Fantasy Football

[OMG its LFG]

Mods, please dont merge this thread with the NFL thread yet, since I dont think anyone reads it anymore...I found it on page 9 a few days ago.

Hey everyone, its football season soon, and I was wondering if anyone wanted to do fantasy football. We could start a league for fun.

PM or post here if you are interested!

Okay, so far, the tentative list is:

Mr. Cluck
SpidermanHouston
Vonnegut
LostforGood
I'm Really Lost
TheTempest
Smirnoff_Ice

[Mr. Cluck]

Possibly.

[vonnegut]

Not sure, but I'm listening :D

[OMG its LFG]

I think it would be fun. We can set up a free league on Yahoo or Espn or something...have a live draft...i have run them before...

come on guys!

[Mr. Cluck]

Not to be picky, but I only do yahoo.

[vonnegut]

If it's free, I can be persuaded...


ETA: I'm Yahoo, too

[SpidermanHouston]

l will play if there's at least 8 people playing. I prefer Yahoo also. And I don't care about the live draft. That takes too much time and everyone would have to be available during the live draft so I would just prefer an auto-draft.

[OMG its LFG]

i actually like yahoo better too, but i was trying to be flexible. On yahoo, if people dont show up for live draft the comp picks for you, but i dont care. Auto draft is just as good. If we get the four people here so far, me, von, spider and cluck, we might be able to get six more, and have ten.

[vonnegut]

Hell, count me in.

Just dont' depend on me.

I can't even show up on time to the Lost:Survivor game, so....

[Smirnoff_Ice]

Fantasty Football's fun. I'll likely do it.

[TheTempest]

I love Football... and I love Fantasies --

I'm in!

[OMG its LFG]

we have six...if we could get a 10 or 12 person league it would be nice.

bumping....

[I'm Really Lost]

Hey LFG! I'll try it out. I'm in.

[OMG its LFG]

we now have 7!

[I'm Really Lost]

Are you going for ten?

[OMG its LFG]

Ten or 12...as many as we can get...16 and 20 are too much though, you end up with crappy players

i forgot how much I love football season

[vonnegut]

When would this begin?

[OMG its LFG]

when the football season starts officially, but we would pick teams whenever....then sit around and wait.

[OMG its LFG]

von, do you know what fantasy football is?

[vonnegut]

Kind of.

You pick players, and every week you "play" some of them and if they do things they get points added or taken away, or something like that.

A bunch of the guys at work play it and talk about it constantly. But I've never done it.

[SpidermanHouston]

You should just go ahead and create the league on Yahoo and just let people join till you have around 10.

[OMG its LFG]

Okay, ill post it here...

[OMG its LFG]

do we want any special scoring or anything?

[OMG its LFG]

Password: lostforgood

ANyone who wants in...join up.

[vonnegut]

*off to Yahoo*

I've never done this before and don't know what I'm doing, but what the hell.

If it'll make LFG happy, I'm in :D

[vonnegut]

Okay, I signed up.

I'm going to have to go and read all the stuff to figure out how the hell this works, but I'm too lazy right now.

[SpidermanHouston]

do we want any special scoring or anything?

When I play, I also have two extra starting positions that are RB/WR and WR/TE or something like that. Can you add those two positions and set the bench players to the maximum capacity? I like to have a deep bench. 6 bench players doesn't seem like enough especially when the bye weeks come along. I think the scoring is all right.

[I'm Really Lost]

Hey, where do i go to sign up?

ETA- nevermind i got it!

[I Like Freckles]

Bring it. I'm in.

[SpidermanHouston]

Yep, time to put David Carr on top of my Pre-Draft Player Rankings. My team is gonna rule.

[marshall2u]

I signed up. I've never done this before, but I'm a huge football fan, and willing to learn.

:Cheers:

[I Like Freckles]

If Spidey is going to draft a QB in round one, can we play for money? :p

Maybe I'll just draft a bunch of Texans and then trade them to Spidey for his whole team in week 2.

[BubbleBoy13]

Never done fantasy Football before, but yeah ill sign up... i have Yahoo.

[OMG its LFG]

If anyone needs help, or needs to know how to play, feel free to PM me and i can explain the rules.

[OMG its LFG]

For people who have joined, do oyu want defensive playerS?

[SpidermanHouston]

Yeah, defensive players are cool. It can make a difference in a game even though they don't get too many fantasy points. I don't mind. This way I could draft Mario Williams.

[OMG its LFG]

does this mean you want the live draft now?

[SpidermanHouston]

No, I can adjust my Pre-Draft Player Rankings and put Mario Williams high on my list. The auto-draft drafts your players based on your Pre-Draft Player Rankings and availability. It doesn't guarantee that I will get him.

