Most are still about the RB. Also it really isn't a bad team, a ton of playmakers on it including the two best WR in the NFL. Johnson/Green could beat teams alone, Spiller/Bush are dynamic, Witten is one of the best TE in the NFL, and then I can go Jackson/Colston/Wallace on the Flex. Throw in Rivers and that's a good team

I am up a ton 181-92, going into tonight's games. I have Michael Floyd and he has Matt Stafford.

To give an idea of how that 90 pt lead isn't the same as in a standard league. Matt Ryan scored 67 pts for me yesterday and AJ Green scored 51.

Either way Stafford would have to throw for not only a billion yards but his TDs would have to be all long ones to get bonus points (for instance, Matt Ryan's 54 yard TD pass was worth 11 pts instead of 3, and AJ Green's 77 yarder was worth 22 pts instead of 6).

On top of all that though I do have Floyd going tonight.

To give an idea, average score in our league is 149 pts (last season). A very bad week is below 100, an amazing week is above 200.

Same exact scoring system, when I first started in the league about 10 years ago the average scoring was 120 pts...the NFL offenses have been scoring much more obviously.

PPR scoring or standard?

If it was PPR you'd have some point with Spiller/Bush, standard league you just don't sound very smart.

I am a Cowboys fan. Witten is one of the best TE's in the NFL yes, but he is no longer one of the best for fantasy. As for me I'm not a fan of any of your RBs that's mostly why I hate your team. Don't like DJax this year. Also don't like you drafting Romo after you already had Rivers could have gotten a better RB with that pick and gotten another QB later. Just not a fan of taking 2 QBs who are basically around the same value. But hey it could all work out for you thats fantasy football.

He was a 12th round pick and yeah I don't know what to do with Witten because Olson played really well yesterday

Went 1-for-3 this week, losing to my CEO, who started Stepfan Taylor. I was down 95.36 to 99.48. I still had Michael Floyd, and he was starting Taylor, so I felt good going into the late game.

And then Taylor got a TD and a few receiving yards, which was enough to beat me by 0.62 points.

SHIVAKAMINI SOMAKANDAKRAM!!!!!

It's not my primary league, but still.

In another league, I've got a bit of a choice for this next week:

Half PPR League. The rest is standard Yahoo! scoring.

1. I don't know at what percentage of health Crabtree becomes a clear starter, but based on this past week, I'm not sure if we're there yet.

2. Boldin looked like a target-magnet, and he still looks strong with the ball given how old he is.

3. Cooks worries me in a spread-the-wealth offense, but they did seem to look for ways to get him the ball.

I only have one spot available. Anyone care to weigh in?

I've had a few issues with yahoo this year and I don't know what to do. Is there an email I can send a message to letting them know of my problems?

First, I uploaded draft trades from last year when setting this season up, but when we actually drafted the moves weren't uploaded. That obviously pissed off a lot of people.

Now my waiver order is all fucked up. The guy who drafted 4th is #11 on the waiver wire order and hasn't made a move yet this year. No clue why he would be 11th? I checked settings and everything is normally how it is.

I've never had a problem with yahoo in 5 years. But they may lose us to espn.

I've been doing Yahoo! for 10+ years and never really had an issue that I hadn't later discovered was my fault. Waiver order should be able to be edited prior to your season. Not sure about trades in football, but I'm in a baseball league that trades picks and have never had an issue with those.

I just assign draft position and the waiver automatically assigns waiver order based on that. Like I said, same thing I do every year. I'm looking at the settings now and it's perfectly fine. Not sure why it got scrambled.

CBSSports.com, have been using it for nearly 15 years and we've never had a problem. It is the best site out there for fantasy football leagues.

Of course that comes at a cost as it is not free.

Not sure if there are tiers for what you want out of a league, live scoring, draft, resources, etc. Ours is $150.

Yeah just basic I guess. I was reading up on that, it called the gold package right?

Do they give the winner of your league money? Lol I didn't understand that part

My brother drafted Ray Rice, and is now in need of running backs. I thought about helping him out (and myself as well). I'm going to offer Andrew Luck and Chris Ivory for Drew Brees and Golden Tate. What say you before I send the proposal?

He could get more for Brees, but if he takes it, good win for you.

That seems pretty lopsided, personally. Brees>Luck, and Tate>Ivory

No they do not. At least not in the package we do. We just split the money and add it into our league fees that do go to the winner(s). Our league fees are $50 and with the website that makes it $65.
