DTF Fantasy Football Fun League 2013 v. Rise of the Noobs

[Destiny Of Chaos]

If a lot of people can't make it tomorrow, we can push it back. I can't do 8/27 8/29 before 9PM EST, 8/31, or 9/3.  Anything else works for me. 

[jammindude]

It's not a matter of "not making it"....I've just never tried it before.

Anyone ever done two drafts at once?

[Dr. DTVT]

DTF Keeper League - Keepers need to be in by Aug. 31.

Wamphri, Dramatic Team of Events, and Dimitrius need to re-up or tell me they are dropping.

We also have room for two expansion teams.

The only nights that aren't good for me this week are Wednesday and Thursday. I'm free all other nights.

[Accelerando]

Im free most nights this week. Even if Im out, I do have the Yahoo FF app for me from draft from my phone

[Destiny Of Chaos]

I suppose we'll just stick with tonight.

[snapple]

I suppose we'll just stick with tonight.

 

[jingle.boy]

Looks like I will be able to participate.  8:30 ET tonight, right?

[PuffyPat]

The draft is quickly approaching. I hope y'all are ready.

I hit the link on the email, that led me to a yahoo email that was to be sent to the commish (I assume you) for permission to join.  That was 2 weeks ago, I still see nothing for Yahoo leagues under my ID

** edit... just tried again and was able to join.   

[Perpetual Change]

I'm ready!

Draft room is open.

[PuffyPat]

I was hoping for something around 6, but I can work with 10.

[Perpetual Change]

I'm in

[Accelerando]

Made my nachos. Happy drafting everyone.

[Destiny Of Chaos]

Thanks to everyone who made it out to the draft.


I think that I have potentially the best Receiving Corp, but the weakest running backs. We'll see how that works out for me.

AJ GREEN>>>>>>>>>>

I WAS GONNA DRAFT THAT GUY>>>>>>>>>>>>

[Perpetual Change]

My starters

QB: Andrew Luck (hoping this is his breakaway year - got reliable above-average Eli if he don't)
RB: Maurice Jones Drew (ready for his breakway year)
WRs: Brandon Marshall, Reggie Wayne
TE: Rob Gronkowski (Brady will need him when he's back, until then I will start Celek most likely)
K: Matt Bryant
WR/RB/TE: Tayvon Austin - I know, risky pick! Might go with Heyward-Bey or Jeremy Kerley too...
Defense: Seattle

Backups (aside from above): Shonn Greene (could have a great year), Danny Woodhead (same), Bilal Powell (reliable, shows lots of potential in camp), Brent Celek, Kenbrell Thompkins, Shayne Graham (shouldn't have burnt a pick on him, he was my sole auto when I couldn't decide).

I think I easily have the best defense. I think MJD could be a huge factor. Otherwise I could be hit or miss. I don't think I'll regret Luck. I think my WR's are solid. Overall I think I'm too dependent on Indie's offense, but we'll see as things progress.

[bosk1]

I think that I have potentially the best Receiving Corp

Potentially.  Your starting 2 are definitely elite.  But not sure about your flex or your backups.

[jammindude]

CRAP!   Family drama made me space it.   I arrived just in time for my last 3-4 picks.   

I'll have fun no matter what...but I guess I deserve what I got.

UGH.....RG3.   I *DID NOT* want him at all.   I seriously think he's going to be a bust.   I don't believe he will ever completely recover from that knee injury.

Plus, didn't you get Bradford and Palmer back-to-back? You better pay attention to free agency! haha

[PuffyPat]

I like my starting probable starting lineup for the most part. I'm iffy on Williams as a second RB, but with Cam probably handing the ball off more, he should be alright. I'm 'It's Not Your Fault' by the way. TEBOW TIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIME!

