TSN Fantasy Football is back

[Will]

Need to be better with by QB selection.

So Saturday evening my spouse was complaining bitterly about the lack of production she'd gotten from James Franklin her QB pick. "But on TSN the analysts all said he was a smart pick!" she protested.

"They lie" I replied. "You can't trust those guys. They'll always steer you wrong in the end."

Final Score. Congrats to Cossack with a 27th overall finish.

1	27	+8	Cossack	1723.58	107.88

10	3468	+659	ColdCrusty78	1369.70	90.78

Assuming that ColdCrusty78 is calling himself Crusty Bandit 78 this year, the only fellow I don't see playing in CFL Fantasy this year is GreyDragon. Does anyone know whether GreyDragon is participating under a new name now?

Under what name do you play CFL Fantasy?

I sometimes make the mistake of reacting too strongly to something that happened the week before. For example, Wilder was excellent in the first game against Edmonton so I took him for the return match-up given that Edmonton had also struggled against the run vs Hamilton in Week 2. Obviously, Edmonton put a much better effort against the run and was able to contain Wilder. I've also took Franklin as a "bargain" the last few weeks, but he hasn't produced a really good week yet.

So anybody that strapped on a pair of balls and anted up the coin for Mike Reilly is grinning and giggling with delight this morning!

[Will]

I didn't go with Reilly at $14,000 but did great with Duke Williams.

[Foxhound]

That's the way I had my picks yesterday too.

Vernon Adams was the very shrewdest pick of them all though. He returned a fat 19.9 fantasy points on a meager $5000 investment!

I hope that you took Franklin this week.

[Will]

Nope, put him in two weeks in a row and not great results.

But with my luck, he'll light it up tonight so I'll keep him out thank you very much

[Foxhound]

I'm really displeased with my play and results in Week 7. Trying for more upside potential on Tuesday I switched from Weston Dressler and the Eskimos defence to William Powell. Then late Thursday afternoon I dropped William Powell (very inconsistent results) and Brad Sinopoli to add Andrew Harris and Darvin Adams. Sticking with Brad Sinopoli, Weston Dressler and the Eskimos Defence would have gotten me a lot more points.

Then I didn't see that Don Jackson had been scratched from the Stampeders' roster three hours before game time. Of course I can't be on the stupid computer 24/7, but DRAT!

I just made too many poor decisions this past week, that's all.

[Ron]

I'm doing crap this season. But my results have firmed up now that I pick QB's who are facing the Argos. Hope John White does well since I somehow have him for $2257

[Foxhound]

In six of the first seven weeks, I've ended up noticeably hurting my results by switching from the players I'd initially selected on Monday. This week therefore I've resolved not to dick with my initial roster barring disaster, e.g. a player comes up lame at practice and can't play.

[Foxhound]

So a modest investment of $6000 on McLeod Bethel-Thompson returned a sensational 31.5 points yesterday evening! Even better a measly $6155 on Diontae Spencer yielded 38.7 points and an even paltrier $5344 on S.J. Green returned 34.4 points.


Unfortunately I was only perceptive enough to calculate these stellar returns after-the-fact....

I stayed away from this game because it was too hard to predict. No doubt some fans took Spencer but only homers would pick MBT and SJ going into this game. Good on them though. I'm counting on Banks and Massoli tonight.

[Foxhound]

When Jeremiah Johnson pulled up lame at practice, I chose C.J. Gable who ended up getting 13.1 points as a replacement over Chris Rainey who ended up getting 18.0 points.

Much worse yet I had Kevin Elliott on Tuesday morning. Then Wednesday I saw that Kevin Elliott was not pencilled in as a starter the way he'd been the previous week but was "only" the backup to Emmanuel Arceneaux. I therefore immediately switched to Shaq Johnson. Well Johnson got me a big fat zero while Kevin Elliott notched 18.9 points!

Scream and double scream!!!

[Foxhound]

Congratulations to Sage who finished on top of the Argofans CFL Fantasy League!

Sage - 1992.0
Archley - 1982.4
Balticfox - 1950.3



I salvaged some pride in the smaller Pinball Wizards League though:

Balticfox - 1950.3
ArgoFan81 - 1849.8
ArgoFanDave - 1845.3
Argoz - 1767.7

Oh well.... Now comes Playoff Fantasy!
