I'm not sure I agree with the inclusion of guys like Derek Anderson as clinically "dead" - Anderson's 0.3 last week was good enough to actually keep one entry alive in week 5. He's more like an unfortunate investment. Hall gets hit by a truck and Anderson rapidly becomes undead.

I guess it's sorta like politics there's hard money and soft money.

An IR-case like Grant is definitely hard "dead" money. Guys out more than a couple weeks like Finley can slot in this category as well.

But someone like Berrian? I don't think he's dead in the classic sense - he might get points in things like a 4 or 5-WR set. He's still dressing after all. That's more like "soft" dead money - guys less likely to contribute but still around. I wouldn't call Bernard Scott dead money but he'll essentially function that way as long as Benson is fine.

I'd define "dead" players the same way I define "junk" entries - it has to involve a guaranteed zero. For all we know, Berrian could score 40 points this week. Just because he's not very likely to do so doesn't mean he's dead money.

I totally agree, guys like Derek Anderson can still come up and save a team's behind....like me for instance, if Stafford doesn't come back, I'm going to need Anderson to sneak onto the field and put up a few points to cover Flacco's bye.

Agree with Berrian, I didn't include him as "dead" money in counting who had the most. I also didn't include players like P.Thomas or Reggie Bush who are out for a couple weeks but may come back. I only included guys that are out for the season (or rumored out like Finley), are no longer on a NFL team or need an injury to get onto the field. Anderson falls into this last category, is he clinically dead, no, but he's close enough imo to include him. Just like I've included Josh Johnson.

See, I disagree. To me "dead" money is basically players that at this point you really are planning for them to put up a 0 each week. It's possible for him to sneak in and get some more points but at this point, if I had Anderson on my team, I'd think I'd be getting a 0 for him. He's most likely not getting into the game unless Hall gets injured. I mean according to your definition of "dead" money players like Tebow, Whitehurst, Josh Johnson, and Leftwich wouldn't qualify. Sure it's possible that they could get a couple points but it almost needs a perfect storm to matter (him to actually play, to score enough to add value to the team for the week and his adding value to your team actually brings you past the cut line)

I think the odds of Derek Anderson playing are higher than that of a backup for a fully entrenched starter like is the case with Tebow, Johnson, Whitehurst and Leftwich. Hall isn't entrenched at all.All in all, it isn't that big a deal either way though IMO. (except the part where I need Anderson to play if Stafford doesn't return by Flacco's bye of course. )

[Bad_Mo]

Phew...surviving Brady's BYE week makes me feel great about my chances. I'm not putting up 200+ per week, but alot of my players haven't hit their strides yet.

Week6 - look out.

 

[Das Boot]

For all we know, Berrian could score 40 points this week.

my worst pick

 

[H8fulHuck]

Dead weight $ spent on players who haven't contributed to my team score through week 5.

QB - 4 owned14 Big Ben - put him in coach! he just needs a chance... 06 DA - Even players who make it in Cleveland shouldn't be counted on in FF. Aaah the allure of a CHEAP starter week 1.RB - 6 owned08 Leon Washington - "Where's the blood?!?!" Mike Golic06 Fred Taylor - Glory Days baby...Glory Days...WR - 9 owned07 Berrian - really only thought he'd be good for the 1st half anyhow. Hindsight 20/2005 Brian Robiskie - see Derek AndersonTE - 4 owned13 Owen Daniels - love this pick as a potential BOOM playah. Still holding out for a revival.K - 4 owned03 Rob Bironas - quite surprised he hasn't contributed. He was my first choice at K even before looking at prices. D - 3 ownedFinally a position where everyone has contributed. Great job Pittsburgh, San Fran & Detroit!!!
Right there is $62 of dead weight through week 5. If they were only as motivated as Tatum Bell...

 

[QuizGuy66]

Berrian, Stafford, Derek Anderson, and Bernard Scott are the only 4 guys out of 26 that I haven't used yet.

That's $35 - not too bad. I desperately need Stafford to turn that into $19 once week 10 gets here

:( that I actually got something out of Deion Branch already. I'm hoping that the switch to New England will give me some more starts down the road.

-QG

 

[QuizGuy66]

That would be another interesting stat: the start percentage for various players during the contest. Both as a percentage of the teams that have that player and overall (and split by those who made the cut and those who missed it). Would have to think that Rivers is close to 100% every week for his owners.

I'm really good at making work for other people

-QG

 

[Ahmad Rashad]

I'm going to go out on a limb here and predict that Ray Rice will not finish the season in the top 10 RBs.

You may be right (and it looked like it after his week 1 dud @NYJ and week 4 dud @Pit), as Rice hasn't been in the top 10 RB's thus far, but this week's Fantasy Roundtable is encouraging for the remaining Rice owners (39.13% survival rate so far):

So Johnson and Peterson have garnered a fairly clear consensus at the first two spots. With them off the board, who is next? Andrew, give us your pick.ANDREW GARDA: I have to go Ray Rice here. He is finally breaking out, and I think he's poised for a streak of very good games. Oh, by the way, he's getting some short-yardage work again. Rice's offense passes a lot but it benefits him, as he will have more space since defenses need to respect the pass.ANTHONY BORBELY: I agree with Andrew. Rice battled through an injury and a very difficult schedule, and his outlook going forward looks strong. The Ravens are saying they want to keep Rice on the field in goal line situations and if that holds true, Rice could be in line for double-digit TDs to go with high yardage numbers.ANDY HICKS: Another vote for Rice. He has had his share of hard early matchups and now gets his chance to shine.MARK WIMER: Rice is just starting to hit his stride, and he is the fourth-most-targeted Raven this year with 20 targets for 15 receptions and 100 yards. He's the right pick at number three.MATT WALDMAN: I would take Frank Gore here over Rice, but that doesn't mean that I don't love Rice. Repeat after me: "He's had three tough games in four weeks, he'll come around." If Denver is any indication, his run of strong performances is just beginning.

