I set up the 2012 league, and sent out emails to all managers I could. I made the league searchable, with the name Hatrack, and set the password as Hatrack.
Anyone want to join up? It should be an interesting year, with all of the personnel changes so far. Posted by Lyrhawn (Member # 7039) on :

I'm going to crush you all like...something that was very thoroughly crushed!
Heck, if DeMarco Murray hadn't blown out his knee in the first quarter of our playoffs I would have won the whole thing! Prepareith thineselves for the forthcoming crush-ith-ing!
Posted by Kwea (Member # 2199) on :
Looking at my team last you I STILL don't fully understand how I only came in 3rd. Rice, Welker, Rivers, Hernandez, Lynch, Bryant and Antonio Brown?
That was a pretty damn good team. I just flopped in the playoffs. IIRC, I outscored both teams in the finals the next week. LOL
Posted by Kwea (Member # 2199) on :
9 team so far, looking like a great league this year! Who will win the Shiva? Posted by Stone_Wolf_ (Member # 8299) on :
Heya guys, can we switch from 3 WRs and 2 RBs to 2 WRs, 2 RBs and a Flex?
Posted by Lyrhawn (Member # 7039) on :
I would also be in favor of that.
Posted by Kwea (Member # 2199) on :
I am not.
We tried that a few seasons ago and all that happened was that everyone put in 3 RB's. There is more talent at WR than RB, and I thought the balance was better without the flex last season.
My suggestion is to wait to see how many teams we get before changing that. If everyone else wants that we can do it, but let's wait to see first.
Posted by Lyrhawn (Member # 7039) on :
Considering there's a PPR element to our league that most other leagues I've played in don't have, it still weights things toward a WR. The last two seasons I've gotten smoked at WR and ended up with bonus RBs, but couldn't pull off a trade, and couldn't have drafted any better.
I'll play either way, but I like the flex play.
Posted by Stone_Wolf_ (Member # 8299) on :
Unless I'm massively confused, there is no PPR (points per reception) thing going on.

Posted by Papa Moose (Member # 1992) on :
For clarification: I will help facilitate, but it's Superstation who will be making the choices (I may make occasional suggestions, but it's his team). So if you lose, know that it was to an eight-year-old. Just sayin'.

Heya Papa Moose...if we don't get another player by draft day hey don't you join with your own team? Gotta have even numbers right?
Posted by Papa Moose (Member # 1992) on :
I'm probably going to have to help Superstation with his draft, and I'll be helping Mooselet in another league. I don't have that kind of time.
(And Superstation did indeed win the playoff fantasy league he entered last year, so he's far from ignorant, but it's his first time doing a draft, and I'll need to be left with a little bit of sanity.)
Posted by Stone_Wolf_ (Member # 8299) on :
What happens if we have an odd number on draft day?
Posted by Kwea (Member # 2199) on :
last one who joined is dropped, per Yahoo's automated policies.

I'm counting ten teams -- am I missing something?
Posted by Godric 2.0 (Member # 11443) on :
If there's an odd number, I'll sign up. I haven't done a fantasy team the last two years. It would be fun to get back in the game. Where do I sign up?
Posted by Stone_Wolf_ (Member # 8299) on :
We have an even number of teams ATM, which I don't understand, unless someone dropped out...
But we are in Yahoo fantasy football under the league "hatrack". I tried to send you an invite, but for the life of my can't find a way to do so.
Posted by Kwea (Member # 2199) on :
I must have counted wrong....I think I counted on the invite page, but not everyone responded.
All the same, Godric, I sent you an invite. Posted by Godric 2.0 (Member # 11443) on :
Thanks Kwea! Registered and ready to take off (or touchdown?)!

anyone else? NOW we have 11....lol....
Posted by Papa Moose (Member # 1992) on :
I don't know if Superstation really gets the draft thing -- we'll have to see how it goes. Eh, what's the worst that could happen? He learns something for next year.
Kwea, how does the IR position work? That is, how is it different from another bench?
Posted by Stone_Wolf_ (Member # 8299) on :
Last year was my first ever doing FF...my draft was pretty bad (except for a QB and K) and I shored up my team during the season.
That is a good question about IR...don't think that spot was included last year.
Posted by Lyrhawn (Member # 7039) on :
If IR works here like it does in ESPN, IR basically is a bench seat, but the only people who can occupy it must be designated injured by Yahoo.
Posted by Papa Moose (Member # 1992) on :
And if they are removed from the injury list by Yahoo, what happens? Do we have a day to drop someone or something?
Posted by Lyrhawn (Member # 7039) on :
On ESPN, they sort of hover there for a day and then they force you to make a roster move. But I'm not positive how Yahoo handles that.
Posted by Papa Moose (Member # 1992) on :
Based on the Commissioner's Note, I'm guessing you don't draft for the position, but if one of your players goes IR, you can hold on to him?
Posted by Papa Moose (Member # 1992) on :
Hey -- is something gonna change on the page so there's a link to the actual draft? I see mock drafts and testing to see if the draft will work, but I feel uncomfortable not knowing what to click to actually get into the live draft.
ETA: Ok, it's there. I feel better.

