Houston came up huge for me today, debated between playing them or New Orlean's D (which generated a lot of turnovers last year.)

NO netted -3 points in my league today, Houston gave me 41...That's a 44 point swing, unbelievable.

Even if Gates no shows tonight, should still walk away with a victory this week. If Gates has a big day, may try to trade him to snag a better #2 RB. Based on how Griffin played for Washington today, Cousins may get the nod soon, if so, I'll likely try to trade him to pick up a better #2. I'm giving up over 10 projected points a week to opponents. Can't count on having so many players go off and blow past their projected like I did this week, and I can't drag a guy only getting 4-5 points a week to success. Hopefully Crabtree gets better and becomes a bigger part of the offense for SF, otherwise may have to switch to Riley Cooper (who is pretty unreliable.)

41? What the hell kind of scoring is done for defense? Houston got 20 in my league. Where your opponent has the Jets with 13, they got 6 in my league.

Anyway, at this time I am down by 12 to this weeks opponent. I should still win though. I still have Matt Stafford, Rashad Jennings, and Golden Tate to play, where my opponent only has Larry Fitzgerald left. If Stafford can get 18, Jennings get 10 and Tate get 12 that should be able to overcome the deficit as well as whatever Fitz puts up. We will see though.

I *believe* that the scoring is supposed to be structured in such a way as to make a more accurate reflection of impact on a game, and level the playing field offensively but can't say for sure as I wasn't there when they came up with the scoring. Unfortunately the way that the points bonuses stack up, especially for QBs, is crazy..Matt Ryan had 58 point day in our league today. Julius Thomas is already up to 24 points today..Hadn't realized how big that shit was. So despite being up 60 points, that may not be safe. Although he is banking on Hilton going off at this point.

Wow some of those points structures are ridiculous, especially for defense.

In our league off the top of my head a sack is worth 1, a INT worth 2, Defensive TD 6, safety 2, no points for 3 and outs or 4th down stops. To me giving defensive points for that is just stupid.

[sergechronos]

For most average defenses, you'll get about 10-15 out of them a week with this structure, putting them roughly on par with the average player.

Idk, I agree its a crazy points scheme. But its working for me.

[stealthee]

Yeah, its working for you until it works against you. LOL

[sergechronos]

Lol the point totals are crazy..Thomas is already at like 32 points.

[stealthee]

That actually makes sense. It's a PPR league so he has 6 receptions, that's 6 points. 94 yards, that's 9 more points if one point per 10 yards, and 3 TD's is 18 points. That adds up to 33 points.

[sergechronos]

Well, clinging to a 20 point lead now. So long as Thomas and Hilton don't take off in the 4th quarter, may still hang onto this. And of course, I have Gates playing tomorrow night. Thomas' efforts have definitely made the game significantly closer than I'd like.

Okay, for comparison here is our defensive set up.

Also Matt Ryan had 36 in our league compared to the 58 in your league.

Whoever set up the points system is way too happy to see high scores.
