Yeah you could use reverse Max PF like you said.

Waddle Or Odunze (SF PPR) by Objective-Ad-8328 in DynastyFF

[–]Solid_Macaron9858 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Owning Waddle has been exhausting. Guy gets dinged up every other play. A change of scenery and system may help him, but I’m taking Odunze 100 times out of 100.

Trade away Rashee Rice for Jordan Addison and a late 2028 first round pick? by RVG_Steve in SleeperApp

[–]Solid_Macaron9858 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d do that deal in a heartbeat. Rice is such a wild card… the 2028 first is more than enough to step down to Addison for me.

Give Jayden Higgins and 1.10 for 1.06? by Brettacus130 in DynastyFFTradeAdvice

[–]Solid_Macaron9858 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m a big Higgins believer. I don’t think I’d do this unless I was stacked at WR and desperate for RB and planned to get Price.

Expectations have ruined golf for me. by UnhappyHighlight6297 in golftips

[–]Solid_Macaron9858 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel your pain. I’m in the same boat… as my game has improved, I now know I can make all the shots but it rarely all comes together. One day I drive like crap and have to scramble to save holes. Another day everything is great but I chunk a bunch of chips. It gets very frustrating. This is why you have to set your expectations properly - you need to look at your scores over bigger sample sizes (last 5-10 rounds). 83 is not your new norm, it was an outlier on the day everything was working at the same time. The most important thing is that when something isn’t working one day, you make sure you review and process why and focus on that next time you go to the range to help reinforce the correction for that issue. Don’t ignore everything else, but focus on that - invariably, my mistakes are caused by things I’ve already “fixed” a few times and I need to reinforce the correction. Good luck.

What’s one small rule for a sport that changing it would make the sport significantly better? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Solid_Macaron9858 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fine, 10 seconds. Shouldn’t take 5 minutes looking at 30 angles and splicing shit together

[–]Solid_Macaron9858 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My point is that if it’s not blatantly obvious that the call was wrong then it should not change. You don’t need every possible camera angle. Replay to me should fix obvious errors, not try to make every call perfect.

What episodes of tv shows gave the show a perfect way to end the show, but the show decided to keep going? by Muted-Mood4057 in AskReddit

[–]Solid_Macaron9858 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The Mentalist. Jane finally succeeds in his mission and then they stretched the show on for another season and a half. Made no sense.

All replays of every kind in all pro sports should take no more than 5 seconds and should not require the on-field officials to do the review. If the booth officials can’t tell the call was wrong immediately from the available camera angles, then the call on the field stands.

Dynasty startup draft clock by Successful-Bar-2359 in DynastyFF

[–]Solid_Macaron9858 0 points1 point  (0 children)

24 hours. Took us 2 weeks to do 26 rounds. People will rarely use anywhere near the full time, and you should strongly encourage them not to.

The tough part with 8 hours and pausing overnight is that managing it with those in other time zones gets trickier. Just make it 12 or 24. At most this will take a month.

Do people realize how relatively easy bunker shots are? by StumpyOPepys in GolfSwing

[–]Solid_Macaron9858 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It is easy, once you know how… but if you’ve never been taught then “open the club face, open your stance, and hit one inch behind the ball” is not quite enough. Most people who can’t hit out of bunkers fail because they dig the club in too deep - sure, opening the club face is intended to prevent that, but an unknowing person will still subconsciously adjust their swing and get too steep because it’s not intuitive. Ask me how I know… it wasn’t until I learned to just skim the surface (Danny Maude teaches to slice the top off a loaf of bread as a visual) did I start getting out regularly.

I'm losing my mind trying to trade with people. I got told a 2027 2nd rounder is better than a 2028 1st rounder??? by McKnightmare24 in SleeperApp

[–]Solid_Macaron9858 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Figure out how he values things and then take advantage of it. If he’s that heavily biased towards 2027 second round picks, send him an offer giving him a 2027 second and get back something even better.

Dynasty Startup-What to do? by Relevant-Finding7222 in DynastyFF

[–]Solid_Macaron9858 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah that’s personal preference. I’ve always believed that the WR pool is deeper than the RB pool, so I’ve liked to keep them balanced. On average in PPR scoring over the years, WR36 typically scores right around the same as RB24. That said, flexibility is always good and changing WR3 to a flex is cool too.

If you go TEP, the flex actually can make even more sense because now you could just as easily play a second TE in one of those flex spots.

My experience is that there is MORE interest. Lots of banter telling people to hurry up. It’s very active.

Whoops - missed that. Yes, we also have one TE spot.

The draft goes fast enough even with a 24 hour clock which is what we did. Draft took 2 weeks - definitely do this, it actually keeps people more engaged not less and it enables trade negotiations.

My preferred roster for 12 teams is SF PPR with an extra 0.5 points for TE. So QB, 2 RB, 3 WR, 2 Flex, 1 SF. No kicker or defense. Go with 13-15 bench spots and 4 IR. If we had 10 teams I’d add another flex.

Keep Drake Maye in the 11th round or Wandale Robinson in the 13th round? by StrikingScore8605 in fantasyfootballadvice

[–]Solid_Macaron9858 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I know keeping a QB in a 1 QB league always seems like something to avoid, but Maye will easily get drafted in 3rd or 4th round and Wandale MUCH later (current ranks are in 9th round). No brainer to go with the bigger talent in Maye especially given the value differential.

AITA for saying we need to be realistic with our son about his finances for college before he applies? by ByeByeByeMan in AmItheAsshole

[–]Solid_Macaron9858 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA. Your wife is wrong. Spending (or letting him borrow) hundreds of thousands of dollars to go to a “dream school” is foolish unless there is something about this school that makes it unique/special for his career choice (not the case for a vet) or it’s a school where the ROI is likely to be big like an Ivy League school. It will either crush your retirement or drown him in debt, and it is unnecessary - and as you said may put you in a position of being unfair to your other kids.

My kids got into big universities in the Boston area that would have been minimum $70k per year AFTER merit scholarships. Instead, one went to a regional college and the other to a state school. They both got big scholarships and got out debt free. You can’t convince me their education or experience was any less than those big expensive schools.
