The No Huddle Episode 12-11


Mark Challifoux was this week’s guest on the podcast. We discussed what to do when your team is out of it.

Your BYES for this week: Minnesota, New York Giants, Seattle, and Tennessee

If you use Yahoo! you may have experienced some trouble last Sunday. Our league did. Only one owner was affected and eh wisely emailed the commish (me) with his roster move. I was able to retroactively set his roster.

It’s surprising this hasn’t happened before and it reminds us all to have a back-up plan. An email to your commissioner being the first line of defense. Most of the major sites will allow commissioners to adjust rosters even after kick-off. If you can’t get the site to work, text, call, or email your commissioner. As log as there’s a time-stamped communication, no one should gripe.

To assuage concerns going forward, Yahoo! set up a FAQ to explain how they are handling various scenarios. They still don’t know what caused the outage, by the way.

To make it up to fans they are offering a complimentary football weekly Scouting Report for the remainder of the year.

This is a big deal for Yahoo! as it may push people to competing sites. If you already use another site, let us know if there have ever been any serious issues or blackouts.

MEANWHILE…

RB Demarco Murray will likely miss the Cowboys game against the Browns. RB Felix Jones has been putting up decent numbers, even though he has gotten relatively few carries as the featured back---- this just in, Murray is OUT.

RB Rashard Mendenhall is starting.

WR Wes Welker is expected to play.

WR Andrew Hawkins is out for the Bengals

WR Julio Jones will start even though he didn’t practice all week.

WR Pierre Garcon is expected to start against the Eagles.

TE Aaron Hernandez is expected to start as well.

TE Owen Daniels is expected to start.


Don’t forget to look at the NFL team stats page. Simply find the team your player is opposing in their category (rushing, passing) and see how that match-up looks against the other player you’re considering.

As always, double-check the official injury report at NFL.com 30 minutes prior to the start of the game your player is in.
