Any week that the Vikings win a game and the Packers don't is a good week.

165 points (and counting, with Steelers D to play), top in the league this week, won my matchup by 40+, and all without my boy Aaron Rodgers. And in the driver's seat in my division. 2 more wins, and in.
And I'm Wacko for Flacco!

and had Sidney rice 18 points Cecil shorts 16 points and Torrey smith 19 points all on the bench lol. Some weeks just go this wayLooking @ 3-1 this week despite leaving Greg Olsen (22 pts), Danny Amendola (10 pts), and Darrius Heywood-Bey (14pts) on my bench in multiple leagues. Sometimes you can do everything right and lose; this week I made some bad choices and still managed to end up with a good week.

Had a nice week. But again my opponent is going to put up a top 3 score. Scoring average in this league is about 120. I am likely to go 4-6.....in my 6 losses, my opponents have scored between 139-175.5......at least 19 pts higher than average. I have the most points scored against me by a big margin.
This week, my opponent lost McFadden, had other RBs on bye so he had to pick up someone off the WW.....that RB was Chris Ivory and his 56 yard TD. He also had Torrey Smith with 2 receptions, both for TDs, Heyward-Bey has to find the endzone this week, and Peterson breaks off a 61 yd TD. He gets a TD pass from Romo to Dez that was clearly not a catch.
Sometimes it's just not your year.

I hope no one was looking for 1-2 pts from Redman tonight. Fumbled the ball early in the game and hasn't seen the ball since.
Needed 7 got 1.

Thankfully I was playing the only team out there worse than mine (and having Matt Ryan and Calvin going off did not hurt...made up for a starting RB crew of Bradshaw, Turner, and Jennings).Snuck out a win by 3.84 (thanks to the last 2 FGs by Suisham pulling me ahead of his Wallace points)

After his first 21 carries he had 100 yards, on the 22nd ( a goal line carry) he lost two yards. I won my match up, but it did cost me weekly points title. So I'm wondering, did anyone actually lose because of this (I'm assuming it would happen by losing your 100 yard bonus)?
Entered tonight's PIT-KC game down by 20 points and I had Charles and Bowe.
With 0:22 left in the 4th quarter:
- KC was 4th and 15 against the #1 pass defense in the NFL.
- I was down by 3 FF points and needed at least 22 yards from Bowe or 24 yards from Charles to get my 3 points and a tie.
- Cassel completes to Bowe for 27 yards, giving me a tie.
Overtime:
- KC's only play to gain yards was a handoff to Charles for 4 yards gives Charles 100 yds and me +1 point for the win, 107-106.
Of course, after taking the time to make this brag post, I fully expect a stat change early Thursday morning to reverse my win, and if so, I won't be returning to this thread because I'll be drinking a gallon of bleach.

Squeaked out a win but destroyed my last hope sin the process. Now 3-7 but have Vick, Murray, Sproles all out which means virtually no production from qb, rb1 and rb2 for the remiander of the regular season. Nothing on the wire so inless Ivory and Redman and Tannehill play out of their skulls this season is effectively over.
Because that's how his league's scoring works?
Not everyone's league is exactly like yours (or mine). Some leagues are PPR, some are not. Some leagues are TD only, some are TD and yardage. Some leagues are decimal scoring, some are benchmark. Why act like it's unheard of for this kind of scoring rule to exist?

They probably haven't been playing for 20 years. That's from back in the 90's. We still use it today. I remember when QB's could run for a TD and get twice hat anyone else got. Mark Rypien one time scored 2 - 1 yard TDs and got me 24 points. That was all he got. 2 plays, 2 yards, 2 TDs, 24 points. We nixed that ridiculousness the next year.Because that's how his league's scoring works?

A lot of leagues give bonus points for players hitting milestones. Say an RB would get an additional 5 points for breaking 100 yards or a QB would receive an additional 5 points for throwing over 400 yards. I don't like leagues like this because it puts Doug Martin's big day up to a 90 point game instead of "just" a 50 point game. It makes it impossible to come back from if you have a player that has a monster game. Some people prefer these leagues though.
My league still uses it. WR/RB get a point for going over 100, QBs for going over 300. It's also an IDP league so it gives offensive players a little more of an advantage over D, which is why we intend to keep it.
We did away with it a few years, but went back about 5 years ago. I like the fact that players are awarded for a large accumulation of yards...consistent play, or big play ability. Tips the balance away from a guy like Mike Tolbert of last year...a guy that comes in and vultures TDs. Both are important, but TD heavier leagues down play guys that make consistent plays...at least more so than a league with yardage bonuses.

