*** NFL Fantasy Football - NSC League halfway point and onwards ***

[One Teddy Maybank]

For me it was always going to be a risky week as most of my starters were on a bye week, in fact, my entire bench was unavailable due to bye except for josh Gordon who is suspended until week 12 meaning i had very little choice in my line up.

I had been looking to draft in a few new players but couldn't find anyone better than i already had for that week so had to chance it with what i had due to the league size.

All my usual starters are now back (and Josh Gordon a week away from playing again) so hopefully it's back to normality for me (points scoring wise) but it would be nice if everyone else didn't have an exceptional scoring week against me for the rest of the season to give me a chance at reaching post season.

I'm enjoying this, but my team arn't picking up the wins they deserve.......this sounds similar to something else, i just can't think what it is atm......

They certainly didn't deserve it this week, crushed by LT!!!

Seriously though, I think its great, I had a fortuitous win in week 1 (against Viper ironically), have also suffered a heavy defeat, but the other 3 were close and avoidable if I hadn't made selection errors......

Not bad considering all my NFL knowledge is 80's based

Best mode has helped me out a few times this year, would like to say it was an inspired pick but in reality it was an easy choice when I got to pick so early! This is going to be a hard week with many starters out but good to see Brady back although I am not hopeful

Who are you playing. I've been missing Rashad Jennings for the last 4 weeks, hopefully back Sunday.

Shouldn't be too hard, you're playing me, I have a team of the biggest load of under-performing stars going, The Gronk & Beckham Jnr excluded and to a certain extent Mr Miller, although he's half crocked now... McCoy has been a big disappointment, as have pretty much all my WR's!

I don't mind Brady throwing a few points as long as The Gronk is on the end of them!

Didn't play Jonas Gray in both my leagues. (43.90 pts)

I was looking to pick him up but you beat me to him. I had to laugh last night when checking the scores and noticed you'd left him out of your starting line up.

I think that the Colts managed about 19 rushing yards in total all night and Luck ran 15 of those whereas Gray ran 199 yards on his own.

I'm fairly comfortable with my thought process in my other league (I've got Alfred Morris, Le'Veon Bell and Ahmad Bradshaw) but leaving him out for Bobby Rainey looks a bit dumb.

However, all is not lost, a 20+ point night from Antonio Brown this evening should sneak it for me.

I can see having Sanchez and RG 3 is going to be a barrel of laughs, both totally inept yesterday. Mind you Eli Manning threw 5 INT's!

Thank you.

But I am worried about Brown tonight. Hopefully Heath Miller will get more touches (spoiler alert: he won't).

You're still favourite but I'm not without hope!

So glad he's on a bye next week!

Are we still going with 3 Keepers for next season? Hopefully so as I definitely want to keep 3 of mine!

Although I suggested two, happy to go with whatever Viper decides. Great suggestion and a well run league, thoroughly enjoyed it. With the exception of the Giants, its the most interest I've taken in the NFL for years.

 

[spring hall convert]

So who's made the playoffs?

I was pretty pleased to take the previously 0-9 Henne I Shrunk The Kids away from the wooden spoon to a 3-11 finish. Reckon I might have picked up a few keepers as well.

FWIW - I think the Rabbitohs will win it. Dodgers also look very strong. However, with the Superbowl being in Week 17, a lot of teams are resting players at that point.

Seems i've performed a bit like the Albion this season, I would have been joint top with Atlanta Rabbitohs on 136-74-0 if based on all match ups and kind of backs up my comments about scoring highly but not getting the wins the team deserved which is why i'm only 8th overall and miss out on the play-offs - i just played my match ups at the wrong time against other teams and they had an unexpected blinder against me.

See you in the 'SuperBowl' [MENTION=19107]wakeytom[/MENTION]

Really enjoyed this year and looking forward to next already!... Thank you Mr Viper for organising!

Which 3 players has everyone got on their keeper list? (I don't think it matters if you say, no one can steal them).
Beckham Jnr & The Gronk for definite, unsure about number 3 but will probably keep Shady McCoy.
