Title: NFL Fantasy Football - GAABoard Superbowl 2023
Post by: AZOffaly on June 03, 2010, 09:49:25 AM
Don't worry, it's not actually starting yet, but as I'm off on holidays to Portugal for 2 weeks, with very limited internet access, I want to get a bit of feedback regarding the Tool we use, and even any scoring changes ye'd like to see.

www.nfl.com have launched a new free fantasy game,
www.espn.com has a well established fantasy game, which is the basis for the podcasts they do (ESPN Fantasy Focus Football)
www.yahoo.com is our own 5 year old home.

If anyone has any strong preferences, please let me know and I'll take a look. We've had to have two seperate leagues the past two seasons due to Yahoo capping at 20, so if any of these are better that would be a good start. It has to be head to head (i.e. weekly matchups) though, no league tables of points scored.

Cheers

Good to see this back again. Hoping to go one better than last years final appearance.
One change id like to see this year is the Playoffs moved from weeks 16 & 17 to weeks 15 & 16.
If i remember right i lost my QB, WR & 3 RBs for the final as they were being rested for the playoffs. Ended up fielding a much weakened team and got hammered...

Not sure on which site is the best, maybe someone with experience of all 3 can give an insight...

Just in case this would be forgotten about :D
Preseason games start August 8th
Regular season starts September 9th

I think Yahoo would still be ok to use as last year they sorted out any problems with the waivers with waiver priority...

As a side note does anybody fancy setting up an auction draft outside the official Fantasy Football. You'd need to be fairly serious about it as everyone would have to make the draft.

Alright lads, it's time to start getting thinking about this. Where does the time go. The teams are about to hit training camp, so we need to start gathering names.

I haven't seen a swell of support for switching providers or formats, to I'll go with renewing the Montana and Payton conferences again. I will post details here.

We can trash out season length, scoring etc once we have an idea of numbers, but I'd be hoping for at least 2 x 10 again.

Snake draft. Draft order is determined at random by Yahoo a half hour before the draft.

Head to head league, with 4 playoff spots.

Title: Re: NFL Fantasy Football - GAABoard Superbowl VI
Post by: AZOffaly on August 03, 2010, 05:24:35 PM
I'll post up some stuff beforehand, but basically it's as follows.

We do a live online snake draft, usually takes about an hour and half, using the Yahoo tool. (Go and 'test your system' beforehand). Basically in the draft you have required rosters to fill, and when they are filled you can populate your bench with any combination of the starting positions.

There are numerous draft kits and packs that help in your draft, and if you think you won't make it, you can pre-rank the players in order of who you think are the best. Each time your turn comes around the computer will pick the highest available ranked player, pending roster spot completion. e.g. if you have one pick left, and have not picked a kicker, the computer will get you the highest ranked kicker you have left, even if he's not the highest overall left.

Post by: GalwayBayBoy on August 05, 2010, 01:28:48 PM
There's 13 in Montana now. How many in Payton? To be honest I think 10 or 12 is the optimum number for a fantasy league. 14 is too many IMO as a couple of lads tend to lose interest not to mention it adds potentially another 30 minutes onto the draft. If there is 11 in Payton someone could switch across to make in an even 12 in both.
Title: Re: NFL Fantasy Football - GAABoard Superbowl VI
Post by: AZOffaly on August 05, 2010, 01:31:58 PM
13 in Montana, 12 in Payton. We'll need to make it even anyway. 14 and 12 is not too bad. It'll  just make the draft harder in Montana.
Title: Re: NFL Fantasy Football - GAABoard Superbowl VI
Post by: GalwayBayBoy on August 05, 2010, 02:13:21 PM
Feck it. Hate 14 team leagues. Extra two picks every round means you are really taking long-shots in the middle rounds at marginal players who might not see much gametime anyway. Not to mention the draft goes on forever. Oh well.

Title: Re: NFL Fantasy Football - GAABoard Superbowl VI
Post by: declan85 on August 05, 2010, 02:49:06 PM
A 14 team league will make it very tough and probably should be maxed at that. If each team owner was to keep 2 quarterbacks, a starter and 1 to cover the bye week and if i remember right some bye weeks have 6 teams off then its possible that a team could have no quarterback to replace their starter... So remember lads Manning & Brady with your first two picks ;)

No bother. No need to rush lads, just register. Ye've 3 weeks before the drafts.

By the way, somebody asked earlier on what happens if you miss the draft. Make sure you pre-rank your players and you'll get the highest ranked player that's available to you each time.

Post by: dec on August 05, 2010, 03:47:29 PM
Even if you don't pre rank your players your picks will be whatever the highest ranked available player is according to Yahoo. Their ranking is probably going to be pretty close to the consensus about who are the better players.

Just got this from the NFLUK website...

"Sky air live games at 6:00 p.m. and 9:00 p.m. every Sunday night through the 2010 NFL season, as well as providing coverage of the Saturday and Thursday night games that take place during the final seven weeks of the season. From early January 2011, Sky will show all the live postseason action, followed by Super Bowl XLV live from Dallas on Sunday February 6th. Sky will also have coverage of the Pro Bowl, also from Miami, on Sunday January 31st. In addition to their coverage of live NFL fixtures, Sky will broadcast NFL Network programming, including NFL Total Access, the NFL Network's flagship news program which keeps fans up-to-date with all the latest news from around the league.

ESPN's live coverage of Monday Night Football games kicks off at the start of the regular-season. Before kick-off of every Monday Night game you can review all the action from the previous weekend on Monday Night Countdown."


No mention of the red button games coming back, they lost the rights to those before last season. Might have a look at the GamePass on nfl.com to check the price. Giving UPC enough money at the minute between TV and braodband...

Right lads,

Payton Conference is *CLOSED* for business. 14 teams in and going to post. Does anyone want to do the draft earlier than I had provisionally booked?

Montana has 1 team opening left. Lets try and fill that today, and then I'll put the tin hat on that as well.

For any new lads, take a look at maybe joining a 'mock' draft. They are dry runs for what you would see in our real draft and are well worth doing if you've not seen one or taken part in one.
Title: Re: NFL Fantasy Football - GAABoard Superbowl VI
Post by: AZOffaly on August 06, 2010, 09:18:49 AM
By the way, I think it was declan who was asking about moving the playoff weeks to 15 and 16 instead of 16 and 17, on the basis that a lot of lads get burned when people sit if they have the division wrapped up, etc.

I have no objection to this in principle, but I think the NFL have recognised that themselves, and if you look at the last two weeks of the season, there are a lot more intra division and intra conference games, which mean it'll be harder for people to sit out as the division may not be locked up yet, and wild cards etc will still be in the pot.

Week 16

Carolina @ Pittsburgh
Dallas @ Arizona - Conference game
New England @ Buffalo - Division Game
NY Jets @ Chicago
San Francisco @ Saint Louis - Division Game
Detroit @ Miami
Minnesota @ Philly - Conference Game
Seattle @ Tampa - Conference Game
Washington @ Jacksonville
Baltimore @ Cleveland - Division Game
Tennessee @ Kansas City - Conference Game
Indianapolis @ Oakland - Conference Game
Houston @ Denver - Conference Game
NY Giants @ Green Bay - Conference Game
San Diego @ cincinnatti - Conference Game
New Orleans @ Atlanta - Division Game


Week 17 is *all* division games. On that basis I think it's okay to stay on weeks 16 and 17. What do ye think?

Sorry McGrens, agree with what? I'm saying leave it as is because the NFL have catered for it themselves, whereas Minder (was it?) wanted to move the playoffs forward.

I guess it'll be unlikely that the Colts will be sitting Manning if they are playing the Titans in the last game.

Post by: The Claw on August 06, 2010, 04:01:03 PM
I wouldn't be totally against having it in week 15,16 but I would prefer for it to stay at week 17. Its part of the excitement whether they will start. I remember last year in another league I participated in that I was two points away from winning my leage. I just needed two points from Thomas Jones against the Bengals and he had been killing them all day, all I need was 20 more yards... what happened? Woodhead comes on and takes the last 5 snaps or so, I lose the final.

But that is part of it IMO, you have to pay attention to who usually sits their starters etc

My tuppence worth. Regardless of divisional matchups week 15 and 16 will have a higher number of "honest" games than week 17. There should be more teams still in with a chance of winning divisions, making playoffs etc than there will be in the final match.

I believe a lot of fantasy league in the US do not use week 17 because of the issue of resting players. Use week 17 as a prediction competition to decide the winner between our two conferences.

I think you have to avoid the final being in week 17 at all costs. That is the way most leagues are run. Think about how bad it would be if you had Drew Brees and Chris Johnson on your team already qualified for the playoffs and rested in week 17.

No, but they don't like seeing the good players pulled out in meaningless week 17 games either. I;m easy, but I do like the idea of the Week 17 predictions competition.

Take the points on the new schedule to try and prevent this happening but the fact is there is no evidence that it will.
I think we should experiment with a change for 1 year and if it works well in the real world we can think about reverting back.

OK, I'm all for democracy (when it suits :) ) so done. Playoff semi finals week 15m, finals week 16. We'll use week 17, as suggested for the Superbowl predictions competition.

One other quick vox pop. The option is there now to create divisions in each of the conferences. I could set up two or even 3 divisions, with the winners making the playoffs, and then the next best runner up(s) making the other playoof spots.

For e.g. I could have 2 divisions in Montana. Winner of each division seeds 1 & 2. Seeds 3&4 are the remaining teams with the best record, regardless of division.

Is this of interest?

If you could identify the province/county of the team managers you could break the divisions up on that basis.

Does this affect your schedule?

What happens if one division drafts well and the other doesnt? Say if we ended up with an AFC West and O'Neill wins it at 7-7 after 14 weeks, and a team in the other division (AFC East) has a far superior record and doesnt make the playoffs?

And Dec..., are we not trying to get away from that in the GAA? lol.

Any newbies out there, or even experienced lads. I'd highly recommend a 'mock draft'. You can find the link there on the league page. Make sure you choose a league with 14 teams, to make it representative.

It's handy to walk you through a draft, but also to help you formalise a strategy, and back up plans if a lad you want goes.

Cheers

Other than that, I'll keep this thread updated with Random Fantasy type news, but we are on for the 26th and 27th of August.

Not Tom Brady. He's still playing.

Joe Montana is probably the greatest quarterback to play the game.

How about in the Montana Conference two divisions. The Rice Division (For Jerry) & The Madden Division (for John)

In Payton, the Starr Division for Bart, and the Nameth Division for Broadway Joe.

You mentioned something in jest there AZ about having division 1 and 2 - how about next year or sometime having such a structure whereby the last two in division one fall down and the top 2 in division 2 get "promoted" to division 1? Any newcomers would have to start in division 2. I think it would be interesting, it would at least give us one overall champion

You will be able to see everyone else's squad after the draft and make offers. It is simple enough once you mess around with the site.

AZ - Meathman here.
Title: Re: NFL Fantasy Football - GAABoard Superbowl VI
Post by: AZOffaly on August 23, 2010, 02:18:53 PM
Yep. Exactly that.

When you draft your squad, you can change it all the way through the season.

There are two ways to change it.

Trades (which work as you might think), but there is a transfer window as such. Trades can only be made up to Nov. 13th. That's to stop teams which fall out of contention giving away all their best players to their mates.

Add Free Agent.
Undrafted players are all available, and you can pick up one of them immediately, if you make room on your own roster. This is very handy if one of your guys gets injured, and you need to release him off your squad. You can pick up a Free Agent to replace him straight away. It's not only for injuries though. Theoretically you could change your entire roster this way.

Drafted players who get 'dropped' by other teams go onto the 'waiver wire'. This means they cannot be picked up for 2 days or so, but you can 'Add' them. Each team has a waiver priority, (like your draft position).

As an example, if I drop Braylon Edwards because I'm picking up Jericho Cotcherry, Edwards will go to the Waiver wire. If you want him, and manager X also want him, Yahoo will look at your waiver position to see who wins. (1 beats 12).

Waiver wire position goes by your draft position (Draft last = 1st on Waiver wire). However the kicker is that whenever you pick someone up off waivers in a contest like that, your waiver position goes back to 12, and everyone else moves up one.

By the way, both conference drafts are this week, Thursday for the Montana Conference, and Friday for the Payton. I'll set up the divisions before then.

Try and make it to the draft (2 pm Limerick time :) ) if you can, because if not you have to be careful on your pre-rankings. I missed a draft on a different league last week, because I assumed the draft would move (we only had 6 members the day before the draft). On the last day we got 8 more entrants, and it went ahead. My receivers are Cotcherry, Edwards, Meachem, Mike Williams and Nate Burleson :(

It is, but PPR means Point Per Reception. In other words each time one of your players catches a pass, he gets a point. That makes pass catching running backs and Tight Ends and Receivers more valuable.

In what way is the waiver system on NFL.COM? (By the way, I'm sick of asking if people would prefer a different web site to use). I'll take a look and see if I can modify the Free Agent Pickups. (The waiver wire does work on waiver priority, but I don't believe always giving the 'worst' team first pick is the best way).

are people going to be allowed to sit in on sunday and pick up players. ( basically cheating ). I myself have recently got myself a life and cannot spend sunday nights sitting in front of a computer ?

Yours in sport,

bombidal ( living legend at this game )
I don't understand how you can call this cheating. I don't see the difference between doing it on Sunday and doing it on Tuesday. At least on Sunday you have the opportunity to access a computer, I cannot access yahoo in work when the FAs are unlocked therefore I consider that more unfair.

the game is flawed unless a waiver system can be brought in like on nfl.com/fantasy... the worst teams get the first pick on Wednesday morning....

In what way is the waiver system on NFL.COM? (By the way, I'm sick of asking if people would prefer a different web site to use). I'll take a look and see if I can modify the Free Agent Pickups. (The waiver wire does work on waiver priority, but I don't believe always giving the 'worst' team first pick is the best way).

I think the way it worked last year was very good, anybody sitting watching the games couldnt pick up the next superstar straight away, they had to wait until Wednesday after making the claim on the waivers and they would only get him then if they had the highest waiver priority(lowest number). This gives everyone 2-3 days after the games on Sunday to get to a computer and make a claim. If the settings are still the same as last year then it will work well again...

So explain to me what happens after the regular snake auto draft takes place?
We have a team of 15 players and then what happens?

I don't understand why we have to be available during the draft if its automatic - are there players to be picked up and traded immediately afterward?

I've tried running a mock draft but it wont launch the window......it just posts me the results to my email account
Title: Re: NFL Fantasy Football - GAABoard Superbowl VI
Post by: AZOffaly on August 24, 2010, 03:05:49 PM
The draft is not automatic. A snake draft is where each of us make a manual pick in order 1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8-9-10-11-12-12-11-10-9-8-7-6-5-4-3-2-1 and so on.

If you cannot make the draft, or your system cannot handle it (use the 'test my system' link) then it is important you pre rank your players, or make sure you are happy with the Yahoo ones, as your picks will be automatic when it comes to your turn.

Post by: Capt Pat on August 24, 2010, 03:26:30 PM
I am flexible about changing the draft time. The only problem is you will never get a time to suit everyone. My suggestion is to edit your pre draft rankings slightly and the auto pick function will go BPA throughout the draft. The only fault with that is the system drafts kickers earlier than you might like.

You could still end up with a very competitive team even with an automatic draft although there is a bigger chance that you might end up with a few duds especially towards the middle and end of the draft.

With 12 teams last year the draft was pushing on for well over an hour. With 14 this year I'd say it won't be far off 2 hours alright. The computer will pick for you though if you can't do the whole thing. You'd definitely want to be there to pick your first half a dozen players or so though.

Its very hard to know how to pre-rank your players because it is hard to tell how yahoo will judge it. Foe example, you could have a RB ranked at 50 but the computer might determine that you need a QB and therefore pick a qb you have ranked 60. My advice would be to change the first two rounds ranking to your liking and then broadly leave the rest of the players but move a few players up and down that you really like.

On the waivers, the following will apply.

At the start of the first game of the week through to 8pm Tuesday evening, *ALL* unclaimed players will be put on waivers. Any claims on those players in that timeframe will be treated as Waiver Claims, with the Waiver Rules.

The Waiver Rules will be 'Weekly Rolling List based on standings' i.e. Each Week you will be assigned a Wiaver position based on your current standing in the league. If you claim a player, you will move to last position on the waiver wire for that week.


Any questions give me a shout.

Again - sorry for all the questions. Do we have to draft two Defensive Backs and two Defensive Linemen? The two mock drafts I attempted had no individual defensive players and I don't recall seeing them on the yahoo system. Am I missing something?

Post by: AZOffaly on August 25, 2010, 02:03:18 PM
Yep Seanie, we felt a few years ago that Defensive Players was something we wanted to recognise and reward. DLs are either Defensive Linemen or Linebackers, DBs are Safeties and Cornerbacks.

They should be there alright, and will be available in our draft. I wouldn't be spending a top 7 or 8 round draft pick on them though.

Try this link. You can filter on positions to view players.

To be honest, that rarely happens, but even if it does, don't panic :) Yahoo will make sure you pick a decent player at your turn, even if you get a brain freeze.

A tip for you. Print out one of the top 200 rankings from Yahoo or ESPN or NFL or somewhere like that, and just cross off lads as they get selected.

Decide your draft strategy beforehand if you are unsure of your plan of attack, e.g. 'I'm going heavy on runningbacks early, then Wide Recievers, and am only picking one QB and one TE', or whatever. Then stick to that plan unless something crazy like Chris Johnson falls to you in the 5th round or something like that.

It really is easier than it might sound, but it is no harm to have a printout of the top 200 (at least) players, and a little plan.

One other tip. When I'm waiting for my time to come around, I look at what position I'm thinking of drafting next. So if I want a WR, I'll pull my next favourite 4 or 5 into the queue, and they will disappear as other lads pick them. When it comes to my turn, whatever is left is probably someone I like.

Use the time between your picks to a) keep track of what others are picking, and b) deciding a set of lads you wouldn't mind picking next.

If I am doing pre-ranked player and I include DB and DL as my last picks then I usually only get one or two max in a mock draft. I can't ensure I have the correct positional players by drafting this way.
So my question is what happens if my positions do not match up with the ones the league requires?

You will only be allowed fill the roster positions mandated by the league, so if you have only 1 DB, you will only be able to play 1 DB, you won't be allowed put an extra RB or whatever.

Don't worry though, there'll be loads of DBs and DLs left over if that happens, but I don't think Yahoo will allow you to leave without 2 of each if you are not at the draft.

Good player. Thought he played better at RT last year before they had to move him to the left. Bearing in mind all that he had gone through he's certainly the type of player you'd take into the trenches in Pittsburgh or Tennesse with you!

Very good film, though I was dreading watching it as once I hear the words "true story" and "heartwarming tale" in the same sentence, it's usually lined up to be two horrendous hours. I wouldn't have said that they focussed on the football too much at all, but they managed to make it quite watchable and for the first time ever, I came away thinking Sandra Bullock did a good job.

Agreed, I really liked Lewis' analysis of how the position of left tackle went from being just another man on the O Line to being one of the most important players on the team because of the evolution of the game from a running league to a passing league.

Thought the film did a decent job of it. Bullock was ok, but not sure the role was really deep enough to win an oscar, seemed pretty similar to her other roles.

stilll havent a clue what im to do though (which i hope doesnt spoil things for everyone else)

I think you can join late, but you may miss a pick. There's a 'chat' function there, so we should be able to answer questions. Don't trust any answers that start 'You should draft x here'. :D (especially if you are picking just before me) :)



By the way, I looked at the schedule there. Yahoo have determined that you play each team in your division twice, and two non division games. That seems fair to me, and will lead to more 'grudge' matches during the season.

Oh, and don't stress about it. Seriously. If you enjoy American Football, this will only add to your enjoyment, and if you like watching the games, you'll pretty soon find your feet.

So never mind someone saying 'What did you do that for?', just go for it, and see what happens.

I'd ave picked Moss had I made my r1 pick. Think Coolera Bears looks strong at the mo.

I think he was looking for reviews :)
14 teams makes it very tough to be strong everywhere but youve got the top quarterback, top tight end, top kicker & one of the top d's. Will have to look for good pickups during the year at WR & RB but thats the same for everyone...

`Was wondering that, but it may have been rankings that Shrek did. Shrek, did you have them relatively high? Bear in mind that you're 3rd and 4th picks would have been in the mid 30s/high 40s range.

Woejus early to be making such comments. I'm not terribly unhappy, the system froze me out for the last few rounds so I really would have preferred to have done a lot better at DL and my RB core full of potential but short of dependability.

Depending on what sort of a year Eli and the Giants D has, Red Hand Helmets look in very decent nick to me too.

Giants are trying to rebuild the running game and Eli should be solid enough if that knock on the head hasn't shook his confidence even more.
Giants D? Who knows what this new guy can get from them - they certainly have the talent but that doens't always guarantee success.

Trading to be done boys!!!

I'm happy enough too. That luder coming up looking for me to do a meeting didn't help, but according to ESPN rankings, in PPR I have the 10th QB, 10th TE, 2nd and 10th RB, 10th and 20th WR , along with some decent depth at WR and RB, which was my strategy. I suppose the year coming will prove whether the strategy is correct, but it's something I wanted to try.

If the Ravens have a good year, I might be set up well :)

Reasonably happy all told. Got a few lads I really thought would be gone before they'd get to me. Didn't intend to pick a QB so early but when Rivers was available at the time I took him. DB's and DL's were a joke for me, had no research done there. The bro spent a bit of time in Houston and picked Mario Williams out. The Al Harris pick was hilarious. I just had a few names I recognised in the column on the right and didn't realise it auto picked of that column if you let the clock run to zero! Al Harrisould be injured or suspended or on his last legs for all I know. Last pick of a 3rd QB was a bit dumb too but we reckoned Leinart cannot but do ok with the WR's at his disposal. Didn't see any RB's or WR's available at that stage I fancied so went for it (had decided it before one of the lads spcualted about picking him up in free agency - honestly!).

Should be good craic. Never really took huge interest in other teams but this season will be very different.

As for getting a Bears flavour - hardest thing for me was not to draft few more! Good luck to all.

Sony think I would have picked Frank Gore that high but sure what the hell. Looking forward to it. Need a better QB than Kevin Kolb though.

Kolb will be grand. I wouldn't panic on him.

Kolb has Celek,Jackson,Maclin,McCoy.
He will put up some good numbers.

You did alright :) You got the first pick, so were picking 1st, 28th, 29th, 56th etc. Chris Johnson is an animal running back, and by fat the best running back last year. Cedric Benson is a more than solid number 2. Favre had a great year last year, but his receiving corps is a bit banged up this year. Rice is out at least half the season, Harvin has a chronic migraine issue. He should still be a decent QB though.

Finlay is a great tight end up in Green Bay.

I'd say the rest of your picks are decent, but not great. That's often the way in the later rounds when you are on the autopick.

Best of luck with it. I know it has stoked other lads interest in the game, so I hope it does the same for you. I think you'll enjoy the head to head format.

C5 showed the Sunday night games last season, not sure about this year. They are late though, 7.30 Eastern Time, so after midnight here.

The best is obviously Sky Sports, 6pm and 9.15 on a Sunday evening.

ESPN are showing Monday night football live this year as well. Again, very late for a 'school' night but sure you can tape it and avoid the internet :D

Tipping L'espirit de Biff and Crossmaglen to make the playoffs easily

Woejus early to be making such comments. I'm not terribly unhappy, the system froze me out for the last few rounds so I really would have preferred to have done a lot better at DL and my RB core full of potential but short of dependability.

Depending on what sort of a year Eli and the Giants D has, Red Hand Helmets look in very decent nick to me too.
[/b]

Considering I couldn't make the draft, my first impression looking at it was that I made out like a bandit. Mightn't be too overly enamored with my DE selections but I certainly can't complain considering I put them on my draft list.

Looking at the rest of the teams, I'd agree that Lone Shark and XMG hitmen look in very good shape and as usual bombidal will be hard to beat again with a decent selection

What is the story with defensive players in the draft? How do they score points.
Title: Re: NFL Fantasy Football - GAABoard Superbowl VI
Post by: AZOffaly on August 28, 2010, 09:44:10 AM
They can be relatively high scorers if you get a good one. They score for tackles, sacks, forced fumbles, interceptions, fumbles recovered, passes defended, blocked kicks and touchdowns.

As it stands now there on the waiver so you lose your waiver position if you want to pick one up, nearly sure last year you could add & drop them at will

You can't seperate them from the other players. They're just like a roster position after all.

So any players you pick up from Free Agency don't affect your waiver position - is that correct?

Just in case you didnt see the rule change the waivers this year are based on standings each week. Last year you moved to last if you picked up a guy off the waivers, this year i think your last if youve got the best winning record...

Almost correct declan. Your waiver position (during the season), is determined EACH WEEK based on your standings, however, if you select someone off waivers, you still move to the back of the queue for THAT WEEK.

The next week it's determined off standings again.

Didnt see that but it seems fair, presume for the first couple weeks it will go by the amount of points you get beat by as a lot of teams would be 0-2 etc

The Arizona Cardinals have put Matt Leinhart on the trading block !! 1 week before the season starts. He's gone from starter to quarterback contest to backup to now trade bait within 1 month. Unreal. He took umbrage at being in a contest with Derek Anderson, and when Anderson was named starter against the Bears he went balubas.

I'd recommend watching Stat Tracker (you can link to it from our league page) on a Sunday evening as you're watching the live games. You can show the games by real game, or fantasy game, and every play is updated live, so you can see your fantasy game 'as it happens'.

I bought a netbook and put in wireless this year so I could do this :D Sad.

If you want to bet in running, the delay is a bit annoying though. Otherwise it's all good.

Heres some good news..

http://www.nfluk.com/news/football-is-coming-home-to-channel-4-010910.html
NFL football is coming home! Almost three decades after first appearing on Channel 4, the NFL is returning to its original station in a new deal to broadcast Sunday Night Football.




Channel 4 will air the league's premier match-up at 1 a.m. every Sunday night, with the game kicking off at 1.20. The new season will begin with the Dallas Cowboys' trip to arch-rival Washington Redskins on September 12.
 


The NFL was first introduced to the UK on a weekly basis when newly-launched Channel 4 began airing its ‘American Football' show in November 1982. The station's coverage evolved into a mix of live, highlights and magazines shows and continued until January 1998, when the Denver Broncos beat the Green Bay Packers in the last game to be aired on the channel.




Alistair Kirkwood, managing director of NFL UK, said: "This is very exciting news. Not only does this deal ensure that the NFL's biggest game of the week and the sport's most exciting stars are available on free-to-air television in the UK, but it takes the league back to the station that many of our fans grew up watching all those years ago. It is also fitting that this new deal comes in the year when we have two of the most successful teams from the first Channel 4 era, the San Francisco 49ers and Denver Broncos, playing in our annual game at Wembley in October."



Details of the broadcasts, including the presenters, will be announced in the near future, but Kirkwood added: "The shows will be contemporary in presentation and style, but fans should expect a little taste of the past in there as well. We expect it to be a lot of fun."


In 1982, when Channel 4 launched American Football at 6 p.m. on Sunday evenings:



•A pint of beer cost 62 pence
•Culture Club were number one with Do You Really Want to Hurt Me
•Among the most popular shows on TV was Fame - the era's version of Glee
•The mullet was the new men's hairstyle of choice
•ET and Bladerunner were among the year's big movie releases
•England were unbeaten in the World Cup finals, but still went home early
•Decathlete Daley Thompson was BBC Sports Personality of the Year
•The first commercial CD was produced


The deal with Channel 4 completes the line-up of NFL broadcasters for the 2010 season, which kicks off on Thursday September 9th:



•Sky Sports - two lives games every Sunday (6 p.m. and 9 p.m.), plus Thursday and Saturday night games throughout the season and every playoff game live, including Super Bowl XLV from North Texas, on Sunday February 6.
•Channel Four - Sunday Night Football every week.
•ESPN - live Monday Night Football every week (1.30 a.m.)
•BBC TV - Super Bowl XLV live; weekly playoff highlights; Wembley game highlights on October 31.
•BBC Radio - weekly live game commentary (9 p.m.) on 5Live Sports Extra.

I use it. I dont have the betting problem, and I find the service brilliant. its great being able to switch back and forwards between games as you please.

Get a HDMI cable and connect the laptop to your HDTV, thats what I do. I also plan to use my old craptop to follow stat-tracker.

By the way, I think the Leinhart move would be good for any Larry Fitzgerald owners, but potentially bad for Tim Hightower owners.

Leinhart is afraid to throw INTs at this point, he's like a dog that's been kicked too often. If he was starting, he wouldn't even trust the great Fitz to go up and grab 60-40 balls, so everything becomes a checkdown. He's gotten a name for checking down way too quickly, but that means loads of catches for slot receivers like Earley Doucet or half backs like Tim Hightower.

Anderson wil probably throw 20+ Interceptions this year  ::) but at least he will keep throwing it up for Larry to catch. Of course the ones that are INTs will not be points for Larry, but at least he'll have a chance. In contrast he is slow to check down, and loves throwing down the field. Breaston and Fitzgerald might be happier with this.

Either way, it looks a bit of a mess over in the Desert, and I think the Cards will be lucky to finish 7-9, 8-8 this season. It's the 49ers to throw away.

Larry Fitzgerald will also be happy because Anderson gets more zip in his long ball even though he's inaccurate. Leonard had less arm strength and Larry was putting his neck in the line every time he went to catch one of Leinart's high, arching deep balls.

This may come under fantasy news... Has Revis of the Jets been given a new contract yet? Is he going to play if he doesnt get one?
If hes playing it means 2 weeks in the year when Randy Moss & Brandon Marshall dont score...
Title: Re: NFL Fantasy Football - GAABoard Superbowl VI
Post by: AZOffaly on September 02, 2010, 02:21:14 PM
Revis is still holding out, but the signs are that they both want something done. His fine is now at 530k. The Jets want him, but he wants top defensive player money, and the Jets don't want to do that before a possible new CBA for 2011.

At the moment the predictions are that he will not start the season for the Jets, but will be back in harness in about week 3. He's missed an entire pre-season at this stage, and there's only so much you can do working out with a trainer.

you're right though. If he's not there the Jets defence obviously suffers a bit, but if he is, and if he's going at top notch, then Randy Moss, Lee Evans and Brandon Marshall are in for 2 quiet games each this year.

Revis not being at full tilt is one of the things that convinced me I was OK drafting both Brady and Welker. I now it's unlikely he would be match up direct with Wes, but it just means that where it wouldve been the 2nd corner it's now the third.

AZ its there for the rest of the week then I'll have to see who else is interested.
I've had some bad luck with my auto draft picks and what the computer chose for me.

Sidney Rice out for some time and D Ward out.  Leaves my bench week but still a decent core team, decent def and defense individual D picks.

is it possible to know whether anyone has a good defense @ this stage of the year??Because " Did you know that in the last 6 years, only 2 "consistently" projected top 10 FF defenses actually finished in the top ten at the end of the year? Only Chicago & Baltimore a few years back.  There is absolutely no clear cut #1 fantasy defense this year." Discuss

AZ its there for the rest of the week then I'll have to see who else is interested.
I've had some bad luck with my auto draft picks and what the computer chose for me.

Sidney Rice out for some time and D Ward out.  Leaves my bench week but still a decent core team, decent def and defense individual D picks.

That's true actually. I know the Steelers were a consensus #1 defense pick last year, but of course Troy Polamalu's injury bolloxed them. I think they finished 22nd or something like that.

I am confident enough with the Jets if they get this Revis thing sorted out. They definitely strengthened the team again this year.
yes it is hard to pick a DEF that will remain consistent. Jets still have the same Def coordinator so I'll stick with them.

Any of the rest of ye do the season pass thing from NFL.com? Did last year and the reception was excellent, but watching it on the laptop wasn't ideal. Still, I'd have no interest in anything else on Sky barring the Heineken Cup, and this way you get the Monday night games as well.

If you want to bet in running, the delay is a bit annoying though. Otherwise it's all good.

That's the thing - I used to pay for Sky, back when they had red button, all three games on a Sunday and plenty of good magazine programming during the week. Now their service has slipped way back and while I like seeing the Heineken Cup, that's really the only other thing I'd look at - and so for me, it's a case of Sky or Season Pass, not both.

Basically I'll be doing one or the other - for now trying to source a TV to link up via HDMI - laptop doesn't really do justice to these things!

The picture is fine, as good as if you were getting it through Sky, however you'd need a high def TV to really do it justice. Even on the laptop screen the high def is very noticeable.

You can move players around as long as their game hasnt started.

for the flex spot providing you have left it free to use.

I picked the saints who were excellent last year because of their turnovers and defensive touchdowns. They might not repeat it but I got Tennessee as the backup plan. They were a top defense the year before, they lost the run of themselves last year but I think they will bounce back.

News coming through today that Byron Leftwich has a torn MCL from last night. He was going to be the Steelers' starter for whatever time Big Ben was cooling his jets.

That means Dennis Dixon or Charlie Batch will fill in for those 4 or 6 weeks. Bad news for Hines Ward, Mike Wallace and the other Steelers receivers, but possibly good for Rashard Mendenhall and even Mewelde Moore.

Is that the fastest fall from #1 starter ever? I've seen starters lose their jobs, and get traded even, but seldom in the same off season. But to lose your job, get touted for a trade, and then actually cut is some dose.

JaMarcus Russell
NFL.com's Steve Wyche claimed that Russell is the biggest draft bust in NFL history.[38] The Huffington Post named Russell one of the 13 biggest draft busts in NFL history.[39] ESPN's Bill Williamson called Russell a "talented but extremely disappointing" quarterback.[29]

His tenure with the Oakland Raiders was the shortest tenure with the drafting team among quarterbacks taken number 1 overall in the NFL draft.[40] Also among those quarterbacks, Russell has the worst starting record.[29]

Ah yeah, Russell was worse, but I mean in terms of the speed of the tailspin. Leinart was starter at the start August. He's in Kansas today, and he went through an awful quick fall from grace.

There are plenty of DP players who could get some teams a win for the week.

Title: Re: NFL Fantasy Football - GAABoard Superbowl VI
Post by: AZOffaly on September 08, 2010, 09:53:00 AM
Nope. Give me an example and I'll look into it.

Basically the positions are determined by Yahoo. When you look at a player's name it will say his team, and his position beside it. Some lads have more than one position, but they are ususally #3 or #4 on the depth chart, or else are defensive players. Quite a few secondary players might be listed as Safety and Corner Back.

The other thing to watch out for is that our weekly lineups contain a FLEX position, which allows you to play *either* a running back or a wide receiver in that position. They are still RB or WR, but you can choose to put them in that spot, which is WR/RB.

Its not that complicated lads.
Title: Re: NFL Fantasy Football - GAABoard Superbowl VI
Post by: AZOffaly on September 08, 2010, 05:00:25 PM
OK, here goes. Consider the screenshot below...

(http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c358/AZOffaly/Flex.jpg)

I have highlighted a couple of things. This is a our standard weekly starting team (excludes the bench basically).

You can see I have highlighted, for clarity, Darnell Docket, to show what Yahoo consider Darnell's team (ARI) and position(Defensive Tackle DT) to be. When I talk about someone being a Wide Receiver or a Running Back (or any other position) that's what I mean, i.e. Yahoo's designation of him, not what he might actually be in real life. They are almost always the same anyway.

For an example of someone who Yahoo have designated as being eligible for 2 positions, see Andre Carter above Dockett. He is down as a Linebacker and a Defensive End. That's immaterial for our game, because both DE, LB and also DT for that matter are counted in our positions as DL (Defensive Line).

I have also highlighted the position W/R. This is the flex position. In every other position on our roster, the player you want to pick must be eligible to play that position. Example, in our two RB positions, the players must be RBs according to Yahoo. Tight Ends must be TE, Quarterbacks must be QBs and so on.

The Flex position is slightly different in that it allows the manager to select *either* a RB or a WR to fill that position. In other words you can have 2 WRs, 2 RBs and 1 Flex which is either another RB, or another WR. No other positions are eligible for the Flex (W/R) position.

In my example, you can see that I have Tim Hightower (RB) playing in the flex, while the ConViCKS have Michael Crabtree, a WR.

It's almost like a formation in soccer. I'm picking 1 QB, 3 RB, 2 WR, 1 TE, , he's picking 1 QB, 2 RB, 3 WR, 1 TE.

Hope that helps.

No, I didn't go to any of the Wembley games. I didn't particularly fancy going over on my tobler so didn't make any effort to get tickets. None of my mates here would have any interest and the brother who is mad into it lives in the US (bar the last 6 months but he's soon heading back....to live in Tampa!).

Will find it hard to avoid checking how my guy(s) did in the game. To be honest knowing the way I am I'll probably check them and know the result but I'll still watch it.

Went to bed late last night with a 17 point lead and thought if Rivers has a decent game, even though my opponent has 3 players left I have a good shout. Looked in this morning and the gap is down to 11. It seems Kiwanuka scored 6 points overnight. Great.  ::)

Agonised over which QB to start but reckoned I had to go with Rivers. I might pay for it.

Well Rivers did enough for me last night to clinch the win though I must admit its tough on Deel Rover to rack up such a good score (with McFadden on the bench) and not get the win.

Shonn Greene's two fumbles last night could turn out to be very interesting for me.

Good craic next weekend for me with Bears v. Cowboys on Sky. It being All-Ireland Sunday it might not be very practical for me to get to watch it.

Montana Conference - Week 1 Roundup

Well, week 1 is in the books, and we are off and running again. We had some good matchups, and some surprising (good and bad) individual performance during the week, which started all the way back last Thursday.


Faithful Turfmen 119.87 - 109.59 O'Neill's Chargers

The Turfmen held out for an unlikely win, as the Chargers' Shonn Greene suffered with the rest of the New York Jets offense against the Baltimore Ravens on Monday night. Leading by just over 10 points coming into the last day's game, the Turfmen were relying on Shonn Greene to be held by Ray Lewis and the Ravens, and it came to pass. Greene contributed a measly 0.35 points as the Ravens held him to 18 yards rushing on just 6 touches, including a fumble. Surprisingly enough LT actually got most of the work for the Jets in Week 1, whatever that might mean. The Turfmen had a weak display from Matt Schaub, as the Texans stayed on the ground to beat the Colts behind Arian Foster, but Greg Jennings (WR-GB 15.10 points), Hines Ward (WR-PIT 13.40 points), and the New England Defense (22 points) made up for steady but unspectacular returns from Adrian Peterson, Justin Forsett and Carnel Williams.The Chargers would have felt confident when Jay Cutler (QB-CHI) weighed in with 16.54 points, and there were similar returns from Steve Smith (WR-CAR, 14.75 points), Jeremy Maclin (WR-PHI, 12.45 points), Rashard Mendenhall (RB-PIT, 16.75 points), Ronnie Brown (RB-MIA, 12.25 points) and the Green Bay Defense with 14 points. However, this matchup was a textbook case of Stars and Scrubs losing out to consistent solidity of the Turfmen. the Turfmen's lowest total was 6 points on the individual defense, while Chargers had 6 players with less than that. It all added up to a tight victory for the Turfmen in this inter divisional battle.

The Royal Badgers 80.27 - 126.09 New York Jets IV
A solid start for the Jets IV, and a good 45+ point victory as they overpowered the Badgers in this matchup of East and West Division teams. A feature of the Jets' performance was the solid output from the individual defense players, who contributed 34 points between them, including a pair of 12 spots from Bernard Pollard (S-HOU) and Osi Umenyiora (DE-NYG). This bolstered an already solid showing from Tom Brady (QB-NE, 19.16), Roddy White (WR-ATL, 20.55), Donald Driver (WR-GB, 13.50), Vernon Davis (TE-SF, 11.65 points) and the Eagles Defense (10 points). The Badgers couldn't really match that pace, despite a huge effort from Chris Johnson (RB-TEN). CJ2K ran for 142 yards and 2 TDs in a 25.50 point effort, but a disappointing return from all bar Jahvid Best (RB-DET, 18.80) on his team spelled defeat and an 0-1 start for the Badgers.

Craigyhill Terrors 91.61 - 105.94 RedBolts MightyOaks
A North South division match this time, and a pretty close affair in reality, which was probably decided by the contrasting performance of the quarterbacks. Whereas the MightyOaks were able to call upon San Diego signal caller Philip Rivers (16.21 points), the Terrors had the misfortune of seeing their QB (Matt Stafford of the Lions) go down with a seperated shoulder and a grand total of -0.34 points. Given the fact tht the difference in the end was just over 14 points, the importance of a swing of 16.55 at QB is self evident. Elsewhere, it was very even, with Visanthe Shiancoe (TE-MIN, 13.80), Dez Bryant (WR-DAL, 11.08 points) and the Jets Defense (17 points) top scoring for the MightyOaks, while Brandon Marshall (WR-MIA, 10.65), Frank Gore (RB-SF, 10.15), Knowshon Moreno (RB-DEN, 10.20), Darren McFadden (RB-OAK, 19.50) and the Giants D (20 points) did their stuff for the Terrors.

Galway Bay Tribesmen 147.56 - Ruthless Rossies 100.60
This clash of East and West division teams was notable for featuring the top scoring team in the Montana Conference as the Tribesmen amassed over 147 points. Despite the relatuvely high totals, the tie was never really in doubt once the early games were over on Sunday. The reason is that both Peyton Manning (QB-IND) and Matt Forte (RB-CHI) went fantasy mad. Manning contributed 29.66 points in the Colts' losing effort against the Texans, while Matt Forte's receiving threat was well in evidence as he chalked up 31.05 points in the win over the Lions. The Tribesmen had a couple of mediocre performances to go with the big two, but Tim Hightower (RB-ARI, 10.70 points (despite two stupid fumbles)), Neil Rackers (K-HOU), the Miami D (15 points) and Rams S Oshiomogho Atogwe (12 points) all contributed heavily to the win. For the Rossies it was more a case of even distribution with only 3 big time returns. Miles Austin lived up to his billing as a #1 type receiver for the Cowboys with 25.30 in a losing effort against the Redskins and another NFC East player, Trent Cole (DE-PHI) added 10 points. The last notable contribution was the Bears D with 12 points, and that was never going to be enough to reel in such a big score from the Tribesmen.

hegan's helmets 136.68 - Big Apple Orchards 86.92
Hegan's helmets gave the Tribesmen a run for their money in this 50 point demolition of perennial front runner, Big Apple Orchards. It may have been a North-South division match, but it was never really a battle as the helmets had far too much for the Orchards. Given the fact that the helmets had Kevin Kolb (QB-PHI) knocked out after only 0.53 points, and went into battle with only 2 individual defenses, it makes their performance all the more impressive. Of course, having an absolutely monster performance from Houston Running Back Arian Foster will help, as the second year undrafted Tennessee Volunteer absolutely tore up the Colts to the tune of 231 running yards and 3 TDs, for an eye popping 39.90 points. Marry that with 17.95 points from old reliable Reggie Wayne (WR-IND), 15.10 points from Eagles RB LeSean McCoy, 21 points from Dallas Clark (TE-IND), 12 points from Mason Crosby (K-GB) and 13 points from a Ravens 'D' that looked like the Ravens D, and it's easy to see where the win came from. Mind you, that Colts-Texans game was particularly good to the helmets as it produced 85.6 of the helmets' points. The Orchards had some valiant battlers, but Eli Manning (QB-NYG, 13.16), LArry Fitzgerald (WR-ARI, 11.15), Adrian Wilson (S-ARI, 18,00) and Mathias Kiwanuka (DE-NYG, 15.00) were unable to inspire the full team to deliver enough.

Shower of Tramps 88.82 - CAPT PATs VIKINGS 99.06
The only game of the week to not feature a 100 point team, albeit falling only .94 short, saw Capt Pat's Vikings hold onto an 10+ point win over the Tramps, depite not fielding a kicker. Joe Flacco (QB-BAL) hardly inspired the Vikings either, as he was held to 2.06 points by the tough Jets 'D', but ironically his WR Anquin Boldin ended up with 14.50 points in the same game. Antonio Gate (TE-SD), the Chargers fantasy banker had 14.80 points while the Tennessee Defense had 19 points in the only other 10 point plus performance for the winners. The Tramps only had two defensive performances to be pleased about, as the Steelers D contributed 13 points, to go with the individual performance of Shaun Ellis (DE-NYJ) and his 11 points. Not enough, unfortunately for the Tramps, and they find themselves 0-1 after the first week.

The Curragh Rams 75.89 - 103.81 Smackdown Clowns
The dubious honour of the lowest score of the week falls to the Curragh Rams as the Kildare men continue to experience a miserable late summer. Chad Ochocinco (WR-CIN) did his best to carry the load with 29.95 points in a great effort, but only Tony Romo (QB-DAL) and his 11.64 came close to doing enough to help him. On the Clowns' side, it wasn't sensational but it was more than enough to seal a 28 point victory as everyone's favourite sleeper Hakeem Nicks (WR-NYG) awoke spectacularly with 25.75 points in a 3 TD effort against the hapless Panthers. Pierre Thomas (RB-NO) conributed 13.30 points while Jamaal Charles (RB-KC) had a nice 12 point effor on Monday night. Ahmad Bradshaw was solid with the Giants' RB picking up 12.65 points in the same game that Nicks owned, and that combination was the difference for the Clowns as they got away to a 1-0 start.


Payton Conference to follow...

Payton Conference - Week 1 Roundup

Faithful Turfmen 'B' 94.06 - 79.56 The ConVICKS
A l ow scoring game to start us off in the Payton Conference, thanks largely to a dour defensive struggle between the Jets and Ravens on Monday night. This tie featured few enough stellar performances, although the New England Patriots' slightly surprising 22 points gained against the Bengals did bolster the Turfmen's effort. Greg Jennings, the Green Bay wideout contributed 15.10 points, Kansas City RB Jamaal Charles added 12 and Arizona RB Tim Hightower contributed 10,70 points of his own. It was enough to squeak by a disappointing ConVICKS performance, for whom Colts' warhorse Reggie Wayne (WR) had 17.95 points, Steve Smith, WR of Carolina had 14.75 points and Chargers TE Antonio Gates added 14.80 points. The Green Bay 'D' rounded off the high scoring for the ConVICKS with 14 points. Despite having more high scorers than the Turfmen, there were too many 0s and 1s and even minus figures to really mount a serious challenge, but with Smith, Wayne and Gates, the ConVICKS will expect higher returns most other weeks.

puppet master 79.87 - 76.13 North Antrim Nuggets
Another very low scoring game, as neither team breached the 80 mark, but a win is a win and puppet master will be delighted to escape with a victory despite having 3 inactive positions. Chris Johnson (RB-TEN) was the puppet master (pun intended) this week as he chipped in with 25.50 points, while he was supported by Detroit RB Jahvid Best (18.80 points) and the Eagles Defense (10 points). Garrett Hartley, the New Orleans kicker will have better weeks than his minus 2 return, but it didn't matter in the windup. For the Nuggets, the injury (and hitherto poor performance) of Eagles QB Kevin Kolb certainly didn't help matters, but with 5 positions returning more than 10 points (Brandon Marshall (WR-MIA - 10.65), Frank Gore (RB-SF - 10.15), Mercedes Lews (TE-JAC, 15.55), Mason Crosby (K-GB, 12) and the Steelers D (13)) they should have had enough to reel in the modest target set by the masters. Unfortunately 6 positions returning less than 1 point tells it's own story of how that worked out. In a game decided by less than 4 points, every position does indeed count.

L'Esprit de Biff 100.29- 71.74 Rehab is 4 Quitters
The first ton up in this conferences was enough for past champion L'Esprit de Biff to prevail against newcomer Rehab is 4 Quitters, who registered the lowest score of the week. Quitters were certainly not helped by a combination of events, from Houston's great day running the ball against the Colts (which meant Matt Schaub (QB) didn't have to do much more than hand the ball off,a nd Andre Johnson had nothing to catch), Calvin Johnson's ((WR-DET) harsh disallowed TD against Da Bears, Kevin Boss' (TE-NYG) injury and Darrelle Revis' not being thrown at. There will undoubtedly be better days for a roster boasting such names, but this weekend, only the Jets 'D' showed up with 17 points. L'Esprit will be happy to have the win in the books, if not particularly enamoured with the manner of the win.  Larry Fitzgerald (WR-ARI - 11.15) did score a TD, but the fact that Derek Anderson missed him on 12 of 15 throws does not inspire confidence for the future. Knowshon Moreno (RB-DEN) added 10.20 points, while the Saints 'D' added 13. The rest were solid, if unspectacular and managed to do enough for a 28+ point victory.

Shrek's Ogres 88.09 - Carlow for Sam 2011 77.57
Another low scoring encounter in a week of them in the Payton Conference saw a major shock as perennial favourite (running under new name) Carlow for Sam 2011 was defeated by 10+ points by rookie Shrek's Ogres. Indianapolis Colts TE Dallas Clark, with 21 points, was the main man for the Ogres, and the fact that only really Donald Driver (veteran GB WR with 13.50 points) managed to help out significantly was a major factor in the winning total being just 88 points. For Carlow, it's a week best forgotten, but at least there were hopeful signs from Rashard Mendenhall (RB-PIT, 16.75 points), Jeremy MAclin (WR-PHI, 12.45 points) and Ronnie Brown (RB-MIA, 12.25 points).

Coolera Bears 147.56 - mayo warriors 132.59
What an introduction to the world of GAABoard Fantasy NFL for Sligo rookies Coolera Bears, as themselves and Connacht rivals, and 3rd place finisher last year, mayo warriors served up a right barnburner. The clash of South and West division rivals went the way of the newcomer, but it was the highest grossing tie of the week, across both conferences. The Bears can really thank 4 positions for their big score, as remarkably only that amount grossed double digits. However a solid combination of 6,7 and 8s combined with really big totals from some positions did the trick. Fittingly enough, given the team owner, pride of place goes to the real Bears' RB Matt Forte who had 31.05 points. Also contributing heavily to the debut win were Colts WR Austin Collie, and his 27.15 points, San Diego QB Philip Rivers and his 16.21 points and, again fittingly, the Bears 'D', with 12 points. The warriors' brave effort was headlined by loudmouth Chad Ochocino (WR-CIN) and his 29.95 points, but also impressing were Bears QB Jay Cutler (16.54), Atlanta WR Roddy White (20.55 points), Ahmad Bradshaw (RB-NYG-12.65 points) the Baltimore D (13 points) and Giants' DE Mathias Kiwanuka (15 points), It's fair to surmise that the warriors won't lose too many games if they average 130 points, but in this case the support cast just fell short against their Bears counterparts.

Crossmaglen Hitmen 87.34 - Old Jack City 120.31
They say revenge is a dish best served cold. If so the Old Jack City squad will be able to attest to that this week. Last years conference final saw the Hitmen run out winners in a nailbiter, but the rebadged Old Jack City turned the tables in style with better than 30 points to spare over their 2009 conquerers. A tragic effort by the Bengals Defense (-1) threatened to derail the ambitions of City, but Tom Brady (QB-NE, 19.16), Miles Austin (WR-DAL, 25.30), Wes Welker (WR-NE, 23.20), Neil Rackers (K-HOU, 11), Bernard Pollard (S - HOU, 12) and Trent Cole (DE - PHI, 10 points) all contributed heavily in making up for that setback. The result wasn't really in doubt when Welker and Brady went off, and Austin put the tin hat on it, but the Hitmen couldn't really respond in a meaningful manner. Too many men left their A game at home, and while all positions contributed something positive, only Tony Romo (QB-DAL, 11.64) and LeSean McCoy (RB-PHI, 15.10) did enough to impact the tie. People like Knox, Jones Drew and Garcon will be better on other weeks, but it wasn't to be in week 1, and Old (Jack) Jack City can bask in the redemptive glow of this win. The Hitmen may retort that they 'Won the one that mattered'.

Ballyhaise Bills 143.82 - 116.71 Red Hand Helmets
It's a fair bet that if you get 70.56 points from two starters, you have a good chance to win your tie on any given week, and that is how it worked out for the Bills as they saw off a solid challenge from the Red Hand Helmets in the second tie to produce more than 100 points each. The fact that the Bills 143.82 is only good enough for second in the conference is testament to the quality of the Coolera Bears' performance, but it was very impressive nonetheless. The two men that did all the damage were Peyton Manning (QB-IND, 29.66) and the star of week 1 Houston RB Arian Foster (39.90 points). They were ably helped out by Anquan Boldin (WR-BAL, 14.50) and Visanthe Shiancoe (TE-MIN, 13.80), but suffice to say that without one or both of those big time performances, the Bills would have struggled mightily here. The Helmets will curse their luck that they drew one of only 4 teams with better totals this week, but they will be given hope by the performances of Eli Manning (QB-NYG, 13.16), Hines Ward (WR-PIT, 13.40), Pierre Thomas (RB-NO, 13.30), Vernon Davis (TE-SF, 11.65) and the Titans' D (19 points). Beanie Wells (RB-ARI), a late scratch on Sunday, missing didn't help, nor did the underwhelming outings from Malcolm Floyd (WR-SD), and Adrian Peterson (RB-MIN), but it would have taken a special outing to beat the Bills on that display.

2) Who's got two thumbs, depth at receiver, and is worried about his Running Backs..? Yup, this guy right here. Trade requests involving my receivers and your backs will be happily considered people.

Title: NFL Fantasy Football - GAABoard Superbowl VI - Week 2
Post by: AZOffaly on September 15, 2010, 11:03:25 AM
In the Montana Conference we see some interesting Week 2 Fixtures as some teams look to kick start their season, while others obviously hope to keep early momentum going.

The first fixture on our slate sees an all East and West division matchup as the Faithful Turfmen and New York Jets IV put their 1-0 records on the line while next up, The Royal Badgers face a tough task against top scoring Galway Bay Tribesmen in a bid to get off the mark.

An intra North and South division matchup sees the 0-1 Craigyhill Terrors try to redeem themselves against the division leading hegan's helmets while another North and South division battle, the O'Neill's Chargers will try to get their first win against the 1-0 RedBolts MightyOaks.

Another North and South battle, this time of 0-1 teams, is next up as the 6th place Shower of Tramps and 7th place Big Apple Orchards lock horns to try and avoid starting 0-2, and at the same time over in the other division, we have a pure East and West division battle. The 0-1 pair of the Curragh Rams (east) take on the Ruthless Rossies (west) with both sides anxious not to let a gap appear already, this early in the season.

The final game of the week sees an inter division matchup as the North and South division 3rd place team, Capt Pats Vikings, takes on the East and West division 4th place squad, Smackdown Clowns, in a battle of unbeatens.


Over to the Payton Conference, where a similar situation obviously exists, given that we only have one week in the books. First off we have an all South and West battle, and an all Offaly battle, as the unbeaten pair of Faithful Turfmen 'B' and L'Esprit de Biff face up in an early rivalry game.

Next on the docket, there is another intra division meeting of 1-0 teams as the North and East's puppet master and Shrek's Ogres square off as 2nd plays 3rd. In the other division, bottom placed Rehab is 4 Quitters will try to get going with a contest against the 2nd placed Ballyhaise Bills.

The pivot game in the seven game schedule features an all North and East clash as the 7th placed North Antrim Nuggets attempt to get off the mark against the unlucky Red Hand Helmets while in the same division the 0-1 Carlow for Sam 2011 will be looking for much better things against the 5th place and also fresh off a defeat Crossmaglen Hitmen.

The penultimate game is a South and West division clash between 0-1 6th placed the ConVICKS and the free scoring Conference #1 ranked Coolera Bears while the week closes off with a potential doozey between the 0-1 mayo warriors (who scored 132.59 points in week 1) and the 1st place North and East division Old Jack City who scored 120.31 in a winning Week 1 effort.

Best of luck everyone, and remember to check injury news, and the waiver wire.

Also, I noticed a query about your roster being locked. The roster is not locked at all, only when individual positions have played will that position be locked. If you have guys that are NA or on IR, you can drop them to the bench assuming a) Their team has not yet played and b) You have someone to replace them. The only restriction is that you will not be able to pick up new players once the games have started for the week.

You can bid for them at any time, you just won't get them until they come off waivers, depending on your waiver priority.

They will be assigned off waivers, to the highest positioned bidder, today. Not sure what time.

Just took a look, I'd say the waivers are in the process of being applied. Remember it's just gone 8AM eastern in the US, so this would be about the time. On the add players now, the player I put in for a waiver on is listed in 'All Available Players' but is not actually available to add (no green cross). I'd say it's because they are in the middle of working through them.

On a seperate note, any player on waivers who was not claimed is now a Free Agent (FA). That means you can pick him up immediately without affecting your waiver slot.

*ALL* free agents will again go on the waiver wire when the games begin next Sunday.

Well he'll be the starter. Can't see much coming from Hightower after his 2 fumbles. One of which nearly cost them the game. Plus Larod Stephens-Howling is beginning to eat into his carries. Picked Hardesty as my RB3 and he got injured before the season even started. Don't have a great team really. Only freak weeks from Manning and Forte got me a big score week 1 which booted my arse back to the end of the queue.

good spot GBB. Whiz sat with Hightower on the plane back to Phoenix apparently, and told him that the fumbles were not acceptable. With Beanie back, if Hightower looks anyway unsafe, then LSH will start getting more work. Hightower's real value is going to be the 2nd down dump off throws when Wells comes back, which could be this week. However, they do like Hightower, so if he sorts himself out he'll be grand.

Ah Rossie... Never, ever drop Welker in a point per catch league. Even without yds or tds he'll get 6/7 receptions and will almost always guarantee you 10+ points.

Post by: mc_grens on September 15, 2010, 05:57:31 PM
Aye, but they are thinking of standard leagues.

In a std league Welker wasnt a great play if you take out the two TD's (which you can never hang your hat on). He only got about 60 yds receiving, which would be approx 6 points.

But in a PPR- even leaving out the TD's- he was good for 14 points because of the 8 receptions.

Welker has led the league in receptions for the last 3 years or so with around 110-120 per year, which makes him a beast in the PPR format.

Title: Re: NFL Fantasy Football - GAABoard Superbowl VI
Post by: AZOffaly on September 17, 2010, 10:11:53 AM
Howya eiled,

What are you struggling with? I'll try and help out if I can.

Let's start at the beginning. After the draft you have now got a roster with starters and bench players. Obviously you try to put what you think are your best players on the starting team each week to get points from them.

Occasionally, or frequently, throughout the season, you might want to pick up different player because of things like injury or general uselessness.

To do that you basically have 3 options, which I will describe below (in straightforward terms. There are other ways to do all of this, but I'll try to keep it simple).

1) The Trade. - A Trade is basically an agreement to swap one of more players between two managers in the league. If you notice a player on another team that you like the look of, and you have something you think the other manager might be interested in, you can offer a trade. You offer a trade as follows.

a) Go to 'MY TEAM'.
b) On the top bar select 'Trade'
c) Choose the team you want to trade with
d) Tick the box beside the player(s) you want and select 'Continue' at the bottom.
e) Tick the box beside the player(s) you are offering in return and select 'Continue' at the bottom
f)  Add a note for the other manager, and click 'Send Trade Proposal'.

Now the other manager will get a notification that says a trade has been proposed, and they will either accept, refuse or make a counter offer to you. You will be notified either way, (make sure you watch your email).

Assuming the other manager agrees, there is then a 2 day period where the rest of the managers in the league are notified of the trade that is about to happen, and they can object to me about it. If there are enough objections, or I feel it is unfair (one team is getting ripped off either deliberately or accidentally), I can veto (cancel) the trade.

That is trading.

2 - The Waiver Wire

The Waiver wire is another way of picking up players, but in this case NOBODY owns them. The concept of a Waiver Wire (as opposed to immediate pickups) was born in Fantasy to stop unfair advantages. For example, if I lived in Arizona, and was watching a game on Monday night and saw the best running back get injured, it's not fair that I could jump onto Yahoo, and pick up his backup while the lads in Ireland are asleep.

Therefore this concept of a Waiver Wire was enacted. Think of a Waiver Wire as a holding pen, where players are held while managers have a chance to say they are interested in picking them up.

Now, the way it works is as follows.

a) All players not on a fantasy team are placed on the Waiver Wire EVERY WEEK from the moment the first game kicks off, until the day after the last game of the week.
b) Outside of those days, only players dropped by a fantasy team go on the waiver wire. All other players are called 'Free Agents' (see point 3).
c) In order to pick up someone on the waiver wire, select MY TEAM, and then 'ADD' from the top menu.
d) You will be taken to the available players list, and you can filter on various positions, etc.
e) When you see the player you want, you will see that he has his name, team, next opponent and the letter 'W' with a date after it. The 'W' means he is on the waiver wire, and the date is the date he will become a free agent (again, see point 3 below). During the game weekend, as I mentioned above, ALL players will be 'W' with the same end date (which will be the day after the last game).
f) There will also be a green cross beside the player, and this is what you click if you want to submit a 'Waiver Claim', basically saying you are interested in picking him up.
g) When you select the green cross, you will need to tick a player you want to drop to make room for this new guy, unless you have an empty spot, and then click 'Add this player and drop another player'.
h) You will then be presented with a confirmation screen where you click 'Add this player'. (It will tell you the lad you are dropping as well).

How do you know if your claim is successful???? This is the bit some people struggle with. JUST BECAUSE YOU CLAIM A PLAYER DOES NOT MEAN YOU WILL GET HIM. Why not? Read on.

A claim on a player is just that, a claim. It is not a guarantee. On the Waiver wire, every manager has what is called a Waiver Priority. This is a number between 1 and 14 (the number of managers in the league). If two or more managers make a claim on the same player, the manager with the lowest number wins. So if you have a waiver priority of 11, and I have one of 9, then I will win if we both claim the same player.

IMPORTANT NOTE - The Waiver priority is re-set each week, with the person with the best record getting 14, and the worst team getting 1.

IMPORTANT NOTE 2 - Each time you have a successful claim, your waiver priority is reset to 14 for that week. So if in our example above, I won that claim, I would then be waiver priority 14, the person that was 10th, would move up to 9, you would move up to 10, and so on.

You know if your claim is successful on the day that the player comes off waivers. Yahoo looks at who (if any) have claimed him, and assigns the player to the owner with the best waiver priority. An email then goes to all owners who tried to claim the player.

3. Free Agents
Free Agency is the easiest way to pick up players, in terms of understanding. Waiver Priority doesn't come into it, and the player immediately joins your roster, so you don't have to wait to see if you are successful.

The important thing to note about Free Agency is that it is NOT AVAILABLE during the times the games are on, as all players go on Waivers for that period (see 2 above).

The rest of the week, most players not owned by someone else will be Free Agents, and only players recently dropped by other managers will go to Waivers.

To pick up a player off Free Agency, do the following.

a) Go to MY TEAM and select 'ADD' from the top menu.
b) Look for a player you like, and if he has his name, team, opponent and the letters 'FA' beside him, then he's available for you to pick up immediately.
c) Click the green cross beside his name.
d) You will then have to select a player to drop to make room for him, unless you have empty spots on your roster.
e) Click 'Add this player and drop another'.
f) You will then get the confirmation screen, click 'Add this Player'.


At this point, congrats, you have successfully added the free agent. If you look at 'MY TEAM' you will see him there straight away.




So, to summarise.

1) TRADE - When you offer to swap one of your players for someone on another team. Takes 2 days after the other manager accepts, assuming no one objects.

2) WAIVER WIRE - When you claim a player on Waivers (W), normally during the weekend as games are being player, or shortly after the player is dropped by someone else. Success or Failure depends on Waiver Priority if other people also claim the same player. Becomes effective when the specified date is reached, e.g. W (21 Sep) would be effective on the 21 Sep.

3) FREE AGENTS - When you immediately pick up an unowned players, who is not on the Waiver Wire. No waiting period, no priorities. First come first served. NOTE - This is NOT available during the Waiver Wire period.

Hope this helps

I dont understand why teams are sandbagging players.
Why do you need 5 RB's on your team and 2 on the bench. I have a bunch of solid WR's available to trade and there are RB's on the bench!

Because people need backups for bye weeks and you never know when an RB could get injured. One that's a backup this week could be next weeks starter with 100 yds and a TD.

There is no point keeping a load of back up running backs, you will need to trade them for other positions.

Backs are the most injured position on the field. It's well worth holding onto a guy like Johnsthon Stewart, even though he's probably at best a flex starter, in case DeAngelo Williams gets hurt. Likewise if you've three top RB's it's worth holding them unless you've a serious need elsewhere. All it takes is one planted foot leading to an ACL injury, or a concussion from a big hit to make that third RB a vital investment.

Title: Re: NFL Fantasy Football - GAABoard Superbowl VI
Post by: AZOffaly on September 24, 2010, 12:59:19 PM
Seeing as how I'm a bit late this week, I think I'll do it 'Janus' style. (Look it up :D) If it works out, this might be the best way of doing recaps etc, because I'm usually a little less pressured on a Friday.

Anyhow, with the previews of this weekends action, and a nod to the past week, here we go for the Montana Conference. Please note comments in the preview are based on the current line up.

First on the slate is the clash of two unbeatens in the East and West division, and current incumbents of first and second place respectively as the Galway Bay Tribesmen take on the Faithful Turfmen. The Tribesmen are coming off a hard fought 125.60 - 116.65 victory over the Royal Badgers, and will be confident having top scored by quite a distance in this conference over the first 2 weeks. Payton Manning (QB-IND) is coming off two big weeks, and Matt Forte (RB-CHI) has been a revelation as he makes his way back to 2008 form in the Chicago passing attack as Jay Cutler's primary dump off guy. Tim Hightower (RB-ARI) may suffer slightly with the return of Beanie Wells, but all the indications are that Hightower will still get the most work, and be the passing back, at least initially on Wells' return. Last week big performances from the aforementioned trio were the backbone of the Tribesmen's victory, and they will need to replicate, and possibly get more out of Randy Moss (WR-NE) that to ensure victory here.The Turfmen moved onto a 2-0 mark with a good win over the NEw York Jets IV, and would have been delighted to see Matt Schaub (QB-HOU) bounce back after a poor opening weekend. Adrian Peterson (RB-MIN) also looked more like himself, while Chris Cooley (TE-WAS) continued his nice start on the season. Greg Jennings (WR-GB) was disappointing in what should be a high powered offense in Green Bay, and he will need to pick it up for the Turfmen to be serious candidates. Hines Ward (WR-PIT) struggled as the Steelers went from Dixon to Batch (3rd to 4th choice Starters at QB), so this week's matchup is unlikely to set pulses racing as Batch will start against the fast starting (but probably falsely positioned) Tampa Bay Buccs.

