Commish, we’re starting Mason, but if he’s a DNP then we’ll play Pickens . Sorry for late notice
Commissioner Sun Oct 20 1:04pm ET

That is correct and I see the IR designation for Wright in the software. No deduction for that move.

Killers Sun Oct 20 1:03pm ET

Inactive Player Potential: Mike Evans may be inactive on Monday night. If that happens, I'd swap in Brian Robinson. If by chance, Robinson also goes inactive, the replacement player would then be Josh Palmer on Mon night.

Punt Returns are Special Teams play and therefore that would be a Defensive Score. That used to be the rub against people like Eric Metcalf who could score on ST but rarely scored as an Offensive Player.

Wow.
What a Sunday Kevin. And a trade. Awesome.
The Close Sun Oct 6 3:15pm ET
Haha!!!
Pinkerton Guards Sun Oct 6 2:34pm ET
Also impressive after you traded away your 2 best players, Stafford and Singletary!
Pinkerton Guards Sun Oct 6 1:42pm ET
Was just going to send the same message! Congrats commish.
Killers Sun Oct 6 1:41pm ET

30 minutes into Sunday Morning games and Killers hit the Offensive Bonus. That might be the earliest that trigger has been hit! Woo hoo!

Piper here:

Stop the steal!
… of my wife !

30 years ago I knew I was marrying up. About 3 months ago Regina fianlly realized she married down.
Hondo - you’re the best of the bunch. Just a few words of advice, put away your dishes, get a haircut, buy some clothes from this decade, and use the guest bathroom.
The Close Fri Oct 4 3:32pm ET
Haha
Lion n Steelin Fri Oct 4 2:57pm ET
Now for the real reason. When Trump wins and Piper storms the capital to tell Kamala not to certify the election, he'll go to jail. With Mrs. Piper now in distress we'll send Hondo in to save the day. So all I'm doing is helping my buddy and who can disagree with that other than Ken?
Lion n Steelin Fri Oct 4 1:55pm ET
We have an off the balance sheet agreement that may help this make more sense.

Kinger is gonna cover our bottom three fee and since I'm a voter in a swing state he bought my vote to ensure I vote for Trump.

Seems all above board to me.
Megatron's Johnson Fri Oct 4 1:03pm ET

I'm with you Rams - if Sing and Staff were tearing it up, that might make sense, but it's not even close. Stafford's not even in top 250 he has no GPA :) - Doug

overall rank                                   points
50.               Jalen Hurts                39.50
101.             Amon-Ra St. Brown   27.00

n/a.              Matthew Stafford          4.50
162.            Devin Singletary          14.00

Pinkerton Guards Thu Oct 3 8:15pm ET
That trade is not fairly balanced at all. Hurts is top 5, Aman-Ra is top 5. Stafford and Singletary are borderline top 20. Both of Stafford’s top WR are out and Singletary is hurt. I don’t see the upside at all for L&S. This is one of the most lopsided trades I have seen in 20 years. But that’s just me. Not sure if others feel the same way. If it was Singletary and Hurts for Aman-Ra and Stafford, that would be balanced. Mike Rams
Killers Thu Oct 3 7:11pm ET
I put a note up on the trade block on 9/25 about players avaialable for trades. I saw Ryan had 2 QB on a bye this week so I reached out offering a QB. I also had bye week issues coming up and expressed an interest in a WR to deal with that. The trade is fairly balanced and we both assumed some risk on the backend.

I tried to make a QB deal a week ago with Free Beer but it didn't happen.

Mega - if you are looking to deal, make a proposal that isnt outrageous.

KK

Congrats Mega!  I thought I was a lock for the week and then missed the OBO because of Tyreek Hill.  OMG Miami needs a QB!


Dang DJ Moore... would have been a 2 point game and no OBonus if not for his measly TD.  Ah, fantasy football.

Yes you did! Still might not win the week though. 10 minutes is a lot of game time in the Detroit shootout.

Killers here - contingent player call out! Mike Evans is questionable on Sunday. If he is made inactive, I want to start Singletary, RB NYG, on Thurs night.

Oh and can anyone gather a guess as to how much blow dak did before the start of the 4th quarter???

East division has come from the ashes like a phoenix this season. Consider yourselves put on notice!!!
Megatron's Johnson Mon Sep 23 7:32pm ET

Makes sense with that explanation.  I was looking at rushing TD of 20 is 10 pts.  

