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.

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.

The marmot probably made changes because he auto-drafted. I guess Jay just wanted a different kicker. I probably pounced on C. Michael too early but I bought into the hype and I'd rather be too early than too late.

My original kicker (Caleb Sturgis) ended up being replaced after the last preseason game. Derp.

Quite a few close matchups this week. Tannehill and the Miami offense let me down but at least they didn't poop the bed completely. Looks like Kelce will fulfill the prophecy of being a mini-Gronk this year, but he's currently carrying my entire sadsack team. My WR corps is in trouble with injuries and apparently I haven't learned my lesson to never draft a Jag. I'm gonna need a huge game from Peterson tomorrow night.

Sidenote, apparently I didn't enable fractional points for yardage... must have been an oopsie because I usually like playing with fractions so that every yard counts. What does everyone else think? This is something I don't mind changing if the overwhelming majority of the league is in favor of it.

Would you have drafted differently if there was fractional points? :P

It's not changing anything essential though, like changing QB TD's from 4 to 6 points... it just makes the scoring more accurate. I do understand the sentiment of not wanting to change anything though.

Your boy Blue sucks and is gonna lose his job in a few weeks so you need to find a new flex play. Olsen had a bad game but he'll be fine. I don't know what possessed you to draft the Tampa defense, you should try and find a new one because they're gonna be bad all year. The rest of your team played admirably.

Peyton Manning was terrible, so my opponent's kicker has 18 points. Okay.

*Rico now realises stats are based on real life performances throughout the handegg season*

Well, hell if I'll monitor any of that. :keys:

I don't remember why I picked Buccaneers, my first options must have vanished by then. I could tell at least that scoring "1" looks pretty deplorable.

The breaking news is less helpful than it was during the drafting. Where can I read about stuff like Blue being dropped, for instance?

Finally, dropping players, getting new ones. How does it work? Do I just use the "Drop" and "Claim" buttons, then wait for the claimed to be mine in order of the waiver?

Good question. There's a lot of resources out there but in your case, without following football, it will sort of feel like studying for a test without ever going to class. Podcasts, articles... I'll send you some of the ones I use and you can decide if it's worth your time.

Yes. Waivers clear in the early morning (EST) tomorrow so get your claims in soon if you want to make any. After waivers process, any unclaimed players will be Free Agents and it's first come first serve. Normally there's some strategy on whether or not to use a high waiver priority or wait til a player hits Free Agency, but our waiver priority resets weekly, so you might as well use it.

Good question. There's a lot of resources out there but in your case, without following football, it will sort of feel like studying for a test without ever going to class. Podcasts, articles... I'll send you some of the ones I use and you can decide if it's worth your time.

I feel bad for Rico, because he doesn't watch football, never played fantasy, and I half-forced him to sign up to make room for you, so I don't mind dishing out a little free advice to start the season. That said, my money is on Rico not doing a lick of research. And he's on his own now :D

Btw diggz I hope your team kept their buttholes nice and clean for my team. Wanna make it interesting? Loser of our match has to change their team name for Week 3. If you lose it's "I am Turnip's Bitch". If I lose... well, state your terms and we'll shake on it :srsnod:

Cards on the table: I just got home from work and only now saw your post about a side bet. I'm all for it if you are still since I'm well aware of the outcome of tonight's game already (looks like Kelce aka "Baby Gronk" shot his wad last week and didn't have any big plays left in him, huh?). I agree to the terms you have set forth, and now here are mine:

You change your name to "Diggz Bottom Bitch" AND you change your (non existant) team pic to this

I agree to your terms. Don't you worry your pretty little head about Baby Gronk, he's gonna be just fine.

I might watch the Rugby Championships a bit, does that count? I mean, we all know that's a real sport born out of football.
