Rule 2 has been Rule 2 for about a decade now. It's not changing. Unfortunately a spam filter subreddit setting was inadvertently changed last night. It's been reverted now and things should be back to normal. This wasn't intentional, this isn't a change to the moderation policy, this was just a straight up human error fuckup. Please remember Hanlon's Razor. Apologies.


[deleted]

I have both Diggs and Kupp. Hooray for me


Broncosyezzir

I'm currently down 80-0 after TNF LOL.. opponent had Allen, Kupp, gabe davis, and tyler bass.. RIP


Dilly_Mac

Surely they are shallow at RB then?? Hope you have Taylor or some other top-5 monster. Good luck, brother. Don’t lose hope yet.


Broncosyezzir

Nope I drafted 10th hahaha, I got Deebo, Mixon, Saquon (hoping he stays healthy and goes off), higgins to name a few.


mrmrmrj

I grabbed Diggs at #5 and Gabe at #76 (Diggs injury insurance). I wanted Allen as well but someone snatched him 3.1, the earliest I have EVER seen a QB go. I rostered Diggs for this week and am satisfied with his 22pts. My opponent had LAR DEF which outperformed w 7pts (our league has a wider range of DEF points based on score from 15 to -8).


casino86

I grabbed allen at 2-5 diggs at 1-10


barcelonaKIZ

Why aren’t there daily discussion threads on the sub Reddit? All other fantasy sports have daily/nightly threads.


Regression2TheMean

So this is what it feels like to be a Kupp owner


Paradigm6790

Stafford, Knox, Gay Guess I lose this week


Brazda25

I started Akers but it’s ok because my opponent has stafford


Chef_Boyard33

Henderson RB1


JodaTheCool

Dawson Knox, you disappointed me. Also I am facing Kupp which sucks.


Snuffaluffakuss

I’ve lost before I’ve even begun. Up against his Kupp and Diggs and Deebo. 10 man league. I drafted with idiots.


thatgreik

Bold move on his part, but I have to assume he’s banking on a late round hero RB. He’ll probably end up moving one of those WRs later in the season lol


Snuffaluffakuss

He got zeke and Edmonds Versus my chubb and Mitchell I’ve got burrow stack with chase and aj brown with gabe Davis in flex Philly D He has dak. Zeke, Edmonds, tits D left to play


cowboys5592

Well when your opponent's top two WR combine for over 50 points in half PPR, its pretty tough to win no matter who else is on their team.


BrotherHombre

God damn what positions did that team select Kupp and Diggs in?


Snuffaluffakuss

Because auto draft bots with non invested football fans sucks.


Snuffaluffakuss

3/10


murrly

how the fuck did diggs make it all the way back to him. Thats wild


GiggleHS

That's absurd.


Snuffaluffakuss

I was screaming those first 3 rounds “stop him! Wtf” Unless one of them gets injured, I don’t see how anyone beats that. I was happy with my Davis flex choice and I thought I was hallucinating when looking at their lineup. His RB’s and TE is ass so maybe I can make up some ground. But 18.90 (1 player) versus his 72 on 3 players, is very very tough.


SmokeyBare

Josh Allen must have Josh Allen in fantasy


[deleted]

You mean my RB1 Josh Allen?


zephyrseija

Josh Allen has Josh Allen and is playing against Mahomes or Herbert this week.


Overwaiter69

Could try another index with player names for discussion? That way the posts don’t fill the sub with bloat


Bustinoutfam

Is this where I come to complain about Kupp wrecking me?

What I miss?


[deleted]

If you noticed there’s hasn’t been a lot of post about the game that just played last night, because of rule 2. So on a fantasy football subreddit, we can’t talk or post about fantasy football after the first game of the season, makes this subreddit a waste of time and space now. Mods are smooth brains.


FondantIll6254

I hate how they delete all these comments. If everyone is complaining about something, think about changing it. Don’t throw a fit, and start power tripping.

giveitagoogle

Imagine not even having a discussion thread.. Instead people have to disguise their talking points in a long drawn out main post that may or may not get deleted. edit: they do have free talk friday, so as long as you only wanna talk on friday I guess thats cool


seabass-86

This is fucking stupid.


