Fantasy Football TAO '16

[Greendaybum5]

I want to upgrade at WR. I'll trade Miller or Ware. Anyone interested?

[Sanosuke]

I want to upgrade at WR. I'll trade Miller or Ware. Anyone interested?
Team name?

[Greendaybum5]

Team name?

you should have.... I gotta find a new name now that draft is over

[bdog1321]

I need a tight end. I have 3 #1 receivers now and one will always be wasting away on the bench since I have Elliott and shady. So if you like any of my receivers and have a good te send a trade and I'll...reject it because I overvalue my own players

[Greendaybum5]

I start 2 RB, 2 WR and a Flex - Full Point PPR

Help me pick

RB Options: Miller, Martin, Williams

WR Options: Hopkins, Emmanuel Sanders, Marvin Jones, and Jordan Matthews

What would you guys do?

[Sanosuke]

Probably hopkins matthews and Miller Williams imo

[Greendaybum5]

Probably hopkins matthews and Miller Williams imo

who would you flex? I agree with those 4 I think

[Sanosuke]

Martin prolly

[Maverik]

Martin

[Maverik]

Martin prolly

why won't gifs work on here anymore?

it says every one I try to post is too large

:(

[Greendaybum5]

I was leaning towards Sanders if Thomas is out, figured he'd get 40 targets. Martin is prob the popular choice though.

[Maverik]

40 targets? Are you insane?

[Maverik]

he threw 26 total passes last week and you think that all of a sudden Sanders is going to get 40 individual targets?

this is like Shurtugal-level stupidity here

[Sanosuke]

he threw 26 total passes last week and you think that all of a sudden Sanders is going to get 40 individual targets?

this is like Shurtugal-level stupidity here

probably could've done better with his exaggeration. He's just saying that Sanders will basically be the only option with DT dead.

[Maverik]

you're giving him too much credit

[Greendaybum5]

probably could've done better with his exaggeration. He's just saying that Sanders will basically be the only option with DT dead.

this lol. come on I understand he won't have 40. But he had 9 of the 26 last week with DT in the game. Figured he'd get even bigger share with no DT.

[Hulky]

I edited your post Mav, so edit it and see the tags around the URL. Just type those to post pictures, the old image button wants to upload pictures to the forum and its really small and pretty dumb. Not sure where but I think someone said there was a way to switch it so it only types the [img] for you instead of trying to upload.

[Maverik]

this lol. come on I understand he won't have 40. But he had 9 of the 26 last week with DT in the game. Figured he'd get even bigger share with no DT.

bet you $100 he gets less than 14 targets

[Greendaybum5]

bet you $100 he gets less than 14 targets

I think 13-14 has a realistic chance to happen (with DT out). All depends on game flow. This is a game they probably can control a little easier than the Panthers.

[Maverik]

put your money where your mouth is

[Greendaybum5]

why all the hostility?

[Hulky]

Is Sano really trading away Todd Gurley? Like the Georgia fan is trading Gurley?

[Maverik]

Gurley is tough for fantasy I almost always stay away from players on bad teams just because its so easy for opposing defenses to isolate them.

[Maverik]

also, of course no hostility

just trying to egg you on into a bet I think I'll win

[Sanosuke]

Is Sano really trading away Todd Gurley? Like the Georgia fan is trading Gurley?

Breaks my heart but the will to win is much higher than any allegiances.

[The Cheat]

Sneed vs Giants

or

Dez vs Washington?

[bdog1321]

Gronk not playing has at least given me a chance after that Forte beatdown

[bdog1321]

Would have beaten anyone but my opponent this week. Jesus Christ this shit happens at least once a season in this league for me

on a side note, my team is now insanely op this year

[bdog1321]

this is why i was targeting mckinnon :\

[Hulky]

this is why i was targeting mckinnon :\

I got him a while ago, when were you targeting him? Did I beat you to him on the waiver wire weeks ago or something?

[Sanosuke]

Would've had 80+ for a second week in a row if I didn't bench corey coleman

Kelvin Benjamin the value pick god.

[Greendaybum5]

fucking woodhead. anyone have RB for trade?

[Da Gyps]

well shit

[Hulky]

fucking woodhead. anyone have RB for trade?

I have both Keenan Allen and Danny Woodhead on my most money league.

[bludhoundz]

McKinnon will be stuck in a timeshare with Asiata. Just saying.

I actually had someone offer me Watkins for Woodhead earlier. I turned it down same day he got hurt but before it happened

[bdog1321]

fucking woodhead. anyone have RB for trade?

i have elliott, mccoy, riddick

[Greendaybum5]

i have elliott, mccoy, riddick

your team is too stacked don't see us working out a deal unfortunately.

[Da Gyps]

I may have a meltdown if I lose again this week.

[The Butcher]

fuck you hulky

[The Cheat]

Sneed at home vs falcons

OR

Dez at home vs bears.

I know Dez >sneed but saints score a shit ton at home and it is always a shoot out when they play atlanta.

[Greendaybum5]

Sneed at home vs falcons

OR

Dez at home vs bears.