I think Sup suffered having come from a non-IDP league. His defense looks pretty thin.
Posted by Lyrhawn (Member # 7039) on :
IDP is a a big learning curve the first time out, especially the way Yahoo "helps" you pick IDP players. You have to do some legwork ahead of time. I learned that the hard way the first year.
Posted by Stone_Wolf_ (Member # 8299) on :
After waivers are done he will be able to shore up his D...the filters for looking up players in Yahoo are very helpful.
Posted by Lyrhawn (Member # 7039) on :
There area almost always a couple decent guys on waivers to snag on any given week. It's why I didn't worry too much about picking up backups.
Posted by Papa Moose (Member # 1992) on :
Hoping so. Either way, he plans to have a lot of fun.

quote:Originally posted by Lyrhawn: Noooo, I don't want the first draft pick!

Screw you....this is the 3rd time I've gotten the LAST draft pick! It's horrible!
I was on auto-draft the first 4-5 rounds. My phone was a horrible device to try it on, and by the time I made it home....oh well.
It could have been worse, but I would have snagged Sproles over MJD, as I have had him on every single team I have had other than this one. Also, he is a featured back now. And I would have gone deeper at RB, but they were pretty much all gone once I got my 3rd round pick.
I got a good team, I started drafting IDP players earlier and got a few good ones.
So...MJD may or may not be a Jag, and AP will have a very light load coming back. Not good..... And I have 4 good receivers, but no standouts this week....have to decide between Bryant and McCoy.....two good but inconsistent players.
Posted by Lyrhawn (Member # 7039) on :
I never know anymore. I look at my lineup and think, hm, not bad, but three games in I'm positive I'll have made all the wrong choices and it'll be crap.
I made a pretty safe pick for my top choice. And I was actually sort of surprised there were so many good wideouts 23 picks later. But I picked up way too many RBs for my bench where I should have grabbed wideouts.
I went after IDP players pretty early on as well and grabbed some top talent, but I have no idea how well they'll pan out. I had IDP players that did consistently better than some of my offense last year, we'll see.
Posted by Kwea (Member # 2199) on :
You got Welker, so I have no sympathy for you at all. And Rodgers....
According to our league page, you won the medal for "Best Draft", so I'd say you did fine. Posted by Lyrhawn (Member # 7039) on :
Really? Snazzy.
I'll bet it's like the Madden Curse though.
Posted by Godric 2.0 (Member # 11443) on :
I just let the auto draft fill in for me. Every time I do that instead of obsessing over managing it I've done better overall - even winning the league I was in one year. Doesn't seem like I did too bad...
Posted by Kwea (Member # 2199) on :
What team are you, Godric?
Lyr....I sure HOPE so! Posted by Kwea (Member # 2199) on :
Hmmm....AP and MDJ both on my bench for game 1....not how I wanted the season to start.
If they get working, I might have a decent team though. Posted by Lyrhawn (Member # 7039) on :
I'm rooting for AP to have a big setback.
I have Toby Gerhart in my big pay league, and I could really use the boost since I'm thin at running back.
But in return, I'll root for MJD to get up to speed fast. Though, of Chris Johnson's hold out season last year is any indication, MJD might be in for a rough year.
Posted by Kwea (Member # 2199) on :
I bet they are both fine by week 3. If not...well, I have backups. Posted by Papa Moose (Member # 1992) on :
In the other league we play, rosters lock before the first game of the week and lineups lock each player five minutes before his game. I can't find out when those lock in this league. Anyone?
Posted by Lyrhawn (Member # 7039) on :
I'm pretty sure the only spots that lock are when the game actually starts. So you should be able to change, if you have Monday night guys on the bench and the roster, right up to the last game.
Posted by Papa Moose (Member # 1992) on :
What about add/drops or trades?
Posted by Lyrhawn (Member # 7039) on :
Once you clear waivers before the start of the week, you should be able to do adds and drops right up to the last minute as well, but the guys you add and drop must not have already played as well.
I'm not sure about trades. I think a lot of them only take effect after the following week, but it might depend on when you initiate the trade.
Kwea?
Posted by Lyrhawn (Member # 7039) on :
Make sure you all take a look at your lineups tonight. It's the first game of the season!

Gamblers.
Posted by Kwea (Member # 2199) on :
Lyr hit it on the head. You can change until right about kickoff, maybe 5 min before. As far as adds and drops, you can't drop someone who has played that week, or add someone who played that week.
There is a 3 day approval period for trades, where people have a right to vote to block a trade. After that, the trade processes.
Posted by Stone_Wolf_ (Member # 8299) on :
I bet you wished you had started Ogletree eh Kwea?
Posted by Lyrhawn (Member # 7039) on :
No one in my other two leagues even drafted him. I'm rolling Dez Bryant in my family league, but Ogletree is snaking all the TDs.
Posted by Lyrhawn (Member # 7039) on :
Ugh, one game in and already all my picks for the week are busts.
Hopefully this isn't a sign of things to come.
Posted by Kwea (Member # 2199) on :
Yeah. I grabbed him from the wavier wire, but now I have an embarrassment of riches at WR.
Him, Bryant, Lloyd, Jackson, Amedola, and Torrey Smith. And only 3 slots to play WR's.
With AP and MDJ both half time RB's for a week or three, depending on health and timing...
If they get healthy, I am going to have a hell of a team for the second half of the season, though. Even if they don't, I have some good options....Pead and Rodgers are good, although not what I would call FT backs.
I did pick up Ingram, but the NO RB situation is complicated, with him, Sproles and Thomas all sharing RB duties.
Posted by Stone_Wolf_ (Member # 8299) on :
I'm betting on Sproles personally.
Posted by Papa Moose (Member # 1992) on :
Especially with the returns, yes.
Superstation only had one player active, but he barely outperformed our estimate (which was higher than Yahoo's estimate). We have a lot of people playing on Monday, so at least we'll pretty much know what we need to accomplish.
Posted by Kwea (Member # 2199) on :
I have had Sproles on every team I have ever had before this year.....and had I not been autodrafting in R1, I would have taken him first. I think Ingram will be the #1 RB, but Sproles will outperform him due to the return yardage.
He is a great player.

