I've always been more of a fan of standard scoring and changing rosters. I like 1QB, 1RB, 2 WR, 1TE, 2 Flex (non-QB) it gives roster flexibility, doesn't promote bit players that just compile catches, and to me most importantly doesn't force anyone to hold their nose when making a pick because...

2QB non-ppr is a weird league. Even at 4 pt/TD you have to go Rodgers and Luck 1/2. It bumps down WR that are non-elite and bumps up RB like Alfred Morris. In a league like that I could see myself getting 2QB and 2 RB by the forth round. Past elite WR you are banking on TDs. It's just so...

I have him 1.08 but would potentially take him 1.06 depending on scoring and knowing league are tendencies. I look at it this way. In order to win you have to have as many sure things as possible. Discounting an injury, is there anyone at TE I'd put anywhere close to Gronk? Heck with the...

Because there was a second on the clock and he wanted to ensure the game was over since it was 4th down probably. It was kind of silly for the crew to make sure they got that last play off though. I'm surprised McCarthy didn't just kick a FG

4 teams make it, playoffs start week 13 instead of 12. 2week playoffs. Mixes H2H with a little less variance due to one bad week

There is almost no way that Manziel is not named starter tomorrow. Hoyer looked really really bad today. There were far too many 3-5 play drives (10). His defense gave the team 17 of its 24 points (they had a 2 yard drive for the FG). I just don't see how they put him back out there...

Yeah the list I put up earlier was incomplete as I had made two posts in word docs and gave the wrong one. What I posted was best possible at 1.01/1.06. I meant to add what concensus was (per DLF) for those picks and how huge of a drop off it was most years. It's like Luck to Michael Floyd...

I meant best ball as in what your highest weekly lineup could possibly be and then get the total points for the year. It's probably a terminology difference, I'm just used to calling it that for that league (we use the best ball total points, not best ball all-play record). IDP doesn't change...

Let's take a look shall we? Per DLF the best player available to the pick (my estimation, of course hindsite...) 2014: 1.01: Sammy/Evans/ODB 1.06: Benjamin/Hyde 2013: 1.01: Bell/Lacy/Gio 1.06: Bell 2012: 1.01: Luck 1.06: Alshon Jeffry (though he was consensus 7 picks later, the...

1: add tackle for loss and put it at 3-4 points. It's not really any different than a sack anyways and DL get them more than typical LBs.2: if you want to keep 7 defensive guys, go 2/2/21 DL/LB/DB/flex or go 2/3/2 which is what I like (not a fan of flexes personally) 3: tackles at 2 and...

You actually don't have a terrible core of players? You have a RB1 (Bell) future WR1 (OBJ) potential future WR2 (Adams if the Packers don't sign Cobb), and a RB flex potential in Smith once Atlanta stops giving SJax carries. I'd probably have to see both rosters to know. Plus, you didn't...

People don't tank good rosters. There's even little reason to tank borderline rosters (those 6-7 teams that clog up the middle of the standings). Tanking is almost always when there are 2 terrible teams (say 3-10) and one guy doesn't start starters to get the number 1 pick. Or a team is...

And then you have a hole in your league, with a team that sucks. But ok let's go down that road and let's say you kick the tanker out: 1: what do you do with the pick? Does the team still get the first pick, thus upsetting the rest of the league because he tanked? If he doesn't which pick do...

But the point is to give the worst team the best pick. What other way do you have to prevent tanking while giving the team with the worst roster the top pick? I mean you could go with just have the commish force players into rosters that he believes are the best starts to prevent tanking, but...

Until he's more involved in passes, he's Alfred Morris which is RB12ish even in PPR. His upside will be limited but solid imo