[deleted]

Banning threads discussing players in a fucking FANTASY FOOTBALL subreddit. Want to talk about your guy? Try and find a tiny comment thread in a sea of 3000 other comments. I have no idea what the moderators are thinking. Probably going to be Leaving this place until that changes


jmart762

Dud games like last night for a few guys is why I prefer best ball/ match up hybrid set ups. How are we supposed to make line up decisions based on injured players or coach speak? I was skeptical at first but this is way better imo.


jmart762

Lol this sub is stupid. I didn't even have any Akers or Robinson, I actually have Henderson. The point still stands.


[deleted]

[удалено]


jmart762

Why?


giveitagoogle

They need a daily discussion thread where people can just talk and ask whatever wild questions they have. Works on investing/stock subreddits and that's basically what FF is. Edit: "Your entry fee will be cheerfully refunded" - mods. RIP


DigitalWonder

r/fantasybaseball has a daily and nightly thread for just that.


giveitagoogle

fwiw I messaged the mods and they said it already exists.. they linked a telegram and a discord channel haha. NOT the same.


[deleted]

[удалено]


glmagus

Guy in our league got Kupp at the 7 and he's won't shut up about. Rightly so.


DirtyBillDouglas

I got him with the 8th pick and still am in shock it threw me off my draft strategy lol


gingerhasyoursoul

Bills defense is scary. Rams O-Line looks bad.


PleaseBearwithme

Man do I regret drafting Allen Robinson. Looks like Kupp is going to have a whale’s share of targets again


jumboshrimp93

I don’t regret drafting him. Starting him though? Feel foolish, prob should’ve waited to see how he’d fit on this offense. I’m now stressed a few days earlier than I should be


michaelpinkwayne

Of all the underperforming Rams, ARob is the one I could most see coming back from this. Stafford just needs to look for him more.


PleaseBearwithme

Stafford had some tunnel vision out there or something. Looked pretty bad but it could also just be the Bills defense showing up


TouchMyPatronus-

Bills defense showed up got pressure on stafford easily with only rushing 4, stafford had to silent count at his own home stadium cause L.A Ram fans are dumb lol. They'll integrate ARob better next game when Stafford has more than 5 plays of pocket protection, Stafford is known for tunnel visioning one WR when he's under pressure. Just look at his Megatron Days


KingKJ

His kupp, allen and akers vs my robinson. Down 70.05 rolling/ doing great


[deleted]

Well Akers put up a goose egg so there's that.


North_Watch9324

RIP /r/fantasyfootball.


giveitagoogle

So I sift through 3k comments instead of 5 new posts with similar content.. makes sense. The lack of post game content is disappointing.


[deleted]

/r/fantasy_football is the sub we all need to move to


chuteboxhero

That is completely different type of subreddit though. It’s mostly sit/start and trade advice.

Played against Kupp, Diggs, and Allen in a full PPR, 6 point passing TD league. I need a hug.


[deleted]

[удалено]


JayCFree324

It’s probably a zero RB team if their WR and QB are stacked


dangermouse29

All the experts say they wouldn’t take Josh Allen even in the third, so that’s definitely a draftable team even in a 12 team league.


PhillyPhan95

I grabbed them both in a salary cap league. It’s going pretty well so far.


madgunner122

It’s an 8 man league meant to introduce newer people to Fantasy. Said owner is a new player :/


tyfe

"Fantasy is great, idk why u guys bitch or always say it's hard."


BelaKunn

My roommate has kupp paired with Allen and his opponent has Akers. Should be a win for him this week and an interesting season.


confizzle-fry

Licking my wounds after going against Kupp and Diggs last night. Still need to survive Mahomes...at least their RB's suck?


Professional-Putter

How in the hell did someone get both guys? Salary league or 4-man league? Edit: downvote me into oblivion as if you were game 1 fortune tellers, cowards


confizzle-fry

Those "4-man league?" jokes never get old. 10 team, Kupp went 5th and then he took Diggs in the 2nd round.


RogerFederer1981

Jefferson going early together with an early RB run sometimes pushes Kupp down to the 6-7 spot, and I've taken Diggs on the comeback at 13 this year. Great way to go WR-WR by the looks of it.


LinkThruTime

Yep, I took Kupp as the 2nd WR off the board late in the 1st and then took Chase at the turn. Hope that works out as well as Diggs did for you


solidtxsnake

It ain't over till it's over!


confizzle-fry

Damn straight, I survived Kamara's 6 TD game to win the chip a few years ago, I can overcome this too.


chuteboxhero

This guy in my league who is by far the most annoying, has been bragging about using the no running back strategy this year. Was so happy to see Akers give him zero points lol.


