TTH NFL Fantasy Football 2017 thread

[Baz]

Whoever else did the Pick'em agreed with me on almost every match, but I think team Auto Draft might overcome Baz.

Me, that. :baz:

[Dan]

I fucking hate the fact the draft date selection is automatically set to PDT - must've ended up changing it about twelve times to get it to the time I actually intended :D

[Browning]

On yahoo? Mine is definitely set to BST.

[Dan]

I have some Graham Gano news for you Browning. Word from their GM is that, if he isn't traded by week one, he'll be the one kicking against the 49ers.

[Dan]

Just completed another randomer draft. Ended up with the seventh pick & a fairly decent team:

QB - Andrew Luck, Sam Bradford
RB - Ezekiel Elliott, Christian McCaffery, Kareem Hunt, Ameer Abdullah, Doug Martin (IN THE 9TH ROUND! :cab:)
WR - Mike Evans, Martavis Bryant, Devante Parker, Jeremy Maclin, Corey Davis
TE - Zach Ertz
DEF - Giants
K - Lutz

Kinda just took guys I wanted to own for the first half of the draft, then tried to fill in the gaps

[Browning]

The Gano news doesn't fill me with confidence. Knowing my luck they'll decide to play the other guy 2 minutes into the game for no reason.

If Hauschka clears waivers tomorrow I'll go with him. Fuck it.

Binned off Prater for Janikowski in dynasty. He might be old and so have no value long term, but this year he should hopefully do a job.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Sea Bass is immortal.

[Baz]

Reckon I'll actually win any games?

My WRs are expected to get 0 points.

[Dan]

They won't get zero points, but they might be close :D

[Browning]

I won't name names.... but there is one team I would back Baz to win against week 1.

[Dan]

I don't know, I thought Mert drafted pretty well.

[Browning]

Yahoo knows :cool:

https://sports.yahoo.com/news/2017-fantasy-football-predictions-mvp-bust-year-184448595.html

"Team to avoid" :D

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Yahoo being wrong once again, shock.

[Pleb]

Someone's jumped the gun on Wille Snead in League Two by placing him on waivers.

That's a bit :harold: surely even through he has a three game suspension on him.

[Browning]

Mahow's delusions about the Ravens know no bounds. :D

They're easily the worst team in the entire NFL for fantasy options.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

And you go too far the other end.

If we split our thoughts down the middle we're probably spot on.

[Browning]

Some of it is to wind you up, but I was genuinely asked if I had to ban myself from drafting from one team, who it would be, and I didn't really have to think about it.

Their RBs are always "THE NEXT BIG THING" but never materialise, Flacco is meh (a lower end option) and I don't even remember the last time they had a viable WR. Fantasy Pros has their best player in the overall rankings as West at 71.... I haven't double checked but I'm fairly sure every other team has a better player than that.

They've burned me too many times, and they're always injured. Beyond Tucker there's no one there I'd want.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Oh, I agree they're all 'sleepers' at best.

You can't pin a season on a Ravens player but they can be good for a game or two.

Same for most of the league too really.

[Browning]

To be fair to them, Woodhead is a PPR stud (one I'm kind of sad I missed out on in every league, and did consider drafting a few times) but I'd need to see him do it for the Ravens first, and not be injured. I think I have Maclin in 1 league and I'm interested to see if he does anything.

I did say after my Dynasty draft that Kenneth Dixon was one of my favorite picks of the draft. I had him top of my board for a long time before pulling the trigger because I knew no one else was going to be thinking about the guy who was injured all year (I did the same with Mike Williams too). I'm banking on you being right about him.

[Browning]

If it makes you feel better I play in a league with a Panthers fan who took McCaffrey in round 2 (ahead of Melvin Gordon, Ajayi and Zeke), Cam Newton in round 5 (2 QB league so it's not too horrible... but still) and the Pathers DST as the 5th one taken (only after Seattle, Denver, Kansas and Houston) and also spent a 14th rounder on a Carolina IDP who wasn't Kuechley. So I guess all NFL fans are like that with their team. I'm shocked he didn't draft more Panthers, he usually does.

[Browning]

Hauschka didn't clear waivers so I still have Gano.... and Sea Bass is now an issue for the first time in like 4 decades. Fuck sake.

Edit- Sea Bass out, Lutz in. We'll revisit it after Wembley/after he gets cut/injured/asked to take a 90% pay cut.

[bruhnaldo]

Sorry I missed the draft. Went out of town and assumed I'd be sat at my cousin's house doing fuck all but actually ended up going to a college football game that night.

[Dan]

Didn't get enough people for the custom league (sorry Mahow), so I went & did another quick draft. Ended up with this from pick 4:

QB - Kirk Cousins
RB - Todd Gurley, Isaiah Crowell, Leonard Fournette, Joe Mixon, Rob Kelley, James White
WR - Julio Jones, Doug Baldwin, Michael Crabtree, Pierre Garcon, Tyrell Williams
TE - Hunter Henry
DEF - Jacksonville
K - Brandon McManus

Some pretty crazy RB value in this draft - I got Gurley (R3), Crowell (R4), Fournette (R5) & Mixon (R7) all at least one round later than I thought they'd go, while Jordan Howard went in R3, McCaffery in R5, Tevin Coleman in R9 & Powell in R10. Hell, Freeman at 13 & Elliott at 19 aren't half bad either.

Wasn't exclusively RBs that went way later than expected though, as Dez fell to 26, Hopkins to 36, Parker went in R7, and Snead dropped all the way to R11. I grabbed Crabtree in R6, which I was very happy with too. Eifert didn't go until R12 either, while Jameis went one round earlier, so mad values to be had everywhere somehow.

Might do another one later - still want to try to get hold of Lev Bell, AJ Green, Michael Thomas, Russell Wilson & Jimmy Graham, as well as a few others, although I don't particularly fancy going up to something like 10 teams in order to get there.

[Gray Fox]

Antonio Brown is the one that eludes me. No matter how many times I try, I just never seem to fall at the the spot he goes.

[Dan]

Managed to get a 10 team dynasty league sorted, then my laptop froze just before my 3rd/4th round turn picks :cry:

Ended up with Hilton & Crowell, but fortunately I'm back to do the rest. I did manage to make my first two picks too, which I'm very happy with. Full results to come.

[Gray Fox]

Oh shit. The Bills have waived Jonathan Williams.

Newest recruit to the Mile High City.

He's earning $500k just for being on their practice squad.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Started a random Yahoo league from 2nd.

Bell, Howard and 'Zeke are my first three picks. Woof.

Edit: No flex spot though :\

[Browning]

Your WRs are going to be shit though, you can't all get Demaryius Thomas in round 7 :cool:

I really can't wait for all this to be back.

As I didn't post it yet, here is my match up from that league (where I got Thomas and my other ridiculous picks) against the reigning league champion, who should be one of the tougher teams:


QBs- Matt Ryan and Kirk Cousins Vs Tom Brady and Jay Cutler

The projections have him edging this by about 1 point with Cutler letting him down big time. I'm kind of hopeful we can win this battle.

WRs- Mike Evans, Golden Tate and Jarvis Landry Vs AJ Green, Kelvin Benjamin and Keenan Allen

Projections have me winning this by about a point. Those aren't even my strongest WRs but I moved Thomas and Baldwin to the flex due to later games.

RBs- Melvin Gordon and Todd Gurley Vs Devonta Freeman and Dalvin Cook

Projections edge it to me by about a point again. Cook is an unknown but Vs The Saints I wouldn't be shocked if he smashes his projection of 11 points, but I'm still hopeful my guys can do enough.

TE- Jordan Reed Vs Delanie Walker

Me to win by about 1 point again.

