Its that time of year again fellas. Fantasy football is back and its time to do this all over again. Pm your guys email if your down. Last year we had 12 team league, im thinking about bringing that down to 10 so we can make it more competitive. I also want all the guys to participate so Pm me if your down. Ill set up the draft day once I get the league all set up.

Return of the gauntlet
-
Money league?
-

Take a pass on this one, no money involved lol
-
No money involved, just bragging rights.
-
I'm in.
-
I'm up for a money a league if anyone wants to start one.
But I'm very down for the pride league either way
-
Can anyone sign in? Never done fantasy football, but before skateboarding came into play I was a big football nerd.
-
Anyone can join. Just remember to pm me your guys email so I can set up the teams and fund out what spots are still open.
-
stoked for this. Any idea when you'll set the draft? If I can make a request: not the 1st of September, since my league with my friends drafts then. Hopefully this year I'll do better than last year.
-
is this through Yahoo or ESPN?

Do you mean American Football or "soccer"?

i'm down, especially if its done through ESPN

So "football" but you use your hands more than your feet. Cool. Rugby then. ;D
-
why didn't you go a step further and call it "stopy-starty handegg"? that would've been way more original
-
im in, I will show up to the draft this year.

Wasn't really that fussed, more of an actual question. A little tongue in cheek, sure. Was hoping to get some history lesson but should have known better.
-
Looks like we got quite a bump. Ill have to remove some people that havent played and put the new guys in.

if you want a history lesson: basically we took rugby, made it slower and less fun to play, and added more merchandise and commercials. And it's awesome. 'Murca.
-
Yea, if anyone wants to do a money league, I'm down.
-
I'm fine for money or not, the other league I'm in is $30 each, winner takes all.
lamf, I was thinking about you saying you might take it down to 10 teams to make it more competitive, honestly it might be a little more competitive if there were a couple more teams. Draft picks would be more important, more of an emphasis on waivers/trading...could get a little hectic though.
-
How would a money league work?
Does everyone Paypal their buy-in to the winner after the championship for the jackpot?
-
There is a site called leguesafe.com or you would use PayPal. I'll run the money league but I'm not doing it with less than 10 people. Pm me if interested.
-
I set the time for the draft. Its August 18th at 10:00 est. Its right after week 2 of the preseason so we will pretty much know who is playing and who isnt. Its gonna be a snake draft and the order of the draft will be determined an hour before the draft. So get to studying fellas, and may the best man win.
-
I got the draft email so looks like I'm all set
Good luck boys
-
Brett Favre, Aaron Hernandez, Percy Harvin, Johnny Knox, and the Titans Defense

Just a reminder that the draft is this Sunday.
Also if anyone who wanted to play but didn't get to hit me up. My league has a few roster spots open.

So I have to work tomorrow afternoon and I'm probably going to miss the draft. Is there a way I can just rank the players I want and then auto-draft the ones that are available when it's my turn? I could try to use my phone during the draft, but it could be questionable using it at work.

yes can go into your auto-draft settings and select the order of the positions you want to draft
go to your 'my team page' then under your team name go to 'Edit Autopick Strategy'.
-
Had a mediocre draft today. Only 5 people drafted and there was a lit of auto picks. If you guys don't keep up with the league I will start removing owners and replace them with other. In a lighter note, I drafted pretty good and already sent out my first trade proposal. So good luck to everyone and may the best man(aham) win.
-
yea that was a pretty weak draft turnout, where the hell was everyone?
I pretty much changed up my entire draft strategy due to all the auto-picking
Think I did alright, but my RB situation could be better
-
I guess I'm the only one who wasn't affected by the autopicks because I got everyone I was expecting to get and some that I wasn't.. The first 8 rounds felt like cherry picking. This is the year I get over the hump.
-
i didnt know it was happening already. fuck.
-
I feel like I drafted ok...I'm a little unsure about RGIII but I've gotta have faith!
-
Just 4 more days until kickoff and it starts for real. Hope you guys have been keeping up on whats been going on and is ready for this year. Just a reminder that if you don't keep up I will drop you and replace you with someone else. Good luck too all and may the force be with you.