Posted by Wendybird (Member # 84) on :
So as a person who has never played but has always wanted to learn where do you suggest I figure the whole fantasy football thing out?
Posted by Stone_Wolf_ (Member # 8299) on :
Wendybird, it might be a bit of a challenge to find a league that hasn't started yet as kickoff was this past Wednesday.
But just find one, join up and call it a "learning year" and don't expect to win...and we can answer questions as they pop up.
Unfortunately the Hatrack League is already going and can't accept new members as far as I know...but you can join next year after learning how this one!
Posted by Kwea (Member # 2199) on :
I like the way YahooSports does their website and leagues. It's pretty cool. I am sorry, but SW is right, we have already started, but if you have any questions let us know and I am sure we will try and help you.
Basically, you pick a bunch of players, and the computer tracks how they do week to week for you. Depending on what the league sets up, you get specific numbers of "points" for specific things....like rushing TD's, passing yards and TD'd....and you earn a score each week based on how each of the players you chose to play do.
You have choices to make each week, because your team gets bench plays too. For instance, I have a lot of good wide receivers, so I have to pick and choose who I will play, based on who their team is playing and how well I think each player plays. It's pretty frustrating when you sit a player and he blows the other team out of the water. Posted by Papa Moose (Member # 1992) on :
I don't like the fact that the stattracker doesn't distinguish between a player who has 1 minute left in his game and a player who doesn't start until tomorrow. CBS shows total minutes remaining, which is a much more useful number.
I think Superstation was asking earlier about where the "smack talk" place was. I might have to find that for him.
Posted by Lyrhawn (Member # 7039) on :
Ugh.
I'm on track to lose all three of my games today. This is just not a good week.
The thing I hate even more than losing is when one or two players have dynamite weeks and it's wasted because a bunch of others stink up the field. I just want to save those good weeks and move them around.
Posted by Stone_Wolf_ (Member # 8299) on :
Lyr, nah, you are winning, and have more players yet to play then the Bombs.

Yeah things took a weird turn in the second half of that Broncos game for me. Now it looks like I'm going to win two of my games.
If Ray Rice has a terrible, terrible game tomorrow I could even win all three. I'm going to be a little pissy when I lose my pay league game though. I'm probably going to have the second highest score in the league and still lose. I HATE it when that happens.
Posted by Papa Moose (Member # 1992) on :
If Ray Rice is going to have a terrible, terrible game, this is the week we'd like him to do it.
Mooselet had the slimmest of hopes going into tonight's game -- he needed for Peyton Manning to do nothing and for the Denver DST to do nothing. At first it was like little nails in the coffin. By the end, they had nailed the coffin shut, glued it, duct-taped it, and buried it in cement.
Unless Antonio Gates scores about six touchdowns tomorrow. Only player the boys' two teams have in common.

I needed Manning to do nothing in my other league as well, and he was doing great for awhile. Even that long bomb he threw went to my wideout, so I picked up like 20 pts from Demaryius Thomas, but then he tossed that one yarder and ruined it.
Posted by Papa Moose (Member # 1992) on :
Well, if anyone on SD was going to have the kind of game we need, it'd be (a healthy) Gates. But it just ain't gonna happen.
The bomb to Thomas pretty much killed us (that's when I told Mooselet I thought it was over), but it just kept getting worse. If the second half had matched the first half we would've had a tough time (Denver's DST), but it was possible.
Out of curiosity, who are all the team managers? I recognize some, of course, but have no idea on a few.

My team is really hard to spot Posted by Godric 2.0 (Member # 11443) on :
So I spent most of last week agonizing over who to start at QB: Robert Griffin, Alex Smith or Russell Wilson. Turns out I should have given more thought to my kicker. Mason Crosby earned me 2 points starting, while Matt Bryant earned 17 points on my bench.

