the pinjockey 0 Report post Posted August 21, 2008 Marvin is a no go for that Saturday time slot. So there is a second objection. If anyone else has a problem with the Saturday time/day, I'll set the draft back to Tues the 26th at 9pm and whoever can't make it will just have to pre-rank.

Kinetic 0 Report post Posted August 21, 2008 I work nights all but two days a week, so it's likely that I'll have to pre-rank and let the thing draft for me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Vitamin X Report post Posted August 27, 2008 So is this thing on for tonight? I can't make it home right at 6 (and no, I'm not dipping out of work early just to make it on time to a FF draft), but I can make it maybe an hour later or so. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Special K 0 Report post Posted August 28, 2008 So, I rejoined my old 12-man league last weekend. Was forced into keeping Joseph Addai, RB Ind Brandon Jacobs, RB, NYG Edgerrin James, RB Arz Donovan McNabb, QB, Phi Not awful, but not great. I think I had a really good draft, though. Keep in mind pretty much every elite player was kept. So my first round is pretty much a 5th round. Michael Turner, RB Atl Hines Ward, Wr, Pit Rudi Johnson, RB Cin Derrick Mason, WR Bal Chris Chambers, WR SD Vernon Davis, TE SF Jon Kitna, QB Det Jax Def Bobby Engram, WR Sea (gotta pick a home boy) Josh Brown, K Stl Vincent Jackson, WR SD LJ Smith, TE Phi Very good depth at RB for a 12 man league (Rudi Johnson as your 5th RB is pretty sick) Very, very glad I got Michael Turner. WRs aren't great (and boy they're OLD) , but my plan is to hopefully have 3 very good running backs, and trade one for an elite WR. Addai is great. Any recommendations on start/bench? Right now I'm starting Turner (w/ Addai of course). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Special K 0 Report post Posted August 28, 2008 1 QB 2 RB 2 WR 1 TE 1 K 1 Def Rushing: 6 per TD, 1 per 10 yds. Receiving: 6 per TD, 1 per 15 yds, 1 per 5 rec. passing: 4 per TD, 1 for every 20 yds past 200. -2 for lost fumbles, interceptions. Kickers: 3 per FG, 6 from 50+, 1 per extra pt. Def 1 for sack, 2 for safety or turnover. 6 for TD. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HarleyQuinn 0 Report post Posted August 29, 2008 The scoring system is heavily weighted towards the QB on yards and the RB overall (WR are virtually useless). I'd play it match up by match up with McNabb and Kitna. I'd also start Addai and Jacobs along with Hines Ward and Chambers (both should be better options at getting 5+ catches a week). Toss up between VD and LJ Smith. Just go with your gut there. Remember: It's easier to overthink an option rather than going with your gut. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MFer 0 Report post Posted August 29, 2008 Saturday's starting to look pretty bad for me right now. I'm going to Michigan game at 3:30 and I was planning on going to a friend's b-day party later that night. Looks like pre-rank time for me. EDIT: Looks like I'm gonna make it anyways, so never mind.

Kinetic 0 Report post Posted September 5, 2008 My fantasy draft was bungled horribly, but I've since gone to great lengths to craft the sort of winning roster that's led me to dozens of Super Bowl wins and countless undefeated seasons in Madden. Here's to hoping for a breakout season for Jay Cutler. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Edwin MacPhisto 0 Report post Posted September 5, 2008 I did one for the first time ever. I guess my team's pretty good. I think I lucked out this first week since my opponent decided to start Amani Toomer instead of Larry Fitzgerald for some unknown, possibly drug-related reason. We also definitely had a girl who just tried to draft all the Redskins. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Spaceman Spiff 0 Report post Posted September 5, 2008 I'm not that excited about my team this year. I ended up drafting 8th out of 10 (serpentine, though), so I missed out on the top stud RB's. I'm hoping for the best, but I think I'm lacking the firepower to go all the way. Last year I had the #1, and ended up w/ the best record in the reg. season (wins $ in our league), as well as overall champ, despite being without my top 2 WR's almost all year (Andre Johnson w/ an injury, Steve Smith with suckitude).

Kinetic 0 Report post Posted September 5, 2008 Yeah, this is my first attempt at this, also. I'm up against sideburnious in week one. I wish that I could say with any sort of confidence that I'm going to crush him and make orphans of his children, but I'm still sort of feeling my way through this fantasy football process.

HarleyQuinn 0 Report post Posted September 9, 2008 That's what I get for not following my own go with your gut advice. I debated b/w Ricky Williams and Chris Johnson and stuck with Ricky despite the nagging feeling that I should start CJ. I promptly lost week 1 when CJ would've been an easy win, bah.

jimmy no nose 0 Report post Posted September 16, 2008 I'm going to throw out a question for week 3 in here. Not quite sure how it happened, but in a 10 team league I loaded up at WR and landed Plaxico Burress, Anquan Boldin, and TJ Houshmanzadeh. Based on the first 2 weeks Plax and Boldin obviously start at the 2 WR spots, and I don't really have a 3rd RB to put in a WR/RB spot. So the question comes down to Housh against the Giants vs. Santana Moss against the Cardinals. Moss was a TD better than Housh week 1 and went nuts week 2. Based on performance thus far I lean towards Moss, but I'd really hate to see Housh finally get going on my bench. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Zetterberg is God 0 Report post Posted September 22, 2008 I don't know how this makes sense. I had Seattle's defense playing in both my leagues this week. In one they were credited with 9.00 points and the other they got 11.83. That extra 2.83 would give me a win in the league that I got 9.00 points. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kinetic 0 Report post Posted September 22, 2008 3-0! Despite New England's defense getting gashed repeatedly by a fucking college play and netting all of -4 fantasy points, I managed to win by 20 over whoever Sticky Stahl Juice is. Jerramy Stevens and Pierre Thomas put me over the top. Can we get a roll call for the TSM league? It makes it somewhat less satisfying not knowing which poster I'm embarrassing.

Mik 0 Report post Posted September 24, 2008 Who would you guys start this upcoming week as your flex player... Thomas Jones or Reshard Mendenhall? I'm leaning towards Mendenhall.
