Wow


Lets get a league going

 

[Archaix]

I'm in for a league, but it seems incredibly early.

Not too early, mind you. But early nonetheless.

 

[Fifty]

I'd be in for a few leagues, and I wouldn't mind doing a draft soon (yes, not everything's decided, but smart players can buy low on sleepers that they think will prove themselves in camp) but I doubt people would stay interested in a league that starts this early.

 

[whytemyke]

if you guys ever start one, i'll be in.

 

[J2 Cool]

me 2

 

[Fifty]

I'm sure there'll be a new thread or two. :lol

The season doesn't start for 3 months!

 

[CB3]

Most likely id be in. I did my first run at fantasy football last year and came in second overall so i think i got it down.

 

[Eminem]

as always, i'm in

 

[Cerebral Palsy]

I'm down.

 

[Desperado]

I'd be in but yall do pay leagues right

 

[Fifty]

With ESPN free this year (game's not open yet, but because of this big change, we can have a FREE ESPN league) and since football's not my #1 fantasy sport, I'm not shelling out money for no real reason. But yeah....I doubt there'll be any money leagues, and if there are, there will still be at least a few normal leagues.

 

[Brian Fellows]

I'm sure there'll be a new thread or two. :lol

The season doesn't start for 3 months!

But by the end of the weekend there wont be any decent draft times left.

 

[Fifty]

Really? I've made leagues with less than a month to go and I've had ok times......But if you really think/know that, and if you can pinpoint a good draft time (I couldn't, this early on) by all means start a league.

 

[Brian Fellows]

But how often have they started the sign up in early June?

Hell I just had to go back and fill in all the shit for my league twice because the first two times I picked filled up before I got through the process. For me the only decent draft times are early Saturday or pretty much anytime Sunday.

Do I know for sure I wont be doing anything on the night of Sunday August 21st? Not for sure but there is good chance I wont be doing shit but recovering from a hangover. So thats the date I picked.

I cant make a league here though. Its just not a good idea.

 

[DCX]

So....anyone starting the GAF Leauge/s?

DCX

 

[Unresponsive Bee Victim]

I'm definately up for it.

 

[themadcowtipper]

To early, but I'm in...

 

[iyox]

It's a little early for them to start. Hell though, I'm not complaining.

 

[tmdorsey]

Whenever it gets started I want in.

[DCX]

How did i do?

[yodathesoda]

How did i do?

DCX

Errrrr. IMO not so good.

 

[Maverick]

How did i do?

*shakes head*

 

[Fifty]

How did i do?

DCX

Not good.

You drafted a D wayyyyyyyyy too early. Same with Mcnabb and I'd say Rod Smith. You were lucky to get Jones in round 3 though

 

[DCX]

Hope i do ok...

DCX

 

[DCX]

How about my other league?

Rd 2- Domanick Davis

[CB3]

Drafting a QB is never to early. I drafted McNabb in the second round last year and he pretty much brang me into second place because my whole rest of the roster went to shit/got injured around week 8. I think you did pretty good.

 

[Wellington]

Not good.

McNabb early? With the amount of points that he brings in, I'd definitely take him as a first rounder.

 

[Fifty]

I've done two mock drafts so far, and seen a few, and I hadn't seen him go off the board until the third or fourth round. That's assuming 10-12 people are in the league.. Of course it's not that big of a mistake, since he got kevin jones.

 

[yodathesoda]

I would say Donovan's too early as well. The only QB I'd snag in the first 3 rounds would be Peyton (second round earliest) or Daunte (but not likely). There's just too many premium skilled (RBs most importantly) I'd rather have. Chances are I can get a QB that can get close to Donovan's points even in the 5th and 6th round.

 

[Wellington]

Hah. I know top pick will obviously have to be Peyton, but I assumed the rest of the top QB class would similarly follow. I will have to re-organize my draft order, in that case.

You will rue the day Fifty.

 

[Fifty]

I'm not saying you should pick this way, or even that it's the best mock draft but if you haven't already, reading a mock like http://fantasysports.yahoo.com/anal...060905&prov=yhoo&type=lgns&league=fantasy/nfl

is a good way to make sure you're not behind the pack when it comes to over(under)rating players. I've found for the most part people will follow the consensus rankings (not the shitty yahoo rankings mind you) so this gives you a better view on how people are valuing guys at this point in time.

