I just saw there's a 'vote' feature in Matchup where you vote for the team you think will win. We should like all vote on a Friday for the team we think who'll win, might be fun!

You needed it, though, outlasted some epic performances.
Meanwhile victory for me in both this league and my keeper league depends on how Monday night goes...-_-;;;;;;

I would think in the beginning of the post you mention what league/game type you're talking about. The thread was originally created for Cloudy's 14-team Yahoo Fantasy Football League Money League No Quitters. Just start your post with whatever League you're in and name and it'll be all good.

I do wish Yahoo had some kinda nice pick-tracker, though. I think picking which fantasy team will win is a great feature that just always gets ignored.
Week 1 Champs:
Most points: Team Konex (109)
Most points left on the bench: Good as Gould (46)
Brandon Stokley Award: Hookers and Blow
Awarded for starting the following:
a. Jake Delhomme (-6 pts!!)
b. Hakeem Nicks (2pts and then injured)
c. Sammy Morris (0pts)
d. Miami Defense (3pts)
Plus having 3 players on the bench who didn't even play in the NFL this week...
...and still winning. Bravo, sir.

In fairness Hookers and Blow had AP get his team almost half his output. Imagine if Delhomme and his WR's have a decent game.
The exciting thing is you KNOW there will be a blockbuster trade on the horizon (Trade deadline: November 20, 2009) I didn't realize this since I've been doing ESPN's Gridiron Challenge for so long but the team you draft isn't as important as you moves you make/don't make. One thing that taught me is that not to be afraid to make a big transaction in what would be considered Free Agency/Trade/Waivers here.

Yahoo NFL Fantasy 8:15 Sunday OT Recap!!
Welcome to the 1st episode of The OT!! In here I analyze the winners and losers from the action before the Sunday Night game and who needs what from their fantasy players in order to win! First we have:
Welcome to the 1st episode of The OT!! In here I analyze the winners and losers from the action before the Sunday Night game and who needs what from their fantasy players in order to win! First we have:
I sat Bowe at the last second to start Clayton and the points I left on the bench are mocking me. Good thing Gore saved the day! Though TBBC is ahead by 22.64, both players have 2 players left, TBBC has Giants D and Steve Smith while GAG has Brandon Jacobs and Peyton Manning. Outcome is still up in the air...
No one picked Team Konex to win... and unless Jason Witten can snag 35+ points tonight vs. Giants the critics were right. Warner and Andre 3000 had bounceback games while Nate Kaeding (14 points!) came up big while Tennessee D (-1), Thomas Jones and Brian Westbook failed Team Konex.
RMR had Chris Johnson, do I even have to recap this... Christ. Okay CJ blew up for 46.4 points... you know what? Even though HAB has 3 players left RMR is up almost 60 and still has Marion Barber left. RMR won this.
VD is up 13 and appears to have it won with 2 players left to TM's one. TM was hurt by Randy Moss only having 2.4 points and Ward having 3.7. Meanwhile VD had a combined 57.8 points from Colston/Vincent Jackson/Kellen Winslow.
Although Sproles (21 points) and Owen Daniels (13) did well for TBNL, Brady and Slaton did not which handicapped his team. Matty Ice and Cadillac Williams did well to offset 2L2B's problems... even though TBNL has a 14.6 lead he's done for the week while 2L2B has 2 players, Joseph Addai and Dallas Clark left. 2L2B might pull this one out.
DO had big games from Tony Gonzalez and Cedric Benson... CEDRIC BENSON WTF???? Meanwhile LenDale White and Pierre Thomas (-.4?) killed VP, who has 2 players left, Eli Manning and Dallas D... umm yeah DO got this.
No-shows by Lance Moore and Jeff Reed hurt KIMQ, while DeAngelo and David Garrad helped WN to a big lead. KIMQ has more plays left than WN (2-1) but I give the win to WN.

Yeah, thanks for the time recapping, Frank. I'll post comedy awards monday night.
For reference, the single best game fantasy wise for an RB last year (using standard scoring) was 40.96 for Ronnie Brown during his 4TD wildcat explosion. :lol

Yeah, just unbelievable. And I would have blown the doors open in my keeper league if Brady could have thrown some TDs.
I looked back to 2007 and it's basically the same score as during AP's NFL record game (I think AP may have had .4 more due to having 296 rushing :lol )

I just noticed for the second straight week no one voted for my team to win. Now this is due to a number of factors, the main one being that I never set my game lineup until Sunday. I'll usually make some token moves and juggle people but I don't set the real thing early. Some people vote early it seems and don't view the whole roster... anyway just wanted to post this for the people who doubt my team:
...DON'T YOU KNOW YOUR RESISTANCE ONLY MAKES ME...

Week 2 Champs:
Current League Leader: Big Blue Crew (2-0, 217pts)
The Crew keeps piling on the points, thanks to Frank Gore's freakish 207 rushing yards.
Most points: Ron Mexico's Revenge (126.12)
Chris Johnson steamrolled Hookers and Blow with 46 points, with Marion Barber sealing the deal (155 total yds, 1TD)
Most points left on the bench: Turf Masters (73!)
The Turf lost out on Schaub's 4 TD effort, DeSean Jackson's 101yd+TD receiving effort, and Mike Bell's (pre injury) 95yd+1TD game.
This week, Hookers and Blow wins the Greg Jennings award, with no less than 5 players scoring 0 points. Sure, 1 is suspended (Lynch), but that's pretty impressive.