QB: Cam Newton
WR: A.J. Green
WR: Pierre Garcon
RB: Alfred Morris
RB: DeAngelo Williams
TE: Tony Gonzalez
W/R/T: Golden Tate
K: Sebastian Janikowski
DEF: Pittsburgh Pit

BN: Rashard Mendenhall
BN: Ben Roethlisberger
BN:  Ryan Broyles
BN: Antonio Gates
BN: Justin Blackmon
BN: Coby Fleener
BN: Knowshon Moreno
BN: Tim Tebow

[jingle.boy]

RG3 was passed over for quite a long time too.    But hey, Tebow is still available to pickup!  (Edit ... or not.  Didn't notice that Puffy picked him up in the final round).

I'm happy with my team.  Whenever you have Brady, good things can always happen.  Phillip Rivers ain't a bad backup.  Having six #1 WRs (how the fuck did I manage that??), two #1 RBs, and three #1 TE's makes me happy.  Really like my depth.

Puffy... how did you export/copy your roster?  Or did you just manually type it up?

[bosk1]

three #1 TE's

What?  Why? 

[PuffyPat]

Puffy... how did you export/copy your roster?  Or did you just manually type it up?

A little of both. I copied everything, and then got rid of all the other stuff. There's a lot of crap that comes with it. In retrospect, it probably took as long as just typing it out. Haha.

[bosk1]

Well, shoot.  If that's how we're gonna do it...

QB: Colin Kaepernick
WR: Eric Decker
WR: Steve Smith
RB: Steven Jackson
RB: Trent Richardson
TE: Brandon Myers
W/R/T: Frank Gore
K: Mason Crosby
DEF: St. Louis

BN: Ahmad Bradshaw
BN: Anquan Boldin
BN:  Lance Moore
BN: Miles Austin
BN: Josh Freeman
BN: Kendall Hunter
BN: Heath Miller
BN: Steven Hauschka

RB: Steven Jackson

DEF: St. Louis

BN: Ahmad Bradshaw
BN: Anquan Boldin
BN:  Lance Moore
BN: Miles Austin
BN: Josh Freeman
BN: Kendall Hunter
BN: Heath Miller
BN: Steven Hauschka

Best RBs in my opinion. At least the most reliable.

[Dimitrius]

QB: Matt Ryan
WR: Randall Cobb
WR: Antonio Brown
RB: Marshawn Lynch
RB: Stevan Ridley
TE: Brandon Pettigrew
RB: Daryl Richardson
D: Arizona
K: David Akers

BN: Tony Romo
BN: Ben Tate
BN: Mike Williams
BN: DeAndre Hopkins
BN: Andre Roberts
BN: Bryce Brown
BN: Roy Helu

[bosk1]

That lineup doesn't scare me.  But then again, I'm not sure how you do it, Dimi, but you manage to somehow be my Kryptonite every year.

You took MY Rams Defense?      My Jedi mind control MUST be working   

[jammindude]

The Dudes final lineup:

QB: RG3
WR: Larry Fitzgerald
WR: Vincent Jackson
RB: Doug Martin
RB: Matt Forte
TE: Fred Davis
W/R/T: Eddie Lacy (who???)

BN: Mark Ingram
BN: Josh Gordon
BN: Issac Redman
BN: Sam Bradford
BN: Fred Jackson
BN: Malcolm Floyd
BN: Brian Hartline

K: Blair Walsh

D/ST: Denver
D/ST: Miami


This is the worst lineup I've ever had.   However, I'm *VERY* happy with my WR's and my TE.   That is the one area that I probably got exactly who I would have drafted anyway.     But I'm not happy with ANY of my RB's...   If Matt Forte is the best I have to offer, I think it's going to be a long year.

We'll see.   When I started playing a few years ago, I did really well...but it was also because the leagues I played in always had an open waiver.   I could pick up players sometimes 2 minutes before kickoff.     But I guess some leagues have restrictions on that stuff.  I'll have to check the settings.     

I usually average about 40 waiver acquisitions a year.   

[Dimitrius]

That lineup doesn't scare me.  But then again, I'm not sure how you do it, Dimi, but you manage to somehow be my Kryptonite every year.

I know, right?

Yeah it's not very scary but if they do week-to-week what they should do, I'll be in a pretty good place to win!