I know Dez >sneed but saints score a shit ton at home and it is always a shoot out when they play atlanta.

completely understand your logic, but it's hard to bench a talent like Dez vs the awful bears

[bdog1321]

http://i.imgur.com/ixNvwhH.png

can anyone tell me..why?

just why

[The Cheat]

completely understand your logic, but it's hard to bench a talent like Dez vs the awful bears

Oh I know. Hence why i asked. More than likely go with Dez in the end.

[Greendaybum5]

http://i.imgur.com/ixNvwhH.png

can anyone tell me..why?

just why

inflated with moncrief out? there's another funny one like Charles sims or theo Riddick one of those guys projected for 22 next week vs a good defense

[bdog1321]

In a real tough spot in our league with 1 spot for shady vs. Arizona, riddick vs. Green Bay, or Benjamin (travis) vs. Indianapolis. I have Benjamin in right now. Am I dum

[Hulky]

fuck you bdog

[Sanosuke]

In a real tough spot in our league with 1 spot for shady vs. Arizona, riddick vs. Green Bay, or Benjamin (travis) vs. Indianapolis. I have Benjamin in right now. Am I dum

mmm, I think Riddick or Benjamin might be your best bets. Wouldn't wanna have shady against Arizona's defense when you have Theo without competition and Lesser But Still Score Points Benjamin.

[bludhoundz]

So in my PPR league I have some interesting decisions. I need to start 2 WRs, 2 RBs and a flex. Here are the guys I'm considering:

WR:
Brandon Marshall @ KC
Jarvis Landry vs Cle
Stefon Diggs @ Car
Marvin Jones @ GB

RB:
David Johnson vs Buf
Frank Gore vs SD
Christine Michael vs SF

I already know I'm leaving Gio Bernard on my bench, and Jones will probably sit on the bench too but still worth thinking about maybe. David Johnson will definitely start and so will Landry but after that I'm not sure

posted in the other thread by mistake

Mav said Johnson + Michael and Marshall + Landry (but who's my flex?)

[Maverik]

oh whoops, Flex is kinda tough

I think it has to be Diggs or Michael, but that's a tough call. I think Michael is a good bet because I anticipate SEA going up early and then managing the clock on a weak SF team. We also don't know enough about Bradford and MIN at this point too.

[bdog1321]

marvin jones may save me from my abominably bad mistake of benching shady

[I'malive]

I'm about to win this league the way it's supposed to be done, with defense and special teams. Counterintuitive for fantasy but the bottom of my lineup is dominating so far this year.

[Hulky]

I think you could have beat me with an average kciker and dst too lol

[Maverik]

has there ever been a worse QB battle than the one I'm currently in?

-0.39 points vs. -0.75 points

[bdog1321]

I'm about to lose two weeks in a row when I would have beaten anyone else in the league except my opponent. Best 1-2 team ever?

[Hulky]

Manon's insane year where he missed the playoffs has to be the bar to beat for a feels bad year.

[Greendaybum5]

wow I'm lucking out next week (5) playing prof. He has 5-6 people on bye

[bdog1321]

MCCOY (NE) VS. TRAVIS BENJAMIN (NO) WTF DO I DO I GOT BURNED LAST WEEK WOULD HAVE WON BUT q

[Sanosuke]

Get fucked. I dont want your team in the playoffs. Bench them all

[Greendaybum5]

Non PPR League

Rank these 3

Jordan Howard vs Det
Terrelle Pryor vs Wsh
Brandon Marshall vs Sea

[bdog1321]

Get fucked. I dont want your team in the playoffs. Bench them all

i fully expect both mccoy and benjamin to go off this week, and lose because i couldn't start both of them since landry only got 5 points.

@philly, looks like you already ranked them with your listing

[Hulky]

In my money league (you have to have a 2QB, 4 WR 4 RB, 2TE, 2K, 2DST - like have to) Josh Gordon was my WR4 and with this rehab it let me IR him. My other 3 WRs are Kelvin Benjamin, Donte Moncrief, and Michael Floyd so I'm dealing with some injuries and was pretty excited to maybe land someone decent from FA. Anyways I look at the FA list and someone had cut TY Hilton, so I got him for free.

My lineup is now: Cam, David Johnson, Leveon Bell, Kelvin Benjamin, TY Hilton, Fleener (Eifert when he's back), Hauschka, ARI/MIN

fapfapfap

[Gryph]

Well fuckos, week 4 after tonight is upon us.

Matty Ice the number 1 fantasy QB is now on the board for trade. Anyone need a QB? I'm looking for RB / WRs

Lets get this shit rolling. Hit me up on FB / Here if you're interested.

[Maverik]

anybody looking for a TE? Pitta is up for grabs in exchange for someone I can use as a bench/flex guy.

up for some 2 for 2 action too if somebody wants to swap WR2s or something

[Hulky]

On this topic Greg Olsen or Jimmy Graham is also up for trade.

[The Cheat]

Anyone have any suggestions on picking up a WR, TE, or RB off wavers? I am trying to find some but there is just nothing left. Only things i am semi seeing are:

Hill of Cincy-RB
Texans RB
Pitta at TE
Steve Smith at WR

Also jackson vs Ravens or Landry vs Titans at the second WR spot.

