RJ Pay for Play - Draft Discussion Thread 2011

[revo]

4 weeks left of the regular season. SeaDogStat, Hammer and Trautdiggity look to be out of the playoff race. That leaves us with 9 teams fighting for 6 spots. Here's the won-loss record of remaining opponents over the next 4 weeks:

frae (7-2) 1185.6pts: 23-13 (opponent's record)
jwlincy (7-2) 1092.6pts: 17-19
schlesinj (6-3) 1220.2pts: 20-16
Griswold (6-3) 1138.7pts: 15-21
phantaciephreak (6-3) 1089.1pts: 21-15
davidgrey (6-3) 1088.9pts: 21-15
revo (4-5) 1019.8pts: 14-22
Stephen (4-5) 983.1pts: 25-12
Piney Boy (4-5) 948.9pts: 21-15

Remember that the 1st tiebreaker (after won-loss record) is points scored. So it doesn't matter how you did head-to-head against another team, its just matter how many points you put up over the course of the season.

Good luck gentlemen!!

Woooooo

Have I said lately how much I love owning Aaron Rodgers? I have made plenty of bad trades, but getting Rodgers before 2009 for a draft pick was one I got right.

Ummm yeah, don't mention it. :bag:

.8 Pts:bang:

Thanks to the blowout ADP sat on the sidelines most of the 4th quarter. Not that I blame the team making that decision.

[jwlincy]

Just a reminder that the trade deadline is this Sunday (November 20th). The league website says that the deadline is at 11:59pm but once a player's game has started, you won't be able to trade them until Tuesday. So basically the trade deadline is Sunday, November 20th (5 minutes before a player's game starts).

Let me know if you have any questions.

Thanks.

With 3 games left things are getting a bit more clear. The race for the bye is very close, I currently have the most points of the top 4 teams so I would have the tiebreakers with them. Jamie has the most points, but has 4 losses. Two huge games this week will have a huge impact on the bye race. Diablow plays Madtown and ICL plays the Phreaks. If Jason and I win the byes are basically locked up. If Phreak and Diablow win things will get interesting the last 2 weeks. By the way who made my schedule? It is brutal down the stretch.

The 4 teams mentioned are in great shape for the playoffs, but anything can happen. Outside of the top 4 sits Jamie and Gris at 6-4. Jamie plays Piney Boy and this game is really for Piney Boy's season. A PB win puts him in a great spot to make the playoffs but a loss all but seals the deal for him being home come playoff time. Gris plays the Webbs who are pretty much out at 4-6 now. Last team still in it is Ed who is now up to 5-5 after dumping a few weeks ago. Ed plays Mike who is going for the imperfect season. Can he do it?

Only game of the week with no playoff implications features Traut vs Pete. Both teams are over 300 points off the pace. The winner gets a better draft pick, Pete hasn't broke 50 points since he dumped.

Good luck everyone!

[SeaDogStat]

Never going for the imperfect season...just "lucky" I guess. Played my best players and have tried to be competitive every week to be fair to the other teams trying to make the playoffs.

[Piney Boy]

This is my season. It all comes down to this week. Statistically I will not be out with a loss, but the view will be very grim. Things will be very bad next year if I do not make the playoffs this year. Ugh!

Did anyone put in a claim for Plaxico? I had put in a claim for him and then one for Hasselbeck (for Schaub) but forgot to change the priority.

I did not put one in for Plax.

Nope, I didn't put in a claim for Burress. I had one if for the Bears DEF but Jamie swiped them right before me. The only other one that I had was for Damian Williams (which I got). Not sure if I needed to use a waiver claim on him or not but I'm thin at WR this week with A. Brown on bye and Austin injured.

[revo]

so with Jason exiting the league, I will be taking over as commish for year. Huzzah!

I'm contemplating a few changes for next season, want to see what everyone thinks:
1) FAAB in place of straight waivers
2) FAAB twice a week, rather than once with a free for all afterwards
3) upping the bench by a spot
4) adding TEs to the flex

Any other changes anyone looking for?

[Hammer]

1 yes
2 yes
3 no
4 yes

[Piney Boy]

1) Yes
2) Yes - I thought we had a twice a week waiver period when I was last in the league anyway
3) No
4) Yes

[griswold]

1. Yes
2. yes
3. no
4. yes
