Cellar fantasy football 2018

lumberjim • Aug 1, 2018 7:48 pm
I've chopped 4 teams this year. The 4 that really didn't pay attention. This means we will have an easier time filling our rosters with quality players.

The teams remaining are in 2 divisions.

Slap & Tickle

Slap:
Helmets... Me
Chasers.. Amanda
Barking Toads. Ute
Goats.. Griff

Tickle:
Capybaras... Clobble
Troop... Zippy
Ruff Riders... Glatt
Forktards... Classicman

Log in, get your rankings set up for the draft on August 26th. Let me know if you need help.

Good luck this year!
glatt • Aug 1, 2018 9:05 pm
So I won't be guaranteed 4 wins, huh?
Undertoad • Aug 26, 2018 8:28 am
The commish says I drafted shitty and will go 0-fer this year!
Griff • Aug 26, 2018 9:45 am
Auto-draft... may not pay off
Clodfobble • Aug 26, 2018 12:17 pm
They say I'll place 5th. Fuck 'em, they don't know what they're talking about.
glatt • Aug 26, 2018 12:28 pm
When will I learn that auto-draft is not my friend?
zippyt • Aug 26, 2018 1:38 pm
Troop will SMASH again this Year !!!
lumberjim • Aug 27, 2018 12:04 am
You just never know. I got a C- and project 6th place finish. We'll see about that.

We’ll see what can be done when I get home.
Griff • Sep 6, 2018 7:17 am
Get your game on folks! Thursday Night Football.


I got the best back in the league who will not play this year. I'm sure his good attitude and suspension history will get him the contract he wants. The championship window is closing fast on the Big Ben era. The defense should be a year smarter and the receivers are ready maybe the Eagles would trade a spare QB to bring a terrible locker-room influence on board?
lumberjim • Sep 6, 2018 3:00 pm
I was going to suggest that you handcuff with James Connor, but I see you beat me to the tip. Good luck tonight!


Your Stillers sound like they are as sick of his shit as I am of hearing about it. The agent wants him to sit until week 9, and then return for week 10 so the season counts for his free agency. He has 'outperformed' his contract. yeah.

Whether Bell reports or not, some of his teammates are frustrated with the three-time Pro Bowler.
"What do you do? Here's a guy who does't give a damn, I guess so we'll treat it as such. I just hate it came to this," Steelers guard Ramon Foster said, via Pittsburgh Post-Gazette. "He's making seven times what I make twice as much as Al (Villanueva) is making and we're the guys who do it for him."


He's a good player. you can't take that away from him. But the franchise tender is what, $14mil? and it's going to cost him $885k per game he misses. I guess money is not the issue.


He can always fall back on his cRap career.
Griff • Sep 7, 2018 7:22 am
Money probably started as the issue and it went south from there. There was less guaranteed money in the huge contract he was offered than in his current contract. If he stayed healthy and out of legal trouble $70M seems sufficient. The locker room has turned against him. The linemen have let it be known that Conner knows the playbook much better. The book on Conner is he's a touch slower but a lot smarter. I just wish they'd traded him for a high draft pick when he was worth something.

Update: Nice troll of the Pats by the Eagles last night apparently, I always support trolling the Pats.
Undertoad • Sep 7, 2018 8:25 am
Wasn't that beautiful? :D

We forgot to talk shit yesterday. We'll do better when everyone is snowed in.
Clodfobble • Sep 10, 2018 11:58 am
I hear it's bad form to shit-talk after the game, though.

glatt • Sep 10, 2018 1:08 pm
There's still tonight's game. You can still shit talk as long as the dweller who is behind still has a shot at winning.
Clodfobble • Sep 10, 2018 2:17 pm
He has 60-ish points and two guys left to play. I'm gonna go out on a limb and say he does not. No offense, Philly Forktards. Just Keepin' It Real (tm). :)

lumberjim • Sep 18, 2018 3:52 pm
derp. take Keenan Cole .


why the hell are you carrying 2 kickers?



