I'm nearly finished setting the schedule for the year. But you can already put in your starters for both games. MAKE SURE YOU SET A LINEUP FOR BOTH GAMES.

and here's repost from Judy, email will be forwarded in a minute.

I have set up a CBS pick the winners pool (weighted picks) for the AAA1/2 managers. If you
want to join us, shoot me an email and I will send you an invitation.

No money involved, just pride!

Russelld if you start a new thread can you put this in it?

BOO to fanball for not generating a double header schedule. Putting in the schedule blows. It should be done tonight.

I never got a response from Russell on why we still can't pick up Free Agents. I thought the players were supposed to be free to acquire after Wednesday at noon, but I am still unable to add players. Because of this I don't have a kicker still, and was not able to set my lineup in time for today's game.

And yeah the slowness of Fanball only adds to my frustration.

If we're able to change it, I'm fine with swapping Jacobs for White. If he wasn't able to set his lineup due to lacking a kicker, that's a good enough reason. Plus, yeah, Jacobs would be starting over White normally.

Obviously he wasn't able to set his lineup without a kicker, and since he was unable to pick up a kicker I think it
should be alright that he can name who he wants in his lineup. And since Jacobs was his 3rd round pick and he's
healthy it would only make sense that he'd start him over Lendale.

I have no problem with it.

all players are locked until wed when waivers are processed. You could have picked anyone up until 5 minutes before their kickoffs.

Just a heads up: this is from the RIFC thread and it happens to affect me :-/

Ref: "Looks like Fanball just changed Suggs from a DL to a LB. I have him in AAA1, but even though it's calling him a LB, he is still in the DL slot and thus far s still showing my lineup as legal. Haven't looked to see if they've done the same thing with Justin Smith or not. Hopefully, it won't matter as I'd have never drafted Suggs if he was listed as a LB."

Guru: "Suggs. Ugh.

Our past policy on position changes is that a player may continue to be used at the position he was listed at in the draft. So, Suggs may continue to be used as a DL.

Unfortunately, this requires some messiness. Fanball does not allow me to adjust a player's position eligibility. So, I will have to change the stated rules to allow no DL, and administer this manually. Each team will still be required to start at least one DL (with Suggs considered a DL), even though the site will not disallow a lineup with no DL. I'll just have to make sure everyone complies."

Russell, I thought I'd let you know that I'd like to continue to use Suggs as a DL so you'll have to change the league settings so that it allows for 0 DL to be started and 5 LBs. We'll also have to monitor every team each week, to make sure that everyone has a DL started (unless it's Suggs, or any other player who might change positions).

Sorry to cause this messiness, I was kind of hoping Fanball would keep him DL all year even though he's really a LB. Should I also mention that I have Justin Smith too, a DL who played some LB yesterday...

Oh yah, and Burleson is now out for the year. Great, Hasselbeck is looking worse and worse.

Well Promize, I doubt you want to go without a kicker this week and Vinatieri is on bye. You have one on the bench so I am pretty sure that Russell could set your lineup and put in Prater.

Just in case you can't get in and you want to set your lineup here's what you've go going this week.

QB D. McNabb, PHI
RB L. Tomlinson, SD
RB J. Stewart, CAR
WR M. Jones, JAC
WR L. Fitzgerald, ARI
WR L. Coles, NYJ ARI
TE R. McMichael, STL
PK A. Vinatieri, IND (BYE)
Def Jaguars
DL K. Vanden Bosch, TEN
LB D. Jackson, CLE
LB D. Ryans, HOU
LB L. Fletcher, WAS
LB M. Peterson, JAC
DB R. Barber, TB

Bench Players
QB A. Rodgers, GB
QB M. Ryan, ATL
RB D. Sproles, SD
RB C. Perry, CIN
WR D. Avery, STL
WR M. Colston, NO
PK M. Prater, DEN
Def Redskins

Miss State Bullfrogs doesn't have a starting defense which is an illegal roster. I'm not 100% positive, but I am pretty sure you can't win, or score points, with an illegal roster. I may be confusing my leagues, but I think you have to adjust his score to a 0. It sucks because it hurts my PA, but in the long run it doesn't matter.

Just checked Fanball before heading to bed to see that Winfield all of a sudden doesn't have credit for his TD off the FG block. If that doesn't get restored on their end, it's going to need to be changed manually.

I also find it funny that Gurudan started 2 different lineups this week. I beat one and lost to the other. Lucky for him he started the right one in my game.

Wow, Bush is far surpassing anything I thought he would do. That really makes up for the bust McGahee was. Going into tonight I thought 1-1 was a possibility, and after Shiancoe caught that TD I turned off the game, since Bush had done nothing. Turn on SportsCenter and see that he has 250 all purpose yards, and I nearly fell out of my chair. I'll go 0-2 next week though, it's the way my team is...