[Greendaybum5]

Hill of Cincy-RB - he's my favorite on this list
Texans RB (uh which one, because Lamar Miller is a stud....)
Pitta at TE
Steve Smith at WR

Also jackson vs Ravens or Landry vs Titans at the second WR spot.

see answers in quote above

[The Cheat]

Hill I don't think is a bad pickup.

I meant Lamar Miller. Also not bad.

A lot of what goes on is what Brady does the rest of the year.


Also who didn't start Fitz last night? They had only three days rest. Back up QB. No way to start him. FML

lamar miller is a free agent?!?!?!

[The Cheat]

lamar miller is a free agent?!?!?!

I am "helping" my brother in his work league. His league sucks. They only auto draft and no one trades. We just about get anything off wavers. Hell we picked up Dak and Wentz last week for nothing.

So I should drop Gore and pick up miller?

[bludhoundz]

TC whats your team? its likely you have someone worse than Gore you can drop

[Hulky]

The answer is yes to picking up Lamar Miller lol

[The Cheat]

Note this is my brother's team not mine.

QB's: Dak, Wentz, Palmer (pick up dak since Palmer is hurt).

RB's: Gore, Elliott, Blount, Gordon

WR: Fitz, Landry, Desean jackson, Dez, Edelman

TE: Bennett of the Pats (been looking for another one)

Kick is who ever. Had chiefs kick now have colts.

Defense is Denver.


Sorry. Read it wrong. Miller has been taken. Swore he was still there the other day. Tried to get TE of vikings but waited too long.

Only good RB's left are Cincy's two, Fozzy of Panthers and west of Ravens.

Going to drop Jackson for someone soon.

Best TE's left are Bucs and Colts.


Brother likes to get players so others don't and save them when the bye week comes. Big needs now are TE and RB. WR always tricky. Always used to use fitz and Dez but dez hurt. Taking BIG gamble playing edelman. Same with Landry who has done nothing for us. Fucked up not playing Fitz. Gamble is at TE for unknown how many catches he will get as gronk comes back to full health.

Any suggestions on who to drop or add let me know. Gore and Jackson will be gone soon. May have to keep gore for when someone in on a bye.

[Hulky]

I think in general the starts would be
Carson Palmer if healthy -> Carson Wentz if not -> Dak if Dez is healthy
Eliot -> Gordon -> Blount -> Gore
Fitz -> Landry -> Dez if healthy (Dez to #1 if Romo is back) -> Edelman -> Jackson
Bennett isn't bad I like him more than Kyle Rudolph if thats your other option
Nugent if a pretty good kicker if you are rotating becuase Bengals are struggling int he red zone so a lot of FG attempts, if not what you've used if cool too
Denver is elite

[Gryph]

Matty Ice is still there if any of you pusswhistles need a god damn QB. I'm trying to make moves over here y'know

[bludhoundz]

Hey so I picked up Virgil Green who plays at 4. Turns out he's out so I went to go pick up another TE that didn't play at 1, but TEs that play at 4, 8 and even Monday can't be picked up (they're on waivers) since the games started at 1.

I don't like this setting, these guys should be available if their game hasnt started

[The Cheat]

Carson Palmer if healthy -> Carson Wentz if not -> Dak if Dez is healthy
Eliot -> Gordon -> Blount -> Gore

1. Palmer was QB until hurt. We were thinking of sitting him as he did garbage last two games before hurt.

2. WR would always be Dez/Fitz. Dez getting hurt messed up getting a second WR. Been trying to find one ever since.

3. Blount has been good for us thus far. Eliot has been a beast. We put gordon at w/r

4. Bennett has been very good to us. Today he kicked ass.

5. our kicker got us 21 points today. lol.

6. Denver D has been doing solid but not as good as I hoped.


Desean Jackson will be cut tuesday. Edelman was picked up for a long term plan. Brady likes him so...long term plan.


For the love God...someone tell me why the fuck I should keep Landry? He has done shit all year. Everytime we play him he fucks up over. I'm going to cut him soon unless you all can convince me otherwise.

Going to keep gore and use him with people are on a bye. Needs are still WR and RB.

you have 3 great RBs why is RB a need?

[The Cheat]

No faith in gore and always, always worried about the bye weeks. Plus outside of Eliot, all other RB's are hit or miss. When Pats are on a bye, it is gonna hurt big time.

Big need is a solid number 2 WR with a TE in the wing just in case.

[bludhoundz]

Can we address this messed up waivers system for when the games start?

Forreal this may be the single dumbest rule our league has, extremely surprised it took me 5 years to notice.

For those who dont know this is what I'm referring to:

At 1 pm on Sunday, ALL free agents (unless on bye? Not even sure about that....) are put on waivers. This means that guys who play at 4, 830 and even Monday are no longer free agents. There is absolutely no reason for these players to stop being free agents if their game didn't start yet. Now I know how things are generally done so I'm not proposing we change this rule now. But I want to raise awareness so we can be totally sure to address it come next year, since this setting is BS at its finest

[The Butcher]

SERIOUSLY.

