Taking this league down because Arti's team decided to put up a potential sub-100 score when he's been averaging 165 points and never dipped below 127 points all year.

hell yeah >.>

I yelled loudly when he quoted the Tragedy of Darth Plagueis

just silence in the theater and Palps says unnatural and like a lightsaber lighting up, my voice YEAAAAAH!

i laughed really loudly for like 3 seconds when he said "Do it!"

I hate Yahoo because I wasn't allowed to even put a waiver claim in on Denver DST because I dropped them during the morning games for a flier WR after Godwin went down T_T

@Arti @VeryInsane

Which of y'all am I gonna smoke next week?

Reg posted...

oh

I left an out player in my lineup for tonight's game because I was too busy doing other things to notice that he was even injured zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

I left in the Jets DST in one league T_T

So I may have won my first playoff match, but I lost my RB1, RB2, and Flex in the process.

maybe my QB as well, depending on what happens with Jameis.

Benched Cook though.

Gonna need Sanders to do nothing and Alshon to produce to pull ahead here.

yeah, losing both Guice AND Penny in the first halves really hurts >.<

In one league, I started Tannehill instead of Brees...

At least you're started Brees against me >.>

HanOfTheNekos posted...

Things went pretty meh for me this year. Could still work for playoffs but... not sure it's going to happen. There's no waiver depth in this league and that honestly makes it pretty boring.

@HanOfTheNekos Congrats, you made it, most likely.

Two scenarios:

Scenario 1: Diggs outscores Wilson by 14 points (ie Xeravis beats Wickle)

1. Arti
2. Nana
3. VI
4. Wickle
5. CarlG
6. Xeravis

Scenario 2: Diggs does not outscore Wilson by 14

1. Arti
2. Wickle
3. Nana
4. VI
5. CarlG
6. Han

Likely scenario is the latter... so looks like I'll see you next week.

Personally need Carson to get phased out of work because I've been looking for a reasonable RB all season and picked up Penny an hour before the games last weekend >.>

Only time I've gotten any RB production has been the two weeks when Kamara was out and I could comfortably start Latavius.

Reg posted...

there are still scenarios where I make it into the top two what the fuck

More or less involves me losing one, Wickle losing one, Bell losing out, Insane losing out, and you winning out.

Total of 5.5 games need to go right for you

Edit: made possible specifically because Bell(Arti?) losing out includes one of your wins and Wickle has to lose this week, as Wickle has to beat VI (insane?) in week 13, and the half game is because I can lose to either Han OR Suprak.

Now that we have less than 20 remaining games in the season, you can fit all the possible permutations of ways the season can end by feeding the schedule into Microsoft excel and looking at all the possible ways the season ends (2^14, or 16,384 possible scenarios).

Here are the odds (rounded to nearest whole percent) of Tied for top 2 or better / Tied for Top 6 or better (ie playoffs)

Gonna use league names because I don't have everyone paired.

Bell: 94 / 100
Insane: 83 / 100
DangeRuss: 50 / 100
Me: 50 / 100
Adora: 13 / 81
Bad Joke: 13 / 81
Han: 0 / 56
TopNep: 0 / 56
Jack: 0 / 30
Tebow: 0 / 30

All remaining players (Blackjack and Hookers, Whisky Bills, Essence of Bad, and Zanarkand Abes) are fully eliminated from the playoffs.

Thearkofturus

Yes.

I'd feel a lot better about it if I were the one who got Brian Hill.

Was helped substantially by Wickle actually having a reasonable semblence of RBs and not needing him.

Glad I wasn't the only one who put in a claim and burned my waiver priority for no reason [like with Latavius Murray]

@TheArkOfTurus

Big game in B8 league this week 0_0

Man I'm 4-6 in a 12 team but currently sitting in 7th.

I have the tiebreaker over the 5th place guy (5-5) if I win out (I play him) so still have a chance.

Nanahara715 posted...

I'm 0-2.

Most points against.

Have faced the top two highest scoring teams.

Supposed to be smooth sailing from here on out, right?

