Hopefully you think Rudolph has a better floor than any Washington TE as well.

The Giants are poo poo garbage against TEs and Davis has been good the last couple of weeks. I need to stop trying to be smart.

You don't ask your HOF, iron man, franchise QB for the last 13 years if he wants to start. It's implied that he starts. Especially if he's not the reason that the team sucks.

Feels weird to say, but I definitely wouldn't want to be team 1 here. Adams has earned a ton of value this year, as has Hyde. Montgomery is meh, Robinson is still a good hold but would you really bank on him being a significant upgrade on Adams with Rodgers back, with what Adams has done this year? I don't know that I give up Adams for Robinson straight up.

Yeah, it seems like a weird play for the future based on guys who you hope will bounce back to prominence?

Shep barely seemed worth playing at any point this season, even with Eli.

And I say that as somebody who definitely went after him in drafts.

Engram isn't as egregious because TE is such a fuckshow coinflip.

In my main league, he went undrafted, and I was sooo close to grabbing him week 4. Instead, I would up with Jermaine Kearse or some garbage man that I dropped after a week or two, and my multi-year nemesis has ridden him from bottom or 2nd from bottom of the league to a matchup vs me this week for 3rd place. Easily my single biggest regret this fantasy year :saddowns:

I picked him up off the wire in week 2 in all of my leagues, including for $0 in my FAAB league somehow.

I'm already wondering what his ADP is gonna be in 2018.

1st place and a bye, clinched w/ 3rd seed (loving divisions), and 4th seed.

Not a bad year overall, too bad the 12-1, 12-win streak team isn't for money.

I'm so glad I passed on Gurley (took Bell, Ajayi, & M. Thomas) this year since he was a straight up bust for me last year. :suicide:

I hope you die a slow horrible death Jeff Fisher for causing me so much hate towards a RB who went and totally redeemed himself this year.

I was really leery of Gurley this year and only picked him up one one team, but I do remember one time last year I was on the phone with my dad while I had a Rams game on, and at one point I cut him off and said "Imagine how good Gurley would be on a good team..."

The next step in preseason fantasy analysis is understanding that an offense is an ecosystem, which is shockingly absent. Experts like to zoom in on the talent and go ehhhhhhhh everything else will work out.

This is the things that kills me about everything on fantasy sites. Everything is so massively context dependent and the "This team has given up the most points to TEs" blurbs are worthless unless you're weighting so many things.

Should I hang on to Butker or Elliot as a Kicker from a matchup perspective? I think Butker is good this week, but next week Elliot plays Oakland which has given up the most K points.

I would keep riding Elliot, Foles should be able to at least get them in FG range with regularity, right?

I dropped Elliot for Coon in one league and Elliot for Butker in another.

Don’t trust him now without Wentz to move the ball.

Dammit you're way better at fantasy than me so now I'm doubting myself hard.

Yahoo is ugly, poorly designed (though frankly that's a 'feature' of all fantasy leagues) and incredibly slow due to the terrible ads they run.

My computer regularly crashes when I spend a reasonable amount of time on my yahoo leagues. I have no issues anywhere else.

Look at this loser not running an ad blocker.

But for real I think ESPN is the far uglier, worse designed one.

If you started with Yahoo, you hate ESPN (because it's wildly different and you're lost trying to do anything). If you started with ESPN, you hate Yahoo (for exactly the same reasons). This is how people always react with obtuse, horrible user interfaces: it's the root of the ancient vi vs. emacs debate, for example.

I actually started on ESPN and pretty much made every one of my leagues switch to Yahoo after I used it for a work league. I actually prefer ESPN for baseball though.

Yahoo has a better draft interface than ESPN in both sports, though. ESPN's whole interface feels very dated now.

Hm, I had a feeling my "keeper" rate is going to be pretty high on my championship team...

Week 1:
QB: Tom Brady
RB: Le'Veon Bell, Todd Gurley, Doug Martin, Latavius Murray
WR: Kelvin Benjamin, Jamison Crowder, Brandon Marshall, Corey Coleman, Sterling Shepard, Tyler Lockett
TE: Jimmy Graham
DST: New England
K: Dustin Hopkins

Week 15:
QB: Tom Brady, Aaron Rodgers
RB: Le'Veon Bell, Todd Gurley, Alvin Kamara, Jamaal Williams, Chris Ivory
WR: Jamison Crowder*, Josh Gordon, Marquise Goodwin, JuJu Smith-Schuster
TE: Jimmy Graham, Jesse James
DST: New Orleans, Tennessee
K: Robbie Gould

I guess I was right that my starters didn't actually change too much once I picked up Alvin, and I knew coming out of the draft that my WRs were shaky, so the churn there doesn't surprise me at all. Also a lot of drops happened in the last few weeks, I feel like.

*I dropped and re-added Jamison part-way through the season.

If you get a unanimous vote, you can make it keeper right now. I think if you get a unanimous vote on anything it's a clear mandate to make a change.

Otherwise, yeah, make it known that after the next draft it's keeper and for the love of God put in some kind of inflationary system for keepers.

Two 4th place finishes and a 1st place. Of course, the 4th place leagues were the ones with money in them.

Still, the 1st place team lost week 1 and then never again, :feelsgood:
