same reasons I want to win as well, not becuase I sat on a waiver wire pick until the next Thomas Rawls showed up, but rather, you got Thomas Rawls, and I still won.

we have very basic fundamental differences in what fair means, and what sportsmanship means, and as we've always done, we need to agree to disagree..I wasnt even really going to say anything further on the subject than the simple voicing of my opinion on what "fair" meant in regards to this debate. .until the excuse of "rewarding owners who don't know how to draft came up"

@SteelersPride , I'm sorry I flew off the handle on you, but that ridiculous reasoning had always burned my biscuits, and apparently tonight, it just hit me wrong. hopefully no hard feelings, I know you weren't insinuating that.

all good sorry too

 

[Yellow Fuzzies]

Dude, you are nailing these recaps - and it is making me more competitive on my Barbarians' ones. Hats off to you!

Great write up TKO. enjoyed the entire read.

I think that will be a recurring theme until you lose again.... hint: you play me next week! (or this week I guess)

I'll chime in on the waiver order and playoffs.

As for waivers, I totally disagree with a weekly reset based on standings or points. As it presently exists, there is an element of strategy involved with when to use a priority claim or not. For the most part the guy setting at #1, 2, 3 and 4 are actually in a disadvantage since it takes a sure fire starter before anyone will use a those claims. It makes those guys less likely to 'gamble' than those from the middle to the end for fear of risking that position on a bust. I think what we have in place is fine, but if 'change' is what everyone wants then I'd support just randomizing it each week. I rarely use a waiver claims in this setting anyway. ...

One change I would support is to randomize the initial waiver order at start of the season rather than reverse of draft order.

As for playoffs, I'd support going from 4 to 6, more is always better and competitive. ...

 

[Trudem]

I agree that 6 playoff spots it more competitive. I also like the idea of allowing the higher seed to pick their opponent.

For waivers, I enjoy the rolling list. There is great strategy in when you use your priority. Although in a dynasty league giving the better team the higher priority is the only snag that I can see. In any redraft this seems like a no brainer for me. Randomizing for dynasty leagues could be useful.

Fudpuckers are open for business. .basically everyone but Cam on the block. definitely need a RB, a QB, or an open spot resulting from a 2 fer 1 (or 2 open spots ala 3 fer 1)

 

[leftypower]

I forgot to mention that the 'bid' system suggested by Tlance could be very interesting and perhaps resolve some issues. I have never been involved with one but would be willing to give that a go. Not sure if ESPN supports that approach though. .....

Also, one final thought - with short benches there are always guys available that can be used in a pinch (albeit, you have guess right though).

Likewise, most everyone available for the right price - perhaps we can make something work. .... I will take a look later today. If you see something in the meantime - I'm open to discuss. ...

 

[Bandit]

I'm willing to trade some running backs for some wide receiver help. I would be willing to package C.J. Anderson and Davantae Booker for a WR1. Or Tevin Coleman is also on the block for a WR2. Make me some offers.

do these WR's need to be playing this week...i.e...Dez on a bye? ??

That's a lot of spit !! - - give me a bit to process. .....

 

[Barilko]

Great work from Eastern Canada

didn't feel the need to go back and forth haggling over the details, figured I'd toss pretty much everything I'm agreeable to at once, and let you decide. ..still, if one of those don't suit your fancy, feel free to counter

 

[TREFF]

@Chef99 , offer your way as well. .couple of the guys involved also in the offer to Lefty...just full disclosure

Bandit,

Let's talk.

I would consider a couple different alternatives. Please let me know how you view my WRs. I know where they stood in your eyes a few weeks ago. What about now?

They do not necessarily have to be playing this week.

I love dealing with you T, you make things so much easier. One of the things that Matthew Berry always says is that you should ask the other person to rank your players for you because they could see them much differently than you would. Basically in your case, Demaryius Thomas is off the table and it's not because I don't see him as a decent choice, but having Emmanuel Sanders also, I can't have two Denver wide receivers as terrible as they've been on offense at times and I really think that Thomas and Sanders are equals as WR2's. That leaves Cooks and Benjamin because Maclin has even been terrible in good matchups so far this year. Honestly I think both of them are on the line of bottom WR1 top WR2's ranked somewhere between 11 and 15. Anything you want to send involving either of them I would definitely consider. I mean if you'd like to throw in Ezekiel Elliott I'd be fine with that too

Sending offer now.

Only way I throw in Zeke is if you are willing to deal your kicker in return!
