UM Fantasy Football League 2015

[Baroque]

Taking a chance this week, I've got all New Orleans and Denver on offense. I would start Denver on defense if they were available.

So Drew Brees throws for 600 yards and 7 TDs one week, and then loses to Tennessee the next. Gone are the days of him being the most consistent fantasy QB. And Peyton Manning loses to his old team which has sucked all year, wtf?

Rodgers puts up next to no FP 1 week, then goes off for 43 against Carolina. wtf.

 

[Krigloch the Furious]

Eddie Lacy, the biggest piece of shit in the NFL

Congrats Brooks on clinching the first playoff spot. Now, expect to lose this week.

I probably would lose if you didn't keep dropping players that benefit me. Kelce, West, & Murray might save my ass after losing Charles & Foster.

 

[King Richard]

Heh. If it wasn't those guys it would have been someone else. This isn't a deep league. Either way I'm gonna beat your sloppy seconds ass this week! Good luck against that Denver d. Muhhahshahah

Sounds like the most whacked combination of rules. Waivers are for losers in any case.

Explain. Although, I don't think you can argue that our rosters are way too small and bench way too big considering the talent that is available in the free agents list. We're in an 8 team league for crying out loud. Even if the scoring stayed the same, the rosters definitely need fixed.

I'm trying to get my work league to drop waivers. I guess the argument is 'some people don't have Internet access at home' but you don't have an excuse with smartphones

Well, it is a good argument that not everyone just sits at their pc waiting for guys to get knocked out of the game and immediately pick up the hot backup. Waivers serve one purpose: parity.

Exactly. I understand the necessity of waivers back in the day for paper leagues or in the early days of internet leagues, but now it's just an excuse for people who don't pay much attention to the league anyway to grab guy X on Wednesday or whatever because.....a list at this point based basically on not being competitive?

Refer to above.

I thought of something else: My work league is a money league and I can see the parity needed for something like that if waivers is included.

What's the difference?

 

[The Ozzman]

The fact that money is involved

 

[King Richard]

Uh huh. So, it makes sense when money is on the line, but otherwise it's stupid. Why? If fair is fair, how does that not apply across the board?

It's not 2004 bro.

Waivers serve one purpose: let me go get shitfaced on sunday and then log on later and pick up what I want.

FYP

I don't see the problem with the rosters, unless you wanted to reduce it by 1 bench slot, I could see an argument for that. But given what you proffered for a lineup/bench setup, you've been Cheechin the Chong too much. Let's just have 3 QBs 10WR/TEs 6RBs and 4DEF. MOAR SCORING CHUCKLOLOLOLOL

 

[The Ozzman]

Or just shut the league down after this year. I'd be fine with that too because my interest in FFL is waning.

 

[Dak]

I blame FanDuel/DKs. Almost makes me hate fantasy when it's shoved in my face.

 

[King Richard]

Also, 10 yds/pt is dumb. Should be .1 pts/yd for wrt

 

[The Ozzman]

Didn't you come up with the scoring for the first years of this?

 

[King Richard]

No. I think that's a default setting.

 

[Baroque]

Also, 10 yds/pt is dumb. Should be .1 pts/yd for wrt

Wait, isn't that the same thing?

10 yds/1 pt and 1 yd/.1 pt

Multiply the second one by 10/10.

 

[Baroque]

I wonder how much you would want to change things if you were in first place.
