[KirkyK]

i wouldnt say that, andrew luck has brought you right back in it :agree: onto tonight games to determine the winner

Yeah may have jumped the gun a bit! Still need some picks and failed drives from rivers giving my kicker plenty of chances! Patterson outrushing AP was a bit painful though!

[James.]

I'm still trying to figure out if I had bad match ups or my team sucks :greengrin

Rodgers V Seattle
Doug Martin V Carolina

both let me down big time

Your receivers are going to do well for you this year I think

[lugz]

Ray Rice gone, absolute ****bag who should be locked up.

[Sylar]

Rice added: “Anybody knows the rule of a husband. If you go biblically, the husband is the head of a household. My job is to lead my family, my job is to lead my wife. My job is to lead in whatever I do. And if I’m not being the example, then my family crumbles.”

What a lovely guy, eh? :rolleyes:

[lugz]

ok so I've no got a clue when it comes to waivers?? ive submitted 2 but don't know what happens next?

[Gatecrasher]

Inthink you fund out on wednesdays if you get your guys or not.

[Sylar]

With Rice being dumped, suddenly my selection of Bernard Pierce doesn't look too bad! :greengrin

:greengrin

i picked him up in another league :agree:

[Sylar]

Megatron. Delivers. :agree:

[HibsMax]

I have four fantasy teams. Two I drafted, two were on auto draft. Guess which two won and which two lost? LOL.

This was a funny week. In general I am happy with the players that I drafted, or were drafted for me, but there were a few pokes in the eye - especially Jamaal Charles.

[HibsMax]

ok so I've no got a clue when it comes to waivers?? ive submitted 2 but don't know what happens next?

You wait. You will most likely only get one of the guys because once you make one waiver wire pickup, you go to the end of the list. If nobody else wants your second pick then he's yours.

[Gatecrasher]

I got the guys I wanted, I thought I would be clever and changed to a Dome kicker but the offence needs to get that far up the field for the kicker to do his work :rolleyes:

[Sylar]

Can someone elucidate how the draft waiver order works?! I was 16th so my effort to pick up Justin Forsett was unsurprisingly unsuccessful.

I hadn't placed any claims prior to this, so I'm curious as to why I started at the bottom?

You are top of the league aren't you?

Edit: you are top of the overall standings but behind The Revis Islanders in your division... strange.

That was what I had wondered too but surely the waver order was determined before the outcome of week 1's games, as we could submit requests prior to the games being played this weekend?

It doesn't matter and I don't want to be seen to be being pissy - I was simply curious! :greengrin

I think Ayrshire is above me because of the point differential of scored vs conceded.

There were no waivers before the games started last week as free agency was still open, once the games start (Thursday night) you can't change your roster till the waivers are processed on the next Wednesday, once the waiver order is sorted. So because you were top overall after the first games you were last in the waiver order.

I'm not sure on the standings, you have a better points differential than Ayrshire. The only thing I can think of is that wins over divisional rivals are worth more in the divisional standings tie-breakers than points differential (which is worth more in overall)? Ayrshire was the only one in the SOL division to beat a rival so he goes top?

That makes sense.

Even 3 years on, everyday's a school-day with this! :greengrin

[HibsMax]

Managed to pick up Josh Gordon in a couple of the leagues I am in. Now just gotta pray for his suspension to be completely overturned.

[James.]

Justin Forsett?? Lorenzo Taliaferro is the RB to own in Baltimore now :wink:

[hibsbollah]

Quite chuffed to pick up James Starks from the Pack. My RBs are garbage this season:greengrin

It certainly looks like it. 20 yards last week :grr:

[Sylar]

Decent night for Bernard Pierce vs Justin Forsett - shame I had him on my bench!

[Gatecrasher]

Remember and set your line ups, less than 3 hours till football :flag:

Go Pack!

[Sylar]

Mon' the Jets (as it'll keep Rodgers off the field and prevent me taking a hiding this week)! :greengrin

:flag:

[KirkyK]

I need a Kenny Stills update!

Go Vikes and my new RB Asiata against the Patsies :agree:

Go on my son!!!But Pats tie it up now 7-7.

[lugz]

jj watt catches td, does that mean if you had the texans D you'd get extra points?

[James.]

No I'm afraid not. Only TDs that count for D are ones returned from interceptions.

[lugz]

No I'm afraid not. Only TDs that count for D are ones returned from interceptions.

cool I've no got them anyway, just a unusual situation to come up

[Sylar]

Alfred Morris = boss.

[Calvin]

I need 14 yards from Anquan tonight to go 2-0. I'll be slightly annoyed if he doesn't achieve this.