I didn't get to play a QB or a DEF this week because anyone i wanted to pick up wasn't going to be on my team until 10/12. Fucking stupid.

I demand an auto win for this week, thanks.

[bdog1321]

I think Sano might still beat me

[Greendaybum5]

Pick 1 WR, 2 RB and 1 Flex

Brandon Marshall, Deandre Hopkins, LeSean McCoy, Lamar Miller and Jordan Howard.

As of right now I have howard on the bench. Interested in everyone elses opinion. .5 PPR, everything else is standard

[Maverik]

yup

pretty easy, I think

[Maverik]

big week for I'ma and I

a little nervous, but I actually think I have good match-ups this week, which was bolstered by Lambo having a strong game last night

[Maverik]

just hope CLE loads the box and stops Murray

[bludhoundz]

In another league I'm facing a guy with Lev Bell vs Miami, Demarco vs Cleveland and Christine Michael vs Atlanta


Rip to me

[Hulky]

I think Philly's is bench Marshall but it's close to what he has now imo.

[Gryph]

Really disappointed in all of you, no one wants to offer me anything for Matty Ice.

[Maverik]

shouldn't have gone for the greed and taken two QBs

:p

[The Cheat]

Should I start Dak, Palmer, or Weinz this week? Can't decide.

Denver defense isn't doing shit but got to keep it. No other options.

[Greendaybum5]

I go wentz vs wsh

[The Cheat]

I guess it comes down to who has the better defense: Skins or Jets

[bludhoundz]

Really disappointed in all of you, no one wants to offer me anything for Matty Ice.
if you were making plans to have 2 qbs, you should be the one offering trades to people

more likely to get a bite than just waiting

[Hulky]

I'd be down for Eli for Matty Ice :P

ps fuck you eli throw TDs

[bdog1321]

My team is good now with graham

[Burnout278]

My team is bad and I do not deserve my record

[Lex]

My team is bad and I do not deserve my record

I'm 3-2 with the least amount of points scored by a lot.

[Hulky]

I need Eli to not suck ass today. Please and thank you. First quarter hasn't been good, I need 100 yards and a TD for each remaining quarter.

[The Cheat]

Dear Tom Fucking Brady,

Why in the fucking hell did you not throw to bennett (you know they guy who had three TD's last week) and "your boy" edelman. You threw two touchdowns to WR no one has heard of? Fucking hell. Also run more since you have blount. Sure he got one at the end but fucking hell. Edelman benched rest of year. Bennett may be cut. Why?

Because of Rob "Tiny brain piece of shit" Gronk. Fuck him. i KNEW once he came back all the balls would go to him and not one else.

Fuck you Pats for screwing me over today. Three players gave me like 13 points. Maybe. Currently down about 30 points. Palmer and Fitz can try to save us tomorrow but highly doubtful.

Fuck fantasy and fuck Cincy and fuck the Pats and Fuck Gronk.

There will be massive cuts this week. Count on it. God I am pissed.

[Maverik]

beat 1st place, fall to 3rd

:/

[bludhoundz]

Weren't you already 3rd

Also Thunder is 5-1 on that ez schedule so far. Sano has had it rough despite good scoring

[Maverik]

no, I was 2nd and moved to 3rd

[Maverik]

also, my only loss is to Lex, lulz

[bdog1321]

Have we ever had four 5-1 teams before?

[bdog1321]

Shoulda started landry

[Maverik]

Have we ever had four 5-1 teams before?

there's a big split between the haves and have nots this year (lulz at Gypsy being dead last)

I think the playoff teams are almost all set, with Lex moving down and maybe Prof coming up

[bludhoundz]

I mean everyone who isn't bdog is just hoping he has a bad week when he faces them. Cuz his team is clearly the best and it's not super close

[Greendaybum5]

don't count me out yet son

[Maverik]

after your blistering 22.82 performance, I am certainly worried

[Lex]

also, my only loss is to Lex, lulz

I'm trent dilfering my way to the championship this year.

[The Cheat]

Shoulda started landry

Why does everyone keep saying that? He hasn't done shit all year. i didn't even know who he was before this year. Gonna have to start him this week for edelman is a total bust.

MASSIVE changes are coming. New TE, WR, RB are needed asap. Gonna keep Denver d because there is nothing left.

Fucked at QB this week. Palmer vs Seattle (ugh) or Weinz at Vikings( double ugh) and Dak on a bye.

With out Elliott...this week could really hurt.

Don't get rid of Edelman. As soon as you do he is going to blow up

[_Thunder_]

Weren't you already 3rd

Also Thunder is 5-1 on that ez schedule so far. Sano has had it rough despite good scoring

Ez schedule ez life. AP/Kevin White goes down. Also ez.

#Dak4President

[bludhoundz]

Forgot you lost dudes

Fite me so I can take your spot on the ranks tho :p

[The Cheat]

Don't get rid of Edelman. As soon as you do he is going to blow up

Oh I know. Bench for sure.

picked up bears WR and QB for one week due to byes. Should I get Buffalo defense as well?

