I don't have anything solid to back it up, but my money would be on Karim.
This "garbage league" is the best league I've ever played in, with 12 committed owners. The system works very well.
One of my leagues used to use that system. If everyone in the league can be glued to their TVs all day Sunday, it can be pretty fun, actually. But if some owners have family/work commitments, then it becomes a major problem (especially if others don't and can work the waiver wire all Sunday).
Oof. What a terrible option. That's probably one of the worst things I've seen in league setups. Of course your league is competitive. Everyone gets mulligans to re-enter players that didn't work out. Brutal.
It hasn't really helped me, as I have kids and can't pick up instantly on the news. I've only once picked someone up on news, and every other time found the guy already picked up when I went to check. But, it was their league and their rules, and I've come to enjoy it, even if it doesn't help me relative to them. Leagues with this setting probably tend to have freaks in them, and I find playing with freaks to be fun.
Works both ways actually. In today's world, many many many managers are able to access there leagues/rosters from work (or where ever they may be),. I have a couple leagues where waivers end on Wednesday morning. While I am at work, the available free agents are picked over by the other managers in the league using their computers at work. Everyone cannot be glued to their computers during the week either.
I like Starks and am upset with myself for not picking him up last week- someone beat me by 15 minutes.
They are not added to the lineup, only the roster for next week, and only at the expense of someone on your team not in your lineup.
I am. But I don't really have a choice, as my other options are all on bye. So, fwiw, I'm not dropping anyone to pick up a plug and play RB.
You said you were doing something "strange" in the context of a discussion over lineup decisions. I think there are multiple problem areas going on here, but whatever, bud. Thanks for sharing your predicament
In Foster's favor is the fact this game is for the Texans' season- if they win, they are only 2 back with 8 to play, and they have a decent schedule going forward. Lose, and they have all the time in the world to recover.
I think there's some gamesmanship by Kubiak and Foster will get the start and be an important part of the gameplan. This really is a must-win game for the Texans so I'm putting Foster in my lineup. I think the bigger question is Tate's ability to play with pain in case Foster tweaks his hamstring. If I owned Tate I would be just as concerned because it's not a given that he can finish out the game with those ribs.
This just came out on CBS website, for what it's worth:
Who's going to be the backup to Tate?
Kubiak specifically said "No matter how big the game is, if you don't think a guy could do the job that he'd normally do, your never going to put a player in that situation."
I am starting woodhead over foster. Non-ppr. I am hoping it pans out. Ugh.
Absolutely. He's the team's starting RB and he's starting the game. I don't want to overthink it.
Hopefully not. During pregame it was reported Foster was starting and getting his normal workload. No reported injury or setback on the hamstring so far.