Answer: Yes. 8 weeks later, 7-3 and in third place. My first two week opponents... 1 and 2 at 8-2 each.

Not sure who TopNep is in the B8 league, but I picked up the NYG DST, had to drop them for Jacob Hollister to cover George Kittle, and ended up having to start the Seattle DST... my opponent picked up the NYG DST and started them instead of me >.> so yeah, I appreciate that move a lot.

TheArkOfTurus posted...

I need this more than anyone! Yahoo still thinks I'll run the table, but I'm pretty sure I'm dead if I lose this game.

Does Yahoo have a final standings projection?

TheArkOfTurus posted...

I was really looking forward to starting Jacoby Brissett. I had been kind of wanting to start him over Goff for awhile, but the match-ups never justified it. This week, Goff was finally on his bye, and the schedule ahead made starting him much more justified.

Then T.Y. got injured (immediately after I dropped Pascal.) Then Brissett got injured after 5 passes. D'oh.

I need you to not collapse so I can move up to 3rd place.

I feel bad because my team is so garbage it doesnt matter for me at all. Hopefully it doesnt completely ruin your season.

I offered you Juju instead too!

Honestly Juju has looked pretty bad this season and Brissett > Rudolph

but oh well

Juju has looked bad, but has he really? He's given you 75+ yards in all games except Cincy (blowout for Pitt) and LA (3rd strong QB and also kind of a blowout).

Two of those games were against the vaunted New England and San Fran defenses.

LiquidOshawott posted...

Man just when I trade for TY Hilton he goes out for 3 to 4 weeks on an injury for practice

ouch

And Suprak added Josh Gordon with the spot he freed up trading him away.

I feel slightly sleezy because my opponent in one league didn't have a kicker (Tucker on bye) and I guess was waiting to see if he would need to drop him for a kicker. He's down 9 (with 1 player to go) so I scooped both of tonight's kickers just to block him >.>

Tried to do the same with QBs in another league, but got outbid on Rudolph T_T

I'm 2-5 in my main league and basically need to run the table. My two starting RBs were Zeke (Bye) and Kerryon (IR)

I need a win. Am I crazy for trading Zeke for Jacobs (starter past his bye week) and Ty Johnson (Kerryon replacement)?

Trade Zeke for Fournette or Bell?

I've got the following RBs- Zeke, Kerryon, David Montgomery, Miles Sanders, Duke Johnson, Malcolm Brown, Darrell Henderson

Basically, I'm starting garbage at RB this week because Zeke is on a bye and Kerryon is out. I'm 2-5 and need a win.

I have 4 leagues in the bag, 1 completely lost, and Need 28 HPPR from Darnold, Crowder, and Nugent tomorrow night. Would have 5 won if I'd left Edmonds in my flex instead of Trevor Davis...

I have Nugent and Dorsett in a couple places, considering dropping them for players on bye (Curtis Samuel, AB, etc)

Kamara declared out and Latavius Murray is on the waiver wire because he was dropped 2 days prior... and I'm the only one who put in a claim.

At 4 PM, I needed Zeke and Hilton to outscore Rivers and MVS by 20. Then MVS and Rivers shat the bed and I needed 11 from Hilton. Won't get it.

I just realized that the B8 league has 6 bench spots, not 5 >.>

Whoops.

turbopuns3 posted...

I just need a casual 75 from Juju tomorrow night.

What a coincidence, I only need 57 points from Juju.

I benched Godwin in two leagues because I didn't have a good backup plan.

Turns out I'm going to win one of those leagues by like 10 and I lost the other league by 36 points, but would've only lost by 0.6 points if I'd started Godwin, so it didn't matter.

Might get my first win in the B8 league after starting the season against literally the top 3 highest scoring teams.

Kerryon Johnson for Sony Michel straight up?

Kerryon Johnson & TY Hilton for Sony Michel / Keenan Allen?

HPPR

I'm 0-2.

Most points against.

Have faced the top two highest scoring teams.

Supposed to be smooth sailing from here on out, right?

I faced the Patriots DST in 3/6 of my leagues :/

Super late, but I have a guy who abandoned a team in the NFLB league? Does anyone want it right now?

