Take me to your Shida

I decided that I'm starting Cole over Evans because gently caress Mike Evans

Same with Cole over Dez Bryant.

So if any of you have either of those guys feel free to cash in on my hubris this weekend as I throw my championships away.

Mike Evans is still on the can’t drop list on ESPN. The last 4 weeks it’s weird seeing that red sign next to someone on my bench.

I lost Greg too and the best option was Dan Bailey

It's a 14 team league. I'm just as stunned as you, Keith. I figure someone must have dropped him and no one caught it.

The Spirit told me to use discernment and a Smith n Wesson at my discretion

Practice heavy self reflection, avoid self deception
If you lost, get re-direction
In the finals with no more FAAB bucks and greg the leg goes on IR


Good thing the rest of the matchup seems pretty lopsided because this would be one hell of a way to lose.

Duke's a top 20 back in the format and has 9 double digit games. If he's healthy, I'm starting him.

This may be a dumb question, but oh well. So I commission a league at the private club I work at - myself and 13 of my members. It's an auction league and I brought up the possibility of making it keeper at the draft and was shot down. Now I've got about 5 of them expressing interest in making our league a keeper league. I'm not opposed to it and everyone has at least 1 person they can keep at a reasonable price so no one will really get the shaft.

Is it a good idea to bring this up to a league vote at our end of the season party? If everyone is okay with it, I want to make it as fair as possible. So I guess I'm really just looking for ideas...

Can’t start it this season imo. no keepers this year, but bring it up before the draft for the next year

You can't decide to make a re-draft league a keeper league mid-season. End of story. Announce before the draft next year that it will be a keeper league, and start then.

I kinda feel like you could do that if everyone was OK with it. I guess the tricky part is sussing out the rules cause the guy keeping Gurley probably wants something different than the guy keeping Robby Anderson.

If you get a unanimous vote, you can make it keeper right now. I think if you get a unanimous vote on anything it's a clear mandate to make a change.

Otherwise, yeah, make it known that after the next draft it's keeper and for the love of God put in some kind of inflationary system for keepers.

Thanks guys. Normally I wouldn't ask this, but I like to keep my members happy.

I'll bring it up and if we get a unanimous vote, I'll implement something along the lines of 2 keepers, 3 year max, with salary escalation each season. And if we don't get a unanimous vote, we'll start next season with the idea of making it keepers.

Yeah, as others have said, you can't make that change mid-season no matter how appealing it seems because it definitely impacts draft strategy. Sometimes being the commish means being a party pooper.


On the flip side, one of my owners lost his poo poo during the draft last year because he neglected to see that the majority of the league had voted on three keepers rather than one. Told him numerous times that he had months to bring this up. Kept whining that it would somehow throw the league.

He made it to the playoffs and the two players who kept three instead of one or two were knocked out early on.

Chicago is the #9 DST on the year, Washington is #20.

Cleveland allows the most fantasy points to DSTs

Washington has averaged 5.5 fantasy points per game since their Bye, including a 0 point game, a -3 point game and 3 games between 3 and 5 points (last 10 weeks).

In that same span, the Bears have averaged 11.3 fantasy points. Remove the 30 and 15 point games from ages ago, and that number is still 7.14. Their worst game in the last 10 weeks was 3 points and they've scored 29 in their last 3.

Nevermind Chicago is going to be cold as balls, possibly snowing and DeShone Kizer can barely throw a football properly in normal weather.

You're overthinking it.

Washington has also been decimated by injuries on both sides of the ball. Avoid.

You're right, to play the Redskins is overthinking. I can't remember a Week 16 with so many great DEF options.

So many great defenses against bad/backup QBs. It's hard to choose.
