Week 9 – Things are Tight

Posted by :Michael On : October 31, 2013

This is the last week for out of division play and just about everyone is the hunt for the playoffs. There are some really big bye weeks coming up and injuries are still an issue. The depth of everyone’s team and their managing abilities are more important now that they have been all year. The trade deadline is looming and now is the time to find possible fantasy playoff gems on the waiver wire. How are you handling things? I’m fairly certain Bambi just needs one more win to clinch a spot and if it’s even possible Krack would need to win out and some serious help. As he has stated in the text thread, he is ready for next year.

Also, some of you may know that Lexi is a teacher… Well, Kurt shared this beautifully written piece by one of her 5th graders. Capture Violence and Enjoy… (You can read it better by clicking it)

PARTY INFO
So, right now it’s looking like we have two options in terms of weekends.

Week of December 14th – Friday, Saturday, or Sunday.
Sometime after Christmas – During the NFL Playoffs

I honestly don’t care which one we do. If we do during a playoff game the fantasy year will be over already, but that doesn’t matter. If we do the first option, I believe it would be week 15… the first week of the Championship. Start getting together what you prefer and if you can do either.

Vote Results (so far)
Week 15: ii (2)
NFL Playoffs: iii (3)
Either: iiiii (5)

Season Rankings

About: Made up of the fantasysp team rating, fantasysp starter ranking, Points scored the previous three weeks, the current weeks projected point total, and Staudt’s own ranking.

Pat’s Alternate Standings

About: This ranking takes into account whether you had a top 6 finish that week, and gives you a point if you did so. It also gives a team an extra 2 points if the team is in the top 6 in points at the end of the year. Wins are worth 2 points, ties are worth 1, and losses are worth 0 (sorry Krack). I think it get’s skewed a little bit when you add in the total points for, but I feel that in a true points system, that aspect should be counted.

Mahon’s Consistency Rankings

About: The lower the Standard deviation, the more consistent you’re team points were week to week. These are only regular season averages and standard deviations. These ranks can be considered to be skewed because it weighs average points and consistency equally.

Weekly Rankings

About: When I put together these rankings I take an average ranking for this weeks players and match them up against the rest of the league. Each starting position is matched up against every other team. Every position is ranked. QB, RB1, RB2, WR1, WR2, FLEX, TE, D, and K.