Flex- Doug Bladwin and Demaryius Thomas Vs LeSean McCoy and Pierre Garcon

McCoy Vs The Jets could be huge, but in a PPR I should win this, and projections back me by about 4.5

The Rest: Tucker, Santos, Denver, Wagner, Neal and Watt Vs Gostkowski, Boswell, Buffalo, Kuechly, H.Smith and Mack

He makes up some ground here, with the main difference being Buffalo being projected to go huge. He's projected to win by about 4.

So all told the projections have me winning by 2.5 points... which seems to be the story in all my leagues. If every player in every league could just score exactly their projections I'll be very happy.

[Ian]

Right, since you nerds live for this shit I might as well give you my other team I've just drafted.

14 team league, starting team is 1QB, 3 WR, 2 RB, 1 TE, 1 K, 1 DEF. Includes return yards, not just touchdowns.

QB: Cousins, Smith
WR: Hilton, Parker, Marshall, Snead (I think in the round I got him this was a decent deal even with the suspension), Patterson
RB: Freeman, Gurley, Coleman, Johnson
TE: Olsen, Cook
K: Janikowski.... who I didn't realise might be getting cut. :D
DEF: Arizona.

I feel like there's a shitload of what-ifs in there.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

I think my WRs came out quite well actually:

https://i.imgur.com/kJ6f3Db.png

Younghoe is there to keep morale up.

[Pleb]

I've managed to get an ESPN league draft going...

I'm the last pick :moop:

[Dan]

Newest recruit to the Mile High City.

He's earning $500k just for being on their practice squad.

Interesting, especially considering I have CJ Anderson. Denver have about twelves RBs though, so still not quite as good of a spot as the Bills were.

Seems pretty solid, although it does demonstrate just how big the impact of a few extra teams has on the quality of rosters.

Younghoe :drool:


I've managed to get an ESPN league draft going...

I'm the last pick :moop:

Plenty of chance to grab a pair of studs there though. AJ Green falls to the end of the round pretty regularly, plus there's Michael Thomas, not to mention the chance of picking up Zeke, who looks likely to play this weekend.

[Pleb]

Someone took Tucker as the second pick :D

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

I promise it wasn't me.

[Browning]

Yea, those WRs are better than I expected, fair play.

Not sure why people are sleeping on Thomas. Denver may have the 5th best QB in their division, but he still put up over 1000 yards with him last season.

It's kind of sickening how much stock I have in Luck this year. He better come back strong.

[Dan]

Okay, so my dynasty team ended up as follows:

QB - Jameis Winston, Carson Wentz

RB - Isaiah Crowell, Ameer Abdullah, Derrick Henry, Samaje Perine, Jamaal Williams, DeAndre Washington, Jalen Richard, Wendell Smallwood, Orleans Darkwa, Zach Zenner, Kenneth Dixon (just for you, Mahow)

WR - Mike Evans, Michael Thomas, TY Hilton, DeVante Parker, Corey Davis, Cooper Kupp, Mike Williams, Paul Richardson, Mack Hollins, Kasen Williams, Will Fuller (we have 2 IR spots)

TE - Austin Hooper, Adam Shaheen, CJ Fiedorowicz, Vance McDonald

DEF - Jacksonville, Atlanta

K - Will Lutz

---

Computer drafted me Hilton & Crowell, whereas what I would've drafted myself was Cook & Mixon :moop:

Pretty sure we were all way out with player valuations, but it was good fun. Going to have to look to make a couple of trades though, as I ended up going for upside a bit too much & there are some clear areas that need improving. Those auto-drafted picks at the 3/4 turn really hurt me though.

[Browning]

31 players is even more than my Dynasty league, where I think we had 26. People complained the bench was too big, but I honestly feel it's on the small side. I'm not sure how I'll take to Dynasty, I can just see me getting to next summer and not wanting to let go of anyone.

[Ian]

Not sure why people are sleeping on Thomas. Denver may have the 5th best QB in their division, but he still put up over 1000 yards with him last season.

He also got, what, 1000 or 1100 yards the a couple of years ago when everybody was bitching about the number of drops he had?

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

He's hit at least 1000 in all bar 2 season (his first two when he was injured a lot) and prior to last year it was 1300 at least.

[Dan]

I've set this one to be a 30 team league (plus 2 IR spots), where you can only keep 20 players, so I'm hoping that I don't have that problem next season too :D

Currently, my main issue is that I'm utterly shit at RB this season. Considering trying to trade for one of the Patriots backs (preferably James White as it's 0.5PPR) or Rob Kelley to give me some immediate value, but I'm not sure quite who I'd offer up in return.


He's hit at least 1000 in all bar 2 season (his first two when he was injured a lot) and prior to last year it was 1300 at least.

DT is one of those players who's super reliable, but not really exciting & doesn't have much potential to outdo what he's done in the past, so nobody wants him when they could take a flier on a potential stud. He's in the same boat as Crabtree, who's the one I tend to pick up a round or two later.

[Browning]

Mine is 26 but you can keep them all. We also have 5 IR spots, so if I fill those I'll have 31 players to think about. In an ideal world I'll keep 18-20 and have a few draft picks, but I'm not convinced that'll happen. We will see.

I'm not really sure how Year 2 dynasty drafts work. What is the usual way of doing it? I'm guessing Reverse standings order and no snake?

[Dan]

No idea either :D Reverse standings from the previous season definitely seems the fairest way to do it, but I'm not sure how it works in regards to some teams choosing different numbers of keepers than others & how that affects the draft.

Got a whole year to get that sorted though.

[Pleb]

Suck It Gravity Draft

1) Devonta Freeman (RB)
2) AJ Green (WR)
3) Isaiah Crowell (RB)
4) Carson Wentz (QB)
5) Wille Snead (BEN)
6) Kirk Cousins (BEN)
7) Zach Ertz (TE)
8) Ameer Abdullah (BEN)
9) Adam Thielan (BEN)
10) Darren McFadden (BEN)
11) Rex Burkhead (FLEX)
12) Zay Jones (WR)
13) Joe Flacco (BEN)
14) Cameron Brate (BEN)
15) Cairo Santos (K)
16) New York Giants (D/ST)

For some reason I've been drafted into another league and I now for some fucking bizarre reason I cannot access the draft lobby :cab: :moop:

[Dan]

You're definitely getting better at this Pleb. Stop drafting Adam Thielen though :D

[Baz]

Zay Jones. :cool:

[Browning]

Your WRs are going to be shit though, you can't all get Demaryius Thomas in round 7 :cool:

Evans and Landry out is fucking shite.

Do I go with Maclin or Mixon? The alternative is to drop someone (Bortles most likely, but I shouldn't really neglect back up QBs as my 2 starters share a bye week) and add either Jason Witten or Robert Kelley, someone like that.

Already put in Bilal Powell for one of them.

Edit- John Brown is also there.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Hurts me so bad in one league as I only have Ajayi, Derrick Henry and Sproles in one team :\

[Gray Fox]

Why they couldn't move the game to one of the stadiums that's empty this weekend I don't know.

16 straight weeks is going to be hard on them 2. Especially as both would ideally like to be earning a wild card spot.

[Dan]

That's probably going to ruin both teams in the last month of the regular season :moop:

[Pleb]

The urge to start Matt Forte in my leagues this week is disturbingly rising...

[Pleb]

Week One TTH 2017 Preview

Some interesting week one matchups brewing in the TTH 2017 Fantasy League. Believe In Plobs (116.82) faces Agholorious Bastards (127.09) in what will ultimately become the Ezekiel Elliott and LeVeon Bell shit show. Believe In Plobs would probably have to hope and pray to the football gods that Cam Newton decides to actually turn up this season. On paper this is the battle of the QBs but we all know where this matchup is headed. Golden Grahams (122.20) and Equable Rogues (121.83) looks to favour the Golden Grahams if you believe the projected scoring. Demaryius Thomas may prove to be the only player that could fuck up Golden Grahams’s chances of getting the all important W if his questionable groin injury proves to be that critical.

