You know what would be nice; if we could have a running total of the cut off limit in real time -

Imagine watching the cut number climbing all day; just put it on the main page like a countdown clock.

I can hardly think of anything more fun to watch than the live scoring ticker, as the cutline moved up throgh the day. I know it will never happen, but it would be amazingly cool.

Real-time NFL stats are extremely expensive to license. It's survivor format, you don't need to know that soon to make it worthwhile. Heck, you don't even have to ever look at your team's page ever again, just check your email in 4 months and see if you won. Grab the pencil and paper if you really need to know that fast...

106.8

Shaun Alexander out this week

Peyton, Wayne, Jennings, Gabriel, Franks, Marcedes Lewis, Marcus Washington, Travis Taylor all out next week....

End of the road as I know it!

Never looked at WR BYE weeks....duh!

How much do real time stats from the NFL cost?

What I find interesting about this are guys like Tony Scheffler. He hasn't done squat this year (1 catch for 9 yards), but yet his owners are in general doing very well. Why? Because people who picked Scheffler are probably people who filled out lineups late and were generally paying attention.

Correlation is not causation, as we all know. Having Scheffler on your team does not cause success (at least it hasn't yet), but apparently it correlates with some factors that do.

Just an observation.

Interesting. I hadn't thought about that. I have Scheffler. I think that a lot of tinkering really helped my decisions. I started early, and would come back to my lineup after ignoring it for a few days and say to myself, "Oh, I don't want that guy on my team after all." Not all my decisions have worked out so far (Fitzgerald ), but the tinkering over a long period did work out for me.

 

[jdoggydogg]

You know, one interesting thing got me thinking about this contest and FF in general:

When I picked Rudi Johnson as my #1 RB, he was about my 6th choice as my #1 RB. I had other top guys in that slot to start, but I had reservations about those guys. The guys that I didn't pay for, and I am glad, are RBs that were either way too expensive (Shaun Alexander, Tiki Barber) or didn't have a proven track record of success (Ronnie Brown).

The lesson I take from this type of contest is paying too high a price for one guy is a big mistake. That has worked for my RBs, but it's killing me for my WRs (Fitzgerald.).

I have Scheffler and Miller.

I really drank the Ben Watson coolaid this year. I wish I had stuck with Miller as my #1 TE.

Yeah, and aside from the Fitz's of the world letting you down, what does one do with injuries. Depth and health are huge in this game.

 

[QuizGuy66]

Wow only 8% of the people left have LT2? And I'm one of the lucky 48.4% to have survived with him on my roster.

Update, 4 guys haven't contributed yet to my weekly scores. Total cost: $7. I've gotten points from a $6, $4, and a $2, not counting kickers.

Same here.

 

[Robbie Cooper]

I think the real interesting stats are thos where more than 50% of original owners of particular high-cost players are gone:

More than half of the owners of the big RBs are all gone:

LT (50.6% eliminated)

Cadillac Williams (51.7% eliminated)

Tiki Barber (56.7% eliminated)

Larry Johnson (57.1% eleminated)

Shaun Alexander (58.6% eliminated)

Lamont Jordan (62% eliminated)

Clinton Portis (62.1% eliminated)

Chad Johnson, Randy Moss, and Steve Smith are having a similar effect on the WRs.

All three of the top $$ TEs (Shockey, Gonzo, and Gates) have less than 50% of their original owners still in the game.

[Barry Jive and The Uptown Five]

Still sitting on 6 non-contributors.

$15 Plummer - although he scored a 21.7 in Wk3 - He'll factor in before all is said & done

$9 Mike Clayton - my biggest concern on the roster - could have spent this money better

$2 Jacobs - TD vulture / Tiki injury play

$1 Morency - although it was close last week

$1 Curry - just looking for the occasional big game flyer

$1 Scheffler - Kool-Aid drinker

This one really sticks out. I wonder how many of these came in week 2 when he did not play?

I am in the same boat. I figure if your still alive with LT2, and factor in he already had his bye and had to face off vs the Raven D, then you have to feel someone good about your chances to stick around for a few more weeks (provided the rest of your team is in good order). Of course, I'll get the boot this week because thats my luck, but I do like the fact I have LT2 working for me going forward where most others do not.

