You Snooze, You Lose
While the rest of the league slept on Travis Kelce, The Moo Cows pounced on him at pick No. 179.

Single Serving
By choosing only a single TE (Travis Kelce) and DEF (Houston), The Moo Cows elected to add depth elsewhere on the roster.

A Stretch of the Imagination
Grabbing Travis Kelce at pick 179 was, let's say, conceptually adventurous. Kelce is owned on just a handful of teams across all Yahoo! leagues.

Mr. Irrelevant
In terms of projected points, the choice of Travis Kelce with the 179th pick gave The Moo Cows the worst pick of the final round. This Mr. Irrelevant gets no parade, unfortunately.

this was gamsimbre final pick and final pick of our draft. it made me smile

I'd start johnson since floyd won't win it for you. You got better odds stafford gets injuried and Orlavsky throws johnson the ball

The most sure thing you got is that calvin will score alot, go with the sure thing over a risk in fantasy. After all you may loose other weeks and need calvins points even more to make up for them.

week 1 < rest of season. I'd afford the loss

Considering Andre Ellington's situation I am really glad I made that Frank Gore draft pick. I thought picking RBs heavy early was bad when i saw WR options i had during/after the draft but looking at things now and considering my yahoo draft rating, I'm really glad i did what I did

Gore and forte's byes are 8 and 9. Ellington's is week 4. He should be 100% by gore's bye week

Brandon cooks and Wallace should work with Allen as my receiving options

personally I prefer and am more used to espn. easier to find a flex than a wr3. Part of why I selected gore was I anticipated needing a flex

I think yahoo made an error. Minesota's defense made a TD against St. louis's offense and they are counting that against Stl's defence and thus I am loosing a point while my player is not on the field. where do I go to tell yahoo a player not on the field can't loose a point

Kind of annoying but I've had players or D/STs get dinged for many things that weren't their fault before. Think of it as the offense becoming special teams after the turnover if you want, but those are the rules.

the old yahoo league I was in says its got to be against the defence. Did yahoo change it recently?

Also stat corrections said -1 sack. How do you loose a sack?

I'm fine with loosing if its by like 1.0 but 0.1 when yahoo does crazy stuff after the game, that bothers me

I think you usually lose a sack if it is deemed as a rushing attempt by the QB. You'd have to watch the play to see why but it looks like Cassel has been credited with an extra rushing attempt, so that's where it's gone.

That is really messed up. I pretty much just lost the worst way possible, after the game by 0.1 thanks to some really weird stat correct. Does that rams player now loose a sack for his career? Did Minnesota defense get that touchdown or were they then considered the offense?

I feel like i was vanilla and then recruited into the cult via mod error. I'd have been better off if I played no one as defense. Leave that goal empty

PokerFace · Post Post #432 (isolation #30) » Thu Sep 11, 2014 1:52 am

i may be off base on the touchdown being counted against me

34-6 = 28 which i'm not sure if that changes things or not can't recall pts against brackets off hand

But Cassel getting an extra rushing attempt, I want to see the tape because if he makes no forward progress and pumps the ball, its a sack. Dodging =/= rushing attempt

PokerFace · Post Post #434 (isolation #31) » Thu Sep 11, 2014 2:07 am

well i can't find a tape of it but nfl stats say cassel has 5 rushing attempts for -3 yards. -3yard dodge =/=rush thats alot of bull shit

I found a tweet saying that Cassel just got a pass off before Quinn caught him. However, the play-by-play lists Ogletree and Dunbar as getting a joint sack on Cassel, so I assume that's what got taken away as Quinn doesn't seem to have been credited at all. This suggests that the Ogletree sack was from a mishandled snap, and the stat corrections say that Cassel was also credited with a fumble recovery, so perhaps the snap was fumbled, he never had a chance to pass and Ogletree/Dunbar tackled him as soon as he recovered. I believe in that case, it can't be a sack because he didn't have possession, just a fumble recovery and a tackle.

this is why the stat correction occur so i will accept it but still don't like it. Yahoo needs to update every page they got and not just some

violation of contact rules these days and yet I swear there are more injuries than ever. Are the players hitting harder in general? Are teams

As I only need a few points from him I should still be good there though. Basically as long as he gets 50 yards or a TD I win.

I could use it though, I have TEs that score!

I won't need one of those 3 after week 9 as all their bye weeks will be gone. so someone with wr's that needs rb may want to speak with me in L3 after week 9

Can we choose to not run default next year and run with flex?

Yahoo doesn't just have issues with waivers it has issues with weekly projections. They are very much over the top. I have been projected to be 98-102 every week and only avged 82 all season. If projections were always right I'd be #1 in the league.

Its a projection, not a prediction. It's probability based. Every week players are projected to score like 0.7 TD's. All that is is the mean of whatever probability distribution yahoo uses.

