Post by: shiznitz on June 01, 2012, 10:32:33 AM
I know it is freaking early, but I set it up.  Everyone who played last year should get an invite.  If it doesn't fill up with the vets from last season, I will open it up on a first come/first in basis.

The primary (I don't want to call it varsity) league is full.  The only change I made is I reduced playoff spots to 6 from 8.  Playoffs are still 3 weeks, but the top two don't get a first round bye.  8 out of 12 making the playoffs is kind of retarded.

Almost forgot the damn draft for the JV league. All in all I went for bye week depth as opposed to out and out stars. McCoy at RB with Sproles and Redman backing him up, Eli at QB because all the others were taken and LOL DENVER, with RGIII as the backup BECAUSE OF THE HYPE!!!! Greg Jennings at WR and Decker with the hopes that Peyton throws him 300 passes over the middle on 3rd and 7. Randall Cobb, Reggie Wayne and Michael Crabtree as guys who CAN perform but may not. Aaron Hernandez as my only TE, figuring a waiver wire pick for 3 points during week 7 will suffice. Houston as my D with the Giants as a backup - in those divisions, they should be sack/INT machines. Kickers are a dime a dozen this year, so Robbie Gould on a team that should score more TD with plenty of FG.

I missed signing up for either of the two leagues this year.

If I were to start a new league would people be interested in playing? Draft would probably be a day or two before the first regular season game.

Would there be interest in a keeper league with an auction draft?  Or, is there more interest in doing a straight forward standard league?

oh shit, this was last night.

I'm afraid to look...

edit: 2 Kickers, oh good. Pretty mediocre team I ended up with imo. My quest to not come in dead last doesn't start well when I can't even remember to draft. Two QBs, one that didn't play last season and one who was fucking brutal for the last 12 games of the season. McFadden is good if he stays healthy, but I don't have much in RB past that. Couple of good TEs (oh good), some middle of the road WRs and a defense I don't know anything about.

Go Bastards.

I was so tired and punch drunk from dealing with Joomla/CSS issues all day (issues that I had correctly pointed out in the goddamn design phase but nobody wanted to hear my cynicism because DESIGN! FONTS! DESIGN!) that I sat down with the wife and watched all of Hotel Hell. The whole draft left my head like 2 seconds after I posted.

The auto-draft seems to place a lot of emphasis on having 2 of every position except defense, even though that's not even remotely necessary.

Here comes Week 1 and I do not have confidence in my team against The Invalids.  He has Megatron to my Stafford.  He also has Vick who should have a monster game against the laughable Browns.  I don't think Vick will last the season, but he has a few good weeks in him, I expect.  I need Doug Martin (RB - TB) to facestomp in CAR to win this one.

I want to draw your attention to the Bloomberg Sit/Start tool at Yahoo!.  It is a little green button on the upper right of the Your Team page.  It will measure two players against each other with a number of different stats.  I have found more interesting than helpful so far as it relies completely on stats and not on more qualitative variables.

For example, it gives Stafford a very slight edge over Cutler this week, but Cutler pretty much shat the bed last night (as I think any FFL regular new he probably would after starting 1-10 last week).

Falcons are without a starting CB. Peyton will have around 300 and 3TDs. (And possibly 1 INT.) I'm expecting something like 34-31, with Broncos edging out Falcons because of Prater.

Don't be hasty.  The #1 fantasy point scorer so far this season is RG3 and you got him in the 9th round.  Yes, it was a gamble, but when they work as well as that one, you should be competitive.  The Jennings injury will be key for you, though.

After this week I will doa short rundown on how players are performing versus where we all drafted them.

It is still early yet but we have some interesting players stats versus how our draft went so far.

#1 draft Aaron Rodgers is #21 in points so far.  Matt Ryan is #1 in points, but he was drafted #34 and the 5th QB.

Nebu drafted RGIII in the 9th round after taking Brees in the first round.  I wouldn't want that sit/start decision facing me every week, but it will probably be the best value in the draft, by far.  I am just not sure Nebu will reap the benefits since he can only play one of them.

Looking at RBs, CJ Spiller is crushing it with over 52 points.  Vinegar Strokes grabbed him in the 9th round as his 4th RB.  He benched Spiller in Week 1 but learned quickly from that (hindsight) mistake.

