I don't put too much stock into what Yahoo says, quite frankly.
@SmittysRant
Yea. I didn't either haha.
I got the same "assumed" record. As it said at the top: " Coinciding with Some Early-Round Reaches, TD's N Beer! Lands Closer to the Bottom Than the Top."
Yahoo predicted that I had the weakest RB group. To be honest, I am quite happy with mine. Richardson, Sproles, Bell and Randle. While I agree that Randle may have been a speculation pick, I think he will pay off handsomely.
They did mention my week 12 situation with a few starters on a bye that week, but tell me something I didnt already know.
I will be reaching out to a few in a day or so to see if I cant remedy that problem with a trade or two.

Pengwin predicts I go 7-6.
Yahoo predicts I go 11-2.
Which one is more likely?
Pengwin predicts I go 7-6.
Yahoo predicts I go 11-2.
Which one is more likely?
My predictions, of course!
I would bet my bank account that at the end of the year my predicted standings will be closer to the finish than Yahoo!(s).
By the way, hf, did you notice that your team has already slid from a 11-2 "draft day projection" to a 9-4 "current projection".
Explain THAT!?!
Yahoo "Current" Projections (bookmark):
1. York Dukes 11-2-0
2. The Frisky Hobbit 10-3-0
3. The Waterboy 9-4-0
4. Zorro's LongSnappers 9-4-0
5. Blitz INC. 8-5-0
6. Bettman Fumbles 8-5-0
7. The Fear Boners 6-7-0
8. Powerplay QB 6-7-0
9. Fighting Newfies 6-7-0
10. Tremendous Kielbasas 5-8-0
11. F'ball On Your Phone 5-8-0
12. TD's N Beer! 4-9-0
13. Marsh of da Pengwins 2-11-0
14. Megatron 2-11-0
5-8. That hurts Pen. That hurts.
Rookies gotta pay their dues!
Nothin' like provin' me wrong... you'll enjoy it!
As I said at the draft table, I dont care if I win or not, I just dont want to be the guy relegated next season. As long as that doesnt happen, this year will be a success.
I also dont agree with their assessment of my team but I guess we will see.

"Cleavage is like the sun. You can look, but dont stare.. Unless you're wearing sunglasses."
I agree - I would've said yours! I seem to remember last year's by Yahoo was quite off the mark. I'll take 9-4, and even 7-6 if it gets me into the playoffs. As for the quick Yahoo adjustment, I take it their guesswork is in full swing already!
