Unofficial and preliminary pre-MNF cut is 148.3

Hoping LT bombs in weeks 13-16, since I will be one of the very few who may make it without him....

amen!!! i am another LT2less owner. without the point machine, the 25000 shacks is a pipedream

Im on the LT2less bandwagon. We should start a support group.

Anyone out there still playing able to run custom scoring with FFLM? I'm in the process of finalizing my spreadsheet to give a little bit more "real time" analysis of the cut since next week we'll all be on edge trying to decide if we're in or out. Only avoidable piece I don't look forward to is manually inputting the scoring into the calculation tables. I could do it, but it increases the chances for errors. If someone can paste the FFLM scoring like Stedman used to, the process would be MUCH easier to do.

Not that I'm looking forward to 1000 operations of cut/paste/transpose, but hey, I've made it this far, whats a little more work?!

ctriopelle,

I am very impressed and greatful for all of your hard work. You have made it more fun for all of us. Unfortunatley, I have no idea on how to help with your request.

Interesting, I was reading through some of the early weeks of the thread today and I noticed where in one early week you thought you were elimated. The contest would have been worse for us all had it happened.

You deserve to win it more than anyone which means you will probably get screwed.

Good Luck

Cant say I necessarily "deserve" anything, but I think its safe to say I'm more obsessed than most!As for my hopes of getting a full database constructed to live score this thing for next week I've come to a couple of problem observations...1) This is a short week and I will be leaving the friendly confines of my house Thursday AM for the wonderful company of relatives and in-laws. Not necessarily conducive to being a PC caveman recluse, as may be required to pull this off in the time available. 1000 cut and paste operations (specifically, cut/paste/convert/transpose actually) takes a LONG time!2) Due to the difficulty in converting the info I have access to into useable data (and methods used to overcome errors I already noticed), I'm afraid I may end up with a tool that looks like it works, but could contain several errors. While I'd only expect this to drive a projected cut error of a point or so at most, there is too much riding on this week to be spewing erroneous info.3) Most importantly, without a text table output from FFLM or some similar interface I'd be left to calculate scoring results myself, which is REALLY prone to typos. All I've done so far is a lot of bulk cut and pastes with some format corrections on about 50 entries. I don't trust my fingers that much.So, bottom line is I'll probably be pretty burned out come Sunday if I tackle this, and I probably won't get back to my PC until sometime later in the evening after I drive about 4 hours to get home. Unless someone steps up to say they can/will generate a stat file I think it may just be easier to let Doug drop his bombs on us Tuesday... :(

135.1 and out. Good luck to everybody still in it - somebody without LT win it for the rest of us, O.K.?

Not a lot of stats tonight. Dare I hope the line doesn't move 2 points?

Very iffy, but while there is life, there is hope.

Does anybody have a "squash hope" smiley? Get it ready for me please.

I agree. doesn't look like much there to move the line more than a couple of points...looks like we meet again next week Grizz!

Actually, ive never been close at all to the cut. I helped a friend of mine pick his team (he was going to skip entering) and he got booted in week 3. Of course his team HAD LT2 as the centerpiece. I feared LT2 would thin him out too much on the off week and I was right. I just wanted to experiment with a "go large" team (his) and a "safe" team (mine). Looks like safe worked better for me!

 

[EBF]

Looks like Shockey saved my skin. He bumped me up from about 148 to 157.

I really need a down week from Tomlinson and Parker next week to eliminate some of their owners. I had Lee Evans, Laurence Maroney, and Frank Gore, and I still almost missed the cut this week. Brutal.

[Couch Potato]

Wow. 934th place. I was just sure I was a goner. Instead I'm a happy

 

[Couch Potato]

Oh man, what a tease. I'm at 150.4 whichs looks like a sure exit. I don't think I could have dreamed up a more brutal way to exit this contest than what's happened this week. Of course there yet remains a slim (miricle needed) chance of staying in.

Actual score 150.6 - you made it in by less than a point my friend. 985th place!

Both of my D's are in pretty bad shape which isn't going to help... If Willis could somehow find his way back on the field that would be a huge boost.

 

[Otis]

Missed it by a point.

Dear team: Go to hell. TIA

Good luck all.

 

[BroadwayG]

Uno Ocho is now probably Ocho Uno, but I sneak in with the smallest margin yet.

[acapella]

Alive and kickin' (and quite surprised to be part of the final 1000 as well).

 

[QuizGuy66]

Unbelievable! Still going!

I don't know which is stranger - being one of only 7 entries left that have Santonio Holmes or that this dude has basically come on down the stretch and been the biggest reason (other than LT2) why I'm still here.

Congrats to those who missed the cut this week as you all had a great run in spite of this week's bad luck.

And to the other 1001 see you next week

[The Grizzly One]

WHOOOOOO!!

