Most important thing you've learned from this fantasy season?
Posted on 12/1/16 at 3:45 pm

For me, I will never play in a league again that has a married couple when money is involved.
Context: 4 way tie for the last playoff spot and The couple are playing each other this week (last of regular season). One in the relationship has secured a spot the other is in the tie.
The one who secured the spot has blount, Bell and another RB on a bye. For Receivers on his bench, he has Tate and Michael Thomas.
So he puts Bell in the flex and picks up Cadet(saints) and starts him at RB2, instead of starting bell at RB2 and putting Tate or Thomas in the flex.
Am I suppose to think this isn't giving an advantage to his partner?
And this is coming after they did a 1:1 trade for a superior player picked up in auction waivers, earlier in the season. Husband paid more for the player than the wife, wife gets mad, and they swap a bench player for the better player right after waivers. Husband then proceeds to drop bench player immediately.
NEVER AGAIN

Don't get risky during the draft. I usually go for the homerun or the guy getting super hyped up in the first few rounds. Montee Ball and Cordarrlle patterson are a few of the people in the past who burnt me.
Also getting an elite qb is a must. Use to play that "Have multiple qbs and play matchups" shite and that screwed me the past two years.

RB's still matter.

Stay retired!!
Played for 3 years back in the early 2000's (2 NFL, 1 College)... won 2 years, runner up in the other
Came out of retirement to fill in a spot for a friend in need... all these new rules.... waiver rules, trade rules, all the collusion...
I'm going back into retirement
ETA... Finished this year in the #1 spot before the playoffs

good tips so far.
agree with getting a solid QB. got Brees this year and loving it. i usually go late on QB and battle it all year.
stick with the known commodities if available, wait until rounds 6 or later to take shots in the dark.
stay vigilant with the waiver and free agencies all year. most leagues aren't won at the draft, they are won during the year with the right ww/fa move and trades.

I learned that Zeke is good.

Took a stand on a few players I shouldn't have- need to do a better job staying honest with guys who are much better than the situation they're in.
Posted on 12/1/16 at 4:19 pm to jeff5891
Yeah, that's collusion. Straight up and obviously. How did the trade go through?

Thaaaaat I hate it

Stack RBs.
I'm competing in every league this year because I loaded up at RB.

Eddie Lacy is a fat fricking piece of shite. I bought in so hard on that fat bastard bouncing back to being a top 10 RB

I still love to hate fantasy football
You can actually be on the good side of close games. Didn't think it was possible until this year

David Johnson won't have a slump year.
If you can't get a stud RB, make sure to get a solid RB2 then load up on top WRs. Then, fill your RBs with up and comers that could possibly breakout (L Murray, Gordan, Hill) or backups (Howard, Coleman, Blount)

Be patient. Wait as long as possible to see if the players you drafted hit. I also jumped too quickly to pick up people to fill the spot of a player who was doubtful to play.. Wait until the inactive lists come out. I dropped some players who I really wish I had kept.
Also, consider the player's situation and not just his talent.

There are some fantasy rules that have applied for a long time and will continue to apply:
1) Don't blow a good draft pick on a premier QB.
2) Draft a bellcow RB if you can.
3) Don't draft players on shitty offenses with shitty QB's.
4) Draft known stud's early and high potential late
The rest is luck and paying attention.

Never draft a RB, WR, or QB on a shitty team. Wil blow up in your face.
