Fantasy Dynasty League 2008 - Discussion

Re: Alpha Dynasty - DISCUSSION - Part 2

Pair of wins never really in doubt despite my studs laying a fat one in the BFFFL

BUT... 33.2 + Cromartie vs Washinton, Harris and Pace...

Dunno how you're gonna do it D... Unless Jones gets injured early and they are still good with the run.

Its only 23.4 points difference actually, Cromartie isnt a big scorer, averaging 5 this year, so i reckon i'll need around 30 from my 3

Averages so far: Harris 5.5, Pace 9.25, Washingto 10.8, thats 25.55

Harris is better then a 5.5 aswell

By no means is it out of the realm of possibility, i give myself a good chance actually, Washington doesnt need carries to do well, in fact he only has 8 for 37 in two games, it is his return game and receptions that gets him points

Reckon you will fall short, just like I did last week... Very similar actually, but Cass had an extra OP...

Re: Alpha Dynasty - DISCUSSION - Part 2

I love JT

Thought I ****ed up my starters and bench this week. Then I had a look at Wizards bench and see 185 points just sitting there

Shut up Cassius.

I'm in strife @ 1-2. Luckily for my team i drafted for the future.
Steve Slaton welcome aboard next week.

Not having a go at your selections. It's just hard getting the perfect team (or close to one). IDP's are just too hard to predict.

2-1 and looking in good shape. If only I didnt lose my first game (**** you Brandon Marshall)

If only DeSean didn't drop it at the one

See I can do that too

Everyone will be able to this year...

Re: Beta Dynasty - DISCUSSION

****en the is bloody annoying.
didn't check the news and left Bigby playing, 0 there.
i was so close to playing Slaton over Kevin Smith and that would have got me the win aswell.
i'm projected 3 points under, so let's go Cotch and Sproles

With the way the teams are structured it will be nearly impossible to pick the perfect side from your list @ any one time this year.

Re: Beta Dynasty - DISCUSSION

My god.. Reggie has been fantasy GOLD for me, definitely digging the trade i made earlier. Fitzgerald has been putting up solid and great numbers for me aswell.. my FA pick up O'Sullivan is doing the job aswell, but i cant say the same for Ocho Cinco and Crayton.. Now, if Big Ben sits a few games out and Leftwich gets a few starts, that would be great.


*championship!*

Re: Alpha Dynasty - DISCUSSION - Part 2

I would THINK thats game over for the Destroyers with Cromartie returned in INT for TD... And Domination prolly looking at top score again...

 

[Rhyno]

Re: Beta Dynasty - DISCUSSION

next week i'm tempted to unleash rudi on some unsuspecting victim , he scored well this week and should be a good replacement for Westrook if he doesnt pull up next week , or any of a host of semi decent scorers that i had on my bench this week may also find themselves starting in other problem position.

I was a little diappointed he dropped the first INT attempt too.

Would have been 2 TD's.

Re: Beta Dynasty - DISCUSSION

Cromartie helps get me over the line this week with 24 points.

You couldn't have thought to play Brown considering how he's been going. Bet he only goes for 50 yards next week.

 

[JeffDunne]

Re: Alpha Dynasty - DISCUSSION - Part 2

Cromartie isnt a big scorer,

I bet you wish you hadn't have said that now.

Amazingly he scored 24 despite missing a gimme INT & TD.

Re: Alpha Dynasty - DISCUSSION - Part 2

Haha,it is usually the way it works, you can be sure that you are tempting fate when you make calls like that!

 

[larkis]

Re: Beta Dynasty - DISCUSSION

Also Big Ben and Anderson getting interceptions also helped you out.
I am shocked after I thought I would get my first win of the season.

