It's halfway through the 4th quarter in a somewhat meaningless game between the Jets and the Jaguars. As expected, they are both terrible and the game has almost no fantasy implication. Ryan Fitzpatrick hits Jeff Cumberland for a first down as speedy linebacker Telvin Smith comes in to make the tackle.
And noone in your league got a single point.
Your league is lame. You play in a league with 1qb, 2rb, 2wr, 1te, a flex, a kicker and a defense. You are stuck in the stone age. You are playing Oregon Trail while the big boys are playing Playstation 4.
"Nuh uh! It's interesting! We switched to ppr last year! "
Ugh
Why fight progress? Do you not know the NFL? Do you not watch the games? Do you not know who Lavonte David is?
Casual fans with casual leagues dumb down the fantasy universe. Half of the players in the NFL play defense. HALF. And yet, you don't have those players on your roster. Welcome to IDP my brothers and sisters. Instantly, you double your roster size, lowering the luck factor ten-fold. That Telvin Smith tackle got you a point because no play is worthless in an IDP league. Every game has meaning. Every play has meaning.
Don't you want to play in a fantasy universe where you can have JJ Watt on your roster? Where big play sacks get you amped up the way a 35 yard completion down the sideline does?
Of course you do. So get your ass on the phone and text your commissioner. Tell him or her of their leagues lameness and tell em you got the cure.
And for the love of god make the settings similar scoring to offense. Nothing is worse than a league finally making the jump to IDP only to see the players marginalized. A 10 tackle game should be worth as much a 100 yard rusher with a TD.
So get excited for every play, every snap. Tackles for a loss are your new completion. Or stay in the stone age. Get your fantasy knowledge from nfl network start em sit em.
