Denarius Moore went from 39.3% owned after week 9 to 51.4% owned after week 10.B. Tate is up to 57%Antonio Brown is now 58.8%

Yup, I have all three. My team is being carried by heavily owned players, which means I need someone else to step up down the stretch. Common Mark Clayton!

Ditto...go Patrick Crayton

 

[BassNBrew]

Ignoratio, any chance you could provide the updated number of rosters that have made it in all, but one week? If it's too much work, don't bother, obviously. Thanks in advance.

2,498 rosters have missed the cut one week but otherwise would have made the cut every other week.

Thanks!

700 trimmed last week.

Very curious to see how many fellow Mike Wallace/Antonio Brown owners get OBLITERATED in Week 11.Hoping Denarius Moore carries the day and that Harry Douglas' showing wasn't a fluke. Otherwise, I'm probably dust.

I'm a Wallace/Antonio Brown owner, and I have Daniels/Dreessen on a bye too. My only healthy TE playing this week will be Evan Moore, and he has had goose eggs in some of the weeks. * looks like Kendricks is probable so I'll have him too.I too am hoping for a repeat from Denarius Moore and Harry Douglas.

 

[BassNBrew]

There's actually a team that has my 6 most expensive players on their roster and is still alive. I share 13 of their 23 players with 6 of those 10 different selections at D/K/TE.

 

[BassNBrew]

Can one of you smart guys with too much time on your hands who are programming/database experts run that spreadsheet showing how many players each team is starting next week by roster size. Wouldn't mind if you deleted the guys listed as out

I don't have a list of players that are out. If someone else wants to compile that I can feed it through the DB. But here are the numbers just excluding players who are on bye week 11:
9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 3018 1 4 18 45 69 75 46 19 6 19 2 4 12 22 40 37 19 8 1 20 6 3 16 29 29 29 16 6 21 2 5 17 27 35 23 18 7 22 2 2 5 18 32 33 30 10 2 23 9 13 29 30 23 8 2 24 1 2 16 15 27 28 19 8 25 1 2 2 8 16 22 27 9 7 1 26 1 1 5 4 21 27 16 18 3 4 1 27 1 4 5 12 15 15 17 5 1 28 3 7 17 23 28 10 3 29 2 1 8 12 16 16 14 2 30 3 3 18 27 24 26 7 3 1 ETA: That's roster size down the left-hand side, actual active (non week 11 bye) players across the top, and number of live entries in the table. So, for example, there's one 18-man roster who only has 9 active players this week.

Does someone want to help with this list? We'll need to update it on Friday with the guys listed as out.QB - Mcnabb, Grossman, Cassel, Manning, Schuab, Campbell, Henne

Mike Wallace and Mario Manningham are my next two most expensive (both cost more than Benson).

You need at least 10 kickers on your roster next year.

I'm likely one of these. Week 11 wasnt supposed to be a problem for me, however:Vincent Jackson - sucks, and is playing the bearsM. Manningham - last few weeks has been ok, but has to compete with cruz and the worlds fattest tight endM. Sims-Walker - sucks, and is now on IR.B. Berrian - why in gods name did i contaminate my roster with this piece of feces?!?M. Wallace - stud on byeA. Brown - stud on byeGonna need Brady, ADP and Hernandez to show up big this week.

Nice roster... same WR here. VJax, Manningham, Berrian, Wallace, A.BrownI also have McCluster and Steve Smith (PHI)Gonna need Rodgers to do his usual thing and Forte & Rice to show up big.

Here's wishing to a big defensive week all around the nfl. Killing myself for taking Kolb and L K at TE. All others have contributed.

 

[5-ish Finkle]

Killing myself for taking Kolb and L K at TE. All others have contributed.

Kolb's likely to escort me out of the contest this week too. Not really "killing myself" for it, I only was relying on him being able to contribute one week, unfortunately it's this one.Ah well, hopefully my studs play like studs and I somehow sneak past.

 

[Nugget]

Week 11 is going to be brutal for me. Beanie, Reggie, and MBIII are my only backs, with Evan Moore as the lone TE. I need Julio Jones and Malcom Floyd to find the field again this week. Hopefully most of you are in similar situations.

27 of 30 have contributed - no points from Andre Roberts($9), Derrick Ward),and($3)Roscoe Parrish($2).