Slightly facetious, no? My league gave Martin and extra 2 pts. One for hitting 100 and a second for hitting 200. That is the max bonus he could have received. I'd imagine most leagues that give bonuses are closer to 2pts, not 5.
While giving a QB 12 points for a single TD sounds extreme, if that is/was your league's scoring rules, then it is what it is. It doesn't make your league right or wrong, so why ridicule a league that has different scoring rules than yours?They probably haven't been playing for 20 years. That's from back in the 90's.

Your bonuses seem fair. I saw people posting on here that he scored over 70 points in that game. I think I remember someone saying over 90. You don't get points that high without ridiculous bonuses.

Huh? Not seeing where I ridiculed him. in fact I said we use that same bonus today at 100 yards. 12 pts for a guy just becasue of his position WAS ridiculous, when everyone else gets 6.While giving a QB 12 points for a single TD sounds extreme, if that is/was your league's scoring rules, then it is what it is.

Why would you get a bonus point for a RB/WR/TE catching a ball? Leagues that give a bonus for an achievement like 100 yards gained make a whole lot more sense to me than leagues who give a point for every catch.

5 pts per 100 AND bonus for length of TD!!!!!! His td's were worth 12, 12, 15 and 6 !!!

Because people are stupid.
Wow, yeah, that seems ridiculous. I know some leagues also give extra points for big plays too. A 50 yard TD could result in 6 for the TD + 5 for the yards + 2-3 for the 50+ yard play and possibly another 2-5 (?) for potentially breaking a yardage mark. A single 50 yard play could result in close to 20 pts. Your league games could be won or lost on a single broken (or missed) tackle...even more so than they can now.
Sorry-I was referring to an earlier post that sarcastically asked why you would score those points (getting 100 yards) differently than other yards. I didn't realize before that it wasn't your post.Huh?

Big fat zero points out of him this week........lost by 1
Was winning my matchup 82-81, my opponent had Jamal Charles, his LAST carry in overtime gets him 4 yards and gets him to 100 yards exactly and another 4 points, I lose 85-82 The very next play was the interception that ended the game......Where's my Bitter Berry!

Gving small one point bonuses at yardage markers is just a way to weight yardage more hevaily in relation to td's. It's dumb to have a 5 point bonus at 100 and 0 point bonus at 99, but a one point bonus at several markers is good IMO as it lessens the impact slightly of td's.

It's no wonder posting in here is down. The people on these forum's that consider themselves big dogs in fantasy (real cool thing to be a big dog in) decide to piss all over anyone that says anything they think is weird. 100 yard bonuses are present in a lot of leagues, and I was just trying to see if this affected other people. I think their are certain mental complexes that need to be fulfilled by the people that come in here trying (and failing) to be sarcastically funny. I laugh at those people and I'm sorry that you are the reason for the further deterioration of the shark pool.

The worst scoring idea ever. Surpasses the 300 yards passing bonus, which comes in a close 2nd.

You still haven't explained why this thread belongs here. Who cares if Stevan Ridley came two yards short of winning a game for you or anyone else? This happens with every player in every game. You don't want to see "how it affects other people", you just want to talk about your game, which doesn't matter to anyone.I won because my guy went 101 yards and his guy went 98 and I won by 1.I won because his QB had 11 rushing yards, then took two knees and finished with 9.I lost because my WR stepped out of bounds at the 1....those are all things written on the shirt. Instead of starting a new thread, next time, just
This is my first proper season of fantasy football and I am loving it, however...
-I have the most points scored in the league, yet I am 5-5 and on the verge of missing playoffs (appears to be a regular occurrence!)
-I have lost a lot of close games and games to the highest scoring team of the week which is fine, but I fell victim to Jim fricken Harbaugh's declined safety, dropping an incredibly important game by 1.5 points 
Since that game my 49ers D has been atrocious.
-I also lost a game because for some reason Mike Smith wanted to go for it on 4th down instead of chipping in a field goal, despite leading late in a game a few weeks ago...I proceeded to lose that game by under 3 points.
-This isn't so much about FF but I decided to join the Rotoworld forums to get advice on my team, no more than 12 hours after joining did the forums get hacked and they are still down, hence I ma joining you guys
Anywho, it's been a rough start to my fantasy football career but I'm loving it so far!

Proud owner of Darren McFadden, DeMarco Murray, Antonio Brown, and Kevin Smith (dropped)...in a deep league where I spent approximately 60% of my budget on. Not to mention Darius Heyward-Bey finally showing some life and then pulling his hamstring in practice. Can't catch a break with all these injuries.