Im not sure how it let him do it either but it appears that he has now fixed it. I emailed guru and his suggestion was to leave it as just a zero for that slot, considering he had a DEF on the bench that scored points. Had his bench DEF scored negative then I would have inserted them. If he had no bench DEF, then I would have given him a zero for the whole week.

GUH!!! So many bad choices this week. Let's count them...

1. Thinking a banged up Reggie Bush would do better than a slumping McGahee. Cost me 12.2 points

2. Dominik Hixon/Andre Davis over Josh Cribbs. I though San Fran would allow more passing yards. Cost me 10.7 points.

3. Starting Justin Smith over Terrell Suggs. Again I thought San Fran would allow more passing yards. I thought the Giants would throw the ball and allow Smith to get to Eli at least once. Cost me 16.5 points.

I'm going to lose one game by tenths of a point so any one of those will cost me the win and if I make all the right choices then I win both games since I would have score 34.9 more points... :(

Don't beat yourself up too much about our game. I left 21 points on the bench with my defense (glad I took the Chargers D so early, they're doing so well...), the DE I picked up to cover my bye hardly played and put up 0 points, and I still have Cutler going.

That .24 loss though...ouch.

The Giants D didn't receive credit from Fanball for the safety yesterday (snap over the punter's head). Looking at our scoring, it looks like they should have. I'll adjust it on tuesday if fanball doesn't catch it. (assuming that would be the correct scoring, I'll run it by guru.) Let me know if you disagree.

Here's hoping my luck stays positive.

Jaydog, I'm hoping Clinton Portis isn't seriously hurt. If he's not then I think this will be a good match up this week. Who would have thought that Pennington would only be 1 point per game behind Peyton.

Wow... my points against is almost 300 points below the next lowest. Some call it luck, some call it a stout defense.

At least my points for have crept up into third place.

<--- Denver Broncos of RIFC.

Most points for, Most points against :)

Anyhow...looking to move one of my 4 starting running backs for an upgrade @ TE.

I have Marshawn Lynch, Tim Hightower, D'Angelo Williams, and Maurice Jones-Drew.

Get at me!

Actually, the trade deadline is supposed to be 11/14 11:30 EST. On the league page it says tomorrow. I guess we need to have that changed in case anyone does end up making a trade in the last week before the deadline.

Anyone want Torry Holt? He's been absolutely great this year! :-P

I'd like to thank Clinton Portis for being an absolute monster, and Reggie Bush and Willis McGahee for trading off halves of seasons so far. You three have saved my team from being 4-14 this year.

I'll update the site regarding the trade deadline. Even if I dont get it done on the fanball site, email me any trades and I will be sure they get done prior to game starts.
Also, if you are worried about a last minute trade getting done, email the trade to me AND who you intend to start that week. That way if something happens and it needs to be corrected retroactively we'll have some record of what you wanted.
Email me if you have any issues.

Yeah Kyle, Portis has had a solid year. It kind of bugs me, because I had him targetted as my realistic pick at #7. I also had Brady and any of the top 5 RBs in mind, in case they fell. Ended up with S. Jackson, who's been missing time, and Portis would be a pretty nice upgrade over him. But I can't really complain, since I also could have ended up with the Brady disaster.

And Slizz, no problem. I think I may reconsider my offer anyways, after this weekend's games.

These Thursday night games are brutal for fantasy.

I'd like to wait until Sunday to make my RB decision, but I need to decide on Leon Washington by tonight. Further complicating things are the health of Warrick Dunn and Earnest Graham which may be undecided until Sunday. As much as I love an extra day of football, its a pain in the neck for us fantasy managers.

Not sure why, but Green Bay hasn't been credited for a fumbled returned for a TD (no points for fumble or TD). I saw it on the highlights but noticed it wasn't there on the scoring. It's in the NFL Gamebook as well, which is official.

Not going to affect the outcome of either of my games, but I'd like to get the points fixed if Fanball doesn't update it tomorrow. Never know when total points might come in handy.

Also, it's pretty dead around here.

Actually, after looking, the points could affect the outcome of one game, if the other team's two players have big games. So I'd definitely like to get this taken care of.

It looks like fanball made the correction on their own. Let me know if it still seems off, Bonka. They seem to do an update on Tuesday mornings, particularly on the defenses.
By the way, I have internet access once again.

Sitting in 6th place in the league and 7th in points is an uneasy feeling, but at least right now I have the ability to control my own playoff fate. If I make it into the tourney though it will not be on the back of my stellar WRs. My #2 and #3 WR have been a whos-who of underachievers and backup scrubs. I have to say Torry Holt has been the biggest disappointment of any season I've ever had. He's going to join Santana Moss and Lee Evans to make a triumvirate of Fantasy Players I'll never own again. Congrats on the great career Mr. Holt, I'll never see you again. Here's your jacket now get out of my life.

