I try, but when I have someone in one league that I did not get and playing against in another league... I get conflicted.
I try not to, but I'm not going to pass a guy up just cause I drafted him in another league

It's not uncommon for me to have a lot of overlap between my fantasy teams. If there's players I like, I'm not going to stop liking them if it's a different format or league-size.
Between my 4 leagues and my FBG subscriber contest entry, here are my overlapping players for 2014...
Own In 3 Leagues
Mark Ingram
Cordarrelle Patterson
Own In 2 Leagues
Dan Bailey
Kelvin Benjamin
Jay Cutler
Zach Ertz
Jimmy Graham
Shayne Graham
Andrew Hawkins
Carlos Hyde
Andrew Luck
Knowshon Moreno
Panthers D/ST
Terrance Williams
This is an especially common occurrence in years when I have 3 or more leagues running out of a single site as I will often tailor my draft strategy around exploits and gaps in the default rankings provided on Yahoo! or ESPN to know when to reach or when not to reach.
This year was a bit of a different story as I'm having a cup of fantasy coffee on a lot of different sites as opposed to making one my primary home base. I'm also dabbling with the weekly payroll mini-games on Draft Kings for the first time.

Yes especially if I have a similar draft position. There's only so much research you can do

You must be happy that I started my stud against the Seachickens... the one team it's probably not a good idea to start your studs against.
Promising start to your matchup this week.
Starks has looked better than Lacy tonight
I think the Seattle defense just looks better than them both.
lol true

Harvin doing work for me tonight!

Harvin's a stud - so long as he's healthy.
Doubly so in PPR/return yardage leagues like this one.
I had him ranked in the top 10 receivers in this league.
Only went with Cordarrelle because I like his upside and durability more.
But Harvin's a force - dude even gets rushes. More rushing yards than Lacy tonight.

If there's a Lacy owner in another league you're in that lacks fantasy experience, I can envision some panic buttons being pushed after tonight. May provide some buy-low trade possibilities.
Especially due to the split-usage with Starks (something that was NOT supposed to happen; Starks was not supposed to be a change-of-pace guy) and how much more effective he's been (averaging 5+ yards per carry).
You may want to start tossing trade offers to paranoid Lacy owners - not just this week but his next two matchups against the Jets and Lions also suck. Those were Top 3 defenses vs. the run last season. His value is going to drop a bit for the unlearned until his outlook improves starting in Week 4.
Don't bother doing that with me in this league, though. I'm keeping him and enjoying the juicy waiver priority that losing brings with it.
But that's a tip you should be employing in other leagues as the frustration and losses build.
EDIT: Oooh... now he's got a concussion. He may not even play next week now. The "buy low" opportunities continue to build.

Given the way he's performed in past opportunities I wouldn't expect much from Dwyer even if Ellington is out an extended period of time. It'll be Mendenhall redux from last year and we all remember what a nightmare that was for anyone who started him. Expect Stepfan Taylor to switch off with Dwyer between the 20s with Dwyer getting any goal line work exclusively.
Thankfully I own Ellington in one shallow league and I'm already flush with depth there. Sucks for anyone else who invested heavily in him, though. With guys like Ellington, Welker and Newton going down before a single game is played, it just goes to show how it doesn't matter how late you wait to draft with the way stuff is being disguised pre-season.

Posted this in the other fantasy football thread.
Damn. Can I ask for questions here or is there another thread for that?
I missed out on picking up Gordon from the waiver wire. I thought I had time to make a decision (short bench, don't have anyone of significance but thought I could think on it) and someone picked him up this morning.
I thought waivers didn't go through until the week was over?? Someone please explain.

So do you use a waiver claim (I'm priority#1) for a free agent?

Ugh I might be fucked next week. Lacy and Ellington are my starting RB's and Ray Rice is suspended until week 3. All I have left is Pierre Thomas and Christine Michael (who might not play next week either). X_X

You may need to take a flyer on a free agent RB. Keep your fingers crossed that Lacy clears concussion protocol so you can field him alongside Thomas.

Waiver claim numbers are only for claiming players before Tuesday or when someone is recently dropped. So if I drop a player now, everyone gets 2 days to claim that player. If more than one person claim them, THEN it goes by waiver priority. If they clear the wire without anyone trying to pick them up, then anyone can just pick them up

Oddly enough, I expect him to have a really nice game tomorrow provided that he plays.

Lamar Miller's having himself a nice start to the season.
Should provide you with some nice RB depth going forward.

It took balls to start Hurns against me instead of your Bronco-Charger romance of the week.He's on my bench but Hurns just scored
Nicely done.
*takes a bow*
He scores again...He's on my bench but Hurns just scored
Like I said sleeper of the year!
They will win.

Sure they will. Just like my Bills will beat the Bears.
Cloudy needs to rename his team The Allen Hurns Project.

My team will be really solid if Julio will get his head out of his ass and Ellington gets healthy.
