Fantasy Football 2009: Start 'Em, Sit 'Em, Trade 'Em

[Weltall]

Ok, I'm currently losing 60-68 and have the following left to play:

Steelers D
Mendenhall

Why am I 50-50 on winning?orz

[Akiyama]

60-68? What league is that..?

[Weltall]

One of my 4 money leagues?

[Akiyama]

Oh, was curious about the low scores and I wasn't sure if that was in a higher scoring league or not.

[Gadritan]

I'm getting my ass stomped in 20man by a 2-6 team BMarsh would need to do some serious work, but I'm only ahead 18pts in my money league and that's my opponents last player...so I'd rather eat a loss in 20man and get a win where it counts, lol.

[Conrad]

I thought you were Git Awf Me? Or are you Cardiac Cats...if so, who am I playing? lol

[Gadritan]

I'm Cardiac...

Edit: Git is Tyr iirc.

[Plow]

Man my team is finally coming together in 20 man.


Notice:

20 man trade deadline is Nov. 20. That's 10 days from now. If you're gonna make a trade git er dun!

[Weltall]

Bye weeks are killing mine hahhaha

[Plow]

yeah bye weeks are rough in this shit, gotta make decisions on like who's probably gonna get 2.5 points instead of 1.2, and if it's worth picking them up at the expense of someone that might put up 3.2 in other weeks lol

[Akiyama]

I've tossed games on bye weeks. I just hoped I got lucky (which I did not)

[Tyche]

I tossed a game on a bye week and still spanked akiyama.

[Akiyama]

I tossed a game on a bye week and still spanked akiyama.

Indeed you did, but I had a guy or two missing as well if that matters. =[ Still spanked you in the league that matters!!

[Tyche]

Doesn't count, Tom Brady wasn't right back then

[Akiyama]

Doesn't count, Tom Brady wasn't right back then

What about BGE this past week? D:

[Tyche]

Oh, that, yeah, not much you can do when someone drops a century.5 on you.

[Plow]

I don't really consider it "throwing games" when the free agent pool might offer as bad as like 5 points between 3-4 spots at the expense of dramatic losses down the road.

[Akiyama]

Oh, that, yeah, not much you can do when someone drops a century.5 on you.

Yeah, that was a pretty absurd week I had there. I'm surprised how my team is doing, though I'm sure I'll crumble at the end of the year once again.

And as far as 'throwing games', I guess technically that is correct, but not even trying to fill spots does count as sort of 'throwing' the game if you have someone to fill the positions.

[Melena]

Alright, got two tossups for this week.

First for my WR/RB Floating Position, Barber vs GB @ GB or Devery Henderson vs StL @ Stl

Second: Indi defense vs NE or Chicago vs SF

The defense choice is almost like asking you guys which way I should be raped

[recuperi]

I'd go with Chicago since the score will at least be lower, and Alex Smith is more prone to INTs and sacks than Brady without a doubt. For the first one probably Barber. In games where using the run would be the smarter choice, Payton's been going that way more this year. The Buffalo game in particular comes to mind when saying that.

Then again, in the opener they had gigantic passing and running games, so it'd be hard to tell. Barber's more likely to get a TD being a running back. But the Packers have been fairly tough on RB fantasy scoring. Still, between Bell Thomas and Bush I'd say it'll be a run-heavy day, so Barber seems like a safer option
