I'm tempted to keep Wilson and try to trade him.

DSafe, are there trades prior to declaring keepers?

Andrew luck fucked me in my keeper league last year.

I know! Looks worse!

Does seem like a fun league. Looking forward to the season.

It is a good league. Wait until you start getting the weekly Stick's Picks. Each game is handicapped with an explanation of why Stick is picking the winners, along with a recap and running total of winnings/losing on the bets. Trash talking is at a minimum, but always appreciated. Don't be shy as the new guy to give people shit, even if the rest of the league is quiet.

That is fucking hilarious. According to the ridiculous statistical analysis on the CBS draft recap, Sabo had the worst draft in the league. I scored well, so they obviously aren't including keepers in the analysis. They really love Jordan Reed, listing him as the best selection in the draft, but his history of injuries worries me. And CBS is really down on using the 14th overall pick to select a player (Dion Lewis) who is on the PUP list because he is going in for a second surgery for a torn ACL.

Also, nice debut by Giff, who scored the second-most points with 109 and leads DSafetyGuy by 37. DSG has Roethlisberger and Gurley yet to play, so Giff could have a good debut and lose.

Both Giff and Syb won this week* against opponents who were either tied or just behind me in the standings, and DSafetyGuy did his best dead dog impression while playing against my squad. The assortment of results means I've clinched a playoff spot and should have the number one seed in my division.

Thanks, frogs!

* Syb's victory assumes Davante Adams doesn't lose five fumbles tonight while gaining less than 10 yards, and my victory assumes Zach Ertz doesn't lose 12 fumbles while gaining less than 10 yards. You never know!

Sabo, since you clinched the division, you should rest your starters next week. If I win, I grab the last playoff spot, assuming tiebreaker is H2H. I haven't been paying attention to standings, but I thought Giff was good. Then I took a look last week. Wha' Happened?

I owe a lot to Sammy Watkins, whose four points was a great return of investment on a first-round pick. I owe less to Danny Woodhead, Donte Moncrief, Travis Benjamin, and Jeff Fisher's incompetence in hiring an offensive coordinator.

About the only damn things I did right this year was use Kaepernick as a streamer for a week and pick up Devontae Booker before CJ Anderson got hurt.

There you go, Syb. There's a chance I can lose the top seed. Therefore, I'm trotting out a full strength squad this weekend.

BRING IT.

You mutherfucking better.

On an unrelated note, I'm truly sorry for trash-talking your more superior brand of Bobcats.

Sabo, Sybian, and Giff (the defending champion) are all in this league. League details:

12 teams, 16-man roster, 9 players in active lineup (QB, 2RB, 2WR, RB/WR, TE, K, D/ST)

Two six-team divisions, top three in each division make playoffs, which run weeks 14-16. Division winners get byes in Week 14. East playoff champ faces West playoff champ for title in Week 16. East playoff runner-up faces West playoff runner-up for third place in Week 16.

As of last year, it was $50 (non-Swamp bucks) with $300 for first, $120 for second, and $50.05 for third (the rest pays for CBS website). CBS nudged their fee up this year and the other commissioner and I have not figured out what we will do, but I am leaning toward nudging the entry up to $60 with accompanying increases to the prizes. I know many of you hate CBS' website (and I hate them every first Sunday of the NFL season when their site inevitably crashes, as well as their failure to tweak their waiver cycle that hurts our twice-weekly waivers because of Thursday night games), but we like the league history.

You take over an existing roster, from which you keep any three players with no penalty. You can keep them for as many seasons as you like.

If we follow our usual calendar, the 13-round snake draft on Sunday, August 26 at 9:00pm Eastern.

Non-PPR, 6 points for all TDs, yardage bonuses.

Let me know if interested or if you have any questions.

Yeah, who bailed? This is only the third best league I've been in, but my team sucks. On the plus side, we get the most detailed betting analysis of every game before hand, and a recap. And trash talk is appreciated.
