I used the search stats tool and found I am the only team with my big 5 combo:

Gore

Barber

Boldin

Calvin

Tony Gonzalez

None of which have the same BYE. I like that my team is so unique. :thumbup:

 
I had Matt Schaub & VY as my QB's... just missed cutoff by 0.8 points thanks to Ike... :wall: :bag: :cry:

isn't there a natural disaster clause or something, not for Schaub but for VY!!! :hophead:

:whistle: I'm a bit surprised to say that I am the only team with the combo of:

Brian Westbrook

Reggie Bush

Calvin Johnson

Brandon Marshall

Jerricho Cotchery

Also none of whom share the same bye. My #4 WR is Santana Moss, who also doesn't have the same bye as any of the other 5. I'm pretty happy with my squad this year...

ETA: These are my 5 most expensive players...

Nice call on Gonzo. 13 of 14 teams with TEs Jason Witten *AND* Tony Gonzalez are still alive. With 1.5ppr-te, it's basically like having a stud WR as a 4th WR in the flex.My club took a gamble with just Westbrook as my only stud RB (rest are Slaton, Ricky, Rice) but if he stays healthy I hope to make the top 200 again :lmao:
 
#8868, whew.

Thank you MBIII!

Had a lot of people out this week thanks to Balt/Hou byes, but made it thru. Loving that I'm still alive...was in doubt before MNF.

 
# 760. with 206.05 points.

Looking at my team, I am very happy so far. I avoided big money WRs and RBs, and I think that strategy is appropriate in a best ball format. Marion Barber III is my most expensive player at $40 and Boldin is next with $26.

My RBs are thin after Barber and Thomas Jones, but I think this WR corps will sustain me for a few weeks:

Anquan Boldin

Brandon Marshall

Donald Driver

Patrick Crayton

Jabar Gaffney

David Patten

Muhsin Muhammad

 
Ugh. The combination of the Baltimore/Houston bye, Steve Smith's final week of suspension, and Curry's big fat zero did me in at the WR position this week.

Plaxico Burress $29 23.30 19.10

Steve Smith $23 0.00 0.00

Ronald Curry $10 9.80 0.00

Mark Clayton $9 15.30 0.00

Kevin Walter $6 13.10 0.00

DeSean Jackson $4 16.60 17.00

Missed the cut by about 7 pts. Oh well, maybe next year.

I did about the same thing, most valuable being Portis @ $33. I'm consistent - 174.95 week 1, 175 week 2.

SO are mine. I am the only one with Whitten and CJ2.
:yes: Witten and CJ2?
He's talking about Chad Johnson, I wouldn't claim that one if I were him.
Oof. I assume he's this guy then... looks like he'll be sans kicker and defense in week 4:

ouch.....if it makes you feel any better you would have only missed the cut by 1 point if D. Jackson would not have showboated 1 yard too early...... :rolleyes:

I did about the same thing, most valuable being Portis @ $33. I'm consistent - 174.95 week 1, 175 week 2.
Interesting, because I thought Portis was a great value at $33 and I almost made him my #1 RB.
 
157.70. Brandon Marshall went a long way.

I now have Steve Smith to go with him, Cotchery and A. Gonzalez at WR.

Brees at QB

Ryan Grant, Forte, E. Graham at RB. Get healthy Grant!

Not loving my team, hopefully the WRs carry the mail. Wish I had stuck with first plan which was McNabb and Westbrook

 
Only 2 other teams with my big 4...none with my big 5 adding cutler/romo combo

L.T

Bush

Calvin Johnson

Brandon Marshall

I'm lacking a bit in depth, which I know can be big but if these 4 can be consistent, I should do OK.

Has anyone else got any complete whiffs so far? I have two, Jacoby Jones and Donte Stallworth, 2 straight goose eggs.
Jacob Hester as LT insurance - I don't remember Sproles being an option but I could be mistaken
Steve Smith comes to mind as well, due to suspension, obviously. Jacoby was courtesy of Ike in week 2, hope he see the ball occasionally this year. Someday I'll learn my lesson Donte...

My five highest paid are:FitzPortisBushWinslowMarshallThis is unique as well, and no shared byes. You could swap out Marshall for Romo (same cost) and there are 2 other teams with that combo, one of which is almost identical except for Marshall and our Kickers/Def's. I like that I have Marshall and he does not though, that is a good thing, and could separate us nicely (although so far we have been very close in scoring).

They don't call him Santa Claus for nuthin.
 
My top 5 (well, actually 6, because I have 4 players at $23) are:

RB Maurice Jones-Drew - $34

RB Clinton Portis - $33

WR Brandon Marshall - $23

WR Steve Smith - $23

WR Jerricho Cotchery - $23

TE Tony Gonzalez - $23

Of this group, here are the unique combos (using both MJD and Portis, because they are my 2 highest priced guys):

MJD, Portis, Gonzo, Marshall, Smith

MJD, Portis, Gonzo, Marshall, Cotchery

MJD, Portis, Marshall, Smith, Cotchery

And my unique 4 combo...

MJD, Portis, Gonzo, Smith

None of my unique combos are off the same week. Let's hope I can get uniquer (hey, I just made up a new word) as the weeks go on.

In Drinen's power rankings your UQ is 10191. That is, your team is not very unique. :shrug: You're up there in the power rankings though. Not sure how much stock I'd put in those numbers anyway.

You'll get uniquer in a hurry with the way MJD is playing.
 
I made it in with 146.90, despite 10 doughnuts out of my 22. Using the tool, it looks like my five highest paid healthy players are indeed unique (I also have Colston, but since he's out, I didn't include him in the query):

Eli Manning

McFadden

Parker

Brandon Marshall

Vernon Davis

I'm shooting for three straight years without missing a cut. Lucked out this week.

 
1QB, 3RB's, 3WR's, 9TE's, 4K's, 2D's... And this team is still alive? HaHa

Greedy / demanding requests....only to be fulfilled if your bored / find it interesting...YTD team average, standard deviation, avg-2sigma within a range, filterable to exclude certain players or roster composition min max.

Example: show me top avg-2sigma scores for all teams that do not have Brandon Jacobs and have at least 3 TEs.

 
4 teams with my top 5 of

Westy

T Jones

C Johnson 2

S Holmes

B Marshall

But we all have dfferent QB/TE/D/K more or less and very different backups and roster makeups.
