I don't know the answer, but total points is irrelevant for 1st 13 weeks. It's each weekly total that matters. How many times do the cheaper combo out score the pricey stud (if they do at all)? That's what matters for 13 weeks anyway.flc735 said:
Bingo. Its not about total points for 13 weeks so your numbers don't mean what you think they mean.
As far as data goes, I'm analysing all 17 weeks to get a bigger sample size. Divide 451/17 and 452/17 to get the points per game = 26.2 ppg. The answer is the same. I made a fake mfl league with the scoring this contestcontesto get these uses to compare the numbers if you want to look for yourself
For the 1st 13 weeks Luck/Bortles outscores Brees/Manning 8 out of 13 weeks. I think the other important question is this no1/cheapo better than 3/4 just happen to be the case last year or is norm in any given year. My guess is in 2013 the no1 guy would of been best as well as Manning was the clear no1. But in 2012 the top 4 were pretty close and better play might of been 3/4.
It would have held true with Rodgers as well. There is a big difference between those top 1-2 qb's vs the next tier or qb's. Who ever you think will be the top qb is the guy you should take. Save money on your backup and use it to help you elsewhere. That is the best use of your money at qb in this contest.
No I don't. But that's irrelevant. Even if I did it wouldn't change the fact that the points don't carry over to next week. If Gronk gets injured in week 7 are you still willing to say all of the final 250 will have him? Heck, even if he's healthy I'm pretty sure that not all final 250 teams will have him.East Coast Bias said:
Cooks and Cooper are going to get a ton of targets, and Shorts and Moncrief represented value. It appears Dorsett might have been a better choice, but I can live with that.
i think without a purposely bad roster, or one of the ones that still has nelson on it, you're safe this week.
each week.
I am, just haven't had a chance to get all the rosters uploaded yet. I mentioned somewhere upthread that I wouldn't have it ready for last night's game but will fire it up in time for Sunday.

You are the man!I am, just haven't had a chance to get all the rosters uploaded yet. I mentioned somewhere upthread that I wouldn't have it ready for last night's game but will fire it up in time for Sunday.
121$ spent on QB (9qb's including luck and Rodgers) and 26$ at RB (2 RB's) is the random worst non rule reading roster I have found so far.
For those of you who are new to this thread, Iggy's live update is awesome. It includes up to the minute projected cut lines, scores, and other wonderful bits of statistical information to track your team. Adds to the enjoyment of the contest immensely. Frankly, FBG should pay Iggy for it and make it "official". Until they do, tip the man for what has to be hours of work.I am, just haven't had a chance to get all the rosters uploaded yet.

Here's my lineup and my take for each position.
Bye weeks 8 and 10 are my biggest worries, as I have only Tanneyhill in Week 8 and I lose a DEF.
In week 10, I have 3 RBs on a bye, but I still have AP, Duggy and Mathews, and I lose two TEs.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tanny could emerge as close to a top 5 QB this year with his new weapons. Bradford could also do so with the offense in Philly.
Taylor is just an easy pick at $5. His legs and the weapons he has in Buffalo should help throw at 20pt games here and there.
Looking back Tom was probably a steal at $14, but it was against Pittsburgh. Let's see him next week vs Buffalo.
Ryan Tannehill $15 He was a surprise top 10 QB last year and gets more weapons this year.
Sam Bradford $13 Sam has to stay healthy 1 year and if Nicky Foles can put up crazy numbers, Bradford can do even better. $13 is a steal
Tyrod Taylor $5 Unless Taylor just completely flops, you can't beat $5 and the upside he has. He could have a few #1 weeks at QB.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Went with two studs and then a cast that can have big games here and there. Looking for big things out of Woodhead, Martin and Mathews.
Bush should have a few good games here and there and can easily catch 4-8 balls on a given day as well as an occasional run here and there.
Adrian Peterson $32 I see AP setting things on fire this year. Let's just hope his style doesn't get him injured
Frank Gore $22 Frank is old, but the offense will keep him fresher. Prolific offense and spread means more open field.
