Boy, was I wrong about Winston vs the Colts. I never could have predicted such a ceiling.
Everything else is good but I don't like Diggs, I'd prefer A J Brown.
If I get everyone, would you flex brown over D. Washington in the half ppr, assuming Jacob's is out? Raiders take on the Jags this week and could be another big game.
Heck even in the full ppr. I don't truly feel good about Gallup this week and looking to flex Wahington, Slayton, or Brown over him.

Boom boom. I'm in the semi finals in both leagues. In one league I'm second, yet am the only team to break 2000 points, and handedly. The other I'm going against the points leader, but I was only 74 points behind at 3rd. Anyways, this weeks rosters.
Full PPR
QB: Winston @ Det, (picking up tannehill vs Hou incase winston No-go
RB: Cook @ LAC, Elliot vs LAR, mattison, pollard, (picking up D. Washington vs Jags for pollard)
WR: D. Moore vs Sea, Hopkins @ Ten, Gallup vs LAR, ODB @ Ari, Crowder @Bal, J. Washington vs Buf (picking up Slayton vs Mia for Washington) Also eyeing Pascal and AJ Brown
DST: Pat's @Cinci, Bal vs NYJ
That team got me 194 last week
Half PPR
QB: Winston, Darnold (BPA Fitz and K. Allen)
RB: Cook, Hunt @Ari, Mack @ NO, Powell @Bal, looking to grab Washington.
WR: Thomas vs Ind, Adam's vs Chi, Diggs @LAC, Tate vs MIA (replacing with Slayton), J. Washington (replacing with AJ brown)
DST: Ravens vs Jets, Steelers vs Buf

Yup

If you actually watch closely, Castonzo's man takes a cut inside (or is forced inside by Castonzo), and both Castonzo and him prevent Nelson from planting and locking out.

I did it, had to drop Pollard, Guice, and T. Willams to make room (Mack and Tate have been in my IR).
Man I hope you're right about Powell. He is the only back they'll have, I only hope the game script will support it. They could be forced to throw a lot. But Bell did do quite a bit of damage against them last time.
I don't think powell is known for receiving is he? That's Montgomery.

Need some advice..... I have a "win and I'm in" situation with my FF team today.
My FF opponent is starting Russell Wilson @ the Rams today.
I have RB Rashad Penny and I can pickup DK Metcalf off the waiver wire.
Do I start Penny and DK Metcalf and stack 2 of Wilson's weapons to offset what could be a shootout with the Rams in LA today?
My alternatives are my starters as follows....
WR - Mike Evans v Colts (NOTE: Winston is my QB)
WR - John Brown v Baltimore
RB - Mark Ingram @ Buffalo
RB - Davonte Freeman v Panthers
TE - Mark Andrews @ Buffalo
WR/RB/TE Flex - Marlon Mack @ Bucs
Available subs... Penny / DK Metcalf (FA) / Hunter Henry (TE/Flex @ JAX) / AJ Brown WR @ Oakland
Leveon Bell my usual starter at RB is OUT
Don't start mack. Replace him with Penny. That should be good.

@Narcosys pick up Bilal Powell for this game, sweet match up and LeVeon Bell was just ruled out. Might help with your dilemma.
I'm rolling with Cook and crossing my fingers.
Powell over Hunt? Also Vance McDonald is available in both my leagues this week against Arizona (the worst Defense against TEs and who allowed Higbee over 20 points last week).
Would you play him over Waller (vs Ten) in Half ppr or even over Ertz (vs Giants who's 3rd in least PA) in a full ppr.
Also since Arizona is so bad against TEs, should I play Diggs over J. Washington since many of the plays may go to McDonald? Now mind you Diggs will get Slay the whole game, plus likely to coverage.

I'd bench both Cook and Mattison, and play Hunt and Guice.
Mainly because Baker has a sore thumb, so I think he will check down to Hunt a lot vs the Bengals, plus Chris Thompson is out and hence Guice will be more involved in a game vs Packers who should score better than the Panthers thus reducing Adrian's impact. I have a good feeling that the combination of Hunt and Guice will give you the SAME production as the combination of Cook and Mattison.
But if you want to play one of Cook or Mattison, and one of Hunt and Guice, based on game flow, I feel play Mattison and Guice.
Guice hasn't been getting targets and hunts only upside is TD snaking
This feels like there's no right answer

