[Pleb]

Nah you can keep him.

[Browning]

Has Bruhnaldo shown up yet? Or Mert?

[bruhnaldo]

fuck i'm sorry guys, i had a holiday weekend and hadn't logged on

i haven't caught up on the thread yet but i'm willing to play in whatever capacity.

[bruhnaldo]

There were 2 errors
The league is not pre-draft.
The league is full.

God damnit.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

fuck i'm sorry guys, i had a holiday weekend and hadn't logged on

i haven't caught up on the thread yet but i'm willing to play in whatever capacity.

A team was made for you which was auto drafted.

Your team is:

Palmer, Winston
Martin, Hyde, Abdullah, Riddick
Nelson, Jones, Jackson, Shepard, White, Cooks
Eifert
Gano
Broncos.

[bruhnaldo]

Cool, thanks fellas. Sorry about the delay, I feel bad.


Edit: I made an NFL.com account under "Bruhnaldo" the same as here

http://www.nfl.com/fans/profile/Bruhnaldo

Just let me know what I need to do to jump in

[Browning]

Gray Fox will have to sort it out whenever he's on.

I'm guessing your first order of business will be to find a TE who isn't out for half the year.

[bruhnaldo]

My entire team is on the trading block as well.

[Pleb]

:D

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Pleb, a member of the KANSAS CITY CHIEFS, who you clearly have a boner for, for Dustbin Tucker?

[Pleb]

Do you fancy a wild RGIII for one of your QBs? :baz:

[Gray Fox]

Cool, thanks fellas. Sorry about the delay, I feel bad.

[Browning]

Dak Prescott is an upgrade on Alex Smith, right?

And assuming he is.... he should start for me week 1 over Rivers and Mariota, right?

He's been inexplicably cut, and I'm the 2nd waiver behind a guy with Rodgers, Brees and Dalton... so I'm confident I can nab him.

[Dan]

Pleb, who is Blake Bell, and why did you pick him up?

EDIT: Browning I'd say he's got a pretty decent chance at being an upgrade on Smith. The Giants were bad last year, although they could be a bit less awful now they've chucked a load of money at their defence, but that game should still be pretty high scoring, so he's definitely worth taking a punt on. Worst case scenario you'll probably be able to trade him to somebody after a couple of weeks if he does reasonably well.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

He's a TE for the Niners.

186 yards receiving last year with no TD's. Clearly a vital weapon in the Niners attack.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

He also picked up the Titans number 3 RB who looked dogshit last year during his brief time as a starter.

[Browning]

I don't pretend he's better than Rivers, but the Chargers lost to the Chiefs `10-3 and 33-3 in 2 games last year.... I'm just not confident in Phil this week whatsoever. For the season yes, this week.... ugh.

I'll roll with him if I have to, but I didn't expect Prescott to fall into my lap.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

I hate Rivers so I'm biased. Go for Dak.

[Gray Fox]

I'd be avoiding any QB going up against the Chiefs this season, unless they show me to do otherwise. I fancy them to steal their division this year.

Wentz is a risky shout. It'll be his first proper game, but he is up against the Browns at home.

[Gray Fox]

The first waiver date in my other league is tomorrow morning. At a glance there's a fair bit left there.

Graham Gano is still there so I'll be looking to swap Bailey. Both Bengals RBs are there too. I'll drop Woodhead for one of them, I'm just not sure which one to take. Hilton is still there in terms of WRs. With Crabtree, both Jacksons and Matthews still there. Kevin White in terms or a bigger risk. The only TE worth looking at is Witten but I'd rather risk Miller I think.

I think I'm happy just taking Gano and one of the RBs. I guess my question is, Hill or Bernard?

[Dan]

I got bored so I did a 'draft now' league & ended up with the first overall pick. Decided to try a slightly different approach & ended up with the following:

1 - Antonio Brown
2 - Brandon Marshall
3 - Le'Veon Bell
4 - Latavius Murray
5 - Andrew Luck
6 - Jeremy Langford
7 - Delanie Walker
8 - Marvin Jones
9 - DeAngelo Williams
10 - Kamar Aiken
11 - Allen Hurns
12 - Derrick Henry
13 - Stefon Diggs
14 - Eagles DEF
15 - Justin Tucker

Not as deep as my team for our league, but I won't have to put as much work into it either. Patriots defence is available so I'll probably pick them up & then I should be pretty much set to put fuck all effort in all season :D

First off, how are these players still available? Secondly, I'd take Hill.

EDIT: Can I just check how our league works in regards to locking players? If I select my team for Thursday can I then swap players in & out again for Sunday, and are the players in the Denver/Carolina game locked in place?

[Pleb]

My bench looks a bit wank but the kickers aren't going anywhere Mahow :harold:

[Gray Fox]

Players only lock once their game starts. For example, if you have anyone from Denver of Carolina, they will lock the minute the game goes live, but the rest of your team is still open to benching/trading/waivers etc.

[Dan]

That's what I assumed, just wanted to make sure before I fucked myself over, ta.

Might do another draft, actually.

[Baz]

Not playing my first round pick in the opening week is annoying, but has to be done. Other than, that I'm happy with my team.

Well except I want Gronk. Who ended up with him? I'm sure he went first round too, that's why I ended up with Elliott in the second.

[Browning]

He did, my mate got him.

Who was your first round pick and why aren't you playing him?

[Browning]

Oh it's Cam Newton....

I'd still start him I think. It's close between those two though, really close. At least Ben eliminates most of the threat of Antonio Brown, I guess.

[Dan]

Did another draft, and finished with the following team from pick 5:

1 - Todd Gurley
2 - Allen Robinson
3 - Keenan Allen
4 - Jordan Reed
5 - Andrew Luck
6 - Latavius Murray
7 - Randall Cobb
8 - Jeremy Hill
9 - Larry Fitzgerald
10 - Marvin jones
11 - Melvin Gordon
12 - Vikings DEF
13 - DeAngelo Williams
14 - Jared Cook
15 - Dan Bailey

Again, should pretty much be 'set it & forget it' each week.

Some notable strategies include the guy who took Eifert & no other TE, the guy who took Brady & no other QB, and also the guy who took both Brees & Wilson, who have the same bye week. Personal favourite, however, is the guy who took Newton, Gronk & Broncos DEF with nine WRs & only two RBs.

[Browning]

You love Marvin Jones, don't you?

[Dan]

I love the value of a potential #1 receiver that late. Similar deal for Melvin Gordon. Couldn't say no to DeAngelo at 13 either, even if i just start him for 3/4 weeks then try to trade him.

[Browning]

He's not because Tate is there, but he does have great potential. Couldn't believe how late I got him in our draft.

[Dan]

It could be either of them, really. Tate will probably get all the short stuff & screens, and Jones will probably get the stuff they used to have Calvin for. Either way he's potentially a flex play most weeks, especially since Detroit sucks & will probably be throwing loads.

[Browning]

So Jones will get all the long passes that hit a fan in the head, and Tate will always be wide open in acres of space but Stafford won't see him?

What have I drafted....

[Dan]

I have three words for you. Jim Bob Cooter...

