MNF Week 10

Over and Out
Malinn 106, Nemo 79
TMac 119,  Tighe 59
Lee 63 (Rodgers, Peterson), Thompson 48 (Harvin)
Curran 86 (Jennings), DFlam 81

Malin eases past Nemo but a CJ outburst could see him knock off some top teams late in the season...TMac runs past Tighe, with or without a team meeting...What a sorry spectacle Lee-Thompson was, is, and should be tonight...Curran takes a big win over DFlam as his Patriots return to form.

MNF Game of the Week
Concannon 97 (The White Guy, Finley), Brett 78 (Starks)

A couple of different lineup decisions could have profoundly impacted this one but as things stand Brett will need a serious bit of running from Starks to get this one back.  

MNF Week 9

Hi,

Please read below if you have not already done so and thanks for the feedback from those who've sent it.  I am looking for more specific comments on a lottery-cup and also am curious if anyone is against setting the keeper salary formula at 30 points per $1 so let me know on those two points.

Mostly done...
DFlam 89 (Forte), Brett 81
Concannon 90, TMac 84 (Jackson & Maclin)
Lee 104 (McCoy), Nemo 78
Curran 108, Thompson 68

- DFlam continues a fine season with Forte looking add some extra gloss
-Concannon with his worst week so far and likely to go down to either of the Eagle receivers
-Lee to run up the score tonight via McCoy
-Thompson was punished by hobbled players taking it easy but it was unlikely to help against another strong showing from Curran

MNF Game of the Week
Malinn 108, Tighe 96 (Vick)

A big one here as Tighe looks likely to deliver what could be the death blow to Malinn's 2011 hopes.  Barring injury, the money is on Vick to have these points in the bag by game's end.

State of the League- November 2, 2011

Hi,

Spent a lot of time thinking during these last couple of days about how the league has been going over the last two months.  In my mind, it has been a great season for both PBR and the league and I am looking forward to the big events coming up- playoff race, Superbowl, and the Luck Lottery. 

But, there have been some issues that bothered me significantly over the past month that I feel must be addressed.  In particular, some of these things are getting worse, in my mind, not better, and it seems the time to address them.  To be fair, in many cases teams have simply been responding in their own best interests and that is perfectly fine with me and should be with the rest of the league.  In these cases I have determined that I have been at fault for structuring the league to allow these issues to crop up and with your thinking, input, and cooperation I hope we can prevent these from impacting the league in future seasons.

The biggest cause for dissatisfaction, I feel, is the gap that exists in many of our minds over what constitutes the minimum level of effort necessary to run a team in this league.  I know that my standards for myself are high and that I am genuinely insulted when another team in this league does not maintain that same standard in roster management, trade talks, free agent bidding, and so on.  The problem is that I am in no position to really use this to judge how things have been going and, as not one you are the commissioner, you all are not in that position, either.  I suppose the quickest way to say it is that everyone has a style of ownership and that imposing my own standards on another is ridiculous and beyond my role in this league.

So, my goals today are to share my concerns, figure out the source of the various problems, and propose some solutions.  After reading, I hope everyone thinks over some things and can find a minute to provide input, whether to the league as a whole or to me directly.  I am not here to point figures, make personal attacks, or generally take offense to any one style or decision made this year.  Please try to keep in mind that I am looking at this more from a league-overview style and not as a fellow owner of a team in the league.

The first and most significant issue I have at the moment is that, for a league with ten teams and nine starters per team, there have been less than ninety starters, consistently, for the last few weeks.  It has happened before and it will happen again and I understand that things happen that are between one and one hundred times more important than the W/R position in our lives.  There is simply no explanation necessary in that scenario- just let me know something happened, I’ll make the right decision, and we all go on our merry way.  However, when it happens over and over with multiple teams it is a problem and it needs to be addressed.

