in a 14 team league, PPR, picking RBs round 1 is funny money.

nah I wanted TE, then QB, got stolen my first TE pick, so picked QB, then TE, then focused on RB/WR

TE's and QBs are pretty similar in that you can wait a few rounds to get either. For future reference :P

#123

Unless you get first pick, then taking a top tier QB is ok. Not necessarily the best, but OK.

But we're not PPR.

Uh, yeah we are :P

#126

Eh, 0.5 per rec. That's not enough of an incentive to refrain from taking an elite RB.

I can imagine you going to check if we're PPR, finding out we are, smashing your keyboard around a bit, coming back, and trying to play it cool.

what's a pee pee ar

Points Per Reception. Every time a player catches a pass, thats .5 points. Usually its 1 pt, but TH is the boss this go around

Nah- I looked over the score setup before signing up and didn't recall seeing anything that indicated PPR. It probably didn't register in my head because it's half a point.

#131

They'll add up :P

#132

I went with half-PPR because in a 14-team league, the RBs like Bell or Forte who catch a lot of passes are insanely valuable and there's not enough of them go around.

#133

Also I told Rico to wait on TE and QB, so he did the exact opposite of what I told him to do :P

You hinted at trying to snatch Gummybearsky, but I forgot about the latter, "postpone-otherwise" part of your advice.

Also I almost fell asleep. Woke up at 9 ET dead, logged in and basically went Leroy Jenkins with the drafting.

#135

So I kinda wished I looked over the league rules a bit closer before the draft. I knew we were a .5 pt PPR but I didn't know that our QBs only get 4 pts for a TD....That might've made me wait on a QB a few rds later.

#136

So this is where my beloved is hiding..... I should have known.....

#137

ONE post isnt exactly "hiding"

#138

Lol. You so cute! ! And manly. My beloved is tough and manly. And a superhero and stuff.

Okay, but what's your excuse for drafting Vernon Davis? You must like goose eggs every week.

#140

WHo else does Capernick have to throw to (especially when it comes t ored zone targets)??? TE depth sucks and DAvis is just a place holder until Gates comes back from suspension. I figured it was a boom or bust pick: either he returns to fantasy form in which case I got potentially the biggest steal in the draft or he remains average or worse in which case I can search the waiver wire for another scrub TE.

That's why I can't wait to kick his little tushy ass.

EVERYONE wants a piece o' this...wait yer turn!

#143

Christine Michael to Dallas HYPE

#144

nah....he'll replace McFadden once he gets injured in wk 4.

Good thing auto-draft gave me Matt Forte then.

This should be an interesting year.

When b matches yo and what do I have to do to prep for them

#147

Ricochet wrote:When b matches yo and what do I have to do to prep for them

Most matches are held on Sundays, with a couple on Monday night and sometimes one additional one on Saturday. This week is special in that one match is held tonight.

So get your rosters ready.

#148

My what? My roosters? Nobody said nothing about a cock fight.

#149

It's okay man, it's a cyber-rooster fight.

Actually they've got Thursday night games almost all season long. I'm glad I don't do regular fantasy football anymore because these Thursday games probably force you to make your rosters changes much quicker.

Rooster fight? I believe the traditional term is cock fight, which reminds me of a Kings of Leon song/video from before they were Top 40 darlings:

#151

Ah that's right. I forgot that last season I would forget about all the Thursday night games when I set my roster, and get consistantly screwed by forgetting to start a player who played that night or something.

Constant vigilence.

#152

The Thursday night game is the start of each fantasy week. The Monday night game is the end of the week. All other games are on Sunday, so that's generally when you need to have your roster set if none of your guys play on Thursday.

Sunday games will either be at 1pm EST (majority of games) 4:25ish pm EST (a few games) and one prime time game at 8pm EST.

Once a player's game starts, they are locked into wherever they are on your roster. Additionally, any undrafted players will be placed on "Waivers" when their game starts. If you want to add these extra players to your team, you need to place a waiver claim for them. Waivers process on either Tuesday or Wednesday, I'm actually not sure, we'll see after the first week. All waiver claims go through and then these extra players become "free agents", and then it's a first come first serve process to add them to your team.

So your routine each week should be something like:

Thursday: check for any players playing, decide to Start or Sit them.

Sunday: Set the majority of your lineup before 1pm games start.

Monday: check to see if there are any players you want to add through the waiver system.

Tuesday/Wednesday: check to see if there are any free agents you want to add.

#153

I ain't even worried

#154

My player are all healthy, is that good?

#155

Make sure your footballs are properly inflated BDH

#156

I hear The Patriots can handle any kind of pressure. Including air pressure.

#157

My kicker missed the first field goal of the season. Off to a great start.

I may have laughed at that

And he just missed another! This is unbelievable.

#160

I can't wait to drop him

#161

Turnip Head wrote:I can't wait to drop him

Should have picked a kicker earlier in the draft.

#162

Turnip Head wrote:I can't wait to drop him

He might get better!! Maybe.

#163

Sure he's not still playing for the Jaguars?

Thanks coach but there's still plenty of kickers on the wire :P Zurlein, Novak, friggin Janikowski...

Meh. Kickers are a weekly crapshoot. I usually pick a different guy each week.

#165

Third times the charm TH!!!!!

How's Wheaton vs. Gronkowski working out for you, leggy?

That's not a fair fight, Gronk isn't even human

#170

Last night's game was closer than it seemed. Had Pittsburgh made those two field goals and the Patriots not started out with such prime field position, who knows? Then again, Pittsburgh's D was really sloppy. They're in for a long season if they don't straighten things out.

Brady looked so pissed off most of the game. Between that and all the coverage of these scandals, it seems like the league and/or the media is trying to craft the Patriots as the league's villain. It kind of reminds me of the 1986 "Duel in the Desert" NCAA football championship between Miami and Penn State. Miami was this powerful, intimidating team that carried themselves with what appeared to be arrogance and swagger. Penn State was played up to be a virtuous, humble group of kids. Seems like New England is being fashioned by some to be akin to that '86 Hurricanes team.
