I hate the playoffs
I spend the entire week before the games.....second guessing all of my choices.
Do I start Matt Ryan vs. the Panthers? Or do I start Kaepernick against the Dolphins? Do I start Charles because he gets the ball at least 20 times a game? Or do I start Ridley who will get the opportunity for TDs? Do I start the Browns defense vs. the Chiefs? Or do I start the Jets defense against Henne (who could go off at anytime)? Nothing worse than losing in the playoffs because you made a poor choice. |
I'd go kaep, Charles, browns
|
I lose points for yards and points allowed for my defense.
Would you still start Charles AND the Browns? |
This is my Week 1 Matchup
My Team: Matt Ryan vs Panthers Stevan Ridley vs. Texans Doug Martin vs. Eagles Julio Jones vs. Panthers A.J. Green vs. Cowboys Victor Cruz vs. Saints Jared Cook vs. Colts Browns DEF vs. Chiefs Justin Tucker vs. Redskins His Team: Andy Dalton vs. Cowboys Arian Foster vs. Patriots Steven Jackson vs. Bills Brandon Marshall vs. Vikings Eric Decker vs. Raiders TY Hilton vs. Titans Brandon Myers vs. Broncos Bengals DEF vs. Cowboys Matt Bryant vs. Panthers |

but I don't see how you can bench Charles...you never bench your studs. It's a rule. |
Ryan, Charles, Browns for me
I agree with the hating of the playoffs though. |

That said, I still say you dance with them that brought you. |
They both will probably score the same amount of points anyways. I think both will definitely throw for 2 TD's and 250 yards. After that its sacks, INT's, and missing playmakers that'll hurt them.
|
this is why I hate traditional, 1 QB fantasy leagues
both of the teams in my two deep roster, OP (meaning you can play 2 QBs) keeper leagues that have Andrew Luck are in the playoffs...1 of them is the #1 seed...he went #1 and #2 in the two keeper drafts overall I just can't respect any fantasy football leagues where Andrew Luck isn't a weekly starter...I just think it's stubborn when people bash 2 QB leagues and tell me how unrealistic they are yet starting 3-4 RB's every week is WAY more realistic! |
Relax. Set your final lineup on Friday night, and do whatever you can to avoid thinking about it until the games have already started.
And most of all, dont listen to anyone on CP, ESPN, fantasy gurus, or whatever. Listening to the masses has F'd me over time after time. |

At least you ****ers made the playoffs. My team is first in points scored, and 5-8 on the season. No playoffs for me. Every damn week I was in the top 2 or 3 scores in the league, but I'd always get a ton scored against me.
|
Matt Ryan
Jamaal Charles Chris Johnson Ahmad Bradshaw Roddy White Reggie Wayne Dez Bryant Steve Johnson Tony Gonzalez Jermaine Gresham Damnit I like this team. I got hosed. |
we always pay out for points as well...this year in one league the top 6 scorers all made the playoffs

Every year, we have a team or two that scores a ton, gets unlucky every week, and misses the playoffs. That's reeruned, IMO. This year, the team that scored the 2nd most out of 12 teams missed the playoffs. That's ridiculous. I've thought about two possible solutions. Giving the 6 highest scoring teams each week a "win" and giving the 6 lowest scoring teams a "loss" - then using a team's "record" to determine playoff seeding with points scored as a tiebreaker. Or, doing a roto-hybrid league where the highest scoring team each week is awarded 12 points, the 2nd highest scoring team 11 points, etc. Then the top 6 in these "points" go to the playoffs. In each scenario, you'd have the option of sticking with this scoring in the playoffs, or returning to a H2H format specifically for the playoffs. Thoughts? |

Ours is a 12 team league that still plays h2h with a small cash prize at the end for best h2h,however,the leagues scoring is based on a tier system.In other words,say I'm playing you and you beat me 145.5 to 143.7 I lose the h2h match-up but based on the other total scores I had the 2nd highest point total I'm awarded 10 pts. the tier is 11 thru 0.Those tier points are accumulated weekly and decide the play-offs and reward those who built the most solid team throughout the season. On a personal note if your league does this get ready for Monday nights because even though you may have won your H2H you're watching everyone else who may have players going because in the end it's all about the best built team and keeps everyone interested till the end. |
Lastly,if you want a real challenge,we play all 17 weeks on the tier system and then our play-offs go with the NFL play-offs.In other words top 6 of 12 tier scoring make play-offs and can keep any play-off bound players on their rosters.Rosters must stay the same as reg season,no pick-ups once re-draft is over and no H2H but a full blown week to week overall points to decide Super Bowl winner.