Heya Kwea, can you explain why the scores went all wonky last night? From about 11 pm til sometime in the early morning everyone's points were funk a doodle (my match-up went from 138-118 to 58-97).
Posted by Lyrhawn (Member # 7039) on :
They do scoring adjustments during the night. You'll see the changes in blue and if you click on them it'll have an explanation for why, but sometimes during the course of those changes they wackify all the scores as they remove certain players from the tallies.
Posted by Kwea (Member # 2199) on :
Not just that, but the site had a hiccup, and all the scores went wonky there. That's the first time I ever saw it do that.
Posted by Papa Moose (Member # 1992) on :
"Mind if I sit?" Superstation didn't have to turn around to know it was Stone Wolf.
"Ho Stone," said Superstation. "Sit."
"You gold-plated fart," said Stone cheerfully. "We're all trying to decide whether your scores up there are a miracle or a mistake."
"A habit," said Superstation.
"One victory is not a habit," Stone said. "Don't get cocky. . . ."
Posted by Lyrhawn (Member # 7039) on :
Indeed.
Posted by Kwea (Member # 2199) on :
Meh. We will see. Your team is good, but Matt Ryan won't score 30+ even every OTHER week for you.
Posted by Kwea (Member # 2199) on :
I STILL don't know how I didn't do better last season. I hold the record for smallest margin of defeat for a season, all time, for as long as we have been on Yahoo.
I had Rivers at QB, Welker, Bryant and Garcon at WR, Sproles and Rice at RB, and Hernandez at TE. I had good backups....Lynch, Torrey Smith, Vernon Davis. And I had 5 defensive players over 110 points.
On paper I should have done much better. Posted by Lyrhawn (Member # 7039) on :
Lots of commentators have put Matt Ryan on top of their QB sleeper charts. He has two top flight wideouts, a good backup core, and one great RB who can take the pressure off them. Plus he has a great arm.
Could be a banner year.
Everyone should pay attention tonight, there's a Thursday night game. Packers and Bears.
Posted by Kwea (Member # 2199) on :
Not saying he won't do great, but 34 points a week? I doubt it. He is hardly a sleeper though, he has been a top 5 QB for the past 2-3 years now.
Posted by Lyrhawn (Member # 7039) on :
This game is a disaster!
Rogers is going to sink all three of my teams! And Forte going off the field is going to kill my family league.

Posted by Papa Moose (Member # 1992) on :
Wasn't around to pay attention to the game, but neither Mooselet nor Superstation, nor either of their opponents, had any active players in the game.
Until some time after about an hour before game time, when Mooselet's opponent activated Crosby in place of Kaeding. 17 points from the kicker. Ouch. Stafford and Johnson better connect this week. A lot.

I live in a perpetual state of cautious pessimism.
Posted by Papa Moose (Member # 1992) on :
Superstation's doing ok thus far, though unhappy about Gates and Garcon being out, plus Bradshaw getting hurt.
Mooselet's struggling this week again, with no backup for Gates at TE, and Andre Johnson doing very little. He's still in it, though, so far -- depends a lot on Rivers' continued performance (or its lack, as Rivers is on his opponent's team), and then a better Stafford/Johnson combination tomorrow.
[ETR] Oops. Wrong opponent.
Posted by Lyrhawn (Member # 7039) on :
Tonight you mean, for the Stafford/Johnson connection.
Posted by Papa Moose (Member # 1992) on :
Yeah -- I got confused between Mooselet's Stafford-Johnson team tonight and Superstation's Ryan-Jones tomorrow.
Posted by Papa Moose (Member # 1992) on :
Good grief. Mooselet won in his league by one point (and would've lost the tiebreaker), with under a minute-and-a-half to go. We actually wanted Detroit not to get the onside kick, because Stafford might've gotten picked.
Plenty of what-ifs, but for now we're just taking the W.
Posted by Kwea (Member # 2199) on :
I obviously have an eye for talent. I see it, pick them up, then bench them at the last second so I can not break 100 pts again.
I think we need to redraft. Posted by Papa Moose (Member # 1992) on :
Well, Kwea, near the end I was sorta hoping for you to win (to keep Vash at 1-1), but your loss resulted in my going 6 for 6 in the pick 'em, absent unexpected stat corrections. That'll still put me tied for second with Stone behind Lyrhawn, but since Lyrhawn will be 7-5 and Stone and I will both be 6-0, I think it's more reasonable to say that I'm tied for first.
Also, the stattracker "Optimal Lineup" is kinda stupid. Superstation scored 130.01, and it says the optimal lineup would result in a score of 127.91. It's because they fill the D spots before DB and DL, but it'd be such an easy fix....
Posted by Kwea (Member # 2199) on :
Meh
My D is killing me. None of them are close to what they are predicted to do weekly.
Dez Bryant was horrible for me the only other time I had him for FF. He sucks so far this year too.
But what sucks the most is Amendola....I removed him for Torey Smith at the last second and he gets 22 points. I also changed Cortland Finnegan, and he got 9 points, a 5 point difference from the guy I put in instead.
This sucks.

