Fantasy Football 2016

[FiveThous]

It's all right. I prefer ESPN's set up to any other format I've been involved in, as it's the most user friendly when it comes to presenting the info you want and need easily. I liked NFL.com's set up as well, although I'm not in any leagues there this year. Yahoo would be third. It's functionally pretty similar to ESPN but I find it doesn't always work right. Sometimes I'll set my line-ups and it will say it saved them, but when I check again the changes weren't saved. This has happened numerous times this year, although I've always caught it before it fucked me over.

Flea Flicker is functionally pretty solid. What I like about it is that setting line-ups is pretty easy, and you can make multiple moves at once before saving. Searching for players on the waiver or from other teams is as simple as it is anywhere else. What I don't like is that you typically have to click on a player and go to a totally separate page to see basic information like game by game scores, injury updates, expert recommendations, etc. It's not like ESPN and Yahoo where you just click the player and a little blurb pops up with almost everything you need. They do have those blurbs for some players, but it's usually just a single sentence of text about the player and not terribly useful. For reference, I currently have three players on my eleven player starting line-up with blurbs, and one of them is my fucking kicker.

What Flea Flicker seems to excel at, though, is user customization. You can set up leagues just about any way you want, which is likely why it's preferred for dynasty formats. I didn't set this league up myself, but it's obvious you can do a lot of things that you can't on ESPN functionally. If you're looking to set up a dynasty league or a league with a bunch of keepers, I'd consider it. If you're just doing a standard or small keeper league, I'd stick to ESPN or Yahoo since Flea Flicker doesn't really do enough differently to set it apart from those two.

I'm definitely thinking of it for dynasty and the customization. Thanks Jack!

RBs have made a hell of a comeback this year.

In standard scoring they occupy the top 6 in terms of fantasy points per game for non-QBs and 18 of the top 25

Playing Jordan Reed and Elliot today

I fucking hate fantasy football sometimes

 

[Hurl Bruce]

I had Reed and Jackson today and my opponent had Cousins.

Reed and Jackson gave me 38 points total, and Cousins got 43. I'm guessing that this works out better for me than him, but not sure. I think it may depend on how my QB does.

I'm struggling right now. I'm in my championship game and doubting myself. .5PPR and I have to decide on my flex...

Jeremy Hill vs HOU
Tyler Lockett vs ARI
Willie Snead vs TB
Tavon Austin vs SF

My gut says Jeremy Hill is the safe bet, but looking at match ups, I'm tempted to gamble on one of the other guys. Any thoughts for me?

 

[dano_24_26]

Hill is forsure your safe bet. The rest are so hit and miss it's tough. I'd go snead if u want to gamble. Goodluck

 

[Hurl Bruce]

AHHHHHHH....I need 16 points from Zeke...standard scoring. He's averaging 18 a game, but I fear that the team will pull some "resting/avaoiding injury" crap on me.

I really hope the team is set on getting him the rookie record. That'll get me the points I need.

In another league, I have it wrapped up unless Golden Tate goes off for 47 points. He's no Adam Thielen.

I'm up by 3 points in the Championship and still have Dez left to play tonight. Unfortunately the other guy has Zeke. I'm fucked.

 

[Hurl Bruce]

Zeke got me what I needed. Now I'm in the finals (I know, week 17 finals!).

The team I'm playing is so much better on paper, but you never know!

 

[dano_24_26]

The champ is here!! 1 for 2. Not too bad

Drew Brees. Steal of the draft. Jay ajayi waiver pickup of the year.

Dez put the team on his back and carried me to another championship. Hells yes

So my championship game is today. I have a dilemma regarding my WRs. I have to start 2 out of this bunch:

Julio Jones, coming off turf toe, took himself out last week, Atl already in playoffs, may not play much.
Alston Jeffery, Backup QB, coming off a blah performance after being suspended 4 weeks.
Steve Smith, about to retire, has been hot and cold all season
Cameron Meridith, emerged as a main target in the Bears offense when Jeffery was gone. Has had two straight 100+ yard performances and the 2 weeks prior had 72 and 67 with multiple targets.
Adam Theilen, avg 5/6 targets a game, usually good for about 4 a game. Has 5 TDs this season, had a breakout game last week: 12/202/2TDs

Must start two. Thoughts?
Thanks

Here was the team that won me my bigger money league:

12 team, standard scoring with a week 17 championship. My team was a huge underdog but with David Johnson going down, DeMarco Murray sputtering, and Travis Kelce not staying hot, I won with the following underwhelming team. Starters week 17 in bold.

QB: Jamies Winston, Tyrod Taylor

RB: Ezekiel Elliot, Bilal Powell, Dion Lewis, Kenneth Dixon, Rashad Jennnings

WR: AJ Green, Alshon Jeffery, Michael Thomas, DeSean Jackson, Sterling Shepherd, Marvin Jones, Sammy Watkins

TE: Jordan Reed, Vernon Davis

K: Caleb Sturgis

DEF: San Diego Chargers


Can you believe that shit?