in my 12 team keeper leagues ($75 buy in) we do $50 towards H2H and $25 towards points.
6 teams make the playoffs Payouts are: $300 1st $150 2nd $100 3rd $50 4th $180 1st in points $90 2nd in points $30 3rd in points In one of those keeper leagues, the 6 highest scoring teams all made the playoffs. But I also play adult FFL and play in OP leagues where you can start 2 QB's so the position isn't devalued and the league actually takes a little cognitive thought other than taking RB's over and over and over for the first 5 rounds |
oh and the league ends for both H2H and points after week 16...week 17 does not exist

Just think about that Hillis to Quinn play a few weeks ago...if Quinn makes that catch it could have made someone's season in that league!
|
I'm so nervous. I really need to win here to attain legitimacy for my franchise.

It's true. Someday people will understand how non-skillful 1 QB leagues are.

just don't understand why the single most valuable position in sports gets undervalued in the biggest fantasy sport out there
makes NO sense whatsoever I guarantee in 5 years or less every standard league will start being an OP league everyone is just behind the curve (other than me, of course!) they are just far more enjoyable leagues |
Put Charles back into my lineup 5 minutes before the game. Thank God.
Ended up starting the Jets defense instead of the Browns defense. Missed out on 5 points. Oh well. I'm up 160 to 98 and all he has left is Arian Foster. |
What a week for Coughlin to give Wilson his shot,Bradshaw killed me.
|
I'm up 20 with Riddler and Hernandez vs. Brady. I like my chances.
|
Alright.....so obviously I won that matchup. I win this week and I'm in the Championship game. I play the team this week that I lost to in Week 1. Who the **** do I start?
Pick 1 Matt Ryan vs. Giants Colin Kaepernick vs. Patriots Pick 2 Jamaal Charles vs. Raiders Doug Martin vs. Saints Stevan Ridley vs. 49ers Pick 3 Julio Jones vs. Giants A.J. Green vs. Eagles Victor Cruz vs. Falcons Pierre Garcon vs. Browns Jordy Nelson vs. Bears Pick 1 Browns vs. Redskins Jets vs. Titans Vikings vs. Rams (FA pickup if need be) My RBs are obvious. I'm not starting Ridley against the 49ers. I generally hate having a bunch of players in 1 game.....but Ryan, Jones and Cruz are obvious starts. The defense is what gets me the most. The Browns have to play RGIII. The Jets are playing on Monday night....but that team is all sorts of ****ed. And the Vikings play the Rams....but the Rams have shown the capability of putting up points. It's basically going to come down to whether or not Ryan decides to **** me over. |
Any chance that either the Lions (@ Arizona) or Bengals (@ Philly) are available? I would look there if they are rather than Minnesota.
Otherwise the only possibility I see is Kaepernick and like you, I would start Ryan. |
The Lions? Yes. The Bengals? No.
|
The Cardinals haven't scored 20 since week 4, are the lowest scoring team in the NFL, have gained the fewest yards, have given up (by far) the most sacks, and only two teams (KC and Philly) have committed more turnovers.
I believe Detroit is the answer for a defense this week if you can get them. |
****....I thought they were available. Turns out someone picked up them up last week. Bastards. Here are the FA defenses that are available.
Cardinals vs. DET Eagles vs. CIN Cowboys vs. PIT Vikings vs. STL Bucs vs. NO Panthers vs. SD Redskins vs. CLE Chiefs vs. OAK Colts vs. HOU Raiders vs. KC Saints vs. TB Titans vs. NYJ Jags vs. MIA |
**** Seattle's defense.
Win my division, best record in the league and I'm out in the 1st round because Seattle's defense scored an insane amount of points. Scoring in our league is generally around 130-150 is needed to win. I lost 181-136. FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1111111111111 |
Very much "yuck" right there. If I had to go with one of them, I would probably roll the dice with the Raiders, but the Jets may be the way to go and not lose a waiver claim. Of course if RGIII is out you stay with Cleveland.

