    Yahoo fantasy league commissioners

    I'm commishing a Yahoo league, but I'm having trouble with setting up our playoffs correctly. Yahoo has set it up with the six best records, but that's not how we do it. We have a points wildcard. I can't for the life of me figure out how to get the playoffs schedule fixed. Yahoo doesn't seem to...

    Coping with a high-scoring fantasy team that keeps losing

    One of the obviously frustrating parts of fantasy football is the luck factor. Case in point: In one of my two money leagues, I have the second-highest scoring team, yet I'm in second to last place. I'm sure there are lots of you guys who are in the same boat. I'm tempted to just give up the...

    Starting two RBs from the same team

    When the matchup is right, I think it's reasonable to start two RBs from the same team, just as some owners think it's fine to start a Wayne/Harrison or Marshall/Royal at WR. Am I misguided? I never really considered this until today, but I'm going to start Lendale White/Chris Johnson against...

    Epitome of anti-Patriots bad taste

    This is so uncool. :thumbdown:

    Should Deshaun Foster be considered a solid RB2?

    I'm watching the Carolina RB situation with interest. It looks like Foster is going to be the main back this year, as usual. But will he put up enough fantasy points to make him a solid RB2 or just a marginal one? Interested in opinions about this guy going forward.

    What is flippin' UP with all the knee injuries?

    Is it me or are there more knee injuries than ever among offensive players this year? It seems like guys are going down like flies at the moment. And they're all on my teams! :unsure: OH, WAIT, I guess Milton Bradley isn't on my team. But still. Doesn't the spread of knee injuries seem...

    What's the deal with Ahman Green?

    I hear he hurt his knee today, but is the owner who dropped him being rash? :jawdrop:

    No. 2 and 3 fantasy picks

    Many fantasy owners who had top picks in their drafts are going to lose their Week One battles. (Like me.) When you combine the slow start from SJ and LJ with the long serpentine wait for your next two picks, it was probably not a terrific week for you. I probably would have won if I hadn't...

    Tatum Bell and Brandon Jackson purgatory

    I'm wondering what some thoughts are on the interesting situations we have with Brandon Jackson and Tatum Bell on their respective teams. Each player has been named the starter for Game One. But each has a RB breathing down their neck: Morency and Duckett. Are both these guys actually RBBC...

    Future fantasy stud?

    Seriously, this kid -- who is going to set the NCAA all-division rushing record -- is a LASER. I love stories like this. Spurned by Division I programs because of his size — he was 5-foot-8 and about 175 pounds as a freshman — Woodhead is drawing attention from the NFL. Scouts from the Atlanta...

    Is Holt overrated?

    Just curious. I can't seem to shake the feeling that he's going to revert to the all-yards, no-TD production of a few years ago. I have no real reason to feel this way. Am I being stupid?

    How far is too far to wait on QB?

    OK, here's my question: I'm in a 14-team league where I was fortunate enough to get the No. 2 pick. If trends stay the same, I can expect about 3-4 QBs to be gone before the draft swings back up to me at 2.13, and if I don't take on there or at 3.2, about 9-10 QBs to be gone by the time the...

    Is this pre-draft picks trade fair?

    OK, I happen to think this is an incredibly lop-sided trade that guarantees one owner a cakewalk to the Championship. But you tell me. 14-team league The guy with the 4th pick wants to trade his 1st, 2nd and 4th round picks to the guy with the 1st pick for his 1st, 7th and 9th. In other...

    Craziest draft time/place

    I'm in a money league that has been around for at least a decade. Because many of the guys work nights (not me), we have decided that we will have the draft at 1 a.m. this year on a weekend at a league owner's house. There's really only one guy who whined. And there's not a single guy who...

    27 bucks, huh?

    I've been a subscriber here for at least the past five years. Obviously, I missed whatever early-bird special they had this year but dang: 27 bucks? Was it that much last year? The entire entry fee to one of my two leagues is 30 bucks. Yeah, I know, I'm cheap. I'm married now. :unsure: I...

    Leading a 14-team league in scoring: My record is now 5-6.

    I realize that most of you don't care, so please don't post here if you aren't interested in sharing my misery. This is the thread for owners who have done everything possible, yet are being screwed by the fantasy gods. :bag: I am leading my 14-team money league in scoring. Had a solid...

    The No. 1 fantasy TE will be Colston! :evilcackle:

    I know that some owners -- aka the ones who weren't savvy enough to pick up rookie Marques Colston after week one -- will argue that it's unfair to start him as a TE even in eligible online leagues: My money leagues use Yahoo and EA Sports (which has worked great, by the way) to run operations...

    Is Reggie Bush being keyed on to the point of lessening value?

    I'm getting the feeling that teams are going to game plan against New Orleans with Reggie Bush as the primary target. If NO is going to win, they will do it without Bush going off. He will have defensive players trailing him like flies on ... you know. This is great for other FF players --...

    Reggie Wayne ranking - WOW

    Anybody understand why Wayne vaulted this week, to a rather stunning overall WR rank? Higher than Chad freaking Johnson? :o

    Cut bait on Dominic Rhodes?

    Does anybody see the guy having RB2 value this year, or is it inevitable that Addai is taking over? (Plus, the Colts don't seem to be much of a running team.) :popcorn:
