Should I hang on to Butker or Elliot as a Kicker from a matchup perspective? I think Butker is good this week, but next week Elliot plays Oakland which has given up the most K points.

I dropped Elliot for Coon in one league and Elliot for Butker in another.

Don’t trust him now without Wentz to move the ball.

Our last place regular season “winner” is deemed shot/drink bitch and has to basically wait on everyone else next draft. If at a house they make, deliver, and clean up all alcoholic drinks.

If done at a bar, they have to either take over for the waitress in terms of delivering and cleaning up after us.

This is what my bar league does

I would keep riding Elliot, Foles should be able to at least get them in FG range with regularity, right?

Dammit you're way better at fantasy than me so now I'm doubting myself hard.

EDIT: The Eagles are playing the Giants, so I'm ok with Elliot this week.

Thanks, it's probably not super important since they're just kickers but the unknown of Foles should be concern enough to sway me to Butker.

We ban the teams out of the playoffs from making moves and if they do it, the commissioner will just flip it back.

Play all the consolation games you want with whatever roster you had, but you aren't affecting the teams in the playoffs playing for $$. Between 3 leagues 7 moves have been flipped back if the rosters can't be locked from add/drops.

You're finished, pork-o-nazi!
I think you have to manually lock teams on Yahoo from making moves even if you have "lock eliminated teams" checked, because it still allows the consolation bracket to make moves. It's annoying.

Yahoo is ugly, poorly designed (though frankly that's a 'feature' of all fantasy leagues) and incredibly slow due to the terrible ads they run.

My computer regularly crashes when I spend a reasonable amount of time on my yahoo leagues. I have no issues anywhere else.

Look at this loser not running an ad blocker.

But for real I think ESPN is the far uglier, worse designed one.

This bugs me out every time I remember it: why are teams in the Yahoo "consolation bracket" allowed to make roster moves that might affect the playoffs? I can't make any money for finishing 5th place in this pub league, so why let me play, I lost.

ESPN leagues here, but my two leagues allow it because there is a "Sacko" trophy and will be punishments (we have to meet to discuss those). But they can't make waiver claims. They have to wait until waivers process or the LM drops the players they attempt to pick up. Haven't had any issues last week or today.

This is my first year using ESPN and it is an awful experience. The app has no redeeming features. The website is garbage too.

I've only used Yahoo and ESPN and neither are very good but I prefer Yahoo.

I think I read that Sleeperbot hosts leagues so I may look into that next year if I run another league next year.

None have their pros, but all have their cons.

It took me 2 seasons of playing on Yahoo after not doing anything since 2006 on it to figure out how to find everything on the app.

My BML is looking to move from ESPN next season and I’m pushing for MFL.

Anyone actually use sleeperbot for a league

If you started with Yahoo, you hate ESPN (because it's wildly different and you're lost trying to do anything). If you started with ESPN, you hate Yahoo (for exactly the same reasons). This is how people always react with obtuse, horrible user interfaces: it's the root of the ancient vi vs. emacs debate, for example.

All fantasy football websites have horrifyingly terrible user interface designs. I'd say that's a huge business opportunity, except I don't think hosting fantasy football leagues is a money-making proposition... even MFL which charges for leagues probably doesn't make much, and oh by the way, it's UI is mind-bogglingly bad, especially when setting up nonstandard leagues (which is the only reason to use MFL in the first place).

I actually started on ESPN and pretty much made every one of my leagues switch to Yahoo after I used it for a work league. I actually prefer ESPN for baseball though.

Yahoo has a better draft interface than ESPN in both sports, though. ESPN's whole interface feels very dated now.

Marvin Jones Jr. showed that Xavier Rhodes is beatable, AJ is a fine play.