Magic Mike XXL Evans (113.34) will more than likely get decimated by God Hates Jags (128.59) unless a fucking miracle happens by Marcus Mariota going on a fucking tear. With the postponement of the Miami Dolphins game against Tampa Bay moved to week 11, it has already impacted the roster of BiLOL Powell (107.78) as at least three of his players would have been legit starters for week one against Welby Wolves (107.90) who has Aaron Rodgers to help then win what would be a very tight matchup on paper. Last but not at all very least is the Baz’s Bumbandits (112.75) who will probably have to find himself a massive couch to hide behind as he faces the Miami LOLphins (120.52) who has Big Ben and Julio Jones in his starting lineup to probably give Baz’s Bumbandits the loss that he probably doesn’t want if he wants to avoid getting the “El Plebbo” wooden spoon this season.


TTH 2017 Season Projected Standings

Golden Grahams (12-2-0)
Welby Wolves (11-3-0)
Equable Rogues (10-4-0)
Agholorious Bastards (9-5-0)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
God Hates Jags (7-7-0)
Miami LOLphins (7-7-0)
BiLOL Powell (5-9-0)
Believe In Plobs (5-9-0)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Baz’s Bumbandits (3-11-0)
Magic Mike XXL Evans (1-13-0)

Top eight goes into the end of season league playoffs with the top four going for the championship as you may of already gathered. Baz's Bumbandits and Magic Mike XXL Evans are favourites for the "El Plebbo" which is :D if anything. Don't rule out BiLOL Powell and Believe In Plobs in fighting it out for that hideous last spot. This has the making of Equable Rogues defending their championship crown unless the commissioner has everything else to say about that :drool: :cool:

[Baz]

I'm gonna go with my gut this week and if it doesn't work, I'll probably just play the ones Yahoo says will score more, going forward.

The moved game doesn't affect me, right?

[Pleb]

Nope. In fact it's only Ian and Fay's Fall Guys that have been impacted I believe.

[Ian]

I have? Damn it.

Edit: I remember drafting Ajayi. I'll have to check for the others.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Yeah because clearly Mike Evans would have been on my bench.

[Dan]

I forgot about Mahow trades :drool:

I'm not defending, I'm pretty sure about that - Gray Fox is a pretty big favourite in my book. I'm hopeful for a playoff spot though.

[Bartholomert]

I don't understand how I'm predicted to score the most points in Week 1, and yet, I'm projected to go 7-7 overall.

[Browning]

Because it's not always week 1.

[bruhnaldo]

Got his ass

[Gray Fox]

I think my season in both of my leagues rests heavily on what Ezekiel Elliott does in regards to his punishment. If he Bradys it and gets a seasons reprieve then it's all worked out great.

[Gray Fox]

Now we're here I thought I'd share my match up from my other league.

https://i.gyazo.com/453f8a811927c0f7f911b91bde8a6a2e.png

The loss of Evans in week 1 means I lost my projection of bettering my opponent in every skill position. It has lost her both DeSean Jackson and Jay Ajayi who were both arguably likely to start, so swings and roundabouts. No Luck also hinders Hilton a lot, but due to stupid rules I can't change him out without dumping him on waivers.

I've taken a gamble of sorts in not promoting Stafford from the bench and picking up Taylor. The Jets are a contender for #1 pick in 2018 but do at least have a somewhat capable run defence. You get no individual points for returns so Hill should be less of a factor, while Nelson ages another year and plays one of the toughest defences in the league.

My only 2 players across both leagues to play tonight is Kelce, so hoping for him to get some yards and also, Gillislee. He's more of an unknown at this point but if he retains his goal line work load from Buffalo I'm in luck. I'm hopeful of a good win in the work league while expecting a close game of it against Pleb.

I've really missed this.

[Browning]

I'm in the annoying position of starting the Pats DST in 2 leagues but facing them in another, meaning I'm not really sure what I want from them. A good game but not as good as Carolina would probably be the ideal.

I also face at least Gronk and Brady in 1 league each.... so hopefully Gronk limps off injured on the first snap (which is a hand off to him, which he fumbles and loses).

[Pleb]

I completely forgot that I had Tampa Bay as one of my D/ST in one of my random leagues so I've replaced them with the Buffalo Bills and now I feel fucking dirty doing that :sherlock:

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Decided last minute to take out Tyreek Hill for Mike Gillislee in one league.

[Gray Fox]

Just the casual 40 points on your debut for Hunt. Kelce basically the only guy to not get good points is a bit annoying.

[Browning]

Well that's one league I don't need to pay attention to Sunday...

Hunt aside the rest of that seems to have gone well for me.

[Pleb]

I'm wide awake.

[Dan]

KAREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEM :alan: :hail: :wub:

Sorry Browning. If it's any consolation I benched him for Zeke & Christian McCaffery in another league without flex spots.

[Pleb]

My opponent in league 2 benched him :baz:

I would of been long gone if he played him.

[Browning]

Allen Robinson is going to catch 5 97 yards TDs don't worry.

[Gray Fox]

Looks like the risk on Zeke has paid off.

Out of interest, (when)would anyone else have taken him?

[Baz]

Looks like the risk on Zeke has paid off.

Out of interest, (when)would anyone else have taken him?Id have had him as my keeper.

[Dan]

I took him early R2 in another league, and I probably would've taken him if he'd got back to me in R2 in our league.

Kareem Hunt will be better than him anyway :harold:

[Gray Fox]

Has there been a better debut than his?

[Dan]

Nope, most yards from scrimmage in a debut of all time, I believe.

[Pleb]

At what point do we just hand the championship to Dan already?

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

After only 1 game in the whole season has been played ofc.

It's logical.

[Dan]

If you want to just give me the trophy now & we can just do the rest of the year unofficially for the lulz that's fine with me.

[Browning]

So I had a free add in dynasty with Mike Williams being ruled out again and placed on IR for my team, and I've gone with Coby Fleener. It was a tough choice between him, Eli and Chris Thompson (it is a PPR) but I edged to Fleener because all of my TEs (Henry, Howard and Hooper) have question marks and I need one to pan out. I do note that, inexplicably, John Ross has been dropped though. I'm contemplating if he is worth a waiver add but I do note that because of when he's been dropped he stays on Waivers until Wednesday with everyone else, so I guess I'll weigh it up after we see everyone play.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Ross would be a brilliant add in dynasty.

[Browning]

I agree. I'm number 3 in waiver priority and the 2 ahead of me are the 2 I'd be least worried about sniping him to be honest, but we shall see. Unless someone else really breaks out over the week or I get some injuries that give me another need, I think he'll be the guy I target.

[Dan]

Yeah, get John Ross for sure. Not sure why someone would drop him so quickly, especially in dynasty :cab:

Oh, and Seabass has been placed on IR - Raiders have signed some randomer called Giorgio Tavecchio that's been with the team the last four preseasons but never played a real game.

[Browning]

I asked him. He said "he's injured and 4th on the depth chart".

Right....

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Clearly doesn't understand what a dynasty set up is.

Feast away.

[Bartholomert]

About to finish lifting, gunna head back to my apartment, crack open a cold Bud Light, and start drinking / egregiously sports betting all day. Gunna be so awesome I can't wait.

[Dan]

Cooper & the Steelers DEF making a nice start to the day. Also pretty happy with having to start Carson Wentz in my dynasty league so far.

On the other hand, I debated Clay over Eifert, and someone else over Dalton. Should've done both, it seems.