I'll keep my smack talk age and prose appropriate. Posted by Papa Moose (Member # 1992) on :
Nice follow-up. Superstation didn't have much smack in his next talk, except to say he was unimpressed with your math skills.
Posted by Lyrhawn (Member # 7039) on :
First play of the game the kid gets a 73 yard TD pass.
I'm not liking today's direction.
Posted by Stone_Wolf_ (Member # 8299) on :
Oh yea Minnesota Vikings boooya!
Posted by Kwea (Member # 2199) on :
I should have played Torrey Smith rather than Lloyd, but still....about TIME I showed up to play!!!
Posted by Lyrhawn (Member # 7039) on :
I should have played Spiderman.
Sick agility and sticky hands that can catch any ball...or webshooters to snag the ones the QB misthrows.
He'd be an unstoppable wideout.
Posted by Papa Moose (Member # 1992) on :
Superstation wanted to continue smack-talking, but I told him he'd had enough for today. I'm glad you had a good week, Kwea, though I was kinda hoping for biggest blowout again. I don't think it's very likely with Rogers on deck against Seattle, but I didn't think Rivers would get stopped so completely, either. I think it's more likely than us losing the week, but that's not impossible, either. Most unlikely occurrence in fantasy history, perhaps, but not impossible.
Posted by Lyrhawn (Member # 7039) on :
Considering the score, I think he's justified in a little more smack talk if he wants.
He's good and truly crushing me.
Posted by Kwea (Member # 2199) on :
I sat Torrey Smith.
I almost played him as Lloyd was Questionable, but still...Lloyd had a good day, just not a 26 point day like Smith. Posted by Lyrhawn (Member # 7039) on :
Lost all my games this week by margins that range from 80 points to .2 points.
Abysmal.
Also, did anyone catch the end of the Packers-Seahawks game? Speaking of abysmal, the refs handed the game to the Seahawks. This one is going to be talked about for years to come.
Posted by Papa Moose (Member # 1992) on :
At the end of the month Phrightening Phist had played three matchups in three weeks. The score stood 3 wins and 0 losses. No one believed anymore that it was a fluke that put him first in the standings. He had beaten top teams by unheard-of margins. It was no longer possible for other coaches to ignore him.
There were many, too, who hated him. Hated him for being young, for being excellent, for having made their victories look paltry and weak. . . .
*wink*
Posted by Kwea (Member # 2199) on :
Hardly. It's still early, and Ryan will fall apart at the end, as usual.
Should be a fun match now that my guys are healthy. Posted by Papa Moose (Member # 1992) on :
Ready for this week to start. With refs! (And condolences to anyone who got worked in a league due to so many bad calls this past week.)
Hey, Stone -- if you want to meet the kid that's gonna whip you this week, we'll be at Rio Mesa for Mooselet's game from 12:00-2:00 this Saturday. Superstation won't be there right at the beginning, because his game is 10:00-12:00 in Fillmore, but should definitely be there by 1:00, if not earlier.
Posted by Stone_Wolf_ (Member # 8299) on :
If you by "whip you" you mean edge me out by a small margin...
Love to, but celebrating my son's third birthday that day. Please keep asking though, we will meet one of these days!
Posted by Papa Moose (Member # 1992) on :
Well, that was a rather inauspicious beginning for both our teams. I hope things get better for both (more for us, but some for you) on Sunday.
Posted by Papa Moose (Member # 1992) on :
Well, crud. It feels so much worse when you could have played other people and won. And we came so close to playing both of the people that would've done it for us. Congrats, Stone.
In lighter news, Mooselet's team won their first actual football game yesterday, and Superstation's interception and 26-yard return was the play of the game in his (though his team did end up losing).
Posted by Kwea (Member # 2199) on :
I know all about that. I sat McCoy this week as he has been a dud for me, almost as bad as Bryant.
He scored 16 points. I also almost sat AP and played Morris. Morris got about 4-5 points more.
I am winning by 9, with Peppers to play tomorrow (a D player) and my opposition has the Dallas kicker. It's gonna be CLOSE!
Posted by Stone_Wolf_ (Member # 8299) on :
Thanks PM...but I'll wait to celebrate for stat corrections.
Posted by Papa Moose (Member # 1992) on :
After stat corrections it hurts even more. Three and a half points. Ugh.
Posted by Stone_Wolf_ (Member # 8299) on :
Sorry!
Hey, and sorry to Lyr's Lions on behalf of the Vikes.
Posted by Lyrhawn (Member # 7039) on :
Much appreciated.
We gave that one away. I don't know what happened to last year's Lions, but I suspect they're lost in the same forest that's beguiling last year's Saints.
On the bright side...I had the Vikes team D in on of my other leagues.
Posted by Stone_Wolf_ (Member # 8299) on :
Only undefeated team...wow, that's lucky.
I'm 3rd by points...
Only 80 point difference (or about 20 per game) between 4-0 and 0-4...this league is tight.
Posted by Papa Moose (Member # 1992) on :
Yeah, but a 144 point difference between 3-1 and 1-3. Dangit. We'd better choose a better lineup this week.
Congrats to the Ketchups and the Warriors for their first wins. Condolences to and commiseration with the Stampede on their first loss.
Posted by Kwea (Member # 2199) on :
Yeah, I'm 2-2 now! Hell of a close game too, about 6 points. Posted by Lyrhawn (Member # 7039) on :
Make sure you all set your lineups. There's a game tonight and bye weeks are are in full swing. Several teams still have large gaps of unfilled positions.
Posted by Stone_Wolf_ (Member # 8299) on :
Funny...I didn't even break 100 and I'm still (probbly gunna be) undefeated...lucky break RG3 got hurt I guess.

