets every week depending on league standings. These also change when you get a target on the waiver wire, and you drop to the bottom of the pile. However, in the new proposed rules, the waiver priority would not reset every week, and you would only drop down when you take a player.
I can see the pros and cons for both, but I would like to know what the rest of the league thinks before I make any changes. I am reluctant to make changes in the middle of a season as well, but I don't mind it too much.

I'm used to Yahoo standards which are the latter of what you described. I understand why the NFL FFL resets them every week... you give the people who feel beat down the most some instant gratification with getting first pick on waivers. Problem is that it is very short-sighted. We're playing the long-game here.

My luck is **** this season. My two "top tier" WR this past week scored exactly 0.00 points combined.
Post by: katushkin on Wed, 30 September 2015, 15:40:23
Week three. Week three. Another loss for the Redskins, this time against Eli "always throws an INT" Manning and them Giants. The QB row continues in Washington, with people looking at drafting a rookie QB in next year's draft... Boy, I would steer well clear of DC for at least another 5 years if you are a QB, we chew them up and spit them out almost as much as Cleveland.
Anyway. I'm going to start with Hottest Bench Warmer this week which goes to pr0ximity. Keenan Allen was targeted 18 times by Phillip Rivers in week three, catching 12 of those for 133 yards and 2TDs, netting him a very, very decent 25.3 points. However, with another fantastic performance from Rishard Matthews scoring ANOTHER 2 TDs, and of course the unstoppable force that is Tom Brady, he didn't even need Allen's points, as he managed to beat the now only win-less team in the league, Carpe Victoriam, 94-79.
A grand total of six teams had players in their starting nine who scored zero points. The unluckiest of those teams was actually JD who had two WRs score zero points. He was actually predicted to win over pr0ximity by a whopping 35 points, however the 25 points missed out on by Terrance Williams and Torrey Smith really cost him.
The Luckiest team of the week I would like to say is me. When you watch the highlights during half time in the Falcons-Cowboys game, and you see Darren Sproles run for an 86 yeard punt return for a TD, only to find you benched him for a 2.6 point scoring CJ Spiller, you get pretty pissed off. Combine that with 1.6 points from Anquan Boldin, and 1.8 points from Matt Jones (you swore you would never take a Redskin, now look what happened) you begin to write off yet another week. Especially with your only consistent QB going down with a knee injury for 4 weeks. However, when Steve "he was a **** in preseason" Smith posts 30 points, Jimmy Graham comes back from the dead with 14.3 points, and Eddie Lacy runs for more than 10 yards, you feel seriously lucky. Even the ridiculous 30 points posted by the Cardinals defence couldn't ruin my day. :)
Bueller managed to post what I think was this week's best all round performance. His top six skill positions all scored more than 13 points, and even Robbie Gould (I saw that drop, kickers are people too!) couldn't drag down the rest of the brobots to a loss. 48.2 points on Monday night meant that he sailed up past TJ at the death, and he now lies in 3rd, only behind the Devonta Meme Cop Men, and Demik's Auto-Drafted Allstars.
Speaking of which, we had a serious clash of the titans, with the afore-mentioned top two battling it out. The recap graph shows a really close race on Monday night, with Demik getting within what looks like fractions of a point to overtaking Hwood, but the gap posted up by AJ Green, Jamaal Charles and the shutout by the Seahawks proved too much for Demik to handle, even with a near 35 point showing from Aaron Rodgers (5 TDs!) and the fantastic veteran Larry Fitzgerald posting 25 of his own. Hwood remains on top, carrying over his win streak over from last season he is now on an 8 game win streak? Someone has to beat this guy... Demik moves up to 2nd on points scored.
R1N3 managed to get his first win of the season against Bernie's Ballers. A serious lack of TDs across the board from Trees' team, plus single digit showings from all but three of his lineup (Gostkowski 2 stronk) mean that even with Tyler Eifert scoring nul point, the return of LeVeon Bell spelled good tidings for R1N3 and Jeremy Maclin having a good day too, he moves off the bottom of the table and is our highest climber this week, up five places to 7th.
Our final matchup was between Hoff and Absyrd. Hoff was slightly luckier than Trees, with four of his lineup going into double digits, and four total TDs, but he saw his perfect start to the season halted by a combination of 2 TDs from Greg Olsen and three from Joseph Randle. Overall a great performance from Absyrd's team, with great numbers across the board. I hate the Giants. Not as much as the Cowboys or the Eagles, but still.
Week four is slowly approaching, and with it comes the start of the bye weeks. Remember to get rid of your Patriots and your Titans this week, because as good as Tom Brady and Keenan Allen are, even they can't score any fantasy points stuck at home on the sofa.

However, with another fantastic performance from Rishard Matthews scoring ANOTHER 2 TDs, and of course the unstoppable force that is Tom Brady, he didn't even need Allen's points, as he managed to beat the now only win-less team in the league, Carpe Victoriam, 94-79.
A grand total of six teams had players in their starting nine who scored zero points. The unluckiest of those teams was actually JD who had two WRs score zero points. He was actually predicted to win over pr0ximity by a whopping 35 points, however the 25 points missed out on by Terrance Williams and Torrey Smith really cost him.
The Luckiest team of the week I would like to say is me. When you watch the highlights during half time in the Falcons-Cowboys game, and you see Darren Sproles run for an 86 yeard punt return for a TD, only to find you benched him for a 2.6 point scoring CJ Spiller, you get pretty pissed off. Combine that with 1.6 points from Anquan Boldin, and 1.8 points from Matt Jones (you swore you would never take a Redskin, now look what happened) you begin to write off yet another week. Especially with your only consistent QB going down with a knee injury for 4 weeks. However, when Steve "he was a **** in preseason" Smith posts 30 points, Jimmy Graham comes back from the dead with 14.3 points, and Eddie Lacy runs for more than 10 yards, you feel seriously lucky. Even the ridiculous 30 points posted by the Cardinals defence couldn't ruin my day. :)
Bueller managed to post what I think was this week's best all round performance. His top six skill positions all scored more than 13 points, and even Robbie Gould (I saw that drop, kickers are people too!) couldn't drag down the rest of the brobots to a loss. 48.2 points on Monday night meant that he sailed up past TJ at the death, and he now lies in 3rd, only behind the Devonta Meme Cop Men, and Demik's Auto-Drafted Allstars.
Speaking of which, we had a serious clash of the titans, with the afore-mentioned top two battling it out. The recap graph shows a really close race on Monday night, with Demik getting within what looks like fractions of a point to overtaking Hwood, but the gap posted up by AJ Green, Jamaal Charles and the shutout by the Seahawks proved too much for Demik to handle, even with a near 35 point showing from Aaron Rodgers (5 TDs!) and the fantastic veteran Larry Fitzgerald posting 25 of his own. Hwood remains on top, carrying over his win streak over from last season he is now on an 8 game win streak? Someone has to beat this guy... Demik moves up to 2nd on points scored.
R1N3 managed to get his first win of the season against Bernie's Ballers. A serious lack of TDs across the board from Trees' team, plus single digit showings from all but three of his lineup (Gostkowski 2 stronk) mean that even with Tyler Eifert scoring nul point, the return of LeVeon Bell spelled good tidings for R1N3 and Jeremy Maclin having a good day too, he moves off the bottom of the table and is our highest climber this week, up five places to 7th.
Our final matchup was between Hoff and Absyrd. Hoff was slightly luckier than Trees, with four of his lineup going into double digits, and four total TDs, but he saw his perfect start to the season halted by a combination of 2 TDs from Greg Olsen and three from Joseph Randle. Overall a great performance from Absyrd's team, with great numbers across the board. I hate the Giants. Not as much as the Cowboys or the Eagles, but still.
Week four is slowly approaching, and with it comes the start of the bye weeks. Remember to get rid of your Patriots and your Titans this week, because as good as Tom Brady and Keenan Allen are, even they can't score any fantasy points stuck at home on the sofa.
While my team did pretty bad, I actually was winning by like 4 points, up until Maclin played monday night. If he wouldn't have done so hot it would have been a W over here :P

