    I think we’ll see the Titans try to pass more, but I don’t see Tannehill having a total of 40 tds , I think this team takes a step back this season and simply won’t be as efficient moving the ball. 

    Tannehill is still a low qb1 a very good double digit round draft pick.  

    Tannehill had 40 combined passing + rushing TDs last year with AJ Brown not being particularly healthy. I think he could do it again.

    Play against the league average week 14 or week 1.

    We decided on this, for week 1. Kind of looking forward to it, makes every player relevant to your team for the kick off to the season. Thanks nobes!

    Add a 15th team, duh.  Everything else remains the same; 14 week round robin, 8 team playoff in weeks 15-17.

    Not an option because it's a dynasty league.

    I would not have been keen on having to find another owner anyway.

    This may take some time to set the schedule, but, you could do bye weeks in your fantasy league.

    Seriously, if you add a bye week to each team. Have two team on bye each week for something like weeks 3-10, or something like that, it would push the season to week 14, and you could still keep the 13 game round robin format.

    Do not want. We would end up with some teams having byes when none of their players are on a bye, and other teams having byes with lots of their players are on a bye.

    The difference is that one is a balanced/fair schedule and the other in an unbalance/unfair schedule.  Being 6-6 and playing an 11-1 team for the first and only time, in Week 13 is just timing.  Being 7-6 and playing a 12-1 team for the second time when no one else has too, in unbalanced.

    Correct. This is precisely why we were looking for a better solution, even if it's a more complicated one.


  6. I'm using myfantasyleague.com.  Turns out they have some useful options that I didn't know about in Weekly Schedule Setup (can assign any matchup including assigning any individual team a bye or a matchup against the weekly average) and Adjust Standings (so I could manually change the W/L result to be based on top half of scores of the week instead of weekly average).

    Yeah, there's no real perfect way of doing it. Just an idea.

    They sound like league that's been together for a while, so if they adopted this new format, I'm guessing it would be for several seasons, so hopefully any sort of discrepancy like that would even out over several seasons. Of course the process can be fine tuned over time as well.

    If teams know their schedule before they draft, I don't see it being an issue so much, they can draft accordingly. Or have a specific format, just like with the draft. Picks 1 and 2 get the first bye weeks, 3 and 4 the week after that and so forth.

    That's what it takes though, being able to adapt to all the different crazy situations that may come your way. Just another wrinkle. The skilled will find ways to use it to their advantage, the lesser skilled won't.

    For what it's worth, it's a dynasty league, so drafting according to bye weeks isn't realistic.

    I may have to petition the site to support something like you and nobody were talking about (top 7 teams in week 1 get a W).


  8. Fellow fantasy football afficionados, I come seeking fantasy scheduling advice.

    As most of you have probably noticed, now that the NFL has added an extra game to the regular season, they have also, in their infinite wisdom, scheduled 4 teams to have their bye in week 14.

    That's a problem for my league because we have 14 teams and have always played a 13 game round-robin regular season (an aspect we quite enjoy), followed by an 8 team playoff.

    Obviously, having teams playing playoff games with potentially key players on a bye week is not desirable.

    So far we haven't come up with any ideas to deal with this that we really like.  Some ideas we've considered, roughly in order that we like them best so far, to least: A. Have week 14 be play-in games between the 7-10 seeds, and the 1-6 seeds get a bye.  B. Skip week 1 and play the 13 regular season games between weeks 2 and 14 (not sure if this is even possible on our site).  C. Have week 14 (or week 1) not have any head-to-head matchups, but have the games count toward the points scored tiebreaker.  (Again, not sure if this is possible.)  D. Manually schedule week 14 for head to head regular season games between teams with adjacent records, e.g. 7 seed vs 8 seed, 9 seed vs 10 seed, etc...

    Any other bright ideas?

    Raiders. 

    Wanted them to get him but he has never been a few agent. Was weird that the Browns signed Hyde and drafted Chubb and then extended Johnson all in the same offseason. At his current age though I would much rather they draft a RB in round 3 or 4.


  10. There was a long article in The Athletic about the rift between Wilson. Much of it had to do with Wilson coming to Carroll with a plan about how to fix the offense when they were struggling midseason, and getting rejected. Which is important because the relationship between Wilson and the players had already deteriorated since the Super Bowl loss over Carroll's special treatment of Wilson. So the coach/QB relationship seemed to be the only thing holding both to the Seahawks. The OL comments are just a result of the tension, not the cause of it.

    Let's just say that Derrick Henry was the most valuable player in the NFL, and that Rodgers won the MVP award.

    Henry won Offensive Player of the Year, which is the way these things typically go.


  12. In my guillotine league I made it to the final week, week 16, so it had gone from a 17-team league to a 2-team league at that point. I blew most of my blind bid dollars early in the season so my opponent had a truly stacked roster even for a 2-team league. My team was comparatively weak but I had managed to outscore him in week 15 for the first time in well over a month with good free agent pickups that had good matchups. (Marvin Jones 27 points, Brandon Aiyuk 22 points, Ryan Tannehill 43 points.)

    My worst move was in week 16 I went to the FA well too many times, and out-thought myself trying to cut players I wasn't sure I wanted to start so I would have flexibility as the week went on. Remember there games at 4 different times Friday and Saturday. First was Vikings/Saints, I strongly considered picking up Irv Smith (26 points), but didn't, I also cut Adam Thielen (23 points). Next was Bucs/Lions. I cut Mike Evans and started Marvin Jones again. (-40 points), partly because I decided to start Leonard Fournette (15 points) and didn't want two non-QB Tampa players, but despite my confidence in Tampa's offense I didn't pick up Brady (34 points, 14 more than my other QB starters).  Then 49ers/Cardinals, I'd been rolling with Kenyan Drake, but cut him, he only scored 13 but better than what I ended up with. Then Dolphins/Raiders, I really felt like Gaskin (38 points) could thrash the Raiders defense but didn't pick him up in part because he was coming off injury and in part because, not having started Irv Smith, I'd decided to roll with Mike Gesicki (11 points) and I didn't want two Dolphins.

    Then on Sunday because I was down by so much (opponent had Kamara, among other things), I decided to start Sammy Watkins and hope for one of his miracle big games since I had Mahomes and my opponent had Kelce and Hill. Of course Kelce and Hill got all the action that day, Watkins barely managed 4 points.

    So that whole weekend was one long string of bad decisions. Lost by 99 points to a team I had outscored the week before.

    The weather has been nuts the last week. Cold everywhere. It’s been below zero here for over a week now. It’s suppose to be up to the 30’s by the weekend and it’s going to feel like late spring. There will be people out in shorts and a t-shirt enjoying the warmer weather. 

    Was -20 for days at my folks' place in Montana
