I trust we'll be announcing a draft date soon?
This is MY year... 8)
The NFL season kicks off on Thursday September 7th. Invites are out to everyone so let me know if you did not get yours.
We need to solidify a draft date soon.
My schedule is tight in late August. I think people just need to throw out dates and we will see what works best for the most people.
I could do a draft late on labor day, Saturday the 27th, and the weekdays in and around those dates. Due to my lack of availability, I may be forced to auto draft this year.
It would be good to set the draft early to make sure everyone gets their keepers in and that they are valued correctly.
Your world champion Massillon Tigers are in. Let the wailing and gnashing of teeth commence.
No wailing; no gnashing.
I'm only here to tell you that you can enjoy your 'crown' this year, but you're nothing more than a paper king. It's not like anyone beat me last year, but I beat myself. That won't happen again. I'm more focused and more honed in than ever. My comeback this year will rival the that of the '72 Dolphins. Undefeated!
I'm going to go all George Zimmerman on all of you this year - murdering kids and acquitted of all charges. (too soon? I think I found a new team name though)
Ebony - I'll go ahead and pencil in Aaron Hernandez as your first pick, murderers rate higher than rapists, right?
Jack Be More - you're your own undoing.
Congro - dude, are you even still alive?
BeeTees - just keep autodrafting yourself into the bottom half of the rankings. Good work!
The Engineers - hahahahaha
Massilon - I'm moving to RSA just so you can deliver me a turkey sandwich with my ValPacks
and finally,
Post St. - man, there's really nothing left to say. I'm sorry that I never took you up on the bet you lost, though you offered more than once. That's on me, not you. Just keep your chin up, little buddy. I like a nice, clean landing area. Don't want it hitting the floor when I'm done. I'll hand you the towel after I've wiped up.
Good luck to everyone this coming season.
Nah, fuck it. Luck's not helping any of you this year.
I have to say, it is pretty impressive that within an hour of accepting your invite, you make me already question why I sent it.

Thanks NRW... best post of the day!
An all right folks, most of the league still needs to sign up. I just sent out another round of invites to anyone who hasn't signed up yet. I would like to get everyone signed up by August 11th. This way I have time to fill spots if someone isn't coming back.
Keepers will be due by the 19th. If anyone is keeping a player for a consecutive year, their value will be assigned as of the evening of the 22nd according to Yahoo's average draft position for that player.
As for the draft day, I am still looking for suggestions. If no one gives any input I am just going to set it for what is best for me which will be one of the following times:
Sunday August 25th – 8PM
Monday September 2 – 8PM
Some random weekday between the August 26th and September 4th at 8PM
Monday 9/2 doesn't work....that is the FSU-PITT game
8/25 is fine
as for random evenings, the 27th and 29th are out for me
The 23rd and 24th are out for me.
I still only have 6 people who have reclaimed their teams. If you are not coming back, please let me know so I can find replacements. If you need me to resend your invite send me a PM. I want to get the league finalized by the end of this week.
Send me an invite again. I may have accidentally deleted mine.

I need someone who can at least dress up and play while challenging the system. Too bad A-Rod is in baseball. That's the type of defiant candidate Team Stud seeks!
I just resent it to a hotmail account that is in yahoo from last year. If you need it sent somewhere else PM me the email address.
That account is still active. Thanks.
Everyone but Steve has either reclaimed their team or told me they are not coming back. I sent an email and PM to Steve but I haven't heard anything. If someone has a better way to reach him and can find out if he is playing I would appreciate it.
I sent a message last night to another MJ member about playing but haven't heard anything back yet. Hopefully him and Steve sign up to complete the league.
Don't forget to also claim your keeper for this season either here or on the league message board.
Gators312 has taken over one of the open spots. I am just waiting on Steve to be able to finalize the league. If I don't hear anything by Monday I am going to solicit for someone to take his spot.
There is some movement in draft order due to going from 14 to 12 teams. It now goes like this:
1-Bridge Troll (BeeTees)
2-Wacca Pilatka (Rashean The Fish)
3-The Lakelander (The Ebony Stud)
4-Lucasjj (Post St Playmakers)
5-Gators312 (Suburban Dwellers)
6-Steve or His Replacement (Congrotastic or unknown)
7-Danno (Johnsonville United)
8-TUFSU1 (Jack B More)
9-Cline (The Edgewood)
10-Non-Redneck Westsider (Best In The West)
11-Manasia (Addison's Anarchy)
12-Riverside Mail (Massillion Tigers)
Hmm. Team Stud finally gets to draft near the top? Season is over guys. I'll be sending out invitations to my championship party by week five.

Well, well, well.... I'll PM you my mailing address, and if your parties are anything like the players you draft, I guess I should go ahead and make sure my tetanus shots are current be sure to have a rape kit in the trunk.
Can anyone suggest a pair of shoes to wear that go with a nice bullet proof vest?
Who are we trying to kid.... your pity party will be held in week 3.
I assume it will be a house party considering most of his team is usually on probation or house arrest.
Yes, house party planned. Plaxico's metal detector at the front door should catch the guns, Big Ben has finished counseling so the ladies should be fine, and Vick has promised not to electrocute any dogs during event hours. Ray and his boys also have a limo reserved. LT and Stanley Wilson said they're in charge of refreshments and Travis Henry is in charge of supplying protection for the frisky folks. Should be a great time. Just watch out for running backs coach, OJ. They say he's gotten pretty good at turning toothbrushes into shanks.
I wanted to name my team Wacca loves Tebow, so when I win we can all say it was because of Tebow.
'Cause the team name is the only place I have room for Teebs

I think Lawrence Phillips and Rae Carruth are available as well...
Oh, and can we draft defensive players this year? Can't have a party without the Dolphins' Brent Grimes and his legendary birthday cakes! For those who don't know, Google it.

I don't know if you've got 'em on the list, but could have JaMarcus and Jolly bring some of that Purple Drank....
I know J.B. sticks to the Bud.....weiser and most of the rest just stick to the bud... I don't really prefer either.
But a little codeine syrup and koolaid and I'm right where I need to be!
Gator312,
Philips and Carruth will have to wait. Already promised the next spot to Cecil the Diesel. He should be getting released soon and wants the chance at a comeback. Oh, and unless he's going to turn water into rum and coke, you can leave Saint Tebow at home.

Lake,
I enjoyed watching Teebs racking up all the trophies, but even I wouldn't want to party with a buzzkill.
You could always invite Riley Cooper. I hear that guy knows how to party.
Also I think every kicker that the Colts draft usually knows how to enjoy himself as well.
And you know that just in case you run out of food, you should invite over Joe Cullen... we could always send him to Wendy's to pick up some late-night burgers and fries.
Janikowski would be offended by your kicking suggestion.
Lol, did you see the names on my party list? The only thing Cooper would start is a riot!
I already agreed with Vick to leave the dogs in the basement (roosters are still fair game though...we'll just throw the losers on the grill). Cooper comes and all bets are off.
Gotta leave the thugs like Tebow and Cooper at home.
I posted this on the league page as well...
Everyone has reclaimed their team so we are good to go. The schedule is set and the draft is set for Sunday the 25th at 8PM. If this isn't convenient for the majority of people we can change it. As always, if you cannot make the draft, Yahoo will draft for you. I have a live draft earlier that day so the wife may go all Mrs. NRW and pull me out by the hair for trying to do this draft as well.
Only three teams have submitted their keeper so far. Please do that by the end of next week (Aug 18th). You can submit them here or on MJ. Remember if you keep a guy who you already kept once, their round value will be based on Yahoo's average draft position. You can see what that is currently by going to "Draft Central" on the league page and scrolling down to "Draft Analysis". Just take the average pick (not round) and divide by 12 to see which round they are going in. After the 18th you cannot change your keeper. Your only option is to discard your keeper which you must declare to me the day before the draft. I will then remove your keeper and you will get back your pick for that round.
I will confirm each person's keeper for their round and value in case there is any confusion by anyone.
25th is fine with me as long as the time doesn't move up from 8PM. That will give me time to drive back from Atlanta.
All right folks I need your keeper selections. I only have keepers for 3 teams so far. Deadline for keepers is this Sunday. So either respond here, with a PM, or on the league page.
Let me know if you have any questions.
Since Aaron Hernandez won't be available, I'll select Alfred Morris as my keeper.
Here is this year's keeper list by MJ-Team-Player-Position-Round
Bridge Troll-BeeTees-Aaron Rodgers-QB-2
Wacca Pilatka-Rashean The Fish-Cecil Shorts-WR-14
TheLakeLander-The Ebony Stud-Alfred Morris-RB-14
Lucasjj-Post St Playmakers-Colin Kaepernick-QB-14
Gators312-Suburban Dwellers-N/A-N/A-N/A
Steve-Congrotastic-No Keeper-N/A-N/A
Danno-Johnsonville United-Drew Brees-QB-2
TUFSU1-Jack B More-CJ Spiller-RB-8
Cline-The Edgewoood-Andrew Luck-QB-10
Non-Redneck Westsider-Best In The West-Randall Cobb-WR-10
Manasia-Addison's Anarchists-Tom Brady-QB-4
Riverside Mail-Massillion Tigers-Ray Rice-RB-1
*Aaron Rodgers, Drew Brees, Tom Brady, & Ray Rice are all being kept for a second year. According to our keeper rules, the round they are selected in for this year is based on their average draft position according to Yahoo. The round above is based on their average pick position as of this morning. I will make it official on Thursday since that is the date I posted previously.
At this point you cannot change your keeper. However you have up until Saturday night to throw your keeper back and make a selection for that round. You must notify me though through email, the league page, or MJ.
I hope some of you set your auto draft for tonight....

