I trail by 2 points with Rashad Jennings and Megatron still to play - think I might have a shot at a win in week 1 (before I go on to lose all the rest!

)

**lugz** · 08-09-2014 06:40 AM

Still in with a slim chance of a win, valuable lessons learned!

**DarrenSQH** · 08-09-2014 08:03 AM

My fantasy team is absolutely hopeless. needs alot of work!

Im ahead in my other league but thats most down to J Thomas.

**Haymaker** · 08-09-2014 09:15 AM

The two sack fumbles killed me!

**Gatecrasher** · 08-09-2014 09:33 AM

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

Rodgers V Seattle
Doug Martin V Carolina

both let me down big time

**Haymaker** · 08-09-2014 09:36 AM

Need 9 points between Woodhead and Fitzgerald tonight. And hope the Edinburgh Giants don't score anymore!

Looking good for a win for me although Ellington and Gates are certainly capable of scoring 40 odd points between them for the Byrds and the Brees. Both are listed as questionable so I'm pretty confident.

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!

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

**lugz** · 08-09-2014 06:25 PM

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

***Sylar*** · 08-09-2014 06:38 PM

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?

**lugz** · 08-09-2014 07:00 PM

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

***Sylar*** · 08-09-2014 07:41 PM

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

i picked him up in another league

***Sylar*** · 09-09-2014 06:45 AM

Megatron. Delivers.

**HibsMax** · 09-09-2014 02:52 PM

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.

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** · 10-09-2014 08:39 AM

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

***Sylar*** · 10-09-2014 08:44 AM

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!

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!