If indeed his early troubles are out of the way and "his run of strong performances is just beginning," he'll likely finish in the top 10 (these guys say top 3) and teams with him may come on strong the rest of the season.

QG you rock. I check this thread almost everyday to see some of the stats you are posting... Really nice job.

To keep up with the thoughts on guys I haven't used:

[*]Julian Edelman - Most pts scored was 3.9 (Maybe there is light without Moss)

[*]Greg Camarillo - Most pts scored was 3.9

[*]Dante Rosario - Most pts scored was 9.2

[*]Deion Branch - Most pts scored was 11.0 (Maybe there is light without Moss)

[*]Fred Taylor - Most pts scored was 8.7

Total cost was $21... not so bad.

More amusing to me are some of the guys I have used for minimal pts:

[*]Derek Anderson - 0.3 pts (Week 5)

[*]Patrick Crayton - 3.2 pts (Week 5)

[*]Johnnie Lee Higgins - 5.8 pts (Week 3)

Ironically, Week 5 was my lowest week, but the Detroit Lions kept me alive... 19 pts for Def, 19 pts for Hanson, and 14.6 pts for Pettigrew. Can't seem to win the NFL, yet they do score some pts for fantasy owners.

Deion Branch might turn into a steal in this contest if Brady keeps targeting him as much as he has today, especially in the red zone. He might help me survive this TE-less week with Finley down and Gresham on bye.

 

[BassNBrew]

Foster's huge day bodes well for the larger rosters.

Foster's huge day bodes well for the larger rosters.

And for smaller rosters, since it relieves their bye issues.

It doesn't matter for the Subscriber contest. No "points against" for DEF.

 

[Ahmad Rashad]

And for smaller rosters, since it relieves their bye issues.

Yep. Since he's owned by most of each type, it will help those with less depth the most, which during the bye weeks will be the smaller rosters.If every team owned him, it would essentially reduce the roster requirement by 1, which favors smaller rosters.

 

[Balco]

149.85 after 1:00 games. Just a steady amount of scoring across the board. Ben Watson's 23 were huge, as were Deon Branch's 19.5. Foster's 2 late tds helped.

 

[radiohead417]

170+ after the 1p games (thank you Kevin Kolb! Andy Reid, get your head out of your **@! - at least through Schaub's bye). Nice to feel safe for once.

 

[wollac]

174.2 after first round of games...

Andre Johnson, Calvin Johnson, Arian Foster, Deion Branch combo paid off huge this week...

Onto week 7!!

 

[QuizGuy66]

155.05 after 1pm

Rivers 17.45 (thank goodness for the late rally)

Foster 24.70

T Jones 17.50 (he's been a steal so far)

ADP left to play

Calvin 25.6

Branch 24.8 (gotta love that trade - if anything moves me up in the world in this thing it'll be him)

Mike Williams 8.5

Gaffney, Murphy, and uh, Berrian left to go.

Winslow 14.8 (haters hate him but he's been solid)

Fasano 9.7 is my flex

Bryant 5.0 with Bironas and Janikowski to go

Chicago 6.0

I really think that diversifying my roster and going 26 players has helped me more this week than any other. Can't imagine Branch and Jones being on many of the smaller rosters.

He's done well, but know huge weeks. If I had gone small roster, I wouldn't have rolled spent the bucks on Benson.The reason I made my statement is that the larger rosters got a CJ/ADP/Rice/MJD money type of performance out of one of their backs.

So who are the dud guys out there that might be sending some entries home this week?

Naturally you have bye week guys like Palmer, Benson, Ocho, Owens, Gresham, DeAngelo, S Smith (car), Spiller, D Anderson , Fitzgerald, and Hightower.

And your Grant, Finley, Stafford and the like.

It's not just RB's that are on bye where Foster will help. He'll also be used as a flex by many, probably including me, so he'll help guys with depth issues at other positions. With Finley out and Gresham on bye, Foster's big day (combined with Branch, Andre Johnson, Ray Rice, Rodgers) will help me survive with no TE this week. I had been getting my flex points from my TE for 3 of the first 4 weeks before Finley's injury, so I need other guys to step up into that flex spot now.Unless Finley comes back for the playoff weeks, I probably have no shot any more, but it will be interesting to see how long I can last with a stud-led, smaller roster...

If Gates is out a while, the 100% survival rate of the top-stud-plus-Foster-strategy teams with Rodgers/Chris Johnson/Andre Johnson/Gates/Foster will be in jeopardy. TE scoring would be down with both Gates and Finley out.

169.55 + (Bironas - 11.0) as well.

I don't think the cut is going to move much higher than whatever it is at right now. The 4 teams left to play aren't really a hot-bed of popular guys in this contest. Browsing through the ownership rates, the only guys I see above 10% ownership (of those alive) are Bironas (27.6%), Chris Johnson (13.9%), Santana Moss (11.8%), and Garcon (28.4%) Cooley is next closest at 9.5%. I figure the average team has only about 2 guys left to play, and in most cases one of the two will be one of the 5 guys I just mentioned.
