You're telling me, i'm against the 1st place team this week and i'm the 3rd place team with a first round bye on the line for me, this is how it ended...



...me losing by double my points.

Even with me starting players who are probably all top 10 at their positions. Fantasy is a fickle little bitch
This reminds me of something, is there a way to get Yahoo to display positional rankings like ESPN does? Both have their own pros and cons but that's one thing that strikes me a huge minus for Yahoo.

edit: Just fyi VietCampo, Demaryius is 11 and Rawls is 35 (including a few IR RBs) and Dez is 76 (counting the absence), so yeah the rest of your guys are top 10

Ask me about how my football team's success determines my self worth, and how I wish I lived in New Orleans.
I'm so ready for this season to be over. As a Falcons fan, as a fantasy football player, I'm just ready. My underachieving sacks of poo poo really poo poo the bed on me this week which most likely means I will miss the playoffs in my big money league by one game yet again.

Thank you Cam, DMC, Demarco, Chiefs DST, Julio and Yeldon for doing the bare minimum to show up on the stats sheet. :smithicide:

What do you mean by positional rankings? You mean like this?



Because that's a super basic filter to run. They look inaccurate I know but I'm pretty sure that the "actual" just doesn't get updated until all the games have been played.

e: side note - Gurley being on the can't cut list but not Ingram is amusing to me.

Yeah I know you can do that by going to the player list and selecting all players and sorting by position. There's just no way to look at your roster and see where each player is ranked like ESPN does (the rankings for your roster show overall rankings not positional).EDIT: Actually I'm not sure even those in the screenshot are sorted by RBs only, looks more like overall.

It's not a huge deal but it's definitely annoying if you want to do what VietCampo was trying to do and see at a glance where your own roster stacks up.

Next season i'm just gonna do some voodoo or something and wish that i have the least points scored against.

But with my luck, i'll probably end up playing the highest scorer each week.

Need advice on lolTE's since Jimmy Graham is done.

Coby Fleener, Crockett Gilmore, Eric Ebron, Jordan Cameron, Vance Mcdonald, Kyle Rudolph, Jared Cook, ASJ, and Luke Willson.


Who should i be grabbing for rest of season? I'm currently thinking i stream Vance Mcdonald until Celek comes back and then roll with Gilmore if Schaub does check down to him a lot?

That's a nice set of 11 dynasty points there, it would be a shame if 3 rings were to happen with it
Wait until waivers run but go get Shaun Draughn if he's not owned in your PPR league.

He's missed 5 snaps the last 2 games, has 17 catches in three games since joining SF and is massively underowned because he hasn't scored and hasn't racked up big yardage totals. He's just been a PPR machine since taking over. They'll probably throw Hyde on the IR soon, which means it's the Shaun Draughn Show in Santa Clara.

Totally overlooked this, good find. Would you drop Spencer Ware for him if you had Charmander?

I own Charcandrick and Ware and I was obviously happy with Ware yesterday, but in the long run it might be a negative since Charcandrick might be in a timeshare when he returns since Ware had looked so good.

I would keep Ware & West over Draughn. They have higher ceilings if one or the other is out, but Draughn is just flat producing in PPR right now. I'm not even really recommending burning a lot of FAAB or a high waiver priority on him, but he could be a useful/free piece down the stretch.

Was able to get him in ever league but one. Not even through waivers and this guy is a STARTING RB. So underowned it's ridiculous

Either, with David Johnson being the priority. David Johnson is a Rawls/Deangelo Williams/Charcandrick type of add that can win you your league.

I'm the the 6th highest scorer, started the season 1-5 and battled back. If I win and the #6 seed loses next week, I'm going to sneak in at 6-7. In all likelihood, I'm going to get knocked out by said team because he beat me week 8 when Drew Brees dropped 51 points on me for about 45% of his total score.

9-2 here. Clinched a playoff spot a couple weeks ago. Now the only problem as I face the other 9-2 team next week is if I want to fight for top seed or tank for second. the teams projecting to finish seeds 3 and 4 are in a slump and the potential 5, 6 seeds are heating up.

The fantasy playoffs happen during the regular NFL season. And if your league is extra bad, the championship is Week 17.

You play to win the game. Don't tempt fate by trying to face the weaker opponent in the playoffs because that's the week they go off and the strong opponent puts up a wet fart.

Yeah but fantasy's all about playing the percentages, you can get your process right and your results wrong with basically anything. If there's a strong team and someone who's been lucky, whatever, go for it.

If you're being a kingmaker and giving someone a free game so they make the playoffs then sure, it's a dick move.