[The Cheat]

Britt WR for rams or Meredith for bears?

[bludhoundz]

To start? Meredith. Would rather pick up Britt for long term though

yes get Buffalo D

[Hulky]

The trade between me and Thunder was super lopsided like every fucking time we trade. Both guys I got I've cut already, and McKinnon is still the starter when at the time AP was just missing a couple weeks.

Every time it's lopsided. Let's get one thats a fair wash one year Thunder lol

[_Thunder_]

Forgot you lost dudes

Fite me so I can take your spot on the ranks tho :p

Didn't we already fite?! xD

No complaining here but I would like to see you come out of the deal equal one of these days.

[Hulky]

I got you in the Patterson one, but you got me on the Alex Smith/Larry Fitz and now this one.

[Hulky]

Now Eddie Lacy is on the IR. I've lost both my RBs to IR fml. My team is completely fucked.

[bludhoundz]

Didn't we already fite?! xD

you bastard i want a rematch for my only bad week !! :(

[The Cheat]

To start? Meredith. Would rather pick up Britt for long term though

yes get Buffalo D

Played Meredith and Hoyer. Hoyer leaves game in first quarter. Meredith has no catches last i checked. fuck and fuck and fuck.

If dez comes back, then WR are ok. Although Fitz hasn't done much in a few weeks.

Already have Denver D which has not pleased me all year. Will think about Buffalo.

Big Ben is on wavers. Gonna pick him up and store him.

[bludhoundz]

sheesh yeah he was being targeted like crazy by hoyer

the other thing for tao league we could look into is the waiver period. guys who are dropped on wednesday are not available until saturday which is pretty damn long. that means if you drop a guy on thursday, he can't be picked up for sunday which is kinda dumb.

[bludhoundz]

ok

I have to be real for a minute here. I don't know how I didn't notice this for like 5 years but the waivers system in this league is totally fucked up. You can pick up Thursday players by Saturday?? And yet when the games start at 1 PM, everyone else locks into Tuesday waivers. Too many things wrong with this. Gotta talk about it in the offseason

[Maverik]

I mentioned this last year...

its so fucking stupid

you're literally getting fucked over for clerical fucking bullshit

[Hulky]

Waiver Rule

Use these settings to give everyone in the league a fair chance at picking up players. Sunday - Tuesday means all unowned players will be placed on waivers at 10:00am PT each Sunday with the claim period ending at 11:59pm PT on Tuesday. First game of the week - Tuesday means all unowned players will be placed on waivers at the start of the first game for that week with the claim period ending at 11:59pm PT on Tuesday. Game Time means all unowned players will be placed on waivers at the scheduled start time of their game. In Game Time Waivers, players on a bye week will be placed on waivers Monday night at 5:30pm pacific time. Continuous means that all unowned players are on waivers at all times. Waiver claims are processed on fixed days of the week as defined by the commissioner. When a player is dropped, he must remain on waivers for a set number of days before he can be claimed; that number of days is indicated by the Waiver Time setting.

Note that while changing your waiver rule or continuous waiver clear days during the season are allowed, changing either setting can lead to confusing or unexpected behavior. In particular, if your league has any outstanding waiver claims on players, or has players on waivers due to being dropped or newly added to the game, when you transition between modes or change clear days, players may not clear waivers when you might predict or expect.

Options:
1. None
2. Sunday - Tuesday (the one it's on)
3. First Game of Week - Tuesday
4. Continuous

[Sanosuke]

Im outscoring 8 teams above me but I'm 2-4. I don't get it.

[bludhoundz]

I believe Game Time is the good setting. We can talk more about it in the offseason because changing the rules midseason is generally a no-no

[bdog1321]

Elliott out, shady situation uncertain...I could lose to 20th ranked team easy this week

[Maverik]

Gypsy has a pretty awful team, you're probably fine

I need Keenum to throw a TD to Britt :/

[Maverik]

jesus fuck me

should never post about my teams/players

[Maverik]

fuckkkkk meeeeee

should have just taken Landry Jones

[_Thunder_]

Im outscoring 8 teams above me but I'm 2-4. I don't get it.
RNG schedule bruh. RIP

In other news

Ajayiiiiiii

[Maverik]

David Johnson my hero

[Greendaybum5]

why is gypsy starting witten?!?!

[Maverik]

pretty sure he's thrown in the towel

[bdog1321]

pretty sure he's thrown in the towel

still gonna beat me barring shenanigans

[007 GOD]

Well, it took a season and a half almost, but your boy is over .500!

[The Professor]

No idea how Atlanta scores 30 points and Matt Ryan only gets 11. Barely better than Bortles.

Also don't understand how my defense generates 3 points when allowing 6 total points and pressuring the shit out of Wilson.

Fucking bizarre. That might be the nail in my coffin.

EDIT: Fuck the Chargers kicker. Second week in a row he's fucked me. 17 points this week. Dhebdhdbdgdvsjsbsyxgdbdb

[Burnout278]

Did he at least buy you dinner?

