Boards Division 4 Thread

Hoping for a smooth season.

Best of luck everyone!

Great to see 16 people online for most of the draft.

We averaged a pick every 30 seconds or so which isn't bad.

AbusesToilets

Surprised at how quickly it went. 16 team leagues are tough.

Here's to a fun season.

DBIreland

According to NFL.com I'm projected to go 5-8 and finish 12th overall... Long rough season ahead.

Bugg

Projected finish 1st, things can only get worse from here!

AbusesToilets

Projected to finish 15th, alright. Can only get better from there.

Blue Shamrock

Predicted 7-6 and to finish 6th overall, would take that squeeze into playoffs!

ftse100

Projected T6th and to go 7-6.

Got a Grade A though so not sure how a Grade A only get me a 7-6 finish.

Should be fun!

nasty_crash

Projected 8 - 6-7 - B grade.... seems harsh.... haha

2.2% of winning the championship...... so your telling me there is a chance!!!!!

LightningBlue

Projected T1st with a 10-3 record. Grade A.

Doesn't mean anything though. Won a league last year with a Grade D draft and 5-8 projection.
It's all down to luck with injuries and the waiver wire, especially in a 16 team league.

Same with me? But I have a 5.5% chance.

I have been given a C+ grade, predicted to go 2-11, with a 2.3% chance of winning the league.

To say I am confused is an understatement

Yeah all the leagues were set up like this.

Took me an age to schedule :P

It's cool that it mirrors the real NFL season with those key games in the stretch before the playoffs.

Fair play for adjusting the schedule. I wouldn't have the patience.

It's good in that it at least gives some meaning to winning your division.

Also allows a bit of rivalry to develop.

In fairness it wasn't my idea. Directive from 'up top'

Some really interesting pickups on the waiver wire already.

I saw Beast Mode slide into someone's roster with the rumours of return about week 4 floating around.

Well, complete failure by my TE and D sunk me this week. Frustrating when your RB goes off for 29pts.

I was leading until last game of weekend but lost out thanks to Carlos Hyde, only got a combined 16 from QB & both my RBs so work needed there. At least my WRs started well 4 scored touchdowns and 5th went over 100 yards

Think I was playing you. When i heard Gronk was out I was like ah S**t so I was lucky the 49ers TE scored a TD last night!

LightningBlue

My team played lights out in Week 1. Very rare that every single starter performs that well. The 21 pts from the Vikings defense was a very pleasant surprise.

Knowing Fantasy Football I'm probably in for a 50 pointer this week now. :pac:

DDC1990

I had one or two good performances this week. Unfortunately I had Woodhead on the bench missing out on 18 points.

AJ Green was brilliant and the rest of my team apart from Tavon Austin performed well.

I was hoping with the new contract, Tavon would become a key attacking player for the Rams but 1.40 would suggest otherwise.

In Exile

Two starting WR's combined for a huge 2.2 between them.

Blue Shamrock

Best week I have ever had in fantasy only 1 of starting team didn't score touchdown and Texans defense were very good. Hopefully they can keep it up.

Bugg

Allen injured in week 1, now Peterson in week 2, that's my first two draft picks out for pretty much the whole season. What have I done to anger you FF gods!?

DDC1990

Doug Martin down for 3 weeks.

Danny Woodhead out for the season.

Tavon Austin is shít.

Anyone want to trade a RB for Vincent Jackson or Terrence Williams?

RBs seem in real short supply this year happy with all my WR but only one of my RBs have had good game so far

Yeah, I am in a bad way for RBs too.

I have 5 starting WRs, but only 3 RBs, one of which is a backup.

AbusesToilets

Distinct lack of trades so far, lads. It's the life blood of fantasy

DDC1990

Jesus christ, my team cobbled together with backup RB's and a TE only Bucs fans have heard of puts up a great score of 105 only for Fitzpatrick to absolutely **** the bed against the Chiefs and Foxy Fellow to get 35 ****ing points from it and win by 2!

Also how does Phillip Riversa throw for 360 yards and 0 TD's ? :P

I'm just venting after another Bucs loss.