Just like David Garrard last night, my team looked down. I am stunned. Thrilled but stunned. I never watched a football game like I did last night. I wanted punts baby. Kept rooting for punts. The less action, the more thrilled I was.





Now let somebody else deal with the #1 ranking jinx!!

Gotcha Beat...986th place...thanks to (I still cant believe it) the one long Matt Jones reception last night. I'm hanging on with LT/Gore/Palmer+Rivers but my WRs will need to return to early season form or I am toast...

The upcoming cut (50%) concerns me more than any other this season.

The Turk is going to be in the 140's if not the 150's.

If LT2 delivers again, 300 of the final 500 will be LT2 owners.

I did come up with some hope for non-LT2 owners (like me), however ...

LT2's ridiculous performance over the last 4 weeks (averaging 192 yards, 3.5 TD's, 44 FP) has come in games where the Chargers have absolutely needed him to win (SD gave up 24 or more points in each and had 21 and 17 point deficits in the last two games v CIN and DEN).

This week's game vs Oakland should not meet that scenario. SD should have this game in hand early.

I'm hoping the 2nd half is the Michael Turner show.

Yes, yes I know, about 100 LT2 owners also own the Burner. But if those two guys can SPLIT the 44 Fantasy Points LT2 has been providing by himself lately, it could shake things up a bit this week.

 

[videoguy505]

Hooray for bad math! I was sweating it out for the last 24 hours, only to log on and see I added up my points wrong. Squeaked by at 160 instead of dying at 147.

 

[Charley]

As noted by Drinen, one measure of the importance of a player in the contest results is the %Live which is the percentage of entries having a specified player who are still alive as of a given week.

Another measure, using a different combination of the same variables that he publishes weekly, is the degree of concentration (or dilution) of rosters having that player (as of a given week). A “Concentration/Dilution Ratio” (CDR) can be calculated as:

CDR(i) = [np(i)/n(i)] / [NP/N]

Where:

n(i) = total number of live rosters in week i

np(i) = number of live rosters in week i having a certain player

N = starting total number of rosters

NP = starting number of rosters having a certain player

A CDR(7) of 1.5 (for a specified player) indicates that the player was on a much higher proportion of rosters at the end of Week 7 (compared to the average player). Similarly, a CDR(7) of 0.5 indicates that relatively few rosters containing that player survived to Week 7.

As of the end of Week 7, McNabb, Kevin Jones, and Roy Williams had the highest CDR ratios by far and presumably were the biggest contributors to their owners surviving through the 1st 7 weeks of the contest (column 1 below).

But things changed substantially in Weeks 8 through 11. Roy Williams had an average impact, but McNabb and Kevin Jones both had a negative influence on survivorship (column 2).

Obviously, Tomlinson had the biggest impact in Weeks 8-11 by a large margin. Tomlinson's CDR of 3.01 (for Weeks 8 to 11) quantifies how big that impact has been. The other big contributors to rosters were Lee Evans, Willie Parker, Miami DST, and Braylon Edwards.

For Weeks 1 to 11 combined (column 3), the players with the largest CDR ratios were:

1. 3.46 Tomlinson RB

2. 2.10 Evans WR

3. 1.81 Parker RB

4. 1.73 Edwards WR

5. 1.61 Wayne WR

6. 1.58 R. Williams WR

7. 1.52 Jennings WR

8. 1.51 Losman QB

9. 1.50 Palmer QB

10. 1.49 Miami DST

11. 1.44 Vick QB

13. 1.39 TJ Houshmanzadeh WR

14. 1.38 B. Watson TE

15. 1.37 T. Glenn WR

16. 1.35 F. Gore RB

From Weeks 1 to 7, the strongest roster would have contained:

QB - McNabb, Kitna, Vick

RB – K. Jones, Parker, Gore

WR – R. Williams, TJ Housh, L. Evans

TE – LJ Smith

DST - Minnesota

From Weeks 8 to 11, the strongest rosters included:

QB – Palmer, Losman, P. Manning

RB – Tomlinson, Parker, Gore

WR – Evans, Edwards, Wayne

TE – Watson

DST - Miami

Thanks Charley - that's a cool way of looking at it.

What is key now, is who will get you past week 12, and then who will be the difference-makers in Week 13-16. Now it's time for guys who didn't help you get here (and therefore aren't on many rosters) to step up.

For me - these guys are Rudi Johnson and Joey Galloway. Vick (also on my team) also works for this, even though he's one of the guys on your list, because he must not have been heavily owned in the first place.

The few who survived the first 9 weeks with Chad Johnson have to be loving life now.

Over 800 of the 1000 remaining rosters have Gore and/or Watson... wow

Nice thing of the 1000 left, for a close estimate (+/-3 or so), of how many teams have a player just shift the %OWN decimal point one space.

