I can probably join if you need extra people. In 2 leagues right now (a different Era league and a IRL league) so I should have room for another one in me.

Shit, I didn't realize the due date was tonight.

Unfortunately I'm not going to have the money until Friday, so you should drop me. Apologies to you and to Ubertag, who was kind enough to invite me. It was kind of a last minute thing, and I did a poor job with my finances this month.
I mean if it's a case of PAY RIGHT NOW I can cover this, if you would be able to pay me back on Friday? Not sure if that's kosher but I'd hate for someone actively interested to miss out because of timing issues.

cloudy UberTag please advise

I can't see why Cloudy would have an issue with someone fronting Remington's dues for him.
That said, I would follow up with Jack directly before making that commitment on his behalf.
This should still be a viable option even when/if Jack Remington is bounced from the league ownership roster.

I know you want to keep it members of the board, but my brother and I lost the same main league this year and I know he's looking for one. I could get him to sign up for ERA. If you would rather fill spots than reduce the league size, he is an option that will take the league seriously. Just thought I'd offer.
The Dinner Out precedent kind of opens things up in this regard. I'm always a backer of preferring to see folks active and engaged in the community in the league to keep this thread alive with excitement and trash talk but I would also prefer to keep the league at its 16-team threshold (which we've maintained for most of its history). I certainly don't see any reason to deter him from joining the league if he's both a committed fantasy baller and would be willing to join up to Resetera on top of that.

Hey, Corran Horn! I've added you to the waiting list and sent a league invite your way via PM. Just be mindful of the Sunday evening draft time (make sure it doesn't conflict with any of your other leagues) and that we're now in a time crunch for entry dues.

Money is really tight due to an unforeseen expense that came up this week, actually just a couple days ago. Since it looks like there's at least one person who would be able to take my spot, I'm going to drop and let someone else take it.

Many apologies for this. I would never bail on a league under normal circumstances. Thankfully, getting the 16th member doesn't look like it'll be a problem for you guys.

Just did my first mock draft. My team was lit. Pretty much confirms I'm going to win again this year ;)

You don't need to pay now or have someone front you. I just needed to hear from you if you want in.

PS: We need 1 more at this point. 2 more if I remove Ember's reservation. Did he post and I missed it?

I planned on making my payment this weekend before the draft and saw I was deleted? I've posted a few times on the league board just not here yet.

I guess my brother joined a work league so he won't do this one if it came to that. Hopefully someone else from here will join up.

Has the draft order been decided yet? Not to familiar with the yahoo setup anymore so not sure if I see it there and Im just blind.

Anyone have any idea if you can be in two drafts on Yahoo at the same time? I volunteered for another league on here where the draft starts at 8 PM EST tomorrow, vs ours that starts at 10:30 EST. I'm sure there will be at least a couple rounds of overlap. This one will take precedence since it's paid and will be first rounds vs end rounds, but was hoping I would be able to also complete the other one.

One on your desktop/laptop and the other on your phone?

Yeah that's probably what I'll have to end up doing. Not ideal but oh well. I mostly was worried that since both teams are under the same account that it would only allow me to be in one draft room at a time. Hopefully that's not the case. But if I end up autodrafting the 15th and 16th in a 12 teamer that's not the end of the world anyway.

Best of luck to everyone in tonight's draft! Hope all of you are able to make it... auto-draft teams aren't easy to salvage in a 16-team format.

Very happy with my team, actually shocked I won the "best draft" award from Yahoo. It's meaningless, but never got one or those before.

I'm guessing Yahoo hasn't predicted Jeffrey being on Pup for the first 6 weeks. Or that Reed has chronic toe issues. Or that McCoy is about to fall off a cliff on the worse offense in the NFL. Elliot and Rodgers are solid though :)

I wish I could turn off the draft review emails, honestly. It's just razzing you for not following the Yahoo consensus order.

I made that...5 years ago maybe? Lol

Well anyway. Good draft. I think I bet too much on QB again though...

I wouldn't mind the gambit so much if Mahomes had a cake early schedule that would have allowed you to sell high on him if he blasted out of the gates.
Unfortunately he's got a murderer's row of defenses lined up in the first half of the season. Only the 49ers and Cincy matchups at Arrowhead appear tasty at an immediate glance.

Yeah but last season I had a point where I had to roll out Bortles? Or worse. So why not roll out the new starters and whomever sticks is the guy?

I would have loved to get a top 5 guy but not as early as you have to in a WR-thirsty league.

Given who was available, I likely would have passed on both Jimmy G and Mahomes for Luck... who pretty much is a Top 5 guy provided he's fully recovered (and thus far he appears to be). Frankly, surprised he slipped to the 8th round... Dinner Out will have some likely trade leverage given that he also owns Brees.

Could everyone post what your team name on Yahoo is? Or someone knowledgeable write up a list? Would be helpful for a noob like me to be able to match the teams with who's posting on here.

I'm Knibb High Football, content with my draft. Bench WRs are a little sketchy, but if Luck is back I think Mack and Grant should be serviceable. Definitely could be a mistake passing on Luck for Rivers, but I think the weapons around Rivers are particularly strong this year, if their defense can keep them on the field I think most Chargers are gonna have a great year.

Yahoo gave me an A for my draft. Of course, that means I'll most likely be in the bottom 4 at the end of the year.
