Fantasy football

[thelakelander]

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.

[Steve]

Janikowski and the Kicker and the Raiders defense?

[thelakelander]

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....

I'm sorry, but I have no choice but to select a guy that has broken the ankles of Revis...

Outran the entire Falcons defense....

And was considerate enough to leave a piece of himself here in Jax....

The best part is that he's got a 1st round ADP, yet for my purposes he'll be

Andre Ellington is staying with The Best in the West for another shot at the playoffs this 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?

[Lucasjj]

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.

Just don't forget to set your autodraft....

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.

[Lucasjj]

After last nights arrest, Bell must have shot up Lake's draft board.

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. 

[thelakelander]

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.

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.



I look forward to the perfect year this season where I finish one spot better than last year while NWR finishes 8 spots worse.

I think a trophy named after me is a capital idea.

[Lucasjj]

Please don't forget, I need your keepers by tomorrow.

[thelakelander]

Team Stud will go with choir boy Nick Foles as their keeper.