[Dan]

Browning & I picking the two worst QBs of the day :cool:

[Browning]

I knew Palmer was a mistake but I didn't see any way back with Carr as Cooper would nullify him. Game was over anyway so took a punt.

My other leagues are also shit.

[Dan]

My QBs in my four Yahoo leagues are Dalton, Palmer, Cousins & Bradford. I think they have less than 5pts between them so far :drool:

Wentz was doing well in my dynasty league until the pick six. At least Corey Davis is getting a decent number of catches though. Also, I have the Jags in one Yahoo league & the dynasty, where they're currently scoring 26pts.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Ravens defence :cool:

[Dan]

I'm so glad I have Hunt & Brown to cover this utter shitstorm from Dalton. Think I'll be streaming QBs again at this rate.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

I'm so glad I have Hunt & Brown to cover this utter shitstorm from Dalton. Think I'll be streaming QBs again at this rate.

Fancy a QB for a RB?

[Dan]

Sure, which one of the J. Williams squad would you like?

EDIT: Jags currently have 39.28pts in my dynasty league :D They've got 26 in standard Yahoo scoring, which isn't bad either.

[Pleb]

My matchup with Gray Fox is tighter than I thought :drool:

[Bartholomert]

I can't believe I dropped Agholor in both of the leagues I'm in, looks like he'll be targeted a lot this year.

[Gray Fox]

The man has hands made of butter.

Beyond a good team name I just can't trust him.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

I laugh in the face of Yahoo point predictions.

[Dan]

Glad I played Austin Hooper in my dynasty team :drool:

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

David Johnson :harold:

Get fucked Mert.

[Gray Fox]

Started Ertz/Kelce over Hooper. Damn.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Looking like the Ravens D will be more highest scorer this week.

[Dan]

Jags have 44.28 points in my dynasty league. I have them, Hooper (20.8pts) and Wentz (16.98), then nobody else has double figures. Talk about carried.

[Dan]

The combined QBs in my tie with Browning have 0 TDs, 7 INTs & negative points.

[Browning]

I have them and Hooper on my bench in dynasty.....

[Dan]

Scott Tolzien making an early bid to out-shit the pair of them. 1 pass attempt, 1 pick six.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

The combined QBs in my tie with Browning have 0 TDs, 7 INTs & negative points.

It's a combined 0.72 now \0/.

[Gray Fox]

Looks like a loss in the work league. Defence the difference, she has Steelers, I have Texans. Unless Hilton and Zeke go mental.

Looks like a win against Pleb. It's Zeke, Carolina and kicker v Wilson, Baldwin, Cobb and Packers. I have a 45 point head start. Good part of this is any TDs scored by his QB actively take points off his defence.

[Browning]

My main league and TTH are easy losses this week.

My 4th league, the one where I had the ridiculous draft, looks like a rather routine win.

My dynasty still hangs in the balance, but Garcon and Nelson are getting enough catches here to fuck me over. I currently have a 37 point lead (which isn't as much as in a normal league when you get 1.5 PPR) with the Panthers and Watkins playing now and Keenan Allen and Hunter Henry playing tomorrow. He has Garcon, Nelson and Crosby playing now and Dak and Demarius to come.

The Panthers turnover makes it a 40 point lead. It's going to be damn close. If we lose the blame is squarely on the Allen Robinson injury and Kirk Cousins playing like one of my cousins would have.

Edit- Oh and Lev Bell being a cunt.

[Pleb]

I'm wide awake.

[Ian]

Well I'll be losing both of my games. Start as you mean to go on.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

I should go 5/5 this week.

[Browning]

That Nelson TD hurts me so fucking bad.

Somehow, someway I was about a 75% favorite in my main league after being dead and buried earlier, whilst I was also starting to cruise in dynasty. Now my main league is down to 57% and dynasty 61%. Fuck sake.

[Browning]

TTH- Lost easily, of course. As I said I knew Palmer > Carr was dumb, but it was my only hope. Glad it didn't cost me.

Main League- This was all but over, but the late games have spun it. Rodgers missed projection by 10 points, Nelson went over his, but he had Olsen and Benjamin who also did fuck all and Montgomery for me did a lot better than expected. All in all the situation now is he leads by about 8 points but only has Zeke left to play where as I have Diggs, Beasley and Allen. Beasley is a last minute replacement for Odell, which does hurt a bit, but Yahoo rates my chances at 70% which is mental from where we were.

Dynasty- This one is too close to call, and has been up and down all night. I'm leading by 21 points and he has Dak and Demarius Thomas to play where as I have Hunter Henry and Keenan Allen. Yahoo rates my chances at 60% which is fair enough. If we overcome the Robinson injury along with Lev Bell still being on hold out and Cousins letting me down... I'll be delighted.

My 4th league- Seemingly done and dusted. I lead by 17 points and he only has Dalvin Cook (projected 11) and Harrison smith (7) to play compared to me Melvin Gordon (14), Demarius Thomas (16) and Denver Defense (16). Honestly I would take Demarius not showing up if it helps me win in Dynasty though. Not bad for a team that lost Evans and Landry late on.

My autodraft league I don't give a shit about- Also seems to be in the bag despite Robinson and Eifert both being shite. I lead by 48 points and still have Michael Thomas to play against his Rudolph and Vikings DST.

[Browning]

Both games are still up in the air, with Diggs and Allen needing to combine for 24 points in my main league (after Beasley let me down big time) and Allen and Hunter Henry needing to slightly outscore DT between them in Dynasty. Hoping for 2 wins, but fully expecting something to go wrong.

Also some guy in the auto draft league I don't care about has just ruined it for everyone:

[Browning]

Been offered Gurley for Corey Coleman, Derrick Henry OR Keenan Allen in Dynasty. Tempting but not even sure which one I would go for if I wanted to.

My gut is to give up Corey Coleman for him. Allen in a PPR has too much value, assuming he can stay healthy, plus having just lost Robinson and White for the season (my IR is full already...) I'm hurting for starting WRs. Coleman could he slid in as a starting WR, but I think Gurley is too much value to turn down. He didn't have a great running game yesterday, but in our league he put up great points (he's the RB7 so far, my best was Jordan Howard who he beat by 3.5).

Turns out he meant Hunter Henry not Derrick..... that's probably a no go as I don't have great options at TE.

[Gray Fox]

So in my work league someone dropped Blount and Watkins on Friday for Martin and Martavis Bryant. Landry was also dropped.

I'm very interested in one of the two receivers. Having Hilton and Crowder to supplement Evans was a good plan on paper. However the Colts looked turgid without Luck, who looks now out through til mid-October. As such Hilton is now a pretty meh pick and I can only hold 3 WRs at any one time.

Also the Johnson news had me look at the guys team with him, but his 2 other options are Mixon and Gillislee. I could make a play for one of his WRs(Green, Cooper and Larry Fitz) or try and tough the situation out until Luck returns.

[Browning]

I pulled the trigger on Gurley for Coleman, fuck it. I like Corey Coleman but that's just too good to pass up, and now I have Gurley in 4/5 leagues.

Made some moves in my main league too, dropping Beasley, Britt and Gore for Kendall Wright, Agholor and Buck Allen.

Edit- Diggs :drool:

[Bartholomert]

inb4 two more Diggs TDs and me somehow winning this week after sickening underperforms by a bunch of my players

[Pleb]

Baz I'm open to an Adam Thielen trade if your up for it :baz:

[Browning]

If I win in my main league and dynasty it will be truly incredible considering the amount of players that helped me in one while hurting me in the other.

[Bartholomert]

inb4 two more Diggs TDs and me somehow winning this week after sickening underperforms by a bunch of my players

Shiiiett :drool:

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Mert was at 6% to win the game.

Now at 32% thanks to Diggs :uhoh:

[Dan]

Diggs is going to win my me second Yahoo league, and Bradford is going to win me my third, despite me leaving Kareem Hunt on the bench.

