Guru, do you have any overall stats for all the RIFCs to date? Not trying to create extra work for you yet I was curious.

was MFL down for you as well? it still doesn't look right for me.

some thoughts about my team:
1st week not even completed yet and I already lost 2 backups for extended periods: Skelton may be back in October and David Nelson is out for the season.

the Nelson injury could help my backup TE Scott Chandler and Skelton wasn't a good choice anyway and bound to get dropped early, so I did not lose much other than I could have invested in healthier talent with my late draft picks.

My score this week looks promising as it seems I will start 2-0.

[1] Not sure what you mean by overall stats. The answer is probably "no," but you can link to the final results for each year from the league link in the opening post.

Obviously, the average league stats aren't comparable from year to year, since we've had changes in scoring formulas (and we also had team defenses until 2011).

trying to figure the bidding process out. Looks like they are prioritized by the amount that I bid and not by what position they are on on my list. I had some other players higher on my list than the guys that I ended up, but I had put lower bids on them. So moving guys up and down in the list is a waste of time, right?

TB
ID: 451028614
Wed, Sep 12, 2012, 13:06

It's the priority you want the claims so as an example if I made the claims:
Add Sanchez, Mark NYJ QB and drop Weeden, Brandon CLE QB - 16 bucks
Add Nicholas, Stephen ATL LB and drop Weeden, Brandon CLE QB - 7 bucks
Add McKelvin, Leodis BUF CB and drop Weeden, Brandon CLE QB - 6 bucks

I am only going to get one of those players because once I dump Weeden they other claims are invalid. If I moved the order around and instead had McKelvin for 6 bucks at the top, I would have won him (based on this weeks results) and you would have still won Nicholas (again, based on this weeks results) with your 6 dollar bid.

"Order only matters when it's comparing bids of the same value."

That's exactly how it looks to me. TB, I think that you would have won Sanchez even if he was lower on your list than McKelvin, due to Sanchez having the higher bid price. That's what happened with my list. So bid prices need to be based not only on the need to outbid other teams, but also to prioritize your own list.

Fwiw, I didn't limit my picks to 1 player to be dropped. I ended up entering 33 bids on 12 different players. 12 players I wanted, & 3 players I was willing to drop to get them. I could have limited myself to just one IDP add if I had just used A. Dent as a drop for all of my IDP bids. But, I was willing to add 3 IDP's if EVERY one of my offensive player bids fell through, so I did use two offensive players as additional drop options for my IDP bids. The thing is, I wanted my offensive bids to have higher priority. I thought putting them higher on my list would do that but it didn't. The way for me to have gotten WR's instead of the IDP's would be for me to bid more for them.

This is getting difficult to explain.

What I'm trying to say is: the #2, 3, 4, 5, and 6 guys that I wanted are still available. I didn't win any of them because I only bid $2 for each of them. I ended up with 3 IDP who were at the bottom of my list because I had $3 to $5 bids on them.

Why did I bid less for players that I wanted more? Greater supply of them.

Why did I enter 3 different drop players for my IDP adds if I only wanted to add 1 IDP? Because I didn't know if I'd win any of those offensive players, and I was willing to add 3 IDP if every single offensive bid fell through.

Long story short, I think I understand how the process works now. To have full control over who I add, I need to base my bid amounts not only on supply/demand but also on priority of who I want to add.

Sorry for the long post. I'm just thinking this through.

Gentlemen - I just got a message from jzapps (Graham Crackerz). He was making transactions from his phone this afternoon, and inadvertently dropped Josh Freeman. He didn't realize the error until Swinganamiss picked up Freeman a couple hours later.

My inclination is to give him back Freeman, as it seems pretty clear that this wasn't his intent. Figured I'd pass this by everyone else first.

And, if he does this again, I won't be so accommodating.

YR, I felt like I had to lean towards the high side with Sanchez, because I was in a lot of trouble (with Weeden) if Romo missed more than his bye week. As far as Ogletree goes, I went even higher for him in two other leagues. I feel good about my starting 3 WR and don't even plan on starting Ogletree this week, but he is filling the Laurent Robinson role from last season (almost 900 yards and 11 TD's), he gives me another solid option at that position, having him keeps him away from my competition, and if every single starting RB was injured tomorrow every single player who we currently know and think that could be counted on to provide a decent amount of weekly fantasy points is already rostered so I figured I might as well spend early. Besides, Baldwin didn't look like he was completely healthy, he's now got some dental issues, and it looks like Wilson is going to go through some rookie growing pains. I feel better having someone with a proven passer.

