Spiller at #15, -4.30, courtesy of ww
Romo at #5, -4.00, courtesy of dblake

(That's a whole lotta Joe.)

Not one extreme pick from the Fuzzies. Can't seen to get away from the conservative accountant view. Has worked for me so far but can be boring at times.

Le'Veon Bell at #23, -4.36, courtesy of ww and dblake

This could make some hay for dblake and me - looks like Bell can play Week 2.

 

[SmokingMonkey]

dammit - didnt get a chance over the weekend to update my lists.
Glad to see that I was only on the extreme calls list 1x, and that was with DMC at 14.

Pole Position

Things will change a ton over the next few weeks as things start to shake out, so these are verrrry early results, with lots of RBs in the mix who will fall away soon (kinda like a marathon; anybody can be in the lead group for the first half mile).

I had mentioned that a positive result is good. Tlance and Sam are kinda close for QB at -8.10 and -9.10, but everyone's a mess at RB. Best picks at the moment are everyone who had AP #1, and TKO and I with Peyton (+34.56); worst pick is Spiller at #1 (he's tied for #39), dumping on Tlance to the tune of -103.68.

Bear in mind that Spiller could go off for 45 next week and move up to #1 - or "go off" for 15 and at least get respectable.

I blame our collective terribleness at this point on the Evil Eight: Ray Rice, Spiller, TRich, MJD, Ridley, David Wilson, Brees and Brady. Those guys are costing us all between 300-420 points.

After Week 3
Now with charts and graphs!









Couldn't quite get all the RBs to show, but the remaining ones barely have an effect. Let me know if I got something wrong somewhere!

 

[Sam Sportboy]

That's awesome Will............really makes it easy to see who is killing my rankings....................and my teams. I lost by 3 freaking points in my money league...............thanks Kaps. And Gore (not your fault though). And Arian. And DMC (only scored 7 points in that scoring format). And Andre................and and and! I hope, I really hope Harbaugh decides this team needs to run the damn ball first and throw off of that. Kaps need to run the ball more IMO..............

 

[wilwhite]

Of all the coaches, Harbaugh seemed the one who freaked out the most about the change in rules making it easier to hit the QB in read-option.

By the way: Joe, surprisingly, has the single best ranking on the board. He had Spiller down at 17, so he's only being dinged -32, and just about everybody else is being dinged by him in the 70s, 80s and 90s. Poor Tlance has Spiller at #1 and is getting bashed for more than 100. (On the other hand Tlance could gain ground fast with a couple of explosive games.)

WooHoo! One out of 60!!

Had to reply while at work.... and if you're trying to improve your disdain ranking with a compliment (above) and your charts... it ain't happening. But nice try.

Well what can I do to degrade my own? I want that top spot!!

BTW, excellent job Will

 

[averagejoe]

Well what can I do to degrade my own? I want that top spot!!

My Disdain Rankings will be based on who put the biggest hurt on my fantasy team. Need I remind you that your victory over me was more of my own "David Wilson's fumbling and subsequent benching" (minus 3 points, loosing by one point,) than your Fudpuckers. Based on that, you may start dropping in the rankings (if I incur any more losses).

To paraphrase a famous rant: "The Fudpuckers are who we thought they were. And we let 'em off the hook."

 

[TREFF]

To be fair..Danny Traviathon pulling a DJAX should have given me another five. ..7pt loss better than a 2pt loss??

 

[Barilko]

incredible work Wil... as always...amazing...

 

[wilwhite]

After Week 4









Everyone's solidly positive on QBs, but we collectively all got a little worse on RBs.

Le'Veon Bell jumped from nowhere to the 37th spot, ahead of Ridley, even though Ridley has played every week, and only one spot behind MJD.

Biggest jump in score goes to Barilko, who went up 74.68 to vault from the 15th spot to the 12th.

 

[MilkSpiller22]

As long as i beat joe i will be happy...

 

[SmokingMonkey]

seems about right, as I am 11-5 in my 4 money leagues right now, glad to see I'm creeping up in the rankings game as well. Damn You awards go out to Spiller, Rice, Brady, and Kaeps.....glad I only have Rice and Kaeps in 1 league each, and its not the same league, thank god!

 

[wilwhite]

After Week 5












This time our QBs got a little worse but our RBs got a lot better.

 

[wilwhite]

After Week 6













Sneakily, Fuzzies has moved up from 15th after Week 1 to 7th now.

 

[TKOSpikes]

all that second guessing, and in the end I leave Rivers out of the equation
