EDIT: Oh poo poo, apparently I'm doing better since the last time I checked...but it still feels like a crapshoot at this point in the season
It often is something of a crapshoot, even more than normal fantasy football. That's especially true early in the season, before we get a better sense of which teams/players are legitimately good or bad.

Too bad no one had the Bucs defense tonight...

I did in a normal league and somehow they didn't kill me because fumbles and a pick six but boy howdy 122 is one of the highest point totals I've ever seen in a bizarro league

Thought I was being so clever picking up Charlie Whitehurst for today. He got a decent 44.5 points, while Geno Smith put up 128.3 on my bench. :(

Fun stats from the weekly scoring leaders page: Members of the Vikings (including players, head coach, and D/ST unit - the latter two of which I started :hellyeah:) totaled 576.6 fantasy points. Members of the Packers totaled -219.2.

Oh Geno, if only you hadn't sucked so much so quickly. Vick replaced him and scored 181.8 fantasy points - on my bench. :negative:

Wow. I just noticed that not only is Geno Smith the top scoring QB in the league so far by more than 300 fantasy points, but Michael Vick is the second highest scoring QB despite only receiving meaningful playing time in two games. :stare: Glad I picked up Vick as a handcuff for Geno!

I can't believe how close our matchup ended up being. If the Jets would have lost like they always do I would have come out on top.

But since this league is all about rewarding lovely performance, you deserve the W for having Andy Dalton alone.

These have to be the closest standings at this point in the season that I've ever seen. Third through tenth place are all either 5-5 or 4-6.

It is amazing how bad my team has been and yet I'm still not mathematically eliminated from the playoffs :toot:

I plan on taking care of that over the next couple weeks though :v:

I guess there was some kind of stat adjustment because this isn't the case anymore :smithicide:

Looking at the stat corrections I can't figure out why the score changed though

Both match-ups between the Ron Turner All Stars and the Dan Snyder All Stars this season have ended with both teams in the negative. It was Joe Flacco and Teddy Bridgewater to put us into the negative in Week 4 in an exciting -101.4 to -141.4 match-up, while Tre Mason and Coby Fleener had big weeks in a -15.1 to -55.6 match-up this week.

That's hilarious.

Last week of the regular season now, and although four teams are a single game out of fourth place, due to the points tiebreaker only Beavis and Buttfumble have much of a shot at getting into the playoffs. That would require a win, a loss by Method Manning Face, and outscoring Method Manning Face by at least 162.2 points this week. Also, NFL Drug Policy has the opportunity to become the first team in the league's four year history with 11 regular season wins.

With no players left in the championship matchup, congrats to team NFL Drug Policy for being this season's champions!

Even though it was only for third place, I'm glad I got the chance to call on Ryan Lindley as my starting QB. He came through with an amazing 214 fantasy points. Lindley now has five career starts, and looking back at the 2012 season box scores, his results for those five games have been:

31/52 for 312 yards, 6.0 YPA, 0 TD, 4 INT, 87.7 fantasy points
10/31 for 72 yards, 2.3 YPA, 0 TD, 1 INT, 206 fantasy points
14/21 for 104 yards, 5.0 YPA, 0 TD, 1 INT, 53.6 fantasy points
17/30 for 141 yards, 4.7 YPA, 0 TD, 1 INT, 91.5 fantasy points
18/44 for 216 yards, 4.9 YPA, 0 TD, 1 INT, 214 fantasy points

When Ryan Lindley starts a game, he averages 130.6 fantasy points, so a full season of this would score about twice as many points as the top player in the league this season. Conclusion: Ryan Lindley Owns (at sucking).

gently caress, I definitely should have picked him up rather than hedging my bets in the off-chance of Bortles not starting. I mean Bortles was bad enough, it was more the Chiefs being poo poo that did me in. I also should have picked up another bad defense! Lastly, gently caress Riley Cooper. Again. Still. Always.