From Fantasy Pros:
We're not likely going to know Cook's status and how much he'll play until Sunday, and even then, there's likely going to be smoke and mirrors. Cook did say he'll play in that game, but if you remember last year like I do, you remember him saying a similar sentiment before their game with the Rams where he went out and re-injured himself, then missed four weeks. ...
Cook should be locked into lineups as an RB1 but if the Vikings pull out front early, he's likely finding a warm spot on the bench. Mattison is more of a play if you're betting on the Vikings blowing the Lions out in order for the Vikings to rest Cook in the second half. That's always risky to count on, though if there were one game you could rely on it more than others, it's this one.
Here's my thinking: Do I think both Cook and Mattison will outscore TD dependent Hunt? If so, then should I not play both of them in my lineup over Hunt or even Guice (whos only had 4 targets through the past 3 weeks)?
Heck if I had to choose just one, I am leaning towards Mattison over Cook. Typically if the Vikings are leading in the 4th, Mattison takes over. In this situation, logic dictates that Mattison will be spelling Cook throughout the game, and will likely take over entirely come 4th qtr (or sooner) if the Viking's have the lead. I know it sounds crazy, but it also makes sense.

OK here is my definite opinion (definitives) If it is not broke ,,,,,,, Why are we fixing it????
Oh it's not necessarily a fix, but rather introducing things that might improve everyone's experience (IR slots for example) or add some variety from year to year (FAAB vs standard waiver order).
Just to expand people's experiences.

I have really enjoyed being part of this league, And thought all the idea's were find except the bidding on waiver wire prospects. I am good with whatever the majority decides. Go Colt's
Lol,
There is no majority vote when the majority says I'm fine with everyone else! Lol.
Going to need some definitives from you people lol

Packers will score, so Guice will be active on the receptions front. Cardinals play better run D than pass D, so unless Snell gets 20-25 carries, his chances of a TD is smaller than that of Washington. Washington will definitely get his against that pass D before Snell gets his yards.
Since it is at home, I expect Michael Thomas to move around. He may not catch TDs but will get lots of receptions since 49ers do play a lot of zone. However, Washington does have the upside, so go with your gut and play him against a D that gives up almost 3 TDs on average.
The last 2 games, Winston has been forced to check down more and be safer with the ball, and they have run it more. Hence his numbers have not been great the last 2 games. I think Sam Darnold remembers the embarrassment they had vs the Dolphins a few weeks ago and this game is at home, it is a great bounce back game for Sam.
For the full PPR, Chris Harris is in the slot, going against Stills or Fuller, most likely, so you are good with Hopkins.
I am so glad I do not have to worry about this in all my 3 leagues that I have a bye week in.
So Guice over Hunt?
Oh I am playing Washington and Adams for sure, the question is on Diggs over Thomas mostly.
Winston may have been checking down, but he still got me 29 points against Atl two weeks ago. Last week they didn't need to pass. I don't feel that will be the same in this matchup as we will stop rojo and company.
And you're very lucky/skillful. My full PPR league doesn't have a bye week, 14 games then straight into 4 team playoff.
-
Ok, so updated roster for half PPR. Might have made a mistake, thought I cancelled my claim for Guice to keep Snell...I didn't. Anyways.
QB: Winston vs Ind, Darnold vs Mia
RB: Mattison/Cook vs Det, Hunt vs Cin (8th most points), Guice @GB (5th Most Points), Mack @TB
WR: Thomas vs SF, Adams vs Was, Washington @Ari, Diggs vs Det, T. Williams vs Ten
D/ST: Pit @Ari, Bal @Buf
A few conundrums: Do I start Diggs over Thomas considering their matchups? ATL did just shut down Thomas, and we know what SF has been doing to receivers. Diggs killed Detroit last time.
If I believe Pit will destroy Arizona, then can I believe in Washington to really score a lot of points since they would then rely on Conners/Snell?
And do I attempt to get Snell back or keep Guice? lol
For my Full PPR
My only real question is on my receivers:
Moore @ ATL, Hopkins vs Den, Washington @ ARI, Crowder @ MIA,Should I bench Moore or Hopkins for Crowder? I would lean Hopkins since Denver D is pretty good against WR (6th fewest points)

Just wait for game time reports. If Cook plays, you play him and Mattison. Since it is versus Detroit, they may be able to get away with playing just Mattison.
In a match up where you need a ceiling, I'd sit Diggs and play Slayton if you cannot get Washington. Don't lose sleep over it, enjoy the process. There will ALWAYS BE ifs and buts in life and in fantasy football. If you don't get bent out of shape about it, it makes winning and losing easier to handle with an even keel.
Good luck!!!
LOL that's my problem. Situations like these always bum me out, but only for a short. It is a strength and a weakness that I am far too competitive in everything I do.
If I start one and not the other, and make the wrong choice. It'll probably burn me up for the day. Especially with the timing of it all. But I am already preparing myself for defeat.
If I play both Cook and Mattison, then my flex is between Hunt, Snell, Diggs, and Slayton/Washington. I think the highest ceiling for all of those is Washington, then Diggs, followed by Snell (If Conners is out).
Slayton, to me, would be my 4th option at best, why start him? Matchup?

