I almost won my first time, and I only signed up to play because a group needed an even number, so I said, "What the hell, sure."

#103

#104

I changed the amount of teams that make the playoffs from 4 to 6, and the top two seeds get a Bye during the first round. This way everybody plays each other once during the regular season, then three weeks of playoffs.

#105

Draft is today?! I thought voting ends tomorrow.

#106

Look at the question we were voting on - it has the draft time in the question.

#107

5 minutes until the draft, get in here y'all!

#108

So I've never played with an IR slot before. How does that work? What injury status is required for a player to be stashed there, and can that player be pulled back out the moment they're healthy?

The team has to put him on IR and then you get an extra bench slot. You can reinstate him immediately but you'll have to drop someone.

Autodraft really bent MP over the barrel.

Seriously? Aw man. Daisy and I met a couple of folks for dinner last night, and I thought I'd be around, but then they invited us over to play games, so I couldn't say no to that. Especially since my manual draft policy was going to be "pick the person with the coolest sounding name". :P

!!!!

It worked! At least for Round 1. This guy's name is "Marshawn Lynch". Totally would have picked that because mafia. :P

#113

Dang it! It only worked for Round 1. All the other names are not cool. Except for maybe this guy "Nelson Agholor".

#114

Week 1...the two new guys face off.

#115

Oh, that's true!

#116

Well, that should be interesting.

#117

All you friggen dopes picked RB's Round 1.

Auto draft did it. :P

nah I wanted TE, then QB, got stolen my first TE pick, so picked QB, then TE, then focused on RB/WR

in a 14 team league, PPR, picking RBs round 1 is funny money.

TE's and QBs are pretty similar in that you can wait a few rounds to get either. For future reference :P

#123

Unless you get first pick, then taking a top tier QB is ok. Not necessarily the best, but OK.

But we're not PPR.

Uh, yeah we are :P

#126

Eh, 0.5 per rec. That's not enough of an incentive to refrain from taking an elite RB.

I can imagine you going to check if we're PPR, finding out we are, smashing your keyboard around a bit, coming back, and trying to play it cool.

#128

what's a pee pee ar

Points Per Reception. Every time a player catches a pass, thats .5 points. Usually its 1 pt, but TH is the boss this go around

Nah- I looked over the score setup before signing up and didn't recall seeing anything that indicated PPR. It probably didn't register in my head because it's half a point.

#131

They'll add up :P

#132

I went with half-PPR because in a 14-team league, the RBs like Bell or Forte who catch a lot of passes are insanely valuable and there's not enough of them go around.

#133

Also I told Rico to wait on TE and QB, so he did the exact opposite of what I told him to do :P

You hinted at trying to snatch Gummybearsky, but I forgot about the latter, "postpone-otherwise" part of your advice.

Also I almost fell asleep. Woke up at 9 ET dead, logged in and basically went Leroy Jenkins with the drafting.

#135

So I kinda wished I looked over the league rules a bit closer before the draft. I knew we were a .5 pt PPR but I didn't know that our QBs only get 4 pts for a TD....That might've made me wait on a QB a few rds later.

#136

So this is where my beloved is hiding..... I should have known.....

#137

ONE post isnt exactly "hiding"

#138

Lol. You so cute! ! And manly. My beloved is tough and manly. And a superhero and stuff.

Okay, but what's your excuse for drafting Vernon Davis? You must like goose eggs every week.

#140

WHo else does Capernick have to throw to (especially when it comes t ored zone targets)??? TE depth sucks and DAvis is just a place holder until Gates comes back from suspension. I figured it was a boom or bust pick: either he returns to fantasy form in which case I got potentially the biggest steal in the draft or he remains average or worse in which case I can search the waiver wire for another scrub TE.

That's why I can't wait to kick his little tushy ass.

#142

EVERYONE wants a piece o' this...wait yer turn!

#143

Christine Michael to Dallas HYPE

#144

nah....he'll replace McFadden once he gets injured in wk 4.

Good thing auto-draft gave me Matt Forte then.

This should be an interesting year.

When b matches yo and what do I have to do to prep for them

Most matches are held on Sundays, with a couple on Monday night and sometimes one additional one on Saturday. This week is special in that one match is held tonight.

So get your rosters ready.

#148

My what? My roosters? Nobody said nothing about a cock fight.

#149

It's okay man, it's a cyber-rooster fight.

Actually they've got Thursday night games almost all season long. I'm glad I don't do regular fantasy football anymore because these Thursday games probably force you to make your rosters changes much quicker.

Rooster fight? I believe the traditional term is cock fight, which reminds me of a Kings of Leon song/video from before they were Top 40 darlings:
