MoFo Fantasy Football 2018 - The Regular Season
 

Obviously we need a thread. Here it is. Yay.

Unfortunately Josh got my reminder and now I'm an underdog. THANKS GUYS

Re: MoFo Fantasy Football 2018 - The Regular Season
 

When your starting running backs are Jeremy Hill and Frank Gore week 1 it's going to be a long year. Also when your first rounder holds out.

Re: MoFo Fantasy Football 2018 - The Regular Season
 

I think picking Brady and Gronk was the best decision I ever made. If they suck it equals AWESOME cause NE fans are douche bags ;).

If they do well then at least I get points it also equals AWESOME. I cant lose.

Re: MoFo Fantasy Football 2018 - The Regular Season
 

Lose my QB1 and WR2, opponent gains RB1 in Conner who's got 26 points already. Oof.

Got a feeling it could be a long year.

How did you lose your QB1 when he's never been back?

Re: MoFo Fantasy Football 2018 - The Regular Season
 

Seems like semantics; preseason indications were that he'd probably be ready. Return timeline stagnated right around the time of our draft, IIRC.

Not saying it was a good pick (though the main reason it was bad was roster composition, which I didn't adjust properly with the new draft order).

Joe Flacco is available. ;)

Re: MoFo Fantasy Football 2018 - The Regular Season
 

How could you even joke about that

Re: MoFo Fantasy Football 2018 - The Regular Season
 

I'm bringing negative rep back just long enough to thumbs down that post and then immediately removing it again.

Re: MoFo Fantasy Football 2018 - The Regular Season
 

Seems fair. I accept that.

Re: MoFo Fantasy Football 2018 - The Regular Season
 

I wonder who started Fitzpatrick today. Nice move if ya did.

Re: MoFo Fantasy Football 2018 - The Regular Season
 

Nobody, I think. Nobody wants him to turn into a pumpkin on them and start rotting on their roster's front porch in November.

Re: MoFo Fantasy Football 2018 - The Regular Season
 

Hope that Conner kid stays healthy. Bell's not gonna have a job to come back to if he does. WOW, just watched what Jack Doyle did. Fumbles and the Bungles run it back to the house. I'mma cut his ass.

Re: MoFo Fantasy Football 2018 - The Regular Season
 

The last few minutes of your game has been pretty, uh... exciting, eh Chris?

What kind of bogus bs is CBS doing. Teasing me with the Pittsburg game going into OT then saying nah too bad. And what kind of lame crap coin toss was that???

I stopped watching most of most Steeler games a few years ago. I saw some of it on GameChannel. Yeah, not great, Bob.

Definitely in line with the pregame prediction of "Steelers probably win but it'll be closer than it should," though.

Watching the announcers watching the game and play calling and not actually seeing the game is about the lamest thing I have ever seen.

Funny you mention that. I was about to come in here again and hype up the redzone channel which I've been watching for years now. I'm actually trying to watch the whole Seahawks game today because its been at least 2 years since I sat through a whole game as well.

Re: MoFo Fantasy Football 2018 - The Regular Season
 

Shessh Pitt'

Sometimes you just know how things are going to turn out .

Re: MoFo Fantasy Football 2018 - The Regular Season
 

I would say I am happy with the tie, but it doesn't feel that way.

ANyway looking good in the FF arena for the day thus far. That Saints game was wild.

Re: MoFo Fantasy Football 2018 - The Regular Season
 

Steelers tie Browns. Tons of turnovers, Steelers missed an OT field goal to win it, but also blocked an attempt from the Browns near the end.

I find it impossible to get too excited (happily or angrily) about anything Steeler-related these days. The Bell holdout probably wrecks their chances, and they'll probably close this championship window without ever getting to make a run with all their stars in tact. Pretty lame, but so it goes.

If I were still a big fan, I'd probably write this one off anyway, since since there's a torrential downpour in Cleveland (and here; I can't believe it's still coming down!).

Re: MoFo Fantasy Football 2018 - The Regular Season
 

Fantasy-wise, team gettin' whomped, but that's expected. Probably going to have ended up playing the week's top scorer, anyway.

Re: MoFo Fantasy Football 2018 - The Regular Season
 

I don't think I can ever stop watching the Steelers games. I really would love to see them in person at a home game. Seen them on road games in a few places over the years, but really want to experience Heinz Field and all the terrible towels on home turf. I do understand the apathetic stance though as I cannot say during different years I have not felt that way at some point, but then kickoff happens again :).

Re: MoFo Fantasy Football 2018 - The Regular Season
 

Dang. Week one and my team has already been through a minefield. Multiple injuries on the team already and what appears to be a bust at RB2. Jimmy G roughed up my a brutal MIN defense, but that was to be expected. Hopefully he plays better moving forward. WR1 dials in a goose egg... yikes. I have the depth to absorb most of this and head into week 2 on mostly fresh legs...