So, write-up time.
Week three. Week three. Another loss for the Redskins, this time against Eli "always throws an INT" Manning and them Giants. The QB row continues in Washington, with people looking at drafting a rookie QB in next year's draft... Boy, I would steer well clear of DC for at least another 5 years if you are a QB, we chew them up and spit them out almost as much as Cleveland.

Texans defense is definitely the best defense ever /s
How many years of being terrible does it take for a franchise to get good? In all fairness, the Redskins, the Browns, the Raiders and the Texans have all kind of been terrible for a while, but the Raiders are on the up, as are the Browns, but people were saying such great things about the Raiders this year. Even Arian Foster didn't do **** this weekend.

I had points on my bench, but it's hard to start players that are basically game time decisions whether they will even play, and even when they do, score 0.00 points the previous week.
I basically screwed up my draft this year, and I can't seem to recover. I guess I'm in the same boat as several NFL clubs this season. :)

Drew Brees is my new hero. His 400th TD pass came in OT against them awful Cowboys, was an 80 yard stormer to CJ Spiller. Which has basically won me my match up :-X
Hell yeah, denim-duderanch was good for something after all!
Post by: katushkin on Wed, 07 October 2015, 15:41:42
Now we are getting to the bye weeks, i'm going to introduce the Biggest Byeweek Blunder award. This week it will go to Demik. He has been muted for a while, but has also decided to forego his Fantasy team, and managed to leave both of his starting Patriots in his starting lineup. This gave pr0ximity free range over demik's generally low-scoring team, with that great showing from Breesus, Jameis Winston throwing FOUR INTs to the Carolina defence, and two kicks from over 50 yards by Steven Hauschka meant that pr0ximity flies up seven places this week into fourth!
On the subject of four picks, the Hottest Bench Warmer award this week goes to JD Carpe, with Chris Ivory scoring a massive 22.6 points. Unfortunately, with Jameis Winston throwing those four picks, no points from Ryan Matthews (go skins!) and only three players scoring double digits, even those 22 points would not have helped with R1N3 storming through with 112 points in the week. Even though he was let down by Matthew Stafford (and who wasn't this week) the return of LeVeon Bell has done nothing but strengthen his team, and since he has come back , he hasn't lost a game. But even with the win, he actually drops two places to ninth in the league on points scored.
I would say the Unlickiest Team Award would go to JD this week as well, but the [Luckiest Team Award[/b] goes to Hoff. Things weren't looking good when he just missed the lineup deadline by a few minutes and didn't have a kicker in place for the weekend. Antonio Brown also wasn't targeted by Michael Vick anywhere near as much as he should have been, only scoring 4.2 points. Andre Ellington also scored zero putting him in a difficult position. However, Boost suffered similar misfortune, with the Cardinals doing pretty much nothing, all three of his WRs combining for a paltry 6.8 points, and a kicker who has been dropped by his previous team and is now one of three at the Steelers, Hoff took this week's matchup cleanly by 84 points to 66.
Now for our other matchups this week.
The battle between me and TJ was a low scoring, but close contest, with it being finally decided in the final minutes of the Green Bay - San Fran game, and the Sunday night game between the Saints and the ****-Boys. Cam Newton scored more than all 5 WRs and RBs on TJs team, with 16.06. His WRs combined for 12 points, and his two RBs managed just four points between them. Justin Tucker had a monster kicking game against the Steelers, with three long range efforts going over, Dereck Carr being the highest scoring free-agent of the week with 13.84 points (NOT good) and CJ Spiller with that fantastic 80 yard OT TD, the Keycool Kats ran away with it 66 to 44.
Hwood's winning streak continues, as he stormed to yet another 100+ point week over bueller 115-93. Other than week one (where he scored 97) hwood has managed over 100 points every week so far. With no starters in the early game in Wembley this week, hwood started out Sunday afternoon ten points down. However, the combination of Matt Ryan and Devonta Freeman proved themselves once again, and combined for a devastating 47 points. Even with Percy Harvin's poor turn out, and Jordan Reed getting next to nothing against the Eagles, Vincent Jackson and Jamaal Charles picked up the pieces. The icing on the cake was the seven sacks on Teddy Bridgewater that the Broncos managed, and even with Peterson, Martellus Bennett and the unbeatable boot that is Adam Vinatieri, bueller's 93 points were not enough. Next week he plays TJ, let's hope he can put a stop to the win streak.
Our final matchup was between trees and absyrd. Both were 1-2 coming into the week, in the lower half of the table, a win was important. Good starts from Allen Robinson and Giovani Bernard were no match for the starts of Amari Cooper and TJ Yeldon, and by 4pm on Sunday, absyrd was already 25 points ahead. Even decent performances from Karlos Williams and Monday night's Russell Wilson couldn't claw victory from the jaws of defeat, especially when you have a really under-performing defence, and no kicker. Trees drops down to 11th place, and sbsyrd starts the long crawl up, one place at a time, to 8th.
I will be away next weekend, so no football for me. I will be in Amsterdam so probably unable to check my fantasy progress, and I'm also away until Wednesday, so the recap probably won't happen until at least then. Good luck everyone for this next week, and don't forget to check your byes and injury reports!

