Wow, I got smoked this week. Guess that's what happens when you are missing 2 of your 3 best players. Oh well.

The tank continues....I swear I deserve the #1 overall pick in next years draft. I wonder if that's doable in some leagues, like a carry over? I guess thats Dynasty Leagues Well league manager can set draft order,so technically it's doable. Maybe this should be a keeper/dynasty league.

Maybe this should be a keeper/dynasty league. Depends on if people wanna rotate in and out or if you can add more teams. I know there were one or two people who said they wanted in next year. I'm probably coming back regardless, despite some posts.in this thread I've enjoyed this league a lot lol. I have no clue how deep a league can get. This could be something to discuss with Powerline, I assume a keeper league allows you to keep some players while the rest go into a new draft. Could be fun, I don't mind either way

Wow, I got smoked this week. Guess that's what happens when you are missing 2 of your 3 best players. Oh well. If only I could have faced this team last week lol. But in fairness, because of Hill and Thielen you might've still beat me this week regardless... Let's see how Allen and Knox do!

So for example, if I kept Taylor, Deebo and Adams I wouldn't pick til the 4th round. It if you only wanted to keep hill, than you would pick in round 2. Usually u can only keep a player for a certain amount of years though, so that someone doesn't have an unbeatable dynasty.

Makes sense, players fluctuate hard from year to year though, Mahomes is a perfect example. Its quite an interssting trade off though. Randomness is just as fun though, but I'm sure there is appeal to keeping certain players.

I kind of like how the leagues here are one and done and everyone starts on a fresh slate. I will say there might be potential in the worst team this year gets the first pick next year as appose to the draft lottery. Maybe returning teams can get the earlier picks based on record of last year and the remining spots go to newer teams, or flip it where new teams get early picks and the returning teams get the later picks depending on where they placed this year. I kind of like the former as it gives perks to keep doing the league each year. Depends on what the commissioner wants to do. At this point I'm just throwing darts to see what sticks.

If there is enough interest, we can start up a keeper league next year. That way everyone can start from scratch, since your have to draft a little differently.

Personally speaking, I don't know why anyone would want the top pick. Way too much risk when you don't get another pick until pick 28. I'm not sure who has McCaffrey this year, but I don't imagine it worked out very well for them.

I wonder what Seth's draft position was anyway, they had some terrible luck this year, but yeah in tbe end the top picks can mean jack shit. Daley was one of the top picks with Henry. What really wins you a league is health luck and being mindful of who is getting hot on waivers

Personally speaking, I don't know why anyone would want the top pick. Way too much risk when you don't get another pick until pick 28. I'm not sure who has McCaffrey this year, but I don't imagine it worked out very well for them. I once started a keeper league on the side of the normal league, and save one or two people, nobody was interested. I had it up for a month and I think 5 people registered, so I just closed it up and didn't do it. That wasn't super-recently, but it wasn't a really long time ago either. I wouldn't mind if someone else did a keeper league (I'd probably even join), but I wouldn't want to do it in place of the normal league. As far as the draft order, I always just thought the rando was the best way to handle it. Default Yahoo rules actually have it where the order is unknown until the lobby is available to load (about 20-30 minutes before the actual draft itself). I thought it'd be more fun (and strategic) to make it a lottery thing I do where you can know beforehand and build a strategy. I've considered balancing newbies to the league and vets in the order (or doing an NBA lottery style where more spaces are taken up on "the wheel" for vets when we do the draft but newbies or bad records just have one space, almost assuring they stick around longer), but have always debated how to sort it especially since the "best position to draft" is subjective as it is. I know people who LOVE drafting at one of the ends of the draft and think the middle is a total valley. I know others that subscribe to spots 7 & 8 are prime territory. In a keeper league, I definitely think the discussion of "where do newbies draft" and how to consider previous results needs to take place, considering you keep players year after year. But in a league that's basically a full-reset year after year, I feel a simple "rando everybody" is best. I've also debated doing an auction draft, so then the draft order wouldn't matter (for those that don't know, there IS an order on who picks the player being bid on, and if nobody bids you get them, but otherwise it just goes to the highest bidder). The draft would go MUCH longer in that case; I've been in a league at a former job where we did an auction draft...then again, we discussed doing the draft at a different day/time next year too. More stuff we can discuss in the off-season.

More stuff we can discuss in the off-season. And again draft order in the grand scheme can mean jack shit, health and being mindful of waivers is your real long game, just to refresh as we head into the last week of the regular season, here was the draft order and their current records: 1. Sexy Billy (7-6) 2. Pumpkin Spice Mafia (4-9) 3. The Showstoppas! (11-2) 4. Jumping into the Shark (1-12) 5. hashtagdaly's Swell Team (7-6) 6. Fresh Princes of Bel Air (6-7) 7. Groose Football Team (7-6) 8. Hakuna Matata (7-6) 9. The CJB Fightin' Eagles (8-5) 10. GYN Comfywolves (5-8) 11. Return of the Jazz (7-6) 12. Edge of Insanity (9-4) 13. Delaware Clams (4-9) 14. Anal Bleeding Bob (8-5) Shows having an earlier or later pick might not matter in the end, it's the depth you can muster, breakout performances, waiver strats, and above all health luck, which can matter especially your number one pick

The Patriots' decision to just run almost all game until Joe Buck showed up on the Manningcast to roast Peyton paid off for me, though Joe's daughter and I have something in common and that is we both wanted Beasley to actually do things tonight.
AND THE LOSING STREAK HAS BEEN SNAPPED! Too little too late but if I'm gonna miss the playoffs I'm gonna at least f***ing go down swinging.

AND THE LOSING STREAK HAS BEEN SNAPPED! Too little too late but if I'm gonna miss the playoffs I'm gonna at least f***ing go down swinging. Its gonna be a legitimate free for all for a playoff spot this year. There are five teams that have wound up at 7-6 and Fresh Princes still have a shot at 6-7 playing Groose. You can play spoiler to Demented. Seth can play spoiler to Jazz, and Daley/Billy is basically a playoff win and in, and a potential lose and out. Every game matters in the last week to some degree, that's what you want.
