With a flex back the scores should even be higher. I play in another standard league and we probably had a higher average than this, except one player who only got 50.

I'd like to say it's about getting to know our teams but really I think it's a combination of two things 1) QBs are penalized very heavily for turnovers in this league where in my other they aren't at all and 2) not all of the great players got picked. Jamaal Charles for example where in a 12 team league he would have to be picked and started just due to position scarcity.

I almost picked up Jamaal Charles a couple of days ago when I put in my waivers. A day later and as soon as I changed my mind, Max_Power picked him up for the Sad Pandas. I think that was a great grab from the available player list.

Now, I just need my primary TE to get healed up and return soon.

Typically any turnover is -2. Is that different in this league? Before last game, there was a rumor that Charles reinjured his surgically repaired ACL. I guess that was bullshit.

In one of my othjer leagues I picked him up previous to week three, and he really preserved me from a devastating loss.

@Comiss

What are league award trophies? Are those just end of season things like most ppg or least pa?

Also, the league rules/settings say "Use Keepers for 2013 Season
No". I thought we were going to use Keepers for next year.

I thought it was set for keepers, I'll adjust that.

The trophies can be set for weekly awards, highest points, lowest, biggest win, etc. Shurijo if you want to make a few that's cool and I'll use them. Right now we just have some basic ESPN provided ones.

Ah okay. I think it requires LM status to make awards. I didn't see any in our catalog there, so I didn't know if it was turned on or not.

Do the awards or trophies have any kind of effect? Or is ist just a "Well Done"-badge?