The leading WRs so far do not match our league's draft opinion.  I grabbed the current #1, Demaryus Thomas, in the 5th round.  The three WRs who went in the 1st round are sucking it right now (probably in no small part due to the refereeing).  Only Julio Jones is in the top 25 (at #10).  Megatron and Fitzgerald owners are suffering horrific QB performances so far.

I need Green Bay to get creamed and Rodgers to not go bonkers.  I find it funny I can even with either of my games with the performances I got (especially the QBs.. shit), and also considering I started Jonathan Stewart. I seriously forgot he was even on my team.

Attack Monkies Regret Tracker

Did not start Ben Roethlisberger, who led the league in scoring with 43.00 points.
Left Jacquizz Rodgers on the bench, where he exceeded his scoring projection by a league-leading 342.6%.
Left Titus Young on the bench, where he scored 14.00 points and beat his projected point total by 149.1%, the ninth-highest percentage in the league this week.
7 of the starters on Attack Monkies underperformed versus their projections.
The Baltimore Ravens Defense had the lowest point total in the matchup with -1.00 point.

I really love this new feature.  By the way, the Bloomberg Sit/Start tool may look cool but it is bad at making close calls so use it with a grain of salt.  Next week I will write about what it recommends for this coming weekend, why I disagree, and then what happened.

Spartacus Lover Regret Tracker

    Michael Turner was left on the bench, where he bested his expected 7.81-point total by putting up 15.07 points.
    The TE position was a letdown for Spartacus Lover, where they were outscored 12.03 - 3.40 by Murdoc's Bandwagon.
    Doug Martin did not meet his 11.59-point projection this week, the first time that's happened this season. His 7.70 points were also a season-low.
    With a season-low 3.40 points versus a projected 6.75, Brent Celek failed to meet his projection for the first time this season.
    Brandon LaFell had a season-low 2.30 points against a projected 5.19 and scored below his projection for the first time this season.

To those of you in the main f13 league: RGIII is on the trading block.  I will consider offers that will upgrade healthy starters.  Considering that this league is dominated by QB scoring, I don't want more bench depth.


Title: Re: 2012/2013 F13 Fantasy Football
Post by: shiznitz on September 28, 2012, 10:01:44 AM
Let's use this week to check out the Bloomberg Sit/Start tool.  Here are the ratings on all my players.  These ratings are supposed to make players of different positions comparable from a fantasy scoring perspective.

Stafford: 79.4
Ponder 60.2

First question: Why does PPR or non-PPR matter for the QB position?  I am not aware of any PPR league that rewards QBs for completions.

WR
Fitzgerald: 70.2
Demaryius Thomas: 62.4
LaFell: 34.8
S. Moss: 23.7

TE
Celek: 36.4
Pitta: 41.0 > He scored zero pts last night, btw.  I benched him correctly.

RB
Turner: 53.6
Green-Ellis: 58.4
Martin: 67.5

So the best line up according to Bloomberg:

Q:Stafford
W:Fitzgerald
W:Thomas
R: Martin
Flex: Green-Ellis
TE: Pitta

Reality as I see it: Jacksonville and Carolina have delivered horrific run defense so far.  That would favor Green-Ellis and Turner in a traditional fantasy ranking.  Martin is up against the Redskins which is holding fantasy RBs to small gains so far.  Martin's best week so far was against the Panthers for 13 pts.  The Bengals have a better balanced offense that Tampa Bay so I would expect Green-Ellis to be more successful than Martin's best effort so far.  Green-Ellis only delivered 7pts against the Redskins, but he delivered 16pts vs the Ravens.  No way I am playing Martin this week.

FWIW, the free Scouting Report that Yahoo gives us ranks my RBs this way for the week: #7 Turner, #11 Green-Ellis and #14 Turner.  Maybe I have just been trained over the years to think like the "experts" that produce these rankings.  Yahoo wants to try and sell this Bloomberg tool but my experience so far - and I have been playing with it all season - is that it misses a lot of key variables that matter in fantasy. 

My WR situation is crystal clear so this tool is not going to help me much there.

True but that likelihood is way too low to explain the size of the change in QB scores between the two options.

