General Chat / Fantasy Football 2013

Wow, i have 129 points already (tehe)

Well, looks like Top Gun is gona beat me this week. 0's from my kicker and TE(s) don't help at all. The TEs pisses me off since I have two of the best in the NFL, yet both their QBs are playing like shit. Unless Orten and Lloyd go nuts again looks like I get loss #3, but that's not a big deal imo since I have a top 4 seed in the bag. Also I might need to play Bowe next week, dudes been scoring TDs like crazy.

In other news winners this week look to be:

Chapelz
gir
Maverick
JDP
Top Gun
tdub

Also lets note that even with Bradshaw (0), Nicks (6) and TO (12) K0NG would still likely be on the losing end of his match with tdub who put up a near league high 132.

damn tdub your not making this easy...
-JDP

^neither are you

and K0NG has kept our whole division pretty close thanks to his run of late. But, none of this matters once playoffs start

^Yeah, well that "run" came to a screeching halt thanks to your two guys having fucking career days Sunday. Even without any trade (which, BTW, I'm not too bummed on now seeing that Nicks is out and Jacobs is getting the nod at starting because of Bradshaw's fumblitis lately) I had a chance until Ben went for 34 and fucking Jennings had 33. Oh...and having Gates sit out again didn't help either. Subbing McMichael at the last minute before kickoff just wasn't going to cut it.

BTW...did we pass some kind of "trading deadline"? I can't find the trading block anywhere.

Edit: I just checked and the trade deadline was today/yesterday.

No big...I'm gonna make the playoffs and fuck someone's year up without making any trades. How the fuck did I just pick up Donald Brown...the only back Indy has left?

I might not win out here but, I'll know I busted my ass without having a stacked roster like some others that made one-sided trades all season.

But, how fun is it going to be for me when I DO actually win out because the stacked rosters start seeing players not hit their projections? Teams resting players....injuries...all in my favor.

K0NG, my 85% in Yahoo leagues was made of a bunch of #2 guys. Except the year when I had all the big NFL "Johnsons" on my roster. I almost change my team name when that happened. With emphasis in todays NFL to spread the ball to everyone (except frank gore, does SF have anyone else?) then everyone stands a chance.

With only two weeks left in the season about half the playoff teams are set with gir, Kumba, Chapelz and Maverick's records all being 2.5 games or more above the current 8th place team. Also the heated West division is still anyone's game with JDP and tdub at 6-5 and K0NG within reach at 4-7.

In week 12 are lone match-up of winning teams is Kumba vs. Maverick. Also a big west division match-up with JDP vs. K0NG and then next week a huge match again for JDP when he meets tdub who is the only player other than gir who is 3-0 in his division.

Good luck everyone!

hell yeah. i already won and tdub lost... first place
-JDP

looks like i'm going down, my bench outscores my starters.

I'm a bit irritated watching Brandon Lloyd sit on Kumba's bench when he was plucked right out from under my waiver order earlier in the season. I had literally NO production from my WR...

The Jets D/ST finally worked out for me

Getting close to starting Bradford. Here's to a terrible game for both Crabtree and Hightower.

I sat Lloyd since I figured Orten can give me points if he plays well. Maybe I will use both next time since Wayne is not living up to the hype. Bowe tho... damn he's a beast. Don't think I'll be taking him out of my starting line-up any time soon. We'll see what happens with Gore tonight, I might be able to get 140 for the new high if he has a nice game.

Anyways projected winners:

Kumba
JDP
In:Cites
Comet

Then Top Gun should win and Panther can pull off the monster upset of gir with a mere 3 points form the Cardinal's kicker.

Tomorrow I'll start figuring out exactly who can be where when the playoffs kick off in two weeks

I had literally NO production from my WR...

I had virtually none from mine either. White with only 5/49 and 4pts? And Moore had virtually nothing until the game winning TD catch. My only 'blunder' was that I literally did a coinflip between Blount and Goodson...Blount going against the Ravens D and Stewart projected to return for Carolina which would cut down Goodsons carries significantly. Goodson's 19 compared to Blount's 5 would have left me 10 pts ahead with only Fitzgerald going tonight for JDP. I'd have taken my chances with that any day. And I can only imagine how tdub's feeling after losing to a team who's roster hasn't changed in weeks and features one starter on IR and no player at all in the RB/WR slot.

Anyway, it'll take a minor miracle for me to still get into the playoffs but.....a chip and a chair, right?

Upset for me? I think so!

I don't think I'll be in this league next year.

