this MB is the best FF info on the net. I would pay to get on this MB
I was waiting for the offer to help him transfer a large sum of money into the country for a small fee.
DD is a good tool. But that's all it is, a tool. If you use it with some other tools you can end up with a pretty good team. Just using DD isn't the best of ideas. Lineup Dominator helps sometimes, but data changes so fast, for example Travis Henry wasn't even on the cheatsheets until the end of this week.You have to use all the info here to be successful, not just parts of it.
I disagree. I would asssume that whoever puts together the projections has already taken into account all of the info presented.
I think some people have a strange concept of what all of these tools are for, which is an odd downside to the sophisticated level of resources that this site provides. They complain that Draft Dominator didn't get them a good team, but that's like complaining that your expensive nail gun failed to build you a good house. All these things are are tools to aid your decisionmaking, but make no mistake, it's your decisionmaking (combined with a lot of dumb luck - welcome to FF!) that ultimately makes or breaks your team.
good schtick here
The forums are also a good source of info. Pre-draft you need to take the DD, all of the projections, plus all of the forum info into account. Then cross reference that will multiple other sites. That is what helps give you a competitive FF team. If you just come online a few days before your draft download DD then of course you won't do so hot.
Ultimately, a lot of fantasy football is random. We're searching for "the truth." We want to know how many yards player X will run for today. And every website that provides forecasts gives us their best estimate of the truth.But of course there's a HUGE confidence interval around those forecasts. What if player X gets injured? What if his team falls behind by 3 TD's in the first quarter and they abandon the run? Then he'll be closer to the 10th percentile of his possible performances in thisgame. Alternatively, what if he runs for an 80 yard TD on his first carry? He'll probably end up closer to the 90th percentile.If they played the game 100 times, player X's average performance would probably be pretty close to the forecast. But they only play the game once. Unfortunately, from the tone of your post it sounds like you're getting a lot of 10th percentile performances rather than 90th percentile performances.That's the nature of fantasy football. Personally, I think it sucks and that's why I prefer fantasy baseball to fantasy football -- more games -> less randomness over the course of the season -> luck is less of a factor.
I agree. I used DD, and I didn't blindly follow what it said. I'm on the forums all the time, but, quite frankly, you will get EVERY opinion about a player on the forums. You will get evrything from "I am drafting this guy in every league" to "I would never draft that idiot" about each guy.Someone mentioned luck, and that is all it is. I agree.It's pointless to argue. The guys that pay will always pay, the guys that don't never will. Whatever makes you happy. It's like a typical FFA Friday religion topic.
I like that feature, just like I like LD. Problem is, it has been wrong for me all year. Whatever.
When did you download LD?? If you download it on a Wed. it will be out of date on Sat.
I update it every time I open it. Usually Wed/Fri/Sun
Well that's good, at least you are getting up to the minute info. I was thinking you may be using outdated versions of LD. Personally I don't like it too much, I use it in addition to cheatsheets, plus what I get off other sites. As well as my own projections, which I guess just amounts to my "gut" feelings.
Not trying to be a jerk here, But maybe your team just isn't good enough. It tougher to figure out projections to the likes of I. Hilliard, Thomas Jones then the typical "stud".
Would you mind posting your team here? I'd be curious to see what you have to work with. Also - if you post your current team, which players did you pick up via free agency or trade?
Totally valid point. The guys that were supposed to be studs for me (FWP, Henry, Gore, MJD, Brees) have killed me. Those were the guys FBG had ranked higher than other sites, so I went with them. In my three leagues I am probably going to be 2-14 after this week.
If to forse come back to they. 
Parker and Henry are two of the top 5 rushers so far this year...
