Yeah, I know, nobody who wasn't affected by this cares, but it's kind of a bitter pill to swallow. I just think it ruins the integrity of the league. Like I said, our QB scoring is very different than other positions and starting a 2nd QB is a huge advantage. Had I been the commish I would have not allowed him to be used at WR. Just stinks to lose like that.Oh....where is that icon... I can't seem to find it.... HERE IT IS!
I agree with you 100%, and I don't play Yahoo. You lost on a loophole.. a technicality. That sucks.Yeah, I know, nobody who wasn't affected by this cares, but it's kind of a bitter pill to swallow.

That is lame.Your commish should have addressed that immediately.Yeah, I know, nobody who wasn't affected by this cares, but it's kind of a bitter pill to swallow.

Sounds like he lost to a player who knew the rules better.I agree with you 100%, and I don't play Yahoo. You lost on a loophole.. a technicality.

A hug might help.
This. What about Danny Woodhead who's listed as a RB/WR? Why should that be allowed, especially if your league values RB and WR yards separately? What about someone like (off the top of my head) Jim Leonhard, who was a punt returning safety? Why should a safety be allowed to start as an IDP when he gets return points too?
Pretty much had already decided I wouldn't be back next year, even before this.
Winner!
I would never play in a league that over-values QBs so much that Webb's performance tonight was a game-breaker195 yds passing31 yds rushing1 rush TDWhat's so unusual about that point total for a WR?
LOL I'm not mad...I won my championship and the cash prize yesterday and don't play in a league that has Webb "technically" listed as WR. But had he been I would have said something in my league even before waiver wire pickups to make sure everyone in the league knew about the situation and would have expected any decent commish to step in before games started this weekend. And I don't know what IDP is nor do I care.
Sounds like sour grapes and a crappy league.
IDP is individual defensive player, like LB, DL, DB. These kinds of problems are abound in all IDP leagues because there are LBs who can play DE, DBs who can play LB, and DBs who return kicks
Well it sounds like a total headache. And isn't your draft twice as long with defensive players? It's already hectic enough on draft days. Anyway, I would not have allowed it if I was commish of a league. But it seems I'm not in full majority with that opinion. I guess it is what it is.I think the OP probably should have spoken up to his league before game time.
Depends on how many IDPs you draft. Most leagues are like one LB, one DL, one DB, and a flex D player. Some do 2+ of each and those are ridiculous. It only becomes a headache usually when you draft more than one for each position. I usually don't do them
Well I can't fault anyone for making that decision. It is a smart move if your league allowed it. Congrats.
Because that was basically Webbs floor tonight, and would be a very good game for the best WR's.
To be fair I knew it involved defenses but not to what degree or how many players start at what position. I couldn't be bothered with that. I'm already comfortable with standard leagues.
yeah, if qb yardage = wr yardage, which is why it doesn't.in my league webb scored a point more than britt's 4/89/1.
Not in my league. That's an 8 point night.You guy's would've been screwed if he actually played a good WR this week, like Jerome Simpson
In my experience the best way to include IDPs is to field a full defense of 11 players (12-14 team leagues). I don't even care about offense only leagues anymore, after this year I will have succesfully dumped them all.
If that's your attitude then you deserve to lose.(Unless your league's rules specifically forbid Webb to start at WR, in which case I apologize in advance.)
He filled in at WR for a while when Harvin was injured. He got into one game for a couple plays but didn't have any targets or catches.
This, only way ive ever played FF. And I couldnt imagine ever playing with TDEF. only i play 16 team leagues. 12 is just too much talent left on waiver.
He played a couple of snaps in 1 game with no targets. Oh my bad I stand corrected.
!
Yeah, it really depends on your scoring system. In my league, that's 12 points., but Webb carries the risk of negative points with INTs. I don't think that his realistic upside was worth the risk in my scoring system. I didn't start him, but I wouldn't have been upset if an opponent took the risk. In an advantageous scoring system, I guess I would have given a tip of my hat to my opponent for picking up Webb first. It is what it is.
We have 53 man rosters, but I hear you.
