We also need to decide on a payout structure. The leaguesafe is set to majority vote this year, not commissioner control. I'd like to get a little creative this year to make things fun. If we did 16 weeks:

$5 each for the highest score of the week in the regular season: $65
Some payout to highest scorer in the regular season
$50 to the winner of the consolation bracket. I read a good idea about it being a non-elimination 2-4 week (depending on playoff length) points derby
$70 to 3rd place
$100 to 2nd place
$300 to 1st place

all of this is good stuff

I like these ideas. Keeps things competitive and I'm more into the fun of it than the payout.

:same:

I'd even enjoy random $0.73 payouts and whatnot for all kinds of odd stats, like the most points from field goals between 30-39 yards, though I imagine stff like that might turn into a headache for Miller Time

Yes, I was unclear. The 4 team 2 week play off would take 4 weeks, which means ending the regular season at week 12, and I'd rather do the 13 game regular season with 6 team 1 week playoffs starting in week 14, with the championship week 16. Seems like the best format, 12 teams with 12 weeks and only 4 playoff teams is a lot of variance.

Of the five picks at the end that I autodrafted, two of them were backup defenses

I haven't had a draft where the guy I wanted was taken the pick before mine so many times. It was painful. Overall this was one of the sharper drafts I've been in for a while, actually pretty fun (though would have been a lot more fun with two or three less snipes).

Yeah I think it's gonna be a great season. No idea who will win. I hope I didn't gently caress up by grabbing Rodgers in the 5th

For those of you who are new, I write a weekly color commentary that covers each match and add some nifty statistics and charts at the bottom showing total points for each team, the average score each week etc.

So, Miller Time.... are you still planning to do this? It's one of the main reasons I joined this league. I get it, though, if actual real life stuff has you too busy.

blue squares (temp name) vs Mods Knew
With a shockingly bad performance from Tom Brady and all of Mods Knew’s RB corps, not even a combined 48.8 points from tight ends could help surpass Blue’s 161.9 points. Honestly, this is one of the most bizarre team efforts I’ve ever seen in fantasy football. Aside from Kerley shaking off a series of bad weeks, every WR and RB was a complete dud, and yet someone who started two TEs had them both go off.
Blue’s team continued its recent upswing in points, with Aaron Rodgers and Jordy Nelson continuing to be an elite pair (despite hilarious failure in reality). I mostly won this game because Bilal Powell got lucky with a TD (only his second of the season) coming off a trick play, plus Demaryius Thomas also managed to overcome horrific QB play, scoring over 20 for only the second time this season.




Fitz Out for Harambe vs Russell Wilsons Libido
RWL suffered only the second loss of the season. 133 points would have beaten four teams this week, but not the 155 that Fitz hauled in. Eli Manning’s dumb face aside, he scored a respectable 24 points, but the big winner this week was #1 overall draft pick Antonio Brown. His garbage time yards against the elite Dallas pass defense helped a lot here, too. Tyreek Hill, a rookie I’ve never heard of whose week to week record ranges from 2.7 to 21.5 (mostly closer to the former) went off this week with 20.1 points, making up for lackluster RB play.
RWL’s team was dragged way, way down by the second half of his starting lineup. The only thing worse than Tavon Austin’s game was the actual football game in which he participated. Maybe with Jared Goff coming in, Austin will emerge as an elite WR option. (he won’t). Lance Kendricks has been a reliable TE, but he was another Jeff Fisher victim this week.




Personal Breesus vs Purple Grank
It’s not every week that the #1 team in the league gets absolutely blown out. Purple won by over SEVENTY POINTS. That’s more than our league commissioner (AKA the bye week) scored total. Even Gronk getting his lung punctured while failing to do much of anything productive didn’t hurt Purple. Purple’s excellent decision earlier last week to pick up the Ravens D against Cleveland payed off with 16 points, but ultimately didn’t matter. He could have run without a D and still soared to an easy win. Also, hats off to Willie Snead (which sounds like the name of a racist cartoon) for his first excellent game since week 1.
Why did Breesus lose? Player bye weeks sidelined SIX of his players, including Frank Gore, who has been fanstastic. Seven of his starting players combined for only 31 points. The other three did okay, but it’s very hard to come back from that. Now that Christine Michael has been CUT from the Seahawks, Breesus is going to have to hope Frank Gore continues his production after returning from his bye week. Breesus has a well-timed bye week against the league commissioner to lick his wounds.



My Doctor Prescribed Weed vs RG THREE DICKS
Another wide margin of victory, this time coming between two lovely teams with losing records.
RG3 scored the highest out of anyone this week, propelled by a monster Seahawks game and Le’Veon Bell thrashing the elite Dallas D for 34.4 points. Even Tyler Boyd being his usual craptastic self didn’t have an effect on RG3’s domination.
Weedman’s two-TE play didn’t work out nearly as well as Mods Knew. Lackluster running backs dragged down his score, too. Ultimately, there was nothing Weed could do this week. No one on his bench scored more than 4 points, and two of his bench slots are empty. In a league this deep, its hard to find much fault with a short-staffed bench (there are few worthwhile pickups available), but a 4-6 team should start thinking about reaching for new players if it wants any hope at squeaking into the playoffs.



Genie in a Bortles vs DAB NATION
The closest game this week was won by a team whose defense scored negative six points and whose opponent started a WR on a bye week, plus left two players on the bench that scored a combined 58.9. Those two players would have been enough of a difference over their corresponding starters to have won the matchup and helped Dab hold on to a shot at the playoffs. With this loss and Alshon Jeffery getting suspended for the next four games, Dab’s playoff hopes are looking grim.
Genie in a Bortles should have lost just for leaving Bortles on the bench in a week when he outscored the starting QB, but Ezekial Elliot, assisted by the elite Dallas O-line, scored an unbelievable 40.9 points. That’s over 30% of the points scored by the entire team. The rest of the team was garbage, no one else even scoring over 17 points, and yet they collectively won the day. Disgusting.




Bang Bang (BYE WEEK)
Bang Bang had the week off. His players, in their exhibition match, scored a collective 144.1 points. Ty Montgomery, who went from being a WR to being a RB, had a whopping three carries. Never trust Mike McCarthy run games. Ben Roethlisberger had a nice day despite facing the elite Dallas pass rush, but he could have scored zero points and Bang Bang would still have been fine. Bang Bang needs to win next week to avoid being tied for second place with blue squares, who currently has the edge in points for.

I just realized I'm an idiot and thought the playoffs only had 4 teams. I thought that I was about to be knocked out of contention because I scored the second most points of the week against the team that scored the most points.
