    Didn't even think about the sacks. Felt like everything was riding on keeping them out of the end zone.

    Well, we have a unique scoring system. Sacks and turnovers get us two points each, then it's a sliding scale for points allowed. So I still had to hold my breath for them to keep Buffalo out of the end zone.

    Went 2-1 this week -- and the team that lost had the highest score among the three. It also had the second-best score in its league.

    I need your guys help: We play in the espn fantasy, and 6 of the 10 teams make the playoffs. ESPN automatically assigns 7-10 their own fakakta playoffs... who cares, EXCEPT - those idiots still use waiver transactions during the 'real' playoffs.

    The commish says there is nothing he can do about it. Does anybody else know anything else?

    Have a gentleman's agreement not to do it?
    In one of my old leagues, we put a spin on the "Toilet Bowl" by making it the team with the lowest score wins. You had to make a good faith effort and fill out a full, active lineup. If you used injured players or special teamers who haven't had a carry or catch all year, you got hit with a 50-point penalty for each of those players in your lineup.
    It kept bad teams from gobbling up the good waiver wire players late in the season. It was also harder to field a shitty, active team than you'd think.
    Could you do something like that, either be tweaking the settings or by everyone's agreement?

    Kapri Bibbs vs. NO or Yeldon vs. HOU this week? Thoughts?

    I ask this in all seriousness.
    Who in the flying hell is Kapri Bibbs?

    Denver RB. Looks like he's overtaking Devontae Booker as the Broncos lead back in the absence of CJ Anderson.

    Hey, guys, having some last-minute indecision.

    Two questions:

    Travis Kelce at Carolina or Delanie Walker vs. Green Bay at TE?

    LeGarrette Blount vs. Seattle or Doug Martin (back, but supposedly limited or on a snap count) vs. Chicago?

    You learn something new all the time. After finding this out, I went and plucked him off the waiver wire and have him in the lineup today.
    Thanks!
    Unless he has three carries for 5 yards and no catches. Then screw you! :)

    Started Kelce and, of course, regretting it instantly as Walker catches a TD pass from... DeMarco Murray?

    EDIT: Just checked -- Walker has a 41-yard catch, too.

    D'oh!

    You might be leaning toward the latter -- Booker already has 7 carries for 37 yards.
