The Swamp

So I renewed the Fantasy Football League on Yahoo. This year to make sure we have people who actually want to play, you must post here, pm, email me your intention to play by this Friday midnight. After that I will take folks who are interested to replace those who are not.

Please post your team's name so I don't have to think too hard to let me know you are in.

For those who are interested, post here your interest in joining and I will use that for the order of letting new folks in (note: I may expand the league size if we have folks who are interested above the normal league and/or restart the Unknown Championship League for promotion/relegation).

Bfj...you are in. louthegiantrat is out

I know I was in in one of the lower leagues last time.

In like Mappers Delight

L'equipe Canadienne est de retour!

This is my yearly letter to the league to request 2 permanent leagues with fewer teams in each if possible.

BRING BACK RELEGATION

Rass Monkey - in

(not sure how often the defending champ lurks here, but maybe winning last season earns an email from the commish before being booted just in case - there are a couple of other players in the same position but it's not as clear that they were active last season)

I will not throw people out without emailing them (i.e. how I know louthegiantrat was dropping out). Just trying to get ducks in a row.

I would play if you all need a spot added or replacing a team.

Have never jumped in before.

We had fourteen last year. Wlu - we could take the 8 highest placers from last season i one league, and the rest plus whoever else wants to play could be in the other league.

Thoughts?

Back in yee old days of the swamp we had 3 full leagues of 14 teams (After one year where we had 20 or so in one league). Promotion-Relegation was tough but worked. 14 worked well because 13 regular season games and 3 playoff games (and no week 17). With a week 18 it changes the math a bit.

Let's see how we are standing at the end of the week. My preference is maximize participation in whatever way we can. So if we need to split to two equal leagues, unbalanced, or one big league where trades and waiver wire become more important. We will figure it out.

I'd play if there's a minor leagues

In.

and I can probably pull in some sometime swampers for lower league spots if need be.

Hey, wlu. Any chance we could hold our draft on a date other than Labor Day?

Sure..put a recommendation out

How about the same time on Sunday the 5th or Tuesday the 7th.

ETA: I guess maybe the 7th is bad because it’s Rosh Hashanah, but really any day before that works for me.

Shit am I not in? I got invitees for the pick 'em and survivor. FERDA (said sadly)

Whatever you pick is fine with me.

accepted invite and in. Prob gonna fade drafting Akers and Dobbins. And Chase.

Running 14-team mocks on yahoo. Gonna come into the league on fire and prepared. All focus. Biting all the fucking kneecaps I can find.

Awwright, TB. Bringing the piss and vinegar! We need that in this league!

Oooooooo, an "A-" for the 14-team mock I just did. And from middle position too. You all are so fucked.

Maybe you should have done a mock 16-team draft.....

yahoo doesn't offer those. I will extrapolate and raise my grade to an "A+"

The only strategy I've come up with is to only draft quarterbacks

To go along with our draft...feel free to talk trash via Google Meet

I hate my team already. 16 teams is…something

I mean, I’ve got Brady. That should finish him.

I take it back. My team rules.

Nope, yahoo says my team sucks. "C". Better luck next year and all that.

Yahoo’s grades are meaningless.

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.