 

[kutta]

Pretty amazing that half of my WR's are hurt or out for the season, and the other half are low-tier guys, and I'm still in:

Jordan Shipley

Bernard Berrian

Lee Evans

Malcolm Floyd

Roscoe Parish

Mario Manningham

Jordy Nelson

Harry Douglas

Antonio Brown

Denarius Moore

 

[JB Breakfast Club]

This is the week Deji Karim blows up...right? If McFadden and Felix are both out, he has to play for me. He's the only player who hasn't counted for me yet, so he might as well go nuts!

10 teams remain with the McFadden, Felix, Hightower combination...good luck, fellas!

 

[kevzilla]

I've put up 603 points the last three weeks. I might be peaking early.

 

[ditka...mike ditka]

I wonder how many people who are still in this, have no idea they are in fact still in it. I am sure there are a number of people who filled this out then just forgot about it, or don't check.

Another note, I am worried about this week as well, but reading this thread makes me feel a slight bit better (ever so slight) as it seems like quite a few poeple are hurting this week. Maybe a low cut line?

The counter-balance to that is that unfortunately 37.5% of the entries get cut this week. Pretty scary no matter how many guys you have going this week -QG

Has anyone taken the time to give a Uniqueness Grade to the remaining teams? I seem to recall that in year's past. It would be interesting to see.

This should be my last week, between week 11 byes and injuries my chances are slim. For RB's I will be missing:

DMac, Hardesty and Hightower I have only Wells, Starks and Hunter to go. WR's are worse with Wallace and Brown on bye plus J. Jones and Evans hurt and Berrian a flop, I only only have Manningham and D. Moore expected to play.

Philip Rivers

Sam Bradford

Darren McFadden

Chris Wells

James Starks

Tim Hightower

Kendall Hunter

Montario Hardesty

Mike Wallace

Mario Manningham

Julio Jones

Lee Evans

Bernard Berrian

Antonio Brown

Denarius Moore

Aaron Hernandez

Greg Olsen

Lance Kendricks

Rob Bironas

Josh Brown

Shaun Suisham

Dallas Cowboys

Tampa Bay Buccaneers

Houston Texans

 

[WisWolvrns]

At this point I'm wishing I had D.Moore... With Palmer schooling him up and typically a lock on one WR type of QB... Moore could be the big difference maker down the stretch. Almost 30% of the remaining rosters own him... If he tanks this week, that will probably push many of the rosters owning him out in this last bye week... if he does well, then more of them will survive and the top 250 will probably be dominated by rosters with him...

I just have to remember the logic behind Harrison was sound with Best being injury prone so the backup RB in Detroit could be solid at some point... albeit... he didn't pan out as the back for the same reason...

 

[Saint]

Hmm... I am the only roster left with 3 of my most expensive guys alive (Brady/Calvin/SJax). This should be an interesting week as the last bye of the season with a lot of folks out.

Sorted them by points contributed to my total per dollar spent. I had 1 tie for the defense 1 week (so I split that 50/50) and had 2 kickers tie in two different weeks (so I split those).By position group:QB - $48 299.6 points 6.24 PP$RB - $80 321.2 points 4.02 PP$WR - $77 511.1 points 6.64 PP$TE - $29 303.5 points 10.47 PP$PK - $7 120 points 17.14 PP$TD - $9 119 points 13.22 PP$What does it all mean? -QG

Played around with this a bit. Here's my breakdown by position:QB - $37 295.20 points, 7.98 PP$RB - $68 327.60 points, 4.82 PP$WR - $106 611.00 points, 5.76 PP$TE - $25 155.50 points, 6.22 PP$PK - $6 114.00 points, 19.00 PP$TD - $8 117.00 points, 14.63 PP$ Now, if I sort my team by PP$, here's the top 5:1) Olindo Mare (PK)2) Denarius Moore (WR)3) Buffalo Bills (TD)4) Dexter McCluster (WR)5) Phil Dawson (PK)This seems a little skewed as everyone is cheap and it definitely slants to the PK-TD area based on the # of pts they put up for a cheap player. This is why I believe the Contributed Points per $ spent is a skewed metric. So, let's look at the Top 5 based on # of times used. Then the list looks like this:1) Calvin Johnson (WR) - 9 starts2) Tom Brady (QB) - 8 starts3) Owen Daniels (TE) - 8 starts4) Reggie Bush (RB) - 7 starts5) Steven Jackson (RB) - 7 startsThis looks more interesting as the PK and TDs drop off. That tells me there is probably more variability in how well that the TD/PK do each week. Bottom-line, I think it's luck on who scores how many points in those two positions, which is why I target the el cheapo players there as I think the value evens out with 3 of each.So let's look from one more perspective. I call this value per week, which is the total points used divided by # of times started. Now the Top 5 look like this:1) Tom Brady (QB)2) Denarius Moore (WR)3) Calvin Johnson (WR)4) Vincent Jackson (WR)5) Chris Wells (RB)The interesting aspect is that Brady, Moore, and Johnson end up in the top 5 category twice.What does this mean?