Next up in the Montana Conference sees the Royal Badgers (0-2), bottom of the East-West division, taking on the 1-1 Ruthless Rossies. Given the fact that the Badgers scored 116.65 points last week, they can be pretty angry at Brett Favre (QB-MIN). They're not the first team to live and die by the old gunslinger, but Favre's 3 INTs and -3.50 points really hurt in a 9 point loss. On the bright side, the performances of Malcolm Floyd (WR-SD) in Vincent Jackson's continued absence in San Diego, and especially Jahvid Best (RB-DET) will be bright spots. Best had a ridiculous day the last time out as he chalked up 42.60 points against a Philadelphia Eagles defense who did not make their name giving up days like that to rookie running backs, even if it was mostly through the air. This week Best faces a formidable Vikings Run defense, so any production may need to be through the air again. Can lightening strike twice? Better to plan for not. Also fristrating for the Badgers was the poor outing for Chris Johnson (RB-TEN) as the Steel Curtain slammed shut on him for only 6.65 points, but the glass half full perspective there is that Johnson takes on a NYG defense that was gashed by a notoriously brittle Colts run game last Sunday night. For the Badgers to feel good, you would think Best, Johnson, Favre and Floyd will all have to have significant double digit outings this week. On the Rossies side of the ball, they are coming off a great win against the Curragh Rams (134.26 - 125.13). Miles Austin (WR-DAL) continued to be the man in big D as he added 20.10 points, and coming up against a Texans defense that gives up as much as it does through the air, you have to like Austin in Week 3. Drew Brees (QB-NO), Wes Welker (WR-NE) and Eddie Royal (WR-DEN) are others that are chipping in with big points for the Rossies, but Reggie Bush's broken leg is going to hurt the Rossies, no pun intended. The Rossies look like replacing Bush with Ricky Williams (RB-MIA) and Heath Miller (TE-PIT) with Dustin Keller, the Jets TE. Keller should contribute more than Miller has been doing, but a lot will depend on Williams and Joseph Addai (RB-IND) stepping up to the mark.

The third match features the last placed 0-2 Big Apple Orchards and the 1-1 Craigyhill Terrors in what looks like a mismatch at first glance, given the Orchards have just 175 points through 2 weeks, as opposed to the Terrors' 229. A closer look doesn't inspire much hope for the Orchard, although Eli Manning (QB-NYG), Larry Fitzgerald (WR-ARI), Devin Hestor (WR-CHI) and Thomas Jones (RB-KC) can all go off at verious times. The problems are many however. Fitzgerald is suffering through the rough genesis of the Derek Anderson 'era' as QB of the Cardinals, while Thomas Jones is affected by sharing time with another quality RB in Jamaal Charles. Devin Hestor doesn't seem to have really progressed into a main receiver, and Johnny Knox, Matt Forte and Tight End Greg Olsen seem to have passed him on the targets front up there in the Windy City. Ryan Matthews (RB-SD) tweeting that he had a high ankle sprain (3 bad words in Fantasy league) also contributes to a feeling of unease around the Orchards. In contrast the Terrors are coming off a good bounce back week as they totted up 138 points in a win over the hegan's helmets in week 2. Primarily responsible for this win was the standout performances of DeSean Jackson (WR-PHI), who is presumably a paid up member of the Michael Vick fan club, Knowshown Moreno (RB-DEN) and especially a monster day for SF Runner Frank Gore. Gore is a solid, solid producer, and this week he will not fear the Chiefs defense too much. Darren McFadden (RB-OAK) will be licking his lips at the thoughts of running at the soft Cardinals underbelly while Carson Palmer, QB-CIN, will hope to have a better outing against the Panthers than the stingy Ravens. Knowshown Moreno ran riot against the Seahawks, and the Colts 'D' sans Bob Sanders might be exploitable on the ground as well.

Following on from that, we have an interesting clash of 4th and 5th place East-West teams, as a pair of 1-1 sides clash. The Smackdown Clowns are coming off a very disappointing 40 point mauling by Capt Pat's Vikings, and will be keen to rebound. Aaron Rogers (QB-GB) lived up to his billing with a 22.90 point return, and Pierre Thomas (RB=NO) was fine with 13.15 points of his own. Apart from that, there were too many underperformers and that will have to be sorted for Week 3. You would expect better than 28 points total out of Hakeem Nicks (WR-NYG), Jamaal Charles (RB-KC), Jason Witten (TE-DAL) and Ahmad Bradshaw (RB-NYG) and if the Clowns are to bounce back, they will need closer to 40+ points from that quartet. As mentioned, Charles is impacted by the fact that Thomas Jones eats some of his carries, and Bradshaw has a similar issue with Jacobs in New York. Witten had the concussion, so there were mitigating circumstances. This week the Clowns will hope his timeshare guys find the endzone to boost their totals, and that Nicks and Witten can get on the end of some more passes. Opponents the New York Jets IV are likewise coming off a loss to the Turfmen, but at least the Jets IV did manage to amass 101 points. Michael Vick has been a bonus for the Jets IV, as he has won the QB job in Philly, and added 17 points last week, However, playing the matchups, the Jets IV are going with Tom Brady instead this week against the Bills, and it's hard to question that move. The next 3 names on the Jets IV starting roster are formidable written down. Roddy White (WR-ATL), Donald Driver (WR-GB) and Ray Rice (RB-BAL). White and Driver have delivered thus far, but Rice has struggled in a Ravens' offense that has flattered to deceive, albeit against two good defenses. This week Rice faces the Browns, so that might be about to change.

The next match on the slate is a top of the table clash in the North-South division as the 2-0 pair of the RedBolt MightyOaks and the Capt Pat's Vikings meet up. Starting with the top ranked Capt. Pat's Vikings, they'll be delighted to have put the hammer down against the Smackdown Clowns, as mentioned above, and will be happy with how Donovan McNabb is setting in as QB of WAS. He was quiet enough against the Cowboys in Week 1, but Week 2 against the Texans was a break out of 21.52 points. This week against Saint Louis will hardly have him shaking in his boots. Another newcomer, Anquan Boldin (WR-BAL) has made a nice start to his Ravens career, in a spluttering offense, so any recovery by Flacco against the Browns will undoubtedly raise his profile as well. Santana Moss (WR-WAS), McNabb's teammate is another who will enjoy the Rams secondary on Sunday. Antonio Gates (TE-SD) is obviously a big time fantasy producer, but the running back tandem of DeAngelo Williams (CAR) and `Jerome Harrison (CLE) will have to step it up significantly if the Vikings are to really push on in this league. The MighyOaks will be leaning heavily on Philip Rivers (QB-SD), Maurice Jones-Drew (RB-JAC), Cedric Benson (RB-CIN) and Visanthe Shiancoe (TE, MIN), but only really Rivers and Shiancoe have stepped up to the mark thus far. The WR trio of Crabtree (SF), Bryant (DAL) and Henderson (NO) have big upside, but if you got all of them contributing heavily then that's a big bonus.
KC, Houston and Atlanta respectively may allow for one or more of those WRs delivering such a bonus in week 3.

The penultimate game in this conference is an all North-South division matchup between the 3rd place hegan's helmets and the 6th place O'Neill's Chargers. The 1-1 Helmets are coming off a defeat to the Craigyhill Terrors, but are in decent shape. Miami QB chad Henne is still a bit of a worry as he is solid rather than a stud, but Reggie Wayne at WR is a fantasy owner's manna from heaven, when healthy. The old man is still Peyton Manning's favourite target, along with Dallas Clark. In a happy coincidence, the TE is also owned by the helmets which gives them approximately 2/3rds of the Colts receiving yards. LeSean McCoy (RB-PHI) had a big week and should continue to impress as he benefits from Weaver's injury. Vick doesn't help McCoy because the triggerman likes to run it himself as well, rather than dump it off, but McCoy's called plays worked well last week.Arien Foster (RB-HOU) had a quiet week last week, but the Texans had to come back against the 'Skins, which would have meant more passing. This week he sees the Dallas Cowboys, so it may be closer early on, which means he has the chance to run again.The Chargers will be disappointed to only score 99 points in a loss last week, but there are some reasons to be hopeful for them also. Jay Cutler (QB-CHI) is going pass happy in Chicago, and Steve Smith (WR-CAR) and Austin Collie (WR-IND) are coming off nice weeks. Shonn Greene (RB-NYJ) Rashad Mendenhall (RB-PIT), Ronnie Brown (RB-MIA) and Tony Gonzalez )TE-KC) have potential to be high scoring threats, but all 4 had poor weeks in week 2, and cannot afford that again in week 3.

Finally in the Montana Conference, we have the 1-1 Shower of Tramps from the North-South division going up against the 0-2 Curragh Rams from the East West Division. Ironically this is actually a midlands derby of Offaly and Kildare. The Shower of Tramps are coming off a very nice week where The Pittsburgh Steelers Defense dominated against the Titans and Chris Johnson, to the tune of 37 points, but on an individual basis Matt Ryan (QB-ATL) had his way with the Cardinals while Andre Johnson (WR-HOU) proved why he is regarded as the best WR in the game. There is a solid support cast with Steven Jackson (RB-STL), Brandon Jackson (RB-GB) and Jermichael Finley (TE-GB) all capable of contributing heavily, but you suspect the season will depend on the third level guys like Steve Smith of the Giants at WR and Marques Colston (WR-NO). A couple of big weeks from them will likely mean wins for the Tramps. On the Rams side, you can't help but be frustrated and disappointed when you score 125 points, have 7 players in double figures and still lose by 9. The Defensive side of the ball is really holding the fort for the Rams as Cincinnati D, Brandon Flowers (CB-KC), Mario Williams (DE, HOU) and rookie Ndamukong Suh (DT-DET) all scored heavily in week 2. On offense, only Tony Romo (QB-DAL), Calvin Johnson (WR-DET) and CLinton Portis (RB-WAS) delivered much in Week 2, but even they will need to pick up the pace,and get help from the likes of Chad Ochocinqo.(WR-CIN).


The Peyton Conference will follow.

Larry Fitz for any RB who is a starter, carries at least 60% of his team rush attempts and doesn't hand over to somebody else on the goal line. That's the first drafted receiver in the league there people.

In fairness, Anderson will throw the ball - I'd prefer to have him than Leinart. He might throw three INT's as well, but that's not Larry's problem.

I still think it's a hell of a lot better offer than Mike Vick who's one bad game away from the bench again.

Payton Conference

The Faithful Turfmen B squad face a tough task in Week 2 as they attempt to bounce back from a bad loss in the Offaly derby to L'Esprit de Biff. The Baltimore offensive struggles have really held the Turfmen back Joe Flacco (QB) and Ray Rice (RB) haven't hit the heights as of yet. Cleveland may be an antidote to that this week however. Jamaal Charle's woes in terms of Thomas Jones taking his carries means he has to break one to be really dangerous. Of course he is more than capable of it, and if the Ravens duo explode, then the likes of Greg Jennings (WR-GB) and Charles may just spark the 'B' team into life. Facing down the Turfmen this week are the formidable 2-0 Ballyhaise Bills, and unlike their real life namesakes, the Bills are going very well in second place in the South-West division. Payton Manning (QB-IND) and Visanthe Shiancoe (TE-MIN) are the backbones, but there is an all round solid squad there, including Percy Harvin, Anquan Boldin, Arien Foster, Clinton Portis and even the mercurial CJ Spiller. Spiller is being held back in Buffalo, but if he breaks through the Fred Jackson roadblock, he may just be the player they, and Ballyhaise, thought they drafted.

Next on the docket is the clash of the 1-1 puppet master and the 0-2 Carlow for Sam 2011 squad. Carlow for Sam have really struggled thus far, gaining a mere 77 points in an almost double score spanking last week, and will be hoping for a radical change in fortunes soon. Donovan McNabb (QB-WAS) can't be blamed after a 21.52 point return in Week 2, and the Vikings 'D' have also starred. It will be important for the Carlow boys that the likes of Steve Smith (WR-NYG), Jeremy Maclin (WR-PHI) , Rashard Mendehall (RB-PIT) and DeAngelo Williams (RB-CAR) start to produce, but if they do then the Carlow squad might well re-emerge as a force in the North-East division. puppet master could easily be 2-0 at this point, losing a squeaker by less than 3 points in Week 2. However, it is hard to feel real sympathy when the target to win that game was just 88 points. One man could probably carry the can for the loss however, and that is Brett Favre, as old greybeard accounted for minus 3.50 points all on his own. It didn't help that puppet master fielded with an empty WR slot either, and that has been corrected for this week. The puppet master manager should probably look at his individual defensive players though, as two of them are NA for this week.It is a shame to waste a great week, but that is what happened the puppets in week 2, as Jahvid Bests 40+ points went unrewarded. You can't rely on a Detroit Running Back, a rookie to boot, to do that every week, so Favre, Chris Johnson (RB-TEN), Cedric Benson (RB-CIN) and co will have to raise their games to give the puppets a chance. Eddie Royal of Denver and Mike Wallace of Pittsburgh carry the WR threat, so perhaps a trip to the waiver wire or trade city is in order.

The third game on the slate is the South-West clash of the 1-1 L'Esprit de Biff and the 0-2 ConVICKS. With almost 60 points between them in points scored, and a direct formline through the Faithful Turfmen 'B' team, you would have to make L'Esprit de Biff favourite. Drew Brees (QB-NO) is a fantasy stud, as are the likes of Larry Fitzgerald and Jason Witten normally. However, Larry Fitzgerald at WR is up against Nnamdi Asomugha this week, and also has to contend with Derek Anderson's accuracy issues. However Fitz is still Fitz, and he's a hard man to miss, so he'll catch his fair share. It might not be Andre Johnson territory is all. Jason Witten had other issues, namely being unable to remember his name after a hit, but he should be okay for the battle of Texas against the Houston Texans. the Texans pass defense has been poor, so it could be an opportunity for Tony Romo and the Cowboys to get their offense moving, which should help TE Witten. The ConVICKs have struggled, and really need to do something about QB. Matt Stafford (DET) is down and out for a while with a seperated shoulder, so he needs to be replaced. Reggie Wayne (WR-IND) will gather points as long as he stays healthy, while Steve Smith (CAR-WR) and Antono Gates (TE-SD) are also reliable. Running back is a problem though, as Thomas Jones (KC) is fighting for carries with Jamaal Charles and Ryan Matthews (SD) has let the twitterverse know that he has a high ankle sprain. That normally spells a week at least on the bench, as that's a troublesome injury for Running Backs, and it stops them cutting back. All that considered, it's hard to see a ConVICKS bounce back here, and moves may be necessary, at least at QB.

The pivot game sees the 0-2 rookies of the Rehab is 4 Quitters squad face up against doughty veteran, 1-1 mayo warriors. The Quitters squad hada good week from Michael Vick in Week 2, but unfortunately left an even better week in Matt Schaub (QB-KC) sitting sadly on the bench. Schaub is reinstated for Week 3, against Dallas, and the Quitters will be hoping this roll of the dice pays off. Andre Johnson (WR-HOU) had a monster week last week, and Quitters will be hoping the Schaub-Johnson double act will fire again. The Other Johnson, Calvin, WR-DET is another serious threat at WR, and his trip to the Vikings might be a big opportunity for him. Again, as is common in this conference, RB seems to be an issue for the Quitters. Last week was Marion Barber (DAL) and Fred Taylor (NE - Running by committee). This week Mike Tolbert (SD) gets his chance as a replacement for the likely injured Ryan Matthews, and might be a good play. Either way, it's a safe bet that the Johnsons, Schaub and even TJ houshmanzadeh will have to be big scorers to secure a win here. The mayo warriors bounced back from an opening week loss to top the Old Jack City team 116.42 - 112.19, and will be delighted to see a 1-2-3 punch of Jay Cutler (QB-CHI), Roddy White (WR-ATL) and DeSean Jackson (WR-PHI) all pile up the points, along with Darren McFadden (RB-OAK). Cutler is going to throw all year, for good or bad, and should score v Green Bay. White will have a tougher secondary this week in the Saints, but not a frightening one, while Jackson should be okay against Jacksonville. McFadden will be hopeful against a Cardinals D that has yet to stop anybody, but if they do the likes of Ahmad Bradshaw (RB-NYG) and Chad Ochocinco (WR-CIN) will have to show something.

On now to the North-East 3rd versus 4th clash as the 1-1 pair of Old Jack City and North Antrim Nuggets get up close and personal. Old Jack City was on the receiving end of that result for the mayo warriors in round 2, and will be hoping to get back to winning ways. Tom Brady (QB-NE) was uncharacteristically quiet last week, but against a very good Jets defense. You can almost chalk down 15 points + this week against the hapless Bills, especially in Roxboro. Miles Austin (WR-DAL) has been a beast thus far, and should be again against Houston, while Wes Welker (WR-NE) should be the target for a lot of Brady's throws in New England. Yet again, running backs are an issue. Shonn Green (NYJ) and Jerome Harrison (CLE) have fallen way below expectations so far, but they both have undoubted potential. If they fail to spark, then there will be serious pressure on the likes of Derek Mason (WR-BAL) and Zach Miller (TE-OAK) to show much more than they have done to date. The Nuggets, on the other hand, rebounded in week 2, with a strong showing of 136 points to see off the Red Hand Helmets. This win came despite a horror show from KC quarterback Matt Cassel, as Mike Sims-Walker (WR-JAC) and Frank Gore (RB-SF) especially, carried a huge load. Brandon Marshall (WR-MIA) and Mercedes Lewis (TE-JAC) are two potential match winners as well, but Jonathan Stewart (RB-CAR) and Chester Taylor (RB-CHI) are suffering in the shadow of DeAngelo Williams and Matt Forte respectively. This matchup features two of the better team defenses as well, as the Nuggets Steelers D faces off against the Old Jack City's Bengals, however it might be the triple threat of Brady, Welker and Austin that swing it the way of the Old JAck City squad.

Next to last on the schedule is the suprise leading 2-0 Shrek's Ogres putting their unbeaten start on the line against the 0-2 Red Hand Helmets in a North-East division matchup. The Ogres squeaked past the puppet master in week 2, registering only 88.03 points, while the Helmets scored 104 points in defeat. The Ogres will suffer with Reggie Bush's broken leg, but Aaron Rogers (QB-GB), Donald Driver (WR-GB) and Dallas Clark (TE-IND) will be asked to carry the load. Nate Washington(WR-TEN), Brandon Jacob (RB-NYG) and Devin Aromashodu (WR-CHI) have not given much yet (apart from JAcobs throwing his helmet into the crowd) and will need to give some support or Bush's injury may prove catastrophic. On the Helmets sidelines, the manager will be looking at the likes of Adrian Peterson (RB-MIN) and Pierre Thomas (RB-NO) to continue their momentum gained last week, and will look to the likes of Vernon Davis (TE-SF) and Eli Manning (QB-NYG) to provide solid support. Wide Receiver is a bit of a weakness on this team, with Steelers Wideout Hines Ward being the most dangerous, and he is a bit long in the tooth at this stage. Steve Breaston (ARI) is having a good start to the season, but also might suffer from the Derek Anderson factor, while Braylon Edwards (NYJ) seems to be on a one man mission to get kicked out of the NFL.

Finally (phew, I need a voice recognition software pack) we come to the story of the year so far as rookie Coolera Bears put their 2-0 record and 142 point average on the line against the 1-1 Crossmaglen Hitmen. The Bears have been a breath of fresh air so far as Philip River (QB-SD), Randy Moss (WR-NE), Marr Forte (RB-CHI) and Austin Collie (WR-IND) have lead a supporting cast including Steven JAckson (RB-STL) to a very quick start. There may be a couple of flies gathering around the ointment though. Can Rivers really keep throwing all over the field when Vincent Jackson is sitting out, especially now that Ryan Matthews is out of action? Will Randy Moss start sulking in New England? And can Matt Forte really keep up this pace? Even if the answer to some of those questions are negative, you would suspect that the Bears have enough to keep competitive every week, in a fine debut season. This week they'll see a Fantasy old timer in the Hitmen. Tony Romo (QB-DAL) and Maurice Jones Drew (RB-JAC) are the big names here, and both have been below par to average so far. Romo is up against the Texans on Sunday, and Drew takes on a Philly D that got slaughtered by Jahvid BEst last week. Could this be the week where you see 20 points + from each of them? If so, then LeSean McCoy (RB-PHI), Kevin Walter (WR-HOU) and co may just earn enough to eek out a win, but I think my money will still be on the upstart Sligo team.

Lads,

Whoever is doing that trade, can you just PM me the rationale behind it? It's basically Andre Johnson for Chris Johnson (fair enough) and Michael Vick AND Marion Barber for Mike Wallace (?).

I'm not necessarily objecting to it, but I'd like to hear the reasoning from both sides.

Cheers

Some of you would be shocked at the trades I have had turned down.  In hindsight this 14 man league leaves things too deep with the smarter guys who actually were able to draft sitting way ahead of the rest.  With few core players us mid tier men and bottom of the league guys have hardly anything, to trade with.

This is a decent trade for both Puppetmaster and I - lets see what happens.

Lads I need some advice in another league, I don't know what to do and you fine gentlemen are my last resort. Starting roster is 2 rbs, 2 wr and one flex position. I have been offered Ryan Matthews and Mike Sims Walker for DeSean Jackson. My receivers are DJax, Mike Wallace, Braylon Edwards, Mike Williams, and Vincent Jackson. My rbs are Shonn Greene, Jonathan Stewart, Knowshawn Moreno and James Harrison. My RBs are not doing well because Greene is losing carries to LT, Harrison losing carries to Hillis, and Stewart is just not doing it. Moreno is doing well. Jackson is probably my top performer but Matthews could be a beast when fit, and Vincent Jackson could be good when he comes back.
Views will be greatly appreciated.

@The Claw: All indicators are that VJax will sit out the season at the mo, so I'd drop him to be honest... at the very least dont be doing the trade based on him coming back...

@AZ/ Iceman... I wasnt raising an objection to the trade I just think its mad to trade away AJ80 in a PPR, especially when you're also giving away potentially the best player in fantasy with him! Vick has never had these weapons before, he's never had such good QB coaches as Reid and Worinwheg (sp?), and his performance is showing it. I would wait until after this weekend to do the trade, as Vick has his first test against a pretty good D, and we'll know if he's for real 100% of the time by Monday morning.

As it stands you think you're doing OK from the trade, so does your trade partner, and when that is the case, who are we to question it?

I think the trade is ok. I know Vick is making a bit of a splash at the moment but I don't expect it to last. Also Barber is doing nothing. On the other side of the trade, I expect Mike Wallace to improve Once Ben Rothliesberger comes back in week 5.

I'm having a w**k year...

I made the draft only to get kicked out because of a crappy pc in an internet cafe just 3 picks before my first rounder. The computer then picked stupid Shonne Green for me. I'd have taken Miles Austin (Even though Moss was still available, I thought Austin had the potential to be the No2 receiver after AJ80), that would have left me a decent RB in round 2 (My plan was to take Williams, Grant, Benson, Charles, or Foster if they were there).

Everything went downhill from there. Suck, suck, suck. Now... If Sidney Rice makes it back by week 8 or so, and I'm around .500 by then...

That's an interesting one with Randy Moss. Will he be on Revis Island this weekend? Minnesota really need him but I wonder is his addition going to be enough to open up the passing game for them. Favre should be better after the bye week. From a fantasy point of view Moss should be receiving more targets than in recent weeks in New England.

About time Marshawn Lynch was traded too!

Points only matter if you're on the same record as another,or so i believe.
As for the playoffs
Is it 2/3/4 from each division  of 7?
if it were 2
You would definetely need to be around 10-4 or 11-3
3/4 teams
8-6 might get you in the last spot.

2 wins in 2 weeks and in good shape to win again this week (fingers crossed)
Big Ben is back and my trade for Wallace will hopefully make sense. Chris Johnson is putting numbers up again and if i can get my QB back on track I should be in good shape to make the playoffs

Have Tony Moeaki up for trade if anyone needs a TE in the Peyton Conference? He served his purpose for me during the bye week for Hernandez and although they are ranked close I am sticking with Hernandez.
TE Tony Moeaki continues to lead the team in receiving, as he has 16 catches for 173 yards and two touchdowns. Moeaki has become QB Matt Cassel's go-to receiver in just four games. No one else on the team has more than nine receptions.


Let me know? There are a few candidates out there weak on the TE side. Puppet Master you could do with strengthening your TE bench while Finley is out....

I know but I do well out of the current system. I lost this week because of players just not performing and others having a bye week. My main point would be that it is too hard for QBs and running backs to generate points in this league in comparison to say wide receivers or even kickers.

It doesn't seem right to have your kicker generating more points than your quarterback every week.

My kicker doesn't outscore my QB, unless the QB has a mare.

The scoring can be found on the league home.

Sorry about being quiet lads, the last few weeks have been busy. I was away last weekend and forgot to set my lineup (cardinal sin) so that's why I lost to the Kildare loopers.

We used to have it the other way round, but the problem is there are less good QB's to be had, so if someone drafted say, Brees or Manning it gave them a massive example. Some quiet young fella won the league a few years back purely on the strength of having Brady the year he and Moss exploded.

Seanie, are you nervous? I think I'm 6+ points behind you, but I have the Jacksonville kicker and a Titans' lineman. A few sacks and Jags having to kick field goals all night would be ideal :D

Pity it wasn't this week!

I'm not nervous - I'm completely resigned to my first defeat. The Washington DL man getting 6 points last night sealed it. The Jax kicker alone will probably get you over the line, he has some boot on him. You deserve it anyway looking at your bench but my last minute decision to bench Collie for Marques Colston (surely he has to score a TD some week soon?) will likely be the difference.

I've a few tricky weeks with byes coming up so will need to halt the slide.

A lot of players are just not performing. A lot of players struggling with injury.
A lot of guys involved in the Board league seemed to have lost interest or are busy as there were a serious amount of teams with active players on a 'bye' week.

I'm happy to take advantage of it all. The game isn't over yet but I should pick up the 'W' tonight and go 3-3.

Still open to some trades if anyone is interested.

Wembley is a bit of a shit hole. Somebody in Germany asked Roger Goodell, the boss of the NFL, why not hold a game in Germany as NFL Europe was much more popular in Germany and Goodell basically told him to shut up and forget about it.

I think they are genuinely hoping that it would be possible to have an NFL franchise in London and are trying to build up demand and a fan base for the NFL product in London.

Not going this year either, the horrible matchup is the main reason. Kinda knew when these teams were announed that neither would be good enough to tempt me to go. Similar to last years game i think everyone knew that the Patriots were gonna beat the buccs out the gate in a pretty rubbish game but at least you would get to see Brady, Moss, Welker and a few other big names play. This year it just seems to be Frank Gore worth watching.

i think next year you should just look at a straight league then Az like it was before  because you could be the winner of one of the divisions and yet be maybe 5 or 6 best overall (probably not expaining myself too well here ) plus with the divisions epecially this year its a balls for our divison as we have to play the top 2 teams in the league twice . i think i may be taking this fantasy football a little too serious  :D

Lads I've sent about 5 trade proposals in the Montana conference that have been outstanding for about 2 weeks. Would ye mind looking to see if you are one of them because people don't seem to be responding. Looking for a decent qb to replace Favre. Offers welcome. Whoever offered me big Ben, I'll probably come back to you this week. I'm Royal Badgers

I responded there Claw. Sent it back on Sunday or Monday.

It's actually a week later than default. It's a device to stop dead teams trading away good players. With 5 weeks left everyone should still be interested.

Nope. The two winners of the divisions will be seeded 1 & 2. Seeds 3 & 4 will be the 'wildcards' with the best record, so you could have 3 & 4 from the same division. Then 1 v 4, 2 v 3.

i think next year you should just look at a straight league then Az like it was before  because you could be the winner of one of the divisions and yet be maybe 5 or 6 best overall (probably not expaining myself too well here ) plus with the divisions epecially this year its a balls for our divison as we have to play the top 2 teams in the league twice . i think i may be taking this fantasy football a little too serious  :D

Some very valid points. I think it makes a lot of sense. Trouble is in the interest of getting more people involved we open the doors then people lose interest or have a shit team because they were not sure what they were at during the draft.

I definitely think a revised approach next year would be worth considering.
The only chance I have of getting anywhere is divine Intervention and the top teams lose some of their star players to injury. Nobody is really trading and there isn't much left to pick up on Waivers at this point.

In fairness, you're in a similar boat to myself - it's not that nobody is trading, it's that nobody is trading running backs that are likely starters. These players have huge value, to the point that last week I ended up trading a second receiver in a pass-happy team for a third down back - and while that might sound stupid, it's because I know that I'll be able to pick up a receiver on the waiver wire each week, while I won't get any RB's that are worth anything.

I'm not trying to pick a row and I appreciate what you're saying, but you were on this thread looking to offload a QB who was a 50/50 long term starter in a league with 32 starting QB's every week, and to get a starting RB in exchange? My best RB is Joseph Addai, who only hits 100 yards every 10 games but does start when fit. There's no way I'd give him up for Tom Brady or Payton Manning, never mind somebody like Vick. It's not fair to say that no-one is trading.

I might not be one to talk about bad trades after trading Tom Brady and Brand on Jacobs for Jerome Harrison and Joe Flacco, but I think it was a bad idea to trade a good receiver for an average running back. This league is all about receivers with the points for receptions and only 1 point for 20 yards.

A running back could have a big week with 160 yards and only gets 8 points. if he had a couple of fumbles it would be back down to 4 points. All a receiver needs to do to match that is 2 receptions and 40 yards. THe only running backs that are worht a lot are the ones who score touchdowns and catch the ball.
Title: Re: NFL Fantasy Football - GAABoard Superbowl VI
Post by: Lone Shark on October 28, 2010, 06:14:19 PM
That's all very well, but the point is that receivers that are projected to score 7 points or so are easy enough to find. Of course I expect Jabar Gaffney to outscore Justin Forsett, but the point is that I can't play Gaffney as a RB, while I still have two competent receivers on the bench to cover me for bye weeks and the like, and that's with three receivers starting since I have Mike Thomas as the flex player. It's just supply and demand and if you go through the league, there are probably 10-20 decent receivers being dropped every week by teams, while there are very few (if any) good RB's left unused.

Your logic would stand up if it was an option to just start any player in any position, but it isn't so that's why RB's attract a premium.

Miles Austin is up for grabs if anyone in Payton is interested.

As far as Waivers go... I got Marshawn Lynch and Ryan Torain off the waiver wire in the last three weeks- both are now starting RB's!

in fairness Lone shark I made a trade at 0-3 and it was the turning point for me. When I traded vick he was the starting QB.
Some of it was good luck on my part in that Vick and Johnson both got injured the week after the trade and I am 3-1 since that trade with a good chance to win again this weekend. Some of that luck seems to be coming full circle and Puppet Master is doing ok again - I honestly felt bad about the injuries.....

With 14 in the league, teams are so spread thin and injuries are definite that people dont want to trade. I was also caught out on the Draft being blocked here in work so had to rely on auto picks so my options are very limited. I've done OK but don't have the solid teams some of the other lads have (and as was mentioned we have to play them twice in our divisions).

I wouldn't argue with the trade you made at all - I thought it was a fair swap at the time and nobody can predict injuries. I was just putting together some of the trade requests you were suggesting on here with the idea that there's no trading to be done and there was a degree of causality there.

Lets break down the trade proposal put forward by Mcgrens

Miles Austin.
Top WR ranked well at the beginning of the season. Has since drifted to about #60 with hot and cold performances and poor service from Romo who is now out.....

With the depth he has at WR, Mcgrens is probably hoping for a RB. He needs a starter, of which there are few unless you pick up someone who is a kick return guy. He has Greene on the bench but LT seems to be getting more of the carries. Nobody is in a position to trade because of the 14 players in the league. Teams are so thin that nobody has starters on the bench worth talking about or of major value.......I wouldn't swop any of my starters for greene or austin right now.....

Clos-ish. I'd actually think about trading Welker instead, because I have decent depth and I dont actually think Austin will struggle too much with the loos of Romo- He's a Yards After The Catch on crossing routes kind of receiver at his best anyway. I would like an RB, but Ive got two promising starters (particularly this week) in Lynch and Torain, both of whom will be starters for their respective teams for the remainder of the year if they stay fit. Im set at QB, set at TE, happy at WR (If Sidney Rice ends up being anywhere near what he was last year I'll have mega receiver depth), I could just use a bit of depth at RB.

At the mo the only reason Im keeping Greene (Stupid f**king auto draft) is in case LT breaks down (he's done that two straight years now), or for when the Jets start to pull back on LT's work to keep him fresh for the playoffs. Michael Bush is a very good backup to one of the NFL's most brittle players.

Only levelling the series even if I do hold on - hopefully we'll get a chance for a decider in the playoffs!  ;)

As for Carpenter, that's what you call dumb luck. I had David Akers all year and while he had one disaster week, generally he was going well - but he was on a bye, so in came Carpenter. Happy day.  :D

You can pick up a starting QB any time. Holding on to Orton is of no real value to you and in fairness not too many would trade for him.
Your priority at this point in the season should be strengthening your core team - getting some boys off your bench and bundling them with some decent players and trading. Holding boys on the bench doesnt make a pile of sense unless you have a lot of players on bye weeks coming up.

It was a big display from my kicker last week, so I'm really all about the team ethic - different players step up at different times to make a contribution...... :P

Need the Steelers to win big tonight and the RB and WR to haul in the points - this one could go to the wire!

Payton Conference - Would be interested in doing a deal with someone before the deadine. My main concern is WR, think I could do with an upgrade there and injuries/uncertainty hampering me a bit. I've 4 starting RB's on my roster - Coolera Bears - for anyone who is short there.

Yeah, I really had to work hard at it this week with my lineup (WR hell going on for me) and got a bit of luck with Steve Smith going down after I picked up Manningham. Thankfully I left out the right RB (Forte), a decision I agonised over for a long time.

Big one next week with Ballyhaise Bills, someone will drop to 9-2. Both teams currently projected to score approx 135 so will probably be verytight.

Yeah, those Vikings guys fecked you up altogether. When I saw I scored 30 odd points last night I assumed Manningham had got the bulk of them but it was Tuck who went ape. You've been unlucky that I posted big totals the weeks against you.

I think Favre may have taken his last snap. There is no sense in keeping playing him.

i'd say my season is all over too far behind , really pissed off because i left loads of points on the bench , plus my kicker only score 1 point last night and my TE have been useless the past 5 weeks

I think for 2011 we should have some feedback from teams to make it a better league.
AZ if you're planning on running the show next year again might be an idea to email everyone offline afterwards.

Hope to clinch the 4th spot but not sure if I'll manage it. My BIG players are not scoring the points they should be.......

In fairness to our esteemed commissioner he's asked for suggestions for next year at the end of every league.

Anyone know how the standings are decided if teams have an equal record? Does it go on Division record first then points scored or points scored first then division record?
Reason i ask is that in the Montana conference 4-5 teams are trying for 3rd & 4th place and could all finish on the same record. I dont see anything in the league rules section...

Gutted :) Well done to the 4 playoff bound teams in the Montana Conference. I ended up just on the outside, looking in, but a 9-5 record is my best for some couple of seasons, so happy enough with that. Missing out on points difference is a bummer, but it shows how tight the league is.

So, in Montana Conference, well done to our top seed New York Jets IV, who finished with a 12-2 record, a full 2 games better than their nearest rival, to win the East and West Division, and claim #1 rankings in the playoffs.

#2 seed will be the Shower of Tramps who clinched victory this week in the North and South division by beating hegan's helmets to claim a 10-4 record and a berth in the conference playoffs.

#3 seed is from the East and West Conference, and the runner up there, Smackdown Clowns. 9-5 was good enough to take the #3 seed, with an impressive 1836 points. The #4 seed, by a mere 50 points over 14 games was the North and South runner up, Craigyhill Terrors, also on a 9-5 mark who pipped the in no way bitter Faithful Turfmen.

So, the playoffs for the Montana Conference next week will feature
1) New York Jets IV v 4) Craigyhill Terrors
2) Shower of Tramps v 3) Smackdown Clowns

In the Payton Conference, pride of place goes to the unbelievable rookie performance of the 13-1 Coolera Bears. #1 seeds and 1893 points is a great debut season for the Bears, and they will be hoping to carry on through the playoffs now.

The number 2 seed goes to the Crossmaglen Hitmen, division winners of North and East, with a record of 9-5, illustrating the disparity between performances in these two divisions. That record and points status would be good for 4th in the South and West Division.

#3 and #4 seeds, as wildcards with the best records, both go to South and West teams, with the number 3 seed going to the 12-2 Ballyhaise Bills, and the #4 seed going to the L'Esprit de Biff squad, who make a welcome return to the playoffs by squeaking in on points difference on a 9-5 mark, ahead of the Red Hand Helmets, albeit by a margin of 100 points.

So, in the Payton Conference

#1) Coolera Bears v #4) L'Esprit de Biff
#2) Crossmaglen Hitmen v #3) Ballyhaise Bills.


Semi Finals to be played this week, so remember your teams for Thursday night!!

There are also consolation matches for the teams ranked 5-8 in each conference, so check them out and submit your teams if you are in.

Hope everyone enjoyed the league this year, and as always, suggestions welcome for next season.

Enjoy the Playoffs, and may the best two teams win to face off for the title of GAA Board Superbowl VI Champion in our playoff predictions competition.

What a disaster that was, after a 5-1 start, I finished 3-5. I had a bit of bad luck with Antonio Gates who was the best fantasy player in the league at one point getting injured and the Tennessee Titans turning a corner and going backwards, I had 4 players, Britt, Bironas, Griffin and the Tennessee defense who were also league leaders in their positions, whose production all fell off dramatically. I thought I would cruise into the playoffs at one stage. TO went quiet after a strong start to the season as did Boldin. De Angelo Williams my top draft pick went on IR after doing nothing and I traded away Tom Brady and Brandon Jacobs for a bag of doughnuts and Joe Flacco. 

Well done to those that got through, but I will be back next year.

Not trying to make you feel any worse but if you hadnt traded Brady away you easily would have made the playoffs and i think it would be yours to lose now...

Post by: magpie seanie on December 28, 2010, 06:27:57 PM
Firstly congrats to Ballyhaise. You won the most important of our 3 tussles this season. I am completely gutted. Was convinced all along I'd beat you in this one and even with the Bears D going awol and San Diego imploding I couldn't see Abraham outscoring Colston in the last game but hey - I guess that's fantasy NFL. Good luck in the predictions comp that I think you have to win to take the overall title.

Thanks a million to AZ for organising it. I genuinely hadn't much of an idea at the start but I got hooked. I'm sick I didn't win it out but I'm also raging its over either way. Massive craic. Doubt I'll be as tuned in next year but roll on August and we'll get it going again.

After a one year stopover to bitter rivals Mayo the Montana Conference Crown has returned to Roscommon ;D Though it must be said that the two counties have shared the last 4 Montana titles.

Review of my Fantasy Season:

Best Draft Pick: A Rodgers (1)
Honourable Mentions: J Witten (4), H Nicks (5)

Worst Draft Pick: P Thomas (2)
Honourable Mentions: None close to Thomas

Best Pickup: D Bess
Honourable Mentions: M Tolbert, B Green-Ellis, J Tuck

Worst Pickup: Deji Karim (A one week stop gap at RB for his return yards, got me 1 point)
No Honourable Mentions

Worst Drop: S Holmes

Well lads, it's wrap up time on another Fantasy season, and congrats to everyone who took part and stuck with it, but special congratulations to our two conference Champions, the Smack Down Clowns and the Ballyhaise Bills. Also a special mention for our undisputed Rookie of the year, the Coolera Bears. They just came up short at the end, but certainly put paid to the notion that you have to be a multi year veteran to be competitive.

Now it's time to crown our GAABoard Superbowl champion. As you know, we do a predictions competition for all the playoff games up to and including the Superbowl itself. In prior years it's been based on the results of the game, but I think it's fair to say that the competition peetered out as one or the other surged ahead, so this year the head to head between our two conference Champions will be based on more Fantasy type scores.

So, Smackdown Clowns and Ballyhaise Bills, please PM me your picks in the following areas. PM do not post :) You need to make a pick in each category for ech game, 16 picks in total. Each pick you get right will get you 10 points. A wrong pick will be 5 points. The categories are the same for all 4 games.

1. Winning Team (Team that wins through to the next round, OT counts)
2. Team with most Rushing Yards
3. Team with most Passing Yards
4. Team winning the Turnover Battle.

All Stats will be taken from the official NFL.COM game centre of each game. Any ties in a category for 2,3 or 4 will be declared no bet.

As an example I have filled out my picks for the first game of the weekend, New Orleans @ Seattle in the NFC. This takes place on Saturday.

Please remember you should pick for all 4 games, and if you do not enter, you get 0 points.

Wild Card Weekend (4 Games).

New Orleans @ Seattle (SAT)
New York Jets @ Indianapolis (SAT)
Baltimore @ Kansas City (SUN)
Green Bay @ Philly (SUN)


Sample picks for game 1.

Team to win - New Orleans
Most Rushing Yards - New Orleans
Most Passing Yards - Seattle
Turnover Battle - New Orleans


Anyone not involved in the final can feel free to post their picks, I'll keep a running count out of interest.

Hope ye enjoyed the season!

Wild Card Weekend (4 Games).

New Orleans @ Seattle (SAT)

Team to win - New Orleans
Most Rushing Yards - New Orleans
Most Passing Yards - New Orleans
Turnover Battle - New Orleans

Saints to run roughshod over Seattle. Brees sits out the 4th Quarter.

New York Jets @ Indianapolis (SAT)

Team to win - Indy
Most Rushing Yards - New York
Most Passing Yards - Indy
Turnover Battle - Indy

I see this one being close. I'm not comfortable with the Jets to have most rush yards pick, as Indy's run D has been extremely strong of late (check out what they did against good run offenses in the last few weeks). Regardless, never bet against Peyton Manning at home, in a big game, or at night. Last time the Colts were the three seed they won the Superbowl.

Baltimore @ Kansas City (SUN)

Team to win - Kansas City (at the very least to beat the spread)
Most Rushing Yards - Kansas City
Most Passing Yards - Baltimore
Turnover Battle - Kansas City

I just have a feeling. Ive thought Baltimore were way overrated all year long. I dont think Baltimore match up well with the KC offense, and I think Baltimore have no explosiveness in their O.

Green Bay @ Philly (SUN)


Team to win - Philly
Most Rushing Yards - Philly
Most Passing Yards - Green Bay
Turnover Battle - Philly

This one is a coin flip. Everything rides on the fitness of the two QB's. Above I've assumed they will be OK. If Vick isn't OK to go at 100% I'm changing to Green Bay- I LOVE the Green Bay WR's against the Philly D backs.

Review of my Fantasy Season:

Best Draft Pick: A. Collie (15)
Honourable Mentions: P. Rivers (4), Chicago DEF (11), L. Tomlinson (13)

Worst Draft Pick: R. Moss (1)
Honourable Mentions: Nothing near as bad as that

Best Pickup: J. Tamme
Honourable Mentions: M. Manningham

Worst Pickup: V. Jackson. Got injured straight away, had him on the bench when he scored 3 TD's and then flopped a week later when I needed it most. 
Honourable Mentions: None

Worst Drop: D. Bryant. Worked out ok for me in the end when I got Manningham and injuries to Nicks/Smith but I missed out on his most productive period of the season.

Hi Declan,

Unfortunately Ballyhaise Broncos gave you a walkover last weekend, despite a PM to him and a post here as well. I hope he's alright :D Anyway, that gave you a free run at extending your lead, and just gives the Broncos 3 games to pull you back.

Rushing Yards - BB 0, SC +10

We should have the draft outside of work hours so people aren't inconvenienced like that. It is not fair to have to break from work for it. People who will only turn up for the draft if it is in work hours are less important than those who will give up their free time for it.

Correct on both counts. I can't believe they gave up DRC AND a second round pick for him. I'm not too pushed about losing DRC because he cannot tackle, but he's a good cover corner. Lot of pressure on Peterson now.

The Montana Conference is set up with the defaults from last season. Any changes will have to be agreed by majority (I'll add a poll here if I receive proposed changes). If you were in the montana conference last year you should receive an invitation.

If you don't get the email, or you weren't in it last year, they league id is 305938

Any chance we could reduce the number of teams per conference?
If necessary add a third and go no less than 10 teams per ocnference and no more than 12.
Last year a few of the teams stopped playing (or lost interest) so maybe if more than 4 games were missed they should be dropped this year..?
I dunno - just a few suggestions.

I've no issue with that, but we'll have to think of a better way to determine our overall winner in any case. I don't like the predictions thing, it's an anti climax.

How about trying to seperate the teams into 3 hierarchical divisions (or conferences, based on last year?) Top 10 scores from last year go into the Montana conference, and fight for the Division 1 or A championship. 2nd 10 go into the Payton conference to play for the B Championship, and the last 10 go into the C championship (along with newbies?)

Thoughts? Would we get 30?
Title: Re: NFL Fantasy Football - GAABoard Superbowl VI
Post by: The Iceman on August 01, 2011, 03:29:01 PM
I like that idea a lot!
we might be able to get 30 - we have 23 days now so see who is genuinely interested.

Even 20 would be fine.

Top 4 move up bottom 4 move down next year...

With only ten teams in a conference it would leave more players available instead of fighting for scraps..... Could make for an interesting year and a tight competition.

There was a problem
There is not room in this league if all teams from last year return. To join, get the commissioner to increase the maximum number of teams, or remove teams that will not be returning. (Error #638)


If you do intend to expand, I'd like to join.  Would be quite happy to be the Junior C team of this league.  If there's no room, no bother.

Try again there. We'll see how many we get, and then decide whether to split into A, B and C. If we get 24, I like 3x 8 less than 24, I think we go 2 division.

So. ... is it essentially going to be two tiered with two totally separate leagues?
Title: Re: NFL Fantasy Football - GAABoard Superbowl VI
Post by: AZOffaly on August 01, 2011, 07:20:05 PM
Yep OffalyLad, or maybe even 3. Last year we had 28 teams I think. The problem we've had is getting an overall winner. Yahoo doesn't allow for seperate leagues to have 'champions' that play against each other. Therefore we were using a predictions competitions where the two winners predicted the playoff games to give us an overall champion.

I'm kind of liking the idea of splitting into two or three leagues of 8-10 each, and each league is a seperate competition, with it's own playoffs etc, just like now. Except we tier them according to previous (2010) points totals so the top 8-10 are in Division 1, 11-20 in Division 2 and 20+ newbies are in division 3.

Anyone have a major issue with that? If not, I'll put up a proposed divisional split.

One other thing, I don't think Yahoo allows non playing commisioners, so I'll have to have a team in each league, no matter how good or bad I do. Is everyone okay with that?
Title: Re: NFL Fantasy Football - GAABoard Superbowl VI
Post by: Lone Shark on August 01, 2011, 07:30:17 PM

18 in so far lads. Keep registering, and when we get enough for 3 leagues, I'll make the C Division.  If everyone just registers in one of the two divisions that are there now, that should allow for up to 32.

We'll then split out by the divisions after that, so you'll just have to rejoin the league I send you individually. Sounds complicated, but it isn't.

Lads I have a couple of questions as I'm a newcomer to this game.  I'm guessing its like fantasy soccer where you pick a team of players and they get you points based on how they do.  Most points win and you can make changes at various times during the year.  Any other basic things I'm missing? 

Also the draft, I take it this is where you get your players but how does it work? Is it automatically picked or do we all pick out of a pot at the same time?  If you miss the draft do you get left with the players nobody else wanted?  Cheers for the advice in advance!
Title: Re: NFL Fantasy Football - GAABoard Superbowl VII
Post by: AZOffaly on August 02, 2011, 11:01:58 PM
Same principle doireabu, except each week you are playing against 1 other manager. Your points for that week versus his determines the winners.

The draft is how you get your initial roster, from which you pick a weekly team.

Just before the draft, you are assigned a draft position. (e.g 3)  That means you pick 3rd the first time, and 3rd last the second time, 3rd again the 3rd time and so on.

The trick with the draft, unlike the soccer, is that everyone is basically picking from the same pool. So it's not based on money or a budget. You can pick anybody still available, as long as you fill the required positions. As soon as a player is picked though, he is gone for everyone else.

So in my example, you'll have the third pick in round one, and will be able to select anybody except the two players selected by the lads picking in positions 1 and 2.

Obviously as the rounds go on, less and less players are available.  You should try a few mock drafts on Yahoo. (It's called a 'snake' draft).

Here ya go           http://help.yahoo.com/l/us/yahoo/sports/fantasysports/football/rules/

Basics
1) look at league scoring rules per position
2) how many starters needed per postion
3) look for backups at rb, qb & wr positions
4) score more points than opponent and win
5) wait for another week before rating players (free agency still going on)
6) the draft is live where you pick from the player pool (sometimes yahoo misses players ie DL,LB)
7) pick players based on point projection
8) if you can't make the draft, yahoo will pick auto for you from your pre-ranked players
9) trash talk is encouraged
10) set lineups every week, look at injury reports and have fun

If we are putting things up for a vote. Here are 2

1 point for a running back gaining 10 yards instead of 20 which is too difficult.

The size of the divisions. Should there be 8 10 12 or 14 teams in each division?

I think the 1 point for 20 yards rushing and receiving is good, it keeps better parity between Rbs, Wrs & Qbs. If you change it for the Rbs the you have to look at changing the 1 point for 50 yards passing also which would cause a lot of hassel.
Done a quick check and A Foster the top RB from last year would have almost double P Mannings score last year if it was 1 point for 10 yards and manning had 4700 yards + 33TDs a good year by all accounts...

Dont mind how many teams in each division. I suppose the number of entrants is going to determine it in the end...

For what its worth I don't agree with 1 point for 10 yds rushing for RB's. 60 yds rushing would be the same as a TD and that can't be right.

Size of division doesn't bother me too much. I think 10 or 12 is ideal but I'm cool like the Fonz on that one.

I think I agree with Declan on the scoring. It also is reflective of the fact that it's a passing league now (the NFL), so our league is in line with that. I suppose it's a judgment call as to where you draft your players.

As for structure, this is what I'm thinking, as per earlier emails.

3 seperate leagues, with promotion and relegation for next year. We currently have 24 i think, and are pushing for 30 which would give us 3 leagues of 10.

The Montana League (as I'll rename it) is the 'A' competition, and would be made up of the top 10 point scoring teams from last year.

The Payton League will be the 'B' competition and has teams ranked 11-20.

The new Rice League will be the 'C' competition and is for newbies and teams ranked 20+


Each League will have 2 divisions of 5 teams each (or whatever). The winners of each division will make the playoffs, as will 2 wildcards.

Weeks 15 and 16 will be each leagues semi final and final.


That will end the Fantasy Season then, and we'll have 3 champions (and 3 trophies). We might do a predictions thing for everyone for the playoffs, but I don't like the way that's been deciding our 'Champion' up to this year.

How many are we talking about going up and down each year? I'd be in favour of a lot of movement, give plenty of people a crack at the Superbowl over a few years.

Actually, how about the Div 3 winner going straight up to Div 1? That way the ultimate trophy is no more than two seasons away for any newbie?

Bottom team in Div 1 goes to 3, 2nd and 3rd from bottom to 2. Top 2 in 2 go up, bottom 2 go down, top 1 in 3 goes to 1 and 2nd and 3rd go to 2?

Not crazy about 1 point for 10 yards either in fairness. I think the 1 point for 20 yards hurt people last year who's RB didn't get the goal line carries. 1 point for 10 gives RB's too many points.

I'd be thinking that 4 up, 4 down would be fair enough. 40% turnover is huge.

so if you make your playoffs, you get promoted. Finish in the bottom 4 on points, and you're gone.

I don't like the Div 3 to Div 1 and vice versa though. I think a straightforward 3-2-1 is better.

I agree with Iceman. You reward a position for doing their job with performance. A very good RB on average rushes for 85 yards per game. That is a lot of yards for getting a beating running between the offensive tackles (position).

The point system should reward top performances and punish poor performances. The one league I play in for $$ you can end up with negative points for the week.

The point system seemed very fair from last year, maybe a little too generous at times. I will review the whole point system later tonite and suggest tweaks.

Not every RB is like Arian Foster. 60 yards rushing is easily a more worthy effort than a 1yard rushing effort or a one yard reception for a TD. That is just the way it should be. If the rules remain 1 point for 20 yards rushing I will just draft the much more effective wide receivers first and leave the RBs until the later roundsn

Title: Re: NFL Fantasy Football - GAABoard Superbowl VII
Post by: DrinkingHarp on August 05, 2011, 04:34:13 AM
These would be the only changes I see that are needed:

All (passing, rushing, receiving, defensive* or return) TD's should have the same value of 6.

*A defensive player will get bonus pts for recover/Int so it should be just 6.

PAT miss should have a higher minus value (like -9 or -10) since it is pretty much a given point play.

30-39 yd FG miss -3

Keep the DLs but have an option to put a LB in their spot if possible on yahoo.


Otherwise it is set up pretty fair. You don't want to reward mediocre play.

Personally I'd be against, the status quo was good. I used to enjoy picking out matchups each week against weak offensive lines, or QB's who liked to hold on to the ball to the last second (Big Ben!).

That's the beauty of NFL, the roles are genuinely different and yet each one is crucial in it's own way. If there was a way of incorporating offensive line, I'd be for that too.


Four up and four down is fine - to be honest I was just thinking that it might encourage more people to get involved if you can fly up the rankings a bit quicker. I know I'd be frustrated if I was div 2 or 3 and it was harder to go up than to get to the Div 1 playoffs. Plus if I get relegated and say this next year, people will say it's only out of self interest... :)

Four up Four down it is. It's only a way to have a satisfactory way of deciding the champion that's driving this, and I think a hierarchy is the best way of doing that, each league has a champion.

The Divisions within the leagues are only for the purposes of mimicing the real deal, and a preference I have.

As for the DL, the reason I don't like it is that there are often people missing off the DL lists, and LBs are rolled in with DLs, which is unfair because it's a completely different position. Also a lot of LBs are not included. DB seems to have most if not all Safeties and Corners, which is why I like it, but I'm not pushed either way.  Can we get a last minute push for the leagues to join up lads, Dinny are you in? I'm going to be contacting ye shortly to get moving into your leagues, and finalising draft dates and overall rules.

I deleted the Tribesmen from the Payton but it says I need a league ID and password to join a new league (Montana)? I tried 305948 and cardinals but it says there is no room in the league. Presume teams still have to leave it to make space.

QuoteAll (passing, rushing, receiving, defensive* or return) TD's should have the same value of 6.

We had that at the start and the QBs had massive scores up.
The points have been modified down the years and are fairly close to been fair at the moment.

The obvious glich is the RBs and its very hard to deal with it.
Currently a 20yd TD run will get you virtually the same points as a guy who goes in from half a yard.
Buts it the same in soccer. The penalty taker will be worth more due to getting the "easy" shot.

Maybe if there was a way to credit the guy doing the hard work
For example if you gave 2bonus points if an RB has 20+ (or 25+) in the game.
It might soften the blow for the owners of guys who lose goal line carries.

As regards the DB and DL. I would be in favour and 1 X DL and 2 X DB and use the extra space for another receiving position like a W/T (WR or TE) which we previously had.
If there are only 12 teams per division there would be more than enough to fill the rosters.

Lets focus on filling the 3 leagues, and then we can tweak the scoring/rules if we want to. There are a couple of ideas I've seen that I think merit some discussion, but lets do one thing at a time.

Smackdown Clowns have signed up for the Superbowl League. Just need the Nuggets, Revis and Butthead, Red Hand Helmets and Corssmaglen Hitmen to slink off to their lesser leagues now, and the Shower of Tramps, New York Jets 5 and Hegan's Helmets to take their rightful place at the top table.

We'll move on to settling the 'B' championship then, but a lot of that will be done by this movement.

If there are only 12 teams per division there would be more than enough to fill the rosters.
Rossie, I understand your point on the QBs but how many are going to throw 3+ TDs a game? Maybe 4 in the league.

The RB who is a goal line scoring specialist will get 6 for the TD but only maybe another 3-6 points for yardage while a starter who scores 1 TD but has 100+ yards will have far more points. The one league I play in has it set if your RB does not rush for a min. of 80 yards he gets minus points and if he gets less than 2 catches minus points. That scoring rewards starters and punishes goal line vultures which makes sense although the way Yahoo is set up you can not do that.

If every TD is of equal points you still reward the workhorses by passing yardage, rushing yardage and receiving yardage. So it makes your draft decissions more important just like a real team. If I have the option of picking a stud QB or stud RB who do I choose? Well thats what makes it interesting, there are maybe 3-4 top tier QBs and maybe 4-7 top tier RBs. So I have to look at the possible scenarios playing out till my next pick (11picks later) will an above average player I need to fill out my roster be there or do I settle?
Last year at the high end New England averaged 31.7 pts per game and  the low end was Carolina at 12.pts per game with an NFL average of 21.95 pts per game. So a team should average 3 TDS per game. Thats why I feel ALL TDs should be of equal points. Where a Fantasy team scores their points from is the rushing, receiving and passing yardage based on your draft choices.

Jets V are now in the A league, side note on the relegation issue if its not to late. If you finish in the bottom two thats fine your gone but if you finish 3rd/4th last the coresponding team coming up should have more points than that team in order to get promoted.9 times out of ten probably this will be the case anyway. it wouldn't be fair if a team  scored say 1500 points got unlucky with match ups  got relegated & the team coming up only scored 1000.

OK, while we are waiting for Revis and Butthead (formerly Old Jack City) to clear out of the A championship, let's move onto the 'B' championship. Heganboy, you need to move your team to the 'A' Championship (305948)

According to Rankings from last year, this should contain


Rehab is 4 Quitters 1642.90
Crossmaglen Hitmen 1638.06
Craigyhill Terrors 1628.61
Captain Pats Vikings 1589.18
Faithful Turfmen 1584.13
Red Hand Helmets 1552.13
O'Neill's Chargers 1534.09
Ruthless Rossies 1513.06
The Royal Badgers 1503.01
Old Jack City (now Revis and Butthead) 1500.00


At the moment we have the following correctly there...

Crossmaglen Hitmen 1638.06
Craigyhill Terrors 1628.61
Captain Pats Vikings 1589.18
Faithful Turfmen 1584.13
O'Neill's Chargers 1534.09
Red Hand Helmets 1552.13
The Royal Badgers 1503.01
Ruthless Rossies 1513.06
Rehab is 4 Quitters 1642.90

Very good. 9/10 correct and in place.

The following are there and shouldn't be....
Hegan's Helmets needs to move to League ID 305948

The following are not here, and should be ......
Revis and Butthead (formerly Old Jack City)

Remember, the divisions are important in this game. No matter what league you are in, the playoff (and promotion) will be decided as follows.


2 Divisions of 5 teams in each.

The winner of each division qualifies for the playoffs. The division winner with the best win-loss record is seed #1, the other division winner is seed #2

seeds #3 and #4 are the wildcards, and are the two best losers (in win-loss) regardless of which division they come from.

Seeds #1,2,3 and 4 will be promoted for next year.

The playoffs will see #1 v #4. #2 v #3 in the semi.


This holds true for all Leagues.

I've an idea for 4 of the 6 divisions - name after the modern era players enshrined into the Hall of Fame this year. Richard Dent, Marshall Faulk, Deion Sanders and Shannon Sharpe. That's 4.

Throw in current commentators and former Superbowl MVP's Troy Aikman and Phil Simms just cos it came into my head reading a list of Superbowl MVP's and there you have it!

My 2 cents


Since we are the manager/coach the divisions should reflect that title.

A Championship     Vince Lombardi     George Halas  divisions   The two most famous coaches in the history of the league.

This would be the elite of the elite hence A championship



B Championship     John Madden       George Allen   divisions     The two coaches with most wins behind Lombardi.

Almost the best but not there yet makes the B championship.



C Championship     Bill Belichick           Andy Reid  divisions         The two active coaches with most wins.

The new guys on the block trying to make it to the show at the C championship .

If we are putting things up for a vote. Here are 2

1 point for a running back gaining 10 yards instead of 20 which is too difficult.

The size of the divisions. Should there be 8 10 12 or 14 teams in each division?

I think the 1 point for 20 yards rushing and receiving is good, it keeps better parity between Rbs, Wrs & Qbs. If you change it for the Rbs the you have to look at changing the 1 point for 50 yards passing also which would cause a lot of hassel.
Done a quick check and A Foster the top RB from last year would have almost double P Mannings score last year if it was 1 point for 10 yards and manning had 4700 yards + 33TDs a good year by all accounts...
Dont mind how many teams in each division. I suppose the number of entrants is going to determine it in the end...

As mentioned before 1pt for 10yards is too much.From the example above no way was Foster twice the worth of Manning last year.
I would be in favour for a few bonus pts for a high number of carries but giving RBs this extra value would mean your 1st 2 picks would have to be RBs.
That distorts the draft and isnt close to the reality of the players value
Title: Re: NFL Fantasy Football - GAABoard Superbowl VII
Post by: magpie seanie on August 13, 2011, 12:53:11 PM
It really is too much to give 1 point for 10 yards. You'd actually have to draft RB's with your first 3 picks if this came through.
Title: Re: NFL Fantasy Football - GAABoard Superbowl VII
Post by: mc_grens on August 13, 2011, 12:54:53 PM
I thought the scoring system last year was bang on. RB's are not madly valuable in the real game so they shouldn't be in our game- it's a passing league.

Also- any player based naming system for the divisions without including Jerry Rice is just wrong.

Hi AZ and lads.

I'm not online enough to follow all these polls. My main issue with deviating from yahoo standard scoring is that if you're not online the day of the draft then the team you get is picked on the basis of yahoo standard scoring and not any system we pick. Yes, i know all the players can be reranked. Ok I would vote for a w/r/t position

I have made one small change on all leagues as well. I've added a Roster Spot for IR. (Injury Reserve). Basically if on of your players is on IR, or goes on IR, you can put him in here so you don't take up a roster spot, but you don't have to get rid of him.

Generally speaking IR means you're gone anyway, but occasionally lads come off IR after the season starts.

That was my next question to ye :) Remember I have to do 3 drafts. Now with 10 teams it should be shorter than last year.

Our options are either Weekday (nights) Irish time, but that discommodes the American based lads who work, or else Weekends.

Given that there are 3 weekends between now and the launch of the season on 8th Sept, we have to get our house in order.

On the basis of my own availability (selfish I know), I would prefer three drafts on the following times.

This weekend - Sunday Evening (after the Football Semi Finals)

Next Weekend - Sunday Evening (after the Football Semi Finals)

Saturday 3rd September Evening OR Sunday 4th September Evening (after the hurling finals).

In fact, if it is Sunday evening, then the later the better. I'm talking Sunday game time. What do ye think?

I have made one small change on all leagues as well. I've added a Roster Spot for IR. (Injury Reserve). Basically if on of your players is on IR, or goes on IR, you can put him in here so you don't take up a roster spot, but you don't have to get rid of him.

You can only have people there who are on IR in real life. In the NFL IR is used for people who are injured. If you are put on IR you cannot come off it that season, so if one of your guys goes on IR he's gone. However, I think you can be on IR from a previous season, and come off it during the current season. That's the only reason you would pick up someone on IR.

Anything EXCEPT this weekend.  Given a choice, I'd go Sunday, Sept. 4. But, of course, I'm merely a newly formed Junior team yearning for the intoxicating heights of Intermediate status.

OK. How about as follows.


Walter Payton - This Sunday 9pm Irish Time (should be over by 10-10.30)

Jerry Rice - Sunday 28th 9pm.

Joe Montana Superbowl - Sunday September 4th 9.00 pm.

Fine by me anyway.

OK, It's 12-6 now. 18/30 is a decent quorum, so I'm calling this 'passed'.

I'm proposing that this be the final change, so unless you have anything you really want to get in, that's it.
Sorry i voted against after it was passed (read your post after), I don't feel strongly about it so don't mind my vote.

AZ could you post the order of the draft?
Who gets first pick etc?
Also if its a ten person draft if you get 1st pick do you then get the last pick in Rd 2 or how is it working?

What he said Iceman. Also, you are correct, it is a snake draft, so in a 10 team league if you are picking first you will be picking 1st, 20th, 21st, 40th, 41st etc etc

That was my next question to ye :) Remember I have to do 3 drafts. Now with 10 teams it should be shorter than last year.

Our options are either Weekday (nights) Irish time, but that discommodes the American based lads who work, or else Weekends.

Given that there are 3 weekends between now and the launch of the season on 8th Sept, we have to get our house in order.

On the basis of my own availability (selfish I know), I would prefer three drafts on the following times.

This weekend - Sunday Evening (after the Football Semi Finals)

Next Weekend - Sunday Evening (after the Football Semi Finals)

Saturday 3rd September Evening OR Sunday 4th September Evening (after the hurling finals).

In fact, if it is Sunday evening, then the later the better. I'm talking Sunday game time. What do ye think?

Definitely. Offaly SFC on Sunday evening AZ!

Just over three hours to go until the first draft. Chris Johnson is still holding out but for how long will that last? Ryan Williams the cardinals rookie running back is out for the year as is RB Mikkel Le Shoure of the Lions.

I might trade one. Schaub was the best player on the board at about pick 50 so I took him. A bit greedy but it will work out well for me having two elite QBs and Flacco. I don't know what the plan is I could even trade Rodgers and run with Schaub and Flacco.

I can't copy and paste on the phone. Drafting on the phone which blacks out at times  contributed to some strange draft choices.

10 team leagues make for good drafts. Everyone should feel they have a decent team at the end of it as well. Capt. Pat's Vikings would be some offense in real life. When you see Shiancoe going in the 19th round it shows you what a 10 team draft can do. That was the 187th pick. Last year I'd say Shiancoe went in the 6th or 7th round.

Missed 1st round and got AP in the default. Cant believe 8 RBs went in 1st round.
I wasnt going to pick one until the 3rd round at least.

After looking over all teams I don't see any one team running away with the title. One team maybe stacked at rb or wr but not qb, te or vice versa. The ten team limit is ideal in that every team is competitive and there are enough players to be picked up off of waivers due to injuries or suspension.

On a side note, based on this draft it does look like most owners have a grasp for players and their position needs compared to drafts from just a couple of years ago. Should make for a competitive and fun season as long as everyone participates.

Hitmen to win it all  ;)

AZ, 

On waiver wire pickups, I think it should be locked again like last year so those of us State side don't vulture the wire while your side is sleeping. Tuesday night at 6pm (Irish time) would be the best time after the Monday Night Game. This would give people stateside and people getting home from work time to hit the computer.

I'd agree with you almost totally. The only things I'm unhappy about are that I didn't get an elite QB (thought they went too early), and that I didn't get a quality backup for Gates (a TE will show up at some stage).

Why do you think that Mcgrens?
Last year top 10 points scorers were 5 X QB's 4 X WRs and 1 X RB
This year its projected that it will be similar  5 X QBs 3 X WRs and 2 X RBs
Great pick on Gates at 31 by the way. He is projected to be 14th overall.

I just didnt like the value that I was getting when x QB came to me. I think, without checking, that 30/31 when I picked  5 of the 6 elite QBs had gone, and I'm very wary of Manning's injury. Then I was getting ready to pick Shaub but he got snatched away by Capt Pat. Which was a surprise. I thought I was nailed on, as everyone had a QB by then and I'd rate Schaub 7th on my board and was getting him 11th or 10th among QBs.

I had planned to go for Ryan grant in pick 6 as I felt he'd drop to me there and I could strengthen WR and take a TE early, which is worth it if you can get Clark, Witten, or Gates. I'm happy with my receivers- Welker at pick 6 was a change since I didn't get Schaub, and represents great value in a PPR.

Then I was getting ready to pick Shaub but he got snatched away by Capt Pat. Which was a surprise. I thought I was nailed on, as everyone had a QB by then and I'd rate Schaub 7th on my board and was getting him 11th or 10th among QBs.

I had planned to go for Ryan grant in pick 6 as I felt he'd drop to me there and I could strengthen WR and take a TE early, which is worth it if you can get Clark, Witten, or Gates. I'm happy with my receivers- Welker at pick 6 was a change since I didn't get Schaub, and represents great value in a PPR.