Post by: katushkin on Thu, 15 October 2015, 13:11:42
That match was between myself and Hwood. It was generally a close fought affair. The only time Hwood would start Jay Cutler would be when Ryan Tannehill was on a bye, and that week was this week. Fortunately he didn't let Hoff down as much as he lets the bears down normally, and the 17.5 points were very well received, especially as it was one of only three players in the Hoff Measures who scored double points. A fantastic 169 receiving yards from DeAndre Hopkins kept him on a nice consistent three weeks of scoring, and a very respectable 12.3 points from Andre Ellington put them in a good position, but it wasn't enough to compensate for the no-score of Blair Walsh on a bye, and the pretty much no-score of Charles Clay. Combine that with the continued poor run of form from Antonio Brown, and Hoff is not being able to catch a good break this season. Due to my partial absence, I managed to leave the injured Alshonb Jeffries in, but Anquan Boldin decided to step up, and with the Saints offence still leaking turnovers, and Arian Foster being well and truly back, the three of them more than made up for the still poor form of Jimmy Graham and the pocket rocket that is Darren Sproles.
Next up was the matchup between the Devonta Freemen of Hwood and TJ's HHKBrowns. This is our matchup where I will award the Luckiest Team Award to Hwood, due to three turnovers from Matt Ryan, negative points from Percy Harvin, and of course the really bad injury to Jamaal Charles being more than made up for by (yet again) Devonta Freeman, a fantastic comeback weekend from Antonio Gates, and a big, big week from the Broncos defence, who are still carrying Peyton Manning to victory. A total of 73 points from three positions meant that even a fantastic four passing TDs from Blake Bortles couldn't make up fro the Ravens scoring zero, and only ten points from his bottom three positions. At the end of Monday night, the points gap was 33 points, and Hwood's winning streak continues to 5 for the season and twelve if you include his season ending run from last year.
The third matchup of the week was between Boost and Trees, and our [Unluckiest Team Award[/b] goes to Boost. The realm of the Tight Ends seems to be very touch and go, and with Andrew Luck still out last week, Coby Fleener only managed nice yards total, and the rest of Boost's receiving core only managed 10.8 points between them. He also managed to leave a huge 40 points on the bench across three players. Although one was Carson Palmer who scored less than Phillip Rivers, the others were two target, two reception, two TD Jaelen Strong of the Texans, and the other was the very up and down Isaiah Crowell. Trees team really did step up, with Julian Edelman scoring 18 points, Allen Robinson scoring 19.2, and the always awesome Steven Gostkowski nailing six kicks to give trees an unassailable 113 points by the end of Sunday, for which Boost had no comeback.
Unfortunately for Bueller, he is the winner of this week's Hottest Bench Warmer Award. Fortunately for him, the 33 points that Eli Manning managed to rack up (441 passing yards, 3TDs, but of course a pick) were not needed, with Tyrod Taylor's continued run of good form netting a very respectable 22 points, James Jones doing well against the Rams, and of course the Falcons doing well against a 2nd half capitulation from the Redskins and nabbing that OT pick 6. Pr0ximity only managed to have two positions score in double figures. Of course Tom Brady scored highly with zero INTs, 3 combined TDs, and the Titans managed four sacks against the Bills, did nothing to make up for only 36 points combined from his other seven positions. Jason Witten's terrible run of form continues, and Ameer Absullah's stock is still plummeting with only half a point. His bench couldn't have done much to help him in hindsight, with the only respectable points coming from Drew Brees. Bueller managed to create his lead by the end of Sunday, and Pr0ximity could only cut that down to 27 points by the end of Monday.
Our penultimate matchup was between JD and Absyrd, and JD's awful luck continues, as he still remains the only team without a win this season. Marcus Mariota's distinctly average season continues, with only ten points to his name. The Lions continue to be terrible, and they managed to be as watertight as a fishing net in their game against the Cardinals, letting 42 points go by, and only managing two sacks meaning that they scored negative one point. He did leave 50 points in skill positions on the bench however, in Ryan Matthews, DeMarco Murray (never lose faith) and Allen Hurns. I think I too would have got sick of Murray's performances and benched him, but that is just the luck of the draw, and I can just see JD banging his head repeatedly on his desk when he saw his lineup at the end of Monday night. He actually ended up ahead of Absyrd before the start of the Sunday night game between the Giants and the 49ers, but OBJ was back in good form, and Josh Brown also managed to score double digits, meaning Absyrd sailed ahead and ended with a massive 41 point win. JD is actually predicted to win by over 40 points against Boost this coming week, but as he no doubt knows by now, anything could happen.
Finally, we had Demik and R1N3 come together in a really high scoring matchup between two of the three highest scoring teams in the league. The up and downs of Tight Ends has been kind to R1N3 these last couple of weeks, and it seems to have reached it's peak this week with Tyler Eifert scoring a Gronk-like 21 points. Which was different to Gronk himself who actually only managed 6.7 points this week for Demik. Is this the turning point for the Ptriots? Has the unstoppable force of the Patriots started to slow down? We shall see. Doug Martin only scored 4.6 points in week 3. However, R1N3 has stuck with him, and he has managed a fantastic 54.1 points these last two weeks, with over 300 combined yards and four TDs. His near 34 points this week blew away Demik's comparable positions, and combined with two INTs from A-Rod showing that he is, indeed, human, and only 10 points coming from his two RBs, even four INTs from the Packers defence and a real change in form from Andre Johnson couldn't stop Demik falling to his third loss in a row. Even managing a score most others would be jealous of, R1N3 is now on a three week win streak, and he has managed to score over a hundred points in his last two, with 96 scored in week 3. He is also now up into the top five, while demik falls to 9th.

At least he can't rely on racking up points from his Broncos defense and kicker this week. That should help pr0ximity. But still, it's going to take some real luck to knock hwood off the top spot.

Well, holy crap. I finally won one.
Here's hoping I can crush that win streak this coming weekend. >:D
Like you need another win, 4-2.

We need to wait for the Falcons bye week before he stands a chance at losing.