Yeah, I hear ya. I never have much luck here myself. The one year I played in the main league I just didn't have a good year. Didn't help that Javon Walker, my 3rd round pick, played 1 game that season. The following year I took Portis in the first round, and he started 7 games. The year after that (last year) I took Maroney in the 1st round, who turned out to be a big bust on top of missing 3 games. I also took Walker again in the 3rd (a whole 5 games started) and Ladell Betts in the 4th thinking Portis would be injury plagued. Now this year S. Jackson has started a whole 6 games.

Despite my setbacks this year, I can say this is the strongest team I've fielded the last 3 years and am confident going into the playoffs. As long as I don't have any key injuries, I think I have a good shot at making the championship game.

Even my keeper league team, which was by far the worst last year, is still in the playoff hunt. It's nice to be able to enjoy fantasy football a little more than I have the past few years.

Yah, unless I win this week in the Auction League I am done (which sucks because my team is just now getting healthy, and I feel I could make some noise in the playoffs) and my friends league is inexplicably in 2nd place (my top 4 draft picks missed at least 2 game, and Mewelde Moore has carried my team). This is by far my weakest team, and I've got very low expectations come playoff time. We'll see what happens though, you never know how the ball will bounce.

Well, playoffs are here. Seems pretty dead though.

Seeds should be:

1 Bursar Sac
2 gurudan
3 vampireslayer
4 Gangsta Grizzilz
5 Bonka Bombers
6 Kyle's Enhanced Performers
7 Sandwich Statics
8 PromizeDawgs

I think russeldl has to manually enter the playoff bracket though, so nothing is on the site yet.

Pretty sure all QB/RB/WR/DEF players locked in after their games last week. So any moves made today have to be reversed. Only teams in the playoffs are allowed to make moves with their TE/K/IDPs, consolation teams are not. Going to email russelldl to make sure he's aware of what needs to be changed.

Also, going to paste this from one of TD's posts for another RIFC league:

The Championship bracket will not be reseeded each round. Single elimination.

For the Consolation bracket, the losing team with the best score in round 1 will advance, along with
the three winners. Matchups will shift only if necessary to prevent a duplicate pairing in the second
week.

Players at the primary skill positions (QB, RB, WR) and team defenses may not be added for any reason
during the playoffs. Free agents at these positions will be locked out after the final regular season
game. You may drop a player at one of these positions, but once dropped, that player cannot be
added later.

Players at the other positions (TE, PK, IDP) may be added or dropped according to normal regular
season guidelines, subject to playoff claiming priorities, if applicable.

If a playoff game ends in a tie score, the team with the better seed shall advance.

Teams which are not still active in the Championship playoffs may not make any transactions -
adds or drops - even if they are still competing in the Consolation bracket.

All add/drop restrictions musty be administered manually, so please pay attention!

Claims and waivers will operate normally for teams eligible to make moves. Priorities will initally be
reset based on playoff seed, with the top seed getting the top priority. Thereafter, throughout the
playoffs, priorities will again adjust only when a claim is awarded.

Bonka is correct. I'll set the brackets tonight. There's no way for me to lock some moves and not others, so please be aware of the rules. If you make an illegal move (or already have) it will be reversed.

Why did Richard Seymour get dropped. I picked him up earlier this week and when I went to check my roster this morning he was dropped yesterday? Did the commish do this for me?

I was under the impression that IDP's can be added and dropped during the playoffs.

2 minor things:
Apparently I set up the consolation bracket differently than RIFC rules.
We have 6 teams so I gave a bye to the top two. Its supposed to be 3 games with the all 3 winners and the highest scoring loser all advancing. I'll try to get that fixed prior to the start of games today but I don't have much time.
Second, Dreamin's team (miss state), keeps adding and dropping players despite the rule against it and despite my attempts to put things back. I'll move the players back asap but I'm not sure I will have that done prior to opening kickoff. If this has any effect on your roster, please email me right away so we have some record of it. I don think it will effect anyone and I'll have it worked out before claims get processed this week.
Sorry for the mistakes.

Yeah, after Williams ran his 2nd TD in I said I sure was lucky you didn't play the right RBs. Gates and Ward combined for .2 points. The Cardinal's D stepped up huge.

All but 1 of the top 4 seeds got knocked off.

Yea...it was a problem of mine all season. I would've thought Lynch vs the Dolphins and I'm surprised how little Hightower did vs that crappy STL defense!

Even so...you gotta give Gates at least 10-15 points b/c for him not to get a catch is an anomaly. Ward? not so much.

Hines is either really awesome, or really crappy...as i'm sure you've experienced all year. There is no in between.

Good luck in the semi's.

Good game, vampireslayer. You put up a pretty awesome week to beat me. I was hoping for Portis to do something special for me, but that wasn't going to happen. I think I get to be called back up to AAA though so the season wasn't a complete failure. Now last year was a COMPLETE failure...
