Shop around for doctors! Always fucking shop for doctors. Doctors are stupid assholes. And they get by because people are cowed by their mystical bullshit quality of being able to maintain a 3.0 GPA at some Guatemalan medical college for 3 semesters. Find one that makes sense.

No way in hell did I draft that well.
The Draft Rank tool is pretty bad. It basically takes only the preseason projected points total for a players entire season and then adds them all up. That is not how fantasy football works though and making preseason point totals for possible breakout rookies and high injury risk aging veterans is basically impossible. For example, my lowest projected player is Ronnie Hillman at 88.01 PPR points. That is over 80 points less projected than Joique Bell (169.99), also on my team. Adding those 2 up point wise to my score is a poor indicator of both what is likely to happen and what could happen.

I had home drama and missed it as well. Fortunately I set the top 100 pre-draft rankings and ended up with a decent top 5. Unfortunately, Yahoo handled the rest and I also ended up with two kickers and a bench full of people that will never play. Oh well, TEAM MANAGEMENT TIME.

What's up with the waivers in this league. They seem like the settings are messed up.

I get they are rolling based on standings, but even during the week they never change. If the 12th place team puts in 10 requests and the 11th place guy puts in the same 10 requests the 12th place guy will get all of his waivers approved and the 11th place person would not get any. Usually every successful wavier will make you go to 12th on the waiver list so the last place team can get the first waiver pick, but can't get all the waiver picks for the week.

I am using the exact settings as last year, and there were no complaints of waiver priority; maybe something is broken?

PS, my season is ruined along with Jamaal's ACL. Gurley, do your thang.

Could be no one noticed before. If you look, this week Boom had 2 waiver pickups before Ciroc who also had 2 waiver pickup, then the other guys had one.

loving Jamaal, I had him in almost all of my leagues.

Turns out my former coworker is a huge loving baby.

I adjusted the waiver to take effect after this week to be rolling based off of reverse standings, which should fix the issue we're seeing. I'm gonna just give him his 20 bucks back and eat his fee to keep the pot full, and if he cuts his team I can use commissioner tools to restore ti.

Yes this is a grown rear end man throwing this hissy fit.

I can't kick him without deleting the league and manually rebuilding everyone's team, so i'll just be ready to fix the damage cutting could cause.

I don't think any team is really out of it with smart ww play. There isn't a team in the league that is so dominant no one has a chance. I have good WRs, but tumbleweed at RB (someone trade with me).

If it makes you feel better I think you got a good deal. I really think Allen will put up more points the rest of the season than DeMarco. If I didn't have Matthews I probably wouldn't have done the trade.

He's a grown rear end man, definitely not a fast food worker. We both make bank.

That's why i'm so goddamn shocked by him being such a baby over it. Whatever, i'm gonna just quit replying to his rear end about this if he can't be an adult over 20 goddamn dollars. If he cuts anyone, i'll just readd them to his team.

He took Shady in the second and PFM in the fourth in a 3 WR, full point PPR league. I have no sympathy for someone who throws a fit when their bad draft leads to them having a bad team.