 

[Miguel]

Rd 2- Domanick Davis




Doesn't beat my 1st round selection last year XD GO GO DOMANICK!

 

[Fifty]

Hey maybe we should do a side league where everyone just has players from their NFL team :lol

I've seen leagues like those listed, and I thought they were stupid, they might still be, but it sounds kinda fun.

Basically you'd start 3 WRs, 2 RBs, 1 QB and a TE, K, D from your favorite NFL team, and it operates as a normal fantasy league. You'd be able to have whoever you wanted from your NFL team on your bench (maybe 6 bench spots) and if a trade were to happen in the offseason (since it's early) you could add that player to your team

I know it's probably a dumb idea, but if people want to do it just for fun, on the side, then I'd be up for doing the hard work (assigning everyone their players via an offline draft) We'd only need about 8-10 minimum since you're using

 

[Wellington]

Hah, I'd be in for that. Tiki, Shockey, and Plax along with my D will far outweigh whatever damage Eli would cause.

 

[CB3]

Just did my draft for my little practice yahoo league. I dont think i did to bad.

1. Willis McGahee RB
2. Jamal Lewis RB
3. Anquan Boldin WR
4. Mark Bulger QB
5. Brian Westbrook RB
6. Michael Clayton WR
7. Roy Williams WR
8. Fred Taylor RB
9. Eric Johnson-TE
10. T. Houshmandzadeh WR
11. Philly Defence
12. Ryan Longwell K
13. Kurt Warner QB
14. Mike Williams WR
15. Reggie Brown WR

Hah, I'd actually not mind doing this at all. Granted, I'd have to kick a few people in the crotch so I could get to the Steelers, but that's just added fun.

Of course, figuring out which two running backs to start wouldn't be much easier than if I'd picked four guys from random teams. Will it be Duce and Bettis? How about Willie Williams? Verron Haynes and Verron Haynes v. 2 (Noah Herron) could sneak in there. Just not fair!

 

[Miguel]

I call Texans!

I really, really like Kurt Warner at back up QB this season. Good pickup.

 

[Bowser]

I call Panthers if it happens!

 

[CB3]

Yup, I have Kurt actually playing the whole season with the Cards unless he gets injured. Behind a good O-line with recievers like Anquan Boldin and Larry Fitzgerald Kurt can carry the cards into the playoffs.

 

[DMczaf]

Haha, we should do a side league like that. Hell, I did that in one of my other leagues last year (of course, because the Bucs offense sucked ass for half the season I got KILLED! :lol )

 

[Cerebral Palsy]

That would be kinda cool.

I call the Chiefs!

 

[Wellington]

That would be kinda cool.

I call the Chiefs!

And just like that we all lost. :lol

No one should be allowed to call the Colts. That's just not right. :lol

 

[Fifty]

Glad to hear people think it's a cool enough idea. I'm creating the league now and I'll be sending invites. whoever has called a team now has them. Hopefully we'll have 10-12

 

[Archaix]

I assume you just take a forfeit the week of your bye? Granted, that could be a bit unfair when a team runs into another team with a bye week and gets a T instead of an L. I doubt anybody's going to be taking seriously enough to mind though.

 

[Brian Fellows]

I got bored so I joined a public league that was drafting soon. I really havent been paying that much attention yet. I was just kinda winging it. Also picks 4, 5, and 6 were made for me cuz I forgot about the draft while watching Entourage. Here is who I got.

1. P. Manning
20. D. McAllister
21. C. Portis
40. D. Jackson
41. D. Bennett
60. D. Driver
61. J. Witten
80. J. Arrington
81. M. Robinson
100. A. Randle El
101. F. Taylor
120. B. Roethlisberger
121. J. Carney
140. Indianapolis
141. Kansas City

Yes, I thought about that. One idea is to make it a points league that way everyone's bye will balance out.

 

[Eminem]

i'm totally in for that side league. should be interesting to see how the bears offense is this year :lol