On the flip side, I am used to blind bidding in a 16-team league with 30-man rosters so those week 1 surprise players that went undrafted are usually the best value claims for the season. There might be a player or two who emerges further along in the season that I miss out on, but there will be a couple teams who look back on the season with most of their money still on hand who will wish they bid a bit more for that player or two who they really wanted.

There are still plenty of good options for every starting IDP option available in our league and I wanted more offensive depth. I didn't really need Woodyard, but I watched that game and was impressed with his athleticism and speed. I think out of all the high scoring undrafted IDP this year, he is the most likely to continue to have solid weekly scores.

Guru, I think I show up 2nd in the standings due to 1-0 record in H2H. Since points is the tiebreaker now, I believe I should be down in 6th.

Actually, when I look at "Tiebreakers for Standings" I am 2nd and "Tiebreakers for Waivers" I am 6th, so maybe it's OK. I assume the rule of " Ties will be broken in favor of the current standings (with applicable tiebreakers), worst-to-first." refers to the Tiebreakers for Waivers, and that FAAB tiebreakers will use that list.

As a Raider fan, I like the replacement refs. Welcome to my world. I think on just about every play you could call holding on an offensive lineman or illegal contact/pass interference on a DB. For many years I've watched game after game where they are just randomly called and usually it's on a critical third down play that goes against my team; either killing our drive or extending the competitions drive. Everybody says, "That's just the Raiders, undisciplined football.” Or they just like to tell us to buck up and that refs didn’t cost us the game and good teams can overcome those calls. Every new Raider coach for the last 20 years has had to address penalties and swears they are going to fix the problem. Dennis Allen isn’t some genius that figured it out and we didn’t get an entire new crop of players. No, the only difference is we have unbiased refs without any prejudice calling the games. Sure, they make mistakes just like the regular refs do, but their mistakes are under a microscope right now. I’m going to try and find the stat I was reading yesterday about Quarterbacks who have the highest 3rd down conversion due to defensive penalties, but it really wasn’t a surprise to see all the NFL golden boys at the top of the list.

I hope the regular refs never come back.

That is true for a couple games, while many I have watched seemed to flow just fine. I believe it is also compounded by the media taking every opportunity to blast them for every mistake, which of course makes them want to be more cautious with their calls.

I sure hope that when the regular refs come back we can track all of their terrible mistakes. Oh wait, we can and it's called youtube. There are hundreds of videos posted of terrible calls by the regular refs.

I just dropped Chris Johnson rather than Javon Ringer. The mistake is entirely my fault (although my wife and kids interrupting didn't help), but I wasn't sure if there was any precedence for this.

If it is simply, to bad, so sad. I'm fine with that, but if a commish feels that it was a transaction made in error, I would appreciate it being reversed and Johnson started.

I am in my office with power and Internet, but still no power at home. Inside temp of 57 F is brisk!! We were lucky this year as Sandy only took out multiple trees, some siding, gutters and part of the deck. Last year 2 trees fell on my roof during the peak of Irene causing water to go from the roof to the basement.The damage and inconvenience were extensive, but insurance covered most it. The biggest problem ended up fighting with the insurance company to pay. They initially sent us a check for $32K which was half of the cost of the repairs. We had to hire a public adjuster in order to get enough money to pay for the repairs. State Farm was not a good neighbor.

So Holt has AP go off for 31 points and still is -20 on points, compared to his opponents RB.

Has a fantasy player ever broken 50 points before? A QB with 6 TDs and a ton of yards?

I managed to pull a trifecta of 3 players playing, yet not scoring a single point. At least Chris Johnson managed to finish with positive points. When I checked on him earlier, he had -1.2. Which sadly, wasn't that big of a surprise.

Rotowire had them closely in the range between 45 (Gibson) and 57 (Blackmon) with Robinson at 49. not really accurate either.

at least they had Bess ranked higher as Givens. I played Givens who scored 4 points less so I can blame this decision on myself. but I can also say that I only looked at the ESPN rankings where Givens was top50 and Bess not. In the end it is up to us which source to trust and which source not to trust. Most often the rankings are not updated during the week so they are basically assessing a players value based on his status on Tuesday and this can't be accurate.

looks like I can gain another 2 wins this week with only around 120 points. my team is indeed lucky this season.