Danny Woodhead $12 He was a beast before he got hurt and he will continue this year. PPR machine and Gordon has shown zero so far.
Doug Martin $12 If all the talk out of camp is true, this could be the gem pick of them all.
Reggie Bush $10 Bush still has it and I only need him to catch a few passes and make some plays to get my through some bad weeks.
Ryan Mathews $8 Seriously, have you seen the offense in Philly and with DeMarco coming up all those carries, it's $ in the bank & he looks good.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Went with 7 WRs and hoping to get big games from the bottom 4. Dorsett could blow it up a few games, Jones could have some monster days.
Aiken is #2 in Baltimore and for the price you can't beat it.
Royal should be steady and can easily have some big games from time to time with Chicago always being down.
Only thing I would have done different maybe is taken Julio $26 and dropped off Jones $9 and upgraded Agholor $17.
To take Brown $33, I'd have to shed another $7, so I'm most likely have dropped Davis $7 or Reed $7 at TE.
Golden Tate $19 I thought Tate was overrated in Seattle, but last year showed he is the real deal. Steal at $19
Amari Cooper $19 This guy does everything, He can PR, KR, run the ball, screens, bombs, and probably play QB.
Nelson Agholor $17 Philly offense and a truely great WR even as a rookie. I wanted to get Cooks but ran out of money.
Marvin Jones $9 Looking for him to duplicate his 10 TD season a few years ago when he was healthy.
Kamar Aiken $6 #2 in Baltimore for now, and not sure Perryman will even do much this year if he's able to get on the field, high upside.
Phillip Dorsett $5 #3 WR in this offense is just as good as being a #2. Now just need him to show up as a rookie.
Eddie Royal $4 He's back with Cutler from his Denver days. He was a PPR dynamo, and there is nobody in his way in Chicago. Easy choice
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Davis said he's the healthiest he's been in awhile and I'm looking for him to get back to his old form or at least some of it.
Reed can't stay healthy, but if he can, he will catch a lot of passes and score occasionally.
Rivera had some huge games last year and with Cooper on the outside and Latavis and Carr in their 2nd years, Rivera could continue to have big games.
He's basically a big WR playing TE. Thought Green would fill in for Gates through the first 4 games, possibly more, Concussion news out now
Gronk is a beast, but at $33, I would need to drop Jones $9, Reed $7, Green $6, Bush $10 and then moved down a $4 DEF to a $3 one.
After week 1, it makes you want to second guess... lol
Vernon Davis $7 Davis is a beast, he just has an inconsistent QB to throw him the ball & he hasn't been healthy. 2015 is a new yr; should be good
Jordan Reed $7 He just needs to stay healthy as the QBs in WAS will need all the help he can get. Similar body to Dewayne Allen of the Colts.
Mychal Rivera $6 WR lined up as a TE. He will make match-up nightmares and will continue to get them with Cooper and Murray to worry about.
Ladarius Green $6 Ughh, might not be a good pick. Under concussion protocol which put him on the bench last year for last 3 games..
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Went with 3 kickers, and glad I did after Scobee's nightmare start last night. Just worried about Scobee on this list. Looking for a nice bounce back next week.
Greg Zuerlein $4 Greg the leg... Looking for some long FGs from this guy and playing in the dome should help. Looking for more scoring this year.
Josh Scobee $2 Was a steal at $2, but after last night's game, just worried if he won't get cut soon.
Sebastian Janikowski $2 Janikowski always has some huge games and he looked good this presason as well.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Both defenses are improved from last year. Worried more about TB than the Jags. I was originally at 3 DEF, but had to move things around and ended up with just two.
I hope it doesn't come back to bite me in the butt. These are simply dart throws at these prices, and DEF are hit or miss, so not much to worry about or second guess on these picks.
Jacksonville Jaguars $4
Tampa Bay Buccaneers $4
