Cash or Czech Posted December 18, 2015 Share Posted December 18, 2015 Do I do the unthinkable and bench Freeman and play Denard Robinson? Atlanta as a whole has just looked like shit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnnydollaz18 Posted December 18, 2015 Share Posted December 18, 2015 Off to a good start last night, got 65.3 points from Evans, Gurley, Martin and David. Albeit, 32 were from Evans on his own, Gurley had a decent game cause of the TD, I have a tough semi-final match-up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cash or Czech Posted December 19, 2015 Share Posted December 19, 2015 Gonna start Freeman. Also considering playing Robinson in my Flex over Amendola. Other options are Hurns, CJ Anderson and Bryce Brown. Anyone have any advice? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H-Dreamer Posted December 21, 2015 Share Posted December 21, 2015 Seems I will make the Final, best team in our league my opponent and everyone underperforms for him. :D Just some DB on both sides playing, I also have Cooks and a 26 point lead. Should be more than save. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnnydollaz18 Posted December 21, 2015 Share Posted December 21, 2015 Up exactly 61 points and the guy has Stafford, Hightower and Ansah, I imagine I should hold on and reach the finals. But with my luck, you never know. I'll be watching with caution Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cash or Czech Posted December 21, 2015 Share Posted December 21, 2015 40 points down thanks to playing Amendola over Robinson and David Brown going off in the Sunday night game. Guess I'll be in the battle for 3rd unless Golden Tate has the game of the decade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H-Dreamer Posted December 22, 2015 Share Posted December 22, 2015 Will play the 1st place team of my Divison (we have 2) in the Final. Played him twice in the Regular season and split those games. It's a bit of a coint toss this time too I guess, though I think he's the favorite to win it, as I've struggled a bit to score points during the end of the regular season and my core (Bengals) is playing a tough opponent.

Johnnydollaz18 Posted December 23, 2015 Share Posted December 23, 2015 Made the finals! Against my brother-in-law so we decided to split the 2400 dollar prize 1200 each, which I then split with my partner so take home $600 each. Well 400 since I never paid the league fee. Lol either way, succesful season! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cash or Czech Posted December 23, 2015 Share Posted December 23, 2015 I went from Bell, Freeman and McCoy as my RBs to Freeman, Bilal Powell and Denard Robinson in the finals...is Powell worth starting in this emergency? It's for 3rd place, and I don't really have another option. Bell on Detroit and Michael on Seattle are available as FAs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H-Dreamer Posted December 28, 2015 Share Posted December 28, 2015 Unless the Bengals blow out the Broncos tonight I won't win the Final. Won't even be close most likely. Too bad, but Brees and Hightower was too much to overcome, when the Panthers took the week off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnnydollaz18 Posted December 28, 2015 Share Posted December 28, 2015 I need the Broncos Defense to score 6 or less points to claim the trophy in the new league I joined. Though, we split the top 2 prizes, I want the trophy!! lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ranger Lothbrok Posted January 1, 2016 Share Posted January 1, 2016 Finally returned to the winner's circle this year. Was in 3 leagues, two of which had $100 buy-ins, the other $250 buy-in dynasty format. Won the dynasty format one and one other league. What's crazy is that I had never done an auction draft before, which is how we did the dynasty one since it was our first season doing it. I blew like $120 of a $200 auction budget on Le'Veon Bell and Andrew Luck. When the later rounds came around, I had to sit there and watch every good player go off the board without being able to bid anything higher than $1. The last 5 rounds of the draft were all me just tossing out $1 bids. One of those was Tevin Coleman, another one was Devonta Freeman, another one was Tyler Lockett. That team was, far and away, the WORST team I have ever drafted. I left that draft saying, "well at least I know what not to do next year." Yet inexplicably every week I played, my opponent had their worst week of the season. I had the lowest points for in the entire league and was in first place after 8 weeks. A typical weekly score in our format is 115. I'd get 90, my opponent would get 89. I lose Le'Veon Bell to injury, and I had dropped DeAngelo Williams once Bell came back. Andrew Luck wasn't doing dick. Somebody had dropped Doug Martin in like Week 3, so I had picked him up. I then pulled off a trade that sent Andrew Luck and Alshon Jeffery packing, and brought back Jordan Reed, Ryan Fitzpatrick and Russell Wilson (who had sucked at the time). Lo and behold, this is the final roster that ends up winning it all (0.5 PPR format): QB: Russell Wilson WR: Martavis Bryant WR: Tyler Lockett WR: Willie Snead RB: Doug Martin RB: Devonta Freeman TE: Travis Kelce WR/RB: James White WR/TE: Jordan Reed OP: Ryan Fitzpatrick BN: Donte Moncrief, Charles Sims, Jameis Winston, Cameron Artis-Payne, Melvin Gordon IR: Justin Forsett The best part about it is I can keep like half the roster because their auction/waiver prices were nothing. You can elect to keep a player for whichever is higher of their draft price or waiver wire price, plus $5. So Devonta Freeman will cost me $6 to keep. Doug Martin will cost me $11 to keep. Lockett will cost $6, Martavis Bryant $16, Jameis Winston $17, Melvin Gordon $13, Ryan Fitzpatrick $11, Jordan Reed $10, James White $6, Willie Snead $6, Donte Moncrief $6, etc.. I traded and added via the free agency just aiming to set up a dynasty roster, and inexplicably won a championship with a dirt cheap team in the process. The other league was just fucking silly. It was far and away the most stacked roster I've ever drafted, and over the course of the season I lost the following players: Tony Romo, Le'Veon Bell, Jamaal Charles, Arian Foster, and Justin Forsett. That's right. FOUR RB1s done for the season. Traded some WR depth, made some smart adds, won the championship regardless. Just craziness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlairBettsBlocksEverything Posted July 25, 2016 Share Posted July 25, 2016 Gearing up for another season of fantasy football. Looks like WR's are dominating the top of the draft boards this year. I think the RB-RB strategy is officially dead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rvbcaboose Posted July 25, 2016 Share Posted July 25, 2016 Only a few RBs are actually worth getting in the first 2 rounds, and one of them is now facing a 4 game suspension (again). I also think a few RBs are terribly overvalued. David Johnson and Zeke Elliot in the 1st? Lamar Miller in the 2nd? Fucking nuts. Meanwhile, Lacy has fallen into the 3rd and Langford has fell to the 5th or worse. Both are going to become my targets this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlairBettsBlocksEverything Posted July 25, 2016 Share Posted July 25, 2016 I think Lacy would be worth a 3rd round pick but idk if i'd want to make him my RB1. I also think that if you miss out on the top WR's there are solid options later (like a Keenan Allen) who could be WR1 candidates Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlairBettsBlocksEverything Posted August 29, 2016 Share Posted August 29, 2016 Did my first draft last night. 12 teams, .5 ppr 12 team .5 ppr QB: Cousins WR: Keenan Allen, Jeremy Maclin, Michael Floyd, Sterling Sheppard, Rishard Matthews RB: Ezekiel Elliot, Jonathan Stewart, Gio Bernard, Duke Johnson, Charles Sims, Alfred Morris TE: Gates K: Crosby DST: Rams Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cash or Czech Posted August 31, 2016 Share Posted August 31, 2016 10 team draft, PPR, pick #2 QB: Blake Bortles WR: Odell Beckham WR: Alshon Jeffery WR: Doug Baldwin RB: Doug Martin RB: Jonathan Stewart TE: Travis Kelce FLEX: Jeremy Langford BN: DeMarco Murray BN: Rishard Matthews BN: Emmanuel Sanders BN: Matt Ryan BN: Austin Sefarian-Jenkins BN: Pierre Garcon K: Mason Crosby D: Oakland I think I did alright.