[OMG its LFG]

But it does help. Okay I will add some defesive players, and let people look it over.

[OMG its LFG]

Come on guys, I need four more players!!!!

[OMG its LFG]

WE NEED 4 MORE PEOPLE.. COME ON JOIN THE FUN. ITS FREE AND EASY

[SpidermanHouston]

Everyone became scared to join and play when I announced my plans to have David Carr and Mario Williams on the same team. Maybe I'll put some scrub like Shaun Alexander high on my draft list to make things even.

[OMG its LFG]

LOL why dont we just give you the whole Houston team?

[soundthetoll]

I'm In!!!! I can't resist Fantasy Football, even if it is my 3rd team ;)

[SpidermanHouston]

LOL why dont we just give you the whole Houston team?


No, I want to be fair and let other people have great players like Dominick Davis, Andre Johnson, Eric Moulds and the Texans defense. Carr and Williams is more than enough.

BTW: This thread should never be merged with the NFL thread. Since some NFL fans don't really care about fantasy talk. It would be like combining the Lost Expierence forum with the Lost General Discussion forum.

[BubbleBoy13]

I just signed up, but how do i start creating my team? like i want Corey dillon for my RB, so how do i get him?

[SpidermanHouston]

I just signed up, but how do i start creating my team? like i want Corey dillon for my RB, so how do i get him?

We don't have players yet. Until we have 10 or 12 players and sometime next month, there will be an auto-draft in which the computer automatically selects players based on your predraft rankings and needs. If you really want Corey Dillon, you would have to go the Draft Central link on top of the page and adjust your pre-draft player rankings. In your rankings you can put him high on your list to have a better chance of your team drafting him.

[OMG its LFG]

Why would you want Corey Dillion? He might not even play that much, since the Pats have that lovely new man, Laurance Maroney... he might end up playing more...and why am I helping you?

[timbo910]

i'll join.

There are a lot of positions set up. You should eliminate a WR and probably one of the flex positions. With defensive players in there, our rosters are going to be huge.

[SpidermanHouston]

Why would you want Corey Dillion? He might not even play that much, since the Pats have that lovely new man, Laurance Maroney... he might end up playing more...and why am I helping you?
Yeah, I was going to ask the same question. Why are you helping him change his mind about Corey Dillon? I'm trying to help him put Corey on top of his draft list. If he wants him in the first round of the draft, let him take him.

[SpidermanHouston]

i'll join.

There are a lot of positions set up. You should eliminate a WR and probably one of the flex positions. With defensive players in there, our rosters are going to be huge.


Yeah, you could get rid of one of the WR positions. I would also prefer 3 defensive players instead of 4.

[OMG its LFG]

Did you accomplish helping him? Ill change the roster, then we can all look at it again.

[OMG its LFG]

If you want to join and cant find the login...here it is

[OMG its LFG]

Okay for defense do we want three D or one D, one DL, and one DB?


And I got rid of one WR.

[soundthetoll]

I would go DL, DB, D.

[OMG its LFG]

we need one more player....

[Son of Locke]

If Spidey is going to draft a QB in round one, can we play for money? :p

Maybe I'll just draft a bunch of Texans and then trade them to Spidey for his whole team in week 2.I'll take that action. How about Vince Young as his #2 pick?

I'm in.

[SpidermanHouston]

I'll take that action. How about Vince Young as his #2 pick?

I'm in.

No, I'm taking the Texans defense or Mario Williams with the second pick. Why would I need another QB when I have David Carr?

[OMG its LFG]

Sol did you sign up?

[timbo910]

We have 9 people. Are we shooting for 12 or 10 teams? Either way, we need at least one more person.

[CENSORED]

I'm in.....hehe...Ben Wallace...smart guy...

[OMG its LFG]

we have 10....does anyone else want in?

[marshall2u]

OK, I just picked my favorites.....now I just need to learn how the whole thing works....but look out everyone...I'm gonna kick butt! woohooo!:nanabobo:

[OMG its LFG]

Play salary cap! its the best ever

[Fancy Monkey]

Is this league still taking signups?

[SpidermanHouston]

Is this league still taking signups?

Yeah, I think we still need one more player to make it an even amount of teams.

[Fancy Monkey]

Sweet, I just signed up.

[I Like Freckles]

Someone do me a favor and PM me when the draft time is set. I haven't looked at the league page in weeks.

[OMG its LFG]

Come one guys we need one more person to have 12...sign up now!

[OMG its LFG]

COME ON ONE MORE ONE MORE ONE MORE

[CENSORED]

It's done! Let the draft begin!

[timbo910]

We got our players. I like my team. Cadillac Williams, Tiki Barber, and Reggie Bush starting for me.... I wish I had money in this league.

