All of mine are available but I'm gonna just let you pick which since idk what you'd consider fair. Just know I want a better WR

[Headspace]

Team name?

[recuperi]

Team name?

Oops, bazooko's circus

[Headspace]

Im pretty interested in Rice (obviously) and Fred Jackson, and Dexter if you're willing.

Idk whats fair. Megatrons untouchable, everyone else could be willing to give up.

[Headspace]

Maybe lol

[Chun Liroy]

I can't decide between WRs.

Dez
Lloyd
Maclin
Meachem

I originally selected Dez, Maclin and Meachem, but Colston should be good to go this week, and what with the way the saints spread around the ball I'm unsure. In the same token, Lloyd should be good to go, but he hasn't put up jack thus far in the season. Romo is still battling injury, and so is Dez, but hopefully he will be fully healthy this week. Miles will still be out so he'll still be the #1 option.

didn't know yahoo won't let you put a waiver claim on someone you drop lol >< so lame, just needed the space for the weekend

when you drop someone they get put on waivers the way the default settings are for yahoo so they can't be added right away by anyone.

you can add someone who "cleared waivers" i.e. waiver day already passed and no one picked them up their status gets changed to Free Agent and can be picked up freely until the next waiver day. default setting is Weekly Waivers Sunday - Tuesday, you can put in to add that player back now and it will go through on Sunday morning if no one else with a higher waiver put in for them. If you click the Players tab you can see the status of every player right now it should either show W (Oct 1) or FA.

There is a setting called Waiver Time which determine when you drop someone if they will be available for the next waiver. If you dropped them on Sunday they wouldn't clear Waivers for the Tuesday iirc. I think default is: Waiver Time: 2 days

I was all ready to dump Matty Ice for being a complete peice of shit, so I go and look at the schedule he has remaining. I kid you not, he only has 3 games left this entire season that isn't in a dome. Seattle this week, which should be fine, it's a shit defense and it's still warm. One against Houston, which I assume would be decent weather as well, and one at Carolina in December. At worst, he'll play in one game where there's elements involved lol.

[Chun Liroy]

The only element you need to worry about is that matty ice sucks.

Want Stafford?

[kisada]

so yeah

LGB vs indy?

or ryan mathews vs miami.

they both give up about same number of yards to RB's, though indy's given up more TD's and their offense is one of the worst at staying on the field (perfect for a guy like LGB). that said, i think monday night's game vs the steelers proved they aren't rolling over just yet. thoughts?

[Tyche]

Want Stafford?

Before I looked at the schedule I probably did. Now, I'll probably stick it out with him. Plus, McCoy isn't going anywhere.

[Tweek]

ATL better change quick, they been looking like complete shit, I could see them losing to lolSEA knowing how tough SEA is @ home. That being said I'm still picking ATL to win

[Chun Liroy]

Tyche, make week 4, kthx.

unless I'm missing something that's all pretty basic stuff, but yeah someone put in a waiver claim on him so I never got the chance to pick him back up since I couldn't use my waiver position


Still need week 5 qb in 20 man, hit me up guys.

lol then why were you confused? you wanted to drop someone and pick them back up having priority over everyone else?

maybe i don't understand what you're saying but it shouldn't block you specifically because you dropped him it's doesn't work like the nfl

I had waiver position 3. Flacco was coming off a bad week so I figured the likelihood of the 2 in front of me attempting to claim him was virtually nil, especially since anything against the Rams would be looked at as... against the rams.

So I dropped him, thinking I'd be able to give up my #3 waiver spot in order to get myself through the weekend without having to take a 0 at TE (that went well...).

Went to put in a waiver claim, it wouldn't let me. Someone much lower on waivers put in a claim and got him.
