Fantasy Football '12

[unit300021]

Holy fucking shit. What a great game to have Rodgers on my fantasy team. And I still might lose, hahaha.

I was down also and had the big game from Rodgers to really help me out. Then I looked again and he had Jordy Nelson so I only gained 9 points on him. Oh Well

[Fourthisto]

Was up 24 points,was feeling good, but then....

Damn you, Jordy Nelson.... DAMN you.

[ManImCool]

Fucking Rivers. I was at the SF Giants game (awesome time by the way) so I could not have given a fuck about MNF or my already lost fantasy season. Still curious though, while waiting in a beer line at ATT Park I checked the score before halftime and was up by several points. Knowing I had sealed a pointless victory, I continued ignoring the pointless MNF game. Then the Giants win. Chaos.

When I get home however, it appeared I had lost. What? I was winning before halftime with my opponent having no players left? Then I looked a little deeper. The 2nd to last play of the game, I was up by about 1 point. On the last play of the game that butter-fingered douche lost a fumble and got -2 points, making me lose by about a point. On the last play of the game. I hope Rivers get mouth cancer.

Barring a crazy stat correction tomorrow, wait nevermind I don't give a shit about this lost season anyways. Congrats to everyone that didn't draft Forte/Fred Jackson/Lynch/Lloyd/Rivers, you did what I couldn't.

Now for some lip reading fun

After having Shonn Greene on the bench I needed someone to come through for me and Nelson finally had a decent game. If I lost and went to 1-5 that would have essentially killed my season. Now I actually have a minimal chance.

[Fourthisto]

Now I actually have a minimal chance.

Must be nice. I've got the third most points, and sit in ninth place. Not cool, guys.

[ENluv12]

6-0 baby!

Yes, yes, sweet tears... This victory will live in my heart forever. You should consider the possibility that you have been judged harshly by the fantasy football gods, and that this outcome is a some sort of comment on your character.



And now, Sean, you have my permission to die.

[ManImCool]

Pretty sure we all expected some sort of classy quip from you. Way to come through.

Zero fucks, Bob, zero fucks.

[PlayaDelWes]

My bench going into this week:

Jimmy Graham (status unknown) I have Jason Witten in as starting TE this week
MeMarco Murray (inj)
Peyton Manning (bye)
Julio Jones (bye)
Donald Brown (inj)
Mark Ingram (@TB)
Mike Williams (NO)

I need to drop at least one of these so I have a QB this week. Is there any reason I should keep Mark Ingram or Mike Williams at this point?

[TickleMeElmo]

Drop Ingram. He's useless as long as he's a Saint.

[SepaGroove]

Yeah drop Ingram. I would keep Williams.

He had a really good rookie year and might be returning to form with defences focusing on Jackson.

[icedKeg]

Couple of questions if you experts wouldn't mind helping me out...

Pick Two (PPR League)
1. Andre Johnson vs BUF
2. Denarius Moore vs TB
3. Jeremy Maclin @ NO (Monday night)

---different league---

Pick One at the Flex (.5/PPR)
1. Anquan Boldin @ CLE
2. Alex Green vs ARI


I appreciate any advice yall can offer!

[SepaGroove]

For the PPR league go with Dre Johnson v. BUF, and Maclin @ N.O.

I personally like starting RB's at my FLEX so I'd go with Alex Green v. AZ. Packers should get up pretty early and will want to run.

[icedKeg]

thanks Sepa. That's where I was leaning too. I like having a guy involved in the Monday night game. And I feel like Green is bound to go off for 100 yds or at least a TD at some point!

[LickTheLizzard]

Anyone else having problems with the Yahoo site today? It is running very slow and it keeps timing out on me.

[faxman75]

Same, haven't been able to get it to load all day.

[LickTheLizzard]

I tried to adjust my roster before game time to start Greg Olsen instead of Brandon Pettigrew. Didn't make it in time, if I lose because of that I am going to be pissed.

[bemerritt]

Yahoo apps have been no help today. The main site has been working though.

[ManImCool]

All of our rosters should be adjusted to give optimal lineups after this nonsense. That might be the "fairest" thing to do since this has negatively affected the majority of people.

[TickleMeElmo]

Tried putting in Danario Alexander over Brian Hartline last minute but wasn't too bummed at first. Then I got furious. Then I was okay because I won anyways.

You must have read that bleacherreport article.

I agree, that is so fucked. I had to sub in Greg Olsen for Aaron Hernandez and luckily did it right before the BS with Yahoo started.

It also turned out to be HUGE since Olsen got me 32 points in that league.

[SepaGroove]

I'll be attempting to roster Alexander in all formats.

He looked like V-Jax.

Bull motherfucking shit of shit are we adjusting everyone's teams to optimal lineup. Just because Cam Newton didn't have the game he should have doesn't mean that he gets a pass anyway because Andy Dalton was sitting on the bench and happened to have a great week.

[PlayaDelWes]

And no way in fuck was someone starting Ingrahm over anyone.

[TickleMeElmo]

He looked like V-Jax.

Coming from a Chargers fan, I was actually pretty excited when we signed him. He's a talented WR1 with great breakaway speed and is tough as hell. Well, except for his knees which has plagued his career and was the ultimate reason he was cut from the Rams. The Chargers desperately need a big #1 wideout and Meachem is a bust. Alexander fits the bill. I'll be crossing my fingers he'll stay healthy the rest of the year.

[Fourthisto]

Good grief, more shenanigans this year.

I made one change to the lineups based on a message I received requesting a lineup change of QB before the 1PM ET deadline. I put it through, and that change ended up costing that manager 7 points.

This has been a bad year for Yahoo. If this kind of thing happens again, by all means, send me a message before the lineups get locked and I can change your starting lineup after the fact. But keep in mind - there are no "takebacks".

agreed, bull motherfucking shit.

We apologize sincerely for the outage on Sunday. We are working on the fix—the site is stabilized—and will update everyone on next steps for how to handle week 10. Currently, data and scores can be viewed on our mobile apps but for now you cannot make transactions or change line-ups from the apps.

I can't even imagine what possible steps Yahoo could be coming up with to fairly address yesterday. No matter what, millions of people will be mad and there will be a giant asterisk on this week and most likely season.

So I could not get into yesterday to put in the defense I claimed off waivers. Obviously I was going to play a defense and not leave a slot empty. Am I just sol or fourthisto can you change this to reflect a d on my team
