Found Matt Ryan lurking on the waiver wire a couple of weeks ago in keeper. Absolutely lit up my bench yesterday.

Handy use of the poll feature to decide who I start this week (for my non-DiS league)

  • Matt Stafford vs. Philadelphia
  • Jameis Winston @ Carolina

Matt Stafford is dead to me after Sunday (I will probably start him in two leagues again this week).

#145

Not sure it was all his fault to be honest. Well apart from if made the call to get Riddick to play the running game…no. just no.

#146

I have brought in the Philly kicker and D this week specifically to annoy my opponent in that league, him being a huge eagles fan.

#147

Psychological warfare, I like it.

#149

Gets that way!

What’s the most amount of teams people have had? I’ve never gone above 2, been invited to some others but politely declined in the main (would have joined one, but it never got off the ground). I quite like having ‘my’ players, for better or worse performances, and it kinda sucks when you have a player you’re also playing against (see Jones, J., last week. Basically won and lost a game for me). I also dislike having the same player in two teams (ended up starting Kirk Cousins in both leagues last week, which involved benching Matt Ryan. sigh )

I’ve spoken to people with wayyy more teams, they say they kinda like the disassociation - you have 6 line ups, you do each one on its merit, and go from there.

Couldn’t even handle two last year. As soon as one team slipped, I cared about it less, didn’t give a shit, plus all the stuff about players going up against each other. It’s not for me.

#151

Five, see above. Basically I can’t get enough, it appeals to my love of NFL, statistics, competition and my innate nerdiness. Players for and against is annoying, but I tend to find I draft the same players in each team which is great when it works (M Jones, D Murray) and terrible when it goes wrong (B Cooks and A Luck both excluding week 1).

#152

Ever done IDP? That would probably be the most likely way to lure me into a 3rd

#153

No, I know next to nothing about how it works or who the players are. Might think about it next year though maybe, never really considered it.

#154

I think it’s reasonably straightforward in terms of points, although I hear it’s pretty frustrating as it’s even more random than standard fantasy, eg Von Miller does all the work but effectively flushes Andrew Luck into the loving embrace of Ware. Tackles are a pretty bizarre stat too, hard to distinguish between a really good inside linebacker dissecting a play and stopping it for a 1-2 yard gain, or someone on another team who’s mopping up because the D-line is terrible.

Kinda interested though, because I don’t know quite so much about the teams’ defences, and fantasy was definitely a big part in improving my knowledge outside of the big teams and the NFC North for the offensive players.

Didn’t pick up martellus Bennett cause I thought Brady would just be passing to gronk ffs

#156

My keeper league team is tanking so hard. My IDP was the strength but they’ve dropped off a cliff. Come back to me Lavonte David

Good week for me to have Bennett in the Dis Div 2 though.

Just realised I’m playing against the Vikings D in both my fantasy leagues.

Great.

#158

Going to get a lot rougher before the end if Brock keeps trying to push the ball down field

#159

Yup. Pretty sure he will do too - not much option really

#160

Nice drive from Brock here.

#161

Ha.

#162

Did @newerwaves / Jimmys Wang Yang make it over to the new boards?

If so, the Panthers did you dirty last night in Div 2.