[Haymaker]

I need 14 yards from Anquan tonight to go 2-0. I'll be slightly annoyed if he doesn't achieve this.

I hope he gets 13 :greengrin

[lugz]

I've had a great week 2, always good to wake up to Marshall having 3TDs. Now Reggie Wayne can take it easy on the eagles and let us go 2-0.

oh and if anyone still thinks Steve Johnson was a good pick up im open to offers haha

[Sylar]

Unless Darren Sproles goes mental tonight, I'm looking OK for a 2-0 start :agree:

[James.]

Unless Darren Sproles goes mental tonight, I'm looking OK for a 2-0 start :agree:

Looking a bit dodgy for me. Went to bed expecting Forté to give me a commanding lead and he only scored 3 points. DH has Riley Cooper left and I'm 7 points ahead.

Its too close to call - Fantasy's very own Scottish referendum :greengrin

[Sergio sledge]

Victory is already in the bag for me with LeSean McCoy and Jeremy Maclin still to play tonight. Loch Ness Monsters move to 2-0-0.

[DarrenSQH]

I may be the worst fantasy player ever. Gates on the bench as he was playing the Seahawks. De Sean Jackson injured.

In my other league my QB was RG3 and had Jamal Charles who both are injured.

[H18sry]

Humped :aok:

[hibsbollah]

0-2:rolleyes:

[KirkyK]

Knile Davis with 22 points on my bench :rolleyes:

[lugz]

Mark Ingram out for a month:grr:

[HibsMax]

This was a pish week for me. Jamaal Charles. Out. AJ Green. Out. Ryan Mathews. Out. Carson Palmer. Out (but just a backup anyway). I benched Stevan Ridley this week and he scored more than all my other RBs combined. Lot of stud players not delivering. Marques Coulston. 0 points. Still, at least I should be near the head of the waiver wire!

[Sylar]

Wow, that was close! Won by exactly 2 points!

Thank goodness Doug Martin was IA this week and Gatey failed to remove him from the starting lineup :greengrin

[KirkyK]

106 points and I lost :grr:

[brythehibby]

First win on the board despite RG III getting injured early on

[SmithyHibee]

106 points and I lost :grr:

Ahmad Bradshaw nicked it for me!

[Gatecrasher]

Wow, that was close! Won by exactly 2 points!

Thank goodness Doug Martin was IA this week and Gatey failed to remove him from the starting lineup :greengrin

He was probable all day and I thought I would risk it. Not to mention the noob move with changing my Defence as well. I completetly shot myself in the foot this week. :rolleyes:

[Sylar]

#firstplaceproblems :wink:

[KirkyK]

I thought I had a decent chance with Andrew Luck still to go 21 points up against your three players, unfortunately not! To be fair I was only in it because Jordy Nelson scored about 27 points

[Sylar]

#firstplaceproblems :wink:

Ronnie Hillman problems...:greengrin

[Sylar]

Byrds and the Brees can **** right off :agree:

[lugz]

just brought in someone whos out till week 12 haha, rookie mistake!!

Haha. What did I do?

My team needs all the help it can get.

[Sylar]

Haha. What did I do?

My team needs all the help it can get.

I wanted Bobby Rainey as my RB regime is a wee bit limited just now with Ronnie Hillman counting splinters in his arse :greengrin

I managed to swap out my rookie TE who isn't playing for the Giants TE, who leads their team on receiving yards...I also got him as a Free Agent, which was surprising!

[Sergio sledge]

You only got him as a free agent because I put my waiver claims in the wrong order and got Niles Paul first... :greengrin

[Haymaker]

Who had AP? As he has been deactivated this morning.

[HibsMax]

Sssssh.

I take it everyone just tried to claim Asiata or whatever the backups name is. I know i did.

[HibsMax]

I take it everyone just tried to claim Asiata or whatever the backups name is. I know i did.
Yeah, I tried too. Not sure if I will be successful, I can't see anything about the waiver wire on the mobile app and the site is blocked at work.

[hibsbollah]

I take it everyone just tried to claim Asiata or whatever the backups name is. I know i did.

Asiata got points for me last week but I cut him to make room for darren mcfadden instead :hilarious Then I heard about APs about turn, tried to get him back but im way down the waiver list now.

Absolutely raging :grr:

I have a waiver request for him and I am #2 on the list. I can't see who is above me so I don't know if that person even needs a player / RB. I can manage with out him, just hoping that Jamaal is not out for too long but Mathews injury is more likely a multi-week thing. Getting two injuries to starters in the same position is crappy luck in a 16 player league.

[KirkyK]

Who had AP? As he has been deactivated this morning.