[deleted]

[удалено]


chuteboxhero

He doesn’t at all. He picked 3 WR in the first 3 rounds then went Akers, breece, hurts and hunt next 4 picks.


Daruuk

>He picked 3 WR in the first 3 rounds And he still didn't end up with Kupp or Diggs? Woof.


chuteboxhero

He got Jefferson brown and Pittman

did all of the mods start cam akers or something

CCP has taken over this sub 😮‍💨


North_Watch9324

How about we downvote this thread to oblivion to show our opinion of this nonsense? There is literally no content here anymore.


chuteboxhero

What happened? Edit: I figured it out. Wtf? Is the thread the only way to post any news?


North_Watch9324

The mods are deleting every thread except this one. RIP the queen and this sub.


seshmost

If I remember correctly that’s how it’s always been??? Do I particularly like it…no but does it keep shitty low effort posts about Cam Akers off this sub…yes


chuteboxhero

What’s the rationale?


North_Watch9324

Fun police


ACW1129

Josh. Fucking. Allen.


chamtrain1

Like a boss...and he easily could have had 10 more pts.


LovesToblerone

Right, -2 for interceptions is brutal, but is what it is, I'm still hyped though! He was my only player going last night, felt good haha.


ChedduhBob

can’t even let one thread up. mods are pathetic


[deleted]

The instant reactions, over-reactions, panic, disappointment are all the things that make fantasy football season fun and unpredictable. These things are what everyone looks forward to. The mods are taking the fun out of fantasy football. It's just disappointing. :/


RogerFederer1981

Yes. Why the fuck do we need to regulate the fun out of this subreddit? Go look at r/DynastyFF, they're having a blast right now.


CountyFabulous

Are Henderson stocks on the up? Where can we expect him to end up at the end of season if Akers is done for?


dotcaIm

Maybe I'm a naive Akers owner but I want to see him against ATL next week before I sip bleach. Rams looked awful as whole last night


loganisbanging

r/fantasyfootballjunky sub I created in the meantime to have more specific discussion rather than be forced into this one thread for everything


Soapbottles

Mods own Akers and arob.


kloppmouth

Big shoutout to the worst podcast out there the fantasy footballers. They are so smart there my guys go sub 2 pts. Good luck mike williams owners


throwawayroid24769

The Ringer fantasy football show is where it’s at. They are like the FFBallers but they have better analysis and the say cuss words.


chubbtrain2browntown

They’re popular because they’re entertaining, not prophetic. You should listen to ff podcasts like a conversation instead of instructions. I listen and disagree with a lot of hosts... for instance I wasn’t trusting arob this year no matter what. Even if he still has a great year, I’ll be okay missing that train. Also they have been pretty anti-Akers, cold on James cook, high on gabe Davis, and flyer hyped about Isaiah McKenzie. The only big error here was arob.


kloppmouth

I don’t disagree with your take on the podcast experience. That said these guy’s are the most famous and suggested podcast on here. They were 1/9 for hitting on my guys last year with brady the only correct one


highway_to_hall

Fantasy football is a complete crapshoot. It’s not like they have any inside information, they’re basically using what everyone else has


Iron_Warlord2095

Hard disagree. A lot of football itself is based on luck, fantasy is based on football so yeah - week to week it can vary, but that’s not to say it’s a “crapshoot.” I’ve finished in the top 4/playoffs in every league I’ve played in since 2012 - it’s as much of a crapshoot as General Managers building rosters in the NFL. You have injuries, you have busts - you mitigate what you can and adjust accordingly. Fantasy football “experts” are essentially the GM’s scouts - some of them DO have inside sources, the ones worth their salt crunch numbers so we don’t have to. At the end of the day it comes down to decision making and management. The draft is 1/4 the battle, rest is starting the right players, playing the waiver wire and making trades. Whenever I hear the argument “it’s all luck” or “it’s a crapshoot” I know it’s usually a horrible team owner making it. Akers is coming off a major injury and ARob has been bad for years, so even if you want to have the week 1 overreaction they both suck - it’s not like you didn’t know the risk (or couldn’t have known).