The first thing, I feel, is that this is almost entirely my fault.  At the start of the season, I noticed the NFL had adjusted the bye week formula and made the appropriate changes to the NFFL schedule skeleton.  This did not, for whatever reason, prompt me to re-think how the two additional teams on bye would impact our league but it is clear to me now that teams acting in their best interests could end up in a tough spot with the QB2 position.  As teams this year have started just one quarterback from both a tanking position and a playoff chasing position, this is obviously not a simple case of teams dumping guys too soon.  The conclusion is that the NFL just does not have enough QB’s for the NFFL.

The solution is fairly simple- convert QB2 into a full offensive player (OP) position.  The OP is just what it sounds like- a spot for anyone in any week.  In unusual fashion for our league, I propose to make this change immediately but, given that byes continue into week eleven, I suggest we start in week twelve.  At the very least, I strongly suggest making the change for next year because I feel it does not impact the keeper prices and any team foolish enough to try to win with one quarterback is going to learn a very hard lesson next year.  Again, entirely my fault here because of the structure but I think this adjustment goes a long way toward solving it.

The lesser issue I have is with how teams are managing their rosters.  Again, a tricky issue because I want everyone to know that I understand that we all have different goals and philosophies in terms of how to win in the NFFL.  I also, again, do not feel it is my position impose my own personal standards on others in this league.  There is no ‘moral code’, no ‘way the game should be played’, because that kind of stuff is grade-school garbage and everyone playing in the NFFL should simply play to win, whenever that my be.  However, no matter how I cut it, I do keep encountering situations that I deem entirely unacceptable and, in no attempt to single out one team, I am just going to let it all out.

First, teams that do not fill out the starting lineup should be kicked out of the league.  This was the way it was for many years and the reason why all but two of you are even in this league is because everyone else was sent home.  So, when I log in Monday morning and check the scores for the ‘MNF Update’, it literally just makes me feel sick to see an empty slot or players on the bye sitting in at RB.

Certainly, kicking people out is entirely ridiculous in our league because everyone has a track record of consistency and one bad day does not make a bad owner.  To me, four excellent years is more than enough to vouch for each and every last one of you.  However, there are plenty of options out there and with a QB2 conversion to OP the last possible obstacle should be cleared.  Please do not tempt me into becoming a policeman over the next two months because taking away draft picks, auction (million) dollars, and roster spaces is just beyond my style and a waste of my time.

Second, and in some ways more insulting, is when teams simply avoid making the obvious moves to improve their teams after entering a tank mode.  When a player goes on IR, I expect teams in this league to move guys to IR.  It is no simpler than that.  To me, each roster spot is of a very high value and I just do not understand why others in this league would not share that point of view.  Anyone who wishes to explain why a player on IR is worth more in the active twenty-five man roster than a free agent not named Chad Ochocinco is free to do so but I certainly hope no one attempts to waste my time in such a manner. 

In addition, the teams that just sit out the FA auction simply boggle my mind.  I know that the urge exists to retain guys for keeper purposes and making the right bid is a difficult process but if a team can go eight weeks into the season without making a significant move in free agency I have to seriously question that team’s purpose for being in the league.

The reason why this last thing bothers me is because of the impact it has on the other nine owners.  One way this impact occurs is by diluting the schedule.  Each off-season, I spend a considerable amount of time trying to make the schedule as balanced as humanely possible without compromising the integrity of a random process but when teams just stop adding players after Tighe makes his now-annual ‘Mr. Irrelevant’ draft selection I might as well just ask Yahoo to churn out their rubbish schedule and punt any interesting concepts like divisions, rivalries, and the week one Super Bowl rematch. 

There is also the issue of tanking, not something that truly concerns me, and the problems that ensue when one team creates the illusion of trying to lose a game by just refusing to bid on their injured starter’s backup or on the most recent nobody that scored ten fantasy points.  These dollars disappear at season’s end so what, exactly, is anyone waiting for?

The final point that ties this whole issue together is that there is a very strong sense of value in having a spot in the NFFL that just does not seem to appreciated in how some of these spots are treated.  When people like Tim Wiseman, who I think would be a wonderful owner for our league if given a second chance, or my brother Sean, who once drafted a team in this league as a midnight fill-in, ask me if they can get a franchise, it is hard to say, ‘Sorry, we are all set with ten guys who sometimes care, sometimes don’t.’  It kills me that some people want into the league twice as much as it seems that some want to stay in it. 