Posted by Lyrhawn (Member # 7039) on :
Whoever runs the Gamblers...there are still a couple of great options available tonight to snag off the waiver wire that could cut down Foster's workload.
I see two that could produce 5-10 points if you're lucky. You'll have to dump your bye week player, but I'm betting you'd get him right back if you really want him. Look at Laron Landry and Yeremiah Bell. I'd check to make sure they're healthy for tonight, but it's worth a try.
Posted by Lyrhawn (Member # 7039) on :
And yes, Stone Wolf, I'm actively participating in your defeat. Posted by Godric 2.0 (Member # 11443) on :

I can only add/drop players for week 6. I thought rosters were locked on Sundays. If I'm wrong, doh! I realized yesterday too late I had that one player in my starting lineup and was too late to switch him with anyone on my bench.
Posted by Lyrhawn (Member # 7039) on :
I was under the impression that rosters only locked for players who had already played.
But after trying to drop a player myself I see that you're right.
Alas.
We'll all be rooting for Foster. Posted by Stone_Wolf_ (Member # 8299) on :
Not ALL. Posted by Kwea (Member # 2199) on :
It locks 1/2 an hour before kickoff, I think.

If it makes you feel better, I don't particularly want to see you do poorly...I just want to see me do better.
Better?
Posted by Stone_Wolf_ (Member # 8299) on :
It's a sure mess a luck I haven't lost already, what with being 3rd in points anyway.
Posted by Lyrhawn (Member # 7039) on :
It's a mess of luck I'm in third. I'm second in points for AND points against.
Posted by Stone_Wolf_ (Member # 8299) on :
Whew, that was close!
Posted by Lyrhawn (Member # 7039) on :
Lame.
But I'm just extra bitter because I lost in my family league this week despite having the second highest score. Seeing someone win with the second lowest score is just irksome.
But I doff my cap to you sir, on being 5-0.
Posted by Papa Moose (Member # 1992) on :
We're still annoyed at not being in first, what with being first in points and last in points against. Glad for a win this week, though.
Mooselet's team did so poorly this week I feel absolutely terrible for him. Between two WRs, 2 RBs, and a TE, he scored 8 points. And half of those were from Amendola, who is now out for quite a few weeks.
My understanding is that rosters lock for adds/drops five minutes before the first game on Sunday (players whose teams played Thursday lock then), but actives/inactives can be changed for players who haven't played up to five minutes before they play (though I guess it might be 30 minutes for each).
Posted by Stone_Wolf_ (Member # 8299) on :
Hey, last year one injured player in the first playoff game dropped me from first place by three wins to fifth place. This time the injury got me the W. I'm still owed a bit karmicly.
Also note I warned Godrick twice!
Posted by Kwea (Member # 2199) on :
Rosters lock, but the lineup can be changed until 1/2 an hour before gametime.
Posted by Stone_Wolf_ (Member # 8299) on :
Wow is it annoying that the Android app, the Yahoo page and the GameChannel all list different scores for the same match up at the same time!
Posted by Stone_Wolf_ (Member # 8299) on :
Also confused/frustrated that I tried to pick up Sidney Rice as a free agent Thursday afternoon and it wouldn't let me do it...instead putting in a Waiver for week 6.
Posted by Lyrhawn (Member # 7039) on :
Well, if Rice had been dropped since waivers cleared the week before, then you can't.
Posted by Stone_Wolf_ (Member # 8299) on :
I just wish I had understood it was Rice I couldn't get and not that the whole thing had locked, I would have picked up someone else.
Oh well, live and learn.
Posted by Stone_Wolf_ (Member # 8299) on :
Third place, here I come!
Posted by Lyrhawn (Member # 7039) on :
I have to say Stone Wolf, much as I was rooting for you to lose last week, I'm a little sad now. There's something special about a perfect record, and I'm sad to see it go.
On the other hand...I see second place on the horizon...::knock on wood::
Posted by Lyrhawn (Member # 7039) on :
Have TD passes always been worth 4 points?
Posted by Stone_Wolf_ (Member # 8299) on :
I don't feel so bad, I did pretty good for having my QB, kicker, two RBs and two D on bye week.
Passing TD have always been 4 as far as I can recall, which is to say 80% sure.
Posted by Lyrhawn (Member # 7039) on :
I'm having a bizarre senior moment where I swear all my leagues were 6 points but apparently two of them are four points.
Throwing me off.
Posted by Stone_Wolf_ (Member # 8299) on :
Can one have a senior moment in their 20s?
Posted by Lyrhawn (Member # 7039) on :
Yes.
I'm senior to everyone younger than 28.
Posted by Stone_Wolf_ (Member # 8299) on :
Okay!
Posted by Stone_Wolf_ (Member # 8299) on :
Krath gorram it frak! I should have played Jordy Nelson!
Posted by Kwea (Member # 2199) on :
Yes, TD's have always been 4 pts for a QB, 6 points for a WR/TE or RB. It's the standard scoring for Yahoo, ESPN, NFL.com.
If a QB RUNS a TD in, it's 6 points, just like everyone else.