Actually scratch that I remember now- I took Welker because he's a PPR beast (was really good for me last year except for the couple of weeks after Randy Moss got the boot when the Pats were trying to revamp their Offence). I felt I had to take him, and knew I was gambling that Roethlisberger or Schaub would drop to me. I think Matt Ryan was also on the board at that stage, and it looks like the Falcons are going to throw it more this year. I also quite like the two QBs I took as decent low round value. If Capt Pat hadn't picked up 3 QBs I'd have been ok.

When I saw I was picking 10/11 I knew I'd only take a QB there if Rodgers was still on the board as I don't like Vick from a health stand point- he gets killed at the end of every one of those rushes. I had decided that if the other top QBs had gone I'd wait and strengthen other positions instead.

Don't blame me McGrens I just took the best player after all the good running backs were gone. I play fair I even gave a warning before the draft about not drafting Ryan Williams and Mikkel Leshoure. You got Lesean McCoy and Ryan Grant who are a level above Beanie Wells and Ryan Torain who I ended up with

You still got the next best QB in Freeman who is still on the up. There will be little or no difference between him and Schaub. Orton should get better support from his team mates this year as well. You also got Gates who is a cut above all the other tight ends leaving me to take Findley. It is all a part of the  game.

PS that Giants cornerback Terell Thomas with all the fantasy points last year is gone on IR. No need for anybody to waste their waiver pick on him.

So the 2nd draft is on tomorrow . Juding by the comments after the 1st draft been able to participate in the draft seems to make it a lot more interesting than previous years when a lot of us just auto picked our players.  Intersting in the 1st draft the importance different teams placed on the defense and Kicker judging by the way they were picked.

Yep, 9pm Irish time. I need to make a call. Do I go on the lash watching the hurling, as is my tradition, or do I keep myself for the draft?

Title: Week 1
Post by: AZOffaly on September 05, 2011, 01:47:34 PM
Well, it's nearly upon us. NFL Week 1 starts on Thursday night with a great game between the last two superbowl champions as Drew Brees and his Saints travel to holders Green Bay Packers and Aaron Rogers. Make sure you have your teams set before then.

Remember our Waiver Wire rules. Newbies, pay attention. Anyone who has not been picked on a team in our league will automatically go on Waivers from the day of the first game of the week, until the following Tuesday. This means anyone who wants any of those players can put in a claim for them.

If your claim is successful (i.e. has the highest Waiver position) you will add that player when the window opens. The reason we have a window is to stop an unfair advantage for people who have access to a PC as the games go on and a starter gets injured or something.

Waiver Position is determined in inverse order to the draft order. If you are successful with a waiver claim, you will be put to the back of the queue for the next claim you make.

So, here we go. Best of luck to everyone. Any questions, let me know.....

Have to say I found that draft tough Sunday night. First pick means long waits and then two picks in a row which isn't as easy as it sounds. I was much better off last year when I hadn't much of a clue!

I was a bit disappointed immediately afterwards but on reflection I did ok. I suppose everyone has the feeling that they just missed out on one or two guys that would have nailed it for them. The 1.5 mins flew alright, nearly didn't get one of my picks off.

We'd draft teams this year and play as normal, probably with one or two IR slots in case your best player gets injured.

Then for next year we'd have agreed a number of players to keep before the draft. E.g if we agreed to keep 3 players. Each team keeps the 3 players they want to and we redraft the rest of our teams.

However, (taking my team from this year as an example) as payment for the players you keep you lose the draft pick that you used last year on them. So if I decided to keep McCoy, Freeman, and CJ Spiller (If Freeman continues to evolve and Spiller breaks out).

That would mean that next year I'd have no 1st, 8th, or 17th round picks, but potentially I'd have my starting QB and RB's sorted.

You can have all sorts of different options on how many players you keep, what the compensation would be, etc. I haven't checked the system out yet, but I'd imagine the ESPN/ yahoo systems replicate that.

The one thing is it's a multiple year thing that you'd be signing up to. I've a mate in the states who's been in the same league for 15 years!

I'm amused that you think a minute and a half flew.  Last night I drafted in an ESPN league with only 30 secs picking time.  Screwed up some of my selections big time.

Also, in our league, albeit the lowly "C" division, I picked up Aaron Rodgers with the 11th pick (1st QB to go), but last night he was first to go followed by Brees. In fact, 8 of the first 12 players to go were QBs.

Keeper leagues are fun if you have players worth keeping, but if you don't, it's like gawking at sweets without a penny to buy one.  I like the system as it is.  Nothing like a newbie (at least in this league) with an opinion.

Curious to see the differences between the Yahoo and ESPN leagues.

ESPN is gas with the autopicks as well. I was in an ESPN draft last night too, with 7 people out of 10 turning up. However, the 3 autopicks pick immediately in ESPN, there's no '30 second lad', so it was like Bang bang bang when they came up. You're head would be spinning trying to keep track of who was autopicked.

"He's going to throw for 5000 yards" is what you said anyway. You might not be far off on that though. My favourite was when you said - "watch this lads" just before your pick and then went for Ochocinco. Not a percentage play but the guy is talented and is teaming up with the best QB (certainly that is healthy) and coach in the league.

In a 10 team league, I always like picking 8,9 or 10. There's going to be plenty of good players to go around, and to have 2 excellent players there is ideal. The problem with picking 1st is you have 1,20,21,40. I'd prefer 10,11,30,31.

In a 14 team league, I'd prefer to be in the top 3 or 4.

Draft question. Or more likely, a daft question. I must be a complete galoot.

I and a couple of others drafted two defenses, but most others drafted only one.  Why is that?  What will happen when that team has a bye week?  Will they simply pick up another, and probably weaker, team off the waiver wire, or will they simply take the points hit that week?
Title: Re: NFL Fantasy Football - GAABoard Superbowl VII Week 1
Post by: The Iceman on September 06, 2011, 10:11:09 PM
Pick up a def on the waiver wire that week. Based on matchups a defense could score decent points but may not be consistent enough to be your regular defense.

Depends on how good your bench defense is. Maybe combined with another player or two you could use it in a trade with someone with a weaker D. I did a trade last year with 3 players, all about needs and wants. Good luck!

I picked Randy Moss in the first round last year and he caught a total of 28 passes for the season with 3 different teams! I was very competitive despite this so don't worry about picking up a second defense in the late rounds instead of a guy who might be a long shot anyway.

The free agents will be locked before tonights game so if you have a few injury worries for Sunday you will need to have their replacements ready on your bench.
Players in your lineup only lock into their position a few minutes before their own game kicks off...

Agree about the red zone. I actually saw a decent amount of the Cardinals game on it. Fecking Cardiac Cards again. Can't defend the pass to save their lives. Over 400 yards to a rookie QB! And then, in traditional Cardinal fashion, they have a 4th down stop as time expires, on their own 2 yard line!

Beanie looked good, as did Kolb. Last year the Cards lose that game by 30 points.

A lot of stat corrections are done on Monday usually where a forced fumble or a tackle was awarded to the wrong player. Thats the likely reason...

Got there in the end but got a good run for my money from the Shower of Tramps (that's turk isn't it?). This is going to be a dog eat dog league this season.

Am in 2 other leagues this year so suffered the same number of defeats this week as I did in my previous fantasy "career" to date! Very unlucky in both though!

AZ - think the ESPN draft room is first class but not sure the rest of it is better than Yahoo.

Question - made a bit of a boo boo picking up a Defense from a waiver wire (not our league). I dropped my starting tight end instead of the Defense I wanted to get rid of. I've immediately stuck in a waiver claim (I'm 4th on list). Question is - should I post this up on league forum and ask that no-one else pick him up or keep shctum and hope the guys with priority 1-3 don't go for him?

Do you know the lads?
On our league you'd be fine, but if it's a league with Yanks, you might just be drawing attention to yourself. How many in the league, how many TE slots? Unless it's a big name TE not many will pick him.

Its Owen Daniels so not soooooo big but don't want to lose him. Its a random league, no idea who the others are. Only one TE in play and I've just picked up Hernandez off the waiver wire so not the end of the world if someone gets Daniels ahead of me.

Probably best if I say nothing?

I'd probably check what TEs the lads have a look at their bench and gauge whether it is likely that they will pick him up. If so, I'd just post if on the board.

Two of them have top 3 guys and no backup on bench, the other has a top TE and a good backup. Think I'll say nothnig and hope for the best - its my own stupid fault if I get caught out.

Any reason why our waivers haven't processed?

And so the first week of the 7th year of GAA Board fantasy NFL is in the books, and I thought I'd take a different slant on it this year. Given the fact that we have 3 leagues, with the same players featuring in all the leagues, it would be very confusing to go down the route of a commentary on each game. Suffice to say the results were as follows

Joe Montana Superbowl Championship
Faithful Turfmen 'B' 162.74 – 111.23 Ballyhaise Bills
Galway Bay Tribesmen 146.10 – 120.89 Mayo Warriors
Coolera Bears 150.93 – 134.38 Shower of Tramps
L'Esprit de Biff 167.87 – 104.89 hegan's helmets
Smackdown Clowns 166.23 – 156.99 New York Jets V

Wins for the Turfmen, Tribesmen, Bears, Biffs and Clowns, with L'Esprit de Biff taking top scoring honours in a division where every team topped the ton. Game of the week must be the Clowns beating the Jets 166.23 to 156.99.


Walter Payton 'B' Championship
Faithful Turfmen 154.64 – 135.43 Revis and Butthead
Ruthless Rossies 152.29 – 115.98 Crossmaglen Hitmen
Capt Pat's Vikings 142.69 – 148.71 Red Hand Helmets
Rehab is 4 Quitters 97.05 – 120.94 Craigyhill Terrors
Royal Badgers 158.40 – 130.19 O'Neill's Chargers

More high scoring in the 'B' Championship as the Badgers top scored with 158.40, while the Vikings and Helmets fought out a titanic tussle with just 6 points separating them at the end. The Turfmen, Rossies and Terrors will also be happy to start 1-0.


Jerry Rice 'C' Championship
Faithful Turfmen 'C' 130.70 – 104.88 Superdubs
Derry No Clues 111.96 – 103.84 Uibh Fhailians
Puppet Master 141.58 – 98.25 Curragh Rams
Oraisteach's Browns 179.67 – 119.29 Big apple Orchards
North Antrim Nuggets 111.55 – 137.82 Savage Bears

The Turfmen 'C' made it 3 from 3 for the Turfmen stable, while the No Clues, Puppet Master and Bears all claimed victories in the third tier. Pride of place, however, must go to the Browns, managed by Oraisteach, who tallied 179.67 points, the best score among all 30 teams.

In terms of a rundown, I thought I'd give a real life reprise of the games, mentioning the big Fantasy hitters and that might be more informative in general to all users.

So, here goes.

On Thursday the Packers outlasted the Saints in a thriller to get the season up and running, as Aaron Rogers and Drew Brees had a ding dong battle in a 42-34 victory for the Superbowl Champs. Rogers passed for 312 yards and 3 scores, while Brees actually outdid him in the stats department with 419 yards and 3 TD passes.  The rushing games were sedentary enough with rookie Mark Ingram the Saints top yardage man with 40, while James Starks from Green Bay was the day's top rusher with a modest  57 yards. With such high passing yardage, there were a few good receiving days, including Greg Jennings, Jordy Nelson, Marques Colston and top of the bunch Devery Henderson with 100 yards and a touchdown on 6 receptions.

The roundup of Sunday's slate of games begins in Baltimore, Maryland, where the Ravens absolutely destroyed Big Ben and the AFC Champion Steelers on a scoreline of 35-7. 7 turnovers in one game is unheard of in the NFL, and when it's such a team as the Steelers, then eyebrows are raised even more. Perhaps rumours of the Ravens' defensive demise were exaggerated, and Fantasy owners were feeling smug if they started the birds. Speaking of smug owners, the managers who own Ray Rice will be happy as the Raven's top man rushed for 107 yards on 19 attempts and a TD, as well as another TD reception and 42 yards on 4 catches. If Rice was the player of the game, Joe Flacco pushed him close with 3 TD passes and 224 yards, while Anquin Boldin looked sharp early, even though he faded as the game went on, and finished with 74 yards and a TD on 4 receptions. For the Steelers, Roethlisberger had the proverbial nightmare with 3 interceptions and 2 fumbles, but he did manage 280 yards to the right jerseys and a TD.  Rashard Mendenhall didn't produce as owners would have hoped with only 45 yards on 12 carries as the Steelers had to abandon the run. Mike Wallace had a promising game with 107  yards on 8 receptions, but again the Steelers were throwing more than they will normally.

The first battle of Ohio saw the Bengals overcome the Browns and Colt McCoy in a tight struggle, thanks largely to recently incarcerated running back Cedric Benson, who took advantage of his new freedom to run for 121 yards and a touchdown.  Colt McCoy was the top QB on show with 213 yards and 2 TDs, but the Texas Alum had less than 50% completion percentage, which will not do the job in the NFL. There were no outstanding receiving performances on the day, with Mohammad Massaquoi the best of a mediocre bunch with 3 for 77.

Not a million miles away from Ohio, it was a case of Oh-oh in Indianapolis as the Colts had a glimpse of what a season without Peyton Manning might look like. The Houston Texans strolled into town and obliterated back up QB Kerry Collins and the Colts by 34 points to 7 in a big early season AFC South showdown. Matt Schaub was an efficient 17 of 24 for 220 yards and a TD, but he didn't need to be much more.  The Texans made light of Arian Foster's absence as  backup Ben Tate torched the Colts 'D' for 116 yards and a TD, while big time receiver Andre Johnson chipped in with 7 receptions and a TD to go with his 95 yards. The Texans may just be ready to take the mantle from the Colts in the AFC South, even if Manning returns. For the Colts, Reggie Wayne did his bit with 106 yards and a TD receiving, and Kerry Collins wasn't horrible, with 197 yards and a TD, but he wasn't, well, Peyton Manning. The ground game was tepid, with Joseph Addai the best of a poor showing with 39 yards.

Also in the AFC South, a close and tight game went the way of the home town Jacksonville Jaguars, despite dispensing with the services of David Garrard just a few days before the opener, as they beat the Tennessee Titans 16-14. This was a matchup between two of the top running backs in the league, and Maurice Jones-Drew outshone the top paid back in the league, Chris Johnson, with 97 yards and a score, while Johnson was held to 24 yards on the ground. Kenny Britt, of the Titans, was the big receiving story in the game as he hauled in 136 yards worth of passes on 5 catches, 2 for TDs. Those 2 TDs were Matt Hasselbacks only 2 TD tosses in the game, but he also had 263 yards in a solid debut for the Titans. Luke McCown did just enough to get the win, but he won't be having fantasy owners reaching for the waiver wire.

One of the shocks of the day took place in Kansas City, Missouri, as the Chiefs were rocked 41-7 at Arrowhead by the Buffalo Bills of all teams. Ryan Fitzpatrick had a stellar day with 4 TD passes off only 208 yards , while Fred Jackson racked up 112 yards on the ground. Steve Johnson and David Nelson each had 4 catches for 66 yards, which is about as balanced a 1-2 receiving threat as you can get.  As might be expected, the Chiefs were a ghost town for fantasy points, with Matt Cassel having 119 yards and 1 TD pass, while their best rusher had 56 yards, and the best receiver had 26 yards. Enough said.

Meanwhile, up in the Windy City, the Chicago Bears had an impressive victory over one of the fancied pre-season teams in the Atlanta Falcons. The Bears prevailed 30 points to 12, and managed to keep the Falcons danger men out of the endzone, and the fantasy reckoning as well. Michael Turner did have 100 yards, and Matt Ryan passed for 319 yards but had an INT and a fumble, while Roddy White had 8 catches for 61 yards, but none made the endzone.  Jay Cutler got the better of the QB Battle with 312 yards and 2 TDs, although the Falcons only TD came from a pick 6 Cutler threw. Matt Forte looked more like himself with 158 all purpose yards, including 90 receiving, and a TD.  Brian Urlacher was the defensive player of the game with a fumble recovery for a TD, and an interception, as well  as 6 tackles.

In Tampa Bay, the Detroit Lions served notice that they may indeed be a force even though they are in a competitive division as they came away with a 27-20 victory. Matthew Stafford is a big factor for the Lions at QB, and if he can stay injury free his 305 yards and 3 TDs show what a weapon he can be. Of course he has weapons to aim at, and Calvin Johnson hauled in 2 TDs from Stafford. Jahvid Best had 72 yards on the ground on 21 carries, and has the potential to be more productive in fantasy terms as well, as has TE Brandon Pettigrew. For Tampa, Josh Freeman was dinged up, but managed to return to the game and accrue 259 yards and a passing TD, but when he is also the Buccs top rusher with 26, you can see the problems they had. Kellen Winslow and Earnest Graham had decent receiving games but Winslow is a Tight End, and Graham is a Running Back. Mike Williams did receive a TD pass, but with only 50 yards, the receiving corps are going to have to step it up better than that.

In Saint Louis, the Rams provided staunch opposition to the 'dream team' Eagles, but at the end of the day Philly were able to prevail 31-13. Worryingly for Rams fans, and fantasy owners, Sam Bradford left the game in the 4th for X-Rays on a finger injury. He hadn't lit up the game in any case, with 17/30 for 188 yards, and no TDs. Steven Jackson may be a bigger worry for fantasy owners. He looked great in 2 carries early on, racking up 56 yards including a 47 yard score, but pulled a play later with a suspected thigh injury. He left the game, and must be a worry for future games. Veteran Cadillac Williams took over and had 91 yards, so he may be a viable handcuff option for Jackson owners. Michael Vick, the preseason MVP favourite in many peoples eyes had an ok day with the arm, 14 of 32 for 187 yards and 2 TDs, but his running was again a huge weapon as had 97 on the ground. LeSean McCoy took up where he left off last year with 122 yards and a TD on the ground, while DeSean Jackson also hit the high notes with 102 yards and a receiving TD.

Up in the capital, the Washington Redskins had a great win over the New York Giants, 28-14, and a man that will feature in very few 10 team leagues, Rex Grossman, was the star of the show. The Redskins QB threw for 305 yards and 2 scores against the Giants Defense, while Timmy Hightower validated his good preseason form with 72 yards rushing and a TD, as well as 25 yards receiving. Grossman's favourite target was Santana Moss, with 6 receptions, but Tight End Fred Davis had 105 yards receiving on just 5 catches. For the Giants, it was a disappointing start to the season, and Eli Manning didn't manage to find the endzone with 268 yards and a pick thrown in for good measure. The much heralded running attack never really motored either, with a combined 73 yards for Ahmad Bradshaw and Brandon Jacobs, although Bradshaw did hit paydirt. Hakeem Nicks did give his owners some hope though, with 7 receptions for 122 yards total, but nothing in the endzone.

Out in the desert, the Arizona Cardinals hung on in a crazy game as Can Newton, the Panthers QB, blew away all sorts of records in his rookie debut. 422 yards and 2 TDs may say more about the Cardinals secondary and pass rush than it does about Cam, but it was some performance for a debutant, and didn't deserve to end on the losing side. Steve Smith, the evergreen receiver, dispelled doubts about his conditioning with 2 TD catches and 178 receiving yards in total. Greg Olsen, the TE also had 78 yards from Newton. With all those balls flying around the air, it was no wonder that DeAngelo Williams (30 yards) and Jonathan Stewart (26 yards) were quiet enough.  The Cardinals only hung on thanks to a 4th down stop on their own 2 yard line to preserve a 28-21 win, but Kevin Kolb and Beanie Wells will have encouraged their fantasy owners. Kolb was 18/27 for 309 yards and 2 TDs, while Wells gained 90 yards on the ground and had a rushing TD as well. Early Doucet reappeared on the fantasy radar with 105 yards and a TD off 3 receptions, while Larry Fitz had just 3 catches for 62. Of course if Doucet, King, Heap and Roberts keep making plays, defences may give Larry a bit more space as well.

In an NFC West showdown in the city by the bay, the 49ers had a great win over the Seahawks, largely thanks to special teams, and particularly Ted Ginn Jr, as the former Ohio State Buckeye had a 102 yard kickoff return and a 55 yard punt return for touchdowns. Alex Smith at QB had a slow start with 124 yards passing and won't be on many 10 team rosters, but  he didn't make many mistakes either.  Frank Gore had a decent, but not great, 59 yards on the ground, while Vernon Davis the TE was the most productive receiver with 47 yards on 5 catches. For Seattle, Tavaris Jackson was as advertised, as feared, and while he had 197 yards and 2 TDs, he also had an interception and 2 lost fumbles. Stanford Rookie Doug Baldwin was a surprising receiving leader across both teams with 83 yards and a TD, and it will be interesting to see if this is the start of a good career for him.  Big Mike Williams had 4 catches also, but for only 34 yards.

Down the coast in lovely San Diego, the Chargers overcame a shocking start, and a dodgy first half in general to get by the Vikings 24-17. Percy Harvin took the opening kickoff 103 yards to the house, to start off on a savage note, but while the Vikings had some success on the ground, Adrian Peterson had 98 yards on 16 carries, Donovan McNabb had a very strange day, and one that won't have Fantasy owners worrying about their waiver position. McNabb's line read 7 of 15 for 39 yards (!), 1 TD and 1 INT.  Obviously in such a scenario it'll be hard for receivers to shine, even though Michael  Jenkins caught the TD.  For San Diego, Philip Rivers had a so-so day, but he showed the potential he has on a high powered passing offense. He had 2 INTs, but added 335 yards and 2 scoring passes as well. Mike Tolbert, splitting time with Ryan Matthews at running back in San Diego had a great scoring day as a receiver and a rusher, without a pile of yardage. He found himself in the endzone 3 times, once rushing and also twice as the recipient of those Rivers passes. Antonio Gates was Rivers favourite receiver, apart from check downs to Tolbert, with 8 receptions for 74 yards, while Vincent Jackson owners will be slightly worried about a 2 for 31 yard day.

Sunday night saw 'America's team' travel to play the feisty Jets and Jerry Jones will certainly see this as a game thrown away as Tony Romo and the Cowboys had one of those 4th quarters that make people question their right to be called contenders. Nick Folk's kick won the game for the Jets, but Tony Romo's pick moments before was the critical moment, as Revis Island claimed another victim. Mind you, a blocked Matt Briar punt that was returned for a TD by the Jets special teams 5 minutes earlier was just as important in the larger picture. Romo also fumbled, unluckily, as he was trying to eke out some more yardage. In fantasy terms, Romo was ok, despite the turnovers as he had 342 yards and 2 TDs, while Jason Witten and Miles Austin were productive receivers. Felix Jones had 44 yards and a TD on the ground as well. Mark Sanchez, or Sanchise as the press call this 'Franchise' player, was encouraging in his opening game of just his third season as he had 335 yards and 2 TDs, as well as an INT himself. He spread the ball around too, which is a good sign for the Jets, if not great for fantasy owners, as Tomlinson caught 6 for 73, Plexico avoided shooting himself in the arse to get 4 for 72 and a TD, Santonio Holmes had 6 for 70 and Dustin Keller had 5 for 61 and the other TD. The Jets' ground game was worrying for fantasy owners, and Shonn Greene's 10 for 26 yards will not do at all.

Monday night's first game saw one of the all time Fantasy points feasts, especially through the air, as the Miami Dolphins fell 38-24 to the New England Patriots. The Patriots, and Tom Brady looked awesome, but Chad Ochocinco was not a big factor at all, which is slightly worrying for his owners. Wes Welker was outstanding, but in general commentary is superfluous. Just look at the lines, and you'll see why a lot of fantasy ties had dramatic late swings with totals like this.
Passing- Brady 32/48 – 517 yards – 4TDs – 1 INT; Henne 30/49 - 416 yards – 2 TDs, 1 INT.
Receiving – Welker 8-160, 2TD; Hernandez 7-103 1TD; Branch 7-93; Gronkowski 6-86 1 TD
                  Marshall 7-139; Bess 5-92; Fasano 5-82; Bush 9-56 1TD; Hartline 4-47 1TD.
Yep, that's 62 completions combined, 97 passing attempts, 933 passing yards and 6 passing touchdowns. Incredible stuff. Not surprisingly, the running backs didn't have much to do with things, but Danny Woodhead did manage 69 yards with his legs, while Chad Henne actually had 59 yards and a TD on the ground as well.

The last game of the weekend was a more sedate affair in fantasy terms, unsurprisingly, but it still featured a record tying performance as Sebastian Janikowski, the Raiders kicker, took advantage of the thin air in Denver to kick a 63 yard field goal to help beat the Broncos 23-20. Kyle Orton had the Te-boo boys after him in the first half, but finished with a respectable 304 yards 1 TD and 1 INT. HE is certainly a better option than Tim Tebow at the moment, and fantasy owners must be hoping the Broncos don't do something stupid there. Jason Campbell, in a win, was very ordinary. 105 yards and a TD with no INTs is just about serviceable in this league, but you need other players to lift the team if you are to win, and you could say Darren McFadden's 150 yards on the ground was just what they needed. McFadden didn't find the endzone, but Campbell himself did on a QB keeper. The Broncos were more productive through the air, and Brandon Lloyd had a decent 8 for 89 showing, but they featured 9 different pass catchers, which took away from any one being dominant. Knowshon Moreno was a huge disappointment, with 8 carries for just 22 yards, and fantasy owners will need to keep an eye on that to make sure Denver don't lose faith with the 3rd year starter.

Vincent Jackson owners shouldn't be too worried... Rivers just missed him in a 60 yard bomb on an outside/ inside post route that would've been a sure TD. More often than not they connect on that.

Aye but even if he caught it it would have been 3 catches. I´d expect 5 or 6 per game from him with Rivers throwing.

Apparently the Vikings were fixated on stopping Jackson so kept rolling coverage his way. Meanwhile Rivers kept dumping the ball off to Tolbert and Gates instead with Tolbert ending up having a career day because of it.

Vincent Jackson owners shouldn't be too worried... Rivers just missed him in a 60 yard bomb on an outside/ inside post route that would've been a sure TD. More often than not they connect on that.

Aye but even if he caught it it would have been 3 catches. I´d expect 5 or 6 per game from him with Rivers throwing.

Yep, but that may be a theme is what I´d be afraid of. I suppose if Gates and co can hurt the opposition, then coverage on Jackson might ease a little. It´s great for the Chargers, not great for his owners :)

True although I don't think every team they play is going to play two safeties deep just to try and stop Jackson. All it did was leave huge space for Tolbert and Gates to abuse.

You were right. Instead of going over the top with both safeties the Pats used Pat Chung in coverage on Gates. Worked a treat too. VJ ended up with a decent game.

O = Out for that week
P = Probable to play that week
Q = Questionable to play that week
D = Doubtful to play that week

IR = He's fooked and on Injured Reserve

All official designations by the way, not made up fantasy stuff. The teams have to submit injury reports every day.

Small point, but not anymore. The teams no longer have to give designations until the Friday. Up until then they only have to give info on what part the player took in practice... E.g.

Did not practice
Was limited in practice

I don't know how yahoo work this during the week now. They could just not update it at all until Friday, or perhaps they make educated guesses. I find Stephania Bell on ESPN.com a good source for keeping abreast with injuries.

So this is my thinking on the 10 man league. Most people have solid teams and the smarter picks from waiver wires and trades dont necessarily have the same impact because people's rosters are already so deep.
I lost Foster and Manning (should be close to 40 points a week) and I don't see any light at the end of the tunnel. Nearly ruined my season. I need a RB but have nothing to trade with......

You're kinda right... The challenge in a ten man league is that it forces you to make decisions between lads. Like this week I chose Cadillac Williams at flex over Devery Henderson, whereas in say a 16 team league my choice probably wouldve been much simpler, maybe Henderson over Jordan Shipley or Eric Decker.

Also FAO The Claw. Just saw your trade now. I'll have a think.

Don't be playing the poor mouth. Who's your starting QB at the moment? Mark Sanchez, and Cam Newton on the bench :D And you also have Tate, who is the Foster 'handcuff' and has started with 2 100+ yard games :)

It is tough alright, but it's good. I lost twice this week by a combined total of less than 7 points :D And the one I won I won by 6.91 points. In fact my 'Points difference' for the week on my combined teams was +1.27!!

And in one of the games I lost my TE, Greg Olsen from Carolina, had a TD catch waved off for a penalty, and the TD went to the other TE on the next play. Vonkers.

I was worried heading into last night as there was a chance Nicks and Tuck mightn't play. I was toying with playing safe all week and putting Fred Jackson in at flex instead of Nicks and was crapping myself that I'd fooked it up!

Can anyone explain how I went from number 1 to number 10 on the waiver wire over the weekend seeing as I haven't put in a single waiver claim yet? Surely you have to actually put in a waiver claim before you are sent to the back of the pack again?

Or am I thinking that it's now done by overall points total?

Tate isn't Foster and hopefully Foster is well enough rested and comes back 100%, my problem is that I have started off bad and it will be difficult to pull it back. Like I said about last year, with 14 teams there was a chance of a trade and some smarter pickups.....

I think we might see a 300+ point score this year. A ten team league has prime starters in every position for most teams, the waiver wire still has plenty players which can help any team compared to the larger leagues of the past years.

Thats what i would have thought Turk however there are not that many quality players available, Some teams have very strong benches don'tt hink there is as much trading as other years . Tis early days yet but i'm going for a galway sligo final in our league

With only 10 teams per league most people were able to pick up 4-5 solid players that last year would have been 2-3. Waiver Wire pickups could have been made on players that might grab 10 points here or there but 10 points isn't going to do you any good when teams are throwing up 200 +
People are less open to trades because they already have a strong bench.
I was just unlucky to have Foster and Manning on the same team. These next few weeks will knock a few people out with a lot of injuries that normally occur in the preseason. Might open it up a bit....

Iceman, methinks you're overdoing the complaining here. 150 points would have won three out of the five division one games, and you have thirteen slots to fill. Getting ten points out of a waiver wire pick up is very useful, when you still have a few frontliners capable of contributing more.

All that said, I still prefer to see more players starting for this very reason, to dilute the importance of the top 3 or 4 players on each roster and give more weight to good analysis of either/or situations. I can't remember the last time a player like Tom Brady, Ray Rice, Aaron Rodgers or Andre Johnson got traded, so the top draft picks seem to just get picked and sit.

All ye who voted to get rid of an extra DL should go to the back of the class and think about what ye've done...  :D

Things take a wrinkle here now as we head into the bye week portion of the season. It becomes less about picking matchups and more about skillful use of the waiver wire as well as availability and backups in your roster. This is where the draft gets tested :D

If the season ended today, the Playoffs in the Superbowl would see the top ranked Smackdown Clowns face off against the #4 L'Esprit de Biff while the #2 Faithful Turfmen 'B' would be facing the GalwayBay Tribesmen in a repeat of last weekends tussle. The Helmets, Bills, Tramps and Warriors would be facing the drop.

In the 'B' division, the promoted teams and playoff hopefuls would be Craigyhill Terrors, Ruthless Rossies, Red Hand Helmets and Revis and Butthead, while O'Neill's Chargers, Rehab is 4 Quitters, Captain Pat's Vikings and the Crossmaglen Hitmen would be plying their trade in 'C' next year.

The Jerry Rice Championship would be between the Oraisteach's Browns, puppet master, Savage Bears and North Antrim Nuggets, and these 4 would be looking at promotion to the 'B' division.

Something i noticed in the scoring that i think should be changed for next year, its very minor though. A blocked kick is only worth 2 points to the player that blocked it, think this should be 4 points, the same as a forced fumble as the result of both is a loose ball...
As i said its very minor but it could cost someone in a close matchup...

Good point Declan. I think the reason is that this was always a 'team' stat rather than an individual one, and so when they added it I must have missed it. I would normally give more points for a named person making those plays rather than the 'team'.

Of course I could have missed it from Day 1 (7 years ago) but I'm not sure it was there then.

Ballyhaise Bills fairly made up for me taking guys ahead of him in the draft with this weeks waiver wire. Totally screwed me over.

I've some decent RB cover on my bench especially Michael Bush who will be a top 6 RB when Run DMC gets injured but I need help at WR/TE. Anyone got any proposal for me?

I have made one small change on all leagues as well. I've added a Roster Spot for IR. (Injury Reserve). Basically if on of your players is on IR, or goes on IR, you can put him in here so you don't take up a roster spot, but you don't have to get rid of him.

Generally speaking IR means you're gone anyway, but occasionally lads come off IR after the season starts.

i can't find this roster spot at all  :-[

It's actually pointless for our leagues anyway because it's not a keeper league, as I realised belatedly. What you can do is select the guy you want to move, and you'll see a new blank spot open up.

Does anybody give a read to the Fantasy message boards on the Yahoo fantasy football homepage? I read one yesterday evening where in a ten team league over half of the league voted to change the scoring settings, so after drafting & playing 5 weeks the commissioner changed all the settings. Some guy went from 4-1 to 1-4. The commissioner went from 1-4 to 5-0...
They had all paid $30 each into the league...
Good thing our commish is the bees knees :D :D

They were doing something like a point per yard for rushing & receiving to give the guy with the carries the edge over the goal line back, dont know what a TD was worth. A point per two yards passing. Changed that to a point per 20yards for both...

I expected to be able to say yes, seeing as you are 5-0, but there really isn't anyone there that would be jumping out at me. I'm looking at Mike Williams, Mike Thomas, Deion Branch and Nate Washington as my four - while I'd like to upgrade that, I don't think any of yours really is an improvement, other than Larry Mac G of course. And for obvious reasons, I'm not expecting him to be up for grabs!

i would have expected more from Brandon Lloyd, but until we see what kind of QB Tim Tebow is going to be, it would be a huge punt.

I've been scoring well until this week, but the core lads are Brady and Forte really. If Fitz and Arian Foster pick up the pace I should be in a good position, but my receivers are of the solid 10 point a game type, rather than the 20+ point monsters.

Quick question Az.

It occurred to me over the weekend that you're unlikely to be relegated from Div.1, and you're currently in a top 4 position in Div. 2. What happens if you get promoted. You can't do a Berlusconi and own two teams in 1 division!

Will the 5th placed team go up, or will 4th from bottom get a repreive?

I think I need to have one team in each division as commisioner. So if I get promoted, I'll just stay and let team 5 go up. That was my thinking anyway. If I get relegated, which is not unlikely :) I'm not sure what to do. Obviously team 1-4 need to come up, but do I send down team 6?

Yeah that's what I thought. I just thought it'd be best to bring it up now and lay down what would happen so that nobody would be put out in the event of it happening. I'm totally comfortable with what you're proposing.

Like yourself I'm hoping to see some fireworks from Hester so hope his injury isn't going to stop him playing. I'm going over and have a ticket already. Both teams badly need a win.

Fairly pee'ed off with this fantasy malarkey. After a shaky week and a player I dropped awaking from his torpor against me I was still comfortably ahead when I checked this morning with only Plaxico Burress to come for my opponent. Somehow between that and me arriving in work he got 10 more points so now I need Burress to do nothing tonight or I'm 3-3 (with same points scored a the guy going to 6-0!!!!). Only lost 2 games the whole of last season and next week is going to be verrrrry ugly for me - 8, that's right, 8 of this weeks starters on bye next week!

Results and Standings after Week 6

GAA Board Superbowl - Montana Championship

Faithful Turfmen B      111.03    mayo warriors   92.89

Galway Bay Tribesmen    148.79    hegan's helmets  155.64

Coolera Bears    118.59    New York Jets V  115.84

L'Esprit de Biff    129.33    Smackdown Clowns     138.76

Shower of Tramps    102.96    Ballyhaise Bills        118.01

Faithful Turfmen B scrape another low-scoring, lucky win over the luckless warriors who fall to 1-5. Great game, especially in a bye week between the Tribesmen and the Helmets sees the Helmets take a great scalp for their first win of the season. Despite Seanie's fears, Plexico Burress did indeed do very little, and so the Coolera Bears held on in a close one against the New York Jets V. Another good high scoring game saw the unbeaten Smackdown Clowns edge out L'Esprit de Biff while the last game provided another first win, this time for the Bills as they saw off the Tramps. All of this means there is no winless team in the league, and the standings are as follows.

Vince Lombardi Division


2.    Faithful Turfmen B    6-0-0    1.000    4-0-0    818.01    644.79    W-6    9    4
4.    Coolera Bears    4-2-0    .667    2-1-0    804.79    799.33    W-1    7    20
7.    mayo warriors    1-5-0    .167    1-2-0    789.70    833.00    L-3    4    9
8.    Ballyhaise Bills    1-5-0    .167    1-2-0    697.73    819.85    W-1    3    14
9.    Shower of Tramps    1-5-0    .167    0-3-0    689.07    791.04    L-1    2    13

George Halas Division
1.    Smackdown Clowns    6-0-0    1.000    3-0-0    891.04    770.36    W-6    10    15
3.    Galway Bay Tribesmen    4-2-0    .667    2-1-0    977.36    844.11    L-1    8    17
5.    L'Esprit de Biff    3-3-0    .500    1-2-0    819.02    817.52    L-2    6    8
6.    New York Jets V    3-3-0    .500    1-2-0    813.49    790.07    L-1    5    15
10.    hegan's helmets    1-5-0    .167    1-3-0    664.41    854.55    W-1    1    8

The Smackdown Clowns are the #1 seed and sit atop the Halas division on 6-0 while fellow unbeaten Faithful Turfmen claim #2 as first place in the Lombardi Division. The two wildcards at the moment are #3 Galway Bay Tribesmen, and #4 Coolera Bears. With 8 games left, a lot can still happen, but the 4 1-5 teams will need some recovery to get back into Wildcard Contention. #10 Hegan's Helmets, #9 Shower of Tramps, #8 Ballyhaise Bills and #7 mayo warriors occupy the drop zone at the moment.

Craigyhill Terrors  91.69 Revis and Butthead 135.88

Faithful Turfmen will be having a nervous look for stat corrections this week as at the moment they are declared winners over the Hitmen by just over 1 point in a great scrap. The Red Hand Helmets had a big score, and a great win over the Rossies, while Capt Pat's Vikings struggled in a heavy loss to the Badgers.

Feck's sake. Went to bed with a 60 point lead last night and awoke this morning to see I'd lost. The Jets D, Revis and Marshall put up 65 odd points overnight. Unbelievable. I wasn't even worried about being overhauled. I even remember thinking yesterday it would take a couple of Revis interceptions and him running one back for a TD to have any chance of being caught and the bollocks did exactly that in the first quarter. Absolutely sick especially with half my team on a bye next week. Way out in front on points scored and I'm only 3-2. Soon to be 3-3.

Have learned never to count the chickens until all players are finished. A superman performance from Jared Allen on a Monday night last year i think clawed back a 35point deficit against me. Still having nightmares :(

For all those having tough years i started 3-5 last year before winning all the way to the title. My whole team hit form together...

Plax buress is indeed a bolax & soon to be dropped,he couldn't manage four points for the W......is it going to be automatically four up four down Az or will you put it to vote whether if the 4th last in the top league has more points than the fourth place finisher in the bottom league he gets to stay up or maybe even a playoff against the bottom 2 in A & 3rd 4th finishers in B etc, i know they wouldn't be able to match up directly but both teams could set their line ups for it might be more interesting.....not that i'm worried about relegation(cough)

Never ever ever use auto draft in this league, Not only is my starting team shite, but because of the depth of the league and the roster size, there's not a free agent out there, and who the hell wants to trade for shite. Brutal, I look forward to the Junior B league next year

At least the relegation battle will keep things interesting.

Well i just about hung on to get my 2nd win despite an inspired pick up of Detroit by the jets who got 43 points. Only for Ray Rice and his 3 tds i was well and truly fcuked.

I got 40 points from 2 free agents this week. I think they're there alright- a ten team league isn't deep at all. Yes our rosters are big, but remember 3 slots are for idp's only.

Squeaky bum time this week.  I'm less than two points up with a wide receiver to play tonight for Philly.  My opponent has only his team defense to score him points.  That team is Philly! Don't even know what I need to bring me through this one.  Philly to let in a bag full with my man to get a few, or a nil nil draw so things stay as they are. AAAAGGGGHHHH!!

9 weeks down, 5 to go in the regular season, and things are hotting up in the GAA Board Fantasy NFL.

In the Montana Conference, the 8-1 Faithful Turfmen 'B' find themselves in the number 1 seeding at the moment, despite having the 4th best points tally. Some big games upcoming in the next couple of weeks might scupper them yet, and there is a great race brewing behind as teams 2,3,4 and 5 are seperated by 1 game at the moment. In the relegation zone, we have 4 teams on 2-7 and one team on 3-6, so there'll be a race to the finish down there too...

Vince Lombardi Division

1.    Faithful Turfmen B    8-1-0    .889    4-1-0    1194.39    922.78    W-1    6    8
3.    Coolera Bears    7-2-0    .778    4-1-0    1184.99    1142.25    W-4    5    30
7.    mayo warriors    2-7-0    .222    1-3-0    1141.60    1224.17    L-1    7    16
8.    Shower of Tramps    2-7-0    .222    1-4-0    1077.81    1184.24    L-2    3    18
9.    Ballyhaise Bills    2-7-0    .222    2-3-0    1014.01    1194.13    L-1    2    21

George Halas Division
2.    Smackdown Clowns    7-2-0    .778    4-1-0    1277.76    1097.10    L-2    10    31
4.    Galway Bay Tribesmen    6-3-0    .667    3-2-0    1395.04    1218.31    W-2    9    34
5.    L'Esprit de Biff    6-3-0    .667    3-2-0    1213.81    1122.25    W-3    4    14
6.    New York Jets V    3-6-0    .333    1-3-0    1158.77    1207.63    L-4    8    36
10.    hegan's helmets    2-7-0    .222    1-4-0    916.82    1262.14    W-1    1    9


Week 10 Fixtures
    Faithful Turfmen B -v-    Smackdown Clowns
    Galway Bay Tribesmen -v- Shower of Tramps
    Coolera Bears -v- L'Esprit de Biff
    New York Jets V -v- mayo warriors
    hegan's helmets -v- Ballyhaise Bills


In the Payton Championship, The top 4 have a little more separation, as 4th place has a 2 game lead over the 5th position, but the Rossies won't be giving up just yet, particularly as they face off in Week 10. On the bottom end, there's a huge scrum with 6 teams (including the aforementioned Rossies) are seperated by just 2 games.

John Madden Division

2.    Revis and Butthead    7-2-0    .778    3-2-0    1255.24    1168.94    W-2    9    40
4.    Craigyhill Terrors    6-3-0    .667    4-1-0    1047.70    1063.02    L-1    4    7
7.    Faithful Turfmen    3-6-0    .333    2-3-0    1100.39    1176.54    L-3    3    7
9.    Crossmaglen Hitmen    2-7-0    .222    1-3-0    1149.78    1174.31    L-1    6    16
10.    Rehab is 4 Quitters    2-7-0    .222    2-3-0    1082.89    1214.55    L-2    1    19

George Allen Division

1.    Red Hand Helmets    8-1-0    .889    4-1-0    1343.21    1126.09    W-7    5    16
3.    Royal Badgers (Claw)    7-2-0    .778    5-0-0    1294.40    1146.53    W-5    10    21
5.    Ruthless Rossies    4-5-0    .444    2-3-0    1285.51    1219.60    L-4    8    33
6.    CAPT PATs VIKINGS    3-6-0    .333    0-5-0    1142.72    1148.64    W-1    7    32
8.    O'Neill's Chargers    3-6-0    .333    1-3-0    1012.76    1276.38    W-1    2    19


Week 10 Fixtures

    Faithful Turfmen -v-  Royal Badgers (Claw)
    Ruthless Rossies -v- Craigyhill Terrors
    CAPT PATs VIKINGS -v- Rehab is 4 Quitters
    Revis and Butthead -v- Red Hand Helmets
    O'Neill's Chargers -v- Crossmaglen Hitmen


Finally, in the Jerry Rice Championship, the dominant force so far has been Oraisteach's Browns, at 8-1 but that single defeat has meant that 2 games cover the first 5 seeds here as well, and a fascinating promotion battle is heating up. Even teams on 4-5 and 3-6 won't be completely writing themselves off just yet. The Uibh Fhailians have had a tough debut season, but their points tally would indicate that that is a little harsh, so they'll be hoping for the first win soon.

Bill Belichick Division

2.    puppet master    6-3-0    .667    4-1-0    1157.31    1042.25    L-2    6    22
5.    The Curragh Rams    6-3-0    .667    4-1-0    1093.12    1105.09    L-1    8    12

Luck plays a big part in this Seanie. You never really know going into a season how a player is going to perform. Then there are injuries. Peyton Mannings injury  was a fantasy football bombshell it made a mess of Dallas Clark, Wayne, Garcon, Addai, Collie, Vinatieri etc. as well as the Colts team. Chris Johnson a top 3 player has tanked so far this year. Larry Fitz has been mediocre.

These leagues are competitive. There are some real hawks in this league who gobble up any player as soon as they show any promise.

In Larry Fitz defence he is only as good as the QB allows him to be, unless he has had a load of drops.

It's not Larry's fault. They let Breaston and Boldin and Urban go in the last few years, so basically Doucet is his only foil. He's double teamed, and still gets his big catches. He just can't catch 11 balls a game any more, until either the O-Line gives Kolb some time, or other receivers become threats. In fairness to Beanie Wells, he's been good this year, so it's not like other years where the Cards had to pass.

Remember lads - Thursday Night Game this week. Waiver wire will lock at that point. Make sure your rosters are set, and any Free Agents you need are picked up.

It's San Diego hosting the Raiders.

I drafted Bush and held him all year cos I figured there was a good change of McFadden getting hurt. It was a calculated punt.

Jesus - I've never seen any player, any position score 47 points before. Obviously you still have a chance, nothing can be ruled out with Peterson, but you'd be coasting home with that switch all right.

I've a less than 10% chance I'd say. Rodgers is putting up crazy lines and no reason why he won't go well tonight. Looks like 4 teams going for 3 spots will all be 7-3.

47 points is just ridiculous.

I had both the bears D and Michael Bush so I'm sitting at 169 points with Greg Jennings still to go tonight :-D

Also a few years back I had the Philly D and scored 54 points with them one week.

Did we name a division after Andy Reid?

If we did can we change it?

Take yesterday: #1 receiver is suspended; #2 gets injured early; QB gets broken ribs early. You have one of the best 5 running backs in the league having a career season, you give him the ball and ride him as much as possible, right?

Right?

You gave him 14 carries? You're fired.

Post by: magpie seanie on November 17, 2011, 09:35:53 AM
Speaking of trades I was speechless at one I was offered yesterday. One of the leagues I play in was an autodraft league that I just joined up for the laugh. Have no idea who I am playing but after the draft I was chuffed with my team, especially as I had LeSean McCoy, Ray Rice and Fred Jackson. Trouble is you can only play 2 RB's so I'm committing the sin of haivng one of those 3 on my bench each week. I tried a few trades but nothing doing. With the trade deadline looming I stuck F-Jax on the block and got the following "offer":

Mark Sanchez and Willis McGahee for Fred Jackson and Tim Tebow. Bear in mind its standard scoring (i.e. 1 point for every 10 yards rushing) so Tebow is a starter most weeks (also have Rivers).

What do you say to that?
Title: Re: NFL Fantasy Football - GAABoard Superbowl VII Week 1
Post by: Capt Pat on November 17, 2011, 10:26:56 AM
No straight away. Sanchez will probably outscore Tebow tomorrow but after that Tebow is a better bet. Jackson is a lot better than McGahee

Post by: magpie seanie on November 17, 2011, 11:31:56 AM
I did say no straight away but I was tempted to send a bit of abuse! Alternatively I was thinking of offering him F-Jax for Megatron which in my eyes would be fairer than what he was proposing.

Seanie, I'm curious to know what you wanted in return that you got no takers on your earlier offers.  To state the obvious, you have three franchise RBs there.
Title: Re: NFL Fantasy Football - GAABoard Superbowl VII Week 1
Post by: magpie seanie on November 17, 2011, 04:02:33 PM
Oraisteach - I was looking for a top 10 WR or a top 5 QB. I have a really good roster and they were the only ways to improve it (WR's now are Bowe, Welker, V-Jax, Lloyd and D. Moore and QB's are Rivers and Tebow, TE's are Gronk and Gonzo). I just traded Schaub and Cruz for Lloyd and Rivers!

I think no-one will deal with me because I have such a strong team (am 8-2 and have scored far and away the most points). I was willing to take a discount on one of the 3 but not get totally ripped off. Too late now so at least if one of them goes down or loses form I've an equal replacement.
Title: Re: NFL Fantasy Football - GAABoard Superbowl VII Week 1
Post by: Oraisteach on November 17, 2011, 04:17:57 PM
That IS an impressive team you have. Even though you don't have Rodgers, Brees or Brady, you have a juggernaut.  I can't believe you sustained two losses.  I'd hate the luxury of having to bench any one of those RBs.  In my other league, I'd be on cloud nine if I had any ONE of those three.  I don't have running backs.  I have out-for-a-leisurely-stroll backs.  I too have the most points because my  league gives crazy points for QB performance, and I have Brees.
Title: Re: NFL Fantasy Football - GAABoard Superbowl VII Week 1
Post by: magpie seanie on November 17, 2011, 04:35:29 PM
I don't know how I lost 2 games myself, was awful unlucky those weeks. The guy who beat me narrowly in the first week hasn't got within 25 points of his total that week since. For the second "L" I was struggling with McCoy, F-Jax, Welker and Gronk on bye and my opponent had Foster going over 100 yards receiving and rushing and 3 TD's to beat me by <4 points!

Just goes to show how hard it is to win one of these things.

Looks like you're losing now? Big result in the context of the Halas division there as well. Smackdown Clowns, leading that division most of the season were beaten, and look to have been overtaken by the Tribesmen and Biffs, as well as the Bears in the Lombardi division. From #2 seeds to #5 in the blink of an eye.

I have to hope Palko is a repugnant as reported though Breaston has only had less than 2 points once. Think I'm screwed. Left points on the bench this week again but unlike last week I've no regreats as it would have been a crazy decision to start either over what I had. Must admit I went to bed last night thinking I was going to win - Giants and Bills killing me last couple of weeks. And AP now injured.....

And so we're into the final stretch of the regular season. (Heganboy, those trophies haven't arrived to me ?) All 3 championships have interesting sub plots in progress, and with just 3 games left, we're starting to really enter the red zone.

First of all in the Montana Superbowl Championship the results from Week 11 were

Faithful Turfmen B      114.38  Shower of Tramps       70.70
Galway Bay Tribesmen    147.05  New York Jets V          114.10
Coolera Bears         101.63 mayo warriors              109.33
L'Esprit de Biff        120.93 hegan's helmets           88.60
Smackdown Clowns       101.47 Ballyhaise Bills               156.25

And the standings, as a result, are

Vince Lombardi Division
1.    Faithful Turfmen B    10-1-0    .909    5-1-0    1458.80    1127.92    W-3    10    8
5.    Coolera Bears            7-4-0    .636    4-2-0    1405.74    1392.21    L-2    6    31
6.    mayo warriors            4-7-0    .364    2-3-0    1351.56    1407.89    W-2    5    19
7.    Ballyhaise Bills            4-7-0    .364    2-3-0    1288.13    1398.15    W-2    4    25
9.    Shower of Tramps    2-9-0    .182    1-5-0    1220.22    1456.95    L-4    2    18

George Halas Division
2.    Galway Bay Tribesmen    8-3-0    .727    4-2-0    1700.42    1404.12    W-4    9    39
3.    L'Esprit de Biff            8-3-0    .727    4-2-0    1477.37    1329.97    W-5    8    16
4.    Smackdown Clowns    7-4-0    .636    4-1-0    1511.67    1403.38    L-4    7    36
8.    New York Jets V    3-8-0    .273    1-4-0    1354.96    1455.31    L-6    3    48
10.    hegan's helmets            2-9-0    .182    1-5-0    1107.97    1500.94    L-2    1    9


Mayo Warriors last gasp win over the Coolera Bears has thrown this championship into the melting pot. With 3 games left, no one is sure of a place in the playoffs, but the Faithful Turfmen 'B' have a 2 game lead over the field, and 1 more win will clinch a playoff berth for them, despite only owning the 4th best points total. Smackdown Clowns have gone into a tailspin and fallen from the #1 seed to the #4 seed, and only held onto that by virtue of the Bears' defeat. The Coolera Bears have fallen out of the playoff places, but as 1 game seperates 4 teams from #2 to #5 it really is nail biting time in the last few weeks.

On the other end of the scale, again nothing is decided, although hegan helmets and shower of tramps look sure to be plying their trade in the Payton Championship next year. The New York Jets V, Ballyhaise Bills and Mayo Warriors are scrapping to avoid the last two spots, and the Bills and warriors helped their cause immensely with two wins in week 11.

Week 12 sees some big ties as the Coolera Bears try to eat into the Turfmen B's lead in the Lombardi Division, while tie of the week sees the Smackdown Clowns try to arrest the slide against the Tribesmen, and throw another spanner in the playoff works. L'Esprit de Biff will fancy their chances of reinforcing playoff credentials against the Tramps, while the New York Jets V will look to seal the fate of the helmets, and in turn draw level with the loser of the other huge tie of the week as the 6th and 7th place 4-7 warriors and Bills lock horns in a real relegation dogfight.


In the Payton 'B' Championship there is also an intriguing race at both ends of the table. The results from Week 11 were

Faithful Turfmen       136.45    Craigyhill Terrors       133.23
Ruthless Rossies       154.08    O'Neill's Chargers       120.44
CAPT PATs VIKINGS      108.53    Red Hand Helmets       114.81
Rehab is 4 Quitters       108.15    Crossmaglen Hitmen       99.82
Royal Badgers (Claw)      115.50    Revis and Butthead       111.93

Which all means that the standings are as follows

John Madden Division

2.    Revis and Butthead    8-3-0    .727    3-2-0    1549.90    1408.57    L-1    9    44
5.    Craigyhill Terrors            6-5-0    .545    4-2-0    1289.83    1330.65    L-3    6    10
6.    Faithful Turfmen       4-7-0    .364    3-3-0    1344.45    1446.97    W-1    5    7
7.    Rehab is 4 Quitters    4-7-0    .364    3-3-0    1334.43    1429.15    W-2    4    22
9.    Crossmaglen Hitmen    3-8-0    .273    1-4-0    1351.37    1368.24    L-1    2    19

George Allen Division
1.    Royal Badgers (Claw)    9-2-0    .818    5-0-0    1547.10    1366.07    W-7    10    22
3.    Red Hand Helmets    9-2-0    .818    5-1-0    1582.15    1417.35    W-1    8    16
4.    Ruthless Rossies            6-5-0    .545    3-3-0    1570.77    1448.94    W-2    7    37
8.    CAPT PATs VIKINGS    3-8-0    .273    0-6-0    1366.03    1406.84    L-2    3    37
10.    O'Neill's Chargers    3-8-0    .273    1-4-0    1218.98    1532.23    L-2    1    19

At the top of the pile, the Royal Badgers and Red Hand Helmets look safely through to the playoffs, as both have a 3 game lead over the 5th seed, and would need a major collapse to fall out of the playoff positions at this stage. The 8-3 Revis and Butthead also look safe enough, although a little less so with a 2 game cushion and 3 to play. For all the world, it appears as if the 4th seed is going to be a straight shootout between the 6-5 Ruthless Rossies, who currently owns the position on points scored, and the Craigyhill Terrors. Mathematically the 4-7 Turfmen and Quitters are still in contention, but that may well be extinguished after week 12. It's much more likely that the bottom 5 seeds, seperated by a single game from 3-8 to 4-7, will be in a dogfight all the way to week 14 in a bid to avoid relegation. Week 12 sees a battle of the 4-7 teams in a game that will go a long way towards meaning safety for one of them. Ruthless Rossies will be trying to stay in that 4th seed as they face a tough task against the #1 Badgers, while the other 6-5 team, Craigyhill Terrors will hope to hammer another nail in the  Capt Pat's Vikings hopes of survival. Revis and Butthead will look to ensure passage to the playoffs, and at the same time hurt the Crossmaglen Hitmen, while the other 3-8 team, O'Neill's Chargers, faces a real do or die tussle with 9-2 #3 seed Red Hand Helmets.

In the Jerry Rice 'C' Championship the results for Week 12 were

Faithful Turfmen 'C'       138.85    The Curragh Rams       81.93
Derry No Clues       56.14    Savage bearsn        148.40
puppet master       104.78    The Uibh Fhailians       47.20
Oraisteach's Browns       142.93    Big Apple Orchards       94.58
North Antrim Nuggets    106.17    Superdubs             86.50

All of which means

Bill Belichick Division
2.    puppet master            7-4-0    .636    5-1-0    1382.33    1222.40    W-1    9    26
5.    The Curragh Rams    6-5-0    .545    4-2-0    1273.03    1346.84    L-3    6    14
7.    Faithful Turfmen 'C'    4-7-0    .364    4-2-0    1251.03    1314.80    W-1    4    12
9.    Superdubs                    2-9-0    .182    1-4-0    1069.97    1311.58    L-2    2    -
10.    The Uibh Fhailians    0-11-0    .000    0-5-0    1072.75    1394.72    L-11    1    3

Andy Reid Division
*1.    Oraisteach's Browns    10-1-0    .909    5-1-0    1641.78    1263.40    W-3    10    30
3.    North Antrim Nuggets    9-2-0    .818    3-2-0    1438.39    1302.38    W-5    8    11
4.    Savage bears            8-3-0    .727    4-1-0    1393.02    1133.40    W-4    7    19
6.    Big Apple Orchards    5-6-0    .455    1-5-0    1316.98    1272.31    L-1    5    21
8.    Derry No Clues            4-7-0    .364    1-5-0    1174.55    1452.00    L-1    3    7

And congratulations to Oraisteach's Browns, the first team to clinch a playoff spot in all 3 Championships. The exact seed they will fill is still up for grabs though, as the North Antrim Nuggets are only 1 game back, and indeed the Savage Bears are just two back. It appears as if the only question outstanding in the C division is whether the Puppet Masters can hold off the Curragh Rams for the Bill Belichick title, and thus the #2 seed. It's likely that the runner up here will be pushed out altogether as currently the #4 team holds a full 2 game lead over the #5 seed. At the bottom, the hapless Uibh Fhaliians seem to have lost interest unfortunately, and 47 points in week 11 point to a less than rigorous training regime :) It's important to remember that even if you are out of contention, you can still influence other results and standings and other teams are relying on you to keep trying.

Week 12 sees puppet master facing off against the Faithful Turfmen 'C', and will be hoping that a win here, and a defeat for the Rams against Oraisteach's Browns will put them on the brink of a #2 seeding. North Antrim Nuggets will be cheering on the Rams, and hoping to get to 10 wins themselves against the Derry No Clues. The Savage Bears will be hoping to copperfasten their 4th seed, at the very least, as they play the 5-6 Orchards, while the basement battle sees the winless Uibh Fhailians have an opportunity to break their duck against the 2-9 superdubs.

Remember this is Thanksgiving Week!!!!! Set your lineups before Thursday, as there are 3 games on Thursday evening/night.

I konw everyone has their Fantasy team issues and it can be annoying listening to other peoples stories of woe but please indulge me:

I have 3 fantasy teams this year.

Fred Jackson was the one player I had on all 3 teams.

I also have Adrian Peterson on two of those teams.

It's fair to say I'm pretty pissed off!

Shit happens, deal with it. Jacksons has gone down hill the last few weeks with the Billls and would have been playing the Jets this week. Peterson would have been up against the strong Falcons run defense this week as well. You might not be missing out on too much if Peterson gets back next week. i am in the same Jackson Peterson boat in one of my leagues as well. Look for Chris Ogbaonnaya/Montario Hardesty/Hillis(whoever plays), Marshawn lynch, Ben Tate, Cedric Benson or Kevin Smith if they can be got.

i dunno what to do with tate  ??? . i have him on my bench at the moment as he is projected to get 2.6 odd points as obviously he is not the starter but he has scored 2 touchdowns the past 2 weeks and has an average of  5 yards per carry

Am dealing with it alright but its a kick in the nads to lose 2 studs in one afternoon. AP is matchup proof and the Jets aren't who they used to be against the run. Hopefully All-Day is not out too long or I'm toast.

You are off to a slow start against me Craigy. Stafford threw 3 picks and Suh got ejected and the Lions D didn't last the pace. You could have included a kicker for this matchup.

I didn't really take advantage with Finley bombing again. I did drop Hansen for Cundiff which has worked so far with Hansen getting zilch.

I meant to get the kicker spot filled today but got caught up with shite at work and forget to get round to it. I deserve to lose for carelessness alone

Just checked it there for the first time in several weeks and I would like to apologise to the person whose trade proposal has gone completely ignored  :D . As for the standings, God I knew it would be bad when I missed the draft and lost interest as a result... but jaysus, not that bad!

Playoff- clinched!
Division- clinched!
Promotion- clinched!

Now the question is, do I rest my starters to have them fit for the playoffs, or am I better off playing them in case I interrupt their rhythm?

Joe Montana GAA Board Superbowl Championship

Results for Week 12

    Faithful Turfmen B       140.42    Coolera Bears               149.17
    Galway Bay Tribesmen       158.92    Smackdown Clowns       155.81
    L'Esprit de Biff             112.97    Shower of Tramps       85.31
    New York Jets V        126.01    hegan's helmets       97.92
    Ballyhaise Bills             144.22    mayo warriors          105.00

This means the standings are as follows.

Vince Lombardi Division
*1.    Faithful Turfmen B    10-2-0    .833    5-2-0    1599.22    1277.24    L-1    10    9

George Halas Division

10.    hegan's helmets          2-10-0    .167    1-6-0    1205.89    1626.95    L-3    1    9


Congrats to *ahem* the Faithful Turfmen 'B' on clinching a playoff place, even if the number 1 seed is still very much up for grabs. Galway Bay Tribesmen and L'Esprit de Biff will still have designs on that seeding, as just 1 game separates the top 3 seeds. In the battle for number 4 seed, the Coolera Bears struck a huge blow with a comback win over the Turfmen, while the Clowns lost their 5th on the bounce to drop out of the top 4. With only 2 games left, time is running out for the Clowns to get back on track. At the other end the Helmets and tramps are doomed to the Payton Conference for next year, while the Bills gave themselves a real boost in the scrap to avoid the drop with a win over the warriors. At the moment the Bills, Warriors and Jets are all in the mix for the final two drop spots.

A bit of shape taking place in the Payton conference as we have 3 teams through to the playoffs, although the seeding order has yet to be determined. Congratulations to the Red Hand Helmets, Revis and Butthead and Royal Badgers. The Rossies and Craigyhill Terrors, and even Rehab is 4 Quitters are all sniffing around the 4th seed. In the drop zone, things are looking dire for O'Neill's Chargers, Crossmaglen Hitmen, Faithful Turfmen and Capt Pat's Vikings. Although none are officially down yet, they are all at least 1 game behind the 6th seed Quitters.

Oraisteach's Browns have been joined by the North Antrim Nuggets as playoff qualifiers. The Browns dealt a hammer blow to the Rams and it looks like puppet master and Savage bears are in the box seat. the Orchards helped their cause by beating the Bears, but it may be too little to late.

Post by: AZOffaly on December 06, 2011, 11:21:02 AM
Well Week 13 was a great week in our competition, although not so great to me. Matt Forte going out for 2-4 weeks at least probably kills me off, and mayo warriors rubbed salt into the wound with a big defeat for me as well. Nonetheless there's intrigue in every division so let's get cracking.

There's a lot riding on the last week of the season. Coolera Bears defeat means the Turfmen clinch the Vince Lombardi Division, and at least a #2 seed, but the Turfmen's own defeat, with wins for the Tribesmen and the Biffs means there are three teams locked together on 10-3. At the moment the Tribesmen hold the #1 seed on points total, but L'Esprit de Biff will have a chance to claim that spot with a win in a last day head to head between the two.

The final spot in the playoffs is a straight fight between the Coolera Bears and the Smackdown Clowns. Last week it looked rosy for the bears, but a loss this week, coupled with a much needed Clowns win means the teams are locked on 8-5. The Clowns have a much better points tally, so surely a win in the last week will see them make the playoffs. The Bears must hope for a Clowns slip up and a Bears win.

The Other matter down for decision is the relegation places. Hegan's Helmets, Shower of Tramps and New York Jets V are doomed, but mayo warriors, thanks to that win, are still alive. To survive, they will need to beat the Tramps, and hope the Bills lose to the Bears. Coupled with that, the Warriors will need to outscore the Bills in the final week. All to play for in an exciting last weekend

The Royal Badgers, Revis and Butthead and Red Hand Helmets have the first 3 playoff seeds locked up, although the exact order will be determined after week 14 as all 3 will have designs on the #1 seed. The 4th seed is still up for grabs mathematically, but in reality the Ruthless Rossies have it all but locked up with a 1 game lead over the Terrors, and over 300 points more scored as well. At the bottom there is a bit of a logjam, but O'Neill's Chargers are doomed, and it would appear the Hitmen and Turfmen are also gone (which will present us with a logistical problem next year!). The last drop spot is a fight between the 5-8 Rehab is 4 Quitters and Capt. Pat Vikings. The Vikings hold the all important 6th spot on points scored (106 points), so equalling or bettering the Quitters result in week 14 will be enough, surely, to see them home.

The 4 playoff spots are filled in the Rice Championship, and the 4 promoted teams are known. Congratulations to Oraisteach's Browns, Puppet Master, North Antrim Nuggets and Savage Bears who will all be operating up in the 'B' Championship next season. The exact order of seeds for the playoffs is still up in the air, but we know the puppet masters, as winners of the Belichick division, will be the number 2 seed. We also know the Savage Bears will be the #4 seed. Which means the Browns and Nuggets go into week 14 knowing that if they win the division they will play the Savage Bears, while the 3rd seed will face the puppet master. Further adding to the mix is that the Nuggets face off against the Savage Bears in week 14. Win that and they may be setting up a rematch in the Championship Semi Finals.

I'm fecked, looks like I'll be #5, same as one of my other teams. That's worse - I'm the top scoring team in that league but only finished 6-7 and lost out on the playoffs by half a game! The guy who pipped me had a tie this week. Ridiculous.

My 3rd team is a juggernaut, almost 250 points ahead of the next best team. I'll surely get tripped up in the playoffs.  ::)

Question - does the waiver wire shut at any stage? As in, do we need to get in subs for our DEF, DL, DB, K, QB places and the like in case of disaster?

A good start for Revis and Butthead and a lucky break for me. With the last notable play of the game Antonio Brown catches an 80 yard TD catch. That is one for the reception, 4 for the yards, 6 for the TD and 2 for going past 100 yards and 2 for going past 150 yards, 15 points in one catch to give 23 in total from an average player.

I think I have survived in division 2 thanks to Revis and Butthead beating Rehab is for Quitters. Unless Witten gets 34 points. He has never done that well before. The fun and games are over for another year.

How are the other leagues and players getting on?

Antonio Brown's far from average lad, he's been doing that most weeks! He's taken up the slack nicely since Fred Jackson went down.

And the results are in, and the playoff and relegation slots are decided. Here we go.

