UDBNFL: Fantasy Playoffs

The playoffs are now officially underway! Here's how the Unofficial DBN Fan League ran down this season:
#1 London Silly Nannies (3. StuckInPa) vs. #4 The Brown Note (9. The Brown Note)
The Nannies have been a powerhouse all season long, being completely stacked in a 14 team league, led by the RB duo of Foster and MJD, and guys like Megatron, Lloyd, rounded out with Culter or Fitz at QB have led to the leagues best record. He takes on the Brown Note, who just a week ago was playing in a fierce battle for this 4th seed berth. He won when he needed to lead by Drew Brees, Roddy White, and an unlikely heroes in Danny Woodhead and LaDainian Tomlinson. Now, normally I'd pick the Nannies as they seem virtually unbeatable, but they're actually already down 29.20 as TBN brilliantly started Vincent Jackson this week, and the Nannies are coming of a season low 56 point game, losing to the SpecialPeoples. The Brown Note defeats Goliath. Down goes Frazier.
#2 WV Brownies (2. Kimble_79) vs. #3 Husker's_Hounds (8. doggrad87)
The WV Brownies are one the more interesting stories here. Sitting at 3 and 4 earlier this season, he wouldn't have wanted to talk about playoffs. Playoffs?!?! He just wanted to win a game. Well, he did. He won 7 of them, in a row. This thanks to Mike Vick (despite missed nearly 4 games) and Adrian Peterson. He takes on the Hounds who were on a tear of their own, winning 6 strait, that is until losing his last two, included a 59 to 89, 30 point thrashing handed to him last week by... none other than the WV Brownies. With Aaron Rodgers hurt, Hillis just isn't enough to carry this team on his back. And with WV having four of his players combine for 5 total points and is still able to put up 89... he'll take this one for the second week in row.

Looks like all you needed was Vick and Manningham.

Vick is by far the BEST FA pickup I had this year. My season went to crap while he was hurt, but while playing he has been lighting it up!

Same here. I drafted Kevin Kolb in both the official DBN league and in my main league. After the first week, I picked up Vick on waivers in both leagues and he has been the best fantasy QB I have ever had by far, and the best free agent pickup I’ve ever had (still kicking myself I didn’t take Hillis in my main league where none of my friends knew anything about him). But his injuries this year costed me in my main league. However, it looks like he is carrying me to the championship game in the official DBN league. 44 points (!) yesterday on the DBN league scoring (where passing TD’s count for 6), and that crazy week against Washington got me over 50 in the DBN and 49 in my main league (using regular scoring).

I go as far as he will take me next week in our championship in the UDBN league. If he plays average, games are close, when he lights it up like Sunday, its hard to catch us. Viva Vick!!

Awesome story in my money league, the guy I’m about to play started the season 2 and 7 thanks to missing the live draft and had to deal with the terrible auto-picks. He made some huge FA moves, including Vick and Hillis. He went on to win his last 5 games and lead the league in scoring.
It’s going to be a tough as hell championship.

Ha! I thought for sure with the RB matchup’s you had it was all over for the Brown Note. I just hope Vick tears apart Minnesota next week. Cutler is making it look pretty easy right now.

A few brilliant starts (VJax, Felix) by TBN topped your under performing fantasy all stars.
It happens time and time again in fantasy football, guys carry a stacked team to the playoffs, blow it one late week, and bam, eliminated by the same guys that carried you there.
Tough loss, at least Cutler made it respectable.

I ended up pulling through in my money league, thanks to a late push by Schaub and Johnson. Blount (proud as hell about that start) and Benson helped a lot too, as well as a huge scoop n’ score by Atlanta’s defense. Had a 9 point lead coming in to tonight, he had Sidney Rice to play, so I pulled through by 7. On my way to the ‘ship, I’m feeling a repeat!

Fantasy question: Should I start Bradford (who has had 4 poor outings in a row) if Aaron Rodgers can’t start or pick up McCoy?
I’m dead serious, take a shot at Tim Tebow if Aaron Rodgers can’t start. He’s could rush for another TD, or hell maybe even throw for a few against Houston. Plus all the extra points from rushing yards. It’s a high-risk high reward move, but with McCoy and Bradford as your other options, what do you have to lose?
a Delhomme [a·del·homme·] -noun
1. an interception that is returned for a touchdown
2. a useless, drive killing checkdown pass
Simm, question…if I would start a player that plays 2 different positions…lets say RB/WR for example, do I only get points for the yardage/points that he earns in the position I put him at? Or both? Like I start him at WR and he rushes for 80yds. I get points for that also though right?
"They kept throwing it at me. I don’t know why. They just kept trying, and I just kept knocking it down." -- Joe Haden
yes. I know my opponent had Miles Austin that game where he had the 60 yard TD run. Austin had no catches but 12 points. If Tebow is your starting QB and he catches a 20 yard TD pass, thats 8 points for you.
I teach good life choices. That’s why I almost didn’t graduate High School.
Intensive Purposes? I could care less...
your whole argument is a fallacy!
Yup, I got a point when Welker kicked an XP against the Browns.