I'm up against Diggs in the dynasty league, but I have a 60pt cushion so I should still be okay there :D

[Browning]

Went into tonight needing 24 from Diggs and Allen in my main league. Diggs gets it by half time.

Now all I need is Allen and Hunter Henry combined to outscore DT by 3 points to cap off the perfect week, TTH aside.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

I need Tyrell Williams and Michael Thomas to fend off the late Diggs surge.

[Gray Fox]

You need Bradford to start throwing at Rudolph or you're in trouble.

[Dan]

Why are we still trying to cover Stefon Diggs with De'Vante Harris? More to the point, who the fuck is De'Vante Harris?!

Wrong thread, but you get the point. Just carry on starting every receiver against the Saints.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Or I guess Lutz can just keep kicking field goals.

[Dan]

Lutz is helping keep the Stefon Diggs steamroller at bay in my dynasty league.

[Gray Fox]

Barring a 80+ yard Diggs TD. I think you're safe now.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Don't say something like that, dickhead.

Lutz for vice-president.

[Browning]

Lost by half a point in dynasty thanks to Henry getting 0. :(

[Browning]

Torn between Cohen and John Ross for my waiver in Dynasty.

I don't really need Cohen, especially now that I got Gurley in a trade, but being that Howard is one of my starters, it probably makes sense to get him. Ross on the other hand fills a more specific need in my team (a replacement for Coleman/Robinson/White) but I need him to get on the field as my IR is full.

I also need a new Kicker (I should have fucking stuck with Lutz like I said I would, but I hated all the Monday night stuff and went back to Prater) but can't use a high waiver on one.

Fuck nights with 2 monday night games. Hopefully that doesn't happen again this season.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Lost one by less than 3 poiints.

I should have never trusted a Younghoe.

[Dan]

Pretty good start to the fantasy season for me:

TTH League
Carried by Kareem, obviously. The two Bengals did nothing for me, and I should've started my boy Cooper Kupp, but whatever. Very happy I picked Melvin Gordon over DJ as my keeper.

Yahoo League 2
DJ getting injured hurt a bit, but I have Diggs & Cook, Lutz & the Jags DEF, so we still ended up winning by more than 30pts. Gonna need to explore the RB options on the waiver wire though, as I also have Doug Martin, meaning my only two available RBs are Cook & Bilal Powell.

Yahoo League 3
Good win considering my WRs group was missing Evans & Parker. Martavis did nothing, and Maclin ended up with more than half my total WR points for the week. This is the league where I benched Hunt for McCaffery, but Bradford, Zeke & Lutz combined to give me a 13pt victory.

Yahoo League 4
Closest one of the week. Nobody really stood out, with Gurley's 15pts the highest from any offensive player. Once again though, I have the Jags DEF so Brandon McManus' 6pts last night were enough to give me a 4pt win.

Dynasty
Jags DEF again, so that plus Hooper & Kupp was enough to give me a huge lead on Sunday. He had Diggs & Allen, but still lost by 60pts. He had the Steeler DEF on the bench for the Patriots, and he'd taken the gamble on OBJ playing, but there was no way he could've won even with those changes.

---

Time for a lot of waiver wire hunting, I guess.

[Limoutsonik]

4 leagues,4 wins :drool: Waiver hunting indeed.Thielen,Bradford,A.Smith,Ravens,Rams are on the radar.

[Dan]

I'm not sure I'll be convinced about Bradford/the Vikings offence in general unless they do it again against the Steelers next week. Pretty confident that was as much our shitness as their quality.

Same goes for Alex Smith. Do it two weeks in a row & maybe I'll start to believe.

[Browning]

TTH League: Dead by Thursday night. Oh well.

Main League: I cannot explain what's happened here. In the early games I had my QBs hit their projection, Green and Reed disappointed, Crowell missed his narrowly and defensively Neal and Watt did nothing while the Patriots defense were shit. Meanwhile Ryan disappointed a little for him but Hopkins went off, Fitz had a solid game and Buffalo's defense were considerably better than New England. Things turned around drastically in the late games where, despite Rodgers and Nelson combining for a TD that crippled me, Ty Montgomery and Gurley both did a job while Olsen and Benjamin let him down huge. I was then installed as the heavy favourite and even a big game from Zeke couldn't save him as Diggs won it before Allen even saw the field. I ended up at the top scorer in the league too with 215 points. Next week I take on the guy who beat me in Dynasty and the projections like him to beat me, but he only put up 163 points in week 1.

Dynasty: A heart breaking loss by half a point. I got all the marginal decisions wrong and in the end it killed me. I had Lutz installed but went back to Prater... I very nearly put in Fleener over Hunter Henry last night and I once again trusted Allen Robinson. The injury is the main reason for the loss, but Lev Bell putting up a pathetic 9 points can't be over looked either. We deserved to win this, but it wasn't to be. We look to rebound against the league's lowest scorers who auto drafted having added Todd Gurley via a trade.

4th League: Not even close as we win by over 30 points. His 2 QBs combining for 4 points (Brady 9, Dalton -5) to my 35 (Despite Cousins being shit) obviously helped a lot. He did with a few positional battles, but the game wasn't close. This it the league where I got Demarius Thomas in the 7th so hopefully it'd a sign of things to come and we can dominate it.

Autodraft League: This league is ruined by the cunt who dropped Evans, Fournette and Allen. Not sure what the point is in carrying on, but I'm only there a a favour to a friend. Me and him are the only competent players and I'm already planning for a super bowl against him. Fully expect him to add 2 of the above while I have to settle for one of them. I started Allen Robinson, Jeffrey, Crowell Michael Thomas and Eifert, all of which sucked, and still won by over 40 points in a league with the same roster size as TTH... so that should tell you the level of competition.

[Limoutsonik]

I'm not sure I'll be convinced about Bradford/the Vikings offence in general unless they do it again against the Steelers next week. Pretty confident that was as much our shitness as their quality.

Same goes for Alex Smith. Do it two weeks in a row & maybe I'll start to believe.

I have main QB's and Defence that i won't part but it's nice having decent backups.

EDIT: Raiders defence and skill position players would be a nice addition to your lineups since they are playing the 0-16 bound New York Jets.

[bruhnaldo]

muhfuhs have 8 fantasy leagues excited to win smh.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

TTH League: Mert :harold: West, Lutz (former Baltimore tryout) and the Ravens D beasting it.

$40 buy in league: I was expecting to lose by 12 points and it looked like I was going to get roasted after opening night as Gronk stunk for me and Tyreek Hill starred for him. Fortunately the Ravens D (I had them and he had Dalton) swung it into my favour. Only Ravens D, Keenan Allen and Will Lutz gained more than their projection. My RBs (Derrick Henry and Sproles, luckily I have Ajayi waiting) stunk so I'm going to be in trouble moving forward.

Smaller IDP league: Was looking shaky as he had Bradford who had destroyed the lead I had but the TD thrown to Rudolph (on my team) sealed my win thankfully, had that TD not gone to him I'd have lost. I left Hill on the bench which wont happen again.

Huge fuck off mega IDP dynasty league with 1 million roster spots each: My offence was fucking shit with only Cousins, Miller, Howard and Walker getting double figures (there are so many bonuses that anything lower is horseshit) with Doctson even getting 0. Luckily Mosley (fuck you Browning), Fletcher Cox, Glover Quinn and Brandon Graham pushed me just over my opponent.

Random Yahoo draft: My only loss this week (I think it was the only one I was predicted to win too) by a margin of 2.5, or the Younghoe Koo miss. Greg Olsen and Lev Bell (dickhead) didn't help either too but I still should have won.

[Browning]

If it makes you feel better, I've picked up the Baltimore defense in my main league.

