Fantasy Football 2K25 Catch-All-Thread

[Kevin Wilson]

It is that time of year for Fantasy Football! I am a few weeks later than usual making this thread, my apologies, real life just been kicking my butt.

If you are in the DVDVR Paid League, it auto-renewed as it always does with the same people. I haven't heard from Brent in awhile so I'm concerned he has disappeared, so if anyone here is interested in joining that wasn't in it last year let me know in case a spot opens up! Also if you were in it last year and don't want to be in it this year let me know ASAP so I can figure out if we have spots to fill. Payment for the paid league is due by the 31st, draft is September 2nd. Yahoo took away the option to have the "dues" listed so I'll just keep track in my head who hasn't paid yet, I'll start messaging people tomorrow.

Course if you aren't in the paid league we can still use this thread for general fantasy football chatter.

I heard from Brent, he's alive and well! Also, this year some of the cool new features on Yahoo are behind a paywall, like having a seven team playoff to match up with real life NFL. I'm not opposed to some of the things they've added (playing two opponents a week, the seven team playoff, etc.) but without a forum within the Yahoo Fantasy anymore I can't really gauge interest and only like half the league are active in this forum at this point. So I just keep things the same.

If there ends up being an opening I'd be down for joining.

I think we got the whole band back together. Which is kinda surprising as I think the first year of the league was 2009 and about half of the players are the same, we don't see too much turnover. A couple people disappeared over the years and I think we've kicked out Chris at least once but that's about it

Hey I'm a changed man - I've been kicking butt in the Emeritus Baseball League!

I love getting terrible draft scores from Yahoo year after year. It's a comforting sign going into the season.

I finished the draft really disappointed with my team and got an A+ from them. I don't see it.

[RIPPA]

Yeah - Yahoo's AI doesn't account for a league's settings

So like I got massive bonus points for selecting T.J. Hockenson way later than his rank

But I really shouldn't since our league doesn't have a dedicated TE slot

[Hail Sabin]

It's all based on ADP with Yahoo Grades I took the Commanders' Bill in another league where he goes in ESPN drafts & it said it was my worst pick because I took him 3 rounds early. I think Courtland Sutton is the pick it was bitching to me about in the DVDVR League.

Starting to have major regrets about putting my wagons on Ashton Jeanty.   So far he has been nothing but a guy you can only get your points on 1 - 3 yard TD.

Something we probably should revisit is points for kick returns

(Says the man not getting credit for Deebo Samuel kickoff returns)

Not an intentional exclusion, remind me next August!

Going into last night, all I needed was for Drake London to not have a blow-away amazing game. Luckily, he stepped out of bounds before he touched the pylon, or I would've blown a 34-point lead.

Finally got win 1. Look out!

The playoff situation is wild for the final week in the DVDVR league. Not sure how it'll play out, but it looks like bye weeks are going to be an issue for some people.

Oh you mean how like I currently have 3 QBs and I can't start any of them?

You were definitely top of mind, yeah. 

[RIPPA]

Fortunately I just saw that I have already clinched a playoff berth so its not the end of the world

[Kevin Wilson]

Yea I did the fantasy football math in my head yesterday to make sure I wasn't eliminated but its looking bleak. Just need like five specific things to happen and I'm in!

[Log]

I think I was eliminated from the playoffs anyway, but it still hurt to lose by .08 points this week.

The one league I play in - one twelve team division - came down to five 6-7 and a 7-6 all playing each other for three spots. One dickhead, whose team hasn't been above 11th all year snuck into 5th on Head to Head tiebreakers.

Hence all the Submarine captain GIFs I've been flooding the group chat with.

Is there an opening in any DVDVR fantasy league?