My match up this week. Win and I'm in the Championship game.
My Team: Matt Ryan vs. NYG Jamaal Charles vs. OAK Doug Martin vs. NO Julio Jones vs. NYG A.J. Green vs. PHI (17.7 points) Victor Cruz vs. ATL Greg Olsen vs. SD Justin Tucker vs. DEN Jets DEF vs. TEN His Team: Tom Brady vs. SF Darren McFadden vs. KC C.J. Spiller vs. SEA Bryce Brown vs. CIN (5.5 points) Hakeem Nicks vs. ATL Danario Alexander vs. CAR Aaron Hernandez vs. SF Patriots DEF vs. SF Lawrence Tynes vs. ATL We have a total of 5 players in the ATL/NYG matchup. |
Methinks you win, but not by much
|
I need that ATL/NYG game to be a high scoring game.......and the NE/SF game to be low scoring.
The guy I'm playing is really good friend of mine. We co-commish the league together. He won it all last year.....so I'm praying to God that I knock him out this week. |
My lineups for my main league are below. I've never won the fricking thing but have finished 2nd or 3rd five dang times in nine (this is our 10th) year One of my others is worth more money, but this is the one I care about. I'm hoping that it's my time.
Freeman @ NO Richardson v Was Martin @ NO Jackson v Min Jones v NYG Blackmon @ Mia Gates v Car Lions @ Ari Bailey v Pit Kaepernick @ NE Foster v Ind Gore @ NE White v NYG Gordon v Was Alexander v Car Chandler v Sea Vikings @ StL Tucker v Den Who ya got? |
Not to Bogart your thread Pest.
Here's my quarterfinal matchup. Im already down 23, mind you. ShowMeYourTDs (me) Romo v. Pitt Foster v. Indy DMC v. KC Cruz @ ATL Welker v. SF Garcon @ Cleveland Alexander v. Carolina Janikowski v. KC Miami v. jax Mad Russians (him) Stafford @ Arizona Spiller v. Seattle Ridley v. SF Bryant v. Pitt Megatron @ Zona Decker @ Balt Richardson v. Wash Bryant v.

Done. |

(I got to root for Alexander though. Hope you don't mind). |
Yeah, with both RBs I think you'll be OK...I hope you're right in mine as well
|
Quote:
I dislike the fact that it seems Houston has recently too. I NEED MOAR FOSTER!!!! |
Would you start David Wilson over any of the following players?
Jamaal Charles Doug Martin Victor Cruz Julio Jones? |
Quote:
|
In a PPR I would start Cruz and with White iffy may start Julio. In a non PPR, I don't think I would, but neither one of those two would be crazy.
Certainly not over either of the other RBs though......Martin is my #1 RB this week |
Quote:
Although Brady is at home and has been playing well he will be running from both Smiths all night and Bellichek will know how to scheme against this rookie QB and slow him down. So I suspect a low scoring game as well. |
I'm up by 65. He has Brady and Hernandez left. I have the Jets defense (if need be.
I'm praying to God that they don't do what they did last week. |

|
And now my dilemma.
I'm up by 6. I still have the Jets defense left. I can start them just incase there is a stat change. Or I can not start them (because of the possibility of negative points) and pray for no stat changes. What do you think? |

I'm the Chiefs of fantasy football.
Won the division in both of my leagues, with a first round bye in one of them. Of course, I get smoked in the first game of both leagues. :banghead: ****ing Victor Cruz. :cuss: |
It all comes down to this. How badly do I get beat?
My Team: Ryan vs. DET Charles vs. IND Martin vs. STL Jones vs. DET Green vs. PIT Cruz vs. BAL Olsen vs. OAK Defense undecided Tucker vs. NYG His Team: Newton vs. OAK Peterson vs. HOU Richardson vs. DEN Johnson vs. MIN Smith vs. OAK Blackmon vs. NE Gates vs. NYJ Panthers DEF vs. OAK Gostkowski vs. JAC |
Oh....and pick a defense.
Jets vs. SD Colts vs. KC |
Would you start Victor Cruz or Pierre Garcon?
|
Tough!
But I'm going Jets and Garcon...with Garcon being a really, really tough choice. I just trust RGIII throwing a TD over Eli at this point. |
Yeah....I'm flip flopping between Garcon and Cruz. Cruz has the potential for a big game....but hasn't done shit lately. Plus the Ravens are slouches. Garcon on the other hand has a QB who will chuck it deep and he's guaranteed to get at least 10 targets a game.
I'm leaning towards the Colts defense because I'm going to have to go balls out to win this championship game. The guy I'm playing is ****ing stacked. Plus the Chiefs ****ing suck. |
Quote:
I would also like to take the time to thank Tony G for getting my team off to a horrible start on championship weekend. Nine yards is just ****ing great Tony. Damn you. Side note, interesting that you had the decision with the Jets D last week, as I was also up 6 in that game and benched Greene. |
CHAMPIONSHIP!!!!!! $850 richer.....
|
Totally dominated. Worst week I've had, probably all season.
