2011 HTGTH Fantasy Football

[Loaded NightraiN]

Ok i'm confused, whens the draft currently scheduled for?

[faldor]

Celebrate Labor Day in the draft room.  It's next Monday night (Sept. 5th) at 7:45 eastern.  Hopefully that works for most, if not all.  Sorry for all the changes and confusion.  Life's been crazy of late, adjustments were needed on my end.  I've got a draft tonight and tomorrow, so I should be well versed by Monday.

7-0 now. I wonder at what I should start resting my starters for the playoffs??? 

[D]

I've been getting the ONE person who has had the guy to go off.... One of those shitty seasons where if the schedule was different, I'd be riding high.

If CJ can turn it around.. I still got a shot though.

7-0 now. I wonder at what I should start resting my starters for the playoffs??? 

The perfect time to rest them would be now. 
Maria Sharapova was just polishing my crystal balls last night...the balls said your squad shot its load after week 7.
Maria will finish on top.   

[Axl4Prez2004]

Decisions, decisions.
In my money league, I've got a tough choice...gotta start 2 wr's, out of Colston, Maclin, and V-Jax.
(keep in mind V-Jax fucked me last week as he only had 49 yards with no td's, 8 targets and 3 catches) as I lost by 3 fantasy points overall!   
That said, V-Jax should do well in a bounceback game at home vs. the Packers.
Maclin's at home against da Bears on Monday night.
Colston only gave me 5 points last week as well.
Whaddaya think?

btw, I'm going with the bounceback Cowboys defense instead of the Jets defense this week.  any thoughts?

[D]

well, seeing how bad Rivers is playing and the fact Charles Woodson will be on Jax... I believe Id go Colston and Maclin

NO got embarrassed last week.. They will throw a ton

[Axl4Prez2004]

D, Yup, Colston should light it up.  I just have this gut feeling Rivers gets it together this week.  Oh well, choosing between Maclin and V-Jax...I could have bigger problems!

That said, I've got Stafford and Hill on a bye.  I've got Bradford, but he's questionable.  I'm toying with picking up either Feeley or Beck if Bradford's a no-go, but Beck plays at 1:00 and Bradford's a game-time decision for 4:15.  I'm kinda fucked and may just have to pick up Feeley Sat. night.  Our add/drop deadline for the week is Sat. night @ 9.  A.J. F'ing Feeley!  (insert vomit emoticon here) 

[D]

What about Matt Cassell against Miami?

Thats who i gotta roll with since Cam is on bye week.

Cassell's a great play...hopefully my opponent who has both Tebow and Cassel goes with Tebow!   

In my 12 team league though, most team have 3 qb's.  So, unfortunately, with Stafford and Hill on bye, I've only got Bradford and he's questionable.  My only choices are hope bradford plays, grab Feeley in case bradford's a late scratch, Beck, Skelton!, THAT's IT! 
Luckily, his Adrian Peterson's on a bye.

FYI

Don't listen to me this season on fantasy

I did not!   

[D]

HAHAH please tell me u are still winning anyway

[Axl4Prez2004]

HAHAH please tell me u are still winning anyway

Grrr.  No.

I am down by 14 after the 1st half tonight.  I've got Mendenhall, he's got Antonio Brown.
I still have Maclin tomorrow night...but it likely won't be enough.  S.O.B.!!!! 
Oh well. 

[D]

My team is on fucking fire!!!!!!!

If i can get into the playoffs WATCH OUT!

[sandman]

my team is one of the best i've ever had. i think i'll finish with the most points in the league, but i may not even make the playoffs. i think if D loses, i might win the tie-breaker with him. he's up 20 but his opponent has 3 players going tonight.

i didn't draft my team so i have nothing to brag about. all i did was pick up Cam Newton and he's carried my team all year.

in my money league, i am having my worst season ever and will definitely miss the playoffs. my second, third, and fourth round picks were Andre Johnson, Gates, and Best and they missed alof of time. then i waited too long on QBs and ended up taking Freeman, Kolb, and Cassel late. just terrible. i really thought freeman was gonna pick up where he left off last year and end up being a top 8 fantasy QB. way off on that one.

[gilee7]

My team is falling apart. After starting 9-0, I've lost 3 out of 4. (This week I lost to a guy who only had five active players, adding even more embarassement.)

I lost Fred Jackson to IR, DeSean Jackson is too busy pouting, Calvin Johnson has cooled off after his hot start, Bowe lost his QB. And to think I cut Marshawn Lynch several weeks ago when he wasn't getting but like 40 yards a game . . .

[Neemo]

squeaked out a win with a 25pt jones drew last night to secure a playoff berth 

[Axl4Prez2004]

D, sorry I had to knock you out of the playoffs in the last week of the regular season.

Time for me to represent HTGTH an kick some GNRevolution arse now!!!