[LOST Prodigy of Knowledge]

I have a decent team.

Matt Hasselback
Marvin Harrison
Rod Smith
Edgirrin James
Willie Parker
Brian Westbrook

That's all I can remember from right now.

[SpidermanHouston]

Somehow David Carr didn't get drafted. I got some guy named Peyton Manning instead.

[LOST Prodigy of Knowledge]

How the hell did that happen?

pfffffft!

[timbo910]

Somehow David Carr didn't get drafted. I got some guy named Peyton Manning instead.

You should definitely drop him... hell, i'll trade you Lundy for him. Lundy is gonna start for your team, you know.

[SpidermanHouston]

You should definitely drop him... hell, i'll trade you Lundy for him. Lundy is gonna start for your team, you know.

I tried cutting him but he's on the can't cut list. Oh well, I guess I'm stuck with him. I hope he's good.

[CENSORED]

L.J.

I win...

[LOST Prodigy of Knowledge]

Too bad I missed you draft...

I just happened to be on vacation.

[CENSORED]

Too bad I missed you draft...

I just happened to be on vacation.

It was an auto draft....

I still win

[LOST Prodigy of Knowledge]

Auto drafts suck.

Who all is in the league?

[MRS. CENSORED]

Me.

[I Like Freckles]

Auto-drafts do suck.

But at least I didn't get stuck with Randy Moss with the third overall pick...



IMO, what actually sucks more than autodrafts is team defenses. Good lord could there be more of a crapshoot? Oh, right. That comes from using individual defensive players, too. Bleah. LOL.

In any event, you will all be pwned.

That is all.

[Fancy Monkey]

What's the deal with Yahoo's rankings of individual defensive players? Is there a rule I'm missing? I just went in and dropped all my no-names for people I've actually heard of.

BTW, if anyone wants to trade for Tom Brady, I'm anxious to unload him. As a Dolphins fan, I can't in good conscience keep him on my team. I'm looking for help at wideout.

[Son of Locke]

But at least I didn't get stuck with Randy Moss with the third overall pick...If you had gotten "stuck" with him, would you have traded him for Greg Jones*?

I can't wait for you to Pwn me, ILF. Don't forget to grab some D, though.

SoL


*out for the season. nice pickup :D

[I Like Freckles]

LOL. I've been in town for all of 3 days since a trip to Baja and I'm leaving for a 4-day Vegas trip in about 7 hours, so I'm merely trying to trim the autodraft detritus off my team in a mildly muddled mental state. Thanks for doing my player research for me, though. :p

Yeah, yahoo doesn't do a good job of ranking defensive players for autodraft. I also dropped all of mine and picked up better ones. But you don't have to use Yahoo's predraft rankings. You could have put them in the order you wanted them. I just didn't do that with defensive players. But I did change my top 50 players rankings. I did put Peyton Manning at #1 on my list since I knew everyone would draft a running back first since that's what Yahoo's preranking autodraft will draft first. I dropped most of my bench for other players also but overall it's not that much of an improvement since with 12 teams in the league, all the superstars are on everyone's starting lineup.

In a way, I don't like having Peyton Manning on my fantasy team either since the Texans play him twice and is in the same division so I really want him to fail. But the only way I will trade him is if someone gives me 3 quality offensive players for him.

[SpidermanHouston]

Auto-drafts do suck.

That is all.

I guess IRL put Randy Moss high in his list because Yahoo doesn't rank him that high. Marshall2u Panthers drafted almost all of the Carolina Panthers players. He's going to have a tough week when the Panthers have their bye week.

This is my first time in fatasy football, so I have a lot to learn. I am a big Panthers fan (first) and a Lions fan (second). I also am sentimental, so I picked for reasons other than raw numbers. But! Carolina does have a very solid team this year and I feel good about having a few of their players on my team. Like I said, I have not done this before, so I don't know how hard this will hit on the bye week. Yikes!

[LOST Prodigy of Knowledge]

I have done this for 3 years.

I just thought it was funny that you got most of the starting Carolina Panthers lineup. Carolina does have a very good team and I wouldn't be surprised to see them in the Super Bowl. But if Carolina happens to have a bad game then your whole fantasy team is going to have a bad game. And yes Carolina's bye week will be tough for you, you will have to do a lot of substituting that week. I would probably pick up a better backup QB right now for their bye week. I see you have Detriot's McCown as your backup. I think there are better QBs available right now as free agents.

[Son of Locke]

Thanks for doing my player research for me, though. :pI hear Priest Holmes may still be available, however. ;)

Generally, I try to pick people who play the Texans twice in the same year:nanabobo:

Same with players from the Vikings and Bears. Just think of the birthday parties Chester Taylor is going to have against the Lions and the Pack. If only we knew which RB from Chicago will get the most carries (my money is on T.Jones).

