Fantasy Football Discussion

[Kaius]

Actually, Khiry is a good point. Maybe I'll stick with Gore...

Who should I start at QB, though. I want to go with Brady because I hate the Raiders. But Brady's been SO lackluster (again!) this year. He hasn't gotten me a double digit week yet. But it's Oakland! Surely, he's gonna light up Oakland, right?

If not Brady, then I have to go with Cousins or Dalton. And without AJ Green (potentially) Dalton worries me.

I don't know.

It seems like Green is going to play, but I think Brady has the most upside out of those 3. Cousins close behind.

[Biff Pocoroba]

Rotten week at the fantasy week; Aaron Rodgers led my team with 12 points.

[Kaius]

So far I'm having one of those years where you play the highest scoring team in the league each week...

has anyone here ever been in a league where a 2-pt conversion success/failure by a team's offense counts for/against that same team's defense?

i thought i had come back to tie my game on that last carolina touchdown by benjamin, but the subsequent failed 2-pt conversion by the carolina offense counted against my starting carolina defense. again, i tied the game on the td by benjamin, but then lost because the carolina offense's 2-pt failed and counted against my carolina defense/st!

is this ridiculous to anyone else? i know there are fake-xps for 2pt-ers every once in a great while, making a case that special teams is on the field so success/failure should help/hurt that def/st, but i've never hear of a rule like this before.

that's one of the most ridiculous things i've heard.

[Thejambi]

That is ridiculous.

[CopperTom]

That is ridiculous.

[AndySlash]

thanks- i was wondering if i was just missing something obvious. some people have been in this league for 20 years or so, so i've asked if there is some sort of historical significance to this setup because it is baffling the way it is now.

is owen daniels even worth picking up to replace pitta? the waiver wire for TE's is awful...not that pitta was getting me much anyway

Meh. Without knowing your free agents he's better than nothing I suppose.

[TBAMTS]

Up 1 with Gould going tonight, while my opponent has Decker. If Decker plays it's going to be a close one!

14-team league so the pickings are incredibly slim...if jordan reed comes back he's available!

i'm decently deep at WR so i may have to attempt a trade

[Kaius]

I don't need a wr, but who do you have RB?

for what it's worth, this was the explanation i was given:

The two point conversion has always been counted as a special teams play because of the negative points for a missed conversion. There is no fair way to put those negative points on any specific offensive player. In turn the special teams are rewarded for a successful conversion. The whole idea behind negative points in this league is to make it as realistic as possible. When a player throws an interception, misses a field goal or blows a two point conversion, it hurts their real team and so we wanted it to feel the same on the fantasy teams. Rules are always up for negotiations before the season starts. We have been known to make changes, but there must be sound reasoning and also agreement by the league as a whole. Hope this helps explain things.

i guess i get what they're trying to do. it's pretty stupid, though.

[Thejambi]

By that logic, a kicker shouldn't get a -1 on a blocked FG.
Perhaps no overtime scoring should be counted either since offensive players get more time to add points and defenses are tested for longer.

[lennytheweedwhacker]

somebody already took daniels...darn waiver priority

chandler or meyers seem like my best options

[Kaius]

I'll give you kelce for your #2 rb.

[lennytheweedwhacker]

I'll give you kelce for your #2 rb.

From a fantasy points standpoint my rb's rank as follows:

1. Rashad Jennings
2. Terrence West
3. Matt Forte
4. D'Angelo Williams

f you forte, f you...he's had some tough matchups so i'm expecting better things

forte gets shoe string tackled more than any player in the history of football

i was this close to plucking eli off the waiver wire to fill in for peyton this week; i would've looked like a GENIUS.
