[Mr. Soup Nazi]

I'm excited about my team so far.

As of right now, my 3 week total is 611.7 (still have D Adams -16.3). I've broke 200 twice and have only one injury to speak of, Roethlisberger. Luckily I backed him up with Mariota and T Taylor, both of whom have counted while Ben hasn't even scored for me yet in three weeks.

My RB's are the real concern. My trio of Peterson, Hill & Forsett should have been a strength, but now my RB2 score is a liability each week. At least AP has an early week 5 bye.

 

[Hybrid]

Guys who have counted zero times for me this year:

Bradford - $13

C.J. Anderson - $27

Davante Adams - $9

Markus Wheaton - $5

Eddie Royal - $4

Tyler Locket - $3

Kai Forbath - $2

Brady, Julio, Landry, and Reed are my guys who've counted every week.

 

[Mr. Soup Nazi]

I just saw this interesting item; the player with the highest week 1 & 2 point total will be eliminated this week.

 

[FUBAR]

I just saw this interesting item; the player with the highest week 1 & 2 point total will be eliminated this week.

that happens more than we'd like to think (maybe not that pronounced, but the general idea of high scoring teams getting eliminated for one off week)

 

[Robbie Cooper]

Don't think I'll be around much longer with Hill and Forsett as my top two backs.

Could be worse. You're top two backs could be CJ Anderson and D Murray.

 

[Raback]

Over 200 again and very happy with my team overall. Jeremy Hill is my biggest regret but given the RB landscape this year I think most teams have made similar mistakes. Really happy I went TE heavy with Gronk, Olsen and Eifert as they are carrying me so far.

 

[The Man With No Name]

The vultures are circling. I'm at 135.25. Current flex scores are 8.90 and 4.60 (Both are RB's). Current top two WR's are are 7.60 and 4.70. Remaining players are:

Abdullah

Davante Adams

Richard Rogers

If 2 out of 3 get me 15 points, I'm sitting at 147ish, which I don't think will cut it. Where's Flutie when you need him? I need a Hail Mary, drop-kick extra point, or some other miracle to eek me through.

You're looking good in my opinion Wolfies Now you're at 142.85. Adams is gonna help you more than most of his owners since he only has to clear 4.7 points before he counts for you.

-QG

looking better than I am right now. 4 points up, Adams -6 left.

1.35 below the Turk line now. Have Starks, Adams and RRodgers to go, -7.6 and 10.8

Not many have Starks so if Lacy is out it will help bigtime.

On to week 4!!!! question for all you sharks why do people seem to target earlier byes as opposed to late ones? 1500 people will be eliminated next week as opposed to say 600 between weeks ten and 11 wouldn't you want to be full strength to get through the larger number? thanks for your help and good luck to those sweating the turk

It's a matter of percentages. Only the bottom ~15% get cut next week, but the bottom ~33% get cut Week 10.

ty don i kept AP Over lavieon bell for that reason hope it dont bite me in week 5

It's a matter of percentages. Only the bottom ~15% get cut next week, but the bottom ~33% get cut Week 10.

Also the turk cuts the low hanging fruit each week (which is the poorly constructed rosters) along with some well constructed rosters. As the contest goes on the % of poorly constructed rosters gets less and less and the competition gets better and better. Its easier to slip through with a bad week in the first few byes than it is at the end.

Think of it in terms of 15 QB guy, he may hang on for a few weeks but eventually the turk will get him. Next the turk will be looking for 8 QB guy, then 6 QB guy etc.

Poor 8 QB guy :(

[HairySasquatch]

I am comfortably advancing for the first three weeks (184, 174, 181), but the RB position is going to be the downfall of this team (Forsett, Gurley, Ivory, Martin, Artis-Payne, Michael). That group has scored 32, 23, and 11 points for me over the last three weeks. Brady, Gronk, and Julio have been pulling me through the first 3 weeks.

With the Pats on bye next week, I feel like I'm going to need a minor miracle to advance past week 4. I will for sure be starting Bradford at QB and Olsen at TE.

I'm going to need some guys to step up for week four.

Thanks QG! With Richard Rogers at -8.90 (maybe a TD comes his way?), I feel like there is certainly a chance. I'm not long for the contest, but just getting to Week 8 ish would keep it fun a little while.

Ummmm.........Yeah.

Soooooo, Richard Rogers for the win?

 

[FUBAR]

What's the least we should expect the line to move?

