I'm so glad people keep giving Mark Sanchez chances in this league so I don't have to change my name.

Pumped Up Kicks

It's not commonly known, but kickers are actually the most selfish players in the game, and love getting all the glory for themselves.

For each FG attempted, you get 200 points, but for each PAT attempted, you lose 100. Because you're terrible, you selfish kicker you.

HC scoring was intended to counterbalance DST scoring but I may have overshot

Well then, go Ravens!

I'm Telling!!!

My opponent started Zach Mettenberger and he didn't do a thing on Sunday. He needs that sweet sweet -8000 points on his total.

Also, I didn't start a Tight End, but since there's nothing worse than a 0 in that category, my dumbness is punishment enough.

WOULD YOU LIKE TO PLAY A GAME

Head Coaches now get 4000 points for a win, and -7500 points for a loss. You may choose not to play a Head Coach.

(more for a loss because they still get points for points scored, and I'm trying to offset that. Otherwise everyone would play one anyways, I want to make it a real decision)

the point limit is 1000 pts per category

I've put in for now as 400/win and -750/loss but let me know what you want to do



That's fine. I cranked those up because there's only one per week, but limits are limits.

Bad News: I forgot to start a second QB.
Good News: I realized that before the rest of the games had started.
Bad News: I had to pick up Jimmy Clausen.
Good News: I'm starting two quarterbacks now!
Bad News: One of them is Jimmy Clausen.

Embrace Literalism

All point scoring plays are worth what they're worth in an actual game. (Safeties worth 2, FGs worth 3, TDs worth 6, Points scored for Head Coach are one per)

Gimme gimme gimme

Forced Fumbles are worth -90 points, but recovering them is worth 180. So if you make them drop it, you'd better pick it up!

so is there no calvinball rule this week? Thursday games really screw over leagues like this :D

This is my dumb fault. I completely spaced until just now, and of course it's the week I get the Calvinball.

Apparently being put on Mark Sanchez Passes Go Boink is a curse if you're a running back. I'm already down Jamaal Charles, and now Foster getting injured this week has me concerned.

My rule.... may have been a HUGE mistake given the Calvinball rule.

Unless I'm missing someone... there are 0 QBs on waiver right now I can pick up to fill in my 2nd spot and reasonably expect to touch the ball. For now I've put in Mettenberger on the off chance that Mariota misses again.

If someone has a suggested player I'm all ears!

I have suggested a player for you, and for the low low cost of Martavis Bryant and Bort Bort.

It's the thought that counts I suppose, but I think I'll take my chances of a penalty over giving them up for Cousins!

I told you you could have Teddy if you wanted. :colbert:

edit: Fun fact, apparently with the current rules, Cousins has a higher point total than my two starters this week, Cam Newton and Carson Palmer.

This is going to be the 4th year that I want to be in this league and won't be :( This is literally the only fantasy football league in the world I care about and I just got promoted in goontier after years of 7th place finishes

If you're just looking for a space, you can have mine. I always peter out towards the end, especially with the rules making, and I'd rather see someone super excited about it be in there. It's a lot of fun, but for whatever reason, it's just not for me.