I woke up to see that score TU and had to do a double take...
I need a big night from 3 guys tonight and it still won't be enough.
This thread's been quiet for practically the entire month of September. What gives?
I really don't like crowing from the top of the mountain, it usually comes with consequence, but when have I ever been lacking in confidence?
After a bit of a stumble at the start, I've now outscored the rest of the league. It's me against the world and I'm 3-0 and taking names.
The name for this week, Rivalry Week, is PostStreetPlaymakers. He comes into the week with a respectable 3rd place standing (should be 2nd, but The Ebony Stud has the luxury of playing in the scrubs division) and it looks to be a close one.
Looks can be deceiving.
And as we move on into another year, there is the yearly tradition of a side-bet heading into Rivalry Week. PSP lost last year and was even kind enough to remind me about about it a few times, though I never took him up on it - a $20 tab at Dahlia's.
This year, let's keep it interesting - I'm going to put up my winnings from last year and I'm going to let you set my roster (a la 'The League') If I win, it's $40 at Dahlia's. If I lose, you're not out anything. The rules for setting the roster - Every position has to be filled with an active player. You have to submit my roster no later than 5pm on Thursday evening. If a player is deemed unavailable between Fri & Sunday, then you have until 10am Sunday to replace him, or I will.
So? How bad will it hurt when I beat you with the team that you select? Or.... You could, you know, puss out and not even accept the challenge. Your call.
Now on the clock..... PostStPlaymakers.
Hey NRW it's easy to be #1 when you have had the fewest points scored against you! :P
Our commish has been awfully quiet since his week 2 loss to the new guy.

Hahaha.... Normally I would agree with you, but I also have the highest point total in the league as well - after dropping an absolute bomb in Week1 - to the tune of <80pts, I've re-established myself right where I belong. ;-)
If I'm not mistaken, it was going to take a lot more than some sugar to wash that medicine down that I gave you in week 3.
Edit: (Just a little reminder....)
QuoteBest in the West devastated Suburban Dwellers 149.45 - 103.54 while also putting up the highest score of the week. It was an epic beating, and the 45.91-point margin of victory is the third-highest in the league this season. Josh Gordon led Suburban Dwellers with 30.80 points while Robert Griffin III brought in 15.74. Best in the West (2-1, 390.99 points) climbs into third place while Suburban Dwellers (1-2, 339.20 points) drops to ninth place.

Trust me when I say that I totally feel you.
In another league, I'm leading the league in points and am 1-3.... I've scored the 2nd highest every freaking week, but it seems no matter who I play has a record week. I pulled my first win by a squeaker after both Graham and Sproles lit it up.
NRW - I hope Matt Bryant can put up 6 points tonight so you can cap off your crushing defeat by doubling up my score. It should probably count as two losses since it is so bad.
The only solace I have is that Romo is my QB in my money league and his performance puts me in 1st place.
I hate fantasy football... why do I do this?? :-[

Lol.
You can also find solace in the fact that i faced both Romo and Manning each in a different money league.
Once again, Matt Ryan came through late in the 4th quarter, allowing me to win....now this week against NRW may not be as successful.

It's not about beating me anymore, Lake. It's about not losing as badly as the others. And while my regular season might be more impressive than Manning's, my post season history is about as impressive, so there's that. Lol.

Difference is, mine are focused on winning and not their next arraignment hearing.

We most definitely left points on the field and are looking to correct those mistakes this coming week. We're not playing JackBMore, we're playing The Best in the West (probably with ourselves by halftime if you don't come any better than the last 4 fools), so...
Do what you have to do during work this week to bide your time until Sunday.

busy morning sir....I finally got a minute to look on MJ...so here goes....
The rag-tag group compiled by Jack B. More this week appears to have taken down the supposed king. All this with no good running backs, his best receiver out for the season, and his starting QB on a bye.
To his friends in the other division, Jack B. More says "You're Welcome!"

Nice job Wacca, Thursday night I was feeling alright...
I have to say, I didn't see the Cam showing coming either. I was picking my QB more or less by the dartboard method this week.

Hmm, it appears the world has righted itself. The Ebony Stud is the pimp daddy of this league!

Sweet! What type of cereal did Nick Foles eat for breakfast? I want a year's supply!
^ perhaps the Eagles don't need to draft a QB next year
Yawn....at this league. Anyone going to step up and give me some competition? Looks like I'll have my division wrapped up pretty soon.
Just waiting on the playoffs...just like the Miami Heat
yeah... my team of underperformers was a huge disappointment for me this year... :-[
Finally, playoff time. No competition so far so Team Ebony Stud gets a well deserved bye while their victims battle for a spot to get massacred next week!

I would normally have some clever and/or witty retort to the BS you continually post, but since I've limped my sorry ass into a first round bye in 3 of 4 leagues, I'll just it / you slide.
Besides, I think we're getting used to all the talk coming out of the U followed up with a lot nothing. If you had half a team ,you'd handle your business in clutch games like my Clemson Tigers..... T - I -G - E - Rrrrrrrr...... wait a sec..... nevermind.
Don't worry. If you can make it out of your bracket, I'll be more than happy to put your overachieving team out of its misery.
has anyone seen the recent resurrection in Baltimore...coinciding with Jack B. More making the playoffs....don't bet against the champs!
Nope. Team Stud was/still is so far ahead I stopped paying attention six or seven weeks ago.
Some of you guys in the playoffs benefit from an ACC like schedule.....soft as cotton candy.
If Suburban Dwellers had played every team in the league each week, they would be 86-57.
Best in the West would be 85-58 if they played every team every week
If Congrotastic had played every team in the league each week, they would be 76-67
Jack B. More would be 70-73 if they played every team every week
In true Gator fashion: JUST WAIT 'TIL NEXT YEAR! ;)
One word.......domination......
If The Ebony Stud had played every team in the league each week, they would be 98-45.

Crap. You guys are lucky I lost my top draft investment in Gronk yesterday. However the Stud has depth at that position. Say hello to Charles Clay.

I'm going to file this in the "We didn't lose, we just beat ourselves" folder, which strangely, is in the same place that I keep my stash of teeny-tiny violins, kleenex and sandy vaginas.
Let me be the first to concede. Someone has discovered the rabbit's foot needed to overcome the Stud's dominance.
Have your RB and K put up 83 by 3rd. That will do it every time.
At least I'm not going out limp like Best in the West. The Stud bought his A game this week. Post Street's stick was just flat out bigger this week.
At least the Dolphins won, so not all is lost.

I am changing my team slogan to this.
I made it to the championship game in both my leagues on the back of Jamal Charles. Now I am hoping Drew Brees has the worst game of his career since he is the opposing QB in both of my leagues.
I have Jamal Charles in another league. I lost in the first round of that one, so Charles' performance yesterday has benefited me by screwing up my draft position for next year. Now I'm locked in either the dreadful 5 or 6 slot of a 10 team league.
let me be the first person to announce my keeper for next year....with ability to change my mind of course
Baltimore Ravens kicker Justin Tucker
I'll go with Nick Foles.....
Johnsonville United back on top! It is great to be Champion again..... Nice to be back to my winning ways..... Thank You All!!!!!
League Champion
2010
2011
2013
Congratulations Danno. You have literally dominated this league.
Sunday was a complete disappointment for me as I lost both of my championship games.
Congrats Danno. If not for Lucasjj selling his soul to the devil last week, Team Stud would have loved the opportunity to take you down.
Lucasjj,
It was way closer than it looked. The NE Patriots Defense had a huge week otherwise I would have been sunk as Drew Brees had a crap week.
Lake
There is always next year.
It was a good week all around... I was laid off work and my last day was Friday... Got a job offer the same day so now I have a couple of weeks off until I move on to my new job with 7 months severance pay in my pocket and a pay increase with the new job!
^Nice!
Plus you get to use the winnings from being the Champ to help pay for Christmas!
Oh....
wait a sec.....
;)
Congrats, Danno. Any win over PostStreet is a win I can stand behind. ;D
Ebony, I think you need to wash yourself a little better. I think there was some PostStreet remnants left after you returned the favor to me.
Good season everyone. See you next year.
The regular season is about six weeks away, Sept 4.
Time to start thinking about a draft date?
I'm in!
Yep
I will start the league back tonight or tomorrow. I have been slacking.
Edit: It's been renewed. Let me know if you did not get your invite. It went to whatever email it went to last year.

Im back for more punishment... Ouch... last year left scars... :o
Lake - I sent you a new invite to edavis@metrojacksonville.com
In there like swimwear, baby!!!!!
Still waiting on the following people to sign up: Lake, Cline, and Steve who is always the last one so that is expected.
Right now the draft is set for Sunday August 31st at 1. I am open to suggestions though.
I'll sign up before the weekend is over. Just been busy in the streets of Philly and DC, so I haven't had much online time.
Streets of Philadelphia...Bruce Springsteen would be proud ;)
It is time to get the ball rolling on the upcoming league year. Unfortunately for all of us I invited Danno back. If we had a trophy it would be named after him at this point. All but two people have signed up. One of them is Steve, who will undoubtedly sign up the day after the deadline and Lake who already confirmed he is coming back.
The 2014 NFL season will kick off Thursday September 4th. I have the draft date set for Sunday August 31st at 1:00. This will allow the draft to take place after all of the preseason games and not interfere with college football on that Saturday. I will give Steve until August 18th to claim his team, but I hope he does it before then. All keepers need to be in by Monday August 25th.
Keeper rules are unchanged from last year but here is a refresher in case you forgot. If you are selecting a new keeper, that keeper will be your pick for whatever round you or another team drafted them in 2013. If the person went undrafted they will be your 14th round pick. If you would like to see when a guy was drafted in 2013, switch the league year to 2013 on the home page and click draft results. You can also see who you have on your final roster by switching league years and clicking "Final Rosters".
For a player kept in the previous year by you or another team, there is an inflation cost. That person's round value will be assigned based on Yahoo's average draft position (ADP) as of August 25th. I will be using the average pick not average round value. So for instance a player with an ADP of 22, it may say round 3 in Yahoo but since that is a 2nd round pick for us, they will be assigned a 2nd round value. Also picks will be rounded to the nearest whole number. So an ADP of 12.6 will be 13 and a 2nd round pick.
You do not have to select a keeper but after the deadline there can be no changes. Your only option at that point is to throw back your keeper and make a draft pick in that round. You must do this before the draft.
This is the draft order for this year based on last year's standings. It also is the keeper list for last year, what round they were kept in, and shows if the person was still on that team's roster at year end.
(http://i1177.photobucket.com/albums/x355/Lucasjj/DraftOrderandKeeper.jpg)
I look forward to the perfect year this season where I finish one spot better than last year while NWR finishes 8 spots worse.
hehe - funny:)
Actually got back late last night from vacation. I think I'm all set now.
Just officially signed. The Ebony Stud is back. One question though. Will Hernandez clear parole before the draft? A offense featuring him, Big Ben, Ray Rice, Travis Henry, Josh Gordon and Blackmon should be pretty potent.
Janikowski and the Kicker and the Raiders defense?
Of course. That fat kicker won me $1k in a money league a few years ago.
The first keeper pick in the 2014 Metro Jax Fantasy Football League goes to....
The Best in the West! Making anther serious run at the playoffs this year after falling all over myself last year....

