I haven't heard anything from him so far, so I think you've got a good chance there.

If ESPN doesn’t know how to score punters then I’d definitely vote to revert next season, losing a win on a Wednesday sucks rear end

I get the frustration, but I’m wary of changing any settings during the season that will have an effect on people’s scores and records, just to be fair to everyone. After the season, we can modify as necessary.

Totally agreed, in-season rule changes are no good.

(In a fantasy NBA league I was in last year for some reason there was a limit on rostered centers that I don't think anyone noticed until after the draft, we stuck with that until the end)

Now my starting QB has had a serious injury for three consecutive weeks (Mac Jones, Tua Tagovailoa, Teddy Bridgewater).

I'm very interested in trading for Tom Brady...

As someone who lives in Chicago, playing against the top scoring d/st the week they're playing the Bears feels like a death sentence.

Cool stat: in the last 4 weeks I've started 4 different QBs who have averaged a little under 5.2 points per game. If Taysom Hill was still QB-eligible, he'd have been my best available option for three weeks running.

Trades will need (2 days/8 veto votes, 1 day/8 veto votes, instant/no veto votes) to process.

We’ll see how it plays out.

1 day/8 veto votes sounds good to me, I can see some silly stuff happening with instant

Back of the napkin math, three of y’all from Namath at 8-3 and above are most likely making the playoffs. Everything else is still too close to call.

Correction: Peppercorns have clinched a playoff spot (not the division, however).

With the head to head tiebreaker against Rated R Superstars, if I’m not mistaken I can clinch the division with a tie this week.

lol that my good luck was exactly the tie, if I score a tenth of a point less that week I have a true 9 win team with exactly 9 wins.

Peppercorns/Superstars is a pretty cool first round matchup because we've been in the same drat division for 14 years.

Looking through league history, all-time the series is at 20-11 Akron:

S1: 2-0 Peppercorns
S2: 3-0 Peppercorns (Round 1 consolation)
S3: 2-0 Peppercorns
S4: 1-1 split
S5: 1-1 split
S6: 2-0 Superstars
S7: 2-1 Peppercorns (Round 1 playoffs)
S8: 2-0 Peppercorns
S9: 3-0 Superstars (Round 3 consolation)
S10: 2-0 Superstars
S11: 2-0 Peppercorns
S12: 1-1 split
S13: 2-0 Peppercorns
S14: 2-0 Peppercorns (Round 1 playoffs TBD)

There have been more head to head games between us than all-time Cowboys/49ers games (30) and the first time the teams matched up, Jake Delhomme, Clinton Portis, and Roy Williams were involved.

Silly Burrito posted:

My thought is that we have a rule that says if a game is unexpectedly cancelled and is NOT replayed, the final fantasy scores stand as is. It obviously sucks for those who have players in those games, but barring some sort of substitution rule (for example, your highest bench player that qualifies for the position gets the points), it's probably the fairest way to go. But obviously, I'd love to hear what you all think.

Alternate suggestion: players who were in the cancelled game are assigned their projected points for the week.

I like stuff like this. Using the concept of the p-value and … parametric statistics.

The way this fantasy year ended should cause a mass exodus of fantasy players. But, we all know it won’t. I sure won’t be gone. I’m a sucker.

Congrats to the winners. Namath UP!!!!!

I was ready to quit fantasy football (outside of this league) because of the money league I was in with the attached team, but the commissioner went with a split in my team's favor from the projections rather than the final points