The real interesting week will be week 7. During that week, Lewis, Jones, Benson, Bush, Deuce, Gore, Jackson, Henry, Brown, and White will all be off. Just looking at the 70% that own Gore, using simple probability, about 55% of those owners (about 38% of the total teams) also have at least 1 other RB on bye that week. Of those, another 1/3 also have one of the high dollar RB's (the ones about $50 or above). So, that's 13% of the total pool who are really counting on their high dollar RB that week. Week 7 trims 20% of the teams (5k to 4k) so many of those that have their high $ RB stink or not play that week will also likely be the ones that finish near the bottom.I originally feared week 7 (Bush/Gore owner) but it's nice to know 38% of us are in the same boat and 13% could be much worse off.

Week 7 was the one I was worried about from the start. I have Bush and Gore (and Brown ) plus Mason.Now I'm more worried about week 6 with Manning, Maroney, Edwards, Williamson, and Watson all off. I'm counting on that being the week that Rivers contributes, since he's facing the 49ers.

As much as Week 7 is brutal for BR's, Week 6 is brutal for WR's and TE's- 8 of the top 14 owned WR's are off (Williamson, Jennings, Edwards, Gabriel, Burleson, Wayne, M Jones, Wilford) A lot are low-$$ guys.- 6 of the top 11 owned TE's are off (Watson, Franks, Winslow, Wiggins, V Davis*, Dal Clark)* Injured

[QuizGuy66]

Thought it'd be interesting to look at how the top-10 from each of the previous weeks fared going forward.

4 of the top 10 scorers from week 1 have since been eliminated (3 of them in the top 6)

4 of the top 10 scorers from week 2 have since been eliminated (including #2 from that week)

None of the top 10 scorers from week 3 have been eliminated (the highest ranked Departee was #14)

Okay, just for kicks I'll look at the bubble kids starting with week 2 (week 1 there was no bubble)

Only 6 of the 19 people who finished at the cut line week 2 have been since eliminated (or amazingly a lower percentage than those who finished in the top 10 that week!)

Only 1 of the 11 people who finished at the cut line week 3 was eliminated in week 4 (9.1%, less than the overall cut percentage of about 12.5%)

It'll be interesting to see how this pans out going forward. Clearly there's small comfort to be had for those finishing at the top and no reason to lose hope for those who have barely squeaked by.

I have Gore and Deuce out, but I'll have Rudi and Willie both past their bye, not to mention Marion Barber who should at least get SOMETHING. All told, I like my RBs:

Rudi Johnson		 $42	17.3  28.8   7.7  18.1 Marion Barber III	$10	 4.6  13.5   0.0  14.3 Deuce McAllister	 $15	 9.0  20.1  13.4  11.7 Frank Gore		   $10	35.0  21.7  13.4   9.9 Willie Parker		$32	15.8   5.6  27.6   0.0

My WRs are similarly deep, though I might not have anyone that really carries me, all of them have big game potential as long as I don't have to pick WHICH one. Jennings and Williamson are spectacular values. Burleson, Matt Jones, and Clayton not so much.

Terry Glenn		  $13	12.1  21.4   0.0  24.6 Roy Williams		 $27	 6.6  13.1  26.8  22.9 Greg Jennings		$ 2	 1.5  18.7  19.1  13.6 Troy Williamson	  $ 4	11.7  16.2   7.9   4.7 Matt Jones		   $14	11.5  13.3   0.0   3.3 Nate Burleson		$ 6	 4.6   1.7  14.2   2.9 Michael Clayton	  $ 9	 6.4  11.2   2.4   0.0

My QBs, on the other hand, worry me:

Byron Leftwich	   $12	21.5  12.4  14.8  26.9 Daunte Culpepper	 $18	11.9  16.2  14.9  16.4 Chris Simms		  $10	 4.0  13.0  16.1   0.0

Maybe, but I definitely think it's reasonable to expect a better game from Gore this week. At home, playing a softer defense, 1 week further removed from his rib injury, all sound like reasons to expect improved production to me.

Oh I agree he will have a better game. Just thought it was funny you "think he will a very strong game" considering the fact you need him to have a great game this week.I guess it was funnier in my head.

 

[a_f13nd]

I also started with the high priced guys and then thought to myself, would I rather rely on LT2 having an amazing game every week or take my chances with a smattering of reliable RB1.