We actually had a lot of close games last week, and two matchups changed leaders during MNF.
I honestly thought this week was the week. The week Hwood's streak would come to an end. However, like JD did with Dez Bryant last week, I was pissed off with Jimmy Graham and left him on the bench. Turns out I should have done that with Eddie Lacy instead. I also managed to leave my two highest scoring receivers on the bench in Alshon Jeffries and Steve Smith Snr. Devonta Freeman didn't have a particularly fantastic game against the Saints (by his standards anyway) and I though I had a chance until I ended up at the end of Sunday 50 points down, and realized I only had the Eagles D and Zach Ertz to rely on. Even with those three turnovers (one for six) and three sacks (thanks Eli), I had no chance in catching up to yet another 100< score posted by the Free Men.
Week 10. The Falcons have their bye week ten. Boost, the fate of the world rests in your hands in three weeks time.
Moving swiftly on, Hoff and Trees had one of the closest matches of the week, with just 5.14 points separating them by the time the teams walked off the pitch on Sunday night. Both sides had solid performances by their kickers, and pretty bad performances from their defences that faced each other in week six. I have absolutely no idea how the defensive scoring works. Trees skill positions generally did pretty well, with only Arizona's David Johnson posting a poor score of 1.7. Hoff had multiple below average performances from Andre Ellington (5.4) and Antonio Brown (2.4!) and Charles Clay's rollercoaster continues with 6.2 points. However, decent double digit scores from Jeremy Hill and Donte Moncrief (who?) and 2TDs and 140 yards from DeAndre Hopkins made it very hard for Trees to reply. Colin Kaepernick racked up a very respectable 22.6 points and didn't thrown an INT against the Ravens, and the 38 points from Giovanni Bernard, Julian Edelman and Allen Robinson weren't enough. If only the Colts had given Frank Gore the ball more often...
Fortunately for pr0ximity, him leaving Jason Witten in his lineup was cancelled out by TJ leaving Desean Jackson in his lineup. Although Heath Miller wouldn't have made the result any more comfortable for Pr0ximity as he only scored 0.5 points... Tom Brady and Blake Bortles were on a par with each other (never thought I would type that) because somehow 37 rushing yards cancels out two INTs o.O. The RB cores from both sides scored within 0.1 points of each other, and the remaining skill positions scored within 2.4 points of each other, with TJ coming out on top. So without kickers and defences, TJ was actually three points ahead. Steve Hauschka just shows how important kickers can be, nailing three FGs, one from 54 yards, where Kansas City's Cairo Santos had one FG blocked, and one from 66 yards just wasn't going to happen. Although that UCLA kicker probably could have nailed it... As the dust settled, the gap was 8.24 points, and TJ slipped to his fifth loss in a row.
Our first MNF decider was between Boost and JD. Boost had a truly explosive early Sunday afternoon. Phillip Rivers threw for a whopping 503 yards, (400+ passing yards nets you an extra 5 points it would seem) although the Chargers only managed 20 points and they lost to Green Bay. Matt Forte had a great game, as did Megatron, of course. Hell, even with a bad ankle, Sammy Watkins managed double digits. It almost looked like JD was going to stumble again, even with the gaping holes that seem to grace Boost's lineup, now with a permanently bye-week'd kicker, a very holey Cardinals defence and a TE who surprises you with a TD once every six weeks. To make matters worse, Marcus Mariota had his worst week to date, with just 219 passing yards, as well as four turnovers. The Lions defence also coughed up 34 points and only managed to sack Jay Cutler once. ONCE. I COULD SACK JAY CUTLER MORE THAN ONCE. With only four points coming from his QB, the rest of the pack had to step up. Fortunately for JD, his RB pair did good this week, with a very respectable 44.2 points, his faith in DeMarco Murray finally paying off with a great performance on Monday Night against the Giants. The smooth mover Robbie Gould also managed a decent 14 points, and even Emmanuel Sanders turned up this week. The final score betrays how close JD came to another loss, but I'm sure a score of 105.56 is nothing for JD to sniff at. That streak tho.
(http://i.imgur.com/Q1AEjSl.png)
The Unluckiest Team and The Hottest Benchwarmers are on opposite sides of the same matchup this week. R1N3 left Matt Stafford on the bench this week in favour of Sam Bradford (I always get the two mixed up tbh) but Matt managed a cool 405 yards, four TDs and only one INT, earning him those extra 5 fantasy points as well. With Sam Bradford having a pretty hellish game against the Giants (god that game was SO awful) it looked like Bueller had a chance to extend his winning streak. Unfortunately, the poor run of form by Peyton Manning, and only Brandon Marshall managing double digits meant that a sorry 65 points was all Bueller managed. R1N3 really didn't fare any better, with only two positions managing double digits. And when the Vikings defence are your second highest scoring team member, you know you've had a bad week. The whole matchup is just quite painful to look at. I would say that Bueller gets the unluckiest team, because he had AD, James Jones AND Randall Cobb, scoring just 13.5 points between them. That and the face that he couldn't capitalize on the loss of Matthew Bradford. I mean Sam Stafford. Uhhh...
If absyrd can take one good thing away from MNF this week, it's that the points his Giants didn't score on the pitch were turned into Fantasy points and earned him the win this week against Demik. The award for Luckiest Team goes to absyrd this week, because he managed the win with four positions scoring one point or less. ONE POINT. The faith in the Giants is real, with five of his positions filled with the men from Metlife, only two of them scored more than one point. The defence (like I said, how the **** does the defensive scoring system work?) and the ever humble OBJ. Martavis Bryant came off his suspension to have the game Antonio Brown should have had, with 2TDs and 145 combined yards, while Andy Dalton (who thought the Bengals would be undefeated six weeks in?) continued his good run of form with 243 yards and 3TDs. On the other side of the board, Demik had an equally disappointing weekend, with three of his skill positions scoring less than five points, not counting his kicker on a bye week. Gronk looks like he is starting to come out of his slump, with a double digit score for the first time since week three, LeGarrette Blount managed 100 combined yards and 2 combined TDs, but Larry Fitzgerald is still in a bit of a hole with another below average performance for a man of his stature and expertise. The gap ended up being only 11 points, but it shows that even the big names struggle from time to time.
If there is one thing to take away from this, it's that Kickers are a seriously big part of a fantasy lineup. The good ones score more than TEs, routinely every week. Well. We are already a game into week one, and hwood is already 15 points up and the Legion of Boom seem to be back...

This week man... I went into the Colts pats game, only down by 30 points. and with Gore, Edelman and Gostkowski left. I was feeling so damn confident.
I was doing great, for a while, but Moncrief just stepped up too much. and Edelman and gostkowski both having a game on the low end of their usual points production just brought me down. (Im not even going to dicuss the bills. or defense in general. grr.)
But good game to Hoff, one of my favorite to watch so far.

