Syndicate Fantasy Football League 2015

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!!!!!

#166

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

3TDs...almost made one on the fumble recovery.

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.

#171

You can call it close all you want, but that garbage time Antonio Brown TD was bullshit *grumble grumble*

*is facing Aces this week*

#172

Yeaaah I didn't even get to watch tennis yesterday, because New York apparently can't handle rain.

#173

Dat waiver wire tho

#174

wataboutit

I just saw a bunch of pick ups and drops. Kinda early for that much activity.

#176

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.

This pretty much.

I can't believe nobody had Coby Fleener already.

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

It's cuz the only thing worse than RB by committee is TE by committee...

#181

oh ffs I just realized who Big Damn Hero is

#182

dun dun DUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHNNNNNNNNNNNNN!!!!

#183

I'm watching baseball right now.

#184

I'll be watching tennis this afternoon.

I'll be watching tennis this evening and then take shelter once the whole internetsphere explodes after Roger wins the 18th.

Hopefully he'll retire afterwards, too, Sampras style.

#186

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.

#187

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.

#188

I like fractions.

I hate bullshit penalty calls.

#189

I made a new poll so everyone can voice their opinion on this important issue

And I hate bullshit penalty calls too... unless they go my way

#190

We already drafted. I don't want to change the scoring.

#191

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.

#192

If yall wanna change it, change it I guess :P

#193

R.I.P Dirk you got straight up merked. Nobody can stop the Sinestro Corps.

You look like a goddamn genius drafting Tyler Eifert. I think you have the team to beat this year

I would have picked him up if he wasn't drafted.

#198

I think we should leave the scoring as is since the season already started.

#199

I checked the results and, apart from seeing that I lost to Sock by 1.5 points and that my players are fine, I don't understand anything else that happened.

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.
