Got knocked out by a 6-7 team with 300 less points on the season than me in one league. 8 team playoffs are wack as gently caress. My other league I'm somehow only down by 5.2 with my Sebass Janikicker vs opp's Kyle Rudolph, but I don't expect a comeback.

After dropping Cooper in week 5 he's now put two 40+ point games against me.

Can't imagine how I would handle anything more than what I am currently at and will probably drop down to only a couple next year.

I'm currently in 3 weeks and I feel like it's one too many. Assuming both goon leagues I'm in are still active next year I'll just stick with those and drop the last one which I don't care about. It's kind of nice to have a second team so you can "well at least" at yourself when one of them has a bad week.

The big issues I ended up having were 1) I just didn't have enough time between 11am and the 12pm kickoff to review every single team to make sure everyone was playing 2) As kind of the other extreme on Quiet's comment, with that many teams I just didn't care about any of them since it was pretty much assured that one team's success would come at the expense of a blowout loss on another 3) It complete removed any real interest in paying attention to how games or players were going since there were just too goddamned many to care about If I didn't vaguely enjoy football it wouldn't be an issue. I used to be in a ton of fantasy baseball too (and I actively dislike baseball) and that was fine since it was just a pile of stats to scan over. But in football that many teams also killed my interest in the sport in general just due to massive burnout

Well to be fair the majority of them are dynasty leagues with 12+ teams so there isn’t a ton of having to waiver wire hunt or pick a guy up to cover a bye week. Those rosters are built and tweaked year round so it’s minor adjustments when season is actually happening. I’ve done 5+ redraft leagues before and that’s crazy, killed all my time, and sucked all the fun out of the actual season for me. Next year I’ll do 3 redraft leagues (my 11 year old league, goon beer league, and my father-in-law league), and then 4 dynasty leagues where I basically have those rosters memorized and spend more time during the off-season than the actual season.

Azhais posted:The big issues I ended up having were I'm in a bunch of leagues, almost all dynasty, and have found that helps for all three of your points. I've got my sets of players I like better than some vague consensus value, and other players I like less than consensus. So most of my teams have at least a handful of players in common. E.g., I root for Keenan Allen and Stefon Diggs and against Antonio Brown and McCaffrey basically everywhere. Doing dynasty also means the teams are more meaningful to me, they're ones I drafted a few years ago, made big trades, built up through rookie drafts, not just a team that I drafted 3 months ago and will completely disappear in another week. It does take a bit to set lineups, but for me that usually means checking in Wednesday (at work  ) and setting lineups for the week based on matchups, removing anyone already declared out, that kinda thing. Then briefly check NFL.com/inactives before Thursday game and for longer before Sunday kickoffs, note anyone ruled out that I probably roster somewhere, and do a last check of lineups.

weird Asian candy posted:9 leagues? Good lord. I'm in 5 and I can barely manage! Isn't there someone here who is in 11? Actually in ten leagues. I just won't know if I made the playoffs until tonight. I probably could've worded that better. weird Asian candy posted:Doesn't it take the fun out of it for you or no?