Turner: 53.6

I don't think you should lose faith for the whole year, but yeah, even I'm not optimistic enough to think he'll have a good game against Houston. Their blocking has been shit, Jennings AND Benson are out so their running game is on James Starks (oft-injured) and a 2nd year guy who missed most of last year with an injury. Their wideouts are still great, but I think they aren't using Driver enough because of his age and it's showing. Their O line has been SHIT at pass protection, and will likely get skullfucked by JJ Swat. Rodgers is going to be running for his fucking life.

But after that, it's 3 straight games against The Rams, the Jags and Arizona - only one of those has a good D and they don't have an offense to take the pressure off. If they can't score 30+ points in at least 2 of those games, the Pack are in serious trouble.

You can lose all the faith in the whole team as you want, but you only care about the player in this case. That being said, Tennessee is TERRIBLE against the pass, so it's not a totally weird call. Rothlisberger will probably be a top 5 QB this week. But, he's no Rodgers.

Edit: Keep in mind, that as bad as Tennessee is, Pittsburgh will probably enjoy a lead for all the game, and with Mendy back, it will probably be mostly runs.

James Jones and Cobb have played really well for them, so he has the targets. The running game, we'll see if the committee of Green and Starks can be as good as Benson has been for them. ("Good" here used in relative terms.)

Rice has emerged as a favorite of Wilson's and is going against a mediocre defense (and is playing at home). Nelson has been invisible all year and is going against one of the best defenses in the league. It probably won't be more than a point or two either way, but it will make the Seahawks game that much more interesting for me.

I agree that the Seahawks DB's are probably the best (as a unit) in the league.  I just have faith that Rogers will still be able to get Nelson the ball on a consistent basis.  The offense has an advantage and despite their record, Rogers is good. 

As for the points difference, you're likely right.  If it makes the game more fun, that's probably worth it.

I almost made that exact same choice, but against better judgement I did not. I'm a lot happier about the gamble now as that will likely be the difference of winning or not as in all my leagues it will be a point margin of less than 10 with Rodgers starting instead of Big Ben.

Picked up Deshean Jackson, too.  Figure that miserable car-fire of a team they have in Philly has to have some kind of turnaround offensively if Vick can learn to stop shitting himself long enough to get the ball to his playmakers.  And it isn't like he can do worse than that worthless son-of-a-bitch Kenny Britt.

While I'm happy with the win this week after last week's bullshit loss, that does suck. Especially since you had the game won until the garbage time touchdown to Graham.

I went into the game really worried, thinking that when the most logical thing for a team to do is start Josh Gordon in the flex you know that team is in trouble (MJD and Murray being injured, Steve Smith against my defense would have been a double-edged sword if he found the endzone so he was benched as well, and not trusting Hartline when he's expected to be up against Cromartie).

Lost by two points because I dressed Dreesen over Graham, since Graham was a "game time decision" and I didn't have the time to sit in front of a pregame show monitoring the douche. Also, I had McGahee and Thomas for Denver, only needed the two points with 8 minutes to go, and that was the point Denver shut down all the starters.

While I'm happy with the win this week after last week's bullshit loss, that does suck. Especially since you had the game won until the garbage time touchdown to Graham.

I went into the game really worried, thinking that when the most logical thing for a team to do is start Josh Gordon in the flex you know that team is in trouble (MJD and Murray being injured, Steve Smith against my defense would have been a double-edged sword if he found the endzone so he was benched as well, and not trusting Hartline when he's expected to be up against Cromartie).



Yeah, well, I think besides Gronkowski, everyone else on my roster managed to underperform.  I was sure I had it in the bag...up by 50 points, with two players left to go against your three.

Nice to have clinched a playoff spot already, time to give my studs some rest.  But I'm willing to let you guys know the secret of my success.  Y'all spend too much time stressing over how to maximize your points every week.  The Roosters' success proves that fantasy defense is by far the most important stat.  Held my opponent below 65 in each of my last two games, won 'em both.  I'm the goddamn Dick Lebau of FFB.

I still have a pony in this race, and I think I just picked up a game on both of you.  I also have history on my side.  And God. 

