He's already drawing targets and if one of them goes down that number only goes up. Cohen: dear god why would you even consider dropping him? Riddick: expendable but you're looking at sidegrades at best. Cole: Perfectly fine. Marshall: side to downgrade for what you have. For the love of god don't. Yeldon: maybe a sidegrade from Riddick Lindsay: see above Kittle: yeah sure if you insist on burning a waiver.

The Ekeler, Lindsey, Yeldon situation is a big one. This thread has been going tough on it. I'm in yahoo 0.5 ppr, and FAAB as well. I think I want to gamble $27 for lindsay and Yeldon, as well as $16 for WR Dorset on the pats. Roster thoughts?  e: maybe grab ekeler? If I can get enough starting rbs I might be able to swing a trade for a decent wr. Dorset could be a good gamble, and there's geronimo from GB. Dede from jacksonville is also a sneak possibility but I am always skeptical of drafting jaguars wideouts. Do I prioritize rbs or wrs for my FAAB pickups? Get rbs to trade for wrs?

Do I drop Duke Johnson or Tarik Cohen for Chris Thompson? Lindsey is also available. Starting Melvin Gordon, Derrick Henry and Devonta Freeman. This league I'm in overvalues running backs to a ridiculous degree (1 pt per rush, 1 pt per 5 rushing yards).

Fun fact: Yeldon led the Jags this week in carries, red zone carries, targets, red zone targets, and total yards, despite only playing 62% of snaps. Things I will still go to the mat for every single year: 1) Kenny Stills is a deep-ball ninja, 2) TJ Yeldon is a good 3-down back in a bad opportunity.

Ugh. Sometimes I hate being a commissioner, especially on ESPN. In the off-season I had to mess with waiver orders to accommodate some folks on vacation, and I set the order to non-resetting. Our league has never been that way during the regular season. Last night I saw that I had screwed up and changed waiver priority back (and fixed the order) and posted a notification. Queue this morning and the guy who pays attention to the league more than anyone else complains and asks for things to be reset. Apparently even though our league has never used non-resetting waiver, and such a change absolutely would have been voted on, he didn't say anything and based his strategy on the change. This league is seven years old. I can't fix anything and feel bad, but it pisses me off that ESPN sucks so much and it pisses me off even more that he noticed the change and said nothing.

I'd be pissed if someone changed the rules mid-season too. Everyone can look at all the settings before the draft, before week 1, etc. You're blaming a guy for basing his strategy around a rule you set.  Also, you normally use waivers that reset every week? Shame on you.

If your league was one way for years and then without any kind of notification you saw that things were different you wouldn't say anything? The waiver order is not my choice. I would have gone to non-resetting waivers or FAAB years ago but most people vote against it.

If your league was one way for years and then without any kind of notification you saw that things were different you wouldn't say anything? If it was a weird setting that most leagues don't use, and it was changed to the proper one, no I wouldn't. I played in a terrible league where the commish was new to fantasy football for a few years. The first few years we had 6 of 10 teams make the playoffs, which is incredibly stupid. One year he started the league up and I checked through the settings (ALWAYS DO THIS, NO MATTER WHAT), and saw that this year, 4 teams made the playoffs. I thought to myself, "Finally this guy realizes that the way he had been running the league was terrible." Me and a few other people noticed it, and spoke between ourselves about how it's good the commish finally came to his senses, and the league was better off for it. Queue week 8 when he changes the settings back to 6 teams making the playoffs, because he didn't notice the setting had changed until then. Also he was in 6th place at the time.  A bunch of people quit the league and it's dead now (thank god).

It's not a weird setting. It's the ESPN default, or at least it was the default years ago. And this is a league where we vote on changes every year. The guy even admitted that he assumed waivers reset until he checked the settings the night before. I hosed up and should have caught it earlier.

It's definitely a weird setting. It's the worst possible way of doing waivers, I guess aside from no waivers at all, first come first serve free agency. Out of the countless leagues I've played in over the last 10+ years, only that one terrible league I mentioned used it. Any setting that actively punishes owners for drafting well or having a good team is bad and weird.