Just remembered this morning I have fantasy responsibilities... According the chart below I pick number 3 overall and Aaron Rodgers will be my second round pick?
(http://i1177.photobucket.com/albums/x355/Lucasjj/DraftOrderandKeeper.jpg)
You do have the third pick but the Aaron Rodgers thing is reference to you keeper last year. Due to the way our keepers work, if you keep him again he will be your pick for whichever round his current ADP is since you kept him last year. You can check this on Yahoo. It most likely is the second round. You don't have to keep him though. You can select anyone else on your ending roster from last year and they will be your pick for the same round they were taken last year. If they were undfrafted they will be a 14th round pick. You also have the option of not taking a keeper at all.
Remember, I need everyone's keeper by next Monday.

Jack B. More has decided to rescind his offer letter to LeVeon Bell and will instead extend an offer to Coradelle Patterson in exchange for a 14th round pick.
After last nights arrest, Bell must have shot up Lake's draft board.

Not until we find out that they had kidnapped and sexually assaulted the young girl that was in the car with them.
Then they both might go in the first round and second round.
Mary Jane possession doesn't even warrant a Free Agency visit to the Ebony Stud's Collection of Convicts. ;D
Arrested for Mary Jane? I'll have to see if my aquatic engineering position is open. You'll need more than grass possession to be issued a Team Stud practice jersey. Now Blount did punch a guy out in college. That's the type of aggression needed to rack of Ws. He can get a camp invite. But just being a horticulturalist only means you've reached cheerleader status.

Remember the draft is this Sunday at 1:00 PM. If you cannot make it, Yahoo will draft a team for you based on their rankings. If you don't like some of their rankings you can go in before hand and make adjustments to those rankings.

Will it hold up after the tape's reviewed......
lol... wow ;D
Haha....during the draft someone remarked that my selections would have been good, if it were 2004 or along those lines.
Well, look who's leading the pack after five weeks. I guess those old guys like Gore, Gates, Sproles, and Rivers must have found the fountain of youth!
Jack B. More, are you ready for your whipping! Not that it really matters since you're going to lose by at least 50 but you'll need to visit the waiver wire for a new starting RB. If you act fast, Peterson is available and I heard he comes with a switch!
I will own up to that comment. It fits nicely with my losing record.

careful...my team is getting its stride back...and my QB is playing that "vaunted" Dolphins D!
Got it. Maybe they can provide some competition and lower my win margin to 30!
Two words... FIRST PLACE.
Don't worry. You won't be there for long. Team Stud had the injury bug for a few weeks but appears to be getting healthy again.
is Team Stud still trash talking after his favorite team stuck their heads between their legs at halftime last night?
Lol, Team Stud never stops talking trash. They could go 1-9 and there would still be trash to talk!
Getting killed today. Need at least 70 points from Drew Brees tomorrow lol.
Peyton Manning made me SO damn mad! Seven points, WTF??? To make it so bad, my opponent had RB CJ Anderson, so all of the points went to him instead of Manning. Regardless of Manning's rubbish fantasy points, I STILL had a chance to win the matchup, but out of three tight ends, I had to have Greg Olsen (25pts) on the bench, and I started Jason Witten (6 pts) and Coby Fleener (decent game with 13 pts). It was just a very crappy week, between the Jags game, and my fantasy team... I know that no one gives a damn, I just had to vent... :(
Odell Beckham Jr..... Thank you for the performance today..
I am happily taking the #1 pick next year!
Sooo... who had Rogers yesterday?... ugh... >:(
that would be me....but I may win anyway.
Problem is, for much of the season, he was all I had...in one week, Rodgers scored 53 points and my whole team scored 85.

I'm playing for a consolation spot, thanks to Peyton Manning; I have his brother Eli in there now. :(
This would have had this in the bag already if I would have started Tannehill over Brees... But I would have been stupid to do that....
No repeat for you, my friend! My team pulled a come from behind win.
Was a nail biter.. congratulations. We will be back next year!
With two months until the start of the NFL season, it is time for everyone to begin assuming that they know more than everyone else when it comes to running a football team. I have reactivated our league and have sent invites out to everyone who played last year. If you didn't get your invite, let me know. If you do not plan on playing, please give me a heads up so I can work on finding a replacement. I would appreciate everyone getting signed up by the end of this month with keepers to follow. Right now the draft is set for September 7th at 4PM but we can change that dependent on preference/schedule.
Here is the 2015 draft order and keepers from last year. Remember the keeper value is only good for one year. After that, if you want to keep the same player, they are assigned the round value based on Yahoo average draft position.

Congrats tufsu!
You earned that #1 draft pick, buddy. ;D
No keeper for Rashean the Fish for this year. Thanks.
Unless something miraculous happens with Drew Stanton's status, I'll be burning my 14th pick on Martavis Bryant - WR - Pittsburg
Everyone but Cline has signed up. I have sent multiple invites and a DM but have been unable to get a response. If anyone else can get hold of him to find out if he is playing this year, please do. I will give it another week and at the point I will start looking for a replacement. I also would like to get all keepers in the next couple weeks.
I am in. Sorry for the delay...
Thanks. Surprisingly Steve wasn't the last one to sign up this year. If you look back through this thread, he was the usual culprit.
I want to lock in keepers by the end of next week. Also I picked Monday September 7th for the draft, which is Labor Day. Not sure how well this works for everyone, so if people want to suggest a different date/time, have at it and we can see what works best.
I want to get keepers wrapped up this week so that people who actually prepare for the draft have some time to do so. The deadline for keepers is this Sunday. I have only had responses from 5 people, including myself. Either message me, post here, or on the league site. If you don't know how to look at your roster from last year or have other questions on how the keepers work, reach out to me.
I'll set Tony Romo as my keeper this year.
I'll keep Marshawn Lynch
My keeper will be Andrew Luck. Sorry about the lateness...
Here is the keeper list for 2015. For those who kept a player for an additional year, that player's value is determined by Yahoo's ADP. This value can change up to the weekend prior to the draft. I will post the final value of that player the Friday before the draft. At this point no one can make a change to their keeper. However you can between now and the day before the draft throw back your keeper and choose not to have one without penalty.

Currently the draft is set for September 7th at 4PM. I have not heard from anyone about changing that so I assume we are good with that time. If you can't make the draft, Yahoo will auto-draft for you.
Thanks Lucas.
So now that we're all set, the only question left to answer...
Who's playing for second place this year? ;D
http://www.youtube.com/v/n2YjsiWW4zE
^Great question. NRW! The trophy is already in the process of having the Stud's name engraved on it, so I guess you'll be one of the losers fighting for that second place ribbon.

That's just weird Lake, but if you want to engrave your name on a participation trophy, go right ahead, just don't tell Daddy Harrison...

Here is the final keeper list. The only change was Brady actually slid to the 7th round. If you no longer want your keeper, let me know by Sunday.

Yes. We were thinking that there might be another spot opening up this year, but....
Unfortunately until the leagues cleans up it's act and can actually keep a felon off the field, The Ebony Stud will always be able to field a team.

This is actually our fifth year. July/August of each year we start back up but I am not sure when we will have a space open up again. Now that you commented, you will make the list of people I hit up if a spot opens up.

Same goes for me. A family engagement changed at the last minute to 4PM.
The championship game is upon us...
Not all of us:(......horrible season all around this year.
Horrible first round of the playoffs for me. I lost 3 of my key starters to injury in the first quarter of the 1pm games.
I'm losing one to suspension if that's any consolation.

After that player's game last week, I do not feel bad for you
Grad school had me dragging my feet this summer on renewing the league. I finally have gotten around to it this morning. Everyone is automatically in from last year. If you don't want to play, let me know so I can find a replacement.
Currently the draft is set for Sept 8 at 7PM. If that date is bad let me know. I just picked it at random.
Keepers are due Friday September 2nd. The rules for keepers are below. You can see your roster from last year by going to the league page and changing the league year on the main page. You can also see draft results to see when a player was drafted. Below are the keeper rules in case you need a refresher.
For a player kept in the previous year by you or another team, there is an inflation cost. That person's round value will be assigned based on Yahoo's average draft position (ADP) as of August 25th. I will be using the average pick not average round value. So for instance a player with an ADP of 22, it may say round 3 in Yahoo but since that is a 2nd round pick for us, they will be assigned a 2nd round value. Also picks will be rounded to the nearest whole number. So an ADP of 12.6 will be 13 and a 2nd round pick.
You do not have to select a keeper but after the deadline there can be no changes. Your only option at that point is to throw back your keeper and make a draft pick in that round. You must do this before the draft.
This is the draft order for this year based on last year's standings. It also is the keeper list for last year, what round they were kept in, and shows if the person was still on that team's roster at year end.
(http://i1177.photobucket.com/albums/x355/Lucasjj/2016%20MJ%20Draft%20Order.jpg)
I'm in but the draft date doesn't work for two or three of us who played last year. We'll be at the APA Florida Conference in Tampa, September 6-9th.
I'm in if there are any extra spots.
Throw out a date and time that works best and I will change it.
The new time is Sunday September 4th at 4PM.
^ thank you sir
Totally back in.
I'm back in to defend my title. Odell is my keeper. Thank you.
That guy there in the endzone is my keeper this year - Rnd 11

Looking forward to the season but I'm still trying to get h my head around the keeper rules: If I keep my keeper from last year which you state would be based on this year's ADP how exactly is that different from picking a different keeper from last year's team? Wouldn't that player go by this year's ADP? And how are you getting the ADP info for the date you mentioned earlier?
I'd still like to keep Andrew Luck but I'm not sure what round he would be now and may want to look at other options. Thanks!

