OT 2019-2020 RipCityTwo FANTASY FOOTBALL

[hoopsjock]

I have no idea how this season will go, but I absolutely love my squad right now.

One more day until real football!

If only Tyler Herro played football too!

Let him shoot a jumper on field goals and he'd replace Zuerlein.

Effortless range.

The Ravens drafted Justise Hill to be their Kamara and they still have Gus Edwards who was decent at the end of last year.

Philly loves their rookie Miles Sanders. Jordan Howard is more than a capable back too.

Highly doubt Hill becones Kamara and Gus Edwards isnt impressive.

Those guys for Philly are mediocre. Theyre in a title window. Gordon would be a huge upgrade.

Way to go out on a limb and say that a rookie won't become Kamara, ha ha. That doesn't mean that a team that invested in developing a player will just give up on him.

You have no clue what Sanders will be yet either. The Eagles like him enough to have spent a 2nd round pick on him.

Hm, reports say Baltimores interested. Hmmm.

I'm all paid now. Let's do this! How many games before we get a @BonesJones freak out post Some classics last season.

 

[trailblazer18]

@hoopsjock we will have an interesting scoreboard watching weekend for our match-up. You will be pretty much done besides Thomas after the noon games Sunday. I only have 2 players done after the noon games.

I may change my lineup though.

 

[hoopsjock]

Next year if we have 12 players again we should un-nerf the QB since we are only starting 1 now.

Ummm...what does Un-Nerf mean? More points for QB passing TDs?

Nice! 2/3 of the way there; just 4 people left.

 

[hoopsjock]

Yeah, in my opinion it should be 6 points per TD. I kind of understand 4 points in a 10 team league when starting two QB's but less points for a TD has never made sense to me otherwise.

Nobody else willing to go out on a limb and predict league results? You'll be guaranteed to do better than me

I will tonight!

 

[hoopsjock]

Hm, reports say Baltimores interested. Hmmm.

There's also a report that the Eagles made the Chargers an offer of Jordan Howard and a swap of mid round picks for Gordon but they also asked the Chargers to pay part of Gordon's salary too. I just don't think any of these teams are going to give up enough to make a deal work.

...might only be one entry left if you factor the cash pay guys like @hoopsjock and this mysterious Team Perez or what it's called now maybe time for the comish @BonesJones to confirm where we stand???

Hoops' contribution is accounted for. Bones and Perez are still outstanding (I imagine Bones will pay for both tomorrow), as is I believe Hailblazers and one of either The Professional Fan or RipCityWarrior (one has paid, but not sure which).

I vote half of the fine money for paying late goes to @PtldPlatypus so he has motivation to collect and maybe we can get some good broken knee cap stories out of it too

I worked collections for a couple years back in my late teens. I was reprimanded for being too nice.

...interesting trade just went down, snag a player from waivers then instantly trade him?! I guess they were sleeping on the waiver wire or their claim was lower in priority

 

[trailblazer18]

I may change my lineup though.

I have ESPN+ and with that it gives you some added features, like optimizing your line up and percent likelihood you will win based on your opponents current lineup and optimized lineup. If you optimize your lineup your chances go up 1%. I'm guessing it's just starting Trubisky over Rodgers since they have him projected to get more points.

I use my own rankings. I can't stand ESPN's rankings.

Yep, can't just go by ESPN, but felt compelled to let you know what ESPN+ shared.

I think Tortured was higher.

By the way, @BonesJones can you please explain how the waiver order was determined? Shouldn't the 12th pick be #1 on waivers until the season starts or was it opposite of the lottery which I should've been higher too.

Thats a question for ESPN, not me.

Yeah, in my opinion it should be 6 points per TD. I kind of understand 4 points in a 10 team league when starting two QB's but less points for a TD has never made sense to me otherwise.

On top of this with today's rules so heavily favoring offense I think the point system for defense is very strict. Why shouldn't a defensive TD or a return TD be worth the full 6 points? An average game of giving up 22 points and 350 yards shouldn't be negative, in my opinion, at worse it should be 0.

Obviously we can't change any point rules this year so I'm just starting the discussion for next year.

Correct, it should have been reverse draft order for priorities...but looks like it's all out of whack so I wonder if this carried over from last year or WTH?! Once the season starts it will be the usual "Reset Each Week to Inverse Order of Standings"

Yeah, it ended up not really mattering for me but still BS that I wasn't higher.
