RG3 is single-handedly kicking my ass.

 

I'm down 33. I have QB, DEF, and flex left. My flex is Meachem, defense is Houston. QB is either Schuab or Rivers.

 

The other guy has Andre Johnson left. So should I start Schuab or Rivers?

Sure glad RGIII played, I won by 2 points. 5-1 in my money league!

 

Too bad my talkbears team is turrable..Im rockin BJGE, LRSE, and CJS as my RBS and flex

Benched RGIII in both leagues cause of the concussion. Stafford & Big Ben held tight with him points wise until that 76-yard run. Oh well. My NCAA fantasy QB did score 71 points last night, so at least I got that going for me.

It's fun, way more high scoring, so you can get crazy weeks, like 200+ points. It isn't very mainstream though, probably because of the NCAA's "amateur" status. I play on CBS Sportsline, which is the only main site that has a platform for it, and even they have very limited analysis. ESPN & Yahoo have no analysis for it.

Damn I played Ryan over Stafford (can't believe Ryan bombed against Oakland) and it cost me (well... that and Jeremy Maclin, damn him). I also benched Witten who didn't do too bad at all. I'm down by 22, but have Floyd and Mr. unreliable Gates tonight. I hope Rivers goes nuts with those two.

Had a good week in my leagues, I played it safe with RGIII as I have the Green/Dalton combo anyways. Picked up TB for match up defense.

 

Next week Im thinking the Browns could be a good call.

What trade did you make

 

Just saw this.

 

Anyways, it was Brady Quinn and Michael Bush for Mikel Leshoure

 

The other guy already had Matt Cassel and his other QB was Brees (bye) so he needed a starter. I had 4 QBs and needed a RB with two of mine on bye. Other guy also had 6 RBs. So both of us traded from excess to get a need. Both teams would have benefited.

 

Two people responded and said they vetoed the trade because they didn't want to see our teams get better.

 

Another guy said he vetoed it because he saw that the other guy didn't have a QB if the trade didn't go through.

 

Just stupid stuff.

I need Jacob Tamme to score less than 5, so go Decker!

I wouldn't stand for that at all. Those owners need to be kicked out of your league (if that's an option) after the year is over. As long as a trade is reasonably fair (and yours seems to be), you can't veto a trade just because it makes another team better. The veto is in place to prevent collusion/cheating. Your trade seems to be neither.

That argument is as old as time.

 

I only veto if it seems to be collusion, others in my league argue that you should veto as a weapon.

 

 

Im down 4 with Phillip Rivers up to bat, so barring any insane catastrophe I should get the W this week...

I am so tired of Darren McFadden that I dealt off my depth and him for an upgrade.

 

Darren McFadden

Reggie Wayne

Doug Martin

 

for

 

Arian Foster

Ben Tate

Randall Cobb

This may be the oddest week I've ever had.

 

Going into the Sunday night game, I was down 84-24. He still had Mathews left. It was over, didn't even watch Sunday night though I had Rodgers in that game, and a few Monday night.

 

6 TDs and 40 points later, I was only down 20 going into tonight, Gates/Decker/McGahee, he has Mathews.

 

Scoring bonanza in the 1st half, and I'm going to win comfortably, probably about 25-30 points.

 

What makes it more ridiculous is he played Luck over Brady, as well as played Austin over Nelson. That's what you get for trying to be too cute with matchups.

So I bet everyone starting Phillip rivers is happy

He almost cost me the game, i was one int away from having a tie. Looks like im in the market for a qb!

Schaub and Rivers both lay eggs. I might be in the same boat as flippedoutpunk. Need new QB...

And of course Mr. unreliable single handedly gave me the W. :) Thank you Gates.

In the same league, two weeks ago I lost by .04 points. This week I won by .04 points. Wow.

That's it. And I have a real problem with people who do that. Part of the fun is wheeling and dealing. Even in money leagues. Leagues where trading basically isn't allowed because of people who do this just becomes less fun

My league has never had a trade get through in 4 years.

Our league instituted the Window Rule. Every owner has 48 hours from when the trade is published to make a better offer. Trade processes immediately after the 48 hour window closes. That way "The Market" dictates the price of the player. Note that this is a keeper league where teams that fall out of contention normally deal for picks in the next year's draft so there are usually tons of trades. Additionally, we have had to make a lot of tweaks to the Window Rule to make it work and prevent everyone from waiting 47 hours to try and beat the initial offer. But it gets rid of stupid vetoes and encourages trading.

Very possibly. I have Stafford too and just can't trust him. Thank goodness he turned it up in the 4th quarter and salvaged a good fantasy week. But, I'm going to try to unload him if possible.

And I just did. I was just sick of the inconsistency at QB, so I traded Stafford/Green Ellis for Drew Brees. I have McFadden/Ridley/Donald Brown (only out 1-2 more weeks) at RB. I felt BJGE was expendable. Not sure if this was smart, but we'll see. I just had to make a move.