[SpidermanHouston]

Generally, I try to pick people who play the Texans twice in the same year:nanabobo:


You should have drafted the Indianapolis defense.

[OMG its LFG]

the defensive picks sucked. I replaced people with 10 points with people who had 100 last season.

[SpidermanHouston]

David Carr had slightly better fantasy numbers than my QB, Peyton Manning. My running backs and wide receivers sucked. I had players on my bench that did better. Hopefully it's just a first week fluke. But I won't mind if Manning has a mediocre game next week against my Texans.

[Son of Locke]

Interesting first week -- down 8 with S. Moss and L. Jordan up against Randy Moss. Could be a nailbiter. Fun stuff!

[CENSORED]

So...umm, yeah. Anyone feel like giving a challenge? Or does everyone just want to forfeit the championship to me?

Team Bubba not allowed to answer......

[I Like Freckles]

Forfeit the championship? Which team are you again? The one with the best record despite being outscored by the fourth place team?

I'll see YOU in week 16 or 17. The Giraffes are a-comin', and their highly pissed off.

[CENSORED]

Funny, wins matter more than points.....guess the giraffe gang didn't get that memo. ZING!

[Son of Locke]

Save that ZING for Mrs. C, Censored, she might be needing some comfort after this week's SoL-stealing ;)

[CENSORED]

Oh, that's right....attack a man's wife. Trust me, she can defend herself.....not to mention she has won leagues before by picking players with "the cooler sounding name" or "on a team with a cuter mascot".

Anyways, she just felt bad for you SoL....or, that's my defense for my wife...hehe..

peace!

[marshall2u]

Best looking cheerleaders....that is how I'm gonna pick next week.

[I Like Freckles]

Funny, wins matter more than points.....guess the giraffe gang didn't get that memo. ZING!

Exactly. Only in this league with 4 dead (or nearly dead) teams, wins truly matter only in weeks 15, 16, and 17. And the team the scores the most points would sure seem likely to have the best chance at a win on any given Sunday, dontcha think? ;)

[SpidermanHouston]

So...umm, yeah. Anyone feel like giving a challenge? Or does everyone just want to forfeit the championship to me?

Team Bubba not allowed to answer......


I play you again in week 12. My team is different than the one you played in week 1. Peyton Manning will have a big game against the Eagles that day.

[Fancy Monkey]

I play you again in week 12.

Week 12 should be a good one then... a possible semifinal preview. Of course, I think more points might be scored in the "other" potential semifinal preview that week. But maybe that's just me.

Rivers is hitting his stride...

[I Like Freckles]

It's not just you. And I'll go out on a limb and say that the "other" week 12 matchup will be a Superbowl preview, not merely a semifinal preview. ;)

[I Like Freckles]

I play you again in week 12. My team is different than the one you played in week 1. Peyton Manning will have a big game against the Eagles that day.

Of course, Spidey, your biggest fear has to be that the Colts are running away with the AFC #1 seed. Ain't gonna see too much Peyton in weeks 16 and 17 if they've already wrapped up homefield, are we?

[SpidermanHouston]

Of course, Spidey, your biggest fear has to be that the Colts are running away with the AFC #1 seed. Ain't gonna see too much Peyton in weeks 16 and 17 if they've already wrapped up homefield, are we?


That's why I have three backup QBs. David Carr is prepared to step up in the final weeks. :) I had Manning last year also so I'm aware of the final weeks situation.

[I Like Freckles]

I just noticed that I've had the highest score of the week in 6 of the last 8 weeks. Coming up in weeks 11 and 12 I get back to back shots at the two 1-loss (for now) teams.

Time to see who's for real, and who isn't.

[timbo910]

I hate Willie Parker. He has two runs of 72 and 76 yards and doesn't score on either of them, then he beats my @$$ is two leagues this week.

I have no faith in my team and plan on losing in the first round of the playoffs.
How's that for optimism?

[I Like Freckles]

If it's my job to do so, I will be happy to accomodate your plans for an early playoff exit. ;)

[Mr. Cluck]

Cluckkkkk! I completely forgot about this. No PM, cluckers? :rolleyez:

[SpidermanHouston]

Cluckkkkk! I completely forgot about this. No PM, cluckers? :rolleyez:

OK, you're like three months late. LFG kept bumping this thread until she found enough players back in August.

Trading deadline is Friday. Nobody wants to give me a running back for David Carr? :)

[SpidermanHouston]

Ouch, Censored has lost his starting QB (McNabb.) Things are going to get interesting now. Let's see if your back up, Plummer, can put up some numbers against me next week.

