    12 teams: 1 division, 8 teams make the playoffs, 1 through 6 in on record, 7 and 8 on total points.

     

    We get paid for 1st, 2nd, 3rd regular season record so no bye weeks for 1st and 2nd in first round. Payout for 1st regular season record plus winning the championship ends up being around 1500 or so.

     

    We also pay $50 per week for high score, -$5 for low score. This way people stay engaged.

     

    We found 2 divisions always rewarded some crap teams. This way you can still reward lucky teams who got a good record but high scoring teams don't get screwed either.

     

    Literally has been zero complaints since we went to this system.

    Well, it's standard practice at Yahoo which runs in the neighborhood of several hundred thousand leagues.. So if you're targeting a guy you want in your lineup on Sunday, you should be shopping your offers on Tuesday or Wednesday.

     

    Edit: The 2-3 day delay allows other league members to vote against a trade if enough of them feel it's suspicious or unfair.

     

    League votes, dumb also.

    Yahoo processes trades at the same time as it processes waiver claims, which means you'll see odd times like 3:42 AM or 5:00 AM used as the time stamp for a trade. The result is that a reasonable amount of time is allowed for the parties to a trade to note any holes in their lineup that may have been created by the swap and make adjustments. Manually triggering a trade 15 minutes before kickoff is poor practice that invites headaches that a commissioner will wish he didn't have to spend time unraveling and resolving.

     

    Why would you want trades on a damn schedule? I offer, guy accepts, it goes through immediately. I don't have time to wait for a trade window. What if you need to make moves based on the trade, you have to sit around waiting? That is dumb.

    Who does this stuff by email anymore?

     

    If this was electronic, I'd have no problem with this move. It's actually smart and devious.

     

    But since this is basically pen and paper, very shady and bad move by the commish and other guy. I don't think you need to say, "The trade is off the table." The other guy would need to contact the guy that offered it and say, "I accept." Then it would move forward. You don't get offered a trade and then go straight to the commish. You tell the guy that offered it, I accept, then go to the commish. Bush league move.

     

    Logic would dictate:

    1. Offered made from team a to team b.

    2. Team b replies to team a that he accepts.

    3. Team a would go to commish to complete trade.

     

    This loser side stepped step 2.

     

    If this was electronic, there is no step #2 needed and it's a great move. i had a guy in my league offer Rivers a couple years back, never retracted it. My RB he wanted went down, I accepted the trade. He laughed about it, he knew it was his fault for not retracting it on the site.

    Double Trouble

    Arian Foster, who holds the Texans' franchise record with 6,472 yards rushing, was a true threat both running and receiving, averaging 110.9 scrimmage yards per game in his NFL career:

    Gurley.

     

    He's not hurt, he's getting touches, you have to play him and you spent a top 5 pick on him. Team killer.

     

    I've seen/owned too many one hit wonder WR's to have wanted to touch Robinson. Not saying I'm right but I like WR's with a history.

     

    Braylon Edwards, Rob Moore, LLoyd, Garcon, etc.

    Denver's run D stinks (24th in yards per game, second to last in TD's allowed). Chargers literally have no one behind him. Plus he's not a big name, no one will give you value you for him.

     

    I see no value in moving him for pennies on the dollar.

    It's working for me so far (first time I've tried it.)

     

    Been rotating Tyrod and Flacco for between 10-20 points a week (low scoring pt system), just playing the matchups or gut call. Dumped Flacco now, grabbed Hoyer.

     

    4-1 with second most points and Jordan Reed has only had one good week so I haven't peaked I would hope.

     

    I've spent a lot in the past to grab an elite QB and been burned. This is kind of fun.

    It's probably now more than ever a huge advantage getting one of the workhorses (johnson, elliott, bell, probably still Gurley) as the rest are crap shoots. Still better to grab a top flight WR than going RB/RB with the likes of an Ingram/Lacy pairing as an example off the top of my head. I like that WR's are productive enough across the board that you can go WR and not have to go RB. More than one way to skin a cat in today's fantasy landscape.

    I'm guessing most David Johnson owners are amongst their league leaders. Total stud.

     

    3-1, Dave and Melvin leading the charge, most points scored, second most points against so I'm weathering some big weeks from opponents.

     

    In the era of the WR, having a solid/exceptional RB/RB tandem is a huge advantage. Waiver wire WR's can keep up with second tier WR's practically.

    Only horse in town getting around 25 touches a game and a goal line back. No one is going to pay the price I want. Plus i doubt many Melvin owners have a decent enough 3rd back to replace him. I sometimes think some of you discuss this stuff in a vacuum, not taking into account real rosters.

     

    Ride it out.
