I'm surprised there isn't more chatter in this league...I guess I should do my part!

Wiggs, great performance this week. I'm just glad that most of my guys were on a bye week, so my expectations were low. Boy, you blew me away though! I need better IDP's and more consistency from my RB's.

My turn to get chewed through the buzz saw known affectionately as Wiggs.

And me missing my star QB and a couple RBs.

It will have to be the Schobel Show, I guess.

What happened to the schedule. There's like 4 teams I don't even play, and another 4 I play twice. Why can't we play everyone at least once. We're missing out on some good grudge matches.

Yeah. That is weird. Even within my own division it's unbalanced. I only play tila once, and Wiggs twice! No fair.

Worse, I don't get to beat up on that chump B7.

looks like that for whatever reason, Yahoo "balance" its divisional schedule with:

four intra-division opponents played twice.
one intra-division opponent played once.
four out of division opponents played once.

that leaves three teams you're not gonna play.

seems to me they should have really programmed the thing so you play everyone in your division twice, and then have the rest of the games out of division.

Can we change it. Even if it means getting rid of these arbitrary divisions.

not for this season. once the season started, we were stuck with the two division format.

as commish, i could manually change each week's schedule, but that seems like a lot of work, and something that's not fair at this point.

Arrrrrgh!

I have no one but myself to blame for this loss. My starting RBs combined didn't add up to either of the benched RBs individually.

Playoff hopes fading.

If anyone needs running backs to solidify their backfield for the playoffs, make me an offer. I've got too many, and most have starting jobs and seem to hitting on all cylinders lately.

Looking for a top-5 receiver or high draft picks.

Addai, Mendenhall, Pierre, Fred Jackson, Lynch, Forsett...

Peyton and and Tony Gonzalez also available.

Some of those RB will cost you a pretty penny, some can be had cheaply.

Make an offer.

I'm looking for a RB to finish the season. I can trade a draft choice for next year. A non-keeper type would be preferred. So if you are out of the playoffs, you have nothing to lose and everything to gain by improving your draft for next season and trading me a RB you don't plan on keeping. I'm setting the over/under on emails I will receive at one email.

Looks like its going down to the wire with little decided, except for a handful of teams that have been eliminated. Just like last year. Good luck to everyone in the playoffs.

crazy how the match-ups come down to the wire. Tax, I think you would have moved on to the playoffs if Ray Rice hadn't fumbled.

Despite a horrible week, I'm looking forward to the playoffs. Good luck to all.

Yeah, I knew we were letting Marshall slip too far and I was certainly overconfident enuff of reaching the playoffs to pick him and hold him till the playoffs...

But I've also had a lotta exposure to Orton. I blame the horrendous Bear Offensive coordinators.

Gratz Wiggs.

It was a very rough weekend for me. It took everything London Fletcher could do to squeek out a win over PV but I lost in my two other leagues.

The galling part is that a large part of that was the failure of Arizona to score well against Detroit in a playoff week.

Best laid plans and all that. Fantasy Football is cruel.

I am really confused with the waivers in this league. I 100 percent had harrison as my number 1 request, I am the 5 seed and Tree is the 2 seed. How does he get him over me? Do I become the higher seed because I beat the 1 seed?

I 100 percent had harrison as my number 1 request, I am the 5 seed and Tree is the 2 seed.

it's based on weekly rolling standings, but i'm not sure if that freezes going into the playoffs, and it just becomes rolling for the duration of the playoffs.

i checked yesterday, and i do know i had a higher priority than you. i believe i was 10, and you were 12.

found this in the Yahoo help file:

Please note that the ranking of teams in the league standings has no bearing on the waiver priority list.

The waiver list begins as the inverse of your draft order. Each time a player is added via WAIVERS, the team that adds the player is moved to the bottom of the waiver priority list.

This rolling list remains in effect for the remainder of the season, including the fantasy playoffs in a Head-to-Head league.


i presumed it re-set weekly. i guess it does not.
