I swear I think Yahoo goes back in and edits their draft day projections so they don't look like complete fools.

Posted by crash davis (aka crash davis) Dec 4 '17, 12:27

I believe they had me in second to last place in Astros on the original draft day projection. Now it says I was projected to finish in the middle.

Responses:

The scoring we use for Vampirates I think needs tweaking--3 of the top scoring "players" are defenses. Chargers D has been more valuable than Kamara. -- nm - Flavorize Dec 4, 12:33 23
- If anything, we're more likely to skew it more toward defense. -- nm - David Dec 4, 12:51 5
  - I like David today. -- nm - ReluctantCynic Dec 4, 13:06
  - Im not understanding...why? if a D can outscore the top WR or top RB, is that good? -- (edited) - Flavorize Dec 4, 12:56
  - Well, technically, "put a proposal up for vote next year", but, yeah. -- nm - Spawn Dec 4, 12:52 2
    - Voting? Cute. -- nm - spamlet Dec 4, 12:57 1
      - Electoral College? WTF!?! -- nm - Spawn Dec 4, 13:03
- for the week maybe, the top twenty or so scoring players for the season will all be QBs -- nm - crash davis Dec 4, 12:38 13
  - Top RB for the year--Gurley with 212.20 points--Jags D--226pts -- nm - Flavorize Dec 4, 12:42 9
    - but look at the rest of the Ds after you get past the top 2, there is a dramatic fall off. Jacksonville is having an anomaly of a year -- nm - crash davis Dec 4, 12:44 8
      - Yep--And, that's the point. 12 team league--everyone has to have a D. Top D scores more than 100points than the #12 ranked D. No other position has - Flavorize Dec 4, 12:52 7
        
        It is an anomaly. Same thing happened in QB when Brady threw 50 TDs and then when Peyton went nuts a few years ago. It happens. - crash davis Dec 4, 13:01 2
        
        There are 5 teams outscoring Antonio Brown...how is that an anomaly? -- nm - Flavorize Dec 4, 13:05 1
        
        But did they last year? Antonio depends on Roethlisberger who has been way more inconsistent this season than he has been in the past. -- nm - crash davis Dec 4, 13:07
        
        Choose wisely. It also makes it so D isn't the second to last pick automatically - spamlet Dec 4, 12:58 3
        
        if you can get 25, every week from your D, and average 110 points overall, how are people not trading or keeping Ds like crazy -- nm - Flavorize Dec 4, 13:02
        
        But also, I am in 2nd place in Astronauts. I started with Arizona, then Jets, then NE, then GB and then Philly. -- nm - Spawn Dec 4, 13:02 1
        
        I can't access Yahoo right now at work. Who has Jacksonville? -- nm - crash davis Dec 4, 13:05
  - I was talking for the year--top Ds are #13, #14, and I think #20, in scoring, for the year. -- nm - Flavorize Dec 4, 12:40 2
    - Are you searching "All Players" or "All Available Players"? In Astros the top player is Russell Wilson with 312 pts. Top D is Jax with 226 pts -- nm - crash davis Dec 4, 12:43 1
      - Yep--Top QBs for most of the top 20...Jax at 226, Bal 214, LAC 194. Antonio Brown the top WR at 169. -- nm - Flavorize Dec 4, 12:54
- Yeah, you're going to lose that battle. -- nm - Strongbad Dec 4, 12:37
- Working as intended. -- nm - Butterbaron Dec 4, 12:35
- Welcome... to Blood Feud. -- nm - Spawn Dec 4, 12:34
well, the ML Memorial League draft day projections are still the same because I remember they projected Spawn to go 14-0 -- nm - crash davis Dec 4, 12:29 4
- And I would have gotten away with it too, if it weren't for you meddling kids. -- nm - Spawn Dec 4, 12:30 3
  - I am leading the league in points. So they got that part right. -- nm - Spawn Dec 4, 12:32 2
    - Good luck. Wish I could've rematched with you in the Playoffs. - Strongbad Dec 4, 12:37 1
      - Agreed (on all points,including good luck). -- nm* - Spawn Dec 4, 12:38
You may be right, "Draft recaps are still being processed for this league. Please check back soon. (Error #886)" -- nm - Spawn Dec 4, 12:29 1
- maybe I'm just misremembering as they still have the projection in PPR where they said I'd go 3-10 and finish last -- nm - crash davis Dec 4, 12:31