Pro Football Pick'em   2011   2 of 13   Cychopaths   Bat Country   
Pro Football Pick'em   2009   1 of 16   Cyrrex's Crappy Picks   Bat Country   
Pro Football Pick'em   2010   1 of 14   Team Whippy   Bat Country   
Pro Football Pick'em   2012   3 of 11 *   Team Whippy   Bat Country

I actually thought I won last year as well, but thinking back I think Binary Man or someone must have cheated or something at the last minute.   Fantasy Football performance, while we're at it:

Football   2012   2 of 10 *   Team Whippy   Bat Country minor leagues   
Football   2011   4 of 12   Team Whippy   Bat Country minor leagues   
Football   2010   2 of 12   Team Whippy   Bat Country minor leagues

Yahoo actually has a pretty cool summary page for you, which is how I found this.  Didn't know it existed until just now.  Also measures your general performance and lists all your medals and stuff.  Kinda nice.

Yeah, in one league I have Sidney Rice who put up a whopping 3.5, so glad I started him over Denario Alexander (as I thought his hot streak was coming to an end as Rice's would still be going) this week who put up almost 21 :uhrr:

I almost doubled down by throwing in Russell Wilson and his giant 10 points since I picked him up this week while dropping Rivers, who of course had one of his best games of the season. I didn't, but damn that would have hurt.

Well, I'm going to have to thank Schwartz for throwing it 50 times because Calvin Johnson was one of my lone bright spots this week (along with Blair Walsh haha).  Those two made up for me starting Doug Martin, Bryce Brown and David Wilson so I managed to sneak into my league's championship game, although it did help that my opponent started Danario Alexander.  This was a really weird week.

Of course I'm going to get annihilated in the finals since my opponent has Brees and Peterson.

And somehow, my opponent in the final has Andre Johnson, Calvin Johnson and Adrian Peterson on the same team.  How the fuck did that happen?  I'm beyond dead.

The whole night CJ was shut down....except for one single play. So congrats... dick :why_so_serious:

I figured only myself or Whispering Eyes could have stood up to Like A Boss, and I agree in thinking you don't have too great of a chance. There are a couple of factors IMO which give you a little hope in his score staying beatable - A. Johnson and Danields can't be on the field at the same time as AP when playing each other, Seattle D actually has to play a good team which they haven't had to do in a few weeks now, and he has a good number of tough matchups outside of Romo potentially having a field day as they play from behind and needing to pass against the 2nd worst pass def.

So that said.....good luck!  :awesome_for_real:

I have two chances, as I see it.  One, the matchups seem to favor me slightly this week, which is probably why the point projection is favoring me.

I think bigger question is whether or not Gronkowski will be able to contribute.  I deliberately built this team up and set my auto-draft to ensure that I got Rodgers and Gronk (and Cruz to a lesser extent).  Having him out over the past several weeks has fucked me hugely.

Victor Cruz has also completely disappeared since the Giants began their skid, so may that is my third chance.

Yah, my draft won it for me.  Slow start to the season, but they came though. 

Quote
1.    (3)    Calvin Johnson (Det - WR)
2.    (18)    Adrian Peterson (Min - RB)
3.    (23)    Andre Johnson (Hou - WR)
4.    (38)    Michael Turner (Atl - RB)
5.    (43)    Tony Romo (Dal - QB)

We'll choose to ignore that #4. Not sure what I was thinking.  Romo is now the 2 time defending champ.  :awesome_for_real:

Yeah, grats.  Romo really took the Saints' D out behind the woodshed there in the 4th quarter.

I just couldn't get anything out of any of my receivers over the second half of the season.  I suppose I should not have kept counting on a Giants/Cruz rebound, but I couldn't really see any other options.

I disagree. That's pretty much the way the NFL is right now. The fact it's shifted away from RB's isn't the fault of the system, it's the fault of the league. The QB has the biggest impact on every real team.