DL'd the ESPN fantasy app just to stay on top of shit, I'm ready to rumble.
-
I'm not in the SLAP league but I need to get my lineup set this week
RB situation:
C.J. Spiller against NE
Lesean Mccoy against Washington
David Wilson against Dallas
Steven Ridley against Buffalo
I know Ridley isn't always a 3rd down kind of guy, but he's playing buffalo defense. I'm pretty sure I will start Lesean, I head he's going to have a great season. David Wilson has a lot of weight on his shoulders with all the injuries, he's guaranteed to run a lot. But CJ Spiller is such a good running back.
Keep in mind I can play 2 RB and a Flex. Also, should I start Dwayne Bowe or Randall Cobb?
-
Who do you have at receiver?
I would start cj at rb1 and lmc at rb2. No need to get cute you have two top ten rb's on your roster. Ridley will get some play witch makes him a flex nod. He's a pass catcher so if you play ppr and are shallow on receiver he's a start.
Since I don't I know what your wr case is like I'm assuming Dwayne Bowe is your wr3 and I would put him at flex since your rbs aren't exactly goal line guys.
-
Cool I think I'll stick with that RB lineup.
Julio Jones wr1
Randall Cobb wr2
Dwayne Bowe wr3
Eric Decker wr4
Cobb is going up against SF which is rough. Dwayne will probably be alex smith's favorite WR especially against jacksonville
-
I wouldn't be so worried about opposing defenses. You are pretty stacked at skill positions. Cobb and Bowe are definite #1 receivers and should see a plethora of targets. Jones is an obvious #1 or in some circles 1a/b
I stayed away from atlantas receiving corps this year because all though I love roddy white and Julio jones, you never seem to know which week is going to be the receiver, and in the case of roddy white he has a great track record of health. Very rarely do both perform at a high level in the same game. Just my two cents on Atlanta.
As a rule of thumb always start your studs.
-
Right on I can definitely see that about Atlanta, especially last year. They're playing New Orleans this week so I figure both of them are probably good for 10+ Fantasy points
-
I'm happy with how my auto draft turned out. I promise not to Taco the league this year.
-
I'm not in the league but, the season starts tomorrow.
Go Packers! Any of you Chicago fans can eat shit. :-*

I need trade advice!
I'm in a money league (winner gets $600) with some friends in town. I drafted three backs who all have a week five bye: Doug Martin, Alfred Morris, and Peyton Hillis.
Another owner wants one of my defenses, New England or Baltimore.
One trade he proposed was the Jet's Chris Ivory and Chicago tight end, Martellus Bennett for the Patriots' defense.
He also suggested an alternative trade with St. Louis starting back, Daryl Richardson, for either of my defenses.
Should I accept either trade or wait until week five and just hit the waiver wire?

I would go for the Chris Ivory trade since your getting more for the New England D. Baltimore will still put up good numbers during the season.

Daryl has potential to have a monster season. Defenses/Special Teams can be really hit or miss. Personally I pick up the defense of whoever is playing the jets or oakland; there isn't much point having two defenses in my opinion. Everyone knows that the Jets passing situation is shitty, so they will expect Chris Ivory to carry a lot of the workload; they'll be ready to stop ivory
-
The first week is over. How did you guys do? I fucking did horribly, cannot believe David Wilson got me -3 points. Remember to set up your line ups for this week and look out for any good waiver pick ups.

I got screwed in my league too. CJ Spiller, David Wilson, and Steven Ridley. Thankfully I played LeSean McCoy instead of Wilson.
Sudfield got me 0 points. Picked up Jordan Cameron instead. Vick killed it last night.
-
the mango molesters completely raped me, there wasn't much I could do against the Payton onslaught. I've got two waiver requests in, hopefully that will fix some of my issues. I hope Team Rudolph is ready, this is the Little Boys' week, I can feel it.
-

I lost in SLAP's league and I lost my hometown money-league, but I won in the Pomona Valley Football Society league.
Trade advice, please!
An owner in my money league is willing to give me Frank Gore and Anquan Boldin for my no. 1 back, Doug Martin. Do I accept?

is your leage ppr? becuase if so anquan will go huge for you this year
-
like wtf is the fuckin thread about?
-
This thread is a chronology of how I won this years fantasy league.
Edit: anyone thinking about trades right now is severly overreacting to week 1. You don't need to go crazy about trading to at least week 4 when you can tell which way your season going. However anyone who is trying to buy defenses for skill players needs to be taken full advantage of.

