For a good laugh check out Yahoo's draft day projections vs what were actually the final standings    Their predicted 1-2-3 finished 10-11-12

Hahaha!  Computer simulation rankings are the kiss of death.

Wow, close game Scott.  I thought I had a massive lead, but it came down to just a few points after last night.  And of course T. Gurley goes off when I finally bench him...

The Fantasy Gods giveth, the Fantasy Gods taketh away...garbage time losses are the absolute worst part of FF

I've seen some really weird **** over 20 years and know many people lost on a Cam Newton kneeldown or Crowder fumble that meant nothing to the game being played at all

[JediJman]

Wow.  I just caught the score. Is that a victory by just one yard?  Ouch.  Maybe a stat correction will come through to save my day.  Otherwise congrats and good luck to you Matt!

[Matt]

Thanks, Justin! Cousins was so horrible in the first half I went to bed in the third quarter thinking I was done for.  Wow. Can't believe I pulled that off.

It's been a fun season. Good luck to Brent this weekend.

Bit late, but congrats to Virex for his win!

Well I'm off to a great start completely forgetting about the draft.

Good luck to everyone!

I had to autodraft since I've been working ridiculously early hours this week, so don't worry there.

But in other news, the Vikings new stadium looks pretty cool.

[JediJman]

Given my recent history, maybe an autodraft would give my team a boost.  Good luck everyone!

I'm a little puzzled by what Yahoo might be doing with the Tampa Bay and Miami teams/players in terms of statistics.  Their game has been postponed due to Hurricane Irma, and will probably be rescheduled for their bye week (both teams had the same bye week).  But TB and MIA players are being listed for the week with 0 points, as if they game has already been played.  That's kind of messed up for anyone who was planning on starting players from either team.

I was curious how this was going to work on all the sites.  Might need the commish to do some adjustments.  Hopefully people get those players out of their lineups before anything gets locked down.

[Rob]

Yeah, everyone just needs to update their lineups while they still can.  I'm putting all my Bucs on the bench, and I have a lot of them across the 4 leagues I'm in.

Yeah.  I only noticed because I looked at the matchup view and saw that Brent had 1 Bucs player and 1 Dolphins player who were caught up in this particular kerfuffle.  I like to win a fantasy matchup as much as anybody else, but not because two roster slots on my opponents team yield 0 points because a hurricane is causing the game to be cancelled.

Big thanks to Yahoo for the "make your picks" email reminder, that came 3 hours after the Bears / Packers game started.

That was the easiest point in the league this week, and I totally forgot without the reminder.