What do I think is the source of this problem?  I am going to start right where the blame should, with me, because I believe the behavior that bothers me is just an exaggerated response to our rule structure.  In looking over the these annoyances I have started to think over our lottery system and how it makes improvement an unnecessary idea for those unlucky teams that are injury-hit, simply mis-drafted, or just suffered from bad luck and are now out of the race.  After all, lose, and be rewarded, or win, enjoy for two seconds, and be punished?  Easy choice.  I think more competition is a good solution for almost any problem of lethargy so here is what I have cooked up for you guys to think over.

First, we flatten the lottery.  At this point, we start at ten chances and work our way down by league place to one chance for the Super Bowl winner.  My idea is to separate the league into three sections: no playoffs, playoffs, champion.  The champion retains his one chance.  The playoff teams earn three chances, the average of what they currently earn.  The remaining forty-five of fifty-five chances are divided somewhat evenly among the rest. 

The wrinkle I want to add is to have a tournament for those six out of the playoffs from weeks 15 to 17.  Divided evenly, each team could receive seven chances for the first round with the winner of the tournament receiving three.  The tournament could be stacked a little more and each team could receive six chances, double of each of the playoff teams, with nine available in some format through the tournament.  Keep in mind that each chance is about 2% for the #1 pick so winning three additional chances is far from insignificant.  This is a brand-new idea, a ‘fetus’ as Malinn once described Lee, and therefore I am looking for input from any and all. 

Second?  There is none.  By using this tournament, teams can be free to tank at the cost of potentially missing out on improving draft position.  Teams would also be much more likely to bid on free agents in-season, preventing some of those early over-spenders from ‘getting out of jail’ by not having a proper bidding process.  And there is tremendous value in having the lottery playoffs to look forward to for those bad-luck teams, much more so than previously existed with the cute but perhaps irrelevant League Cup.

In short, the issue that I have at the moment is that it seems teams take a long-view to the season and ignore the idea of trying to assemble the best possible lineup each week.  With just this one adjustment, teams will need a functional roster at season’s end whether they make the playoffs or not.  At this point, if you still want to tank it, if you still want to sit around and wait for next year, be my guest and pick fifth.

Now, just to wrap up, I nor anyone else should have any issue with the trades that have happened of late, unless the other guy was drunk and you were driving.  Teams looking to win now get this year’s guy, teams that are out of the race get next year’s guys. Problems with that type of thinking are out of line, in my opinion.  That is life in the NFFL and until my good friend, Commissioner Goodell, overturns the Palmer trade to Oakland I will refrain from taking a similar stance in this league. The issue, again, from my end is the lack of interest in filling in some of those holes this year, whether literally in the starting lineup sense or more broadly in terms of not buying free agents, not using the IR, not communicating with the league, and so on.  Please weigh in with your thoughts.

A couple of final clean up points, some ideas for further simplification of the NFFL Rulebook…

-A set number of fantasy points per dollar for keepers (Thirty points per $1?).  No need to confuse everyone with a new number each year and my quick research shows that thirty is about the number, each year. 

-Eliminate the PUP list.  Just one more annoyance for me and if the player is good enough to stash we have twenty-five spots waiting to be utilized.

-A re-think of the League Cup.  It was a fun experiment but it may have run the course.  Any ideas?  If this lottery tournament gets off the ground it is probably redundant.  My favorite idea is the ‘Rookie Cup’ where the participation is limited to those players selected in rookie drafts. 

Please also feel free to add input regarding any specific rules or ideas that need simplifying.  The time is now, to be honest, because I think we are reaching the point as a league where major changes are going to be harder and harder to realistically deal with.

Thanks for reading, all.  As you read, please remember that I have what I could call ‘the toughest job in fantasy football’- finding a way to improve this particular league.  It would not be that way without the strength of ownership that has remained intact over five years and it certainly will not remain that way if things start to slip and slide toward a public-league mentality. 