Joe Montana GAA Board Superbowl Championship

Week 14 Results

Faithful Turfmen B       125.04    hegan's helmets       111.90
Galway Bay Tribesmen    175.69    L'Esprit de Biff         128.07
Coolera Bears         141.15    Ballyhaise Bills         160.10

Shower of Tramps       90.68    mayo warriors         139.04

Which leaves the final standings as :

Vince Lombardi Division
*2.    Faithful Turfmen B    11-3-0    .786    5-3-0    1816.99    1537.05    W-1    9    9

And so the Smackdown Clowns righted the ship just in time to clinch the 4th seed at the expense of the Coolera Bears. The Playoff Spots are set and will see the #1 seed and George Halas Division Champ the Galway Bay Tribesmen at 11-3 take on the #4 seed 9-5 Smackdown Clowns. Halas Division Runner Up, and #3 seed L'Esprit de Biff take on the #2 Seed, the 11-3 Lombardi Champs Faithful Turfmen 'B' in an all Offaly semi final.

There are consolation playoffs as well, which are immaterial in terms of relegation as we are going by final league standings, but there are some battles for pride as the #5 Coolera Bears take on the #8 New York Jets V and the #6 Ballyhaise Bills take on the #7 Mayo warriors.

Relegated into the 'B' Championship for the 2012 season are the #10 hegan's helmets at 2-12, the #9 Shower of Tramps at 2-12, the #8 New York Jets V at 4-10 and the #7 mayo warriors at 6-8. The warriors needed things to go their way but the Bills beat the Bears to make sure of safety.

In the Walter Payton B Championship The results from Week 14 are as follows.

Faithful Turfmen       110.99    Red Hand Helmets       120.83

The promoted teams, who will battle it out for the B Championship over the playoff fortnight are the #1 11-3 Red Hand Helmets, winners of the Allen Division, who will play the #4 9-5 Ruthless Rossies in the semi final. The other semi will see the #2 seed, 10-4 Madden Champs, Revis and Butthead lock horns with the #3 seed Royal Badgers, who actually finished on the same record.

The playoffs for pride see the the #5 Craigyhill Terrors face the #8 Crossmaglen Hitmen, while the #6 Capt Pat's Vikings face the #7 Rehab is 4 Quitters.

The Drop Zone is populated by those teams in 7 - 10 place, and that means that the #7 Rehab is 4 Quitters, #8 Crossmaglen Hitmen, #9 Faithful Turfmen and #10 O'Neill's Chargers will be trying to get back up from the Rice Championship next season.

Which seques nicely onto the Jerry Rice 'C' Championship. Week 14 results from the C Championship were

The 4 promoted teams, through to the playoffs, had been known since last week, but the seedings have been decided and are as follows. The #1 team, with the best record in the entire GAA Board Fantasy Football League was the Andy Reid Champs Oraisteach's Browns. The Browns will play the red hot #4 seed Savage Bears. The #2 seed is the Belichick Division Champion Puppet Master, on a 9-5 record, and they will play the #3 North Antrim Nuggets, on an impressive 11-3 mark.

The minor playoff spots see the #5 Big Apple Orchards take on the #8 Superdubs, while the #6 Faithful Turfmen C take on Kildare Rivals #7 Curragh Rams.

Congratulations to the Uibh Fhalians who had a great win over the Curragh Rams on the last day which ensures no team, across all 3 Championships, finished winless.

Finally, thanks a million to all of you who played this season, but haven't made the playoffs. I hope you enjoyed the format, and will take part again next year to right the wrongs of 2011. To those in the playoffs, good luck, and I am still hoping to have a trophy for the winner of each Championship. Enjoy the Semi Finals!

Post by: AZOffaly on December 13, 2011, 12:55:20 PM
The Woulda Coulda Shoulda Team.

After the last week of the regular season for us, I thought It would be interesting to see what the best team possible would have been given our roster slots. If you had picked these lads you'd be sitting pretty at the moment.

QB - Aaron Rogers Green Bay Packers
(http://thedoozy.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/Aaron-Rodgers.jpg)
Points in 2011 293.85
How? Rogers threw for 4,125 yards in our season. He added 39 touchdowns and only 6 Interceptions. Also a viable running threat in the red zone, although that hasn't been needed this year so far, Rogers has 2 rushing TDs on 207 yards with his legs. Also Rogers has 0 fumbles lost. Maybe the best in the business at the moment, and he is certainly that in the GAA Board Fantasy League.
Who owns him? L'Esprit de Biff in 'A', Capt Pat's Vikings in 'B' , Oraisteach's Browns in 'C'

RB1 - LeSean McCoy Philadelphia Eagles
(http://trialx.com/curetalk/wp-content/blogs.dir/7/files/2011/07/sports/Lesean_Mccoy-1-small.jpg)
Points in 2011 235.10
How? Some people were worried about McCoy given the new 'Dream Team' in Philly, as they thought he might be downgraded in such a high powered offense, but as the dream turned to an uncomfortable nightmare, McCoy stayed constant as one of the best backs in the NFL. Already with 1172 yards on the ground, 'Shady' has 14 Touchdowns and 0 fumbles. A back who is as dangerous catching passes out of the backfield, and lethal in screens, McCoy also has 45 receptions for 310 yards and 3 Touchdowns so far in 2011. A ray of light in a dark Eagles' season.
Who owns him? Galway Bay Tribesmen in 'A', Revis and Butthead in 'B', The Curragh Rams in 'C'

RB2 - Ray Rice Baltimore Ravens
(http://www.theheismanwinners.com/sitebuilder/images/ray-rice_1_-212x281.jpg)
Points in 2011 232.12
How? Just behind McCoy in points scored, Rice has made hay as another pass catching, hard running tail back on a very good Baltimore Ravens team. Rice is a huge weapon for the Ravens and Joe Flacco needs him to produce to take the pressure off the passing game. With 1,029 yards and 10 Touchdowns, coupled with 593 Receiving yards and 2 Touchdowns, it's fair to say Rice has produced so far, in spades. He even managed to throw a TD pass himself. If it weren't for 2 fumbles lost, Rice would be the most productive back in our regular season.
Who owns him? Mayo Warriors in 'A', Royal Badgers in 'B', North Antrim Nuggets in 'C'

WR1 - Wes Welker New England Patriots
(http://www.nflpassers.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/Wes-Welker-Foot.jpg)
Points in 2011 249.16
How? It doesn't make sense. How does a 5' 9'', 185 lb slot receiver become one of the most feared weapons in the game? Welker is an anomaly in a game of giants, playing a position where the acknowledged template is a 6'3'' greyhound with a jump like a gazelle and hands like glue. However, Welker is damned good, and a rock of consistency. Great Hands, Sneaky Speed and a nose for the End Zone has made Welker a favourite target of Tom Brady in the Patriot's passing game. Welker has hauled in an even 100 receptions so far, for 1,339 yards and 9 touchdowns. He seldom has drops, and is resiliant after injuries. All in all, a blue collar work horse appreciated by fantasy owners and Pats fans alike.
Who owns him? Galway Bay Tribesmen in 'A', Revis and Butthead in 'B', Oraisteach's Browns in 'C'

WR2 - Calvin Johnson Detroit Lions
(http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lv1ba64dHq1qbfpyzo1_400.jpg)
Points in 2011 208.60
How? The Ying to Welker's Yang. If you were drawing up a prototype WR in the NFL, you might end up with a physical specimen like Megatron - Calvin Johnson, and then throw it away as being too optimistic. Standing at 6'5'', weighing 235 lbs  (with very little Curry Chip fat added) Johnson has speed to burn (probably quicker now than his 4.35 40 in the combine coming out of college). A fearsome weapon that has suffered when Matt Stafford is injured or out of synch, Johnson has been a big factor in the Lions good start to the season, and is a major reason they are still even contending for a playoff spot. 72 receptions for 1,121 yards and 12 Touchdowns (many of them in the 'throw it in the general direction of the big man' category), Johnson has been a big contributor in our season.
Who owns him?  Shower of Tramps in 'A', Red Hand Helmets in 'B', Derry No Clues in 'C'

Tight End - Rob Gronkowski New England Patriots
(http://i2.cdn.turner.com/si/2011/football/nfl/12/11/rob.gronkowski.record.ap/rob-gronkowski-story-zuma.jpg)
Points in 2011 233.78
How? A Tight End that has put many, many Wide Receivers to shame, the second year pro out of Arizona has been a revelation since he joined the league. Part of a savage 1-2 punch with Wes Welker in the Pats passing attach, 'Gronk' is a big Red Zone threat, and has 71 receptions for 1088 yards and 15 touchdowns. He's also managed a TD run in his great season so far and continues to be another great NE draft pick.
Who owns him? Galway Bay Tribesmen in 'A', Ruthless Rossies in 'B', Savage Bears in 'C'

Flex Position WR/RB - Darren Sproles New Orleans Saints
(http://whodatdish.com/files/2011/09/Darren-Sproles-2.jpg)
Points in 2011 206.60
How? An unlikely hero this one, but another indication that a pass catching Running Back is a great asset in a PPR league like ours. Sproles only has 463 yards rushing, with 2 TDs, but he has 74 receptions for 580 yards and 4 TDs. The X Factor with Sproles of course is his return game, and 1017 yards and a TD helps a lot there too. It may be significant, or it may be an anomaly, but 2 of our 3 top performing running backs are definitely undersized. Only McCoy at 5' 11'' and 208 lbs is the sort of physical specimen you expect there, and he is no monster himself. Throw in Welker, and maybe smaller is better in Fantasy NFL?
Who owns him? L'Esprit de Biff in 'A', Ruthless Rossies in 'B', Oraisteach's Browns in 'C'

Flex Position WR/TE - Jimmy Graham New Orleans Saints
(http://www1.pictures.zimbio.com/gi/Jimmy+Graham+New+York+Giants+v+New+Orleans+Ka5uYQS3R3rl.jpg)
Points in 2011 191.10
How? I have to say I'm surprised that a Tight End has broken into this flex position, at the expense of a wide receiver, and even more so that it's not Tony Gonzalez, Vernon Davis, Jermichael Finlay or Antonio Gates. However the second year man out of Miami is making the 2010 draft look like a great year for Tight Ends, when you factor in Gronkowski as well. Graham has been a big target for Drew Brees down in the Bayou, and has 80 receptions for 1101 yards and 8 touchdowns in a great year for the big man. Pass catching tight ends can be a real weapon for passing teams as defenses have to decide whether to cover him up with a safety, who will be outmatched physically, or a linebacker, who may be outmatched in terms of going and getting a ball. Graham is showing this as much as anyone this year.
Who owns him?  Galway Bay Tribesmen in 'A', Royal Badgers in 'B', The Curragh Rams in 'C'

Kicker - David Akers San Francisco 49ers
(http://www3.pictures.zimbio.com/gi/David+Akers+Seattle+Seahawks+v+San+Francisco+YPaUWircVH7l.jpg)
Points in 2011 142.00
How? No surprise to see the long time Eagles' kicker here, as he has been very consistent for years in the NFL. This season has seen a few uncharacteristic misses and blocks, but playing in the city by the bay has helped him. The 49ers have been dominating in possession, with a good run game and a stingy defense, but they are not scoring a lot of TDs which means Akers has a lot of opportunities to pad his stats. Akers has attempted 42 field goals this season so far, and has nailed 36 of them. He's added 27 extra points to make up his tally. A good kicker is vital in a close game, and especially the way the niners play. Luckily they have such a guy.
Who owns him? Ballyhaise Bills in 'A', Ruthless Rossies in 'B', On waivers in 'C'

Team Defense/Speacial Teams - Baltimore Ravens
(http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/1/16/Baltimore_Ravens_logo.svg/404px-Baltimore_Ravens_logo.svg.png)
Points in 2011 234.00
How? Reports of the Ravens' demise were greatly exaggerated, it appears, at least through the regular season. The play of Ray Rice, Anquin Boldin and co has helped, but it's on the back of their great Defense that the Ravens find themselves atop the AFC Central, with two wins over the hated Steelers, and in the box seat for a playoff spot. They've overcome losing spiritual leader Ray Lewis for a few games as well, as Terrell Suggs, Ed Reed, Ladarius Webb, Bernard Pollard, Haloti Ngata and co have picked up the slack. Allowing 196 points, the Ravens have 45 sacks, 14 Interceptions, 10 Fumble Recoveries and 4 turnovers returned for Touchdowns. They also have a kick return touchdown. Prolific, aggressive and opportunistic, the Ravens are a template for Fantasy Defense, and indeed for real life Defense.
Who owns them? Faithful Turfmen B in 'A', Red Hand Helmets in 'B', North Antrim Nuggets in 'C'

Defensive Back 1 - Patrick Peterson Arizona Cardinals
(http://www3.pictures.zimbio.com/gi/Patrick+Peterson+Arizona+Cardinals+v+St+Louis+W88GeZaIhjDl.jpg)
Points in 2011 127.10
How? Seasoned NFL watchers will be raising their eyes at this. How can a rookie cornerback who has been picked on for good portions of the year find himself ranked #1 in Fantasy at his position. This is where fantasy deviates from real life, as there is no doubt that 'P squared' found the going tough in a defense that was struggling to find itself over the first half of the season. As the team defense has adjusted and improved, so too has Peterson, and he is showing great promise as a cover corner, albeit still making rookie errors. The constant throughout the year, and the reason for his ranking, has been his return game. NFL single season joint record holder with 4 punt returns to the house, Peterson has 3 games left to claim the record on his own. He has 53 solo tackles (which happens a lot when your man has caught the ball), 1 sack, 2 interceptions, 11 passes successfully defended, and 1 blocked kick to go with his 603 return yards and 4 scores. Cardinals fans would be content to see him drop down the rankings here as it would probably mean he's improved so much that QBs don't throw to him, and he's not making so many tackles. It would be good for the punt return numbers to stay good though!
Who owns him? L'Esprit de Biff in 'A', Craigyhill Terror in 'B', North Antrim Nuggets in 'C'

Defensive Back 2 - Charles Tillman Chicago Bears
(http://chicagobearsfans.files.wordpress.com/2011/09/tillman_inside111406.jpg?w=230&h=300)
Points in 2011 120.00
How? A ball hawk in the Chicago Defense, Tillman has amassed his points in purely defensive duties, unlike Peterson. Of course it's probably a bad sign that Tillman has even more tackles than Peterson (75) but a lot of that can be attributed to the fact that Tillman likes to hunt the ball down, even in run plays. The Bears' season is in danger of going into the tank with the loss of Cutler, but Tillman has been very prolific at Corner, with those 75 tackles, 2 Interceptions, 3 Forced Fumbles, 2 fumble recoveries, 1 Touchdown and 11 passes defended. It's been a busy year for Tillman, but if he keeps making big plays it may get a whole lot quieter for him.
Who owns him? Smackdown Clowns in 'A', Red Hand Helmets in 'B', Oraisteach's Browns in 'C'

Defensive Line/Linebacker - Jared Allen Minnesota Vikings
(http://blog.nubag.tv/assets/jared-allen.jpg)
Points in 2011 156.00
How? Allen may look like a good ole boy, and a hillbilly stereotype from the 80s, Mullet and all, but there's no doubt that on the field he plays like the wild animals he likes to hunt in the off season. Allen is a full 38 points ahead of his nearest challenger and his all action marauding style has been a beacon of light in the Vikings' poor season. He loves QB meat, and has had 18 sacks so far this year, best in the league. He's also had a safety, an Interception, 4 Forced Fumbles, 4 Fumble Recoveries, and 3 Passes Defended. It's been a great year personally for the 8 year veteran out of Idaho State. Maybe next year the Vikings might be able to give him a chance to win again, but this year his main influence has been on Fantasy NFL.

Fairly disgusted to not make the playoffs but the damage was done long before this week though the performances of my 3 IDP's put the tin hat on it. I enjoyed the season but found it tougher than last year. Now into the "consolation" where all teams scored more last week than 2 of the teams that got through to the playoffs!

I'm alive in one league still but I will play the consolation games cos you only get 16/17 games a year. It's mighty craic, wild pity that its almost over and we've to wait 8-9 months more for the new season.

Just like to second that, great post. Sproles has been the real surprise. The rest all were touted to be fantasy relevant (maybe not the Gronk as much) and were all taken highly, but not Sproles.

Looking forward to the semis tonight, first time making the playoffs in the league.

Going to bed after staying up to watch the Cardinals win another cardiac job, I looked at our tallies, and I was about 18 points behind with Boldin and the Ravens D to play versus Eric Weddle. I knew it was far from a formality, but I thought I had a chance, especially if the Ravens managed a few takeaways and Boldin found the endzone.

Ah well, C'est la Vie. Best of luck in the final, bring it home to Offaly. :D

It had to happen. My team that contained McCoy, Ray Rice, Welker, Gronkowski, Bowe, Lloyd and V-Jax as well as QB's Rivers and Tebow (played Tim this week) got creamed despite annihilating all round them in the regular season. Screw fantasy football anyway!

NYJetsV got almost 30 points against me from CJ fecking Spiller (though I might still win that one)! Nice to see Jabal Sheard of Cleveland get back on track as well after the duck egg he presented me with last week  ::).

Post by: AZOffaly on December 19, 2011, 02:22:00 PM
Just for interest, in the Semi Finals at the various levels, the storie are as follows, with just Pittsburgh versus San Francisco tonight to come.

Joe Montana GAA Board Superbowl Championship - Semi Finals

Faithful Turfmen 'B' 110.65 - 128.66 L'Esprit de Biff.

This battle of Ferbane was a good tight battle, and is officially over as all players have played, where the Biffs always had the upper hand. Out of the blocks early enough, they held well over a 50 point lead going into the evening games, but despite the best efforts of Tom Brady and Arian Foster the Turfmen came up short. It looked promising as the leagues best fantasy 'Defense' and Anquin Boldin were trying to haul back a deficit of less than 20 points, but unfortunately the Ravens D decided to shite the eggs when it mattered most (to me at least!) and returned -1. Thanks lads. Congratulations to the L'Esprit, who were well served by mighty midget Darren Sproles and unsung heroes Demaryius Thomas and Nate Washington. Aaron Rogers also managed to overcome a decidedly iffy outing for his standards to chip in with 16.30 points.

Galway Bay Tribesmen 144.77 - 136.94  Smackdown Clowns

A real barn burner is in progress in the second semi and the Tribesmen face a nervous wait tonight. A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush, but I'm not sure if 7+ points will be enough to stave off the Clowns, who have Mike Wallace and Aldon Smith in action tonight. A TD for Wallace will surely seal it for the Clowns, while even without that you would fancy Aldon Smith to have a few tackles in the game, and that might be enough. The Tribesmen had big days from Matthew Stafford and LeSean McCoy, but the Clowns answered in style through Drew Brees (5 TD PASSES!!) Ryan Matthews and Darrius Heyword Bey. Clowns have to be favourites, but as I found out last night, there's no sure things.


Walter Payton GAA Board 'B' Championship - Semi Finals

Ruthless Rossies 109.15 - 145.64 Red Hand Helmets

Looks to be all over bar the shouting in the first of the B semis, as the Rossies face a 36+ point deficit heading into tonights game. They do have an outside chance, as the Niners Defense is pretty prolific, and Ben Roethlisberger might be hobbling around out there tonight. Sometimes the Steelers O'Line looks like 6 Turnstiles, so the Niners might smell blood. Even so, it will take a big effort from them and the kicker David Akers to reel in the lead. Unlikely, but far from impossible. If the Helmets hang on they do so despite Eli Mannings miserable outing of 1.14 points, and the Raven's miserable -1 return,  and largely because of Calvin Johnson, Megatron, and his huge night (40.70 points). Reggie Bush, Ryan Matthews and a big sack night for Justin Babin. That the Rossies are somewhat within striking distance is due to Tom Brady and Darren Sproles.

Royal Badgers 155.30 - 132.43 Revis and Butthead

The Royal Badgers may be about to overcome the biggest selection error since Mayo put Pat Holmes on Maurice Fitzgerald. DeMarco Murray found himself starting for the Badgers despite being on the IR, but they still manage to lead by just under 23 points going into tonight's game. Unlikely heroes were the Seattle Defense with 41 points (did someone kidnap the Ravens and dress them in Teal?) and the rest of the team had a nice spread of 10-15 points in a lot of areas. Revis and Butthead got big nights from Roddy White, LeSean McCoy and Mister Divisive Tim Tebow. He will need a big game from Antonio Brown tonight to haul it back, and it's hard to see it materialising against the Niners.


Jerry Rice GAABoard 'C' Championship

Oraisteach's Browns 109.35 - 117.96 Savage Bears

The Packers go down, and in the first week of knockout ball the Oraisteach's Browns have gone the same way, baring hiri kari from the Steelers Defense tonight. The Savage Bears were in great form coming in to play the best regular season team of the entire competition, and the dangerous Bears seem to have taken down the #1 seed. Solid scoring throughout the team, headlined by Ryan Matthews 19.45 points, was the secret for the Bears, and despite Darren Sproles, Aaron Rogers and Nate Washington's best efforts it appears as if the favourites are out.


puppet master 152.02 - 85.58 North Antrim Nuggets

Another slight surprise here, although not in projected totals, as the 9-5 puppet masters have soundly beaten the 11-3 North Antrim Nuggets, albeit the Nuggets have 1 man to go tonight in Antonio Brown. The nuggets were another who lived by the Ravens, and this week died by them, although in fairness there is almost 70 points between the teams at the moment, so even the Ravens at their best wouldn't be bridging that gap. Another selection blunder here, as Matt Forte and his sprained MCL were sent into battle by the Nuggets, unfortunately not by Chicago, so 0 points there. Aaron Hernandez and Torrey Smith were prolific enough, but not nearly sufficient as Drew Brees, Marshawn Lynch, Brent  Celek and Roddy White have powered the masters into the 'C' final.

Rough, rough week.  Packers fall, Colts win, and I get eliminated from both of  my leagues, in each of which I was the top team.  Ouch!

Promotion at least.

We have our finalists.

Joe Montana GAA Board Superbowl Championship - Semi Finals

Faithful Turfmen 'B' 110.65 - 128.66 L'Esprit de Biff.

This game was decided before last night, and the Biffs march on to the final.

Galway Bay Tribesmen 144.77 - 159.24  Smackdown Clowns

It was unlikely, and so it proved. 7 points ahead going into this game  last night was not enough for our #1 seed as the renaissance of the Smackdown Clowns continued. Mike Wallace (WR-PIT) had 9.30 points and Aldon Smith (DL-SF) had an impressive 13 points to book the Clowns' passage through to the final against the Biffs.


Walter Payton GAA Board 'B' Championship - Semi Finals

Ruthless Rossies 141.15 - 145.64 Red Hand Helmets

Well they had a right blast at it, but the Rossies just failed to make the 36 points needed as the 49ers defense accumulated 24 points and David Akers added another 8. It just wasn't enough though and the#1 seeds are safely through.

Royal Badgers 155.30 - 142.26 Revis and Butthead

The Badgers breath a sigh of relief after the DeMarco Murray selection blunder, as Antonio Brown was unable to pull off the herculean effort required. 9.83 points was a decent effort, but never enough and so the Meathmen march on to face the Tyrone reps in the 'B' final.


Jerry Rice GAABoard 'C' Championship

Oraisteach's Browns 109.35 - 119.96 Savage Bears

And it's official. The best record and #1 seeds have been taken down by the Savage Bears, and Offaly have a rep in the 'C' final as well. The Steelers D didn't exactly set the world alight on Monday, but they added 2 points and that was just gravy for the Bears who march on. The Browns will look back with delight on a great season and promotion, but frustration at falling at the playoff semi final.


puppet master 161.32 - 95.41 North Antrim Nuggets

Antonio Brown's 9.83 points barely made a dent in the puppet master's lead, and in fact Mike Wallace from Pittsburgh undid most of even that with 9.3 points of his own to seal a very comfortable victory for the masters, the #2 seed, who move on to play the Savage Bears.



Congratulations to all our finalists, and hard luck to the beaten semi finalists. Remember there are 3rd and 4th place play offs this week as well.

To Our Finalists - ATTENTION!!!!

As this is Christmas Week, and Christmas Day falls on a Sunday, the schedule is quite different.

We have 1 game on Thursday (Houston @ Indianapolis)

There are 13 games on Christmas Eve (Saturday)

1 game Christmas Eve night/Christmas Day Morning (Chicago @ Green Bay)

1 game Christmas Night (Atlanta @ New Orleans).

We'll be crowning our champions on Stephens' Day.


Best of Luck.

Also, not to forget the other teams who have been toiling away for the minor placings, the consolation results in each division were


Joe Montana Consolation

#5 Coolera Bears saw off the #8 New York Jets V on a scoreline of 121.77 to 115.18. The Bears rode the 30.75 points of Atlanta WR Roddy White to the win.

#6 Ballyhaise Bills overcame the #7 mayo warriors 115.17 to 102.31, on the back of Reggie Bush's 24.45 points.

The Bears and Bills face off in a very interesting tussle next week, which would grace the Championship Play Offs themselves, while the warriors and Jets V play their last game in the top tier next week.

Walter Payton Consolation

#5 Craigyhill Terrors had a comfortable win over the #8 Crossmaglen Hitmen on a final tally of 135.50 to 96.26, thanks largely to Drew Brees' big day.

#6 CAPT PATs VIKINGS also saw off the #7 seed Rehab is 4 Quitters by 13 points, 107.80 to 94.13. Marshawn Lynch and Aaron Rogers the heaviest scoring contributors there.

That sets up another consolation #5 v #6 match between the Terrors and the Vikings, while the Quitters and Hitmen prepare for the C Championship next year with their last game in 'B'.

Jerry Rice Consolation

#5 Big Apple Orchards made it past the strong finishing superdubs on a final of 139.55 to 126.68, with Tom Brady and Reggie Bush the main men.

#6 Faithful Turfmen 'C' made it a clean sweep for the #5 and #6 seeds against their #7 and #8 counterparts with a 129.30 to 115.57 victory over the Curragh Rams. The San Francisco 49ers Defense saw the Turfmen home last night.

This means the Turfmen and Orchards square up next week, while the Rams and SuperDubs rehash the Leinster Football Final as the last game of 2011 in the GAA Board NFL Fantasy League.

Bugger. Think that's the 2nd time in 3 years I've lost in the first round of playoffs after getting top seed. Just can't catch a break. Switched out the Seahawks D (41 points) for the Giants D (6 points) at the last minute. Fecking cost me the game. Oh well still good fun this year.

Would never have forgiven myself if I had lost. I would have put Lance Moore in who had a monster. Was on the 12 pubs and forgot the game was on Sat. Best of luck Red Hand Helmets.

I think the Clowns & the Tribesmen have met in the semis each of the last 3 years...
Caught a bit of last nites game waiting for Mike Wallace & the DL to get the 7 points needed. There was a blackout in the stadium when a transformer blew up outside the ground, delayed the start of the game and then at the start of the second quarter the lights went out again. Thought it was going to be abandoned with me a few points short...

I thought you would win it. You deserved it over the season (like I did last year). I suppose thats what makes winning a championship so difficult.

Final against Ballyhaise for me again this year but its in the losers consolation group. Does the winner get a Bihatimber?
Title: Re: NFL Fantasy Football - The RoundUp!! 2011 winners crowned.
Post by: AZOffaly on December 30, 2011, 01:14:10 PM
Well, it's over for another year. It's been a very enjoyable season I think, and I like the 3 discrete competitions, so I think we'll keep that format. As always, any suggestions for next year are very welcome.

Sincere thanks to those who took part, all the  Championships were keenly contested, and I hope ye all (especially the newcomers) enjoyed it and it made the season more interesting for ye.

Anyway, without further ado, here is a roundup of the final games.

Jerry Rice 'C' Championship
The Final

Savage Bears 147.87 - 135.69 puppet master

It was the Savage Bears who rode their hot streak all the way to the title in the C Championship, and it was Rookie QB Cam Newton who proved the game changer in the final with 24.67 points. The Steelers D shut out the Rams for 21 points, and Maurice Jones-Drew had a big 20.20 points as well. For the puppet masters, Drew Brees and Roddy White gave them an outside chance going into Monday's game, but despite 22.59 and 19.35 points respectively, they just had too much ground to make up. A place in the 'B' championship next season is a grand consolation prize, but the 'C' championship goes to Offaly. Congratulations Savage Bears.



Third Place Play Off

Oraisteach's Browns 168.67 - 108.44 North Antrim Nuggets

In many ways the most impressive team in all leagues this year were the Browns, and it is fitting that they bounce back from an unexpected defeat in the semi final to claim third place, with an impressive 60 points to spare. Old reliables Aaron Rogers (28.56 points) and Wes Welker (21.25 points) did the majority of the damage, while the Nuggets best performer was Arizona WR Larry Fitzgerald with 19.25 points. Both teams will look for another good year in 'B' next season.


Other Results

Faithful Turfmen 'C' 171.98 - 82.93 Big Apple Orchards
The Curragh Rams 81.47 - 107.86 Superdubs

Walter Payton 'B' Championship
Final

Red Hand Helmets 140.80 - 100.98 Royal  Badgers

Tyrone celebrates the 'B' Championship this season as the Helmets had a comfortable win over the Meath Men in the B final, with almost 40 points seperating the teams at the end. Packers WR Jordy Nelson was the main man, in one of those streaky games he tends to have, with 25.75 points. Nelson was the standout performer in the tie, as the best the Badgers could come up with was 15.75 points from Ravens Running back Ray Rice. The Helmets will be delighted to have made their number 1 seeding pay off, the only team in the GAA Board Leagues to do that.

Third Place Play Off

Ruthless Rossies 167.11 - 108.98 Revis and Butthead

The #4 seed Rossies belied their seeding with a comprehensive demolition of the #2 Revis and Butthead in the third place play off, having almost 60 points to spare. Tom Brady (26.93) and Victor Cruz, the Giants WR with 21.20, were the heaviest hitters, but there were good scores throughout the Rossies team in week 16. Wes Welker did his bit for the Revis and Butthead team, as did Roddy White on Monday Night, but it was a forlorn chase. A competition to look forward to next year for both these teams, and that will be the main focus now.

Other Results

CAPT PATs Vikings 154.01 - 103.57 Craigyhill Terrors
Rehab is 4 quitters 130.72 - 119.81 Crossmaglen Hitmen


Joe Montana GAABoard Superbowl Championship

And so onto the main event. Our 2011 Superbowl Champions are

L'Esprit de Biff


Final

L'Esprit de Biff 129.89 - 128.34 Smackdown Clowns

What a final we had. After 14 regular season games and a semi final, 1.55 points was the sum total of a gap between the champions and runners up in our final. The Smackdown Clowns regeneration finally ran out of gas in the tightest of circumstances as it all came down to Monday Night. The Biffs held the lead with Lance Moore and Darren Sproles to play, while the Clowns had Drew Brees, and Marques Colston in harness. Brees scored 22.59 points, and Colston added 17.05 points. Given that Moore could only respond with 4.65 points for the Biffs, the Clowns looked good. However, the little big man, doing it all year, Darren Sproles came up big again for the Biffs, and his 18.13 point haul was just enough to seal the deal for the Biffs. It is ironic that had the Saints knelt on the ball with 2 minutes to go, the Clowns would be champions, but Bree's 9 yard throw to Sproles on the 2:19 mark gave the Saints a touchdown, and Brees 4 points. Unfortunately for the Clowns, it gave Sproles 6 points and gave the Biffs the win. Such are the vagaries of Fantasy Football, and it was a tight, tight finish. A suitable end to a great season. Congratulations to the Biffs, who bring it to Offaly, and hard luck to the Clowns, pipped at the post.

Third Place Playoff

Faithful Turfmen 'B' 147.48 - 123.46 Galway Bay Tribesmen
In the third place playoff the 'B' Turfmen wrapped up a successful season with a 24 point win over the #1 seed Tribesmen. Tom Brady, Arien Foster, Larry Fitzgerald and Brandon Pettigrew did the damage, while the Tribemen responded through Matt Stafford and Wes Welker in the main. Both of these teams will be looking to dial it up for one more step next season.

Other Results

Coolera Bears 115.10 - 141.37 Ballyhaise Bills
New York Jets V 126.02 - 112.96 mayo warriors

**************************************
So that's it, thanks again for playing, and enjoy the playoffs and the Superbowl. I still hope to have trophies for the winners above, but my distributor has gone quiet on me :D I'll contact the winners if I can get it sorted soon.

See ye again next August please God, for another draft and away we'll go again, for our 8th incarnation!

Good work AZ!!! Enjoy this every year despite my performance.
I would push for at least 12 teams per league next year and if we dont have the players then consolidate to two leagues of 14.
4 Defensive positions was a better option in my opinion than an extra flex slot.
Thought the points allocation was spot on for the most part and I'm happy to stay with Yahoo format.

Seriously, much appreciation to AZ for his efforts in putting together an incredibly enjoyable league. I'm not sure this was a triumph for consistent performance over the course of the season, but the lads managed to deliver in the playoffs, and I'm quite honoured to be the first repeat winner of the GAAboard Superbowl!

One more win and I can start calling myself a dynasty.....  :D

I was against it from the start but the way my IDP's went most of the season I'd have preferred no defensive players!

Thanks again AZ for running this so smoothly. Disappointing season for myself. Was always too low on the waiver wire to pick up the help I needed when expected studs like Britt and Dallas f**king Clark didn't work out though I made some bad mistakes too. Anyway, there's always next year.....pity its so far away.

Time to start cranking this up. The Cardinals are playing the Saints next week in the opening pre-season game!!. I've been away for a couple of weeks so I'll just take a look at our finishes from last year and post up which leagues I want ye all to join.

Basically the Division 1 will be the top 6 from last year, plus top 4 from Div 2

Div 2 will be bottom four from Division 1, 5 and 6 from Division 2 and Top 4 from Division 3

Division 3 2ill be bottom four from Division 2 and bottom 6 from division 3.

If we have lads dropping out, we will fill their slots with people from lower divisions, and get newbies into Div 3.

Drop back into the C division yourself and I'll go into B :) or move someone else up it doesnt matter to me.

I would take some of the feedback posted at the end of last year on the scoring.
4 Defensive Players!!
I would also consider two leagues of 14 if we only have that many teams or 3 leagues of 12.
10 teams per league has all the teams too strong and leaves no room for some cute whore management skills....

Don't worry, it's not actually starting yet, but as I'm off on holidays to Portugal for 2 weeks, with very limited internet access, I want to get a bit of feedback regarding the Tool we use, and even any scoring changes ye'd like to see.

www.nfl.com have launched a new free fantasy game,
www.espn.com has a well established fantasy game, which is the basis for the podcasts they do (ESPN Fantasy Focus Football)
www.yahoo.com is our own 5 year old home.

If anyone has any strong preferences, please let me know and I'll take a look. We've had to have two seperate leagues the past two seasons due to Yahoo capping at 20, so if any of these are better that would be a good start. It has to be head to head (i.e. weekly matchups) though, no league tables of points scored.

Cheers

Well.  Interested in signing up!!!!  Whats the procedure?

AZ, I was unable to log on to the "B" championship--it said I was not part of the league.

On the issue of league size, I'd prefer no more than 10 tems per division.  Anything more dilutes the available talent pool.

10 teams leaves everyone with a very strong team but then if one or two players get injured (as was the case last year) there is no room to come back with trades or with pickups as the teams are too strong.
Having 12-14 teams makes it more work than luck to win.

If everyone is strong then the decisions over who to start are crucial. There's loads of skill and/or luck involved no matter what size each division is.

That wasn't my point. In a 14 team league no one team has a host of strong players starting and on the bench. In a 10 man league they do. Look at my team last year - I lost Foster in the first half of the season and Peyton for the whole Season - it left me in no position to compete because no matter what trades or pickups I could pull it would never match the depth of other teams.... thats a big down side to smaller leagues and stronger teams.

Don't quite follow, Iceman.  If you lose Manning and Foster in a 14-team league, it's goodnight Irene.  There are simply no replacements out there, but in a 10-team set-up, you can find adequate substitutes, thereby assuring your continued interest in the competition.  Dilution is not the solution.  Boy, that was a crummy slogan.

All I know, Iceman, is that I play in another league of 14 players.  A couple of key injuries and you're done.  There's just nobody on waivers worth picking up up.  With 10, on the other hand, although you'll never recoup your initial loss, at least you've a chance to pick up a player or two who'll score some points.  Anyway, with Armagh doing a genie disappearing act and the Cleveland Indians folding like a deck chair, I'm looking forward to the fantasy season.

I'm looking forward to it too. If we can't agree on the number of teams per league can we agree on the 4 defensive players???

10 teams is perfect, if we have to, go to 4 divisions.

AZ put the league name, league ID and League password, I tried the links and they wouldn't work.

4 def players is good

Post by: magpie seanie on August 04, 2012, 09:43:54 AM
I agree. If you need to get extra teams to make it up to 40 I'd be willing to manage a second team in Div4. The 4 defensive players should return I think.

Post by: AZOffaly on August 07, 2012, 08:52:10 AM
OK lads, seems to be a consensus on the 4 Defensive players. I'll go through each league tomorrow night and send out individual invites. If youare NOT in the correct league, can you please PM me an email address I can send the link to? Some peoples' email in the yahoo league seem to be invalid.

Also, I was thinking weekend for drafts? or else Weeknights Irish time, rather than weekday Irish? What do ye think? We need 3 drafts.

Title: Re: NFL Fantasy Football - GAABoard Superbowl VIII - Kickoff
Post by: declan85 on August 07, 2012, 12:14:00 PM
My 2 cents...

Will the 4th defensive player be returned at the expense of the W/T spot that was added in its place last year? What position will be added? I wouldnt mind seeing the LB spot added. Its never been in before (as far as i know) and with many teams running the 3-4 defense guys like Clay Matthews and Demarcus Ware are pretty valuable...

For defensive player scoring, i reckon a Safety & Block Kick need to be increased from 2 points to 4 points. Minor one as they dont happen often but still i reckon they should get a little more credit...

Thursday night games now start in week 2. The waiver time may need to be reduced a bit to give the option of any players dropped on a Wednesday when the waiver opens to be picked up before it shuts again on Thursday night. Whatever the league consensus on that one is fine...

Lads, serious apologies for being behind the curve this year, I'm trying hard to get the time to sort this out. I will have to leave one team in the B Championship, so apologies for that.

I will try my best to get the leagues sorted out, but in the meantime, please join which ever one you can. The most important thing is that we have at least 30 entrants. We also have a couple of new lads looking to get in, so if anyone is not rejoining I'd like to know ASAP.

At the moment, (ignoring whether they are in teh right league or not) we have 10 in the Montana League, 7 in Payton and just 3 in Rice. We need to fill these up rapid, so please join whichever league you have been invited to, and we'll sort out the promotion and relegation from that point on.

Also, re drafts. I will do weekend nights, but may have to have 2 or even 3 on the same weekend, so we might be looking at Friday, Saturday and Sunday nights.

cheers

Il leave my place open to anybody who wants to join this year.  I made a hash of something last year and got locked out of my team so there were probably a few easy points picked up from me which could have affected things at the business end of the year.  Wouldn't want to do that again and take the place of someone who is wanting to join.

Sorry for the delay.

Lads - Would adding the LB position not be good crack? I think we should add it.

Also - can we change weekly waivers to Sunday to Tuesday? As it is if you don't manage to pick up off waivers before the Wednesday night game (when they kick in) you cannot pick up anyone. 
If it is changed to "Sunday to Tuesday" then only the players from the Weds night or early games are unavailable. 
This is one that really needs to be changed folks!!

OK, the story here is that Faithful Turfmen need to be in this division so someone needs to drop out. Here are a couple of alternatives

1. - Invites have been sent to Hegan's Helmets and New York Jets. I expect them to join quickly. That leaves Puppet Master, and if I don't get an email or hear from him today, I'll be demoting puppet Master which will leave a slot for the Turfmen.

2. If puppet master does join, and we have to promote a team to fill Claw's spot in the Montana, then Faithful Turfmen will take the promoted teams's slot.

I'll work it out, but the important thing is that the three remaining teams join ASAP.

OK lads, the latest story. Capt Pat's Vikings will be promoted to the A Competition, and Royal Badgers Demoted. Sorry Claw, but we need to schedule the drafts. Faithful Turfmen are taking Capt. Pat's place in the B league, which leaves  one slot to fill there, and that can be either Royal Badgers, or Puppet Master, neither of whom have sent me their email addresses. The C competition is slowly taking shape, but we need people in there ASAP please.

I am planning on doing the Montana Draft this SATURDAY night at 9pm Irish time. Planning on the Payton Draft to be Sunday at 8.00 pm Irish Time. We're too lax on the Rice League to schedule a draft yet, but it will have to be the weekend after.

If  there's only 4 in the C division move 'em up to B and get started with a 12 team A and a 12 team B. just an idea but we would be ready to roll

What are we doing for defensive players? Is it back to 2 Defensive linemen and 2 DB's or was there a mention of LB's getting included?

Yahoo doesn't (I believe) differentiate between Linemen and Linebackers. You can pick LBs in the DL slot. Just like Safeties and Corners in DB slots. I think.

I've never participated in a live draft or even ranked beforehand, usually allowing lady luck to leave me with a shower of nearlies.

This time I will - is it simply a case of doing a bit of research into the players you'd like to have and nailing them on the day?
Title: Re: NFL Fantasy Football - GAABoard Superbowl VIII - Kickoff
Post by: AZOffaly on August 22, 2012, 02:48:46 PM
Yep, and having a first second third choice as you go along so you can react to moves by others. For example, if your strategy is to pick RBs or WRS and suddenly you find Aaron Rogers landing in your lap at number 9 or 10, do you pick him or stick to your guns even though the top WRS and RBS are gone?

I'd suggest doing a couple of mock drafts to get in the swing of things. The draft is one of the best parts of the whole season.

Is there any chance of moving the Montana draft from 9pm Saturday night? Even an hour earlier might work. The draft usually lasts an hour and a half meaning not finished til 10.30pm on a Saturday night. Wouldn't suit anyone with social plans...

AZ you can't pick LB in the DL slots, unless the player is a flex type LB,DE. For example a player like Clay Matthews is only LB and can't be set as a DL
You can only pick a DE or a DT into the DL slot.
You would need to enable the LB position for this.

New Flex 1 - WR or TE or RB - ADDED
New Def Pos - LB - ADDED.

OK, The Joe Montana Conference is locked and loaded and ready to go. We just need to finalise the draft date and time. So far it is fixed for Saturday at 8.30 pm. Can everyone who is in the MONTANA championship PM me and let me know if a) Saturday 8.30 works for them and b) if not, what their preference is. Weekday Night, Weekday Day, Weekend Day or Weekend Night. Please understand it's going to be very hard to please everybody, especially with the matches starting the week after next, but I'll do my best.

Personally, 8.30pm will be a bit tight - there's Offaly SFC games on this weekend and I'm down to cover a match @ 7pm. Midweek works fine for me usually, but if it made no odds, I'd swing back for 9pm.

God help you trying to co-ordinate all this AZ!

Only sent PM there but it looks too late anyway. Bugger. Saturday evenings/night are pretty much the worst time of the week for me. Always either out at a match or just out in general. Often both.

OK. Here's the skinny.

We have 10 people in the league, and Saturday night works for 5-6 of them (although not ideal for a couple). Sunday night doesn't work because I'm hoping to have the Payton Draft on Sunday night.
3 people have said Saturday night is a non runner for them, so has anyone any objections if we move to a midweek night at approx 8-30 to 9pm? I realise I can't please everyone, but at the same time I want to give the most people the chance to partake in the draft I can. Midweek nights seem to be acceptable, if not ideal, for most people?

At a guess - L'esprit are in Ireland, Coolera is Ireland, GBB is Ireland, Ballyhaise bills is Ireland I think, I'm Ireland, Rossies are Ireland, Vikings I think are Ireland too?, Clowns are Ireland, and I think Helmets and Forte Yr old are also Ireland.

If so, I'll move to Thursday evening of next week. How does that sound?

1 of yours????? Great stuff Seanie. Fair play. Now that's a good excuse :) How about Tuesday night? 9ish? After U6 training for me :)

Given a choice I would say Thursday would be better for me. Tuesday could be first night home so draft would not be an option as you can imagine!

Congrats Seanie . Az is the payton draft on this sunday ?

AZ, if the Jerry Rice C draft isn't on Sunday you should postpone it before then in case we all end up with autodrafted teams.

postponed dec.

Payton draft is set for this sunday, but Turk can't make it. If I get a few lads not able to be there I'll postpone, but there's always going to be one or two missing. I only moved the montana one because at least half of the people preferred it on another day.

Nobody else is screaming, but I'm not sure how many are in the States. in fairness to anyone over there, midweek is a killer unless they can lock their office or something :)

At a guess - L'esprit are in Ireland, Coolera is Ireland, GBB is Ireland, Ballyhaise bills is Ireland I think, I'm Ireland, Rossies are Ireland, Vikings I think are Ireland too?, Clowns are Ireland, and I think Helmets and Forte Yr old are also Ireland.

If so, I'll move to Thursday evening of next week. How does that sound?

I know that'd be fine with me. Outside of tomorrow night I'm good.

Sunday's great for me, if only because it's before Isaac hits and wipes out my internet connection.  AZ, when Ireland hosts the Olympics or the rugby World Cup, either you or Bud should run it.

Montana Draft has been moved to Thursday Night.

Payton Draft is still tomorrow night unless I get screams of anguish today.

Rice draft is TBD.

Just a reminder, next weekend is a drunken haze for me with the ND/Navy game and festivities above in Dublin.

OK lads, the latest story. Capt Pat's Vikings will be promoted to the A Competition, and Royal Badgers Demoted. Sorry Claw, but we need to schedule the drafts. Faithful Turfmen are taking Capt. Pat's place in the B league, which leaves  one slot to fill there, and that can be either Royal Badgers, or Puppet Master, neither of whom have sent me their email addresses. The C competition is slowly taking shape, but we need people in there ASAP please.

I am planning on doing the Montana Draft this SATURDAY night at 9pm Irish time. Planning on the Payton Draft to be Sunday at 8.00 pm Irish Time. We're too lax on the Rice League to schedule a draft yet, but it will have to be the weekend after.

OK Lads, all set for 8pm. Sorry to those who can;t make it, but we really need to get these run off. Make sure to test your system before the draft, and also make sure you are there 10 minutes or so beforehand so you can see what position you were assigned.

Cheers

Was my first draft i have taken part in, happy enough, took a couple of leaps of faith - that Cam Newton will repeat last seasons numbers and Darren McFadden will stay healthy, if he does i think he will be the top RB this year.

Right lads, Payton is all set and raring to go. Cheers to everyone who managed to attend the draft, and again apologies to the lads that it didn't suit. I suppose you can't suit everyone, so once we have a critical mass we have to go.

Montana is set to draft on Thursday night. Our draft last night only took 1 hour 15 with 7 live participants, so even if all 10 come we should be finished in 2 hours.

Now, priority number 1 for the next few days is getting 3 more teams into the Rice Conference. Heffo hasn't replied to me so I'm not sure if he is around. Puppet Master has lost his slot in Payton, so he can join this if anyone knows him, while Derry no Clues and Uibh Fhalians are encouraged to rejoin. Don't worry about mistakes last year lads. If ye like it, go for it.

Bloody typical. I was one of those who couldn't draft for Montana on Saturday night. Was happily mock drafting away on Sunday while hungover, in preparation for Thursday night.

Started a new job on Monday morning, and guess what? Work night out on Thursday! Gonna have to spend tonight doing some serious ranking!

If you are ranking, I think you should do a mock draft beforehand. Because you must remember that if we go 6 rounds in, you're going to be up to #61 potentially in overall ranking, and if you rank a kicker or defense up there, you are going to get them then. 19 rounds is all the way down to 190.

Also lads, we are up to 8 in the C league, just 2 more needed. If you know anyone who might want to join, or if Derry no Clues or Uibh Fhalians want back in, feel free. PM me their email address and I'll send the invite.

Well AZ.

I got an email yesterday saying the Gerry C was today at 04:45pm EDT.

I should ignore this right.

May be I read this wrong.

I have a late one tommorow night, and will be in the office until well after 8.30pm.
I hope there are no speed cameras on the way home because if there are i'l be getting some penalty points.

Next Monday is Labor Day in the US so any US based people, like me, most likely won't have work. I would prefer that so I don't have to spend the whole draft minimizing my window if anyone walks past.

Wasn't mad about my draft to be honest. Pretty much knew who I would be drafting anywhere from 1-7 or 8. Of course I ended up at spot 10 and it meant drafting players at the top of the draft that I didn't really want but had to take anyway if you know what I mean. Threw a spanner in the works immediately. Could have been a great draft after that but when you don't like your first couple of picks it sours you on it.

Got in done in and hour though. Thought it would take an hour and a half.

Shit. My rankings didn't work! Drafting 6th based on what was picked in front of me it should have taken Brady.

Must've set it up wrong.

Bum. There's hardly a player on my team that I would've picked.

Wasn't mad about my draft to be honest. Pretty much knew who I would be drafting anywhere from 1-7 or 8. Of course I ended up at spot 10 and it meant drafting players at the top of the draft that I didn't really want but had to take anyway if you know what I mean. Threw a spanner in the works immediately. Could have been a great draft after that but when you don't like your first couple of picks it sours you on it.

Got in done in and hour though. Thought it would take an hour and a half.

I completely understand. I was the same and got to draft at 9 in another draft last week and its not easy. I went for Larry Fitz as well in that one by the way. Think you did a solid job overall and will be one of the ones to beat as usual.

Post by: AZOffaly on August 31, 2012, 09:34:49 AM
I like drafting either 1 or 2, or failing that 9 or 10. There's a lot to be said for having 2 picks on the turn.

I was happy enough with my draft. I decided on my strategy and then used ESPNs PPR rankings to help me along. A bit disappointed in my QB situation, and that's where a late pick helps. In my other draft I got Tom Brady at 9. Then I was able to pick a good RB at 12.

Still and all, if my team were to line up in the morning against an NFL team I'd be happy :)

You're in good nick too AZ. Romo is reliable though his weapons are a bit banged up. RGIII could be great and I wanted him myself but think you nicked him before me!

Picking at the turn isn't too bad most years but this year I think there is a drop off after the first 7 or 8 players off the board. The top 4 RB's were gone, the top 3 QB's and the top WR who's on a level by himself. Means you just have to take the best of what's left which is a level below those 7 or 8 players.

Stafford and Newton were gone by the time the pick came around to me again so at that stage I figured I might as well just wait to pick a QB later. Took a gamble on Peyton Manning but knew I had to back him up quickly with someone decent like Roethlisberger as who knows what shape Manning will be in if he takes a bad hit.
Title: Re: NFL Fantasy Football - GAABoard Superbowl VIII - Kickoff
Post by: Capt Pat on August 31, 2012, 03:59:54 PM
That is true about a drop off after 7 or 8 players. Fitz needs a decent QB to be elite and McFadden is risky. Peterson and Jones Drew would also have been good top ten picks if they didn't have their different issues.

I took both the Johnsons who should bounce back after poor years. Vick and the eagles will be better this year too. I had Cruz ranked 13 on my board and got him at 27

Turner at 47 was a steal I thought. He has an easy schedule in terms of run defenses this year but he doesn't make catches in a ppr league. I was also happy with McGahee who may get more catches this year in a hopefully explosive offense with Peyton throwing the ball.

Post by: Capt Pat on August 31, 2012, 08:17:31 PM
I can only speak for myself but I took a back up running back McGahee and back up QB Rivers over a starting tight end as O knew I could get Tamme and Rudolph for the tight end slot later on. Rivers and McGahee I figured were more important players. Only the computer auto pick fills all the starting slots first.

Rivers is too good to be a backup QB in my book. Think he will be top 8 QB this year.

If anyone missed the draft they can at least still pick ip some good defensive plauers on waivers.

Post by: AZOffaly on September 04, 2012, 01:17:25 PM
Don't know. Remind me again? Players are not available from the time of the first game to Tuesday morning, isn't that what we said? That makes it fair for people who are not in America/not online as the games are being played, and not seeing star RBs getting rolled off into the long grass.

I've submitted a query for that issue.

Seanie, Wednesday is correct, basically players will be on Waivers (as opposed to Free Agents) from the first game of the week until Tuesday. This week that is Wednesday night.

I'm having the same issue with players - I can look up offensive guys, but when I go trying to recruit a DB, it doesn't let me see any. And of course, like an eejit, I dropped one that was on the team, so I've an empty roster slot now....

AZ can we change that this year so that all players are not locked and just the ones from the Wednesday night matches?? It really is a balls to not be able pick up a free agent if a player is injured before the weekend. It is just a case of changing the "Waiver rules" under settings to "Sunday to Tuesday". This will benefit everyone in the league

O Neill you can change up to the start of the games.

Lads, this is from the site..

Use these settings to give everyone in the league a fair chance at picking up players. Sunday - Tuesday means all unowned players will be placed on waivers at 10:00am PT each Sunday with the claim period ending at 11:59pm PT on Tuesday. First game of the week - Tuesday means all unowned players will be placed on waivers at the start of the first game for that week with the claim period ending at 11:59pm PT on Tuesday. Game Time means all unowned players will be placed on waivers at the scheduled start time of their game. In Game Time Waivers, players on a bye week will be placed on waivers Monday night at 5:30pm pacific time.

I reckon game time to Tuesday would be the fairest. It means that they go on waivers from the time they play until Tuesday.

OK, I'll set that so. As I understand it, this means all Free Agents will be placed on waivers from the time THEIR respective games start until Tuesday, when everyone comes off Waivers again.

First game tonight remember, best of luck :)

+1 despite loosing . Had a few great pickups last week , The patriots and Michael Bush however had a shite return on my defensive players need a win next week. I find that i'm watching the redzone all the time and not the matches.

I like the look of Atlanta and Ryan could have a good season.

I'm not sure about the rest of my team.  Trying to offload some of my defensive players.

Yes, Julio Jones a good pick up.

Red Hand Helmets got the better of me easily enough.

Yeah that's what I thought but somebody picked up Alfred Morris today. Didn't think that was possible. Just curious as I thought I was missing something.

I picked up that Morris fella this morning. I logged in to set up my waiver claims and only noticed these guys were free agents when they ended up on me team instead of the claim going in. At the time there were a mixture of Free agents and waiver players, Cowboys Ogletree and Randall Cobb were definitely on waivers...
Not sure whats happened now as all players are gone on waivers again...

Arrah lads, how did I miss this?

Fred Jax and Mark Ingram were my lead backs in a 16-team league and both managed 1.5 points each. At least Fred had the excuse of an injury but the fact CJ Spiller racked up almost 200 yards form scrimmage and a TD in relief makes it even worse.

I have Megatron, Marshall and Bowe and no handcuff for Fred so I'm feeling like I may have to give up one of Megatron and Marshall to fix the gaping hole at RB. Was giddy at the prospect of that WR corps too.

I intend to, even though I have a feeling Marshall could have the better year overall. Cutler is in absolute lovey-dovey mode with his old team-mate and the Bears have just about no one that will vulture his looks. Megatron is going to be triple marked plenty of times this year, and although he's still going to make plenty of hay I'd be surprised if he exceeds last season, particularly in fantasy terms with all those TDs. I was beside myself that I got both, really.

Da Bears loss last night was bad enough and then I realise I am playing against Tramon Williams AND Clay feckin Matthews (just the 33 combined points!) in fantasy. Uphill task already to put it mildly.

Had tried to pick up Spiller last week in the waivers but the teamaying tonight got him ahead of me and he puts up 25 odd point plus Eli has about 2 points for nearly 3/4 s of the game and finishes with 27points and to make matters worse i leave ben tate on the bench because he got feck all game time last week and low and behold he puts up 20 points.  It's going to be a long season

I think that there is a huge flaw in the scoring. The idea should be to pick the best players you can find, however in reality your job is to find the single worst starting cornerback in the league.

Worst cornerback in the league could get no points, i.e. not even be close enough to tackle a receiver. Elite corners aren't worth a toss alright, I assume that's what you're getting at? Wouldn't call that a huge flaw, just a difference between the real and fantasy game. Elite fullbacks like Vonta Leach are no use in fantasy either but are invaluable to their teams.

I think where Heganboy is coming From Seanie  is see which Corners are giving away most scores and try to pick wide receivers or Qb that will be playing against them it they aren't allready picked by another team in the league , then again i could be completley wrong  :D Anyway i had my 1st win this season

That is the way the nfl is going this year. There have been a lot of random and unpredictable results and that is the same for fantasy performances as well. My top two picks Chris and Andre Johnson are dragging my team down but I hope and expect that will change.

Cornerbacks get points for tackles. Pick a crap starter who will get targeted a lot, they'll make 10 tackles bringing down their WR after a gain of 15... Loads of points.
Pick a top cornerback that a QB can't get a pass near and bingo, no points...
If you're starting 2 crap corners you're golden, But they must start...

I would be fairly optimistic of the Browns, not this season though, rookie QB, rookie RB (who could be great) rookie RT and couple of rookie receivers. Phil Taylor to come back healthy next year at DT.

There is nobody available that can put up those consistent points. In a ten team league everyone has a strong bench and nobody trades. In a 12 team league most teams only have 2-3 strong players and then its a strategy and knowledge game to trade and pickup players. Now its about the draft.

People should trade but you have to make a trade mutually beneficial. Don't offer a RB to a guy who is covered there etc. As for consistent points at WR - look at Julio Jones for example. MEGABeast this week, hardly a factor last week. There are fliers that you can take that will get you by if you really dig deep (and get a little lucky!).

Ben Roethlisberger has just today been awarded a TD that originally was credited as a lateral to Mendenhall, and thus a rushing TD. It might have implications in some close games last weekend that had Big Ben at QB.

Looks like they took a catch away from Jamaal Charles. Must have been ruled a catch on the day but now gone to a backwards pass and ruled as a rushing attempt.

RG3 is some buachaill. I was on the road to defeat most likely anyway when he broke off his 76 yard run for his second TD of the game. Small consolation that I have him in my friends/family league and it confirmed my win over the brother (unless McGahee goes loo-laa tonight altogether).

I traded Dwayne Bowe, Fred Jackson, Pierre Thomas and Darrius Heyward-Bay for Tony Romo and Percy Harvin in one of my 16-team leagues. Salivating at the prospect of being able to field Harvin, Brandon Marshall and Megatron together and buying low on Romo should fix my QB issues - I've been forced to play Josh Freeman almost exclusively this season.

A good deal for you. I wouldn't think Pierre Thomas or Heyward-Bey are usable even in a 16 team league other than maybe in desperation in a bye week.
Title: Re: NFL Fantasy Football - GAABoard Superbowl VIII - Kickoff
Post by: Syferus on October 18, 2012, 01:40:42 PM
Well Thomas has been good for seven or so points on average and I know first hand from drafting Ingram how much of a bust he was this season, he's really a depth signing - someone dropped him, but with the dearth of RBs he should be owned. Heywerd-Bay is a decent bench/bye week player with Palmer likely having to throw often because Oakland are so bad. The person I'm trading with is 2-4 and has absolutely no depth outside of at QB so that's why i offered him those players.

Bowe is the master of junk-time, though, and is a realistic WR1 option every week. I've draft him the last three years in any league I could and I've never looked back at the choice disappointed.

First up, in the Montana Conference the Ballyhaise Bills lead the way on 61, but there are no fewer than 5 teams within 2 games of the leaders, including the top Halas team, Capt. Pat's Vikings on 5-2. If the season were to finish today the #1 Seed would be the Bills, and they would face the #4 Faithful Turfmen 'B', while the #2 Vikings would play the #3 Red Hand Helmets. A long way to go yet. Our champions from last year is in serious bother, propping up the table in the Halas Division on a 1-6 record, which is good for #9 overall.
Vince Lombardi Division
1.    Ballyhaise Bills                   6-1-0    .857    4-0-0    964.58    831.39
4.    Faithful Turfmen B              4-3-0    .571    3-1-0    963.03    884.23
7.    Coolera Bears                      3-4-0    .429    2-2-0    830.64    942.15
8.    Galway Bay Tribesmen      2-5-0    .286    1-3-0    841.94    838.84
10.    Forte Yr Old Virgins              1-6-0    .143    0-4-0    825.46    932.70
George Halas Division
2.    Capt Pats Vikings              5-2-0    .714    2-2-0    954.14    822.62
3.    Red Hand Helmets              5-2-0    .714    2-2-0    919.73    890.16
5.    Smackdown Clowns      4-3-0    .571    3-1-0    912.64    942.03
6.    Ruthless Rossies              4-3-0    .571    2-2-0    886.15    863.20
9.    L'Esprit de Biff                      1-6-0    .143    1-3-0    859.20    1010.19


In the Walter Payton conference, Oraisteach's Browns (6-1 in the Allen Division) and Rufus Bess Squad (6-1 in the Madden Division) lead the way, and in this conference the leaders have a little breathing space. Of course a couple of weeks can make a big difference, but as of now there's clear daylight between the leaders and a cohort on 4-3 and 3-4. In the hypothetical playoffs the #1 Browns would play the #4 Royal Badgers, while the #2 Rufus Bess Squad would play the #3 Hegan's Helmets. As it stands, 3 of the 4 semifinalists would be from the George Allen division.

John Madden Division
2.    Rufus Bess squad             6-1-0    .857    3-1-0    860.02    735.46    W-1    
5.    Craigyhill Terrors             3-4-0    .429    3-1-0    854.79    833.46    L-1    
6.    NEW YORK JETS VI             3-4-0    .429    2-2-0    847.74    854.38    W-1    
8.    Faithful Turfmen             2-5-0    .286    1-3-0    885.78    913.73    W-2
9.    Mayo Warriors                  2-5-0    .286    1-3-0    882.61    999.50    L-3    
George Allen Division
1.    Oraisteach's Browns    6-1-0    .857    3-1-0    1099.24    946.04    W-4    
3.    hegan's helmets            4-3-0    .571    3-1-0    924.86    990.25    L-2    
4.    Royal Badgers                    4-3-0    .571    3-1-0    801.47    839.02    W-3    
7.    North Antrim Nuggets    3-4-0    .429    1-3-0    773.41    798.61    L-1    
10.    Savage Bears                    2-5-0    .286    0-4-0    871.84    891.31    L-2    


Finally, in the Jerry Rice 'C' Championship, we have another tight race with 8 teams within 2 games of the lead. Our leaders are the Big Apple Orchards (5-2 in the Bill Belichick Division) and The Curragh Rams (5-2 in the Andy Reid Division). We have 3 other teams on 4-3 and 3 more on 3-4 and the teams bringing up the rear are on 2-5 themselves. A semi final today would see the #1 Orchards against #4 Hoboken Celtics, and the #2 Rams taking their Kildare talents to the #3 Crossmaglen Hitmen.

Bill Belichick Division
1.    Big Apple Orchards            5-2-0    .714    2-2-0    896.37    797.17    W-5
3.    Crossmaglen Hitmen    4-3-0    .571    3-1-0    888.33    844.21    L-1

Hanging in there like a loose button despite the lowest aggregate score in the league. Chuffed to get a win with Jonathan Dwyer and Felix Jones filling in for my regular starters who I stupidly drafted with the same bye week. Matt Stafford owed me that one though I had him on the bench in another league where my bench outscored my team and also my opponent!

Jordy Nelson is available for a trade for a RB in the Montana.

From Yahoo.... Appropriate name for the lad.

Dear Yahoo! Fantasy Users,

I want to sincerely apologize to all of you about today's Yahoo! Sports Fantasy outage. As the head of Yahoo! Sports and as a Yahoo! Sports fantasy player myself, I am disappointed that we failed all of our fans today. Our first priority is having the best experience for our users, and today we fell short.

The outage started around Noon ET (awful timing we know) and while our team was on it immediately we are still working on various pieces. Our team is continuing to work on identifying and resolving the root cause. We have restored full functionality on the website, and we're working for a final fix for our mobile apps. Currently data and scores can be viewed but for now you cannot make transactions or change line-ups from the apps.

We will also use today as an opportunity to improve our set-up so that we hopefully never have an outage like this again. Our fantasy commissioners and players are our biggest priority - we pride ourselves in being able to offer our users with the best fantasy sports experience possible and we take our job to deliver that to you very seriously. Rest assured we will work hard to make sure we continue to deliver on that commitment.

Thanks for playing with us and your patience today,

Ken Fuchs
Head of Yahoo! Sports

My highest points total of a really tough year where I'm scrambling for points/players every week. A win would have put me well in the mix but my low points total is effectively another loss so I'm struggling. Danny Woodhead sickened me too! FFS!

Well lads, we are getting near crunch time now. 10 weeks down, 4 regular season weeks left, and a lot of issues still up in the air.

Firstly, in the Montana Superbowl Conference, a mere 2 games covers an incredible 7 teams. With 4 weeks to go, and 4 places still up for grabs, anything could happen here. Two huge games this week as Capt. Pats Vikings take on fellow 7-3 team Red Hand Helmets while the Coolera Bears will need a win against the 6-4 Ballyhaise Bills in another cracker.

Vince Lombardi Division
2.    Ballyhaise Bills                    6-4-0    .600    4-1-0    1377.15    1297.39    L-3    5    22
4.    Faithful Turfmen B            6-4-0    .600    3-2-0    1396.26    1297.43    W-2    3    18
7.    Coolera Bears                    5-5-0    .500    2-2-0    1217.38    1301.71    L-1    9    27
8.    Galway Bay Tribesmen    4-6-0    .400    2-3-0    1312.23    1163.67    L-1    10    46
10.    Forte Yr Old Virgins            2-8-0    .200    1-4-0    1172.42    1296.83    L-2    1    10
George Halas Division
1.    Red Hand Helmets             7-3-0    .700    3-2-0    1274.34    1312.07    W-1    6    13
3.    Capt Pats Vikings             7-3-0    .700    3-2-0    1269.82    1128.66    W-1    4    25
5.    Smackdown Clowns     5-5-0    .500    3-2-0    1272.22    1364.14    L-1    8    49
6.    Ruthless Rossies             5-5-0    .500    2-2-0    1260.85    1273.00    W-1    2    35
9.    L'Esprit de Biff                     3-7-0    .300    1-4-0    1193.95    1311.72    W-2    7    30


The Walter Payton B conference is no less intriguing, although there is a bit more daylight between the top 2 and the rest. Rufus Bess Squad holds the league lead on 8-2, while Oraisteach's Browns are a game behind on 7-3. Barring a major collapse, both of these teams should see post season play. Who rounds out the other 2 spots is less certain. At 6-4, the hegan's helmets hold 3rd place, while 5-5 is good enough for 4th place on points scored for the Royal Badgers. Everyone else in the league, right down to 10th place 3-7 Craigyhill Terrors will feel they are not out of it yet, and in fact there are 7 teams within 2 games of 4th place.

John Madden Division
1.    Rufus Bess squad    8-2-0    .800    4-1-0    1282.75    1134.82    L-1    8    37
5.    NEW YORK JETS VI    5-5-0    .500    2-2-0    1171.43    1153.73    W-2    5    52
6.    Mayo Warriors            4-6-0    .400    2-3-0    1288.94    1368.57    W-1    9    35
7.    Faithful Turfmen    4-6-0    .400    1-4-0    1287.31    1235.34    W-2    4    14
10.    Craigyhill Terrors    3-7-0    .300    3-2-0    1099.76    1229.23    L-4    1    1
George Allen Division
2.    Oraisteach's Browns    7-3-0    .700    3-2-0    1463.05    1376.11    W-1    10    29
3.    hegan's helmets            6-4-0    .600    4-1-0    1327.25    1334.99    W-1    7    22
4.    Royal Badgers             5-5-0    .500    3-2-0    1197.24    1170.21    L-1    6    16
8.    Savage Bears                    4-6-0    .400    1-4-0    1218.75    1241.06    L-1    3    26
9.    North Antrim Nuggets    4-6-0    .400    1-3-0    1065.39    1157.81    L-2    2    7

Lastly, in the Jerry Rice C Championship, there are 8 teams within 3 games of the lead, and 3 teams locked on 7-3 at the top of the tree. Big Apple Orchards, Curragh Rams and Purple People Eaters occupy the top 3, while the 6-4 Hitmen are in 4th at the moment. 4th to 8th is covered by 2 games (6-4 to 4-6) so again, a huge amount to play for here.

