Fantasy Football League (NFL)

Bills D/ST doing the job right now and a TD for Steve Smith. Given me some breathing space, hopefully Bills keep it up in the second half.

Edit: A BUF punt block results in a TD! This Bills trade is paying off!

Can anyone tell me what the % owned stat means?

I'd like to know too. Actually if anyone can tell me what any of that stuff on the right means would be good. Only one I know is the predicted points player may get.

OPRK - Where your player's opponent ranks defensively against his position, aka the Falcons concede the most fantasy points per game against running backs, so they are 32nd against Andre Ellington this week.

%ST - The percentage of teams in all of ESPN fantasy football starting the player this week.

%OWN - The percentage of teams in all of ESPN fantasy football who own the player - aka Andre Ellington owned in 98.1% of leagues means he's on the waiver wire in 1.9% of leagues.

+/- - How much the ownership % has moved recently, so +11.4 = player has been picked up in an extra 11.4% of leagues recently.

(I hope this makes sense, but it may have just confused you more)

Perfect, thanks!

That is great thank you.

So last round before the playoffs coming up huh?

Some big games coming up this week!

I have a massive matchup against my TM (and now fantasy NFL) grrrrivals Ramtallica. Winner could go through. Uncanny. 

Nah, I'm out of the race.  But the motivation to make sure my Grrival doesn't make it is strong :)

I'm worried the Tre Mason for Denard Robinson trade will decide things and maybe even cost me!

turkey games and I am dropping Crabtree from my lineup as he has been pants against Seattle for ages.

Cue Crabtree catching 250 yards, 3 TDs, kicking 14 points in field goals, and making 5 sacks on Wilson.  FML. 

fucking double posts.

so I am pretty sure that whatever happens over this weekend between myself and Usos, I will still finish last. That is all the motivation I need to get really drunk while watching, occassionally disturbing my wife from watching something on the laptop to slur at her about how I could have been a contender if only fucking Doug Martin had turned up.  FML.

another edit - when does our competition finish?  Is it this weekend? If so, what happens then - do I just have to watch each week as all my players suddenly remember where their arms/legs/hands/feet are and start dominating?

shootout at Ford Field at the bottom of the table - Usso and I both have 1 player in the opening game of the round, with Alshon Jeffrey scoring 2 touchdowns for him, and Megatron scoring a TD and 77 yards for me.  Only a couple of minutes into the 2nd quarter.

The (pointless) Usso v Hammers battle will be match of the season

After this weekend it is the playoffs. There will be a consolation bracket as well (Probably some sort of picks in the Rookie draft up for grabs (I believe I stated this in preseason, so I'll look back and figure it out :D

no dramas - I probably won't understand it.

Forte with just 8 points. I'm screwed. 

half time and Dallas have been awful/Phillie have been amazing*

* delete as applicable  

Edit - just realised second half kicked off about 5 minutes ago but I had live-paused so I didn't have to watch pitbull as the halftime show

My opposition (Fairies) and I only have one player each starting at 2:30pm today. Rest of ours play Monday morning

Anyone desperately need me to beat the Fairies to get them over the line?

Still going to be a tight one.  Think my last minute decision to play Cam Newton over Sanchez might cost me.

And looking at my record, I'm like the Nix - can't win away.

Worst trade ever!!!

Didn't cost me the game though, still would've come up short had the trade not happened.

My acquisition of the Bills and Rams D/ST have paid off. 23 points for the Bills last week and 29 for the Rams I swapped in this week.

Boooootiful. 

I have redone the Playoffs so the correct match-ups are in play, also the Consolation Bracket will see 5th vs 10th, 6th vs 9th & 7th vs 8th, the two winners with the highest score over two weeks will go into the Consolation Match for a Draft pick, and Lowest scoring losers will drop into the Wooden SPoon game.

I really need that draft pick!

Me too, think the only one who doesn't is Mos Eisley Troopers with his 10-3 record.

Bloody got Rodgers, Lynch and Gronk!

and that was all on autopick on draft night if I remember correctly

Me I am happy with my young QBs (Wilson, Mettenberger & Bridgewater), RBs Charles & Bell (And some youngsters), WRs Julio & Evans (Plus old hands White & VJax & youngsters: 2x Floyd, Kearse, Williams), and Allen & Reed at TE :D :D :D

Think a Rookie WR is my first aim, after that not sure...

It wasn't all COMPLETELY autopick, I just made sure it filled in the important positions first. I feel this team was handcrafted by my knowledge!

Now, I'm not usually one to count my chickens before they hatch BUT I think I've got this...

I concede....

why do I never get to play anyone who is only going to score 40 points?

It is a two week match up.  Could be a big come back on the cards.

This is true. Maybe I'll play my bench to make it interesting...

Yes please do, and do you have my bank account number for the payoff?

Or you could score double your opponents score in the first week ;-)

New Record 1 Week Score 204.5 :D

Baring any miracle comebacks, the playoffs for the Trophy seem pretty much set even with a week to go. 

The race for the additional draft pick is close though with all 6 teams in contention for the top two spots.  Could be a week in which either a boom or bust by one player gets a team through.

Jono's 200+ points scares the bejesus out of me for the final. My WR/RBs are so inconsistent apart from Jordy Nelson.
