Don't have Williams. Someone had seniority on the waiver wire when Rashad went down earlier in the season.TBone14;1682730 wrote:No. Do you have Williams? That is obviously the ideal scenario.
Had Romo and Marshall going last night. Marshall was on his way to a nice night before he broke his ribs and got his lungs and spleen damaged. As Kurtis Blow would say, "That's the breaks."
I trust Blount more than I trust tate with an overrated QB.ZWICK 4 PREZ;1683387 wrote:Blount or Golden Tate in the flex?
standard scoring.
Every time I played Peyton in any league this year...he was tossing 3 and 4 yard TD passes left and right. The guy I played yesterday had CJ Anderson and Peyton decided to be a team player and give him a career day.O-Trap;1684093 wrote:Thanks to Peyton Manning's sudden gun-shyness, I will be 1-2 in the first round of the playoffs, despite being favored in both.
Wait in the playoffs... the lower seed starts out with -15 points? That might be the dumbest fantasy thing I've ever heard.justincredible;1684468 wrote:Won my first playoff game by 24 even with a 15 point home field disadvantage for being the lower seed.
Playoffs haven't started in my other league but I did win big. Even with scoring only 13 total points from the WR2, TE, FLEX, K, and DEF I put up 125 and won by over 40 points. Wilson, Bell, and Green carried my ass. I also benched CJ Anderson at the last second to start Josh Gordon in my FLEX spot. Derp.
Why wouldn't the 7 seed start out with a disadvantage vs the 2 seed?Iliketurtles;1684573 wrote:Wait in the playoffs... the lower seed starts out with -15 points? That might be the dumbest fantasy thing I've ever heard.
Why should he? I mean the highest seed in the NFL doesn't start out with an advantage over a lower seeed.justincredible;1684583 wrote:Why wouldn't the 7 seed start out with a disadvantage vs the 2 seed?
Higher seeds in the NFL play at home though so there's the advantage, it's just not on the scoreboard(directly anyway).Iliketurtles;1684599 wrote:Why should he? I mean the highest seed in the NFL doesn't start out with an advantage over a lower seeed.
I mean what does the #1 seed get 20 points over the 8 seed? #3 get 10 points over the 6 seed? #4 get 5 points over the 5 seed?
I guess it's an interesting way to reward someone for doing well in the regular season I just find it extremely dumb.
8 team league and every team makes the playoffs. It was just implemented this year because the last two years the same guy won the league as a #7 and then #8 seed. We faced each other in the finals last year as the #7 and #8 seeds. I think this was a way to let everyone still make the playoffs (small league) but actually give the top 4 teams an advantage.TBone14;1684596 wrote:I've never heard of that. Crazy. I don't like it. 15 points a lot...no matter what the format. The 2 seed has an advantage, his team is better.
How many teams are in the league and how many make the playoffs? You were a 7 so I am assuming at least 8 made it. In all of my leagues, there are 12 teams and the top 2 get a bye and 6 make it.
So I guess that is a bigger advantage for a 2 seed than getting spotted 15 points vs the 7. Now, does the 4 seed get 15 points over the 5?
It's 15 across the board for the top 4. There is also no money involved in this league so it doesn't really matter.Terry_Tate;1684648 wrote:Higher seeds in the NFL play at home though so there's the advantage, it's just not on the scoreboard(directly anyway).
15 points is insane, but I think it's reasonable that if teams from the bottom half of the league make it the top 2 teams should have some sort of advantage for having a better regular season. In every league I'm in the 7th place team is out anyway. I am interested to know how it works for the other top 4 teams though. Maybe 20-15-10-5? That is a crazy high amount though.
So basically your league wants the best teams in the regular season to win the playoffs?justincredible;1684678 wrote:8 team league and every team makes the playoffs.

I suppose it wants the best teams in the regular season to have an advantage in the playoffs. Like I said, it's not a money league so it really doesn't matter.SportsAndLady;1684686 wrote:So basically your league wants the best teams in the regular season to win the playoffs?
Excluding teams from the playoffs accomplishes the same thingSportsAndLady;1684686 wrote:So basically your league wants the best teams in the regular season to win the playoffs?
