With a large bench and a flex spot, RB scarcity was almost a given. Should always carry your handcuffs for your top backs.
McNichols may not be a valid handcuff given the signing of Adrian Peterson to the Titans. At the very least the Titans have doubts about McNichols filling that void.In post 425, Nero Cain wrote:With a large bench and a flex spot, RB scarcity was almost a given.

Pretty sure no one has both Edwards and Connor. For those not in the know, Nero has Edwards and Montgomery with none of their backups. He had to trade for AJ Dilon to backup Aaron Jones not long ago. Given how carries were spread amongst the titans last night, its more clear now that Titans were not prepared for King Henry to get hurt eitherIn post 427, PokerFace wrote:McNichols may not be a valid handcuff given the signing of Adrian Peterson to the Titans.

Having handcuffs not always viable given some other scenarios. Having Chubb and Hunt and D' Ernest. Having Montgomery and Williams and Herbert. Having Ceh and Williams and Gore. Running back position is getting passed around on many teams this year.
That's why those things are bad, but also FAAB fixes those very stupid things. We could have a league that isn't completely dependent on not using waivers and praying someone else's starter gets hurt. We can have nice things.In post 425, Nero Cain wrote:With a large bench and a flex spot, RB scarcity was almost a given. Should always carry your handcuffs for your top backs.
It's *almost* like the Henry's handcuff got hurt in the preseason.In post 431, PokerFace wrote:Pretty sure no one has both Edwards and Connor.

Henry may be back in time for playoffs but my team is unlikely to be in contention then. So if someone wants to trade and welcome the return of the king, I am listening
Interesting, but I'm not really sure how to interpret it properly. Is this craziness due to the flex position or is any head-to-head league inherently swingy?In post 436, D3f3nd3r wrote:Spoiler: Current Every-Team-Every-Week Standings in L1 (Actual standings in parentheses)

It's pretty normal for things to be like this. It lines up with total points scored pretty well - despite being in 10th in the standings, Yiley is third in points scored.In post 437, Kublai Khan wrote:Interesting, but I'm not really sure how to interpret it properly.

I thought my schedule was bad, but looks like Yiley may have it worst or perhaps Wagons does since he has most points against. I am glad I did not play Yiley on the week we tied in score. I have gotten 4 ties in the past in actual games I have played on yahoo. I do not want to see that stat increase.D3f3nd3r wrote:Spoiler: Current Every-Team-Every-Week Standings in L1 (Actual standings in parentheses)

Football already has an OT solution that prevents ties and is one of the most exciting situations in sports. No idea why the NFL hasn't adopted it. It isn't even an Elam ending situation where the data is fairly new and garnered from a weird place talent wise. The solution is literally used to decided 100s of games every year, many of which by NFL talent.In post 440, PokerFace wrote:I thought my schedule was bad, but looks like Yiley may have it worst or perhaps Wagons does since he has most points against.

I feel football should have found a good way to get rid of ties by now. Shortening Overtime in recent years increased them and increased the chance one team could have the ball the entire time of overtime. I like how overtime has play continue after a field goal when one team has not touched the ball. I like how it does not continue if someone gets a touchdown. This put emphasis on both offense and defense imo. But if things are still tied after overtime, I would like to see a dual of kickers. Something like what Russel Wilson describes here: https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/russ ... kes-sense/
