Official Broncos Forums Fantasy Football League 2010

[dogfish]

Welcome to the 2010 edition! This is the forum's official fantasy league, and is open to all members-- but we are going to continue with the minimum of 500 posts as a baseline requirement for entry. I will consider exceptions if you've been here for a while and/or are active on a regular basis, but I'm really looking to restrict membership to BF regulars, as that is, after all, the point of the official Forums League. As we did last year, we'll break the league into smaller conferences that actually function as independent leagues (each conference will have it's own draft, pool of players, etc), and the overall league champion will be the conference winner that scores the most points in the championship game in week sixteen. Everyone who "registers" in this thread is welcome to play as long as we have even numbers to make the conferences, but it's going to be on a first-come first serve basis whether you played last year or not, so if you want to play you should let me know now.

I'm going to make Sep. 1st the tentative registration deadline, so if you want in now's the time to sign up! Once we get past, say, twenty entrants I will keep a running tally and update how many guaranteed spots are left-- we can accomodate as many as want to play, as long as we have even numbers that can easily be broken into multiple conferences (20, 24 30 etc). Reidman has graciously agreed to act as Commish of the second conference again this year.

EDIT: REGISTRATION CLOSED


Once we've got a final list, i'll draw names from a hat to determine who'll be in which conference, and then we'll send out invites and get everything set up. Since each conference will have its own draft, I won't be able to give you draft dates until we know who's in which group. Each conference will follow the exact same rules, which will be as follows (same rules as last year, for those who participated):


This is a standard head-to-head style league-- when I know the size of each conference, I'll let you know how many teams will make the playoffs. Week 16 will be the championship. We'll do a live, online draft-- 18 rounds, snaking each round. We'll be using fleaflicker again this year.

same response as last year...My time is mostly taken up with my money leagues. However, if you find you are a man short- let me know and I will play....I am your fall back/ last resort option.

[Softskull]

Uno mas por favor?

you're in. . .


:welcome:

[dogfish]

oh, and everyone please send me a PM with your email address so invites can be sent out (PM specifically please, not MHS). . .

[Reidman]

So same people in each division or are we starting completely over this year?
(randomly splitting everyone into 2 different leagues)

Also, I kinda set a draft date for Aug 28th since I wasn't really sure what
was happening yet...I noticed your deadline for sign-up is Sept 1st...oops!

I can change the draft date easily enough...

I've barely had time to even watch football related news so I am getting a very late start on the season...:shocked:

[gnomeflinger]

Is this to take place of Reidman's league or is this in addition to it?

yea, i'm super late on this-- my fault. . .

we are starting completely over, i want to do it that way each year. . . that way you only get players who are CURRENTLY interested,, as opposed to trying to maintain exact membership from year to year. . . prevents us from having non-members in the official forum league, and allows easy expansion/contraction of the conferences to reflect overall membership, etc etc. . .

i cleared out the membership of my league a while ago, you can go ahead and do the same any time. . .

is changing the draft date okay with you? i can move the registration deadline up a few days if not, but i'd like to keep it open long enough to at least get 20-24 members. . . if we reach one of those numbers early we can just close it at that point. . .

let me know if any of that doesn't work for you, and we'll figure something out. . .

[dogfish]

Is this to take place of Reidman's league or is this in addition to it?

reidman's league from last year was the western conference of this league. . . a couple years back i decided to split the official forum league this way, so that more people could play. . .

it's really just a fiction, but determining an overall champ this way does make it twice as competitive-- particualrly because you can easily end up facing a team that has one or two of the same best players you do. . .

anyway. . . once we have the total membership set for the year, i'll pick names from a hat to see who plays in which conference. . . but whether you play in reid's conference again this year or mine, the rules and rosters will be identical to what you played with last year. . .

make sense?

[Reidman]

No problem dog. I'll change the draft date to match that of your league, makes it more standardized that way anyway...

I Will go ahead and wipe last year's rosters clean also.:salute:

So how close are we to having our leagues set up and finalizing a draft date? We've got about two weeks to get shit squared away and get this show on the road.