[Fancy Monkey]

That torn ACL may just have locked up the #1 seed for me. Of course, I'd feel a lot better if that meant anything in this league...

[SpidermanHouston]

Fancy Monkey, you gave me a dud when you traded Warrick Dunn to me. Although he is probably getting the same amount of points as Chris Chambers. My running backs suck. It sucks when each of the two running backs (Travis Henry and Mike Bell) I had on my bench had more points than my starting three combined.

[I Like Freckles]

That torn ACL may just have locked up the #1 seed for me. Of course, I'd feel a lot better if that meant anything in this league...

We agreed to a $50 buy-in to be split 60-30-10 by the 1st, 2nd and 3rd place teams, didn't we? ;)

[SpidermanHouston]

Having the #1 seed might mean playing Mrs. Censored in the first round who has Ladainian Tomlinson and the returning Matt Hasselbeck.

[I Like Freckles]

Then, I may be happier if I manage to lose to Jesusball tonight depsite his QB breaking early.

[Fancy Monkey]

Fancy Monkey, you gave me a dud when you traded Warrick Dunn to me. Although he is probably getting the same amount of points as Chris Chambers. My running backs suck.

Well, I'd offer you Marion Barber, but something tells me you'd reject that on moral principles.

[Fancy Monkey]

Having the #1 seed might mean playing Mrs. Censored in the first round who has Ladainian Tomlinson and the returning Matt Hasselbeck.

And here I was holding out hope for Team Bubba to make a run for the 8 spot.

[SpidermanHouston]

Well, I'd offer you Marion Barber, but something tells me you'd reject that on moral principles.

The trading deadline was this past Friday so no more trades are allowed. But yeah, I refuse to have any Cowboys on my team.

[timbo910]

Sorry I beat you, Spidey. I figured you didn't want to wrap up a playoff spot yet. Its more fun to fight for them like the rest of us. Welcome to the party!

[Fancy Monkey]

Sorry I beat you, Spidey. I figured you didn't want to wrap up a playoff spot yet. Its more fun to fight for them like the rest of us. Welcome to the party!

Yeah, Peyton Manning had a bad game. He will do good when it counts. We might play each other again in the first round of the playoffs.

[Fancy Monkey]

Looks like I picked a good week to unleash my Joe Addai 44-pointer. Sure hope he didn't use up all his touchdowns before December gets here...

[SpidermanHouston]

Yeah, I didn't watch the game. I saw the final score this morning and I thought for sure Peyton Manning had a good game. I look at my fantasy team and see that Peyton Manning only had 11 points. One TD pass??!! My two reserve QBs , David Carr and Jason Campbell each had more points. And my running backs still sucked. I'm going to drop to sixth or seventh place but I guess it doesn't matter since only the last 3 weeks really count and I'm not in danger of missing the playoffs. Although it means that I will be playing one of the top 3 teams in the first round. Hopefully Manning has saved his TD passes for the last 3 weeks.

[CENSORED]

Doesn't matter. I'm going to win with a rookie QB.....just to make it taste sweeter. HAHAHA!!!!!

I mean, good luck everyone.

[SpidermanHouston]

I might pull off the upset and beat Fancy Monkeys with my two remaining players tonight.

[Fancy Monkey]

About time for a few missed field goals!

If I had the lead going into tonight's game, I would have benched my remaining two players just in case they get negative points. But hopefully, DeShaun Foster plays since he has been injured and Akers makes a couple of field goals. All i need is 4 points.

[SpidermanHouston]

uggh! DeShaun Foster is inactive. I knew I shouldn't have started him. Now all I need is a couple of field goals by Akers.

[Fancy Monkey]

Well, there goes the winning streak. Oh well. Now the #1 seed will come down to who can better take care of business against a 1-12 team. After Team Bubba's performance last week, I like my chances!

[sittinpretty]

i am 3 - 9 right now...my worst fantasy season yet.... :( it's a crushing feeling.

[Fancy Monkey]

Playoff time... any predictions for the first round?

(1) Fancy Monkeys vs. (8) Mrs. Censored
(4) Ocho Uno vs. (5) Funky SoL Medina
(3) ILF's Angry Giraffes vs. (6) SpiderManHouston
(2) JESUSBALL!!! vs. (7) Lost For Good

[Son of Locke]

Playoff time... any predictions for the first round?I predict I will know that it's the playoffs this week...as opposed to last week...

[timbo910]

Mrs. Censored over Fancy Monkeys in the first round....... HUGE UPSET!!

Ocho Uno to the Super Bowl.

[SpidermanHouston]

Mrs. Censored over Fancy Monkeys in the first round....... HUGE UPSET!!

That might just be true since Mrs. Censored has LT but overall fancy monkeys has a better team.

