2016-17 Fantasy Football Discussion Part II

[Bob Richards]

My team put up a dud and I missed out on the final and won't be able to defend my championship.

This is what I get for having an atrocious running corps though.

 

[rangerssharks414]

For a dynasty league, I have David Johnson, Zeke, Odell, and a bunch of other high end players. I didn't make the final.

 

[Big Poppa Puck]

Been to 6 Final Fours in the last two seasons. 0 Championships, with only 1 appearance.


Starting playing fantasy in 2002. Since about 04 I've done 3-4 leagues per year. From 2002-2008 I won 4 championships and went to 5. Have yet to win since and only had 1 appearance.

And I don't think I've missed the playoffs more than 5x in that span across all leagues.

 

[Terry Yake]

i started playing in '06, never done more than 2 leagues a year

i won back to back in 07 and 08. no titles since. made the final 4 every year since 2012 and have nothing to show for it. lost by .7 pts this year

 

[Double-Shift Lasse]

In our only previous matchup this season, the guy I'm playing for a championship beat me by .2. The ESPN preview (which I realize is mostly meaningless but still) predicts a difference of .8.

 

[ShootIt]

Facing Tom Brady and David Johnson.

Second place still gets me money, I ain't that mad lol.

To be optimistic for you, the Jets usually play the Patriots tough, and Johnson has a tough matchup.

My Yahoo matchup prediction has me losing by 0.56 right now, but that changes all the time. I was predicted to win by less than 0.2 an hour ago.

True. But after seeing Moore throw 4 TDs against them, my confidence is quite low for the Jets stopping Brady

Yeah now I'm at -.9 from -.8. Sucks to be getting worse. The games haven't even started yet!

 

[rangerssharks414]

Of course, I have Ertz in one league, and he hardly did anything. And I'm facing Shepard in another league. Those are both of the finals that I'm in... not a good start.

 

[Chairman Mallard]

Well here's the lineups for my game, what say you HF Fantasy Football?

Me

A. Luck
D. Johnson
C. Hyde
L. Murray
O. Beckham Jr - 18 Points (We have a 3 pt bonus for 10+ receptions)
M. Crabtree
J. Gresham (its a 12 team 25 player dynasty so when Gronk went down I didn't have much to go on) Any deep sleeper choices you can think of I can let you know if they are available
S. Janikowski
K. Alexander
B. McDougald


Him

D. Brees
D. Murray
F. Gore
K. Farrow (he was a gordon owner)
T. Hilton
C. Meredith (He may switch to M. Wallace)
D. Pitta (He has Eifert, he may just be messing with me but he also isn't the brightest guy, assuming Eifert plays)
J. Tucker
A. Ogletree
O. Vernon - 3 points

Pretty standard scoring on offense other than bonuses for 10+ receptions, 25+ carries, and 30+ completions. For IDP its 1 per tackle 1 per Pass defensed or TFL, 2 for sack and INT.

My only real possible substitution is subbing out crabtree for D. Adams, Gabriel, or Inman. I also could sub out Luck for Cousins or Dak but I think I'm gonna roll with Luck even though he has Hilton and Gore. I could also sub out Seabass for McManus.

 

[rangerssharks414]

I would leave your lineup alone.

 

[rangerssharks414]

It looks like A.J. Green, Eifert and Miller are out tonight.

 

[rangerssharks414]

I need Kelce to outscore Dez by 6 for a league. I doubt that happens.

 

[Chairman Mallard]

I'm looking good.

Up 39 and he has tucker and pitta left

 

[rangerssharks414]

In a 14 team PPR dynasty with 3 WR spots, 2 flex spots and 3 IDPs, my team put up over 250 in the title game. Looks like barring a miracle that this will be my only win out of way too many leagues.

 

[PM]

Got so incredibly screwed with the late Doug Martin scratch but I think I'm still good after Wilson and Graham's late performance today. Up by 3 now with KC, Zeke and Dez against Tucker and Baltimore. Excitement level is well over 9000.

 

[ShootIt]

Dang. Left Meredith and the chargers d on the bench.
Need a miracle from Brown today

 

[rangerssharks414]

Thanks to Kelce, I am up by 17 against Dez in a non-PPR. I didn't like my chances before tonight, but I like them now. I might actually win a second league.

 

[Double-Shift Lasse]

Any chance Zeke and Prater outscore Stafford by 25?

 

[PM]

Special thanks to MVP Zeke, Mr. Inconsistent Russel Wilson and Mr. Consistent Matt Bryant for the ship this year! Feels good to finally win one! Especially after that garbage late sit of Martin after everyone else on my team had already played.

 

[ShootIt]

I need a FG from Bailey to give me some breathing room...

That and Tate to be shut out...

 

[ShootIt]

Thanks to Kelce, I am up by 17 against Dez in a non-PPR. I didn't like my chances before tonight, but I like them now. I might actually win a second league.

Dang, two TDs. 1 pass and 1 catch

Make that 3

Down by .4 ... ***********

 

[rangerssharks414]

Obviously, I ended up losing where I needed Dez to not go off.

I ended up winning just one league out of 13 (yes, you read that correctly). That sucks.
