OrangeSoda 2 Posted November 4, 2013 I am beginning to hate fantasy football .... I literally have a top 18 player at every starting position and i am somehow only 3-6 and last place in my division! Can some one please explain how this happens. heres my team... QB - A. Luck - ranked #10 RB - L. McCoy - Ranked # 3 (and leads league in rushing yards - #2 in total yards) RB- G. Bernard - Ranked #9 WR- Dez Bryant - Ranked #3 WR- B. Marshall Ranked #6 WR- Flipped between J. Gordon / Blackmon - until Blackmon suspension - Gordon was ranked #15 and Blackmon #18 TE - Have both Julius Thomas and J Cameron - Ranked #2&3 K - we dont start Kickers Def - Cowboys - Ranked #3 I am at a complete Loss! Any reasoning you can think of why? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Squintz82 45 Posted November 4, 2013 Tough to say, but I would think that your opponents outscored you 6 times this season. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Superdude 4 Posted November 4, 2013 I know why your 3-6. Happens in every league thats 6pts per TD. You need a top 5 QB. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Stewburtx8 67 Posted November 4, 2013 It seems like you have a lot of boom or bust type players. Your team lacks consistency. You have several guys who have blown up a few times but then have also put several clunkers or average games. Total points scored isn't always the best determination of how good a player is for fantasy purposes. Luck is a back end QB1. Shady McCoy has been pretty average the last few weeks. Bernard has been hit or miss most weeks. Dez Bryant has had 4 games (out of 9) with less than 10 fantasy points in non-PPR leagues. Brandon Marshall started out real hot the first 2 weeks and has cooled down some since. You didn't have Gordon or Blackmon the first few weeks, and they've each put up some bad games the last few weeks. Jordan Cameron had 1 catch this week.

Serpent 51 Posted November 5, 2013 I know why your 3-6. Happens in every league thats 6pts per TD. You need a top 5 QB. He didn't say the scoring system or number of teams, but that could be it. Although even if not, maybe his players just kept having bad weeks at the wrong times. I think Gio, Dez and Marshall all have had a lot of bad weeks, and the Dallas D I don't know has been that good every week either. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Buttmonkey 8 Posted November 5, 2013 You won three games with that mess? Geez - consider yourself lucky. QB scoring is where it's at - you don't have it. Put Brees or Manning on that team and you're probably undefeated. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

justforbeer 39 Posted November 7, 2013 Well. You have a #10 ranked qb and it shows. Luck stinks and last weekend you were fortunate. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
veebs4 2 Posted November 7, 2013 I have the least total points in my league, drafted Spiller, Richardson, Ridley, and Cobb. Right now, that dreck is 2nd overall at 5-3-1. Pure f-ing luck in matchups. I am sure there are people in that league that are cursing me every week. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
madd futher mucker 36 Posted November 7, 2013 If you can't figure out why you are 3 - 6 with that team, how the hell can we? Lack of depth? Poor weekly roster management? You never mentioned your other players, your positional starting line-up requirements or anything like that. You present perhaps 1/2 of a present day snapshot of your team rather than what changes took place and the roster management moves you made from week to week. What you need to do for yourself is go back and break down every week's matches and find out why you lost each of those six weeks - other than that your opponent scored more points than you did. If YOU can't analyze what you are or are not doing right and/or wrong, then you don't have the analytical skills to succeed at fantasy football, or a lot of other endeavors for that matter. Was this your team from the beginning? If so, it appears that you were very lucky on the injury front. What roster moves could you have made or did you make that didn't work out for you? Something just doesn't add up here, but no one but you can (or really cares to anyway) put the pieces together, and you haven't provided enough info to figure it out even if we wanted to.