Bill Belichick Division
1.    Big Apple Orchards            7-3-0    .700    3-2-0    1266.91    1173.23    L-1    7    15
4.    Crossmaglen Hitmen    6-4-0    .600    4-1-0    1250.85    1169.71    L-1    10    40

Close, Deel.  You're not joking.  Won by 1/10 of a point to a short-staffed Terrors team.  Was afraid to comment on it and jinx it lest the stat correction crew adjust it and determine that Isaac Redman had fallen a blade of grass short on his final run.  Still, after losing by less than 1/2 a point to the Badgers early in the season, I'm glad to have escaped with a win on a bye week.  You had a great scoring week yourself--56 pts. from two tight ends.  Very nice.

Yeah was delighted with that . The Broncos had given up the most points against tight ends so decided to take a chance playing Olsen instead of Brandon LLyod and luckily it paid off.

Andre Johnson had 273 yards tonight just when I needed it in the big matchup between  Red hand helmets and myself. Dez Bryant also had a big night and Brandon Myers of Oakland is a strong emerging late season performer at tightend. I might get the win here.

Are the community teams and leagues e.g. if Denn was in the US, would there be a Denn junior American football team?

there are loads of underage school teams, parish teams and the like. there are also travelling teams of amateurs who just love the game and compete against other teams (former high school players and friends get together) kind of like local soccer teams who compete in in leagues in their county etc....

started reading those recaps after the gameweek is over, never noticed them before but shows how much luck has to do with winning....•''If they played the same schedule as NEW YORK JETS VI, Mayo Warriors would be 7-2.''•they were 4-7 at the time

Darn you, caiphas50! That farting sound you heard was my self-esteem puncturing.  And me deluded that I was a manager of extraordinary talent.

No, you're dead right.  You can draft all the talent you like, but you can do squat against your opponent's point total.  For example, JETS VI have yielded 1394 points, but that porous Mayo Warrior defense has allowed a league-leading 1621 points--over 200 points more.

You're already safely in the playoffs since putting me to the sword last week. Barring a career day from Owen Daniels later ill be done for the season. Funnily enough i went into this weekend with a shot at the playoffs and also a chance of relegation.
I know it was mentioned here last week about getting a bit of luck with the schedule, from last weeks recap of our matchup "Capt Pats Vikings would be 4-7 if they played the same schedule as Smackdown Clowns". Hold on tight to that 10-3 record...

I had a reasonable year all told, especially after a rocky beginning. I've qualified for the semi finals in the 'A' competition, where Captain Pat will have an immediate chance for revenge :)

In the B Competition, I ended up in 6th place despite having the 3rd best points tally, and in the C competition I was also in 6th place, with the second best tally.

I'm happy enough to be honest. Pity work has been so busy, I'm up in Dublin 4 days a week. Otherwise I'd have been doing my reports and all :)

6-8 is about as good as I could have hope for given my draft which was a bit of a disaster when I look back on it. 3 of my top 4 picks were Larry Fitz, Greg Jennings and Antonio Gates who were all complete non-factors all season long. Managed to work the wire to salvage respectability and even managed to score the 3rd most points overall in the end. Still only got me 6 wins though.

How does relegation work? Bottom of each division down or is there a play-off between them?

In my other league I went 11-1 regular season and lost by 0.25 in the playoff this weekend, when Ray Rice, Doug Martin and Demaryius Thomas combined for 4 points


Unbelievably and just to add insult to injury had I started and benched any other combination of players on my roster I had the win.

That pretty much sums up fantasy football. Happened to me a couple of years ago. Scoring heavily all season and they put up their lowest score of the season in the first round of the playoffs and you're dumped out.

No Seanie, you're ok. You finished in 5th place in the regular season. Only the top 4 playoffs really matter. The others are just 'games'. Like College Bowl games :)

The Montana Final is between the red hot Ballyhaise Bills, the #1 seed, and the hopelessly overmatched Faithful Turfmen 'B'. The #2 seed Capt Pats Vikings fell to the Turfmen two weeks in a row, while the #4 seed Red Hand Helmets met their waterloo at the hands of the Bills.

Relegated from the Montana Conference (assuming we keep the same format next year) are
7th placed Galway Bay Tribesmen
8th Placed, and last years champion, L'Esprit de Biff
9th Placed Ruthless Rossies and
10th Placed Forte Year Old Virgins.

Worth noting that three of those relegated had at least 5 wins each, so tough competition.


The Payton Final sees Oraisteach's Browns, the #1 seed and conquerers of the #4 Rufus Bess Squad, take on the #2 seed New York Jets VI. The Jets saw off the #3 hegan's helmets in the semi. All 4 of these are earmarked to make the step up to the Montana Conference next week, and I reckon that is two straight promotions for the Browns.

Relegated into the Rice Championship next year are
7th - Savage Bears, who came up last year
8th - Craigyhill Terrors
9th - Mayo Warriors and
10th - North Antrim Nuggets

In the Rice Conference Final, the seedings were completely reversed as the #3 The Curragh Rams overcame #2 Crossmaglen Hitmen to book their place against the #4 Big Apple Orchards. The Orchards took down the #1 seed Purple People Eaters.

Again, all 4 semi finalists are due to progress up to the Payton Championship, while the good news for Hoboken Celtics, O'Neill's Chargers, Pats & Dubs and Bacon Sanger Please is that there is no 'D' conference :)

Best of luck in the finals everyone..

That's good and it's what I thought but then I got a little worried! Threw in a few hail Mary candidates last week that I'd never do in a serious game and I saw why I'd never do it usually.

Lost out on playoffs by less than 25 points but the way last weekend went I would have been trounced so no major problem. In another league that I'm commissioner of I almost recovered from a disastrous first leg of a semi final but went down by 6 points thanks in large part to Reggie Wayne (forgiven - carried me all year) and Danario Alexander (grrrr - had him on bench previous week when he scored 20+) who combined for 1.4 points. I have/had a really good team in that one and they have great matchups this weekend....(I know no-one cares but getting it out is therapeutic).

Now the 9 month drought commences. Crap.

Well, it may be a crap year for the Cardinals, but after 8 years of trying, the Faithful Turfmen B team are finally champions of the World. Well the GAABoard World anyway :)

It was a serious underdog win in the final, as Adrian Peterson and Arian Foster didn't really do the business at all for the Bills, while Roddy White came through in a big way for the Turfmen. Ironically the Cardinals ineptitude almost gave the Bills a way back in as the Bears Defence made hay against Arizona, but the Cardinals just stopped from stinking bad enough to keep the Turfmen ahead.

Hard luck to the Bills who had a great season, but I'm delighted to finally break my duck, and keep the title in Offaly after L'Esprit de Biff's win last year. :)


Well done also to the Walter Payton Champions Oraisteach's Browns, and the Jerry Rice Champions Big Apple Orchards.


I hope everyone enjoyed playing, and see ye all again next season. Enjoy the real football and the Playoffs.

Happy Christmas all. And Go Turfmen!

Cheers. I actually blundered in the selections this week. Romo deserved his starting place, but I didn't trust him and went with RGIII instead. I also had serious reservations about Sproles, but he came up big last night instead of my starter, Ridley. In fairness I was lucky that Peterson and Foster had poor days.

One thing I did different this year was really try to pay attention to defensive players each week. I rotated defenders a lot, and it made a difference a few weeks. I barely made the playoffs in a tight division, so every point helped.

Well done AZ - extremely hard to win this competition so you've a right to feel chuffed. You keep yourself in contention though and eventually you'll get the breaks, that's what I keep telling myself anyway!

Well done to all the other winners and competitors too. The NFL season is just too short!

Right lads. It's 2013 and the scene is set for the GAABOard Superbowl IX. You should all have got invites from Yahoo to renew, although some lads will have to regrade when we get all the teams signed up. Teh 4 relegated teams will have to reregister in the 'B' Championship, and likewise into the C Championshipm and obviously vice versa with the promoted teams.

Anyone have any requests to run by the board regarding rules etc?

Anyone have any preferred draft dates etc?

Cheers AZ. I'll have to start studying now. I find firstrowsports.eu good for streaming games and watching the NFL Network. It's all free but the quality wouldn't be as good. During the season I try to avoid the results and download the games I want to see on the Tuesday from Pirate Bay. I love watching Inside the NFL with Phil Simms and Cris Collinsworth. Brilliant analysis and they're hilarious too.

Loads of websites have loads of info but I guess you mightn't have time to read up on it if you have a draft soon. Pick one or two sources that seems to make sense and get copies of their rankings/cheat sheets and work from there. These rankings basically are their opinion of how valauable players are overall and by position. Make sure to do a few mock drafts. It doesn't matter who you pick but it gets you used to the system and what will be on screen when you're picking. Actually that last bit is the best bit of advice.

Apologies AZ but could you remove my team, Galway Asals, from the league. I can't get the draft window to open on my laptop. I tried doing a mock draft as it seems pretty complex. Also as I'm 7 hours ahead and working fairly long hours it would be tricky to work out a time. I tried to delete the team myself but couldn't figure out how to do it. Cheers, anyway.

Lads, the rest of ye who are talking about removing, you don't necessarily have to be online for the draft, you can just pre-rank and take your chances if you want. If you still want to leave PM me.

OK, at the moment we have ....

10 teams in Montana, but 4 of these (Smackdown Clowns; Coolera Bears; Ruthless Rossies and Forte Year Olde Virgins) must face the dreaded drop into the Payton 'B' Championship. So lads, if ye could PM me your email addresses, I'll remove ye from A and invite ye to B.

6 teams currently in Payton. However Oraisteach's Browns, New York Jets VI, Rufus Bess Squad and hegan's helmets have earned their way up into the A competition. So can ye 4 lads PM me email addresses, and I'll remove ye from B and invite ye to A.

Conversely Craigyhill Terrors, Savage Bears, Mayo Warriors and North Antrim Nuggets must go back to the Rice 'C' Championship, so likewise lads, please PM me a current email address..

Finally in the C division we have 9 lads entered, with a couple of new lads (WELCOME!). However good news for 4 teams there too. So can the owners of The Curragh Rams,  Crossmaglen Hitmen, Big Apple Orchards and Purple People Eaters PM me with email addresses too please.

I'm thinking of drafting in a hurry in the last two weeks, starting next weekend. C, then B, then A.

One of these days I'd love to do a gathering with a live draft over beers :)

Finally, one potential rule change. Promotion and relegation with 4 spots means quite a lot of change. Do people like that, or would it be better to have 2 up 2 down?

No Seanie, you're ok. You finished in 5th place in the regular season. Only the top 4 playoffs really matter. The others are just 'games'. Like College Bowl games :)

The Montana Final is between the red hot Ballyhaise Bills, the #1 seed, and the hopelessly overmatched Faithful Turfmen 'B'. The #2 seed Capt Pats Vikings fell to the Turfmen two weeks in a row, while the #4 seed Red Hand Helmets met their waterloo at the hands of the Bills.

Relegated from the Montana Conference (assuming we keep the same format next year) are
7th placed Galway Bay Tribesmen
8th Placed, and last years champion, L'Esprit de Biff
9th Placed Ruthless Rossies and
10th Placed Forte Year Old Virgins.

Worth noting that three of those relegated had at least 5 wins each, so tough competition.


The Payton Final sees Oraisteach's Browns, the #1 seed and conquerers of the #4 Rufus Bess Squad, take on the #2 seed New York Jets VI. The Jets saw off the #3 hegan's helmets in the semi. All 4 of these are earmarked to make the step up to the Montana Conference next week, and I reckon that is two straight promotions for the Browns.

Relegated into the Rice Championship next year are
7th - Savage Bears, who came up last year
8th - Craigyhill Terrors
9th - Mayo Warriors and
10th - North Antrim Nuggets

In the Rice Conference Final, the seedings were completely reversed as the #3 The Curragh Rams overcame #2 Crossmaglen Hitmen to book their place against the #4 Big Apple Orchards. The Orchards took down the #1 seed Purple People Eaters.

Again, all 4 semi finalists are due to progress up to the Payton Championship, while the good news for Hoboken Celtics, O'Neill's Chargers, Pats & Dubs and Bacon Sanger Please is that there is no 'D' conference :)

Best of luck in the finals everyone..

Here you go.

OK lads, we need to pull up our socks on this big time (My fault I know). We need to have 3 drafts run off before next Thursday. I'm proposing a draft this week, one at the weekend, and maybe one early next week. (Monday night).

The draft order will depend on which league fills up first...

Montana Conference - We are short the Rufus Bess Squad and New York Jets VI..  If I have a PM, I'll resend the invites, if not, I'll assume ye are not interested and will offer your place to someone else tomorrow evening. If I haven't a PM from you, send one ASAP please...

Payton Conference - The one with the most problems... We have 6 lads still not joined. If you are the owner of Galway Bay Tribesmen, Ruthless Rossies, Forte Year Old Virgins, Curragh Rams, Big Apple Orchards or Purple People Eaters, please PM me ASAP. I know a couple of ye have already, so look out for your invite now.

Rice - We are missing the Savage Bears, Craigyhill Terrors and North Antrim Nuggets, but we have 8 teams in, so only 2 places left for these 3. Also we have cadhlacian looking to join too, so get back to me ASAP..

Cheers, we'll sort this out today if possible,...

Post by: AZOffaly on August 28, 2013, 01:29:50 PM
Right lads, bit of an update.

In the A championship, all invites are out, and 8 of the 10 teams are in, and I'm expecting ceiphas and turk to join up today, so we should be good to go.

The B Championship has 6/10 joined, with invites sent to Ruthless Rossies and Curragh Rams.  Awaiting a response from Forte Year Old Virgins and Purple People eaters.

The C Championship is fully subscribed, well done lads. 10/10 in. "My Team" seems to be the nomenclature for Craigyhill Terrors this year, so the only lad not in this, that should be is Muck Savage.

Muck Savage, you were relegated from Division B, but in Seventh place. Given that the C division is full, I will renege on your relegation if you get back to me today.

If everyone invited to the B championship joins today, we;ll have no room for poor Muck Savage, so I'm going to suggest expanding the C division to a 12 team league, with cadhlacian also invited as someone who wanted to join.


So. C is ready to draft unless we add Muck Savage and cadhlacian to the C division.

B needs 4 more lads to join. 2 invited, 2 non responsive as of yet. If no response comes by this evening, I will invite Muck Savage and Craigyhill Terrors (7th and 8 last year) to remain in B, and will invite cadhlacian to C.

A is ready to draft when turk and ceiphas get the finger out.

Clear as mud? Nearly there lads...

Right lads, Montana is ready to draft. How does tomorrow night sound? About 8ish Irish time?

The B Championship is still our worst set up. We have 3 slots still open, but Forte and Curragh Rams have been invited and seem set to join. The problem now is what to do with Muck Savage (who did respond ages ago in fairness and needs to be either in B or C. If we add him to B, along with Forte and Rams, that will sort out the B championship (there was no word from the Purple People Eaters).

However if we do that we have an issue with cadhlacian who has joined the C championship, giving us 11.

Does anyone else want to join? If so I'll put you in C, and add MS to B and we'll have 3 divisions of 10,10,12.

Anyway, A lads, proposed draft tomorrow @ 8 Irish.

That's 10, 10 and 11. So we need 1 more in C.

Lads, anyone else for a slot in the Rice Championship. Hopefully Dinny is about to join the B, and I'm going to invite Muck Savage to that as well now.

That's 10, 10 and 11. So we need 1 more in C.

Done

Ara you're such a drama queen :) Pull in and have a pint somewhere :)

With the wife and two kids on the way to the in laws? Drama alright.

Will go with whatever suits most people but would suggest Sunday tea-time as an alternative.

I'll take the extra slot in C if you need me too. When's it's draft (I've another one Sunday night).

Right lads, Montana is ready to draft. How does tomorrow night sound? About 8ish Irish time?

The B Championship is still our worst set up. We have 3 slots still open, but Forte and Curragh Rams have been invited and seem set to join. The problem now is what to do with Muck Savage (who did respond ages ago in fairness and needs to be either in B or C. If we add him to B, along with Forte and Rams, that will sort out the B championship (there was no word from the Purple People Eaters).

However if we do that we have an issue with cadhlacian who has joined the C championship, giving us 11.

Does anyone else want to join? If so I'll put you in C, and add MS to B and we'll have 3 divisions of 10,10,12.

Anyway, A lads, proposed draft tomorrow @ 8 Irish.

Could we do the 'B' draft tonight at 9pm Irish?

A draft tomorrow night at 9pm Irish?

C draft Wednesday at 9pm Irish?

We don't have that many slots really at this stage.

Tonight, Tomorrow Night, Sunday is out, Monday Night, Tuesday is out, Wednesday Night.

Apart from Dinny.. D rating from Yahoo. Not bad for an autopick though

Draft Grade: D
Ouch. Prove these ratings wrong by nominating yourself for the Toyota Hall of Fame.

Selecting in the bottom half of the first round (seventh overall), The Curragh Rams was unable to conjure up any fantasy magic. With a projected record of 3-11-0 (1,521 points), they're picked to finish ninth in Walter Payton 'B' Championship League. With five RBs on the roster, The Curragh Rams might have opted for quantity over quality at that spot; their RBs are projected to average 123 points this season, fewer than the league average of 140. They ended up with one of the least prolific sets of WRs in the league, as they picked up Victor Cruz, Torrey Smith and Ryan Broyles for their fantasy stable.

The Season Ahead
Week 9 might require some waiver-wire magic from the coach of The Curragh Rams. Among all weeks this season, it has both their largest number of players (6) and projected fantasy points on bye. From a projected points standpoint, they have the hardest slate in the league. Along with the most grueling overall schedule, both the first four games and last four games of the season are about league-average difficulty for The Curragh Rams. An especially difficult stretch might begin in Week 4, when The Curragh Rams battles the projected top-tier teams for two straight games.

Draft Notes
Best Position: The Curragh Rams has three above-average positions with K (10.5% above the league positional average) and QB (7.0%) projected to lead the way.
On Autopilot: Picking starting RBs should be an academic exercise most weeks for The Curragh Rams, as there's a healthy projected points difference between their third-ranked (Stevan Ridley) and fourth-ranked (Bernard Pierce) RBs.
Up and Comers: Assembling a squad of rising stars is key to fantasy success and The Curragh Rams may have done just that, with five players estimated to top their last-season numbers by a substantial amount.
Cream of the Crop: At three different roster spots, The Curragh Rams picked up projected top-2 players (including Aaron Rodgers, Matt Bryant, and Seattle).
Consistency Is My Middle Name: With nine consistent players among their 19 picks, The Curragh Rams is looking for reliable help.
Ending with a Whimper: The Curragh Rams didn't end the night the way they might have liked, ending up with the fewest projected points in the league over the second half of the draft.

I dont think so Norf. But you should have a look at the NFLUK one. You pick 8 players each week based on how you think they will do that weekend. Scoring is a lot more straightforward (yards and TDs for QB's, WRs RB and TE) Sacks and turnovers for your defence. You can have a totally different 8 each week. There is a salary cap however. I like it and its ideal for someone with a passing interest.

OK, that's all the drafts wrapped up for 2013. I hope everyone enjoyed preparing for them, and enjoyed taking part in them. Of course now the real fun starts, and as I said in the last draft room, make sure you keep an eye on the wiaver wire and the free agents throughout the year. Receiver especially was really deep this year, and there will be high point producers available for pickup as we go along.

Anyway, best of luck, and here we go, remember the first game is TOMORROW NIGHT. Happy Pigskin Day....

That was unreal. Jsut watched it there on Game Pass (The condensed verison). They absolutely tore the Ravens a new one.Wes Welker looks like he played with Manning for the last 10 years. Shaping up to be a big AFC showdown between the Pats and the Broncos, even at this early stage.

Post by: Oraisteach on September 06, 2013, 06:44:14 PM
Just to highlight the difference between fantasy leagues.  In our league, Manning scored around 46 pts, but in my other league he racked up 99.  He was drafted 2nd overall.  I, of course, had the 3rd pick.  Ballyhaise Bills have to be deleriously happy, I'd say.

Left Welker on the bench in one of my other leagues and after much contemplation started Decker as my flex in this one. In such an orgy of passing touchdowns and yardage he was pure as the driven snow. Of course my opponent has Demaryius, to rub salt in the wound. Could end up with a decent score but well beaten this week.

Eric Decker dropped 5 passes last night. He will see less action next week methinks.

I know and one was a walk in TD I believe. My opponent has a huge score this week so I was looking at a loss anyway. Decker is looking at my bench for a while....

Well week 1 is in the books, and it was the usual NFL feast of high scores, head scratching, upsets and late drama. In our leagues we had some great performances, and some who certainly fell victim to the vagaries of the NFL anything can happen truism.

Montana A Conference Week 1.

Faithful Turfmen B 103.89 - 108.39 New York Jets VII
The Jets rode the Detroit Lions duo of Matt Stafford and Reggie Bush to victory, despite a low return from standout WR Calvin Johnson in the same game. Reggie Wayne of the Colts also added a vital 18+ points in this close win, but the Turfmen could not overcome poor outings from key players like Marshawn Lynch and Trent Richardson.

hegans clowns 110.99 - 130.00 Oraisteach's Browns
The Oraisteach's Browns have taken to the big league like a duck to water. Two consecutive promotions followed by this solid outing in Week 1 will make them feel right at home in this league. Adrian Peterson and Jason Witten were the men who did most of the damage for the Browns, while Drew Brees and Vincent Jackson were the main men for the clowns.

Ballyhaise Bills 199.97 - 170.51 Smackdown Clowns
Unquestionably the high scoring tie of the week sees the Ballyhaise Bills fall just short of the 200 point mark against the poor Smackdown Clowns who must be wondering how the heck 170 points was not enough for a win. Unsurprisingly the main man for the Bills was Peyton Manning and his incredible 46 points on Thursday night, but even at that the contributions of AJ Green, Wes Welker and  LeSean McCoy were all needed to see off doughty resistance from the Clowns. The Bills can thank David Wilson's -3 points for denying them the glory of the 200 point barrier. The Clowns will hope that Michael Vick, Randall Cobb, Deshaun Jackson and excellent work from the IDPs will continue into other games where the win threshold might be a bit lower.

red hand helmets 125.06 - 124.67 Capt. Pats Vikings
If the high scoring tie was between the Bills and the Clowns, this one was the exciting tie of the week. A mere .39 of a point, or about 4 yards from a runner, separated the teams at the end as the helmets scrape through. The teams were very close coming into last nights games, and as it turned out Alfred Morris' precious 7.70 points was just enough to hold off the 10.50 points that Arien Foster amassed for Capt. Pat. Thin, thin margins indeed and lets watch for stat corrections just in case as the week progresses. Hero for the helmets was Victor Cruz, with Vernon Davis, Andrew Luck and Ray Rice also scoring heavily, but really in a game like this every catch and every yard was vital. Given that, even the single tackle made by James Harrison was vital. The Vikings will be encouraged by the displays of Aaron Rodgers and Arizona's Larry Fitzgerald for the upcoming weeks and months.

Dexter Clinkscale IV 176.93 - 131.01 Coolera Bears
The team with the daftest name in the league came up with a solid win as they celebrated their return to the big time in style. Second highest scorers in the league, they were backboned by Brandon Marshall, Demaryius Thomas, Jared Cook (the bastard) and Jordy Nelson. The Bears will be encouraged by a relatively solid spread of scores throughout the team, without any one huge contribution. Danny Amendola top scored for them with 17.20 points, but 8 roster spots returned more than the magical 10 points.


Walter Payton B Championship

Week 1 of the Walter Payton Championship saw some very good scoring, along with a couple of blowouts. The Faithful Turfmen saw off L'Esprit de Biff in a battle of Offaly teams while the Galway Bay Tribesmen had a narrow win over Kildare's finest. Big Apple Orchards had a convincing win in the battle of Armagh, while Meath took down Offaly in the Badgers win over the Bears. Finally, Tyrones Red Hernandez had a very good score and a decent win over the Rossies.

Faithful Turfmen 189.13 - 141.39 L'Esprit de Biff
Galway Bay Tribesmen 133.16 - 128.96 The Curragh Rams
Crossmaglen Hitmen 92.71 - 149.29 Big Apple Orchards
Royal Badgers 171.03 - 145.64 Savage Bears
Ruthless Rossies 117.84 - 172.38 Caught Red Hernandez

Jerry Rice 'C' Championship

Finally, the 12 team C division, which will be a very interesting watch over the year with all the new entrants trying to prove themselves, as well as the grizzled veterans trying to climb the ladder again. Top scoring honours for the week goes to Bacon Sanger Please with an impressive 178.43 points, even moreso when you consider the shallower pool of talent that a 12 team league implies. O'Neill's Chargers gets this weeks booby prize after a sad 69.34. Credit, too, to Gary O'Neill's team who had a greater than double scores victory over 'My Team' (obviously not really *my* team). That's an unusual event.

Faithful Turfmen 'C' 129.19 - 111.49 North Antrim Nuggets
Rehab is 4 Quitters 98.70 - 178.43 Bacon Sanger Please
Hoboken Celtics 121.82 - 97.14 Fighting Vincents
O'Neill's Chargers 69.34 - 123.50 Deelrovers Rad Team
My Team 83.36 - 169.98 Gary O'Neil's Team
jolene's team 111.25 - 144.46 Mayo4Sam


More next week!!!

Title: Re: NFL Fantasy Football - GAABoard Superbowl IX - The reawakening..
Post by: AZOffaly on September 10, 2013, 04:46:01 PM
Finally, in a public service announcement, if you had this team, you'd have been laughing...

QB - Payton Manning (Denver Broncos) 46.14 points.

Unreal from Manning, and a full 15.8 points better than the 2nd place quarterback. Mannings line makes some reading. 27 of 42 for 462 yards, 0 interceptions and a touchdown for every day of the week. He's on a pace for 112 touchdown passes :D

WR1 - Anquin Boldin (San Francisco 49ers) 38.80 points.

So who said Anquin Boldin was a possession receiver? With Crabtree out injured, and Kaepernick being prolific on the ground in the read option, the conventional wisdom said that 'Q' was going to be a third down sort of possession, 7 yards with a lad on his back for a first down. That may still end up being the case, however in this game he absolutely shone. 13 receptions for 208 yard (a 16 yard average) with a Touchdown made him our most productive receiver of the week.

WR2 - A.J. Green (Cincinnatti Bengals) 34.10 points.

A.J Green is in his third year in the league, out of the University of Georgia, and has lived up to his billing ever since. This week he dominated a very good corner (Charles Tillman) as he almost single handedly kept the Bengals in a game they would eventually lose. 9 catches for 132 yards and a brace of touchdowns was a great start for him and his fantasy owners. The Bengals might like a bit less out of him and more out of some of the others, but that's a different story.

RB1 - Adrian Peterson (Minnesota Vikings) 28.55 points

Adrian Peterson's nickname is AD, not AP as you might expect. It stands for 'All Day' and he is certainly a work hungry back on a Vikings team that is going to need him to be good. It looked like it might be one of those days as he broke off a big TD run early in the game, but after that he was actually held to 15 further yards on the ground for the rest of the game. However his line for the game, 93 rushing yards, 2TDs, 4 Receptions for 18 yards and 1 TD in an opening day loss to Detroit would make sweet reading for any fantasy owner lucky enough to own him. I'm sure the Vikings staff would concur.

RB2 - Joique Bell (Detroit Lions) 21.60 points

The reason why Peterson's efforts didn't end up in a win for the Vikings was due in no small part to the one two punch at running back for Detroit, as Reggie Bush and Bell combined for 43.15 points between them. And it doesn't get much more balanced that 21.6 for Bell and 21.55 for Bush. An unheralded, undrafted 2 year man out of little Wayne State College (Michigan), Bell seems to be a decent bet to be a touchdown hoover. An inordinate amount of Detroit Receivers were hauled down inside the 5 yard line last year, and if that trend continues this year, Bell might end up being the 'goal line' back who vultures TDs. Twice on Sunday he benefitted from Reggie Bush being hauled down close to the line as he punched in twice from less than 2 yards out. His overall line reads 25 yards rushing for 2 TDs, 5 receptions for 67 yards; good enough for 2nd in our overall running backs.

TE - Jared Cook (Saint Louis Rams) 26.05 points

The Arizona Cardinals did a decent job in a lot of areas on Sunday. Their offense looked dangerous, David Givins and Tavon Austin didn't crucify them, but the new man in from the Titans absolutely killed them. They say a good tight end is a quarterbacks security blanket, and while the high profile names like Tony Gonzalez, Jimmy Graham, Vernon Davis, Jason Witten and co all had decent or good weeks, the 5 year man from South Carolina was top of the pile in week 1. 7 receptions for 141 yards and 2 TDs were a huge reason why the Rams came back to take a 3 point victory at home over the Cards. He also helped a few fantasy owners rack up the points.

WR/TE/RB - Victor Cruz (New York Giants) 30.90 points

Our flex position was taken by a WR in week 1, probably a common occurence in a PPR league, but it might be a surprise that the WR in question was Cruz. Salsa man was considered to be hindered by a sore heel in advance of the matchup with the Cowboys, but if this is him hindered, the rest of the NFL and Fantasy Owners are in trouble. Cruz torched the Cowboys secondary with a 70 yard TD catch, and ended up with 5 receptions for 118 yards and a hatrick of touchdowns in an heroic losing effort at the house Jerry built.

K - Greg Zuerlein (Saint Louis Rams) 14 points

Not a huge weekend for kickers, but Zuerlein did enough with 14 points, including a game winning field goal versus the Cardinals, to take the kicking honours for the week. Hitting 4 from 4 field goals with a 48 yard game winner will keep you in a job, and will mean he gets picked up be several fantasy owners.

DEF - Kansas City Chiefs - 39 points

Team Defense/Special Teams can be a bit hard to predict, and the vaunted Niners, Seahawks, Steelers, etc all probably underwhelmed in week 1 but the Kansas City Chiefs certainly didn't. Owned by just 5% of people in all Yahoo leagues, the Chiefs put up a huge 39 points thanks to conceding 0 points, 6 sacks, 2 Interceptions and a Touchdown. It's notoriously dangerous to project next week's performance on the basis of last week, but they have a very good linebacking corps and may be worth keeping an eye on, if not picking up before the Dallas game.

DB1 - Barry Church (Safety - Dallas Cowboys) 21 points

Similar to team defenses, it can be very hard to confidently predict IDP performances, particulary at the DB position. So much depends on the opposition, and whether they throw towards you, run at you, or whether you have them under pressure with a good pass rush. Dallas safety Church, an undrafted 4th year man out of Toledo, made hay with some big hits however, which were largely of his own making in week 1. Unowned (0%) in Yahoo leagues, Church had 7 solo tackles, 1 forced fumble, 1 fumble recovery and 1 TD to show for his efforts on Sunday night. Not bad for someone that literally nobody owned.

DB2 - Da'Norris Searcy  (Safety - Buffalo Bills) 19 points

The Bills went down in a heartbreaker to the Pats on Sunday, but fears that they would be exposed due to injury absences in the defensive backfield were largely unrealised as lads like Searcy stepped up big time. In his third year out of UNC, Searcy probably had one of the games of his career to date as he recorded his first ever NFL sack, together with 5 tackles, a fumble recovery and a touchdown. Again, owned by just 1% of Yahoo owners, this lad will pique interest on the Waiver Wire.

LB - Mason Foster (Tampa Bay Buccaneers) 19 points

The Buccs snatched defeat from the jaws of victory against the Jets, thanks to a stupid penalty by Lavonte David on a late hit out of bounds on Geno Smith. The Jets were running out of time, 2 points behind when David hit Smith out of bounds with a couple of seconds left. The 15 yard penalty gave Nick Folk a 48 yard opportunity with 2 seconds left to get the win, which must have sickened the Buccs, none moreso than Linebacker Foster. He had a great outing, with 2 sacks and 7 tackles, including a forced fumble, but it was all to no avail for his real life team. 7% of Fantasy Owners appreciated the effort though.

DL - Robert Quinn (Saint Louis Rams) 23 points

The third Ram on this list, and one who will probably keep Cardinals Left Tackle Levi Brown awake at night shivering with horrid memories. Quinn absolutely had his way with with big man, and ended up plaguing Carson Palmer all night. It was to Palmer's credit that he kept producing, but a big reason why the Cardinals couldn't put the game away was the efforts of Quinn, a 3 year vet out of UNC (the Tarheels second on this list). 23 points from 3 tackles, 3 sacks and 2 forced fumbles represented a great nights work, but he won't be facing turnstile Levi every week.

For those of you who don't know the format, pick 5 players who you think will score the most points according to the scoring system. We hope to do more games over the season and eventually offer prizes for winners. Feedback would also be appreciated.

OK, so week 2 is in the books and the results are all in following the Bengals win over the Steelers last night..

Joe Montana A Championship - Week 2

0-2 Faithful Turfmen B 126.73 - 200.11 Smackdown Clowns 1-1

First up the honour for this week goes to the Smackdown Clowns who bounced back from scoring 170 points and losing to getting to the magical 200 point barrier and making mincemeat of the Turfmen, who had a perfectly respectable tally. The Clowns had huge weeks from Michael Vick, Randall Cobb, Desean Jackson, Matt Forte and Jimmy Graham. In all 9 of their players, including 2 IDPs, broke the 10 point barrier. In the face of such an onslaught the Turfmen were always going to struggle, and getting -1 from your kicker was just the icing on the cake as David Akers got stuffed by the Arizona Cardinals. Marshawn Lynch's 27.75 points were wasted, but the Broncos D and Andre Johnson did their best.

0-2 hegan's clowns 130.02 - 151.03 Coolera Bears 1-1

Another bounce back result as the Coolera lads made no mistake and evened off their record at 1-1, condeming the clowns to an 0-2 start. Julio Jones was the big man here with 30 points for the Bears, as he profitted from Roddy White's absence, but Julian Edelman, Jamaal Charles, ERic Decker and Martellus Bennett, the Bears TE all made hay. The clowns had a good showing at 130 points as well, and their top individual scorer, unusually, was a defensive lineman, Mario Williams, with 23 points. The Seahawks D added 28, and Brees, Spillar and Carolina TE Greg Olsen all had good showings as well.

2-0 Ballyhaise Bills 153.09 - 129.42 Oraisteach's Browns 1-1

The Browns came back to earth this week, despite another good showing, as the Bills moved onto a 2-0 mark with this 24 point win. The Bills had a nice spread of scoring with no real monster weeks, but 8 roster spots beat 10 points, including Knowshon Moreno who was the highest individual contributor with 20.35 points. Again the team defence of the Patriots were the top returner with 23 points. The Browns had 5 10 point plus positions, and rejuvenated Pierre Garcon of the Redskins was the pick of them with 23.15 points.

1-1 Red Hand Helmets 110.77 - 139.26 New York Jets VII 2-0

The Jets have also started 2-0 following this 29 pointer over the Helmets, and will be delighted to have got off to a strong start. They had 6 quality starts (more than 10 points) and were also able to survive another kicker nightmare in the form of Baltimore's Justin Tucker's -1 return. Calvin Johnson was the main man with 25.80 points, but Matt Stafford, Dez Bryant, the Ravens Defense and Panthers LB Luke Kuechly were all  good performers on the week. The Helmets will like what they saw from Andrew Luck, Victor Cruz, Torrey Smith, Matt Prater, the Bengals D and Bernard Pollard the Safety of the Titans, but it wasn't enough on this occasion to haul out the win.

1-1 Dextor Clinkscale IV 126.23 - 142.29 Capt Pats Vikings 1-1

Finally this week, the Vikings and the Clinkscales evened up their records at 1-1 with a win for Capt Pats team. In yet another defeat for a 100+ scoring team, the Vikings ran out 16 point victors. It is worth noting that the lowest score of the week was 110.77, so well done to all. In this matchup the Vikings rode the performances of Aaron Rodgers, Arian Foster, Jermichael Finley Blair Walsh and the Texans D to victory, and while only Rodgers was really stellar, the others were solid backups. Dextor Clinkscale, if that is his real name, had to look on as efforts from Matt Ryan, Brandon Marshall, Jordy Nelson the Niners D, Mark barron (Safety TB) and Lavonte David (the Tampa Linebacker who gave the stupid penalty to the Jets in week 1) were to no avail in this tilt.


Walter Payton B Championship Week 2

After Week 2 of the Payton Championship we're also starting to see a little separation already. We have 3 teams on 2-0, 3 teams on 0-2 and 4 on 1-1. Falling to 0-3 will be hard to overcome in a 15 week regular season, so the 0-2 teams probably need a win next week to get them going. This week the Faithful Turfmen kept the Offaly flag flying with a win over  Armagh's Big Apple Orchards. The Tribesmen punished Red Hand Hernandez for giving out to me about their place of origin last week, so it's only justice for the Derry men. The Kildare representatives, in the shape of the Curragh Rams, showed no gratitude for all Geezers hard work with a 10 point win over Armagh's Crossmaglen Hitmen. The Royal Badgers gave Meath another win over an Offaly team as L'Esprit de Biff has started very slowly out of the gate. Surely the 2011 champion of the A section will not end up in C after this year? Finally, in a midlands battle the Rossies took out the other Offaly team, Savage Bears.

2-0 Faithful Turfmen 124.08 - 90.85 Big Apple Orchards 1-1
2-0 Galway Bay Tribesmen 149.93 - 97.36 Caught Red Hernandez 1-1
0-2 Crossmaglen Hitmen 160.66 - 170.08 The Curragh Rams 1-1
2-0 Royal Badgers 132.61 - 105.74 L'Esprit de Biff 0-2
1-1 Ruthless Rossies 179.72 - 133.94 Savage Bears 0-2

Jerry Rice 'C' Championship

Our 12 team league saw the best matchups of the week in terms of close finishes, and only 1 team finishing with under 100 points, which is a great achievement in a 12 team league. Unfortunately that team was my own Faithful Turfmen C, but we'll live and learn from the experience. As mentioned the Turfmen fell, and it was the Hoboken Celtics who won comprehensively with 150.07 points. Rehab is 4 quitters had a 20 point win over O'Neill's Chargers. The Antrim Autopicks had a narrow 5 point win over fellow Glensmen the North Antrim Nuggets while less than 4 points were all that jolene's team had to spare over Bacon Sanger Please.  The Fighting Vincents from Toronto, by way of Tyrone, went to 0-2 following a loss to Gary O'Neil's team and Deel Rovers Rad Team lost out in the battle of Mayo to Mayo4Sam.

1-1 Faithful Turfmen 'C' 95.51 - 150.07 Hoboken Celtics 2-0
1-1 Rehab is 4 quittters 139.53 - 119.06 O'Neill's Chargers 0-2
0-2 North Antrim Nuggets 129.73 - 134.72 Antrim Autopicks 1-1
1-1 Bacon Sanger Please 123.73 - 127.49 jolenes team 1-1
0-2 Fighting Vincents 104.47 - 129.70 Gary O'Neil's team 2-0
1-1 DeelRovers Rad Team 102.38 - 110.66 Mayo4Sam 2-0

Stay tuned

Post by: AZOffaly on September 17, 2013, 03:00:25 PM
Week 2 Allstars Team

You'd have had some week if you picked....

QB - Aaron Rodgers (Green Bay Packers) 34.45 points

It could have been even better for Rodgers as he probably took his foot off the pedal after a monster first half against the hapless Redskins, but even so he still managed to hold off Michael Vick for the performance of the week at signal caller. Rodgers' line was 34 of 42 for 480 yards and 4 touchdowns. He did end up with -3 yards rushing, but that was because he took 3 knees on the Eagles 11 yard line at the end of the game. For shame!

WR1 - Julio Jones (Atlanta Falcons) 30.10 points

The 3 year man out of College Football's premier program at the moment (Alabama) is really doing the business in the NFL. He's been a hit since he was drafted in 2011, and has 20 touchdowns to his name in his young career already. This week he enjoyed himself in the win versus the Saint Louis Rams, as he easily shouldered the burden imposed by an injury to Roddy White. Jones ended up with 11 receptions from 14 targets for a total of 182 yards and a TD score. Not bad at all from the big man.

WR2 - Eddie Royal (San Diego Chargers) 29.63 points

This one has left a lot of head scratching as Royal has come from the dead (owned in only 17% of Yahoo Leagues) to be relevant again. The use the term Fantasy Zombie for this sort of performance as the 6 year man (who had only 23 total catches last year for 234 yards and 1 TD) had 7 receptions from 8 targets for 90 yards and 3 touchdowns in one game alone this week. Malcolm Floyd getting hit certainly influenced those numbers, but the Virginia Tech man also had 2 TD catches against Houston in Week 1, so maybe this is for real......cue frantic scrambling for the waiver wire...

RB1 - Marshawn Lynch (Seattle Seahawks) 27.75 points

The Seahawks brutalised the San Francisco 49ers up in Seattle on Sunday night, and Marshawn Lynch was a big reason why. The Cal man (also the Alma Mater of Aaron Rodgers) had 27.75 points on the back of 98 yards rushing, for 2 scores and 3 receptions for 37 yards and another score. Lynch will have bigger yardage in other games, but 135 all purpose yards against the Niners is still very good, and his 3 scores pushed him well clear in the Running Back Stats for this week.

RB2 - James Starks (Green Bay Packers) 20.40 points

The Fantasy Football Graveyard must be badly torn up with these Zombies rising and coming back to prominence on the field, and this is another that may well require a root around the Waiver wire. Only in the game thanks to a dirty (in my opinion) hit on Eddie Lacy, Starks seized his moment with a great display. 132 yards rushing, with a score, and 4 receptions for 36 yards to boot make him the second best RB in our format this week. We all know how the NFL treat concussions these days, and Lacy seemed really cut up and out of it, so he may well miss a game or two. The question as to whether Starks can continue to produce like this is moot, but the back from little Buffalo University will get his chance while Lacey is counting stars.

TE - Jimmy Graham (New Orleans Saints) 28.95 points

Despite Jared Cook's big week last week, it was always going to be simply a matter of time before the cream of the Tight End crop rose to the top and as it turned out the wait was only 1 week. There are a few, maybe 4, elite tight ends in the league and Jimmy Graham is right there at the top of the list. He came out of the 'U' (Miami) with a big reputation and is living up to it easily in the NFL. Week 2 saw Drew Brees look to the big man 16 times against Tampa Bay, and Graham caught 10 of them for a massive 179 yards. He only got into the endzone once, but his mobility and catching ability will see him get his fair share of scores too.

RB/TE/WR - Desean Jackson (Philadelphia Eagles) 28.65 points

For the second week in a row (and probably get used to it) our flex spot goes to a wide receiver as Desean Jackson had a great performance in a loss to San Diego. Yet another Cal Golden Bear, Jackson hooked up with Michael Vick for 9 receptions on 15 targets and 193 yards. He also had a 61 yard TD reception in there, and that sees him into our Flex slot ahead of Calvin Johnson.

K - Nick Novak (San Diego Chargers) 18 points

Novak wins the golden boot this week as he amassed 18 points in the win over the Eagles on Sunday. The Maryland man was 4 of 4 on field goals, including 3 over 40 yards and he also was perfect on the Extra Point attempts as he helped the Chargers to an important road victory for them.

DEF - Seattle Seahawks 28 points

I'll wager this is not for the last time this season, but the Seattle Seahawks defense and special teams manhandled the 49ers on Sunday night to take the award for this week. Allowing a miserable 3 points was impressive enough, but 3 sacks, 3 interceptions, 2 Fumble Recoveries and a Safety speak to an absolutely horrible night for Colin Kaepernick and co, and a great one for Fantasy owners of the Seahawks D.

DB1 - Alterraun Verner (Tennessee Titans) 18 points

There were no crazy performances this week in the DB slots, but the lad with one of the coolest names had a great outing with 18 points. Owned by only 3% of Yahoo teams, the corner from UCLA (PAC-12 are dominating this week) had 5 tackles and a pick 6 as well as 3 other passes defended for a very satisfactory night for the few that owned him.

DB2 - Tim Jennings (Chicago Bears) 16 points

We had 2 safeties filling the DB slots last week, this week it's 2 pure Corner Backs as Jennings comes hot on Verner's heels for the second placed spot. He is owned by far more teams (33%) than Verner so the chances are his points were more appreciated. A similar line to Verner saw the 8th year man out of Georgia have 4 tackles, a pick 6 and 1 less pass defended (2) which translates into 16 valuable points from DB.

LB - Brian Cushing (Houston Texans) 19 points

Yet another PAC 12 grad, and another from the Golden State, this USC Trojan racked up 11 tackles and 2 sacks in a win over the Tennessee Titans in Week 2. Part of a good Houston Linebacking Corps, Cushing is owned in 45% of Yahoo leagues and provided a great boost from the Linebacker position to those owners in Week 2.

DL - Mario Williams (Buffalo Bills) 23 points

Last, but not least we move on to the big uglies, and there are few nastier than the 6' 6'' DE from NC State. Williams has been doing the business in the NFL for 8 years now, including 6 at Houston, and he has started well in 2013 again. Week 2 saw him gather 5 solo tackles but a huge 4.5 sacks in a dominant performance against the Panthers O-Line. Owned by 37% of Fantasy teams, there's a fair few happy this morning that they picked him up.

very pleased with my week 2 result! It was the wee lad's first day of school so I missed the draft. The auto picks got me a bunch of injured or inactive players and yahoo rankings were all over the place. I lost the head and dropped 8 players and picked up 8 more on waivers. All part of the plan, more or less.

We'll say I've a lad called Eric Berry, says he's ranked at 1533, projected to 1592, he has 31 points for the season so far.
Compare him to Terence Newman, ranked 164, projected to 270, 29 points for the year

There's no rhyme or reason with the defensive player projections and ranks. It must be somethnig to do with the fact that most leagues wouldn't have any defensive players. I think it's great that we do.

AZ take a look at the Week 3 recap - It has me as winning my week 3 matchup by 4.5 points. But there was some kind of adjustment and now I've lost by 0.5 points?
Was there a rule change made between weeks 3-4? Or where would my opponent get 5 points from after the fact?

This is nearly always down to late stat corrections that aren't applied until the Tuesday or Wednesday. These are last weeks corrections so you can have a look through and see which players affected your matchup.

Nothing more sickening than losing on a stat correction...

It's a very odd season when you look at some of the stud running backs who are basically not performing (which is making a bollox of my RB-RB strategy in the draft :) ) Richardson, Johnson, Rice, MJ Drew, etc etc are all having the proverbial nightmare. This year more than ever I suspect the rounds 4-10 of the draft are going to be the winning of it. I look at my 3 teams and I have to say I like the look of them on paper, then I look at my record and their performances to date and I should be dropping half of the hoors.

Johnson and MJD were not expected to perform this year based on last year......
Arian Foster is frustrating but still consistently putting up decent numbers (not worthy of his draft status). Charles and Moreno are the standouts this year from a draft perspective.

You also still never responded to my request about the loss being overturned......

Post by: AZOffaly on October 16, 2013, 04:01:01 PM
Sorry which request? If Yahoo made a stat correction, and updated your points total, then that's that.

As regards the players, yes, I'd agree about Johnson, but MJD was coming into a contract year and was generally expected to have a good year. He's playing for his future. Unfortunately he's lost something.

Ray Rice and Trent Richardson are big disappointments for me. Chris Johnson less so, but I didn't expect him to be this bad.

I won the game by 4.5 points. The recap says I won. I checked the stat corrections and my opponent was deducted another 0.5 points and I had no corrections and its recorded as a loss for me.

By coincidence looked back at my draft earlier and it was pretty pathetic looking at it today: 1. Jamaal Charles (good pick) 2. Steven Jackson (1 game and 3 minutes so far) 3. Julio Jones (out for season but was huge until his injury) 4. Cam Newton (was annoyed with myself at the time for taking a QB so early - he has disappointed but will end up being an ok pick). 5. Danny Amendola (did someone say injury prone?) 6. Ryan Mathews (thought hate had gone too far, hadn't gone far enough...) 7. Eric Decker (bad Week 1 but good pick). 8. Tavon Austin (big disappointment) 9. Kenny Britt (oh my God!!!) 10. Rashard Mendenhall (slow, losing his job...) 11. Tony Romo (a steal) 12. Fred Davis (this was an autopick as I lost coverage. I'd never have drafted him). 13. Arizona DST (autopick again but did ok for me, briefly) 14. Jason Pierre Paul (terrible pick, injured) 15. Martellus Bennett (good pick, good value) 16. NaVorro Bowman (top pick) 17. Tyvon Branch (fine until injury) 18. Roman Harper (injury, losing/lost his job) 19. Josh Brown (dropped before first game).

At the time I was happy with it overall.

So the score for the week says you lost 120.36 to 120.96

I added up the scores for jolene's team and their scores add up to 120.96. All I can surmise is that they have a bug in their recap. Looks like they have a bug in their code or missed some of the scoring... It all adds up. Mind you, I didn't check each player to see they got the correct score by their performance or anything..

The lads are right.  Position 1 is the person with the best win loss record.. Person 2 is the person with the best win loss record in the OTHER division. The wild cards, 3 and 4 can both be in the same division.

Example

Div One

team A 10-5
Team b 9-6
Team c 8-7


Div Two
Team d 8-7
Team e  7-8


#1 seed will be team A, #2 seed will be team d as division two winner, #3 will be team b and #4 will be team c.  Team e will miss out.

real nail biter last night. Nicks needed just one catch for Mayo4Sam to take the win but thankfully Hillis got all the plays.....
Watching for stat corrections too as Jolene's team robbed me before that way. Today it has me ahead by more than a point as they missed a Kiwanuka solo tackle on a punt return. Division is very tight and everyone has a chance with a bit of wheeling and dealing and FA pickups. 12 teams much more enjoyable (IMHO)

Anybody having trouble picking up players from the Free Agents today? Im trying to pick up a kicker in the Montana conference but my list of free agents disappears when filtering to the kickers. I remember this used to happen now and again a few years back but wasn't sure what the solution was.
Ive noticed Oraisteach was able to pickup a player this afternoon so might just be my problem...

I had the same problem last night when I was trying to get a few waiver claims sorted for the Montana and another Yahoo league I'm in. Think it's ok now.

That was a really tight one alright. I was sat in Wembley Stadium and saw Matt Barkley at QB for Philly on Redzone very earlt on so I feared the sorst (as an owner of McCoy and DeSean in another league). Lost by 5 or so points myself this week - a win would have me well set up cos this week is going to be carnage with byes. Not even sure if I'll get a full team out against the Commissioner!

Its all getting very close in our division with a three way battle between Deeler, Iceman and myself. Given that half the teams seemed to be unmanned it looks like it'll come down to the head-to-heads, although Deeler and myself have to play league leaders Hoboken.

I think the other division is interesting too Mayo. Lot of lads competing for 2nd place. I'm playing against the other teams this week and a win will throw their rankings all off...think Deelrover has the opportunity to do the same. Good auld craic

It's good auld craic. I think one of the unmanned teams has calvin johnson who has put up huge numbers the past 2 weeks . Did you see his stats for this week unfeckingreal over 300 yards receiving. Loads of my players on a bye this week so have to do a bit of wheeling and dealing . Iceman is putting up big numbers the past 5 weeks,

Yeah he's a beast  -2nd highest haul from a WR in a game in NFL history or something like that?
I wonder how many of the teams are engaged in the league, trying to win or just letting it alone.... Mayo you had a handy win this past week with no real fight....Me and Deelrover are waiting on you to trip.... :)

Hey Seanie.
Trade is Clowns' Antonio Gates for Jets' RG3.
I proposed this trade to NYJ VII and he accepted. My clowns are now weak at QB with Vick going down again and strong at TE, Jimmy Graham, Gronk & Gates. The Jets are weak at TE (Fleener i think) and strong at QB with Stafford & RG3.
The projected points differential on the "Evaluate Trade" tool had Clowns +2.09 for the season and Jets + 21.85 for the season if the trade went through.
I thought it was a good trade for both parties involved.

Season to Date
Gates 80.85pts
RG3 78.56pts

Proj Pts Remaining
Gates 95.95pts
RG3 99.92pts

Do you think its unfair?

He came on to his bench late - so I'm not as jammy about anything - he didn't have him when the week started on Thursday - he traded with Bacon Sanger Please to get him but it was too late.... He gave up Boykin of GB.

I thought you's would be happy for me boys to bring down on of the top lads on the other side. Deelrover is hopefully knocking our Hoboken man down too....

Yep only top two of each division goes through - even if your win-loss ratio is higher than the other lads. Thats how the NFL works and how this works unfortunately.

Some crazy results there lads with big splits in divisions.... Best season so far for me (not just because I'm doing ok). The games have been tight, some down to the wire decisions, upsets, and plenty to make viewing even more enjoyable.

I think today or tomorrow is the last day for trades in the Montana so I'd assume it's the same for everyone. As usual no-one too interested in trading. I've Romo and Cam Newton and there's no market for either apparently.

Lack of trades is a result of smaller leagues and smaller starting rosters.
Back in the day of 2 X QBs 3 X WRs and 2 X RBs in a 15-16 team league there were a few trades every week.

I think, to be fair, that this year in particular has been weaker than normal for trades. I'm thinking it's because a) running back is so shit that no-one wants to give up a good back and b) WR and QB is relatively deep. I've been very active in the waiver wire this year, not that it helped much. I just can't believe the running back situation. I might fire up something for the craic here.

The most interesting thing in that snapshot to me is that of the top 10 pre-season running backs, 9 of them were forecast to be in the top 10 overall. In actuality there are only 5 in the top 10, and the 7th best running back is 22nd overall. The 10th best running back is 30th. That's serious lack of production at RB.

AZ - I think 9 of the top 10 picks overall were forecast to be RB's and that was generally the case. I don't think 9 of the top 10  in terms of projected points were forecast to be RB's. RB's were being taken early as it was believed that the fall off after the top guys was colossal so everyone had to grab a good one 9or two) early. That thinking was correct except that some of the top guys turned out to be duds too!

No, in terms of projected rank, not projected pick position, 9 of the top 10 were running backs. (At least according to the Proj versus Actual in the player records). It wouldn't make sense that projected versus actual was projected draft position versus actual points scored.

Just looked at it there and you are 100% right. A bit surprised at that to be honest - would have expected QB's to be highest scorers both projected and actually but seems they weren't projected that way. Interesting.

In my other league, it's all about QBs so that the team with Peyton Manning is flying, racking up 80+ pts per QB alone.  I have Aaron Rodgers, so I'm sliding right out of contention.  Still, I am discovering an unpleasant side of my personality--an uncharitable desire to see Peyton's ankles planted in a pair of boots.  Heck, I'd settle for a pair of floppy wellies.

BTW, I really like our 10-team format, even though there are fewer trades.  At least you can always pick up something on the wire and not have to settle for Trent Richardson's great-aunt Philomena.  Makes the games more enjoyable.

I prefer the 12 team league in the C division. Lots of waiver wire pickups and trades. The top 5 teams in our league are all making moves every week. I think in a 10 team league if you lose a star player it's hard to pick up someone else. Everyone has a strong team and a solid bench and no need to trade..... but horses for courses.

Im certain its the same as the previous few seasons. The winner of each division will advance along with the next best two, regardless of their divisions.
Something similar in the real NFL in 2007, the Cowboys won the NFC East while the Giants & Redskins earned the 2 wildcard spots...

MONTANA

Lombardi

1. Ballyhaise Bills            10-2
3. Smackdown Clowns     8-4
4. Oraisteach's Browns     8-4
5. New York Jets              7-5
10. Faithful Turfmen B      2-10

Halas

2. Hegan's Clowns            6-6
6. Coolera Bears               6-6
7. Dextor Clinkscale IV      6-6
8. Red Hand Helmets         4-8
9. Capt Pat's Vikings          3-9

Bills sitting pretty, playoff slot secured.  Pandemonium to follow as six teams wrestle for the other three spots.  Tough finish in the Lombardi.  Jets conclude with the S. Clowns and Bills, S. Clowns take on Jets and Browns, and the Browns wrap up with the Turfmen and S. Clowns.  Nail-biter in the Halas.  Hegan has the Bills and the Helmets, the Bears square off against the Helmets and Dextor, while Dextor grapples with the Vikings and the Bears.

With astute team-building, the Ballyhaise Bills and the New York Jets are well-placed for the playoffs.  The Bills' have built their team on the Denver Broncos (Manning, Welker, Moreno), while the Jets have hitched their wagon to Detroit (Stafford, Johnson, Bush).  Interestingly, hegan's clowns nabbed Knowshon Moreno in the 19th round of the draft but gave up on him too soon.   The Smackdown Clowns have done wonders with the top two TEs in the league, Graham and Gronkowski.

I missed the draft for the league - it was the wee fella's first day at school. I think I dropped 8 of the players that were auto drafted and started with the scraps nobody else wanted. All in all not a bad year....

4 day weekend knocked me off - should have re-set my lineup based on injuries and projections - made some amateur mistakes and gave the week away....
slim slim chance of a comeback tonight but can't see it....

You wouldn't know what could happen tonight iceman. Some crazy scores this week with 3 players getting 40 or more points. I took a few chances this week with injured players as well felt fairly pi**ed with over 40 points on the bench then I saw your benched players so I feel your pain. Hoboken and gary o neil have put up serious scores over the past couple of weeks.

Looks like Percy Harvin won't start either...I need 40 points from Lynch and Seattle's safety Earl Thomas.... can't see it happening.
If i had just started Carolina over New England at DEFENSE we'd have a down to the wire matchup...

The finish in the Payton Chanpionship has gone down to the wire too. One division has 3 teams at 9-4, one at 8-5, and nobody with a losing record. The leader in the other division is at 7-6, is the only team in the division with a winning record, and is the only team guaranteed a playoff spot!

If its staying with the same as last years rules then it will be the current ranked 7,8,9 & 10th place teams. Those rankings may move about a bit after the consolation playoff games but copying the rules from last year it is 7,8,9 & 10 after the regular season.
It needs to be noted that the Turfmen has to keep a team in the league to keep it running...

I was hoping to stay as the 3rd seed and play the hitmen as I think the Badgers have a stronger team and were ranked number 1 for most of the season.
I make the Bears favorites as they are on a 3 game winning run and are racking up big scores.

Big scores were driven by Gronk eating up the numbers, then last weekend got his ACL done by another player on my team TJ Ward. Add to that the Honey Badger doing in his ACL the same weekend so I'm down two leading players in their positions and will struggle to get points this weekend.
Still glad to make the final four as its the first time all season that I got into the top four, happy to get one more week. Does this mean that we get to more up to the big table next season?

Jeez, AZ, 263 points.  You could have told me about the fantasy cricket league.

In another fantasy league I'm in, I got Jamaal Charles-ed big time in the semis.  Every second I looked up he was scoring.  And what sickens me is that in that league's draft I was torn between taking him or Steven Jackson.  Being the fantasy draft genius that I am, I took Jackson.  On that team, I wound up with only 4 of the original 16 players I drafted.  A genius, I'm telling you.

What a sickener.

I thought the Royal Badgers was bad losing to a kicker who scored 23 points when he had a 22 point lead but that's even worse.

So, it's Mayo for Sam vs. G. O'Neill in one final and Oraisteach's Browns vs. The Coolera Bears in another.  Who's in the third?

That's the whole season of luck used up right there. Gonna get well beaten I fear.
I am contemplating doing the unthinkable and benching Bree's at the panthers.
Thunderstorms promised for that game.

Congrats to magpieseanie on winning the GAABoard Superbowl IX championship.  His Coolera Bears beat me, and the Chicago Bears let me down.

And, of course, not nearly enough thanks to AZOffaly for running the competition and for making Fall Sundays enjoyable.

Again, good man, Seanie, and hard luck to Ballyhaise Bills who had a terrific season and an impressive final week.

Thanks Oraisteach, sentiments much appreciated. My big players came through for me yet again and a few things ran for me. As a Chicago Bears fan I was hugely disappointed at the beat down they got last night but I must say I smiled when the starters were pulled with plenty of time to go! I had a tough defeat in the final in my rookie season so I've badly wanted to win this one.

Again huge thanks to AZOffaly for organising. It's a great competition.

Also a big shout out to all who play. It's a tremendously competitive league. There's no week where you get a handy game which is great.

Here's to 2014. Coolera Bears abĂş!

Well done Rossie on winning the Div 2 title. Hard to shout for the 49er last night but shout for Atlanta everytime Gore got the ball or Bowman was near it. Was still leading with 5 mins left then Gore got a TD and Bowman intercepted, ran 90 odd yards for a TD. Niners are in the playoffs so not all bad.

Well done AZ again, well run event and already looking forward to Div 1 next year!

Fair play AZ as always its a cracking competition.

Well, well, well. It's July already, and the build up is already on for the 2014/2015 NFL season, and the Superbowl in my old stomping ground, Arizona, next February. (Gifts of travel/tickets gratefully accepted).

1 - Are people happy to stay with the format we have (3 divisions (assuming numbers allow), with promotion/relegation).
2 - Are people happy that I have a team in each division to run the thing?
3 - Are people happy to stay with Yahoo, or do ye want to move to another provider (NFL.COM, CBS Sports, ESPN, Fox, etc etc etc).?
4 - Are people happy with the scoring system, or do they wish to suggest any modifications?
5 - Are people happy with our Roster positions?

No complaints here, we've arrived at the current system due to a few years of tweaking and I'd say we've landed at a good system now. Looking forward to another year of it, even if I have dug myself into a big hole with successive relegations.

Just sent the invites out to renew lads. Please join as soon as you can.

my vote is have a cut off date for renewals.
If you're not in then do a shuffle of the old teams and promote them in rank....
if new guys want in let them in the C league and if there is a full house and some new guys - dump out the bottom 2 from  C league (dont think either of them played every week anyway) and let new lads in?

Post by: AZOffaly on August 12, 2014, 12:30:20 PM
Hi Lads,

I'm sure there will be open spots. Keep an eye in here, or PM me.

OK, this post is going to be complicated, so bear with me.

REGISTER
I am not talking about finalising league membership just yet, because I need to see how many players we have. With that in mind I am setting a deadline of 5pm this Friday, Irish Time. That's 5pm Irish time, Friday August 15th. At that stage you MUST have accepted the invite to return to your existing league. If you do NOT accept by this time, your place in the competition is forfeit, and your spot will be taken by the first man on the list of people looking to join up this year.

NEWCOMERS
After 5pm on Friday, I will send invites to the people who have registered interest, but please PM me to indicate you want to join. I will take a first come, first served approach. If you have PM'ed me already, I will accept that as your entry. If you have not PM'ed me, please do so NOW.

DIVISION MAKEUP
Over the weekend, I will then look at our leagues and their finishing positions last year to determine the entrants in each division. As a rule the bottom 4 get relegated, and the top 4 get promoted. However I have to have one team in each division, and I think I got relegated last year in one of them. (I think). In that case, it will be 3 down and 3 up. Sorry about that, I'd prefer not to be in each division, but I have to be in it to organise it. (Each division is a separate league as far as Yahoo is concerned).

Also, as a rule, newbies are placed in the Jerry Rice 'C' Championship. Therefore if we have gaps in higher divisions, they will be filled by teams currently registered before the newcomers get allocated to C.

DRAFT

We're in week 2 of Pre-Season from Thursday night, so we will have to start getting dates and times for drafts. i will try my best, as I do every year, to accommodate people but it's impossible to please everyone. That said, can you please put down here dates/times that definitely DO NOT suit you, and if I can avoid them I will.

For example, I will not be drafting before 8pm any week night (Irish time), or during Irish work hours. I will not be drafting on Saturday August 30th, because I will be langers above in Dublin at the Penn State - UCF game, etc etc etc.


CURRENT MISSING MEMBERS

From the renewals, the following is the current status. If your name is highlighted in RED you have NOT registered. Obviously the names don't correspond to your userids here, so I'm relying on you to recognise yourself. As I said, you have until Friday at 5 to register.

I will try, again, to get trophies for the winners of the divisions. Especially since this is our 10th, imagine that, running of the league.

Anyway, respond to this thread if you are interested, and if you have answers to the questions above.
I just tried a mock draft on Yahoo and roster positions were QB, WR, WR, WR, RB, RB, TE, K, DEF and bench.
Are these leagues custom made so that the draft includes QB, WR, WR, RB, RB, TE, W/R/T, K, DEF, DB, DB, DL, LB, BN, BN, BN, BN, BN, BN, IR?

Title: Re: NFL Fantasy Football - GAABoard Superbowl X - La Decima
Post by: AZOffaly on August 20, 2014, 11:27:37 AM
OK right, here we go.

The Montana Conference currently has 8 re-registered teams. This is how they stack up based on finishing positions last year.


7.   Dextor Clinkscale IV   6-8-0   .429   4-4-0   1814.08   1937.89   L-2   4   36
8.   Capt Pats Vikings   6-8-0   .429   3-5-0   1570.02   1811.92   W-3   3   23
9.   Red Hand Helmets   3-11-0   .214   2-6-0   1638.17   1876.36   L-3   2   18


The 4 relegated teams should be 7,8,9 and 10. However, as 7 and 8 have not re-entered, and #10 has to stay up. The only relegated team is #9 Red Hand Helmets.

This leaves us with the following teams in Montana.

*1.   Coolera Bears   8-6-0   .571   5-3-0   2023.22   1863.99   W-2   8   42
*2.   Oraisteach's Browns   9-5-0   .643   3-5-0   1999.73   1679.76   L-1   9   58
*3.   Ballyhaise Bills   12-2-0   .857   7-1-0   2021.30   1674.95   W-7   6   25
*4.   Smackdown Clowns   9-5-0   .643   5-3-0   2005.51   1784.36   W-1   10   68
5.   New York Jets VII   8-6-0   .571   5-3-0   1807.65   1821.11   L-1   5   47
6.   hegan's clowns   7-7-0   .500   6-2-0   1767.05   1866.62   W-1   7   22
7. Free
8. Free
9. Free
10.   Faithful Turfmen B   2-12-0   .143   0-8-0   1669.46   1999.23   L-5   1   17

So, as a result, I can only promote the top 3 from the Payton Conference. Those 3 are

*1.   Ruthless Rossies   10-4-0   .714   4-4-0   1990.62   1690.94   W-1   7   48
*2.   Savage Bears   9-5-0   .643   3-5-0   1880.83   1790.71   W-3   9   53
*3.   Royal Badgers   9-5-0   .643   5-3-0   1851.05   1772.61   L-3   6   26

So lads, if ye can ping me on your email addresses, I will invite ye to the Montana Conference. ASAP please.

Red Hand Helmets, I will remove ye from Montana and invite ye to Payton.

Sent on to you there. If you join we're just waiting for the Royal Badgers.


For the Peyton Conference. We currently have 5 teams confirmed. (After promotions to the A division.)

By finishing position last year, they are....


