Maybe you should get out of that 3 team league..
That's pretty bold stuff there.
i agree with kicking. if you don't kick, and you go for 2, and don't get it, you are down 10-8. if the lions score again, it is 17-8. you need two scores. if you kicked, it is 17-9 and you can tie with a TD and then 2-pointer. i don't believe chasing points early is the right move. take what is there, even if it is only 1 point.Andy Dufresne said:

Peterson had less than 10 points in all my leagues due to his fumbles. Peterson hasn't been bad this year. I think he is roughly the #10 RB in all my leagues. The expectation were just ridiculously high entering the year.
Brad Childress?
Really? 111 rushing yards absolutely killed you last week? I understand it was the Lions and expectations were high, but it's not like Peterson dropped single-digit rushing totals. Peterson did that to his owners last year. Now that absolutely killed a lot of us. But 111 yards? That's a very good fantasy day for any RB.
Not only were the expectations high, but his fumbles may have cost some Peterson owners a win. His rushing total looks decent, but subtract those four points from the fumbles and it's more like he ran for 71 yards instead of a buck eleven.
You subtract two points for a fumble? That seems a little excessive.
But yea, in a league like that one then I can see the problems. Honestly, though, that really does seem excessive for a turnover. It means a guy would have to run for 140-150 yards to put up a good day and how often does something like that happen? Not trying to rip on your league but that seems like a lot of negative points to give for a fumble. 
I play in a league where it's -5. Needless to say, a 2 point performance has me targeting him as his value is probably as low as it can be.You subtract two points for a fumble? That seems a little excessive.

Instead of being a Hall of Famer, Warren Moon in your league would have been one of the worst fantasy QB's of all time.
That's true. But it's not what Childress said.Very
No, you go for 2 there so you know the way you need to play later on. Your way you are still going for 2 anyway. I would rather know if I need to go from a hurry up or not, why wait and find out you didn't make it too late? Never understood the logic of waiting? Plus in this case he could have tied it
Wait, are you saying that Childress did something smart? Just stop, my head is going to explode.
-2 for fumbles.
-2 per INT or fumble lost is the norm in most leagues.You subtract two points for a fumble? That seems a little excessive.But yea, in a league like that one then I can see the problems.

Nope, I am too. I'd have to guess that the only ones who aren't satisfied are the ones who projected 2500 yds and 20+ TDs this off-season. He is a RB1 in all my leagues scoring. I had him ranked around RB5. No issues with him at all.He's averaging 103 total yds and .5 TDs a game thus far.
I play in 4 leagues. None of them are -2-2 per INT or fumble lost is the norm in most leagues.You subtract two points for a fumble?

I don't think I've ever played in a league that doesn't take points away for fumbles lost and ints. Peterson had 106 total yds and 2 fumbles lost. At best that is 8.6 points in most leagues. I also play in leagues where points are taken away for just fumbling the ball, regardless of if it was lost or not. So that could add on another point lost as he fumbled 3. The highest take away I've seen is -3 for fumbles lost. In that league Peterson amassed only 4.6 points. Yeah, that kind of total is going to kill a lot of owners.-2 per INT or fumble lost is the norm in most leagues.You subtract two points for a fumble?

I'm in more than 4 and all are -2 for all turnovers. Peterson had a whopping 7.1 pts last week.I play in 4 leagues. None of them are -2-2 per INT or fumble lost is the norm in most leagues.You subtract two points for a fumble? That seems a little excessive.
My favorite league is -3 for INT or Fuble Lost, but we also get .1 pts for a carry or completion.-2 per INT or fumble lost is the norm in most leagues.You subtract two points for a fumble? That seems a little excessive.
you want some?
