MacRumors NFL Fantasy Football League 2009

I checked my scores last night/this morning (12:45 am CDT) and I was tied with maflynn at 115-115. He now has 119 to my 115.

How is that possible if all his players were done? Do they recalculate the points?

At least I have a player left to go tonight.

That is a bit weird, to say the least. Good luck tonight though!

In Yahoo, the stats that get instantly updated the day of the games are always a little bit off. They recalculate that night due to updated stats (off a few yards), etc. I assume this site works the same way.
 
The league manager has the right to adjust points in each game if there is a reason to do so. In this case I thought you needed to work a little harder to get the win. :D

I'm totally kidding. It's exactly what barr08 said. The immediate "live" stats may be off a few points here or there depending on the circumstances of the game like penalties, yardage, etc. So, basically stats are subject to change as the NFL reports the official game stats. You have to remember the NFL counts loss of yards against your players as well. So if your RB gets stuffed for a 4 yard loss then he loses 4 yards from his accumulated total thus far in the game. I guess it's fair, but it totally stinks. :mad:
 
Thanks for the answers, figured it had to be something like that. I've just never noticed it before.

Here's my fingers crossed that Witten doesn't get clobbered on the first play and is taken out of the game.
 
Week 3 Results

This week's winners are mscriv (lucky to back up my smack talk this week), Jessica (oh the down to the end drama), thegoldenmackid (congrats on your first win), rhett7660 (another close one that was decided last night) , wvuwhat (a 2nd big game for Matt Shaub), and the Berlin Pretzels (creator2456).

The high scorer of the week was the Pretzels with 131.

Overall, our league seems pretty balanced. Most teams are 2-1 or 1-2. We have one remaining undefeated team at 3-0 (rhett7660) :) and one remaining winless team at 0-3 (maflynn) :(

Don't forget you can always try to improve your team by setting up some trades with your fellow players. Everyone has strengths and weaknesses and lots of times a trade can be made that improves both teams. I'll put up a new main page poll question later today and let you know what it is.
 
Have I mentioned how much I suck at Fantasy Football.

I'm glad I don't work for the NFL because I'd be out of a job within a week :p
 
maflynn you've got a good team. Just be patient as fantasy has it's ups and downs. In week 1 you were the victim of the 2nd highest score of the week not to mention the Eagles D having the best performance they will all year long. It also didn't help that Braylon Edwards and Joey Galloway severely underperformed for you. In week 2 you lost to me as I posted the high score of the week due to Frank Gore and Dallas Clark having huge days. In week 3 you lost to the Pretzels who were the high score of the week with Jason Campbell and Reggie Wayne having big days.

You're actually the 3rd highest scoring team in the entire league behind Gaucho and myself. Your putting up good scores, but you happen to be playing teams when they have one of their best weeks.

I guess what I'm trying to say is hang in there. To everyone else what I'm trying to say is look forward to when you play maflynn because chances are you'll post one of the top two scores of the week. :p
 
Thanks for nothing Devin Hester. Somehow in the Bears 48 points you managed to get 1 measly fantasy point, and I've benched Devery Henderson in favor of you against the Lions today. I'm going to get killed this week by the Pretzels, who are doing really well.

Edit: OK now I see you left the game with 11 minutes left in the first half. Still, it sucks to be me.

When I saw he left the game I couldn't decide if I should be upset, being a Bears fan, or happy cause I knew you played him.
 
Well, thanks.

Whoever can log in right now, can you check and post who's winning in my game? I'm fireshot91 on ESPN also. :cool: Please and thank you.

All I need are 75 points combined from Ryan Grant and the Packers D and I'll be right back in this thing.


Jeebus.

And to think we had an the same projected score as late as Saturday afternoon.

That is possible...I got 39 from the 49ers D, so if the Packers can hold Min to 0 and run like no other against a good run defense, you have it made! :cool:

I have to hope the T.A.I.N.T.- happy Favre rears his ugly head again, and that Grant gets all the carries from the 1.
 
Week 4 Results

This weeks winners are mscriv, Jessica, imaketouchtheme, Berlin Pretzels, rhett7660, and miller high life. The high score of the week was berlin pretzels with 162. Only four teams broke 100 points as it was a slow week overall except for those defenses and TE's that came up big.

So we're a quarter of the way through the season and things are looking interesting:

- rhett7660 remains undefeated despite ranking 6th in overall points scored thus far (404)
- maflynn is winless with more points scored against him than any other team (494) and joining him jecapaga is winless with the fewest points scored in the league (336)
- rhett7660 leads the "mac" division at 4-0
- berlin pretzels leads the "osx" division at 3-1
- jessica leads the "ipone" division at 3-1
- four teams in the league have winning records, 5 teams break even at this point, and 3 teams have losing records
- 162 by berlin pretzels this week is the highest weekly score thus far in the season
- 58 by maflynn this week is the lowest weekly score thus far in the season
- Peyton Manning (thegoldenmackid) at 113 points is the highest scoring QB in the league and the highest scoring fantasy player thus far
- Steve Smith (jessica) at 98 points is the highest scoring WR in the league thus far
- Chris Johnson (thegoldenmackid) at 83 points is the highest scoring RB in the league thus far
- Dallas Clark (mscriv) at 73 points is the highest scoring TE in the league thus far
- The 49ers D (berlin pretzels) at 65 points is the highest scoring Defense in the league thus far
- Lawrence Tynes (rhett7660) and Stephen Gostkowski (jessica) at 38 points are the highest scoring K's thus far in the league
- Drew Brees remains the season's single game highest scorer with his week one 51 point performance
- There have only been two trades in our league thus far, but the waiver wire is worked over every week

I've updated the poll on the main league page if anyone wants to vote. The question is "So who were you pulling for in last night's much hyped showdown between the Packers and Vikings?"
 
Thanks for the stats, it's pretty interesting to see what's going on in the league.

My team (miller high life) is definitely off to a bumpy start. I just wanted to tell everyone, though, that I'm just gettin warmed up.

jessica, I'm gunning for your spot, so don't get too comfy with that pretty little record of yours. I don't do second place...
 
One additional thought looking at the stats. Rhett7660 and Jessica are leading their divisions with winning records and what do they have in common? Yep, as I said above, their kickers are tied for having the highest points thus far. So, I guess we can't believe all those analysis experts that say kickers don't matter. :D