Yes, because their ranks matter when they're rotting on a bench. The bench, I might add, of a 2 - 4 team.
And let's talk about that for a second. I couldn't care less what his beef with that kid is. What I do care about is trying to make myself competitive for the end of the season and even with that trade, I'm not sure I have the time left to make a playoff run, let alone spoil hwood's apparent repeat.
But hey, you're the commissioner that gave real thought to changing the waiver rules so hwood could get a higher priority only a week ago, so I guess I shouldn't be surprised to see you hold bias to his whims again.
Post by: katushkin on Mon, 26 October 2015, 11:49:40
Demik is only 2-4 because he hasn't been paying attention for the last four weeks. He's left people on byes and people injured on his starting lineup more than once. You can't be surprised that when a trade containing Gronk, Fitzgerald and Rodgers comes under some scrutiny, especially when you trade TE, WR, QB, RB for 3xWRs and an injured TE. Demik's season is essentially over after this trade.
If you really want me to leave it be, then fine. Everyone else can vote against the trade in the team window over the next 36 hours. If it goes through, it goes through. If enough people vote against it, then it will be stopped. To suggest I'm catering for one person's requests is ridiculous. I want hwood to win as much as anyone else does. The "hwood is a ****" team name and the post on the league wall doesn't do any favours to disguise demik's true intentions. If you think it's fine, then that's cool too.

Of course their ranks matter. The only reason A-Rod was on the bench is because he was on a bye. Gronk wasn't on the bench, and after this trade Demik has no TE because the one you are trading him is out for 2-3 weeks. Fitzgerald isn't on the bench. He missed practise because he's a veteran. Todd Gurley is on the bench. But he scored 28 points last week.

Look again. He hasn't played A-Rod all season, not because he was on bye this one week. Gurley's only had 2 ok games and has had a permanent spot on the bench with A-Rod, which means the only two of the four I have trades in for he's played are gronk and Fitzgerald. If the concern is about where that leaves demik, that's fine, I can adjust what I offered. But really, demik's season's been over since he decided to go down in flames on gh, not because of this trade.
Like I said, I couldn't care less what demik's intentions are. If I cared about the issues I or anyone else has with anyone in the league, I wouldn't have signed up season one, let alone stayed in. What I do care about trying to take a 1- 5 participation trophy team and turning it back into the competitor I had last year.
As a side note: I shouldn't have claimed bias. I was hot because I saw this as an indictment against me doing what I could to try to win, but it's not an excuse to fling insults.

Voted against. Sorry. Id Demik wants to quit, then let him spread his stars around. Not just dump them all on one person to plow ahead for the rest of the weeks.
That'd be great. If he'd communicate with anyone else in the league that is. Really, I'm only interested in keeping Gurley and Gronk from that trade anyways and had the other two for later trade purposes.
I'm sure hoof would like to finish the season with his main man back under center and there's at least one person looking for a WR that can use Fitz, but will that happen without this trade going through? Can it? These are legit questions since I don't know if a team can be dissolved completely and the players redistributed halfway through the season, I promise I'm not trying to be obstinate.

Yeah, there are a few of us in the basement who could use some top players, but we don't get offered a trade. :(
Maybe demik could just drop his players for some nobodies in the waivers, and then anyone could pick them up when the time comes.

Anything's better than them being locked away, but they all require demik not being demik to put it bluntly.

It's alright. I don't want you to take it personally, and I'm not trying to cater for others needs over anyone else. I understand the frustration and the affront. I wish that demik had gotten more into this with us, as maybe it would have meant he could have been a bit more active. That and the banter always is that little bit better when he is involved. As much as I would have wanted Demik to split the top picks in his team, better you than hwood ;)
Anyway, I won't touch the trade with my commish abilities. I will leave it to the league to decide. I won't vote in the veto either to make it fair as I'm still not sure quite how my powers work.