*1.   
*2.   
*3.   
*4.   Crossmaglen Hitmen   7-7-0   .500   5-3-0   1821.00   1775.70   L-2   10   63
5.   L'Esprit de Biff   5-9-0   .357   5-3-0   1743.93   1812.79   W-1   3   30
6.   Galway Bay Tribesmen   8-6-0   .571   4-4-0   1860.88   1824.93   W-3   8   55
7.   
8.   
9.   Faithful Turfmen   4-10-0   .286   4-4-0   1725.12   1834.51   L-3   2   22
10.   


As I can't go down, that means the relegated teams are 7, 8 and 10.  The Curragh Rams are pulling out, as are Caught Red Hernandez, so I've just sent the dreaded relegation invite to Big Apple Orchards.


That give us three promotion places to fill, as well as 3 relegations from Division 1. 2 of them have not re-registered, so that means we can bring 5 up from division 3 from last year.

I'll send the invites to ....

Mayo4Sam
GaryONeill's Team
Rehabis4 Quitters


That leaves 2. One of them would be me, but I can't take it as I need to stay in C. Who finished 3rd last year? And Iceman, what's your team name?

Last year was only 12 teams in C because we had overflow. People seem to prefer 10 in general.

OK, Montana is all set, and draft set for next Sunday night at 9pm.

Onto Payton...

We have 5 teams in, and an invite sent out for the 6th. Still waiting for email addresses for Mayo4Sam and Rehabis4Quitters. Iceman, also waiting for your email address. On reflection, I think dec is right, and I will spare him the relegation. Dec, I've emailed you your reprieve email.

So if we get Mayo4Sam, Rehabis4Quitters and Iceman, as well as dec, then we will be up to our 10.

Let's see if we can get that sorted today!

AZ my team is rehab is 4 quitters.

Banger sanger is another lad with same first name but but not me.

rehabis 4 quitters should be promoted now to b division

still suggesting 2 leagues of 12 if we dont have the teams

No, Iceman, last year we had 10 teams in divisions 1 and 2.  Only division 3 had 12 teams.  You need to undergo rehab to fully appreciate the joys of a 10-team league again.  Been in 16, 14, 12 and 10 team leagues and much prefer the smaller grouping.  Good luck with your draft.  If I draft a player, his chances of making it to the IR rises by about 37%.

B is full and drafting tonight at 9.

C is a bit of a disaster. I forgot to postpone the draft, so I had to set it to redraft again, but they won't allow me add teams for a reason. I may have to start a new league instead. Keep an eye on your mailbox for invites. Draft for C will be tomorrow night at 9.

love the projected 0-14-0 record...

Quotehegan's clowns should consider renaming the team "Learning Experience," because that's what this draft was. Picking ninth, hegan's clowns bumbled their way through their picks, leading to a projected finish of 10th in Joe Montana GAABoard Superbowl League with a record of 0-14-0

Solid team at all spots, I would hold on to Welker as Peyton will target him about 160 times BUT if he doesn't clear the concussion test you are screwed. You could go Welker/Bradshaw to upgrade at the WR spot and pick up another RB off waivers.

Spirit, are you looking to unload Welker, or is someone trying to make a trade for him?  If so, what are they offering.  When healthy, Welker is of course pure gold, but he's had three concussions in the last 10.  One good thump, and he's done.  I can't see him lasting the year, so if if someone is offering a decent trade I'd take it.  Maybe because over the years I've been screwed by injured players.

Uh-oh


It was almost too hard to watch as M4S Someday took the fifth pick and drove any playoff hopes they had right off a cliff. They are projected to finish 0-14-0 (1,379), bad enough for a 10th-place finish in Walter Payton 'B' Championship League. They went with the SMU "Pony Express" draft strategy, loading up on three tailbacks in the first five rounds, selecting Eddie Lacy (first round), Doug Martin (third round), and Rashad Jennings (fifth round). They put together the lowest-scoring QB combo in the league, as they added Matt Ryan and Carson Palmer.

Brutal draft. Still, you should nominate yourself for the Toyota Hall Of Fame. That way, your players will have to live up to the pressure.

The draft has taken less than 1.5 hours for the last 2 nights, so if we start at 9.30 we should be finished by 11ish. I'm okay with that.

This is my 3rd draft in a row. I'm knackered.

OK. We're all set. 9.30 PM tonight. 10 team league. For newbies, it's PPR, so bear that in mind when looking at 'rankings'. PPR means that Running Backs, Receivers and Tight Ends get a point per reception as well as yardage points. Most leagues are standard scoring, which rewards only yardage gained and Touchdowns. That means if you look at a ranking, especially for Running Backs, you might see someone ranked high, but people below him will catch more passes and therefore be actually more valuable in PPR.

It's not a big deal, just bear it in mind.

I feel bad for Antrim Autopicks, but I have sent 3 reminders so I can't do much more.

Not by me it seems, auto draft seems to shaft you!

Sometimes in life we make mistakes. Mayo Monsters will hopefully use this giant mistake of a draft as a learning opportunity, so in future drafts they will perform much better. After selecting eighth overall, they are projected to go 3-11-0 (1,417 points) and finish 10th in Jerry Rice C Championsip League. They obviously understand how important the running back position is in fantasy football. They used three of their first five picks on RBs Giovani Bernard (second round), Zac Stacy (third round), and Joique Bell (fifth round). They built one of the top WR pairs in the league, as they have Demaryius Thomas and Vincent Jackson on the team.

Brutal draft


Its saying the waiver for the C division wont be through until the 5th, is that past the setting your lineup date?
Title: Re: NFL Fantasy Football - GAABoard Superbowl X - La Decima
Post by: AZOffaly on September 03, 2014, 11:19:22 AM
Waivers should be the same for all leagues each week.

All players will go on Waivers from the time of their game, until Tuesday. This means if you want a player during this window, you have to submit a waiver claim for him, and it will be processed according to waiver priority. This rule prevents people watching the games live (if they are in the States for example) picking up a backup running back if they see the main man getting broke up in the game they are watching while we are all asleep.

Between Tuesday and their game time, all players are Free Agents and can be picked up immediately. Players dropped go on Waivers for 2 days.

The C division has a waiver date of this week because after a draft, the players go on 'Waivers' for 2 days, as if they have just been dropped. Because our draft is later, the 2 day period brings it into the 5th. But you are really only missing out on Seahawks and Packers. You should be able to pick up anyone else on Friday or Saturday.

I seem to have done alright considering i've never done this before.

Grade A+

Loaded With Dolphins, Oakleaf Dolphins Will Be a Juggernaut.

Draft Summary
Even though Oakleaf Dolphins didn't have a high draft pick (seventh overall), it didn't matter, as they built a legit squad capable of taking it to any opponent that gets in their way. As far as projections go, they will probably finish third in Jerry Rice C Championsip League with a record of 11-3-0 (1,813 points). With their first five picks, Oakleaf Dolphins aimed for balance, selecting QB Peyton Manning (18th overall), RBs Le'Veon Bell (31st) and C.J. Spiller (42nd), and WRs Calvin Johnson (7th) and Mike Wallace (55th). They ended up with the top QB duo in the league, as they added Manning and Alex Smith.

This all means nothing at this stage though. Not overly happy with my RBs but we'll see how it goes.

Good job, AZ.  Aligning these divisions before Thurs. kickoff must have been a pain the ass.  I'm amused at the computer grading.  I looked at the computer grades and thought that the 'D' grade teams were just fine.  A lot of new team name in the third division.

OK. We're all set. 9.30 PM tonight. 10 team league. For newbies, it's PPR, so bear that in mind when looking at 'rankings'. PPR means that Running Backs, Receivers and Tight Ends get a point per reception as well as yardage points. Most leagues are standard scoring, which rewards only yardage gained and Touchdowns. That means if you look at a ranking, especially for Running Backs, you might see someone ranked high, but people below him will catch more passes and therefore be actually more valuable in PPR.

It's not a big deal, just bear it in mind.

I feel bad for Antrim Autopicks, but I have sent 3 reminders so I can't do much more.

Absolutely no need to feel bad AZ, all my own fault combined with other circumstances. A year out might do me some good to get refreshed for next season, anyway  ;)

Week 1 update.

As we approach the last two games of the first week, we have some intriguing ties across all the championships. Some very good scores also recorded, so let's take a quick look at where we are.

Montana Conference

Faithful Turfmen B 93.74 - 91.36 hegan's clowns.

The Turfmen look set fair to have their season up and running, despite an underwhelming total so far, as the clowns have shot their collective bolts to the tune of a 91.36 points, while the men from the Bog hold a 2 point lead with Calvin Johnson (WR-DET), Reggie Bush (RB-DET) and the Cardinals defense to come.  The decision to start Cam Newton over Russell Wilson almost hurt badly, as Newton went from Probable to Questionable to Out all after Wilson had played on Thursday, but in the end it probably didn't matter.  A hasty pickup of Alex Smith (QB-KC) didn't exactly set the world alight, but it did give a few precious points. Julio Jones (WR-ATL), Vernon Davies (TE-SF), Reggie Wayne (WR-IND), Harrison Smith (DB-MIN) and Patrick Willis (LB-SF) did the damage for the Turfmen, but nobody really stepped up and shot the lights out. For the clowns Matt Ryan (QB-ATL) had a sensational start with 448 Passing Yards and 3 Passing TDs for a total of 30.71 points, by far the top scorer of the game so far. Other than him, however, only DeSean Jackson (WR-WAS) and Montee Ball (RB-DEN) produced the necessary quality.

Smackdown Clowns 119.43 - 154.85 Savage Bears

Another set of clowns, another defeat to an Offaly team. The Smackdown Clowns didn't perform badly with 119.43 points all out, so to speak, but in this league it looks like you're going to need to hit 120 at least to win. Even that wouldn't have been enough to see off the Bears who have started ominously for the rest of the league with 154 points and 2 left to play. As impressive as the final score is likely to be, even more impressive is the spread of scorers so far. Andrew Luck (QB-IND), Jordy Nelson (WR-GB), Percy Harvin (WR-SEA), Greg Olsen (TE-CHI), Cody Parky (K-PHI), ERic Berry (DB-KC), Greg Hardy (DB-Car), Karlos Dansby (LB-CLE) and the 49ers Defense all scored heavily in a good opening week.  Smackdown Clowns, as their own score suggests, had good outings themselves, with Peyton Manning (QB-DEN), AJ Green (WR-CIN), Randall Cobb (WR-GB), Chris Johnson (RB-NYJ), Zach Ertz (TE-PHI), Emmanuel Sanders (WR-DEN) and Stephen Gostkowski (K-NE) all breaking the 10 point barrier.

Ruthless Rossies 115.18 - 125.58 Coolera Bears

Our reigning champion, the Bears, are in a struggle in the first week of their title defense, but it looks like they may just hold out against a strong Rossies performance in an all Connacht clash. The Rossies have posted 115 points thus far, with Keenan Allen (WR-SD), Golden Tate (WR-DET) and Patrick Peterson (DB-ARI) all still to come. However the Bears have a 10 point lead in hand, and themselves will look to Michael Floyd (WR-ARI) and Jason Pierre-Paul (DL-NYG) tonight to try and put that to bed. Looking at the remaining players, this could be a really tight finish. I'm guessing the Rossies will want San Diego throwing the ball to Keenan Allen a lot, and hoping that Patrick Peterson will cover him. A win-win no matter what happens! Thus far the Rossies have had solid scoring, led by the Eagles 'D', but complemented by Cordarelle Paterson (WR-MIN), LeSean McCoy (RB-PHI), Mark Ingram (RB-NO), Rob Gronkowski (TE-NE), Steven Hauschka (K-SEA) and JJ Watt (DL-HOU). On the Coolera side of the ball, rehabilitated LeVeon Bell (RB-PIT) led the way with 24.85 points from109 rushing yards, 1 rushing TD, along with 6 catches for 88 yards. A solid outing indeed for a RB in a PPR league. Also impressing were Jay Cutler (QB-CHI), Antonio Brown (WR-PIT), Marshawn Lynch (RB-SEA) and Shayne Graham (K-NO). It promises to be an interesting wait this evening.

Ballyhaise Bills 83.84 - 114.25 Colm O'Mealoid

This one looks to be another that's sewn up, as O'Mealoid leads by 31 points with only tonight's games to come, however it's not completely over just yet.  Matt Stafford (QB-DET) is O'Mealoid's only remaining starter, and he's a good one to have. However, if he were to have a poor night, it's not beyond the realms of possibility that Victor Cruz (WR-NYG), Rashad Jennings (RB-NYG) and Eric Weddle (DB-SD) could garner enough points to haul back a lead like that. The Bills won't be happy with some of their returns this week, although Drew Brees (QB-NO), Matt Forte (RB-CHI), Marques Colston (WR-NO), Justin Houston (LB-KC) and the Seahawks 'D' have all broken the 10 point barrier. Colm O'Mealoid's Roddy White (WR-ATL), Andre Johnson (WR-HOU), DeMarco Murray (RB-DAL), Cameron Wake (DL-MIA) and Vontaze Burfict (LB-CIN) did the same for them, and that looks to be enough to put them into a winning position, barring a nightmare from Stafford.

Oraisteach's Browns 118.92 - 98.67 New York Jets VIII

This one is surely in the books. The Browns carry a 20 point lead into tonights games and, while they have no offensive players left to score, they can call on Antrel Rolle (DB-NYG) to steer them home tonight. The Jets will need Ryan Matthews to have a career night,  against the mighty Arizona Cardinals, tonight to have any chance of pipping the Browns. Stranger things have happened in Fantasy NFL, but not much stranger. The Browns won't be enamoured with Tony Romo and Frank Gore's starts to the season, but they can be thankful to a huge night from old reliable Julius Thomas (TE-DEN) for this win if it materialises. The big Tight End from Portland State University hauled in 7 balls for 104 yards and a huge 3 touchdowns for the Broncos last night, which tallies up at 32.20 points in our league, and is the major difference between these teams. Pierre Garcon (WR-WAS), Gio Barnard (RB-CIN), Blair Walsh (K-MIN) Paul Posluszny (LB-JAX) and the Panthers D all backed up Thomas' score, but I think it's fair to say the Jets would be favourites tonight if he hadn't stormed out of the blocks this year. The Jets had 5 players break the 10 point barrier, the Bengals 'D', Jimmy Graham (TE-NO), Shane Vereen (RB-NE), Brandon Marshall (WR-CHI) and Nick Foles (QB-PHI) but it looks like it may not be enough.

I hear you. I had a player concussed who scored me 0 points. It's just bad luck, these things usually even themselves out over the course of the season. Agree completely that the fantasy football makes it much more enjoyable.

Walter Payton Championship

Faithful Turfmen 165.29 - 122.76 Crossmaglen Hitmen

This one is almost, but not quite, in the books, and sees the Faithful Turfmen in line for a good win over the Hitmen, assuming Matthew Stafford doesn't go nuts tonight. The lads from XMG have had a good solid outing, with no less than 8 positions yielding double digits. Jordy Nelson (WR-GB), Antonio Brown (WR-PIT), Matt Forte (RB-CHI), Darren Sproles (RB-PHI), Denis Pitta (TE-BAL), Julian Edelman (WR-NE) and the Cincinnati 'D' all did the business. If Stafford should add 15 or 20 points tonight, the Hitmen will feel aggrieved to come out the wrong side of the result. For the Turfmen, 8 players also hit double digits, but 2 of them scored quite heavily. Julius Thomas (TE-DEN) was a monster, with 32.20 points, while Beast Mode himself, Marshawn Lynch (RB-SEA) added 21.20 points. In addition Nick Foles (QB-PHI), Pierre Garcon (WR-WAS), Kendell Wright (WR-TEN), Eric Berry (DB-KC), Paul Posluszny (LB-Jax) and the Carolina D stepped up to the mark, in all likelihood giving the Hitmen too much to do tonight.

Red Hand Helmets 139.48 - 68.36 Gary O'Neill's Team

A rout is in progress here I'm afraid, as over 70 points separate the two going into tonight's slate of games. To make matters worse for Gary's team, Calvin (Megatron) Johnson (WR-DET) is still to score for the Helmets, so this may get worse rather than better. Having said that Gary's team has Larry Fitzgerald (WR-ARI) and Ryan Matthews (RB-SD) going tonight, but a late push for respectability is the best they can hope for. Gary's Team made a fatal error of dropping an IDP and repacing him with a position player on the bench, which left them 1 slot unfilled for the week and, while it probably made no difference this week, that is not something you want to reproduce every time out. Gary's team disappointed in most positions, but LeSean (Shady) McCoy (RB-PHI) andGio Barnard (RB-CIN) along with Vontaze Burfict (LB-CIB) made a good fist of it. Unfortunately support wasn't really there for them. For the Helmets, a good solid start, and encouraging showings from LeVeon Bell (RB-PIT), Vernon Davies (TE-SF), Jeremy Maclin (WR-PHI), Harrison Smith (DB-MIN), JJ Watt (DL-HOU), Luke Kuechly (LB-CAR) and the Seattle 'D' gives them good hope for the season ahead. Factor in single digit performances from Fantasy 'names' like Aaron Rodgers (QB-GB), Vincent Jackson (WR-TB) and Arien Foster (RB-HOU) and there is serious potential in that team.

Galway Bay Tribesmen 101.98 - 80.44 Bear You to Shreds

This one looks well in control for the Tribesmen, as they hold almost a 21 point advantage heading into tonight and, truth be told, they probably have greater scope for points with their remaining players. Bear you to Shreds do send Reggie Bush (RB-DET) into action, and he could have a big night, but Michael Floyd (WR-ARI) and Antrel Rolle (DB-NYG) should be able to cover whatever Bush does, you would imagine. The Tribesmen had no real amazing performances, but Jay Cutler (QB-CHI), Randall Cobb (WR-GB), DeMarco Murray (RB-DAL), Shane Vereen (RB-NE) and Rob Gronkowski (TE-NE) all scored well and solidly. The Shreds had an excellent defensive performance from Leodis McKelvin DB for the Bills, who had 17.35 points off 13 tackles, as well as good outings from Drew Brees (QB-NO) and the Denver D, but it looks to be a good bit short of what was required.

Big Apple Orchards 120.12 - 110.36 M4S Someday

There's an old saying about better to have the points in the bag than games in hand, but in this case I'm not so sure. The horse coming along the rails looks to have the advantage to me, despite having a 10 point deficit to make up as the Orchards try to close out the game with Quintin Demps (DB-NYG). M4S has a strong looking cast tonight, with Keenan Allen (WR-SD), Rashad Jennings (RB-NYG) and Nick Novak (K-SD) all togging out, and it would appear that this triumvirate will have enough in them to drag the M4S team to victory. So far the Orchards have 7 positions racking up at least 10 points, with the pick of them being the Texans' D. 3 Sacks, 2 Fumble Recoveries, 1 TD, 2 Blocked Kicks and 6 points allowed marks a truly exceptional effort from the Texans, and the Orchards have reaped the reward. Also scoring well were Colin Kaepernick (QB-SF), Andre Johnson (WR-HOU), Montee Ball (RB-DEN), Jimmy Graham (TE-NO), DeSean Jackson (WR-WAS) and Karlos Dansby (LB-CLE). For M4S, they are still in touch thanks in no small measure to Matt Ryan (QB-ATL) and his 30.71 points, as well as AJ Green (WR-CIN) and his 20.80 and the Eagles' D's 20 points. Greg Hardy (DL-CAR) rounded out their big scorers.

Rehab is 4 Quitters 153.63 - 60.16 L'Esprit de Biff

Another blow out is in progress in the last tie of the week, I'm afraid, and while the Biffs have 3 players scoring tonight, it's beyond reasonable hope that they would haul in such a deficit, over 90 points. Quitters had lovely, balanced, heavy scoring with 8 getting double digits and quite a few getting close to 20 points or better.  The 49ers D led the way with 24, but Peyton Manning (QB-DEN), Brandon Marshall (WR-CHI), Roddy White (WR-ATL), Greg Olsen (TE-CHI), Percy Harvin (WR-SEA) Steven Hauschka (K-SEA) and Cameron Wake (DL-MIA) were all outstanding as well. For the Biffs it was a bit miserable, but Julio Jones (WR-ATL) and Steven Gostkowski (K-NE) didn't let the side down. Jamaal Charles, Toby Gerhart and Jordan Cameron, on the other hand.....

Don't understand how he's being cut and suspended further now. It was a horrible, disgusting act but how the feck did the league or the Ravens think his girlfriend was knocked out? They all knew and both are just saving face now that a video has come out.

They are just as morally bankrupt as Rice is.

Week 1 Results.

As we approach the last two games of the first week, we have some intriguing ties across all the championships. Some very good scores also recorded, so let's take a quick look at where we are.

Montana Conference

Faithful Turfmen B 138.14 - 91.36 hegan's clowns.

As expected, Calvin Johnson (WR-DET) and Reggie Bush (RB-DET) salted the game away with a combined 40.40 points, thanks mostly to a huge game from Megatron. 7 Receptions for 164 yards and a couple of scores gave him a personal tally of 31.20 points, and more than enough to make sure of this one.

Smackdown Clowns 119.43 - 159.50 Savage Bears

Monday night was merely a lap of honour for the Bears in this contest, but even so they'll be slightly disappointed to get a combined 4.65 points from Larry Fitzgerald (WR-ARI) and Danny Woodhead (RB-SD). They will need more as the season progresses.


Ruthless Rossies 133.88 - 140.63 Coolera Bears

The Champions are up and running, thanks largely to Michael Floyd (WR-ARI) and his 13.05 points.  Carrying a 10 point lead into the game, Keenan Allen (WR-SD), Golden Tate (WR-DET) and Patrick Peterson (DB-ARI) had earned enough to give the Rossies the edge, but Floyds tally was enough to restore the balance of power in favour of the Bears, and Jason Pierre Paul's (DL-NYG) 2 points were just insurance.

Ballyhaise Bills 106.84 - 141.27 Colm O'Mealoid

This one would have taken something sensational from the Bills to pull it out, and while Rashad Jennings (RB-NYG) did manage 14.80 points, Victor Cruz (WR-NYG) and Eric Weddle (DB-SD) never looked like putting O'Mealoid's team under pressure. As it was Matthew Stafford (QB-DET) had a fine outing himself with 346 Passing Yards, 2 Passing TDs and 1 Rushing TD for 27.02 points. This put the exclamation mark on a good win for O'Mealoids.

Oraisteach's Browns 126.92 - 109.67 New York Jets VIII

As expected, the Browns comfortably held on against the Jets as Ryan Matthews (RB-SD) just couldn't get enough on the board to put a serious dent in the Brown's lead. He did manage a decent 11 points, but Antrel Rolle (DB-NYG) added 8 points for the Browns and that was that, sealing a nice week 1 for Oraisteach.

Walter Payton Championship

Week 1 Results.

Faithful Turfmen 165.29 - 149.78 Crossmaglen Hitmen

As the Hitmen must have feared, Matthew Stafford (QB-DET) did indeed have a great, but not great enough night. To lose with a total of almost 150 points is tough medicine, but with such a spread of scoring it's fair to say the Hitmen won't have to wait too long to get up and running. The Turfmen are delighted to win a good game like this in week 1, and will hope to take the momentum forward into next week.

Red Hand Helmets 170.68 - 81.46 Gary O'Neill's Team

The rout was completed last night in this one, and Gary O'Neill's team will feel that they fell short of a good performance as Larry Fitzgerald (WR-ARI) and Ryan Matthews (RB-SD) could only add 13.10 points between them, 11 of that total with the Charger running back. Rubbing salt in the would was Calvin Johnson (WR-DET) as Megatron added 31.20 points to the winning margin for the impressive Helmets.

Galway Bay Tribesmen 123.03 - 89.64 Bear You to Shreds

Monday night panned out as expected in this one, as REggie Bush (RB-DET) added 9.20 points to the Shred's tally, and that was never going to be enough. Also as expected, Michael Floyd (WR-ARI) and Antrel Rolle (DB-NYG) themselves did more than enough to cancel out any thoughts of a comeback and made the game safe for the Tribesmen with their 21.05 points combined.


Big Apple Orchards 120.47 - 143.01 M4S Someday

An emphatic Monday night performance for M4S Someday saw them comfortably rein in the Orchards lead, and in fact handed them a 22+ point victory. Rashad Jennings (RB-NYG) and his 14.80 points did most of the damage, but Keenan Allen (WR-SD), Nick Novak (K-SD) and Stevie Brown (DB-NYG) dis a bit of gilding the lily with a further 17.85 points. Quintin Demps (DB-NYG) was unable to do anything to stop the flow with his miserly 0.35 points.

Rehab is 4 Quitters 158.63 - 71.36 L'Esprit de Biff

This game was well and truly over even before last night's rubber stamping exercise, but L'Esprit de Biff will nonetheless be unhappy that Victor Cruz (WR-NYG), Andre Ellington (RB-ARI) and Patrick Peterson (DB-ARI) were completely ineffective on the night, adding a mere 11.20 points combined. Quitters didn't need any help, but Eric Weddle's (DB-SD) 5 points brought their tally to 158.63, which is a good standard to set for the rest of the year.

Jerry Rice Championship

Faithful Turfmen C 85.06 - 143.67 FermanaghandSam

The sound of teacups flying around the Turfmen 'C' dressing room will have rang long into the night as their manager read the riot act to his underachieving bunch. Falling 50 points behind their projected total is not the stuff wins are made of, and FermanaghandSam took full advantage, in racking up a very impressive score to earn their maiden win in GAABoard Fantasy. Better in the vast majority of the roster, despite Dallas QB Tony Romo's poor outing, the Fermanagh lads were led by AJ Green (WR-CIN), Julio Jones (WR-ATL), Shane Vereen (RB-NE), Zach Ertz (TE-PHI), Marques Colston (WR-NO), Matt Bryant (K-ATL) Eric Berry (DB-KC) and Luke Keuchly (LB-CAR). 8 positions over 10 points, and none of them being your team D or QB is a good sign for the rest of the year. For the sheepish Turfmen, Drew Brees (QB-NO), Reggie Wayne (WR-IND), Blair Walsh (K-MIN) and Paul Posluszny (LB-JAX) can hold their heads up, but the rest are in for extra wind sprints this week.

Antrim89 97.18 - 171.93 Troy PolaMAYO

A very impressive debut performance from Troy PolaMAYO, to say the least, as no fewer than 10 positions met the double digit barrier and cleared it. It would almost be easier to list positions which fell short, but led by the Houston D with 32 points, Jay Cutler (QB-CHI), Antonio Brown (WR-PIT), Pierre Garcon (WR-WAS), LeSean McCoy (RB-PHI), Chris Johnson (RB-NYJ), Rob Gronkowski (TE-NE), Steven Hauschka (K-SEA), JJ Watt (DL-HOU) and Patrick Willis (LB-SF) were all impressive in the rout. Antrim89 were not terrible, although 100 points is the minimum target to expect a chance of a win, and had decent outings from Percy Harvin (WR-SEA), Greg Olsen (TE-CHI), Jeremey Maclin (WR-PHI) and Leodis McKelvin (DB-BUF). They will look for much more from their skills positions though, particularly RB and QB.

UShane's Bolts 100.39 - 161.44 Oakleaf Dolphins

The Bolts' strategy of drafting a lot of Chargers didn't quite pay off last night as the real life Bolts and the Fantasy Bolts both fell short. In fairness, the deficit facing UShane's Bolts coming into Monday was too much to expect, but they would have liked more than 24.11 from the Chargers contingent of Philip Rivers (QB), Keenan Allen (WR), Nick Novak (K) and Eric Weddle (DB). Reggie Bush (RB-DET) did add 9.20 points to the cause, but it was never enough to threaten the dominance of the Oakleaf Dolphins, who will be delighted to make a winning start in their GAABoard Fantasy career. They leant on Calvin Johnson (WR-DET) and his 31.20 points, as well as the likes of Peyton Manning (QB-DEN), Mike Wallace (WR-MIA), LeVeon Bell (RB-PIT), CJ Spiller (RB-BUF),  Emmanual Sanders (WR-PIT), Cameron Wake (DL-MIA) and the Bengals D.

Insane Clowney Posse 102.24 - 174.15 David's Superb Team

David's Superb Team lived up to their moniker with a very impressive demolition of the Posse in this one, in the process racking up the highest score across all 3 of our Championships. Matt Stafford (QB-DET), Cordarelle Patterson (WR-MIN), Julian Edelman (WR-NE), Marshawn Lynch (RB-SEA), Montee Ball (RB-DEN), Julius Thomas (TE-DEN), Harrison Smith (DB-MIN) and the Carolina D led the way, with Stafford, Lynch and Thomas gaining 80.42 points between the 3 of them alone. The Posse had a decent outing, and were just unable to hang with David's team this week, despite good showings from Nick Foles (QB-PHI), Kendell Wright (WR-TEN), Vernon Davis (TE-SF), Stephen Gostkowski (K-NE) and the Seattle D.

Sean's Team 97.58 - 97.37 Geezers49ers

Possibly the tie of the round across all our championships, in true Ulster Football Championship fashion, this low scoring struggle has ended with a win by .21 of a point for Sean's team. A major caveat here will be to watch the scoring during the week in case of late stat adjustments. In a tight one like this, a late adjustment can throw everything awry.  On the assumption that the scoring will remain the same, Sean will be delighted to eke one out in a tight finish like this. Ironically, given my Ulster analogy, the combined 10 defensive positions netted a miserable 20.58 points between both teams. It is interesting that in that mini comparison, Sean's team came out on top 11.58 to 9 points. And Quintin Demps (DB-NYG) may never get a more valuable .35 points thanks to his 14 return yards. Those 14 yards may just have been enough to get the win for Sean's team. Outside of the defenses, Andrew Luck (QB-IND), Randall Cobb (WR-GB), DeMarco Murray (RB-DAL), Jimmy Graham (TE-NO) and Michael Floyd (WR-ARI) performed well for Sean's team, while the Geezers countered with good showings from Colin Kaepernick (QB-SF), Jordy Nelson (WR-GB), Andre Johnson (WR-HOU), Matt Forte (RB-CHI) and Dan CArpenter (K-BUF).

Ronan's team 106.66 - 85.53 Mayo Monsters

The last game of the week ends in a good win for Ronan's team as he took a 21 point decision from the Monsters. Matt Ryan (QB-ATL) was the main man with his 30.71 points, ably supported by Brandon Marshall (WR-CHI), Denis Pitta (TE-BAL), Roddy White (WR-ATL) and the Lions D, while the Monsters were best served by Gio Barnard (RB-CIN) and the Eagles D. Only 2 positions breaking the double digit barrier is not going to be enough to win many games in this league and the Monsters will want far more from QB,WR and TE. A running back that doesn't contribute -0.3 points would help as well.

.21 ahh the agony, so close. Chekwa not starting and losing Eifert after 10mins prob lost it for me. Learning nrw things as I go along. Can I use my bench after the thursday game? AZ great work in the round ups. Btw I won my the other game on NFL.com played through the Armagh forum by 1.2pts so il take 1-1 for my 1st weekend. On another aside, why the hell was Larry fitzgerald used so sparingly by the cards last night.

I watched the recap of the Cards game there. Palmer was a bit off at times, but basically I think Fitz is normally targeted by the best defender, which makes throws to the likes of the Tight Ends and Michael Floyd, not to mention the new guy, John Browne, a frequent choice as well. I'd expect Larry to play better games as the year goes on, but I don't think he's a #1 receiver any more, especially when other options are there.

Going to be a bit bleary eyed next Monday as I'll stay up for da Bears. They have a pretty pathetic record away to the 49ers and last weekends shocker doesn't bode well. Still, you hope Cutler wouldn't throw 3 picks on the first 3 possessions like Romo did against them last weekend. If the defense doesn't stop the run a bit better though there's not much point turning up.

Yeah - just checked it and you did take him just before I did resulting in me stupidly picking a 2nd LB I was so disgusted. Probably wouldn't have beaten you anyway this week but not too disappointed with my score. If I keep hitting 120+ I should make the playoffs.

I was very lucky to get the win this week as Geezer left the Baltimore defence on the bench and scored zero points for Team Defence. Was pretty high scoring overall at 137.94 to 128.06, Baltimore's D scored 20 points so this would have swung the matchup in Geezers favor. Anyway 2-0 and on to next week! This makes watching the games much more interesting.

Post by: AZOffaly on September 16, 2014, 02:48:31 PM
I thought I'd do the reports from a real life matchup perspective this week, as I tend to repeat myself over and over as the same players feature in each league we have. Yahoo does a recap of the fantasy games anyway, so I'll just post our results, and try and do a bit of a commentary on the real games from a fantasy perspective.


Part 1 -

First up we have Thursday night's game, Pittsburgh Steelers 6 @ 26 Baltimore Ravens. The Ravens showed impressive intestinal fortitude to put the Ray Rice fiasco behind them and take care, fairly comfortably in truth, of the Steelers in a big early season AFC North matchup. Rice's workload was primarily carried by Bernard Pierce on the running side, as the Temple Owl had 96 yards rushing on 22 carries. Justin Forsett had 56 yards on only 8 carries, but was marginally the favoured back on passing situations, targeted 4 times (all of which he caught) versus 2 targets for Pierce. Flacco at Quarterback was steady if unspectacular, with 21/29 passing for 166 yards and 2 TDs. Just as important, he had no INTs, and protected the ball. He spread the ball out fairly between his receivers, with 7 different Ravens catching passes. Most notable in terms of scoring was backup TE Owen Daniels, who had Denis Pitta owners gnashing their teeth, as he hauled in 2 TD catches from 5 catches. Pitta had only 3 catches, but he actually had 2 yards more than Daniels (30 vs 28), but if Daniels is going to hoover up Red Zone targets, it's going to be an issue. From a wideouts perspective, Steve Smith Sr (Now called Sr as he had a  child in the off season and called him Steve) continues to be a viable option for the ravens in the Anquin Boldin role. Targeted 10 times, the ex-Panther had 6 catches for 71 yards and was the most productive Raven in terms of catches and yardage. Torrey Smith continues to worry his owners with just 1 catch for 10 yards from 3 targets. Keep an eye on that situation, but Smith the elder may just have passed out Torrey as the go-to Ravens receiver. For the Steelers it was a decidedly average night, with just 2 field goals from Suisham to show for their efforts. Big Ben Roethlisberger was 22/37 for 217 yards, but he had zero TD passes and had an interception to boot. LeVeon Bell continues to impress from the running back position, especially in our PPR league. The former Michigan State Spartan had 59 yards rushing on 11 attempts, for an average of over 5 per carry. He also featured in the passing game with 5 catches from 5 targets and 48 yards. Antonio Brown was the only Steeler wideout to really feature with 90 yards on 7 receptions from 12 targets and a nice game. He seems to be by far the Steelers main man, although Markus Wheaton may be worth a look as he had 5 receptions on 8 targets a week after 97 yards receiving on 6 receptions against Cleveland.

Onto the early Sunday games, and first up we have the Buffalo Bills going to 2-0 with a 29-10 win over the Miami Dolphins in upstate New York. The big news for fantasy owners from this game may well be the injury to Knowshon Moreno. The Dolphins' feature back dislocated his elbow in the game, and looks set to miss 4-8 weeks according to initial reports. Moreno was going in the top 10-12 running backs in our drafts, so this is a big blow to a few teams. In his absence the load seems to be going to be Lamar Miller's.  Miller had 11 carries for 46 yards in a game where Miami passed a lot (49 passing attempts!), so it may be that Miller will be a good option going into the next several weeks if you need a Miami running back. He was also targeted 5 times and had 2 catches. Having said all that, Miller himself hurt his ankle and is currently 'Questionable' for Sunday but keep an eye on him.  In a game where Ryan Tannehill threw the ball 49 times for 241 yards and a score, plus an interception, you'd expect there to be a lot of targets to go around, and indeed 8 different Dolphins caught a pass, with Mike Wallace the leader of the pack with 5 catches for 56 yards and a score. Jarvis Landry had 5 catches for 49 yards and Brian Hartline was another with 5 catches for 36 yards. Leading man in terms of catches was Tight End Charles Clay with 7 catches for 31 yards.  For Buffalo, the surprise start keeps up its momentum, and they have a nice balance behind beleaguered QB EJ Manuel. Manuel threw for 202 yards, with no interceptions and 1 score, but in a game the Bills controlled, he only had to throw it 26 times. When he did throw it, he threw it to rookie wideout Sammy Watkins. Watkins, from Clemson, had a big day with 8 receptions for 117 yards and a TD. It remains to be seen if he can keep that sort of production up, but he's certainly made a good start in the 'Rookies to watch out for' category. No other Bills receiver had anything like that sort of production, which leads us nicely to the balance referred to earlier. CJ Spiller and Fred Jackson have been a 1-2 punch in the league since Spiller was drafted, and Sunday was a case of more of the same. 12 carries each, but Spiller significantly outperforming the older man to the tune of 69 yards to 24. Add in the fact that Spiller brought a kickoff return to the house and it turned out to be a nice fantasy day for his owners. That balance of workload though, is a concern, and it may hold Spiller back from being an elite fantasy producer.

Up next, the Cincinnati Bengals proved they are a team to be taken seriously with a pretty routine win over a highly rated Atlanta Falcons unit, 24-10, in Ohio. This was another game which featured an injury with potentially serious fantasy implications, as star Bengals wideout, AJ Green, left the field with what was initially called 'Turf Toe'. If it is that, he may miss anything from 2-6 weeks, but initial indications are on the lower side of that estimate. Given the Bengals are on a bye in Week 4, he may only miss 1 or 2 games, which would be a relief to his NFL team, and our Fantasy owners. In the game itself, the star men were the Bengals Running Backs. Giovanni Bernard is proving that the promise he showed last year was no flash in the pan, and he ended up with 27 carries for 90 yards and a touchdown. He also caught 5 passes for another 79 yards. Sharing the workload at running back in a run heavy offense, Jeremy Hill had 15 carries for 74 yards. Normally when the backup has 15 carries, you're worried about the main guy's productivity, but there seems to be loads of rushing attempts to go around in Cincy. In the passing game, Andy Dalton had a very solid, nice day with 252 yards and 1 TD from only 23 passing attempts. Obviously the fact that the game was in hand limited his need to throw the ball, but it's likely that Cincinnati will try to replicate this approach as the season goes on., despite 38 passing attempts in week 1. When Dalton did go to the air, a lot of it was little passes to running backs given Green's injury. Mohamed Sanu did impress at pure Wideout with 84 yards for a TD, but off only 4 targets, so I'm not sure if that's going to be a pattern in future. With Green's injury Sanu might be the main receiver in Week 3, but don't be surprised if it's more run, run, run.

Not far away in Ohio, a great win for the Cleveland Browns, 26-24 over the slow starting New Orleans Saints. Experienced former Ravens kicker Billy Cundiff held his nerve to boot the 29 yard game winner, but this was a game that went back and forth until the dying moments. Johnny Manziel featured in 3 plays, but did the square root of feck all in any of them. This is still Brian Hoyer's team. Hoyer threw 40 times, completing 24 passes for 204 yards and 1 TD. Not huge numbers, but enough to keep the Browns in the game, and give them a chance to win it. He made a few big completions as well, including the throw which set up the game winner, albeit after a complete brain fart by the New Orlean's secondary. He spread the ball out nicely with 8 different receivers, Andrew Hawkins getting the most yardage with 70 from 6 catches, but ex Cowboy Miles Austin hauled in the TD and had 6 catches himself. Many people wondered about Cleveland when they traded away Trent Richardson mid season last year, but they seem to have found a promising replacement in Terence West, the rookie from Towson. West had 100 yards last week against Pittsburgh, and followed up with 68 yards and a score on 19 carries. He caught 2 passes for 22 yards as well, and seems to be the bell cow in Cleveland.  For the Saints, Drew Brees had another so-so outing, and this will start causing a bit of concern with his owners. He's been far from terrible, with 237 yards, 2 TDs and 1 INT in this game, but it's just not the sort of dominating QB numbers that someone drafting him in the top 10 would have expected. Jimmy Graham at TE remains an absolute animal, catching both TDs for 118 yards off 10 catches, but he was by far and away the best receiver Brees had. Marques Colston was a very disappointing complete no-show, breaking a streak of at least 1 reception in something like 86 games. In the running game Mark Ingram led the way with 11 carries for 83 yards and a TD, but the rest were a bit Ho-Hum. Pierre Thomas has been a disappointment so far, with just 3 carries for 16 yards and 3 catches for another 16 yards to go with it.

Down in Nashville, the Dallas Cowboys upset the pre-match predictions with a solid 26-10 win over the Tennessee Titans. Usually when Dallas wins, you find Tony Romo has had a big day, and while Romo was fine (176 yards, 1 TD, 0 INTS) he was not the major factor at all in this win. The big performance for the Cowboys was their much questioned running game, and more precisely, DeMarco Murray. Murray went off to the tune of 167 yards on the ground, with 1 TD, and basically controlled this game for the Cowboys. He did fumble, but I think he can be forgiven that given the production he managed. As mentioned Romo threw for 176 yards, and mercurial star Wideout Dez Bryant accounted for 103 of them on 10 catches and a score. Jason Witten owners will be getting a bit antsy, as the star Tight End seems to be on a bit of a go slow in the early weeks. He has a total of 6 receptions for 46 yards in 2 weeks so far. On the Titans side of the ball, it was a bit of a curates egg for Jake Locker. He did have 234 yards passing, and a score, but mixed in 2 INTs as well. The running game was shut down really, as Shonn Green and Dexter McCluster were held to 70 yards combined. Tight End Delanie Walker was the big scorer for the Titans, with 10 receptions for 142 yards and a TD in a show of defiance as the Cowboys ran all over his Titans.

I was very lucky to get the win this week as Geezer left the Baltimore defence on the bench and scored zero points for Team Defence. Was pretty high scoring overall at 137.94 to 128.06, Baltimore's D scored 20 points so this would have swung the matchup in Geezers favor. Anyway 2-0 and on to next week! This makes watching the games much more interesting.

Pretty sick, pretty sure i made the change but if you make school boy error you get the cane. Crabtree was another i mulled over and went with Hicks and he was non-existent last night, although Nelson was a bomb of a score. 0-2 but enjoying the experience, theres always next week.

Part 2 -


Up in the twin cities, the New England Patriots stomped all over the hapless Minnesota Vikings, 30-7. The Vikings were rocked as Adrian Petersen was deactivated just before the game, as a result of an investigation into potential abuse of his 4 year old son. Petersen is accused of going beyond the bounds of reasonable discipline as he hit his son with a 'switch'. Petersen is back with the team this week, and is projected to start in Week 3, barring further evidence coming out. In his absence, Matt Asiata was promoted to starting running back, and had a reasonable outing in fantasy terms, with 13 rushes for 36 yards and 5 catches for 48 yards and a TD. However, Adrian Petersen he ain't, and even though Petersen had a poor week one, from a purely Fantasy perspective, his owners will want him back on the field ASAP. This game was billed as revenge for Matt Cassell against the Pats, but the ex backup to Tom Brady had a 'mare. He threw for 202 yards, and a score, but had 4 killer INTs as well. He did spread the ball around when he passed it, but given that the Patriots caught almost as many passes from him as his top receiver, it wasn't necessarily a good thing. Cordarelle Patterson will have better games, but still managed 56 yards on 4 catches. in addition to the aforementioned Asiata, Kyle Rudoph had 5 for 53 from the Tight End position. Tom Brady continues to be a worry for his fantasy owners. This game may have been a laugher and didn't need him to throw passes, but still the Michigan star only had 149 yards and 1 TD from 22 passing attempts. That might be a good line for a dominating Patriot performance, but it doesn't do you much good in Fantasy. Julian Edelman was very impressive given those stats, as he had 6 catches for 81 yards and the score, but star man was Steven Ridley, as the running back ran for 101 yards and a score. It's hard to have too much faith in Ridley though, as Bellichik is notoriously unpredictable when it comes to his backs, and Shane Vereen may well take over the load again next week. From an IDP perspective, Chandler Jones, the DE for the Patriots, had a stellar week with 6 tackles, 2 sacks, and a blocked kick returned for a TD.

Down in Jersey, the Arizona Cardinals overcame a short week, cross country travel, and a QB crying off on the morning of the game, to overcome the New York Giants 25-14 in a mad game. So many poor calls, bad mistakes and great plays made this a very interesting game, but the Cardinals will be delighted to start 2-0. Strangely, despite scoring just twice, this was a game where the Giants, and Eli Manning in particular, looked quite decent. Manning had 277 yards passing, with 2 scores. He also added 2 interceptions, but 1 of them was in garbage time. The other, unfortunately, was a typical Manning interception at a bad time. Rashad Jennings looked good at running back, with 18 carries for 64 yards, but he made the games biggest mistake with an unforced fumble when the Giants were trying to go in and equalise the game in the fourth quarter. Jennings certainly seems to be the favourite back though, getting 10 more carries than Andre Williams, who only got 12 yards on his 8 carries. Jennings also caught 4 passes for 45 yards in the game, but Manning's favourite target was TE Larry Donnell with 7 catches for 81 yards. Victor Cruz had 5 receptions for 60 yards, and gave Patrick Peterson fits at times, but Peterson stuck at it and broke up several other passes to Cruz. Rueben Randle was another receiver who produced, with 4 receptions for 45 yards and a TD. For the Cardinals, backup Drew Stanton started in place of Carson Palmer, and he was hardly prolific. He was safe however, which allowed the Cardinals win the game, but Stanton's line of 14/29, 167 yards, 0 TDs, 0 INTS won't exactly get Fantasy Owners all excited. Larry Fitzgerald showed some signs of life with 6 catches for 51 yards, but the rest of the receiving corps was quiet, and will be hoping for the return of Palmer to be imminent. Michael Floyd had 1 for 19 yards, and John Brown had 3 for 28. Andre Ellington had a very solid game on the ground, as he rushed for 91 yards on 15 carries, a clip of over 6 yards per carry.  Jonathan Dwyer vultured the short yardage TD, and ended up with 31 yards on 9 carries. A note on special teams here sees Ted Ginn Jr answering the doubters with a 71 yard punt return for a TD, which basically won the game.

Yet another couple of notable injuries in Washington, as the Jacksonville Jaguars were stomped on by the Washington Redskins, 41-10. All the more impressive as the Redskins lost their starting QB, Robert Griffin III in the first quarter. The unfortunate former Baylor man had a bad ACL injury a couple of years ago, and was absolutely hampered by it last year, but this time he has dislocated his ankle, and potentially broken a bone in his tibia. Potentially a season ending injury, which is bad news for him, his team, and his fantasy owners. Luckily for the Redskins, they have one of the better backups in Kirk Cousins, and he took to this game like a duck to water, ending with 22/33 for 250 yards and a pair of TDs. Niles Paul, the backup TE, was the main target for Cousins with 8 receptions for 99 yards and a TD. Also getting their slice of the pie were Andre Roberts (4 for 57) and Ryan Grant (5/57). The second significant injury in this game was the shoulder of DeSean Jackson, which saw him leave the game, however his status is more hopeful and he may even play in week 3. Not injured, but very much ignored by Kirk Cousins was Pierre Garcon, who only ended up with 1 catch for 12 yards, out of only 4 targets. On the ground, Albert Morris had a good day with 85 yards on 22 attempts, and sniffing out the endzone twice. Silas Redd had the more impressive backup numbers, rather than Roy Helu, with 8 for 41 and a TD. Jacksonville will want to wipe this one from the memory banks, as it was a write off for nearly all their players, and not much better from a fantasy perspective. Chad Henne had a mediocre day with 14 completions from 28 attempts for 193 yards, 1 TD and 1 INT. Marcedes Lewis, the Tight End, was the exception to the rule as he had 71 yards and a TD, but given he only had 2 receptions, 1 of them being a 63 yard score on a busted coverage, I'm not sure how repeatable that is. News breaking on Monday was that Lewis had picked up a sprained ankle as well, so probably best to stay away from him for the time being. Allen Robinson was promising with 4 for 75 in the absence of Cecil Shorts, but as Shorts is probably going to be back quickly, maybe for this weekend, that may not be a pattern either. The less said about the Jags ground game the better, with only one running back carrying the ball, Toby Gerhart 7 times for 8 yards. Given that Henne outrushed him by 9 yards it shows the paucity of the Jaguars ground attack.

Part 3 -

Detroit Lions went to Carolina full of confidence after handling the Giants in Week 1, but the Panthers put a stop to their gallop fairly emphatically on a score of 24-7. Cam Newton made his season debut for the PAnthers, after missing week 1 through a rib injury, but he didn't look affected at all as he led his team to the win with a strong showing of 22/34 for 281 yards and a TD, as well as 4 rushes for 19 yards. Greg Olsen, the former Bears TE, did most of the catching for him, with 6 for 72, but ex Eagle Jason Avant caught the TD pass, as he finished with 5 catches for 54 yards. In DeAngelo Williams' injury absence, Jonathan Stewart rushed 15 times and a touchdown, but only had 37 yards in total, which wouldn't inspire confidence going into future games if Williams is out of business. If the Panthers' rushing game was poor, the Lions' backs weren't much better. Joique Bell made the most yardage, 36, but had a fumble while Reggie Bush had only 26 yards, but only had 6 carries and wasn't a factor in the passing game either. Calvin Johnson had an unbelievable week 1, but wasn't able to back that up as he had 6 catches for 83 yards. Golden Tate had a decent 5 for 57, while Bell had another 61 yards from 6 catches.

A contender for game of the week took place in SoCal as the San Diego Chargers played almost a perfect game to shoot down the high flying Seattle Seahawks 30-21. Despite losing Ryan Matthews (another major injury, an MCL with an undefined return), they found a way to take the vaunted Seattle D apart. That way was the old Philip Rivers-Antonio Gates combination, as they made it like 2009 all over again. Rivers ended up with 28/37 for 284 yards and 3 TDs, while Tight End Gates caught all 3 TDs, as part of his 7 catches for 96 yards. Eddie Royal had an Eddie Royal day, which usually happens about twice a year, with 7 for 69. Keenan Allen had 5 for 55, which isn't that impressive on the face of it, but a fair few of those were in the face of Richard Sherman, who is one of the most intimidating corners in the league. Danny Woodhead had 4 catches for 28 yards, as well as 8 carries for another 32. Mathews had 31 yards on 11 carries before the injury, and Donald Brown took over the workload with 7 carries for 21 yards. Brown may be the feature back going forward, with Woodhead the passing back.  For the Seahawks, it was one of those days. Russell Wilson was fine, with 202 yards and 2 TDs, while Jermaine Kearse had 4 catches for 61. There were a couple of surprising performances and juxtaposed scoring situations as well. Percy Harvin was irrelevant in the passing game (1 for 5 yards) but had a (dodgy) 51 yard TD run, while Marshawn Lynch was criminally, and unbelievably, underused in the running game (6 carries for 36 yards). Lynch, however, had 4 receptions for 27 yards and a TD. A strange day.

One of the low key games of the week took place in Tampa Bay as the Buccanneers fell 19-17 to the Saint Louis Rams, and there wasn't much Fantasy impact to talk about really. A notable feature, however, might be the return to relevance of Zac Stacey, as the young Rams back carried the ball 19 times for 71 yards and a TD. Austin Davis started as QB for the Rams, and had a nothing day, with 235 yards passing, no scores, no interceptions. Brian Quick was the main receiver with 7 for 74, and everyone else was minimal. For the Buccs, feature back Doug Martin was yet another injury victim, inactive before the game with a knee injury which is not supposed to be serious, but he is still questionable for a Thursday game this week. In his absence, Bobby Rainey had a very good day, and might be worth a pickup if Martin is doubtful going forward. Rainey carried the ball for 144 yards on 22 carries, and also caught 3 passes for 30 yards. Josh McCown had a very underwhelming day with 179 yards and 1 Interception, and his targets were spread out so no one had a big day, with Vincent Jackson's 4 for 51 the best of a mediocre bunch. McCown did have 2 rushing touchdowns himself, from short yardage.

A big AFC West clash in the Mile High City saw the Denver Broncos topple the Kansas City Chiefs 24-17. Peyton Manning was his usual efficient and productive self with 21/26 for 242 Yards and 3 Touchdowns. Emmanuel Sanders was the primary target with 8 receptions for 108 yards, but the big names still did the business as Denarius Thomas had 5 for 62 and a touchdown, while Tight End Julius Thomas had 4 for 39 and a TD himself. On the ground, Montee Ball had 12 carries for 60 yards, and appears to be safe as the workhorse back. Given Manning's proficiency though, 12-15 carries may be his pattern for this year. Ball did also catch 3 passes for 29 yards. For the Chiefs, Alex Smith was solid, but couldn't find the endzone on 26/42 for 255 yards. Travis Kelce was his best receiver with 4 catches for 81 yards, although Kniles Davis had a strong game as he caught 6 balls for 26 yards, and also had 79 yards and 2 scores on the ground. He caught fumblitis though, and put 2 balls on the ground, which is not a good recipe for continued workload in this league. Dwayne Bowe continues to underwhelm with 3 catches for 40 yards.

Final Part, Part 4 - Sheesh this was harder than I thought!

In Green Bay, the New York Jets coughed up a winning 21-3 lead to the Green Bay Packers and ended up going down 31-24. Aaron Rodgers kick started his season for the Pack with 346 yards passing on 42 passing attempts, with 3 TDs. The old reliables at WR were at it again for the Packers as Jordy Nelson ended up with a monster 209 yards on 9 catches, with a score, while Randall Cobb had 2 scores on 5 receptions and 39 yards. Eddie Lacy was subdued on the ground with only 13 carries for 43 yards, but maybe his concussion meant they were taking it a bit easier with him. He also caught 2 balls for 18 yards. For the Jets, Geno Smith looked great, and then pathetic, and then average again, as he ended with 16/32 for 176 yards, 1 TD and 1 INT. His TD was caught by Eric Decker, as the former Bronco had 4 catches for 63 yards and the score. On the ground, Geno had a touchdown himself, on 7 carries for 26 yards, but the nominal running backs split time. Chris Johnson was disappointing with 21 yards on 12 carries, while Chris Ivory didn't set the world alight with 43 yards on 13 carries. Ivory did, however, add a TD and it's a bit worrying for Johnson owners, after a good week 1, that the carries were so evenly split, and that Ivory did better with his.

Houston Texans are looking good in the early going, and they had no trouble with the turnover happy Oakland Raiders as they cruised to a 30-14 win in the Bay Area. Ryan Fitzpatrick continues to keep the offense ticking along in limited passing, as he had 2 TDs on 139 yards passing, 14 of 19 attempts. He is prone to the odd mad pass which could have easily been intercepted but he's avoiding them thus far. Andre Johnson found himself on the receiving end of 6 of those 14 successful passes, to the tune of 74 yards, but DeAndre Hopkins and JJ Watt, yes, that's right, utility DL and sometimes TE JJ Watt, were the men who hauled in the scores. Arian Foster continues to show good form with 138 rushing yards and a Touchdown, while Alfred Blue looks like a reasonable backup with 11 carries for 40 yards. For Oakland, David Carr's younger brother, Derek shows he has potential with some nicely thrown balls, and some horrible ones. He ended up with 263 yards, 1 TD and 2 INTs on 27 of 42 passing. His TD was caught by James Jones, who is an intriguing prospect at WR for these Raiders. He had 9 catches for 112 yards and that score, and may well be productive with Carr at QB. Darren McFadden replaced the unavailable Maurice Jones Drew, and had 21 yards fewer rushing than his QB (58 v 37). He did find the endzone on 1 of those 12 carries though, and also caught 2 passes for 31 yards for a reasonable fantasy day.

Sunday night's game was a belter. The Chicago Bears looked down and out at the party to open the San JoseSan Francisco 49ers' new stadium, but rallied impressively behind the much maligned Jay Cutler to snatch a great win. Cutler ended up with only 176 yards on 23/34 passing, but he had 4 TDs. The main man at the end of those TD passes was the ultra impressive Brandon Marshall, who was playing with an ankle injury, yet ended up with 5 catches for 48 yards and a hat trick of scores. Alshon Jeffrey was limited with a hamstring injury, but had 3 catches for 47 yards himself. The other Touchdown grabber was also the high man for receiving, Martellus Bennet, as he had 6 other receptions, as well as the score, for a total of 37 yards. Matt Forte, however, struggled with only 21 yards on 12 carries. He did have another 5 catches for 15 yards, but so far this season he is totalling 13 receptions for 102 yards and 103 yards rushing. the receptions are fine, but the rushing needs to pick up. He also hasn't found the endzone yet, which is important in our scoring too. The 49ers will be sick to lose their first game at their new home, but of more importance may be the injury to Vernon Davis. He left the game with what may be a sprain in the 4th quarter, and may be out for up to 4 weeks. Given how productive he was in week 1, they could do without that loss. In this game he had 3 receptions for 39 yards before the injury. Michael Crabtree was the top receiver for the Niners with 7 catches for 82 yards and a TD, while Frank Gore was the main orthodox rusher with 63 yards on 13 carries, as Carlos Hyde continues to be on very sparse rations in terms of carries. Colin Kaepernick had a good day on the ground with 66 yards, although he coughed one up, but he was very errratic through the air. He started well, but ended up with 248 yards, 1 TD and 3 INTS. Hard to win with turnovers in the NFL, and Kaepernick kept throwing interceptions when he couldn't afford to.


Finally, onto the Monday night game, and a big, big win for Chip Kelly and his high paced Philadelphia Eagles over the hometown Indianapolis Colts 30-27 on a last minute field goal from Cody Parkey after the Colts had seemed in control. The story of this game is undoubtedly Darren Sproles, as the diminutive dual threat running back gained 152 yards from 7 receptions as well as a Rushing TD on 26 yards on the ground. Nick Foles overcame a stuttery opening to end up with 331 yards, 1 TD and 1 INT, while Zach Ertz and Jeremy Maclin were the others to do damage through the air, with Maclin hauling in the the TD pass. LeSean McCoy added a TD on the ground, with 79 yards on 20 rushing attempts, while Foles himself had 22 rushing yards. The Colts had some solid performances, but threw away a game they should have won. Andrew Luck had only 172 yards through the air, but had 3 TDs and just the 1 INT. Ironically, his main threat through the air was Ahmad Bradshaw, the RB, who ended up with 2 TDs on 5 receptions. TY Hilton had 6 receptions and 65 yards, but no score, while the other passing TD was caught by TE Jack Doyle, who doesn't play hurling for Tipperary, but does catch touchdowns for the Colts.  Trent Richardson looked a lot better at times, with 79 yards on 21 carries, and 1 reception, but he put the ball on the ground twice, and that is not a good thing when Ahmad Bradshaw is looking for work.

Adrian Petersen suspended indefinitely! I'd say he's done for the year. The Vikings have suspended him in such a way that he must stay away from all team facilities and activities.

The NFL is really struggling to handle these issues, and are doing a bad job of it. On Monday Petersen was 'back with the team and expected to play on Sunday'.

The Cardinals deactivated Jonathan Dwyer a couple of hours later. Proper order. This is ridiculous. This weekend you have Ray Rice, Adrian Petersen, Greg Hardy and now Jonathan Dwyer suspended for off field violence. I think the NFL is taking a serious pasting on this, and it's because they fannied around with Ray Rice and Petersen first off.

They were entirely right to faff around with Peterson. Dwyer should be in the same boat, neither man has been convicted of anything yet and it's not for the NFL to play the role of jury before all the evidence comes out. If they are convicted by all means throw the book at them but until then all men should be presumed innocent.

The Cardinals deactivated Jonathan Dwyer a couple of hours later. Proper order. This is ridiculous. This weekend you have Ray Rice, Adrian Petersen, Greg Hardy and now Jonathan Dwyer suspended for off field violence. I think the NFL is taking a serious pasting on this, and it's because they fannied around with Ray Rice and Petersen first off.

They were entirely right to faff around with Peterson. Dwyer should be in the same boat, neither man has been convicted of anything yet and it's not for the NFL to play the role of jury before all the evidence comes out. If they are convicted by all means throw the book at them but until then all men should be presumed innocent.

Sorry David, but if you were accused of something like this, there's a fair chance you'd be on Gardening Leave. That's what should have happened here.

So they aren't entitled to a presumption of innocence? Rice is a different situation but for me anyone only suspected of an offence should receive proper due process. Suspending an athlete is different to placing an employee on gardening leave too because of the the usually comparatively short careers.

They are on full pay. They can be presumed innocent, and that's why they are being paid, and not outright cut. (Like Ray Rice).

Of course there's an element now of the NFL trying, vainly, to recover lost ground after the debacle of Ray Rice. They made a balls of that one, and claiming the video was new evidence that warranted going from a 2 game suspension to an indefinite ban and a loss of his job in about a week was an absolute joke.

In my job, if I was arrested and charged with beating my wife, or abusing my child, I would expect to be on Gardening Leave. These guys are representing their 'companies' as well, and in full view of millions of people. You have to take them out of that situation, on full pay, until it is resolved in some fashion.

DUIs, or DWIs, are different, but major felony charges like this, or murder or anything like that, and you can't have them playing away as if nothing was wrong.

I think we will have to agree to disagree on this one. Taking Peterson for example his trial is unlikely to conclude this season so he's likely not to play for the whole season which will equate to about 10% of his career or about 20% of his prime. That's a massive time to miss if he's acquitted. It's not the same as gardening leave.

Also I can't understand the distinction with DUI's etc. I mean where do you draw the line which side of the line would for example,theft or  tax evasion or careless driving cause GBI come on the line?  To me that's a double standard.

As I say if he's guilty by all means throw the book at him but not until then

It's perception David. A felony assault on a woman or a child is one of those egregious crimes that many people would put at the high end of the felony scales. It may be a double standard, I wouldn't argue that point, but if someone is arrested for assaulting their spouse/partner or child, I don't want him on my team.

I can understand that point of view but for me until all the evidence is tested I feel anyone accused of an offence should be entitled to remain on the team and compete.

On the plus side none of these players are on my team for tonight

Tampa Bay Buccaneers (0-2) @ Atlanta Falcons (1-1) Sky Sports 2

Sunday September 21st 6pm Irish Time

Sunday 21st September (1.30am Monday 22nd September)

Monday 22nd September (1.30am Tuesday 23nd September)
Chicago Bears (1-1)  @ New York Jets (1-1) Setanta Ireland and Eurosport 2


Some doozies there. The Buccs were tipped by a few people to be dark horses, but have started 0-2. They're away to a division rival in Atlanta, and if they go 0-3 it's going to be hard to come back from that. Likewise the Giants, at home with their 0-2 record against the 2-0 Houston Texans and JJ Watt. The Pack and Lions meet in a huge NFC North Game, where all 4 teams are locked at 1-1, but with the Vikings losing Peterson, you'd think this is a 3 horse race with the Bears as well. The Lions will want to hold serve. The Colts are 0-2 as well, and can't afford a slip up away to the hapless Jaguars, while the Saints are also 0-2 and hosting the aforementioned Vikings.  Serious pressure on those teams. In Arizona, the 49ers will try and make a statement to the Cardinals and catch them at 2-1, while up in Seattle on Sunday there's a repeat of the Superbowl as the 2-0 Broncos go and try and take on the Seahawks.  Some great games on the slate, and some season defining ones possibly, even at this stage.

Disagree with this completely.

"Not getting arrested for domestic violence is a pretty low bar to set" was a specific line from it. Don't think it's too much to ask.

Just to counter balance a little bit, there are an awful lot of genuine good lads in the NFL as well. People like Larry Fitzgerald, Drew Brees and a lot of others do an awful lot of good with their profile. My favourite might just be JJ Watt, the Texans DL. He seems to be a very down to earth good guy. See this, and especially the first story, which would put a lump in your throat.

How do you control not getting arrested?  Not saying that any of the recent arrests were unwarranted but imagine a position where a jilted ex-lover makes a sexual assault or domestic assault claim.  Should you be suspended in such a situation with no recourse should you ultimately be acquitted?

No, if there was a complaint and police turned up to the house to find a wife or girlfriend battered, bleeding or bruised, then that would be probable cause.

Where do you draw the line? Oscar Pistorious was presumed innocent until last week - should he have been competing away while all the charges hung over him, even though he'd been charged with murder?

That's a completely different situation. Evans no longer has a presumption of innocence and its up to the sporting bodies of they so choose to decide on whether or not they allow criminals like that to participate in the sport, same now with Pistorious.  I would have no objection if they banned players for committing crimes or certain crimes (although I disagree with lifetime bans personally) provided they enforce such rules fairly and consistently. Similarly it's up to an employer to decide to hire someone or not based on their record. As I said earlier in the thread feel free to throw the book at players who are convicted.

That's completely different though to banning an individual for merely being accussed of a crime.

OK, Week 3, here we go and no arrests to report this week so far....

Montana Superbowl

Faithful Turfmen B 106.59 - 94.69 Ruthless Rossies

Far from a stellar week for the Turfmen 'B', but it was enough to condemn the Rossies to their 3rd straight defeat, and in the process extend the Faithful Turfmen 'B's winning start to the season. The difference maker in the game was Atlanta WR Julio Jones, who had a fantastic Thursday night against the hapless Buccs, catching 9 passes for 161 yards and 2 TDs for a tally of 34.05 points. Russell Wilson (QB-SEA) and  Calvin Johnson (WR-DET) were the only others to break the 10 point mark, but the rest did just enough to bring the win home. For the Rossies, there were actually 5 positions which netted at least 10 points, with top marks going to Seattle tough guy safety Kam Chancellor. He added 16 points from 6 tackles, 1 Interception, 1 Forced Fumble and 2 Passes Defended. Cordarelle Patterson (WR-MIN), Rob Gronkowski (TE-NE), New Orleans DEF and JJ Watt (DL-HOU) were the other double digit gainers for the men of Roscommon.

Smackdown Clowns 125.74 - 119.61 Ballyhaise Bills

The Smackdown Clowns got off the mark with their first win of the season thanks to a solid performance against the Ballyhaise Bills, who drop to 1-2. This victory was only sealed last night as the Chicago Bears DEF outscored Ballyhaise Bills' Matt Forte (RB-CHI) on Monday Night Football. Indeed the Bears DEF were the Clowns top scorer of the week with 22 points from 3 Sacks, 2 Interceptions, 1 Fumble Recovery and 1 Touchdown. Emmanuel Sanders (WR-DEN) was the top scoring individual player for the Clowns, and he was joined by Ahmad Bradshaw (RB-NYG), Peyton Manning (QB-IND), Steven Gostkowski (K-NE), Carlos Dunlap (DE-CIN) in getting more than 10 points.  The Bills will count themselves a little unlucky to come out on the losing side, given the great showing on Monday night by the Bears DEF, but they had good outings from Drew Brees (QB-NO), Brian Hartline (WR-MIA), Victor Cruz (WR-NYG), Eric Weddle (S-SD) and top scorer Rashad Jennings, the New York Giants' running back. Jennings gained 18.80 points on a massive 176 rushing yards and 1 TD.

