Matt Ryan has more points than my qbs usually get all game. Its not quite halftime.

Trade me one of them. Both your qbs gonna be above average at the least for the next 5 years.

It's a tough thing for me to do. I think both Ryan and Dalton have extra value in dynasty. I could see a trade involving Freeman, maybe, but then I'd need to find another promising dynasty QB to sock away... and I'd presumably have to drop players, too.

Forsett and Freeman are literally the only players on your team I unreservedly like right now. Even Emmanual Sanders' value is in question given Peyton's struggles. And I'm too close to my salary cap to comfortably take Forsett at the $21 salary you're paying him.

So basically... I agree you need a QB but you're probably better off trading with someone else.

Well, keep in mind: the three division winners will advance to the playoffs, but there's also a wildcard match that will be between the two non-divisional-winner teams with the best record... with Points For as the tiebreaker. If we were to go to the playoffs right now, the two wildcard teams would be the Gridiron Chefs and Team McLean.

We are now entering Week 7, the halfway point of our regular season! This is a divisional match week: everyone is playing against another team in their division.

Can the 1-5 Placeholder Team Name upset the 5-1 1017 BRICK SQUAD? Will the 2-4 Awesome Cougars upset the 4-2 Former Kicker Ray Finkle?

Nobody has been eliminated from playoff contention just yet. And if you're feeling way behind, don't despair: even if you get eliminated from the playoffs, you can still conceivably win the consolation tournament, which brings a cash prize. And the bottom four teams going into the playoffs get the top four picks in next year's draft!

Get your waivers in, kids. There's still a lot of football left.

Dez moved out of the ir :getin:

Got it.

There was an error on your tab of the spreadsheet: I had Dez listed twice, both on and not on your IR slot. This means your salary cap space was actually $37 more than shown.

I hope that didn't affect any of your decisions. And that serves as a reminder for everyone: please double-check your spreadsheet tabs periodically for any errors. The most likely error would be a player you dropped still being on there, or a player you picked up not being on there.

Obviously nobody will be penalized for making a decision based on an error I made, but accuracy is best and I'd hate for an error I made to lead to someone (for example) bidding less in a FAAB than they wanted to because they thought they were closer to their cap than they really were.

So far this year the lessons I have learned on how to be good are:
  • Try not to let your good players get injured
  • Try not to have your good weeks happen when you're playing a team having an even better week
  • Try to have your bad weeks line up with an opponent who has an even worse week

I hope that helps you guys out.


e. Here's the CHART OF INJUSTICE
pre:
TEAM				PF	PA	W-L-T	HOME	AWAY	DIV	STREAK
Team McLean			941.3	872.3	3-3-0	1-2-0	2-1-0	0-2-0	W2

Placeholder Team Name		711.5	820.7	1-5-0	0-3-0	1-2-0	1-1-0	L2
This is sorted in order by Points For; e.g., it's how the standings ought to be, if there were justice in Fantasy Football. Going by this chart we can see that 1017 BRICK SQUAD is a perfectly average team that has benefited by matchup luck, going 5-1 despite six teams having scored more points in the season so far but having worse records. We can also see that Team McLean has had some really raw luck, going 3-3 despite outscoring the next-highest team by 44 points. Only Ash Ketchum has had more points scored against them. Who Da Titoons are riding on an extremely poor showing by their opponents so far: they've had by far the fewest points scored against them, which accounts for their division-leading 4-2 record despite a fairly middle-of-the-pack season performance of 846.9pts scored. And last, Hawk Hunters have somehow managed a 3-3 performance despite scoring the same points for as the 1-5 Placeholders.

It does seem like IDP guys are routinely scoring 15+ each. I wanted them to be important, but they're more important than your offensive FLEX dude. Obviously nothing to do now, but during the offseason we can revisit the scoring setup if you guys like.

We'd have to be careful not to devalue potential keepers, though. Messing with the scoring in dynasty is tricky.

Looks like I overpaid for every one of the players I just FAABed. In fact only Hankerson had any competition in the auction this morning, so everyone who paid over a dollar for a guy overpaid. I suppose at least that shows we all assume someone else might want our guy, which is good?

When considering scoring, we don't have to be constrained to half-point increments, btw. I definitely don't think IDP scoring is outright broken right now, it's just something that will be worth revisiting from time to time as we get settled into this league longer-term, since there's no firm standard scoring scheme and we kind of just napkin-math/eyeballed it to get started.

Compared to last time, there's been a little shuffling... First Down Syndrome popped up the chart three places, while Ash Ketchum popped up one. We can see that Who Da Titoons continue to have the best record at 7-1, despite four teams scoring more total points on the season. 1017 BRICK SQUAD is also 5-3 despite being outscored by five more teams.

And Team McLean probably gets the "ain't no justice in the world" prize, if we gave it out today: despite leading the league in scoring, he's got an overall losing record at 3-5, sitting tied at last in his division, three games behind Former Kicker Ray Finkle. This is probably because he has the highest points scored against him in the league. And the Titoons, of course, have the least by a wide margin, explaining why this middle-tier team is dominating the win/loss count right now.

There's still five games left in our regular season, counting this week! Nobody's mathematically eliminated from winning their divisions yet, and more importantly, everyone still has a shot at a wildcard spot as well.