[I'malive]

Looking to trade cutler for any QB with a non-week-9 bye. Also willing to look into trades for a flex, though I am praying cj gets a positive second opinion..

[Hulky]

Didn't I just cut Cutler like a week ago? lol

[The Cheat]

Dak vs Eagles

or

Palmer vs panthers?

[Hulky]

Over/Under on Hugh scoring 25 points this week?

He is only starting Boldin, Ingram, Kelce, and Matt Prater lol

[Maverik]

under, haha

[bdog1321]

Anyone in need of running back depth should pick up starks this week

[The Cheat]

I was down 17 going into last nights game.

I had Dak, Dez, and Elliott.

Ended night up 31.

[Greendaybum5]

Anyone need a QB in tao league? I can deal one. I need a TE and flex I believe.

I have wentz or rivers for trade

[The Butcher]

id trade for wentz

[Maverik]

Anyone need a QB in tao league? I can deal one. I need a TE and flex I believe.

I have wentz or rivers for trade

are you just trolling? I literally just offered you a TE and a Flex for your backup QB and you turned it down.

[Greendaybum5]

id trade for wentz

who you got, send an offer. whoever is ladies and Edelman sent me shitty offer

[Greendaybum5]

are you just trolling? I literally just offered you a TE and a Flex for your backup QB and you turned it down.

I guess your ladies and Edelman.... I didn't like the players you offered

[Maverik]

its not like you have anything worthwhile

at least you would have gotten a starter and possible flex for someone you just cut and someone who will always be on your bench except for Rivers' bye week

[bludhoundz]

Mav always has Ben, Edelman, and Ertz

Also I should be in 3rd place. Only I'ma and bdog have more points. Fantasy scheduling strikes again.

[Maverik]

I know Ertz, my buddy went to highschool with him

so sad that he's gotten nothing done :(

[The Butcher]

chilll..... he has a rookie QB. He was good last year and great in camp.

[The Butcher]

PS. Josh Huff from the Eagles just got arrested in Philly speeding/possession/firearm

[Hulky]

I know Ertz, my buddy went to highschool with him

so sad that he's gotten nothing done :(

Monte Vista?

[Maverik]

yes

he played baseball with my buddy

[bludhoundz]

Bill Cosbys Sleepers would be 105-47 if they played every team every week.

2 really close losses one of which was to the highest score in the league that week. i still think i should probably make it into the final 8 but this is annoying

[Hulky]

http://i65.tinypic.com/ncbi3k.jpg

[Sanosuke]

7th in PF, and top 5 in PA. Fucking fantasy football man.

[007 GOD]

I am in desperate need of a low level QB for just this week. Anyone want to trade for Osweiler (bye week this week)?

[Blexican]

7th in PF, and top 5 in PA. Fucking fantasy football man.

Let the record show we got excuses for Ls

[Greendaybum5]

got Maclin/Wentz to deal for a TE and maybe WR upgrade.

[007 GOD]

Hulky, Will give Osweiler (dont care about spelling his name) and J. Hill from Cincy for Manning.

[Hulky]

I traded Eli to Blex

[Blexican]

I traded Eli to Blex

Thanks for this. This week is probably the defining moment of whether or not I make the playoffs. Not having a QB isn't an option.

[Sanosuke]

Let the record show we got excuses for Ls

Well played.

Can't deny I'm getting fucked though.

[Blexican]

Well played.

Can't deny I'm getting fucked though.

Oh, you absolutely are.

On the flipside, my brother is reaping the benefits of being 20th in pts against but in the mid tier in points for being 7-1. You best believe i've been giving him shit.

[Greendaybum5]

got Maclin/Wentz to deal for a TE and maybe WR upgrade.

anyone?

[Sanosuke]

Shoulda checked the Free Agents. Just snagged Kessler off it for Week 10. \o/

[007 GOD]

Shoulda checked the Free Agents. Just snagged Kessler off it for Week 10. \o/

I thought I read he wasn't going to play because they didn't want to rush him after a concussion. Rip me.

[I'malive]

Yeah I've put in for like 6 or 7 qbs over the last few weeks but because I'm always last in waivers I'm taking the auto loss this week.. Would've taken Kessler but he hadn't been cleared yet, had McCown pending but obviously I wouldn't have won that battle either because it's actually impossible for me to get someone from waivers.

[bludhoundz]

All three of the losses for Bill Cosbys Sleepers this season have come when their opponent had their highest-scoring week of the season.

edit: ok I got gassed by this but it was their highest scoring week at that point in the season. So nevermind

[bdog1321]

I started Bradford over carr.

[Hugh]

I started Bradford over carr.

Surprised you didn't start Romo.

[The Cheat]

Dez gets almost no points vs the browns.

The.

Browns.


WTF??????????????????????????????????????????//

[Gryph]

Got the W wit bye week hell. Now the only shitty week left for me is 11, when I have Forte / Powell on bye. This might be the first time I've made the playoffs in this league. DA HUNGERRR

[Greendaybum5]

I started Bradford over carr.

yea wtf

[bdog1321]

Hardest defensive matchup vs. Easiest :P

[Maverik]

anybody know what the highest point totals for a week are for our league?