Posted by Papa Moose (Member # 1992) on :
I feel you, Stone. When you beat us we had four different players who could have changed the outcome. C'est la vie. It is sad to see a winning streak end (sadder when it was us), but I'd be lying if I said I was disappointed. But stat corrections could swing things back to you -- the score isn't final yet.
No active games really look to change hands, but nothing's impossible. And yes, in the league Mooselet plays in, passing TDs are worth 6 (though INTs also worth -2), and three QBs went first round. Mooselet, unfortunately, despite having what appeared to be a great draft, is getting crushed by unexpectedly poor play. The commissioner of the league does a prediction every week, and the only time Mooselet was predicted to lose he won. The other five times he's been predicted to win or "too close to call." He lost, and it was never too close to call. The only one too close to call was his win, which was by a single point.
Anyway, another week mostly over.
Posted by Stone_Wolf_ (Member # 8299) on :
It's all good, I -deserve- third place, and your boy deserves first, as Lyr deserves second.
Anyway, I'm far from done with this season. The next time I'm in in first, I'll deserve it.
Posted by Lyrhawn (Member # 7039) on :
I had some close ones this week...until Rogers decided to throw six touchdowns.
Next week is a tricky one for byes for me. Hopefully the waiver wire has some good stuff.
Posted by Kwea (Member # 2199) on :
I think I got it, and I don't think corrections will swing it. Despite Texas sucking!!
Posted by Stone_Wolf_ (Member # 8299) on :
Congrats Kwea, you got me by 3.5 points. Had I played Nelson instead of Hartline I would have won by 28.
Posted by Papa Moose (Member # 1992) on :
Gates finally has a good game and we have him on the bench. Good grief, Chargers! Did you forget there was a second half to football games?

I was actually kinda pleased the Chargers forgot they were playing against Payton Manning when they went into half-time.

Does this mean they have to stop playing those safety videos with Ray Lewis and his mom during commercials?
Posted by Papa Moose (Member # 1992) on :
Not a whole lot of safety equipment available for triceps, but yeah, I bet they'll pull them.
So in rankings, obviously won/lost comes first, but then is it just points for, rather than a differential? And do head-head matchups not affect the rankings at all? I couldn't find anywhere that indicated (other than extrapolating from the current rankings, and not even much of that).
Posted by Lyrhawn (Member # 7039) on :
In ties, points for is the first tie breaker. For all I know it's the only tie breaker, but yeah, no differentials or head to head match ups.
I can't see using differentials (by which you mean, I assume, differential between points for and points against) as any sort of useful metric. They're totally a matter of luck. But if you were going to use them, I'd think you'd use them by saying whoever has the most points against would win, because they had to overcome a harder challenge.
Posted by Papa Moose (Member # 1992) on :
Agreed. Sort of a "strength of schedule" thing.
I like how it's done in Mooselet's league -- there are three divisions of four teams each, and all division leaders and one wildcard go to the playoffs. Though it's nice to have more teams go to the playoffs, too.
Posted by Lyrhawn (Member # 7039) on :
We have divisions in one of my other leagues as well. It has its plusses and minuses. The problem is that the divisions are horribly unbalanced. We play everyone in our division twice and once in the other division. A lot depends on the honesty and skill of the league manager in that situation.
Posted by Papa Moose (Member # 1992) on :
But how could you prevent horribly unbalanced, if everyone is drafting a team? Or is it a skill/experience-of-manager thing? Y'know, like one division benefits because they have an 8-year-old as one of the managers?
Oh, wait....
Posted by Lyrhawn (Member # 7039) on :
Well, in my league, the same four people are terrible every year. And 3 of them are all in one division. It's just too lopsided. You'd think that it would shift and some years you'd get lucky and some years you wouldn't. But that's not how our league works.
Also, we have a nine year old in our league. She's a badass.

Any last minute additions, now is the time, as it is the last minute.
Posted by Lyrhawn (Member # 7039) on :

Can't survive many bad calls like that.

Heartfelt sympathies to the Civic Minded Five on a score that would have beat 75% of the teams this week, and would have been the second highest if not for two players on bye week.

Thanks Kwea!
No offense PM, but I'm rooting for the Gamblers.

You and everyone else. And no offense to you, but I'm rooting for Vash. (And none to Lyrhawn, but I'm rooting for the Ketchups, too.)

So am I.
On principle, I can't root against ketchup.
Of course, that won't stop be from trying my hardest. Posted by Papa Moose (Member # 1992) on :
Let's hear it for Doug Martin!!!

Even as a Vikes fan, I was impressed by Martin.
Ponder hurt my soul.
Posted by Papa Moose (Member # 1992) on :
Mooselet's opponent had Martin on the bench. Mooselet is still the underdog, but that score would have made it feel like it was over before it started.
Posted by Papa Moose (Member # 1992) on :
Stone, sorry I didn't think to say it earlier, but Superstation has another football game (could be his last this year) at Rio Mesa tomorrow morning at 8:00.

