Anyone else have Owen Daniels?

feeds@yuku.com (NDOG44) — Mon, 02 Nov 2009 15:35:57 GMT

I'm only in two leagues. But I have Owen Daniels in both leagues. I identified him as a stud...got him somewhat late in both drafts and was having a great time watching him this year. I've been just as depressed about Daniels as I have been about the Packers today. And on a side note, I have Aaron Rodgers in both leagues too. I wasn't too happy watching him wincing and limping at the end of the game yesterday....my fantasy season...

Jermichael Finley...Can you lean on him?

feeds@yuku.com (lcbj68c) — Wed, 09 Sep 2009 21:36:06 GMT

So, I have Tony Gonzalez and Finley as my two tight ends. I'm looking to deal Gonzalez (arguably #1 TE) for something bigger at RB. Should I be concerned about starting Finley at TE? It's a PPR league. I picture him as having 40 grabs, 500 yards with 7 touchdowns..Is that too much? I think Gonzalez is going to fall off. I've got an offer on the table of Eddie Royal and Gonzalez for MJD? If he doesn't take this, without seeing my whole roster, what should I be able to...

The "Who should I start?" Thread

feeds@yuku.com (Point Beer Is Best) — Wed, 09 Sep 2009 15:33:55 GMT

I thought this thread would be a good way to facilitate discussions about fantasy teams. As I mentioned in another thread, I'm new to fantasy football so I need all the help I can get. I'm in two leagues, and I've pretty much made up my mind except for two matchups:

Lee Evans @ NE or Donald Driver vs. Chicago.

and

Kellen Winslow vs. Dallas or Jermichael Finley vs. Chicago (Obviously I'm going to go with Swag over the Soldier here, but I wanted...

Fantasy football draft

feeds@yuku.com (Getpaddled) — Thu, 27 Aug 2009 15:03:30 GMT

I was sopose to have a draft party on saturday, but my bro and 3 of his buddies backed out because they scored tickets to some concert. So now I am stuck with a league I paid 70 bones for.... I e-mail the people that was going to draft saturday and told them draft day was cancelled and that it has to be moved online. So here I am looking for 4 more people to draft in this league. I will take 6 people (12 team) if enough are interested. The league is hell-a good, I spent a lot of time on...

One more for keeper league, draft tomorrow night.

feeds@yuku.com (jerichoholicninja) — Wed, 26 Aug 2009 11:31:28 GMT

I'm looking for one more person for a keeper league. It is an ESPN league with other BF.netters and our draft is tomorrow night at 8pm CT. PM with your email address if you are interested.

So you have the #2 pick, and other FF questions

feeds@yuku.com (Point Beer Is Best) — Sat, 22 Aug 2009 07:23:24 GMT

First off, I have never in my life played fantasy football. So please treat me like I know nothing about it, since I don't. I am playing in a work league, with guys that have played it for 10-plus years. I drew the #2 pick. My understanding is the league uses the basic scoring structure (not a PPR league or TD only league). After the consensus #1 pick (AP), the water gets a bit muddy. Most places say that Turner is the best choice at #2, with others saying Forte or MoJo. I...

Thoughts on trade offer

feeds@yuku.com (homer) — Wed, 19 Aug 2009 15:40:17 GMT

We have a ten team league. I have the number one pick. Everyone gets one keeper (mine is Fitzgerald). So my first pick with be Peterson (we can only keep guys for two seasons max which is why he's available). Guy in my league offered me picks 10, 30, and 70 for 20,21, and 61. My thinking is that the drop off after pick 10 to 20 is much steeper than the drop off from 20 to 30. Any thoughts?

Ok so no auction, any interest in a 20 dollar money league on yahoo?

feeds@yuku.com (razzzorsharp) — Sat, 08 Aug 2009 17:55:55 GMT

Could use 10 guys.

Any interest in an Auction league?

feeds@yuku.com (razzzorsharp) — Sat, 25 Jul 2009 16:30:50 GMT

It would be a little had getting a time and place but I think it would be a good time if we could get a bunch of guys together.

Mock Drafts on ESPN

feeds@yuku.com (T B0NE 10) — Mon, 20 Jul 2009 14:45:39 GMT

Just letting you guys know on ESPN they have free mock drafts for 10 and 12 team leagues.

Its a really nice way to try out your draft strategies and be better prepared.