That's how I got Rudi, FWP, McGahee, Gore. I also took Brandon Jacobs, though I was seriously considering Norwood.

With QB, I figured I'd do similar. I started with Manning, and actually decided he was worth it, since a big week from him (say a 5-TD game, which is something he seems to do every now and again), could get me through a rough week. And took Vick and McNair, figuring they had decent value, considering, and had a chance of outscoring Manning on his down weeks.

That left me with bargain bin WR--Glenn, Bryant, Reggie Brown, McCardell, Gabriel... and I forgot.

Bargain bin TE--Watson, Franks--who stupidly have the same bye week.

Went with name kickers who were cheap -- Akers, Vandy

Arizona and Buffalo D are not working out as poorly as many would have predicted.

So, all in all, I've done alright considering it's PPR and I spent about 40 bucks on my receivers. One stud receiver cost more easily, and is nearly as prone as any of the guys I picked of putting up jack--Chad Johnson 1 catch, 11 yards... ugh.

 

[Marvin88]

What I find interesting about this are guys like Tony Scheffler. He hasn't done squat this year (1 catch for 9 yards), but yet his owners are in general doing very well. Why? Because people who picked Scheffler are probably people who filled out lineups late and were generally paying attention. Correlation is not causation, as we all know. Having Scheffler on your team does not cause success (at least it hasn't yet), but apparently it correlates with some factors that do.Just an observation.

Interesting. I hadn't thought about that. I have Scheffler. I think that a lot of tinkering really helped my decisions. I started early, and would come back to my lineup after ignoring it for a few days and say to myself, "Oh, I don't want that guy on my team after all." Not all my decisions have worked out so far (Fitzgerald ), but the tinkering over a long period did work out for me.

I have Scheffler and Miller.

I really drank the Ben Watson coolaid this year. I wish I had stuck with Miller as my #1 TE.

I wouldn't give up on Watson yet (like you really could anyway). If you have Watson, and are still alive, then he could help down the line. I think he'll be OK! In my mind, I look at it this way: I paid penies for a guy that could have been (and still could be) a top 5 TE. Yet, in the meantime, I have still gotten a dime's worth of player that I paid pennies for.

In previous years, FBG posted the excel file of everyone's roster, and while it was a computational nightmare to sort, anyone with excel skills could score stuff and post all kinds of statistical info. For whatever reason (proprietary new scoring database, or just not wanting the masses to be able to "pre-release" the results), this year all you can do is click through to a team to see an individual roster. While a VERY dedicated person could still compile a results file, unless we get some help this may be difficult. If I'm still alive at the end, I think it would be a doable task to set up the table for the final cut. Even then it will likely be a weekend task, but with that much dough on the line I think I could motivate myself...However, if Mr. Drinen would like to post a full roster file, in previous years I took it upon myself to post current cut lines periodically throughout Sunday, and during the game on Monday night. There were occasional errors that cropped up, but I was never off by more than a few tenths of a point when I used released FFLM stats. This was due to significant scoring from hyphenated and 2 word player names basically, and after the first couple of weeks I got those bugs ironed out. Real-time (well, as fast as I could enter the stats from NFL.com) MNF scoring was a bit more dicey, as beer and typing are a bad combination for accuracy, but it was cool to see the line as it moved up!Still in and happy with my team so far. Now if Gates can just pick it up for me, I see he's my only player of note that very few people have left...

With Hasselbeck on a Bye and Culpepper riding pine, I was not opptimistic about my chances of moving on this week.

But Mr. Leinart, welcome to the NFL (2 TDs in the first quarter so far), and the big Recpt. numbers from Mr. Bush, and the big day (again) from Mr. Jennings...maybe I can squeak by for another week.

Gore/Barber and Deuce having good games, Jennings putting up another big game. (Still have Parker and Miller tonight but not expecting huge numbers against SD).

But with Burleson on bye, Matt Jones out, and Clayton and Williamson both not doing much, I need something big from Glenn and/or Gore.

I need a big game from Leftwich with Culpepper on the bench and Simms out. Sadly I'm a Jets fan. I need something from Culpepper next week or I'm screwed.

Got some good points from GJenn and MoJoD. Still worried about JDell as my QB...... he only got 1 TD. Still have LaTom and WiPA.
