If Vincent Jackson scored a fraction less than his whopping 6.40, I'd be on the outside looking in. I made it by exactly 6.40. Scary.

No, if Vincent Jackson scored a fraction less than 6.40, you would have made it by a fraction less than 6.40.

Because he affects the cut line proportionately?

No, because if you "made it by exactly 6.40", it means you scored 111.30 points(104.90 + 6.40). If Jackson scored 6.00, you'd have scored 110.90 and still made it by 6 points.

No, if Vincent Jackson scored a fraction less than 6.40, you would have made it by a fraction less than 6.40.

No because you made it by 6.4. So if he only scored say 6, that .4 would maybe move the cut line down .05 pts. But you still would have made it by around 5.95.

 

[Sister Havana]

Looks like I will be done at 110.4.

Amazingly enough...I squeaked by this week! This was my heavy RB bye week. Next week will be my heavy WR bye week.

 

[jdoggydogg]

149.80

Despite the worst RB corps in the contest, my WRs continue to carry my team.

 

[jdoggydogg]

That Steve Breaston pick finally paid off!

Joel Dreessen finally counted for me. I scored 161, but i have a lot of players that have not counted for me so far, and I don't know if they ever will. Those players are Stephens-Howling, M. Barber, D. Ward, H. Douglas, B. Berrian, Massaquoi, and Kendricks. I think Massaquoi may have the strongest chance of counting for me in the future, but the others may be wasted money. All of these players are the ones I switched in and out the most through the drafting process. I don't mind having M. Barber though since I have Forte.

Yeah. For me, my worst pick so far has been Lee Evans. He's been hurt, so I hope he gets healthy quick.

The three most survivingist players on my roster:

Owen Daniels - 73.26% of his owners are still alive.

Buffalo Defense - 69.30%

Denarius Moore - 66.53%

(par per the querier is 56.80% btw)

Out of the 160 entries that have all 3 of these (Daniels, Moore, Buffalo) - 149 are still alive. 93.1%

-QG

 

[GDogg]

Just to update myself...

I would have squeaked by the cut line this week had I not been cut in week 3. Finished with 113.1.

20-Kicker Guy Lives!

20-Kicker Guy is screwed next week.

 

[jdoggydogg]

Who are your cheap studs? Your overpriced busts?

Studs:

Buffalo Bills $2

Owen Daniels $12

Aaron Hernandez $10

Santana Moss $16

Duds:

Felix Jones $23

Lee Evans $10

 

[smarchit]

135.35....wasn't pretty, but Stafford and Best got it done for me last night, and I get to survive and advance. Live to fight another week!

 

[The Man With No Name]

Don't get discouraged. Last years winner averaged just 157.59 through 5 weeks.

(I am averaging 158.78)

 

[Sinn Fein]

What is the least number of players it takes to be completely unique?

I can do it with three players: Gore, Titans, Hunter

I can actually do it with several combinations, because Gore and Titans together combine for only 2 live teams.

 

[jimmy b]

Really ?.....Really.?........Made it with Rice and Austin at 0.00 counting for me this week.

105.90

I LOVE THIS CONTEST !

I could make this exact same post. Swapped Buffalo for Arizona and ended up with a trio of Zona, Carolina, and St Louis. Clearly my defense is a liability.

Couple of other stats:

In isolation:

[*]180 teams eliminated when Blount went out

[*]112 teams eliminated when Tolbert got his bell rung

[*]112 teams eliminated were upset about AJ's injury

[*]79 teams eliminated when Orton got benched

[*]30 teams eliminated when Addai went down

[*]3 teams eliminated that could have been saved if Tarvaris Jackson could make it through the game

[*]2 teams eliminated when Josh Morgan went down

Having a bad day:

[*]19 teams had Blount and Tolbert

[*]13 teams had Blount and Johnson

[*]7 teams had Johnson and Tolbert

[*]1 team had Blount, Tolbert, and Orton: 104735

Looks like http://subscribers.footballguys.com/contest/2011/107984.php'>this guy did it in two. He was the only team with Jeremiah Johnson and Matt Stafford.

