I'd keep Lacy based on his ability, the offense he is in, and the likelihood of Rawls being hurt (he is already questionable for week 1). Charles is too risky in that offense and his past injury history.

9/7/2017 1:45:34 PM

^ I hear ya, thanks for the opinion. Will try to sit tight and see how this week plays out. Hopefully Charles doesn't blow up and I kick myself for not picking him up while I could.

9/7/2017 3:58:46 PM

PPR, pick one

- Adrian Peterson, versus his former team
- Bilal Powell versus the Bills
- James White versus KC tonight

Peterson is old but he's as fresh as he'll be all year and he wants to stick it to Minnesota
Powell is on a shit team but he'll get lots of touches
White is feast or famine since NE RBs are impossible to predict, but he'll probably get 5-6 passes thrown his way

[Edited on September 7, 2017 at 4:14 PM. Reason : .]

9/7/2017 4:13:10 PM

^ I'll help narrow it down - don't go for White this week.

I'd probably go for Powell in this one if I have to pick.

Somewhat ignored the PPR bit btw - but Powell should generate enough yards rushing to negate the PPR need.

[Edited on September 7, 2017 at 4:27 PM. Reason : PPR note.]

9/7/2017 4:26:22 PM

Yeah I don't remember who said it, but somebody slightly credible on ESPN radio said they thought it would be a big James white game as far as passes. So..

9/7/2017 5:15:14 PM

PPR league...

Hogan tonight vs KC

or

A. Robinson @ Houston

Thanks a lot Irma

9/7/2017 5:59:49 PM

^man, that's tough...dunno what we get with Hogan. I'd probably roll ARob then hate myself

Who to drop for a K? PPR. Have a big bench, hence the fliers.

Got it down to Dalton (Mariota my starter), Paul Richardson, Smallwood, or Robby Anderson. Leaning towards Richardson atm, as i think the others have higher upside.

9/7/2017 6:11:00 PM

Yahoo's new StatTracker Beta is 100x better than their old Flash piece of shit

9/10/2017 1:26:11 PM

looks like DJ out an extended period of time

9/11/2017 3:15:39 PM

two highest scoring teams in our league this week are tied at 101.6 and it's gonna come down to Ted Ginn who is on my opponents bench this week

fantasy is dumb

[Edited on September 11, 2017 at 3:27 PM. Reason : .]

9/11/2017 3:27:22 PM

Glad I didn't stream a defense this week when I heard Aaron Donald wasn't playing

9/11/2017 3:33:21 PM

^^your tiebreaker is bench points? That's super dumb.

[Edited on September 11, 2017 at 4:39 PM. Reason : ^]

9/11/2017 4:39:14 PM

how?

9/11/2017 4:41:34 PM

Because those people didn't play.

Should be a tie and that's it.


_____

Cohen for the Bears
or
K Williams for the Cardinals

which is a better RB pickup week one?

9/11/2017 4:46:58 PM

Cohen was a fluke. Williams will get volume.

9/11/2017 4:48:17 PM

Cohen all day in a PPR. Maybe Williams for one week against Indy's defense.

9/11/2017 5:01:07 PM

"two highest scoring teams in our league this week are tied at 101.6"

And they were playing each other? Or you get extra points for highest score of the week?

9/11/2017 6:21:31 PM

yes, they are playing each other

9/11/2017 6:41:43 PM

I don't understand what's dumb. Your league's rules, maybe?

9/11/2017 6:55:02 PM

because the other 8 teams aren't close to 100 points and the top 2 scoring teams tied, in a league with specialized scoring that was implemented to prevent ties

9/11/2017 7:13:53 PM

I wonder why your commissioner doesn't use a hundredth place. Seems weird, especially if trying to prevent ties. If anything is dumb about this situation, that gets my vote.

9/11/2017 7:28:38 PM

hundredths are used...

shocked that the two people who love to argue are arguing that fantasy can't be dumb

dumb luck is a huge part of fantasy

9/11/2017 7:36:39 PM

I have the top priority spot on the waiver wire and lost Allen Robinson for the season. Who would you take:

Tarik Cohen
Cooper Kupp
Jordan Matthews

or someone else who is showing upside who is probably available in most leagues?

