Yahoo Fantasy League (2011)

[Ed_Reed20]

I'll accept the challenge. I've limited my fantasy teams to two every year since I started, but three is still reasonable amount.

Send me the info when you can JO.

I'm in. The draft is on my birthday so I'll have to carve out a little time in between the partying.

Are we going to give him another shot if he winds up taking Cam Newton number one in that sort of state?

I'm interested to see how this is going to go. Hopefully this winds up being my most competitive league.

Looks like this year won't be easy with berad, ATD, ER20, and PuPu taking those last four spots. I was sorta licking my chops with dominating some scrubs, but some competition is always welcom

Should be a good league. Looking forward to it.

The one thing I know, is that no Ravens ever seem to end up on my team in BR leagues. There's always some homer who overvalues them.

[berad]

All I know is that if I lose to one of you, expect a ban

Were you in my NFL.com league last year, where the one guy basically drafted every Raven he could? Dude drafted Cundiff in like the third round.

Hazing usually refers to something like a right of passage - I've been around the block a while Pu.... hurts to think you don't think so ;P

I didn't mean it that way. I was messing with FlaccoFlicker for being the last one in and I just extended the joke to you.

[JO_75]

Just a reminder, my League Drafts at 9PM on Saturday.

If you can't make it, make sure you pre-set your rankings for when it auto picks for you. Thanks for everyone who joined and heres to a Great and Competitive League.

I wish people who start mock drafts would try harder to finish them. Most of those kickers were probably auto picked.

I hate it, because thats not how a real draft would go, and it makes me overvalue the team I drafted.

I hate people who either just leave a mock, or take it too seriously and use the entire allotted amount of time to make their pick.

[JO_75]

Ok for all those in my league, I am doing something different for the Draft. I was searching around and decided to do a Custom Draft Order. Just so everyone knows, I wrote everyone's name down and put them in a hat and pulled them out to set the Draft Order. I know it will probably be better allowing Yahoo to randomly set the Order but I just wanted to try out a custom Draft Order.

If everyone is ok with it, and if not I can always go back and re-set it to setting the Order 30 minutes before the Draft, I can tell you the Draft Order and also I saw a thing for Snaking or No Snaking. Which means that with Snaking, the first player to pick, picks last in the second round, and the last person in the first round picks first in the second, etc. If I choose no Snaking, it will be similar to the NFL Draft, where you pick at the same slot every round.

Ok, yeah I'm not even # 1, I can tell you I'm second, though I may move me down a bit lol. If everyone else is ok with it, I'll release the Draft Order tonight so you can start planning for Saturday Night.

I'm cool with the custom draft order, especially if you tell us before.

But I wouldn't change it from a Snake draft. This isn't like the NFL, where bad teams get the first picks of every round.

If it is a from scratch league (which it is), the fairest way to distribute the chances is a snake draft. It just wouldn't be fair to the late round picks.

[Ed_Reed20]

I'm cool with the custom draft order. It'll give me a few days to narrow down my targets.

[s]I'm indifferent to whether the draft is snake format or not.[/s] Pu made some valid points though. Snake it up!

[JO_75]
