I'm actually certain that Barber will have value in this contest at some point. But clearly, Tate has far more upsideUnfortunately, I will join you in this club.I had Ben Tate on my roster for several iterations and decided to go with Marion Barber instead

Thanks guys, appreciate it!'Saint said:
I had 122 points......midway through the 4:00 games, that is.I lost Roscoe Parrish to IR and Hernandez for a few weeks. I should be OK for a bit thanks to some of my other hits.
One thing you have to remember is that the cut-line would move up as well. So would that first guy still make it or would the line move up too much?-QG
I think this brings up a great point. Imo, it's better to take the player you're high on, than to downgrade and take 2 players your not as high on. We get caught up in the large rosters vs small rosters debate, but I think the most important thing is to have a roster with the right players.
But what if he took Nelson $4, and McCluster $2 instead. All those inexpensive guys are your lottery tickets and that is why you go with the bigger roster to try to hit on one or two of them. Decker was a lottery ticket as well but at $6 opposed to $4 or $2.
Of course it could have worked out well for him. But if he thought Decker was a lottery ticket with a 6% of hitting vs. Nelson and McCluster with 2% and 1% chance of hitting, he's probably better off keeping Decker. If he thought Decker, Parrish and Shipley had about the same chance of hitting, then he was correct to switch them out, even though it didn't work out for him.The outcome (bad in his case, "good" in your case) doesn't change whether it was a "correct" decision.
Shouldn't they be reinstated in the contest if that's the case? Does the contest not use the official stats?
Pretty much every fantasy football league and contest that has ever existed has the same rule, give or take a day or two. You have to have a deadline somewhere.
If you are that close in week 2, you have no chance. HTH
The bolded part above is the key. Move the deadline further out in the week to solve the problem. It's not like stat changes happens weeks after the games. It's usually just a day or two.Pretty much every fantasy football league and contest that has ever existed has the same rule, give or take a day or two. You have to have a deadline somewhere.
Untrue.
It seems like the winning teams often skated by multiple weeks in the contest before blowing up at the end.
I agree. I feel awful for those teams, but the rules and guidelines were set before the contest started. Playing devil's advocate here, but what if they made the cut, but stats were changed and they no longer made the cut? Would you say they should be cut from the contest?'Irrelevant said:Pretty much every fantasy football league and contest that has ever existed has the same rule, give or take a day or two.

Rules are important and that's why the deadline is in there. Fair or unfair, that's just the way it is. I would be very upset if I make the right call and lost because some statistician messed up the box score. Your losing entry can still win, just do it in the court room. File a lawsuit against the person(s) involved who made the number crunching mistake and the NFL. Their gross negligence in processing the correct information had a direct negative impact on your wallet and thousands of others. You have proof to back it up. If the NFL statistician screwed up, they should be liable for the damage caused by their negligence.Yes.I agree.

Feel the same way. Missing Wells, Manningham, and Amendola. And Dez and Felix are gimpy too. Might be my exit week already.
Feeling you... I'm out RB: Jackson, Wells, Barber? Means I'm relying on Reggie Bush and Bernard Scott.
I am probably taking a zero. I would kill for Bush and Scott.Feeling you... I'm out RB: Jackson, Wells, Barber? Means I'm relying on Reggie Bush and Bernard Scott.
), Redman, V Jax, S Moss, Plax, L Evans, Ant Brown, D Moore, F Davis, Suisham, Feely, Dal, and Arizona to go.Nevermind. I am at 158 with A Brown -7.8. I am feeling good.
