Yeah it's terrible. I'm in a league with reverse-standings waivers and I lost the first 5 weeks and was 11th or 12th until week 9 or 10 (I'm still not technically eliminated from the playoffs). I didn't give up so now I have DWill, CharWest, Amendola, Rawls, etc. Even though it's worked out to my benefit I agree it's stupid. No one else has had the chance to play waivers.

FAAB is basically the best and other waiver systems are just differing degrees of dumb.

I play with mostly filthy casuals, so they will only agree to the rolling waiver system.

I'll never not like the unlimited immediate add/drop system (aside from players who already played that week e: well you can drop a player who already played the next day, but he/his score still stays in your lineup for that week). It rewards people who actually watch the games and makes the games more exciting to watch in general.

You mean a system with no waivers, just free agents that can be added at any time? I guess if you have absolutely no life and religiously watch every single game while getting updates simultaneously on your phone/computer, then it would be nice. Some people have to work/ have a family / can't spend 10 hours straight watching football though. RCarr fucked around with this message at 17:59 on Dec 3, 2015 |

RCarr posted:You mean a system with no waivers, just free agents that can be added at any time? Yes, basically. I mean I'm going to be watching at least the 1pm games anyway, it's not that much added effort to have your phone on you in case one of your guys dies. In my league(s) usually you'll be fine even if you wait until Monday morning though so it's not like I have to have 8 TVs going simultaneously watching for injuries. e: I should add that I do have the distinct advantage that "Monday morning" for me is just a couple hours after SNF ends for people on the east coast. e2: vv honestly it hardly ever matters. The only times I've directly benefited from it was being able to get Deangelo and Charmander before anyone else. Every other "grab phone instantly" add that I made this year during games has been a dud. yeah I eat ass fucked around with this message at 18:02 on Dec 3, 2015 |

I mean, whatever works for you, but I prefer a system that isn't a race to see who can grab their phone or computer fastest once an injury happens. Punishing someone for going to the bathroom, or doing ANYTHING other than watching football seems pretty ridiculous. There's no way an important player would last till Monday morning in most leagues if there's no waiver system. Murphy Brownback posted:honestly it hardly ever matters.

RCarr posted:You realize these are like the two best waiver adds of the season and tremendously impact the entire league right? Of course, but my point was in most weeks a top 5 RB isn't going down. Obviously there was a mad rush to get those two guys - I picked Deangelo up about 2 minutes after I saw Bell go down and within a few minutes I got some angry facebook messages. But I did say "usually" - in most cases the things are speculative adds, not no-brainers. Those are the ones where most people won't read in the news until Monday "this guy might be a good pickup" like, just to pull an example out my rear end, Christine Michael, so then you will be fine if you wait until after the sunday games are over at least. Anyway it's just the system I like, for obvious reasons - it's worked out great for me so far. Doesn't mean everyone has to like it. when I said it "hardly ever matters" I was just talking in terms of numbers - out of the ~75 moves I've made so far this season, only those two (and Ware last week anyway) are noteworthy - the rest were either bad adds or just minor improvements. To be totally honest, I wouldn't like FAAB or waivers because it requires thinking and using strategy, rather than just scooping up everything I can and hoping something sticks. yeah I eat ass fucked around with this message at 18:41 on Dec 3, 2015 |

No-waivers is awful and every season I hope that the guy who likes it that way doesn't win (because the winner is the commish/sets the rules next year). But yeah I agree with "whatever works for you" stuff, like if nobody has a family or works weekends or whatever etc

No waivers is awful. Resetting waivers by standings is next awful. Rolling waivers are ok. If you decide not to make any moves one week, you are at least rewarded with a higher priority, so there's some strategy involved. FAAB is undoubtedly the best, though.

My only no waiver league is both family/casual and money, so only me and one other guy are really on top of things about adding players immediately and are always racing to see who grabs the hot pick up first. We do limit it to 4 adds per week, which helps a ton. It's still dumb, but given the dumb bullshit nature of fantasy, there are other teams within like 1 or 2 games of us at 1st and 2nd in the standings. Having waivers of any sort is much much better.

I think Langford is getting mixed in and seeing the goal line carries, so I'd lean towards him, but that could just be redzone bias since I try to avoid Bears games.

I guess it's officially announced now that West and Ware will be a committee this week. I understand the logic, but they really should think of the fantasy football players before making these kind of decisions. Now I have to actually consider (but I probably won't actually do it) pulling Hill off my bench.

Do you have West or Ware? If you have Ware do it, the Browns have shitass run D and Hill is their more traditional RB.

I also have both West and Ware, in a league with 1ppr and we start 1 rb, but two flex (rb/wr/te) spots. I'm starting Rawls at rb for sure, so in my two flex spots plus two wr spots I'm starting some combination of: ODBJ Jarvis Landry West Ware Sammy Watkins Latavius Murray Anquan Boldin JeremyLangford Michael Floyd Benjamin Watson Odbj is the only no-brainer, I'm really vaccilating on the other three. Probably sitting Watson and Floyd. Langford seems risky with Forte back. Boldin is a 49er.Murray has a decent floor but is up against the chiefs. Watkins has been wildly inconsistant,he put up big numbers on my bench and horrible numbers starting so I hate him. Landry is a solid starter. And, West/Ware are the other two. I could get cute and start both, but that caps their combined total... ...and my normally crap oppone t this week started Richard rodgers so he's already got 28 points. Tough decisions.

I'm mad at Detroit something awful because I'm playing for the bye this week, against the other guy who is playing for it, and NATURALLY he has Aaron Rodgers as his quarterback. First three quarters, I'm stoked, and then...that happens.

Injuries hit randomly (unless it's Foster or Ellington) so you just have to draft with depth in mind in case the unfortunate occurs. Lacy and Anderson are the huge busts out of the Round 1. Peterson is right about where everyone thought he'd be. He's not a standout RB1 like 2013 J. Charles but he just wins it by default due to injuries to Bell, Charles, and Lynch.
