Re: Why am *I* the asshole for caring when other owners tank
I respect your opinion, but disagree. One is a case of an owner leaving an active player on his bench while starting an inactive player instead. By choice. Everyone can, and should, check the inactive report before game time. Sometimes life gets in the way and that's not possible. So I don't mind i...

Re: Why am *I* the asshole for caring when other owners tank
You don't? You don't see the difference between not having better starting options on your roster and not wanting to waste roster spots on garbage spot starters versus not giving a bleep and starting injured players despite having other options on your bench every week of the season thus far? If so...

Re: Draft Kings Scandal
good luck winning any contest of skill where the top of the leaderboard is filled with experts that started brian hoyer and then get rewarded when a fluke injury gets him in the game halfway through the 2nd quarter and he throws for 300 yards and 2 tds . SKILL pfft! he was a terrible play even if h...

Re: Why am *I* the asshole for caring when other owners tank
To the OP - I don't really understand how this is different from your situation with intentionally having no viable QB. You don't? You don't see the difference between not having better starting options on your roster and not wanting to waste roster spots on garbage spot starters versus not giving ...

Re: Why am *I* the asshole for caring when other owners tank
i still feel anyone who knowingly sells off guys for the purpose of losing is a form of tanking..period. the goal is to win the league, not the highest draft pick. if you want to call it rebuilding...fine, but noone who goes about it by selling off everyone, has any right to complain because anothe...

Re: Why am *I* the asshole for caring when other owners tank
The idea that there's no difference between selling assets in order to rebuild with better draft picks and deliberately benching guys in order to secure a higher pick is poorly thought out. One of those awards the 1.01 to a team with a poor talent pool, which is the point of awarding the 1.01 to th...

Re: Why am *I* the asshole for caring when other owners tank
Agreed. But what about when owners aren't doing number 2?Cameron Giles wrote:Provided the owner:
1. Has paid their money on time.
2. Starts a healthy lineup each week.
3. Isnt dumping off game changing players for cheap to contenders
...they should be allowed to do with their team as they please.

Re: Draft Kings Scandal
^^^ likely true , I do have a habit of that at times . But for clarification I really should have thinned the strike zone down to include the big$ contests . I have played lower stakes a couple weeks and what I see is that you need to be really lucky even in those contests. By lucky I mean like sta...

Re: Let's Talk Duke and Crowell
As a fantasy football player period, the only one I care about is Duke. Crowell sucks. If it's non-ppr, I probably don't really care about either one though. Even in PPR, I don't view Duke as a bellcow type guy, but I do think he'll have a long-enough, productive-enough career as a pass catching bac...

Re: Rebuild Etiquette.
Bumping this thread because it is an important read (imo) and because Brandon Weedon once again has a smidgeon of value. :) And, in an ironic twist of fate, I have since cut Weeden because he's garbage and I'm now rostering Cassel because I think he has a higher shot at fantasy usefulness in the ne...

Why am *I* the asshole for caring when other owners tank?
I'm in a 16 team IDP league. I actually really like the setup of the league, it's my first IDP league and I've learned a lot from it. I took over an awful team, made it slightly better over the course of 1.5 years, and I'm sitting at 3-1 (admittedly somewhat lucky, but the team is definitely better)...

Re: Draft Kings Scandal
The thing that will take it from a "game of skill" to gambling luck is the fact that so many sharks put in hundreds or even thousands of lineups over some of the tournaments. That is simply playing the odds and taking skill out of it, since maxing out most of the viable combinations will ...

Re: NCAAF Observation Thread
I don't watch a lot of college football and I haven't really watched Ezekiel Elliot much before today. Maybe I'm being unduly harsh on a dude who had a monster game statistically, but he looks really slow out there. It looked like he was running in slow motion at times. Am I the only one who has tho...

Re: Week 4 Survivor Pool Discussion
This seems like a much tougher week than last IMO. I'm tempted to take Green Bay, but I'm having a hard time picking them on the road against a desperate team. Seattle is a very solid option, but I've already used them so they aren't an option. Indy is also somewhat tempting, but I'm not sold on Ind...