We were gone all day -- after Superstation's game at 8:00, we headed to Magic Mountain for a few hours before Mooselet's game in Santa Clarita at 4:00. And Sundays are always packed. Both kids finished their seasons today, though, so Saturdays will definitely free up a bit.
Posted by Stone_Wolf_ (Member # 8299) on :
Congrats PM...looks like you alone will sit atop the standings.
Posted by Papa Moose (Member # 1992) on :
Well Mooselet sure left a lot of points on his bench -- he sat the Chargers DST, who scored 29 points. Houston could still beat that, though....
Posted by Papa Moose (Member # 1992) on :
The aggressive brashness gave way to the eight-year-old-ness after tonight's loss. Tears were shed. We had to get back to the "I'm just gonna have fun" concept.
No, I'm not trying to get anyone to go easier on him lest they make an 8-yr-old cry.
His birthday is in a couple weeks. If it weren't for the fact that he would see it, I would consider changing the team slogan from "Watch your language. I'm eight." to "I'm nine now. Go <blank> yourself." But it wouldn't be funny for long enough.
Posted by Lyrhawn (Member # 7039) on :
Well, he should keep in mind that he's still in first place.
And a scoring correction in his favor could still give him a win.
Posted by Papa Moose (Member # 1992) on :
Yeah, he knows he's still in first. I think he wanted the medal for five wins in a row. Well, and he wanted to win. He's feeling a little extra bad because I gave him every opportunity to play Leshoure instead of Bradshaw.
I suppose more stat corrections could happen, but we already picked up two points on those yesterday -- wasn't really counting on more.
Mooselet, who mathematically is not out but realistically is, won by two this week. Bittersweet.
Posted by Kwea (Member # 2199) on :
Good game though. I wasn't sure I would pull it off! I lost MJD, one of the players had a concussion and never scored a point, and then Bryant did his usual vanishing act and scored less than 2 points. (why he is on the CAN'T CUT LIST I WILL NEVER UNDERSTAND)
See you in the playoffs (I hope)
Posted by Stone_Wolf_ (Member # 8299) on :
Is anyone else in utter shock with Doug Martin? 52 points? 272 yards and 4 TDs?!?!?
I don't even feel bad for losing to that.
Posted by Kwea (Member # 2199) on :
I thought Leshoure had a good game, until I saw that. D
Posted by Lyrhawn (Member # 7039) on :
Played Leshoure in one of my leagues and ended up with my first ever tie. He's struck gold twice now. Why the Lions all of a sudden keep deciding to run first is beyond me, but I'll bet it's forcing Megatron owners to gather their pitch forks.
Posted by Papa Moose (Member # 1992) on :
Mooselet played Leshoure in his league, but he also has Stafford and Johnson, so Johnson TDs still would have been worth more (since presumably Stafford would have thrown them).

I have to admit that we were hoping you'd lose out on that one, but that's because we hadn't won our game yet, and still wanted first seed. Von Miller gets player of the game, though.
Superstation thanks you all for a lovely regular season.

Kwea on the other hand had a nice dramatic last minute comeback.

Poor Superstation -- he had Brown active this week. Not a very good start.
Posted by Kwea (Member # 2199) on :
AJ Green did decent for him though. Not his projected, but better than most of mine usually do. Posted by Lyrhawn (Member # 7039) on :
The score correction gods will play a powerful role tonight.

Good thing my opponent didn't show up to play this week...four players out, one in IR... Posted by Papa Moose (Member # 1992) on :
I think we already got all the stat correction help we're gonna get -- we gained five points on defense after the players' games were over (and even if we got some more help, Kwea still has a player tomorrow night). A couple mistakes on lineup, but can't be too awfully disappointed in the team as a whole. Pretty much no way we were going to overcome the 40 point deficit in RBs, though. Well played, Kwea, and good luck in the finals.
Superstation will be disappointed, of course -- nobody really likes to lose, except that girl on the Capital One commercials -- but leading the pack for nearly the whole season on his first time playing in a fantasy league? I think he did pretty well. He might not want to return, though -- we're talking about doing just a family league, and we might have to limit him to one league a year for a while. Kinda obsessive about football, my kids are.

Kwea's outscored me the last seven weeks.
The writing might be on the wall for the finals.
Posted by Kwea (Member # 2199) on :
GG, Papa. I would have traded the win for the Pat's showing up in the first half though. We basically gave them the game in the first half.
Posted by Lyrhawn (Member # 7039) on :
A good start to the weeks games. =)
Posted by Kwea (Member # 2199) on :
LOL.....0.9 points from the highest scoring TE in the league this year? Gonzales may have cost me the championship. Posted by Kwea (Member # 2199) on :
Might be a blowout in progress...
Posted by Papa Moose (Member # 1992) on :
There a reason things haven't finalized? Superstation wants his trophy for Christmas, even if it's only third place.
Posted by Lyrhawn (Member # 7039) on :
Does Kwea have to have release the trophies or something? Because the win/loss part looks finalized from the look of the standings.
Posted by Kwea (Member # 2199) on :
Nope. Yahoo releases it.

Official congrats to Lyrhawn -- you put the pedal to the metal when it counted. Also to Kwea for a solid second place.
And, of course, Superstation now wants his extra medals, too. Dang kid.
He doesn't know if he's gonna play again next year -- we're talking about a family league, and Mama is already concerned (read: upset) about how much time this takes, so two teams might be a deal-breaker.
Anyone taking part in playoff fantasy? We played last year at cbssports (and Superstation won that one, too, with my younger brother coming in a close second).