I know these updates are getting later and later in the week, and it feels like I should probably do them on Tuesday and not Thursday, so that's what I will do next week. I am moving house in the next two weeks, I want to say for sure, but I think it will actually happen this time. So if it is I may be without internet for a while from either next weekend or the weekend after. SO I probably wont be able to get on GH during that time. Who knows. I will let you know.
Anyway. Week seven. Holyyyy ****. Records all over the place. Who knew Ryan Tannehill could throw so much?? The Dolphins had five TDs before the Texans had five yards. Tannehill completed his first 18 throws and threw four TDs in 16 minutes. And Captain Kirk with that serious comeback...
(http://larrybrownsports.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/kirk-cousins-you-like-that-shirt.jpg)
And in the Fantasy League? Pr0ximity is our lord and saviour, as he managed to beat The Unluckiest Team hwood in an incredible tense game, where neither side could have done anything more to get any more points with the players they had, and it ended with just 0.06 points between them. Just one more yard for Hwood, and he would have won. He had no additional points on his bench, even if he had an extra slot (which it has felt like he has the last few weeks with the points he's stacked up) but the blow out performances from Freeman and Matt Ryan seem to have come to an end, and even with that incredible performance by the Dolphins' Lamar Miller (236 combined yards!) and just three points allowed by the Seahawks defence, 112.6 points was not as comfortable as it looks like on paper... Not to be left out, Pr0ximity got in on the Dolphins points scoring with his flex position, with Rishard Matthew scoring a very useful 13.5 points. I have noticed that the Chargers love their short RBs. Darren Sproles for a while, and now Danny Woodhead. Woodhead is putting up a lot of good points, and this week was his best so far, with a hundred combined yards and two TDs giving him 22.1 points. Brady of course had a day, with no INTs, three TDs and 355 yards. At 4pm, he was only on 50 points, while hwood was on 100. The following games say him really close the gap, and Jonathan Stewart from the Panthers was the one who too pr0ximity over and above hwood's points total in the Sunday night game.
Hwood is still top of the league, but this loss ends his 11(or was it 12?) game unbeaten streak continuing on from the end of last season. Which is a pretty impressive achievement.
I think I am probably The Luckiest Team this week, as I only managed to have two positions score double digits, and I still managed to beat the very unfortunate Trees 82-62. All my skill positions managed two TDs between them. Both going to Arian Foster. Teddy Bridgewater had another solid performance covering for Big Ben, punishing the awful Detroit Lions. That's where the good news ended however with Foster picking up a non-contact, season ending achilles injury in the fourth quarter. Pretty glad I only gave up a low round pick for a guy who only gave me four weeks of points. Even if they were pretty good weeks. The rest of the points tallies were really quite depressing on both sides. Allen Robinson managed a decent 15.8 points, and Gostkowski did what he does best and scored more than a TE for Trees, but a terrible game from Malcolm Floyd, an awful day for the Steelers defence, and the only points after 4pm came in the form of 2.4 from David Johnson on Monday night all meant that there was not a lot trees could do to stop me holding on to 2nd place. I have absolutely no idea why I am above absyrd and Hoff, seeing as I have less points scored, but there we go.
JD returned to his losing ways, when he met Hoff and Ryan Tannehill. You would have thought that throwing four TDs, 282 yards and no INTs would get you a bit more than 27.5 points, but it was definitely enough to give Hoff a great start on Sunday. Alfred Morris continued his poor form however, and that big hole of 0.9 points in his RB core must be a little worrying for the man of mystery, but it wasn't enough to worry him this week. However, the fantastic Blair Walsh (look at that smile) scored a brilliant 20 points (WHAT DID I SAY ABOUT KICKERS??), even if he did miss a 39 yard kick and his head coach is disappointed in his performance! He made two 50+ yard kicks! Anywayyyy... The good Vikings fantasy weeks continued for the Vikings on the other side of the ball as well, with Stefon Diggs getting 117 total yards and a TD, but Matt Cassell threw three INTs against the Giants, and even though the Falcons managed a sack and two INTs and only let the Titans score seven they only scored nine points (still no idea how that works). It was a much more respectable points total this week, and he only fell ten points short of Hoff at the end of the weekend.
R1N3's streak of wins came to an end this week as he was beaten by just three points by TJ's HHKBrowns. He also receives the award for {b]Hottest Bench Warmer[/b] this week after leaving T.Y. Hilton on the bench and he managed a huge 27 points. Unfortunately he had chosen to try his luck with Jeremy Maclin, who turned into a game-time decision over a concussion even though he passed the NFL's mandatory concussion tests (weird) and didn't end up participating. He also was not helped by Julius Thomas having yet another bad week and only scoring 0.4 points. I think we are better off removing TEs entirely and just running with two kickers instead... His other positions did their best to make up for those two voids, with the Rams scoring 33 points with 4 sacks, forcing 4 fumbles and an INT, and there was more Miami points to be found with Jarvis Landry's 20.8 points. I think he may still be as confused with the Bradford/Stafford issue, and Sam Bradford was left in his starting lineup against carolina, meaning another 12 missed points. TJ's HHKBrowns performed pretty amazingly across the board. Double digits from everyone other than Willie Snead gave him his third 100+ points total of the season. Looking at his graph of points scored, he was the definition of slow and steady, with points scored at pretty much every broadcast point of the weekend. Ladarius Green scored well, Marshawn Lynch was back to his best with 18 points, and even Darren McFadden had a day with 22 points. With a team performance like that, and the additions of A-Rod, you wonder how many points he can rack up next week!
Now Boost potentially has the best team in the league. Even when he leaves players on a bye in his starting lineup, he still manages a win. Randy Bullock is still without a team after being let go by the Texans (even their new one missed a PAT this weekend) and Chicago had their bye this week meaning that the big scoring Matt Forte was out, but Phillip Rivers continues to throw for big yardage, and Mike Evans had a completely out of character performance due to Vincent Jackson being out, and he grabbed 22.4 points Sammy Watkin's season continues to be disappointing and he didn't play this week even though he travelled all the way to London. Demik however was just pure unlucky with his players this week. The Ravens continue to suck in everything but giving Steve Smith Snr the ball and only scored 2 points for his defensive slot, LeGarette Blount was only on the field for 8 snaps against the Jets and managed -3 yards. Gronk was the only receiver for him that scored a TD, but the big guy's 16.8 points wasn't enough to make up for Rivers big day, and while the two were close in points totals all weekend, Boost overtook Demik on Sunday night and stayed ahead for the remainder of the weekend.
Our last matchup was between absyrd and bueller. Absyrd had decided this week to tone down the amount of Giants he fielded and it really worked wonders. Andrew Luck's results continue to be poor, but his fantasy stock is still good as he threw for over 300 yards and managed three TDs as well, actually managing more fantasy points than the Colts scored against the Saints. The Giants defence managed to put a number in every statistics column (even 20 in the points allowed column) and came up with 22 points (no idea). OBJ didn't fare very well, but Amari Cooper had a great week coming off the Raiders' bye, and even TJ Yeldon, who scored 0 last week, got over 100 yards rushing and scored a TD. Sunday started quite well, with bueller managing to catch absyrd's gains made in London by 4pm, although Eli decided to sleep through the entire game against the Cowboys and only throw for 170 yards and no TDs. At least he didn't throw for an INTs. Absyrd's points scoring then shot up and away from bueller as the Texans still suck, and a great week from this three RBs couldn't make up for them and Eli's shortcomings. Brandon Marshall couldn't get going against the Patriots and Chandler Cantazaro is added to the ever growing list of Kickers who have missed the newly extended PAT.
So week eight is coming up, Jacksonville, Washington, Buffalo and Philadelphia are all on byes this week. Make sure to set those lineups, and look out for trades too I guess...

I actually didn't see the trade until it had gone through, that week was terribly busy for me.
Honestly I would have just hoped that people wouldn't collude against the rest of the us but I guess asking for common decency is a bit much.

