2016 Fantasy Football

[Homercidal]

Tight End is a plug and play position unless you have Gronk or Olsen, it really doesn't matter who you have....

Yeah, I'm finding that out. Still, I wasn't happy with the points my guy got last week, and in a close matchup they can win or lose the week. With a backup who still hasn't joined the team, I don't have any option to add/drop in case of a last minute decision. Plus, who wants a player who just came off IR (Unless they are a beast.)?

So far I have found the Fantasy thing to be pretty interesting at game time. With the mobile app I can watch other teams' players on different games too.

Dam.

Did my picks for the Fox Sports Pick'em we have going on at work, and then did my fantasy picks yesterday. Turns out I forgot to hit SAVE on my Pick'em picks.

Lost 5 points on that brain fart.

 

[Homercidal]

Wow. You kiddin' me?? Lose by less than 1 point?

I was torn last night. I really needed Luck to have an off day, but I needed his kicker to have a good game. Then they had to go and go for it on 4th down instead of sending in the kicker. Well, Luck ended up not being very lucky so I'm ahead so far. We'll see how tonight breaks down, but I like where I am so far this week even with my running backs and receivers all having single point weeks.

I might shake up my lineup a bit this week. Don't want to be too reactive, but I think my lineup needs a good second look.

Not going to say anything to jinx myself with a quarter left in the game....

Good Lord, Forte is screwing me here! AZ DEF ain't helping much either! I was pretty excited going into the game, but I think it's all but over now.

I guess Luck was with me after all and Forte and AZ Def.....

Looks like I did ok for autodrafting. I was hoping to get A. Brown, but figured he would be gone right away. I lucked out.

At this point I don't know what to tweak until we get a little action on the field. Really excited to be excited for Thursday's game. I have to see if there is anyone on my team who is playing that game. In any case, I have the "pick'em" league at work I need to start picking winners!

What program are you guys using and how are you breaking ties? We use the ESPN pick em and are confused on the rules for weekly ties. I have read them over and over and it seems like what we understand from the rules, the computer picks a different winner! I'm happy this week because it has me as the winner, but I don't know how to justify it, and other guys think they should have won.

We are using NFL.COM fantasy. At work we use Fox Sports Pick'em just to pick winners each week. (I sucked at that this week too...)

Honestly I don't know what fox uses to pick ties. We just split winnings if it ends in a tie. It's only a small amount anyway. Just enough to make it interesting each week.

 

[lupulinaddict]

Ok. Thanks. I thought I'd try. I think we have it figured out, but we've said that three times now!

 

[Homercidal]

Can't believe I won last week after forgetting to set my defense! This is going to be a tough week again. Going against one of the best lineups in the league. Should be an interesting week for Football.

[Homercidal]

Congratulations! I enjoyed playing even though I went average through the season, and my last game was a BLOWOUT loss!

You are just lucky you beat me by less than half a point last week...... Victory would have been mine..... hahahahahahah

Good job.

Good job.

Yeah that was a close one for sure!!

 

[lupulinaddict]

You kicked my a$$ all season. What beer do you want from ca?

 

[firerat]

Something local. There really isn't anything I don't like beer wise. Something I wouldn't see here in fl.

 

[Homercidal]

I had planned on maybe sending some Crankers bombers, but the owner just recently fired the brewmaster, and he's a d!ck besides, so I'm not supporting them anymore.

Luckily there are lots of other breweries in Michigan to choose from!

 

[Elkobrewer]

Congrats Firerat. It was a frustrating season but had lots of fun. I will box up some local Nevada Beers and send them your way.

 

[str1p3s]

Wow I had an awful team... it'll take a few weeks, but how does a nut brown I just brewed and something commercial from the Cincinnati area sound?

 

[firerat]

That sounds fantastic!!

 

[TorMag]

So what is the secret to shipping beers? Since I am sending you from Georgia, will be a trick finding something you can't get down there....

 

[Elkobrewer]

Firerat. Two of each of these local brews heading your way.

I had icky in Reno a few years ago and I liked it a lot. How close are you to the new brewery revision? I think that's the name.

 

[TBC]

@firerat your winnings from the big gulps has just been sent. You should get it Friday. I will pm you the tracking number when I get home

 

[firerat]

Thanks guys!!

 

[lupulinaddict]

@firerat

I'll be sending my package next month. I'm waiting for a trip to Russian river next month, and I'll get your goodies from there.

 

[Elkobrewer]

lupulinaddict. I'm not to close to Reno it's about a 4 hour drive to the brewery from my house.