Yeah I was a bit late to the action, no hope of getting anyone decent now, hopefully Vereen, West and a first string Knile Davis for a while will do me ok.

I submitted one for him too but I was down at 7 so have since deleted it. I have 3 decent RBs and if Hillman finally recovers from his illness, he should be productive.

[NOLA]

so i should delete my waiver request for asiata as it seems everyone above me has a claim in fr him :greengrin

[Sylar]

Sacks, interceptions, fumble recoveries?

I spied Devin Hester still available on the waiver wire - he had a monster game against Tampa Bay but his record-breaking punt return touchdown didn't count for personal points - just DEF/S.

[Sylar]

One of my wide receivers just threw a TD :greengrin

[lugz]

so i trade in Brian Quick who scores but isn't picked. I feel a loss coming on already!

[KirkyK]

If Andrew Luck could have a second half similar to his first that'd be great

[lugz]

If Andrew Luck could have a second half similar to his first that'd be great

If he could hit Reggie Wayne that would be great as well, must be his turn next for a TD?

[DH1875]

With Gatey picking 2 IA players, this really is a lot closer than it should be.

[DH1875]

One of my wide receivers just threw a TD :greengrin


How many points do you get for that :greengrin.

I was projected massively behind all weekend, then about half an hour ago my team started to make a jump.

Wilson passing to Lynch for a TD was a big help. If Martellus Bennett has a good week though it might not be over.

[James.]

I miss the days when the Seahawks were dreadful. Julius Thomas only has 0.9 points at the half against them :grr:

Yeah I thought I might have had some decent match ups this week, enough to get me off the mark at least, I've been favoured in every game I played and here I am...maybe I need to be an underdog.

[Sergio sledge]

I'm having a low scoring week. Just as well I'm matched up against Haymaker this week then.... :greengrin

The Seahawks second half hasn't exactly gone to plan and Davis is doing well...

[Sylar]

I trail by 8 with both of us having Bears players still to go - mine Cutler and his, Jeffrey, who's currently listed as Questionable...

A good night for Jeffrey is a good night for Cutler so I'm not done yet.

[NOLA]

if Jay Cutler wants to twist an ankle while out walking the dog i wouldnt be unhappy :wink: gonna be a close end to our matchup

[SmithyHibee]

I slumped to my first defeat, beaten by 3.90 points, painful

I've lost this week, 40 points behind with Marshall to play. No one has performed this week for me.

Interesting trade. I'm not voting against it.

[Sylar]

Hitting the waiver wire hard this week - reckon Pitta will be out for the season as that's his second dislocated hip (which is quite difficult to do once, never mind twice!) and could possibly be a career-ender.

Also, players like Hillman and Amendola are wasting space just now!

[lugz]

Rookie question: Why do i get a vote on a trade not involving my team?

Me too! I think I said this before but a 16-team league is rough when your two starting RBs are out injured.

[Sylar]

It does feel that leagues this big are more about luck than skill in all honesty - acquire a reasonable team and be lucky with injuries and you'll be fine.

You start picking up injuries and it's problematic as so many people in a waiver order means it becomes difficult to pick up replacements.

I would give you a better deal than that for Eddie Lacy, I have some top receivers sitting on the bench most weeks way better than what you're getting with that trade:confused:

Yes, that would be bad form... :greengrin

Who are the top receivers sitting on your bench anyway? Terrance Williams is on a par with anyone on your bench I would say.

I don't think it is that bad a deal for Haymaker, two pretty steady fantasy scorers (which he needs right now) for someone who has been poor so far this season but who I can afford to stash and hope he picks up some form. Haymaker can't afford to do that.

:agree: He's done very little for me, I need some steady points. His highest was 6 points so far. Shonn Greene has double Lacys points. Now while he isn't as good, he IS scoring and that is something I need.

Now watch him go rush for 3,000 yards :rolleyes:

Terrance Williams is a donkey compared to some of my studs:greengrin

there is no doubt in my mind that Eddie Lacy will come good in a very big way (he's been up against some good defences in recent weeks), so im surprised Haymaker went for it, but I guess you both know your own business:greengrin

I was just looking at one of my other teams and this week could be interesting. Six bench players - I have four players on a bye with the remaining two being Jake Locker and Darren McFadden. 6 out of 9 of the players on my roster are playing on Monday night. :)

New England D/ST
Jamaal Charles (subject to practice and injury reports)
Dwayne Bowe
Travis Kelce

What could go wrong? LOL.

[James.]

Wasn't holding out much hope on getting T-Rich but pleased to pick up Ladarius Green. I had an eye on him during the draft but he got picked before I could take him. Has a nice match up with the Jags this week while Julius Thomas is on his bye.