Keep me updated on how you react to some of my comments.

MNF Update- Week 8

Straight to business...

Concannon 85 (Mathews), Thompson 44 (Cassel)- Yow.  Another strong defensive showing for PBR, I guess.

Brett 76, Tighe 71+ Leonard (V-Jax)- Tighe and DFlam's trade made it to me prior to kickoff so those two playesr will have their scores applied once I figure out stupid Yahoo...looks unlikely for Brett here.

Now, as I board my soapbox, a quick tangent, does this game not bring up a major problem in our league?  We all obviously want Brett and Tighe to make the effort to continue winning games despite a tank mentality.  However, it is in both team's interests to lose games to improve draft stock- a position I am 100% understanding of.  To solve this issue, I think we should 'level' the lottery- all non playoff teams have an equal number of chances.  Post your thoughts or let me know via e-mail what you think.

Lee 102 (Rivers), Curran 98- Lee edges out Curran in a slow Patriots week.  I think we had some doubts on Curran's reliance on the Pats offense but this is a strong showing in a slow week- I'm impressed.

DFlam 103, Nemo 65 (Bowe)- Dflam will have BGE added at the expense of Leonard and his one point.

MNF Game of the Week
TMac 93 (Breaston?), Malinn 78 (Gates)- It looks like Tolbert is out for TMac so I am making a guess here.  Meanwhile, Malinn will need Gates to show last year's form very quickly in what I expect to be a wild MNF game.


Happy Halloween all...

MNF Update

0:00
Malinn 73, Brett 53

Thompson 71,  Nemo 67- Perhaps the nail in the coffin for Nemo's season as struggles continue for big name guys.

Concannon 88, Tighe 48- Ponder leads PBR to victory in a performance not very different from Murray in real life- unaccomplished youngster leads team to victory over struggling opposition.

DFlam 123, Lee 97 (111)- The story is that Lee called in Delone Carter for Lynch on the grounds that Lynch was inactive- unfortunately, according to Yahoo, Lynch was active and just did not play.  I will investigate but for now the 14 points from Carter are off the board.  With Thomas and Lewis to go, the result of my 'investigation' will go a long way towards the outcome.

MNF Game of the Week
TMac 96, Curran 73- Ricky Williams and Anquan Boldin here for Curran in a contest that may be a bit closer than is apparent.  Given the nature of rivalry matchups, I could see anything happening here.

Week 7 Power Rankings

Ah…week seven…

Okay, nothing really impressive to say about week seven.  But, I do have some comments for the league’s future so please plow into this hefty salad before digging in for the dessert of POWER RANKINGS.

1. The 2 QB format

My concern is that the NFL, by reshuffling the bye weeks into groups of six, has made our league much less sustainable with the 2 QB format.  My solution is very simple- move the QB2 slot into an OP (offensive player) slot.  This opens up an incredible number of position combinations but I think it has little to no effect on auction value.  In short, I believe a team without a QB2 cannot win and the OP position will allow teams to survive bye weeks and injury.  In other words, I am bitter that Lee has benefited twice in a row thanks to his opponents playing one quarterback.

A side note- I am going to start ‘fining’ teams that do not make lineup adjustments (byes, obvious injuries) in terms of rookie draft picks.  Something in the middle rounds, I think.  No hard rules so I can take it case-by-case but please stay on top of things.

2. Rookie Lottery

Perhaps overblown but I am starting to lean against a weighted lottery and am instead going to push for a balanced one.  This means all playoff teams will receive a certain number of ‘chances’ and all non-playoff teams will also receive a certain number of chances.  This will eliminate the need to ‘tank’ in addition to punting away key players while also reducing the sting of narrowly missing the playoffs.

3. Trade Deadline

Week 11, as voted by all this week.

4. League Cup

Not sure on the future of our little tournament but I think we should try one of three ideas:

A. Week 15, 16, 17 with all teams.  Two 1 v 1 matches and two three-way matches to start with semi-finals and finals to conclude.  Essentially the same tournament as always.

