Speaking of that, just checked and I had a trade requests yesterday from @blackngold_bloodbut I don’t see it anymore, did you delete it or am I just not looking in the right place?

He probably executed a trade with someone else involving players in his offer to you...which made the offer go away.

I’ll go look shortly. I didn’t have any trades go through yesterday but I did cancel a couple before games started to see how things went.

They were offers I pulled before the games started on Sunday. I usually pull all the offers heading into Sunday’s games just in case injuries happen.  One was an offer for Chubb and the other was an offer for Diggs

That's after the Titans drove down and tied it up but before overtime -- went from 145.45 to 140.45 on that play thanks to defensive points dropping. Got lucky that the additional yards and 3 pts in overtime didn't knock my defense down another level -- held steady at an impressive -8 points. I'm now averaging -11 pts/week on DST this season, and that's with starting two different defenses -- is it frowned upon to just leave that spot open? 

Look, you guys can do whatever you want with a roster. If you want to forego a kicker or a DST, so be it. But before anyone thinks that DST scoring is being wonky, I'll note through two weeks scoring in the NFL is down almost a full point on average and yardage is about equal, within half a yard so the scoring is hitting the numbers and marks we were expecting for average performances.

So again, some teams people expected to be good defensively are having rough starts, some teams people didn't expect to be so good on offense are moving the ball, it's a bit early I think for a total punt of a position, but you could if you wanted.

Gonna put this here for the guys not on slack.  I am willing to part with Kamara and McLaurin. If one of these guys interests ya send me a fair offer. I am willing to do a 2 for 1 either way.  My trade block should help with guys I’m interested in.

I haven't been watching all of BnG's trades, but just took a look at his starting lineup (Mahomes, Kamara, Harris, McLaurin, Kelce). Its full of top 3 round picks...I don't even want to look back at how that happened, but he surely came out on top in several of those trades.

You mean all of those trades

[TBT]

I’m in the market for a decent RB..anybody got one they want to move

That's exciting! Mine is firmly in the "completely defeated" category. The return to fantasy has been unkind.

I'm second in the league in scoring through 2 weeks (only trailing you), but am 2-2. Such are the breaks in fantasy football 

[GolfSpy_BNG]

For those needing RB help(injury or otherwise). I have Fournette(as soon as trade is executed), Michel, or Zach Moss. I’m looking for a WR.

[GolfSpy_BNG]

We can hopefully get @STUDque to help ya out

[GolfSpy_BNG]

Gonna put this out now and see what comes of it. Looking to move Gibson/Fournette/Jones for a different RB. If I need to add something else to the deal I can but Mahomes/Kupp/Kelce are not going anywhere so don’t bother including them. Everyone else is fair game.

So many points left on my bench

[ChiefMikeOfficer]

 

Haven't scored a defensive point since putting up 3.0 in the semis of last year's playoffs. In the 4 weeks since, I'm at -3, -14, -8, -12. Really hoping I can just ride the waiver wire and not need to trade for something better -- I'm a little jealous of one of my opponents who had 2 DST on their roster with 20+ points scored this week.

My first two weeks my defenses were -8 each week, for a total -16, finally I got a few points this week from a defense.

I think maybe the strategy is to try and pick up whoever is playing the jets for the week.

[GolfSpy_BNG]

If anyone has tried to contact me on slack and I haven’t responded I apologize. My phone took a dump and I had to get a new one. Got it back a couple hours ago but lost the slack info. Will hopefully be up soon

[GolfSpy_BNG]

I put this on slack as well but @Rwagn4and I have a trade agreement for AJ Brown for Tee Higgins and Chubba. We are doing Chubba for AJ now and Tee Higgins for another player on Tuesday since the bengals have already played.

We're on the board!

Offset a bit by my kicker going out with a warmup injury, but still have a chance at a 2-0 week (or could go the other way).

So, in the interest of transparency, I have made a change to defensive scoring that does not effect any current matchup, nor any previously decided contest based on something brought to our attention yesterday in Slack by @blackngold_blood.

Apparently our imaginations were limited as to how poor offenses could play in the modern NFL and we did not account for teams having negative yards allowed on defense at any point. Now to be clear, a team finishing with negative yards has happened all of twice in league history, the Broncos in 1967 and the Seahawks in 1976 with -5 and -7 yards respectfully.

However, as this does affect live scoring as you won't be certain as to how many points your team has a certain point as the defensive yard scoring kicks in at 0, not a negative number. Therefore, we are adding another scoring range for yardage, Allowing anywhere from -100 to -1 yard will net you 10 points. Again, this will change nothing as far as results, it's just a change to impact live scoring to help you see where you are at and will likely never be an issue in the modern NFL

Clearly in response to the phenomenal Bills defense . Whoever owns them, good choice.

Haha I was just messing around. You didn’t have to change anything. Just thought it was more funny than anything.

No, we know, but in the commissioners chat we discussed it, realized we hadn't accounted for it, and as bad as some of the offensive performances have been this year, figured we might as well put a safe guard in place for it. I'm not expecting it to happen at all, because if it didn't happen in that Bears game, I don't see it happening, but it's there now just incase.

Really, it's added as a category more because we couldn't lower the range of the current highest rewarding yardage to a negative number because that screws up Fantrax something fierce, apparently values have to be both positive or both negative, not one of each.

[GolfSpy_APH]

For those pondering some moves over the next week. I'm going to have Hock on the block as well as Lockett and any and all bench players that I'm rostering. Including AJ Brown and Jeudy. Not looking for another TE, but rather another RB or WR. Feel free to send some offers!
