thats proper as long as you can a. make it like a snake draft instead of say the worst team getting as many players as they want before the second worst team gets their pick and b. you can limit the number of players a team can claim under the process

[Munson]

yeah you can make it snake, and most guys aren't gonna be waiver claiming more than 2 guys in a week anyway

up to a 10 game losing streak in igy's league in the worst fantasy season known to man.... the 2 quaterbacks on my roster scored a combined 4.97 this week.

[ice grillin you]

i was hoping youd win so bad....now no chance i beat you this week and its going to knock me out of the playoffs

[SunMo]

you're favored by like 20 points.  although it could be karma for when we played and you had half a team on bye and the replacements all went off and you almost scored 200 pts

[ice grillin you]

funniest thing about that game (and perhaps your season in a nutshell) is me being forced to play hakeem nicks and him scoring 16 pts when he only has 67 all season

[phattymatty]

thats not really that funny.

[ice grillin you]

so me and sunny are talking about his 10 game losing streak and i tell him im sure i have it beat

so i go back to the records....in 2006 (13 in a row) and first three games of 2007 i had a 16 game losing streak

im pretty sure this will never be touched

Question for the CBS Sportsline FF guys.  I'm in a league with a dumb rule, but one that actually benefits me.  We're allowed a total of 8 RB/WR combo at any given time on your total roster excluding IR'd players.  In week 10, I  won my matchup, but an official rescore of stats ended up leaving the matchup in a 115.85 exact tie.  Ends up the guy I played had 9 players which resulted in his win based off Bench point total vs mine.  Just to be sure before I go ahead and file a protest, I'm not showing any of his players on IR at this time.  Is there a way to see what players were on fantasy team issued IR? 

[phattymatty]

wow how fargin lucky has burke been this year? dude has the least points in the league and is sitting in 3rd.

[ice grillin you]

yeah its been ridiculous....hes had basically eight games where his opponent has scored 100 or less

[ice grillin you]

we have a great race to finish the year in fantasy right now

team A has matt forte and a 12 pt lead
team B has dez bryant and witten

if team B wins he wins his division ($250)....if he loses he misses the playoffs completely and a team C would get in while a team D would win the division

Need some opinions for my work/fanduel lineup, which two would you go with:

Cooper vs. Minny D and Lacy vs. Cowboys D (all signs point to Lacy playing)

Or

Stacy vs. New Orleans D and Torrey Smith vs. Detroit's D

I'm going with option A, primarily because running backs don't put up a lot of points vs. the Saints D. I think Stacy is the better back and Smith the better WR. Rodgers is not playing so Lacy should get a lot of work and Cooper should put a lot of points up on a decimated Vikings D.

Opinions?

Also I'm going with Cam Newton (vs. the Jets) as my QB over Foles and Stafford (Ravens D). Opinions on that as well.

[Munson]

I like option A better there.


Should I go Chiefs D on the road against Oakland, or Panthers D at home against the Jets?

My heart says Chiefs D since they've been huge for me most of this year...gut says Panthers have the slightly better matchup, and are at home which should help.

[SD]

Panthers at home...the jets offense is turnover prone and the panthers are looking at a rebound performance from last week
