OFFICIAL 2013 FANTASY FOOTBALL TALK

I'm sure it's been discussed before, but what are your thoughts on tanking the last game of the regular season in order to set up an easier path to the championship? For example, you are guaranteed the #1 seed in the playoffs and in the final week of the season you play against a team on the cusp of the playoffs. Based on this team's roster and future matchups, you would rather play them in the playoffs so you bench your team to set up a rematch in the semifinals. Thoughts?
Do what you gotta do man...  Is it that stark of a difference between the two teams you could be playing?  If not I'd just roll with it.

This is just a hypothetical situation that started a debate with some friends. Say that Team A started off 5-0 then got ravaged by injuries and sits at 5-5. You would rather face them in the playoffs instead of Team B that is healthy and riding a 5 game win streak so you tank the last game against Team A to allow them into the playoffs instead of Team B.
 
missed it but what happened to James?!
got his ankle rolled on 1 yrd from the goal line

It makes sense logistically, but I've learned never to anger the fantasy gods. So I always just put my best line-up in and let chance do the rest.
 
Should i stay with Golden Tate? i assume yes?

i have Percy on the bench but Gate is hot and i see no reason for him slowing down especially against Minny.

I have Gronk at the flex

my team is finally clicking... 10-0 :hat

going against a decent team next week but i should win
Huh??? They've been clicking since week 1 :lol.

Yeah plus you're kind of screwing one of your buddies out of the playoffs.
This. If you're in a league with a bunch of randoms I guess its ok, but in a league with your boys I don't see how you could do this.

Bench-Hopkins, boykins, green Ellis and brown

I need a TE, miller is **** and I lost Kyle Rudolph
 
About to lose this week even though I was only down by 7.8 because the Bucs D wants to let Rishard Matthews eat their food and Glennon wants to stare down V-Jax all night and not throw to Wright.

That's tough. You do need a TE but you have very little depth elsewhere. If I had to choose one of those deals I'd say the Decker/Cameron one. Then start Brown or Boykin in the Flex. But like I said it's tough.

nah brah, ive been having a hard time scoring. Ive been getting lucky with some wins. trust me. i shouldnt be 10-0 but oh well. luck of the draw. everyone is telling me they dont care what my record is, they all say they arent scared of me in the playoffs.


dat disrespect
 
That last drive.. 2 sacks and the Revis pick put me up by 0.9.  SKIN OF MY TEETH.

I was down 2 points... Those 2 sacks and into gave me the lead and I won :hat :hat

In another league I had Lamar Miller... Not even 2 points :{ I was down 6, im pissed about his performance :lol
 
Just traded Kaep and James for Dez Bryant this past week. Didn't work out in either of our favor this week thought...

This girl in our league drafted Dalton with her first pick. Starts Denarius Moore, DeAngelo Williams and Gore. And she owns two kickers and two defenses. Her team is so wack, yet she's still second place right now. Smh

:rollin

how?
 
Apologize to anybody who started Tim Wright cause of my recommendation. Glennon usually locks onto him and V-Jax. He barely seemed to see the field or get looks tonight for some reason though.