With Cook getting injured and Diggs sucking like he always does, I barely lost. So I have to face Team 1 anyways. That guy's luck is going to continue. Even though I have Mattison, I don't feel good about the matchup.
QB: Winston vs IND, Darnold vs Mia
RB: Mattison vs Det, Hunt vs Cinci, Snell @Ari,
WR: Thomas vs SF, Adams vs Was, Diggs vs Det, T. Williams vs Ten, Tate/Slayton @Phi
D/ST: Pitt @Ari, Bal @Buf
If I get James Washington @ Ari, then I will probably start him over Diggs (even though he went 7/143 against them last time) or contemplate sitting Michael Thomas who is taking on SF.
Absolutely wonderful...Cook says he's going to be ok to play next week. I call baloney.
Now I am stuck figuring out how durable he will be and whether or not he will play on a limited snap count and split with Mattison. Which means I need to flex Mattison in order to cover myself. Absolutely perfect timing. It's against Detroit, just bench cook and start mattison and call it a day!

Yeah, Team 1's ceiling is higher than Team 2's ceiling for that particular week, and that is the reason why I chose Team 2. Anyways, things never work out as well as you think, so just put your best foot forward and hope your guys outscore the others, that is all you can do in FF.

1) I’d want a IR spot for sure
2) Either is fine
3) That sounds good to me
4) I like FAAB but I don’t care if we do it one way or another
5) I like it as a free league, as I don’t have much extra cash floating around. If the majority votes for this though I can just dip out.
Great season, everyone!!
Thanks for the votes.
I would hate to see you out of the league. I feel your pain, as me and my wife play, that's double the buy in for me with only half the chance at winning cause she's terrible... don't tell her I said that lol.

Thanks for managing this league!
1. I'd like to have one IR spot. We can make it just a "reserve" spot for injured players, not necessarily players actually on IR irl.
2. I can see the benefits of both scenarios, so I don't really care either way.
3. I like the idea of more teams making the playoffs.
4. I'm ok with the way it is.
5. I'd be willing to pay a small ante. Then we'd have to decide how the winnings get distributed. (League champ gets 100% vs rewards for 1st and 2nd, with 3rd getting their money back, etc.)
Thanks again, and Good Luck the rest of the season!
Depends on how small. I can see a $5 buy-in having 100% go to 1st. Typically in much larger leagues (in a $50 league myself). 1st place gets 50%, 2nd gets 27% ($135) 3rd place gets their money back and the remaining $65 is allocated for high scores each week ($5 for each week for 13 weeks).
Could also see $40, then 2nd and 3rd get their money back, or $35, $10, $5.
But typically you see winner take all in low buy-ins.
Just up to the league to decide. However, I always like to see a 7/10 vote before instituting any changes.

Thanks again for running this league. I do enjoy it.Here are my votes:
1. Yes, but only for players who are placed on IR by their teams, which is what I think you meant. Not for any player that is injured and doubtful or ruled out for a week. I’d prefer two spots but I’d be ok if it was just one.
2. Not sure I care either way....maybe someone will post why they are for or against and will persuade my decision.
3. I am open to increasing the amount of teams that make the playoffs. I don’t think it has been an issue with this league, but I am in another league that increased the the number of teams and it has helped to keep everyone engaged and setting good lineups each week.
4. Keep it as is.
5. I would be willing to pay.
Thanks again.
1. Currently in my Yahoo league, if a player gets ruled out, then they can go on IR. So for instance, Davante Adams was never put on IR, but was out for a significant amount of time. He would be eligible for an IR slot. Limiting to IR-R does add some flexibility, but since this does not happen too often, it essentially would not make much of a difference.
2. My point was not necessarily my actual opinion as an arguement for, but just stating the main argument for, helping top prevent poorer teams from making the playoffs over better teams.
3. Good point, I didn't think about that.
4. Thanks
5. I'll have to check more into it, but leaguesafe is an app/site I've heard is a good tool to manage buy-ins over a personal pay pal account. Essentially putting it into a 3rd party pot that the commissioner then pays out at the end of the season
Thanks for voting so quickly on these.