[Browning]

And I have two words for you.... Matthew Stafford. :D

I'm sure he won't actually be that bad, but my God were they turgid shit at Wembley last year. Honestly think they could have picked any 30 fat blokes out of the crowd and they'd have given the Chiefs a better game.

[Browning]

The "Fearless Forecasts" videos basically implied I should be starting Rivers AND Dak and benching Palmer.

Yea... fuck off.

[Pleb]

:D

Horrendous bench aside I think I'm set.

[Gray Fox]

Got Geno and Hill. The only other waiver claim was Vinatieri being picked up by my opponent this week. Given the talent still out there I'll be aggressively chasing a TE from someone. A Patriots fan has Gronk so there's no way there unless I make him a crazy offer. I'm looking at Kelce for now.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Dynasty league will draft soon, my keepers are:

Mariota, Osweiler
Peterson, Anderson, Gordon, Michael, Ware, Hyde
Adams, Allen, Jeffery, R Matthews, J Matthews, Perriman
Williams
-
Seattle

Obviously need to draft at least one more TE (preferably 2), a QB, a K, a DEF and then some higher value rookies.

Loads of players still available but I haven't got a clue what rounds I actually have picks in.

[Gray Fox]

Do you just lose the pick for the round you took the kept player?

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

http://gifyu.com/images/2016-09-0718_21_22-DraftClient-2016FreeFantasyFootball-NFL.com.png

Seething that I missed out on Kenneth Dixon, I might try and trade for him.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Do you just lose the pick for the round you took the kept player?

No, I don't know what system it is. I think it might be where you placed your keepers in the list.

I had no idea this was the case though. The GM of the league put Gronk at the 25th so used his 25th round pick to keep him. I had a lot of my picks nearer the front end :moop:

[Browning]

That sounds like a ridiculous system, unless you have to keep players from the top (round 1) down. If that's the case it doesn't really matter who you put where.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

That sounds like a ridiculous system, unless you have to keep players from the top (round 1) down. If that's the case it doesn't really matter who you put where.

You can put them anywhere, it's stupid.

Can't use where you drafted them but just taking each player from the bottom rounds up. So if you have 10 keepers, you lose your last 10 picks.

I'm fairly happy with my team even though it could have been much better if I knew the system though. Probably wont challenge this year again.

[Gray Fox]

I got a resounding piss off from the Kelce owner and Ertz owner. They were the least savvy of the guys in the league so I think I could well struggle to trade for a TE.

[Browning]

Imagine being the guy who drafted Olsen and Walker :cool:

[Gray Fox]

I have Reed and Ertz in our league. Just not so much greatness going in at TE in the other one.

[Browning]

I wouldn't trade much for Ertz to be fair. He's usually pretty shit.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

He is, I think he might finally come good this year. Wouldn't bet on it though.

[bruhnaldo]

Why the fuck did you guys use nfl.com?

Stupid ass website says I'm not in any leagues whilst showing The Third Half tab just below my username.

I'm about to punt, pass, and kick my computer through a fucking window.

[Browning]

Yea it's awful. Should have just kept my league on yahoo like I said about 5 times :D

[Gray Fox]

bruhnaldo It does show you as having taken over. Try a mobile app see if it works?

In league news a guy with this team https://gyazo.com/a86e44a770de6558281f64466595740a.png wants Julio Jones off me. I was more than happy to have AJ Green as my WR 1, pre-draft so I wouldn't mind throwing Jones weight about.

The obvious player to pop out is Zeke Elliott. I'd love to bring him in. The only thing is, people in this league are a little off with how trades work. They were talking about offering a single TE for Jones and seem to think it only goes 1 for 1.

In my head I'm thinking of offering Jones for Elliott and Fleener(I really need a TE and despite reports that he isn't linking up well, he'll get plenty of chance with Brees). Considering they only seem to see trades as being 1 for 1 however, I'd probably have to give him an RB back. He's quite weak at WR but looks good at RB after Bell returns. I was thinking of chucking McCoy in the deal. I've still got Johnson, Miller, Foster and Hill so I can afford it.

Am I on the right track here or am I being mental?

[Browning]

Personally I wouldn't do that trade in your position, but it's not a million miles off.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Want another league but NFL's live draft lobby isn't working for me. Keeps saying that only 1 user is ready to draft :\

[bruhnaldo]

@Gray it worked at one point, that's the weird thing. Mobile is working fine for me though. May just be the work computer, not sure.

No excuses though, I'm totally (not) going to dominate this league.

[Baz]

Has Mert replied since the draft?

Are you pleased with your team? They're gonna lose the opening game though soz.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

On the board, yes.

In here, no.

Bishes before fantasy football.

[Gray Fox]

He's busy working his way through all our western women with his Alpha ways. I'm sure he'll fit us in somewhere.

[bruhnaldo]

I will never understand why you guys entertain that kid

[Bartholomert]

Has Mert replied since the draft?

Are you pleased with your team? They're gonna lose the opening game though soz.

Yeah I just logged in to look at my team. It's shit.

I'll update shit and work my waiver wire magic though once I get settled down into the semester.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Decided to take over a team in a money league. $5 and I was given this team:

http://i.imgur.com/hlEpJRd.png

The previous owner named it 'Teenage Mutant Bortles' and it's too good for me to change it even though Bortles isn't there.

[Pleb]

The draft now on NFL is now working Mahow.

I'm eighth pick :cab:

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

It is indeed :drool:

I'll wait, I ended up joining another league on ESPN which drafts soon.

I'm going to own every single outfield player across my entire leagues bar Dez Bryant :drool:

[Pleb]

Dez Bryant went round 2 in my draft.

Some muppet took Newton in the first round which is a bit :harold:

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

You're in no position to judge.

[Dan]

Should've taken Alex Smith.

[Browning]

"Teenage Mutant Bortles" is shit if there's no Ninja in there. Even shitter if you don't have Bortles.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

"Teenage Mutant Bortles" is shit if there's no Ninja in there. Even shitter if you don't have Bortles.

There is ninja in the name, not sure why I omitted it in my post. There is definitely no Bortles though.

[Browning]

Just about acceptable then.

[Gray Fox]

First match up of the season.

https://gyazo.com/b9c137075436e70da45cf2eec465760e.png

I'm gambling here, and against Mahow, that Matthews goes big against the Browns. A fresh faced rookie QB is going in, will likely be eased into it by handing the ball off a lot. Plus it's the Browns.
I really don't like Green going up against my own defence, but there's not a lot I can do. The only other defence this week is the Eagles that could get many points, but we have an entire new CB group so I'm not sure.

All of his receiving players have great match ups though and Williams tends to go mental when Bell isn't there. I'm expecting a close, but eventual loss.

[Pleb]

That guy who got Newton first pick has four defenses in that draft :D

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

7th in my next ESPN draft.

10th in the NFL draft now, ugh. Double picks then extra long waits again :(

[Pleb]

Some Random NFL League Squad

Russell Wilson (QB)
Jamaal Charles (RB)
Devonta Freeman (RB)
Jeremy Maclin (WR)
Tyler Lockett (WR)
Tyler Eifert (TE)
Justin Forsett (Flex)
Justin Tucker (K)
The Texans (DEF)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Big Ben (QB-Bench)
Cairo Santos (K-Bench)
Spencer Ware (RB-Bench)
Kamar Aiken (WR-Bench)
Will Fuller (WR-Bench)
DeVante Parker (WR-Bench)

I think I might have a chance here lads.