I'll be locking out all manager add/drop abilities after tonight's gametime, pending setup of playoff brackets and parameters. Once everything is set up on Tuesday, I'll post again and restore abilities as defined below.

Copied from the league rules:

Playoffs
8 teams, single elimination
The 8 teams will be those with the top 6 W/L records plus the two other teams with the most points
The top four seeds will be based on W/L record (including applicable tiebreakers)
Seeds 5-8 will be based on total points for the other four playoff teams
Teams with equivalent W/L records are ranked based on total points first, then head-to-head record.
Bracket is fixed (no reseeding after each round)

Blind bidding will continue throughout the playoffs. At the beginning of the playoffs, the top seeded team will receive an additional blind bidding allocation of $16, the second seed will receive $14, … with the 8th seed receiving $2. These allocations will be added to any balances remaining from the regular season. Any blind bidding ties during the playoffs will be awarded in favor of the better seeded team.

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

There will be no restriction on player add/drop transactions for teams still active in the championship playoffs. 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.

Playoff teams are the top 6 by W/L record, plus the two remaining teams with the highest point totals (Frick and Crazy 88s). Here are the seeds for the championship bracket:

1. Guru
2. Bonka
3. Youngroman
4. Wiggs
5. Holt
6. TD
7. Frick
8. Crazy 88s

Teams 5-8 were seeded based on total points. This year, the only impact is that teams 5 & 6 switched places.

Championship playoff teams may now submit blind bids as usual. All other teams are locked out from any add/drop/waiver moves for the rest of the season.

In order to adjust blind bidding "arsenals" for the playoffs, I increased the season max from 100 to 116. I then added 2 to the YTD blind bids used for team #2, 4 for team #3, etc. The result is that team #1 has the full $16 available, in addition to any amounts leftover from the regular season. Team #2 has an extra $14 to work with, team #3 has $12, etc.

I set up a custom waiver wire wire order, which I believe will award any blind bid ties to the team with the best seed. Hopefully this will work as expected - but we need to monitor this if it comes into play.

Teams not in the championship bracket have been seeded into the consolation bracket. Since there are only six teams, the first round loser with the highest point total will advance to round two. Pairings will be adjusted if needed to avoid a repeat matchup.

Let me know if anything is unclear, or if it looks like I haven't setup anything properly.

Teams making the playoffs drafted from the following positions (in order of seed): 14-1-11-10-12-8-7-5

Teams not advancing drafted 2-3-4-6-9-13 (not listed in order of seed)

I noticed that one of the AAA leagues had similar results, generally favoring those who drafted late in the first round.

Having said that, I don't think my 14th draft slot was particularly important. My first two picks were Gronkowski and Sproles, followed by AJ Green and Jordy Nelson.

My season success was largely conditioned on the next three picks (rounds 5-7): RG3, Spiller, and Cobb. Rounds 8-10 were all busts: C. McCarthy, Hester, and L. Washington. Other keys draft picks were Von Miller (12) and Tillman (16). But free agent and waiver pickups were also important factors: J. Kerley, Danario Alexander, Brandon Myers, John Abraham, & Antoine Winfield.

at least I reached my secondary goal to re-qualify.

maybe I should draft more players that have good matchups in week 14. if only I would know what a good matchup looks like 4 months in advance. is anybody selling a crystal ball that accomplishes this task ? TD, Holt, Guru, anyone?

on the other side 143.88 pts isn't too bad. only Sidney Rice was way below average all others played near or slightly above their averages. but none of my players had a very good game, the only exception was probably Eli with 22, but that is what you regularly expect out of a top QB.

TD had 3 players that had their season high this week: Lynch, Bennett and Wagner. I had none.

if Lynch and Martin keep putting up more than 50 combined points a week it will be tough to beat TD this year. Holt is the other top contender with the trio of Morris, Peterson and Newton. if 3 of your players get you 70 to 80 points a week all other players just need to be average and you still have a very good chance to win.

For the RIFC, the top 4 seeds plus the winner of the playoffs are locks to return. It's likely that at least 1-2 other teams will return as well, depending on results in this league and the QLs.

I have never stated a hard & fast rule. But it's pretty safe to assume that Bonka, YR, Wiggs, and Holt will return. TD is reasonably secure as well - especially since I was one of the top 6 seeds this year. Frick and Beezer are definitely on the bubble, however.

[135] Looking at playoff week (14-16) matchups is not something I do during the draft. The regular season is too important.

Good season and good luck next year.