@Lucky Colts Fan, @BPindy, @Matthew Gilbert, @Bluefire4, @WarGhost21, @onebad150, @Btown_Colt
First off I'd like to thank everyone for one of the most interesting and intense seasons I've ever seen. We currently have two teams with 9-4 records, two teams with 8-5 records, and two teams with 7-6 records.
There is zero room for error for those 6 teams, as 4th place is still up in the air. Unfortunate season for the others.
Second I want to apologise for the lack of trophies this year. I hope ESPN finds a way to bring them back.
But with the end of the season, comes the end of season review and discussion about things we might want to change for next year.
A few of thoughts I would like to present to the league;
1. instituting one or two IR spots. Allowing us to stash our "O" designated players instead of dropping them in order to pick up a replacement. Thoughts? If you want IR, how many slots, 1 or 2?
2. Maintain two divisions, or have one division and the top 4 records make the playoffs. It didn't happen this season, but in the past we have had a team not make the playoffs while a division winner with a worse record does. Thoughts?
3. Having 6 teams in playoffs with 1 and 2 seeds getting a bye. This would require us reducing the season by one game, and is more applicable in a league with one division. But can be instituted in a two division league. We use to have a 13 game season when the championship covered two weeks. So that's not new.
4. Waiver wire. Continue with rotational order, or change to Free Agent Acquisition Budget (FAAB). For those unfamiliar with FAAB, you essentially get $100 in fake money, for the season, to blind bid on waiver pickups. You don't see what others are bidding, so you just have to guess how much that player might go for and manage how much your willing to spend. When you run out of money, you essentially have to bid $0 and hope nobody else picks up that player. Gives you a better chance at getting waiver pickups, instead of relying on the randomness of waiver orders.
Finally, this was suggested by Team Hulce, to make it a money league. Doesn't have to be expensive, $5, $10, $20. Thoughts?
Any other suggestions that the league wants to propose?
Thanks again and look forward to discussing.

Team 2 mainly because of Tannehill's low throwing volume and Chargers mainly running the rock vs Jaguars which makes Keenan Allen less enticing vs Jaguars.
Team 1 has had 6 games of 100 points or less, but three with over 150, the other three have been between 118-128. This week he look to score 106.
Team 2 is similar, having 3 games under 100, 5 games under 120, two between 120-125, and 3 above 130.
The difference is Team 1 has lucked into an 8-4 record while Team 2 is 6-6, about to be 6-7 but more PF than Team 1.
If I win this round I am in the money matches.

Here is my lineup for next week:
QB: Winston vs IND, Darnold vs Mia
RB: Cook vs Det, Hunt vs Cinci, Snell @Ari,
WR: Thomas vs SF, Adams vs Was, Diggs vs Det, T. Williams vs Ten, Tate/Slayton @Phi
D/ST: Pitt @Ari, Bal @Buf
Looking to try and pick back up, D. Guice whos at GB, and a sneaky D/ST play could be to pick up TB vs IND.

I don't like NYJ vs Miami, not after seeing how Dolphins handled the Eagles well. Miami does not have a run game and Fitzpatrick is chucking it 40-50 times a game, and that is also the Jets' weakness, their pass defense. Try to find someone else, to be honest. The rest look good.
Lol, that isn't my lineup, those are my opponents lineups. I can choose to face team 1 by benching Cook and Diggs, or win the match and face team 2. Which team would you rather face?
-
So I can essentially choose the team I want next week for the first round of the playoffs. What's your take on these two teams? Bolding their likely lineup.
Team 1
QB: R. Wilson @ LAR
RB: J. Jacobs vs Ten, Gurley vs Sea, Gordon @ Jax, Freeman vs Car
WR: ODB vs Cin, Sutton @Hou, Metcalf @LAR, D. Samuel @NO,
TE: Kittle @No, Brate vs Ind
D/ST: NYJ vs Mia, Oak vs Ten
Team 2:
QB: Tannehill @Oak, Brisset @TB, M. Ryan vs Car
RB: Chubb vs Cin, Ingram @Buf, Carson @LAR, Singletary vs Bal
WR: D. Moore @Atl, Lockett @LAR, K. Allen @Jax, J. Brown vs Bal,
TE: Hooper vs Car, Cook vs SF
D/ST: GB vs Was

Ya trying to get all 3 in both leagues as flex. Liking slayton, but hoping it's not a one time thing and Shepherd or Tate gets all the love next week.
