    After the person who won our 12-team league the past two years got eliminated just before this year’s playoffs, he dropped five of his top players, including Derrick Henry, making them free agents available to anyone based on waiver order.  Our commissioner was disappointed that he did this, but said he was powerless to prevent it because we have no specific rule spelled out prohibiting this particular scenario.

    Do you agree?  Can a commissioner only enforce rules that have been spelled out in detail in advance, or does his responsibility to protect the fairness and integrity of the league allow him to use his judgment to act on unanticipated events, and if so, should he have allowed this?

         I completely agree that mental health comes first and that he should do what’s best for his health.  But if he’s going to “step away from football,” at least put him on IR so FF owners (I have him on two teams) aren’t screwed.

    But yes, Montgomery sucks.  There's a whole thread of me educating the board on that fact last year.

         Prediction fail.  He got me 18.7 pts Sunday.  Yahoo:

    David Montgomery rushed 16 times for 82 yards and caught all three of his targets for 45 yards and one touchdown in the Bears' Week 2 win over the Giants... Montgomery led the team in both rushing and receiving as the centerpiece of the offense...

    I gotta sit two of these guys this week.

     

    Jamaal Williams @Cle

    Jimmy Graham @Jax

    Marqise Lee vs. Sea

    Jack Doyle @Buf

    Josh Gordon vs. GB

     

    I’m leaning toward sitting Williams (only because he’ll be splitting carries with Aaron Jones). Graham has been scoring nearly every week but he’s facing the tough Jags defense. Lee is the Jags’ top receiver and the Seahawks are weak against the pass. Doyle leads the Colts in targets, and he’s facing a team that givs up lots of yards to TEs. I kept Gordon on the bench last week but he’s looking good, and the Packers give up third-most points to WRs.

     

    A case could be made for any of these guys. Which two would you sit?

    Memo to self: never again be suckered by FFToday's habitual overvaluing of Ryan Matthews. I followed the Draft Buddy's advice and took him in both of my leagues and am screwed for it.

     

     

    its a long year, if you are playing PPR he will finish top 10 RB's dont worry

     

     

    How's that prediction working out for you? I repeat: never again will I draft Ryan Mathews.

    I've run into another problem. When I open last year's CC (Excel 2003 format) into Excel 2010 and select a different league profile, "#N/A" appears in red in the four cells to the right of "League profile name," and when I try to copy the league settings into the current CC/DB, it fails with "Run-time error '13': Type mismatch." I've double checked the filename and know it's correct. So I've only been able to copy over the settings for 1 of my 3 leagues.

    Thanks, Mike. When I click on Copy League Settings with both worksheets open, Compatibility Checker pops up and complains about a bunch of things, but I think the complaints are on behalf of the older worksheet. If I ignore its protestations and click Continue, the rules & scoring copy successfully.

     

    I see the note that says CC/DB will only copy the active league settings from the 2010 Compiler. I guess that's why you give the tip to keep a separate CC/DB file for each league. I'm in multiple leagues, and in past years, I've been able to copy their settings in a single step and administer all leagues from a single CC worksheet. The new method will be a little less convenient, since it requires maintaining multiple worksheets and updating their projections separately (if I'm understanding it right).

    Hi -- I have the Excel 2010 version of CC/DB. Last year I had the Excel 2003 version. In order to import my old league settings, is there anything else I need to do besides change the entry for the old filename to end in .xls rather than .xlsm? I tried, that, but I'm getting errors. Or do I need to keep using the .xls version in order to import league settings from my old CC?

    Mike, I've got a similar issue -- I want to import some projections for which the players are in the LastName, FirstName format (e.g., Johnson, Chris). Is there a formula that could be substituted for the one you describe above that would do this conversion?
