Saints will never win with James Winston, the interception machine.

up to you guys though! sorry if that came off wrong, just have never been in a league where most points was anything more than a tiebreaker for playoffs.

I'm cool with it anyway.  I'm just playing for fun anyway, but like the paid league concept because it means people take it more seriously and I like the challenge.

Agree unless you need to run out the clock. If two first downs seal the win that is as important as a game winning score.

If you can't count on your RB2 to get you a couple of first downs then you don't need him on the depth chart.

I don't have a problem using CMC as the primary back, but you don't need to risk injury in situations where we are just trying to run out the clock.  It's just stupid.

why? panthers had the most points in the 2015 season, doesn't mean we won the super bowl or got a trophy for most points scored in the regular season.

Lol, it's not the same thing but OK

Rhule is desperate, no patience for young developing players no matter how talented or athletic.  Nixon still has a lot to like but needs to be coached up.

Also original league info post had payouts as:

1st - 225

2nd - 50

3rd - 25

 

Is that ok, or do we want to add more to 2nd, etc?

Not too complicate too much but it only seems fair to have a reward for the person who gets most regular season points.  If the first place winner is also the highest regular season pts winner then they can still achieve $225 payout, etc.

we have 10 confirmed, 1 that is about to join, and then I have to fill the last spot.  I just messaged @countryboi to confirm whether he was still in, if not I have someone for the last spot.  Should be full by 2:00 pm, and then I can either let yahoo randomize 1 hour prior, or do a duck race for draft order.

My vote is to randomize

Looks like we have 11 teams now, we need to add 1 more to make it even.  

@KyaKonaI propose we go to standard format with Kicker and Defense

It’s the settings I posted on like the 4th or 5th post in the thread. Added an extra flex in place of them. If it’s not what people want I can change, but if I don’t start hearing from more then the 4 that paid I may be refunding and deleting the league. 

Are you able to message them through Yahoo Fantasy?  

@KyaKona how come we're not doing Defense or Kickers in the draft?

Just have him line up as a fullback and drop him into the flat asa receiving option. 
 

Dual flats with him and CMC on opposite sides, would be amazing to see

This kid should be on the roster instead of PJ.

I’m assuming Rhule( for whatever reason) still has control over roster decisions so you can’t really grade Fitterer like he’s doing his job with no interference. 

I think interference is less and less and even Rhule has admitted deferring to Fitt and wants to focus on coaching.  He may still have "final say", but right now it's just a formality.  You can tell this season is different than last.

We got Baker for almost nothing and I will blame Rhule for Darnold because that was all him

Anything more than 12 teams dilutes the rosters too much, stay at 12

Let me know where to Venmo

My wife went to Florida the same time as Pineiro. She said he's really good.

Does it make you dizzy to spin poo that hard?

Nope, not much spin involved

Yeah, but we were just trying to find the best short term solution. Gonzalez is still our guy next year. makes sense to go with the seasoned vet.

Translation: Rhule is on the hot seat and not interested in developing younger players  

I would have preferred Patterson due to his youth and potential, but I'm cool

There's one person with two teams, we should probably not allow that

Is $25 buy in ok with everyone?

I can set up a league safe or hold with Venmo etc.

Works for me, I just joined the last spot available.  What's the payout?

Yep, which is why once upon a time we were the "Cardiac Cats". It was like the total opposite with Ron. With Ron it felt like even a 10 point deficit was insurmountable.

It worked both ways with Fox. We were almost never out of it, but we also played down to competition and tried to run out the clock in the third quarter