Nope. You would forfeit whatever draft was used for that player last year.
Using my example: I picked up Hurns last year with my 11th pick, so I won't have an 11th round pick this year.
His ADP (Average Draft Pick) is 9.1, so if he were my keeper from last year and I still wanted him, I would give up my 9th round pick.
The theory is that the bigger the spread, the better the value. Since I'm only gaining 2 draft slots, it goes to show you how shitty my team really was last year. ;D

I still need keepers from the following people: Riverside Mail, Jax-Jerseylicious, Cline, Steve and Danno. If you do not want to keep anyone please let me know that as well.
Jax-Jersey and Steve have confirmed that they are back this year. I haven't heard anything from Riverside Mail, Cline, or Danno. With the draft this Sunday I need confirmation by tomorrow that you are again playing. Otherwise I have to find someone to take over your team on Friday.
I'm in.
I don't have someone that would make sense to use as a keeper. Throw them all back in!
I'll keep Doug Martin.
Here is where we currently stand with keepers. Let me know if I screwed up your keeper.

My keeper this year is Cam Newton :)
My keeper is Julio Jones.

My keeper is Julio Jones.
I sent you a message. I am not sure you understand the keeper rules. The player kept is your draft pick for that round. If you keep Julio, he is your first round pick since he was drafted in the first round last year. In your case that would make him the first pick overall. You could just draft him there and keep any other player you would like.
Here is your roster from last year: https://football.fantasysports.yahoo.com/archive/nfl/2015/256912/rosters?date=2016-09-01&week=17&mid=8
And here are the draft results: https://football.fantasysports.yahoo.com/archive/nfl/2015/256912/draftresults?drafttab=team
You can search for players on that page that you had on your year end roster who weren't drafted by you.
Looking at your roster, Gurley, Floyd, and Tate would all have value as a keeper.
I got it. i was half asleep and half out the door for work trying to pick someone. Make my Gurley my keeper.
Below is the final keeper list. Cline and Danno are out and have been replaced by sanmarcomatt and JaxAvondale. I have finalized the teams, divisions, keepers, and draft order. At this point all that is left to do is draft and then watch NWR run his mouth while managing a failing team.

Failing Team?!?!?
You mean "Rebuilding".
I pretty much looked around the league last year and decided to take a year off, much like any FA that comes to Jacksonville. You see the talent level around you and realize that anything close to resembling your best or even slightly better than average would be devastating to the fragile psychs of the others around, so you tone things down a bit.
I'm hoping the addition of some new blood might raise the competition level up a bit, but somehow I doubt it.
Are we sure that JaxAvondale realizes that this is a fantasy American football league and not some cheesy roto-futbol crap?
Will sanmarcomatt, regardless all of his wry financial musing, manage to keep his shit together when he realizes that he might end up with a player that has a 'questionable' background?
Has Rog finally ended the Ebony-muffin's reign of leading the league in criminality. And let's be honest, how many of those felonies have turned to wins? For a lover of all that is UM, you still haven't seemed to grasp that 'felon with actual talent' concept.
Hell, the only way any one ever stood a legitimate chance of winning was after Johnsonville left. "But what about me...." Hush Massilon, the sun shines on a dog's ass every once and a while. I should let you know that I think I've figured out a way to electronically spam the USPS with front door pickup requests for any address. Get ready for a Looonnnngggg season.
Anyone here feel sorry for that Baltimore guy? I sure as hell don't. His 3rd place finish was such a fucking anomaly that it almost gave me hope that unicorns and fairies might exist. Right alongside FSU taking the ACC again this year or even in the near future.
And Post St... forever the bridesmaid. The only thing that even keeps you relevant is that fact that you're the commissioner of the league. And even though you're not as reviled as good ol' Rog you kind of remind me of him. High school standout but was never really good enough to play the game outright. So he finagled a way to put the entire league in a stranglehold.
When the bullied becomes the Bully....
Here's to another mediocre season. Be prepared to kiss the ring in December!

Hmmmm....I guess my outlandish objections to domestic violence could "handcuff" me ( I am here all season) during the draft but I think I will be able to manage.
My worst draft nightmare is Josh Brown falling to me in round 14 and having to deal with a difficult moral dilemma. I may have to use up all of my clock on that one.....
Well, my friend you're gonna be in for a really long season if you're coming in with expectations of a punter lasting to round 14.
There's usually a solid of punters between rounds 7-11.
Consider this the only true advice I'll be giving this season.

don't worry...The Ebony Stud (Lakelander) will draft as many criminals as possible
Unbelievable. I lost 3 of the 4 RBs on my roster to injury on the same day. To make matters worse, the one healthy guy was only supposed to be a temporary fill in until Jamaal Charles returns. Charles returns......this week.....
hey....I'm sitting on the Viking's McKinnon...once Charles returns to my roster, I'm happy to entertain a trade offer :)
Yea! I was in the same boat. My best player is Gronk and he has been hurt all year.
WallStTraders hasn't had the opportunity to run into the buzzsaw that is my team yet. 2 more weeks if you're lucky.
I would need to sit out a week or two for most of you to catch my total points.
So keeper envy aside, just be glad you were in that powder-puff division for the season.
My first time missing the playoffs in a decade of fantasy football. Lost both of my starting RBs, including my keeper, in week one or two. Ended up going 6-1 down the stretch by riding the Ajayi (my new waiver wire keeper) train. Unfortunately, tufsu1's crappy team couldn't put the stem on the apple this week, causing Team Stud to go limp.
The gods of fantasy football have smited the Post St Playmakers. A disappointing season with an 8th place finish while being 3rd overall in scoring.
This game is stupid.

Quite the record you had against that powder-puff division. 1-3?
As for your total points, impressive but too bad it didn't mean more wins, Hillary. I expect you to fade like a cheap purple pant suit.
Defense wins championships and clearly many are intimidated going up against my juggernaut of a team as my points against illustrates.
What others call "luck", I attribute to my belichickian game planning.
I will attribute my playing down to the competition habit to my Clemson background. They don't call it Clemsoning (http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Clemsoning) for no reason.
And while defense may win championships is a common belief, it's a proven fact that whomever scores the most points wins.
Ball control is a must and you can take my word that I'm very good when handling balls. ??? Wait...

I love this.
I too was beaten before the late game started last night, but the G-men kept Zeke out of the endzone and Dez actually put up a negative number. (-.5 for those of you keeping score at home)
So I hope Belichick pulls out one of those old tapes he likes to watch from back in the Knute Rockne days and let's the Pats run the T formation to victory with nary a pass thrown Edleman's way.

If you can follow up a Dez negative with Edelman being virtually shut out tonight I think I will nominate you for the league Golden Horseshoe up the ass award. (currently mine to lose)
If I win, man, I'd just ask that you hose it off before I cram it up there.

Just consider it an early Christmas present that I decided to put on my Gene Smith hat this week and try to show everyone I'm the smartest guy in the room by swapping kickers this week. Had I kept Sturgis (Gator) instead of Hopkins (herpes riddled deadbeat) it would have been a moot point. Not luck, just arrogance on my part. And it even occurred to me -- what am I doing putting a nole on my team -- and I still didn't change it.
No one to blame by myself. Overcame injuries all year and rode my workhorse Le'von on a nice winning streak. Thought I would do one game better than last year's runner up finish but it wasn't to be.
Let's hope for a stat correction to come in late tonight!

Damn did I get crushed this week.
I may have set a record for most pathetic performance in a semi final. So At least I have that going for me....
It was probably the F'ing Russians.
And I'm back to my regular season dominating form, but it's a game too late.
I'm in the champion$hip$ in the 2 league$ that count for more than bragging right$.
Congrats to one of MJ's founders, Steve Congro, for taking home the trophy this year.
I will note that his Congrotastic team got by the venerable Jack B. More team last week by less than a point for two very frustrating reasons:
1. The Bucs couldn't get even one first down late against Dallas and Zeke Elliott got nearly 20 cheap yards just running out the clock
2. Jack B. Moore's owner did too much thinking - and started Philip Rivers over Drew Brees. Brees had back-to-back awful weeks, but outperformed Rivers by more than 20 points (41.36 vs. 20.24). In fact, Jack B. Moore's bench outscored Congrotastics's bench 87 to 11.
(taking a bow)....
Thanks guys! Enjoyed as always. I noticed thelakelander has been awful quiet in this thread.....
Lol, you guys let Congro win? You all suck! Especially, Jack B Moore's pathetic team.

Would have finished a lot higher if I hadn't lost all my RBs to injury the first half of the 1pm games in week 2. Took me a few weeks to recover but ended up going 6-1 down the stretch and had the same record as Congro when the season ended. All I needed was your lousy team to win in week 13 to move to the six spot and you blew it!
Another fun season. Congrats Steve on your championship.
Congrats Steve. I concur, fun season once again.
Howdy Folks! We have moved into the month of August and fantasy football is back on the mind. We will assemble for our 8th season to once again go through the motions of losing at fantasy football, or at least that is my experience. I have sent out invites to everyone who played last year. I used the default email address Yahoo provided. I assume it is whatever you used last year to sign up. If you didn't get your invite, send me a DM with an updated email address. If you are not coming back, let me know so I can work to find a replacement.
More of you need to be like TUFUS1. He signed up immediately. He has the kind of hustle the rest of you should aspire for.
I will look at the calendar and put out more detail on possible draft days/times and keeper deadlines.
Quote from: sanmarcomatt on August 01, 2017, 09:05:30 AM
One question on the keeper, do you lose the round that you drafted the player last year or do you lose one round better?
If it's your first year keeping him, you lose the round he was drafted.
If it's the second year or more you're keeping him, you lose the round of his ADP for the current year.
Team Ebony Stud will solidify its position to have its way with the rest of you very soon.
In recent years, we've gotten away from selecting players who force their reckless abandon for everyday life into the violent game of football. With this in mind, our new president of football operations and now free man, Cecil "The Diesel" Collins, will help bring fear back to this league.
In addition, new coach Clubber Lang and coordinators, Bill Romanowski and Richie Incognito will be assisting in establishing proper gamesmanship on the field and culture in the Team Stud's locker room. With that said, Coach Lang has already issued his prediction for losers lining up against Team Stud on Sundays:
(https://pbs.twimg.com/media/COyx1NvWEAAbANh.jpg:large)
Other than that, have a good time in your race for second place.
Here is the draft order and last year's keeper list.
(https://lucasfilehosting.files.wordpress.com/2017/08/2017-mj1.jpg)
As NRW said, keeper value is based on where the player was drafted last year, by you or others. If the player was undrafted, they have a 14 round value. If they are being kept for a consecutive year, their value is determined by Yahoo ADP. You can see your year end roster by clicking the "year" drop down under the league name on the Yahoo page and changing it to 2016. You can also see last year's draft results that way. Keepers will need to be in several days before the draft. So we will know that deadline once a draft date is in place.
With that said, week one begins Thursday September 7th. The weekend prior to that is Labor day weekend, which may not work for people. That pushes us back to the 26th or 27th but that leaves a lot open in terms of possible injuries or position battles since games are still being played. Our drafts are typically quick (1 to 2 hours) so doing them on a weekday works. I am flexible, so if anyone has any preferred dates/times due to schedules, let me know.
We haven't gotten together in person in several years. I am down for meeting up somewhere with beer, food and WiFi and doing some drafting whether it is the weekend or weekday.