Cheers,

You learn something new every day! The NFL considers the hook & ladder lateral to Gibbs as an extension of the pass and therefore, its considered 20 passing yards, even though he does not get credit for the catch. In the NFL stats, its shows 0 receptions for 20 yards. 

Our scoring for passing / receiving yards is 0-20 is 5 pts, 21-40 is 10 pts. Thus, the 5-pt TD.

Initially, I was incorrect that it was a 10-pt TD, it is a 5-pt TD. Here is what we have in the AFL Rule Book: 

Passing and Receiving Touchdowns

1 - 20 yd 21 - 40 41 - 60 yd 61 – 80 yd 81+ yd
5 points 10 points 15 points 20 points 25 points

You can find the 2023 and prior year AFL Rule Books under the "League" menu, then Archives. 

On the League Home Page, you can also see a description of the play from our vendor with the scoring for both players as well.

Let me know if you have any questions. Thanks!

Commissioner Sun Sep 22 9:59pm ET

It looks like the vendor has updated the points for Gibbs and credited him with a receiving TD. 10 points for the TD and 3 pts for rushing yardage = 13 points. Let me know if there are more questions. 

Da'Commiss

Commissioner wrote:

The NFL site is showing it as a 20 yd TD off a lateral. We have our scoring based on yardage so it should be a 20 yd rushing TD and fall into our usual model. I'll keep an eye on the scoring and see what the vendor does overnight. Worst case - I can manually add the 10 pts for the scoring play.

20 yard TD reception… but not sure if we have met or scored another way in our league.
The Close Sun Sep 22 8:07pm ET
Yahoo and ESPN have it scored as a touchdown reception… Doesn’t matter to the outcome of the game as we lose either way with five or 10 points
Megatron's Johnson Sun Sep 22 5:46pm ET
@king. Lions hook and lateral from Goff to Amon to Gibbs for TD. We need to see how this is scored
Commissioner Fri Sep 20 1:36pm ET

WTF! In Week 2, Proxy puts up 33 pts on Thursday night against me. Week 3 Bling Bling throws down 26.5. If this keeps up, its going to be a very long season for Killers.

It was an exciting week. My game came down to the wire and I saw a few others that were nail biters.

Oh fuck, I just realized that if I moved Keaton Mitchel to IR it would not have cost a point to pickup a new player. The point cost me to tie!!! 

Commissioner Tue Sep 17 12:09am ET

Hi guys, I'll have the weekly commissioners note posted on Tuesday evening. Apologies for the delays!

Team Proxy takes the week with a whopping 125 against me. Nice job! 

Megatron's Johnson Sat Sep 14 4:06pm ET
We’re all set
Commissioner Thu Sep 12 11:01pm ET

Good question. The rule was intended to be for "same team" situations where you have one player who will potentially be inactive in a later game and to avoid the late SOL player, you would designate one of your bench players to replace them in an earlier game.

In your case, you are trying to decide if a player on another team goes inactive, you want to activate the handcuff player. That is tricky and not an aspect that we discussed but I'm open to supporting that angle since handcuffs aren't always on the same team in our league. So if you can either post a note or email me and your competitor something like, "If CMC goes inactive, play Mason and bench X".

The second aspect of your message is that both team owners will be unavailable on Sunday. Life happens and we're here to have fun and with connectivity today, it should be rare. Casey may not have access on a flight to London, for example, so we should have a plan. I am open to an email / message board note that identifies 'no access' and here is a roster change that I'd like to implement if someone goes inactive at kickoff. If it's an extended trip (ex. Solo owner Rick might miss 2 weekends to climb Denali), and you submit a lineup for Week A, you can send me a note to identify your lineup for Week B and I'll make the updates. If there's an injury in Week A, inclusion of a contingent player would be helpful. If you have 2 QB on your roster and one goes down, its a no brainer but if you start 1 RB and he gets hurt, if you have 2 backup RB, you might not want me doing that coin flip - but that's how I'll handle it unless I can clearly rule someone out (Bye Week). Thus, the contingent player (and you'd probably want to do the same at WR!). Your other option for an extended leave? Find another owner in the league to be your proxy and let me know who they are. They can then tell me who to play for you. I'm open to both approaches.

Let me know if there are any questions.
