Yeah, drafting at the same time as the money league I commish does not equal good results. Thanks Yahoo for drafting me two kickers!

I thought Easterby took over your drafting when you were first to draft a kicker.

Maybe you needed a live DMB performance in front of you to focus in.

OTOH I think I killed my other draft.

This is the worst looking team I've had in 20 years of fantasy football.

I think...

Like an idiot, I waited until the usual round when I'd take a QB forgetting that there were 16 teams. Hence: Tannehill and Jameis
Those are fine QBs. Most fantasy sharps have Tannehill top 12.

Yeah, 16 man league, I'd be fine with that. Tannehill will have some big games, and from what I've read, Titans will throw more this year. I think Winston has big upside potential, and for a backup in a 16 man league, that's as good as you could hope for IMO. Winston put up huge numbers his final season in Tampa, but he threw a lot of interceptions. He got Lasik surgery after that season and said it made a huge difference. We shall see. If he is able to dump it off to Kamara, that's a huge book of YAC yardage piling up.

I had to draft via phone (wife got nausea at kid's soccer practice) and lucky me the app prefers wifi so it kept dropping me out. So I'm ok with some things and have big problems with Yahoo's rankings and who it had me select.

But as the Yahoo grader stated, C is for championships.

A-...Got the best draft badge...nice. Big optimism from the automatic story generator for the D'Bricks

tennbengal · Post by **tennbengal** » Wed Sep 08, 2021 1:28 pm

I enjoyed the new league admitee hazing of picking 14th. That was swell.

Also, was drafting in another league at same time on CBS site (auction) and the CBS system had a massive crash last night about 9:00. So my league there melted down w/ emails and phone calls in the middle of trying to do the yahoo draft. It was...sub-optimal.

Not only that but...the pickings are SLIM on the waiver wire in a 16-team league. I would take a top 3 pick 100 times out of 100 over being top 3 in wavier priority post-draft in such a deep league...

Giff · Post by **Giff** » Wed Sep 08, 2021 2:03 pm

My team is actually pretty awesome I think for that big a league. Should go undefeated tbh.

Until the top pick breaks his leg in week 1 (and considering BFJ has McCaffery as my week #1 opponent I can hope)

Well, who knows?

I once won a pool with Eli at QB, so anything is possible.

Good point. Maybe in the middle of the 1st drive he has an epiphany, decides to retire and spend his remaining days putting forth all of his effort to making the world a better place (including promotion and partnership with Pathfinders).

I don’t think that was hazing, since I picked 13th and I’ve been around since we started the Swamp leagues.

(A-, btw)

Should have kept my mouth shut as I had a player go down with long-term injury in the first game (glad he was the back up qb)

sancarlos · Post by **sancarlos** » Tue Sep 14, 2021 12:21 pm

Second highest score in the swamp league. Lost by one.

In my money league I’ve lost two starters to season ending injuries now.

Gotta love it

Every season when I think about switching this league from Yahoo I get suckered into the record book and think..man I would hate to drop that history.

I'm pretty much picking names after the first 5 or 6 rounds, so in Round 14 a friend said "why not just annoy (other friend) and pick McCaffery's handcuff" so I did and we laughed and now we're laughing again.