Put Matt Ryan down as my keeper this season.
Congrotastic is back in. In terms of getting together for a draft-I think it's a great idea, but can't guarantee my attendance.
Regardless, I'm ready to defend my crown.
Lucas, no keeper this year again. I'll do it again the hard way:)
I'm in & ready!
Lucas,
Are we drafting opposite order of last year's finish or is it random?
Quote from: Non-RedNeck Westsider on August 02, 2017, 09:36:36 PM
Lucas,
Are we drafting opposite order of last year's finish or is it random?
It is supposed to be the based on the playoff and consolation brackets. The playoff teams are seeded 7-12 based on where they finished with the champion picking 12th and moving down. The top 6 is based on the consolation bracket with the winner getting the first overall pick. This way people can't tank for the first pick. I screwed up when I looked at it and grabbed the final standings which isn't right. I have updated the previous post but here is the correct draft order.

Two things:
Lake - just to make sure we are on the same page, Ajayi was drafted last year in the 10th by NRW. So even though you picked him up off waivers, his 10th round value is tied to him for this year. It does go to show how terrible a decision NRW made, which is always good to admire.
NRW - you didn't have Johnson last year. I pulled a screen shot from your roster which is 100% legit and nothing can be stated otherwise. I assume you are confusing Johnson for Yeldon. To make things easy for you, I will just assign him as your round 1, 8th overall pick.

Everyone is now signed up, divisions are set, and the schedule is final.
Here is where we stand on keepers. All keepers will be due 2 days prior to the draft, what ever day that ends up being.
(https://lucasfilehosting.files.wordpress.com/2017/08/keepers-mj-20171.jpg)
I haven't heard from anyone regarding the draft. At this point I am thinking the evening of Aug 31st to provide some entertainment during the last preseason games or Tuesday September 5th. I would also consider Saturday the 2nd at 8PM to give TUFSU something to do other than cry through the FSU game.
We have kept the same scoring settings for several years. I am throwing out some possible changes. Let me know if anyone has an issue with these changes
Remove -1 for missed PAT since those are not a given anymore
We have return yards turned on for offensive players. I propose removing this entirely, or turning it on for the DFS/SPT. Default for Yahoo is to not score return yards for either.
Defensive yards allowed is scoring 5 points when a defense holds a team to 0-99 yards. With the high power offenses today I think we should change this to 10 and do 5 points for 100-199 and 2 points for 200-299, 0 points for 300-399, -2 points for 400-499 and -5 for 500+
Both me and Tufsu1 will be at a conference in Daytona the week of the 5th. I'm pretty sure, I'll spend Labor Day weekend visiting my parents in Central Florida as well. I could do 8/31 in person though.

Totally cool with the proposed Missed PAT change and Defensive yardage. Splitting hairs, but I'd be cool with 3 for 200-299 as that's a feat in today's NFL
Personally, I'd turn Return yards on for all players. I think the defense should get additional credit if they have, say, an 80 yard interception return but don't get the touchdown. Even if they do get the TD, I think they should get more credit for a long return then say someone catching a Blake Bortles pick six where the DB just has to step in the end zone.

You may want to invest in a pantry full of Kimberly-Clark products and enjoy your win against LA-Monroe. Your Noles are going to find themselves in an 1-2 hole to start the year off...
I'm cool with the scoring changes.
I'm taking a group of family/friends to Dallas starting 8/31 for a trip to Jerry World on 9/2.
I will carve out time to draft on 8/31.
I am still missing keepers from a few people. Here is where we currently stand. I would like to get this wrapped up by this time next week (8/29).
(https://lucasfilehosting.files.wordpress.com/2017/08/mj-2017-8-22-17.jpg)
Draft date is set for 8/31 at 7:30.
Made a few scoring changes:
- Miss PAT does not penalize any longer.
- Defensive yards allowed scoring 10 points when a defense holds a team to 0-99 yards, 5 points for 100-199, 2 points for 200-299, 0 points for 300-399, -2 points for 400-499 and -5 for 500+
- I turned off all return yards. Yahoo doesn't give points to defenses for return yards except for Kickoff and Punt returns. For instance it would only award 6 TD points to an 80 yard interception TD return. There is no way to award points to the return yards. And I feel adding return yards to Defenses changes the "position" since you are no longer making a defense selection choice on defense alone. I also turned it off for offensive players to maintain a players value at their position (RB/WR). However I left Return TD's on. So if you do have a position player who returns kicks and they score a TD you can be awarded for it. But I don't want to skew value through kickoff yardage which is easier to come by.
Let me know if anyone has an issue with any of this.
Yeah I'm cool with not penalizing kickers for the missed PAT.
Not keeping anyone this year.
I personally prefer return yards on and missed PATs costing points because they make setting up a roster more strategic, based on game day conditions and matchups. However, I'm not going to lose any sleep either way.
And with the return yards set at 25yds/pt, it's not a huge swing, but it does add some attractiveness to those WR4/5s that may not see the field much except for their special teams plays. And that adds depth to the pool of players which I think is a good thing.
But like Lake, either way is fine as long as it's set pre-draft.

I put back on return yards at 1 point per 25 yards since most people responded to keeping those on. PAT misses has been upheld since majority of responses were for removing that. And no one complained about the defensive yards scoring.

Devante Parker
We only do one keeper. Here are the rules on keeper selections and round value.
Keeper value is based on where the player was drafted last year, by you or others. If the player was undrafted, they have a 14 round value. If they are being kept for a consecutive year, their value is determined by Yahoo ADP. You can see your year end roster by clicking the "year" drop down under the league name on the Yahoo page and changing it to 2016. You can also see last year's draft results that way.
Gronk
Quote from: JaxAvondale on August 24, 2017, 10:07:46 PM
Gronk
I will put Gronk as your keeper but just to be clear, you are keeping Gronk in the first round. Therefore he is your first round pick and you do not have a pick in the first round. You could actually keep Parker in the 10th and still draft Gronk in the first or second if you think he will still be there.
I will keep it as Gronk unless you tell me otherwise.
Yeah, you don't have to worry about me taking a TE in the first couple of rounds. I would snap up Parker before the 10th if he's available somewhere after the 5th or 6th round.
Quote from: sanmarcomatt on August 25, 2017, 08:44:49 AM
So are we having the draft at EverBank? There was some ad to host your draft on last night's game. Fantasy football at Everbank sounds much better than "real" football at Everbank. And I think the commissioner picks up the tab....
You show up at the stadium and wait for the rest of us to get there.
I did think that was interesting until I saw you had to make reservations and you get tickets to a future game, which made me realize that it would all be expensive.
I will keep Tom Brady
I would like to officially change my keeper from Devonta Freeman to Drew Brees - I believe that would be giving up my 3rd round pick instead of my 1st round one
Do we have a location for a live draft or is everyone on their own this Thursday?
All keepers are in. Only one person kept a keeper from last year (manasia - Tom Brady). His value is set from Yahoo's ADP which is 24.8 and makes him a 3rd round pick. All other players are set by their draft position last year. If something is incorrect, let me know.

I am down for meeting up Thursday to do the draft and watch meaningless football. We just need a place with TV's, beer, food, and WiFi. I was thinking Mellow or Hoptinger for places in the core, but anywhere else with those features works for me. You can draft with pretty much any device now on Yahoo, so a phone or tablet will work if you don't have or want to bring a laptop.
Just found out I can't be available at draft time and will have to autodraft...do I need to do something to change my settings for this? Thanks

You do not have to do anything. It will recognize that you are not there in the draft room and auto draft for you. If you want a little more control of the process you can add players to Preferred or Do Not Draft Lists. You can get there by mousing over "Draft" on the league site menu bar and selecting "Pre-Draft Rankings".
^ Thanks!
Just PM me your log-in name and PW and I'll handle it for you.
Today is draft day. Anyone have interest in drinking beer and drafting? This isn't some full blown draft event. Its more of an accouterments to making meaningless football interesting on a Thursday night. I assume most of us are around the core, but I am willing to get out wherever. I figure Mellow would be a good spot.

If Mellow is a draft site, does anyone know if they have any spots to plug in? I will be on a laptop and my battery sucks. Even a quick draft could be dicey.
I would think in the large are to the right of the bar there would be some plugs. I can get there around 6ish to confirm and to get several beers down before the draft. I figure that I haven't had any success in the league drafting sober but maybe my luck will change if I am half in the bag.
Only Lake and I seem to be sure things at this point. I don't Lake wants to have dinner with just me, so if we can't get more people on board, I assume everyone will just draft from home.

