Talk about your teams, fish for trades, discuss the NFL, whatever.

I have reset the waiver order. It is the reverse of the draft slot picking order. It will roll all season. If someone could check that would be great.

Judy - there is no rolling waiver priority from week to week. We use blind bidding.

The "waiver priority" order only matters for the pre-draft period to break bidding ties. After that, ties are broken by standings.

The calendar currently has FCFS waivers starting on Thursday 8:30 P.M. That's when the first game starts, and might be a little too late for people who want players on the teams playing! I believe they should be for some time the day before, a few hours after the blind bidding period closes on Wednesday at 8 P.M., like they are on every other week.

$51 for West? Wow... I was going to offer $4, but my better judgement won out.

I thought I removed that. Put the thing in when Justinn Forsette was cut, then when saw him resigned I was certain I removed it. Don't know what happened there but I will live with it. Used $ very little last season.

Kind of funny how the four teams who went 2-0 last week are all done scoring for the week and, unless someone has a huge game tonight, look to be the top 4 scoring teams over two weeks.

It's only been two weeks, but my team is bad. I mean, really, really bad. Three of my first four picks are already hurt to some degree.

2 close wins! Cosmic payback for my missing the news that Jamaal Charles WASN'T healthy, and that I should pick up Spencer Ware, by ELEVEN MINUTES.

It figures I would have my best week since 2013 after proclaiming my team to be the worst of all time. Even so, I am in big trouble at the RB position. I am willing to trade Desean Jackson for a similar point gainer at RB.

RB's are at a premium right now.I'm happy with mine but I need one that doesn't have a week 8 bye.I've got some good QB's that could be packaged with a RB, but I'll need a good RB in return.

If you were over .500 you had a rough week this week. It looks like the top 5 teams are going to go a combined 2-8. I saw how poorly my team was doing this week and was pleased to see the top of the league was doing the same.

Wilson is damaged goods. Siemien looks like the real deal and is playing a poor Bucs defense. Riiiiight.

I have Marcus Siemian available for anyone needing a QB in the next two crazy 6-team bye weeks. Looking for pretty much anything useful at his point.

I have temporarily disabled all manager abilities to submit waiver claims, pending set up of the playoff brackets. Once bracket teams are confirmed, those managers will be able to submit claims. Teams not active in the championship bracket are no longer permitted to make any add/drop transactions.

This week's blind bidding is deferred to Thursday at 3pm, which is the normal timing for playoff weeks.

Hopefully, Judy will get this all set up by tonight. I've offered to assist/review as needed.

Well that was the worst RIFC season ever. Holy crap. To get there, I pretty much had the worst RIFC draft ever. I had the best linebackers... Is that something? I don't know.

Last night was one of those, why it hurts to play fantasy football moments for me.

I was up by not a ton of points, with two BAL IDPs going, while facing off against Tom Brady. Being a PATS fan... this put me in a tough situation on Monday night in a rivalry game.

In the end, all worked out... (NE won & I won my matchup) but it didn't feel good when the Weddle interception gave me some relief.

Not sure how GURU chooses who stays. Think it is the top 8. Winner goes to rifc I think.

BTW: information about the consolation bracket:

The consolation gets reseeded after the first round with the top four teams playing off and the two bottom ones, based on points, playing for 13/14 place which taxman and beans did last weekend.

MFL, WTF happened last night? I successfully got awarded 2 bids and both players (RB Perkins, LB Freeman) were added to my active lineup. yes, my active lineup. you even removed my 2 starting RB's from my active lineup and put the 2 newly acquired players in. how is it even possible to have an active lineup that contains only 1 RB (who I don't want to play this week) and 4 LB's ?

this all would have been no problem, but Perkins played last night and scored for my team. I don't want his points, I want those of Murray and Kelley. luckily both of them play on Saturday, otherwise I would be screwed.

any idea what happened here and how to solve this?

in the meantime I changed my lineup to include RB Murray instead of LB Burfict to be valid in the spirit of the league. But I still want Kelley instead of Perkins.

I just took Perkins out of the lineup and put in Kelley.

Not sure how/why that happened.

deepsnapper, congratulations as well. our match was pretty much over at halftime of the 1st games on Saturday. your players showed up and mine did not. the remaining players continued that trend. losing by 74 pts looks bad.

I hope finishing 4th and reaching the final will be good enough to finally be back to the big league next season.

Re: 39

I would also like to know whether the playoff result changes my season placing (I am at the 4th place at the time the "regular season" concluded and at the 3rd place after week 16).

Thanks for the props IaC, YR & Judy! Who knew drafting from The #2 spot would work so well?

Thanks to Judy for being the Commish and wrangling us up and keeping us on track. Thanks too for our league being so competitive this year.

On to NFL playoffs and finishing the "real" NFL [layoffs. HAPPY 2017 NEW YEAR!

One thing I love about Judy's leagues is she keeps everyone playing through the playoffs. It was fun watching my team play better down the stretch, even if I had been out of the running since Halloween.

Historically the top 3 regular season finishers move on to RIFC, plus the winner if that is a team outside the top 3. The qualifiers for AAA I am not as sure about. Hopefully my Toilet Bowl finish gets me in? Haha.
