and it wasn't an injury or illness or something like that. but a tantrum lol

e: Another thing. Next season I want to propose a small change and raise the score level for rushing yards for RBs, WRs, and TEs. Full PPR is creating an imbalance where an incredible day of rushing like Damien Pierce had results in a lower than expected score. I'd like rushing yards to be appropriately rewarded, maybe they can be .125 or something like that just to give them a little boost.

Also higher scores are cool. Any thoughts on that? Is it even possible with Yahoo?

We can talk about the scoring system for next year, sure. Personally I don't have a problem with the current setup, but maybe if full point PPR is skewing things too much we could move it to half point PPR if enough people agree to that. I dunno if you can do like a 1.25x booster to rushing yards like you're talking about with Yahoo's setup, though.

Darren Waller is so frustrating. I want to drop him but it’s not like there’s a bountiful feast of competent TEs.

TE is a rough position this year. Either you have one of the few elite ones or it's a grab bag of mediocre.

Somehow I wound up with Kelce and Ertz

I think this week is the first week I've ever played a TE in the flex (because my RBs are so weak I played Khalil Herbert today even though David Montgomery is back)

Not gonna hurt you this week. My one week rental of engram turned out to be a bust, much like the rest of my team with byes.

Also it's hilarious that the team with Joe Mixon is getting totally stomped this week because they didn't manage their lineup.

That's too bad it's just a little sad to see a dude rush for 139 and put up a pretty pathetic score just because no catches. A catch for no yards worth the same as a ten yard run is weird logic.

But, I like big scores mentally and emotionally so going half ppr doesn't appeal either. I guess yahoo doesn't have my breadth of vision to both respect the run and boost all scores into the stratosphere, more fool them

I know I tried to warn them because that's no fun. I still would've had some chance to win depending, had an okay week but at least it would've been exciting. Especially with Mixon putting up God tier numbers

I went through all the teams looking for a way to trade Zach Ertz for a RB better than Khalil Herbert, and I gotta say, you all disgust me. What are these teams? One of you has 3 TEs. Bizarre league we got here, just bizarre. One of you has exactly 2 RBs and like 8 WRs.

Look, you've seen the win percentage, and hell we can see the projected points right there. I guess the real question is who's going to have what it takes to defeat you in the playoffs.