Coolera Bears 147.38 - 126.68 Oraisteach's Browns

The Champions bounced back from their reverse last week with a fine performance to push their record to 2-1 after a 21 point win over the 1-2 Oraisteach's Browns. This despite a miserable -1 return from New Orleans Kicker Shayne Graham who managed to miss a PAT in the game v Minnesota. On a better note, the Bears were led by standout Pittsburgh Steeler wide receiver Antonio Brown. Brown, a fifth year man out of Central Michigan, had 26.93 points on 10 receptions for 90 yards and 2 TDs. He had ample backup from the likes of Jay Cutler (QB-CHI), Marshawn Lynch (RB-SEA), LeVeon Bell (RB-PIT), Travis Kelce (TE-KC), The Colts DEF and LaVonte David (LB-TB) who all ended up with more than 10 points. The Browns had 4 positions breaking the 10 point barrier, chief amongst whom was veteran Washington Redskins WR Pierre Garcon. The ex-Colt had 25.90 points on 11 receptions for 138 receiving yards and 1 TD. Others to show well for the Browns were Giovanni Bernard (RB-CIN), Fred Jackson (RB-BUF) and Blair Walsh (K-MIN).

hegan's clowns 125.35 - 109.41 Savage Bears

Hegan's clowns got themselves up and running with a good win over the Savage Bears, as they held on for a 16 point win. The Clowns' first win of the season was spearheaded by the play of Atlanta Falcons QB Matt Ryan, as he enjoyed himself in the win over Tampa Bay on Thursday night. Ryan threw for 286 yards and 3 TDs for a top scoring 19.92 points. Dez Bryant (WR-DAL), DeSean Jackson (WR-WAS), Zac Stacy (RB-STL), Adam Vinatieri (K-IND) and the Chiefs DEF were the other big scorers for the winners. For the Bears, who fall to 2-1, Andrew Luck was very impressive at QB in the Colts trouncing of Jacksonville. The Stanford man threw for 370 yards and 4 TDs for a great score of 28.15 points to lead the way for the Bears. Unfortunately his teammates couldn't follow the lead although Julian Edelman (NE-WR), Greg Olsen (TE-CAR),  Percy Harvin (WR-SEA) and Cody Parkey (K-PHI) did their best. In hindsight it was really the returns from Jordy Nelson (WR-GB), Danny Woodhead (SD-RB injured) and the 49ers DEF that let the Bears down.

New York Jets VIII 109.40 - 64.12 Colm O'Mealoid

In the final game of the week we had a blowout, as the Jets VIII handed out a 45 point trashing to the previously unbeaten Colm O'Mealoid. It wasn't even as if the Jets, picking up their second win of the year, were overly impressive. Moreso that the O'Mealoid squad completely tanked in Week 3. The Jets VIII were led by Nick Foles, the Eagles QB, with 23.10 points on 325 Passing Yards, and 3 TDS, but only really had Alshon Jeffrey (WR-CHI) and Justin Tucker (K-BAL) to impress other than that. O'Mealoid will be disappointed his squad couldn't make a better impression on the scoreboard, but with Matt Stafford (QB-DET) returning 0.32 points and Roddy White (WR-ATL) sitting out Thursday's game, it was left to DeMArco Murray, the Dallas tailback, and his 16.55 points to be the sole double digit man for Colm O'Mealoid in a week they will want to forget.

Walter Payton B Championship

Faithful Turfmen 149.45 - 95.68 Galway Bay Tribesmen

A strong showing from the Turfmen was good enough to maintain their 100% start to the season, and condemn the Tribesmen to their first defeat. The Tribesmen won't be happy not to have at least broken the 100 point mark, with a fair scattering of low scores throughout the roster, including a -1 return from Shayne Graham, the New Orleans Kicker. There were strong performances from several Tribesmen though, with the high mark being set by Dallas running back DeMarco Murray, who returned 16.55 points from 100 rushing yards, 1 rushing TD and 4 receptions for 31 yards. He was joined in avoiding the doghouse by Jay Cutler (QB-CHI), Rob Gronkowski (TE-NE) and the Miami DEF. The winners had several very strong performances, including a game high 25.90 points from Washington Redskins WR Pierre Garcon, who amassed 11 catches for 138 yards and 1 TD. Buttressed by that performance, Nick Foles (QB-PHI), Dez Bryant (WR-DAL), Steve Smith Snr (BAL-WR), Marshawn Lynch (RB-SEA) and Nick Folk (K-NYJ) helped to drive the Turfmen home.

Red Hand Helmets 99.74 - 101.15 Big Apple Orchards

A close game between these Tyrone and Armagh protagonists ended up with the Orchards sealing their first win of the season, and condemning the Helmets to their second loss. In such a tight game, one big performance can be the difference, and so it transpired here. With only two positions yielding more than 10 points for the Orchards, Andrew Luck rode to the rescue with 28.15 points. The Colts QB threw for 370 yards and 4 TDs in a big time contribution to the cause. The only other 10 point man was Dallas Kicker Dan Bailey, and so the Orchards will be relieved to have held out. The Helmets had 4 positions over 10 points, led by the Chiefs DEF with 15 points, and joined by JJ Watt (DL-HOU), Calvin Johnson (WR-DET) and LeVeon Bell (RB-PIT) but will be bitterly disappointed to lose in such a manner given Arien Foster (RB-HOU) missed out on playing this week, due to injury, and Aaron Rodgers (QB-GB) returning a decidedly mediocre 7.24 points.

Bear You To Shreds 122.54 - 96.29 Rehab is 4 Quitters

A more comfortable winning margin in this one, as the Shreds get up and running with the first win of their young season against the erstwhile unbeaten Quitters. The Shreds were powered by 5 double digit performers in Drew Brees (QB-NO), Reggie Bush (RB-DET), Robbie Gould (K-CHI), the Denver DEF and top of the pops, Michael Crabtree, the mercurial WR for the San Francisco 49ers. In a game versus the mighty Arizona Cardinals Defence, Crabtree managed to snag 10 receptions for 80 yards and a score - good enough for 20.20 points and pointed the way for Bear you to Shreds. The Quitters had 5 strong performers themselves, paced by Peyton Manning (QB-DEN) and his 303 passing yards and 2 TD passes for 18.01 points. Greg Olsen (TE-CAR), Percy Harvin (WR-SEA), Eric Weddle (S-SD) and Levonte David (LB-TB) were the others who did themselves justice over the weekend, but it wasn't enough.

Crossmaglen Hitmen 142.41 - 98.08 Gary ONeills Team

The Hitmen easily disposed of Gary O'Neill's team in this clash, earning their second win of the season and in the process sending the O'Neills to their third straight defeat to start the year. The Hitmen overcame Detroit QB Mathew Stafford's forgettable night (0.42 points) to rack up an impressive total, thanks to 6 double digit positions. The star performer was Steelers wideout Antonio Brown and his 26.93 points from 2 TD receptions, and 10 receptions overall for 90 yards. Brown was assisted by Julian Edelman (WR-NE), Cody Parkey (K-PHI), the Cincinnati DEF, Tamba Hali (LB-KC) and the impressive Kyle Fuller (CB-CHI) who had 20 points himself, on 6 tackles, an INT and 2 forced fumbles.  ONeills had good showings from star man Alshon Jeffrey (WR-CHI), he had 105 receiving yards on 8 receptions for 15.90 points, Giovanni Bernard (RB-CIN), Justin Tucker (K-BAL) and the New Orleans DEF. O'Neills will be worried about the form of Tom Brady (QB-NE) and Larry Fitzgerald (WR-ARI) as they are just not producing big numbers so far this season.

L'Esprit de Biff 130.98 - 92.67 M4S Someday

L'Esprit de Biff claimed their second win in a row this weekend, as they saw off M4S Someday by 38 points, which puts the Mayo squad on 1-2 for the year. The Biffs can thank the top man, Julio Jones and his 34.05 points for a large portion of their tally for the week. The Falcons WR made hay against the Buccs on Thursday night to the tune of 161 yards, 9 receptions and 2 TDs. Victor Cruz (WR-NYG), Knile Davis (RB-KC), Brandin Cooks (WR-NO) and Steven Gostkowski (K-NE) made sure Jones' effort was rewarded with a victory as they chipped in significantly to the overall score. For the Someday squad, well, it wasn't this day. Fred Jackson (RB-BUF), Rashad Jennings (RB-NYG) and Matt Ryan (QB-ATL) did their best, with Ryan's 19.82 points (what a great year that was) coming off 286 yards and 3 passing TDs. Unfortunately for the Mayo men, below par performances from the likes of Antonio Gates, Keenan Allen, Sammy Watkins and Eddie Lacy  ensured the Biffs had enough in the tank.

Jerry Rice C Championship

Faithful Turfmen C 103.11 - 125.41 Sean's Team

The Turfmen's 'C' team fell to a 22 point defeat this week, going to 1-2 on the season, against the unbeaten 3-0 Sean's Team. Sean had Andrew Luck, the Colts Quarterback, as his main man with 28.15 points on 370 passing yards and 4 TDs but Luck was joined by Victor Cruz (WR-NYG), DeMarco Murray (RB-DAL), Michael Floyd (WR-ARI) and Justin Tucker (K-BAL) in the heavy scoring category, and it was enough to seal the deal. The Turfmen tried to rally on Monday night with Michael Bennett's good performance at Tight End for the Chicago Bears adding 19.70 points to the tally through 5 receptions for 54 yards and 2 TDs, however the lack of support around the roster meant the Turfmen came up short. Only Drew Brees (QB-NO) and Blair Walsh (K-MIN) contributed meaningfully to the losing effort.

Antrim89 97.25 - 83.72 Ronan's Team

A low scoring encounter in this one sees the glensmen hang on for a 14 point win, their second success of the season. Ronan's team falls to 1-2 on the year. Antrim89 had the game's standout performer in Jeremy Maclin, the Eagles wide receiver, who had 154 receiving yards and 1 TD on 8 receptions for 26.70 points. Maclin was aided by Percy Harvin (WR-SEA), Knile Davis (RB-KC), Greg Olsen (TE-CAR) and the Saint Louis DEF, as the 89 team overcame weak showings from Mason Crosby (K-GB), Frank Gore (RB-SF) and even Aaron Rodgers (QB-GB). Ronan had 4 big scorers, with the pick of the bunch being the Detroit DEF and their 23 points on 2 Sacks, 1 Fumble Recovery, 1 Safety and 1 Touchdown. Matt Ryan (QB-ATL), Dez Bryant (WR-DAL) and  Lamar Miller (RB-MIA) tried in vain to turn the tide, but Ronan's team was seriously held back by Brandon Marshall (WR-CHI), Antonio Gates (TE-SD), Roddy White (injured ATL WR) and Phil Dawson (K-SF). Those 4 should be 10 point men almost every week, but this week combined for 2.70 points in TOTAL!

FermanaghandSam 122.79 - 137.26 Oakleaf Dolphins

The Oakleaf Dolphins held on for a 15 point win over FermanaghandSam, and in doing so extended their unbeaten start to 3-0. The Dolphins were inspired by 7 double digit contributors, Peyton Manning (QB-DEN), Calvin Johnson (WR-DET), Leveon Bell (RB-PIT), Dan Bailey (K-DAL), the Bengals DEF, Alec Ogletree (LB-STL) and the leader of them all Emmanuel Sanders (WR-DEN). Manning found Sanders 11 times for 149 yards, good enough for 21 points. FermanaghandSam turned in a decent performance themselves, and were best served by top scorer Julio Jones (WR-ATL). It's a shame to waste such an effort, as Jones contributed 34.05 points this week and the Fermanagh lads will be hoping he has some left for future weeks when such a score might lead to a win. Jones was helped in this futile pursuit by Tony Romo (QB-DAL), Rashad Jennings (RB-NYG) and AJ Green (WR-CIN).

Troy PolaMAYO 115.26 - 118.25 David's Superb Team

Well, yet again David's Superb Team lives up to it's tag, albeit in a very tight encounter with another one of our Mayo teams in a battle of undefeateds. This time around, the Superb team had to overcome weak showings at QB (Matt Stafford - DET, 0.32 points), RB (Montee Ball - DEN, 2.20 points) and at DEF (Carolina, 1 pt). That they managed to do so, and move to 3-0, is largely thanks to Beast Mode, Marshawn Lynch, the Seattle Running Back. Lynch carried the ball for 88 yards and a TD against Denver, as well as catching a TD pass and 40 yards through the air for 21.40 points and man of the match. Cordarelle Patterson (WR-MIN), Julian Edelman (WR-NE), Ahmad Bradshaw (RB-IND), Cody Parkey (K-PHI) and Levonte David (LB-TB) helped translate that into a win but sometimes even a poor performance can make a difference if you get one lucky break. Denarius Thomas (WR-DEN) is a fantasy stud, but was kept in check to the tune of 3 receptions for 17 yards by the Seattle Defence. However, thanks to one of those receptions being a Touchdown, Thomas' little 9.85 points turned defeat into victory. Troy PolaMAYO will be disappointed to fall to 2-1in a game they were well in contention, but just as there are what ifs and might have beens on all teams, LeSean McCoy (RB-PHI) returning a meagre 1.10 points will be hard to swallow in such a tight defeat. Of the players who did score well for PolaMAYO, Antonio Brown, the Steelers wideout, was the most eye catching with 2 TDs from 9 receptions and 90 yards for 26.93 points. Jay Cutler (QB-CHI), Pierre Garcon (WR-WAS), Rob Gronkowski (TE-NE) and JJ Watt (DL-HOU) all did well, but it was just those players you'd expect to do a little better like McCoy, Darren Sproles, Andre Ellington and the Houston DEF which cost the win.

UShane's Bolts 138.82 - 116.04 Geezers49ers

The Bolts rode 7 double digit performances to their first win of the season in this battle of 0-2 teams, and thus confirmed the Geezers slow start to the world of GAABoard Fantasy NFL. The Bolts are backboned by the NFL Bolts, the San Diego Chargers, but it was their direct opponent, Buffalo Bills Running Back Fred Jackson, who led the way in this tilt. Jackson only had 34 rushing yards, but had 78 receiving yards and a Touchdown on 8 receptions for 19.60 points. Philip Rivers (QB-SD), DeSean Jackson (WR-WAS), Reggie Bush (RB-DET), Pierre Thomas (RB-NO), Eric Weddle (S-SD) and the Chiefs DEF were the other big scorers in an important result for the Bolts. Geezers49ers will not be happy to be 20% through the season without a win, especially since they had an immense week from their DEF as the Falcons amassed 37 points from 3 sacks, 1 INT, 4 Fumble Recoveries, 1 Def TD and one Special Teams TD in a rout of Tampa Bay. Michael Crabtree gave some cause for hope as the 49er receiver had 20.20 points on 10 receptions for 80 yards and a TD versus the Cardinals and Steve Smith Snr showed well for Baltimore. However lax returns from Joe Flacco (QB-BAL), Jordy Nelson (WR-GB), Arien Fosters (Injured HOU RB), Owen Daniels (TE-BAL) and others meant that all this work went for nought.

Insane Clowney Posse 70.40 - 89.23 Mayo Monsters

The last game of our week was probably the worst game of the week, as befitting a pair of 0-2 teams, but that will matter not one bit to the Monsters as they reflect on getting their first win in this low scoring encounter. There were 3 double digits scores COMBINED in this one, with the Monsters coming out on top in that battle 2-1. For the Monsters, Giovanni Bernard (RB-CIN) and Adam Vinatieri (K-IND) were the top scorers, with Vintieri getting the honours thanks to 16 points from 3 Field Goals and 5 XPs.  Steven Gostkowski (K-NE) was the top scorer, and the only double digit scorer, for the posse with 10 points, as both teams will be anxious to see what they can do to maximise output at the skill positions. 70.40 and 89.23 points won't win too many games in this league, but for this week it was enough for the Monsters to get themselves going...

As well as three forced fumbles recovered by the Bears (he has forced a few more that went out over the sideline or were recovered by the offense). The kid has obviously been paying attention to Charles Tillman in camp.

For defensive player scoring, i reckon a Safety & Block Kick need to be increased from 2 points to 4 points. Minor one as they dont happen often but still i reckon they should get a little more credit...

One thing that I noticed watching the 49ers game at the weekend was for the first two TD's scored against them the Defense in Fantasy football had points deducted. 1st TD was a blocked punt, special teams which is still the Offense and the 2nd TD was an interception thrown by Kap. Found that strange as Kap got the points deducted against him for the pick and the Eagles defense got credited for both. I would have thought that the defense would have to be on the field to have the points deducted from them.

Whatever about the second one, the team DEF is technically called the Team Defense/Special Teams.

Can someone explain this to me? I thought i had won and the recap shows i did but when i clicked back in it didn't have any score for Alex Smith and has me as losing?

This looks like it was sorted out. Alex Smith has been credited with 17.36 points and you win by 5 or so.

I just checked on this. The Niners conceded 21 points, but were awarded  2 points for conceding 14-20 points. That means not all scores were counted against them. So I had a look. The Eagles scored 3 TDs, 1 by the Defence, as you said from an INT. The others were 2 Special Teams TDs. A Punt Block and a punt return. That accounts for 14 points, and thus the points they were awarded.

When you were looking at it, maybe it deducted the points and was then corrected afterwards?

Quite possible, I didn't go back and check on Monday. On the special teams being the defense, are the awarded points for a kick return or field goal? Technically they are the special team also. Anyway, points were given back so I'm happy the pick wasn't awarded against them.

OK, we're at the 1/3 point of the season now, with 5 weeks complete, so in lieu of a weekly matchup report, lets look at the standings in each championship, and see how the early season form has panned out. We'll also take a look at the team of the season so far....

First of all in the Montana Superbowl Championship competition, the picture is as follows.

The Vince Lombardi Division is headed by Faithful Turfmen 'B', with a 5-0 record, which is good enough for the #1 overall seed at the moment if the playoffs were to begin today. Unfortunately they don't. Hot on the Turfmen's heels are the reigning Champion Coolera Bears, on 4-1 and behind them come the 3-2 Savage Bears. 4th place in the Lombardi Division is the 2-3 hegan's clowns while the 1-4 Ruthless Rossies bring up the rear.

The George Halas Division is led by the 3-2 Oraisteach's Browns, with a logjam of 2-3 teams in 2nd, 3rd and 4th in this division as the Smackdown Clowns, New York Jets VIII and Colm O'MEaloid are only seperated by points scored. Bottom of the division is the 1-4 Ballyhaise Bills.

Overall, the Coolera Bears are the top scorers so far, with 729 points, while the hegan's clowns are the low scorers with 528.79.

If the playoffs were to start today, the #1 Overall Seed would be the Faithful Turfmen 'B', and they would face the #4 Savage Bears, also from the Lombardi Division. The #2 seed would be Oraisteach's Browns, by virtue of leading the Halas division, and they would play the #3 Coolera Bears.

Standings.
Vince Lombardi Division
                                        Record      v Division  For            Against

In the Walter Payton 'B' Championship, we don't currently have an unbeaten team, but we have 3 4-1 records in the early going. In the John Madden Division, The Faithful Turfmen lead the way on 4-1, on points scored, from the Galway Bay Tribesmen who also sit on 4-1. The Crossmaglen Hitmen on 3-2 are in 3rd place, ahead of the 1-4 Bear You To Shreds. Bringing up the rear are the winless 0-5 Gary O'Neill's Team.

The George Allen Division is very tight, led by L'Esprit de Biff on 4-1, followed closely by Rehab is 4 Quitters on 3-2. Behind the Quitters 3 teams are vying for 3rd place, all locked on 2-3. They are Red Hand Helmets, Big Apple Orchards and M4S Someday.

Top scorers are the 3-2 Hitmen with 732.19 points, while bottom of the pile is Gary O'Neill's Team with 457.92

If the playoffs started today, the #1 Seed would be the Faithful Turfmen, and they would face the #4 Crossmaglen Hitmen. #2 Seed, and Allen Division leader, L'Esprit de Biff would face #3 Galway Bay Tribesmen.

Finally, the Jerry Rice 'C' Championship is keenly contested. This is a 12 team league, which makes points even harder to come by, and 9 of the 12 teams are within 2 games of the overall lead. We have 4 teams at 4-1, 2 at 3-2 and 3 at 2-3. Leading the way, and leading the Andy Reid Division is the #1 seed, David's Superb Team and his 4-1 record. Behind him on points scored is Troy PolaMAYO in second place. Third is the 3-2 Antrim89 squad, while Mayo Monsters and their 2-3 record are 4th in the division. 5th is ronan's team at 1-4 while the hapless Insane Clowney Posse bring up the rear, winless for the season so far.

In the Bill Belichick Division, the leader is 4-1 Sean's Team, ahead on points scored of 2nd Place Oakleaf Dolphins. 3rd position is the 3-2 UShane's Bolts while Faithful Turfmen C are in 4th with a 2-3 record. 5th place, also on 2-3 is FermanaghandSam while the bottom of the division is held up by Geezers49ers on 1-4.

Top Scorers in this 12 team league is David's Superb Team with 661.96, while Insane Clowney Posse are lowest scorers with 486.10.

In the hypothetical playoff scenario for today, the #1 seed would be David's Superb Team, versus #4, division rival, Troy PolaMAYO. #2 seed would be the Belichick leader Sean's Team, and they would face fellow Belichick team #3 Oakleaf Dolphins.

Post by: AZOffaly on October 07, 2014, 11:59:49 AM
Finally for this week, the team of the season so far is

QB - Andrew Luck Indianapolis Colts - 107.59 Points

The Stanford man has been huge so far this season, and holds over 20 points of a lead from the second place QB, Peyton Manning, albeit with a game more played. Luck has fired 14 Touchdown passes so far, as against 6 interceptions for the 3-2 Colts. He has 1617 passing yards, and has also managed to rush for 65 yards and two touchdowns. He might be ready to take over from Peyton, Aaron Rodgers and Drew Brees as the Fantasy MVP for Quarterbacks.


RB1 - DeMarco Murray Dallas Cowboys - 89.70 Points

Murray was highly touted before the season began, but the worry was that the Cowboys, let by Tony Romo, would throw the ball left right and centre, and ignore the ground aspect of the game.  That hasn't materialised, however, and Murray has at least 22 carries in each of the 5 games played so far. He's gained 670 yards on the ground at a clip of over 5 yards per carry and has found the endzone 5 times.  The one knock on the ex-Sooner is a slight case of fumlitis, and he has lost 4 fumbles this season so far, which he will have to eliminate as a costly fumble could see him lose the confidence of the coaches. In a PPR league, normally the best backs catch a lot of passes, see Ray Rice, LeSean McCoy etc, however Murray is not that sort of a scat back. He has been part of the passing game, normally as a dump off checkdown option, but his 15 receptions for 124 yards don't put him in the traditional PPR back category. All points are useful however and so far Murray has been an integral reason for the Cowboys 4-1 start.

RB2 - Matt Forte Chicago Bears 75.90 Points

After week 3 of the season Forte owners had to be getting restless as the Chicago Bears feature back was not producing. A good week 1 was followed by 2 weeks of below par production for a PPR top 5 back, which is where most people would have seen Forte. However the last 2 weeks have seen improvement, and he finds himself as the #2 ranked back at the 1/3 point of our season. His 319 yards on 82 carries ( 3.89 per carry) with no touchdowns is not stellar, but Forte always has historically contributed heavily in the passing game in PPR and this year it is what has driven his value this high. 36 receptions for 299 yards and a touchdown evidently make up a big chunk of his 75.90 points to date.

WR1 - Antonio Brown Pittsburgh Steelers 96.79 Points

There have been some outstanding performances to date at the WR position, and no one has been better than the 5th year man out of Central Michigan, who has blossomed into Ben Roethlisbergers favourite and most dangerous target. Brown has been thrown the ball 51 times through 5 games, just over 10 a game, which you want from a #1 receiver. Even more important, he has hauled in 34 of those passes for 511 yards and 5 Touchdowns. He is on a pace for 163 targets, 108 catches, 1635 Yards and 16 Touchdowns. That would be 295 points (excluding bonuses) for the year in our league. That would make for a few very happy owners.

WR2 - Jordy Nelson Green Bay Packers 95.25 Points

Hot on Brown's heels is another Fantasy reliable this past few years, Packers wideout Jordy Nelson. Nelson and Cobb form a dangerous one two combination that Aaron Rodgers is well capable of using. Nelson has been the outstanding performer of the two thus far, but I think it's fair to say that Cobb has probably contributed to Nelson's somewhat erratic performance when viewed week by week. Week 1 saw 9 catches for 83 yards, week 2 was 9 for 209 yards, then week 3 was just 5 for 59, week 4 was 10 for 108, while week 5 just had 1 catch, albeit for 66 yards and a TD. His overall stats are impressive,  34 catches for 524 yards and 4 TDs, but I think the K-State alum will have weeks where Cobb or Lacy at RB are more productive.

TE - Jimmy Graham New Orleans Saints 75.80 Points

It's been a good season for Tight Ends so far, with 6 of them over 60 points through 5 games, but Jimmy Graham is still the leader of the pack. In fairness, Julius Thomas of Denver will probably overtake him this week as Graham has a game more played and is on a week 6 bye, but Graham's numbers put him at the head of the queue for now. Brees loves throwing to Graham anywhere on the field, and his 34 catches (the same number as Nelson and Brown our top 2 WRs) attests to that. He has found the endzone 3 times and has 376 yards receiving, which is better than 10 yards per catch. That's a big stat for a TE. Thomas is a TD machine in Denver, but Graham is more of a consistent target and that's how he is keeping his nose ahead. He may be overtaken by a couple of TEs before the season is over, but few would bet against the 4th year Miami player from being ahead when all is said and done.

WR/TE/RB - Julio Jones Atlanta Falcons WR 92.60 Points

7 out of the top 10 players in our Flex position are Wide Receivers and the third of them, Julio Jones, fills our Flex spot ahead of Maclin, Cobb, Bryant and Smith. The Alabama man has well and truly taken the #1 mantle in Atlanta from Roddy White at this stage, and is Matt Ryan's favourite target by a mile. Jones has 57 targets, 40 receptions, 552 yards and 3 TDs. Actually, his TD count is a slight worry, as if you take the week 3 shellacking of the Buccs out of the equation, he would only have 1 TD on the other 4 games. The Falcons are 2-3 in a poor division, and will need Jones to get a few more scores to push the win total north.

K - Stephen Gostkowski New England Patriots 57 Points

Several kickers are averaging more than 10 points a game, which is a good mark for the boot, but Gostkowski is leading the field with an impressive 57 points thus far, an average of 11.4 for his 5 games. The 2006 4th round pick from Memphis hasn't missed a kick all year so far, and has made 13 in a row, including 6 of over 40 yards. His owners will hope it isn't unlucky 13, but so far Gostkowski has been money for the Pats.

DEF - Philadelphia Eagles 96 Points

Team Defense/Special Teams can quite often be a very heavy scorer on a week by week basis, but it can vary hugely depending on matchups, so it's hard to find and settle on one team, which is why a lot of movement happens on that position. Amidst all this turmoil, the Eagles stand out as the best so far, with a 14 point lead over the Buffalo Bills. A lot of the reason for this lead is their propensity to score on the defense and special teams, and this week they became the first team in history to score on a kick return and turnover return two weeks in a row. A lot has been made of the Chip Kelly offense, but it's the D's scoring that are the main reason the Eagles are 4-1 this far into the season. So far the Eagles have allowed 132 Points, which is a relatively high total for 5 games,  over 25 PPG, but they have 11 sacks, 3 interceptions, 5 Fumble Recoveries, 5 Touchdowns, 3 blocked kicks and 2 return TDs. An unreal performance in hoovering up points so far.

DB1 - Jonathan Joseph Houston Texans CB 51 Points

The IDP (Individual Defensive Players) can quite often be the winning and losing of games in our leagues as there are almost always hidden gems that sparkle each week. If you can hit on one of them you can often times win your game on the strength of that alone. Our outstanding DB is league standout Jonathan Joseph, the South Carolina Gamecock in his 4th season in Houston. Joseph plays at corner for the Texans, and can see a lot of action there.. Thus far he has amassed 32 tackles, 2 forced fumbles, 2 fumble recoveries and  only 3 passes successfully defended, which implies he is a better tackler than a cover man. Still 51 points is not to be sneered at, and places him at the top of our DB charts.

DB2 - Harrison Smith Minnesota Vikings S 50 Points

Coming into the season, Smith was earmarked as one of the top prospects in IDP, and it has turned out that way so far. Unfortunately for his owners he got a nasty injury in the last game and is currently in a walking boot, and probably out for at least one week, but up until then his performances have been very good. He was drafted in 2012 out of Notre Dame, and has been a very good addition to the Vikings defensive backfield. He can lay the lumber on a runner, but really comes into his own trying to suck in errant passes. This year Smith has 22 tackles, 1 sack and 3 Interceptions, including 1 Pick 6. He has also defended 6 passes successfully.

DL - JJ Watt Houston Texans DE 47.05 Points

In news that will surprise absolutely nobody, JJ Watt, the big Defensive End for the Texans, is the outstanding defensive lineman of the year so far in our league. He has actually caught a TD pass this year, but as a defender he is terrorising QBs and running backs up and down the league. His sack stats are not immense, but his disruptive influence cannot be measured, and he is contributing to his fantasy teams in a very meaningful and measurable way as well. He has 13 tackles, 2 sacks, 1 fumble recovery, 1 touchdown, 3 passes defended and 1 blocked kick. Just another eventful year for perhaps the best real life player in the league.

LB - Lavonte David Tampa Bay Buccaneers 55 Points

The Buccs are 1-4, but have been competitive in most of them apart from the Thursday night nightmare against Atlanta. A big part of their competitiveness has been the play of David in the Linebacker slot. David is a 2012 2nd round big from Nebraska, and the husker has been a dominant force on the Buccs linebacking corps. He has a huge 41 tackles, including 2 forced fumbles. He's recovered a fumble himself also, and has added 2 passes defended for good measure. Nothing flashy here, but such a high tackle count is point harvesting go leor in our Fantasy Leagues.

Looked like it was all over until my home club had the pick 6 inside the last min to win by 0.5pt. Hope now that there are not any adjustments over the next day or two.
At least it was a fell BIFFO that broke the win streak :)

I'll try get the recaps done at lunchtime, but well done to Savage Bears :) Took me down in the Superbowl by 0.85 of a point or something after the 49ers D got 22 points ! At least my unbeaten record went to a fellow Biffo. I hope that makes up for the U21 final all those years ago :)

Post by: AZOffaly on October 15, 2014, 12:00:25 PM
OK, we're well into it now at this stage. Recaps for Week 6...

Joe Montana GAABoard Superbowl

Faithful Turfmen 'B' 148.15 - 148.80 Savage Bears

A great tussle between the two Offaly sides has seen the Bears bring the Turfmen's unbeaten run to a screeching halt with a high quality win following a big performance from the 49ers D on Monday night. However, the real story of this game is the fact that the Bears skills positions outplayed the Turfmen, as the Turfmen had 33 points from the Eagles D themselves, and would have been beaten out of sight but for that. The Bears' top performer was actually Green Bay receiver Jordy Nelson, who amassed 22.35 points on 9 receptions for 107 yards and a TD. Andrew Luck (QB-IND), Julian Edelman (WR-NE), Andre Ellington (RB-ARI), Greg Olsen (TE-CAR), Cody Parkey (K-PHI) and the aforementioned 49ers D all contributed heavily in a strong week for the Bears, who move to 4-2. The Turfmen will want to bounce back quickly from this, and need more from the skills positions, as the Philadelphia Eagles D/ST top scored for the game with 33 points on 8 sacks, 1 Fumble Recovery and keeping a clean sheet. Along with the Eagles, Darren Sproles (RB-PHI), Arien Foster (RB-HOU), Steve Smith (WR-BAL), Antoine Cason (DB-CAR) and Chandler Jones (DL-NE) all did their bit but they just came up short as the Turfmen fall to 5-1.

Smackdown Clowns 182.49 - 111.75 Colm O'Mealoid

A fantastic performance by the Smackdown Clowns sees them even their record up at 3-3 following a huge win over Colm O'Mealoid who falls to 2-4. The Clowns were spearheaded by a great performance on Thursday night by TY Hilton, the WR of the Indianapolis Colts, who had 35.15 points on 9 receptions for 233 yards and a TD score. He was ably supported by ex Colt Peyton Manning (QB-DEN), Randall Cobb (WR-GB), Ahmad Bradshaw (RB-IND), Brandon Olliver (RB-SD), Steven Gostkowski (K-NE), The Cardinals D/ST, Willie Young (DL-CHI) and Von Miller (LB-DEN).  for those of you counting, that's 9 positions returning double digits at least. o'Mealoid didn't have a horrible week, but was never likely to be able to stick with that sort of pace. They had good outings from stud running back DiMarco Murray (RB-DAL), who had 21.30 points on 115 yards and a TD, Andre Johnson (WR-HOU), Mason Crosby (K-GB), the Titans D/ST and Johnathan Cyprien (DB-JAX).

Ruthless Rossies 125.33 - 122.21 New York Jets VIII

A rookie error by New York Jets VII has cost them a probably victory here in this tight struggle, as the Rossies walk away with a 3 point win. It might have been a different story if the Jets hadn't fielded an incomplete roster, leaving one of their DB slots empty. Given that the direct counterpart on the Rossies roster scored 5 points, it's not hard to imagine a scenario where putting a warm body into that position may have impacted the outcome significantly. As it was, the Rossies were delighted to take advantage, thanks to a great performance from star man (and possible non-human) Houston DL JJ Watt, who amassed 25 IDP points with 2 sacks, 1 TD, 1 Fumble Recovery as well as 3 batted passes passes defended. In addition Aaron Rodgers (QB-GB), LeSean McCoy (RB-PHI), Rob Gronkowski (TE-NE) and  Kelvin Benjamin (WR-CAR) contributed heavily towards the win. For the disappointed Jets, they had the game's top scoring position in the Lions D with 32 points on 8 sacks, 3 INTS and 1-6 points allowed. Nick Foles (QB-PHI), Alshon Jeffrey (WR-CHI), Brandon Marshall (WR-CHI), Mike Wallace (WR-MIA), and Justin Tucker (K-BAL) all tried their best, but the error by omission has proven critical. With this win the Rossies climb to 2-4, while the loss sees the Jets fall to the same mark.

Ballyhaise Bills 143.66 - 120.52 Oraisteach's Browns

The Bills earned their second win of the season with a good, solid performance to see off the now 3-3 Oraisteach's Browns by a 23 point margin. The skill positions came through for the Bills, with top scorer being Chicago running back Matt Forte, who is hitting form at a good time for the Bills. Forte had 29.85 points on 2 Rushing TDs, 80 rushing yards, 10 receptions and 77 receiving yards in a typical Forte game. He was supported by Philip Rivers (QB-SD), ERic Decker (WR-NYJ), Antonio Gates (TE-SD), James Jones (WR-OAK), the Seattle D/ST and Ryan Kerrigan (LB-WAS). The Browns looked to the Denver D/ST to try and backbone their effort, and 22 points on 1 TD, 4 Sacks, 1 INT and 1 Fumble Recovered was a good outing by any measure. They had good backup in Gio Bernard (RB-CIN), Fred Jackson (RB-BUF), Julius Thomas (TE-DEN) and Dan Bailey (K-DAL) but it wasn't enough to overcome a nice outing from the Bills.

Coolera Bears 134.25 - 101.12 hegan's clowns

Ominously the defending champions have moved into a tie for the leagues best record (although they remain at #3 seed overall) with a 5-1 mark, thanks to this win over the now 2-4 hegan's clowns. It's worth noting that with the clowns performance in this defeat, every team in the league scored at least 100 points, which is no mean feat. In fact the league averaged 133.83 points for the week. Good stuff lads. Back to this game, and the Bears had 7 positions return double digits, led by star Denver WR Demaryius Thomas and his 24.20 points from 10 receptions for 124 yards and a TD. Jay Cutler (QB-CHI), Antonio Brown (WR-PIT), Josh Reed (TE-WAS), Ben Tate (RB-CLE), Steven Haushka (k-SEA) and LeVonte David (LB-TB) all chipped into the winning effort as well. For the Clowns, only 3 positions managed to break the 10 point barrier, chief amongst whom was Redskins WR DeSean Jackson, who had 18 points on 115 yards and 1 TD against Arizona. Lamar Miller (RB-MIA) and Kyle Fuller (DB-CHI) also did their bit, but it was to no avail as the rest of the roster couldn't rise above mediocrity.

Title: Re: NFL Fantasy Football - GAABoard Superbowl X - La Decima
Post by: magpie seanie on November 06, 2014, 02:12:51 PM
My gut feeling is that Megatron will be 100% for this week and should post a big line. I'd start him with confidence and I would definitely roll with Sanders because of the matchup. Denver will destroy Oakland. Not much between Sanu and Wallace - would maybe lean towards Sanu, AJ Green being back might actually help him against Cleveland.

I have been known to be wrong on these things though!

In Megatron's absence Golden Tate has been getting a lot of targets, he is my second highest scorer. He will probably take a hit now.

Golden Tate will take a very small hit, if any. If anything , he will now see less coverage, as Johnson will be doubled up on a lot. A must own in any type of format.
P.s I needed that Eli pass to the rookie Washington , to go to  TE Larry Donnell for just over $15K on Fanduel.com
Been playing this site for 3 years now, great craic, and if you have a bit of insight, nice little earner through the winter ;)

Played a few weeks on another one last year, Draftstreet I think it is. didn't make any money but was close a few times. Barely keeping my head above water with my regular leagues this year so haven't given it a try. Must give FanDuel a go.

Well a pretty inauspicious start to the week 10 slate. Cincy's offense stunk. Andy Dalton's primetime woes continue. I have AJ Green in one league where I badly need a win so am in trouble from the off. Also facing him in two other places so swings and roundabouts.... Funnily enough the Cleveland RBBC all paid dividends to owners with each of the 3 RB's getting a TD. Something ridiculous like 48 running plays! Great buzz for Cleveland. Brian Hoyer didn't really read the Johnny Football script!

One week left in what has been another excellent season. Fair play, everyone seems to have kept going, by and large. The playoff picture is still not finalised, but it is starting to take shape.

In the Joe Montana Superbowl, there are two teams currently assured of playoff slots, including our reigning champion Coolera Bears. They and the Ruthless Rossies (who is on an 8 game winning streak) are tied at 9-4 in the Lombardi Division. The last week sees the Rossies take on Hegan's helmets, and the Bears taking on the other Bears, of the Savage variety. The Rossies currently hold the #1 seed by a good margin in points difference (41) so it looks like the Coolera Bears will need to hope that the Rossies lose, because it's hard to see Coolera making up that sort of points deficit in one game.

The battle for #2 and #4 seeds is still very much alive.New York Jets VIII are currently occupying #2 with a 7-6 record, while the Savage Bears in the Lombardi division are on #4 with the same record. There are 4 teams on 6-7 records, but should the improbably happen, and we end up with a logjam of 7-7 then it might take a forensic scientist to work out who is the #2 and #4 seeds. If the Jets lose to Oraisteach's Browns, then their points total is not great, so you'd imagine Smackdown Clowns, who play Ballyhaise Bills, would pip them to the #2 slot. The Savage Bears are in poll position based on Points tallys for the #4 slot in that scenario, but should The Jets and Clowns both win, and the Bears lose to the Coolera Bears, then you could see the #4 slot going to the clowns. As mentioned, all to play for.


In the Walter Payton B Championship, it is unbelievable tight. We have two guaranteed playoff teams, with the Galway Bay Tribesmen and the Crossmaglen Hitmen on impressive 11-2 and 10-3 marks respectively. They have a direct head to head battle in week 14, with the winner clinching the #1 seed, as the Hitmen have a better points total. The loser will be the #3 seed. So again we look at the #2 and #4 seeds. The George Allen division is the most even I think we have ever had in this competition. There are no less than 4 of the 5 teams locked at a 7-6 record, going into the last day. Currently the division leader, and #2 seed, the Red Hand Helmets have a very healthy points total, and a win will see them clinch the division and the #2 seed. However, the just happen to be playing the Big Apple Orchards, who are in 2nd place in the division. A win for the Orchards would not only probably give them the #2 seed , but would also likely see the Helmets miss out altogether! Hovering in the wings, hoping to pick up the scraps are the M4S Someday, and L'Esprit de Biff. The loser of the Orchards - Helmet matchup will drop like a stone if L'Esprit de Biff beat Rehab is 4 quitters, or M4Sam someday beat the Faithful Turfmen.

And we're not finished there. If the Helmets beat the Orchards, and L'Esprit de Biff lose to the Quitters, then the Faithful Turfmen themselves (on 6-7) would possibly snatch a dramatic #4 seed with a win over the Mayo4Sam Someday if they have a big week. It's a long shot but it's still a viable scenario (he told himself hopefully).


Finally in our 12 team Jerry Rice C Championship, it's not nearly as dramatic as we have all 4 playoff teams identified. It only remains to finalise the seedings, but the Antrim 89, Oakleaf Dolphins, Sean's Team and Fermanagh and Sam have locked up postseason play with very good seasons. The first 3 mentioned are all on 10-3 with FermanaghandSam on 9-4. Interestingly, this division shows up an odd variation in Yahoo's tiebreaker scenario. For the purposes of identifying a division winner, two teams tied will first be separated by their record in the Division, and then onto the points scored. Hence in this scenario, Oakleaf Dolphins lead Sean's Team thanks to a better record in Division. For Wildcard tiebreakers, they jump straight into Points Scored.

First tiebreaker is divisional record if the tie is for a division title. If it's a wildcard tie, it's on point scored. I need to confirm that, but that's my understanding of it.

Well, that's all she wrote for another regular season. A great season in fairness, loads of tight games and tight standings, but as the dust settles we have our playoff matchups.

Starting the in the Jerry Rice 'C' Championship and our number 1 seed, on a record of 11-3, is Antrim89. They comfortably won the Andy Reid division on that mark and pipped the #2 Oakleaf Dolphins on points scored. The Dolphins won the Bill Belichik division, which was very hotly contested, by 1 game from both the Sean's Team and FermanaghandSam who ended on a 10-4 mark. Sean's team takes #3 from FermanaghandSam due to a better points scored tally.

The semi final matchups are
#1 Antrim89 vs #4 FermanaghandSam
#2 Oakleaf Dolphins vs #3 Sean's Team


Onto the Walter Payton 'B' Championship where the Galway Bay Tribesmen won the John Madden Division, and the #1 overall seed with an impressive 12-2 record. The #2 seed was a huge contest and finally was won by the 8-6 Red Hand Helmets, by virtue of them winning the George Allen Division. They clinched the Division on a superior Division Record to the other 8-6 teams, at 5-3 versus 4-4. The number 3 seed comes from the Madden Division, the 10-4 Crossmaglen Hitmen, while the #4 division came down to points scored between L'Esprit de Biff and M4S Someday with the Mayo lads coming out on top by 56 points after 14 weeks of competition. The fact they scored 176 points in a final day win sealed it for them.

And so, the semi finals are
#1 Galway Bay Tribesmen v #4 M4S Someday
#2 Red Hand Helmets v #3 Crossmaglen Hitmen


Finally, the blue riband itself, the Joe Montana GAABoard Superbowl. This was another very even championship with 6 of the 10 teams ending at .500 or better, and the lowest win total being a very respectable 5. The class of the regular season seems to have come from the Vince Lombardi Division, which supplies us with no fewer than 3 semi finalists. The #1 seed overall is the 10-4 Ruthless Rossies, who are on an incredible 9 game winning streak. They haven't lost since the Smackdown Clowns beat them way back in Week 5. Very worthy division winners and a number one seed when you start 1-4 and end up 10-4. Great stuff by the Rossies. However, the other playoff contenders will not be afraid of meeting the Rossies, and it will not be a cakewalk to the coveted GAA Board Superbowl Championship.  First in their way will be the 8-6 Savage Bears, who clinched the #4 seed with a 3rd place finish in the Lomardi Division, having pipped the Coolera Bears in one of the best games I've seen in Fantasy. 185.63 versus 185.32. Outstanding stuff lads. That score would have been enough to cause the upset in week 14, so we'll have to see what happens in the semi final.

The other semi will feature the #2 seed, and George Halas Division's sole rep, the 7-7 Smackdown Clowns. They secured the division title on a 6-2 divisional record, bettering the New York Jets VIII 5-3 mark, but also had a higher points total. They are, as mentioned, the last team to take down the Rossies, and their 172 points in week 14 would make them a formidable foe. Facing them, however, is our reigning champion, the #3 Coolera Bears on a 9-5 mark. The Bears ended up on just the short side of the joust with the Savage Bears, but they'll be confident that their form is good going into the playoffs.

The semi final list, for the record, is
#1 Ruthless Rossies versus #4 Savage Bears
#2 Smackdown Clowns versus #3 Coolera Bears

Congratulations to all those making the playoffs, and best of luck to ye. To everyone who didn't quite make it this year, thanks a million for playing and I think this has been the best contested season we've had, so fair play to all of you in all 3 championships.

Bring on the Semi Finals!

Yes fair play AZ, this was my most enjoyable year of it as I had a bit more time for it.

There are some great pickups to be had on the waiver wire or even as free agents. I picked up Chris Borland, LB with the 49ers when Patrick Willis went down, and he turned out to be a monster. Jeremy Hill was another grat pickup for me, I actually drafted him, released him then picked him up as a free agent.

Unfortunately Aaron Rodgers picked an i opportune time to have his worst game of the season against Buffalo  :-[

Yes, AZ, another excellent year as commissioner.  Well, like my county, dropping down a division,  so I'll be encountering another incarnation of the Faithful Turfmen next year. It was a year that started with such promise.  The computer predicted I'd go 13-1.  Ha Ha Ha!  Drafting Adrian Peterson was the beginning of the end, but to finish dead last--the ignominy.  Been in fourteen leagues over the years--first time failing to make the playoffs.  But I had fun nonetheless, much more than in my 16-team league where there were only scraps on the waiver wire.  Congrats, too, to those Coolera Bears on their return to the Super Bowl and of course to those Ruthless Rossies who, after a so-so start, staged a remarkable run.  Happy Christmas to all you fantasians!

Tipp, it's run by AZOffaly, and he's on vacation, I believe.  It's divided into three divisions, with the top four teams getting promoted, I think, and the bottom four getting relegated.  The top two divisions usually have ten teams each, while the number in the third division often fluctuates.  So, just over 30 players, I'd say.

that sounds different, how many in each division? I'm in one on a celtic forum, just 16 of us, 4 divisions but all in the one draft, top of each division goes through and then the next highest 4 overall scores. It's good but the draft is fair hard, gets thin real quick. Presume ye do the one on the actual nfl site?

The drafts are brilliant. Ive only ever used the nfl site, couldnt fault it, you can pretty much custimise anything you want and its good on game day as it upates as the games are on going. Is the yahoo one head to head matches too?

Post by: AZOffaly on August 11, 2015, 10:35:05 AM
OK, I'm thinking this might be the last year we do 'promotion or relegation' because it's f**king awkward :)

Can everyone please send me on your email addresses. If you finished in the Top 6 of the Montana Conference regular season standings, or the top 4 of the Payton Conference, then you are in the Montana Conference for 2015. (Unless I am in the top 4 of Payton, as I cannot be promoted or relegated).

If you finished in teh bottom 4 of the Montana Conference or in 5th or 6th in Payton, or in the top 4 of the Rice Conference, then you are in the Payton Conference for 2015 (again, unless I am one of the affected teams).

If you finished outside the top 4 of the Rice Conference, or are a newcomer, this is where you will play in 2015.

As I mentioned above, my team cannot be relegated or promoted as I need to be in the league to run it. Therefore if I am in a relegation spot or a promotion spot, only 3 people will be relegated and promoted, which may affect you. Apologies for that.

We need to draft, before the season kicks off on September 10th. We need about 2 hours to do a 10 team draft, and we do them evening time Irish time. Can you please send on suggestions if you have a particular preference.

Have you seen the Geno Smith episode?

http://www.nytimes.com/2015/08/12/sports/football/ikemefuna-enemkpali-the-backup-who-broke-geno-smiths-jaw.html

QuoteWith one punch, Ikemefuna Enemkpali transformed himself from a little known third-string linebacker into a figure of infamy for the Jets.



Geno Smith was scheduled to have surgery after his jaw was broken.

Enemkpali, 24, broke quarterback Geno Smith's jaw on Tuesday morning with what Coach Todd Bowles called a "sucker punch." He was immediately released.

Enemkpali, known as I.K., grew up in Texas and was a team captain at Louisiana Tech. A defensive lineman and sack specialist who earned all-Conference USA status in his final season, he was drafted in the sixth round in 2014 by the Jets. At 6 feet 1 inch, 272 pounds, he was considered a bit undersized for an N.F.L. defensive line and was converted to an outside linebacker.

He got into six games as a rookie last year and made three tackles in limited minutes. He drew more attention from the news media for the difficulty some people had in pronouncing his name (it's in-em-PAUL-ee) than for his performance on the field.

His draft profile on NFL.com, in a weird bit of foreshadowing, said: "Strengths: Very thickly built. Flashes shock and violence in his punch. Highly competitive, plays hard and motor runs hot. Keeps battling to the quarterback."

While at Louisiana Tech, he was arrested in April 2011 for disturbing the peace and battery of a police officer and was suspended from the team, though he returned in time for the start of the season. He was eventually sentenced to probation and community service.

"A young, hotheaded decision," Enemkpali told ESPN. "I didn't know he was undercover, which is no excuse, but ... yeah, I lost my cool."

After earning $420,000 last season, he was to have made $510,000 with the Jets this year.

His sister Nneka played basketball at the University of Texas and was drafted this spring in the third round of the W.N.B.A. draft by the Seattle Storm, although she is sitting out the season with a torn ACL.

The locker room incident led to an immediate outpouring of despair, schadenfreude and humor on social media.

You know Geno isn't that good and Ryan Fitzpatrick has been serviceable in the past. He has Brandon Marshall and Eric Decker to throw to. Crazy incident to happen in training camp though.

OK Lads,

Trying to squeeze this in between stuff I get paid to do :)

Current situation for Montana Conference....

Joe Montana GAABoard Superbowl

1 - Ruthless Rossies (10-4 Division Champ)  - IN
2 - Smackdown Clowns (7-7 Division Champ) - IN
3 - Coolera Bears (9-5) - IN

4 - Savage Bears (8-6) - Not Yet Renewed
5 - New York Jets VIII (7-7) - IN
6 - Faithful Turfmen B (7-7) - IN

7 - Galway Bay Tribesmen (12-2 Division Champ in Payton) - No Email Address To Invite
8 - Red Hand Helmets (8-6 Division Champ in Payton) - IN

9 - Crossmaglen Hitmen (10-4 in Payton) - Invite Sent Today
10 - M4S Someday (8-6 in Payton) - Invite Sent Today

So not in terrible shape, but we need to close it out ASAP. Savage Bears (owned by Muck Savage on this board) needs to renew, and I need an email address for Galway Bay Tribesmen.

Crossmaglen Hitmen and M4S Someday have been invited today, and as they contacted me, I expect them to register quickly.

6 - Big Apple Orchards ( 7-7 in Payton) - Not renewed Yet

8 - Antrim89 (11-3 Division Winner in Rice) - IN

9 - Oakleaf Dolphins (11-3 Division winner in Rice) - Invite Sent Today
10 - Sean's Team (10-4 in Rice) - Invite Sent Today

So that leaves us with 3 in, 5 invites sent, and 1 yet to renew....

As Ballyhaise Bills are taking a break this year, I am going to spare the 'best' relegated team to the C Championship, which was Rehab is 4 Quitters, so another invite has been sent there.. It's just like Tiernan McCann!!

OK Lads, the Montana Conference is all set!! Now we need to pick a draft date. Seanie, I know you have requested us not to have it on the 29th/30th (this weekend) so I'm happy to agree to that. I have another draft on Sunday the 6th, so that's out too. Any other day should be okay for me, so we'll go democratic on this...

I still have the renewal email from last year if you need another for the Jerry Rice and wouldn't mind entering a second team if it's needed, with the understanding I couldn't be promoted.

I have a wedding this weekend and I'll be up in Dublin for the hurling the following weekend. I'll be around this Sunday though and pretty much all next week until the Friday.

Post by: AZOffaly on August 31, 2015, 11:34:36 AM
It kind of fell that way for me. My 9th Pick meant I had to take Receiver first, and then Beckham was still there at 12. By the time it came around again, there was a lull in RBs so I went WR again and got Gore on the turn. I'm happy with my receivers, not so much with RB. Manning could be great in the 6th round, or he could be done. TE is a wasteland for me. I couldn't justify reaching early on so I ended up with a lad that might not even play in Week 1 :)

few injured players folks took risks on - I'm happy enough with my draft - going first is hard - you get a great pick then nothing for another 18 picks...

AZ if you need another player in the Rice to make up the numbers, I'd do it, but I don't have an invitation.  Wouldn't mind another shot since I had my son draft for me while I had a three-day stay at a local spa (ie hospital).  BTW doing fine and my son did a good job.  Just let me know.  As long as it's not Labor Day when I have a ridiculous 16-team draft right when Ohio State is playing Virginia Tech.  And all of the drafters are Clevelanders!  If I'm not needed, no bother.

Given the efforts AZ goes to to organise this every year, especially with growing interest, it's taking the piss to ask to get involved and not register by now. If you want to play, play. If not, cop the f**k on so the rest of us can get on with it.

Well done on the Montana draft last night. I had to head off and was trying to get back on via the phone (battery eventually died) so apologies if I held things up once or twice. Never been as underprepared (bar my first year) so not even too sure if I'm happy with my lot or not. One or two kickass outfits picked though from a quick glance.

Right lads. We have 10 for the Rice Conference!!! Draft Wednesday night at 9.30pm Irish Time. 10 team league.

I just did a 'keeper' draft last night, good auld craic but fair complicated when you're trying to concentrate on a list of keepers and verifying no one has taken someone elses keeper. We had to do it all manually.

Good idea or bad idea to pick the suspended Steelers RB in the first round?
I'm involved in my first draft later on and haven't much of a clue! But I'm told go RBs early and often!

In the first round - easiest yes you will get. He'll be in the equation for first overall pick too.
He went a long way to me winning the division last year and he went first overall in the Payton draft this year.
If you have any spare time do a mock ten team draft on Yahoo before the gaaboard one, I did that and i think it helped.

Yeah take him, he is #1 pick in a lot of drafts & I would pick up De Angelo Williams in later rounds as he will be filling in for him in the games he is banned.

Title: Re: NFL Fantasy Football - GAABoard Superbowl XI
Post by: RealSpiritof98 on September 08, 2015, 11:55:58 PM
i think its because the majority of them score very well anyway, whereas there's a vast scoring difference between the top quality RBs and average ones. My 1st ever draft pick was Payton Manning, thought i was god!!!!
Title: Re: NFL Fantasy Football - GAABoard Superbowl XI
Post by: Oraisteach on September 09, 2015, 12:21:18 AM
Really, I've no problem with drafting a stud QB in the first round, but the pool of valuable RBs dwindles very fast, and if you don't get an elite QB you can still get a serviceable QB pretty late in the draft.  Last night, I participated in a 16-team draft, and 3 QBs went in Round 1.  I was still able to get Tannahill much later, an adequate QB if not a superstar.

That's it in a nutshell. You're always trying to balance supply v demand. If you have a savage QB, like Manning last year or Rodgers, it's not a stretch that they would go in the first round, however once you get below that, on a per week basis, there wouldn't be a huge difference between the 3rd and 10th guy say.  Given that you only have to fill 1 QB slot on your roster every week, the 6th best QB could be someone like Romo or Roethlisberger and that would be perfectly serviceable.

When you are trying to draft a top RB or WR (esp in a PPR league) if you pass on them to get a QB in round 1, the chances are that you'll end up with no 'big' WR or no big 'RB'. The difference in points between the 3rd or 4th best RB and the 20th best RB might be very substantial.

The same thing with Tight Ends. Gronk or recent year Graham would have been first round picks and no one would bat an eyelid. But if you miss on those two because you are getting WR/RB then there's no rush to pick another TE because of the same reason. The difference between 3rd and 10th or 12th might be quite small on average (obviously there'll be outstanding weeks etc) so you can hold fire until you're comfortable.

Another thing is the way the draft itself is going. If there's a run on QBs for some reason in a particular round, like the 3rd or 4th, and you really want a particular guy, you might have to do there. On the TE front, Travis Kelce for KC is causing some lads to reach a bit this year too because Gronk gets picked and rather than wait, Kelce is going soon after.

Back to 10 now. After weeks of waiting for TroyPolamayo to join, they joined twice :) I removed the second one, as I think it was because I sent a renewal invite, and another invite. He accepted both, eventually.

It's locked at 10 now lads, draft at 9.30 tonight. Sorry, Spirit, I can't do earlier myself tonight.

In my other league on ESPN, I was last pick in 12 team draft. Ended up with Rivers, Kelce, Julio Jones, Andre Johnson, Jeremy Hill and Carlos Hyde. Running back situation isn't great but I don't think that's a bad offense from the last draft position!

Ha, no, that's not done in order of rounds. Most people went for RBs in the first, one went for Rodgers and when it came round, I didn't feel any of the RBs left for me were worth overlooking him. Think he was third receiver taken after Bryant and Beckham.

I'm in an ESPN one too. Got feckin 10th pick in a league of 10. Although that means I got 11th pick as well.
For those 10th and 11th picks I was left (as I saw it anyway) with a choice of 2 from the Broncos RB and WR and Dez Bryant and LeSean McCoy. Didnt want both Broncos so went for Bryant and the Broncos RB.

I instantly regretted it when I remembered Peyton Manning would hardly allow much of a running game, but nice to have a mad hoor like Dez to cheer!

Only 30 seconds per pick, so I was in utter panic most of the time, but it was great fun. Would definitely have made different picks at some stages if I'd had a minute or two to think!

No feckin clue what PPR means, or whether it should have affected my choices!

Sorry for drifting from the subject and if there is a more appropriate thread point me to it.

Has anyone experience of going to the Wembley games? I'm thinking of going over to the Jets/Dolphins game at the start of October and am wondering what my best option for tickets is? There are plenty on Stubhub and the like, not cheap, ÂŁ150 or more for high up along the side and ÂŁ120 for similar behind endzone. Mind you I'm not sure what face is!! My question is would I be better paying this now or would I pick up something significantly cheaper on the day???
Title: Re: NFL Fantasy Football - GAABoard Superbowl XI
Post by: oakleaflad on September 09, 2015, 05:11:20 PM
I could be completely wrong here but i think PPR is points per reception. In a PPR league a player who plays a lot and gets a lot of touches but maybe doesn't make the most yards or score the most touchdowns would score higher than in a normal fantasy league. I think.
Title: Re: NFL Fantasy Football - GAABoard Superbowl XI
Post by: gallsman on September 09, 2015, 05:22:35 PM
If so, then I guess yes, points for yards and TDs in passing, rushing and receiving and reception points as well.
Title: Re: NFL Fantasy Football - GAABoard Superbowl XI
Post by: Oraisteach on September 09, 2015, 07:02:00 PM
Yeah, PPR stands for points per reception, and depending on your league settings that can be very valuable.  I used to play in a PPR  league and had Darren Sproles who, though he didn't rack up a lot of TDs, was the recipient of tons of dump off passes and scored me a point a catch.  Some leagues award 0.5 pts per catch, but PPR can make an average fantasy WR or RB into a great one.  For example, though CJ Spiller (assuming he gets healthy) will play behind Ingram, is likely to be valuable in a PPR. league since Bree's is likely to throw him little short passes in the flat.

This. Its a significant difference for WRs and especially little scat backs like Ellington or Sproles. The top guys tend to be near the top in either format but in PPR an average guy can be a really productive player if earning a point per reception. Bear in mind if looking at rankings etc.

Go to the Fantasy section of Yahoo, and select the game 'Pro Pick 'em'. Then join the league 47539, password gaaboard.

Good performance by the Pats. On a side note, it's something I've noticed before, but how shit is the Steelers clock management. under Timlin I've noticed this several times, but last night was another few. Not taking time outs at the right time, letting ages burn off the clock at inappropriate times, failing to get a play off before the 2 minute warning etc etc. Roethlisberger needs to start copping on to this sort of stuff, and Timlin needs to get with it too.

AZ, Got a commissioner question for you.  My son participates in fantasy on ESPN, and though I don't play in his league, he was able to send me a link to that league so that I could follow the goings-on.  Is it possible to post such links to our Montana and Rice divisions.  If it's possible, I'd like to follow along to see how teams in other divisions are doing.  Besides, I think it would cut down on the hassle of you having to post scores, standings and matchups.

AZ,
Steelers always have had that problem, their D was completely underprepared last night. First Gronk TD he was uncovered and Brady spotted it, they had 10 men on the field for at least one play that the commentary team spotted and I think 2 others as well when I paused it to check. They had the wrong players on a couple of times based on the pats lineup. To me that was the difference between the teams- but NE did seem to have another gear when needed.

Yeah, the D did look woeful in the secondary. But the timekeeping is such basic thing, and it's caught them before, as you've said. That has to be on Tomlin and Roethlisberger.

Sadly my GAABoard debut appears to have been ruined by O'Neill at the last via a measly point and a half. C'mon stat corrections!

As far as I know, you just need to drop him and others can then pick him up on the waiver wire.

Otherwise you just keep him on roster and get an extra defensive player in instead of another roster player which you drop.

You have a max roster size, to add another defensive player, someone has to be dropped to waiver wire.

Title: Re: NFL Fantasy Football - GAABoard Superbowl XI
Post by: gallsman on September 17, 2015, 05:23:57 PM
Going to try and crowdsource some advice for my ESPN league from the experts here. My roster currently has three QBs and two TEs:

Philip Rivers (SD) @ Cin
Marcus Mariota (Ten) @ Cle
Andy Dalton (Cin) SD
Travis Kelce (KC) Den
Tyler Eifert (Cin) SD

I have to play a starting QB and TE and can select an additional offensive player. All had either brilliant or solid opening weeks. At the minute am going with Mariota, Kelce and Eifert. Last week I started Rivers, Mariota and Kelce but think I have to try and fit Eifert in this week. Would normally rule Dalton out but back home against the chargers with Eifert and Green to throw to, I think this week could be good. Rivers I'd always be tempted by but I'm not sure about him against the Cincatti pass defense. Certainly don't think he'll rack up 400 yards again. Mariota I'm perhaps being seduced by last week's showing but back home against Cleveland, with hints of some winds of change in Nashville has me persuaded at the minute.

Any thoughts or recommendations?
Title: Re: NFL Fantasy Football - GAABoard Superbowl XI
Post by: magpie seanie on September 17, 2015, 05:38:59 PM
I would start Rivers. Don't trust Andy Dalton at all though he should have a nice game here. Mariota looked great last weekend but I want to see him do it against a better team than the Bucs. Baby Gronk (Kelce) is a must start even against a good Broncos defense. I also understand you trying to work Eifert into the lineup. It would depend on who else you have for your flex but he's definitely flex worthy I reckon. I have a similar dilemma in another league.
Title: Re: NFL Fantasy Football - GAABoard Superbowl XI

Yup, roster is QB, 2xWR, 2xRB, 1x WR/RB, 1xOffensive Utility Player, K, Team DEF/ST

Kelce not great for me last night has put the fear into me over Eifert. Am going to go with Dalton ahead of Mariota. If Eifert makes plays, it'll be Dalton throwing to him so figure that's the right decision. Mariota away when I had him in my head as at home.
Title: Re: NFL Fantasy Football - GAABoard Superbowl XI
Post by: AZOffaly on September 18, 2015, 11:39:29 AM
It's your team :)

I don't trust Dalton, but he could have a great game. As you say, if you are going to feel bad about not playing Eifert, then at least Dalton will cover you because he'll be throwing to him.

Mariota is interesting to me because he can run as well, and he's obviously buzzing. If Kelce had played well last night, I'd have picked Mariota because he probably has a higher ceiling, but as a rookie he is a greater risk.

Thing is Dalton is a risk because he is Dalton :)

They have to do something about Chancellor. He's not going to budget and they can't afford him.

I had a disaster in fantasy. AZ whipped me and in my ESPN league I went from scoring 195 in my first week to struggling to break 100 this week. When Julio Jones' TD got reversed and declared down at the 2 I knew it just wasn't meant to be my week - my opponent had Freeman who punched in the TD. Dalton came through for me though!

In our league I'm in with a chance (thank you Larry Fitz) in a tight finish but in my ESPN leagues it's bad, worse and ugly. One of my teams has Romo, Dez Bryant and Andre Ellington.

Looks like da Bears are going to be disastrous again.

I'd say he realised if he held out much longer, there was chance the Seahawks might miss the playoffs, or be a wildcard. He wouldn't want that. He'll get paid eventually.

Don't forget, Redskins-Giants tonight.

AZ is there a record one week score in the history of our fantasy football league?
I think there has been a few instances of over 200 points scored but wondered if you knew or any of the lads here remember the highest score?
Title: Re: NFL Fantasy Football - GAABoard Superbowl XI
Post by: AZOffaly on September 28, 2015, 03:16:38 PM
We've had a few, but we experimented with scoring as well along the way. We used to award 6 points for a scoring touchdown pass for example, and we may have upped some of the defensive stats as well. Next year we may have to look at the extra point scoring. Seems wrong to treat it harsher than a 20 yard field goal, with the new rule changes.

I wou do go with Lacy, Adams shaping up well but Rodgers shares it about, Cobb, James Jones, Richard Rodgers as well as Adams. That's the bollocks about Fantasy, trying to work out how heavily someone is going to be used. Another reason for Lacy is Packers building up a lead then running to keep the lead/run clock down in second half

There was a competition that as free to enter and you didn't have to make a deposit. When I registered there was only something about not being from certain states????

Just a heads up for anyone using Was or Phi players this week, the hurricane that is anticipated to hit the East Coast is going to disrupt this game.

The NFL is looking at three scenarios:
1) Start the game earlier than normal
2) Move the game to another stadium
3) Postpone the game to both teams bye week as they have the same bye week

Through weeks 1 to 3 in my ESPN league, Vinatieri got me an aggregate 3 points so I binned him. Over the next two weeks he went and pulled in 23.

You'll eat yourself up every week if you keep thinking like that. All you have to ask is whether you evaluated the player, his situation and opponent correctly. What happens beyond that is out of your control. You can't know everything. Sport is unpredictable. What I try to do is make educated guesses at the most likely scenario. Makes it easier to live with.

I like a story one of the fantasy analysts told about a player and inside information. The jist is that they had it on very good authority (someone on the coaching staff) that a somewhat obscure player was going to feature heavily in a teams gameplan that week. The player was targeted on the first two plays and dropped the ball. QB lost confidence and changed the plans and the guy wasn't targeted again. So even when you know, it's unpredictable!

Yeah up and down for me too but a good week this week, Greg Olsen & Steve Smith coming up big for me. Left Martavis Bryant of the Steelers on the bench on his first game back, in a "prove it" game, and he goes for 28 pts.

My debut in the Jerry Rice has improved after a shaky start. A jammy opening day win for O'Neill got me off to the worst start and had a dismal Week 2 to go 0-2. Have picked up since then and Gary Barnidge has been my best pickup so far. Can't see me challenging AZ and his ridiculous scoring for title but can hopefully sneak into playoffs and maybe grab promotion.

I'm more worried about my other league. Competent performance from Dalton and a middling performance out of Hill or Jones would have seen me home. Instead, they have their worst performance of the season.

If I nick it, it'll be especially sweet after losing by 1.5 in the season opener.

Don't think I can drop Landry, he's my top scorer this season. I've ruled out Watkins but not sure what to do with the rest.
P.S. Would maybe be willing to trade a couple of receivers for a decent RB.

