Great stuff, but yea, do it Better PPR play Smallwood or Clement? I'm in on Smallwood this week, but probably biased since he is a Mountaineer. Unrelated, I had the good fortune of picking up Greg Olson as a FA. Now I have Jordan Reed and Olson racing to see who can hit the DL first.

nonniey Posted October 12, 2018 Author Share Posted October 12, 2018 Well got absurd offers of Hogan for Reed or Corey Davis for Gronk. I countered with Crowell, Reed and Watkins for Adams. (Situation is he has no TEs and only Barkley and Cohen at RB, Watkins would become his #2). I thought that was a strong proposal that basically was weighted in his favor. He said the offer was lopsided in my favor. Just doing an azimath check with the board am I the problem here? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gibbs Hog Heaven Posted October 12, 2018 Share Posted October 12, 2018 Patting myself on the back for choosing Clement over Smallwood off waivers. Just might have found a solid RB2 going forward. Hail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesMadisonSkins Posted October 12, 2018 Share Posted October 12, 2018 In my 2nd league my wife's cousin spend 2 hours last night trying to convince me to trade him DJ and Mixon for Saquan. Half PPR and I have DJ, Mixon, Gordn, Ingram ... and can only start 3 between RB and Flex. I was about to pull the trigger, and then Saquan broke the long run and he pulled it! Not sure if I should have done it or not but was loving the idea of Gordon and Saquan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chew Posted October 12, 2018 Share Posted October 12, 2018 Just a reminder of how annoying fantasy football is.... Dude in 1st place in one of my leagues has 683 points scored, 5-0, 1st place. There's a dude with just 2 less points, 681, who is 1-4 and tied for next to last place. Brutal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guy in my league won the semi-finals a couple years ago on a last-second worthless pass to Tim Hightower as time expired. Half PPR league and I think it was an 18 yard catch as time expired and Saints were down multiple scores. The guy won by like .2 on a 2.3 point play. Another year, a guy lost by 1 point on a 53 yard FG as time expired (had been down 4 points). You can put all the work in the world into your team and have a stacked team at the end of the year, but a fluky performance can be your undoing. Another instance is a couple years ago a guy in my league started out 0-7. He ran the table to finish 6-7 and get the #6 seed. He beat the #3 seed who had a really good consistent season and was 3rd in total points with a 9-4 record. Then he went on to win in the semi-finals and beat the #2 seed who was 10-3 and 2nd in points. I put an end to his run (also 10-3, tops in points) barely eeking him out by like 3 points to take home $800. The dude almost won the title over 3 very good teams because he got hot and had some good WW adds late in the season. He was 0-7 and was 4 points away from winning 9 in a row and taking the title lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We changed our league so that the team that scores the most points makes the playoffs. We have 3 divisions. Each of the division winner goes to the playoffs. It used to be the team with the next best record. This year, it is the team with the highest season point total that didn’t win their division. I’ve heard other leagues doing this as well. It rewards good teams that maybe had bad luck in matchups. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoulSkin Posted October 12, 2018 Share Posted October 12, 2018 Last year in our league a guy who auto-drafted, and didn't even start paying attention until around week 8, won the whole damn thing. His team sat there with guys on bye weeks in his lineup and he was still winning due to down weeks for other guys, or someone on his roster going ham. In the league, it's a tossup between me and one other guy usually dominate in the regular season, and usually both end up with points totals far higher than everyone else. In 8 seasons, I won the whole thing twice, and him once. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you win you get 2 points then if you are in the top 4 scoring teams you get 2 pts, middle 4 scoring teams get 1 pt. I'm 1-4 in one league but am sitting at 7 pts which keeps me in range of the league leaders. BTW I need that azimuth check on whether I'm out of line or the other guy is out of line on my offer of Crowell, Watkins and Reed offer for Adams (Guy has only 2 RBs - Cohen and Barkley and no TEs).

Seems fair to me, but trading can be difficult if someone sees value completely differently. I don't think Crowell is great, but he's probably better than Cohen, and if he has no TEs, adding Reed seems like that makes it a good deal. Watkins is also going to have big weeks. Seems like he thinks Adams is some kind of stud he can't bear to lose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How would you have known, though. I probably would've sat him too. Jeffery is one of the biggest no-show WRs in fantasy half the time, he disappoints more often than not.

I saw a few experts that thought that Jenkins covering him, and them being generally better at covering outside receivers, + the their tendency to funnel targets to the middle of the field, made Aghlor and Ertz more likely to do well., and that it would be a down week for Alshon. That first TD was just a scrambling off-schedule thing and the second one was an inside screen from the 1 yard line. It made perfect sense to sit him this week, but you can't predict everything.

That can't be a Yahoo format though, right? Is that a manual tracker? I'd love to implement that in my league but it's a long-term Yahoo league and we are pretty happy with the format otherwise.

Bacon Posted October 12, 2018 Share Posted October 12, 2018 Decided to start CT over Alshon for flex (I'm in a PPR and every CT catch is money in the bank) and it looks like I may have made a bad choice. Oh well. It's not the worst thing in the world to have players producing from the bench because at least they're setting themselves up for more touches as the season goes on.