I realize that. Still ESPN, NFL, and all other sites I go to give .00 projections for kickers and defense because they are smart enough to realize there will never be any .XX for those 2 possions by default league settings

side note:
This is the first week all year I have exceeded projections and actually done stupidly well. I got 136.44 points this week. Had I made all the right starts I would have about 162.

hey what decides waiver order? Looking at it this week and comparing it to the start of previous weeks it appears that your rank decides it in L3. If you are 1 you are 12 on waiver and if you are 12 you are 1.

Shouldn't it have been based on draft position week one and then based on how many pickups you have had so far every week after that? Bert has picked up at least 1 new player every week off waiver, 50 total. How is he not got a high waiver number?

I am more acustomed to the rolling list and assumed we had been using that up until it became impossible so I did math over past 2 weeks to figure out what we were doing

In general this league has been different than all leagues i have ever been in so adjusting a new strategy just for this league is not something i want to do but something i will have to do to have a chance next season

I recall both me and bert mentioning suprise in the draft room about their being 3 wrs and no flex. I think there were 1-2 others surprised

I can see how its competativly fair. But I'd rather have the rolling list. This standings based waiver order is something no one you can really strategize for. Rolling list requires some strategy about waiting the right time to pull the trigger. This form of waiver wire favors who sucks at just the right time. You suck yet you have luck. And if you are awesome and don't need anyone and then your best players goes down to injury, you will not get a shot at a decent replacement even if you have not needed to make a move all year

Next year I absolutely want Rolling list. If I can't have flex, at least give me rolling list

Why is Denard Robison of Jacksonville a WR and a RB on only Yahoo? I got him in my NFL.com league and my espn league and he is considered only a RB in those leagues. Had I known he was gonna be both here that would have given him alot of value. He had some good games excluding last 2 weeks

WRs are stetched thin in WR 3 leagues. RBs more often get more points than WRs. I can see where flex position could lead to RBs getting stretched thin even though they seem to come out of the woodwork as the season progresses and people get injuried and new people get started. (points at denard, CJ Anderson, Mason, Jerrick Mckinon, Gray/Blount, Rainey/Sims, Dixon, Crowell, Latvarius Murray, and Forsett to some extent as no one drafted them). Drafting WRs early definitely looks ideal for yahoo leagues

Has anyone ever tried a league where flex means WR or TE but not RB?

Also had I beat Juls or gotten one other win I was not screwed out of (Aronis plays IAs and wins by very little), me vs gamsimbre next week would decide who would win our division

PokerFace · Post Post #962 (isolation #111) » Mon Dec 01, 2014 3:47 am

Wraith clinched L3 D3 a long time ago

Gamsimbre has clinched L3 D2.

(Aronis would have to come from behind on me. Gamsimbre would have to loose next week and Aronis would need to win and get 176 more points than gamsimbre next week. So its safe to say gamsimbre has that division)

Reinoe plays Flameaxe next week. Both in running for L3 D1 crown and wild card.

Winner will get that division

Jahudo can steal the wild card from that game's looser with a win (should flameaxe loose) or with a win and 20+points more than reinoe (should reinoe loose)
If Jahudo Looses, then both Flameaxe and Reinoe will make it in. Flameaxes point total is too high for Jahudo to logic match in a situation where him and flameaxe both loose

If gamsimbre beats me, I want him to win it all in L3. If I beat him, I want Flameaxe to win it all in L3. If gamsimbre looses and Flameaxe does not make it in then Cleveland Rocks go Jahudo!

I don't care if we do 10 or 12 teams next year. I would like kicker to stay as field goals are important in real games. Waiver can NOT be based on record next year in L3 or any League next year. That needs to die! Rolling needs to happen and I wish it had been caught before the season started

The importance of a Kickers yearly fantasy points when compared to other kickers is small BUT the importance of a kicker in real football and in individual real games is pretty big considering how many games are decided by field goals or extra points. This is why I'd like to keep the kicker especially since our league uses matchups and schedules. If our league was a points only league (no games most points all year wins) then I'd agree to getting rid of the kicker. And I probably would not have joined that league in the first place as leagues where only total yearly points matter can get boring as there is less trash talk, excitement, chance any one team will actually moment a comeback mid season. You can successfully guess that kinda leagues winner pretty easily

That amount of points is completely doable yet yahoo says Reinoe has already clinched. We should have 3 teams fighting for 2 spots

If reinoe looses to flame and jahudo wins with 17 points more than reinoe, how would Jahudo not be in and Reinoe be out? Jahudo is 8-5 and Reinoe is currently 9-4. They would both be 9-5 with these results and be 5-1 division wise. And Jahudo beat Reinoe during the year in their only matchup. So I fail to see how Reinoe is currently clinching. Can some explain why to me?

ok that division thing is wierd shit. Flame is 3-2 divisionwise. if Flame beats reinoe his division record will be worse reinoes 4-2 < 5-1

That would be a valid problem and argument against it

From my point of view then flex where its WR/RB/TE and no WR3 still feels most preferable. RBs have most value and will be more often used but they won't always be used or stretched thin when you consider how many serviceable WRs there are, how many Rbs come out of the woodwork via injury, new RB starters, or legal disputes or bigtime players (Looks angrily at Adrian Petersen and Rey Rice)

I also feel Flex no WR3 encourages more intelligent drafting and waiver adds. And a lesser likelihood 1 injury ends you season. It will take more than 1

How one would ideally play a yahoo default league is different than ideally playing other leagues

There are definitely more starting-calibre WRs than RBs.