B. Youth Emphasis- All players are eligible but they must meet certain criteria.  We can go keepers only, rookie draft picks, under $5, whatever.  Open to all ideas.  This tournament could start earlier in the season with doubling up, I think, and I would be happy to track the points.

C. Week 17- I proposed this last year but it was very late so here goes again.  We hold a draft or auction in week 17 for just that week and play out it out for a winner take all, one shot affair.  Could be held in addition to one of the above.

So that’s that…OK, now the main event.

Week 7 Power Rankings

10. Thompson (9)- It is starting to get ugly here as Orton joins Charles on the sidelines via demotion.  The Harvin situation gets one last punt with the new QB but the RB spot is still a paper-thin McFadden and super-third down back Sproles.  Hard to see things turning upward here, really. 

9. Tighe (7)- QB problems look be the story here and the punt formation has already been called.  Vick, some may argue, is like having two QBs but with injury-riddled running backs and inconsistent WRs it does not look like he will be able to overcome the problems dogging this squad.

8. Brett (6)- A reaction to the punt here, for sure, but Brett’s team has been unable to overcome some early struggles from Indianapolis, Bradford, and the RB position.  As I pondered, the RB depth and talent was enviable but ultimately too slow-developing for this season.  With Best now starting to limp around, Bushleague begins to turn south in the weekly rankings.

7. Nemo (10)- Nemo gets the maximum bump by sticking the course and watching some new players emerge.  QB is strong with Big Ben, Big Red, and Big…well, Cutler, RB is interesting with the Brown duo and CJ, and WR is on the up with Bowe Rice, and Little making big steps of late.  Provided something happens in Cleveland, Nemo could make a late surge or simply generate momentum as an upset-special going into November.

6. DFlam (8)- Maybe a long time coming but, paradoxically, by winning despite some Newton struggles I am now more of a believer in the Beiber Fever.  TebowCam is not some creepy peepshow blog that is on Lee’s browser bookmarks but rather a potentially lethal dual-threat QB combo that could propel DFlam to the top of the league standings.  The lingering question is at wide receiver (one word, rubbish) so DFlam should be seen inquiring about some talent there in these coming weeks.  Could Hernandez and Clark form a two tight end set?

5. Curran (4)- A very tight group in my mind at these next three spots.  I bump Curran down due to an over-reliance on New England and what has traditionally been a slower offense in the second half of the season.  I am also a bit skeptical of his RB depth and the WR starters overall.  In short, and as has been the case all year, it is a Brady Bunch and this nine can go only as far as #12 takes them. 

4. TMac (5)- A bit of beef was added to the pipsqueak WR heavy roster as Arian Foster is welcomed aboard in what I saw as a bit of a swipe for TMac.  Obviously not trusting DeAngelo, TMac added Tolbert as well to bring his depth at RB up to level of both his WRs (still extraordinary) and PBR (league best, I think, in the depth area).   The season may come down to Houston and the health of the big guns, Johnson and Foster, but it is a good bet in my mind for now.

3. Malinn (3)- A tough team to peg but the top TE in Graham, solid QB play, and two big time backs in MJD and Rice make this team a tiny bit better than the Prescott pair just behind.  Malinn may have benefited from the Lloyd trade more than 99% of fantasy players worldwide as both Decker and Lloyd should profit.  And is that Antonio Gates I hear making noise in the back?

2. Concannon (2)- It is PONDER TIME and PBR is ecstatic to promote this fine young man to partner, joining Britt and Redman at the top.  In relevant news, depth continues to be tested by bye and injury but the team may ‘Battle’on, as they say, with Jordy Nelson and the other not so white guys looking to keep atop the league.  The recovery of Wells, Mathews, and Austin were all big news items and should keep this team on top, at least in points, through the end of the month.

1. Lee (1)- Now here by mere technicality, I had a hard time taking Lee over the other four below on Tuesday.  It all changed with his five-finger discount of AP (currently ‘flexed’, cute) so look for Lee to retain his top spot for another week before his depth issue sink the team even further into the…er, depths.

Best of luck to all this week and we’ll be back here for a post-Halloween edition in November.