Just hoping there's enough of the steam left that my team picked up over the last 4 weeks to carry me through two more games! Peterson says he's going for the rushing record. Hope he does it.

I haven't heard an update on RGIII's situation. If he sits then that could hurt Guru, but it may also have a negative effect on Alfred Morris. RGIII has vultured countless TD's from Morris this year, but his presence has definitely been responsible for a lot of Morris' success.

Guru - looking at my week 13 score and bench points I could say that I tried my best and still scored 121.80 pts with only 80% efficiency in week 13. my team was just too good, but not good enough to get a playoff win.

YRs team had the 4th worst all-play record and was about .200 above their all-play record and 10th in points. Super lucky to make the playoffs and get an invite back if that's the case.

It's ironic to see that the regular season scheduling luck backfired when it came to playoff seeding and missing out on advancing, as Guru pointed out.

Scored 176 points after averaging 127 for the season. That stings.

I will again be running the playoff game by MFL. The basic rule is that you can use each player (QB, RB, WR, TE, K, DST once over the course of the playoffs.

So. For example, if you use both Brady and Rodgers in their first games you cannot use them again and might be without a QB for the super Bowl. So ya gotta plan.

I will send out my info when our fantasy season is over, but wanted you to know that your fantasy fix can continue!

Watch this space for announcements. Last year I think we had ~ 20 teams (you can have two!)

In hindsight, I should have chosen someone other than Alshon Jeffery as a WR after learning that that Bowe was out. I heard that Jeffery was called for 3 offensive interference penalties.

I guess I had the fortune of catching Guru without RGIII and Gronkowski. I haven't verified it, but I probably would have lost to him every week from wk 1 to 9 or so. Whoever eventually wins this, you can't get around the fact that Guru pummeled us in the regular season. I guess the Giants squeaked into the playoffs last year and ended up winning it all (like many teams before). Guess that's football.

Ah heck - I have a few minutes:
Guru - Holt
178-129.32
160.36-115.96
158.56-134.14
133.92-147.5
123.08-116.66
176.92-132.2
163.84-141.98
132.34-110.72
165.1-148.24
121.7-141.08
185.28-149.74
129.3-190.6
176.74-188.74
133.62-166.48
124.62-155.82

9-6 for Guru overall. 9-2 in the first 11 wks, 0-4 in the last 4. I don't know how to attribute the shift in scoring trends late in the season. I know some of my players started picking it up, like Newton, but I don't know why. I did feel like my team was under-performing for some unknown reason throughout the first half of the season, but then again, we probably all feel that way every season!

I think once you get to the level of competition that you see among rotoguru players (the ones who stick with their teams and stay active anyway), there is a very large amount of luck involved. Luck in everything from draft position to injuries and on and on. You're not simply going to use skill to win year after year. I got lucky and caught Wiggs and Guru in the playoffs with possibly their worst weeks of the season. Now I wait and see who my team faces next week - Bonka or TD. Close game there!

Two years ago I dominated regular season scoring similar to Guru and got bounced in the first round after scoring a whopping 108 points. Good old fantasy football.

TD is currently up by .04. I'd like to win but not going to be all that upset if I lose, even if a repeat would be awesome. Did reasonably well across all my leagues and might turn a pretty decent profit depending on how next week goes.

.54, has to be one of the smaller playoff game margins.

Looks like TD squeaked another point in. Will be much harder to win on Thursday now.

Emphatic win! Was that the first game of the year to exceed 200 points?

Congrats to Holt, who dominated when it counted most.

Holt, congratulations on a great run culminating with your win in the playoffs.
As for my team, The Titans of New York channeled the 2012 Jets of Jersey. After finally making it to the bigs, my entire draft with the exception of Peyton Manning led me to my worst performance since I began playing in the RIFC format.
I plan on getting even with you in Dirty Dozen 2013.
Happy and healthy New Year to all!!

The 2012 MFL NFL Playoff Challenge is up and running.

The basic rule is that you can use each player (QB, RB, WR, TE, K, DST only once over the course of the playoffs.

So. For example, if you use both Brady and Rodgers in their first games you cannot use them again and might be without a QB for the super Bowl. So ya gotta plan.

Invitations to last year's managers were sent out today.

If you do not want to play this year, please let me know and I will delete your team(s). If you have (non RIFC) friends who want to play, have them email me (swimichel@mac.com) and I will send out an invitation.

You can have up to two teams!

Last year's winner was Promizedawgs, with s_R second and Crabby Bills came in third.