It was a relatively low scoring affair across the board this week, with only Bueller scoring over 100 points. However the games in general were relatively close. Meanwhile, in my four man league:
(http://i.imgur.com/qzSv99Z.png)
Ridiculous.
Anyway, the matchup between me and pr0ximity was not looking good for me at the end of Thursday night. Brady continued to break hearts by killing the Dolphins, and Rishard Matthews didn't do too bad either. I knew Big Ben wasn't going to be that good coming back from his time off, especially against the undefeated Bengals, but luckily for me The Hottest Benchwarmer this week goes to pr0ximity. Usually I don't give it out for QBs, but Drew Brees' (yes pr0x has Brady AND Brees on his team) record tying seven TDs and 505 yards gave him initially over 50 points. However the NFL statisticians have decided that he actually threw two INTs not one, so he finished with only 49.3 points. Which would have given pr0ximity the win. As it was, JUSTIN TUCKER was the second highest scoring player on my team, with five field goals, and two PATs, beaten only by Alshon Jeffrey. Eddie Lacy and Jimmy Graham continue to be busts, and the Saints defence was just as holey as the Giants were. On the other side of the matchup, pr0ximity's team only managed 19.9 points across all receivers, what with Keenan Allen falling to the injury plague this week, Jason Witten being overlooked by Cowboys backup Matt Cassel. Fortunately for him, Romo is back next week, so maybe his points will start to go back up again.
Unluckiest Team this week goes to JD and Carpe Victoriam for a week of completely dominant highs and terrible lows. With newly acquired signings of Cam Newton and Todd Gurley managing to put up almost 40 points between them, things seemed to be going well. Robbie Gould managed 10 points, and Stefon Diggs and Travis Kelce continued to put up very respectable numbers. These were, however, cancelled out by woeful performances from the Falcons defence (2 points) Danny Amendola (1.1 point) Emmanuel Sanders (2.2 points) and Chris Ivory (4.1 points). Those 9.4 points across four positions gave JD a very average score, on which Trees was able to capitalise. Julian Edelman was Brady's go-to guy against Miami, with two TDs and 81 yards, almost matching Todd Gurley with 20.1 points. Russell Wilson continues to be average with 13.6 points, but Steve Gostkowski keeps racking up points with 12 this week, and currently leads the league in fantasy points scored by kickers at 85. Although he had poor performances from Marvin Jones, Giovanni Bernard and Eric Ebron, they were nothing compared to the holes in JD's lineup, and he falls to 1-7.
Things did not go well for R1N3 this week, with his QB situation getting worse and worse, Bradford was on a bye so Stafford had to step in with another, terrible, single digit performance. He was also sacked six times. Ben Watson made the most out of Drew Brees' fantastic performance this week with 20 points. Sadly, he was left on the bench in favour of Tyler Eifert who only managed 39 receiving yards. The only positions on his team to make over double digits were the Rams defence who managed three sacks and a safety, and Mark Ingram who also had a bit of attention in the Saints RB by committee. He will more than likely be getting even more snaps now what with Khiry Robinson suffering a season-ending leg injury, and he may turn into R1N3's #1 RB with LeVeon Bell ALSO having a season-ending injury. R1N3 had no points coming his way after the end of the early games, but at that point him and hwood were level, so all in all, it did not look good. For hwood, for some reason he left the Broncos defence on the bench (?) in favour of the Seahawks, and Larry Donnell left the game early and only scored 2.2 points, but Devonta Freeman continued his hot streak (albeit with less than 20 points this week) and Brian McManus continued the killer kicker trend with 11 points, and AJ Green had his best performance since week 3. So far, hwood has escaped the injury bug, and is back to his winning way, remaining at the top of the table at 7-1.
The next matchup was between Hoff and Demik, and with his most recent trade, as well as two big holes at this TE and flex position, Hoff looked dead set for a win. Sadly, the football gods were completely against him this week, and even though Blair Walsh managed 11 points and the Patriots defence scored 15, it was to the detriment of Hoff's own starting QB, Ryan Tannehill. He didn't manage a single TD, threw two INTs, and was sacked five times, once for a safety. Andre Ellington also had zero yards, and caught zero passes against the Browns, while Donte Moncrief caught just two balls for 18 yards. Charles Clay was on a bye with the Bills which left Hoff's TE position empty as well. Demik's bleeding team made the most of it and Joe Flacco managed almost 23 points for the Ravens in just their second win of the season, and Brandin cooks caught two of Brees' TDs in the game against the Giants. Dan Bailey also managed 14 points kicking for the Cowboys, meaning that in the run up to Monday night, it was all level. However, Andre Johnson managed a season-high 81 yards and a TD for 14.1 points to take Demik ahead of Hoff and win 81-68.
The Luckiest Team this week is absyrd, mainly because of the crazy ass way the defences are scored. I mean, how can you concede 52 points, and still have positive points, even with a pick six? SIX HUNDRED YARDS ALLOWED. Madness. Anyway. It wasn't all bad for his Giant connection, with OBJ getting a hat-trick of TDs and 130 yards, coming out on top of all the WRs this week, with almost 10 points more than his closest rival, Tavon Austin. Shane Vereen also had a day, with 12.3 points, and Greg Olsen even put up some decent points with 79 yards and a TD. His four Giants scored a combined 56.3 points. But it wasn't going to be easy, even with those big points, because Andy Dalton stalled slightly, even if he did lead the Bengals to a win against the Steelers, and the aforementioned's Martavis Bryant only managed 49 yards in just his third game of the season. Two of TJ's new acquisitions took to the field, in the form of Aaron Rodgers and Gronk. While Gronk managed a season-high 113 yards and a TD, A-Rod didn't fare quite so well, with the Broncos holding him to just 77 passing yards, and no TDs. He was sacked three times, once for a safety, but next week the Packers face the Panthers, with the NFL predicting he will be back to winning ways with 26.1 predicted points. The Panthers defence actually did quite well this week though against the Colts, with 14 points, and Dareen McFadden actually beat Beast Mode's points total for the fifth time this season. The matchup was a mighty close affair, with the lead changing three times over the course of the weekend. But it eventually finished 98-93, with absyrd pipping TJ to the post during Monday Night Football. Absyrd is now on a six game winning streak and remains in third place, while TJ suffers his sixth loss and drops down one place to eleventh.
Our final matchup was the blowout between Bueller and Boost. Boost continues to score reasonable points, even without paying attention, with Phillip Rivers leading the league in passing yardage, and Matt Forte putting up good points. Unfortunately for him this week, all but two of Bueller's positions scored double points, with Johnson, Peterson, Marshall and Thomas all racking up over a hundred yards, the Texans completely having their way with Marcus Mariota and the Titans, with seven sacks, two forced Fumbles and an INT. He also had Eli Manning starting, and while he only threw for six TDs, compared to Drew Brees' seven, he still had a huge 38 points on the week, just half a point less than Boost's entire lineup, minus Phillip Rivers. Bueller has nothing to be worried about with his two low scoring positions, as one was just shut out by the Broncos defence for two yards, and the other was a 109 yard performance, tarnished by two fumbles. As for Boost, with Matt Forte out, and the other two empty positions, it looks like it's going to be an easy game for TJ next week. Bueller now moves to 4-4 on the season, and up to 6th place, while boost drops to 3-5 and down to 9th.
Next week's byes are Arizona, Baltimore, Detroit, Houston, Kansas City and Seattle.

I would probably go for Rodgers tbh. I think last week was a blip against a really good defence.

