Re: You know what really grinds my gears?

If the NFL uses Week 6 in a 17 week season, that's roughly a third of the way thru. If Week 8 is used in a 13 Week season, that's roughly two-thirds thru. Who is being more protective of the league's integrity? I don't ever want to see an 0-8 team making trades with the league leader. You are entitl...

Re: You know what really grinds my gears?

In larger leagues, it really grinds my gears when someone in peanut gallery will complain about trades being made around the league. I call them the "trade police" because they think it is their duty to enforce trade equality when they are using their own questionable methods to value play...

Re: JJ Watt in a startup

It's all about positional scarcity. Bingo! If anyone here is properly valuing players, you already know how to compare the value of defensive players and offensive players, coaches, kickers, and punters too. I always had a rule to never spend over the minimum for a kicker, but in a properly valued ...

Re: cj mosley

Agreed about Wagner. Half the price of Kuechly in my league. He will continue to be undervalued because of his 5.5 game absence and being dropped down on the stat page. Mosley is going to be highly coveted because of his age, but Wagner is still only 24yrs old. Wagner is currently being credited for...

Re: Help!!! League rules for ophaned teams with bad contract

Interesting. I am running a 32-team salaries/contracts startup and just added a dispersal draft to our bylaws. When there are multiple abandoned teams, then the players/contracts and future rookie draft picks will be thrown into a dispersal draft to be selected in a 3rd round reverse serpentine. A p...

Re: Too quick to get 'value'?

Dynasty football is a balance between value and production. This could not be more true, but most fantasy footballers misuse the term value, IMO. If you are not playing in a salaried league (preferably large salaries) then you are missing out on the process of properly valuing players. ODB at $4.6 ...

Re: Questions from a Salary Cap beginner

To add to the startup auction logic. If it's a slow auction, in addition to having numbers for every player's 'worth' keep track of what guys are going for relative to those numbers so you have an aggregate idea of how the auction is going overall. This will help you determine whether people are ov...

Re: Chandler Jones deal

I get that a lot of teams run a mixed front for good reason, but the Patriots personnel are much better suited for 4-3 when everyone's healthy, or course. I really like their front 7.

Re: Victory Points

I couldn't agree more about all-play record as 1st tie-breaker. I started up a large league with $200 buy in. Of 32 teams only 12 make the playoffs, so I really wanted to see ONLY the best 12 make it in. The only way I could assure that was to use all-play record. It is by far the best metric to eva...