Has he been awful or should we be looking more toward Brady? I checked ESPN and Amendola has 3 receptions on 8 targets for 16 yards. Compare that to Edelman with 22 receptions from 28 targets for 260 yards. Night and day but he has received almost 4x the number of looks.

That said, I don't think I want any Patriots receivers on my team. I even read recently that Brady is almost of no significance in fantasy land (I'm not dropping him in my other league though since, hopefully, this is just a slow start and maybe calf-related).

[hibsbollah]

Gents you're offers are tempting however I can't afford to let Dez or Gio go.

Bortles for Fred Jackson?

[Calvin]

I really screwed up. When Chad Henne had that great week 1 I picked him up and let Bortles go as I thought there was no chance he'd be starting by week 4, even though I drafted him because I thought he'd be starting by week 4.

Now I'm QBless for the week. The week that my star RB and defense are also missing. And Kyle Rudolph is out of the picture.

And to make matters worse, I was going to pick up Jordan Matthews last week after Dameshek said he fancied him to score a TD at the weekend but I never. Numpty.

[KirkyK]

I thought I might be pushing it a little! I only picked up cousins for the purpose of trading.

I'll see if any other offers can be made

Ive totally made an asp of it as well. Had it in my head that the broncos weren't on their bye till week 9 and that's why I took Vick as my back up QB. Looks like I'm screwed as dont have a QB at the moment lol.

Fitzgerald is available in 2 days guys in FA, worries over :wink:

I've picked up Mike Glennon as a FA. Reckon he should start at the weekend and fill the void for a week.

I figured one of them would be decent this year so I took Edelmen early and also picked up Amendola with my second to last pick just incase.

Edelmen has been good for me as he gets runs as well as receptions - till to score a TD mind you!

I'm not sure if Brady just doesn't trust Amendola as he's missed a couple of important targets that have gone his way!

[Sylar]

What a start last night! Alfred Morris + Larry Donnell = points! :greengrin

Donnell with 3 touchdowns!

[lugz]

well according to the nfl.com start em sit em article my team is to have a blinder this week, guaranteed loss now :wink:

[Sylar]

I'm glad I checked the score this morning as I still had the Broncos penned in as my defense, in spite of them being on a bye-week.

Not that there was a wealth of alternatives available but the Ravens should at least get me some points, rather than none!

That's what I thought when I picked up the Redskins. I literally would have been better not bothering.

[hibsbollah]

I see the Celek Few has picked up TRich, who I lost patience with last week. I play Celek Few this week, if he has a big game I will officially throw up my hands and admit this season is a write off:na na:

T Rich touchdown in the first quarter. You couldn't ****ing make it up.

[Sylar]

Looks like my gamble to start with Megatron isn't paying off - he's clearly hurting and can't get open! He shouldn't be on the field as he's clearly struggling.

I expected Golden Tate to have a big season opposite him and was desperate to get him for fantasy. Hasnt done much yet though...

Edit, 100 yds for him now.

:greengrin typical that I've been badly let down by the Eagles v 49ers game. McCoy, Maclin and Crabtree failed miserably, particularly McCoy. Heading for my first loss this week unless the Patriots D put up some miracle score.

[Sylar]

I need Julian Edelmen and Stephen Gotskowski to find 20 points between them tonight - loss for me too I reckon.

[H18sry]

Eagles defence with 3 TD's was my top scorer

[Gatecrasher]

I'm kind of gutted I lost last night, I thought my team had done quite well.

[Haymaker]

Eddie Lacy typically had an alright night (11 points) after I traded him however Terrence Williams, Eddie Royal and Matt Asiata had belters, 30 points clear with two still to play (Brady and The Gronk) so maybe that trade wasn't so bad :greengrin

[Calvin]

I think I may be the worst ever fantasy team to go 4-0.

Good effort from your team but you got :slipper: :greengrin

[James.]

Not a bad weekend for me considering two of my top three were on their bye. Tony Romo proving his worth again :aok:

[HibsMax]

I'm down 33 points with 3 to go, but Haymaker has Brady and Gronk to go. I Have Brady in another league but I benched him for Bridgewater (to replace the inured Palmer - now Teddy is injured!). Nothing against Brady but his OLine is not doing their job and he's being rushed / hit all the time. Hopefully with injuries healing and BYE week players returning I will have better luck.

In another league, I have already won this week with 3 players still to go:
Jamaal Charles
Stevan Ridley
Travis Kelce

Another league I have 30 points to make up with 4 players to go:
Jamaal Charles
Stevan Ridley
Travis Kelce
Pats D/ST

I'm hoping Jamaal Charles is ready to pound dirt.