My team has been sucking since Peyton Manning stopped throwing TD passes. I have to live or die with Manning and he is due for a big game.

[Fancy Monkey]

Mrs. Censored over Fancy Monkeys in the first round....... HUGE UPSET!!

Ocho Uno to the Super Bowl.

Hey, I'm definitely afraid. If I can just get out of the first round, though, I should have a cakewalk in round two :)

[CENSORED]

I think I want Giraffes in round 2! You hear me Girrafes! I want you!!!.....oh, yeah...my first game....umm, I win by 2.

PS- Mrs. Censored doesn't even know who 3/4 of her players are. That would make the upset even funnier....hehe....

My wife and I were in a $25 league together. I needed to win the last game of the year to make the playoffs and she beat me by like 40 points. It was partly my fault though, because I kinda took over her team to help her out. Oh, well...

Looks like you're first going to need a miraculous comeback on MNF to avoid a first round upset...

My team has been sucking since Peyton Manning stopped throwing TD passes. I have to live or die with Manning and he is due for a big game.

Hope is not lost. Manning could still go for 10 TDs and 500-something yards tonight... Oh wait. That STILL wouldn't be enough to help you. :p

I'm calling an all-animal Superbowl. Giraffes vs. Monkeys.

[Fancy Monkey]

I'm calling an all-animal Superbowl. Giraffes vs. Monkeys.

What we lack in height we more than make up for in our ability to dress up in people-clothes and impishly squirt water through our teeth.

Although, my secret hope that Vick would have been benched by now is not looking so good anymore. Maybe Mora will trade him to the University of Washington.

[SpidermanHouston]

My team gets to play in the Consolation tournament next week. That's where the real action will take place.

[Fancy Monkey]

It's not just you. And I'll go out on a limb and say that the "other" week 12 matchup will be a Superbowl preview, not merely a semifinal preview. ;)

Got your wish. Time to unleash all the Week 17 goodness. I can't wait to see which of our teams has more random last-minute starters sitting out due to previously unreported injuries! Good times!

[Son of Locke]

Pleh. Congrats, FM. Can't believe my team limped that far into the playoffs. Hope we can do it again next year -- maybe without computer-generated teams? ;)

[SpidermanHouston]

I should have lost some regular season games on purpose. if I would have been at the #7 spot, i would have won the first round and then I would have beaten ILF in the second round.

[I Like Freckles]

3 point win in the superbowl for the Monkeys. Congrats. Can't believe that I would have won had I started literally any other kicker (besides Gould) or Kitna over Vick.

In any event, well done. I lost 5 games this season, and 3 were to FM.

[Fancy Monkey]

Thanks, I have to say, I am surprised I beat you, because you definitely had the better team from start to finish. But I guess this just puts me at the head of the list if you're ever looking for a nemesis. Well, me or Steven Jackson.

[SpidermanHouston]

I really thought Fancy Monkeys was going to lose when I saw that he started Miami as his defense. Who starts a defense that's playing Peyton Manning?

Fantasy football. I resurrect thee.

But really, I am looking for a website to host a keeper league that I am setting up. Does anyone have any recommendations. I know yahoo and CBS and SI.com are good for re-draft leagues, but what about for keeper leagues? And what about any other websites (fanball.com, antsports). Has anyone ever used those?

Good call>>resurecting fantasy football for next season.

I don't really fully understnd what it is you are asking, but i think you are asking if we know of a fantasy football site which is free?

I would just go to google and search 'free fantasy football' ;)

[kd8ch]

I think ESPN has fantasy leagues, too. Not sure about keeper leagues, though.

[SpidermanHouston]

If anyone that played last season or even if you did not play last year is interested in playing this season, I can start up a lostaways fantasy league in Yahoo again. All we need is 8 people or more. I'm already in a league with my coworkers but it's too much fun that I want to be in another league also. I would like to make it a live draft this time around although if you are not available at draft time you can still set up your draft preferences so the computer will pick for you. So if you are interested, just post in this thread and if there's enough interest, I will start a league.

OK, cool. I set up the league since I'm sure we can find a few more people by mid August. I have the live draft set up for Sat Aug 18 12:30pm CDT/ 1:30pm EDT. I can always change the draft day and time. Fancy Monkey needs to join to defend last year's title. I will also be setting up the pickems as soon as Yahoo sets it up.

No worries LS. After winning the L-TV college basketball bracket and currently residing in second place in L-TV fantasy baseball, I plan on winning the L-TV fantasy football competition too. :D

[kd8ch]

All right, I'm in. I can lose here as easily as I can lose at baseball. Though I doubt I'll be drafting as much of the home team as I can, like I did in baseball.

