That would be a mistake. It's not like Jones is out for the entire season. He's the better WR and he'll be back soon enough that Sanu will have only helped you get past the easy elimination weeks. Plus, Cincy is almost certainly going to reduce passing attempts this year.
Completely understand OC and I think I speak for the entire crowd in expressing our deep gratitude for the contributions you've made. Keep it real, GB.
Thanks guys.
Sanu is a little bit of a tricky case. He certainly will have a bump in the first three weeks. And perhaps in weeks 5 through 7 he'll be fine as well as Jones gets back up to speed. The ultimate question is will be play well enough that he'll basically carve out a gig as being indispensable by that point. Open to debate.
I'm more of lurker, but pay close attention to this thread most years. Took it down 2 years ago.
I don't have any data to back up my opinion but I have I think that 3 cheap K's is the way go. Back in 2007 when the Patriots were scoring at an all time high Gostowski might net you 7 points in a 49-0 blowout whereas a kicker on a poor team gave you 9-13 in a 28-9 loss. I've always gone with the 3 kicker strategy in this contest.
My own anecdotal evidence suggests that only owning two kickers leaves often leaves you very exposed, especially during a bye-week, let alone an injury. I've not gone the three-defense route in the past, so I can't speak from great experience on that, but if you are using the bargain big for defenses, I would imagine 3 is better than 2, just based on the fact that they're not expected to be consistent scorers, so the more the merrier. I would not load up on more than two defenses if I was paying anything more than the minimum across the board. If I was moved enough by a particular defense that I was going to pay more than the minimum for them, I would probably go with the more expensive defense as the presumed "starter" and then carry another cheapo for bye-week coverage and maybe an occasional surprise.cvnpoka said:
Just as a quick example - the TE order had Graham on the top at 30, then Gronk at 26 and Julius at 26. It switched to Graham 30, Julius 26, Gronk 26. No values changed, just their location on the page. Several players "relocated" within their price, but none changed. When you stare at this thing as much as I do, you notice things lol. But it's completely inconsequential.
Just to update, I put something together last week and tested it over the weekend and it looks to be working great. I still have some fixes to make and functionality to add, but it will be good to go for the regular season. I may ask folks to check it out in preseason week 3 or 4 just to get a few more eyeballs on it before it goes live for real.
I bet Iggy's machine predicts the future
It'll probably spit out the eventual champion after week one
Where are you pulling the live starts from? Scraping NFL.com?
Last year I wanted to be sure not to worry about the defense slot and my other selections allowed me the budget to roll with 2 top Ds so I went with Seattle and San Fran. I didn't expect them to be the top producers (since D is notoriously difficult to predict) but I hoped they would be relatively safe and consistent bets.
Not crazy at all. If you want to win you need to underpay for points, and unproven players can be a way to do that. The only part of your numbers that concern me is the 2 kickers. The prevailing wisdom seems to be 3 kickers is the way to go, at least that's what I've seen in these threads previously and my analysis tends to agree.
Man, I could used this a few years back. When I built that scoring ap (that built WAP pages for people to check out their scores on their phone or get them texted to them, this was the same year the OG iphone came out)... paid $30K for a live NFL scoring feed. This is free? And is it up to the minute?