Can't imagine how I would handle anything more than what I am currently at and will probably drop down to only a couple next year. It doesn't bother me, because I'm in a bunch of different leagues. I also don't see much of a difference in multiple redraft leagues. My leagues break down as Tier one 1) BML dynasty auction - My most important league because it has the worst players and biggest prize pool. Only once missed out on money. 2) $60 friend redraft league - Just joined this because a co-worker needed a sub and he knows I write about it. Seemed like a good chance at easy money. 3) $30 work league - Casual league. A lot of people who love fantasy people and a good majority are bad at it. Once again, seemed like easy money. 4) Goon Blountes and Fortes dynasty - $25 buy in. Been rebuilding this team for years and if Cousins sucks tonight, I'll make my first playoff. These all have payouts, so they get my focus. Tier 2 5) Goon Fish Bowl - fun concept league. No trades and waiver wire is so bare as to be non-existent. Pretty easy to manage, although judging by the slack-assery of some of you, maybe I'm wrong.  6) Goon All-IDP league - 12 teams, 11 starting spots. If you like IDP, this is fun. Just got bumped because I made every wrong decision a man can make, despite having one of the best rosters! 7) FA Experts league - 2 QB auction league. Toughest competition. My only playoff whiff. These don't have money, but they are fun, competitive and have unique concepts to keep me engaged Tier 3 - Comedian Friends league- 14 man league with insane settings. Don't really care. Only in it because friends are in it. Almost everyone is terrible. I do it to let them know how bad they are. College friends league - normal settings, same stupidity as above. Same reasoning. Also only time I get to talk to some of them. Yahoo public league - I just do this for easy access to Yahoo fantasy match up ratings. So it's not quite as bad as it would seem. Most of my redraft rosters tend to look the same, because I don't avoid players I drafted in other leagues. If I think someone is gonna be great, I don't worry about owning too many shares. This makes my middle rounds mostly identical.

I, for one, would like to see Thielen get -10 just so the #1 seed in my league loses to the lowest seed. Also I can't imagine managing more than 3 leagues competently. I work too much. I am looking for a BML next year though I think.

It's not that difficult unless the leagues use different scoring settings or wildly different rosters. You already know what players you like whether you're in 3 leagues or 15, so drafting and waiver wire is all the same there's just more of it.

Do the Waiver Wire Test. When you're running waivers on Tuesday, pinpoint the moment it becomes a chore, then do one fewer than that many leagues the next year.

Got owned by lesser teams in the playoffs per usual. I'm sure I'll put up 170 points in the consolation the next two weeks as usual. Eagles lost. Football over for the year for me outside of dynasty stuff. Pack it up. Weird year.

Allright, well, I officially would have won if not for Goff's tremendous fuckup. I could have started Dak Prescott and won. Goff was solidly DSYS. He was a stud, and so I did not sit him. The Chicago defense was merely studlier. There is no shame in this death.

My only path to playoff victory was to have started Alshon over Justin Jackson and Seahawks D (vs Min) over Steelers D (vs Oak). The Alshon/Justin Jackson thing felt like a real toss up to me and I ended up going with the hot hand since the Eagles have been so miserable lately. And there is no world where Seahawks over Steelers was the correct choice. So yep, fantasy football sucks. My opponent would've had more right to grouse had he lost, he didn't start Derrick Henry who was his clear best flex option.

On the left and definitely gonna get my rear end handed to me in this semifinal. I'm squaring up against the #1 seed who went 12-1 this season. I have no particularly good options for RB2 anymore and it hurts a little.

I’m in the finals (short season) but now my RB is fuuuucked. My current RBs are Ingram, Ekeler, and Crowell. Both Ekeler and Crowell are listed as questionable with a good chance of not playing since they play Thursday and Saturday and won’t have the full week to rest. My opponent is probably the most informed guy in the league and is well aware of where I’m hurting AND he’s ahead of me on the Waiver so my first RB pickup (probably Henry???) is going to get sniped. Meaning I have to go for.... Nyheim Hines or Latavius Murray. On the plus side I picked the Browns defense last week and they will certainly kick rear end against the Broncos!!!

I am also considering dropping Brate for Ian Thomas but Brate is a TD machine. The problem is, he is solely reliant on TDs so if he doesn't score he will probably get me all of like 1.7 points for the week. Decisions decisions.

Question of my own. Would you rather have Brate or Ian Thomas? TE is really my only question mark right now. While Brate has been scoring, with next to no receptions and yards if he does not score he makes me nervous. Thomas against the Saints, in what should be a high scoring affair makes me feel a bit more comfortable but he has only been doing it for two weeks. Thoughts?

I have had penciled as a great dynasty stash for TE and hes starting to emerge now that Cams having shoulder issues (him and Curtis Samuel). Baltimore's secondary is pretty tough, but I'm not sure if they do well against TEs so I could see a case for Brate though. I'd say Ian has the floor, Brate has the ceiling... maybe.
