Oh poo poo I never shifted this league to be a FAAB waiver system. Sorry fellas, I hosed up. Looks like being last place is REALLY beneficial now.

Haha. I more meant that I don’t have to decide to be good or bad if Kelce (and Walker now?) don’t play. 8th place for me!

I think we're playing each other. I'm still rooting for a win though, despite benching my top picks. Week 1 feels the most dangerous to end up getting shelled, so a loss seems acceptable.

I personally was trying. But my team is tanking. Also as an aside, I cannot trade anyone my player that has a torn Achilles, correct?

Nope, the rule is tha players must be at least "Questionable." That is... a tough break

Luigi's Death Stare gonna lose JJ because of the Cowboys D haha

This league has me so confused in terms of what to root for. Really want to be a couple weeks in and middle of the pack so I can just start my guys.

Skyy Moore for Jefferson is catastrophic.

I wanted to try to land somewhere in mid range and instead completely tanked! I will enjoy my certified pre-owned Justin Jefferson though.

I think you'd rather have the Dallas D. They did score almost triple what Jefferson did. Who doesn't steal the person who scored the most? Some person who doesn't know strategy, that's who. :colbert:

I have decided that as penance for forgetting to switch the league to a FAAB setting that I'm not going to use my waiver priority this week, though.

This format works okay with standings waiver but getting the shell AND first priority makes last place a very enviable spot. It really works better as FAAB (as all leagues do)

Personally, I don't care if you do switch it, it's still early and this league is experimental anyway. I'm good either way.

drat blue shell. :argh:

The blue shell claims its first victim, as I get the deal of a century on a barely-used Justin Jefferson for the low low price of one Skyy Moore. (and also there's 20 points between me and the next-lowest person.)

Remember, you do not have to start Skyy, but you cannot drop or trade him for at least one week.

In a fun turn of events, all four 1-0 teams are playing each other this week, so one of them is guaranteed to be shelled.

In the bottom half, it's a free-for-all.

Just remembered this in my other league so I wanted to declare it here early: You cannot throw a shell if you've been mathematically eliminated from the playoffs.

I don't think that's going to be an issue in this league for a long long time though

Does the shell waste, or move to the 7th place team?

Moves to next eligible person then. So the last few weeks of play get REALLY interesting.

I am genuinely curious how this shell goes, there are so many targets on Silly Burrito's team. I know what I would do, but there might be a different take.

And it's Toad Gurley throwing the shell at Luigi's Death Stare (aka Silly Burrito)!

Silly Burrito is not allowed to drop/trade any players until after the shell trade is posted, Toad Gurley has until 9:00 PM EST tonight to do so, otherwise they lose the shell and Rainbow Road Warriors will be able to steal from them.

I realize the odds of this are really small, but what happens if two teams end up having a tie for the lowest score?

Personally, I think the two shells would hit each other and the first place team would drive way laughing like Wario.

If this happens I think we have to implement some sort of Bob-Omb penalty where everyone in the bottom half loses a player or something.