Of course, if the Indians would start hitting the ball, I might move up some there.

[kd8ch]

By the way, I've never done the fantasy football before. Does the draft work the same way as the baseball draft did?

[John Charles]

By the way, I've never done the fantasy football before. Does the draft work the same way as the baseball draft did?
No. In this draft, I get to select everyone's players through the first 5 rounds.

[kd8ch]

Oh, well, in that case, I probably will get all Browns!

[SpidermanHouston]

OK, we now have an even 8 teams. I've never played fantasy baseball so I don't know how their draft works. In the football draft, which is live this Saturday at 12:30 pm central/1:30 pm eastern/10:30 am pacific, the draft order is randomly selected about 30 minutes before the draft. Once the draft starts, each player has 90 seconds to make each pick. There will be 15 rounds. If you can't make it to the live draft, you can set your draft player rankings or use yahoo's rankings and the system will select your team for you.

[timbo910]

I'm in. Hopefully i'll do better than I did in our baseball league.

[SpidermanHouston]

We now have 9 players. We need a tenth player because it has to be an even amount of teams. Anyone else? The draft is two days away.

[CENSORED]

I won't be there....

Hopefully the all mighty Yahoo Gods will have my back.

[SpidermanHouston]

Just make sure and put Michael Vick and a kicker on top of your pre-draft rankings. And you can also put Randy Moss up there because he's going to suck. :)

[Lab]

I'm in as the 10th player. :)

I have to work Saturday, but am going to try and be on for the draft, if not, hopefully some of my pre-draft rankings will work out for me in auto draft.

[SpidermanHouston]

Less than two hours till draft time. No Dallas Cowboys will be on my team.

[SpidermanHouston]

Draft in 5 minutes. Somehow I ended up with the tenth overall pick. I will make the best of it.

[marshall2u]

Second to last pick.....what a bunch of crap. Based on my last years performance, I should have the FIRST overall pick...Grrrrrrrrrrr

[SpidermanHouston]

Second to last pick.....what a bunch of crap. Based on my last years performance, I should have the FIRST overall pick...Grrrrrrrrrrr


But it goes in reverse in the second and every other round. So I will have the first pick of the second round and you have the second pick of the second round.

[SpidermanHouston]

And Marshall, you ended up with a good first round pick. I thought I was going to be given a gift when I saw Peyton Manning passed up in the first 8 picks.

And Marshall, you ended up with a good first round pick. I thought I was going to be given a gift when I saw Peyton Manning passed up in the first 8 picks.

Yeah, I'm pretty happy with the results. :)

[FrodoFraggins]

I made the mistake of not doing any practice drafts before this one. I violated all of the rules I have for yahoo leagues. Retarded 2nd round pick when I should have grabbed a WR or RB. Then seeing all the good WR's get drafted. Eh, I'll make the most of it but luckily I have other teams in the event this one totally busts.

[John Charles]

excuses excuses

[Lab]

Most of my squad is banged up and questionable, I just hope I can get enough players on the field to do me some good in week 1.

[CENSORED]

Wow...Wayne started my week off good....

Now if only Hodge got back to me about that trade....

[John Charles]

Week One: Highs and Lows

Locke's Legs ran for 130 points on Sunday. Plus, Anquan Boldin and Todd Heap haven't even played yet (they'll play in the Monday night games tonight). This team may prove to be a juggernaut!

Spidey's Texans had 5 starters score a cumulative 6 points on Sunday of week one. Or, maybe I should say weak one.

That's it for now cuz everyone else was average.

[SpidermanHouston]

Unfortunately, Drew Brees and Reggie Bush had a weak week one. They will bounce back.

[FrodoFraggins]

My team ridiculously overachieved. I probably won't score over 100 points in a week from here on out! I almost benched palmer for Romo after week 1.

BTW: I'm willing to trade any players if it makes sense. But If you ask for gates/palmer I kind of want to make it a deal for a stud of some sorts, ie. WR1 or high RB2.

[John Charles]

I'm still undeafeted. Just sayin'.

[SpidermanHouston]

I don't think it's fair that kd8ch has both Tom Brady and Randy Moss on his team. He should drop one of them to even out the teams. :)
He's about to go to 11-0 while I'm going to be 5-6 with Drew Brees and Reggie Bush who I thought both were going to have a big season.

Not bad for the 25th and 36th picks, especially since the two guys that I drafted before them, Shaun Alexander and Marvin Harrison, turned out to be big busts for me.

