Too bad you didn’t have Coles.
With the Giants on a bye, I am all Jets this week. Favre, Cotchery, Coles, Jones, Washington, Keller, (Open Spot), Feely, and New York.
Looks like I might actually win my matchup, which just adds insult to injury for the $44 Cooley guy.
Damn Kyle Orton’s black hearted soul.
Which would be me. Yes, that was embarrassing - but not as much as my other league, in which I made 2 substitutions from last week’s game (benching Stephen Jackson and Chris Johnson), turning a victory into a 33-point loss. At least in our league here, I would have lost no matter who I started.
I have an issue with resolving the waivers this week.
There’s an issue with Robert Meachem I need to resolve. He won’t be awarded yet but he’s not a free agent.
The issue is this, here’s the waiver claim list this week:
3 auction ryle ortman: TJ duckett, mcalister
6 auction spiritus: mcalister, mcclain
10 auction overly sentimental: mcalister, meachem
12 auction beef: meachem
I can’t remember for sure how we agreed to do it. Omni with waiver 3 gets Duckett, Spiritus with 6 gets McAlister - now Overly Sentimental with priority 10 picks before me, but his first pick was McAlister. Do I skip his McAlister pick because he’s already gone, and award him Meachem here? Or do we process it as all first claims are processed, then all second claims are processed, etc.?
I’m reasonably sure the latter is how we’ve done it in the past, but I’m not positive and I don’t want to award myself a player without being confident.
All first choices are awarded, then waiver priority is reset, then all second choices are awarded, etc. That’s why we have to list waiver claims in order of preference. Unless I’ve misunderstood the situation, you should get Meachem.
This is not how I do it in the keeper league, which is the system this one is based on.
He is higher priority than you, which means it stands to reason that he should get preference over you.
Conceptually, when a player is awarded, he disappears from everyone else’s wish list and everything is refigured from there. To put it another way, because McAllister is gone, Meachem is his first choice.
Agreed.
Oh, right. I missed the fact that Overly Sentimental missed out on McAllister. Yeah, Meachem is his first choice.
Is a one armed Carson Palmer better than Kyle Orton? And does a one legged Westbrook get the most carries?
Gah…
Standard yahoo D/ST scoring doesn’t include return TDs?
In the all pro league, I was credited with Philly’s return TD, but not in the auction league.
Correct, in standard Yahoo scoring you only get the return TD if you’re starting that player individually.
As a DeSean Jackson owner going against the Philly D in my big money league this week, that is fine with me.
Mundi, fix your roster. I don’t want to beat a team that’s half absent.
Also needing adjustment: RNATB (Matt Jones).
It’s kinda funny that the guy we were all worried would screw up our draft with random odd behavior is now kicking all our asses.
Thank you COoley High for starting a defense. SD’s -2 points was my margin of victory.
Plus that rushing TD by Peyton in the last minute of Monday Night Football… I can see getting beaten by Manning tossing a TD, but by his legs? Yuck.
Au contraire, mon ami, to the tune of 117 yards and a touchdown. His suspension will be delayed because he appealed. 
I just now noticed that we have a 4 player playoff setup. Did we ever discuss the issue? I had assumed that the default for a 12 man league was 6 players but I hadn’t given it any thought.
Should we debate changing it at this point? I’m not bringing this up because I’m in 4th, but because I was always under the impression we’d have a 6 man playoff.
I don’t have a strong opinion either way. I’m just shocked that my team is doing this terribly.
Either way works for me.
I really haven’t been paying much attention. Anyone know who is winning the league? Anyone?
As to playoffs, as long as we don’t play week 17, I’m flexible. I don’t think we talked about it, so either is good for me. If forced to vote, I’d go with the 6 team playoffs with byes for the #1 and #2 seeds and 3 weeks of playoffs.
I’ve never been in a Yahoo league that didn’t have the same structure: 4 playoff teams and four teams in the consolation bracket.
I don’t have a strong opinion, and it doesn’t matter at all to my cellar-dwelling team, but if forced to vote I’d go with 4 playoff teams. Having three rounds of playoffs adds an extra element of randomness to the final results, and increases the number of weeks with a lot of owners sitting on the sidelines.