I feel like I saw manon get 124 or something before

[Hulky]

I am eliminated from playoffs this week unless Eli implodes

[bdog1321]

Lol elliott

[bludhoundz]

in one league i faced elliott, baldwin, and bucs d

x

[bludhoundz]

Must... survive... til Jeffery is back

[Maverik]

damn... kind of an embarrassment of riches this week

I have Britt vs MIA, Edelman @ SF, Crabtree vs HOU and Rogers @ CLE

I kind of want to sit Edelman since he's been struggling lately and I expect NE to just pound Blount up the middle all game.

Everybody else has been playing better than him lately and they all have favorable match-ups.

I might sit Britt depending on their QB situation, but its hard to justify sitting a #1 receiver at home against a mediocre defense.

[Sanosuke]

Fighting to fuck up playoff spots now since everyone wanted to fuck me over all season long. Goodluck to those with low Pts Against!

[Maverik]

took down another number 1

now its time for the real test

I think bdude and I have the best teams, with bludz close behind

gonna be an interesting week

[I'malive]

First cj, now AJ is gonna be out for the rest of the year probably...oh well y'all been sleeping on my team all year, beating everyone with my waiver wire all-stars will be that much more enjoyable..

[bludhoundz]

yeah ima i think you had the best team after bdog before that injury. rough shit losing a stud like that.

i feel like the waiver wire has been a lot less competitive this year. i've been near the top of the standings most of the year and i've still managed to make a lot of really good pickups. and this isn't me finding gems it's literally picking up Rob Kelley, dropping him on his bye week and picking him back up. come on guys lol

[bdog1321]

green back in a few weeks. my team is tanking

[Wizzy]

yeah ima i think you had the best team after bdog before that injury. rough shit losing a stud like that.

Never give away your strategy before the war is over, Soldier.

Wait this isn't the debate game thread

[bdog1321]

I have no right to win Rhianna American

[bdog1321]

This game*

[Hulky]

In one of my money leagues, in weeks Leveon Bell has played (1-3 sus, 8 bye) I have been the league high score every week except two. Pretty sweet since some of the payout goes to the weekly high score.

[The Cheat]

Which defense should I play?

Denver (which is hurt)
Miami
Buffalo

BTW I don't have all three...that is dumb. i have had Denver all year but picked up Miami last week for a bye.

[Hulky]

I dunno if it's available to you but Steelers DST against a Luckless Colts seems pretty good to me. I am two week starting them for the Denver bye last week (Steelers played Cle) and now going to keep them starting over Denver as long as Luck misses this week.

[The Cheat]

Going to go with Bills vs Jags because....jags lol

I was going to start Gore but I'm worried. It is either him or blount

[bludhoundz]

whether i win or lose...

TYREEEEEEEEEEK

[bdog1321]

Gonna smash dat all-time points record this week

[bludhoundz]

but still lose to the guy with aaron rodgers in the playoffs

history will repeat itself

[bdog1321]

It actually looks like 3 or 4 of us will beat the all-time scoring record this season.

[Maverik]

I asked what the record was earlier.

What is it?

[Hulky]

We bumped up the TD scoring on something this year I think right though? We did something but I can't remember. Manon a couple years back has the score record I think and before that I think it was bdog with his near all Cowboy team.

[bludhoundz]

It's like 1030 or 1050 or something to that effect, I forget.

Hulky I think all we did was change fumbles, TD scoring was not altered to my knowledge

[Maverik]

oh, I meant weekly score

[bdog1321]

can't recall seeing one over 120

[bludhoundz]

im pretty sure ive seen like 132 before to be honest

i could be wrong

also i checked and it looks like the all-time record is 1044 from manon a couple years ago.

[Maverik]

really liking how match-ups look this week

I think manon has a solid chance to knock off bdog and burn does against Ima too

assuming Tyreek doesn't rawdog me this time around, I think I have a good chance at the 'ship

[bludhoundz]

Yeah my matchups this week are horrible. Not having Jeffery hurts too. This week is my biggest hurdle I think.

[Sanosuke]

Great to end the season with the most PA. 78.17 is what opponents averaged on me.

[Hulky]

I got the #1 seed in both of my money leagues. I hope I finally pull off a win in fantasy sports.

[bdog1321]

really liking how match-ups look this week

assuming Tyreek doesn't rawdog me this time around, I think I have a good chance at the 'ship

Yeah my team has definitely cooled off. That said I think I'm very underrated projection-wise this week. Carr is getting more than 16 lol.

[Gryph]

3rd year in a row I get knocked out in a win and clinch position. fuckin Rawls.

...

sigh. One day the curse will end.

[The Professor]

My team was finally fully healthy for once and it was enough to knock Gryph out. Success.

Still missed playoffs. Failure :(

[The Butcher]

I must win this week in money league to make playoffs.

Rodgers or Stafford?

[Hugh]

Stafford.
Chicago sucks so hard. Stafford should have a big day against them.
Rogers is playing the Seahawks. Earl Thomas is out but I still doubt he'll put up big numbers.