Sucked that I had just dumped Rawls, too. Haha. Was too busy entertaining friends when Lynch got marked as inactive.
I try not to look back at my drops. Otherwise i look at the fact that I dropped McFadden right before he was made started and started tearing it up.

I just realized a few weeks ago that Katushkin was doing these recaps of the NFL and the fantasy league every week or so. Been really enjoying reading those and I just wanted to drop by and thank you for doing them. They're really fun.
Yeah, sorry I haven't been doing them recently. I only get on GH at work now, so I don't have time to do a write up, and I can't get all the stats off my phone I would like to do a decent write up. My PC will go up this week though, so I should be able to do one on Tuesday or Wednesday I hope :) I think it might be the last week before the playoffs too... I can't remember. We might have one more week of "regular season" left.

Okay, but I should warn you that I'm not very good at preparing for things, so I might have to push that loss back a few weeks or maybe until next year. Hope you don't mind.

I'm also top of my four man league (lol) with three more wins than anyone else, and a total of just under 2,000 points :))
So onto the matchups. We had a lot of very close duels this week, but only two where either side scored over 100 points.
First up was another bye for me against BOOST. Even though it seems like BOOST is not paying attention to his lineup week on week, he still manages to put up a decent amount of points and is not an easy win. With Carlos Hyde on IR since week 8, and Coby Fleener continuing to be pretty terrible, he was limited to 68 points, with his flex, kicker and defence putting up double digits. Luckily for me, I had faith in Eric Decker and Alshon Jeffries, even if Big Ben did let me down a little bit. Boost did take the lead late into Sunday, but the 6 points from Richard Rodgers on Sunday night took me six points ahead to cement my third place spot and confirm my place in the playoffs against the super high scoring bueller. BOOST ends the season 3-11 with a 7 game losing streak, finishing only above Demik in the standings.
Bueller and TJ faced off in the highest scoring game of the week, with a total of 257.5 points between them. Who would have thought that Blake Bortles and Eli Manning would be comparable at the start of the season? Or that the Jaguars would beat the Colts? But that's what happened. The top four positions looks mighty favourable for TJ, with James Starks scoring two TDs and 103 total yards, Darren McFadden with 111 yards, and Bueller's Latavius Murray only getting 2.7 points, and Demarius Thomas's average 7.5 points, but the rest of the matchup tells a different story. Ted Ginn smashed his way through the Falcons, with two TDs and 122 total yards, Chandler Cantazaro's five successful kicks, and the Jets sacking poor Martcus Mariota five times. Gary Barnidge also managed over 10 points for the eighth week this season, and while the Panthers shut out the Falcons, managed a huge four turnovers, and five sacks as well, it wasn't enough to bridge the gap to the leagues second highest average points scorer, and TJ ends the season 7-7 after a pretty abysmal start. Bueller finishes second, with a three game win streak, and a 9-5 record.
The end of Sunday must have seen absyrd crying curled up on a ball on his sofa, after he finished the day with a grand total of 16 points. Andy Dalton broke his hand in the first quarter trying to tackle a big Steeler who had caught a wayward pass, and only managed 0.36 points. Amari Cooper was targeted eight times but didn't catch a thing, while only TJ Yeldon put up a respectable 6.3 points, and Greg Olsen putting up a points tally that wouldn't look out of place for a regular TE, but he went down late in the first half with a knee injury which pinned his points back. He also did not practise on Wednesday, putting his appearance on Sunday, and absyrd's chances in the playoffs in doubt. As always, the wait for the Giants, and the OBJ show, was going to be his saviour, and while Beckham managed 28 points (with THAT TD catch) Shane Vereen scored just one point, and the defence and kicker scored an average seven points each. Meanwhile, Hoff's lineup does not look much better, other than Aaron Rodgers managing a substantial amount of points against those horrible Cowboys, and Blair Walsh doing what he does, but Antonio Brown had only an average performance for a WR of his stature, and Charles Clay dropping out of the game against the Eagles with only 9 yards to his name, made it a lot closer at the end of Monday night than Hoff would have liked.
Bitter rivals Demik and Hwood were next, and well, it's no surprise that Demik lost, but then again, even if he had still been playing this season he probably still would have lost to the Devonta Freemen. Making the decision to abandon Matt Ryan, his replacement Jameis Winston fared a lot better, and even Devonta Freeman himself couldn't run through the Panthers as he only put up four points. Pretty much every other position managed double digits too, with Lamar Miller and AJ Green having great days, and the Seahawks looking more like the Legion of boom of old. Demik's sacrifice did not do what he had intended it to, and Hwood finishes top of the league, while Demik enjoyed a six loss streak to end the season at the bottom with a record of 3-11.
Another fantastically close matchup this week was between R1N3 and Trees. There was no info on Mark Ingram's injury all week, until the Saints said he was inactive on Sunday morning. This left a gaping hole in R1N3's lineup, and it did not look good. Then came along Russell Wilson who tore apart the Ravens and put him into the conversations for league MVP with 5 passing TDs and 300 combined yards. The Steelers were also ruthless for trees against the Bengals, scoring 16 points, but that's pretty much where the impressive scores came to an end. Danny Amendola was pinned back against the Texans, and it seemed that Allen Robinson was the only Jaguars WR to not get given a lot of the ball, even though he pulled in one of the three TDs Blake Bortles threw for against the Colts. Delaine Walker also did alright for himself, considering the Titans played horribly. With trees' successes came R1N3's woes as the clinical precision of Wilson meant that Hauschka only had 6 PATs to put his boot through. Matthew Stafford only threw for one INT in the Lions loss to the Rams, while the Rams defence managed to score only three points less than Stafford. I guess sacks don't count against a QB's performance which is kinda good I guess. Stafford has now been R1N3's top points scorer for the last five weeks, which, I don't really know what that shows. We reached the end of Sunday with R1N3 trailing by almost 20 points. Luckily for him, he had two last plays up his sleeves in Rashad Jennings and Jarvis Landry. They combined for a total of 201 yards. The graph on the desktop site doesn't even show R1N3 going ahead at the end of MNF, it was THAT close. The score ended 87.0 - 86.88 - a difference of 12 QB passing yards, or just over one rushing/receiving yard for an outfield player. Pretty nuts. R1N3 ends up in 6th place with an 8-6 record, while on trees' début he finishes in 10th place at 5-9.
Almost done.....

Just gives you an extra two weeks to play. They put it two weeks before the end so everybody can continue to use their lineups without worrying about who is out and who is in, and it also makes sure that the fantasy season is 17 weeks for everyone.
Basically for pride/fun.