[lugz]

Back to 2-2, Was getting some funny looks at Wembley when i was celebrating my players TDs haha

And the miracle score from the Pats D? -2 points! I'd have been better off playing without a defence.....

[Haymaker]

I lost by .26 of a point.

POINT 26!

And I had a better scoring QB and better scoring RB on my bench once again.

For ****s sake. :rolleyes:

[KirkyK]

You and me both Panthers scored -4! Get myself off the board now 1-3

Jamaal came through for me, as did Kelce. Phew.

EDIT: I had 16 additional points on my bench if I had picked a little differently.

[Sylar]

Ended up taking Orton since he'll be taking Manuels place, might hang on to Rg3 see if he's worth anything when he returns

I just looked at who is on his bench, I knew that one was a bit of an outsider though :greengrin

[James.]

The league's stats are painfully slow at updating today.

Makes it really difficult to gauge wether Romo is having a bad outing or a terrible outing. :greengrin

Oh and terrible time to bench Kendall Wright. Two TDs already!!

Greg Olsen and Arian Foster getting it done for me tonight!

Could go either way still. Would put my money on you - I'm a tad annoyed about how many points I've left on my bench although pleased I managed to pick up so much FA ability!

[DarrenSQH]

Ellington to the house! 88 yards. Nice lead built up so far for me.

shocking week for me but credit to the edinburgh giants, very easy in the end.

I'd expect that to happen a few more times this season, they're frightening on special teams. If only the Offense could get themselves together it could be a fun year.

[DH1875]

My receivers are crap :boo hoo:

[Sylar]

My second highest scorer thus far is Stephen Gotskowski with a whopping 19 points...

Megatron injured, O'Donnell didn't play, Edelmen not used much by New England last night, Broncos let 20 points in and only got 3 sacks...

Still have Alfred Morris left to play tonight but against Seattle...by contrast, Calvin still has Russel Wilson, Marshawn Lynch and the Seahawks defence still to go...36 point lead for me right now and I suspect I'm staring down a 2-3 barrel.

[Haymaker]

I may well be ahead with neither team with any players left to play however I am still not confident of that W! :greengrin

[Sergio sledge]

Since the Lacy trade I am 0-2..... I think his presence in my team has unsettled LeSean McCoy and Michael Crabtree whose performances over the last few weeks have been abysmal. :greengrin

[Haymaker]

Since the Lacy trade I am 0-2..... I think his presence in my team has unsettled LeSean McCoy and Michael Crabtree whose performances over the last few weeks have been abysmal. :greengrin

As long as Harvin doesn't score me -15 points tonight, I should be victorious. My season is turning around!

[DarrenSQH]

Can't believe Gostkowski scored 19 points, unbelievable.

Think it'll be on a knife edge tonight! Might try and find somewhere in London to go out and watch the game.

[DarrenSQH]

De Sean Jackson waits until my teams already won to bring me in some big points.

Could have done with that next week

[Sylar]

Can't get into the NFL website but Wilson passing for 2 TDs and running for 122 yards and scoring a TD gives me the impression I'm on the losing side this morning! Nicely played Calvin.

Two chopped off touchdowns. That's almost like negative 15 points!

Who did you have before? Maybe I am being naive but I find it difficult to get excited about D/ST and K because the averages over the season are usually pretty close when compared to other positions. But hey, if you're getting an upgrade for free, you can't turn your back on that!

Broncos! I thought they would have been an excellent D/ST this year but they've not managed much! 21 points vs the Packers 46, who seem to generate more INTs/Fumbles than Denver.

Now in the mood for trades, open to offers for any of my players apart from Brandon Marshall, Brian Quick & Mark Ingram.

[hibsbollah]

My dilemma is at what point I give up on Toby Gerhart. He was supposed to be the Jags main weapon getting loads of carries and I drafted him quite high, third round I think. So far he's got me a pitiful 25 points.

[lugz]

Do trades go through instantly?

[HibsMax]

Do trades go through instantly?

No, they need to be approved by the league to safeguard against collusion (cheating).

[HibsMax]

My dilemma is at what point I give up on Toby Gerhart. He was supposed to be the Jags main weapon getting loads of carries and I drafted him quite high, third round I think. So far he's got me a pitiful 25 points.

That is indeed the FF dilemma. It's tough letting go of a player who is either underperforming or injured only to see him bounce back two weeks later and get a ton of points for someone else. The thing is, in our league with 16 players you will be hard-pressed to find a replacement for him...at least a replacement that has a somewhat familiar name.
