Suicide/Coma Teams

[TREFF]

When will the rosters be available on espn?

The last time I tried was July 4th..espn still hadn't unlocked the offline Draft tools as of yet. . Soon as they do ill do the "A" stuff, as I'm sure Spiller will do the "B".

FYI, Milk, Coma 1 is set up with 1 division, 15-week regular season, top two teams meet Week 16 for the playoff.

Don't want to reinvent the wheel here but why does the coma and suicide not use week 17. Isn't that more suicidal?? In fact I am beginning to think that all leagues should go through week 17. Especially all redraft leagues.

Not sure of the logic to go into week 17 for a championship game when the studs on NFL playoff teams will be sitting or play 1/2 game. ........ however, coma may produce some decent scores.

savy waiverwire moves... Make the championship week 2 weeks!!! just saying... Fantasy football being only 16 weeks is sad.... especially when there is one more week!!!

I also wonder how true it is that Fantasy studs sit on week 17... Wonder if there is a research... calling will white or average Joe!!!

I think the change is slowly coming, Milk. The way the league has turned the schedule, there are now divisional games at the end. Still, there will always be teams that can't effect their playoff rank in week 17 and therefore will not risk injury. I think if standard leagues start turning towards this (and possibly 2- QB leagues) then the bench limit must increase.

I just hate week 17 and all the issues that it can create in a regular league...but in the Coma those issues seem appropriate.

Ill do my suicide roster first

QB- Cam newton, Eli manning
RB- Adrian Peterson, Toby Gerhart, Trent Richardson, Deangelo williams
WR-Julio Jones, Alshon Jeffrey, Reggie Wayne, Julian Edelman, Terrance williams
TE-Vernon Davis
K-Nate Freese
D-Patriots

Lets start with QB........i got Cam Newton in the 7th round, i mean come on hes never been outside the top 4 in fantasy scoring, and take away his wr's, fine, they stunk anyways, run cam run.......and Eli can't be that bad again can he, otherwise hes serviceable.......

RB- Adrian Peterson, nuff said, Both Richardson and Gerhart have great oppurtunities to be bell cow type backs. Richardsons talent didnt disappear........and in a high powered offense im high on him.....real high.....and i get deangelo as a last resort, not bad

WR- tickled here.......julio jones, alshon jeffrey should start weekly.......but reggie wayne, edelman, and terrance williams arent any slouches and can be starters any week for most teams

TE- Vernon Davis, got him in the 6th round, theres not many better than him

D- Pats, not the best, but young, fast, good sack production, and turnovers.......

K-Nate Freese- Rookie kicker in a team that racks up points, why more people dont rank him higher is beyond me

Like all others im high on my team.........but curious as to others thoughts, and where they see my faults in drafting

So, with that said what is everyones thoughts of making a 2 week championship for Coma?? and suicide???

Not even going to ask for MBBRL

 

[TKOSpikes]

That's a heck of a team Steelers... well done. Possible let down at RB2, but that's it, ...and in the same breath, a possible monster at RB2.

 

[SteelersPride]

i figured i have a 2 rb;s in gerhart and richardson that have shots to be big, if i hit with one, im set.........the other can be a dud

but thanks for the compliments

I don't mind missing out on Week 17. I prefer to "change" things pre-draft, but this isn't a major change, so as usual I would side with the majority... however, if I'm the tiebreaker, I would keep it as is.

 

[SteelersPride]

Suicide A
QB - Stafford, Dalton
RB - Forte, DeMarco Murray, DeAngelo Williams, Christine Michael
WR -Torrey Smith, M. Colston, Hakeem Nicks, Riley Cooper, Marvin Jones
TE - Gronk
K - Dan Bailey
DST - Chiefs

Took RBs with first two picks, grabbed 4th best QB then got Gronk who can carry a fantasy squad when healthy. Waited on WRs but not unhappy with the results-I like Cooper and M Jones as #4 & #5 WRs. Chiefs were top fantasy DST in 2013. Overall happy with my team.

Coma 1
QB - Carson Palmer, Jake Locker
RB - Ahmad Bradshaw, Devonta Freeman, Dexter McCluster, Shonne Greene
WR - James Jones, Rod Streater, Stevie Johnson, Andrew Hawkins, Nate Washington
TE - Martellus Bennett
K - Robbie Gould
DST - Packers

Got lucky with my draft position to pick up Carson Palmer at QB. As well as I could have expected with my RBs- Bradshaw could be very good and Dexter is the wild card catching passes out of the backfield. I need the Raider WRs to perform and Bennett to remain a favorite of Cutler. I should be OK in Coma assuming no devastating injuries. Decided to punt a week in this format. I have 8 of my 14 positions with week nine byes.

hate to tell u fuzzies but as of now mccluster is a wr for espn purposes

I dunno about cold hard research, but even if they don't sit, they dont' always play the whole game, nor do they play "to win" when they are in there at all times.
Personally, in my own money league, we've always played week 17 as our title, but being as thats always been the case, owners draft, and prepare for it.
No way I'd cast a vote at this time to move the title game to week 17, or combine it with 16 after the drafts, especially with no waiver moves. Being as there's at least one guy at minimum who planned on a certain Lions guy not playing at Lambeau field this season.
seems like something that should be discussed, voted on, before next season.

yeah we had that discussion during the draft. His rookie season he had the rare dual eligibility at RB/WR, last year he was strictly a WR. Guess it'll come down to what the final Titan's depth chart lists him as, and when ESPN finalizes its end, or if they keep it fluid throughout the year.

I just typed out the whole thing, and halfway through my COma team, I lost the post..to hell with it after that..

Let's just say I'm not overly thrilled with either of those two teams, but I have some good feelings about it overall. Really happy about Helu, Shoelace, and Starks as 3 of my 4 RB's in Coma

you think helu ever gets a shot

 

[leftypower]

Believe at worst he remains the 3rd down and hurry up back, as well as giving Morris an occasional breather. He will get touches every game and that's about the best you can hope for in Coma !!
