The Fish Posted October 21, 2012 Share Posted October 21, 2012 Started Eli, Hixon and Nicks. Seriously, 32nd ranked vs pass. Granted, bye weeks bit me but, still. Doh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joebirds55 Posted October 21, 2012 Share Posted October 21, 2012 That sucks. Eli had his Eli face out today. I didn't wanna start spiller and fjax. Went spiller. Solid 16pts but fjax ended up w 23 in my league. Debated between witten and fjax at flex. Witten had 8. Ughh!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chavez Posted October 21, 2012 Share Posted October 21, 2012 I realized I needed to diversify - I have Brady, Ridley, Welker, and NE going vs NY, but LOLJets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joebirds55 Posted October 21, 2012 Share Posted October 21, 2012 I have Brady and gronk. My opponent has Hernandez. I'm hoping gronk catches 3 of Brady's 5 td throws today Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Fish Posted October 21, 2012 Author Share Posted October 21, 2012 My opponent has Ben/Brown combo tonight. No offense but I hope you get boned. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scorcher Posted October 21, 2012 Share Posted October 21, 2012 (edited) Started Eli, Hixon and Nicks. Seriously, 32nd ranked vs pass. Granted, bye weeks bit me but, still. Doh. Did the exact same thing, Eli is good for the Giants, but for fantasy he is killing teams. Edited October 21, 2012 by Scorcher 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Fish Posted October 21, 2012 Author Share Posted October 21, 2012 No kidding, eh? Thankfully I can plug in Matty Ice and his easy passing schedule after this week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tripleshot Posted October 21, 2012 Share Posted October 21, 2012 I take full blame for Eli's game today. I was watching the game with my father-in-law(we've been playing fantasy football together since 1991). I mentioned to him that regardless of how much I dislike Eli Manning, he really is an elite QB now, to be mentioned with Rodgers, Brady, Brees. He agreed. Then he threw the two picks and the Eli Manning face came out. I apologize. Totally my bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wiseman155 Posted October 21, 2012 Share Posted October 21, 2012 From someone who has taken a lot of statistics over the years. Its all about probability. If you have more players on one team , you increase your possibilities of yards and scoring. But you lose the opportunities from other games. Then you add in the human factor. In one of my leagues, I have Brady, Ridley, and Welker. Usually Brady and either Ridley or Hernandez have good games. Then one week comes that the entire team just isn't doing well. That is the human factor. Its almost exactly like investing. You can try to hedge your bets by measuring economic conditions (or opposing team strengths) or business-specific conditions (weather or injuries) to try to avoid losses, but sometimes you can't avoid them. That's why some sort of diversification always lead to more positive results. Sorry for the business lesson. I am a professor and it sometimes leaks out in places it shouldn't.

Coming from a professor I was looking for a little more evidence supporting your argument. Something like this http://www.traemcnee...d-000033651.jpg .

Chargerz Posted October 22, 2012 Share Posted October 22, 2012 I had to start A.J. Green and Andy Dalton. At least I got the TD pass to Green. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