Ask if you can get a better WR. Personally I don't like to have too many players from the same team because it gets tricky around bye week and you never know who is gonna perform better.

I don't think Frank Gore will have a phenomenal year this year like he did last season. And I have a hard time believing boldin will be able to exploit the defense like he did last weekend.
-
I concur. Green Bay is a soft defense. See how the niners fair against Seattle. You don't really have enough data to make accurate projections this early in the season.
-
To owners n the SLAP league:
I'm willing to trade any of my players excluding Foster, Cook, Ryan, and Cameron.
Make me an offer for:
-Tom Brady, DeMarco Murrary, Pierre Garcon, Miles Austin, Cam Newton, Kyle Rudolph, Peyton Hillis, the Vikings D
-
I'm up against Iamfordie today, our projected totals are me 109, him 111
should be a good matchup
-
I just wanted to say that I'm shocked and appalled by the plethora of poorly thought out and unnessacary trades. However, Tayvon Austin is officially on the market so if anyone wants to give up Jordan Cameron or Josh Gordon perhaps, as league co-commish, my office is always open. Also if anyone makes another dumb trade I'm vetoing it. Seriously, Bryce Brown for Coby Fleener? Are none of you aware of the waiver wire?
-
Im willing to do some trades. Anyone is up, I just need some decent rb and wr cuz I am depleted right now. One thing that is good is how so many people are updating their teams and keep it going. As for me, cannot believe im 0-4, I won the championship last year and now Im in dead last.
-
FUCK THIS JOCK SHIT

it must be some kind of curse dude, that's how my friend who won in my other league is. I'd be down for trades, but the few offers I've received haven't been super appealing to me. Although, with how little MJD and Doug Martin are achieving, maybe I should have traded them.
-
I Barely squeeked out the win against Tiltmode Starmie last weekend with a score of 112-111. It all came down to the last game on sunday too. Kenbrell Thompkins for the Patriots saved my ass with 18 points.
3-1 going into week 5, and Andrew Luck has been running shit. Smack was talked at the draft for drafting him too early but I think it's paying off.

lol that trade made sense for me, my TE was hurt and on a bye week. Fleener ended up picking up 13 points for me that weekend. Not really seeing the down side or stupidity to that trade.

can someone actually explain to me how fantasy football works

In most cases 9 other nerds and yourself have a draft from the pool of players (offensive) in the nfl. Some go through a snake draft (1-10 then 10-1 back to 1-10 etc etc) while others do an auction and bid on players with x amount of dollars, everyone has the same amount. After the draft is done teams go head to head to see which team is better. Points are produced by the stats the players produce in real life games. This last for, usually, 13 weeks until the top 4 teams go to the playoffs until a champion is crowned.
@choad. That trade was dumb because you could have easily found a replacement level tight end off waivers, in most cases you would have lost the week but you also made some other suspect roster decisions so who knows. The value of Bryce brown if lesean McCoy gets hurt is substantial and you gave that lottery ticket away for 2 pennies on the dollar.
@sean pablo murphy this ain't jock shit this is geek shit, the only jock I see here in this thread is your faggot ass. And best believe ill fuck you till you love me. That's a promise :-*
-
I see what you are saying, but the TE selection from waivers is bad, and that trade won me my week.
We'll see if I'll be regretting it down the way.

0-6, gotta love fantasy football.
-
I'm 4-2. Lost Cobb and Julio Jones and Vick and Steven Jackson
-
undefeated in a twelve team league that has only 7 members play 8)
-
I'm not doing so well. It doesn't help that my highest scoring player is my defense. Come on, Alex Smith! Or RGIII! Or anyone else, really.
-
I have 3 opening in teams that are pretty good. Their owners haven't done anything in weeks so Im gonna need someone to pick up their teams. So if your still interested PM so we can arrange someone.
On another note, 0-7
