    14 team league, each team plays all the others.  worked out perfectly with 13 week league, 3 week playoffs.  Week 14 is now a bye week so it didn't seem fair to start the playoffs that week.  We are using week 5 (last week without a bye to start the year) as a "sprint week".  No one plays each other but we pay out the top 5 scoring teams for the week.  Entry fee goes from $50 to $55 to cover "sprint week".

    I'd hang on to Chark.  Listened to a an announcer who thought Jacksonville stands a decent chance of going 0-16.  Probably won't happen, but the point is, they aren't going to be ahead too many times in the 2nd half.  Think Bortles/A. Robinson/A. Hurns a few years ago.  Put up some good stats during garbage time in many games.  I think Bortles was a top 5 QB (fantasy) that year.  Minshew has a gunslinger mentality and Chark is by far his best receiver.

    1983 in college.  Eight team standard scoring.  Your guy could march up and down the field but if he didn't score, you got nothing.  QB's were at a premium and I got Lynn Dickey of the Packers.  I won the championship after a Packer/Redskin Monday Night game.  Dickey went crazy and Mark Mosely (my kicker) made a 47 (?) yard field goal to win it for the Redskins and for me.  This was insanely long for Mosely at the time.  All the winnings went toward buying beer for all the participants.  I'm old.

    Maybe Kittle and Mixon for a better RB than Gurley?  I would be apprehensive of having to rely on Gurley.  I actually would start with Henry/Mixon to see what I could get, then work your way up to Kittle/Mixon.

    I commission a 14 team league where I am usually at or near the top of the standings.  This year, however, I stand at 0-4 and the 2nd lowest scoring team in the league.  This is what my team looks like:

    QB     J. Allen     M. Rudolph

    RB     Zeke     D. Montgomery     D. Singletary    F. Gore     D. Thompson (KC)

    WR     Hopkins     M. Brown     DJ Moore     M. Williams     C. Beasley      A. Tate

    TE     D. Waller     C. Herndon

    Def     Houston

    Doesn't look bad for a 14-teamer.  Some guys underproducing.  What does your 0-4 look like?

    Just finished my 2nd auction draft (14 team/$10020/0.5 ppr).  Again, we don't talk much about auctions on here.  Let me know what you think.

    QB - C. Wentz ($4);  P. Rivers ($2)

    RB - Zeke ($20);  D. Montgomery ($17);  S. Michel ($8); D. Thompson ($3);  M. Davis ($1)

    WR - T. Hill ($19);  M. Williams ($7);  A. Jeffery ($6);  M. Sanu ($2);  T. Quinn ($1)

    TE - O.J. Howard ($7);  D. Waller ($2)

    Def - Houston ($1)

    **  Thompson pick doesn't look so good now with Shady on board but it was only $3.  Otherwise, I felt pretty good.  

    Will look to upgrade at WR, might use Michel as bait when/if Zeke and Jerry kiss and make up.

    Got Montgomery and Michel as my 2 and 3 RB's behind Zeke in an auction yesterday.  Does Montgomery have enough opportunity to be a borderline #1/great #2 with Cohen and Davis hanging around?  The guy doesn't go down after 1st contact (saw every game he played at ISU) and it sounds like the coaching staff loves him.  What say you?

    Don't get to see too many auction results on this board so here's mine.  14 team/0.5 ppr/$100 budget.  Start 1 QB/1 RB/3 WR/1 TE/1 Flex (non-QB)/1 Def.

    QB - B. Roethlisberger (Pit)   $3         S. Darnold (NYJ)     $1

    RB - C. Carson (Sea)   $16     D. Montgomery (Chi)   $13     T. Coleman (SF)   $7     R. Penny (Sea)   $4     M. Davis (Chi)   $1

    WR - J.J. Smith-Schuster (Pit)   $22   J. Edelman (NE)   $14     C. Ridley (Atl)   $8     D. Westbrook (Jck)   $3     T. Williams (Oak)   $1

    TE - J. Cook (NO)   $5     C. Herndon (NYJ)   $1

    Def - LA Rams   $1

    *** Let me know what you think.  Auctions are a different cat.  The flow of the auction changes so much.  Probably should have waited on Edelman and got someone like Jeffery or A. Robinson (or both).

    I love DJ (we both went to Northern Iowa) but there are certainly doubts about him.  I think he will recover to his old form under Kingsbury, but what if his vaunted offense doesn't fly in the NFL?  Hopkins is as close to a sure thing as you can get barring injury.  The old adage on fantasy football certainly holds true - you can't win the championship in the 1st round but you can definitely lose it.  Do plenty of mocks.  What RB can you get in the 2nd round?  Didn't catch what pick you were in that round.  Dalvin Cook, A. Jones, D. Williams could possibly be there.  Gordon or Gurley might even be there.  Mahomes might be there (although I never take a QB that high).  I guess would you rather have Kamara/Hopkins/Cook or Kamara/DJ/K. Allen or Hilton?

    We do our auction a bit differently than most who throw out players just to get $$ off the board. If an owner brings a player out and gets him, he gets $1 taken off his winning bid ($100 budget). No messing around, go put up the guy you want.

    14-team league I am in allows trading during the playoffs, but both teams have to be in the same bracket (winners/losers). I don't agree with it, but we all knew this before the season started. #2 seed has had Wentz at QB all year and has no other QB on his roster. He has the option of picking up a QB (Foles/Hundley/Cutler/etc.) or trading with a team in the winner's bracket (3 other teams now, as we are in the semis). One semifinalist has Keenum/Garapollo/Prescott at QB and starts a TE at flex. The offer is Prescott for Agholor. In this league Prescott is the #9 QB and Agholor is the #19 WR. This trade is causing quite an uproar in our league with owners on both sides. What are your thoughts on this?