That said, I think I might win the week, as my opponent also took some tough shots. It's my WR3 against he defense tonight.

Let's go Rams!

I get into the games while watching them, I just watch them much less frequently. :laugh: I'll get excited if and when they're in the playoffs, but the edge was taken off after that second Super Bowl. But I am kinda shaking my head already at the thought of these three star players never making a Super Bowl together.

Still haven't been to an NFL or even college game; just a high school game when I was much younger. I might finally give it a go this year or next, though, since I've been informally resolving to do more stuff in general. Seems like it'd be a fun experience, even if (especially if?) you're not crazily invested in the outcome.

HA!!

Re: MoFo Fantasy Football 2018 - The Regular Season
 

I thought I was looking at glare first, but I wasn't.

Re: MoFo Fantasy Football 2018 - The Regular Season
 

Green 3 TDs and games still going, seriously?

Re: MoFo Fantasy Football 2018 - The Regular Season
 

Re: MoFo Fantasy Football 2018 - The Regular Season
 

This may be that week when someone says I shoulda started Dalton. I won't say it. I'm a professional. But someone will. Is he going to turn back into a mushy smelly pumpkin next week? Who knows? Maybe he's the best QB in fantasy this year....

He already looks like one.

Re: MoFo Fantasy Football 2018 - The Regular Season
 

God dang Pat Mahomes

Tomlin has been a solid coach, but it's time for Cower to come out and get the team into gear. They need the jaw.

Right now there's a very good chance we'll only have one 2-0 team after two weeks. :laugh: Maybe two.

This year's just gonna be a mess, isn't it?

Re: MoFo Fantasy Football 2018 - The Regular Season
 

I won with my starting running backs Frank Gore and Ty Montgomery! What a challenge this is!

Re: MoFo Fantasy Football 2018 - The Regular Season
 

If you just look at your own lineup it seems ridiculous, but then you look around and you see that a whole lotta teams are starting some really iffy backs because that's just football now, and at least a few of them are gonna do well. :shrug:

Dropped Mason Crosby for Jake Elliot thirty minutes prior to kickoff. Elliot scored 3 pts. Crosby scored 19. I'm projected to lose by 7.:facepalm:

Wasn't there some word about getting rid of kickers? :p

Every year for the last few years. :laugh: But we usually get a couple people against the idea, and I think it's a big enough change that it should be pretty close to unanimous.

I'm definitely for scrapping them, though, even though I'm pretty sure it helps me slightly that we have them, if only because I never waste an earlier pick on them and usually end up with an average-or-better one anyway.

Re: MoFo Fantasy Football 2018 - The Regular Season
 

I don't think Yahoo allows for it but one cool idea is to combine kicker with Defense, since Defense already incorporates some of Special Teams.

Re: MoFo Fantasy Football 2018 - The Regular Season
 

As far as kickers go I am kind of on the fence, but would be happy to go with the consensus. It does seem to lend more advantage to "luck" than to skill. Maybe a point reduction like 1 point per score no matter if its a 55 yard field goal or an extra point. Not sure - anyway we all start off with the same lineup so I am cool with not having them if that's how it winds up one day.

Think I will change my team name to "3 n out".


What a completely dismal offensive (and offensive) game for the skyrats.

Re: MoFo Fantasy Football 2018 - The Regular Season
 

If I don't have a full compliment of players this week; it's not because I'm overly confident and think I don't need to run all my guys out there. If I could win with red boxes then I'd be in great shape tho! I got LOTS of those. sheesh... And isn't it lovely how when a couple of your guys go down late in the week and the team your playing that week just happens to have all the players that may take their places? Yeah, I think that's grand. :nope:

Re: MoFo Fantasy Football 2018 - The Regular Season
 

Aaron Rodgers is on the trading block. Anyone interested?

Is he any good?

He is an up and comer. :D

Re: MoFo Fantasy Football 2018 - The Regular Season
 

Leveon Bell on the block.

Damn squeaker of a loss.

I remember seeing Brady toss that last interception and thinking that would be the difference.

I hate when bad feelings like that are right. Still really happy with JuJus performance so far though.

Re: MoFo Fantasy Football 2018 - The Regular Season
 

Wow, three games and we already have no undefeated teams and just one winless one, and the winless one is 9th at scoring and mostly just got some badly timed opponents. :eek: Lot of parity this year.

Re: MoFo Fantasy Football 2018 - The Regular Season
 

I need a strong RB- any of my recievers are on the table. Allen, Hopkins, and Thomas.