It is smart that you are abiding by your lady this time. We don't need you getting dragged out of another draft again.
dilemma??? Which one of these guys is bad enough to play on Team Stud's roster of delinquents?
(https://www.gannett-cdn.com/-mm-/fc2e0ce527fd4e0874aaaa5ac3d116dff19e23ce/c=0-10-3117-2353&r=x404&c=534x401/local/-/media/2017/02/27/USATODAY/USATODAY/636238186893646349-USP-NFL-AFC-WILD-CARD-MIAMI-DOLPHINS-AT-PITTSBURG-87817854.JPG)
I don't think either of them have the pedigree for team Stud. If you are going with a Steeler, it has to be Roethlisburger or Martavis Bryant. Just pass on these two. Let those with a later pick, maybe say the third overall make that decision.
Team Stud has standards and he doesn't value wasting high picks on QBs. Pencil in blackballed Kaep over the weird guy who hangs out in lady's restrooms at the bar.
To Bell's credit, he did get arrested for possession of marijuana, was suspended a few games for violating the league's substance abuse policy and has been holding out this preseason. So this guy is no Blake Bortles.
To Antonio Brown's credit, both his former trainer and personal chef claim he's an asshole. Evidently, he's the opposite of Chad Henne. Assholes and holdouts who believe they are more important individually than the team can both have a spot of Team Stud's roster.
Team Stud has identified its 1st round selection and made a decision on its draft strategy for tonight. No Mellow for me. I'll do my draft at home.
Team Stud's plans didn't play off. With Ajayi already in the fold, the strategy was to end up with 3 MVP level players by taking a high end WR with the 1st pick and hoping Zeke Elliott's suspension would make him available by the 24th pick. West Ham blew that up, selecting Zeke with the 19th pick. Also figured I'd get DeVante Parker as a steal in the 6th. He's going to be Cutler's boy this year. Well, he got snapped up two spots before my selection. Overall, I'm not concerned. This team will win or lose the season with its RB and WR positions. Got some decent talent at both. We'll just have to see how it plays out during the course of the season.
Quote from: sanmarcomatt on September 01, 2017, 08:34:47 AM
When Gekko and I first discussed the possibility of taking AR with the 16th pick we knew we had to keep it under wraps. We did hundreds of mock drafts....never once taking him so high. The disinformation campaign was relentless--in coffee shops, we mocked people who drafted QB so high.
The key was getting our #1 target at 9...when Mike Evans name was called, the cheers in the war room could be heard by the hookers on Phillips to the One Percenters on River Road. With Melvin Gordon in the fold, Operation AR was now a go.
The effect on the draft was noticeable. Confusion.Awe. Suddenly, everyone was doubting everything they thought they knew about fantasy football. Doubt was creeping in.
Then Hunt falls to us at 40. Gekko and I did a high five. Our back field now looked like our brokerage accounts.
At this point, the draft room was stunned at what had been built with the 9th pick. They had said it couldn't be done.People had no idea what to do. Picks taking forever...time even being used up and default picks being made. We calmly scooped up the WR we had been targeting while indecision reigned around us.
I felt like W on Iraq: MISSION ACCOMPLISHED.
What could go wrong?

That Parker pick was a real let down for you. Imagine the receiving core you could have had pairing Parker with AB and Benjamin. Such a missed opportunity. You will be looking back at that all season thinking about the one that got away. And to make it worse Parker sits on my bench due to my abundance of riches. Once Luck and the Muscle Hampster returns, this team will run itself on a coin flip with all this talent.
And I don't feel inspired enough to write much of anything today, but I'd like to politely point out that this is the 5th (?) year in a row that Jack B More has won the offseason with no real chance to parlay that into a winning season.
Baltimore fan my ass, dude, you're Jags through and through.
I called it when you picked, but if it happens, it's only 6 games at the most and where you drafted him, still positive value IMO.

pretty sure this is only the 2nd year in a row where I have had the best draft - and I was pretty close to the championship game last year - the Jags haven't done that in this century.
I'm not in your league but have won mine 3 times. I believe it is how good you are at dealing with injuries and managing your team at the very end of the season which wins these leagues. Inevitably some player will surface who is not considered legit at the start of the season (Dak Prescott for instance) and might be critical at the end of the year. My $00.02

Inevitably some player will surface who is not considered legit at the start of the season (Dak Prescott for instance) and might be critical at the end of the year. My $00.02
It might be a little harder for you this year, you know, having to lose that extra bench spot to hold Kaep in case he gets the call.
In about 8 games (weeks) we'll see how the Jags QB's are doing.......................
I do have Hearns on my bench and A Rob as well. We'll be trailing in every game so they might put up some numbers.
LMAO!

Hurricane Kareem roared in as a Cat 4 last night. Early reports show landfall directly on Jack B More's head. All members of MetroJacksonville Junkies are under a Hurricane watch for the rest of 2017. WestHam United is now under a hurricane warning for Sept 17.

From one Division Leader to another.... It's never too early to speak of the perfect season.
I'm not worried about perfection, though. A 'wrist injury'?!?!?
Whatever Arians you sly dog. Stashing the horse away until the playoffs.... I like the way you think.
Who's better equipped to survive a hurricane than a fish?
Yahoo doesn't have much faith in the stack of Abdullah and Stafford producing 60 plus points for an NRW win.

No updates to report from 2-0 Team Stud's locker room. The Ebony Stud is doing what was expected.
Quote from: thelakelander on August 01, 2017, 11:19:38 AM
Team Ebony Stud will solidify its position to have its way with the rest of you very soon.
In recent years, we've gotten away from selecting players who force their reckless abandon for everyday life into the violent game of football. With this in mind, our new president of football operations and now free man, Cecil "The Diesel" Collins, will help bring fear back to this league.
In addition, new coach Clubber Lang and coordinators, Bill Romanowski and Richie Incognito will be assisting in establishing proper gamesmanship on the field and culture in the Team Stud's locker room. With that said, Coach Lang has already issued his prediction for losers lining up against Team Stud on Sundays:

Other than that, have a good time in your race for second place.
^That meme and quote never go out of style!
Lol, Addison should not touch his roster. His inaction is working pretty well right now.
As week 3 nears a close, I'd just like to provide this quote from Congrotastic's first three opponents:

After 3 weeks of pure destruction,I can hear the whispers....should there be an occupy Wall Street Traders movement?
Is it fair that one team has so many fantasy points while others have so few?
Has the inequality gap ever been so large?
Hold on a sec...what the hell am I sitting on? There is something in the couch cushions....oh, heh heh heh...it is just some DST fantasy points I didn't need. Wait....what were we talking about?
Somehow we don't play until week 10. Save those DST points for your matchup against Congrotastic. You'll need them.
Enjoy it while you guys can. Eventually your teams will have to get in the ring and hit with repeated uppercuts of reality...

Nearly 30 years to the day of Black Monday, it looks like there has been a MARKET CORRECTION. The Wall Street Traders have now had their own
Black Sunday Black & Blue Sunday at the hands of the Suburban Dwellers. Even if we spotted you last week's DST points it couldn't save you.
Sure......our GM acts a lot like Gene Smith and our Coach is as lucky as Folksy' Jim down the road in Gainesville, but winning is winning and it feels great to take down #1.
Quote from: sanmarcomatt on October 02, 2017, 11:06:13 AM
Well, I hope it is a market correction and I am not entering a bear market :)
I just have one thing to say about this week's performance:
We're on to the Post Street Playmakers my bye week....
FIFY
Well, it looks like the last undefeated team will fall this week. Team Stud took advantage of an injured Marcus Mariota, forcing Congrotastic to rely on Tyrod Taylor for inspiration. Combined with that and the fact that Tyrell Williams, Carlos Hyde, and Eddie Lacy all had uncharacteristically bad performances and it leads to a bad week in the locker room over at Congrotastic.
The prediction comes true for Congrotastic....

I'll be fine this week if Mariota plays. If he's out again, I'm screwed. The stud of a backup Tyrod Taylor is on a bye, so I'd be picking between quality players such as Brian Hoyer, Case Keenum, and Jacoby Brissett.
Don't worry, Jay Cutler is available!
West Ham United is on the upswing! 4 game winning streak!

Dude, TERRIBLE Fantasy weekend. Got caught up and didn't even look at any lineup.
It hurt more in my money league. Left one guy in who was declared out early in the week, another on a bye, then lost by only 15.
From 0-5 to the title game.
Don't call it a comeback.

Congratulations on your title! Well deserved.
Good Win.
Congrats!
In case you haven't seen the email already, welcome back to another year of fantasy football! Yahoo apparently has a mind of its own because this league is not set to auto-renew but for whatever reason, it auto-renewed last night. Due to that, everyone is automatically back. There is no need to claim your team. Therefore, please confirm by replying to this post, through the league page, or DM me that you are playing this year.
I set the draft for September 5th at 7PM. We can move that around if needed. I don't anticipate any setting or rule changes but if anyone has any suggestions, throw them out there.
As in the past, we are a keeper league. Keepers will be due by August 27th. Keeper value is based on where the player was drafted last year, by you or others. If the player was undrafted, they have a 14 round value. If they are being kept for a consecutive year, their value is determined by Yahoo ADP. You can see your year end roster by clicking the "year" drop down under the league name on the Yahoo page and changing it to 2017. You can also see last year's draft results that way.
Below is the draft order and prior year keepers.
(https://lucasfilehosting.files.wordpress.com/2017/08/mj-20183.jpg)
I'm in. No keeper.
I'm in. Can someone remind me who won the league last year?
I'm in. I had a trash roster at the end so please assign my end of year roster to lakelander.
(obviously no keeper)
Well HELLO, League! Gee dunno if I'll retain a keeper this year with scrappy little lineup somehow scratching its way into the playoffs, but I'll select this Alvin Kamara fella' as my keeper cuz why not take a chance...
Quote from: sanmarcomatt on July 26, 2018, 01:02:10 PM
Since it is nice and early, I am all for setting up a draft location this year if anyone else is interested.
I am down for meeting up for some beer and drafting football players. We can move that draft date around to find a date/time that works.
I'm in and up for meeting up to draft.
Question is where? Will the Mayor pick somewhere serving Donuts or Beer??
Quote from: sanmarcomatt on August 08, 2018, 08:22:56 AM
Anyone up for Southern Grounds? Has beer, wine, and coffee. Plenty of seating and the wifi seems good.
That sounds good to me.
I still need several people to confirm they are back for this year.
Lakelander, TUFSU1, Riverside Mail, Non-Redneck Westsider, Manasia
I'm back!
I'm in.
(https://i.imgflip.com/ntniz.gif)
You know Im in.
We have 11 confirmed. I just need to hear from TUFSU1.
sorry - yes please
I'm in.
And this time with a different wife that (probably) won't come yanking me out of Hooters all pissed off.

