Received my Scott Fish Bowl invite #SFB13 - a couple weeks ago! Found it in the spam folder. Yikes. Now whitelisted all things scottfishbowl.com. Thanks @ScottFish24!
Hi all. Sometimes when people send me questions, I see them, but want to look at a few details to try to give the best answer instead of the quickest answer. (Plus life/family priorities play a part too.) This is one of those times. Thanks for your support and patience.
Received some awful health-related news about a friend and league mate not long ago. He's in hospital on a ventilator. Wishing you the best Chris, you loud, obnoxious, hilarious bastard 🙏🍺
The season was definitely a week too long! Ha ha. Congrats @JeffRatcliffe for top spot, props to all the rankers who ground out 17 straight weeks, and thanks @FantasyPros for running this competition.
* don't check live scoring constantly... maybe check in after early games to get an idea but then close it, check again Sunday night. it is out of your control at this point so don't let it control you
Catching up on this Romeo Doubs story.
If this is out of character for Doubs, and the Packers were worried about his well-being, are we sure this isn’t a mental health issue as opposed to a case of a disgruntled receiver who just needs to play ball (as most reactions indicate)?
* text your league mates... the reason you continue to play is to connect with people. don't like trading? fine, me neither really. but shoot guys in your league a message so you know they are alive and well
Sports radio show host this morning telling people to "empty your bank account, mortgage the house" to bet the Bengals -8.5. No way they lose. Really went on and on in this manner.
Completely irresponsible. This really bothers me.
Rankings followers, I am going to a concert tonight, first in a long time. Seeing @julytalk who are awesome imho. Rankings to be updated Sat for today’s injury updates. Hoping for some much-needed clarity. Have a good night!
FAAB bidding - why does it have to be in order highest dollar to lowest? Say I want Joe Flacco and I believe it takes $8 to get him, but if I don't get him I want Tre Tucker and I believe it takes $18.
Let me set my own priority by round.
Not a big take guy but here goes for a Friday… instead of heavily criticizing Chase Claypool, realize he’s very young and has lots of room to learn and grow.
DON'T: Join a slow draft and sit on the clock until the last possible second to pick "just in case" of breaking news. I'm stuck in two drafts that are barely half done and started almost two weeks ago. No pace, really sucks the fun out of the draft.
* limit or no DFS... if you are playing small stakes to win a couple bucks, who cares? and if you are playing higher stakes but not enjoying it, you might not be doing well and can otherwise spend your time doing something more productive. think of it like the lottery
Team defense (and kickers) being the roller coaster that they are for #FantasyFootball, I can't entirely explain how/why we are doing well in the @FantasyProsNFL accuracy rankings this year at these positions.
We are currently #1 at DEF and #5 at K year-to-date.
Prelim Week 13 rankings are up. (Actually, earlier today, but realized on the dog walk I forgot to update the homepage or tweet it.) draftbuddy.com/football/rank…
* pick a game you are looking forward to watch on Sunday and watch it, and otherwise get out and do something active or spend time with family... don't sit there for 13 hours straight like a zombie
Help Wanted
I need help running one or both websites - draftbuddy.com and myofficepool.ca
Requires about an hour a day, 5-6 days a week. Work includes updating news and player database, writing newsletters and social media posts, etc.
Looking for smart but humble. Good with words. Attention to detail. Sports nut. Fantasy football + fantasy baseball knowledge would be helpful.
Paid position, hourly. DM me to discuss. Thanks!
* take an offseason break... don't worry about playoff fantasy football, and no one needs to draft a league (even if "only" a bestball) from Jan through Apr
* get more engaged as a fan of your NFL team... easier for me to say now since #GoBills are doing better, but put more emphasis on watching your NFL team to cheer for them instead of watching another team because your key player plays for them
Late hockey game tonight. Off to get our asses kicked. Playing the first place team with point scorers of 21, 14, 14, 14, 13 (in 5 games) and our top scorers are more like 6, 4, 3, 3, 1. Not to worry, always 🍺 after
Rankings updated again. It's been crazy this week adjusting for the injuries and such. Still reviewing some matchups which could result in more changes draftbuddy.com/football/rank…
Week 12 rankings are up. Made some adjustments for CHI-DET, LV-DAL this morning, and will look at BUF-NO tonight. Happy Thanksgiving to those celebrating! draftbuddy.com/football/rank…
DO: Put emphasis on a top QB + top TE in 8- or 10-team leagues. You need stars across the board to win these leagues. League mates are not going to trade you Josh Allen later after you drafted nothing but RB/WR with your first 6-8 picks because AJ Dillon, "was a great value".
Listening to @JimCoventryNFL on @RotoWire@SiriusXMFantasy, Jim has a lot of concern for Chargers-Texans game because Texans will have so much difficulty fielding a team. Makes Charger players risky. Something to watch out for
Updated my draft rankings this morning and here are the biggest movers. Not a lot of changes across the top, mostly deeper rankings clean up
Hurts, Carr, Brian Robinson, Lazard the most significant

We lost 6-4 in a *spirited* battle against a bunch of 20-somethings. They had their girlfriends there. For a D league rec hockey game with a 10:00 start 🤦♂️. Beer was cold. I'm calling it a win
