    Fecker, you nabbed ponder from under my nose and I ended up with gabbert as my backup, hopefully Stafford doesn't go down or I'm ****ed


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,216 ✭✭✭Danger_dave1


    QB : RG3
    RB: LeSean McCoy
    RB: Cj Spiller
    WR: Greg Jennings
    WR: Victor Cruz
    WR: Vincent Jackson
    TE: Brent Celek
    Flex: Jeremy Maclin
    D: Falcons
    Kick: Mike Nugent

    Back QB is alex smith..... oh dear. If Maclin stays fit he could be the best flex on the market..

    Great team there dave


  • Moderators, Computer Games Moderators, Recreation & Hobbies Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 16,139 Mod ✭✭✭✭adrian522


    Smith was a decent fantasy QB last year, not great by any means but solid, consistent 10 points per game, decent backup I think.

    Managed to make divisions for the Fantasy League, did a random draw using Excel and we now have four divisions.

    So division winners and the two wildcards will make the playoffs


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,599 ✭✭✭matthew8


    I'm not happy we've set up divisions. It is an impediment to the best teams getting through to the playoffs.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,514 ✭✭✭BigBadRob83


    FOr whatever reason when everyone was in one division, each team had a bye week, which makes no sense for fantasy football. Divisions fixed that problem.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,599 ✭✭✭matthew8


    Well I suppose that makes it worth it.


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,216 ✭✭✭Danger_dave1


    Looking to trade Vincent Jackson for a running back any takers ?

    Has everyone got there team's ready to go? :p


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,599 ✭✭✭matthew8


    Heli you dropped Wells to waivers and I claimed him. I want to make sure that wasn't a mistake as you don't typically see starting RBs on waivers.

    No fire away mate, happy with the other RBs I have


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,599 ✭✭✭matthew8


    You're new to this aren't you? If you are, a little tip. Cutting Wells was foolish. You may think he's worthless but in a league with 2 RBs and a flex there will always be HB-needy guys who you can sell guys like Wells to and you could've traded him for a start-worthy WR.


  • Moderators, Science, Health & Environment Moderators Posts: 21,666 Mod ✭✭✭✭helimachoptor


    Indeed I am.. But the best way to learn is to make your own mistakes


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,599 ✭✭✭matthew8


    Proposed a trade to you there ROB. David Wilson for Ryan Williams.

    Thanks but no thanks man, no interest, especially after Wilson's 'performance' the other night.
    Think Ryan Williams has much better chance to start than David Wilson and not inclined to give you Beanie Wells handcuff


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,599 ✭✭✭matthew8


    Well week 1 it's me and mikemac and we're headed for a grandstand finish. At first it seemed I was off to the races with Garcon and Graham beasting it up early but the gap has been closing. 84.8-72.7 to me, I have BJGE and Kaeding to play while mike has Rice and Malcom Floyd.

    yep its awful

    yep its awful

    I literally can just about be bothered to change my team due it being so awful


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 12,395 ✭✭✭✭mikemac1


    Missed the draft as I forgot my username and password and my password to my email address :rolleyes:

    Very helpful Indian chap sorted out my Yahoo account this evening


    Another thumbs down for the ESPN layout, a blind person designed this as it sure isn't user friendly

    Had a good week in the fantasy football...

    We're will you be ranked in the BFL ? :p

    Objectively the season is heading for disaster. I can play defense and run the ball, but the real life Jaguars did that last year and finished 5-11. Loving the 3-4 in Carolina but the pass is a disaster. Only comfort is I think I'm not alone.

    Is that you that had Cutler and got 2.2 points? Says its one of the Daves.

    Wow 2.2 points. It didn't look like it. Looked like .25. The real worry though is Garcon/Washington.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 12,395 ✭✭✭✭mikemac1


    Do ESPN look your weekly lineup after Thursday night football?

    It's Sunday morning, I want to change but I don't think I can

    Am I doing it wrong? :o

    No it only locks any Packers or Bears players you had in lineup. Should be able to change everyone else


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,599 ✭✭✭matthew8


    If Cutler's performance wasn't bad enough, Pierre Garcon and Nate Washington aren't expected to play. At least I have Harvin against the Colts, BJGE against the Browns run defense, the the Bengals D against Brandon Weeden. Raoul if you can't win this, you should be banned from all fantasy activity. Andrew Hawkins and Davone Bess starting, unless I get some good news about Garcon/Washington.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,599 ✭✭✭matthew8


    Well Raoul a complete disaster for me but your team in itself was pretty good. Cutler playing awful, Jackson getting sat for spiking the ball, Washington/Garcon getting injured, I hope all this sorts itself out.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,795 ✭✭✭✭Pudsy33


    You all laughed at me drafting Cam before Brees, but I went 2-0 as the Panthers beat the Saints. Mwuhahahahah!


  • Moderators, Science, Health & Environment Moderators Posts: 21,666 Mod ✭✭✭✭helimachoptor


    Yeah Rivers will have gotten me some good points too, was a good shootout yesterday for you Pudsy!

    I'm looking to trade with somebody. I need a back RB who actually plays any snaps at all. With Forte and Richardson both pretty injury prone I could do with a back up.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,599 ✭✭✭matthew8


    I hope I don't play you in the playoffs mikemac, I'm tired of rooting against Ray Rice and glad I'm done with it. Good chance for you this week, 9 of my 10 players are away from home, and Steven Jackson, the lone home player, has a matchup nightmare against the Seahawks defense.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,599 ✭✭✭matthew8


    Gee this is shocking, mikemac playing Wallace on a bye and I still lose. No player in the double digits. Speaking of mikemac playing on a bye and the lack of activity on here, are we going to start showing a bit more enthusiasm or am I talking to myself?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 13,224 ✭✭✭✭SantryRed


    God I hate Marcedes Lewis, he does nothing when I play him and has scored TDs in the two games I haven't.

    Up by thirty, I've Witten to play, Luke has Manning,Forte and Jackson.

    Worried!!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,795 ✭✭✭✭Pudsy33


    Lads, im tearing this thing apart.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,514 ✭✭✭BigBadRob83


    Getting killed by Heli, only 55 points and 32 of those came from Tom Brady, one-man team at the moment.

    Pitta 0, Hicks out and nothing from rest of my team, aaaahhh!!


  • Moderators, Science, Health & Environment Moderators Posts: 21,666 Mod ✭✭✭✭helimachoptor


    Lessons available Rob :cool:

    However I have no idea what i'm doing :pac::pac:


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 13,224 ✭✭✭✭SantryRed


    2-2 :D


  • Registered Users Posts: 842 ✭✭✭Shane.C


    Matt Ryan looking like a great pick for me:) MVP status already!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,791 ✭✭✭Raoul


    Dont forget to change your team before the game tonight!! Unless you are the Baltimore Buccs :)