 

[Neemo]

damn....if Johnson didnt havea 45pt day...thanks to a late TD i woulda been in the finals 

[gilee7]

Sorry about that. I figured I had no chance of winning after Eli's horrible day. Calvin Johnson saved my ass. He'd been quiet these last few weeks; thankfully he was just saving up all his points for when I needed him most.

I expect to lose this week. It'd be cool to be the first 2-time champion of the league, but it looks like that honor will go to Axl4Prez. I haven't decided yet if I'm going to stick with Eli against the Jets or try for a hail mary with someone else.

This is my 3rd straight year in the championship game, though. There's something to be said about that.

Gilee and Neemo, I'm glad u guys spoke up...I never remember whose team is whose.  Except for D...Appetite for D gives it away! 
Sorry for knock-knock-knockin' ya outta the playoffs D!   

I feel proud of my team...even if I don't win this week, I am proud of an early trade I made...okay my only trade...I traded Mark Ingram for Jordy Nelson. 
I stuck with drafting an injured Arian Foster...and if it were not for the timer running out on my pick due to tech difficulties, I would have had Ben tate early in the season when he was starting.

Grabbing Stafford in the 9th round was a great feeling. 

It's all on the line Gilee!  The 2007 Champ vs. the 2009 Champ!  Good luck man!!!   

[Axl4Prez2004]

Arian...Foster.   

[Axl4Prez2004]

Yo Gilee, has there been another 2-time champion?
Whichever one of us takes this Championship will be a two-time champ...correct me if I'm wrong, but the winner DOES receive hookers and drugs, correct?

[Axl4Prez2004]

First of all, big congrats to Gilee to have made it to the big game with me.  Hell of a team, great competitor year in, year out.
I'm standing up here on the podium, and sure, I wanna take some credit for my team's success...but next to me are QB Matthew Stafford, and much-maligned draft pick #2 overall, Mr. Arian Foster.
Yes, Arian had a bad hammy b4 the season, but I kept the faith.
I targeted Stafford as THEE qb...and I snagged him late.  He certainly came through!
The trade of RB Mark Ingram for WR Jordy Nelson benefitted Maria Sharapova immensely!  Thank you Zed's Dead.

But most of all, I want to thank that hot, fine piece of a$$ Ms. Sharapova.  We won this title for her!  No disrespect to Natalie Portman, but she just wasn't cutting it as a team name/inspiration.
Thank you Maria!!!

LOL. Congrats, man. I just paid for a high-end escort to fly out and service you. Enjoy your prize.

congrats axl4prez! 

[Axl4Prez2004]

Gentlemen, I must say it's been a whirlwind week doing interviews everywhere after winning an unprecedented second HTGTH Fantasy Football Championship.
I barely have enough time to entertain the lovely prizes Gilee sent my way!! 
 

I am in my money/keeper league's Super Bowl this weekend.
All advice is welcome!  (even D's, despite the fact his bad advice crushed me a few weeks ago!  )

We start 1qb, 2rb, 2wr, 1te, 1k, and 1D (no spec. team)
with stafford, hill, and bradford, qb's obvious:  Stafford.
TE I'm rollin' with Jared Cook over Jermichael "I'm gonna rest" Finley
K, a little torn between Bailey and Gould.  Romo should be able to get the 'boys into Giants territory.  I don't have as much confidence in McCown or Hanie doing the same in Minnesota.
D, either Timothy's Jets or D's Cowboys...I'm goin' Jets.  Still a thread of playoff hope to play for in the early game...and I'd rather have my fantasy defense playing against the Dolphins, not the G-Men.
WR, Colston, Maclin, Crabtree, V-Jax.  I'm currently rollin' with Colston and Maclin...but Crabtree's tempting me against the Rams...unfortunately not as sold on him as I am Colston and Maclin.
RB is the biggest prob.  Currently I am going with Mendenhall in a big game...(the Ravens are NO lock to win in Cincy this week) and if the Steelers win, Ravens lose, they'll have the #2 seed and a bye.
Choosing the #2 rb is the prob.  I've got Arian Foster in a game that means nothing to Houston...and I've got Ben Tate.  I also have Ryan Matthews and DeAngelo Williams.
If Matthews wasn't a game-time decision and questionable with a bad calf, I'd go with him. Dammit!  Right now I've got DeAngelo Williams.

Stafford-Mendenhall-D. Williams-Colston-Maclin-Cook-Bailey-Jets...
that lineup's currently up against
Brady-S Greene-Benson-Bowe-Mi. Williams-Hernandez-Barth-Bears...
we have no add/drops or trades after Thanksgiving.

Whaddaya all think???

[Axl4Prez2004]

Well, no replies...I went with Stafford, Mendenhall-Tate-Colston-Maclin-Cook-Bailey-Jets D.

Stafford saved my ass and delivered me a clean sweep of my 2 fantasy leagues!!!  Life is good.