Grabbed Lindsay off waivers and was offered Bilal Powell for him. Really not sure what to do there. 0 PPR. Leaning towards holding onto Lindsay because I think Crowell is going to dominate the Jets backfield, but Powell might be more likely to take the job outright than Lindsay is.

Sataere posted:That is a rough trade for you. I'm not sure it helps you win now if you are losing Julio after also losing Baldwin. I feel like I'm losing something in translation. I went from having 5 starters in a win now team - Bell, Baldwin, Duke Johnson, Dion Lewis, Julio to 3 starters with not much depth since I sacrificed that to get higher stud pieces - Duke, Dion Lewis, Julio. I don't think Bell comes back until week 10 and will be in a weird situation splitting time with Conner or getting beat into the ground. Making that move now gives me 4 starters again - DJ, Lockett (who should get a nice boost with Baldwin out), Lewis, Duke, & ASJ/Godwin/R. Grant/etc. Last year Julio scored 273 points in this format, in 2016 DJ scored 540 points in this format (I don't predict him to score that high this year though... more in 450+ range), Lockett scored 215 points (so I'm thinking that will bump up to 250ish with Baldwin out). Basically I'm gaining 450 + 235 (middle guess for Lockett) to replace the 280 from Julio I'm losing and whatever change Bell brings in after it's too late.

I believe it's meant for casual leagues, with the idea being that bad teams still have a chance to compete against good teams. In reality the bad teams don't play the waiver wire anyway. It took our league multiple votes to get rid of kickers. There's a portion of the group that's actively opposed to doing stuff that helps the folks who care about fantasy. It's a fun league and I love it.

I feel like you are letting your personal feelings towards this league setting distract you from the fact that Beer specifically said all rule changes are voted on. He's absolutely right to change things back and the guy who kept his mouth shut knew better, but was trying to gain a competitive advantage. It's fine to change things to the way they are supposed to be in situations like this.

Mid-season rule changes always look shady no matter what. Every league is different so if it's all family and close friends, then maybe it wouldn't be a problem. I feel like in a competitive league it would cause issues though.

RCarr posted:Should have said during the season, my bad. To be clear: any rule changes after money has been collected are bad and should come with the opportunity for a refund. However, if there are default rules that everyone knows and the setup is wrong, that's a different conversation, because enforcing the existing rules (by fixing an error in setup) is not the same as changing a rule.

Since I have Kittle I just dropped Eifert for the Bears, even though I already have Denver. The schedules seem to synergize well. Denver: OAK, BAL, KC, NYJ, LAR, ARI, KC, HOU, BYE, LAC, PIT, CIN, SF, CLE, OAK Chicago: SEA, ARI, TB, BYE, MIA, NE, NYJ, BUF, DET, MIN, DET, NYG, LAR, GB, SF So combining them: Week 2: Denver (OAK) Week 3: Chicago (ARI) Week 4: Chicago (TB) Week 5: Denver (NYJ) Week 6: Chicago (MIA) Week 7: Denver (ARI) Week 8: Chicago (NYJ) Week 9: Chicago (BUF) Week 10: Chicago (DET) Week 11: Denver (LAC) Week 12: Chicago (DET) Week 13: Chicago (NYG) Week 14: Denver (SF) Week 15: Denver (CLE) Week 16: Denver (OAK) Week 11 is the worst and obviously projecting to the end of the season is a bad idea, but at least for the start of the season having two really solid defenses with good schedules should be useful.

Need some advice regarding my team. I feel I have a very strong team with my obvious weak spot being TE. Bench in brackets. QB - Cousins, (Mahomes) RB - AjayI, Howard, Conner, (Ekeler), (Mack) WR - A.Brown, Hilton, (C.Davis), (A.Robinson) TE - Eifert I would like to upgrade Eifert and possibly have a more permanent RB solution since Conner won't start for the whole season (or will he?) Also, I hate carrying two QBs and dont know which one to move forward with. I dont see myself ever starting Ekeler and both Davis and Robinson should be good to fill in the flex or for bye weeks. Should i stand pat and ride it out or try upgrading?