::reminds Amanda to grab Fitzmagic ::
Clodfobble • Sep 18, 2018 4:42 pm
I like having a backup for all the lesser positions so I don't get caught with my pants down on Bye weeks. If they're going to be on the bench, it doesn't matter if they're a 25-point RB or a 7-point kicker, they're still just a placeholder.
Clodfobble • Sep 21, 2018 10:26 pm
Just noticed the "Undroppable Players" link for the first time... what makes a player undroppable?
lumberjim • Sep 22, 2018 2:12 am
We don't use that feature. I think the nfl app decides. Premier players like Brady or Julio Jones or Aaron Rodgers.
Clodfobble • Sep 22, 2018 9:44 am
So the idea is that in real life, if the guy got injured his team can't just replace him because of the PR/contractual nightmares?
lumberjim • Sep 22, 2018 12:17 pm
I don't know why or how it works. I just know that I disabled it when I set the league up because I thought it was stupid.
Griff • Sep 22, 2018 12:24 pm
Is this where we talk shit? I don't know my team well enough yet to talk shit.
lumberjim • Sep 22, 2018 12:47 pm
yes it is, now go back to sucking, old man
Griff • Sep 22, 2018 2:57 pm
I choose when and where to suck, it is not my time!
lumberjim • Sep 23, 2018 12:50 pm
You've got Malcolm Stinkin' Jenkins on your team. That guy is a douche. I hope his asshole is itchy all game today and he steps on a Lego after they lose by 1.
lumberjim • Sep 23, 2018 5:35 pm
Really Brees?

::kicks shit around the room ::
Clodfobble • Sep 23, 2018 5:45 pm
GAH! I traded my damn kicker and then forgot to put the other guy in the slot. Only missed out on six points, and the Ruff Riders are gonna kick my ass anyway thanks to low-performing QBs, but goddamn. Stupid mistakes irk me.
glatt • Sep 23, 2018 6:05 pm
Your benched QB are doing really well this week. :p

Oh the irony.

Tough start for you this week. - 12 from your D and 132 points on your bench. Ouch.


Eta: I just realized how loaded your team is. Jesus. You could still win this week.
Griff • Sep 28, 2018 7:39 am
Forgot to check my team before Thursday. Doing ok. ;)
Clodfobble • Sep 30, 2018 11:46 pm
While I suppose it's technically possible my last WR could put up 82 points on Monday night, common sense says I got my ass handed to me... Good game, Toads!
Griff • Oct 9, 2018 6:19 pm
Ruff Riders, we're on for battle of the undefeated!
Undertoad • Oct 9, 2018 6:31 pm
I'm number ONE!

...on the waiver wire because I suck so bad. Team replacement ongoing

Ha! I autodrafted and made like 2 moves this year. Not doing much managing.
Griff • Oct 13, 2018 10:25 am
You're short a kicker, looks to be tight.
lumberjim • Oct 15, 2018 10:57 pm
5.5 minutes left and I need 18 more points out of Rodgers.
lumberjim • Oct 15, 2018 11:22 pm
Christ, he's gonna do it
lumberjim • Oct 15, 2018 11:27 pm
Omg. He did... And then clod had the kicker.... Didn't even notice that. Good thing he threw that last pass to Adams.

Phew! 278 to 274.

You've got lineup issues bro.
Griff • Oct 23, 2018 7:27 am
Slowly the waters around Toad warm...
Undertoad • Nov 5, 2018 11:43 am
I like it when these kinds of things happen dep't: Dallas just has to throw one single pass to their new prize WR Amari Cooper and I beat Jim's Helmets...

...even though James will be rooting for Cooper to be great for Dallas in his first game for them.

Pulling a hammy during warmups would be a terrible result for everybody!
Griff • Nov 5, 2018 5:13 pm
That's a tangled web.

I was too busy making that work bench on Sunday morning to notice that Sony was inactive.

You didn't have any options anyway, it's a bye week for everybody


any given bye week sunday
Clodfobble • Nov 7, 2018 6:57 pm
Welp, me and my 3-6 record are up against the undefeated Ruff Riders this week. This will surely go well.
glatt • Nov 7, 2018 8:38 pm
I'm a little light on quarterbacks this week.
glatt • Nov 12, 2018 6:28 pm
Congrats clodfobble!

Say what, now? I wasn't even paying attention--how exciting!

Clodfobble • Nov 27, 2018 8:03 pm
Thanks!
lumberjim • Nov 27, 2018 8:28 pm
ooh.... the plot thickens. this week, it's me vs clod for the 4th playoff slot. only 3 weeks? left I think?


you're goin DOWN, Rodent!


they are rodents, right?
lumberjim • Nov 27, 2018 8:30 pm
oh! NO. only 2 weeks. and I have to play glatt in week 14. I'm fooked....unless I win, AND Amanda can beat clod for me in wk 14.