Mosley wasn't very good once again in it though. He put up 10 points which wasn't in the top 25 for his position, though it was better than Wagner that I went with.

May need to replace Wagner in my 2 IDP leagues.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

My leagues are kinder to IDP's. He got 16 points in the smaller one and 20 in the bigger one. Only Gillislee and Hill (bench) scored more than him in the smaller one for me and he was only outscored by Brandon Graham in my second.

[Dan]

Just seen that I predicted every match correctly in the pick'em :drool:

[Pleb]

Believe In Plobs (TTH League): Got massively bumfucked by Gray Fox the sexy fucker. My Wide Receivers and Running Backs (apart from Jordan Howard) did fuck all and Amendola is concussed which shouldn't affect his flex spot hopefully. I think I may need a new team and badly :D

All About The Angles (Yahoo League 1): Thielen (:cool:), Coleman, Howard and Mariota giving me the huge W against a guy who was hoping that Brady didn't shit the bed on Thursday night.

The Pleb Train (Yahoo League 2): Tied...(https://postimg.org/image/8jjt65e51/)...literally cannot complain about this matchup.

Holy Matt Ryan (ESPN): ...aka the team I couldn't access the draft lobby for but besides the point I won this matchup and I dunno how but all I know is that Matt Ryan and a Rams Defence carried by team to a tight win.

Suck It Gravity (ESPN): Lost because of a shite Kirk Cousin and a rampant Kareem Hunt. Waivers are needed badly for this league as well.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

How do you tie with decimal point scoring? That's mental.

Why did you not start Diggs though?

[Limoutsonik]

Just released David Johnson....

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Bold.

I don't think I'd be able to, unless roster spots are sparse.

[Limoutsonik]

Well,i am only participating in official NFL leagues so i can always try to add weekly waiver targets depending on the matchups.A risky strategy but having a non-playing person in my roster,in my mind at least,is wrong.

[Pleb]

How do you tie with decimal point scoring? That's mental.

Why did you not start Diggs though?
No idea. Probably thought Cobb and Green over Diggs would give me the points, obviously not.

[Browning]

I've decided not to Waiver claim anyone in Dynasty this week. John Ross is the guy I'd want but I feel like he's going to clear waivers and I should be able to add him for free in the morning. People just aren't looking at injured guys at all in that league. If I miss out, oh well, I need to save the high waiver for someone who can help my team currently.

My main league doesn't have waivers (I know...) so I already added the players I posted before, plus the Ravens DST, so that's been a good week (Even if Fay's Fall Guys beat me to the bigger waiver targets).

In my 4th league I'm considering putting in a claim for the Ravens DST. My team is really strong, but I don't fancy the Denver or Minnesota DSTs this week looking at their match ups. It does feel like a waste when I have 2 of the best units in the game, but my match this week could be close. I'll probably put in a claim for them and drop Kenny Shitt.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

In one of my leagues I have 200 waiver points for the season.

I don't feel like it's going to last me long.

I don't even know if the points I'm offering is high or low.

[Gray Fox]

Pleb :facepalm:

[Browning]

John Ross didn't clear waivers :( For fuck sake. I do need WR help in that league and it's tough to find anything. I really thought I could get him. Hopefully someone breaks out soon as the 2 people who are still ahead of me for Waivers didn't bother to claim so seem inactive. I was able to get Clay and Lutz back for free.

I'm tempted to reverse that Pleb claim, because that's fucking stupid.

I did manage to get Keenan Allen and Carlos Hyde in that fucked up league too.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Pleb :\

[Dan]

Pleb regretting not drafting Smith early again this year then :)

[Pleb]

The wrong claim was on the top of my waivers list :moop:

[Ian]

I've had a tie in a league with decimal scoring too. I've also had wins and defeats of 0.02 or less. :moop:

[Browning]

Due to Cousins struggling (fucking hurry up and come back Luck...) coupled with the fact that people like Robinson went on IR at a point where I couldn't replace them due to everyone being on Waivers, I've got 5 fucking QBs in my Dynasty league excluding Luck (Cousins, Tyrod, Bradford, Cutler and Mahomes). I desperately need to cut/trade 1-2 of them to get some back up WRs (behind my starters, Hopkins, Watkins, Cooper and Allen, I only have Sterling Shepherd and Ted Ginn....) but I have no idea what to do there. Mahomes is along term stash, Tyrod is the only one who looked decent week 1, Cousins is my "starter" but I'm concerned about him, Cutler has some lovely match ups coming if Cousins still struggles and Bradford looks promising plus may move next year to a better situation. The more pressing matter is who to start week 2, with all the research I've done suggested Palmer would be better than all of them.... but he's dead to me.

[Browning]

What the fuck are you doing cutting Smith and not adding anyone? Jesus.

[Bartholomert]

Anyone wanna trade me RBs for any of my WRs?

[Pleb]

What the fuck are you doing cutting Smith and not adding anyone? Jesus.
I've tried adding Wilson again. Couldn't for some weird reason then I tried adding Palmer and the claim won't go through till Saturday :moop:

[Browning]

Yea you can't waiver claim someone you dropped yourself and Palmer has only just been dropped.

Trade Cousins.

He's the one you're going to get the most back for, and you'll still be fine streaming between Cutler, Bradford & Tyrod, who you could probably also trade away if you had to.

[Bartholomert]

My team fucking sucks after the David Johnson injury. I don't even want to play anymore :(

[Dan]

Brandin Cooks & the Houston DEF will score 30pts each if week one is anything to go by, so you should be fine for this week,

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Your team is absolutely woeful.

You'll be in the sacko with Pleb.

[Pleb]

Did you not know that you and I are bookies favourites for the El Plebbo? :baz:

[Gray Fox]

I was happy to let Pleb have Wilson back but he's had Bradford now so enjoy a free Russel Wilson, whoever is 1st priority. As for my waivers it was either Cohen or Golladay. I'm a bit lacking in case of sudden Zeke suspension, so opted for the RB.


Onto my work league and things have got interesting. I have received a trade offer of LaGarette Blount, Julio Jones and Antonio Gates for Zeke Elliott and Travis Kelce. Considering I have Howard and Shady in place at RB already it's tempting to negotiate. It essentially boils down to swapping RB 2 for WR 2.

I've also been asked to name my price for Mike Evans by another player. Said player has also already offered me AJ Green and Njoku for Evans so there is a clear desire there.

Keenan Allen, Alshon Jeffery, Sammy Watkins and Randall Cobb all hit the waiver wire this week too. All of those seem better bets than my WR2 and 3 which are Hilton and Crowder. May well drop one or both.

Also offloading Luck for any price is on my list now. His return just moves further back with each day and he's a problem I just don't want to deal with.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Did you not know that you and I are bookies favourites for the El Plebbo? :baz:

I was until I battered Pleb.

Projections mean nothing, I'll be closer to the top than bottom.

[Browning]

I genuinely meant to have 6 teams in the Play Offs as per last year (I even posted about it earlier in the thread, I'm sure) but have just checked and it's currently set to 4. Any objections to changing it? If so I'll keep it at 4, but I did enjoy the last day drama before.

Yeah that sounds like a great idea because DRAMA!!!!

[Gray Fox]

6 is better for last game drama usually. You usually get one or two streaking off anyway, but leaving it at 4 can have people out of it halfway through the season.

[Baz]

Dropped someone by accident while trying to sub them. Sums me up, really.

[Browning]

Dropped someone by accident while trying to sub them. Sums me up, really.

I will give him back to you if you want as that's clearly a genuine mistake, but he is injured so it might be the right call anyway. Up to you.

[Baz]

I will give him back to you if you want as that's clearly a genuine mistake, but he is injured so it might be the right call anyway. Up to you.Its okay don't worry. Thanks though.

