Oh yeah. Worst draft spot possible

Oh yeah. Worst draft spot possible

Looking forward to sniping you all night.

I think that commitment to weekly challenges is a must for league participation.

Top score of the week picks the following week's challenge.

Great idea. I hope we can keep up that pace.

Week One Wager:

Whoever has the top score in week one gets to name the last place team for the rest of the regular season.

 

[Cavalier Domer]

forgive me if this is mentioned earlier, but what was the resolution of this as a pay league? If that’s a yes, just pay in Yahoo! ? Deadline? Etc.

I mentioned the pay issue up thread. I'm putting it off for a season so we can discuss it. I also just don't have much extra time this August to lead a discussion on pro and cons because I am a new hire. If somebody dropped out because of the cost, I couldn't replace them.

One hour until Randy's Rumble Ponies run wild on you in this draft... Don't be late!

 

[Man Called X]

My team is trash, yeah!

 

[Randolphkeys]

Rosterbation:

QB: J. Herbert, J. Love
RB: M. Sanders (K), D. Swift, J. McKinnon, D.Achane, D. Harris
WR: G. Wilson (K), K. Allen, DJ Moore, J. Smith-Njigba, J. Mingo
TE: T. Kelce
K: McPherson
D: Browns

I went in with #1 receiver and a #2 running back keepers with mid-round price tags. I wanted to stay flexible with my early strategy, and Kelce fell into my lap in mid round one. This is the closest I've come to a zero running back strategy in this league. I do like the fact all my backs outside of Miles Sanders are on a committee but on great offenses with good offensive lines in front of them.

 

[Hurl Bruce]

My team, which Yahoo gives a D+ (it's not a grade they like to give out too often)

QB: A. Richardson, D Watson
RB: T Etienne, J Gibbs, A Kamara, J Warren, R Johnson
WR: T Hill, A Cooper, D Hopkins, M Evans, M Pittman
TE: T Higbee
K: G Joseph
D: NE Patriots

I went Tyreek at #2 because why not? I didn't like my rosters when I went RB in the first. I like my two late-round RBs in Jaylen Warren and Roschon Johnson. One of those is going to be a really good keeper next year.

 

[Jack Brickman]

QB Joe Burrow
RB Cam Akers
RB Antonio Gibson
WR Ja'Marr Chase
WR Sun God
TE Dalton Kincaid
FLEX AJ Brown
K Harrison Butker
DEF Dolphins

BN Jonathan Taylor
BN Zay Flowers
BN Marvin Mims
BN Jamaal Williams
BN Elijah Mitchell
BN Jayden Reed

My WR room fucks.

 

[Surge]

QB- Lamar Jackson, Aaron Rodgers
RB- McCaffery, Pollard, Pacheco, Mostert
WR- Metcalf, Ridley, McLaurin, B Cooks, Toney
TE- Pitts, D Schultz
K- Myers SEA
DEF- NYJ

Should be decent. Let's ride.

I think this is the first time Yahoo has ever given me an A+ for a draft. Although I'm pretty sure they gave me a D the year I won this league, so I'm not sure if that's a good thing.

As someone who is in like ten leagues and listens to dynasty content from people far smarter than anyone working at Yahoo, I tend to feel like this about their draft rating tool:

Yeah, Yahoo grades according to how they rank players. As we all know, their ratings are to be ignored for better sources.

On the other hand... Everybody between my first pick and your second round pick should have taken AJ Brown. You get an A+ for stopping that in it's tracks!

 

[Randolphkeys]

My little ponies don't even need Travis Kelce's knee to dominate this weekend.

 

[Jack Brickman]

Sun God so good.
