I'll scrape the bottom of the barrel at QB if I have to. Sucks that I ended up facing a top scorer on a week where my team actually didn't do that badly.

I wouldn't have made the trade in any other circumstance. You don't plan to have your QB injured only a few weeks in.

May I interest you in a gently used Carr?
That's the other reason I felt the need to trade for Palmer. In hindsight I should have used my waiver priority for Carr instead of Cruz.

So Jeffery is out again and I'm not willing to drop anyone to replace him. (Or rather risk anyone on my present team being picked up by someone else.) The leagues really need at least 1 IR slot.

The situation I am in should not be a tough decision. Teams should have the ability to field a full team without having to risk other elements of their team, particularly when they are going to replace their injured player with someone who is not as good generally. Having no IR just further punishes a team that is already having bad luck and being punished by being on the wrong end of injuries. (Just look at my record.)

Jeffery was noted as an injury concern as early as the second week in August. The fact that you burned an early round pick on him and are now paying for it is no one's fault besides your own. Leg injuries are one of the biggest long-term injuries for wideouts, and that's not new to this year.
We have six bench slots. That's more than most players will actually use. I'm capable of stashing Romo for god knows how many weeks (thanks whoever dropped him!) just because of that ridiculous size of our bench. It doesn't hurt me.
Draft smarter - best player available is only half the battle - context is everything.
Jeffery's injury issues weren't as big of a deal for me this week as opposed to the fact that literally every other receiving option on my bench was on bye.
It's actually Roethlisberger's injury that I'm more bothered by right now. I had an idea what kind of risk I was getting into with Jeffery even if I didn't expect it to be this bad.

At least things should get better for me from here. I was hesitant to drop my TE to fill my team this week, but having Barnidge now instead I don't think I'm going to be looking back on that decision with much regret.
If Jeffery and Ben can get healthy around the same time I could still maybe salvage this. Maybe.

only in hindsight?
The timing of our trade was poor for both of us as luck went injury prone for me and zach had to play mcfadden
(dion was on bye and millar played an early game in london, seriously why was a divisional rivalry fought accross the ocean) So we both had to scramble our rosters on sunday. I had to start bridgewater against denver which could have gone very bad for me)
I made the trade as I felt freeman was going to be good immediatly (not as good as he is but still good) and dion was on bye and I felt I didn't know what to expect for his workload given blounts return and Bellicheck's shrewdness. Figured he would be new shane vereen of patriots/ I also thought luck would be there for me and I really felt wierd sitting him as I felt i would regret it
I thought bridgewater would be good and still feel he will. Though I did drop him as Bortles is looking good and has alot of matchups coming where he will have to pass alot to give his team a fighting chance.
Zach said he made the trade as he needed a qb since his main one went down. I don't know how he felt about freeman or lewis
I think the trade was fair. Hindsight says you prob got the better end of the deal but no one had any idea that Freeman would be the starter once Coleman came back.
I actually had a pretty good idea what I had with Freeman. The problem for me was that I suddenly got desperate at QB. (The situation that prompted the trade was unique in going deficit at QB in a league that has a promotion/relegation system. If I wasn't under any threat of relegation, I would not have made that trade.)
In hindsight I probably should have just rolled with freeman and what I had, but having Lewis and a good backup qb won't hurt my team going forward, especially if I get Jeffery healthy.
@Nero: Resetting waiver wires based on order makes it beneficial to lose games in some situations. That should never be the case.
I prefer blind bid. Any kind of arbitrary waiver order is kind of blegh.
Not that any of the possible systems is patently unfair. (Also literally no one is going to intentionally throw a game for waiver priority.)
In post 833, Nero Cain wrote:I think my biggest problem (other than not drafting that well and having a shit schedule) is that I haven't been as aggressive on the waiver wire 'cause I hate burning my high waiver wire order. I wish we could do it more like auction and have it reset in order of our standings.
They're free agents once Wednesday hits unless they were recently waived. You can pick people up as free agents without burning your waiver priority. Sitting on a high waiver priority without using it though kind of defeats the purpose of having it.

I'd like to say I would have played Lewis over Miller if I'd bothered to check that there was a game on Thursday, but coming off the injury I don't think I would have risked it.

So my kicker ends up getting 21 points and the only reason I used that particular kicker was because my starting kicker was on bye. I'm just going to pretend like that was a masterful decision though.

If I wasn't bumped into league 2 I would have stayed in league 3 and had to fight for league 2. At least now I stay in league 2 unless i get regulated
Lost Alshon Jeffery this week and I was kinda set up for the last wave of byes. That one is a big ugh.
Winners and loosers of games are practically decided but final point totals are not
Zach and khan should have the same record after this week. The one with less points will be 9th and relegated, the other will be 8 and safe
It is completely possible that 3 of the players being relegated will all be from l2d1. PEG may be the only player to get out of the weakest division I have ever seen and he could go to league 1
So I come into this week in 8th, and fall to 9th on a win? That's really weird and demonstrates my earlier statement about winning when it doesn't matter.
I still like my idea. Instead of arguing in thread about pros and cons of blablittyblahblah, let's give power and glory to the winner. Want to change who we run things? Then win.
Winners change things. Losers gripe.
(is a griper who has barely managed to stay in L2 for another year.)
(L2 4 life!)
Well all I need is just for one of the people who qualifies for league two to not play again next year and I'll be back!
