SBR Fantasy Football League I 2018

I'm rooting for Greaser. Unfortunately, he's kinda like the Buffalo Bills. Hardly makes the playoffs, and when he does, I suspect he's gonna get bounced round 1.

Let's hope not.

You're kinda like the seahawks

[grease lightnin]

Wait... the seahawks will make the playoffs....

Who was good and then just sucked really bad?

Denver

Denver

Ah yes. There you go.

You are like Denver

I have no idea how Klemopixx was able to make a transaction, I thought setting Lock Eliminated teams to YES prevented that from happening. Looks like Samuels should be awarded to CarolinaDaze, Daze, what was your corresponding move?

I sent you a copy of my email, where I tried to pick up Samuels as my #1 waiver wire add and was dropping Gerald Everett

[USCPHILLYGUY]

Good catch by LT though it could affect his other moves as it would drop his waiver ranking. Though I doubt anyone was rushing to get Detroit’s D on the road

Good luck to the quarterfinal participants this week

I’m in a league that has an interesting concept...once the playoffs come, the waiver wire reverses and the #1 team gets the first waiver wire selection. This way you are actually rewarded (not punished) for being the top team.

Unfortunately I don’t think yahoo software supports this. I’d also be on board to using FAAB for the waivers process.

[LT Profits]

Klem's roster has been re-set, meaning that the immortal Jonnu Smith is not available as a free agent.
CarolinaDaze roster has been updated, adding Samuels, dropping Chris Everett.

Rosters of all non-Playoff teams have now been locked, as the playoffs progress, I will do the same for each losing team.

As the team that picked 12th in the waiver wire process all year I think this rule would make a lot of sense. During the regular season it makes sense to give the weakest teams the best chance to improve, but once the playoffs start there are no longer any weak teams.

Not a totally accurate statement but I agree on the waiver position There should be a reward for getting a 1 or 2 seed

Is there still points rewarded for high score each week once the playoffs started?

[klemopixx]

My bad, I just saw the paragraph in Post #1. Sorry LT.

[LT Profits]

If this is what you thought, then we understand why you tried to do it and we all forgive you.

All good, no worries.

Dropped Chris Everett, does he have Steffi Graff on his roster too?

That was intentional, as was referring to Jonnu as immortal.

LT any “official” reason Samuel is listed as a TE / RB by yahoo? It’s being reported by Pittsburgh he’s the starting RB this week. Seems like you could use him as a additional flex position.

[grease lightnin]

Uh, yes. I would think he should not be allowed on roster as a TE if he is listed as an RB

[USCPHILLYGUY]

Think they did same thing last year with Ty Montgomery as a WR / RB. They eventually fixed it. Problem this year is that’ it’s the playoffs

He has been listed that way since preseason, same way that Tavon Austin is listed as RB/WR. Think it just comes from how they are listed from the team's depth chart. In past seasons Ty Montgomery was listed as RB/WR too.

Tripper I’m not disputing how he’s listed. It just seems to be a unfair advantage. You can potentially have a guy in your TE spot rush 20 times for 110 yards. In effect having a extra flex position. Like the Montgomery situation hopefully yahoo will correct it. There are no rules being broken so it is what it is.

Myself and the james Conner owners are hoping for a quick recovery.

If I remember, the Montgomery thing wasn't changed until the next season. The guy's never been a real RB even in college, mostly a FB/blocking TE. It seems pretty rare and it usually only happens when a guy comes in because of injury or desperation, this one just comes at a real important time, fantasy wise.

Good post. My only concern with Pittsburgh is making sure Big Ben throws the ball 40x a game. I guess is philly decided to run Ertz then so be it. Good luck this week.

I think Ben is going to be throwing the ball a lot more. I checked on Samuels stats, not much of a RB, averaged only 4 carries/game in college, so hard to say what kind of impact to expect from him.

Thanks, gonna need some luck. Jakes got Brees and after getting shutdown by the Cowboys last week and losing the shootout against the Bucs in the 1st game, I'm afraid Brees gonna be angry and end up going 500/6.

There is really nothing we can do if that is how Yahoo officially lists him, and it is not only Yahoo, as that is how he is listed at some other sites too. This is not a case of a guy being listed at a wrong position, which can be disputed,but rather a guy that has been used at both positions and appeared on depth chart at both positions at start of year.

I got Samuel in three 3 of 4 playoff leagues as I put 75% (or more) of my FAAB on him. So I’m ok with Conner resting.

[grease lightnin]

Great now dazer has him in as a TE.

What a motherfukking crock of shit

[CarolinaDaze]

The fact he has been dual eligible ALL YEAR means that it is absolutely fair that people can play him at the TE spot !!!!

The salty people who are complaining, either couldn't pick him up or playing against him this week.

Let's call it what it is : A Brilliant Fantasy Football Move.

Actually.... the only people not complaining are those who picked him up and those who don’t have to play against him this week.

It’s pretty easy to tell why nobody is complaining but me in this league. People want to bash philly all the time but he is a stand up guy.

This topic is blowing up on Twitter. Many league commissioners are saying this is the straw that broke the camel’s back and are leaving yahoo over this after this season. LT says he is dual eligible on other sites..... what other sites??? I am reading Yahoo is the only one.

LT, I am curious, are you playing Samuels in the TE spot in another SBR League?

Bottom fukking line is Dazer is getting one week of two flex’s in the first round of the playoffs against the top scoring team in the league and everybody is just fine with it.

It is a motherfukking CROCK OF SHiT

[grease lightnin]

And Samuels IS NOT dual eligible on yahoo daily fantasy, he is an RB. What fukking bullshit.

I really do not get what the debate here is, because there is no debate. Samuels has been TE eligible all season right from the get-go and he could have been picked up and used as a TE at any point. The fact that he is now a valuable starting running back changes nothing because he ALREADY qualified as a tight end, changing positions in the current season does not take away the other position's eligibility.

Greaser, you are a fantasy veteran so I am sure you have seen this before, going all the way back to the days of Rod Bernstine with the Chargers way back when. This is no different than starting Ty Montgomery at WR when he became the starting RB of a high-powered Green Bay offense. It is what it is and no rules are being broken, I am pretty sure anyone including you would use Samuels at tight end if he was on the roster.

[LT Profits]

And Samuels IS NOT dual eligible on yahoo daily fantasy, he is an RB. What fukking bullshit.

Because that is DAILY. It is not the same thing as season-long because Samuels qualified as tight end during the season, that does not apply to daily/weekly leagues. Come on greaser, you are better than this.

[LT Profits]

And I thought I saw Samuels as RB/TE at rtsports too, where I play money leagues, but on second look he does not. But that is irrelevant, it only means they had him as RB only all along. The only thing that matters is he qualified as tight end under whatever criteria Yahoo uses, and it was not as if they hid fact that he qualified there for the world to see. That qualification does not go away during the season, nor should it. It would actually be more unfair to take away eligibility in-season, just like multi-position players in fantasy baseball.