I would actually enjoy seeing that again.
I am good for meeting up somewhere. I still owe NWR a beer from a bet made years ago.
I'm in for live drafting. Saturday, Sept 1 is out for me though.
Hey if the draft is live, let me know in advance. I can possibly make an appearance.
Everyone is confirmed back and half the league has claimed their keepers. Below is where we stand. I would like to get keepers confirmed by the beginning of next week.
As for the draft, it seems like several people are interested in getting together. Do we want to try something for Labor day weekend or for a weeknight next week or the following? I don't want to pick a date which people cannot at least draft live online, which may make labor day weekend a no go.

The wives ALWAYS have veto power. If you disagree, it's because you're not married or you're lying to yourself.
The 5th is good until it's not.
Got back to back drafts on the 4th so I'm in for the 5th.
I can likely attend in person. Some place in San March with reasonably priced drinks works for me - I'm not picky
No love for Murray Hutch?
No reason we couldn't take over a few of the high-tops at El Jefe.
Nothing says fantasy football quite like queso fingerprints all over your mouse and some salsa between the keys.
Hmm thelakelander is drafting number two? This weekend, I'll think about if I want to go with a keeper or start fresh.
I'll likely go with Miami's Drake or Josh Gordon in Cleveland. Both could be a big reward or huge bust but I have nothing to lose since neither was drafted last year.
I don't have a keeper.
Hey did we agree to a date and time? I was trying to see if I could make it.
Doesn't matter to me. I'll be in Central Florida. All I need to know is date, time and who's on parole.

They do. I've used it at about all hours of they day and night. Don't judge.
Lake - Unless I missed it, I still need a keeper from you.
Everyone else, I have your keepers and will update once I hear from Lake.
The draft has 12 rounds with 14 picks a round for a total of 168 picks. With a minute and half for each pick the draft could go 4 hours. I don't think it actually will take even half of that time since some people will likely auto draft and not everyone will take the whole time. However social grounds might be iffy unless we back up the time a little bit to around 630.

changed my mind - would like to keep Drew Brees - but of course I have a question - he was my 3rd round pick this year but seems to be averaging around 58 in Yahoo (which would be 4th round) - so would I lose my 3rd round or 4th round pick?

It appears that in 2016 I pulled a Roger Goodell and made the unilateral change to base the draft order on the results of the playoffs. That goes for both the championship and consolation brackets. Picks 1-6 are based on the where the teams finish in the consolation bracket and picks 7-12 are reverse order of the championship bracket. This gives the incentives for teams not in the playoffs to play out the season.
I will admit that the original rules of the league did say that this wouldn't be the how the draft order would be decided and we would just use reverse order of standings. I think I started doing it this way because my other keeper league operates this way and I just assumed both did. Since we have been doing it this way the last couple years, and it does have the incentive for non-playoff teams to keep playing, I will proceed with this method.
I did in 2017 state the draft order process when I posted the draft order and no one had issues or at least noticed the change.

Brees is currently going 50.7 according to Yahoo which would be round 5. So you would give up your 5th round pick for him.

I think we do social grounds at 7. If they kick us out, we will have to just mooch their wifi outside to finish the draft. We will start at 7 exactly. So get there early enough to setup.

Gurley isn't a keeper?!?!
and I thought JuJu was a 14 round....
I fixed it. I had your previous keeper round for Hunt still in there. The image in my original post has been updated.
Addison could have kept Gurley for round 2 value but he has picked Brady as his keeper 7 years straight now.
And just like that.... I'm out.
My brother and his family are coming into town Wed to hang out before he flies to Guam for the next 3 years.
Lucas gets a reprieve for at least another year.
I submit that Lucas can no longer change his keeper - its past the deadline - rules are rules after all ;)

They have plugs all over the place. And, just in case it is busier than I expect, besides the small parking lot in front, they have a huge one next to the train tracks.
Hey, we still down for Social Grounds at 7pm Wednesday?
I will be there tomorrow evening.
The keeper deadline is just me trying to wrangle up cats. If I don't set some sort of deadline, Lake would probably not even sign up for the league let alone get me a keeper. Official deadline is a few hours before the draft since I have to set the keepers and the draft order on the Yahoo league page for the draft to start.
I actually was keeping McKinnon in another league that drafts tonight, so i drafted him in two other leagues to simplify my fantasy rooting interests for the season. Now in two of my leagues, that ship has already sunk.

Ok quick question: are we meeting at Southern Grounds in San Marco, or Social Grounds in Springfield? I think Social Grounds closes at 5:30; Southern grounds is open until 9.
If you all are meeting at Southern Grounds in San Marco, I might be able to make it.

I appreciate the efforts of some, but am disappointed in many others for their lack of effort to attend.
For all of you with complicated schedules, you need to block out some dates on the calendar now for next year's draft. It will be our 10th year and we have to make an effort to get together for that. Wall Street can front a big draft party at Cowford for us all. Looking back, about 60% of the league has been here for every year. Even the ones we don't even want to be back.

^Yes, Mixon was an Ebony Stud finalist you stole! However, I'm confident Zeke Elliott and Adrian Peterson will serve us well. Both are known for beating their opposition into submission.
The champ did champ things in the first week. Next up, Ebony Stud!
A wise person once told me that it was foolish to sit on a pair of valuable assets: See what you can get from one of them, try to put it to good use as leverage or an even greater return as an investment.
With that in mind, I'm officially announcing that this week I'm entertaining trade offers for one of my two QBs - Kurt Cousins or Patrick Mahomes.
Clock is ticking and Mahomes plays Thursday.

So, the regular season is almost over and shockingly, I have had a decent year despite the fact that I could have had a squirrel draft for me and had a better roster. I won't have Mr Mensa against the Colts but it looks like I can back into the playoffs if necessary.
On a more serious note, I have concerns about NRW. With his record, I would have expected some trash talking this year but it has been crickets. Perhaps looking at his Bortles night light and his Bortles feet pajamas just makes even fantasy football too painful to think about. I am not sure.
Thanks for not mentioning my Blake Bortles full-size body pillow. That would have just been weird.
TBH, there's not much satisfaction from destroying you guys this year on my way to a 10-2 record and a practical lock for winning the Shiva. I mean.... I'm happy I'm winning, but since the team was autodrafted, there's no true joy in it. Losing to PostSt just makes it worse.
I wonder if this is how Gruden felt winning SB37 with the team that Dungy built? I'll guess I'll have a better idea in a few more weeks.

However, when you cross that unspoken line and go total F-S.B.P. for that guy shame, shame, SHAAAAAMMMMMME!!!!!! >:(
I had a horrific season!

The Treydery is waiting to defeat a real champion.
First, you make us...how do you say it...."Jump through hoop" with this extra game while others do nothing. These "byes" you call them...only for privileged. Land of equality....don't make us laugh.
Then you insult us by giving us opponent weak like Ukraine. These "Playmakers"....don't you need to make plays to be called "Playmakers"? Hah....I make joke.
Now you make joke by giving us the "Best in the West". This is your best? Too lazy to draft his own team. Lets machine do work. Typical American. Lazy in Russia? Die slow, painful death. Lazy in America? Get job working for government...live off fat pension.
Yes, Bring me "your best".
You will lose.
Wait...
What...
Is it next week already? [yawns deeply]

What a sucky season for Team Ebony Stud. The coaching staff has already been let go. GM Mercury Morris is now in charge to build for 2019.
The transcript for the half-time concession as Best in the West withdrew from the playoffs:
Solid job through the regular season guys, that was an otherworldly performance.
I'd really like to commend each and every one of you for the way you laid down for the playoffs. Superb job of of just barely showing up, is Odell even back from his bye week cruise? and shitting the bed all over yourselves.
Dak, that was the average, subpar performance that has kept you off of a roster for the majority of the season. Really glad you reverted back to you normal self when the season was on the line. Bravo.
Those of you on the Green Bay roster not named Devonte - Fucking Outstanding! I really can't add anything to your performance, the numbers speak for themselves.
The rest of you who contributed to the epic failure don't really need any recognition. You're all second hand players on your current team, and I really don't want to expend the word count trying to explain who you even are.
On to next year.
We'd like to congratulate The Tradery on securing a second round bye in the playoffs and wish them well next week.
If there's any solace I can take from this season, it is this: Post Street was a worse abomination that my team this year, so I can always hang my hat on being better than them.
Peace FKAMJ. The Jaxson Cup will be mine next year.

The Treydery is STILL waiting to defeat true champion. Your "best" surrendered so fast, I thought France was playing. No surprise. We make facebook post and you cry about stolen election.
Now, the Suburban Dwellers is all that is left. Ah, Americans and their suburbs.Always fleeing now...always afraid. You think your cardboard gate and 10 dollar an hour security guard will protect you? You see stranger you lock doors and hide under bed. Pray a neighbor ordered a pizza.
Suburb in Russia is banishment to Siberia. Suburb in America is American dream. In debt to eyeballs and garage sales to get rid of old crap just so you can buy new crap. Your dream is nightmare.
Can you Cul-De-Sac Up and take the title? I say nyet.
You will lose.
Wow Mayor. Just wow. Has the overindulgence finally caused the diabeetus to consume you? Because you are definitely delusional.
Here I was ready to make a friendly donut wager, but I can now see that you don't need any more sugar.
The only sugar you need is from Mrs. Mayor to kiss away the pain from the beatdown you have coming.
No it's not FAKE NEWS.....your delusions of grandeur come to an end on Sunday.
Cinottis or Good Dough? Loser buys.
Sooo some high-fallutin' globalist finan-seer won our fantasy football league, my work mainframe is shut down because of this clearly overblown holiday, and someone who is obviously going through a reeeallly tense family gathering passive-aggressively decided to relieve his tension by comandeering a message board with a totally random and unrelated "discussion". Man, fuck this day!
All kidding aside, congrats to SMM on his FF title. I AM NOT WORTHY I AM NOT WORTHY (to have potentially faced you in the final) ;D
Is there a waitlist to join this fantasy league? Asking for a friend.
Happy Krimma!

Well done Mayor. I have to commend you on your last roster moves that definitely put the nail in the coffin. Congratulations.
Let's coordinate next week on payment. I'll be back in the 904 on 1/1.