I can go completely unique with Bernard Scott and Kevin Boss... Not sure if that's a good thing or not. Edit: Assuming this is remaining alive teams... I can add any 3rd player and make it work, as there was only 5 of us that had the Scott/Boss combination to begin with... and now my peers are gone.

 

[FUBAR]

I'm not very unique at all. Only way I get to 1 team with 3 players is with my TEs - Daniels, Gresham and Pettigrew. And as we can only use two each week, that's not going to help.

For Me:Buffalo Defense - 69.30%Chris Wells - 68.24%Darren McFadden - 67.02%Gonna be rough for me next week - missing Rivers, Beanie, and Fitzgerald. Will need HUGE weeks from McFadden and Rice to move along, I know.

 

[SouthJersey]

Wow...can't believe I survived this week with all my WRs besides Denarious Moore and Mario Manningham on a bye. Also needed RB production from Javon Ringer.

Gonna need another miracle for week 6 with McNabb as my only QB.

 

[pocketducks]

Not sure if this is what you're looking for but here are roster sizes for Week 5 (not including injuries). Original roster size down the side, "active" roster for week 5 across the top.

Any way we could get the same information as posted in #1762 for week 6 this week?

Projections for the week:

[*]Dodds: 135.8

[*]Bloom: 137.5

 

[5-ish Finkle]

Well, after the early games I'm thinking I'm toast. Just not enough from Big Ben this week to overcome some important byes, I'm afraid.

Would need an ultra low cut line again, or someone going absolutely cuckoo for Cocoa Puffs in the late games. (Aaron Hernandez, I'm looking at you).

 

[Balco]

Oof. What happened to my running backs? I need big games from Rice and Hardesty. Hope cut line is low, I am at 75 now with not many players left.

 

[Deranged Hermit]

Man, I need Forte, Miles Austin and Freeman to have monster games. Having Rivers, Beanie and Fitz on bye is killing me. :(

 

[Irish Chaos]

lol not looking good for me this week....

 

[BassNBrew]

Sitting at 119 and will get anything else Graham, Felix, Reggie-3, Dallas D add from this moment. Had 7 of 30 on bye this week. This is pretty much waht I expected. Hoping to get to 130 to have a chance to survive. Expect the cut to be in the 125 to 135 range.

 

[apalmer]

A lot of Rivers/McCoy teams have to be worrying about now.

 

[FUBAR]

110.05 + Forte (-3), Carpenter (-4), Vikings (-12)

A little nervous if Forte doesn't do well.

 

[JoeSteeler]

Bills def showing 0, is that right?

 

[Cliff Clavin]

A lot of Rivers/McCoy teams have to be worrying about now.

Got that combo. The McCoy to Massaquoi garbage TD might just save me. Was sitting at 112 before that 18+ point play.

 

[JoeSteeler]

That last mccoy TD may have saved me

 

[apalmer]

But McCoy gets some late points to move his numbers up.

was stting at 120.05 but dont have mass

 

[5-ish Finkle]

That late TD to Hernandez may give me a fighting chance. Forte needs to do what he's normally done and I'll perhaps juuuust skate by.

 

[Deranged Hermit]

Uh, go Matt Forte, I really need ya tonight.

 

[norgay]

What would the 5,000 cutoff have been last week?

 

[comfortably numb]

any proj cutoffs?

 

[radiohead417]

Ugh. 109 this week. Gotta think that's it for me.

 

[Balco]

127 with Brandon Marshall (-5.1) left. Not feeling so good.

Beanie off, Hightower doesn't play, leaving me with Ray Rice, Ben Tate, Montario Hardesty, Isaac Redman and Deji Karim. My time is about up. To squeek by in bye weeks like this, you need points from kickers and d's. Buffalo layed an egg and Jacksonville gave me 3.

 

[DWI]

Done with 121.15 heres to a low cut.

133 with 16 from Akers and 7 from the 9ers. Took 3 kickers and 3 defs, which has helped.

 

[JoeSteeler]

at 131.35 + Barber (-6.30)