[The Butcher]

But packers must win, and they are at home, will Rogers really suck again?

I benched him for stafford last week and it worked out great. I don't wanna push it though. But I need to win.

[bludhoundz]

If the Pack had a legit deep threat to take advantage of Thomas's absence, it might be a different story. But since that's not the case, start Stafford

[Maverik]

fuck me

not again

[Maverik]

literally gonna get analed by Tyreek

fucking shit

[The Cheat]

Lafell of Cincy vs Browns

Or

Taylor Gabriel of falcons vs Rams?

I'm think Gabriel because Julio Jones might not play.

[bdog1321]

Welp bye

[Maverik]

you aren't as fucked as I am

Carr can still get some garbage TDs

[bludhoundz]

i think bdog is more fucked

our game is far from over. you still have david johnson, who can always turn in a 30 burger

[bdog1321]

i think bdog is more fucked

our game is far from over. you still have david johnson, who can always turn in a 30 burger

not sure how i survived

[Hulky]

Because Breesus equally punted basically. I benched Rodgers for Wilson in another league for the first time all year and lucked out that it's still close because my opponent had Brees too. Crazy first playoff week for QBs.

[bludhoundz]

fantasy gods, provide me with a vintage rodgers performance to take down the fighting bdogs

[The Cheat]

Should I start Desean Jackson vs panthers or Taylor Gabriel of the falcons at home vs san fran

[Hulky]

I think I'd gamble on the Falcon, but I think Desean is the more popular start

[bdog1321]

These games today are crazy! Bludz got some major garbage-not-garbage-time points from Jeffery.

[The Cheat]

I'm down 60 and only have four players left. Of course the saints play well in the first time in weeks and atlanta fucking runs the ball.

I have so much rage now.

Also the number one seed, undefeated guy in the league is about to lose. I was number 2 seed. We are both going to lose.

So fucking pissed.

[bludhoundz]

i knew i was in trouble when it comes down to kelley outscoring elliott lol. rodgers let me down when i needed him most, if he had even 15 points i think i would have a really good shot. as is, i need multiple touchdowns

also i sat brate for bennet in another league and it cost me a trip to the championship game

[Hulky]

I need Desean to score 30 which I think is around 150 yards 2 TDs ish

[I'malive]

Coulda been in the championship if I had started Derrick Henry..not what I expected going into the week lol.

Oh well, as long as Desean doesn't go off I have a solid chance of making it in my other league, which is dope considering I went 6-6-1 and Tom Brady shit the bed for me this week.

[Spencer 555]

Who winning the tao league??

[bludhoundz]

probably blex v bdog unless rob kelley has 3 touchdowns for me

[bdog1321]

Good game bludz. I would rather have played you in the finals because I think you're the best owner in the league.

On to blex. Has there ever been two cowboys fans in the championship? I'm not gonna lose the Dallas Bowl.

[bdog1321]

Also my wr situation is a mess, no idea who I'm starting for the finals

[Blexican]

Also my wr situation is a mess, no idea who I'm starting for the finals

Im not confident in Tavon. He's been all over the place this season. I'm hoping the new coach knows to get him involved. His athleticism is insane.

I think it will come down to who Rodgers chooses to score. Adams or Jordy. Hopefully it's a close game. GL

[bludhoundz]

gg bdog, damn I wish I made it now, Rodgers really is going off in the Superbowl

[bdog1321]

Im not confident in Tavon. He's been all over the place this season. I'm hoping the new coach knows to get him involved. His athleticism is insane.

I think it will come down to who Rodgers chooses to score. Adams or Jordy. Hopefully it's a close game. GL

i'm too scared to check the score till tomorrow

[Hulky]

If the Cowboys rest Zeke Blex is Champ, otherwise Bdog is favored (needs like 8ish which is like 100 yards no td).

[bludhoundz]

Cowboys aren't resting Zeke lol

He's gonna have like 15

[Maverik]

I would lol if they rest him

[Blexican]

I want him rested just for Cowboys sake. We're not playing for anything, no reason to risk it. I think the 'groove' Garrett is talking about is bullshit. They built up chemistry, that's what matters. They will carry their chemistry on regardless of rest.

It coming down to a Cowboys player is hilariously fitting though, given us two.

[The Professor]

Back in 07, when Dallas was 13-3, they rested everybody in the end. When they played the Giants, they lost that game more because of their mistakes than what the Giants did. Giants played well, but Dallas looked rusty and out of sync a majority of the game.

I don't have the answer, but you have to acknowledge that having two weeks off versus one week can be just as detrimental as an injury. Obviously at full health you'll have a better chance to win vs. one of your best getting hurt, but it's also no guarantee you get hurt.

Dak should definitely play. Dude needs the reps. This is why having Romo as a backup right now is such a luxury. Zeke...idk.

[bludhoundz]

They get a free week of rest due to the bye anyway. This is a young team without playoff experience, they need to stay in the game. Prof is right, they need to keep playing otherwise they risk rust or losing the magic that's gotten them there.

Personally I wouldn't pull anyone until the 2nd half of week 17