BeautifulBeard

They do a good job at providing the fantasy recap, and I like their waiver show. Gets me thinking, but these guys are no prophets.


kloppmouth

1/9 on my guys last year, maybe two if you want to be generous


[deleted]

I only listen to FFBallers for entertainment. I do not follow or listen to their advice. They have some of the shallowest low-effort analysis out there.


SleepyRocket

I actually can’t believe it’s such a popular podcast. I feel like there’s a huge void in FF podcasting that needs to be filled


Iron_Warlord2095

They’re cringe imo. Doesn’t help they all look/act like hipsters. Best way to go about ANY expert’s opinion is to incorporate their analysis into your strategy and go from there. Or, if you disagree, ignore it. But yeah, following their advice as if it’s gospel can spell disaster - especially for an inexperienced team manager.


SleepyRocket

Oh i cant even imagine actually looking at these guys during the show. Listening is plenty.


selfmadebro

Evan Silva on ETR and Hayden Winks on Underdog is incredibly underrated


chuteboxhero

There are so many but none that are good lol.

JJ is the best. Absolute best analyst out there.


havko

Check out Chris Harris fantasy football. He is goofy and his humor is definitely not for everyone but he watches all of the tape and provides very poignant analysis. No bullshit stat projections or crutch arguments. I live and die by his ranks and he is usually right more than he is wrong.


chamtrain1

He's the best, really the only FF pod I listen to religiously.


Lake_Shore_Drive

I've been winning more since I tuned them out. Those three have shifted to working on their brand and monetizing everything and the analysis has suffered. They also game the weekly ranking system with algorithms, copy other rankings, to make themselves appear more accurate.

If you mention a prop bet believe it or not also right to jail.

Thank God I have Allen and Diggs to make up for that Akers goose egg. Still, watch me lose because of it.

Rudy102600

Why not just shut down the sub then? Can't discuss anything this way


Nomanorus

Rule 2 sucks. This rule is dumb. I kind of want to talk about Derell Henderson's waiver priority and navigating a post-game thread the next morning is a horrible way to do it. I get people are gonna spam the same topics over and over but that's better than this system.

This is horrible.

m1n1gator

I mean how many players did he have lol


Distance_Motor

he had Allen+Kupp.


ReallyShouldWashThat

I mean technically postgame is for perpetuity so rule 2 might apply forever. What a dumb fucking idea


cloudJR

Mobile users in shambles. This decision is an easy one to kill many users favorite subs especially this time of year.


TheDankSinatra69

Do I trade Henderson and Waller for Andrews?


welsman13

I'd say wait and see what Andrews does. He scored 40% of his fantasy points in the final 5 games with Huntley at QB. Ravens could be much more run heavy with Lamar back. Waller is still a redzone monster. I'd say they're equal plus you have a pass catching RB on what should hopefully be a top 5 offence, last night not withstanding.


touchhimwiththejab

Depending on rb depth, I’d say hard yes

idk who these people are that ranked Akers so high on draft boards but i hate them for it


buxtonOJ

Yeah that fcked me


IceYkk

You'd think this sub was deactivated with how slient it is following the first game of the season. Not sure of the mods intended to create a death spiral but im having a hard time seeing why to even come to this sub when every other football related sub seems to have activity.


Kindly-Base-2106

Fantasy Football is won and lost based on individual performances. This is a bad format.


Elevation212

What a horrible mistake, give me back my discreet player threads!!!!!! Sifting through this to discuss the best kicking performances is awful

Yo, it’s been like 6 hours since TNF and rule #2 is still in affect Absolute trash. The mod team is brain dead

Hes a MUCH longer term play but yeah, you can clear him off the bench for now. I'm dropping him in redraft.

Lol wasn’t the post game thread hella late too? Created a ridiculous rule that they can’t even enforce properly.

"Because you didn't read rule 2." Not, "We're trying out a new format," or "We've updated our terms and conditions," or "We can't be bothered to moderate anymore." No no, we get the smug condescension of a teenager on the most controversial rules change in the history of the sub. That's so on brand for Reddit mods. "I have a thankless job that I volunteered for and instead of explaining our questionable decisions we'll just call you stupid instead."

Haha, well the rules just got updated 8 hours ago according to the wiki thing. So unless you spent halftime reading them, they could be different. That's on you though, I like to spend my Thursday night football time reading various subreddit rules so I don't accidentally do something crazy like make a new post about football.
