I haven't felt so disappointed since I played Metroid: Samus Returns.

Rol, you got to understand. Us Americans have the freedom to choose our favorite team. One day when you're older you'll understand.



Well, I needed Cohen to get 3 yards to secure the victory in fantasy league. Looks like he ended up with a net positive of 7 yards. Apparently all the teams got him on lock down now after he went off the first week or so.

I noticed that our league doesn't count punt return yards and kick off return yards. That doesn't bother me at all. What would bother me though if I had a guy return a punt or kick off and he fumble it. Does that fumble count against me? It should be that if they don't count yards from returns then they shouldn't count a fumble on a return.  Because if you don't count the yards but count a fumble then that is fucking over the people that have players that are returning kicks.

Hopefully I get some production out of some running back next week.  I had a few RBs with a bye week which kind of screwed my team.  I need to get my team better setup next week for sure.

I am unsure about that, but I think it does. It definitely counts if a punt or kick off is returned for a TD, so a possible -2 penalty is more than offset by a +6 bonus.

Then again, what happens during special teams might not count towards a single player at all and is only counted for the Defense/Special Teams position. So if you had Tyreek Hill from the Chiefs on your fantasy team, you might not see any points for a TD return for him; it would all go to the KC Defense that might not even be on your fantasy team. But regardless of how it's counted for positions, it should be -2 for fumble and +6 for TD, so punt and kickoff returns don't solely pose a disadvantage.

Yea, I forgot about it counting a TD or not.  If it counts a TD from a return then it is fine if it counts fumbles (however a fumble is more likely to happen on returns than TDs).  I think it has to do with the way the league is setup since I believe there are different options to choose from on how points are scored in the league when the league is formed.

I'm going to beat you so badly in fantasy for saying that.

(Provided I can get Le'Veon Bell to show up for that particular game)

I've posted a review not long after you replied here.

Enjoy!

Your opinions are the only things worse than the Patriots' defense.