So if Gore and/or Watson have big days this week the cut will undoubtably be high...

I don't understand why there are so many people on here bashing Tomlinson owners, hoping he has a down week, when he is owned by only 33% of teams.

I think there is a much better chance that the 62% of owners with Willie Parker will be dissapointed with his stats in Baltimore.

 

[videoguy505]

I don't understand why there are so many people on here bashing Tomlinson owners, hoping he has a down week, when he is owned by only 33% of teams.

Because once we get past "elimination weeks" the LT teams will have one hell of a workhorse who can afford to have a down week later.

I don't think bashing is the right term, but the point is that non-LT owners want as many LT owners to fall this week as possible to reduce that percentage because after this comes the 4-week period where one down week for LT won't kill them.You're right though in that before worrying about any of that, we first have to make the cut. The best thing that could happen for me as a Gore and FWP owner is to have down weeks from one or both of them but big weeks from Bush and Rudi. At this point, final cutdown week, I'm more concerned with outgaining others in the large ownership packs I'm in than with what LT does. If he has a down week too, so much the better.

Maybe because his Tomlinson's owners are surviving at a rate nearly double that of any other player!So the point is - if you don't have him - and he keeps on like he is - you know you are at a major disadvantage to surviving to week 13, or to do well in weeks 13-16 compared to teams that have him.Sure - if you don't have Parker, you don't want him to do well. And while he has been very successful, nobody has been in the same ballpark of Tomlinson in terms of generating success (survival) - so that's why he's getting all the attention.

because right now he is basically the only player that can consistantly put up 40pts a week besides maybe larry johnson (but very people are left that own him). if i make it to the final 500, me not being an LT owner will probably have no chance to counter the LT point production, unless he gets injuried, which in that case the non LT owners would then grab a substantial advantage. and before anyone bashes me, i am not hoping for LT to get injuried, i am just pointing out the what ifs

 

[Charley]

I'm probably being delusional and should take off my rose-colored glasses -- just the normal after effects of making this week's cut, I guess. But I like my team (and I don't have LT2).

RB - I've got FWP, Gore, J. Lewis, Maroney, and D. Williams. In addition to FWP and Gore, Lewis has done well the last couple weeks, and I had initially hoped that either Maroney or Williams would become a full-time starter. Not exactly -- but close enough to have 5 RBs contributing and hopefully 2 of them will post good scores next week.

WR - Roy Williams, J. Walker, Glenn, Bryant, Bruce, Booker and Rod Smith. I've had consistent production from this group all season -- hope it continues next week.

TE - Watson and Troupe - enough said.

DST - Cincinnati and Minnesota - Two $2 D's that have been not great, but solid.

K - Hanson and Janikowski - Two $1 kickers who have produced 7-9 pts per week consistently.

QB - Rivers and A. Smith. Probably my weakest position after I lost my main QB, but Smith has covered nicely whenever Rivers has had a poor week.

I know it'll be tough to make next week's cut without a bonafide star. Last week the above roster had double-digit scores from 13 players -- I guess I'm betting on continued contributions from multiple sources.

 

[Charley]

Thanks Charley - that's a cool way of looking at it.What is key now, is who will get you past week 12, and then who will be the difference-makers in Week 13-16. Now it's time for guys who didn't help you get here (and therefore aren't on many rosters) to step up. For me - these guys are Rudi Johnson and Joey Galloway. Vick (also on my team) also works for this, even though he's one of the guys on your list, because he must not have been heavily owned in the first place. The few who survived the first 9 weeks with Chad Johnson have to be loving life now.

Yeah, I agree. My problem is that I don't have any real difference makers -- with hindsight, my roster was constructed with the goal of having consistent production that would beat the cut each week. So far, so good. If I make the cut next week, I'll consider it a major success to make it to the final 500. But I recognize that I have virtually no chance of a really high score in weeks 13-16. Oh well, it's been fun!!

I don't think bashing is the right term, but the point is that non-LT owners want as many LT owners to fall this week as possible to reduce that percentage because after this comes the 4-week period where one down week for LT won't kill them.You're right though in that before worrying about any of that, we first have to make the cut. The best thing that could happen for me as a Gore and FWP owner is to have down weeks from one or both of them but big weeks from Bush and Rudi. At this point, final cutdown week, I'm more concerned with outgaining others in the large ownership packs I'm in than with what LT does. If he has a down week too, so much the better.

I'm with you Couch Potato. I wouldn't mind seeing Rudi and Bush go off either. I would cut down more of the LT2/Gore owners and leave me with LT2/Rudi/Gore/Bush/Morancy. How's that for a final 500 combination?

Rudi and Bush going off sounds good to this LT2 owner