Me playing with PPR may also be why more RBs become servicable and WR points become more comparable

I recognize NFC South sucks but in normal football rules, they are still seeded above wild cards. Yahoo your defaults are crazy messed up again

The fact Jahudo got more points than reinoe makes that chart even more goofy.

gamsimbre should be 2
Renoe should be 3
Flameaxe should be 4

Someone needs to tell me why yahoo goes against real football rules and decides who makes playoffs by real football rules, BUT decides their seed based on points. Thats is dumb

PokerFace · Tue Dec 09, 2014 2:37 am

I prefer real football way because that's how real football works.

What bothers me is they are using 2 ways. 1 to decide who gets in and 1 to decide who is what seed.

Pick 1 and stick with it. Don't use 2!

By using two ways you are taking 1 step forward and 1 step back because statistically the 5th seed is better than the 4th seed. Top 4 go to one playoff and next 4 should go to another playoff. If they ultimately wanted points to decide top 4 then we should not have had divisions in the first place. Either have divisions and use them or have only record+points. You should not have both

I prefer divisions due how real football works and how schedules have divisions play each other play twice while you play everyone else once

BUT I am not against getting rid of divisions and using record and score only. Both methods do have their merits.

I mainly just have qualms with doing 1 and then doing another. As long as we stick with 1 way only, I'm fine with whatever

I don't follow NBA that much. Their way of doing things is not bad

But as Flamaxe is seeded above Reinoe

And Reinoe won flameaxe's own division

I still don't like these yahoo rules

No wild card should be the 2 seed while their division winner is the 4 seed

yay its fitting I have run into you in the consolation. I probably will get Juls next week

If you want to start Johnny then you are welcome to. But if I were you I'd use stafford

PokerFace · Thu Dec 11, 2014 7:58 am

Ok Yahoo fantasy projections say Manziel should outscore Stafford. I'd like to revisit my earlier argument that Yahoo's projections are the worst fantasy projections and state this as further evidence

PokerFace · Sun Dec 14, 2014 4:13 pm

And of course my team overperforms for only the second time this season now when i am in consolation bracket

PokerFace · Mon Dec 15, 2014 2:41 am

My QB situation this year was mediocre to sometimes below and my WR situation was sub par as well this year

At start of year I had choice between Foles and Cutler in the draft. I grabbed foles and reinoe grabbed Cutler on the next pick.

Kinda wish I had got cutler so that would have been above mediocre but don't know how else i would have done

Still want winner of Flameaxe and Gamesbre to win it all

As seed 8 I am likly to be jahudo as I am up by 40 with some people on my team yet to play. Ingram won't be able to get 40-60 points

Titus or Juls will face me for 5th

PokerFace · Tue Dec 16, 2014 3:23 am

After lst weeks semis, League 3 finals are...

Wraith vs Flameaxe for 1 and 2
Reinoe vs Gamsimbre for 3 and 4
PokerFace vs Juls for 5 and 6
Jahudo vs Titus for 7 and 8

9 = Aronis
10 = Bert
11 = Death Note
12 = Micc

PokerFace · Tue Dec 16, 2014 3:40 am

Yahoo weird seeding had semis:

Wraith vs Reinoe
Flameaxe vs Gamsimbre
and that will be followed by
Wraith vs Flameaxe for 1 and 2
Reinoe vs Gamsimbre for 3 and 4

Proper seeding would have had

Wraith vs Flameaxe
Reinoe vs Gamsimbre
and that will be followed by
Wraith vs Reinoe for 1 and 2
Flameaxe vs Gamsimbre for 3 and 4

PokerFace · Sun Dec 21, 2014 6:08 am

. I hope its a defensive battle.

My situation is simular to nero's

really wish i had remembered the saturday games. Or started Ryan Tanehill over Flacco. Tanehill did real good today

NFC south will have a below 500 team in playoffs. And eagles will miss the playoffs.

I had a feeling IND would loose to Dallas. IND clinched their division while Dallas still had alot to play for. I expected starters to sit and backups to play but did not think bricks would be shit like that

GG everyone. Hope to have fun with you all next year

PokerFace · Tue Dec 23, 2014 3:18 am

PokerFace · Mon Jan 26, 2015 10:36 am

And odd thought dawned on me today. What draft pick position did each league winner have?

Tally of league 1 had 12

Flameaxe of league 3 had 3

Who won 2 and what pick did they have?

PokerFace · Mon Jan 26, 2015 10:39 am

panzer of 2 had 10th pick

I was wondering if there was any pattern and there appears to be none. Which is good and what I was expecting.

Had there been a pattern I would have been surprised