In my ESPN league I've been offered Charcandrick West and Sammy Watkins for Allen Robinson. I'm kind in need of an RB as Cheng options are Jeremy Hill, CJ Spiller and Orleans Darkwa. I have Julio Jones and Michael Floyd at WR so relatively stacked there. Once West is back from his bye next week, is this a good deal?
Title: Re: NFL Fantasy Football - GAABoard Superbowl XI
Post by: Oraisteach on November 05, 2015, 07:25:48 PM
Gallsman, what are Cheng options, apart from menu choices at a Chinese takeaway?  Well, despite the fact that Robinson has really appealing match-ups in weeks 14 and 16 (IND and NO), I'd make the deal.  Running backs are going down like flies, so West and Hill make a good dependable tandem.  Even though Khiry Robinson is finished, I don't foresee a huge rise in Spiller's touches, just more carries for Ingram.  Darkwa is an iffy RB.  Julio is definitely a prime asset, and Floyd is part of an offense that is throwing a lot.  Sammy Watkins has done zero, so with Taylor back as QB and a healthier Watkins, who knows, this could be a hidden gem.  For better balance and the comfort of a solid RB1 on my roster, I'd make the deal.

OK. I feel I've been negligent this year with updates and the like, apologies for that. I'll try rectify it slightly now with a state of the nation in all 3 leagues, now that we are 5 games from the end of the regular season and in the stretch run.

Montana Superbowl Championship.
Vince Lombardi Division
1   Smackdown Clowns   8-1-0   5-0-0   1281.57
4   Crossmaglen Hitmen   5-4-0   2-2-0   1125.25
5   Faithful Turfmen B   5-4-0   2-3-0   1055.65
8   New York Jets IX   3-6-0   1-4-0   1196.72
9   Mayo4Lombardi   3-6-0   2-3-0   1180.51
George Halas Division
2   Ruthless Rossies   7-2-0   5-0-0   1286.52
3   Galway Bay Tribesmen   5-4-0   2-2-0   1143.12
6   Coolera Bears   4-5-0   2-3-0   1183.72   1192.75
7   Savage Bears   4-5-0   3-2-0   1098.98   1061.22
10   Red Hand Helmets   1-8-0   0-5-0   1007.31   

The Smackdown Clowns and the Ruthless Rossies have given themselves a bit of breathing space in the Lombardi and Halas Divisions, with the Clowns owning the best record in the league at 8-1. Both teams look in good shape for a playoff run again, having finished 3rd and 1st overall last year, respectively. The race for the remaining positions remains very tight though, as no fewer than 5 teams are separated by a single game, and even the 3-6 teams, at just 2 games out, won't feel out of it with 5 games remaining. The Red Hand Helmets will be disappointed to be propping up the entire league on a 1-8 record.


Walter Payton B Championship


John Madden Division
1   Oraisteach's Browns   7-2-0   3-2-0   1357.95
3   Hegan's Clowns   6-3-0   2-2-0   1192.68
4   Oakleaf Dolphins   6-3-0   3-2-0   1192.64
5   Faithful Turfmen   6-3-0   4-1-0   1178.23
8   L'Esprit de Biff   3-6-0   0-5-0   996.97
George Allen Division
2   Rehab is 4 Quitters   5-4-0   4-0-0   1128.56
6   Big Apple Orchards   5-4-0   3-2-0   1066.76
7   Antrim89   3-6-0   2-3-0   1102.06
9   Colm O Mealoid   2-7-0   2-3-0   1219.67
10   Green Bay Smackers   2-7-0   1-4-0   971.79

A very tight and competitive league is underway in the Payton Championship, with no fewer than 8 teams still in with a realistic shout of making the playoffs. Oraisteach's Browns lead the way with a 7-2 record, but they hold only a 1 game lead over no fewer than 3 teams in their own division. Rehab is 4 Quitters has the 5th best record, but holds the second seed by virtue of leading the Allen division, albeit in a tiebreaker over Big Apple Orchards. 8 teams are within 4 games of the leader, with 5 games left, so it really is all to play for in the B Championship.


Jerry Rice C Championship



Bill Belichick Division
1   Faithful Turfmen C   8-1-0   5-0-0   1283.85
3   The Superb Owls   7-2-0   3-2-0   1114.60
6   Ushane's Bolts   4-5-0   3-2-0   1161.33
8   Bear You To Shreds   3-6-0   1-4-0   1118.21
10   Rg3 mickey2his knee   0-9-0   0-4-0   588.08
Andy Reid Division
2   FermanaghandSam   6-3-0   3-2-0   1311.57
4   Troy PolaMAYO   5-4-0   4-1-0   1168.38
5   Geezers 49ers   5-4-0   3-2-0   892.30
7   Tippabu   4-5-0   1-3-0   1033.50
9   david's Superb Team   3-6-0   1-4-0   920.70

Another interesting championship in progress here, with the Faithful Turfmen falling to 8-1 this weekend following a defeat to Tippabu who is on a 4 game tear at the moment. The Turfmen still look good for the playoffs holding the best record in the league, but they are being closely pursued by the 7-2 Superb Owls for the top spot in the Belichick Division. Third Place Ushane's Bolts are 4 games off the top spot, and probably hoping to grab a wildcard by chasing down the teams in the Reid Division, which is a lot closer and with fewer win totals. At 6-3 Fermanagh and Sam currently hold the whip hand, but Troy PolaMayo and Geezers49ers are only a game behind, while the aforementioned Tippabu lies a further game back. The two 3-6 teams are not out of it entirely either, but they have a good bit of road to make up given they are probably in with a chance of 2 slots at best.



I'll try and update weekly from now on, but this is when the rubber hits the road, so keep her lit lads.

Jaysus, no idea how that happened. Typo on phone or something. I managed to accidentally torpedo the deal by vetoing another that I didn't know mine was contingent on. Has managed to resurface this week and am pulling the trigger on it. Robinson has been a great servant to me though. Gave Demaryius Thomas to AZ for him as well!

I imagine he was quite a popular #1 pick last year and then he went and got himself suspended for the year. Can't account for things like that.

Do our Yahoo leagues have a trade deadline? My ESPN one tomorrow night and I'm running about trying to just how much I can get for Julio Jones.

Yeah, I drafted AP last year and bought myself a first class ticket to Relegationville. But, Seanie, Foster and Bell, that's some crappy RB luck.  But I still think you have to pick the good ones up early, and pray.  Second tier RB point production is a significant drop off.  On the other hand, like a kid with his nose pressed up against a shop window at Christmas, I look enviously at our Faithful commissioner's stable of WR thoroughbreds in the Payton: Odell, Larry Fitzgerald, Hopkins, Antonio Brown.  With that lineup he could start me at RB.

Post by: The Iceman on November 11, 2015, 07:10:30 PM
a few seasons ago I argued we should have 12 teams per league.
With only 10 everyone has good players and there are no scraps and very little room for trades and waiver pickups that are impactful.
when you have 12 teams per league theres much more hands on management and when you take a loss on one player you have a shot  -with 10 teams per league 1 or 2 losses buries you
Title: Re: NFL Fantasy Football - GAABoard Superbowl XI
Post by: Oraisteach on November 11, 2015, 08:15:09 PM
Iceman, that's exactly why I disagree with you and favor a 10-team league.  With larger leagues, an injury/suspension can devastate your team, but in a 10-team league you can at least pick up a serviceable player, perhaps not as good as the original, but not a complete stiff.  I'm in a 16-team league and need to pick up a RB but there is absolutely nothing available.  I'm scrambling to pick up a RB who will score just 1 point, which is why I enjoy this league more than the other.  I'm in first place, but am one injury away from disaster.
Title: Re: NFL Fantasy Football - GAABoard Superbowl XI
Post by: The Iceman on November 11, 2015, 08:56:28 PM
you cant judge a 12 team league based on a 16 team league.
In the 10 everyone has good players and a couple of solid backups on the bench.  Go back to the archives and you would see that when we had 12 teams in a league there were much more waiver wire pickups, trades and free agents moved in and out every week.
The 10 team league is about a good draft and who is lucky not to get injured.  The 12 is more about management and understanding of the positions, teams and players.
Title: Re: NFL Fantasy Football - GAABoard Superbowl XI
Post by: Oraisteach on November 11, 2015, 11:12:38 PM
No, I know there's a difference between a 10 and 16.  However, in my view, the more teams the greater the luck element. Injuries can end your season.  Though I lost Arian Foster, it didn't wipe me out.  In our 10-team league, I use the waiver wire a lot.  In fact, I think I have only 9 of the 19 players I originally drafted and have moved from a projected 5-9 season to having a shot at a playoff run.  Over the years, I've played in a 10, 12, 14 and 16 team league and have much more fun in the 10-team one.

A lot of those players were picked up during the season.

He could do with a Tight End! And Langford has possibly only one start left this season and it's against the Rams. No roster is perfect. Things change rapidly.

This weeks game will be tight but, the superb owls have a great 7-2 record.

Right lads, the end of another regular season. Well done to everyone who took part in any of the 3 leagues. We move onto the playoffs now, and the matchups are set...

In the Montana Superbowl, the number 1 seed is the 11-3 Smackdown Clowns, champions of the Lombardi Division, and they face the number 4 Crossmaglen Hitmen, who posted an 8-6 record. The second semi final sees the #2 see Savage Bears, winners of the Halas division and boasting a 9-5 record, take on the number 3 Ruthless Rossies, who ended on 8-6.

In the Walter Payton B Championship, the Number 1 seed Oraisteach's Browns at 10-4 took the Madden Division, and they will fancy their chances against the Faithful Turfmen, who finished with the number 4 seed on an 8-6 mark and are celebrating a promotion back to the top division after a few lean years. The Number 2 seed, at 10-4 also, and champion of the Allen Division, is Rehab is 4 Quitters, and they will take on the 8-6 #3 seed Oakleaf Dolphins.


Finally, in the Jerry Rice C Championship, the number 1 seed is the Faithful Turfmen C, and their 13-1 record. They will play the #4 seed Tippabu, who are the only team to have beaten the Turfmen in the regular season, so they will be confident of taking down the Belichick division champions. On the other side of the draw, the Reid Division champions, the 11-3 FermanaghandSam #2 seeds will take on the #3, 9-5 Superb Owls.

Enjoy the playoffs lads, best of luck to everyone, and remember the fixtures get a little odd this time of year. Games Thursday, Saturday, Sunday and Monday this weekend.

Go Cardinals!

He won't be rested. They're going for 16-0, and the #1 seed isn't secure yet. If they secure #1, they *might* rest him, but unbeaten seasons don't come around too often. The Colts used do stuff like that, and it never really worked out for them.

Raging to not make playoffs. I was close which wasn't bad in the circumstances, just needed one more win. A losing battle all year after the draft so would have been all the sweeter to pull it off. There's always next year.  ;)

It is, but where I am in a relegation/promotion position, we normally just do 3. This year my C team can't be promoted, but my A and B teams can swap. Very important that the original team get back into the A division :)

Emmanuel Sanders came up huge for me and barring a monster game from Megatron tonight I should make it through to play the comish for the Nicky Rackard in my debut season. A 9-5 team with some up and down performances all year going up against a dominant 13-1 team has a bit of a Giant-Patriots feel about it. Here's hoping!

Some finish in my C semi final. Hung on by .17 of a point, 141.39 to 141.22  No doubt a stat correction will rob me of a final berth!  But here, Tippabu, no need to stop me from coming into yer dressing room afterwards. Bad form.

No need for all the sledging and online abuse!! Crazy playoff week for me, im in 3 leagues, won one easy, lost this one my pretty much nothing and in my other i was 40 points behind with det and no to play, only had stafford and cooks to play and ended up winning that by less than a point!! Best of luck in the final anyways....we arent bitter or hold grudges down here ;)

AZ looks set to be champ in both B and C divisions. Poor choice to go with Seattle D going to cost me by the looks of things, and I had the Rams on the bench too! No complaints though, made the championship game and promoted and no shame in losing to a 13-1 team.

Congrats to AZ on clinching the Peyton championship.  His three starting WRs posted over 70 pts alone while he still had Odell Beckham, Larry Fitzgerald and Michael Floyd on the bench.  A juggernaut.  It'll only be a matter of time till all three Faithful Turfmen are in the top tier. :)

Winning the B division is great too, really wasn't expecting that.

And of course a big congratulations to our overall champion Savage Bears!! Another great win for Offaly.

Jaysus, I was being sincere, you were about 25 ahead and I think I had Sanders and Carlos Dunlap to go against Demayrius Thomas for you. Dunlap got 17?!

Delighted to have won! Very like the Giants as I said a few weeks ago although I feel more than a bit sheepish winning with a 9-5 regular season record!

Well done Savage on the win. My Clowns didn't even bring their B game for the final, was very one sided. I think im becoming the Mayo of this, 4 final appearances with one win.
My season roundup: (would like to see other players' as well)

Best Draft Pick: Antonio Brown (Round 1), finished as the top fantasy scorer in the league
Honourable Mentions: Tom Brady (5), Jarvis Landry (6)

Worst Draft Pick: Nelson Agholor (7) Bit of buzz about him in the preseason led me to take him in the 7th, 21rec 1TD for the season.
Honourable Mentions: Jimmy Graham (3), CJ Spiller (8 )

Best Pickup: Khalil Mack, sack master went wild for a few weeks when needed
Honourable Mentions: None

Worst Pickup: DuJuan Harris, picked him up when Rawls went down as it was noted he had a chance at winning the starting job, he became unemployed the same evening I picked him up...

Worst Drop: Corey Graham, he was pretty solid as a DB, 7-8 tackles a week but had to drop him on his bye week

Thanks again AZ for running it, will try again next year.

Best Draft Pick: This is easy as my draft was a disaster. Larry Fitzgerald in the 8th round.
Honourable mention: AJ Green in the 2nd round.

Worst Draft Pick: Now this is tough, so many candidates. Davante Adams in round 4 probably the worst. Big buzz about him in the aftermath of Jordy Nelson's injury but he was terrible.
Honourable mention: Peyton Manning (round 6)

Best Pickup: Cam Newton. I would have been toast without him.
Honourable mention: Michael Crabtree.

Worst pickup: Eric Ebron (the 3rd time I added him).
Honourable mentions: Eric Ebron (the 2nd time I picked him up).


Worst drop: Arizona DST. Boneheaded decision.
Honourable mention: Sammy Watkins. He went on a spree after I dropped him mid season.

I'd say we'll have space on this one, but let me get back to you. Check out ESPN and their draft kit (PPR format). PPR means Point Per Reception. Most leagues only reward yardage, but we reward the catch as well. Yahoo Fantasy also has some draft kits that will help.

I'm the same (must be a lot of teams on byes that week) but I'm not too concerned. A lot will change by then. If it was week 4 or 5 I'd be worried alright.

With a fully fit Jordy, Cobb and Eddie Lacy possibly staying out of McDonalds - prospects very good for Rodgers. Have a feeling Jared Cook is going to be big too, finally delivering on the hype after years of failing to.

I'm in this competition to win it. Not a fan of taking a QB early but at that point I didn't love the options available at other positions so pulled the trigger. Maybe I'm not as bad as you think!!!!

Jerry Rice down for 10pm Wed. Looking good to make this one.

Anyone any advice? i missed the draft on my other league as i got caught up at work and my team was auto picked. Obviously i got Tom Brady ffs. Do i keep him? I also got Tyler Eifert who earned me some good points last year but he's scheduled for week 4 return. Do i try and keep him as TE are few and far between. Not too many free agent TE left either.

Keep Brady.  Plenty of serviceable QBs out there to use for the first four weeks.  I'd keep Eiffert too.  Unlikely that there are useful TEs out there.  How big is your league.  Up the Ogs and Cuchulainns.

OK Lads,

Unfortunately I missed last night also. First time ever I've had to autodraft, and I had to do it twice!! Anyway, I'm happy enough with what I got, so we'll soldier on.

Tonight is the start of the season, as I'm sure you know, so make sure your lineups are set to reflect any Panthers or Broncos you want to have start.

Best of luck lads, enjoy the season. Here we go!!!!

Awk there's a long way to go yet but it was a nice start for me. Yeah who knows what will happen in Charlotte, expect the game will go ahead though.
Outside of Adrian Peterson I had actually been scoring fairly well despite being 0-2. Good craic so far and gives that extra bit of interest to the games.

AZ have you changed the defensive scoring in the Payton? Maybe it's a glitch with yahoo but it has went through the roof tonight!

No, I didn't do anything anyway! :)

Must have been a glitch - it's back to normal this morning. 40+ projected points for all the defensive players was a bit much ;D

Only one team in the 3 divisions has scored more than me - 1.60 points more - and they have twice as many wins as me! AZ - you're doing well to be 2-2 with the torrent of points scored against you....I thought I was bad!

Totally out of anyone's control that. The joy and frustration of this game.

Thanks for posting the standings, AZ.  Amazed that only two teams are unbeaten and one winless.  Looks like the division leaders are as follows:  2 Armagh, 2 Offaly, 2 Tyrone.  Love the names Ushane Bolts and Troy PolaMAYO.

Despite my worst score of the season I think I'm playoff bound in the Montana. Two of the guys that can pass me have to play each other so both can't pass me. I'd prefer to avoid #4 seed though with the points Oraisteach's Browns are putting up all season. A juggernaut, almost 200 points more scored than the second highest scorer, incredible.

PPR?

I'd start Gates.

Gates is playing against Carolina, who have given up 756 yards to Tight Ends, and 9 Touchdowns. Gates when healthy still gets a lot of looks from Rivers. He has 5 touchdown receptions this year, and I think he might get another one on Sunday.

Green is playing Buffalo, and they've given up just 3 touchdowns and 642 yards to Tight Ends. I know Green is coming off a hot week, but before this he has had very little, so he may well come back to earth. Also, Buffalo in December can be dodgy weather wise.

It's a bit of a risk, but I think Gates is steadier. If you want boom or bust, then maybe Green.

thrown away - how would I have secured it? I don't know who would have started Miami defense over Minnesota? And the kickers from Philadelphia or Washington were a coin toss? I was projected to win by 20 points... will see how tonight goes - I might scrape the playoffs...

I don't think he meant you did anything wrong....just that you were in possession of a playoff place and had a bad week at the worst time. It's an ultra competitive league and you've done really well.

Any decisions I make in fantasy football I never regret provided the process I used the make the decision and the care I gave it were correct. All you can do is make best guesses. In another league I got caught badly in the first round of my playoffs by Michael Thomas being inactive. I had to hastily drop a guy I didn't really want to drop for a bit of a Hail Mary play. If things don't work out tonight I'm too far behind to make it up next week and I'm number 1 seed. So I'll regret that one because I should have known better and paid more attention.

Looks like it'll be very exciting this evening.  Oraisteach's Browns and Coolera Bears have secured playoff berths, with five teams elbowing for the other two spots.  Match of the Day is Faithful Turfman B and Oakleaf Dolphins, each sitting at 7-6 and projected to score 79.73 and 79.30 respectively.  Seeking to go 7-7 are Crossmaglen Hitmen and Mayo4Lombardi, but Mayo is 50 pts behind the Coolera Bears and v unlikely to make up the deficit. Losing to the Rossies, Rehabis4Quitters is also at 7-7 but is around 100 pts. behind the other front runners in points scored.  The winner of the Turfmen vs Dolphins match is through, but if the Turfman lose and the Hitmen win, it should be thrilling to see who emerges as the Lombardi Division champion and automatic playoff slot winner.  Right now in the standings, the Turfman have a 30 pt. advantage over the Crossmaglen men, but the Offaly team has posted a 79.73 match total while the S. Armagh team is projected to score 110.29, which would bridge the point gap.  This is a very competitive league with unmilked cows likely to be found all over the country this evening.

i always preferred the larger leagues  - i said from the start in the snaller ones it takes one or two players to get injured and your season is over - in larger leagues its all about craft and knowledge, wheeling and dealing - i loved the craic this year - it was some competition

Have to disagree with you, Iceman, about big leagues.  I got off to a flying start, 3-1-1 and first place, but then went into free fall, but because I was in a high position I could never pick a decent player off waivers.  And that is why I'm a miserable 14th out of 16.  Finished 4-7-1. One serious injury and your whole season's done. In our league, I lost Keenan Allen right off the bat and was still able to recover.

Too early for worst draft picks ??

No? Allen Robinson of the Jags for me. Think he was my #1 draft pick

Post by: Oraisteach on December 12, 2016, 11:15:19 PM
Yeah, Minder, Robinson was a huge letdown.  So glad that I picked David Johnson instead of Todd Gurley.  DeAndre Hopkins was another first round damp squib.

My tuppence worth - in another 10 team league I play in I somehow finished #1 seed with a 11-2 record. Our semis and final are two legged and I miraculously pulled out a small lead from the first leg. The only player I drafted that I started this week was LeGarrette Blount who I picked in the 11th round. I drafted as follows: Rob Gronkowski, AJ Green, Jamaal Charles, Keenan Allen, Latavius Murray, Golden Tate, Eli Manning, Arian Foster, Allen Hurns, Josh Gordon, LeGarrette Blount, Vincent Jackson, Martellus Bennett, Chiefs DST, Jameis Winston, Mason Crosby.

The league is competitive but not as competitive as the Montana. I picked up Spencer Ware before week 1 and got Jordan Howard early. Also got Mariota and Davante Adams. Traded Latavius Murray for Michael Thomas after AJ Green went down. Thomas going down this weekend caught me on the hop and I had few options so plumped for Chris Hogan. Got a lucky break there.

What I'm saying is - there are loads of players out there so don't give up. If you get a few wins early and are then getting last selection off waivers it can be tough but it can be done. I've never played a league bigger than 12....must give it a shot next year.

I broke my golden rule in fantasy never ever pick a RB with 1st pick. Picked Gurley and will be relegated.

The Hitmen (won last 2games) made the play offs by 1.03pt over the turfmen (lost last 2games) after both finished 7-7. A game of inches!!

For taking second place in the Joe Montana League Yahoo sent me an invite to play in the Champion of Champions Daily Fantasy Football tournament for free. The contest was a lineup using 1QB, 2RB, 3WR, 1TE, 1flex and 1 Def based on a total "allowance of 200" and each player has a dollar value assigned and you pick your lineup on or under budget. The tourny was over the last three weeks. Ended up taking 58th/111,885 for $50.00  :o

It looks like there can be co-commissioners

https://help.yahoo.com/kb/SLN6090.html

Managing a Fantasy league can be a great way to add fun to the game, however it can sometimes be overwhelming. If you need help, or want to give the duties to another person, assign or change a commissioner or co-commissioner while the league is active, or after it's over for the season.

Assign or change during the season

    From Yahoo Fantasy, mouse over Fantasy | select a sport.
    Click your league name.
    Click the Commissioner tab.
    Under "League Management," click Assign Commissioner Access.
    Select the mangers you want as commissioner or co-commissioner.
    Click Submit.

Assign or change after the season is over

If you don't plan on returning to your league as commissioner next year, transfer duties to another owner even after the season ends.

    Click on your Fantasy Profile.
    Click on the league name.
    Click Set Commissioners.
    Select the new commissioner or co-commissioner.
    Click Submit.

I'll keep going if there's room.

Give any thoughts to a 16 team league AZ depending on numbers? We do one on a Celtic forum, think it's 4 division of 4, top team in each through to the playoffs and next 4 teams with best overall records through aswell. We do it on the nfl sites fantasy football. Makes the draft really interesting and tough.

Have to disagree with a 16-team proposal, Tipp. I play in one, and one injury and you're screwed.  I hope Shane is able to continue.  He's been far and away the best commish I've dealt with, but I can imagine the hassle of coordinating three leagues.

I like the promotion/relegation format that we have. I would be willing to be a co-commissioner in a division if the stuff I linked to earlier works. If you could get 2 volunteers from each division to be co-commissioners it could lessen the load.

I wonder is it possible to be a commissioner in a division that you are not competing in so that there is no way you can make decisions in your own favour?

Its a good competition and would be shame to let it slide as I think they are plenty who would help out with the workload.

Good man, AZ.  Thought I'd have to satisfy myself by watching only Browns games.  As reigning champ, I'm in the Montana, right?

AZ whats the story are we on for this year? I'm willing to be co-comissioner in our league and I see a few volunteers mentioned above.
If not I'm willing to run the top division this year myself - just not 3 divisions.
If you don't have time this year send me an IM with the Division 1 roster (including D2 winners from last year) and I'll set it up?

Sorry lads, I'll get this cracking over the next day or so. I'll start by identifying the lineups, and do the usual rigamarole about promotion/relegation then.

I look forward to one week in that Survivor pool :)


As for our drafts, it's really pedal to the metal time for me this week. I have completed a draft last night with lads from home, so here's the schedule for the Montana, Payton and Rice drafts. I'm aware it will not suit everyone, apologies for that, it's just impossible to accommodate all the different preferences. If you can't make it, all i can say is spend an hour, try and predict the draft based on ADP results and pre-rank your players the best way possible.

Montana Superbowl drafts TUES SEPT 5th (TOMORROW) at 9.30 PM Irish Time.

Payton Championship drafts WEDS SEPT 6th at 9.30 PM Irish Time.

Rice Championship drafts just before the Season starts on THURS SEPT 7th at 9.30 PM Irish Time

Post by: AZOffaly on September 07, 2017, 08:36:56 AM
They didn't want the players to be away from their families and homes. Given both teams are from Florida, and both teams happen to have the same bye week in week 11, I suppose it was fairly convenient.

It's going to tell against both teams later in the year when they have to play 16 weeks in a row.

Rocky start...week 1 I missed setting the lineup and my 6 guys on the bench scored more points than the 12 playing. Week 2 I left 42 points on the bench and lost again. This week I was very lucky and pulled a win - I missed that Baltimore were in england and should have went with Kansas DEF.

The Feckin' Frustrations of Fantasy Football!  Haven't seen this before.  All right, I was losing so badly to Oakleaf Dolphins that I didn't even bother watching MNF.  When I awoke on Tues. I was stunned to see that his AZ had collapsed and that my AZ DB had done well.  Result, I had lost by 0.9 points.  But . . . an hour later there was a scoring adjustment and I was awarded another point for a ridiculous 0.1 point victory.  Jubilation. No longer winless.  Unfortunately, I got up this morning only to discover yet another scoring change, this time in Oakleaf's favour.  So, once again, back in the realm of loserdom. Well done, Oakleaf.

As if that weren't bad enough, in my other league I played against a guy who drafted five players called 'Austin' because he liked the name.  An easy win, right, except that he also had Gurley, Brees  and Chris Thompson, enough to just edge me.

Rate this trade please. Team A trades Dez Bryant and Jamaal Charles. Team Building trades A.J. Green.
Title: Re: NFL Fantasy Football - GAABoard Superbowl XII
Post by: Oraisteach on September 28, 2017, 05:43:16 PM
Much depends on the other players on each team's rosters.  That said, AJ Green is a marquee WR, and while that could be said of Dez too, he faces a very tough schedule of cover corners, so his value is diminished, which brings up Charles.  He's starting to see more of the ball in DEN and is looking good, and with Anderson's propensity for injury, this is an intriguing gamble.  Even with a shaky Dalton, Green is top class, but Dez is capable of a big game, even with tight coverage.  This trade balances a reliable WR1 against a potentially v good WR and an RB who could suddenly find himself the starting RB.

If I were the Green owner and had a solid team built around him, I wouldn't make the trade, but if I had a shaky lineup, likely to go nowhere, I'd take the risk, with its high upside, and make the deal.
Title: Re: NFL Fantasy Football - GAABoard Superbowl XII
Post by: AZOffaly on September 28, 2017, 05:56:58 PM
Same as that. AJ Green is guaranteed points, even with Andy Dalton playing like a meb. However, Jamaal Charles is having an indian summer, and Dez Bryant is a solid option if the Cowboys get motoring. If I had AJ Green and shite at RB I'd think about it. But in all likelihood I'd pick up someone on Waivers who might contribute and the net of AJ + Random RB is probably > Dez + Jamaal over a season.

I didn't realize this until reading your post just now. I was raging to see I had 'lost' by 0.1 points having looked good for the win. A pleasant surprise for me getting the win. Fantasy football really can swing one way or the other so easily.

Latavius Murray? Drop him as McKinnon will get majority of the work now

Minder's right if your Murray is Latavius, but if it's DeMarco, I'd be inclined to start him over Peterson. In fact, I'd bench Peterson until he shows that he's capable of producing. Too much of a gamble.  As for your TE dilemma, I'd say it's really a toss up, but if I had to pick, I'd go with Bennett. Any time your QB is Rodgers, you'll get receptions and possibly a TD.

I'm guessing 42.5 from Amari Cooper is part of that? I have him in the Montana and I just couldn't bench him (thankfully) because my other options were so crap.

Playing an ESPN league with friends and I got. Cooper as part of a trade a few weeks ago. Started him for first time last night and had Kelce too. Had 3 TDs and 110 yards between them by the end of the first quarter!

Nice. I was kind of forced into playing him and kind of felt he was too good to remain terrible. KC gives up a lot of points to WR's.

You have been tremendously unlucky I have to say. You've a good team, wouldn't be surprised at all if you made the playoffs.

Everything clicked for me this week, just fortunate. I picked David Johnson first and focussed on WR thereafter so when he went down I was screwed at RB. Traded for Carson and boom - he goes down too. Somehow I've scraped some results together before hitting good scores the last two weeks. It's a tough season, tougher than I can remember in the years I'm doing this.

Is it a PPR league? I think it's not a bad deal. Fitz should still be ok with Stanton. McKinnon will be hit and miss....in PPR he should be serviceable most weeks. Gronk is Gronk. Gurley is a top 5 RB. I wouldn't have much value on Cobb with Rodgers out. Without seeing your full roster it's hard to say but I'd strongly consider doing it.

McKinnon could potentially be replaced by CJ Anderson in the trade? But to be honest I don't see much difference in them.

Post by: Oraisteach on October 25, 2017, 08:50:52 PM
Hard to evaluate the trade without seeing your full roster, but if you're struggling, I'm guessing that besides Gurley your team is so-so, in which case you're getting three serviceable players for Gurley.  Cobb's value is diminished without Rodgers.  Fitzgerald is solid, even with Stanton, Gronkowski is a football magnet, and in a PPR set-up, McKinnon will get you some points.  So, I'd probably accept that trade, if I were in your spot.

Managed to flip Watson! Watson and Kelce for Bell and Jordan Reed. He'd only give me Bell if I included Kelce, who I struggled to give up as I love him and think he's brilliant. I have Cameron Brate who's the 4th ranked TE so can't complain. Reed good back up if he could ever stay healthy!

Watson and Kelce are a lot to give up.  I have Reed in another league, but he is virtually worthless because he is so injury-prone.  Besides Bell, who else do you have?

Watson and Kelce a lot to give up but with Wilson as well I have the one and two ranked QBs, so I'm giving up only a superfluous asset alongside Kelce. Brate will be ample replacement for Kelce although James could do with picking things up.

I'm also looking to swap Jordan Howard and JuJu Smith-Schuster for Antonio brown. Roster would then be Wilson, Bell, Chris Thompson, Tevin Coleman, Brown, Dez, Amari Cooper, Brate and Reed. I think that's pretty solid business, no?

Thought you knew, was continuing the conversation from the other night!

Watson has two games against the Colts so plenty interested in him. Tried to get people to bite on Wilson instead but it wasn't happening. Offered Watson and Coleman for Bell but he insisted on Kelce so I asked for Reed for some insurance and he agreed. If Reed could just get healthy he's the third best TE in the league after Gronk and Kelce. Until his next concussion of course.

Not a GAABoard league. Guy who has Brown has just lost Zeke so he needs RB help and is a big Bears fan so hopefully Howard (especially with Foxball being on ultra conservative mode now Trubisky is starting) tempts him.

Title: Re: NFL Fantasy Football - GAABoard Superbowl XII
Post by: AZOffaly on November 02, 2017, 11:33:31 AM
I'm wary of Fuller. He's only got a handful of catches, and about 7 of them have been touchdowns! That's not sustainable surely.
Title: Re: NFL Fantasy Football - GAABoard Superbowl XII
Post by: magpie seanie on November 02, 2017, 01:51:10 PM
It's a reasonably fair trade. As the previous posters have alluded to Fuller won't keep up his TD rate and Thompson is much more valuable in a PPR league than a standard scoring one. Would need to see who else you have to say whether I'd do it. In PPR it would be hard to let go of Brown and Thompson as Fournette, though a beat, doesn't catch many passes.

Yeah, was trying to do a trade but it didn't come off. I think when (if) Zeke's suspension kicks in, they'll have to use Dez more. Might look at it again this week even with Dez getting a knock.

He's an enigma, gallsman.  He gets tons of targets, but just not in the end zone. Only 1 TD all season! Do you own him, or are you trying to pick him up.  He's scoring OK, but not as his owners would have hoped.  You have to believe that he'll get better.  For crying out loud, he's scored once more than I have.  I'd hold on to him in hopes that he scores some TDs, unless you are offered someone of comparable RB1 or WR1 value.

I'm considering trading Dez and Amari Cooper for him, which is potentially a lot to give up.

I've always drafted him if I can and am convinced that he HAS to break out soon. He's too good not to.

I traded next to nothing for Cooper and got him in time for his massive game a few weeks ago but I'm not sure he's worth much going forward. The Raiders are baaaaaaaad.

Thought you might have had AB and some other decent WR's. Go with your gut but I'd nearly go for AJ Green instead. Guaranteed targets as they've nothing else.

You do have the proverbial embarrassment of riches, but I'd agree with seanie that Dez and Amari Cooper for Julio, who is not producing, is too much to give up.  How are your RBs?

Bell, Chris Thompson, Tevin Coleman, Kenyan Drake, Latavius Murray.

I'm 3-6 (f**king Golden Tate robbed me of going 4-5 on Monday night) so trying to make another trade after getting Bell and AB to give me a chance of sneaking into final playoff spot.

I drafted Green and traded him for Dez and Charles when it looked like Charles might actually feature in a decent Denver offence!  :'( :'( :'(

You need to win your next game. You have to trade for the player you think will score the most points this week.

3-6 here too in the Montana, just not scoring enough. DeMarco Murray hasn't stayed healthy and Mike Evans just got himself suspended so not looking like i'll be shooting up the league soon either. I'd take a strong look at trade offers if there is a good RB involved.

Big weekend in the B Championship
I'm up against Savage Bears in a top of the table clash. A win there and it looks like I've my division wrapped up but the good teams are all on the other side.
TroyPolaMayo could cause a shock and beat 3rd place Smackdown Clowns
There is 0.21 currently projected between Ruthless
rossies and Faithful Turfmen. A win for RR could wrap up the top 4 but a win for FT would potentially leave 4 teams with one game between them for three spots

Well, in the Montana, with the Monday game still to go, it looks as if the Super Bowl champion will either be the Coolera Bears or the Faithful Turfmen, in which case, I believe, we'll have our first 2-time Super Bowl champion.

At this time, as last year's champ, I want to whinge about the vicissitudes of fantasy as I'm destined for relegation. Despite being the league's second highest scorer, I'm for the drop. Two score adjustments did me in big time. But c'est la vie. Still, it was great fun again, and I want to thank the commish for hosting the league this year again. Good luck to all playoff teams.

Congrats AZ. Disappointing final but the Wilson/Baldwin TD last night was the killer blow. Texans refusal to use Lamar Miller tonight put a ribbon on it. I was struggling all year after drafting David Johnson and probably got this far due to Jacksonville and my defensive players. Very disappointed to lose another final but well done on being the first 2 time champion.

Thanks lads. Two close finals. I was watching the Steelers and Texans telling Bill O'Brien to ignore Lamar Miller! I went to bed happy enough with a 4 point lead, and Alshon Jeffrey to come, only for him to return 0 points.  I was sure I'd been beaten by not selecting the Cardinals Defence! Luckily enough the Steelers came through.

No worries. Reading my post back, apologies if it came across a little harshly, wasn't my intention. Honestly not overly bothered by which division i'm in, just enjoy playing. It gives that bit extra bit of an enhanced experience when watching the games.

OK Lads,

Good news on the Montana Superbowl, it has reached 10/10 teams, so we can schedule a draft. What works? Season kicks off Next Thurs, but if we go past Monday, we'll probably miss Week 1.



As for the B Championship, We are short 2. Tippabu, you're invite should be there, but looks like you haven't joined? There's been no reply from Hunkin honchos, so LurganBlue, if you want in, you're in.

On the C Championship, We're still waiting on L'Esprit de Biff, Troy Polamayo and Colm O'Mealoid.

Just to note the commish can set the start week for scoring. I had to manually adjust the week last year for another league of mine from Week 2 to Week 1 after we drafted real close to the league kickoff.

Any evening suits me to draft. Thanks AZ

Thanks for organising that draft AZ.

SF RB Jerrick McKinnon looks likely to have torn his acl and might be out for the season. Somebody just drafted him in tonights draft. I am not gloating though, my kicker Dan Bailey just got cut by the cowboys

Looking for some advice for my ESPN league. I have three spots to fill - RB2, WR2 and FLX. I have four candidates:

Kenyan Drake
Chris Thompson
JuJu Smith-Schuster
Demaryius Thomas

The points projections suggest Drake, JuJu and Thomas but I find it hard to ignore Thompson after how good he looked last week and he awful the Colts' D is.

Thoughts?

Post by: Oraisteach on September 13, 2018, 06:53:54 PM
Gallsman, I see your dilemma because there's not a lot to choose between them.  Though I'd probably go with Shuster, Thomas and Drake myself, I also believe that the points predictions are not carved in stone and that in cases like this you should go with your gut. If he has a great day and he's sitting on your bench, you'll kick yourself. So, assuming you go with Thompson, I'd probably bench Drake, but then again my opinions are about as reliable as my postman—i.e. not at all. Good luck.

So I played Thomas, Thompson and Drake.

If me Clowns had your schedule id be 6-1 tho ;)
That said i don't think my team is up to all that much, drafted McKinnon as my RB1 and since he went down it's been a mish-mash of fill ins at RB. The waiver claims is a bit of a non event for me as having claim number 10 each week leaves me scraping the barrel, if i get any injuries my bench is worse than Bills. Still, 7-0 allows some leeway down the stretch..

Congrats on the win Minder.

For all winners in the league and I believe this also goes for 2nd and 3rd place finishers (check your email) there is a contest for the playoffs for free where you can win actual money, last year I won 50 taking 58th place out of 111,855  - first place won 5,000!! I just checked the history and it was for the Fantasy Football Silver Cup meaning I finished 2nd in our league so watch for the email.

This might be why:

Free to enter. Multi-round, single-entry contest with 3 rounds where the top 1,425 entry overall and top 267 entries per round share $5,000, with $1,000 to first overall and $100 to first per round. Scoring will be cumulative across all rounds. You may join this multi-round contest at any point. Future rounds entries will be reserved. You will draft a new team before each round starts. Visit help for more details. Open to legal residents of the 50 United States, the District of Columbia, and Canada excluding Quebec, who have reached the age of majority in their respective state/province/territory at the time of entry. Good luck!

I'm stateside so thats probably why I received this.

Just want to say a big go raibh maith agat for running this league. I know we've perhaps talked you into keeping it going this past few years and I'm sure its a bit of a nuisance but i've no doubt speaking on behalf of the lads that we appreciated the time and effort that went into it.  ive really enjoyed it and i hope some poor soul takes it on.

I, too, would like to thank AZ for hosting the most fun league and format I've ever been part of. I'm sure that coordinating three divisions with 30-odd teams was often a headache, but I really appreciate AZ's efforts, and like Spirit, I hope someone picks it up, or at least one of the divisions. Good luck, AZ, and go Cards (after the Browns, of course). If anyone happens to have a few spot in one of their leagues, I'd be interested.

We can't let it die. I'll take over at least one of the leagues if needed. Or if anyone is interested in playing this year could post in here we could maybe get away with one slightly bigger league?

For those that don't bother reading previous pages, I think AZOffaly is asking for a volunteer to take this thing over completely. 

Otherwise it dies.  Automatic emails to last year's contestants does not mean the thing is up and running this year.

AZ can correct any/all of this.

I'll take it over. I did ask for people to say if they were still interested. No point having 3 leagues if there isn't enough people interested. AZ, do you have a list of all 3 leagues where you could gauge interest from the existing teams in participating again this year?

Right folks, let's start with the Montana from last year. If you are one of these teams and still want to play this year please let me know. I'll start bolding the teams still interested. Let me know which team is yours in case I can't connect the dots. Will do promotion/relegation once I have a gauge on the teams interested.

16 so far interested in playing again with a couple more new players also expressing interest. It's looking more likely that it will be 2 divisions this year as opposed to 3 but i'll give it another couple of days to see. Promotion/relegation will be done once numbers are finalized. Again, if you own any of the teams above and haven't already let me know, please advise if you are interested in playing this year or not. Thanks.

Don't worry, you will be in. You were relegated last year is all. Send me a PM with your email address and I'll get you added to the 'B' once I get commish access.

Same goes for the other relegated sides, just send me a PM with your email address.

I would think its a case of the max teams in the league being set to 10. That just needs to be adjusted up to 14 or so while movement is ongoing to allow for the extra teams, it can be adjusted back down again when need be.
Ive seen the issue elsewhere other years..

When you remove them, it's a two step process. You'll see they still look like they are invited. Effectively the first 'remove' puts them back to invite stage. You then have to look at the invites list and minus those ones to actually delete them.

Thanks AZ. Got the 4 teams removed in the 2nd step also. Could one of the 4 promoted teams please try the email invite link once more and let me know if that now works. Thanks

None yet. We will have to draft sharpish though as I've the 'B' to sort out as well. If any date doesn't suit please let me know. Sunday, Monday or Wednesday evening/night probably suits me best.

Good draft last night. 19 is a large roster so to have it done in 75 minutes was good going. Gas in a 10 team league you look at your roster and go - "ya, I should do well" - and then you check out a few of your opponents rosters and go - "oh sh1t"!!!!

Yeah, ran off smoothly. Yahoo gave me an A grade and predicted me to go unbeaten, so no doubt I'll finish in last place. I don't think it factored in the risks I took with my picks (Zeke, Melvin Gordon and AJ Green especially). Really could be a boom or bust year for me.

14-0 Oakleaflad! I, on the other hand, received a brutal review from the computer, the equivalent of "You made a horse's arse of the draft!"

Draft Summary
Blessed with a solid draft position (No. 4 overall), expectations were high for Oraisteach's Browns. After drafting, however, those expectations vanished instantly,

So, relegation, here I come.

I missed the boat early on the running backs and went with receivers instead (9th pick).   Thought i did ok to get Michel late on. 15 carries last night for 14 yards, with the offence putting up 33 points. stinkin.

Michel will improve in the coming weeks.

Watkins looks like a great pick now with hill getting injured. He should get a lot more targets as a result.

Post by: gallsman on September 09, 2019, 06:11:22 PM
Brown and Gordon will really open things up for White and Michel. Michel can't catch passes though which will always limit how much Bellichick will use him, along with the fact he's made of glass.

Ben Roethlisberger was my second QB pick, towards the end of the draft I noticed Tom Brady was still available so I picked him as well even though I thought having 3 QBs was a bit much. I reckoned that I could use one as trade bait.

Glad I mad that decision now.

I was the fool, Dec, who drafted Brady and had to cut him loose because both of my QBs had the same week.

Got a serious question and would like your opinion. In another league I'm in, one person traded Elliott, Kelce, and Valdez-Scantling for Melvin Gordon, Greg Olsen, and Chark. Do you think that was a fair trade?
Title: Re: NFL Fantasy Football - GAABoard Superbowl XII ** Important C Update *****
Post by: gallsman on October 12, 2019, 06:09:54 PM
Absolutely not. Massively lopsided to the team getting Elliott and Kelce.

That trade shouldn't have been allowed. Ridiculous

Thank you gallsman and cadhlancian for taking the time to respond. I didn't mention that in another trade a couple of weeks back he also traded Bengals WR Ross for DeAndre Hopkins, which makes me question the intelligence of those agreeing to such trades. The cynic in me also thinks collusion, but no recourse from the commish since the deal-maker IS the commish. But thanks again, lads.

Unless you can prove collusion just suck it up and get on with it. It's impossible to argue anything other than Elliot > M Gordon, Kelce > Olsen and MVS < Chark. Chark's superiority over MVS doesn't come close to redressing one never mind 2 of the other imbalances though. Ross for DeAndre Hopkins is totally indefensible.

If a trend emerges or has emerged though you might want to find another league to take part in.

I'd prefer Tyreek Hill. I'd need to get more to deal him.

Also - don't go with this "who wins" approach. If it makes sense for your team, do it.
Title: Re: NFL Fantasy Football - GAABoard Superbowl XII ** Important C Update *****
Post by: gallsman on October 15, 2019, 02:09:58 PM
I wouldn't swap Hill for that. He's the number 2 overall threat in that offense behind Kelce whilst getting the ball from Patrick effing Mahomes. Williams doing plenty of sharing with Shady McCoy.

Same deal ffs, do not give up an elite Tier 1 WR for a shite RB who isn't getting that much work and Tate who has bottom end WR2 as his ceiling.

I'd have Tyreek and Thomas on a par. Thomas will improve again when Brees returns. Those two seem to be on a similar wavelength

Forgot to set my team in time this week so I left an 18pt WR on the bench with a bye player starting which was the difference in the game with Geezers49ers. I have now lost 5 out of the last 6 so my playoff/promotion run is looking much less likely now.

Woken up at 3.30am by the wind so got up to watch the last quarter of Seahawks/Rams and the conclusion to a titanic fantasy "win and you're in" clash between myself and Oraisteach. Games finished with an interception by my QB (Wilson) but I was still ahead by 0.33. When I got up there I checked the score and turns out I've lost by 2.67. Aaron Donald seemingly scores points when he's not even playing.

Absolutely gutted. 2nd time I'll lose to Oraisteach scoring over 151 points this season. Lost all my tight matchups. Good luck to Oraisteach and the guys who made the playoffs.

Post by: Oraisteach on December 09, 2019, 07:47:04 PM
Seanie, I had the reverse reaction. Went to bed having lost by 0.33, deeply regretting starting Benny Snell in place of injured Josh Jacobs. Snell fumbles and costs me 2 points, eventually rallying to earn me a mammoth 0.05 points. Imagine, how stunned I was to awake and find out that Donald had in fact been given credit for another sack!

We had two very close high-scoring contests this year, Seanie. Delighted to have made the playoffs but all too familiar with the agony of succumbing to the stat correction. The thing is, further stat adjustments could still be made before Thursday, so still not super confident.

Think it was an extra half sack and a tackle. I had been watching and thought the half sack was dubious....thought the other player had the QB going down before Donald got there and saw the points weren't awarded. I had seen the other sack and pass defensed. Wilson threw a hail Mary pick at the end too. Also left Mixon and Manny Sanders on the bench. Luke Kuechly was on 11 points at one stage and finished with 8 I think. These things happen.

I love this league because it's so competitive. Brilliant that it is still running, kudos to the Commish.

Right men, I've bolded those who have got back to me, sorry if I've missed anyone. I'll have a look through again. If anyone is on the list and hasn't got back to me please let me know either way. Or if anyone knows anyone on the list who hasn't responded please give them a shout, I think there is one that's possibly not on the board.

Anyone who didn't play last year but would like to this year just let me know and we can add folks in if a free spot becomes available. 

Draft will probably be towards the end of August for both leagues but would like to have everything organized in advance. Thanks.

Right men, I've bolded those who have got back to me, sorry if I've missed anyone. I'll have a look through again. If anyone is on the list and hasn't got back to me please let me know either way. Or if anyone knows anyone on the list who hasn't responded please give them a shout, I think there is one that's possibly not on the board.

Anyone who didn't play last year but would like to this year just let me know and we can add folks in if a free spot becomes available. 

Draft will probably be towards the end of August for both leagues but would like to have everything organized in advance. Thanks.

A few of my friends are team owners but not at all regular on Gaaboard, possibly only registered here years ago for entry to this league! All have confirmed they are back in for this year: New York Jets XI, Ruthless Rossies, Troy PolaMayo all back in.

FULL HOUSE

OK folks as I finished 3rd in the 'B' league last year and can't be promoted, there's only going to be 3 up, 3 down this year.

Relegated to B:
Red Hand Helmets
Crossmaglen Hitmen
Antrim 89

Promoted to A:
Galway Bay Tribesmen
No Luck
Geezers49ers

Expect to see emails saying you have been removed from the league. I may have email addresses for some of you from last year but all of the teams mentioned above will have to send me their email address so I can invite them to their new league following promotion/relegation, if you could PM me the email address and corresponding team name that would be great.

Will then work on getting a draft date and time sorted. If there's any dates/times that suit/don't suit feel free to let me know.

Edit: Actually only need an email address for Red Hand Helmets, have all the others already and invites have been sent.

All 10 teams have joined in The Turfmen GAABoard Superbowl. They are as follows:

Vince Lombardi Division


New York Jets XI. 
Ushane's Bolts. 
Oakleaf Dolphins. 
Galway Bay Tribesmen.
No Luck. 

George Halas Division

Smackdown Clowns.
Oraisteach's Browns. 
Coolera Bears.
Savage Bears. 
Geezers49ers. 



Just waiting on Red Hand Helmets to send me an email address so I can invite to the Walter Payton. The other 9 teams have joined.

Cut off for the player opt-outs is tomorrow so i'd be comfortable drafting any time after that. Please let me know if there is a date/time that doesn't suit anyone. There's a bit of organizing in the 2 leagues and i'd like to get the 'A' out of the way as soon as possible (within reason).
Title: Re: NFL Fantasy Football - GAABoard Superbowl XII ** Important C Update *****
Post by: oakleaflad on August 05, 2020, 03:27:37 PM
Update

All teams have now joined in both leagues.

Ideally i'd like to go with the A draft at some stage maybe next week and the B draft the week after, something like that anyway where I can give folks a bit of leeway with days etc.

I'll start with the Turfmen 'A' draft. Would there be an evening next week that definitely wouldn't suit anyone in that draft?

Oakleaflad, just a suggestion. In view of Covid and the effects it's likely to have on rosters, how about increasing by 2 the number of bench players and the number of IR slots?

Not really, Thursday will be exactly 4 weeks until the season begins and I've already drafted in another league i'm in. Opt out date has passed, so I think we should be good. Plus I have to do the B draft. There's a bit of organizing and i'd rather draft if people are free to this week, rather than wait until the week before only for it not to suit people etc.

I can randomize the draft order today if people want to do research beforehand.

I've increased the IR slots from 1 to 3 in both leagues for the coming season due to Covid-19.

Interested to hear feedback regarding bench spots
. 6 is quite small for a starting squad of 13. This does mean that good players are still available on waivers etc and keeps the draft relatively short but means not all positions can be covered etc. If there is a majority thinking we should increase I will do so.

I have literally zero prep done this year and am busy with work this week. Doesn't suit me anyway but I'll go with the majority.

You probably should have led with that :P Is there anyone else this Thursday doesn't suit in the 'A'? I realize I probably won't be able to suit everyone but will try to if I can.

I'm actually in the same boat as GBB - not a tap of research done and up the walls with work and other activities. Mightn't be any better next week either but there you go....I'm happy with the change.

Ya - I'm ususally graded as one of the bottom teams. Worryingly I'm a little higher this year.....probably my lack of research! Was a well conducted draft....kudos to all involved it rolled very well. 1 hour 20 minutes for I think 19 players is a great job.

Has a player gotten over 50 points before in a single game? I remember seeing a few team defences getting in the high 40s but 52.23 for Tyler Lockett last night has to be a record?

I had a team defense score 53 one time....I think it was the "Legion of Boom" in their pomp. In terms of individual players I can't remember but that score will take some beating.

The best one ive ever had was a Mike Vick game with the Eagles one Monday night a decade ago, it was a monster score. Had a google to get the exact stats: 333 pass yards 4 Pass TDs + 80 Rush yards 2 Rush TDs. Still only 42 points.
I imagine someone started Brees in that shootout game vs the giants back in 2015, 505 yards and 7 Pass TDs for 47points.
The best i think based on our scoring settings belongs to Jamaal Charles back in 2013 for the Chiefs v the Raiders: 20 Rush yards 1 Rush TD + 8Rec for 195 Rec Yards 4 Rec TDs for 52.75 points. His owner that night was Coolera Bears.

The Vick and Brees games were from memory but the Charles game came from Google. To find you were his owner i went into the leagues history to see who owned him that year.

The Jets are absolutely flying it in the A at the moment, in stark contrast to their NFL namesakes. 12-0 coming into this week.

Likewise the Red Hand Helmets are sitting pretty atop the B with an 11-1 record and 3 game advantage coming into this week.

I may be at yo-yo team level myself as I've a 4-8 record in the A as opposed to an 8-4 record in the B.

My 11th season in this league (there have been 13 in all). Won it once, 2nd 4 times, 3rd once and 4th another time. The Jets are the first team to retain the title in league history and only the 3rd team to have won 2 titles (Savage Bears and the founding Commish, Faithful Turfmen B). It's a great competition each year. Well done all.

The following people should have received an email:

Troy PolaMayo
Red Hand Helmets
Crossmaglen Hitmen
No Luck
Savage Bears
And our new player The Turk.

Geezers49ers and TwoUpTwoDown - offer stands, if you would like i'll see if I can extend the B league to 12 teams.

Folks listed above, just check you have received an email. I'm going off what I have or is on the website. It may have sent to a Yahoo email address instead of a personal one. If anyone listed above needs their invite sent to a different email address just let me know via PM. Fingers crossed we can get this sorted in time.

Good shout.

Still only 9/10 in the B.

Savage Bears I've sent an invite. Let me know if email address needs to change.
Geezers49ers send over an email address for invite.
TwoUpTwoDown has sent an email address. If nothing further in a couple days I'll have to keep it at 10 on first come first served but I'd rather avoid that if we can and get the 12 added.

I'm hoping for 3rd time lucky this year. Superbowl defeat 2 years ago, tame semi final loss last year. Don't wanna be a Mayo.

Oraisteach and I are in the same boat. A maddening game this at times. Is it 4 relegated or 3?
Title: Re: NFL Fantasy Football - GAABoard Superbowl XII ** Important C Update *****
Post by: Oraisteach on December 14, 2021, 11:00:15 PM
It's usually 4, unless the commish finishes in the top 4 in Div. 2, in which case only 3 can be promoted and therefore only 3 relegated from Div. 1. Yeah, Seanie, you and I are in similar spots, high scorers languishing in the mid to bottom half of the table,  and here we are squaring off against each other in the final match of the regular season. Good luck. Sure you're fit to be tied after the Jets edged you by the slimmest of margins this past weekend. With my win, I've avoided the drop, but it's a nail biter for the 4 teams at 5-9.
Title: Re: NFL Fantasy Football - GAABoard Superbowl XII ** Important C Update *****
Post by: oakleaflad on December 15, 2021, 12:50:40 PM
On that subject, how does everyone feel about the 4 up, 4 down (note: it has been 3 up and down this past 2 years)?

The thinking is to keep things fresh but it is an extra bit of work for me and I had some thoughts about changing to 2 up, 2 down as it's only 10 team leagues?

I'd like to get the thoughts of everyone.

Title: Re: NFL Fantasy Football - GAABoard Superbowl XII ** Important C Update *****
Post by: Oraisteach on December 18, 2021, 07:03:35 PM
I support 4 up 4 down. My feeling is that if you make the playoffs in Div. 2 (Walter Payton), then your reward ought to be promotion. Of course, if the commish finishes in the playoffs, then only 3 should go up since obviously the commish can't have 2 teams in the same division. Similarly, if the commish finishes in the bottom 4 of Div. 1, then only three should be relegated/promoted. Good luck. May your team beat Covid!

Any potential dates for the drafts?
Title: Re: NFL Fantasy Football - GAABoard Superbowl XII ** Important C Update *****
Post by: oakleaflad on August 29, 2022, 01:00:46 PM
No response yet from Crossmaglen Hitmen (last years winners), Turkhaus (who would have been promoted) and Mayo4Lombardi.

If anyone knows any of these players could you give them a shout? Will give it a day or two.

***Please keep an eye on the board over the next few days as will need to send emails for promotion/relegation and potential new players as well as organizing the dates for drafting***. Cutting it a little tight but will get it sorted so long as the emails are responded to on time.

Could David McKeown and Muck Savage private message me an email address. I will do my best to accommodate the new and returning team.

No, but we have a couple new players. Sorry it's so tight for time, I've been very busy. Will make it work as best I can. If you think you've been promoted/relegated please pm me your details and I'll try to sort it this evening.

Ok I have the following teams relegated:

New York Jets XI
Smackdown Clowns
Coolera Bears

And promoted:

Lurgan Saints
Ruthless Rossies
Antrim89

***I need email addresses for the above teams***

I have an email address for Smackdown Clowns, Lurgan Saints and Antrim89 from previously and have sent those invites. If a new email address is being used please let me know. New York Jets XI isn't on the board so Dec if you could send that through. Couldn't find one from from Coolera Bears and Ruthless Rossies. Have added the two new teams in. Will try to run the drafts off on Wednesday or Thursday evening if we can.

I'm honestly struggling to find it (Yahoo isn't very user friendly as commish) but found online it was midnight Pacific Time on the Wednesday last year. So assuming it's the same this year we'll have to go Wednesday evening.

You can draft right up until kick off of the first game. We usually draft on kick off night in another Yahoo league im in. You do have to manually change the "Start scoring week" setting from week 2 to 1 though as it runs so close to gametime

Who is Blue Biffo in the 'B'? Seems to have joined twice somehow. Hopefully I haven't messed up there somehow, just need to figure out which one to remove.

Good news for the 'A' - just got an email address to send the last invite so we should be full there shortly.

In the B - Trying to make sure all 3 of New York Jets XI, Smackdown Clowns and Coolera Bears get their invites following relegation, so please send me email addresses as soon as possible. Thanks!

Showing me you came 8th with a 6-9 record.
I came 7th with a 8-7 record.

Even if you did come 7th you'd still be relegated as I can't be relegated as commish.

The standings for relegation were always taken at the end of the regular season. I was 7th at that stage. Think you were 6th. Yahoo changes your rank based on how you do in the week 16 and 17 games which were never counted before.

I'm going to be honest and say I don't think they have been this past few years. I've already the invites sent so i'm not going to change it now with time so tight. Feel free to call me all the names of the day  :-\

It's quite easy to see 3 teams finished lower than me. It's a bit of a joke to count the week 16 and 17 games, I barely put a team in those weeks. I've never been relegated from the top division and my record shows I finished 8th a few times.

Yeah 8th here and this is what i've been using to be honest

It's quite easy to see 3 teams finished lower than me. It's a bit of a joke to count the week 16 and 17 games, I barely put a team in those weeks. I've never been relegated from the top division and my record shows I finished 8th a few times.
Which 3 teams? If i'm one of them I can't be relegated and if not you should probably be relegated anyway as part of a bottom 4 but i'd rather not change things at this late stage as I say.


5. Oakleaf Dolphins       8-7-0
6. Oraisteach's Browns     7-8-0
7. Coolera Bears              6-9-0 / 1995.78

I'm not.

It is an extra email needing accepted for the 'B' now though. My only concern is getting the leagues filled and drafts done at this stage. If i was doing it right you'd be relegated as part of a bottom 4, but staying in the top division seems to mean a lot to you so i'll leave it at 3.

GalwayBay Tribesmen you will get an email removing from A and an invite to the B
David McKeown you still need to accept invite.

I appreciate you doing it consistently with previous years. Thanks you. And you'll note if you go back on the thread I did query this towards the end of last season so when I finished out of the bottom 3 I was happy to be safe for another year (as I knew you were in the top 4 in B and couldn't promote yourself.

Hey, I don't particularly care what division I'm in but I was ranked 6th at the end of last year's regular season. It's there in black and white on screen, 6th. I played 7th in the consolation play offs. Why I'm 6th and not 7th I don't know. Presumably those are decided by the league settings from before the season starts. Just saying as getting relegated from 6th with 4 teams below 6th would be fairly unusual I imagine. Granted one is commish.

Not that there is much time to argue over this stuff as drafts need to be done before Thursday night.

I've looked at it a lot since the initial complaint. You weren't 6th at the end of the regular season. You faced me (highest ranked in our playoff bracket) as you were the lowest ranked. You can see this in the win/loss record. You show as moved up to 6th only as you beat me in the playoffs but your regular season record was worse than mine and Oraisteach, the same record as magpie seanie with an inferior score.

Good man, if you could accept that invite as soon as possible i'd appreciate it so I can finalize the teams and set a time for the draft. Likewise with magpie seanie and David McKeown , think that's all we're waiting for. If anyone doesn't have an email please let me know. The sooner I can get teams finalized the better.

What time suits everyone? I can have the A+B running simultaneously, I don't mind.

'A' league teams finalized and draft tentatively set for 7pm on Wednesday evening.

The first game is on Thursday evening (US time) so we will need to have the B draft by then

Fine by me.

By the way there are 11 in the B. Is there going to be 12 in it or is someone still left to move up?

Plan is to be 10. Hopefully if David joins in time we can remove the two teams who haven't responded. If not we'll have to include one. I temporarily made it to 12 just until we're sorted.

I will not be able to attend the draft here in the states as I have work.
Hopefully the auto-draft system will go quickly, if it doesn't I apologize in advance.

Drafts ran off fairly smoothly last night. Most were able to make it so thanks, especially on the short turnaround.
'A' draft must have been the quickest i've been involved in on here, finishing up in about an hour.
'B' took a little longer but think there was maybe only one on auto-draft.
Not massively happy with either draft myself but we'll see how it goes

I've had Cs and Ds as report cards in the past and went on to contest the last 4. This year I got and A and fully expect to bomb. I wouldn't read much into those report cards.

The grades are based on their projections which you shouldn't read too much into. 1/3 draft, 1/3 in season management, 1/3 luck is a way I saw it explained before and that seems about right. In season management might be more important that the other two perhaps but it's not a million miles off.

Pretty tight in the John Madden Division, I was thinking I would end up the second highest scorer in the league but miss out on the playoffs.

It has been a tough year for the Chubby Chasers. Missed the draft so had it done automatically and was playing catch up ever since. Good luck to all in the business end of the season. Thanks for organising another great year.

Coolera Bears giving me some trimming in the 'A' final so I think we can safely call them the winners. Congrats to them!
'B' final has one team currently winning narrowly but Josh Allen and Singletary to play for the other team, so remains to be seen what will happen there.

Yeah I see Yahoo called it earlier as finished (which was why I posted earlier) but have now changed back to have me as a 94% favourite. So I have no idea what their plan is.  Obviously none of that really matters in the grand scheme of things.

Oakleaflad - I'd be as slow as anyone to tempt fate but think you're too far behind. You had a super season too. Thanks so much for running the competition....it's the first and best league I've played in since I first started in 2010. Finally my second title 10 years after my first and after losing 3 finals and two other semi finals since. I started 2-5 this season and I think at that point had 2nd highest points scored! It's a hard, hard competition to win. Very competitive so well done to all.

First off, thanks to Oakleaflad for running the league yet again, and congratulations on a fine performance.

But special applause for the Coolera Bears who, after a 2-5 start, mounted a monumental 8-match win streak, squeaked past my county mate from Lurgan, and won the championship. 🍺🍺🍺

Again it doesn't matter but the NFL have announced the game will not be played this week so I cant see it being played at all although how they are going to work out the seedings is anyone guess.

Post by: David McKeown on January 04, 2023, 01:11:30 AM
Most leagues seem to be letting the league administrator decide on one of the following.

Calling it with the scores as was when the game was postponed.

Running this week as the championship week

Accumulating points over a two week period

Using substitutes if available

Declaring a draw and sharing the positions.

So I guess it's over to you oakleaflad.

Update from Yahoo

We understand Yahoo Fantasy Football managers are awaiting news regarding the postponed Week 17 matchup between the Cincinnati Bengals and Buffalo Bills. Our main concern is Damar's health at this time. Our thoughts are with Damar, his family and the Buffalo Bills. Considering these are unprecedented circumstances, we wanted to provide as much clarity as we can while awaiting the NFL's final decision on the game.

Here's what you need to know if you are competing in a season-long fantasy league with active playoffs:

    Week 17 standings will update for now, but scoring updates will be applied once a decision regarding the Bills-Bengals game status is made by the NFL. Waivers will be processed as normal for leagues playing in week 18.
    Yahoo will be honoring the official NFL Gamebook for Week 17 by updating the stats and fantasy scores in our game to match the official record.
    If official NFL scoring changes impact the result of your Week 17 matchup, we will retroactively adjust Week 18 matchups to reflect the change.
    Payouts for Private and Public Prize Leagues will not be processed until a final decision is made by the NFL on the Bills-Bengals game status.
    League commissioners have the choice to make manual changes through their commissioner tools but we encourage commissioners to wait until the NFL makes a final decision on the game's status.
    If your league has any active Week 18 playoff matchups, you should set your lineup as usual.

If it assists I have no real preferred option. I got the enjoyment out of the competition and don't care about winning in the circumstances. I'd far rather lose and have Hamlin make a recovery than win and him not. My thoughts are with him. My wife's family experienced something very similar years ago when her uncle dropped dead on the pitch during an Irish league game. So I particularly hate to see things like this.

Sorry folks been extremely busy lately. Will get leagues sorted for promotion/relegation in next day or two and drafts will likely be early next week. Any of the new teams please send through an email address and I'll do my best to get you involved. If any date/time doesn't suit anyone let me know and I'll try to accommodate if possible.

Post by: oakleaflad on August 30, 2023, 03:38:17 PM
Ok I have removed teams and sent invites to those promoted/relegated.

This applied to the following teams if you could all check your emails please:

Promoted
No Al Calcio Americano Moderno 
Big Apple Orchards
Smackdown Clowns
Savage Bears

Relegated
Antrim89   
Troy PolaMayo
Crossmaglen Hitmen   
Ushane's Bolts   

If anyone wants an invite sent to an alternative email address just message that through to me. A Draft has been tentatively scheduled for Monday at 7.30pm. B Draft tentatively scheduled for Tuesday at 7.30pm.

Contemplating putting the A draft back until Wednesday as we've only 8/10 teams joined. If this doesn't suit anyone please let me know but we're running out of days.

B draft currently at 9/10 so hopefully should be filled in time.

Again please check above to see if you are one of the promoted/relegated teams.

If he doesn't want to play this year does anyone want to join in his place? Absolute worst case scenario we will have to have an auto-drafted team in the league.

5 games left - even the 3-7s have a chance of sneaking a 4th if they go on a run.

Quote from: lurganblue on November 14, 2023, 09:01:01 AMSomehow I have scraped to a winning record of 6-4 and sitting 2nd in the league.  Coolera Bears look unstoppable though.

Tyreek the freak is carrying my team.  The high pick of Mahomes has not be justified.

I cried that victory out. A slight narrowing of the gap.

Fantasy can be so frustrating sometimes with weekly matchups playing a huge part. My Clowns have had a fair share of luck with matchups this season, ive picked up a few wins with a less than average score i feel.

I know its off topic but 3 seasons ago in my fantasy baseball i was my leagues top scorer by a country mile but held a record of 0-10. For 10 straight weeks i ran into the weeks top scorer, even the zombie team where the owner drafted and abandoned the team had an amazing week against me!!

Do any of you follow the stat tracker on a Sunday night?

It can be so misleading if you take it at face value. I've seen myself at 98% chance of winning, and losing.

So, with the Rossies also winning, it's Connacht all the way. Well done, and thank you, Oakleaf, for running the show.
