2016 Fantasy Football

[TBC]

Can't find it. It is full?

Only 3 teams are listed now. Go to the nfl.com website, fantasy, and then look for leagues and there is a small link that says something about an invite, click that and enter ID and password. I had to use the website couldn't figure it out on the app

 

[firerat]

I wants to plays the footballs..

<<<<<<<<<< rodents ablaze

 

[lupulinaddict]

I joined.

I don't see a spot on the roster for defensive player? Are we still doing def player or team?

 

[Elkobrewer]

I'm in if there's still room

 

[TechyDork]

Is there still room? If so I am interested.

 

[lupulinaddict]

It shows two more open teams... I think mauer wants you to use the Id and password he posted to signup.

If this fills, the other other other fantasy football thread has one more opening. Pm me or post there and I'll send you the Id and password. We draft this Sunday we will have a 12 team league non-ppr. Send at least one bomber to winner if you lose.

They couldn't have done a better job of hiding the invite link for mobile users.

looks like the league is full....talk to you all on sunday

 

[Homercidal]

Aw sht. I forgot about the draft while brewing beer! I spent a few hours looking over the rankings this past week and all for naught. Oh well, I'll check the team out and see if anything obvious needs adjusting. I really don't know much about the game yet anyway. Just looking forward to some football and seeing how to tweak the lineup each week.

And here I thought you were the one who drafted the panthers D in the first round!

 

[TorMag]

Well the draft is over. Time to Play Ball

 

[Homercidal]

And here I thought you were the one who drafted the panthers D in the first round!

Did that really happen? OMG I better have a close look this morning. Was busy all day yesterday brewing beer, and replacing the rear brakes and changing oil on my friend's car, and making food for everyone.

I think it was a 9 hour brewday.

 

[firerat]

Well I tried to draft from my phone, but I don't know what happened.

 

[lupulinaddict]

Well I tried to draft from my phone, but I don't know what happened.

A few years ago I used my phone with a nfl.com draft and it was hard to figure out how to deselect autodraft. Was that what was happening? It took me a few rounds to figure out how to shut it off.

 

[Homercidal]

Looks like I did ok for autodrafting. I was hoping to get A. Brown, but figured he would be gone right away. I lucked out.

At this point I don't know what to tweak until we get a little action on the field. Really excited to be excited for Thursday's game. I have to see if there is anyone on my team who is playing that game. In any case, I have the "pick'em" league at work I need to start picking winners!

That's exactly what happened. I just said screw it and let it ride. LOL

Oh well all in good fun right!!

It's on. Don't forget to set you lineups for tonight. Coming for you Stripped Growlers.

 

[Homercidal]

What a great weekend! Lions pull a victory out of a hat after giving up a big lead. Normally I'd just be complaining they gave up a big lead and lost, but not this week!

Drew Brees had a big day, which helped my team out a ton!

Anyone pick up Stafford? He could be giving some lucky owner some decent points if the Lions can continue to press the passing game.

 

[Homercidal]

Friggin Jets need to give the ball to Forte a lot more! &#128530;

Looks like you got the hang of fantasy!!

I got a great draft, apparently. Not sure I'm keeping Cook. He's not getting the ball enough. Too many options in GB to have him I think. Kind of the same problem in Detroit. Too many targets.

TE seems like a tough position to pick.

I am down 20 points in my matchup. Aces had a good weekend so far, but I got one more player picking up points tonight! (I HOPE! LOL!)

And this is why I'm playing. Normally I wouldn't give 2 shts about most games, but between this, and the pick'em league at work, I am at least interested enough to tune in and keep track of what's going on.

Maybe the best bonus is I actually got on Google before draft day and learned what a few football positions were that I didn't know before. Still not clear on some of the illegal formations, but I'm learning.

 

[betarhoalphadelta]

Need advice in my league, if you gentlemen don't mind... It's the first time I've done FF in several years.

I have the following WR. Only for 2 spots as I have 4 great RBs and prefer RB at the Flex. Who would you start as your two WR this week?

Dez Bryant
Stefon Diggs
Larry Fitzgerald
Tyler Lockett
Torrey Smith

Similar question. I have Coby Fleener who has been a disappointment and picked up Dennis Pitta this week as insurance if he continues to suck, who appears to have good rapport with Joe Flacco and is getting a lot of targets. Both are projected for 6 points this week. Should I keep trusting Fleener to get on the same page with Brees, or put the much lower rated (but producing) Pitta in at TE? What would you do?

I'm KBSclone.

Good matchup this week. Nearly won, but the Eagles couldn't do me a solid and give the ball to Matthews enough.

I feel the same way about the mobile app, but if you play with it enough you can learn to move around fairly good. I would not have designed it the same way.

Hopefully I will be able to get on more tonight and check injuries and think about updating my TE position. My backup is not playing right now.

Tight End is a plug and play position unless you have Gronk or Olsen, it really doesn't matter who you have....

Sleepers obviously make the biggest impact on a team than almost anyone else. I think what you want to do is look for the players with the lowest point totals so far, or who play against the best defense for their position and play them.

But seriously, I think the choice is pretty easy.

You have Stefon Diggs earning an average of 24.2 points per game, against the 6th best passing defense so far. You can't ignore those points. See how he does.

The next highest point getter is Larry Fitzgerald, who is earning 14.1 Points, AND going up against the 25th worst pass defense.

After that it's more cluttered, but you only need two, and these two look pretty good. Of course "Any Given Sunday", and all that...
