Another year, so a new general thread is needed as drafts begin. I mean its crazy early for drafts but I know some leagues for whatever reason draft while preseason is still going on.

If you are in the DVDVR Paid League, I already re-started it with the same participants as last year as its just easier that way so when you log into Yahoo it should be there. If you don't want to play this year just let me know and I'll remove you so someone else can join, the $25 fee is needed by August 15th ideally, normal way to pay, I'll send out reminders a few days before. I feel the need to point out that I have won the last two years so I hope that you guys bring your best this year, I'm getting kind of bored ;)

I'm 95% sure I'll rejoin this year. Any changes to rules or scoring?

Nah, except I am going to find some 'recommended settings' online somewhere to tweak the defensive points. I wanted to get rid of the TE position since 95% of TEs suck and we have TE in the flex but was told not to do that so I didn't.

My man Evan Engram going to be part of that 5% that doesn't suck.

My other man Tyler Eifert also going to be part of that 5% for, oh, maybe 3 games until he's hurt again.

In the DVDVR Paid League we could add a $25 prize for 3rd place so if you lose in the Semi Finals both teams have something to fight for that last week.  $200 for 1st $50 for 2nd $25 for 3rd and $25 for winner of the loser's bracket. 

 

Also standard yahoo leagues now use our .5 PPR in their scoring.

Solo Tackle= 1 point works the main thing is figuring points for Sacks, INTs and FFs/FRs.

I hate to dilute the top prize any more than I already have since I want the overall winner (ie me) to get a meaningful amount of money, if it was a higher pay league I'd be open to giving a prize for 3rd but I have enough trouble as it is collecting $25 from people :) I only added a prize for the consolation bracket winner to keep people engaged/caring longer which I think has worked pretty well so far.

For Defensive Points, I didn't do anything too drastic but I did add TFL and assisted tackles since that seems to be standard, I upped the "force fumble" up one and upped the "pass deflections" up .5. I didn't do everything I found recommended as I didn't want to jump it up too much but it should get the defensive points more in line with other positions so every week it isn't a bunch of players in the 5 to 8 point range like it has been.

Sounds good. I plan on sending you my entry fee tomorrow.

First time I've drafted in a few years, between an attack of anxiety and a funeral for a cat. 14 team league, 4 on the bench. Went Super No RB for five rounds, which may prove to be my undoing.

QB: Wilson (SEA).

RB: Coleman (ATL),  Johnson (CLE),  Carson (SEA), Anderson (DEN).

WR: Jones (ATL), Allen (LAC), Hilton (IND), Enunwa (NYJ), Ginn (NO).

TE: Ertz (PHI).

K: Lutz (NO).

DST: Chicago (?)

Antonio Brown went 9th, second WR picked behind Mike Evans at 5th. Might be the same guy who picked the Seahawks D in the first round one year, so I guess that's an improvement?

This is way last minute, but would anyone have interest in joining a 10 to 12 team dynasty league? My friend's idiot brother who was the commish of our 2QB league up and decided to not do it again so now I'm left without a league and I've wanted to do a dynasty league for years now. 

If I get the players then I get them, if not then I'll plan for next year. I'm looking at a $25 buy in for this year with probably an increase for next year.

Reminder - if you are in @Kevin Wilson league - the draft is tonight.

 

Super reminder - if you can't make it, if you can at least remove injured people like McKinnon from your draft pool as I dunno if Yahoo will be smart enough to do it. Also, be sure to log in before Thursday night to change defensive players since Yahoo still has no idea how to draft defensive players.

McKinnon has been adjusted on yahoo rankings. The IDP still remain garbage however. 

I shall be in the draft as long as Tropical Storm Gordon doesn't knock out my power or internet in the next several hours.

In one of my leagues, I drafted Amari Cooper for the third year in a row. That first year he was good to me. Last year he flat out sucked. He had all the hype in the world this season and sounded like he was going to get fed.

By fed I didn't think Gruden and others meant something lower than table scraps. 3 fucking targets? Once again, I fell for the Cooper trap.