[Browning]

I'd probably go for the Eagles over the Jets this week in terms of DST, but what about the Packers? Bortles gets sacked for a living.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Not now that they've got Osemele, the bastards :(

http://nanonews.org/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/Kelechi-Osemele-To-Sign-With-T.jpg

Geezer is a fucking animal.

[Gray Fox]

7th in my next ESPN draft.

10th in the NFL draft now, ugh. Double picks then extra long waits again :(

I think I prefer being in the middle, 5th or 6th. The picks are generally obvious that way and there's always 10 picks between your own. It's easier to plan. Trying to predict who is safe to leave for 19 picks is a bit hard. You end up reaching a little.

My league may have thrown me a bone. The Rams and Bengals defences have both just been dropped. I may have to pick one up.

[Pleb]

I'd probably go for the Eagles over the Jets this week in terms of DST, but what about the Packers? Bortles gets sacked for a living.
Yeah the Packers got picked up in the 14th. The Eagles are available on the waiver's wire :serious:

Shall I bite?

Yep.

I try to go with at least one pick that I don't feel is a reach. Hard to judge though.

[Gray Fox]

Yeah the Packers got picked up in the 14th. The Eagles are available on the waiver's wire :serious:

Shall I bite?

We have the Browns and then @ Bears in the opening 2 weeks. If the defence can't pick up points there then it's going to be a fucking long season.

I've picked us up. RG3 was a pick machine before he took more than a season off. My 2nd best option is the Rams(@ SF) but due to my waiver pick ups earlier I'm back of the queue so there's not much point trying.

[Browning]

Gronk is a doubt for week 1. :D

If he goes down then me having the Arizona defense in 2 leagues could be massive. Garropollol with no Gronk. :drool:

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

http://i.imgur.com/Ekjll47.png

Not too shabby.

AJ Green and Ezekiel Elliot as my first 2 picks was pretty swish. QB's went fast though so I'm happy that I got the two I got in the 9th and 10th rounds.

Some guy going for Brother Eli, Lee Smith (a TE for the Raiders apparently) and Broncos as his first three probably had a stroke but recovered for the fourth round.

[Gray Fox]

I see a lot of Bortles here. I was going to leave it til late and pick him up in the work draft, but talked myself out of him. I figure Jags had a shit D last season so he was always throwing from behind/in garbage time. This year they've spent a load on some good D players so do we see him going as well?

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

As well, no.

However I do think he'll be a solid option. Top 15 at the position probably.

[Gray Fox]

Even though the Mrs is hinting at me to throw a sickie in work tomorrow, I wouldn't get away with it, so I'm off to bed.

Best of luck on the coming season lads. Please let someone win this league who knows who Antonio Brown is.

[Browning]

Got Olsen in 2 leagues (including my main one), Sanders in my main one, Anderson in TTH and Newton in my 3rd league I care about least. Tonight would be fun, but yea... I can't stay up either. Go on Greg!

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

I'm staying up because I'm nails.

[Dan]

I'll be up too since i have three days off now :drool:

Expect me to fall asleep before half-time.

[Pleb]

We have the Browns and then @ Bears in the opening 2 weeks. If the defence can't pick up points there then it's going to be a fucking long season.
You got Steelers away on week 3 :serious:

If my league is really that dumb and the Texans have a shit three week period (we face the Bears this week :moop:) then I may have to jump to the Eagles or similar. My only slight concern for this team is Tyler Eifert as apparently he's not considered as a first choice tight end from what I've heard.

[Browning]

He absolutely is their first choice TE, and 2nd biggest weapon behind Green... but he's injured for like half the year.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Last team of mine finally drafted:

http://i.imgur.com/5wzdZou.png

Haven't decided on my starting line up yet other than I wont play Funchess tonight.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Didn't start Benjamin in any of the league's I have him in :moop:

[Dan]

Me neither...

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

I got scared by Ron fucking Rivera saying he'd only play 30-35 snaps tonight and so called experts saying that Benjamin would need time to click with Cam.

Fuck em all.

[bruhnaldo]

You multiple fantasy team folks DISGUST me.

[bruhnaldo]

They just showed an adidas commercial with Pogba in full United kit live on the broadcast :)

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

CJ :drool:

[Dan]

I'm up against him this week :panda:

[Gray Fox]

I've been offering Benjamin in my trade offers for tight ends. People have been laughing him off. I wonder if they'll be a little more receptive now.

I couldn't play him this week either. But they do play the 49ers at home next week :D

[Browning]

Olsen + Sanders pretty much dead on their projections in my main league. I'll take it.

CJ :drool:

[Pleb]

Luckily in my other league my opponent hasn't started. Burh with the 12 point advantage and probably will slaughter me this week :sorry:

That guy with Cam Newton in his team must really feel mugged off right about now :baz:

[Browning]

Doubtful, Cam still put up decent numbers and 2 TDs.

All this talk of Charcandrick West getting more snaps than Ware is pissing me off. RBBC should be banned.

[Pleb]

Time for some trade baiting :nod:

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Trade baiting doesn't include attempting to give Justin Tucker for Devonta Freeman though.

As much as I love Tucker I'm not blinded by said love.

Cairo Santos or nothing unless it involves multiple players.

[Browning]

No one will trade you anything bar a worse kicker for Tucker... because you already have the best kicker in the game, so inevitably you'll cut him at some point.

[bruhnaldo]

i don't hate my team but that's usually a good sign that it's not going to do well

it has a very "good 5 years ago" feel which makes sense since i haven't really paid attention to anyone but the dolphins in that time lol

[bruhnaldo]

As always my entire roster is on the trade block at all times. Please feel free to shoot me any offers.

[Baz]

That guy with Cam Newton in his team must really feel mugged off right about now :baz:In Ben we trust. :moop:

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

So here are my matchups this week:

http://i.imgur.com/5dCuxFz.png

I'm predicted to win but it's going to be close as we've both got players who could go nowhere near their projections and some that could go flying past.

http://i.imgur.com/UB5FFTi.png

He wont have a chance.

http://i.imgur.com/bjlJDZU.png

Looked like it was going to be a blowout loss but CJ Anderson has done a MASSIVE job which gives us a chance.

http://i.imgur.com/jpgWGWx.png

This is the money league team that I took over so it sucks that I stupidly picked Funchess but I should still win.

http://i.imgur.com/zPcZsKM.png

Could go either way but it's in his favour after CJ Anderson's heroics.

http://i.imgur.com/g36FFDF.png

I'm really confident about this one.

[Gray Fox]

I think Wilson against the Dolphins should see you beat me.

[Baz]

Some of those team names deserve -100 starting points.

And that's coming from Baz's Bumbandits.

[Browning]

I guess I'll post up my week 1 match up for my main league. It's against the guy I beat in last years Super Bowl, and beat 3 times overall last season (Fay's Fall Guys) but I have a bad feeling about week 1 since Charles pretty much went down....


