Thinking about it more now, will it go through? Or does the two day trade reject deadline mean two full days i.e. trade accepted Friday 1500 (1500-2400 doesn't count), Saturday = Day 1, Sunday = Day 2?

Apologies for being a bit dim on this!

This is what is wrong with some leagues.

You have 3 major players on BYE and you still sneak it.

He won't win.

Anyway... He has Matthews in there. Missing for a while

Ryan Matthews is back this weekend

Raoul · 10-11-2014 4:08pm

Yeah but I presume that he has been in the guys team for a while despite not playing.

PauloConn · 10-11-2014 5:45pm

If McCoy has a great game he'll still sneak it.
It is frustrating as hell though. You scrape around to make a team and then that happens....
I'd be calling shenanigans right there

In fairness McCoy only has to have an average game and i would imagine he will be good to go. Can't see my K + DEF topping McCoy on a good day.

Look at his DEF score....unheard of.

PauloConn · 10-11-2014 5:53pm

Yeah, that was an exceptional score alright. I wouldn't have bet against you at the start

Raoul · 10-11-2014 6:34pm

I actually missed he had McCoy. Yeah nothing worse than losing to that.

JaMarcusHustle · 11-11-2014 9:20am

Looks like the Eagles D did the job for you!

Raoul · 11-11-2014 12:48pm

In a keeper league and my season is over...would you take Peterson and a 9th round pick for Demarius Thomas?

these leagues or so interesting as it really is more like the actual nfl, I would be very interested in taking AP as next season he comes in likely very fresh and we know he wont be banned next year. However short term he wins big so maybe look for a 5-6th round pick.

How many players can you keep at end of season?

Only 2. I originally had him but dropped him as I needed to win some games and it didn't work out.

No. Demarius is probably a 1st rounder anyway and who knows what's happening with AP

What round would you keep AP or Thomas in?

Deco99 · 11-11-2014 4:37pm

Is it worth picking up AP? any chance he plays before end of season?

Prob not but a gamble to take if you're playoff bound with a spare roster spot

Just read he may be back by December, and hopefully he just took up that spare spot and i may be playoff bound. Getting rid of Ronnie Hillman, supposedly injured and last two games its become obvious Manning isnt a fan.

I guessed he would be reinstated alright. The only fear I would of had really is would the vikes play him from a pr standpoint? They are not in a real playoff hunt and mkinnon is performing well

Raoul · 12-11-2014 2:37pm

Further on to my keeper league. Got offered a trade of DT, Edelman and Kelce for Matt Forte and a 2nd round pick. Think I might take this one. You could argue Forte is almost as good as DT.

Almost as good? He's a top 5 pick every year

GoldFour4 · 13-11-2014 2:00pm

Just a question that occurred in my mind as i was setting my lineup in the keeper league this morning. In a keeper league is it acceptable in some cases to start a player on a bye? Sometimes I wonder whether the long term success of the team would be better if I could hold onto a player and take the points hit for that particular week rather than dropping him for someone weaker just so i can have a full lineup.

it's obviously not something I'd do in the normal divisions but the keeper leagues bring up a new set of scenarios.

Any thoughts?

I'd do it in a normal league nevermind a keeper league. The goal is to the win the league, not one single game. In a different league I played Bernard on a bye because I didn't want to drop him or anyone on my bench because my team is balanced really well.

raze_them_all_ · 14-11-2014 12:33am

Got this in offer for julius thomas .

Antonio gates, a first, fourth and fifth for next draft.

I have Zach Ertz and Owen Daniels as my back up tight ends.

I could probably let him go but I'm not sure as I know he will be a star for years

I start bye week players in keeper leagues all the time if Im not comfortable dropping guys that I could possibly hang on to down the road

I'd take that for gronk lets you rebuild, the only problem with thomas he can go games without manning looking his way, might try see if i can turn the 4th and 5th into a second rounder for 2016 actually

Add to that gates being on the way out. Will you get much more than this year? Thomas is a stud. Top 3 player... id be lookin for similar to what I got considering gronks injury history. If you don't get a deal that leaves u happy, so what? You have a stud TE going forward.
Every te has quite games

quite games is one thing but 3 in a row! plus i think ertz will become a stud if he can get into a programme that throws to TE's and have daniels with ravens, ah i counter offered we'll see!

Deco99 · 16-11-2014 3:49am

Pierre garcon over golden tate. Anyone? OBJ and bryant too

Tristram · 16-11-2014 2:37pm

Hope all Foster owners had handcuffed Blue or have a strong back-up candidate.

Wish I'd held on to Blue...

