Fantasy Football 2012 Thread

Yeah we use Yahoo as well, very frustrating yesterday. I was actually going to NFL.COM and doing some hand-figuring to get my stats. That was very old school because I was a guy doing the same hand figuring for Fantasy Football back in the early 90's before computers did it all for you! LOL

Here's funny...

I have a team in a 2-QB league...where we play 2 active QBs every week. I have RGIII and Aaron Rodgers...both on bye this week.


So, I dropped some end-of-the-bench WRs and RBs to pick up the ONLY two remaining active QBs this week off the wire just to have someone in the spots for a few poitns instead of none. They were Mark Sanchez and Blaine Gabbert.

They COMBINED to get me 11 points!

They're going back into the FA pool obviously...one week need.

Oh, and I'm going to win the matchup this week too.

The Warpath Money League has lost a bit of its drama going into these last weeks. One team has already clinched a spot. As to the last three spots, one (or more) of the three 7-3 teams has to go 1-3 or 0-4 and one (or more) of the 4-6 teams has to go 3-1 or 4-0. Also, given the scoring to date, the current top 4 teams are likely to hold the "highest points" tiebreaker.

Haven't looked at the schedule, but I imagine it would be possible for the playoffs to be basically set this weekend.

If you guys all play in 14 game regular season leagues like I do, then 8-6 most likely will be enough to make it into the playoffs which are Weeks 15 and 16. I'm 8-2 in one league and 9-1 in another. I'm kind of coasting until mid-December. Then you know my guys won't show up and I'll probably loose in the first round!

[JoeRedskin]

Yeah, that happened to me a couple of years ago ... highest scoring team all year, best record in the league, then the first week of the play-offs my guys tank. Boom. Done. Just the way the cookie crumbles.

I have a great team this year but I can see it happening all over again.

As for our league, we have one undefeated team, three 7-3 teams then five 4-6 teams. I agree, 8-6 will probably get a team in the play-offs, but I think a lot of things would have to break in favor of one of the current 4-6 teams to do that - including making up a substantial point differential.

i love my money league team, 7-3 and just clinched my division, most likely the #2 seed in the playoffs.

starting to plot moves for the final weeks, when some starters may be resting.

it was the cj spiller/lance moore/mikel leshoure for aj green trade that put me over the top. he's still kicking himself, idk what he was thinking

I lost in the Warpath league by 4 points cuz Rapelisberger had to go and get injured. F you!

i didn't watch, when did he get hurt? that's frustrating

[los panda]

i'm trying to package any of the guys in bold for a top te. can you see yourself giving up a top 10 te by trading for 3 of those guys? if so, which 3?

QB Carson Palmer, Oak*QB
RB LeSean McCoy, Phi*RB
RB Matt Forte, Chi*RB
WR Larry Fitzgerald, Ari*WR
WR A.J. Green, Cin*WR
TE Joel Dreessen, Den*TE
FLEX Jamaal Charles, KC*RB
D/ST Broncos D/ST*D/ST
K Justin Tucker, Bal*K

Bench Hakeem Nicks, NYG*WR**P
Bench Andy Dalton, Cin*QB
Bench Alex Green, GB*RB
Bench Mike Williams, TB*WR
Bench Martellus Bennett, NYG*TE
Bench Danny Amendola, StL*WR**P
Bench Rashard Mendenhall, Pit*RB**Q

[los panda]

[los panda]

seriously considering offering nicks and forte for graham.

QB Carson Palmer, Oak*QB
RB LeSean McCoy, Phi*RB
RB Jamaal Charles, KC*RB
WR Larry Fitzgerald, Ari*WR
WR A.J. Green, Cin*WR
TE Joel Dreessen, Den*TE Welcome Jimmy Graham, NO TE
FLEX Danny Amendola, StL*WR

Bench Andy Dalton, Cin*QB
Bench Mike Williams, TB*WR
Bench Martellus Bennett, NYG*TE
Bench Rashard Mendenhall, Pit*RB**P
Bench Andre Brown, NYG*RB

i would cut dreessen, leaving 2 holes on the bench, pick up 2 of these guys (i like denver at d/st and tucker at k from here on out)
LaRod Stephens-Howling, Ari*RB
Jacquizz Rodgers, Atl*RB
Kendall Hunter, SF*RB
Ben Tate, Hou*RB**Q

Danario Alexander, SD*WR

i offered this to 2 other guys:
bennett and mendenhall for hernandez
and
bennett and mendenhall for rudolph

we'll see

You starting Palmer this week? I know they're playing the Saints and they are terrible. But Palmer is my backup. Matt Ryan is my starter and he's playing the Cards.

Suppose I should stick with Ryan?

i would stick w ryan but i feel very good about palmer. i wouldn't mind starting dalton either, but palmer is my choice.

to think i drafted romo and rivers

I'm starting Dalton in my Warpath league. It was either him or Josh Freeman, since Rapelisberger is probably done for the majority of the season

[los panda]

yeah i can't kick myself too hard for drafting romo and rivers since i now have palmer and dalton.

what i can kick myself for is dropping heath miller and jason witten. i'm trying hard to get a good te before it's too late. i really thought he was going to accept forte and nicks for graham. oh well

*edit* i just added brandon myers and dropped martellus bennett