Do we have enough for at least 10 people per conference? If so, just shut it down and schedule the draft for next Sunday!

good call. . .

also, take down your email before the bots grab it and you're geting spammed. . .

[SR]

Come on people! Sign up for this damn thing so we can get a draft date set!!! Next weekend is the last weekend before the regular season!

[honz]

Drafting early not all it cracked up to be. I've already lost Sidney Rice and Michael Bush to injuries.

[SR]

No different than losing starters for the season in week two. At least you have the waiver wire to use as your friend once the season fires up. Last year I picked Roddy White up off of waivers and he did great for me, as did Kevin Boss and the Jets defense...

Who the hell puts roddy white and the jets D on waivers?

[SR]

I think I may have drafted the Jets D, but I don't remember. I definitely picked up Roddy White off waivers though. It was around week four or five. My team sucked. My only good players were Big Ben, Andre Johnson, Matt Forte and Ryan Grant (who both had shitty years), and the Jets D. The rest of my team blew. I think I finished second or third from the bottom in a 12 team league. I blame it on the internet though. I was TDY to Ft Benning, GA, and my wifi wasn't working right so I couldn't download the java script I needed for the draft room and I never ranked my players...so I drafted a bunch of crap.

[Jaws]

So are we having this draft this Sunday?

[dogfish]

okay, sparkie has joined. . .

:welcome:


that gets us to twenty, i'm going to close registration now. . . i will try to have conference assignments up sometime today, and we'll get draft dates set up and posted as soon as possible. . .

[SR]

Figures. I'm gonna be in Denver this weekend and won't be able to participate in a live draft if we have one.

[Reidman]

Dog, email me the info if you would when you get the conferences sorted and draft date figured out.

[dogfish]

Dog, email me the info if you would when you get the conferences sorted and draft date figured out.

will do. . . but go ahead and set your own draft date whenever it works for you, doesn't have to be the same. . . mine may have to get squeezed in at kind of an odd hour because my schedule for the next couple weeks is getting f'n cramped. . . so don't wait for me. . .


oh, and make sure you show up to your own draft. . .

:heh:

[dogfish]

okay, conferences are as follows:

EASTERN CONFERENCE

dogfish
skinny
softskull
mr. B
devilspawn
sharkie
sanluis
Manchesterbronc
gnomeflinger
sparkie

WESTERN CONFERENCE

reidman
broncophan
girler
AWIK
GEM
seeingred
honz
Tned
hardwired
chidoze


reid, i'll get you those emails in a bit. . .

[dogfish]

So are we having this draft this Sunday?

and yes, i believe the eastern conference will probably draft on sunday, a little later in the day. . . looks like that's the only time i'm gonna be able to do it. . .

[SR]

Reid...maybe we can do ours Sunday evening around 8pm MST?

[gnomeflinger]

and yes, i believe the eastern conference will probably draft on sunday, a little later in the day. . . looks like that's the only time i'm gonna be able to do it. . .

Sunday works for me. No earlier than 1PM Pacific time would be ideal.

[gnomeflinger]

Dog, skinny, spawn, AND Mr.B? Dammit, I'm screwed. :faint:

[dogfish]

Dog, skinny, spawn, AND Mr.B? Dammit, I'm screwed. :faint:

sharkie's a vicious FF player also. . . :D

[dogfish]

Sunday works for me. No earlier than 1PM Pacific time would be ideal.

it's going to be later-- probably around 4:30 PTish, but it won't let me set the draft time until the league has some members-- so accept those invites as soon as you get 'em, peeps. . .

[Jaws]

4.30 = 12.30a.m our time which would be just about manageable for the three over ponders in the Eastern Conference too.

Definitely better than the 2.am draft I got up for in my other league!

[Jaws]

Does the draft order get set randomly?

[ManchesterBroncoLUHG]

I'll be around for the first hour or so if it's 4.30PT start. I'll have to set to auto draft after that. That'll make it 1.30am our time and I'm in work at 9am and ManchesterBronco needs beauty sleep before he starts on a Monday. :coffee:

[dogfish]

yes. . .





and then i go in with my special commish powers and get the spot i want. . .

