No. As of right now, the cutoff is 123.55. After tonight's game, the cutoff will rise. Seeing that you have a 13 point cushion and Cotchery (-5.8) left, I think you are safe.136.7 with Cotchery (-5.8) to go tonight.Projected cutoff is 123.5?
To follow up on that, I put in the FBG projections for the MNF players (think I caught them all, got all the big ones anyway), and the cut rises only to 128. Should be about a 5 point rise if everyone plays to their projections. Last week was unusual in that there were huge numbers from popular players, and a good number of open scores from the hurricane bye.No. As of right now, the cutoff is 123.55.

Can you explain your logic? Every team has a bye at some point, what makes the Cowboys Bye so tough, and does that mean you have no Bucs, Redskins, or Ravens? That's why you mix up your players, to avoid big Bye headaches but you can't avoid individual players. I don't see any logic in avoiding one of the highest power offenses in the league in this format because they have a bye week.1250 teams will get cut next week, 15% of the remaining entries. There are 6 teams on BYE (Lions, Colts, Dolphins, Patriots, Giants, and Seahawks), that seems pretty brutal to me, but I didn't plan to make it through just one week, and I certainly wouldn't have started with week 10 in mind.BR33ZE said:
I can explain the logic, but maybe not his.The last bye week is week 10, and the cutoffs get more and more difficult to make as the weeks go on, so the toughest bye week to get past, would be the one furthest in the schedule, or week 10.But I agree with you, that taking players on one of the highest scoring teams would probably counter the week 10 things, if the price is right.
That makes sense to me, but I worry about getting to week 10. Then I have to rely on Gore, Thomas Jones, Slaton, or Rice to step up. I certainly didn't put all my eggs in one basket, and I even paid a price to back Barber up with Felix Jones, but avoiding a player all together because of his Bye doesn't appeal to me.
30+% of the remaining teams will be cut in week 10. Not a great week to have one of your studs on bye if you can avoid it, IMO. At various points during the month of August I had Romo, Barber, and/or Owens in my lineup but eventually all three were left out because I didn't want to risk going into week 10 that shorthanded.
The logic is that in week 10, I think there is a 30% cut. So you have to be in the top 2/3... not just a 15% cut or whatever next week. That seems like a more difficult cut to make to me so I avoided almost all Cowboys, Bucs, Skins, Ravens.
I admit I thought about this, however I decided to still roll with Owens and loaded up with LT2 and ADP to hopefully pull me through Week 10.
I have 5 teams entered on your site, my contest team and the next best 4 teams I almost entered which I'm very interested in tracking as well.To help with tabulating the cutoff perhaps you could add a check box to the teams - I'd be happy to indicate which team is my actual contest team.Nice Job on the cut prediction CTRCha-Ching!That was impressive. Especially since there is an "adjustment factor" that I basically had to make up to hit the last 2 weeks, and I wasn't very confident in it! The Fantasy Star database actually scores quite a bit higher than the general contest for now, so I have to ratchet it down by a factor of about .9. I am also chopping our entries down every week, to kill the eliminated teams, and we will probably need to get a new group of teams in a few weeks.We locked the computation at the 425 valid entries on his site. Just over 500 were submitted, but they were invalid for one reason or another. Those of you that want to be part of the estimate in the future should double check your rosters to make sure you have exactly 22 players, that you picked the right guy (i.e the Steve Smiths, the Mannings, etc.), and that you add up to less than 250 (which is dependent on using the right guy!). Fixing/eliminating all the bad entries is what took us the longest to set things up. OC is trying to put on a valid team filter so that the next batch goes faster, but it will be kicking out live teams that are improperly submitted to him.I should have the rules in place to check the teams sometime this week...
Thanks for the um, compliment. May I add that maybe you should have picked a better team?
Nahhhh, that's not it. He should've known better than to pick guys who were going to get injured.Thanks for the um, compliment. May I add that maybe you should have picked a better team?
cold man, very coldThanks for the um, compliment. May I add that maybe you should have picked a better team?
Gotta take it if you're gonna give it! Good luck anyway, maybe you can win one with your kicker!cold man, very coldThanks for the um, compliment. May I add that maybe you should have picked a better team?
If SD stops scoring TD's and kicks FG's. Kaeding (-10) and I am not in good shapeGotta take it if you're gonna give it! Good luck anyway, maybe you can win one with your kicker!cold man, very coldThanks for the um, compliment. May I add that maybe you should have picked a better team?
Is it just my imagination or are we getting rid of those pesky staffers earlier than last year?Like my team so far, only 3 players not used after week 3 (Matt Ryan,Deangelo Williams and Chester Taylor).Anthony Borbely said:Doug Drinen said:

Right with you. 161.2 here.Robert Royal and Keller find the lineup this week after Burress and Owens stink it up. Waiting for Romo to save the day, has not counted yet.....or else that was a big waste of cap. Maybe some Romo owners are flopping out making him more valuable down the road???I was they only top 5 of Grant Portis, Clavin Johnson, Homes, Steve Smith from the start.