I mean, not even Censored could have predicted that Tom Brady and Randy Moss would be having the type of season that they've been having.

i recommend TE Greg Olsen of DA BEARs!

here is why

the bears do not have a true #1 receiver and i do not know if Hester qualifies as a #2 receiver. greg olsen will be jay cutler's #1 target. the teams are going to be so worried about stopping forte and hester that olsen will find the middle of the field. he is a big guy who can break tackles. i highly recommend him.

super sleeper: WR earl bennet. you probably wont pick him up until mid season, but thats when you will need to. also of the bears, once teams catch onto olsen, he is cutler's next target (and former vanderbilt buddy) and he is poised for a breakout year. they will hook up for huge success like they did in college

my two cents

See, yoyo, I read that differently. No true #1 WR means a good TE will get bottled up and not see the ball as much. My 3 cents. :D

[SpidermanHouston]

We have six teams. We need at least two more people to sign up to make it competitive. I rather have members from here then to open it to the public.

[TheBigCat]

Hodge should be showing up soon.


*crosses fingers*

[soup]

I'll handle two teams if you want. :p

[Ltrain]

Come on people it is free

[2fingers]

I will play

[SpidermanHouston]

I'll handle two teams if you want. :p

I can just see the trades between those two teams. So nope. We now need one more player to make it eight.

Drats! My evil plan was sniffed out. Foiled again.....

[2fingers]

Noone wants to play with us :(

[TheBigCat]

Oh Hodge! Come out come out wherever you are!

[SpidermanHouston]

Oh Hodge! Come out come out wherever you are!

Hodge played the pick'ems not fantasy. TBC, are you not into fantasy ball?

[TheBigCat]

I'm playing in a fantasy soccer league. mav was in the league last year but he's a no-show so ACS is taking his spot this go-round.

I would like to point out to anyone reading this thread who has NOT signed up:

Football is the fantasy sport with the least "upkeep:" You only need to adjust your roster like once per week, if you choose.

Fantasy Football creates interest in other games due to their fantsy impact on your game/league.

Don't cost nuthin'.

Guess that about wraps it up.

SIGN UP. It's fun!

Just wondering...

I never play Fantasy Football because every Sunday during the season (and the week leading up to it), I'm so totally wrapped up in my real-life team that I've always thought keeping a fantasy team would be a distraction. I especially don't want to be rooting for a player in my fantasy team when he's playing against my real team, or if he's a factor in my team's division or even its conference.

As a season ticket holder in that same team, soup, do you find playing fantasy any kind of distraction to the real thing at all, or does it really just add to the football fun?

[2fingers]

I play every year with multiple teams but even if it is my starting Fantasy QB playing the Panthers I would never root for him to have a good game. The Panthers trump Fantasy football but the rest of it makes it more enjoyable.

[Ltrain]

Well my rule is that my team comes first before anything else. Its a little hard when u play in a league that is for money but for free ones like this there shouldn't be any problem.

I still route for my team against fantasy players in my pay league. I am a die hard.

[TheBigCat]

I learned something the hard way playing fantasy soccer last year. The site I play on works it so that you are in two competitions simultaneously. There are cumulative-score leagues which you enter with you friends and there is a head-to-head league that each player's team is automatically entered into.

The head-to-head league I was in I was the only Yank. 13 English, 4 Scots, 2 Irish and me, IIRC. They put flags by your names is how I know this. By Christmas I was 3rd place in the league and all these people had to be wondering just who this Yank was that was doing so well. But my error was that I was too sentimental to the team that I favor in the Premier League, that being Arsenal. They only allow you to 3 players from any one team and I kept my 3 Arsenal players on my team at all times, even when that team was underperforming and my Arsenal players were doing crappy.

In the end I wound up finishing 17th, which in a real league would have been one place above relegation.

Oh and in the cumulative league KoS won, I was second and island maverick came in third, so I don't feel too badly, being able to hold my own in competition against those two heavyweights. Made me want to run up Old Glory in celebration just because I didn't finish dead last. :D

I have no problem separating my love of the Pats from my fantasy teams. I end up having so many temas that sometimes what is good for one is bad for another. Reality comes first. Drafting Brady #1 helps. :)

I have a new problem: I may have a job lined up. If so, I may miss the draft, due to the afternoon start time on a Saturday. I will set myself up for autodraft, though (which I abhor, but oh well.)

[King of Snake]

I've signed up.

As a relative NFL noob, I'm sure I'm going to suck

[TheBigCat]

I did okay as a relative EPL noob. Of course I had the help of you and mav and the other Brits who frequented the Footy thread to learn my way around the league.

[soup]

We still need a 10th team.

I'm still bitching to have the time changed so's I don't got to Autopick :rolleyez:

[Ltrain]

I think u r ok with your auto pick lol

[SpidermanHouston]

I can change the draft time to the Tuesday evening (September 1) after week 3 of preseason. This will give us a better idea of who is definitely starting. Would everyone be ok with this date switch?
