He has just much as talent as either them. Now he has a chip on his shoulder and would love nothing more to show up all the people screaming deflategate and cheater in every stadium he visits.

I guess I don't really buy that narrative (not AP "running angry" either, ha), and I don't see Brady doing better than Rodgers, Luck, Peyton, Wilson, or Brees (given the Saints' schedule). I think he's somewhere in with Ben, Ryan, and Tannehill. Totally serviceable QB1, but I'm not spending premium draft capital on him.

Update on my earlier post: I traded my Brandon Marshall and McFadden for his Greg Olsen, used the now-spare slot to pick up Duke Johnson. Feelin pretty good about that. Now I have a spare Zach Ertz to flip, too, so bonus.

Yeah I don't see why he'd have a chip on his shoulder, he cheated and got away with it and made Goodall look stupid in the process. He's probably happy as a clam right now.

Ok, in a 1PPR league Lafell is currently a free agent. The guy that drafted him was the only one that autodrafted and he got a ton of injured players so he dropped them all really quick. I have A. Boldin, S. Smith Sr. and P. Garcon on my bench for WR depth Should I drop Garcon and take a risk on Lafell?

So I think I'm running into some bullshit from a league member. He is purposefully starting horrible/injured/suspended players week 1 in order to get the top waiver pick for the first few weeks. Our waivers work where the lowest points the first week get top priority, and you keep that priority until you make a pick. Once you make a pickup you drop to the back of the line. He is starting LeVeon Bell, M. Bryant, Knile Davis, A.Gates and the Bears D (playing Packers) and isn't shy about telling us his strategy, since he claims its legit. This is retarded right?

Kick him out for being an rear end This comes up every year and the argument is any win you give up is very likely to gently caress you up but it's just system abuse and anyone who tries to game it like that shouldn't be in your league imo

I'm drafting in 3 hours and the league has .03 per kick return yard and .06 per punt return yard. It's 0.5 PPR and has a 2 point bonus for a 40 yard TD rush or reception. I pulled the list of punt and kick returners from ourlads.com depth charts and put the following together. Trying to figure out how much I should adjust the most relevant beersheet for these players. Very few of them actually show up on the beersheet, which is to be expected since they're returners. The ones I'm thinking to consider adjusting are Antonio Brown, Markus Wheaton, Knile Davis, CJ Spiller, Julian Edelman, Jarvis Landry.code:

This is legit. Taking a loss is huge for maybe picking the right waiver guy is dumb. Waiver pickups carry a whole lot of variance whereas very few teams make the playoffs and he's loving himself over in wins and in points. If you think what he's doing is bullshit then change waivers to FAAB.

While not spelled out in the "rules," it certainly is against the spirit of the game. http://games.espn.go.com/ffl/resources/help/content?name=fair-play-and-conduct There is mention of tanking being prohibited when it denies someone a path to the playoffs, but I would have your commish make a ruling and clarify that all tanking is illegal before it actually happens. We had a friend who threw a game in order to face a weaker opponent in the playoffs. He ended up facing the weaker opponent and went on to win the SB. It left a bad taste in our mouth and we all agreed it would not happen again or he was going to get kicked from the league because it was against the spirit of the game. So basically if something feels shady and uncomfortable, it's probably no good for the league and they guy needs to be warned.

I'm more against the waiver thing than I would be against someone tanking for playoff position because it's bad strategy. Can't think of anything that would make it worth it besides a stud RB1 (with a good, unrostered backup) going down for the season in week 1. Kind of bummed about my early Bills defense pick. I like keeping a ton of lottery tickets around in the first couple weeks and I might have to use two roster slots on defense because they play the Colts and the Pats.

Suave Fedora posted:While not spelled out in the "rules," it certainly is against the spirit of the game. Tanking for easier playoff opponents happens in the NFL all the time though - my favorite was the year the Jets played the Colts and Bengals in weeks 16 and 17 and both teams sat their starters against NYJ to gently caress over PIT It's not possible to discourage sandbagging with poorly defined "spirit of the game" rules. You can't mandate managers start player A over player B and who's to say I didn't think Ryan Fitzpatrick was due for a big game? If throwing games is seen as abhorrent (i don't think it should be, it's a strategy that carries huge risk) then the easy fix is to increase the allocation of prize money to the regular season winner

For the whole season, they play Titans, Jaguars, Jets x2, and Redskins, and otherwise don't have a whole lot of soft match ups. You'd be far better off streaming defenses than sticking with them the whole year!

Oh and don't kick out people for throwing games, that's dumb. It's their team to manage and if they want to set a dipshit lineup that's their perogative. You don't get to decide what somebody's lineup should or should not be; that's the slipperiest of slopes. I once benched my starting QB for Tebow to make a point in my match up that week, and lo and behold my normal QB got murdered in that game and put up like 5 points in the end to Tebow's QB6 finish or whatever it was. Another owner had been looking for me to win that week to his advantage, I forget exactly why, but he tried to get the Commish of that league to "fix my lineup"; the Commissioner wisely declined. Could you imagine the shitshow it would have been if he had cost me ~20 points that week micromanaging my decision? Like the dude above said, throwing Week 1 will cost him in the end, who gives a gently caress if this guy tries to Game Theory his way into the #1 waiver pick. He's going to waste it on this year's Kevin Ogletree anyways. Franks Happy Place fucked around with this message at 06:20 on Sep 5, 2015 |

Trade offer: Blount for Gio Bernard in a standard scoring league. Who wins? My analysis is that Bernard has less value if Hill stays healthy but has more upside since he can carry the load if something happens to Hill. On the other hand, Blount should be better to start the season since the starting job is nominally his and hopefully Belicheck will wait a couple games before employing the hot hand approach. So he's got a better baseline value but comes with a lot of risk.

CompeAnansi posted:Trade offer: Blount for Gio Bernard in a standard scoring league. Who wins? If you compare their relative opportunity/offensive talent ratio, they are pretty close. On the one hand, Gio is probably a safe bet for at least ~50 yards a week, maybe a score of you're lucky. That makes him a decent flex guy who can step into your RB2 in a dire emergency. As you said, if Hill goes down, he's the handcuff too. On the other hand, Blount is probably the main early down RB in New England, which means a lot of touchdowns and a zero percent chance of eight men in the box. So he's a good RB2, with a slight discount for the suspension. But you know what totally separates them? Like, unequivocally for me? gently caress owning a Bill Belichick RB. Also, Blount is old and actually lovely, Gio is hugely more talented. But mostly, if you are volunteering to get on the Patriots RB Carousel of Misery, you are doing fantasy football wrooooong.