Dang Hookers And Blow, two weeks in a row winning that award. Anyone who was on Yahoo StatTracker chat can attest to me freaking out over my benching of Dwyane Bowe for Michael Clayton. -8.9 net right there.
I'm being saved right now by my first two picks overall, Brees (#12) and Gore (#17). I saw everyone grabbing RBs early, checked the draft order and grabbed Brees PRAYING Gore would be around 5 picks later. He was

Some leagues I've used give rewards for the most amount of negative pts acquired over a season. :lol
You definitely had a good wrap-around position for players though. If one falters, the other guy is probably similar value. The earlier you go, the more vulnerable you are if they don't turn out.
0-2 isn't a hard pit to crawl out of. But it does take better roster management and waiver awareness.

Yahoo NFL Fantasy 8:15 Sunday OT Recap
... otherwise known as The OT!!! Week 2 saw some surpriseing performances by new pickups, big injuries and big performances through injuries. How many undefeated teams are left? How many winless teams are left? Hey if the Lions can win so can you!
EDIT: Sorry for the late edition, was playing Warhawk so numbers are as of 9:15.

EDIT: Sorry for the late edition, was playing Warhawk so numbers are as of 9:15.
His two players who were questionable to start (Moss/Jackson) had huge games... my two players who were probable (Brees/Gore) got hurt/stunk. Game ovah, even though I have a RB left and he has D and a kicker my player is Beanie Wells.
Quote from Cloudy at 2:00 PM on StatTracker ... "I am so screwed" Ginn Jr/Holmes/Jones gave him a little over 3 points... TK could have it close but GAG still has Peyton Manning vs. Arizona... GAG wins this.
Closest game so far. Going into the Sunday game has Roy Williams and Marion Barber (who is a gametime decision at best) while IHT has Johnathan Stewart and Kurt Warner. This one may go down to whether Barber suits up.
TBNL has Boldin left while VD has Reggie Wayne, Felix Jones and Vinatieri left. While it might get close TBNL should pull out a win
VP has a big lead and RB Tim Hightower left but 2L2B has Fitz, Addai, and Dallas Clark. No way this is over and if it's a high-scoring affair 2L2B wins it.
DO ends his day with a 43 point lead, but KIMQ has Romo, Steve Smith, Donald Brown and Arizona D left. Assuming Romo and Smith light it up it's possible for KIMQ to come back... but not likely.
Calling the game for HaB. Unless DeAngelo goes Chris Johnson on Dallas, he and Nick Folk cannot save WN.

Just checked... If Felix Jones gets 14.28 points you lose a tough game. He could get it if Barber sits since he's a pass-catcher out of the backfield also + Carolina sucks at tackling.captive said:

You won. By 0.88 hundredths of a point. And you really should've lost. Felix Jones was running wild and sprained his knee/ankle in the 3rd. They said his return was questionable but he never came back. Suddenly injuries crippling teams...captive said:

Sorry folks, depressing loss and heavy work week delayed the awards.
Week 3 Champs:
Current League Leader: Dinner Out (3-0, 281.96pts)
Our new leader has less than a single point above his runner up, 2Legit2Bitch!
Most points: Good as Gould (115.86)
Big days by Peyton Manning (29pts) and the Baltimore Defense (17pts) sealed the deal in a landslide victory over Team Konex.
Most points left on the bench: Ron Mexico's Revenge (65!)
Ron banked on Orton vs. the Raiders, and it cost him as both Sanchez and Palmer had better weeks. Plus, he gambled on Barber starting, leaving Moreno to a productive bench day. Even his spare defense did slightly better...
This week, The Big Blue Crew wins the Marion Barber award for blowing a tire. Here's what starting Frank Gore, Drew Brees, Beanie Wells and Eddie Royal gets you, apparently: 6 points. Yikes! The award clincher is that it was the lowest weekly total score this season. That's impressive.

Week 4 is chock full of drama as no one wants to go 0-4... is this the start of a frenzy of trading activity? Injuries and Bye weeks now start to take a toll on some teams, and skillful pickups and a little luck will be needed.
Big performances by TBBC's WR core (46.5 points) have propelled TBBC ahead in this matchup. By comparison TBNL had 6.2 from Kevin Walter and Devery Henderson. Both players have 2 guys left... TBBC has Mewelde Moore and Antonio Gates, TBNL Darren Sproles and Vikings D. Should be a win for TBBC.
TK had 39 points from their Defense... THIRTY NINE POINTS. And he still has a QB and a WR to use. This is one of those you don't bother recapping outside of a disappointing performance from Darren McFadden for TM. Team Konex to go 2-2.
If you examine the matchup GAG did not have any singular big performance, if anything he's below the expected output of his team currently. So why the big lead? RMR has Mark Sanchez (-0.08) and Michael Bush (-0.6). OUCH. GAG will win this.
Brandon Marshall, Ronnie Brown and Denver D came up big, while IHT was just killed by Braylon Edwards and Devin Hester (combined 0.2). Blowout win for Hookers and Blow.
Vas had big games from Kerry Collins/Matt Forte/NO Defense while Eli Manning/Pierre Thomas/Houston D paced VP. With 1 player left each and VD holding a 3.48 point lead he has WR Vincent Jackson left. VP has ... K Ryan Longwell. Win to Vas Deferens.
Both teams have had underwhelming days but to paraphrase Cloudy, don't have faith in Ted Ginn as a starting WR, he'll drop it. 2L2B! has Roughestraper and WR Percy Havin left, and should remain undefeated.
This is the best and closest matchup left. WN is down 3 but has 3 players left to DO's 2... however the key is who they are. WN has Benard Berrian, steady Ryan Grant and a huge question mark in Rashard Mendenhall. DO has Aaron Rodgers and Pittsburgh D... the key will be if Mendenhall can have a good game splitting carries with Mewelde Moore. Inside conversation with Witty Nicknames said he hated to start Mendenhall, but he had to do it with his bye week situation.

Hey, I don't mind Mendenhall since he's starting. :lol What's really killing me is that in my keeper league I'm up 13 with Pittsburgh D vs. Gates & moore.