Blue Heaven Posted September 14, 2016 Share Posted September 14, 2016 Its the worst when youre the 2nd leading scorer in the league and still lose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NYRangers92 Posted September 21, 2016 Share Posted September 21, 2016 So apparently one of the leagues I'm in is comprised of people who I don't think know what they are doing. This one guy is trying to trade Jordy Nelson and Brandon Marshall for Antonio Brown, so in his words he can get better production by picking up another D and TE. Like most leagues we can only start 1 D and we do have a TE flex but that would be a silly thing to do in a PPR league with tons of solid receivers this year. So of course I'm just gonna screw around and try to drive up this guy's price. I tentatively offered Brady, Evans, and Floyd/Cobb for Brown. If I lose out this guy makes his team worse probably and if I win I get Antonio Brown to go with Julio Jones and I'll laugh forever. Haha and it worked. He justed added Rawls to his offer.

fletch Posted October 25, 2016 Share Posted October 25, 2016 One of the best teams in the league has Roethlisberger... but is trading for Jameis Winston, and only is giving up Kenneth Dixon (RB-Bal). This is the first time I can remember vetoing a trade, but it will go through unless enough league members veto. Sucks since I'm in a good playoff position and it is a 25 dollar buy-in.

H-Dreamer Posted October 26, 2016 Share Posted October 26, 2016 So far this year my approach has been basically "hands off", I only switch injured and players on bye-week. Only week I did more thinking about my Lineup I lost. 5-2 in both my leagues now, despite glaring holes in my lineup, like having only 1 real RB in Forte. My main team probably isn't deep enough to win it all, but so far it's going nicely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fletch Posted October 26, 2016 Share Posted October 26, 2016 Glad that you are in playoff contention, H-dreamer, makes the fantasy season a lot more fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H-Dreamer Posted October 26, 2016 Share Posted October 26, 2016 I can't believe I am, cause my RBs are Forte, Matthews and that's it. Got some backup who I can plug in for Bye-weeks so I might get a point or two. But looking around the league, other teams aren't much better off. No one there to trade with. Plus I was pretty screwed over, since before the season started the engine for some reason decided I didn't need all the Keepers I wanted and dropped T.Y.Hilton. Since I forgot to post my Keepers on our Message Board, I was fucked. (still pretty pissed about that, after 10 years of playing together you'd think your Co-Commish would trust you more.) A losing season would certainly have killed my interest in staying in that league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fletch Posted October 27, 2016 Share Posted October 27, 2016 Yeah, I think I'm going to bow out of the Winston/Dixon league after five years. I only know the commissioner and his wife (no one else in the league) - I can keep up with those two in other ways. Other members are friends of his from Florida I've never met. Sucks when you feel like you've gotten screwed over by your league -sorry about Hilton Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H-Dreamer Posted October 27, 2016 Share Posted October 27, 2016 I think if it had happened earlier I would have dropped out immediately, but it was like 2 days before the Draft and I didn't want to leave 10 people hanging, while being pissed at 2-3 of them. Ironically it's the people I know in person from being on the same Team years ago (almost a decade now, time flies), I have no troubles with any of the others.