9/11/2017 7:46:26 PM

so both teams are tied at 101.60 with no remaining starters? should just be a tie

9/11/2017 8:21:12 PM

because ties are lame

9/11/2017 8:23:34 PM

Having players who aren't actually playing influence the outcome of a game is lame.

[Edited on September 11, 2017 at 8:36 PM. Reason : Just don't have a bench and have every player be active]

9/11/2017 8:36:13 PM

they are playing, though

it's a way to see which team had a better week in the event of a tie, simple as that

Sure, but luck is dumb there not fantasy itself.

Quote :

"hundredths are used..."

Then why didn't you include them...?

Quote :

"they are playing, though"

Not for your team.

Fantasy mirrors the NFL, and ties are allowed in the NFL so shouldn't be such a big deal for fantasy.

[Edited on September 11, 2017 at 8:46 PM. Reason : ]

9/11/2017 8:39:36 PM

So you penalize guys who have injured players on their bench as well as players on byes who aren't in the lineup. That is insanely dumb.

9/11/2017 8:52:37 PM

Alex Smith and Sam Bradford have outplayed Tom Brady and Drew Brees. Seems legit.

9/11/2017 9:29:05 PM

This week is the upside down for those QBs

[Edited on September 11, 2017 at 9:39 PM. Reason : hopefully]

9/11/2017 9:36:22 PM

because math?

if a player gets .04 for doing something, and said player does it 10 times, what happens?

Quote :

"Fantasy mirrors the NFL, and ties are allowed in the NFL so shouldn't be such a big deal for fantasy."

it doesn't, though. especially when it comes to scoring. people also tend to dislike ties, which is why when given the choice to implement a tie-breaker, that choice is made.

and fantasy is dumb. it is meaningless in the grand scheme of things. there are plenty of dumb things that are fun to play.

there's a decent chance I'll lose this week because Cole Beasley used his nameplate to catch a ball. that is very dumb.

9/11/2017 9:52:24 PM

I don't think Alex Smith and Sam Bradford's performances are flukes. They have weapons all around them and have coaches willing to open up the playbook.

9/11/2017 9:54:23 PM

But you're not here for math. You removed a critical piece of information pertinent to your entire post.

9/11/2017 10:02:30 PM

which is?

9/11/2017 10:08:06 PM

that piece of information was not nearly critical enough to warrant you overanalyzing it. he came here to vent, not for details on why you disapprove of their scoring system.

9/11/2017 10:11:22 PM

^^ Weird. We were talking about an exact topic and now you've completely forgotten about it. You might want to see someone about that.

9/11/2017 10:11:49 PM

I'm tied at 47, only put Travis Benjamin in when obj was definitely out.. Non ppr and 25 yards per point. Probably gonna tie. Not mad about it.

9/11/2017 10:13:28 PM

^^ you upset that I went with .6 instead of .60?

9/11/2017 10:31:33 PM

no

9/11/2017 10:38:04 PM

Anyone think Woodhead is going to be back anytime soon?

9/11/2017 10:48:38 PM

even if he does come back in the next 2-3 weeks, how long will it be before his next injury?

9/11/2017 11:03:15 PM

Yeah that's a big if, and am trying to decide if I should cut bait with him.

Dumbly took him in the 9th round...

9/11/2017 11:19:35 PM

^^^^ what was it, then?

9/12/2017 12:56:09 AM

Cut him

9/12/2017 1:02:16 AM

Done.

9/12/2017 1:28:19 AM

Since this got lost in the shuffle...

I'd think Cohen is the #1 add this week, esp in a PPR league. But if you really need a WR, then Kupp is prob your best bet.

9/12/2017 8:28:58 AM

^^ honestly I skip making a claim this week and hold that top waiver spot for another week. None of those names are worth losing your spot. Just wait until waivers are over and then pick someone up. My guess is at least one of those wont be claimed.
