Scumleague FF 2015 (Locke, Yiley, TD37!)

Rob14 · Post Post #1025 (ISO) » Mon Nov 23, 2015 6:17 pm

Everything about this week sucked for me.

Philip Rivers with no TDs? Check!
No TDs for any WRs or Gronk? Check!
Maclin continuing to underperform when I actually need him in my lineup? Check!
Adrian Peterson ending his hot streak? Check!

The only player who did what I needed them to do was Shaun Draughn, a last minute pickup to plug in at RB for one more week. Still, Agar dropped his game too, so I'm still in wild card contention.

Next week, I get Forte and Sanders back, most likely. That should give me a boost back to where I usually am.

revenge complete

Lost in two leagues, including this one, simply because I had to work Sunday. I'd have started Rawls if I knew Lynch was out. To make it worse, in the other league, I started Lynch and had Rawls on my bench. The last update I saw before going in to work was that Lynch was "on the probable side of questionable". Figured he'd play, but I knew it was a guessing game so I guess it's partially on me. Still though, if I guessed he was out, I don't think I'd start Rawls knowing he MIGHT play. I'd have to know and that just wasn't possible two hours before kickoff.

Thank. Fucking. God.

I was afraid Rob was going to win and then I was dead and buried. As it stands now, we both have a single week where we're probably fucked (him vs. Locke, me vs. BBM) if the season so far has been any indication. And then 2 weeks of lesser-ish teams. Hopefully my lesser-ish teams are worse than his. Praying for an upset in the final three weeks...

You could beat BBM and I could beat Locke. More importantly, you could pass me in points for; you're only 70ish behind after that last abysmal week. Unless one of us drops BOTH of the next two weeks, this is going down to the wire.

got lucky with that freeman concussion. looks like I'm in the best position to get that wild card at the moment, though pretty much everyone can still get there. If I can win the next two games and mith drops one, I could even get the division win! not bad for going 0-4 to start the season.

Spoiler: standings

Yeah, it's going to be a tight race to the finish.

That's not even mentioning that Tally, Zoraster, IS, and Panzer are all only a game behind of wild card btw. There are 8 legit playoff contenders with only three weeks to go, which is pretty exciting.

And then there's T-Bone.

Locke Lamora · Post Post #1033 (ISO) » Tue Nov 24, 2015 11:52 pm

Yeah, Week 11 was pretty much as bad an outcome as possible for T-Bone. No win, no points, and wins for all of the four win teams that he might have been able to overtake. I'm guessing the odds are going to come out at virtually 100%.

Voodoo and wild card are going to be pretty exciting, as are the other relegation spots.

Yeah, pretty much everyone is mushed up together in the middle, and I have no idea what's going to happen.

Eleven players are within two games of a playoff spot with three games to go in L3.

Also:

Birmingham Stallions clinches his division this week with a win and a Cutler's Last Stand loss.
TD37 clinches his division this week with a win and a Once on a Blue Moon loss (or a playoff spot with a win and a Gambling Apocalypse loss).
Reindeer clinches his division this week with a win and a Gambling Apocalypse loss (or a playoff spot with a win and a Once on a Blue Moon loss).

Jahudo is eliminated from playoff contention with a loss and a Once on a Blue Moon win or a Gambling Apocalypse win. No other player (save Yuriko's Inactive) can be eliminated from playoff contention this week.

I am struggling this week in one of my leagues with a tough choice.

I had some injuries and needed to patch things up. The question is who will do good? Right now, I really want to put Bradshaw in as my flex spot.

Kmd4390 · Post Post #1037 (ISO) » Wed Nov 25, 2015 7:57 am

Bradshaw at RB2. Moncrief at FLEX

Locke Lamora · Post Post #1038 (ISO) » Wed Nov 25, 2015 10:39 am

If West is out, stick with Ware. I might actually prefer Draughn over Bradshaw after that - he's the only back getting work in San Francisco, which doesn't mean much but it's probably more reliable than Bradshaw's workload. None of the receivers are exciting to me, I think I'd start all three of those RBs over them.

Rob14 · Post Post #1039 (ISO) » Wed Nov 25, 2015 8:34 pm

Ware and Bradshaw are the obvious choices, assuming Gore sits this week.

If Gore is in, then I'd go Ware and Draughn. Third-tier WRs in FLEX are best avoided unless you need a boom-or-bust when you're playing from behind.

Locke Lamora · Post Post #1040 (ISO) » Wed Nov 25, 2015 8:41 pm

Yeah, if Gore is out then Bradshaw is clearly a start too. All the information from the Niners suggested he wasn't going to miss a week, so I assumed Bradshaw would get less work.

Huh, seems my yahoo account has been stolen. Can't access it and account recovery sends it to an e-mail that isn't mine.

Nevermind.

Someone in the Wild Card race must have felt threatened.

I'll post league 2 scores from last week later tonight. I'm at relatives place for holiday and posting mobiley

Locke Lamora · Post Post #1049 (ISO) » Thu Nov 26, 2015 12:38 pm

Ran the odds again:

Playoff (I did come out at 100%, just to confirm that it works):
Mr Toad's Wild Ride 97.22%
Rob 69.76%
Heifer Skelter 42.02%
JPPs4FingaDethPunch 32.42%
Tally Whackers 29.96%
Mask of Zorotter 15.42%
Wrath of Romo 12.72%
Beavers Love Wood 0.42%
InstaGraham 0.06%

Relegation:
Bone's Scum 99.88%
KMD's Raiders 96.48%
InstaGraham 79.26%
Wrath of Romo 44.28%
Mask of Zorotter 36.82%
Tally Whackers 19.82%
Beavers Love Wood 16.34%
Heifer Skelter 7.08%
Rob 0.04%

Sadly, this was before AGar started taking T-Bone to town, so that 0.12% chance is probably no longer accurate.
