Fantasy Football '09

I had 2nd pick in one of my leagues last year. It was great because I got AP, but it felt like I had to wait forever to get my next pick.

Last year = Year of the Wideout
This year = Year of the Pats

I went over the top with Pats this year. I'll try not to do that in the Jacket league.

Draft is Wednesday. Woo-hoo!

Draft is Wednesday. Woo-hoo!

I wasn't sure if it would work out, but I will in fact be able to make the draft.

Did we discuss upping our bench by a couple of extra slots? We have 7 BN spots now.

I just finished my other draft that has 7 BN slots, but we're using team DEF over there. Seems like we may want a couple of extra slots since we're using IDPs.

My dumb-ass didn't draft a backup K or DEF because I was trying to load up on RBs and WRs. I also got a backup QB and TE though.

Ruckus for double ass award.
Something came up so I can't draft tomorrow.  Sorry guys.  I got a buddy going for me tomorrow.  He's a fantasy guru but don't let him act the fool and pretend to be me. ;D

Happy Drafting everyone

Seems to me that 7 bench spots is already too much with 12 teams.  But I've never done ISP before so I don't know. I'm not sure i can draft line tonight and there is nothing worse than autopick. Bummer.

[corey]

Can you get someone else to fill in for you?

[Jon T.]

Possibly. Will it mess anything up if I autodraft?  I should find out in next couple hours if I can do it live or not.

[aMillionDreams]

Seven bench slots is fine.  

It won't mess anything up for us if you autodraft, but you'll have to deal with taking a K in the ninth round (no way to get around that in yahoo autodrafts)

[corey]

I like the idea of having at least an extra bench slot because I like to have a couple of my slots for RBs and another slot or two for WRs, but if you guys think we're good with 7 then I guess that'll fly. It just makes me nervous since we have extra players on the roster this year.  :-/

[aMillionDreams]

That's true, one more might be called for with the new positions.  You make the call commish, but make it soon.  We draft in a matter of hours.

[corey]

Yeah, I started to freak out about it last night which is why I posted to get a response from you guys. One more slot would really make me calm down a bit. 2 would probably be overkill.

[Jon T.]

That will give us 20 man rosters. With 12 teams there wont //be shit left on waivers. I'm good either way just something to think about. I think I'm good to go tonight!

All I need is a starting lineup so "it don't matter to the jesus "  ;D

[corey]

Good point. But we'll all have some holes on the bench if we don't have 8 bench spots.
I'm sure we all want a backup QB with at least one if not two RBs. Let's say we take an extra TE as well. That's 4 players without an extra WR.
Shit. This IDP thing is makin' me nervous.  :)

Where's Headdy? I'm sure he has an opinion.  ;D

[Killgies]

20 man rosters are deep. Agree with others that there will be nothing left on waivers. If nothing else it will keep people from hording IDP players.
:D

[corey]

I changed it to 8 a little while ago. Now I feel like I'm being strong-armed into changing it back to 7.  But hey, majority rules.  :)

[Killgies]

It's your league Corey, I'm cool with almost any rules as long as they are set before the draft.
;D