Re: Alpha Dynasty - DISCUSSION - Part 2

GG i am sure will say my team was overrated pre season and i havent lived up to my lofty expectations, but in reality there is only so much one can do

I am the top scoring team in the league, and it comes down to luck whether that translates to wins unfortunately, and i have been a bit unlucky with the 2nd most points against, certainly all is not lost at 1-2 but it will certainly be tough

This week will be a bit of a struggle i think, have Reggie Wayne, Julius Jones, Jon Kitna and Steve Smith on the bye, aswell as Colston still out injured, relying on the likes of Hightower, Fred Jackson and Gage, whilst NDG has only Cassel of last week's starters on the Bye, with an able replacement in Jason Campbell, will certainly be surprised if i get up, can only hope

 

[Dagless]

Re: Alpha Dynasty - DISCUSSION - Part 2

Yeah been a bit unlucky...

Only 3 teams over 600 points so far... Then a small dip, then the muddled middle...

 

[Exe Gesis]

Re: Alpha Dynasty - DISCUSSION - Part 2

Your team isnt overrated per se. But as can often happen....name players from last season, or projected to be good, and sometimes they dont perform as expected. Or, like you say, and manureid had happen to him in BFFFL last season---you just get bad luck happen to you.

There is only so much one can do.

Re: Alpha Dynasty - DISCUSSION - Part 2

Well top 2 scorers this week both from the very strong West Division and if Redragger had not left out Ronnie Brown (who had his career game!!) it would have been top 3. A crap load of points left on the bench as well.

Personally, it was good to see LT have some sort of impact although still hampered by injury. Housh finally produced, Moss continues to show why he'll soon be one of the elite WRs, Rivers is currently the No 1 fantasy QB.

Even lesser lights like Antonio Bryant and TJ Duckett came good with 20+ pt performances. Rudi Johnson finally came good again . What a shame all 3 players were on the bench.

Andre Johnson though had probably his worst game in the NFL, 2-20 and two dropped catches in the endzone. Still can't have everything.

Just one of those weeks you have very occasionally when everything comes together. Don't expect it to happen too many times again.

 

[Exe Gesis]

Re: Alpha Dynasty - DISCUSSION - Part 2

Another way to look at it too is that Goalline backs have a place in football, and in fantasy football. A Hightower who vultures TDs in the redzone becomes almost as important as the every down back. So it's another management angle worth having. Like, it's a good coup if you can manage to identify a good redzone back like Dspeed nailed Hightower. Or like me now with Thomas. Can slot him in the OP spot and get a good 10-20 pts per game. And if i ended up getting more of an every down back who rushes 20 times a game for 100 yards for some other team then you can have a pretty good rushing team. There's always the risk too that the goalline backs dont score a TD and so you end up with literally 1.3 pts from that player. Risk-reward.

 

[Exe Gesis]

Re: Alpha Dynasty - DISCUSSION - Part 2

It's also why I wanted to include punt/kick return yards as well. Why I have a bunch of slot receivers and cornerbacks who also do returning duties. Risk reward there where they mightnt get a catch all game and maybe not many return yards and you're stuck with like 5 pts for him. But if you can identify those receivers then you can score some good pts. Why i have hixon, bess, hobbs, eddie royal, where they also may get a bunch of receptions in a game if you get the right match-up.

 

[Dagless]

Re: Alpha Dynasty - DISCUSSION - Part 2

Which division has 2 of those 3 teams?

I'm screwed for next week seeing as though I have the entire NYG offense...JD just missing Hasselbeck. Really want a win.

You ain't wrong there brother

I'm okay for this week... GO JD

Help me get a game ahead

Re: Alpha Dynasty - DISCUSSION - Part 2

Half my bloody team have byes this week, time for some household changes.

 

[redragger]

Re: Alpha Dynasty - DISCUSSION - Part 2

Well top 2 scorers this week both from the very strong West Division and if Redragger had not left out Ronnie Brown (who had his career game!!) it would have been top 3.

I'm still smarting over that one. If I had Ronnie in I would have chalked up the W. The Miami bye came at the wrong time, now he'll probably have a week off, think about it, and come back as bad as he was the first 3 weeks...
