Crazy that two of the top three in points scored didn't make the playoffs.

Especially Agent.  Because he had the best team and is the real champ if you really think about it.

 

Redden took the #6 seed by 0.64 points

I'm highly anticipating the 1,000 word essay explaining how he is the true winner of the league, and then suggesting a bunch of batshit crazy rule changes that will ensure that he is crowned champion for every fantasy season from now until the end of time.

not worried. Herbert had 300+ yards and more TDs will be had in future games. Always a gamble in present-day football to have WR or RB in the flex. Maybe I should have started Gordon. He wouldn't have won me the week, but the extra 14pts would have looked better on my PF after Week 1. Murray went earlier than I expected and right before I was hoping to take him at the top of the 5th. That hurts because while he won't put up 40 every week, his production will be huge. Then with Murray gone Hockenson and TE was alternative since no other QB was worth that high of a pick, and he went literally the pick before mine and his 25pts (again, not likely to be a weekly thing) dwarfs Andrews 5 last night. But I'll survive and never overreact to week 1

 

Story of my season...I drop 150, they drop 200

Not gonna lie, after a while I do sort of look forward to watching football without worrying about __________ performing/not performing.

I pointed out maybe a month ago that Hukd potentially had the best roster but was at risk of missing the playoffs because of schedule randomness. While highly unlikely, you could have a team that scores 2nd highest in the league every week, yet face the 1st highest scoring team every week of the year, so you 0-14 on the season. 

I would love next year to have a W-L record that either treats is as H2H against the whole league (aka, you could come out of week 1 with an 11-0 record if you scored the most) or H2H still and top-6 scoring teams get a W that week and bottom 6 get a L. So if you were in the scenario of 2nd highest scoring every week but always facing 1st highest, your season record would be 14-14 at worst.

When we started this league, it was a no brainer to put a RB in the flex spot. But today the 3rd RB on your roster might get 7 touches a game and while the 3rd WR might get 3 touches a game, 3 reception for 47 yards is better than 7 carries for 65 yards. 

If BBE (11-3) and I (6-8) switched schedules, his team would be 7-7 and mine would be 8-6. That includes us still facing each other the same week and him getting a W. So removing our games against each other, his 10-3 season becomes a 6-7 season and my 6-8 becomes an 8-5. 

Schedule randomness is a real epidemic that is destroying Fantasy Football across the nation!

In terms of points scored-to-date this season, my roster consists of:

QB3

RB5, RB11, RB17

WR13, WR17 (plus an injured AJ Brown  )

TE1

Every one of which I Drafted, which means spreadsheets work and randomized schedule and traditional H2H are teh fail!

Schedule randomness is the point of schedules.  If you want a better record draft better.

 

Now, mikemack is in the driver's seat to take the league with the way his team is performing.

If us swapping schedules means my record becomes way better and yours becomes way worse, that blatantly proves the final regular season results have nothing to do with quality of drafting. Just luck of the draw.

Or possibly, just possibly making sure your lineup produces enough points to win based upon each players match-up.

 

Your oversimplification leads to your ridiculous hypothetical.

Enjoy the consolation rounds.

you did "better" than me simply because of randomization of the schedule. If you played my schedule you would have put up a worse record than I did against my schedule. If I played your schedule, I would have put up a better record than you did. That means in 2 possible scenarios involving scheduled that actually happened, my team would have "performed" better than yours 2 out of 2 times. What's even more wild though is that doesn't eliminate the randomness, because if you and I played each other all 14 weeks, I think you would have gone 8-6 against me, so while I'd do better against both your schedule and my schedule than you would have done, you'd have outperformed my by an extra game with straight H2Hs all season.

This is why next year our regular season weekly matchups should evolve to W-L taking into consideration our performance versus the rest of the league!

All I am hearing when I read this is the drone of someone who has once again not made the playoffs and will come up with any argument no matter how far fetched to justify his belief that once again he just wasn't good enough to make the playoffs. 

 

Last year it was Redden (which I do sympathize with you about), but this year is just ridiculous.   Let's just abandon all the historical rules of fantasy football to make sure Agent gets into the playoffs. 

 

Once again, the consolation bracket is the bottom one.  Just scroll down to see who your team is against.

Makes sense that the guy benefitting with a #1 seed as a result of a flawed system would want to keep it in place!

Part of it is knowing you all get a kick out of me when these scenarios happen! But the fact that 2 of the 3 highest scoring teams in a 12-team league miss the playoffs entirely shows that the system is broken. Its not like actual football where any of us can play "defense" against our "scheduled" opponent to keep them from winning. I know baseball (which I have never done) is the other large fantasy sport behind football, and they do those ROTO scores or whatever where they get points for how they perform in all these categories to effectively capture who the best teams/managers are. The fact that it is possible for a team to score the second most points every week and finish with a 0-14 justification enough that the H2H is outdated and our weekly scores should be ranked against the 11 other teams.

Do you know what fantasy football didn't use to have? Flex positions. Points Per Reception. There are plenty of "changes" we use today that go against historical fantasy football, with other proposed changes like getting rid of kickers. Just because H2H is how most leagues have done it over the decades doesn't mean that's what makes the most sense in the 2020s! 

 

In honor of the Multiverse being captured in theaters tomorrow night, I am tracking the playoffs in the universe where you and I had our schedules swapped, where you drop from the 1-seed to the 5-seed and I jump up to the 2-seed.

 This is the content I'm here for 

Agent - I just want you to know I'm rooting for you to win it all in another dimension!  Question - in this other dimension, are you more of a dog person or still a cat person?

Here @Agent23, I got your your FF Trophy for another season well done.

 

 

 

 

 

 

You're welcome everyone else

I was out....in the woods.  Me not being able to fill out my roster one week doesn't "lose a championship" for another player.  The idea that it did is absurd.  Agent is a sore loser, plain and simple, and his last few posts prove it.

I wasn't questioning the specifics on your end.  I somewhat sympathize due to the situation that someone's actions resulted in losing a playoff berth.

 

Wasn't meant to call you out on it.

Thanks, I didn't take it that way.

It's just that every time I read too many of Agents post season excuses, my virgina starts to hurt.
