Is there any word on whether or not Draftkings is doing its Week 1 Bilion Dollar ($144 Million after taxes) perfect lineup again this year?

Also I stacked my lineup with rookie backs last year since I loved the draft class but I don't think I'll be able to do the same this year unless Guice takes off for the Redskins or Hynes for the Colts. Barkley likely has too high of a draft position and the Georgia backs are on the Pats and Browns which are typically fantasy no-go's.

I went to my 4th championship game last year only to lose because Todd Gurley put up 45 fucking points for him...

I'm 1-4 all time in fantasy football championships. (0-4 in my money league, 1-0 in sleeperbot leagues)

Anyways I got the 9th pick in a 10 person league and I'm drafting this Sunday.

Hoping for a Melvin Gordon/Dalvin Cook stack.

Damn, I friend of mine is also 0-4 in our league of record, we tease him all the time.

What platform you're drafting on, cause Gordon's ADP is all over the place right now, you might be able to get him there.

We do Yahoo for the league but everyone is welcome to use whatever source they want since we do a live in person draft at someone's house. It's always been this way, that or we go to BDubs lol. So yeah Melvin's ADP might be different everywhere, really depends how my friends value the talent this year.

I'm drafting 9 in my 14 team that was 10 last year. Turns out damn near every resource talks about player draft spots for a 10 or 12 so I'm getting really thrown off lol.

Todd Gurley fucked me over twice.

Drafted him in 2016 only for him to have a mediocre season. Then last year I had a chance to draft him but passed him up an then he goes beast mode.

FUCK HIM

But I would draft him this year if given the chance. LMAO

Ah shit I only just found this thread

Came back from 1-5 to playoffs. And now I got a taste for this. If your league needs a guy I am that man.

looks like my work league had a few people drop out so it's now a 8 man which I kind of don't like since everyone will for the most part have pretty much stacked teams

that and i've been doing mock drafts for 10 mans (we had a 10 last year)

oh well

Change the rosters a little, get 2 QBS, add another WR or a Flex, maybe both.

I wish, but it's not worth the effort. Everyone is much older than I am and they don't want to change the rules. I tried convincing them to change to 0.5 ppr (we do standard) and no dice

at least I won't have to work for 2-3 hours since it'll be an offline draft during work hours

my work league went back up to 10 (commissioner contacted our office out of state and asked if anyone wanted to join and was able to find 2 people) which is good because I tried doing 8 team mocks and I didn't like how some teams turned out (some were super stacked compared to others)

I am 1-1 in the Finals. I lost because Gurley went off in the title game.

We do random order for draft positions and I got third. I'll probably be looking at DJ, Bell, Brown in a PPR league.

Fantasy football for dumbasses:

- 0.5 PPR
- Auction draft
- Keepers/Dynasty
- Championship in week 16
- Salary cap
- 20 man bench
- IDP


Fantasy football for geniuses:

- No PPR
- Regular draft (not even snake)
- Waiver order is determined by who has the best record. If you wanted that backup running back you should've won more fucko
- 8 teams
- You only get quarterbacks
- Championship during the superbowl week, we only reward winners here bud

I'm at the third pick on the first round and debating taking Antonio Brown over Zeke and Saquon, I like them both over varying degrees but there are also doubts and Brown is obviously as safe as they come. The downside is having someone like Mixon or McKinnon as my RB1, which is rough.

Would be down to join a 12-14 team .5 ppr league with like $25-50 buy in if there's anything like that being organized on here.

What's the scoring? I personally would go Zeke there.

It's standard, a 12-man. I had some doubts about Zeke and who else in on the team, and if this will mean increased coverage for him, but maybe these concerns are being overblown?

You go Zeke. He's safe as they come barring injury. He has one of the best Olines in the league.

Much rather have Zeke and AJ Green then Mixon and Brown.

Any non-cash leagues open for three people? We dropped out of the previous league but the owner was quite the douche (dummie wanted a cash league and no live draft, the fuck?). Used Yahoo previously.

Now that I know my draft position, I'm reconsidering of having Christian McCaffrey as my keeper to Julio Jones since I have the 2nd pick and 3rd pick (via trade last year for AJ Green)

full PPR?

you got very little pass catching on your RBs, that would worry me. But overall I like your starters.

I got the 3rd pick in my PPR league this year, finally breaking the streak of 10-11th picks

Who should I be scooping, looks like it's either David Johnson or Antonio Brown coming my way

Yah my heart wants to grab AB just for consistency but I think DJ's falling to me

If it's Gurley or Bell though that's a no brainer, I just wonder if I can scoop McKinnon or Thielen late R2

I'm down to join a league here. I used to run one at the old site, the NeoGAF Economy League. It was pretty fun. We had divisions: the Christina Hendricks division, the My Little Pony division, and the Richard Dawkins division. I think UberTag won it one year. It only lasted like 2 seasons before my account at that time got banned.