QBs- Carson Palmer and Phillip Rivers Vs Andrew Luck and Eli Manning

Considering where these were picked I'm happy with my QBs over his for the season as I don't feel his are MUCH better than mine and I got mine much later in the draft. However, especially considering the match ups, he's probably got me beat here. I don't like Rivers going up against the Chiefs but given he put up virtually double the points Mariota did last season I can't justify rolling with him.

WRs- Antonio Brown, A.J. Green and Allen Robinson Vs Odell Beckham, TY Hilton and Jeremy Maclin

A no contest in my favor as it should be every week at the WR position. I don't think you could realistically assemble a better set of 3. The thing that scares me is his massive double TD potential from both Beckham and Hilton, but nevertheless I surely smash him at this position.

RBs- Lamar Miller and Ryan Matthews Vs David Johnson and Eddie Lacy

I felt better about this when I had Miller and Charles, but without him this is massively in his favor I feel. I still think Miller will be a top RB option this season, and Matthews has a lovely home game with the Browns, so I'm not too concerned about it. Hopefully if Johnson scores a TD it'll come from Palmer.

TE- Greg Olsen Vs Coby Fleener

The projections actually edge to him here, but I don't see it. Fleener is said to not be clicking well with Brees, where as Olsen is the top target for Cam Newton. Part of me does regret investing so high in Olsen rather than a better WR4, but hopefully he'll make it worthwhile.

Flex- Emmanuel Sanders and Spencer Ware Vs Latavious Murray and DeSean Jackson

I'm not convinced by Sanders this week at all. To the point where in me other league, he's on the bench despite me starting 5 WRs. He is however my safest play as I'm yet to get a look at Jared Cook, Torrey Smith, Travis Benjamin or Kevin White who I could play instead. I was very lucky to get Ware who has a lovely match up, but unfortunately not as nice as Murray's. Still I think this should be a fairly even contest.

The Rest:
Hauschka, Crosby, Arizona DST, Lavonte David, Reshad Jones and Ziggy Ansah Vs Walsh, Bryant, LA Rams DST, Bowman, Graham and Pierre-Paul

This should hopefully swing the match up back towards me as I drafted all of those players where as he picked all of his up post-draft. Not too happy that his DST faces the Niners while mine faces the Patrots... but I can always hope Arizona feast on Jimmy while Brady is out.

All in all projections have him to beat me by 4 points but I think it'll be pretty much bang even if and when Charles is ruled out and Ware gets a boost in projection. If Charles is named the starter I do of course have the option to play him.

2 changes from this as I replaced Rivers with Dak and he replaced Maclin with Watkins in a trade. I'm currently projected to win by an entire point after Olsen went over projection by a couple and sanders went under by one. It's too close to call.

[Browning]

Can we all vote that trade down, just because? :D

I'm joking, but fucking hell, I can't believe Pleb gave in.

[Pleb]

You can if you want :baz:

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

I knew he'd crack eventually, didn't expect it for another week though.

Trying to use a kicker as trade bait though, lol.

[Pleb]

I don't think the trade has gone through :harold:

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

It has but it wont until Monday morning.

They don't let trades go through before the player has played that week if it's done late.

[Gray Fox]

107 - 27 up in my other league, he has Beckham, Williams and Michael to play. I've got David Johnson left.

Odd position I'm in as in our league I have the receivers my opponent has now. I need Beckham to do something but Williams to piss off.

[Dan]

Me v Browning is closer than I expected - we have Manning/Luck, Johnson/Gurley, Moncrief/Tate & Bullock/Bailey to decide a match that's basically dead level.

If only I'd played Gordon & Benjamin over Cobb & Robinson.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

In one of my leagues (the Stairway to Evans one), it's looking likely that I'm going over 100 (at 92 with Cousins and David Johnson to play) but will still lose as he's at 112 with Luck and the Rams to play.

What helps my cause is that it's a PPR so David Johnson should get fucking mega points.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Oh and Gary Barnidge is dead to me.

[Baz]

gg mert :(

[Gray Fox]

I've faced him in both leagues this week. Not a bad week for it.

[Pleb]

Some tasty scores in our league right now.

Mahow :harold:

[Browning]

Me v Browning is closer than I expected - we have Manning/Luck, Johnson/Gurley, Moncrief/Tate & Bullock/Bailey to decide a match that's basically dead level.

If only I'd played Gordon & Benjamin over Cobb & Robinson.

You missed Dez, making me slight favorite. That TD being called back fucking hurt though. Particularly as I'm playing Dak in my main league.

[Gray Fox]

Some tasty scores in our league right now.

Mahow :harold:

You're next.

[Pleb]

Nope I'm leading.

[Browning]

Dan Bailey. :cool:

Should have taken the trade, Pleb.

[Dan]

I think the kicker & QB matchups are going to be decisive in our tie. I hold Bruce completely responsible for my impending defeat.

[Gray Fox]

Looks like I'll be picking up a double win in week 1. Bar the Rams D blowing the 49ers away.

I'm leading 107 - 48.8 with me having David Johnson and him having Deangelo Williams.

1 bad point is that Julio apparently tweaked his ankle, hence his lack of targets in the game. Kelvin is up against the 49ers though, so I may have to swap them about.

[Dan]

Gurley needs 3 yards for Browning to win our tie.

GG :D

[Browning]

Should in theory win in all 3 leagues this week....

It was a weird one because I was trailing in TTH to Dan and in my 3rd league, but cruising in my main league. Luck going mental almost certainly gave me 2 wins in the other leagues, but bought my opponent back from the dead in my main league. It should still be a win though, barring anything crazy.

As Dan says, Gurley only needs 3 yards for me to win. Was a great match up though, well played Dan.

In my 3rd league I'm leading 200-168 with Antonio Brown and Aaron Donald to come Vs Cousins and Reed. Of course those 2 could go mental, but even if they do Brown should give me enough. He's projected to finish on 206, so yea... that should be a win.

My main league I lead 234 to 196. He has D-Jax, the LA Defense and Bowman to come tonight and is projected to reach 232, however I still have Antonio Brown to come too. It's closer than it should have been, but barring a nightmare from Brown I should be ok.

Watch Brown let me down in both now...

[Browning]

Pleb almost surely pulling off the upset. :cool:

Mahow has had a truly awful week there.

Can I just make sure that our waivers work the proper way. E.g. we can put in our claims tomorrow, and they come through on Wednesday? I don't have to do it today, right?

[Pleb]

I'm tempted to play both Blake Bell and Torrey Smith tonight. I only have Carlos Hyde to worry about.

[Browning]

Don't be an idiot. :D

He's not even a starter.

[Pleb]

I have Pierre Garcon as well :moop:

[Browning]

Vance MacDonald is their starting TE. I've never heard of the other guy.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Pleb almost surely pulling off the upset. :cool:

Mahow has had a truly awful week there.

Wilson barely making it past double figures, AP and Freeman not even passing 8 points combined, Barnidge putting up a doughnut. Ugh.

[bruhnaldo]

Pleb almost surely pulling off the upset. :cool:

Beating an auto-drafted team week 1 is an upset?

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Beating an auto-drafted team week 1 is an upset?

Have you seen Pleb's team and his draft results?

[Browning]

Auto draft > Pleb any day.

[Pleb]

:D

[bruhnaldo]

I see.