There are many important anniversaries in football this year. The NFL turns 100. The Jaguars enter season 25, but there is only one anniversary that matters. The Fantasy Football league Formerly Known as Metrojacksonville Junkies has made it to year 10. It is hard to believe that when I took on this roll of commissioner 10 years ago that this league would still be going today. Now as we all can agree, my efforts to run this league have distracted me from winning my rightful championship, but I accept that sacrifice to have my name ascend among the great commissioners: Rozelle, Tagliabue, Goodell... So much of this leagues success can be and should be attributed to my greatness.
I have renewed the league and will be sending invites to previous year players. I will give everyone a week or so to claim their team before I start harassing them (Read Lake). If anyone bails out I will find replacements. Any suggestions for rule changes need to be made now. If anyone has draft date suggestions throw them out there. I think we should try to get together to draft for our 10th year. Maybe at the new sports bar/brewery Strings.
Draft Order is as follows.
(https://lucasfilehosting.files.wordpress.com/2019/07/draft-order-2019-1.png)
Just to reiterate draft order is based on final year finishing. Top 6 picks are decided by the finish in the consolation bracket. Bottom 6 picks is the reverse order of championship bracket.
Keeper rules are the same. You get one keeper at the round they were drafted the previous year, by you or someone else. Undrafted players who you picked up are assigned a round 14 value. If a player is kept for a second year, their round value is determined by Yahoo ADP closer to the draft.
If you know you are not coming back this year please let me know.
Team Stud needs to play again. He can load up with all Miami Dolphins, this way we can all pick good players that have a bye the week we all play him and still win.
Thanks for the trophy graphic, SMM. I'll always have 2015...
I'm in! Actual NFL life got in the way of my draft well last year. I'll be back this season.
Hey, have the invites gone out? I've been watching and I haven't seen anything come through. I logged in and can't see anything either....
Update: I think I stumbled on the issue. Lucas, there is a very old email address associated with my team. I can't see to change it (Commissioner thing?). PM me if need be
Can you resend the invite.
Gotta make sure I get a solid start so I can lay down when the playoffs get here.
I am still waiting for the following people to accept their invites
NRW, Steve, Wacca Paltka, and of course Lakelander
NRW and Steve - I resent your invites. Steve yours was a Fanatics email so I assume that doesn't work anymore. The ones I resent to the two of you was to a Yahoo domain. PM me an updated email address if you need it sent somewhere else.
We still need to settle on a draft date, time, and possible meetup.
That worked-accepted!
I'm back in!
Sorry for the delay. Will accept later on today. I live in Virginia so I won't make the meetup, sadly
Got it.
Prepare yourselves for 14 weeks of being absolutely dominated!
I tried to accept the invitation and got a notification that it had expired. Could you please re-send to the same e-mail address? I apologize for the inconvenience.
It has been resent.
Thank you
Lucas, I've tried to follow the link several times and keep getting errors from both my phone and from my computer. I'm not sure what the issue is. I am sorry to be such an inconvenience here.
Please try sending it to my Yahoo address, vivatracor@yahoo.com - if that doesn't work, thoroughly understand if you proceed without me.
I will start the Keeper game by reserving Justin Tucker

I do need keepers from everyone. I would like to have them by the 30th.
I will be keeping James Conner.
No keeper for me. I like the extra challenge of having to get all new guys each year.
(plus my team last year sucked).
Tentative on Draft attendance in person...keep you posted.
I was able to get in. Thanks for your patience. No keeper for me.
Team Ebony Stud really sucked last year. With one exception, all players reported to 1 Stud Central headquarters to find their belongings in a pile on fire outside the premises and their access privilege permanently revoked. That one guy who was allowed to remain carries the me first attitude that head coach Cecil the Diesel Collins demands. Thus, Zeke Elliott has been selected as our keeper and team leader. For more information, contact our public relations specialist Mercury Morris.
Good ol' Patrick Mahomes. i will keep him...and love him and pet him and squeeze him and call him George!

Wow. We are going 'Of Mice and Men' humor now? The class of this league just went way up.
I will be going with Chubb (11th)as my keeper.
Let me bring 'class of this league' back down to where it needs to be...

maybe so - but locking in the best kicker with an 8th round pick seems entirely reasonable
Draft is set for next Tuesday (9/3) at 7PM. For those who want to meet up, I am suggesting Southern Grounds again.
Here is the latest with keepers. I need to get keepers from several people still.
(https://lucasfilehosting.files.wordpress.com/2019/08/keepers-8-27-19.jpg)
Please set DeShaun Watson as my keeper.
Do to the hurricane I don't think anyone will be meeting for the draft. I plan to keep it scheduled for Tuesday evening. Obviously if you don't have internet and or power drafting may be difficult or you just may have more important things than fantasy football to deal with. Either way, auto drafting may be popular this year. It may be wise to go in and adjust your que if you want to safeguard how the auto-draft would go.
I will update keepers and draft position tomorrow. If you don't have a keeper into me before mid-day tomorrow, I am not guaranteeing you will get one.
Be safe everyone.
Draft order and keepers are set. Any keeper changes or selections are not guaranteed to happen prior to the draft at this point.

Due to various scheduling issues I am forced to partake in 3 active online drafts tonight including this one so if I'm a little slow with some of my picks, well...
You're not alone. I have a couple tonight myself.
Damn... I completely forgot about this today.
I guess my forgetfulness pays off since I was given SMM's keeper.
Not sure how you wanna work this one out, but I'm open for suggestions.
i already fixed it. I took him off your roster and took guice off my roster and gave him to you. We can talk if you want to figure something more out.

No man, keep Guice. If you had grabbed after 11... then I'd consider it, but I'm not taking a guy you picked up 4 rounds earlier.
Put Guice back on your roster and fill my spot with Marquise Lee. I'll deal with RB depth in trade for FA.
I get what you are saying but Guice is a fair deal at that point. If Chubb wasn't on your roster as a keeper the system would have drafted you another RB before going after bench players. So you would have grabbed an RB in that range.
If you want to drop him for Lee have at it, but with my unilateral power as commissioner I say the placement of Guice stands.
Sooo... who has Antonio Brown? ;D
Come on Brown. I already have one suspended knucklehead. Get it together dude!

Why are you complaining - thought this was the team philosophy for Ebony Stud?
Well I need them to first be able to get on the field and prove their value. Then they can act a fool and it won't matter. But getting kicked off the team before week one is a new one.

173 and lose!? I must have set a league record so at least I have that going for me.
That seriously may be the best fantasy performance I've ever seen from a losing team. I feel for you; literally no weak spots in the entire lineup.
Lol what a horrible week. I'm actually surprised I lost by less than a point. Here's to hoping for a stat correction by November 14th!
808s and heartbreaks!

I'll be ready for the playoffs! A market correction is coming.
yeah stupid Jack B. More decided to start Matt Ryan over Jameis Winston - otherwise, Ebony Stud would have been sweating it out for a playoff spot this week
Lol sounds like a personal problem. Enjoy being eliminated by a team who's top pick went completely off the rails right at the start of the season.

Why does this remind me of your older takes about how brilliant the Jaguars front office has been?
Considering I have crushed you twice this year( bulldozer lose a tread?), I am personally rooting for you as facing you in the final would be like having a bye.
As the first defending champ to even make the playoffs in years, it looks like my toughest match up will be the first round. As long as I win this week, looks like a cakewalk to a repeat.
I don't recall a recent Jags Front Office take but I had a heavy bye week the last time we matched up. Market correction is coming!

First Wilson comes up small and now Jeffrey carted off. Bulldozer is in a ditch.
Well damn, I certainly didn't expect this!
This has been a great fantasy football season this year and kudos to all competitors, but let's be honest - This is the match-up we've been all wanting to see all year. Fitting that it all comes down to this.
So my team is a little banged up, but watch your neck-o Gordon Gecko! I'm making my adjustments and pulling all the stops for my first Metro Jacksonville FF crown.
He's not on my team but you gotta tip your hat to TBB QB Jameis Winston: fist QB in NFL History with back to back 450 yd passing games.
he's on mine - but it still didn't get me into the playoffs

Congratulations SMM.
Ah, the holidays! That special time of the year gathering with seldom-seen loved ones, and after another frustrating round of conversations ending in "Don't you dare roll your eyes and finger air quote liberal media bias to my face again!" dreaming of the day you can go back and put One America News Network back on the big screen without getting quizzical stares from family members, you go back to the safety of your bedroom pull out the laptop and promptly hijack the discussion board of The Jaxson - much like what fantasy football does this time of year. So kudos to all competitors in the MetroJax league for another year of a much needed competitive entertaining diversion.
And of course congratulations to San Marco Matt on his well earned championship. Truly an honor going head to head against you. To continue my post-Festivus grievances I was in the finals or semi-finals of 3 FF leagues this year for some serious money/bragging rights and lost them all. I'm just grateful I was able to put up enough of a fight so that SMM wasn't able to go full S&M&M on me.
Peace! 8)
Congrats! I look forward to ending your reign in 2020!

Funny the things we forget about during all of this. Even though this league is strictly for fun, I wouldn't mind if the league was shelved for the year. Having no pre-season, limited training camps, some teams without any home crowd advantages the entire year, and the likely scenario of games suddenly postponed and possibly cancelled, affecting things my main concern is I have not seen any clear contingencies on how to go forward if there were to be serious game disruptions. I don't mind the NFL went full steam ahead with their regular season but there are just too many unknown variables that would make this year a very uneven playing field.
And don't worry about your streak, Matt. I'm sure we'll keep it warm for you for next season, but if you insist on a league this year allow me to present you in advance your 3-pete crown ;D:

I would actually vote on the league skipping the year as I have zero interest in football.
I would second that.
I just mailed it in on 2 drafts in my annual money leagues. I didn't even realize one was drafting until I got a text about half way through and the other I just let Yahoo pick for me.
It doesn't feel like football season this year.
Since we're all die-hard football followers this year, lets go all out and have a full auction dynasty draft featuring a full slate of individual defensive players! And lets have it tomorrow night! It will be confusing, it will infuriate, it will make you cry, and it will go on all night but we'll find out who the real lovers of the game are! ;D
Hey there. So is this a thing for '21?
