McManus pts will help too.

Misread "head" as "hand" and though it was clever because he's a **** passer...
SHAZAM!

Suns traded Mikal Bridges, Cam Johnson, Jae Crowder and 4 1st round picks and a swap so some Vegas Bookies would like us.

In my other league, same format, I left Carr and his 500 yard, 4 td, 35 pt game on the bench. :banghead: Tough with Brady and Stafford..obviously should have played him over Stafford though. Luckily still have a 25 pt lead going into MNF, but he has Cutler, Asiata and Walsh.

I had Carr and Brady in another league, single QB. Started Brady. I ain't mad though, still won.

With McCown back, I'll finally have more than two choices at QB every Sunday for the first time in this league.

Guy I'm playing (Zero Tolerance) started Eli at QB despite Giants being on a bye this week.

It's that time of the year when people (like Zero Tolerance) at the bottom of the standings start losing interest.

I'm in two leagues, this one and one with a bunch of friends. My other league I'm undefeated, but in this one my team is so, so, so bad. Really just awful. Between injuries, a few players incredibly underperforming, and a couple of trades that didn't pan out very well, I'm pretty much screwed.

I like doing leagues like this with tons of position groups, but it does make it VERY difficult to find anything worth picking up on the waivers.

You just have to pick up guys before they have a big game with anticipation. For example, I ALMOST dropped Hogan in a league because he hadn't done anything yet, but decided to give him one more week being the deep threat for Brady and he caught a long bomb. That's also why I build super solid depth at RB. Even though Rawls is out now and Stewart was earlier I still had Devonta Freeman and Ezekiel Elliott, and now Stewart is back. Used first 4 picks on rbs I think and still got Rivers and Carr. Rivers underrated every year and Carr is huge this year.

I feel your pain. I also hate that I have among the last waiver order priority every single week.

Is it not done on a snake system?

you go to the bottom everytime you use waiver pick up. since you use it every week you are always towards bottom, i havent used it for few weeks and all the way up to 4th.

I see you add guys every week and yet you still have pretty good priority. Maybe very early in the season you didn't add anyone but I'd say you've used it regularly since last two months (looking at your roster about 70% of it is players you added from free agency, not the draft lol).

i generally add from free agent pool, not waivers. waivers clear on wednesday and players become free agents. that's why it is dumb to put a claim on defensive players on mondays or tuesday, which i see lot of people do.

Interesting. I tried adding someone now and it said it will only process on the morning of the 3rd so isn't that waivers too?

It's funny though I just looked to add one of the 3 Bucs backup RBs and all are taken :lol:

i wish whoever dropped khalil mack told me beforehand, i would've traded one of my mid tier runningbacks instead of wasting a waiver spot.
