Whole league is stacked. Only 8 teams and 2 QBs and 6 point passing touchdowns means everyone should break 110 points every week.

This is a semi-typical week(aside from my 226) for us, 140 is a pretty regular winning score.



It's a lot of fun, I strongly recommend people put together a fun high scoring league like this if they can get 8 actual friends together. Although I guess the last part is obvious, any league is fun with actual friends.

Boner storms always beat thunderstorms. It is known.

2 QB league sounds awesome though, gonna have to try this

There's a story behind this. I'm going to relate it even though no one should care. Because beer.

One of the regular members of the league had the last name Stormer. Awesome guy, great friend, fun to be around,terriblefantasy player. He'd draft Steelers players 5 rounds early. Leave injured guys in. Etc etc, basically he was so bad he threw off the entire balance of the league. And his team, every year, wasThunderstorm. After a few years of me and a few other pushing he got asked to leave andhappilyaccepted, he was sick of the effort and was just playing to not let down everyone else. Oblivious to the fact there were like 3 of us waiting for a chance to get in to the league. So he left and I got in 4 years ago. But the name Thunderstorm lives on in infamy, teams who are pretty much out of it play on the name now.

SO, you see the team "I am... Thunderstorm". That's our newest member. He's in year 3 and he's been bad the whole time. He picked that team name when he was in last place. Tied with me. Then we played, and I changed my team name from "Mike Vick's Pound Puppies" to "No...I am Thunderstorm" because I was worse. I kept the name for like 2 weeks, until last week when I was playing the mighty team of "Boner in Sweat Pants". Who changed his name to Boner Storm because it's fucking hilarious and fit the theme. But I changed my name that week too.


So, that's the story behind Boner Storm. We've had a long-running problem with terrible team names for years. This season everyone stepped up, all the team names are clever/funny/topical for some reason or other. This is why I gave enough of a fuck to type all this retarded shit out. Plus beer.

Start two, .5 PPR: Yeldon, Blount, C. West, K. Williams.

I'm leaning Yeldon, West. Even if McCoy doesn't play, Jets D is legit, and vs. NYG is set-up for White/Bolden to handle the dumpoff duty as Giants LBs cannot cover RB/TE.

I think until he proves otherwise West is a must-start.

Pick one to trade away (PPR): McFadden, C. West, D. Murray, Woodhead.

Murray.

Absolutely Murray if its ppr. McFadden has the lockdown on that since Randle esp is now gone, West is balling, and Woodhead is like top 3 I think right now in ppr at rb. Not to mention Murray is splitting carries even though he did have a good week this past week.

Agreed with the above. Nice set of backs you got there.

Also, if you could trade for B. Marsh/AJ Green and Blount for OBJ and M. Gordon (my other receiver is Hopkins, so it would be one of the two, plus OBJ and Hopkins), first of all - would you pull the trigger? Second, who would you prefer to dump?

I'm thinking of dumping AJ, but then again Marshall is ailing. Thoughts?

Marshall, and yes do it. Even if Blount was the only RB on the roster Billy B will find a way to Fuck you some weeks. Amendola will get goal line carries or some shit.

So is Starks taking over the starting RB job in GB? Is he worth a waiver-wire pickup. I'm trying to cockblock as many RB's as possible in order to trade-rape a guy who only has 1 healthy RB on his roster thanks to Bell and Lewis going down.

So this is my team in our 14 team ppr league. Ok homies Im torn on Shady vs Hill if he is actually hurt even considering Jets D vs Houston's D and with Bernard vulturing everything in sight. Sad, but Bernard got majority of clock killing time vs Browns even though you'd think that would be in Hill's wheelhouse...Bungles eternally disappointing to me. Also Austin vs Benjamin...thinking Austin is the much safer play as Benjamin is even more boom or bust, no idea who his QB will be, and Austin has been getting more and more targets/rushes per week. Vereen is also an option as I think they will be playing from behind and its at home vs former team, but he's another boom or bust. One thing I like about my team is its pretty flexible for good matchups as several guys score in the same range.

Im first in this league at 7-2, but playing 2nd place girl who is 6-3 and whose team is really stacked. She has like half the Pats roster, streams defenses, and knows more about football than 99% of the dudes in the league: listening to her talk shit is hilarious. Her team....

Tom Brady
Julian Edelman
LeGarrette Blount
Brandon LaFell
Chris Ivory
Martellus Bennett
James Jones
Sammy Watkins
Bills D/ST
Mason Crosby

Its pretty much even on projections and the difference between 1st and 5th in our league in scoring is like 10 points. Fun league though, first place takes home 1k$.

Still trying to work out a trade for a RB with my wealth of WRs (have Edelman, Allen Robinson, AJ Green, Amari Cooper). My RB situation isn't bad but could probably improve. I'm strongly leaning on West being the real deal and Frank Gore's consistent 10 points per week. After that I have dogshit - the terrible backfield of the Broncos (both Hillman and Anderson). I'm really just trying to trade for depth - and in case West was a two week wonder. I'm sitting pretty in my league right now and everyone is afraid to trade with me to make my team even better. So with that said, I think the best trade I can work is getting Justin Forsett for Amari Cooper. What's the consensus here RR br0s?

Scoring rules?

I just got a proposal- PPR

I give up McFadden and D. Murray, I get Edelman, Forsett, and D. Lewis (who I would get to stash on IR and use as my very last pick next year).

The guy who I'd be trading with is one game ahead of me in the standings (I'm currently outside looking in at the playoffs but it is a very tight race with only one team out and one team in for sure) and he only has Forsett as a healthy RB atm... my RB corps listed above, thoughts?

*edit: My WRs atm are Fitzgerald, LaFell and T. Benjamin (having lost Keenan Allen).

Standard. Sorry. I always forget to include that.

I don't think I'd give up DMC and Murray for that. Edelman is a beast and Forsett is respectable, but I feel like you would be forgoing this season for a keeper who might not even be that good next year.

In standard scoring I'd take Forsett in exchange for Cooper.

Even with West and Woodhead still on my roster?
