I’ve only been in one league over like gotta be 7-8 years now that did defense by players and it wasn’t good times.
I am of the opinion that the current setup is more or less acceptable. I like the flex to be W/R/T on the off chance someone has Antonio Gates and, say, Dallas Clark before they both get injured, but the way it is right now is fine by me.
Okay. As it stands now I’d make the playoffs. Just need to win or see the Dwarfs lose to clinch a spot. Here we go. Again.
I don’t know. Unless you get the Ravens or Steelers or Packers (this year, anyway), your chance at getting mucho points from your defense is slim.
With 3 or 4 defensive picks, you spread out amongst all the teams. This past weekend in the other league my defensive squad put up 25 points, as opposed to 7 by my DEF in this league.
There is a bit of a learning curve, though. My first year I couldn’t figure out who to play and against which teams. But you get the hang of it. Middle linebackers are the key.
If they offer just a few positions I could see it as a testing ground. Maybe even run two leagues, vanilla and IDP?
I know some people like PPR as another wrinkle, but I don’t do it. I get the value in that, though, improving some players, like Welver or Miami’s Davone Bess, and third-down backs as well.
What’s our cutoff on the playoffs again? Four teams?
And I rather like playing complete Ds. Trying to keep track of offensive players is tough enough.
Top four make the playoffs. There are consolation matchups for other teams in Week 15.
Weeks 15 and 16 right? That’s how it was last season.
If somebody has Gates and Clark than the draft went terribly, terribly wrong some how lol
I like this league’s setup quite a bit. The only thing might be the non-playing teams, but that happens in any league this size – people just forget about it or give up.
Excited for these playoffs.
In case you missed this on Twitter-
So HubAZ & BrettAZ played each other on Sunday in round one of their playoffs. HubAZ won. So BrettAZ released his players and HubAZ snatched them up like the Grinch who stole Christmas. I suggested that this wasn’t ethical, he ignored me. Keep in mind that he’s the lone adult in a group of high school boys.
So now his phone is buzzing off the hook because the league owner (who is a total control freak and not in the playoffs) figured it out and is having a complete hissy fit. Did I mention the kid lives next door? HubAZ thinks this is all great fun.
Too bad no one in our house cares for baseball (“Still boring!”) because we’re all hooked on fantasy now.
Um, that’s an unwritten (or maybe written) rule HubAZ broke there. I’d lock the doors and post a sentry.

B: Collusive transactions
Collusion occurs when one team makes moves to benefit another team, without trying to improve its own position. One-sided trades are an obvious example of this. Another example is when a player drop is made so another team can pick up that player. Teams found in violation of this policy will be cancelled and their owners prohibited from participating in future ESPN Fantasy Games.
D: Roster Dumping
Owners that are found to have dumped their players to the player pool in an attempt to undermine the league may be subject to expulsion from the game. If you are giving up on the season, we ask that you maintain league strength by providing the other owners with the most competitive team you are able to field.
Curse Ice Crown Floor Tank for getting Marshawn Lynch before me!!
Y’all can have him. He is not a stud.
Better not beat me this week. Don’t I play Floor Tank this week?
I think I put in a waiver claim. I think. I wonder if it worked… hey fast… favor? Can’t check at work.

Not sure how to take that given how Talyn winds up…
dawns on me
Crap! I jinxed myself from the beginning!!!
But, really. Was that for my choices or for posting the results? (:
Rodgers is out w/a concussion- I am hosed, frakked, screwed, mopped up on floor and SOL.
KAHN!!!
Really should not have droped Mal Floyd to my bench 10 minutes before gametime.
Also, Kyle Orton has been a total dog. It’s getting to the point where I’d much rather take 10-15 points from Schaub than these terrible boom or bust Broncos games.