[Baz]

Surprised how close my matchup is. Proud of my boys, going into Monday night with the lead, don't care how many of our players are still yet to play. Hopefully Big Ben can have the game of his life and cause shock of the century.

[Pleb]

I got Big Ben as my starting QB in my other league after having to sack off Wilson via the fantasy football gods to the bench so I'm hoping he doesn't fuck it all up tonight.

Meanwhile I may have to move Garcon to the flex spot in the TTH league :uhoh:

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Do Blake Bell, mate.

[Gray Fox]

Might target Barnidge in my other league. He just posted 0 for my opponent and Mahow, so he might be easier to grab. He might even drop him. McCown loved him last season.

[Browning]

Where are you, Antonio. :(

[Gray Fox]

There he is.

[bruhnaldo]

Do Blake Bell, mate.

So basically Pleb has started their 3rd string TE from what I understand.

And now that Hyde has scored, I only need 5 more points to get back in it.

Well.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

So basically Pleb has started their 3rd string TE from what I understand.

Well.
Yes, you understand correctly.

I had no idea who Blake Bell was until Pleb picked him up.

[bruhnaldo]

Well.

[bruhnaldo]

.98 away, now.

Come on Carlos I wanna go to bed.

[bruhnaldo]

And that's that.

My face when I go to bed and BLAKE BELL gets a garbage time TD.

[Dan]

The Rams did their best to help me hold off Browning, but even their shitty offence couldn't stop Gurley getting 2 yards.

Oh well, I topped 135pts in my other two leagues, so I'll live :D

[Pleb]

I lost in my other league by .46 :serious:

[Browning]

You deserved it.

I still don't know who the fuck Bell is.

3 wins in 3 leagues this week, so can't ask for more. Was a bit nervy last night when Cousins kept hitting Reed and D-Jax while the Steelers weren't rolling at all, but then Ben seemingly got it together big time, and delivered for me.

Roll on week 2. :drool:

[Bartholomert]

Lol at me winning with my crap team.

[Gray Fox]

Good thing my opponent in my other league was 77 points behind before last night. DeAngelo Williams could have ruined it all with his 30 points. 126.2 - 77.9 win in the end.

I've just noticed Rodgers has a very early bye week, in week 4 so I'm off out to look at a QB for then. The guy who has Big Ben wants rid of him apparently and has offered him for Langford to another owner in the league but it was rejected. If he's going that cheap I might go in with one of my bench RBs, see what happens.

[Browning]

That league is a shambles. You should just leave. Big Ben for Langford? Fuck sake.

[Gray Fox]

I have to have a go at winning it now I know what I'm doing. I spent last year learning it.

I've ended up trading Jeremy Hill for Carson Palmer. They have the Rams at home in Rodgers bye week and Hill was my 5/6th choice RB.

[Browning]

I guess I'll post up my week 1 match up for my main league. It's against the guy I beat in last years Super Bowl, and beat 3 times overall last season (Fay's Fall Guys) but I have a bad feeling about week 1 since Charles pretty much went down....


QBs- Carson Palmer and Phillip Rivers Vs Andrew Luck and Eli Manning

Considering where these were picked I'm happy with my QBs over his for the season as I don't feel his are MUCH better than mine and I got mine much later in the draft. However, especially considering the match ups, he's probably got me beat here. I don't like Rivers going up against the Chiefs but given he put up virtually double the points Mariota did last season I can't justify rolling with him.

WRs- Antonio Brown, A.J. Green and Allen Robinson Vs Odell Beckham, TY Hilton and Jeremy Maclin

A no contest in my favor as it should be every week at the WR position. I don't think you could realistically assemble a better set of 3. The thing that scares me is his massive double TD potential from both Beckham and Hilton, but nevertheless I surely smash him at this position.

RBs- Lamar Miller and Ryan Matthews Vs David Johnson and Eddie Lacy

I felt better about this when I had Miller and Charles, but without him this is massively in his favor I feel. I still think Miller will be a top RB option this season, and Matthews has a lovely home game with the Browns, so I'm not too concerned about it. Hopefully if Johnson scores a TD it'll come from Palmer.

TE- Greg Olsen Vs Coby Fleener

The projections actually edge to him here, but I don't see it. Fleener is said to not be clicking well with Brees, where as Olsen is the top target for Cam Newton. Part of me does regret investing so high in Olsen rather than a better WR4, but hopefully he'll make it worthwhile.

Flex- Emmanuel Sanders and Spencer Ware Vs Latavious Murray and DeSean Jackson

I'm not convinced by Sanders this week at all. To the point where in me other league, he's on the bench despite me starting 5 WRs. He is however my safest play as I'm yet to get a look at Jared Cook, Torrey Smith, Travis Benjamin or Kevin White who I could play instead. I was very lucky to get Ware who has a lovely match up, but unfortunately not as nice as Murray's. Still I think this should be a fairly even contest.

The Rest:
Hauschka, Crosby, Arizona DST, Lavonte David, Reshad Jones and Ziggy Ansah Vs Walsh, Bryant, LA Rams DST, Bowman, Graham and Pierre-Paul

This should hopefully swing the match up back towards me as I drafted all of those players where as he picked all of his up post-draft. Not too happy that his DST faces the Niners while mine faces the Patrots... but I can always hope Arizona feast on Jimmy while Brady is out.

All in all projections have him to beat me by 4 points but I think it'll be pretty much bang even if and when Charles is ruled out and Ware gets a boost in projection. If Charles is named the starter I do of course have the option to play him.

Ended up being a routine win, despite him posting a damn high score. 230+ is pretty much going to win every week, but I seemed to hit with every player I picked to overcome it.

QBs- Luck scored 5 points more than Palmer and Dak combined, and Manning tacked on an extra 27 for an absolute raping at the QB position, as I expected given the match ups and given he took his QBs in Round 2 and 3 and I took mine in round 5 and from the waiver wire.

RBs- Ryan Mathews and Latavious Murray pretty much broke even, and Lamar Miller put up double what Lacy did (18 points to 9) giving me a small win at the position, but that was of course with both David Johnson and Spencer Ware sitting in our flexes....

WRs- AJ Green lit it up putting up almost 37 points where as Beckham, Hilton and Watkins combined for 34 points. This meant I won the position without the 12 points from Sanders and 14 points from Robinson. AJ fucking Green. :cool:

TE- :lol: Olsen 15.71 Vs Fleener 1.91. Enough said.

Flex- Spencer Ware went off like crazy, topping even David Johnson by 8 and a half points (33.49 to 24.96). Antonio Brown also pretty much doubled D-Jax putting up 33 on the dot to his 16.29. Easy.

He beat me in the Kicker battle by 10, I won the DST battle by 8 and he won the IDP by about 1.5 points. All in all this lead to a comprehensive 267.22 to 226.74 victory. He went under projection by about 6 points and I was over it by almost 40.

Won in my 3rd league to by 237.75 points (1 point over projection) to 198.90 (about 24 points under). He actually won a lot of positional battles but Luck and Brown mainly combined to see him off comfortably.

My week 2 match ups, on paper, look easier than week 1 in those 2 leagues, so we'll see.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

3 wins with 3 losses for me this week.

Shambles.