Most leagues should absolutely give you all the points earned through any statistic that gives any other player points.
Our does, I’m guessing all Yahoo! leagues do.
Any league that doesn’t should just be avoiding because of how dumb that rule would be in fantasy football. There is no logic in allowing a RB to earn receiving points, but not a QB to earn rushing points. If any stat earns points, it must be applied to all the available positions in order to maintain fairness.
a Delhomme [a·del·homme·] -noun
1. an interception that is returned for a touchdown
2. a useless, drive killing checkdown pass
The Joe Webb situation I mentioned below is directly related to this.
a Delhomme [a·del·homme·] -noun
1. an interception that is returned for a touchdown
2. a useless, drive killing checkdown pass
Brown Note: It’s time to talk some smack. You know Vick is gonna hang 40pts on Minnesota right? How bout you and I make a bet for a signature line that the winner chooses for the loser? You game?
"They kept throwing it at me. I don’t know why. They just kept trying, and I just kept knocking it down." -- Joe Haden
Here is something really awesome that I’m sure to exploit: Picking up Joe Webb who is listed on Yahoo! as a QB,WR much like McCluster or Woodhead are RB,WR. That means I can basically have two QBs getting the start on my fantasy team the same week. Even a bad game from a QB is 10 or so points (or 12 as he showed yesterday).
Try to get him while you can!
a Delhomme [a·del·homme·] -noun
1. an interception that is returned for a touchdown
2. a useless, drive killing checkdown pass
That was exactly what I was doing when I typed this above! Championship!
"They kept throwing it at me. I don’t know why. They just kept trying, and I just kept knocking it down." -- Joe Haden
Well played. I got him in my money league, facing a guy with Vick, so I need something like this.
Good luck!

Ok guys, this will be my last question on FF this year. I have my opinion and I think I know what I’m going to do, but want to get your guys’ opinion.
RB’s (Start 3)
Peterson (vs Eagles..a must start I think if healthy), Ronnie Brown (against Detroit), Tashard Choice (against Arizona), Cedric Benson (against Chargers…tough Defense to run on), Pierre Thomas (against Atlanta), and finally Donald Brown (against Oakland…poor rushing D)
WR’s (Start 1, the other WR position I have filled with Joe Webb from the Vikings)
Manningham (against GB…tough Defense, but one of only a few weapons Eli has), Percy Harvin (against Eagles), or Derrick Mason (against Browns…they will probably just run it down our throats)
"They kept throwing it at me. I don’t know why. They just kept trying, and I just kept knocking it down." -- Joe Haden
…Well, since I’m eliminated, would you like me to dump my team onto the waiver wire WV? I mean, I see no point in keeping any of the players.

I’m sure you’re just joking, but that’s literally the biggest douche move of all regarding fantasy football.
It’s also against the rules, that’s why no-drop lists exist. The best way to enforce it is to have an active commish who would simply reverse the drops and lock your team (that’d be me), and banned from any future participation. Of course I’m not going to lock your team because I’m assuming your only joking.
Truly unbalanced trades that involve a conflict of interest are handled in much the same way. There is also sort of an honor system expected of fantasy football players, that someone won’t drop / trade all their good players just because they didn’t make the playoffs.

That is why keeper leagues are fantastic.

Oh, I wasn’t joking, but I didn’t know there was an unwritten rule. I mean, this is my first year and I did, after all just jump into it.

Good luck this weekend, TDSH. If you win our league you should make a donation to an animal shelter. ;)

Between Michael Vick, Percy Harvin, and Joe Webb I need 50pts for the championship tonight, otherwise The Brown Note wins!!!!

It’s really starting to look like TBN is going to pull off the upset. Gotta hope for an after-Christmas miracle now.

Almost pulled it off. But came up just short, 99.38 to 98.16.
Great game, great season.
