Well whaddayaknow....I lost another highly drafted player!

2 or 3 in this league every year...why should this year be any different?

 
In the house with 129 and David Johnson looking like a bad pick.  Everyone one I'm up against has players left.

56 - Allen - Cook

39 - Mcmanus

32 - Brees

85 - Rivers - Hunter

52 - Anderson - Thielen

45 - Rudolph

83 - Allen - Lutz

how do we see these again?

 
Finished with 123.5 despite starting Andy Dalton  :lmao:  ... definitely a better fate than I deserved. A pleasant surprise to realize IBL scoring doesn't deduct for INTs.

If the MNF games are as offensively-challenged as Sunday's I could start my IBL career out 7-0, but 5-2 or 6-1 seems more likely.

 
scratch that i might go 0-7 = quite possible to 6-1 (not very likely but wouldn't be crazy)

Try Edelman and DJ.  Basically when you figure in the trade to get DJ I've lost my 2nd, 3rd, 5th, and 6th round picks.  It will be a struggle to keep this team out of the basement.  To add insult to injury, I'll be towards the end of the waiver wire.  I'd gladly send Cam to a FBG team in need for a position player or someone off the wire.

Well, went 6-1 with a 119 score...won't get that lucky again.  Lost my kicker, so the score did not have a point from the position.  Hopefully with a kicker, it translates into my getting upper 120s averages.

 
5-2 at 121 or so.

Would almost rather have had a bad week so I could try to replace at least ONE of the players I've lost :(

I can send Gore your way for Cam if we can make the intra math work. Take a look and let me know.

I'll look at that tonite.  Kind of was looking for someone startable.  I do have Mack so I could hope for an injury, but they usually don't happen when I handcuff.

 
Tons of FAs out there that can make a difference.  No reason why everyone shouldn't be grabbing a piece of the action.

Can someone explain the WW process to me? The rules indicate we can submit waiver claims beginning at midnight Monday, but when I click Add Player on the main IBL site all I get back is an error message.

Yeah, unfortunately I went RB-RB in the 2nd-3rd and then Gore in the 9th is my RB3. Figured with Mack you would at least have that backfield sewn up, not that anyone should want much of that dumpster fire until Luck gets back.

I'm sure I must be - this is on my laptop, it's listed under "My Leagues" in MFL, and my roster shows up when I click "My Roster" on the IBL home page.

If I'm clicking the right link and it's just me getting an error I'll contact a commish and see if I can get it fixed.

 
Worst thing about doing well the first week is that you get stuck with crap.  Hogan almost made it to me.  Ended up as likely the only person owning Dorsett.

 
Tempted to cut David Johnson just so I don't get any more ridiculous trade offers.

Tell me about it. Had six different names loaded up in my waiver bucket and got none of them. But hey - I got a kicker to replace Sturgis!  :mellow:

 
Opinions from anyone whether I should cut Dalton for Alex Smith as my only QB?

Part of me feels like doing it would be chasing points, but the Texans D plus TNF doesn't fill me with confidence about the Red Rifle, at least for this week.

Got this offer a few minutes ago:

whibberz (ZEAL 3D) will give
Bernard, Giovani CIN RB

To Ruffrodys (FBG 1E) for
Johnson, David ARI RB

Declined. Obviously.

I had it too.  I had one where I give up DJ and Antonio Brown for Hunt and a used jock strap.

 
Damnitalltohell.....I want a used jock strap offer to decline as well. I feel left out.........

Smith killed us last year.  Frustratingly inconsistent.  If that has change, his rushing yards are a huge bonus in this format.  Dalton is kink of the same way.  At the end of the year they both will be 17-19 ppg guys.

I've been back and forth on the CamGore thing.  I suspect I'll end up cutting Gore during the bye weeks and I not sure Cam and his fu'd shoulder would be much help to you.  That said, I won't start him over Dak so maybe he's more valuable to the team on your roster.  If you really like Cam then I'll pull the trigger.  If he's a marginal upgrade at best at QB for you in your opinion, let's sit tight.

 
There's another Alex Smith copy on the wire.  Team FBG could corner the Alex Smith market.

Meh, Cam would probably be an upgrade for me but I'm not real high on him this year TBH. People are still thinking of all the bonus points his rushing used to provide but I pretty firmly believe that ship has sailed.

There's a copy of Tyrod still floating out there and I think as a one-week rental he's probably an upgrade on Dalton.

 
My lesson for next year is to avoid guys with tough Week 1 matchups. Some pretty surprising (and highly-drafted) names getting kicked to the curb by impatient owners after one week.

 
So one of the half dozen guys low balling me for DJ says to my counter of DJ for Hunt...Lol, just so you know, DJ is out until at least Christmas.  My reply...In that case you probably shouldn't be trading for him.  Here was the exact original offer...

He gives Hunt, Samuals, and Jaquizz for Antonio Brown, DJ, and unnamed player.

 
what are your guys thoughts on Williams GB...I know he didn't get any run last week, but is Ty Mont really gonna carry the mail all year?

 
What were the drops and adds that were done? If sketchy can we lodged a protest?
read some of the responses in there and this is the first I have ever heard of some "15 minute window".....WTH is that...?....and then they said that transacations that take place in this "window" are legit....

I know others out there are fans of him but I'd pass. Even if Ty goes down (and for all the squawking you hear about how will Ty hold up, the dude is bigger than Jamaal), I doubt he'd get anything more than a timeshare on a team that'd be perfectly happy throwing 50 times a game ...

If you're looking for a grab-and-stash that could pay off in case of injury I'd lean Ivory over Williams. Dude looked pretty good last week and with Marrone being scared stiff of Bortles you know they're not gonna abandon the run game even if Fournette went down.

 
Just posted this message on the leagues message board: 

stat corrections?

Why are these not being applied ?    

SOP for most leagues I am in.    

Don't see anything in the rules?

Yes.........means a win for me!!!!!!!

 
Just posted this message on the leagues message board: 
Does MFL not automatically apply stat corrections? Or is this one of their 2,145 toggle boxes that can be enabled/disabled by league?

Seems weird that they'd even allow you to take the "preliminary" figures from Sunday as gospel, much less have that as the default. I haven't seen that done in 15 years.

 
my thing is....the technology is there to "get it right"....why are we not using it...?....they make a big deal every week in the write ups about the closest defeats, etc....

They do not automatically apply. It is a checkbox under Setup> For Commissioners>Apply Weekly Stat Corrections. Commish simply has to check the box and then they are automatically applied every Thursday

 
i believe now there is even a check box on the stat change page for commissioners that if you click and save it, it does it every week on Thursday at noon.....you don't have to touch it every week.....one and done....

oops good post BroncoFreak...

Sitting at 119 with Tate to play...feeling good, but I know a lot of people have Giants/Lions going tonight.  I can see the matchups, but where do you find the head-to-head scores?  To me, it looks like it only updates when the week is over.

I think you have to go to Live Scoring and just search for the names of your opponents in the list. If someone has an easier way please let us both know.

Jordy going out on the first drive really torpedoed me this week. Four of my opponents in a bunch between 110-115 and with 94.3+Jordy I could have caught them all with a good night. Instead I'm looking at 2 wins max.
