Right - like I said, most of the times i got it wrong was the 1st month.
Well that is what I have been doing for 23 years - but the point being our rule would be okay if there was any latitude. There are times when despite your planning, a late scratch occurs and you can't field a full lineup through no fault of your own. If you did not plan for your byes it is one thing, but if you have used your bench spots to cover byes and injuries happen beyond what you can cover with your 3 roster moves there should be leeway. Slippery slope, I know but it sucks to have plans in place and then even your plans are derailed. Even if they added a proviso that exceptions can be made due to injury so that no team has to field an incomplete lineup I would be okay with it. There would have to be some sort of penalty - i.e., the player you pick up you have to drop the player he is replacing or something like that - but even that could get tricky with a shady owner.
This f'n hobby. Went into full rebuild mode a couple weeks back, and traded away Bortles, Bell, AJG and Watkins.
In a doubleheader league. It helps a bit unless you're the league's whipping boy, which I am. Most points against by a 150 margin and growing...travdogg said:
Same boat - lost Ertz prior to game time so had to start Crabtree, Nelson and Funchess. At the start of the season those three would have been gold - now, not so much. Think the fantasy gods are starting to call me out on my ridiculous overperforming players in the beginning of the season.
Same boat. Last week, it was Hilton who blew up....this week....Ingram.
I feel like they are usually crappy games(although that could easily be disproven by looking at past schedules, but I'm too lazy to do that right now)...but, at the very least the early Lions-Vikings game looks to be a good one with a lot on the line. So, at least we have something!
Lost Jones and Freeman and ended up with the 2nd lowest point total of the week because of it. Fortunately, I played the team with the lowest point total and am still in decent playoff position. Now that I'm down 4 starting RBs and an all-pro receiver, I'm not sure it will make any difference. My managerial skills/luck will be put to test this year.
