Leperflesh posted:It's gonna be like 20+ years before David Johnson is too expensive to keep, right? I think we need to ride out at least one more year before changing it. It's all going to start adding up in a year or two. Having high paid players and getting rookies every year is going to force people to make some tough choices. Even if we did raise it to 20% whoever has David Johnson isn't dropping him. He got a really good grab, but we can't go and change everything based on an individual player (regardless of who it is). Most people seem to be around the $200 mark and once you include the 10% and next years rookies things get tight right there. The following year people are definitely going to have to start dropping either star players or a bunch of average guys.

Yeah I didn't mean to just pick on that one guy, it's just the one player that immediately came to mind. You can see other ones in the league as well. Derek Carr is $4, Big Ben is $8, Jay Ajayi is $4, Matt Ryan is $1, Bernardrick McKinny is $1, Kwon Alexander is $2, and there's more that will emerge. Maybe Tyreek Hill, who is $1. Probably one or two of the cheaper rookies being held right now. It'd be bad to punish people for cleverly getting good players at a discount, that's a major portion of the skill of fantasy football. Just trying to think ahead. e. Jesus, Landon Collins is $2, and he has 224.5 points on the season. That puts him at #13 overall, and a similar bargain to Kirk Cousins, who is 9th overall in points for a $2 salary. Matt Ryan is still the best deal in our league, arguably, although Johnson is much younger so his low salary may last longer, and arguably he's less likely to regress next year than Ryan.

I had Matt Ryan last year and could have kept him for $10. I needed cap space, but I kept Jeremy Maclin for $17 and look how that decision turned out. Instead I wound up trading Randall Cobb for Eli Manning just so I'd have a QB I could sometimes start instead of Andy Dalton, and look how that decision turned out. I might as well have flipped a drat coin. Basically what I'm saying is, I made really bad decisions. e. Actually the one really good decision I've made all year, I think, was keeping Jalen Richard. Watching him run last night, he's just plain better than Latavius Murray, and the kid has a big future unless he gets hurt.

This might be a terrible idea. For players drafted as rookies we could have a salary scale that can increase based on performance. We'd need to set thresholds and what to jump their salary to, but it's something that could be used to keep "life long star players". It's basically how contracts work in real sports, if a young player does really well their next contract is going to be significantly more expensive than the rookie one was.

Yeah, typically very early draft picks in real life get a decent rookie contract that might last I think three years, typically? And then their owning teams will try to re-sign them, often before that contract runs out, if they turned out great. Tons of guys of course wash out and never make it past training camp, or their first year. If we wanted to we could set up contract lengths. MFL explicitly supports it. Salary can be set (including with an escalating number) but then when the contract runs out, you have to drop the player and "renegotiate" (represented by FAAB). Alternatively, you could have the currently-owning team get first crack at a renegotiated salary... say, by automatically having a new contract to re-sign a rookie be at least $X, where X is some substantial but not bank-breaking number. Like I said earlier, you can really go down a rabbit hole with this stuff. It's more realistic, and forces owners to pick between their star players rather than effectively getting to keep all of them, but it also adds layers of complexity that don't necessarily appeal to everyone.

I mean, that's exactly my point, if you have a guy who is Q all week, it's on you to at least roster a startable backup. I did that all season and it cost me roster slots I could have used to keep long-term flyers. I realize other owners have had to deal with more injuries than me, but I certainly had plenty of injured Q players to cope with.

I am pretty good at picking the wrong WRs every week. "Davante Adams and anyone" and then the bench guys all put up 15. "Davante Adams and the other guys" and the bench guys put up 15.

I've just set the consolation bracket. Since the Hawk Hunters are the lowest-seeded team that won in week 15, that's the team I'm playing this week. Meanwhile, congrats to Team McLean for advancing to the semifinals! There are now four eliminated teams: the Second Round Kickers, I'm Pretty Garbage At This, Who Da Titoons, and First Down Syndrome. Do you guys want me to set up matches for your teams? They'd be meaningless - the points scored don't count towards anything, including next year's draft, tiebreakers, etc., but it'd give you something to do.

If you have the cap space and don't intend to hold the guy through to next year, it makes sense to bid a big pile of whatever FAAB cash you have left for any player that is startable. Especially if you're in single-elimination playoffs, playing for a significant real-money payout.

Just a reminder, there's a game tonight! Set your rosters. Also, check your IRs. Hawk Hunters and Titoons both have activated guys on IR! Of course the Titoons are on bye, but the Hunters need to get Adrian Peterson off the IR slot.

damnit why didn't I start Derrick Henry? He's such a loving beast. I wish I could've guessed the Titans would be using him this much today but even as a Titans fan I wouldn't have predicted it. at least I got him for next year. I think he's better than Zeke.

OK so I actively chose to play SSS over Hightower at a loss of about 7 pts - don't regret it a second. Starting Justin Houston when all reports I saw gave him a go-ahead for today and then he goes and tosses up a goose egg because of I guess not playing? When I had Zach Brown there to fill in without issue and he tosses up 18+? gently caress meeeeeeeee.

Yeah I had to make a tough decision about Sean Lee today. He was listed as Questionable and unknown if he would start, and since he was playing in the night game, I couldn't wait to see if maybe he'd start or not, I had to swap him out. So I got 6.75 from TJ Ward instead of 14.75 from Sean Lee. Those eight points might come back to haunt me: I'm down 24 points with just Greg Olsen left, and he could potentially have a 16+ point game, maybe. I also dropped Brandon Graham for Everson Griffen, which looks like it cost me 8 points because sure, Griffen, why not regress horribly against the Colts? If Olsen puts up 8+ tomorrow night, then I sank my shot at the consolation championship entirely due to avoidable bad decisions.  welp

http://www64.myfantasyleague.com/2016/view_news_article?L=79286&ID=345146RotoWirequote:(RotoWire) Lee (knee) is questionable for Sunday's tilt with the Buccaneers. Basically, the Cowboys decided to be coy with Lee's injury status. What can you do? I was risking a zero if he didn't play, and there was no more information than what you see right there. My only option was to have rostered another LB that was playing Sunday night or Monday, but I was hoping we'd get an update on Lee's status on Saturday. I didn't see a practice report, though.

But drat did Lee look good. I wonder if part of this unkown is because of the injury report changes, or because the media don't follow the defensive players as much because they're typically not associated with fantasy football.

It's the latter. I'm subscribed to a couple of twitter accounts and watch Rotoworld, but you often just don't get anyone bothering to mention which of the Questionable defense players are practicing at each practice, and how they look. A lot of times, coaches or players get interviewed about their status, too... but the media doesn't bother with defensive players. It's just a risk. It makes it more advantageous to roster multiple IDP guys for each roster slot, which is a cost to owners. Sean Lee is fantastic but he's also often injured, so I have to take that into account when I decide to own him.