If anyone needs a WR1 let me know

I'm tired of getting my dick stepped on week after week. I'm willing to talk trades if there is anybody on my roster you are interested in. I think most of my rbs have underperformed, but I have faith in all of them except for Jamaal Williams after week 3.

Sent you a proposal, I’m willing trade another receiver instead of Thomas. But I like the structure of 2 RBs for 1 WR/TE and 1 RB. Let me know if there’s another combo that would interest you.

Re: MoFo Fantasy Football 2018 - The Regular Season
 

I value Mixon as a legit top-end RB1, so I'd have to get Hopkins to part ways with him. I don't care for Penny at all, and Thomas I'm weary on because of how poor he's looked so far. I'd be down for a 1 to 1 Hopkins for Mixon if you were interested, we could wait until next week when he'll probably be back if you want. As far as the two for two, I would maybe counter with Mixon, Lindsay, and your choice of Fitz or Russell for Hopkins, Cam, and Burton

So you're saying there's some questions.

Re: MoFo Fantasy Football 2018 - The Regular Season
 

So Brady at -8 so far, feeling good about this.

Re: MoFo Fantasy Football 2018 - The Regular Season
 

I hate fantasy football

Re: MoFo Fantasy Football 2018 - The Regular Season
 

Yah it's pretty dumb.

Re: MoFo Fantasy Football 2018 - The Regular Season
 

Cripes, TONGO's probably gonna become just the second team in league history to break 200. And I'm pretty sure the only other one did it while we had full PPR!

Re: MoFo Fantasy Football 2018 - The Regular Season
 

This is lame

What is? Playing a team that's going off?

Re: MoFo Fantasy Football 2018 - The Regular Season
 

No, I mean that sucks too. My team, its lame and I felt pretty good about it at first. Still plenty of weeks to come back I suppose.

Re: MoFo Fantasy Football 2018 - The Regular Season
 

You've just gotten bad schedule luck. You've put up good scores every week.

Technically, you had the fifth-highest points total going into this week, but you were only like two points behind the guy in third.

Re: MoFo Fantasy Football 2018 - The Regular Season
 

Was just looking at that. Oh well, maybe Juju can put up 100 points. :)

Re: MoFo Fantasy Football 2018 - The Regular Season
 

Do the Steelers defensive players get paid?

They shouldnt. Sorry wife is at work, no one else to whine to today.

Re: MoFo Fantasy Football 2018 - The Regular Season
 

Honestly no one wants Rodgers? Looking for upgrade at TE or WR.

Re: MoFo Fantasy Football 2018 - The Regular Season
 

Offered a trade to Beantown Champs on Sunday for Jimmy Graham since he already has Ertz and I just lost Eifert for the season (although I was hoping to upgrade at the position even before the injury). Three days later and still no reply, which seems to be a recurring problem in this league. Don't people get e-mail notifications? Accept, reject or make a counter offer.

Although I am playing him this week, so maybe that's why he hasn't responded. I doubt it, though.

Re: MoFo Fantasy Football 2018 - The Regular Season
 

Yeah, we've got a handful of owners who are bad about that for some reason. Mostly the ones who aren't active members here, I usually talk to Pete on FB, can send you his profile there if you wanna nudge him (I doubt he'd mind).

I'm not on Facebook, so that does me no good. It's just frustrating to never get responses on some of these trade offers. It happens in all my leagues, though, to some degree. At least when they're an active member on here, I can just shoot them a PM.

Re: MoFo Fantasy Football 2018 - The Regular Season
 

I was on vacation last week, and was barely active on anything, really.

Sorry if I missed any trade offers!

Super tough loss for me this week, all due to my QB dialing up a goose egg (!!!) I would have been OK if he had gotten me just two points...

Re: MoFo Fantasy Football 2018 - The Regular Season
 

Not sure if I'm going to have any receivers this week. Like, at all...

Re: MoFo Fantasy Football 2018 - The Regular Season
 

Fantasy cracks me up. I really have no idea who to play in the flex and Yahoo is no help. :laugh: Their "experts" say Breida should be rated higher than Jones or Ajayi and yet he's "projected" to have less points and has been all week. While Jones and Ajayi have switched projections all week long. How do the same experts rate a guy higher than two other guys but not have him projected to at least get about the same number of points? #Idon'tgetitandneitherdoyou

Re: MoFo Fantasy Football 2018 - The Regular Season
 

Screw it. Just gonna roll with the guy that Yahoo has on my team page that's projected to get the most points this week. This is hard!

Re: MoFo Fantasy Football 2018 - The Regular Season
 

I don't know who you chose but I'm pretty sure you picked the wrong guy.

Amen to that brother. They should have like, a chart or something and they could rank all these guys in order. Then, decisions would be easy!