This seems a little skewed as everyone is cheap and it definitely slants to the PK-TD area based on the # of pts they put up for a cheap player. This is why I believe the Points per $ spent is a skewed metric.

You need to use VBD points per dollar, not total points.

Calbear, can you go into more detail on VBD in this regard? I used the total points contributed in the calculation, not total points scored.

A kicker contributing 50 points doesn't give you much value if the average kicker contributed 45 points. You need to measure points over some established baseline against the dollars spent. You can probably use something like QB12, RB28, WR40, TE16, K12, D12.The cool way to do it would be to look at each of those numbers on a per-week basis, and give players credit for the number of points they scored over those baselines every week. If the QB baseline is 15 points in a given week, and you had two QBs who scored 30 and 31 points, the one who scored 30 produced 15 value points, even though you didn't happen to use him that week. That's if you're trying to figure out which players have been the most productive.

Hmm... I am the only roster left with 3 of my most expensive guys alive (Brady/Calvin/SJax). This should be an interesting week as the last bye of the season with a lot of folks out.

I'm one of two with Brady, Forte and Fitzgerald, and also one of two with Brady, Forte and Marshall (and only one with the 4). Hoping Skelton and Moore continue to improve, as they hold the keys to my potential success.Interestingly (to me), the other two teams in common are 18 man rosters.

Well, it was a good ride but finally looks to be coming to an end this week. Thanks to byes (Mendenhall, P.Thomas, Tate) and injuries (Hightower, Goodson), I am left with only Tolbert and McGahee at RB this week.

Oh pleeeeeeease let Willis play!!

I bet McGahee plays but the Jets run D may shut him down. With Tebow under center, I would think Ryan plays a DB up close to the line. Who knows though.

Anyone want to guess which player has the highest "survival rate for teams with this player" so far? For example, 4,236 entries had Stafford, and 750 of them are still alive, so the survival rate for teams with Stafford is 750 / 4236 = 17.7%.

My guesses:QB - NewtonRB - F JacksonWR - A BrownTE - GrahamIs there a limit on #of entries for a player? A super sleeper like Murray probably has a really high survivor rate, but I bet less than 100 started with him.

But if I had to guess just one I think it would be Jimmy Graham.

Good question.For those who guessed above, Jimmy Graham is the correct answer if we limit it to players on 100 or more rosters. He was on 1390 rosters, and 448 are still alive, for a survival rate of 32.2% (compare to the overall survival rate of 14.9%).There is one player with a higher survival rate than Graham, but this player was on fewer than 100 rosters at the beginning of the contest. It's not Demarco Murray.

Graham hasn't had a bye yet and has proabbly helped owners virtually every week he played...so probably right....one week under 16 pointsNewton is a good guess too....probably taken as a backup....

Damian WilliamsDelanie Walkeruhhh....Beckmaybe Brees.....he was pretty pricey and might not have been on many due to late bye week...

 

[QuizGuy66]

Hmm, how about Tavaris Jackson?

I'm guessing it's otherwise someone random who was a handcuff of some sort.

The 100-roster requirement means they were on less than 1% of entries. That pretty much takes out the kickers and defenses probably.

Anyhow that's my first guess without looking at the list of players available.

My secondary guess would be Ponder.

I think I found the answer - but I don't wanna spoil it right away so I'll a spoiler box.

I looked at Drinen's original owned percentage. One name really jumped out amid the mess:

David Nelson.

wow, all of my guesses were wrong, even the spoiler one (which surprised me). Gotta be someone hilarious.