[Gray Fox]

I'm currently mulling over 2 offers from 2 other owners.

AJ Green, Mixon and David Johnson for Zeke and Evans
This one is obviously dependant on how Johnson does in recovery. But I'd be able to store him on our IR til then.

The other is a Blount and Julio Jones for Zeke offer.

Would anyone make either of those trades?
Head says the first offer is more of a sideways move than anything. But I was wondering what TTH thinks.

[Pleb]

I'm thinking the first one. Isn't David Johnson out for the entire season or thereabouts?

[Dan]

Zeke is miles better than Mixon, Evans is better than Green, and Johnson is probably out until December. I'll stick with Zeke & Mike, who are the two best players in the whole trade. As for the second one, Blount isn't a good enough add-on for me to swap Zeke for Julio.

Only way these trades become more worth considering is if we start hearing that a Zeke suspension is more likely again, and even then it'd have to be a full season 'commissioner exempt' one, as he'd probably still be out less games than DJ with his six game suspension enforced.

[Browning]

Johnson is done for the fantasy season, so no.

The second one I would try and replace Blount with a better RB and then consider it, depending who your other options are at both positions.

[Gray Fox]

Didnt realise Johnson was out for quite so long. I had week 8 in my mind for some reason.
The guys other options at RB are Bell and McCaffery. Mine are Shady and Howard.

I had Hilton and Crowder as my other 2 WRs but as both looked in turgid offences in W1 I've picked up Allen for the latter.

[bruhnaldo]

My team fucking sucks after the David Johnson injury. I don't even want to play anymore :(

trade me your good players

[Pleb]

Week Two TTH 2017 Preview

With week one and the rise of Kereem Hunt already in the history books for the revamped TTH Fantasy Football League we head into week two in what we can describe it as utter carnage and complete stupidity. The owner of Believe In Plobs (114.07) must have had a massive MELTDOWN as his waiver claims were fucked up as he sensationally dropped QB Russell Wilson for Alex Smith then dropped Smith, tried to get back Wilson but instead went for Sam Bradford, what a bizarre plebroll that was. Would that affect his matchup with Golden Grahams (124.84)? He does have Derek Carr who is playing the Jets this week who is projected to massively outscore Cam Newton at the moment oddly enough.

Baz’s Bumbandits (123.38) and Welby Wolves (123.29) could be heading into the league’s first ever decimal tie (or thereabouts) matchup if you believe yahoo’s projection shite. I wouldn’t. Let’s hope TB12 turns up this week then otherwise Aaron Rodgers and company will probably run riot as usual. The league’s early bookie favourites Equable Rogues (119.62) and Kareem Hunt will easily see off the Miami LOLphins (119.59) right? Nope, another tie (or thereabouts) apparently according to Yahoo! Someone fire the projected scoring stat guy and hire Pleb pronto. Magic Mike XXL Evans (123.44) faces Agholorious Basterds (122.39) in a WWE SummerSlam 2017 style monstrous match up with Mike Evans versus Ezekiel Elliott tearing down the house no doubt. The last matchup of week two is God Hates Jags (112.49) and Kirk Cousins versus BiLOL Powell (113.95) and Drew Brees in which both teams are hoping that everyone bar the Quarterbacks can score some decent enough points.


Current League Standings

Agholorious Basterds (1-0-0)
Equable Rogues (1-0-0)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Magic Mike XXL Evans (1-0-0)
Miami LOLphins (1-0-0)
BiLOL Powell (1-0-0)
God Hates Jags (0-1-0)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Believe In Plobs (0-1-0)
Baz’s Bumbandits (0-1-0)
Welby Wolves (0-1-0)

Kareem Hunt sending Browning to the bottom of the pile while Mert looks to be holding onto dear life for a wildcard spot in the revamped offseason playoffs. Gray Fox and Dan hugging the top two then. As you were then gents. Will Sir Andy Mahowry challenge for the top two this season? I highly doubt it.

[Dan]

Apparently OBJ said he's dealing with a 6-8 week injury :cab:

[Browning]

But he's already been recovering from it for about 4 weeks, so it shouldn't be too bad.

[Pleb]

On the plus side I have a QB issue again :moop: :baz:

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

I wonder why.

[Gray Fox]

Russel Wilson is available on waivers.

[Browning]

Trade Cam Newton to me for a kicker and then your problems are solved.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Don't tempt him.

[Pleb]

Like fuck am I giving you Tucker for Lutz :D

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

It's fine, you'll end up swapping him for Younghoe Koo when he goes and bangs in 4 50+ yarders in one game.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

I also didn't realise that a man who drops their third round pick Russell Wilson for Alex Smith was capable of common sense.

My work league matchup for this week.

https://i.gyazo.com/e9775157c82b56060d8d756afbb41812.png

He's just become a dad for the first time so hasn't bothered to touch his team yet for whatever reason. But assuming his line-up doesn't change, I'm potentially up 3 players. Woodhead is obviously gone and he has no head coach. I'm hoping to avoid starting 0-2 here.

As for my choices, I only have 3. Keep faith in Stafford or stream Rivers for the week. Shady or Howard and lastly, whether to swap one of my TE out for Hooper.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Really?

That trade is fucking stupid.

[Browning]

Waking up to a notification of a trade offer from Pleb is a weird feeling.

[bruhnaldo]

I know ya'll are fucking with me right? Wentz for Cam fuckin Newton?

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Cancel it because this is stupid, Pleb is fucking up the league.

[Pleb]

You know you can all vote against it.

[Browning]

I'm considering the best approach here. There's no way I'm having the trade cancelled but Wilson still go through on waivers so most likely I will reverse both.

[Dan]

Pleb :cool:

[Browning]

Sorted.

[Dan]

You just knew I have the third waiver claim & either I was going to get myself a proper QB or someone that didn't need him was going to have to waste a roster spot to stop him coming to me :nodd:

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

The right decision made.

Stop being a mong, Pleb.

[Pleb]

:cool:

Cheers Browning.

[Dan]

Can't decide who to start in my third FLEX spot in my 0.5PPR dynasty league. Currently got Derrick Henry there, but I'm not feeling too confident given he's up against the Jags & only had five or six carries last week. However, my only other viable options are :

1. Corey Davis - also on the Titans, meaning he'll be up against Ramsey & Bouye, but probably their best WR. Also possibly still on a snap count.
2. Paul Richardson - a low volume guy that I'd be hoping caught a deep ball against the 49ers. He does seem to catch a 30+ yarder quite often though.
3. One of the Raiders backups (Washington & Richard) - they're playing the Jets, so maybe they'll get a TD when Lynch needs a rest?

My RBs are so shit in that league :D I do have a beastly cast of receivers though.

[Browning]

Corey Davis, no question. Henry is only going to be viable if/when Murray goes down.

[Limoutsonik]

Is it an obsession having 6 teams currently running? :baz::baz: I can't get enough and i am always trying to trade for players although no one seems to even consider my trades.This is so addicting.

[Browning]

Personally I hate having 5 teams (although one of them I pay no attention to other than set the line up) and would like to cut it down to about 3 for next season, but I doubt that'll happen. I just hate being in games where a player doing well helps me in 1 league and hurts me in another, kind of takes away part of the fun.

I really need a win in Dynasty today as going 0-2 would really annoy me, especially after losing by half a point last week with Henry scoring 0 and Robinson limping off injured after 1 play. I'm facing the "worst team" in the league but he's projected to beat me, mainly due to Brady. It better not happen.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

We've had a HUGE trade in the mental IDP dynasty league.

Kareem Hunt, a 5th round pick and a 6th round pick for Marlon Mack, a 1st round pick and a second round pick.

Second team really wants to win this year.

[Browning]

I don't really get how trading draft picks works in a dynasty league.