The Bogman · 16-11-2014 10:56pm

The joys of fantasy football...actually spent a good bit of time this week deciding on what WR's to start. 2 that I started combine for 5 points. 2 that I benched combine for 24 points before end of the first quarter. Dont know why i bother....

Tristram · 17-11-2014 3:41am

I have Jonas Gray sitting on my bench having started Ben Tate in one league

Also started Brady (currently -1) with Wilson on bench

Great week

I scored 53 so far this week and have Gray on my bench. He'll have outscored my starting team soon :-P still have Steelers kicker tomorrow and luckily only need 6 points to win. If I loose I'll not half be raging :-P

Tristram · 23-11-2014 12:29pm

Who to start at RB2, Jonas Gray against tough Detroit run D or Trent Richardson against Jacksonville?

Then, Andrew Hawkins or the loser of the Gray/Richardson decision for a flex spot?

Tough one. Gray was good last week but where was he before that? Blount also could cause trouble in the backfield. And Detroit is arguably the best run d in the league.

But then Trent isn't great at all. I would leave Gray on the bench.

Richardson will definitely have more carries today with Bradshaw out, and as said above I think Gray's role will be diminished with Blount being welcomed back to the fold with open arms.

The Lions are only giving up around 70yds per game on the ground and only 4 TDs so far this season, Whereas the Jags are giving up 125yds per game and 8 TDs.

Andrew Luck will be tearing the Jags defense apart with TY and others, so expect room for Trent to run despite the fact that hes not playing well. As for the second part, I'd go with Hawkins in the Flex. I just cant see Jonas Grey doing anything at all today against that Lions DEF

I would have agreed. I have Gray in 4 league 1 of which I had to put him in.

Add these together and it makes sense to leave him on the bench:

Lion Run D + Blount + Being Sent home from Practice = Limited carries.

Raoul · 23-11-2014 9:54pm

I think we got that call right ha

Realt Dearg Sec · 24-11-2014 1:47pm

Anyone know why the Broncos DEF is consistently ranked so highly by sites like ESPN etc? I've been meaning to pick up a different one but I always look at them in 3rd or 4th in the rankings and say I'll leave them in. They never score more than about 6 points, and last night managed a whopping -1. Are the lads doing the weekly rankings actually watching at all? I know I should be going with my own instincts on these things and not going by the rankings, but the truth is I'm a coward. Anyway if anyone in Div 6 wants the Broncos in a trade, they're, uh, really highly ranked...

BKWDR · 24-11-2014 2:15pm

Just as a side note , is it because it's a 16 team league that the waiver moves so slow? I was at W3 for a few weeks only gone to W2 now, but sure there's no one to pick up really.

how does it work post season?

Deco99 · 24-11-2014 5:06pm

I need help, I'm on a losing streak and in danger of missing play offs. I have Golden Tate and Megatron, Jeremy Hill and Bernard, each week i pick the wrong one and putting both in is too risky, do i leave both RBs out and do i seriously considered dropping megatron?

Raoul · 24-11-2014 5:36pm

You really can't drop Megatron. He is liable to have a huge game anytime. Look how many times Stafford targets him, it is ridiculous.

I would probably go with Hill and Megatron. Hill has been very good and the Bengals have gone extremely run heavy. If you played Bernard then you might get lucky and he has a massive play. If I was you I would have traded Tate or Megatron.

Unless those above you pick, you won't move ahead of them

It doesn't. We start fresh every year for draft order etc

Cool, yeah i think its just slow to move as there really isnt that much activity as there isn't a whole lot left.

Would you start both Hill and Bernard if you're alternatives are Mckinnon, Alfred Blue or possibly Sammy Watkins?

aferru · 25-11-2014 9:40pm

Super clash for the the playoff in ww13.

Two questions: stick with Kaepernick vs SEA or going mad and pick up Mettenberger @ HOU
and
Crowell @ BUF or McKinnon vs CAR???

JaMarcusHustle · 26-11-2014 5:13pm

Have waivers always been processed on Thursdays? If so, is there anything to be said for moving this to Wednesdays for next season?

eagle eye · 26-11-2014 5:46pm

I think Thursday is fine. It gives players a chance to see how practice is going if they are in a position where they want to grab a handcuff off the waiver wire.

I don't like the Wednesday morning ones that we have in a few leagues.

Another thing was mentioned there about changing the waiver wire to worst gets first and I like that idea. It keeps things competitive all season.

JaMarcusHustle · 26-11-2014 6:27pm

I'd agree with the worst gets first stipulation too. I think we should have a vote on that in the offseason, or even now while we're guaranteed activity and have it in place for next year.
