Hey Rol. Do you want to trade me Hogan for Goff? He is playing Minn next week but has seem to been on fire the past few games.



Around the Network

This week has a lot of fantasy blowouts, so I figured I'd go ahead and post this now.

As hopefully everyone in the fantasy league is aware by this point, the last two weeks of the regular season are done by power matching teams. In other words, the standings at the end of Week 11 (next week) will determine who your team plays in Weeks 12 and 13. The teams directly above and below you in your division standings at the end of next week will be your opponents.

Here is what Weeks 12 and 13 would look like based on what the standings will almost assuredly look like at the end of this week (barring any crazy Monday night games).

Week 12: Arminillo vs. Hernandez, NobleTeam vs. Dongo, Lousy Pack vs. Alpha Males, Ertz vs. SCAB, Arch vs. Nohrian Scum, Longest Foot vs. The Loins

Week 13: Arminillo vs. NobleTeam, Dongo vs. Lousy Pack, Alpha Males vs. Hernandez, Ertz vs. Arch, Nohrian Scum vs. Longest Foot, The Loins vs. SCAB

Bolded games are locked; i.e. regardless of what happens next week, the teams involved will play in the week listed.



Anyone wanna trade for Zeke

Yay, Ludicrous gets a week 12 bye while I play MTZ. Lovely

If Dongo can beat Ludicrous and you beat Rol, you'll swap Week 12 games.

I can certainly understand the frustration, though; it was the biggest hesitation for me in implementing this system. Giving the first place team a game against the last place team while the second place team has to play the third place team seems a bit unfair on the surface. For next year, if we have a similar number of teams, I'm thinking about changing the scheduling system to have each divisional team play each other twice, and then play three interdivisional teams.

Dongo ain't winning that matchup when Alex Smith and Kareem Hunt get to play against the Giants. They'll probably combine for like a billion points, with Hunt getting a TD for like every game since the first 3 weeks that he failed to score lol

I think personally, I would keep one game vs every team, but then in the final 2 weeks have one game where the teams of the same rankings in each division go up against each other (so the 1st place Hoshido team vs 1st place Nohr team, etc...), and then the other game would be against the team from your own division that you had the closest previous matchup against (edit: actually I suppose that could be problematic if multiple teams had their closest game against the same person)

Has any other team ever had two RB1s the way the Saints do this year? It's been ridiculous ever since they traded AP

2009 Carolina Panthers (pre-Cam Newton) had Jonathan Stewart and DeAngelo Williams break 1,100 yards each.  That's the most recent and best running back tandem I can remember, if that's what you're asking.

Ya, and like 18TDs between them. I do remember that season now that you mention. That is a pretty good comparison, although Kamara has more receiving presence than either of those guys did.

Next year we'll do ten teams and have eight divisional games (two games against each team in the division) and five interdivisional games (one game against each team). Nobody likes SCAB and shad anyway.

But you never know if somebody else from here (and I do mean like actually verifiably from here lol) might wanna join in