Title: Re: 2012/2013 F13 Fantasy Football
Post by: Segoris on June 06, 2013, 10:19:48 AM
While I wouldn't mind passing TD reduced to 4 or 5 if it only requires 20 yards-per-point for passing, and more penalties for fumbles (ex: fumble -1 but fumble lost -2) I'm with Paelos. Changes to only the passing QB stats (as you can't separate QB-rushing from RB-rushing) really does mess the league up. I think that is unneccessary since the league is small enough that there are enough QBs for every team to have a 300-325 and higher scoring QB. Also, those with those top 3 QBs are lacking in other places, while a league with tough passing stats will now have a QB with drastic point reductions while the other players are playing at full point values. Since I didn't feel like working this last half-hour, I've done a couple of quick comparisons to some other leagues I'm in.

These are all based on the top 10 QB of JV league (only did top 10 as I can't access the free agents which includes R Wilson who would have been #10 or #11).

JV league QB:

Slgihtly tougher league but most competitive: Used 4 point passing TD, -1 for fumbles and -2 for fumbles lost (vs 0 for fumbles and -1 for lost) but made it slightly easier in being 20 yards-per-point for passing to help traditional QBs not be hurt as badly compared to hybrids, and no negatives for sacks.
tl;dr - these rules reduce the top 10 QBs average by 15 points, mostly hurts traditional QB while Hybrids aren't nearly as effected, most games were +/-10 points between the opponents.
 

Toughest league for QBs: Used 4 point passing TD AND 25 yards-per-point for passing. -2 for Fumble lost (vs F13 -1) no loss for a non-lost fumble, and no negatives for sacks
tl;dr - these rules are the toughest which drops the average of the top 10 by 65 with traditional QBs being more impacted but also having a large impact on hybrids as well but this league had more blowouts then I've ever seen


Title: Re: 2012/2013 F13 Fantasy Football
Post by: Nebu on June 06, 2013, 10:42:38 AM
My current money league uses the following for QB's:  4 pt thrown TD, 6 pt rushing TD, -1 sack, -1 fumble, -1 INT, 20 yds per pts gross.

We also have a 10 team league and each team must use 2 starting QB's (and 2 starting RB's).  With the requirements and IDP stats the drafts are brutal.  

Edit: I wonder if my bias is based on my draft strategy.  In 15 years of my pay league I've never placed worse than 5th.  I guess you prefer what works best for you historically.



Title: Re: 2012/2013 F13 Fantasy Football
Post by: Segoris on June 06, 2013, 12:14:34 PM
Yeah, 10 team league and 2 starting QBs is a world of difference. IDP even more so.

As for drafts and strategy - I think it can get you a good start on the season, but it won't win a season for someone. Strong free agency can overcome a strong draft imo. In two of the leagues I was in last year, I missed the drafts and didn't even set up an autodraft order. In those, I had the 6th and 7th spots but still ended up taking 3rd and 1st respectively through decent free agent transactions. The one where I took first - my starting QB for most of the year was Philip Rivers :oh_i_see:

Post by: Nebu on June 06, 2013, 12:21:06 PM
To be fair, drafting in the middle of a snake draft will usually produce a team with the best risk/reward players.  I do agree that the waiver wire separates the men from the boys.  The waiver wire/free agents are where most leagues are won.  That and the team that picked up the most sleepers in the late rounds of the draft.

Won the JV league because the core of my draft finally started producing.  Calvin Johnson, Andre Johnson, and Adrian Peterson.  It was a slow start (lost me a lot of games) but they more than made up for it at the end. Romo also did pretty well.

I don't know about saying he's good because of an awful running game, or if I'm ready to be calling their running game awful just yet since, fantasy wise, he has his best games when the running game is doing well. Except of course week 16 which was a pure shootout between Romo and Brees while not a single fuck was given about any running game on that day.

As for free agency/waviers and kids vs no kids - Isn't that more to do with Yahoo's waiver UI? I seem to remember only being allowed to setup 1 transaction per player ahead of the waiver claim time, whereas ESPN allows you to try and drop the same player for multiple picks and you get the first one which is available

Yes, but there are some people playing in both (4-5 maybe?), so that 26 drops down a bit.

As for a Champion's League, that would be cool. Otherwise I was thinking about the spots where people get to play in both leagues and how those could go to the winners and commisioners first, but the problem with that is it would require removing someone from the primary league for a JV winner to play in the Primary - and I am not sure how well that would go as the JV league and people playing in both were doing so to help meet the demand. Of course, we all know it's developed further than that and is now the better of the two leagues :grin:
