Yeah same here. I won one championship (ES Dynaasty League) and lost two other championships. Of course i had to the lose the leagues that were for money! I could use that $900 right about now.

oh and i was the #1 scoring team in all 3 ;)


TDR, I LOVE YOU TOO!

[ACW]

We make new picks each week, right? I don't want to pick Brandon Jacobs if the picks are only for each weekend :silly:

[SC_RedskinsFan]

This is the first time i have played fantasy football. I should win by just dumb luck. :silly:

[Bostic Hog]

Biker Skin will win. Put $$ on that! **** all of you losing bitches :)

[MissU28]

When do we find out who our opponents are and who is on their team?

[GOSKN5]

you play against everyone in the league...its not head to head.. its total points for your team and then how you do against everyone else...

and yes you pick new players each week... but their prices go up according to their matchup, stats, etc....

[GOSKN5]

so do you think we should close it now with 12 players... or just let it grow and see how many we get???

[ACW]

so do you think we should close it now with 12 players... or just let it grow and see how many we get???Let it grow :2cents:

[twenty-eight]

Bump.........

[GOSKN5]

I guess we are letting it grow then.... not much longer and it wont matter anyway...

I am going to close it off after this weekends games start... so nobody tries to join after the first weekend of games...

[ACW]

I don't get this:
6 pts per rushing, receiving or return touchdown
4 pts per passing touchdown

2 questions come to mind:
1) So a kick or punt return TD isn't a special teams TD?
2) What's the difference between a receiving TD and a passing TD?

[GibbsFactor]

I'm going to beat you bitches with 25 bucks left on the table.

i'm assuming a qb will get 4 pts and a receiver will get 6?

Ok... a kick or punt return would count for your team if you had their DEF/ST
but if you happen to have an individual player that returns a kick or punt for a touchdown you will get 6 points for that....

in other words if lets say you had the Steelers Defense/ST and Moore took one back you would get 3 points added to your DEF/ST slot.. and if you happened to have Mewelde Moore as one of your RBs you would get 6 points there too.....

A WR catching a touchdown is worth 6 points... but a QB throwing a touchdown is only worth 4 points... thats just how they have it set up...

1. A kick or punt return goes to your defensive score, also the player who returns it (if you start him) would get the 6.

2. Passing touchdowns and yards (maybe 20 yards for 1 passing point) are usually marked down in fantasy because it de-emphasizes the quarterback numbers. QBs get 4 passing touchdowns more regularly then a rb or wr run or catch for 4 tds.

So if I have Manning and Clark a TD from Manning-Clark would be 10?

Those of you with LT might want to change your lineups.

[SC_RedskinsFan]

LT is out??


Nevermind i found it.

[MissU28]

Those of you with LT might want to change your lineups.

shhh! why are you helping the enemy??

[ACW]

Those of you with LT might want to change your lineups.:shutup:

[GOSKN5]

does it let you see who picked who after the teams lock???

I would be interested to see other peoples teams...

[ACW]

I would be interested to see other peoples teams...:yes: After the players' game starts.

[GOSKN5]

how is everyone feeling after day 1??

i made a few dumb moves...

[ACW]

how is everyone feeling after day 1??

i made a few dumb moves...:whoknows: Who knew Turner would fail? Fitz and Peyton did pretty well though. Now I need AP and the Ravens D to have nice days.

[SC_RedskinsFan]

I think i have made a few rookie mistakes.

[Rumrunner6900]

Only 46 points so far....5 more players to go though!

[GOSKN5]

i picked ATL defense which was really really stupid...

i was thinking that they would win the game... and that would be 5 points plus i figured a INT or something so I would at least get 5-8 points out of em... but they blew it...

I had the cardinals DEF and went back and changed it.... that hurt....

Turner didnt do horrible.. just not what I was expecting.. especially against the Cardinals usually suspect DEF.... o well...the good thing is its a week to week deal so as long as you arent way way behind after this week you are still alive...

[ACW]

I want to see the Vikings dominate. I got Tarvaris (best I could do w/ the points I had left), Berrian, and Peterson.
I also got the Ravens' D/ST.

[twenty-eight]

Did anybody else start Sproles?


:bow:

[ACW]

Did anybody else start Sproles?


:bow::no:
Who knew?
Come on Peterson, come on Mason (I switched from Berrian; hopefully Derrick plays :fingersx: ), come on Ravens D and Special Teams.

[twenty-eight]

:no:
Who knew?

<--------This guy!

Hey you don't become ES Dynasty League Champion by getting lucky :D

[boysetsfire]

FIRST!






for now. :D

[ACW]

<--------This guy!

Hey you don't become ES Dynasty League Champion by getting lucky :DI picked Turner. Fail :mad:
AP don't fail me, Ravens D don't fail me :mad:

[twenty-eight]

I picked Turner. Fail :mad:
AP don't fail me, Ravens D don't fail me :mad:

I picked Turner as well...I tried to change it at the last second (figured Addai was a better value) but I was too late.....


I got McNabb, DeSean Jackson, Shiancoe, and the Ravens to go

[ACW]

You picked McNabb over Peyton? I just hope Mason plays.

[twenty-eight]

You picked McNabb over Peyton? I just hope Mason plays.

I picked both McNabb and Peyton

[ACW]

I picked both McNabb and PeytonI'm a :dunce:
I took TJ and Peyton (needed the points for Fitz, Ravens D, Turner, and AP).

[ACW]

BTW, I think the NFL's fantasy is better.
WR/RB for ST TD don't double count; as for D/ST, the NFL's also includes yards allowed, while ESPN's doesnt.
:2cents:

EDIT: Ravens D helping me out: 2 picks, one a pick-six. :cool:

[SC_RedskinsFan]

What is a good score for this weekend?

[GOSKN5]

probably 120ish will be leading...

anything in the 105-120 range is decent IMO.... you can see the totals on the page.. you just have to click on each persons name on the leaderboard and it is updated in there... its just not updated on the leaderboard yet...

[ACW]

I think I'm second now :)
I already know my picks (well, for D, 1 QB, RB, and WR) for next week if I have the points) :fingersx:

[GibbsFactor]

I'm in second, Vincent Jackson was a major fubar on my part.

[Drop]

lol, i was gonna do this but i couldn't figure out how to sign up at first, then i started googling something else and forgot all about it.

[twenty-eight]

Oh looks who is in first place....surprise surprise....


:bow:

[ACW]

:2ndplace:
Turner underperformed.
Fitz and AP did what I needed.
Picking the Raven' D REALLY helped me.

[MissU28]

Yeah, Vincent jackson and Turner screwed me. I was also dumb for picking Correll B.... I figured Westbrook would be hurt and that he would pick up where he left off from the Cowboys game, but to no avail.

[GOSKN5]

Oh looks who is in first place....surprise surprise....


:bow:



anybody else ready to whip 28's "you know what" this weekend???

[SC_RedskinsFan]

Hopefully i do a little better this weekend.

[SC_RedskinsFan]

Why did my points change? On monday i had 100, now i only have 86, am i missing something?

[ACW]

Why did my points change? On monday i had 100, now i only have 86, am i missing something?Probably had to do with the defensive stats?

BTW, the AZ-CAR game is HUGE for me:
-AZ: Warner, Fitz (and Pope)
-CAR: DeAngelo, Smith, Kasay
Give me a shootout please :D

[ACW]

anybody else ready to whip 28's "you know what" this weekend???:secret: You can say "ass" here ;)

[twenty-eight]

I'm not feeling too good about this week

[ACW]

Only 72 so far :mad:
Thank you DeAngelo, Jacobs, Steve Smith :mad:
Thank you Larry Fitz, and Kurt :)

[SC_RedskinsFan]

This is going like my picks, if i pick a team they lose, if i pick a player they suck that game. Ohh well.

[ACW]

Still :2ndplace:

[twenty-eight]

You guys stink! I had a ****ty week and still got first place!

[twenty-eight]

FYI: Conference Championship rosters will carry through into the Super Bowl.
When your roster locks this weekend, it will remain locked for the duration of Gridiron Playoff Challenge (into the Super Bowl). So it's time to strategize as to which players you think will make it to Tampa Bay for the Super Bowl because once those players are locked this weekend, they're locked for good!

[ACW]

I think PIT'll win; no idea between ARI and PHI :(

[MissU28]

Yes, you all go and pick all Pitt players.....and I'll collect the big points when the Ravens smoke that ass.

[Rumrunner6900]

Who picked all ARI and PIT players?

I did!


2nd place bitches! (Should be first...damn 1 point!)

[SC_RedskinsFan]

Who picked all ARI and PIT players?

I did!


2nd place bitches! (Should be first...damn 1 point!)

I did as well. I am set up for an Epic comeback!!! :cheers:

[Rumrunner6900]

Gonna have to be epic to get up from #11 spot. Possible though depending on who picked BAL and PHI players. Those folks are pretty much done. :)

[SC_RedskinsFan]

I think i will end up in the top 5, when it is all said and done. I am a rookie this was the first time i have ever done any FF.

[Rumrunner6900]

Rookie eh? Not bad! This is just scratching the surface though. Join up for a full season in the fall. You may get hooked.

[SC_RedskinsFan]

I just checked and it looks like only 5 of us picked all Cards, and Steelers players, i am really looking at 6th or 7th place. I may play in the fall, do ES members get one together?

[ACW]

Yes, you all go and pick all Pitt players.....and I'll collect the big points when the Ravens smoke that ass.:owned:
I DID have Westbrook, DeSean, and Heap. I also had Warner AND Ben, Fitz (the only player I've had all 3 weeks), Reed, Willie Parker, and the Steelers' D. I'm :3rdplace: now; I think I can finish top 5 :fingersx:

[MissU28]

yeah, I am owned. I have Willie Parker left for next week. It's safe to say I lost horribly. I put too much confidence in the Chargers early on and could not bring myself to put a Cardinal on my team.

I AM happy with my Brent Celek choice. He was a sleeper and only one other person picked him. And you know where I got the idea to add him? Chris Cooley's blog.

[boysetsfire]

Who picked all ARI and PIT players?

I did!


2nd place bitches! (Should be first...damn 1 point!)


bwuahahah. Welcome to last place bitches.
:1stplace:

[ACW]

Is there an ES league for the regular season; this is my first time playing fantasy, and it's fun as hell.

[Rumrunner6900]

There are usually quite a few leagues that pop up on here. Some threads will pop up in the Tailgate about it, but it is good to check the Fantasy Football and Madden Forum too around June or so.

Maybe even earlier....some folks draft early as hell!

[boysetsfire]

1st place bitches!!!!!!

[twenty-eight]

1st place bitches!!!!!!

well done!

[Rumrunner6900]

1st place bitches!!!!!!


2nd place bitches!

:2ndplace:

I'll take it though. A lot of good players and tough competition. Your team was just too much to overcome in the end!

[ACW]

:3rdplace:
Not bad for my first foray into fantasy. Fitz was BEAST for me :)
I think he was the only one all 4 games, hell of a pick.