Let's say for example I trade Player X and a 20th round pick for Player Y and a 15th round pick.... isn't that kind of pointless given that we will both almost certainly fill those spots with keepers, and thus gain extra picks at the top of the draft? This is assuming the system that Mahow uses where the keepers fill out your board from the bottom up (which is what I intend to use in mine).

I've implemented a rule where if you obtain an extra draft pick in a round, you can still only have one keeper in that round. So for example if I trade a player for a 15th round pick straight up, I can't put 2 keepers into round 15, so I will actually have to pick someone in round 15, rather than gaining an extra keeper spot and thus an extra pick at the top of the draft. But I have no idea if that's logical or game breaking in some way, it was just the only solution I had.

Hopefully my league doesn't completely fail when we come to the year 2 draft. :D

[Gray Fox]

Opponent still hasn't altered his team, so I'm up a head coach(I have Seahawks who have 49ers at home) and a RB. He does however have players likely to make up those lost points. I have Evans back this week and have brought in Rivers and Allen to start. I'm not sure I trust Stafford enough to start him against a tougher Giants secondary.

Hopefully I don't go 0-2 here. I've never even started 0-1 in any league so it'd an odd feeling.

[Dan]

Corey Davis, no question. Henry is only going to be viable if/when Murray goes down.

Yeah, I'm leaning Davis, even though it looks like both Jags CBs will play. Not expecting more than 5pts from whoever I play there though.

I don't even know if that's good value or not :D

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Sounds like he's a KC fan:

"I thought I traded for hunt in all my leagues. This is the only league i didn't have him in. I was going to accept anything you counter with lol I'm making mixon my first round pick for next year's draft lol"

[Bartholomert]

Who dropped Crowder :cab: ?

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Bruh.

Nice to see that you're aiming to win the Crocked Bowl btw.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

I've missed Mike Evans.

[Gray Fox]

Me too. Bittersweet in that I both have him and face him this week.

Even if it wasn't a TD.

[Dan]

Didn't pay attention to my random Yahoo leagues so I have John Brown over Dez in one, and Maclin over Martavis in the other :moop:

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Thought I was crazy to start 2 Baltimore RBs.

Glad I did.

[Browning]

Drew Brees and Tom Brady are both such massive cunts.

Brady for beating me on his own in Dynasty and Brees for forgetting who his top target from last week was to mean that through almost 1.5 games I still have 0 points from my TEs.

[Dan]

I'm doing really well with QBs so far this year :moop:

[Browning]

I dropped Palmer, knowing he had the Colts this week, for a reason.

He's completely finished. He was finished last season.

[Dan]

I was hoping the Colts defence would out-bad him & he'd have a good game, but it doesn't seem likely. Should've stuck with Flacco, clearly.

[Dan]

Yeah, I'm leaning Davis, even though it looks like both Jags CBs will play. Not expecting more than 5pts from whoever I play there though.

Guess which Titan I went with :(

[Browning]

Le'Veon Bell is so shit too. I swear every time I face him he get 40 catches for 5000 yards and 27 TDs. But the 2 weeks I start him.... fuck all.

Edit- Yep, he somehow gets 125 yards per catch, I swear.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

I might lose one matchup this week because of the Tampa D.

25 fucking points.

I've never wanted a Bears TD more (hell a few FGs will do).

[Dan]

Kareem dragging me into my matchup again :wub:

Fucking Derrick Henry on my dynasty bench though :panda:

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Thank you Glennon.

[Pleb]

I'm 5-0 in my leagues this week at the moment :sherlock:

[Bartholomert]

My team fucking sucks after the David Johnson injury. I don't even want to play anymore :(

This.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Think that Crabtree TD has killed me off.

Needed more I feel as Crabtree wont be done and I can't see Freeman holding off the charge.

[Browning]

Fairly sure the worst team in the league has dicked me in dynasty thanks to just Brady.

What fucking sucks is my game in my main league is on a knife edge but he has Cousins and I have Reed, which is the opposite of my Dynasty league.... so everything they do is positive and negative for me.

I guess I just need Todd Gurley to run in 5 TDs and win both games on his own.

[Browning]

Another Crabtree TD kills what little hope there was in dynasty. Fuck Cousins now. Hope he gets wrecked.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Fuck that sorry ass receiver.

Hopefully the Cowboys forget that 'Zeke exists.

[Gray Fox]

Our match seems to be coming down to Zeke v Freeman.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Yep, it's over.

Freeman will barely break double figures.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

I hate Crabtree so much.

[Gray Fox]

Apparently Howard was seen in a sling following todays game.

[Dan]

Guess we'll see if Tarik Cohen can take a full workload despite being about the same size as a kicker.

[Dan]

Five of RBs on my roster scored more than 10pts today :drool:

I also have Crabtree & Gurley in one team.

[Ian]

Gurley running riot to get me back in the game.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

'Zeke is keeping me in this.

[Gray Fox]

He's costing me in both leagues. What the hell is he/are they doing?

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Denver D is key.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

He's costing me in both leagues. What the hell is he/are they doing?

I have him in one league and my opponent has Gurley.

Should have been an easy win but it's not over. I could do with Demaryius doing more as well as Tate and Golladay doing better than their predictions on Monday. Currently projected to lose by about 7.5 points so I could still pull it out.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Goodnight sweet prince.

That should be 2-0, Yahoo and their predictions can suck a dick.

[Bartholomert]

Five of RBs on my roster scored more than 10pts today :drool:

I also have Crabtree & Gurley in one team.

I need RBs pls.

[Gray Fox]

Had a tough situation. Both opponents have Falcons. If they ran the ball more, I lose in TTH, but if Ryan picks up the points I lose in the work league. I needed a balance between the two but 22 points from Freeman means I'm left needing a 33 point game from Stafford or I'm 1-1 in TTH.
In the work league, barring Golden Tate picking up more than 27 points, I also go to 1-1. What hasn't helped is my "extra players." I'm technically 2 up, with him having not players a HC and having played Woodhead. That combined with Rudolph and OJ Howard should have seen me out of sight. But again my RBs let me down. A combined 6.5 points between Shady and Zeke was blitzed by Gurley. Hence why he has a decent chance now. The way this weekend has gone, Tate will have the game of his career.

[Browning]

Main League- Taking on the guy who beat me by half a point in dynasty.... we record a very easy win. My only major let down was Diggs putting up 5 points which still covered DeMarco Murray. Some of the match ups were close, but we smashed it at RB where Gurley and Montgomery put up 58 points to the 15 scored by Murray and Cook. We lead 217-186 with only Landon Collins to play for him while we have Odell Beckham, or Shane Vereen if Beckham can't go. We move to 2-0 and should retain top spot.

Dynasty League- Despite the fact I really liked my team compared to his other than at QB/TE, we got absolutely smashed, going down 143-168 thanks completely to Brady and Crabtree (and also Kelce to an extent). His team is awful so this could really haunt us at the end of the season. We go to 0-2 and seem likely to be the only team to start with that record. Next week we take on the team I consider the best team (for this year, not for dynasty) so that's bound to be a win.

TTH- A win! Far from a convincing one, but I'll take it. Will move off the bottom, but likely not by much.

4th League- We currently trail by just under 2 points, but we have Golden Tate left to play. Assuming he can get 1 catch for 10 yards or so, we'll wrap this up. It seemed to already be done, by Ty Montgomery has given him the slim hope. With the top 2 struggling, I should move from 3rd to top of the table, although a BS trade (as per every year) may have made the owner favorite to win this league despite his loss to me last week. Might quit after this year because that literally happens every year.

Auto Draft League- Don't care, but I'm going to 2-0 as long as Tate doesn't get 17 points with a full PPR. He very much could do it (he did last week) but I hope not.