 

[JoeSteeler]

Is Adams Out for the game? 58.3% ownership

 

[wolfies30]

I think it moved 9ish last week for the Colts-Jets game that was 20-7 Jets.

 

[Instinctive]

Am I reading correctly that only 102 teams had Foster, and only 76 are still alive? Why did so few take Foster?

 

[BassNBrew]

Am I reading correctly that only 102 teams had Foster, and only 76 are still alive? Why did so few take Foster?

He was projected to miss 4-12 weeks and priced fairly for the whole season.

 

[KellysHeroes]

I think it moved 9ish last week for the Colts-Jets game that was 20-7 Jets.

up to 140 right now, I don't see it moving more than 4 or 5 pts with Adams out.

 

[kevzilla]

I'm in good shape, but the cutline is a rising tide that is going to drown my dad's team soon. Sorry, Pops.

Looks like that long Maclin catch just knocked me out.

Did someone do live scoring again this year? Link?

Not Iggy Too :(

343 Cody Parkey owners still alive with a dead $7 kicker

And 320 (minus this week) Caleb Sturgis owners who get a guy back.

And 2 alive entries that will just swap out Parkey for Sturgis.

[Raiderfan32904]

Not pretty, but my entry made it thru. Gonna be a challenge next week for fellow Brady/Gronk owners.

 

[Lascelle]

343 Cody Parkey owners still alive with a dead $7 kicker

Who in their right mind would have a $7 kicker on their roster?

I'm worried now that I've lost Big Ben for a month and a half and my only backup is "supposed to break out this year but sucking instead" Teddy Bridgewater.

 

[Ted Lange as your Bartender]

I'm sure it's happened before but you don't see a 300+ score posted every day. Sheesh

KO'd by .2, damm

 

[MattFancy]

Had one of my best week's that I can remember with a 217. Hopefully Eli can pull through for me this week with Brady on a bye.

 

[jandyt]

Another mediocre week but still alive. Wow my backs(Hill, Forsett, Martin, Ivory) are not doing well.

 

[Kenny Powers]

Top 175 finish this week with 231.75. Should be fine this week without Brady as I have Dalton (and that bum Bradford). My RBs are struggling but got 33 pts from Adbullah and Mathews this week.

 

[Quez]

I think I have a decent team this year, but very week at WR. Gonna be hard to make it through the byes.

[QuizGuy66]

I'm tied for 225th in the overall top 500 after 3 weeks. This is the strongest I think I've been in this contest - hopefully it can keep up.

[Chicago Hooligan]

Moving on with an unremarkable 168. Not dodging injuries 100% anymore (Lynch, Watkins) but nothing devastating yet.

 

[wolfies30]

Wolfies nooooooooo :(

-QG

It was like putting an old dog out of his misery. With Dez out, AJ a no show, and Davante hurt, I'd roll into week 4 with only Stevie Johnson, Wheaton, and Royal as my WR's, along with Gronk on a bye. Me, FUBAR, and Iggy will be watching from the stands.

Time for a little monologue:

This only my second year in this contest, and I found this thread through a Google search, and it's been amazing. The contest, along with this thread and Iggy's site is worth the membership alone. Without the other two, the contest would be so boring. A big thanks to everyone for making this so enjoyable! And a big thanks to Iggy for maintaining the site!

 

[heckmanm]

Squeaked through by 5 points. Updated usage

QB: Luck (1), T-Mobile (2), Fitz (0)
RB: Peterson (2), Hill (1), Woodhead (3), Robinson (2), Artis-Payne (0)
WR: ABrown (3), JBrown (3), Adams (0), Funchess (0), Royal (1), Strong (0)
TE: Gronk (3), Kelce (3)
PK: Gano (3), Scobee (0), Succop (0), Forbath ( )

DT: Jags (1), Bears (1), Raiders (1)

I'm gonna need Hill to start producing SOON. Also wishing I'd gone Julio or Green at WR1 about now, even as good as Brown has been.

 

[Raiderfan32904]

Houston just cut their PK Randy Bullock for San Diego's former PK Nick Novak.

732 sad Bullock owners, and 260 happy Novak owners.

 

[Foxer2373]

Chalk it!

Bell

Peterson

Charles

That's about att my positives, exept for the 7000 others that have Julio!

Haha Julio, Rodgers and Maclin one my league game with almost no help from anyone including 3, 0's lol.

Love this contest with not having to plug in the flier of the week.