Re: MoFo Fantasy Football 2018 - The Regular Season
 

Hey Chris. Do you get little notifications on your phone whenever Flacco throws a pick? You know, just so you can have a little chuckle?

Here's a little two line poem I composed while driving home just now:

Isiah Crowell.
Whack-a-mole.

Don't make me code this. I'll do it.

Hey, if it puts a smile on your face it's probably worth it.

You are correct sir! Breida already with 12.60 and Ajayi with... i'm not sure if he's even playing.


Edit: Breida being helped off the field just after posting. Pffffft!!! Yikes.So many injuries in football. I just don't believe this sport is sustainable any more.

Update: he did not break 200, but if you adjust to full PPR (which was what we had in 2009 when PW set the record), TONGO's score is, in fact, higher. :eek: So, adjusted for settings, that's probably the best week in league history.

Crazier still: he got zero from Sammy Watkins (not hurt, just one target, no catches) and somehow still put up that insane total. He could've had another 12 from Frank Gore, who was on the bench.

Other than Watkins he had six skill players (RB/WR/TE), and all of them scored over 20 points. He only got 7 from his defense, too! That's pretty average, but it's really weird to see a total this high without the defense scoring a couple defensive TDs and throwing up 20 themselves, nevermind combined with a goose egg at another position.

Wild stuff.

Re: MoFo Fantasy Football 2018 - The Regular Season
 

Yahoo is a bunch of haters. They gave me a D... a D for winning last week? Like I have any real control over these guys. Kiss my ass Yahoo!

Re: MoFo Fantasy Football 2018 - The Regular Season
 

Those things are consistently awful. Can't remember the last time they didn't pick me to finish 3-10 or whatever (including this year).

Re: MoFo Fantasy Football 2018 - The Regular Season
 

I watch a little bit of their fantasy stuff. They're just regular people. I'm guessing some of them even have lives.

Re: MoFo Fantasy Football 2018 - The Regular Season
 

Fantasy sports--football, in particular--makes way more sense when you start viewing all your choices as a series of probabilities. When you think "this guy has a 66% chance of scoring more points than this guy," and just expect to be wrong a third of the time and wait for it to even out, it gets (slightly) less maddening and random-seeming.

It's just like poker, getting your money in with the best hand. You'll still lose. You'll still lose regularly. You just won't usually lose.

Re: MoFo Fantasy Football 2018 - The Regular Season
 

I am happy if i can just field a team every week. You know? It's crazy how quickly these guys go out. Usually in the first or second quarter. Makes ya crazy ya can't switch em out.

Re: MoFo Fantasy Football 2018 - The Regular Season
 

I agree. It's been hard to field a team.

Re: MoFo Fantasy Football 2018 - The Regular Season
 

Ajayi out for the year after Sunday. Even he doesn't seem to know exactly when he tore his ACL. Yowza! I mean... wtf?

Re: MoFo Fantasy Football 2018 - The Regular Season
 

Having more or less total blanks at skill positions is definitely a more common thing now than it was even three years ago, it seems.

Re: MoFo Fantasy Football 2018 - The Regular Season
 

what site do you do fantasy through?

Re: MoFo Fantasy Football 2018 - The Regular Season
 

Yahoo

thanks

Re: MoFo Fantasy Football 2018 - The Regular Season
 

Me: "I'm gonna sit Jeffrey because I have lots of good options, and I think he'll be TD dependent."

*Jeffrey scores two TDs*

Me: "Well...technically I was right."

question: considering you are all in a fantasy football league, do you like the show The League(2009)

Re: MoFo Fantasy Football 2018 - The Regular Season
 

I thought it was pretty good. Occasionally more vulgar than funny, but often both. Lots of really funny people involved that I'm pretty sure were improvising a lot of it, too. I think I liked it more as it went on, as well. Too gimmicky in the early seasons.

Re: MoFo Fantasy Football 2018 - The Regular Season
 

I've been playing fantasy football for a long time, and I don't think I've ever had a defense get me as many points as Denver did tonight.

Re: MoFo Fantasy Football 2018 - The Regular Season
 

Yikes... the Sony Michel injury looked really bad. May have just lost another player for the year. In the first quarter. I may be whining a little bit here, but my ratio of guys that I have lost for the year in the first half of games is by far the highest in this league. I have no evidence whatsoever to back up this claim. I just know its true.

Looking to move a receiver for an RB. I've got three #1 wideouts in Jeffrey, Sanders, and Brown. Not totally averse to moving Brown but obviously the ask is bigger.

Sanders is #3 among receivers this year, and Jeffrey would be #4 if you prorate the games he missed to start the year, just in case people don't realize how ridiculous they've both been.