[bruhnaldo]

Normally I'd be annoyed my opponent started a 3rd string TE but the other option only did slightly better and I would've won anyhow.

Shove your upset up your arse, you cunts. :drool:

[Browning]

I'm no longer on the Pleb bandwagon. It's all about Bruh overcoming the AUTODRAFT.

I would say Mert too but... Nah.

[bruhnaldo]

Fuck Mert.

It's all about Team Bruh, fellas. Help me make America great, again.

Why am I 10th in the waiver wire without actually picking up anyone off waivers?

[Pleb]

Gray Fox next :uhoh:

[Browning]

Why am I 10th in the waiver wire without actually picking up anyone off waivers?

Because you're top of the league and every week it resets to reverse order.

I don't like it either. People that have been using their waivers already have basically got a leg up there, and it means people dropped outside the waiver period can be claimed at no cost as you'll just move back to where you were anyway. Waivers should always be rolling. I don't care for rewarding people for being shit. See Fay's Fall Guys benching DeAngelo Williams to get a higher waiver as he'd already lost. I don't blame him one bit, because the system is flawed.

Well.

[Dan]

Oh, is that how it's working? That does seem rather unfair. I think I'm literally in the exact same spot so I hadn't realised :D

[Browning]

The problem comes from having a commissioner whose only experience is in that farce of a league. :D

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Tuesday night commissioner wars!

[Gray Fox]

You're next.


Gray Fox next :uhoh:

Yes, yes you are.

[Gray Fox]

Hang on I've just read the full page. Mutiny!

(I've changed it now but) MUTINY!

It'll now be so that if you make a successful waiver claim, you will move to the back of the line. The order will never reset from now.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Well at least I'll get who I want first this week.

After that I'm probably going to be last in the waivers each week :(

[Gray Fox]

I could go through and reset the waivers to reverse draft order, but considering people have already claimed some it seems pointless now.

[Browning]

That's an improvement at least. Let it stay how it is I guess, Mahow needs the help.

If you were going to reset it you'd have to basically do reverse draft order and then move everyone who used one previously to the back of the line. Probably too much effort though.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Mahow has had his bad week already.

The rest of you chumps, starting with Welby are going to get fisted.

[Gray Fox]

Mahow taking my only waiver claim. :brighton:

[Pleb]

Which fucker took Willie Snead? :moop:

[Browning]

Snead and Riddick were always going to be the first 2 to go, so I didn't even bother making claims for them.

Today is the day I can officially declare that I now own Torrey Smith on 0 fantasy teams. :cool:

Edit- And Fuller of course.

Someone in my 3rd league has binned Rawls... Fucking hell.

[Gray Fox]

How does it feel to be clean?

[Browning]

So good. :D

There was no one I wanted on the wire in that league really so I was aiming to move up the ranks. Unfortunately only 3 players (Fuller, Jimmy Garropolo and Carson Wentz) were actually claimed and one was by someone behind me already so I only moved up two spots. I was however able to drop Torrey for Wallace free of charge.

[Dan]

Which fucker took Willie Snead? :moop:

:wave:

Nearly drafted him, then nearly picked him up over Sheppard before week one, so I was pretty mad at myself when he went off on Sunday. Had to finally make an effort to get him while I had an early claim.

[Pleb]

So good. :D

Wallace was available in my second league so I jumped at the chance.

[Browning]

I may well regret using my TTH waiver, but fuck going up against Denver. Hopefully a nice double TD this week. :cool:

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Willing to trade some of my WRs for RBs.

[Dan]

I have Luck in both my other leagues, and I'll play him in one & bench him in the second. I picked up Wallace & Stafford in the first league, and Fuller & SPENCER WARE in the other. My RBs in that league are Gurley, Williams, Hill, Gordon & Ware :cab: Need to get trading, assuming anyone else is actually looking at their teams in that league :D

Still gotta do TE, DEF & K work, but it's kinda tricky on my phone so hopefully my laptop gets fixed by tomorrow evening.

[Dan]

Willing to trade some of my WRs for RBs.

I'd consider trading one of the Seahawks RBs, but I'm don't really need any WRs & I doubt you'd get rid of anything else I'd be interested in.

But yeah, Rawls, Michael & Josh Gordon could all go for a good offer...

[Browning]

That's a good set of RBs for now, but Williams will decline a lot when Bell is back, and Ware will become a nightmare to figure out when Charles is back, so I'm not sure how much I would part with.

And yea, I'll be starting Luck in my 3rd league (2 QB league) as I still like him over Matt Ryan... but benching him in TTH for Stafford.

[Browning]

Week 2 match up for my main league:



QB- Carson Palmer and Marcus Mariota Vs Ben Roethlisberger and Ryan Fitzpatrick

I went 7-0 last season in games where I started FItzpatrick so it's hard to hate on him too much, but my opponent seems to have bailed on Cousins after 1 poor game and benched him for Fitz. I'm not too sure on that decision given that Cousins faces Dallas. Not complaining though. Rivers Vs the Jaguars is a nice enough match up but I'm currently leaning towards Marcus because Detroit have no defense whatsoever and I'd like to see how Rivers does without Allen after being total wank in the 2nd half of week 1. Slight advantage to me I think just because I think Palmer will be the best of the 4 but could go either way. Projection is me by 4 points.

WRs- Antonio Brown, AJ Green and Allen Robinson Vs Mike Evans, Randall Cobb and Marvin Jones

I'm going to say this every week.... but no contest. His lot all have big game potential, but my 3 are all studs. Projections have me by 15 points.

RB- Lamar Miller and Spencer Ware Vs DeAngelo Williams and Matt Forte

The guy has AP, but like Cousins he seems to have lost faith quickly as has benched him. I don't mind that whatsoever. With AP in the mix I think this would have been 50/50. With him dropped for Forte I again like my plays, assuming Ware still holds as the starter. Projections have this breaking even though.

TE- Greg Olsen Vs Rob Gronkowski

One of the few teams that has a TE that can compete with mine, but I don't fear Gronk much coming back from his injury. If he sits again the guy does have Gates, so it's not too bad for him. Projection is him by half a point, but who knows.

Flex- Ryan Mathews and Emmanuel Sanders Vs Will Fuller and DeMarco Murray

I like Sanders a lot this week going against a soft defense and with DT struggling. Mathews also seems to be a workhorse going up against a poor defense. I'm not convinced Fuller will repeat but we will see. Could go either way. Projections has it as me by about 2 points.

The Rest- Arizona DST, Hauschka, Crosby, L.David, R.Jones and A.Donald Vs Denver DST, Vinatieri, McManus, D.Harris, J.Norman and M.Wilkerson

Not much to note here really. I'm considering David's position after he got out performed by his fellow Bucs LB but I'm not sure if that was a one week thing. I like Donald this week against a hobbling Russell Wilson but I'll cut him if he doesn't improve on last weeks 3 tackles. Still that was better than Ansah who I started. Projections has this as me by 6-7 points.

Overall projection- I win 234.49 to 208.80

[Gray Fox]

I keep thinking I'm looking a little light at RB, but then I remember I've got Lev Bell sat down for 2 more games. Could use a better 4th option than Forsett though.

