Scumleague FF 2015 (Locke, Yiley, TD37!)

If you think it's over when you're two games back of the wildcard with a higher points total and 7 to play, I don't really know what to tell you. Kmd was three out with three to play last year and still made it. Tally went from a sure-fire playoff team at 6-0 to a shaky 6-5 and I believe didn't clinch until Week 13. Barring a strange sequence of events, I should be 7-0 and I'm not taking the playoffs for granted.

Also, I don't think I'm just speaking for myself when I say that having bye weeks during a regular fantasy season that's this short sounds very dull.

Actually, you're right, those BYEs would be dull. I rescind my suggestion. I'm just bitter. Considering our relative schedules, I do honestly think I'm out of contention.

I'm stupid deep at WR at the moment. If you have an elite WR1 in League 1 but lack other good WRs, we can make a deal. I wouldn't mind doing something like Emmanuel Sanders, Jeremy Maclin, and Eric Decker for an elite WR1.

Definitely a terrible week for me

Ironic because my pay league team DESTROYED

I think I get through bye with the lion share of my team after this week. Let's get a run going!

Or maybe not, after Rivers turned around a 2 fantasy point first half to end with 27 points, while Eli Manning only went for 6 points on the night. I'm up 6.74 and have my kicker (Catanzaro; Cardinals) vs Agar's TE (Greg Olson). That could go either way, really.

GO GREG OLSEN!

I rest my case.

Nero Cain · Post Post #833 (ISO) » Sun Oct 25, 2015 1:09 pm

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.

Fair enough.

@Nero: Resetting waiver wires based on order makes it beneficial to lose games in some situations. That should never be the case.

This was at anyone, not just Lamora, fyi

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.)

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.

GG Rob. Eli shit the bed, and the Panthers didn't need Olsen tonight. Kickers can't get negative points so this makes the wild card hunt more interesting.

ISO · Post Post #838 (ISO) » Mon Oct 26, 2015 2:55 am

Maybe this is the week the Ravens put up 50....

PokerFace · Post Post #839 (ISO) » Mon Oct 26, 2015 3:22 am

I think I'm about to be 3 seed with division lead while Wraith is going to be 2 seed as wild card after this week. Wraith and I are in same division so saying that feels wierd

I'm 1-0 in the division and he is 2-1 So I think that's what is going to happen

Olsen has been really weird this year. You almost can't not start him because he's had huge games and most of the others are no worse than average, but he has a very low floor (as he always has). Tough player to have on your team because they can either make or break your week.

We're still well within a stat correction, so I'm hoping my kicker does something to cement things. Less out of it than I thought I was.

Zachrulez · Post Post #841 (ISO) » Mon Oct 26, 2015 3:35 pm

Oh dang it my lead isn't safe. Can people stop scoring near 100 points everytime? Can't I get a guy that can't hit 50 one of these weeks?

...CAN'T I?

Wraith · Post Post #843 (ISO) » Mon Oct 26, 2015 4:02 pm

MRW I'm 6 points short of a Monday Night Miracle and the Cardinals pull Chris Johnson and then Carson Palmer gets another goddamn touchdown

I got into league 2 and didn't truly deserve it as I was 6th in league 3 last year.

Has a player bumped up to a new league because of participants loss, ever done well in said new league?

I'm probably jinxing it saying that, but honestly I would be satisfied with 4th place overall (Not getting bumped to L1 at years end) because that would at least prove I deserved to be here

Yiley · Post Post #845 (ISO) » Tue Oct 27, 2015 1:10 pm

Are you saying you have supreme confidence that you will beat me? You seem to just be ruling me out, poker.

Zachrulez · Post Post #846 (ISO) » Tue Oct 27, 2015 1:37 pm

Out of the relegation zone! Yay!

2012 I finished 9th in L1, but didn't relegate and finished 2nd in 2013. Lost to tally in title game

nah. I am just pleased with how well I'm doing compared to my 6-8 last season. Doing well in playoffs is only reason I got 6th

Rob14 · Post Post #849 (ISO) » Wed Oct 28, 2015 6:55 pm

So I have two kickers and two defenses on my team. What has the world come to?