Aquatic rodents. You never see 'em coming.
lumberjim • Dec 4, 2018 6:00 pm
One week left of the regular season. If I lose, which is likely, and Tony wins, which is likely... And clod wins which is 50/50, we will have a 3 way tie for the 4th seed. Dunno who would win the tie breaker.....
Undertoad • Dec 4, 2018 7:18 pm
He hasn't dropped Kareem Hunt, he's gonna lose

It took 13 weeks but I finally got my team the way I like it.
Griff • Dec 5, 2018 7:53 am
It took 13 weeks for mine to completely fall apart. Football appears to be a rough game on the body.
lumberjim • Dec 7, 2018 3:58 pm
Derek Henry was on the bench. Not my bench, thankfully. You mad bro?
Undertoad • Dec 7, 2018 7:21 pm
Yeah WTF, dude's been wildly unremarkable all year!

I mean I coulda realized that the Jags truly suck and maybe the play at this time of year is against defenses that are tanking it
lumberjim • Dec 7, 2018 10:02 pm
You might be onto something there...

I'mma state right here and now that my one remaining wide receiver is gonna score 55 points Monday night, and the Chasers' last DP will score none. That's my story and I'm sticking to it.
Griff • Dec 10, 2018 7:04 am
Seems legit.
Undertoad • Dec 10, 2018 8:27 am
At least I had Amari, sheesh
lumberjim • Dec 10, 2018 10:11 am
Takes away some of the pain when your team loses, but you win your fantasy game.
lumberjim • Dec 10, 2018 10:13 am
I've got 60 points on glatt, but I think I'll lose. I hate rooting for the sea hawks, but.... I like rooting against that weirdo ex redskin, Cousins.
Undertoad • Dec 10, 2018 10:46 am
when your team loses


That was about as even as we get, I don't call it a loss with that freak finish in OT. Sad that (hard-working backup CB) Rasul Douglas gets credit for a pass breakup and giving up a TD. Birds remarkable defense showed up at times, even despite practice squad and backup guys filling out the secondary. Something's still wrong with the offense and they rarely show up for more than a single half. Too many guys on the O line are playing hurt. Everything is still slightly off. At least Sproles got a meaningful TD, finally.

Next year will be different

I pretty much hate the Redskins, and I feel like they kicked Cousins to the curb after all he did for them, so I wish him well in real life, and of course since he's on my team, I wish him well in fantasy too.

It helps that my two remaining players this week are both on the same team, so I can just root for the one team.
lumberjim • Dec 10, 2018 7:10 pm
Who is your team then, glatt?
glatt • Dec 10, 2018 9:17 pm
Good question. I don't really have one.
lumberjim • Dec 10, 2018 11:12 pm
That was too close. 259. 60 to 255.00

I am victorious.

Which means we have a rematch next week.

Shit.


Or maybe I'll have the goats. Also shit
glatt • Dec 11, 2018 6:05 am

One quarter to play, and the projected score is Griff 240.3 to Amanda 239.0

Tricky game to root for.

Game Ovah.

Congrats glatt and Amanda, good game, griff!

Final game spans the last two regular season games, and a champion will be crowned. Good luck to Amanda and glatt.

Gooooo Chasers, boooo ruff riders!

Losers of this round will play for seeding.

Crazy game. If Brees throws to Kamara or McCaffrey It's meaningless, if Saints D comes up big I'm screwed because Brees doesn't have to throw to keep up if Saints running game works I'm hosed. Thankfully Goats lose so I can root for my Steelers against the Saints next week. Great game Amanda!
lumberjim • Dec 29, 2018 11:45 am
Griff,

I'm hearing that Brees will be riding the pine this week.
I dropped a couple qbs for you to grab if you want.


Glatt, Elliott will probably only play 1st quarter.

Verify, and adjust.
Griff • Dec 29, 2018 1:17 pm
Ah thanks. 2nd loser bowl...
glatt • Dec 29, 2018 10:40 pm
Thanks.

Good luck, Chasers.
Griff • Dec 30, 2018 9:49 am
Goff was pulled early in the last game, I feel like my qb's were too successful this year making the last two weeks a points vacuum. Foles is a nice start for Jim.
lumberjim • Dec 30, 2018 9:00 pm
We have a new Champion.

Congrats Chasers! That's her second title.



Good year, Glatt!

Good football day today. Eagles are in, Cowboys won... I hope they meet in the championship game.
Undertoad • Dec 30, 2018 9:15 pm
You have to hope that... otherwise you probably have to play the Saints in New Orleans!