In my other league my trade of giving Hill to get Palmer has gone through. I mean he's not the best QB, but probably in the top 5-10. I'd be perfectly happy with me as my starter, which makes me want to dangle the Rodgers carrot out there and see what stupid offers I get. Dalton, Bortles, Rivers Stafford and Carr are all still available to take so I could easily take a great back up option still. Obviously I'd only ever give Rodgers for good value in return. But knowing the league like I do, I can't wait to be offered Will Tye.

The guy I played last week had RG3 as starter, with Mariota and Taylor as back ups. He also has Beckham. He's one I could target.

[Browning]

Do it now. Rodgers is coming off a massive game and ODB was shit. If he's going to take the trade it'll be now before ODB rebounds.

He'd be a mug to take it, but still.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Plus Carr is a solid option so pick him up.

[bruhnaldo]

Cheers to Fox for making that waiver change. Top to admit it was silly and just sort it out immediately.

[bruhnaldo]

You guys need some logos ffs. League page looks barren :(

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Done.

[Browning]

The Week 1 Hungriest Bench Trophy goes to Fay's Fall Guys for benching DeAngelo Williams. Benching a top performing player can be a symptom of hunger. Try eating a SNICKERS next week before setting your lineup.

Fucking hell.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Snickers are good tbf.

[Browning]

I'm just shaking my head at him getting an award for doing that. :D

I'm a bit confused by those awards though. Why are some of them listed twice and others only once?

[bruhnaldo]

FWIW they're rather meaningless. I got one for picking up the highest scoring player from FA (Mike Wallace, who I didn't actually play, mind you.)

[bruhnaldo]

This "Coach" ranking is weird. It's a tab in the standings.

Apparently, I was the 9th worst "coach" last week, as my starting lineup was -22 points my "ideal lineup".

So I scored the most points overall whilst leaving 22 on the bench? :drool:

Those who are secretly on Team Bruh have obviously made the right choice.

[Browning]

What in the fuck is Pleb doing with that trade?

[Pleb]

I was bored...this happened...:


Week 2 – The Third Half Football League Preview

Plebroll AFC (0-1-0) vs Team Tebow Time (1-0-0)

Plebroll AFC threw away what was ultimately a slender shock lead against Miami Derphucks heading into the Monday Night Football matches but Torrey Smith (benched) only had 13 yards to his name so Plebroll AFC was clearly right to bench him. A random Blake Bell (Did Not Play) made an appearance was what we can only describe as one of those “You Pleb” moments.

Alex Smith and Spencer Ware’s antics during the Kansas City match against San Diego would have been a pivotal moment for an unexpected week one upset if Plebroll AFC didn’t decide to start Blake Bell and for Carlos Hyde to not score over 20 points for Miami Derphucks.

A strong looking Vikings defense helped Team Tebow Time to win game one against The Tunsil Gas Masks. Danny Woodhead (Benched) would have ultimately bumped Team Tebow Time’s score to over one hundred but a solid win either way.

Team Tebow Time slightly edges Plebroll AFC in the projected scoring but keep a small eye out for Odell Beckham jr who might have a huge say in where this matchup is headed.


The Tunsil Gas Masks (0-1-0) vs Welby Wolves (1-0-0)

The Tunsil Gas Masks was banking on Russell Wilson to have a huge game in the Seattle vs Miami game but ended up scoring 11 points even though Seattle won the game 12-10. Mike Evans was The Tunsil Gas Masks only high scorer with 15.9 points and with the trade of Justin Tucker heading into week 2 from Plebroll AFC and some waiver pickups The Tunsil Gas Masks are hoping to kick start their season with a win in week two.

The Welby Wolves are hot favourites to take a semi-final playoff berth as they completely destroy Fay’s Fall Guys with Aaron Rodgers and A.J Green amongst one of the highest scoring players of the league so far. Will The Welby Wolves continue by turning up and donning up the entire league? Time will tell but projected scores suggests that The Tunsil Gas Masks takes week 2 by six points which makes this matchup even more thrilling than it already is.


Miami Derphucks (1-0-0) vs The Inevitable Failures (0-1-0)

Carlos Hyde helped Miami Derphucks in their win against Plebroll AFC with Brandin Cooks also scoring over 25 points. The Miami Derphucks are hoping that the Broncos defence plays an absolute blinder against the Colts which might be a huge factor in winning this matchup.

The inevitable Failures had an interesting QB matchup which meant Eli Manning scored a measly (lol) 18.28 against Andrew Luck’s 35.50 when they faced A Gurley Has No Name. Interesting enough as soon as Sunday Night Football went on the air the matchup was on a knife edge meaning at the end of the game A Gurley Has No Name only needed Todd Gurley to feature for The Inevitable Failures to lose the week one matchup by a small margin.

Projected Scores suggests that there’s nothing to separate them meaning it could go down to the wire again. There are three to five players on both benches that are projected to score over 10s this weekend.


Fay’s Fall Guys (0-1-0) vs Baz’s Bumbandits (0-1-0)

Fay’s Fall Guys embarrassing defeat to The Welby Wolves was marred by the fact that apparently a RB slot wasn’t filled in which we can only describe this moment of madness due to alien involvement. That or no one bothered to turn up to score huge fantasy points. Fay’s Fall Guys are hoping that DeAngelo Williams and Jeremy Langford both have monstrous games against the Bengals and the Eagles respectively otherwise you are looking at another loss.

Baz’s Bumbandits was in one of the tightest matchups that The Third Half Fantasy Football League has ever seen in it’s history of actually having a proper Fantasy Football League. All positional matchups were neck and neck but it was ultimately down to a huge battle between Drew Brees and Big Ben which puts Baz’s Bumbandits in the position he’s already in by losing the tightest of margins to Wet Pussy Best Pussy (no pun intended).

Projected scores suggests that Fay’s Fall Guys takes the W but with Cam Newton firmly locked in as Baz’s Bumbandit’s quarterback and the Seahawks defence projected to do well anything can happen.


A Gurley Has No Name (1-0-0) vs Wet Pussy Best Pussy (1-0-0)

No major changes for A Gurley Has No Name which is a little bit gutsy really as he’s heading into week two playing against a team who seems to be only fascinated with his Best Wet Pussy if that makes any sense. A Gurley Has No Name surely must be relying on the likes of Andrew Luck or Phillip Rivers to score massive points this game weekend but rumours are circulating that the team may start with Matt Stafford and hope the likes of CJ Anderson and his kicker Dan Bailey give the the same love they gave him last week.

Wet Pussy Best Pussy dropping Drew Brees for Derek Carr which suggests we may see another fascinating Quarterback matchup from week one. They are also hoping that Antonio Brown has a huge game against the Bengals. Projected scores suggest that Wet Pussy takes it with a massive margin of around 25 to 30 points.

Prior to going into print a trade between Plebroll AFC and The Tunsil Gas Masks has already happened meaning that Jamaal Charles and Johnathon Steward have respectively swapped teams. Who knows what this will mean for both teams as clearly they both have plans to storm the top six in the standings by qualifying at least a Wildcard spot. Ultimately would this be another “You Pleb” moment as the season progresses? Who knows? Already some Plebroll AFC fans are fucking livid over this trade.