MysteriousStan posted...

Well it only took 1 week for the league I'm in with a couple coworkers to turn into a joke.

This Vikings fan traded away David Johnson and Michael Thomas for Kirk Cousins and Adam Thielen.

Guess I don't have to try too hard in that one now!

Kelce owner in mine dropped Hockenson for... Jason Witten (And I only have #3 waiver priority argh)

This guy is supposedly pretty knowledgeable about football, too!

(Somebody else picked up Gronkowski, but that surprises me less)

This is why you need to use a FAAB system

Which reminds me: @Suprak_the_Stud why did we not have a vote on moving to a FAAB waiver system?

I lost by 2 because of the late Emmanuel Sanders TD psd T_T

Brilliant games by Hopkins and Watkins just wasted.

Started Watkins and still gonna lose.

If you're using the Sleeper App for any leagues (which we aren't here RIP), they just implemented customizable daily waivers.

Do we have a rule about playing incomplete rosters?

Like, there's rumors that the SF/TB game will be postponed due to the hurricane, and 5 of my STARTERS are in this game- I would need to drop minimum 3 players for replacement QB, TE, LB and would leave me with no depth. I would rather punt the week in this instance.

So, every player is listed as waivers until tomorrow. Is there a free agency period where I can pick up a player for free on Wednesday? I do not have a kicker.

Reg posted...

Is streaming defenses/kickers not a thing in dynasty leagues?

It can be, and that's what I'm doing with my kicker, but most of the teams are holding 2 DST. I have Cowboys to open the season and the Steelers for 4&5 (home v Cincy and Baltimore)

Guys my dynasty league has final cuts due. Who should I cut? Need to cut 3 players. This is a 2 QB/2 RB/3 WR/TE/Flex/DST/K with 17 bench and an IR spot.

QBs: Cam Newton, Kyler Murray, Sam Darnold, Jacoby Brissett

RBs: Alvin Kamara, Derrick Henry, Royce Freeman, Jaylen Samuels, Chase Edmonds, Malcolm Brown, CJ Prosise, Kenneth Dixon (IR), Ty Johnson, Bryce Love, Dexter Williams, Brian Hill, Elijah McGuire

WRs: Stefan Diggs, Christian Kirk, Dede Westbrook, Will Fuller, Albert Wilson, Tre'quan Smith, Josh Reynolds, Quincy Enunwa, Justin Watson

TE: Austin Hooper, Mike Gesicki, Rob Gronkowski

DST: Cowboys, Steelers

K: Matt Gay

Thinking I should cut Steelers (wire is thin for DST though), McGuire (unclaimed), and not sure who the last one should be- Brian Hill? Would love to cut Dixon but Bryce Love isn't eligible for the IR spot since he's on the NFI list.

TheArkOfTurus posted...

Tried an ESPN draft. Picked 4th out of 12. Got Elliot in the first, and Chubb in the second, so it was like I had the 4th AND 5th picks!!!

(Seriously, why did Yahoo have Chubb that high?)

(I still prefer Yahoo, by the way.)

Picked 6th in a taco draft last week, got Kamara at 1.06, Zeke at 2.07 because everyone was "don't trust Jerry Jones."

davidponte posted...

Shady cut by the Bills after they spent the entire offseason assuring everyone he would not be cut.

Bills sign Frank Gore.

Bills sign TJ Yeldon.

Bills drafts Devin Singletary in 3rd round.

"Trust us, McCoy is safe"

Do we have a draft order set yet?

I'm at a convention so my time is messed up.

Remove IDP so we don't need to have a separate vote on their scoring settings

So what's the decision on votes?

We are drafting tonight, can we find out what lineup we need to be looking at?

TheArkOfTurus posted...

turbopuns3 posted...

What are the other total busts to avoid that might not be reflected in slightly dated draft rankings such as Andrew Luck literally retiring

Lamar Miller tore his ACL. Don't think there was anything else recent, except that Melvin Gordon and Ezekiel Elliot's hold-outs are still going on.

Seriously crazy. I got Zeke at the 2.07 in a 12 team league last night.
