Apolyton Fantasy Football (not soccer damnit)

[ColdWizard]

Sigh... lost by less than five points in both leagues--the most narrow loss in both leagues--after holding the lead going into last night.

I hate this ****ing game.

Hopefully everyone that had them used them, it would be a shame to lose the week because those points were on the bench

RG3 was on my bench. Romo scored more points though.

I see my IDP league "luck" from last year is still with me. Same old story:

Q: Who had the highest scoring team this week?
A: The team playing the Rabbits.

Lost by less than 5 pts. Next week, look for Jaguar to rack up big numbers. (His lineup is loaded anyway.)

[SlowwHand]

Romo didn't outscore RG3 in DST.

Robert Griffin III 50.70
Tony Romo 43.05

[ColdWizard]

Well, obviously RG3 is the better quarterback but reality is not always reflected accurately in fantasy.

IDP
Romo: 45.98
RG3: 44.00

Hey did you guys know Yahoo does recaps of our fantasy games now, complete with stat breakdowns and charts?

Here's MRT and me in my 215-151 walloping of him ():

http://football.fantasysports.yahoo.com/f1/61194/recap?week=1&mid1=6&mid2=8

Here's a taste:

I'm Thinking RBs Smooth Moves

With 17.00 points, Matt Bryant had the highest score for a K in the league this week.
Brandon Marshall had 37.55 points to lead the matchup in scoring.
With 33.40 points, Matt Forte ranked fourth in scoring among all RBs in the league this week.
Jeremy Maclin ranked eighth in the league in scoring among WRs this week with 31.40 points.
I'm Thinking RBs had 7 of their 9 starters exceed their projected points.


Purple Drank Regret Tracker

Picked up the San Diego Chargers Defense but left them on the bench, where they scored 28.94 points against a projected 18.92.
Only 4 of the 9 starters on Purple Drank underachieved this week, but they still lost.
The Buffalo Bills Defense got a negative score this week with -0.52 points against a projected 18.65.
The 9.50 points scored by Greg Jennings was just 44.3% of his 21.45-point projection.
Purple Drank lost even though both of their RBs scored above their projected points.

I have Rivers/Ryan in two leagues for money and I started Rivers... still won my games though thanks to loading up on Bears and Falcons

I think I'll be starting Ryan from here on out.

the Tossers over the Hammers in one helluva match

[SlowwHand]

I had no idea about recaps. Cool.

[Al B. Sure!]

The recaps are basically like what MRT did two years ago but per game. Guess we don't need him anyway

Wonder if they'll have season recaps.

[ColdWizard]

Not entirely accurate since I picked up Alfred Morris mid-game rather than "left him on the bench" but still interesting.

[Ben Kenobi]

I think I'll be starting Ryan from here on out.

Good luck with that.

•Electric Slide Jedi had no luck at the K position, losing the point battle 16.00 - 2.00 to Vicious Rabbits.
•Even though Electric Slide Jedi lost, only 3 of their 9 starters scored less than their projected points

One of those players being FJax. Even with FJax being injured, 2 points for Crosby and NYG defense, I still dominated my expected points.

Easy to dominate expected points when you draft bums

'Struth, only bums were the starters. All the backups did well.

[Al B. Sure!]

Hey Ben, I'm currently the #2 scorer in D/ST league

[Ben Kenobi]

See what drafting Rivers can do for you?