[Pleb]

What in the fuck is Pleb doing with that trade?
It was him or Spencer Ware :sorry:

[Browning]

Then the answer is no one.

Jonathan Stewart? Ugh.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Then the answer is no one.

Jonathan Stewart? Ugh.

He's sent me a couple of trades for Stewart today, he clearly values him highly.

Who are we to criticise, he almost beat Bruh AN ACTUAL AMERICAN last week.

[Gray Fox]

To be fair, with Ware playing so well and Charles being eased back into it after a year out, it might not be a bad idea to jump off the Charles train. You could also probably get him pretty cheaply. Maybe not for Stewart though.

[Gray Fox]

Cheers to Fox for making that waiver change. Top to admit it was silly and just sort it out immediately.

I know what it's like to be in a league run by a guy who insists it's HIS league. I never want to be that guy. Decisions are open forum.

I'll definitely agree that the nfl.com UI is pretty bland though. We'll definitely look into a better one next season, unless people want to keep the history.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

They're just jelly that they wont have Jonathan Stewart on their teams, Pleb.

[Browning]

That's his ROUND ONE PICK.

It was an insane round 1 pick, but nonetheless, at least Charles has the potential to put up round 1 numbers when he gets back to full health. It's unlikely as he's surely going to split time with Ware now, but it's not impossible. Stewart on the other hand.....

[bruhnaldo]

He's sent me a couple of trades for Stewart today, he clearly values him highly.

Who are we to criticise, he almost beat Bruh AN ACTUAL AMERICAN last week.

You bastard lmao.

[bruhnaldo]

Shout out to the good Pleb for that Week 2 preview.

I'm def. into doing a bit of fun writing to help spice things up as well (read: I have a lot of downtime at work). I'll try and contribute where I see fit.

[Gray Fox]

I'm playing League Average in my other league so there's nothing to think about on the opponents side. There's also not a great deal to think about with my lineup.

After strong showings in week 1, Johnson, Miller and Matthews have to be stuck with. Johnson against the Bucs and Miller against the Chiefs who normally good, gave up touchdowns to Gordon(x2) and Woodhead last week, have better looking matchups there. I'm not playing any Bills against the Jets either.
At WR I've got Benjamin and Green. The latter is a stud while the former is on a fantastic offense who looked good last week against the best defence in the league. I'm expecting Julio to be questionable until the end of time and will keep an eye on his practice report. It'll be between him and Matthews for the flex spot.
My real question this week is whether or not I fancy pulling Rodgers out for the newly acquired Palmer. Rodgers is on the road against what was a mean looking Vikings D last week, while Palmer has the Bucs at home.

I'd love a better TE, but that ship long since sailed. Only Jared Cook remains on waivers.

The other 2 people in my division(3 divisions of 3 for some reason) are playing each other too, so I have a chance to go 2 clear of whoever loses and give myself a healthy cushion.

[Browning]

You never bench Julio. Never.

Questionable now means anything from 50-99% chance of playing. It's essentially meaningless.

[Dan]

You don't fancy McCoy this week either? That's the main spot that's giving me concern at the moment.

[bruhnaldo]

I'm so glad I got Julio in the TTH league

I've had him previous and I like to sing that Paul Simon song every time he does well for me.

Seein' Me & Julio down by the schoolyaaaaaaard

Mind you I have no idea what that song is REALLY about but it's fun to sing anyhow.

[Gray Fox]

I didn't fancy the Bills tonight. I guess I may have been wrong.

[Dan]

Nah, their offence looks trash aside from chucking long bombs at Revis.

[Dan]

McCoy might be having a shitter, but at least I still have Marshall in one of my other leagues to give me something positive from this game.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Throw some fucking screens to McCoy you shit heads.

[Dan]

I'm fucking mad at myself for ignoring my own gut & putting McCoy in because 'experts' liked him better than my other guys :panda:

EDIT That one big run pretty much doubled his points on its own. More of that would be lovely.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Indeed.

Had a notification from ESPN on my tablet that some dickweed loves McCoy's matchup. He was on my bench until 30 minutes before the game.

[Dan]

Glad I'm not up against any Jets this week...

[Dan]

Fucking Mike Motherfucking Gillislee comes in & gets the fucking TD :D

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

I also benched Tyrod Taylor for Kirk Cousins because of the dickweed ESPN guy. Fuck him.

Only played one Jet (Decker) across my league's and I should still win that one. Could have done with playing what I had though.

[Browning]

Of course I was facing Forte in 2/3 leagues.

[Gray Fox]

What in the hell happened there then? I went to bed at halftime with the Jets looking fairly comfortable. Only the 2 points off the D this week. Glad I benched McCoy but wish I'd played Decker. It's just too hard to sit one of my stud WRs.

[Dan]

The Bills were utter shit, but they got two 70yd+ TDs on third downs & a fumble returned for another. They really only should have got 10pts, and probably didn't even deserve that.

They look like a 4 win team.

[Pleb]

Mert's running away with this lads.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

You never bench Julio. Never.

Questionable now means anything from 50-99% chance of playing. It's essentially meaningless.
I've now spotted that the NFL removed the probable tag this year as well so it's more of a clusterfuck.

[Gray Fox]

Julio practiced in full yesterday so he's back in.

My questions now are which QB and who to play at flex. R. Matthews(@ Bears), Benjamin(49ers) or Cooks(@ Giants). Head says Kelvin. Eagles fan in me says Matthews.

[Browning]

The answer is Cooks. Shoot out written all over it.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Cooks is highest ranked for me this week.

Benjamin isn't far behind though.

[Pleb]

Steward questionable with an ankle issue.

May have to keep an eye on this :uhoh:

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

But Charles is out mate.

You won the trade.

[Gray Fox]

Ertz is out. Good job I didn't make a more serious offer for him. Looks like he'll be dealing with the injury all season too.

[Browning]

I'm really not looking forward to tomorrow after Forte crushed 2 of my teams. Somehow my main league team is still expecting to win by 15 points (previously it was around 30) but it's hard to be confident when you're entering the day 67-0 down. I wish Thursday night games would fuck off.

[Gray Fox]

I know Palmer has a favorable match up and Rodgers doesn't, but it's so hard benching Rodgers.

[Gray Fox]

I've bottled it and added Rodgers back in. It's just too hard to not play him when he's 100% fit and can make perfect throws while being tackled.

I've gone for Cooks in flex. Pretty mad that I can play Jones, Green and Cooks in the same team, with Decker and Benjamin on the bench. Watch it backfire massively.

Benched Wilson in the two leagues I have him in :uhoh:

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

I thought that 'Jimmy G' might be a risky play.

He already has 13 points.

[Browning]

Olsen you stud. :cool:

[Dan]

Yo Eli, you fucking twat, you've got a half to save yourself from getting cut.

Jokes, he's probably getting cut either way.

[Browning]

I'm getting absolutely fisted in my main league. All my players are shite.

Why didn't I start Rivers.

[Gray Fox]

Decker and Benjamin on my bench looks like a great move this week.

[Dan]

From less than two weeks of playing fantasy football it's clear that it's much better at making you feel terrible about the guys you benched who scored loads than the ones you started who beat their projections.

It's the perfect game for the British.
