Well, there's one reason why pixie was smart to quit fantasy football. -- nm

Posted by the wrong element, bad guy (aka JFields) Jul 19 '09, 16:21

The Texans had the 4th highest receiving yards per game in the league last season.

The only QBs (well, other than those who had a small number of passes) who had a higher completion percentage than Schaub were Pennington, Warner, and Manning.

Responses:

if only any of these kinds of stats had anything to do with actual FFB success -- nm - 500 dugs of summer Jul 19, 16:24 12
- Wouldn't you need to have some FFB success before you can determine that? - the wrong element, bad guy Jul 19, 17:04 11
  - i've won leagues before. i've come in dead last. - 500 dugs of summer Jul 19, 17:13
  - FFB, compared to the crown jewel of fantasy sports (baseball), is overwhelmingly more dependant on luck. -- nm - TFox Jul 19, 17:10 9
    - FF is skill; FB is grinding. -- nm - David Jul 19, 17:11 8
      - The skill being "sitting with your laptop all day Sunday to add the guys instantly elevated from schlub to superstar after a concussion"? - TFox Jul 19, 17:20 2
        
        it's a poorly run league that doesn't use waiver priority for this kind of stuff. -- nm - Reagen Jul 19, 17:26 1
        
        Fair enough, although almost every league on earth defaults to something other than rolling waivers. - TFox Jul 19, 17:31
      - yeah, I make it a month through FB and I'm bored out of my mind -- nm - GWAA Jul 19, 17:15 4
        
        I wholly concede that the maximum 20 days a year needed to play FF makes it more accessible. - TFox Jul 19, 17:16 3
        
        it takes skill to see into the future and know which players are going to blow out their knees - 500 dugs of summer Jul 19, 17:17 2

        It takes skill to prepare for that. Luck would be having any fantasy team go uninjured. - David Jul 19, 17:46
anyone could have a 93 QB rating. -- nm - Reagen Jul 19, 16:23
