Apolyton Fantasy Football

[Al B. Sure!]

What the **** is Robomanager?

[Ben Kenobi]

Robomanager runs that team.

Robomanager drafted.

Robomanager starts the highest projected player in each slot.

Robomanager also picks up the highest projected on offense and defense each week. She found Joe Haden for me, (9 points on D!)

Robomanager should win, depending on Romo. Romo, Dez and Hightower vs LT, Bess, Tashard, VJax and 15 points.

[Al B. Sure!]

What the ****?

And you said you were starting Kerry Collins. You said it.

[Ben Kenobi]

And you said you were starting Kerry Collins. You said it.

Hey Robomanager said otherwise. The only team that's losing is the one with Roddy White.

I'm up against stiff competition there. Koya's got a solid team and his guys are doing well.

Amendola keeps his starting job. Good man.

[Ben Kenobi]

43 points now for Cutler. This has got to be pissing off JR.

[Al B. Sure!]

Amendola broke his arm.

And you're so full of ****, Ben. That was the 3rd sack fumble for Kerry Collins on the day.

[Al B. Sure!]

Jesus. -1.27 points for Big Ben right now. What the ****?!

[Ben Kenobi]

And you're so full of ****, Ben. That was the 3rd sack fumble for Kerry Collins on the day.

I did start Cutler. Up in all my matches, but damn. That Amendola injury sucks.

[Al B. Sure!]

Holy **** Roethlisberger. Am I going to have to start Gradkowski in an Apolyton league again this year?!

[Guynemer]

Brees, Jennings, and Sproles = IDP Profit!

Add Urlacher to that equation.

[-Jrabbit]

43 points now for Cutler. This has got to be pissing off JR.

Why would this piss me off? Because he's on my bench in one league?
Doesn't bother me at all. Go Bears!

[Sparrowhawk]

Add Urlacher to that equation.

I would be concerned about the fact that you are completly destroying me this week , but as I look at the other matchups, I would either be leading or close against every other team so I am going to put this one down to you having an amazing week (and it's not over yet......my remaining players could make up the difference right....right?? ).

[Ben Kenobi]

It happened to me in the playoffs. Both times I got rolled by better teams. Not much you can do there.

[Ben Kenobi]

Tolldozer! That's great. Now he'll firm up that weak RB cores.

[Al B. Sure!]

Saw this for D/ST league:

The Best Draft of the 2011 season goes to...
Youth Rights Knights
Manager: Alex
The Best Draft is awarded to the team with the most projected season points based on weekly optimal starting lineups.
Record Book presented by Toyota - Moving Forward

[MRT144]

In one league I didnt play Britt or Benson....

[OzzyKP]

Saw this for D/ST league:

Sweet.

[OzzyKP]

Also, while I seem to usually do a pretty good job in the draft, having great players counts for less when you bench the good ones and play the bad ones. Which I do too much of.

[Ben Kenobi]

I have Tolbert benched in all my leagues. Will likely cost me.

[Al B. Sure!]

I'm seeing this:

Manning's neck surgery was a rare, aggressive procedure pointed toward bringing him back this season, Fox's Jay Glazer reports.
Spin: Manning's surgery was more painful than the customary procedure for his injury but gives him the possibility of trying to come back. If he had the conventional surgery, it would have been at least four months before he could start his rehab.

Is it probable he could be back? I know it's week one, but from the showing of my team this week, barring a slew of injuries and assuming I stay on top of the waiver wire, I have a pretty good shot at the playoffs. Should I keep Manning rostered for that fantasy playoff potential?

I'll probably pick up Grossman this week since he goes up against Arizona who Cam Newton gashed but that means I'd have to cut someone if it's not Manning. Probably Nate Burleson.

Thoughts?

And yes, I think Grossman this week against ARI is probably a better play than Freeman vs. Minnesota.

[Ben Kenobi]

No, he's costing you a roster slot.

[Ben Kenobi]

FML, my best team is going 0-1.

Koya will have the best week.

This is depressing I had a great week, 158 not enough. Needed Tolbert's points.

[Al B. Sure!]

TE, weak, D, Weak, QB, Weak, K weak. Strong at WR and RB though. You'll be ok, but whatever you paid for the league, kiss it goodbye.

Let's see, shall we?

TE weak?
Jimmy Graham: 4 for 56 with a touchdown
Aaron Hernandez: 7 for 103 with a touchdown as of the start of the 4th quarter.

K weak?
Robbie Gould: 3/3 on field goals, 3/3 on XP's.

Suck it, Ben.


Now I have a controversy as to who to start at TE. Graham and Hernandez both seem like top-10 TE's easily.

[Al B. Sure!]

And why am I so good in other leagues but suck at Apolyton?

Are you guys (except Ben) all just that good?

[OzzyKP]

I can't speak for everyone, but yea, I'm pretty awesome.

[OzzyKP]

Heck I'm so awesome I even left an additional 18 points on the bench. Don't want to run up the score on you guys too much, amirite?

[Al B. Sure!]

I can't speak for everyone, but yea, I'm pretty awesome.

Seriously.

I mean unless McFadden goes off, I'll have the lowest point total of the week in D/ST. I got all of 2 points out of Big Ben. What gives?

[Al B. Sure!]

Wow Big Ben was the 32nd QB in fantasy points in our league this week and soon to be 33 as long as Jason Campbell throws a few passes. What the ****?

[OzzyKP]

Seriously.

Ben's collapse was a fluke. There are better QBs out there though.

Also, you might want to avoid starting tight ends with a projected 0.99 points.

Edit: oh, and drafting 17 WRs

The fundamentals were very sound on Kendricks. The Eagles struggle against the TE and have a very young LB corps with Matthews, Fukou, and whoever the third guy is. Regardless, they can't cover an athletic TE like Kendricks. The Eagles were going to blitz hard, which they did, and force Bradford into throwing short dump-offs, which he did.

The fundamentals were there for Kendricks to have a big game. He was targeted 5 times but only caught one ball, flat out dropping a deep pass that would have gone for a TD.


I think my logic and evaluation of games is sound. I'm sorry but I don't think I'm crazy to say that. I post breakdowns of things a bit and I think I'm pretty on point, for the most part. Things on the field don't always go down how they should, though.

Like look at how I broke down Blount for MRT a few hours ago in the other thread. Like I know what I'm doing but it blows up in my face on Apolyton fantasy leagues.
