my rules comment was in jest (alluding back to the improper QB scoring situation). ESPN has been my main platform for a long time, so I never even gave it a second thought... especially because the mechanics were the same on Yahoo last season. I also play in leagues where IR is limited to NFL IR designated players. Just like it was determined that the wrong QB scoring had to stay for this season, I think any desire to see IR limited to the NFL IR list would need to be voted on and changed in the offseason. Personally, with the NFL being such an injury heavy league from week to week, I am in favor of the IR slots being open to any player once listed as OUT. I think it helps teams to not have to waste a bench spot for a player who is out 2-3 weeks while also keeping some talent in free agency by not expanding the bench. I've always viewed fantasy IR as more of an injured slot than matching up exactly with the real life NFL IR designation. That's just my take. I would suggest creating clear and concise voting threads around June

I still would have preferred to see him in Miami (or obviously Brooklyn) and i've never really cheered for the Bucks but now I will. Dame has been my favorite player to watch since KG retired.

what makes someone pull a post from 2015?

West looking like last years JFC division

"rarely" stop.

Your son is just as good at jinxing players as I am

In the words of the great horseman, fantasy 101 know your league rules. kidding but every espn league I’ve been in has a standard setting to allow players listed as out to be moved to IR. Our yahoo league last year was the same, I believe. we can certainly vote to adjust this for next season

Has not been a great football betting season for me. I’ve stayed alive with some DFS cashing. I grabbed UNC -2.5 when they were down 14-7. Have a monster parlay for tomorrow. I do one of those every week though. Little lottery ticket action. Then a smaller parlay with spreads and money lines. a few props that stand out to me Downs over 3.5rec (this is -180 though and his over yards I think is 45.5 which I also like) cousins over 1.5pass tds, Osborn over 3.5rec, waddle over 4.5rec at +100, Hubbard over 47.5rush yards, Foreman anytime TD, Chase anytime TD, Burrow over 1.5pass tds have not looked at the afternoon games yet

I’m just responding to your posts. No harm in thoughtful conversation. As I mentioned in an earlier post, players designated as out are eligible to be moved to IR.

i thought this was a thread about what we think goes into making a murderer. I was going to say it probably starts with posting non stop political drivel on a low rent message board and then getting triggered if anyone disagrees with you. Continuing to post topic after topic, spiraling further away from reality until one day you realize what your life has become and you go off the deep end. I feel like someone has to come to mind here

I don't want to belabor this. I'm sure it will be voted on in the offseason. Yes, in some ways it is a matter of perspective. I'm not sure a larger roster rewards the more prepared as much as it rewards those with more time (the two often go hand in hand). I could easily counter that a larger roster makes it easier to recover from poor drafting for a few reasons. 1. less need to ever entertain the thought of cutting bait on an earlier round pick who looks like a bust in the early going..... 2. the ability to take a few extra fliers and if they work out, they can cover your ass if you drafted poorly earlier on. BUT, going back to perspective, I agree that watering down the free agent pool makes it a tad harder to replace poor draft picks in that manner. I view taking fliers on late round picks as very similar to stashing. Stashing doesn't have to be hoarding handcuff RB's or picking up and stashing injured players.... It can be any player you feel good about who might take a little longer to start making an impact. As for your personal example, the weeks that Waddle and Aiyuk were out, they could have been moved to an IR spot. No need to entertain dropping them or using up a bench spot for their short term injuries . If your IR spots were already full, then you simply have decisions to make. Prospects are stashes. As I mentioned earlier, late round fliers and prospects are just as much guys you want to stash as anything else. ... Jahmyr Gibbs was a 3rd round selection. Nowhere near qualifying as a prospect. A prepared owner doesn't draft him that high unless he is willing to take on the risk that it might take some time for the rookie to really contribute.

Lamar. idk how he has been killing you lately, aside from week 5. Week 3 and 4 he put up 29+ points in normal QB scoring leagues, largely thanks to his legs.

Burrow Chase if you really must stack. although even without the stack, those are the two i'd be playing.

Mostert, Williams and Pollard.

Mostert and Walker

full PPR Waddle is a must start. Hall is playing Philly, not Pitt. I would lean toward Hall, Downs and aiyuk.

Thomas really shouldn't even be available. Please pick him up and drop Henry. Start Thomas with higbee as depth.

not to be argumentative in any way, as obviously if you guys put it to a vote and majority wants more roster spots then it is what it is... but to me a change like this falls into making the league too simple (ala extra flex spots, no HTH, the decrease in negative scoring for mistakes, etc). I think expanding the bench is just a way to placate the owners who want to stash as many players as possible. There are always going to be players on free agency that some of us wish we had room to stash (myself included). To me, this is where decision making takes over. I'd rather see owners make harder choices on who to stash and who to cut versus more roster spots to hoard everyone they want.

Correct. You cant add someone off free agency and place them directly to IR. You need to have a regular open roster spot. So you can add them, then "manage IR" and move them to an open IR spot and have that bench spot freed up again.

I am playing Osborn this week but I lost JJ. So i've got RB - J Cook RB - K Williams WR - K Allen WR - Osborn (over M. Thomas) Flex - B. Hall bench includes Thomas and Zack Moss with Dionte Johnson on IR which I will flip to JJ when Dionte returns. I've also continued to hold McKinnon hoping his pass game usage ramps up as the season goes along the way it did last year.

heh, I had Colorado to win by 14+ and total over 60. Didn't watch the end so no surprise at the outcome the way my wagering luck has been the last 2 months.

the only obvious incentive is if they have minor injuries to deal with that can be taken care of with a few extra days rest. Or if they used their top starting pitchers at the end of the season to clinch that #2 seed, for example. The extra days off can set them up to have those guys open the division series.

it all depends, i guess. But I can see where having a 5 day layoff could sap some teams momentum while the teams that keep playing and winning, like an Arizona, just feed off the energy.

with that lineup I probably wouldn't. looks solid.

edited to foreman as I had forgot Johnson was ruled out.
