OT 2018-2019 Rip City Two FANTASY FOOTBALL

Yes it is.

 

It's not that way? That's how I thought it was and how I prefer it. If its not set to that then I need to change the setting back because that's how it's been in years past and somehow it got switched.

 

From the settings link for our league - "Waiver Order Resets each week to inverse order of standings"

That means the team with the worst record (total pts being the tie break I'm assuming), will have the #1 spot on the waiver prioritization then subsequent worst to best. That's how I'm reading it.

 

Yeah that's how it should work but after you claim someone off of waivers you should get shuffled back. Made it seem like if you have the 1st priority all claims go through.

 

Correct. You don't get multiple waiver selections after your first acquisition. The flip side is the waiver priority is set by each awarded acquisition. As in, if I was awarded a player tonight, first, then I'll be last next week no matter what my record is. Two very different ways of managing the wire.

 

If your intent was to set the wire based on record each week, then you did it right. If that was not your intent, then you should change it.

 

Yeah ok it is how I wanted it lol

 

Yes that was my intent I misinterpreted what you meant.

 

The thread may be larger than last year, but that'll be due to the bickering and fighting and not about ACTUAL FOOTBALL DISCUSSION.

I never knew how truly important I was to this league until now and my absence has caused such a rift.

(Puffs out chest.)

I sure hope their still is a league to join again after the season.

 

We’ve talked football too, in between me asking dumb questions and inciting anger lol.

 

Yes during the games you guys do and that is enjoyable to read on my way to work Monday mornings.

Also I took this opportunity to self aggrandize and be a bit tongue in cheek.

 

so Football question for you guys. Is buffalo going to be this years Cleveland?
Peterman has been bad.
Josh Allen well the few times I saw him in college I was never impressed.

The problem outside of that is there’s not much around him. McCoy is the biggest name but he’s kind of old for a RB and they don’t have much of a n offensive line.
Point being that team could really struggle to put up points. This might be over-reacting to week 1. I just think that has the makings of a really bad team, with two young qb’s who are going to need good play around them.

So what’re you thoughts? I know this isn’t necessarily fantasy related.

 

The Bills are going to be terrible, they are on the clock now for the #1 pick. Whoever is playing them each week would be a good waiver wire defense.

 

Thanks for bringing that back to fantasy for me!

 

What's weird is other than Tyrod Taylor the team isn't that much different than last year so either Taylor is super underrated or it was just sone weird fluke last year.

 

The big thing that sticks out to me is the offensive line is way less experienced this year. The starters have a combined 21 years experience last year they had a combined 30, and last year they started a rookie, so the experience of the guys around him was pretty good.

They shouldn't be. Despite last week, they should have a top 10 defense and their running game skills be productive as well. They're one of those team that should be in games but won't be able to game back from anything more than a 7pt deficit. If they could throw the ball they'd be a solid playoff team.

 

It’s really, really hard to over come no passing game, and even harder to over come it when your passing to the other team a lot.
My dad has been saying for weeks Buffalo is going to be really bad, not that he hasn’t been wrong before.
Maybe this is disrespecting McCoy a bit, but I think at this point in his career asking him to be an every down back and carry the offense, when teams will be stacking the box seems like a tall order.

I find this an interesting discussion, I’m not even a bills fan, but they were a playoff team last year.

 

McCoy was fine last year. Yeah he'll decline, but he should still be solid. The defense needs to carry the offense.

 

You’re probably right, but Tyrod while not Tom Brady or anything was both a threat to run and a decent passer so I assume that helped McCoy to have a little extra room,
Obviously one week doesn’t make or break a season.