Don't let the door hit you where I just kicked you on the way out

But shit... Gore might be done for the season and AP is questionable... that's pretty bad news for my "big 3"

Going to post the playoff breakdown soon so everyone knows what will happen if they win or lose this week.

It's mostly the amount of debate and complaints, but outside of that I just didn't have much fun with it. It was mostly just frustrating.

With only a week to go the playoff picture is almost set. The current top 8 teams are most likely going to be the 8 playoff teams. The only question is who gets what seeds and that is still very much in the air. We also still don’t have a champion for the West and North divisions, but each will be decided by one match. The winner of Chapelz vs. Maverick will be the North champ. The winner of the JDP vs. tdub match will be the West champ. That simple for the last two divisions and clearly the two biggest matches of the year so far!

Also the tie-breakers are as follows:
- Inter-division record
- Total points scored
- Head-to-head record
- Coin flip

Here is exactly how this final week breaks down for everyone:

Gir (10-2) – Division winner in the playoffs
Possible seeds: 1, 2
Gir will likely be the #1 overall seed in the playoffs. He can only slip to #2 with a loss and a Kumba win. In that scenario their inter-division record would be the same, so Kumba would also need to score 20+ points more than gir to pass him for total points which is the secondary tie-breaker.

Kumba (9-3) - Division winner in the playoffs
Possible seeds: 2, 1, 3
Kumba should be our #2 seed, but could pass gir if he loses and Kumba gets a win where he scores 20 points more than gir did. Kumba could fall to #3 with a loss and a win by Chapelz of 138 points more than Kumba scores.

Chapelz (8-4) – In the playoffs, can clinch his division
Possible seeds: 3, 5, 2
Chaplez just needs a win over Maverick to clinch the North division. With a loss Maverick will win the North and even if Chapelz’ record is worthy of top 4 he would slip to #5 since the top 4 seeds must be division winners.

JDP (7-5) – In the playoffs, can clinch his division
Possible seeds: 4, 3, 5, 6
With a win vs. tdub JDP will win the West division and become the #4 seed. With a win vs. tdub and a win by Maverick JDP would likely jump to the #3 seed since he would tie Maverick in the first tie-breaker, but beat him in the second one for total points since he is up by 92 points. With a loss JDP will slide to the #5 seed and possible the #6 seed if Maverick wins.

Maverick (7-5) – In the playoffs, can clinch his division
Possible seeds: 4, 5, 6, 3
With a win Maverick will take his division. A win and a loss by JDP and Maverick can get the #3 seed. With a loss Maverick can fall as far as the #6 seed.

tdub (6-6) – In the playoffs, can clinch his division
Possible seeds: 6, 4, 7, 8
tdub just needs a win and he will take the West division. tdub is the only team in the league with a perfect inter division record, so no worries about a points tie-breaker if his record matches JDP. With a loss tdub will slide to #6, #7 or #8 depending on weather Top Gun and Comet win.

Top Gun (5-6-1) – In the playoffs
Possible seeds: 6, 7, 8
Top Gun can finish as the #6 seed with a win and loses by tdub and his week 13 opponent Comet. With a win by Top Gun, tdub and a loss by Comet he will finish as the #7 seed. With a loss and win by tdub Top Gun will be the #8 seed.

Comet (5-7) – On the bubble, can clinch a playoff spot
Possible seeds: 8, 7, n/a
Comet just needs a win vs. Top Gun to get in as the #7 seed. With a loss to Top Gun, Comet would need a loss by Panther to clinch a playoff spot as the #8 seed. If Comet losses and Panther wins by 159 more points than Comet, he will be out of the playoffs.

Panther (4-8.) – On the bubble, can clinch a playoff spot
Possible seeds: n/a, 8
Panther will need to win by 160 points more than Comet and have Comet loss to grab the final playoff spot.

K0NG – (4-8.) – Unable to make the playoffs.
Possible seeds: n/a
Thanks to a 0-4 divisional record K0NG cannot make the playoffs even if he shares the same record as Comet and Panther at the end of the season.

In:Cites – (3-8-1) – Unable to make the playoffs.
Possible seeds: n/a
Josh is out since even with a win he can’t pass the top 8 teams.

Maverix – (3-9) – Unable to make the playoffs.
Possible seeds: n/a
Maverix is out since even with a win he can’t pass the top 8 teams.

Good luck everyone!

Oh wow, didn't realize how in it I was
Now I just gotta hope for a 7 seed so I can take Kumba out
