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

[Abandon]

i sat desean jackson last night and still won by 30, what's this world coming to.

[Abandon]

I had Garcon, Moss and welker. i planned on doing desean "the jerk" jackson instead of garcon but forgot to change them due to breakfast goodness. hmm

[Headspace]

Vade's starting lineup of 3 WRs in BGE were the exact same 3 WRs that I started in BGP. B. Marshall, S. Rice, and V. Jackson. Needless to say, I lost in BGE, and won in BGP. Unless Byrd and Vade lose next week, I'll miss the BGE playoffs . I'm so going to dominate BGP though!

So you think.

[Tyr]

Great week, although I think I'm going to be bumped from BGP playoffs because of my horrible outing. Won 2/2 playoff games so far though, in 20man and one of my school leagues.

In my money week, where I clinched a long while ago, I had 120 points (roughly standard scoring) in the first hour of games...Schaub, Andre, Ray Rice, Peterson, Dallas Clark.

hmmm been a crap yr for alot fantasy owners

Sorry bro. :/ Not done yet though. Alex Smith could have an absurd outing!

And I wouldn't really say BGP is gonna be dominated. There's a few teams that can cause real problems in the playoffs. I can't wait for those.

Sucks that I'll lose tonight in BGE. Starting to look like last year; big win streak, then sucking ass going into the playoffs and I think I finished 4th? I need to improve upon that.

is vade pwning in that league? besides CJ and slaydog idr who is RBs are

[Tyche]

Vade was one spot out of the playoffs until he beat me this week and took my spot. Fucking brandon marshall.

[Akiyama]

Depending on how things go, I may have to face Vade in the first round

[Kurp]

Hey, you don't know that for sure! You need 0.46 points from Beanie Wells tonight to beat me. 0.46 points may not be much, but it's better than when I went to bed last night, when you needed more than about -1.5 points.

Frankly, I'm not even sure why they list Divisional Record. Seems pretty useless to me, barring an exact tie in total points.

Yeah the last I looked I was up by a small amount and was thinking of taking Wells out just to be safe. Watch him get injured on the first play and taken out for the game.

[Byrd]

I saw I was down at game's end and night, and was thinking you should bench him. After going to bed thinking I was done, I was glad to have a miniscule lead this morning, at least it makes you play him. It doesn't seem likely to me that he gets injured, but he does have six fumbles (only three lost) this year. It's at least conceivable he'll get shut down, only get 20 yards and cough up two fumbles.

It's kind of funny that your team is #1 in total points and you're needing Beanie freaking Wells to not fuck up for you to get into the playoffs. Everyone already in the playoffs should be rooting against Beanie tonight.

Byrd, unless Alex Smith goes bonkers, you're gonna lose + still get into the playoffs, I think. God my team blew ass this week...

I could be reading it wrong, but it looks like ManBearPig has already clinched by finishing 8-6. That leaves five teams with winning records: Tyche, Akiyama, BenRapistburger, Colm and Manbearpig. If Beanie Wells fumbles it away, I'll finish 8-6, too. If not, it becomes a three way tie at 7-7, JoeMauer for QB will get the nod based on total points.

My team sure started slow. The first four weeks of the season, my team had below 86 points every time. Since then, I've had below 100 points exactly once.

My bad I confused you with Kurp. BUT HOLD ON -- Stattracker shows you league standing -- I'm too busy to look up the rules, but I might get the nod OVER Kurp because I'm 6-6 in the division, and he's 5-7....as in, both of us being 7-7 overall record, tiebreaker might be FIRST division record THEN points....

that'd be sweet for me, horrible for Kurp.

[Tyr]

PS: anyone paying attention to what's going down in 20man!? Akiyama might WIN despite coming into tonight losing, because Hightower and Warner have combined for -4 points........

[Headspace]

It's some bullshit.

[Tyr]

It's some bullshit.

I don't know...I think you should have benched hightower/warner...you had nothing to gain, and negatives are huge in this league (low scoring, but still -2 for turnovers)


Also, as a study-break, I looked up the tiebreak system, and it looks like I might be the 6 seed despite losing/Kurp having scored more points, because I have a better division win percentage:

If, at the end of the season, two or more teams in a division finish with the same overall record, the following system will be used to decide the division winner:
Overall winning percentage.
Division winning percentage.
Fantasy points scored.
Fantasy points scored in Week 17.
Fantasy points scored in Week 16.

Very interesting. That's BGP right? I think I'm pretty much locked into my 4 spot or whatever, so I don't really mind either way.

Almost pulled out the miracle upset, but Moss burned me bad, so D: Can't really legitly sit Moss for Crabtree though, so I'm proud of how I faired even with crappy WR play most of the year. GG Headspace.

Also, gg Tyr. You tried.

[Headspace]

#2 seed in BGP, I bet all my players go off during my bye

[BarthelloSylph]

Holy shit what a week.

Had a bye in my LS league.

Was up only 13 in my money league in the first round, with the other guy having Fitz tonight.... moving on to the second round...

APPEAR to have rallied into a playoff spot in the elite BGP playoffs, though my team sucks balls

and have backed into a spot in BGWest playoffs

4 teams, 4 playoffs, fucking excitement!!!!
