That's actually not quite right (at least from my inside pieces of the story), but the bottom line is that we aren't going to be able to score everyone this year, for a variety of reasons. I hate not knowing where we stand right after MNF is over, but this week was also unusual in that we didn't get results 1st thing Tuesday morning. DD does a great job of running the report for us, keeping the wait to a minimum.See you all in week 2!TheFanatic said:
He also had Ray Rice. ADP, CJ, and RiceThis Guy missed the cut by .05
Btw he had Adrian Peterson AND Chris Johnson (one of only 253 entries to do so) and thus and 18-guy roster. 12 of those ADP/CJ guys are out.
-QG
I'm one of them. 77.9 points from those two guys alone. I don't expect that to keep happening but it was nice week 1 to finish jus outside the top 100. I think I have had a top 100 finish 1 week in however many years this contest has been around. Those two, plus Eli and Welker got me through week 1 with 132.25 alone. So not getting much from Brandon Marshall or Witten didn't bother me all that much...
Congrats. My first year in the contest, and I had 211 this week.
As do the top 26-50.
Good info here.
Yeah, 126 people did.Too bad those points don't carry over.Anyone beat 218.90??
126 out of how many?Yeah, 126 people did.Too bad those points don't carry over.Anyone beat 218.90??
126 out of all 12,000 that start over at zero next week.126 out of how many?Yeah, 126 people did.Too bad those points don't carry over.Anyone beat 218.90??
Too bad for me. Probably great thing for you!!Yeah, 126 people did.Too bad those points don't carry over.Anyone beat 218.90??
Doesn't matter to me, really. Like almost everyone else in week 1, my team is still alive (and intact). The point is, you'd probably rather survive each week close to the cutoff line than way over it (especially when you get most of your points from your highest priced players). Not only do some people see it as a "waste of points," so to speak, but more importantly it means that everyone who has the same studs as you probably also survived, which isn't good for you. In theory, you want to advance while everyone else who has a similar roster to you gets eliminated (not because of injury, of course, but lack of depth, etc.)Too bad for me.

I'll worry about all that jargon when i reach the playoffs. Meanwhile, enjoy hugging the cut line for however long you're alive. If you're ever interested in seeing my team...just scroll up a few pages to the teams that are senselessly wasting points! Best of luck.Doesn't matter to me, really.

Excellent point. A. Peterson is on my roster , so if he has a bad week and and I still make the cutoff, that is a win win for me. Its always nice to squeek by with your star players barely contributing. Main goal is to make the cut to the final 250 teams. I could care less how many points I accumulate during that time. Its all about making it to the money round.Doesn't matter to me, really. Like almost everyone else in week 1, my team is still alive (and intact).

Don't feel bad. I did the EXACT same thing the first year of this contest. I think I lasted like 5 weeks. It was fun. What wrecked me was not accounting for by weeks since I thought I could redraft and the 5th or 6th week I had a bunch of guys on byes.

This is a bit much, he made a solid point, nothing to get upset about.I'll worry about all that jargon when i reach the playoffs. Meanwhile, enjoy hugging the cut line for however long you're alive.

One of the interesting things I like to look at is how the people who finished #1 (and the top 10) in each week do in the subsequent weeks. Let's just say that things don't always work out long term the same way they do in week 1.Curious how Drinen's projections held up. How many of the 1061 he projected to get cut actually got cut.Doesn't matter to me, really. Like almost everyone else in week 1, my team is still alive (and intact).

Im going to watch those teams. Very interesting. thanks for finding them. Of course, all results from week 1 can be a fluke, see previous years :(
Good argument for having more than two kickers; for the $6 he spent for Hartley he could have had three $2 kickers. Also a good argument for understanding the scoring system. ADP/CJ is just not a great strategy when WR and TE scoring is inflated by extra PPR points.
Woo, $9 on two defenses with the same bye week is a pretty silly error.

Well, except for that guy.I like the "out ?" comments that appear in injured players.
2009. I would love to see 2008 if anyone has itEdited to say : DUH : all you need to do is manipulate the year to 2008. now i can look back at the year i had Vick, Brady and Carr
))
149 did though, that was the "stud" attempt I did for my friend
....mine at 101 fared much better! Hoping top 350 for week 2 survives!
