i am happily mistaken. at this point, the dude is a must start.

i got sjax, glad rodgers was picked up before snelling...picked'em up...snelling is gettin lots of love, definitely rather have him ppr or not, although i'm going with charles and bernard this week.

dal d has some good momentum right now...ryans probably rb2 at best, no?

alex and donny are becoming a reliable connection and jamaal is running pretty good right now. bowe as a distraction has to be nice...but im sure he's still quite the talent...i picked up avery...i dunno, i wouldnt be surprised to see avery with better numbers fit for ppr.

depends..right? say you had Den D and DJax?....i would.

picked up gonzo...was lucky enough to pick up my probable keeper in the 15th with Cameron. I started cameron for the first time last week. realizing that gonzo is better than most but on the downside of his career and on the verge of retirement, he isnt a TE1 every week anymore... especially since atl has lots of offensive weapons.

I would If I didn't go fock myself last week. So...no..nothing to see here. Yes..I'm bitter

I'd like to go Fock myself for thinking that Charles/Cruz/D. Alexander could muster 4 more points between them. Another fock-me for sitting the TEN D in favor of the Jets at the last minute. Fock me for thinking that D. Wilson was going to outscore DeAngelo. What the fock, man. Now I get to play for the coveted 3rd place loser.

The Couch.

It appears Mendy is out again and Redman is now limited. I've plugged in Dwyer as my RB2...over Turner. I'm pretty sure Ben is gonna dismantle the WAS secondary as that will open things up for the run game...giving Dwyer a chance at possible 80/1 game. Maybe a catch good for 10-15 yds. WAS has faced maybe two notable backs in AD and Bradshaw, but most teams aren't running more than 20-25 plays a game...I suspect that is because their secondary is so awful. ATL is gonna need the run to establish the pass against a decent Philly defense. I see about 15+ touches but don't think he'll break away for many yards. I say 75/1. I'm inclined to play Turner instead, I just really don't like his matchup. I picked up Andre Brown so that in the unlikely event Bradshaw doesn't play, I'm puttin' him in. Who is starting Dwyer against a WAS D that is yet to allow a rusher hit the century mark?

This wouldn't be the case if Mendy could hold on to the ball. They may all be fumbling, but I have to say, though, fumbles or not...Dwyer does seem to be the better ball carrier right now.

We play H2H with no divisions and every once in a while we end up with a similar situation...but at that point, we go points forward.

We don't have a traditional "waiver" system. It's first come first serve....oddly enough it works and everyone approves. Trade deadline has come and passed. The issue is that someone has dibs on a guy I want. The same dude also tried to claim someone currently on my team. I told him if he doesn't pick up the guy he claimed dibs on, I'll drop the guy he wants. It feels like a sneaky way to make a trade via the ww and leaving everyone else out of the picture without the chance to grab either of these guys. Any thoughts?

Ohh the humanity! Yes, much like the ability to do away with your waiver request should you change your mind before waivers begin to clear in any "normal" process. I suppose it's an unwritten rule that once someone puts in a claim, its considered a done deal.

Ex: Thursday night game has started. Add/drops for the players on teams playing are locked and cannot be added or dropped. If I want someone on either of those teams, I have to post on the league message board I want to pick up so-in-so. Messages are timestamped. The day following the last game of the week played, the commish processes the add/drops accordingly. The rest us can make the add/drops ourselves, but usually it will go thru the commish. We use CBS Sports.

Kudos.

We really haven't had any problems with the process. The original post was about me using collusion to attain a guy already claimed via the board. I noticed he wanted someone I had and I wanted someone he claimed. If the trade deadline hadn't passed, there wouldn't be an issue. That being said...considering the players involved, it wouldn't make or break either of our seasons.

Ha. Fortunately we haven't had that problem. I gotta tell ya...if you're worried about a team that is full of waivered additions then I see two issues. 1, your draft sucked...and 2, your team is in worse shape than the waiver hawks team.

Wow. Sometimes owners blindly try to claim guys that are already on team. It happens as most people don't know follow everyone else's roster. If a guy is already on someones team, they wont be able to add them later. No harm no foul. I'm not sure how "poaching" is relevant...or even correlated, for that matter. As far as the "horrible" waiver system is concerned...again....as a league we voted on it and there aren't any complaints. Is it fair to everyone?...if you consider your Sunday schedule...maybe not...but it certainly hasn't swayed anyone from playing year after year. Obviously, this league isn't for everyone and forces owners to pay more attention around the league than usual. Rules are clearly understood upon playing for the one spot open every few years or so. Turnover rates as owners are very small. If I remember correctly, there are still 8 of us original owners since the league inception 19 years ago. Don't like the rules...don't play with us and play somewhere else when the rules are more tailored to your wants. Simple as that.

I had to call it off...I couldn't, in good conscience, go beyond the suggestion.

FA pick-ups are locked until the following day of the last game of the week. We make posts on the message board to make claims. Transactions are usually completed by Wednesday.

"Crappy" is relative. Our waiver system was unanimously voted in. A traditional waiver system would have awarded me the the guy I want in the first place, but I'm not bitter about it. Win some lose some. This system tends to keep everyone involved and competitive. This league is among friends only...next year will be the twenty-year anniversary of the league and we've been very careful about cheaters and those who give up on the season. The other dude said he'll wait until Wed to consider it. Considering the nature of the transaction, though, I don't think I can go thru with it even if he does accept.

Hm...now i feel like a d1ck.

Team #2 owner is either a shmuck that shouldn't be playing in any serious, competitive ff leagues...or is in cahoots with team #1. Your league needs to veto that shhh. It looks like it may be time for you to find a better league next season.

Agreed. Unfortunately, between Turner, Redman, Dwyer and Mendy...it looks like the ladder is the best numbah 2 guy I've got.
