I'm in favor of .5 PPFD (article) but as usual, not against 0.5 PPR either

I think the one year we are going to have a showdown over superflex or auction though 🤣 16 team without superflex, man...we are crazy

Woof, 13. Still, should be exciting. This season is definitely going to be a shakeup year. Think we're gonna see some declines and some big breakouts.

Ok I'll change it back if no one feels strongly about me doing that. If they do, it's majority rules as always

I don't have an objection for 1/2 point per first down but I'd like to see some major sites adopt it into their ranking projections before we adopt it as a format. At least 1/2-point PPR is a pretty common format that you can tailor FantasyPros and the like around without much issue.

Ouch 15th pick.

Not a fan of .5 ppfd as like stated already, it's kinda hard to find info about it on websites and analysts. .5 ppr is fine.

I'm fine Sunday for the draft but if anyway to push it up an hour or two works better for me as I have another draft an hour later from our start time, if we can't no worries I can draft in two leagues as it's different websites.

TEAMS w/ LEAGUE DUES STILL OUTSTANDING

Ember Island Players (GCQ)
Knibb High Football (grang)
Mild Concussions (SaveWeyard)
NYR (NYR)

Cyclone jumped the gun on both compbros and Fox318 when we opened things up to the wait-listers on Monday. But they'll have another crack at things before anyone else if another spot opens up.
Dropped NYR and Mild Concussions cos I didn't hear from them. AllThingsPurple has claimed one of the spots.

This late in the game, let's just do first come, first serve with the waitlisters
Strange, NYR said he was in, in this thread on Aug 10th.
I wasn't pmed about payment plans as requested and the draft is in a week
Ugh. My bad. I did want back in but don't visit this forum that much anymore. Last time I was here was to post on the season 10 thread and then to post in this thread. Woud love to be on the waiting list for next year.

Well, that was a mess. Good thing we have 3 months to salvage our rust bucket teams into something playoff respectable.
Remember to work the wire regularly, don't blow all of your FAAB budget in Week 1... and never accept Minx's first trade offer.

But always accept my 2nd offer. If I don't make a trade it's not fantasy football.

I would like to thank whoever took Zeke. Still a headache.

And the first FAAB acquisition winner of the season is Tecmo Allstars.
Nabbing Royce Freeman with a bid of $12.

And here I was second-guessing my $6 bid as being too high.

Freeman will be competing with Breida for weekly bench points because I can't envision ever taking Cook or Gurley out of the starting lineup so long as either player is healthy. That said, given the durability question marks surrounding both those guys I can kind of understand the extra caution.

Yeah maybe I over paid but I wasnt feeling great about my rb depth and was kind of shocked he got dropped tbh.

He wont start unless injuries as you say but he might gain trade potential of he steps up this year.

Looks like Complex Audibles tried to get him back for $0.

Kinda surprised you guys pulled off waivers at all. Yahoo is totally screwed right now server wise...

I didn't question it too much. We have shallow benches and there are a lot of injury question marks still floating around out there.

Lots of "how did this person get dropped" scenarios will play out over the season and bidding on each and every one of them even when an owner doesn't have a need to fill just to keep them away from someone else will drain a season-long FAAB budget mighty quick.

That said, I also don't believe that AllThingsPurple overpaid for him. $12 is probably the right price given Freeman's potential in his sophomore campaign. And I say that as someone who owned him last year and was largely underwhelmed by his fantasy contribution.

Aaron Jones looks terrible
I wouldn't read too much into this. He's playing the Bears and the Pack have only given him 4 touches/targets. I'd be more concerned by the fact that Jamaal Williams has had an equal number of touches/targets than Aaron's lack of productivity with the ones he's gotten. That's not a trend that grang wants to see develop in the long-term.

That... and I don't want the fantasy gods to gift Minx a Week 1 win to start the season.
The 2-time defending champ should have to work for these, damn it!

Bears have a shaky QB but play as if he's really good. GB was very beatable if Bears were a bit more conservative

Best fantasy play based on performance compared to projection after Game 1 of the NFL season... the Green Bay Packers defense.

Tonight was a wash for everyone else outside of Robinson (who I'm, of course, facing) and Graham.

I like the amount of love, Marquez Valdes-Scantling got from #12. MVS going to have a big year if he can remain healthy.

I'm never playing Matt Nagy at running back again.

Bears diehard here. Montgomery will get more touches than this game as Nagy had some terrible play calling but this was always going to be RBBC. Mike Davis is a good RB and will see his touches every week and there is Cohen as well. Right now I think they trust Davis more to run the correct routes and he has good hands and vision. Montgomery has better tackle breaking ability but I don't invision too many games where he gets 15 touches.

I wouldn't read too much into this. He's playing the Bears and the Pack have only given him 4 touches/targets. I'd be more concerned by the fact that Jamaal Williams has had an equal number of touches/targets than Aaron's lack of productivity with the ones he's gotten.

Stranger things have happened but his top 2 picks underperformed so much I think this one should be a pretty easy W.
