Holy crap, you muffins sure do talk a lot. Look, if you want a real preview of what's going down next season, go take a look at the ES baseball league. I believe Kur, Drop, f_trizzy and myself are in it, possibly more of you.

I'm handing everyone their faces. I expect no less when football season rolls around. 3rd place is just two swift ass-kickings away from 1st, and I feel like kicking some asses.

By the way CCFF, you are going in the Taken out of Context thread.

this is the first post ive read today since its the first new post since i was on yesterday. so maybe someone else brought it up...

but isnt nut in there as well? or maybe im mixing it up with my espn keeper league.

Funny thing about that baseball league. I hang around the top half of the league all season. Then Wieters finally becomes eligible and I plug him in as my catcher. Since then I haven't even come close to winning a game. Thats not supposed to happen when you have baseball Jesus on your team!

Of course it might also have something to do with the fact that I just noticed today that Mark Reynolds is one of the best hitters on my team and I've had him riding the pine most of the year.

youre the one who got reynolds?

i wanted to snag him right before he starting doing well i think just cuz he was the best at his position on waivers. but i already had like 4 guys at the same position and didnt pull the trigger that day. then i go back the next day and hes gone. lol

are you trying to become a day trader or something? didnt you just trade for marshall and washington like a day ago?

[twenty-eight]

remind me again why we are against a draft for FA???? I think it would fair and give us something else to do for a few weeks.....

agreed...or we could even all get online at once...and knock it out

Yeah I actually drafted him and was just using him as a filler for when I needed a 3B or Util. Then I saw his stats the other day and realized he is having the best season out of anyone on my team.

which one of these is the "top 5 player in the league" again?........

F/A draft would basically just be an extension of WtF waivers. (I'm guessing the draft order will be set by record again)

The norm for dynasties is a combined rookie/FA draft. We opted not to do that b/c FA is, well, FA, not waivers, not a draft, etc.

I'd much rather do the bbid than a FA draft but I'd rather do the current process than either of those options at this point.

phillip rivers finished 3rd overall last year w/ 350 pts.

drew brees was first, but i love the value of rivers.

Anyone need a qb.... King?

[Forehead]

I must be the only person in the league who just doesn't care about free agency that much. When you've already got perfection on your roster, I guess this is how you act. Calm and collected, while the rest of you nancies squabble like children over the leftovers, the dregs of the league.

Do whatever you guys need to, I foresee no changes to my team of awesome.

Edit* Apparently, I just hit the 2,000 post mark. How is "The Backup" ranked higher than "The Dirtbags?"

lmao, you're still trying to catch yesterday's fish? we may ave some screwed up scoring but we still don't give points for last yr's stats

and that "value" kind of takes a hit when what 8 of the "top 15" players are from the QB position.

either way, nice trade but hell, I'd have given you Shwabby, I don't have any nutcases really but I guess Bryant is ready to blow a gasket so, yeah Bryant, and a pack of gum which is basically what you got. ol' Nut may have done something right finally

but yeah, you may find your huckleberry in King

points for last year? cute.

considering rivers is 27, has consistently improved every year, is by far the highest rated QB in the league, and that 350 points, is 60 points higher than the 8th QB, so i consider him apart of the elite tier for years to come. He's also durable, something you can't say about shaub.

Im not one to say that that Nut got a bad or good trade. I think its fair.

I understand why he did it, and I think it was a good move. He has three dependable and consistent RBs to build around. And i've always believed in fantasy that consistency is what wins championships. Its the high flying teams that are inconsistent and predictatably lose in the first round of the playoffs.

I did it because Marshall is an elite level talent at the WR position. He, more than eddie royal, and alot of the receivers in his tier (including bryant), is just more talented. So, while other players will fade away after a couple of years due to changes in system, he will still be a flat out beast. TO was a "nutcase" and was traded around everywhere, and still beasted out everywhere. Given the right opportunity, i believe he will perform at a top 3 WR level. Without the opportunity, his baseline is top 10 (Im at least assuming he'll play this year).

Also, i've had a man crush on leon since he was drafted. And, with burner and bush gone, all my backs play significant roles in the passing game. Its a risk, but I believe my platoon can replace turner's output.

All speculation of course, but that's the fantasy.

oh, you drafted him? scratch that then. had to be my other yahoo league where i was watching him on waivers then. cuz i just let both leagues autopick.

[Drop]

just checking in....still don't care for the auction system even after hearing all the pros of it.

i just don't see the major flaw in the feeding frenzy. everything has flaws, this isn't god's fantasy football league, lol.