Who did you count on the most this year?

feeds@yuku.com (jazzytrav) — Thu, 18 Dec 2008 22:23:33 GMT

There are two players that I have on both of my teams, and I probably overpaid/overdrafted for both of them because i knew i wanted them on my team...Peyton Manning and Michael Turner. Manning had a rough start, but he just gave me a great chance to win both of my championships with Thursday night's 364 yds and 3 TDs.

Turner is definitely my go-to guy though. He had a few slow weeks here and there, but he nearly single-handedly won me two semifinal matchups last week. I find...

The "Well, how'd your season(s) go?" thread

feeds@yuku.com (pitchleague) — Sun, 14 Dec 2008 19:28:00 GMT

We seem to have this thread every year, so I might as well get started.

I lost my semi-final matchup today in my money league. Adrian Peterson did well (except didn't score) but Chris Johnson was a major disappointment as was Matt Ryan (had a nice TD reversed due to the guy fumbling the ball away.) I just ran into a brick-wall team that had Steve Slaton, DeAngelo Williams, and Bernard Berrian this week. (I would have won had Williams not had the 56-yard TD run).

Playoff Scheduling

feeds@yuku.com (jazzytrav) — Thu, 04 Dec 2008 10:04:55 GMT

Need a little help here. I'm in a league that is supposed to have a 6 team playoff (1 and 2 seeds get byes). Well, unfortunately we have one playoff-bound guy that thinks he can pay his league dues with his winnings (assuming he gets any). The rule on that changed in this league...if you don't pay by playoff time, you're not in the playoffs.

Ideally we could just take the next team and put him in the playoffs, but that would be the league commissioner, and he...

I'm a Brady victim in my most important league

This sucks big time for me....My fantasy team is destroyed in my league with my friends with big cash on the line.

Now I'm pleading with two owners so I can get McNabb, Manning, or Warner for Jamal Lewis.

feeds@yuku.com (brewcrew00) — Mon, 25 Aug 2008 15:17:16 GMT

Is anyone interested in joining eith a league, pick the winner, or both? I would like to do a league, the only requirement is that whoever joins MUST keep up with their team. I don't want something that fades away in the 7th week because your team is garbage.

I'd be open to making it a keeper league, having it be free or pay. Any interest?

HELP!

feeds@yuku.com (NDOG44) — Fri, 01 Aug 2008 18:22:00 GMT

This is technically a fantasy football topic, but I guess I need some unbiased opinions on the subject of Ryan Grant. Mods please don't move at least for a few hours, as this forum gets way more views than the fantasy forum. Thanks.

The deadline to declare keepers in my league is 4 hours 46 minutes away, and I am on the fence on Grant. I have Maurice Jones-Drew as my other guy, I traded an 8th round pick to get Grant. My original plan was to keep Grant and Joseph Addai and...

ESPN Auction League

feeds@yuku.com (splitterpfj) — Fri, 01 Aug 2008 12:18:00 GMT

I've never done an auction league before, I thought it might be fun.

You'll need an ESPN ID, if you don't already have one, but that only takes a minute.

If you want in....join us.

Fantasy RB's this year

feeds@yuku.com (T B0NE 10) — Wed, 16 Jul 2008 14:53:47 GMT

Doesn't it seem that there is a huge lack of RB's this year?

It seems after LT, Jackson, and Addai and Westbrook that everyone shares carries or is injury prone. It seems this year that back that is of 2nd back quality is your number 1 this year. It also seems there is no depth. Are we seeing a transition from the RB dominated fantasy years to a more QB and WR dominated league?

Are we having a league this year?

Last year I was in it, but my team became inactive after my computer caught a virus and died for a while along with me forgetting my yahoo ID. I apologize for that and would love to get back in, but I understand if you guys don't want me back.

Interesting new football sim/mmorpg site: Goal Line Blitz

feeds@yuku.com (dlk9s) — Thu, 27 Mar 2008 09:59:09 GMT

I've never been a big fan of MMORPG's, as I just don't have the dedication to really get into them (plus, I find them a bit boring), but on a poker forum which I moderate, an interesting one was brought to my attention: Goal Line Blitz.

In a nutshell, it's a full detail football sim. You create a player (any position - I have an OL and a P), join a team (you actually get offered contracts with salaries and signing bonuses), allocate skill points, and build that...