:elefant:

A 10 team draft shouldn't take more than an hour as long as the allotted time per pick is set to a reasonable amount, like 1:30.

[ManchesterBroncoLUHG]

A 10 team draft shouldn't take more than an hour as long as the allotted time per pick is set to a reasonable amount, like 1:30.

Oh yeah it's only 10 teams isnt it. No too bad then. I've just done a couple of 16 teams ones. They don't half drag.

[dogfish]

A 10 team draft shouldn't take more than an hour as long as the allotted time per pick is set to a reasonable amount, like 1:30.

i'm not sure what reid sets it at, but the allotted time is one minute flat in my draft. . .


:shocked:


it's actually been that way for a few years now, and no one has complained about it yet. . .

[dogfish]

Oh yeah it's only 10 teams isnt it. No too bad then. I've just done a couple of 16 teams ones. They don't half drag.

i run one league that's 16 teams, and we draft a full slate of IDPs. . .

twenty-five rounds. . . :D

[dogfish]

come on, somebody else accept your eastern conference invite so i can set up the draft. . .

[Reidman]

Ok, invites have been sent to everyone in my league.

SR, an 8pm draft time is a little late, especially since I wouldn't make it and that kind of goes against the commish bylaws lol. Anyway I was thinking more along the lines of a 3PM draft my time (PST). I could stretch it to 4 but that would be cutting it close for me getting to work.

Still not sure if I want to set it for Saturday or Sunday. That's still up for negotiation.

Dog, how do I change the amount of time per pick?

[gnomeflinger]

sharkie's a vicious FF player also. . . :D

Yes, yes she is. Thanks for making me feel better, dog :eviltongue:

Alright...well count me out of the live draft then. I'll be driving back to Rapid from Denver from noon until about 6pm Sunday.

for anyone who can't make the draft, i HIGHLY recommend pre-ranking some players. . . fleaflicker's autodrafts can be pretty sketchy. . .

east as well. . . i'm going to send out PMs to make sure people got the invites. . .


also, reid, remember to reset your league size to ten if you haven't already, so you don't have empty slots. . .

I'll PM people too.

Thanks Girler...:salute:

EDIT: Ok, PM'd those who have not signed up yet.
After we have everybody signed up we can draft which has been set for Sunday 9/5 @ 6:30PM (est).

[Jaws]

If you need anyone to chase or nibble our remaining two conference players (San Luis & ManchesterBroncos)- as a Broncos and Liverpool fan it will be my utmost pleasure! ;)

[Jaws]

One more to go in our conference I believe.
Western all signed up I see.
And Gem with 1st pick yes?

[gnomeflinger]

Um, I hope draft happens before Thursday.

[Jaws]

Not sure why ManchesterBronc hasn't signed up - unless he thinks he already has. He said he was looking forward to the draft.

[ManchesterBroncoLUHG]

Sorry, I didn't realise that I had to sign up again. I thought it ran over from last time.

Signed up now. Cheers for the heads up Sharkie

[Jaws]

Dogfish 1st pick - fix ;)

Drafting 10th in both my leagues.

Quite like drafting 10th to be honest.

This random draft is not very random really is it - as far as I see, apart from yourself - the order of draft is just the reverse of the order in which we joined up.

[ManchesterBroncoLUHG]

So is it 4.30 PT then the draft?

[dogfish]

So is it 4.30 PT then the draft?

7 PM, eastern time. . .

Nice one thats half an hour more I get in bed.

[gnomeflinger]

This should be interesting. I totally forgot last year's draft and got stuck with auto draft. I did end up with some good players that way, but having a choice should be good times.

[ManchesterBroncoLUHG]

I missed the draft last year because of the time difference and this is the first one I've done with Americans rather than English people so go easy if I make some strange decisions. My plan is to get a quality kicker in the first 3 rounds.

Do you think so? But that would mean giving up either a :defense: or TE. Decisions decisions, I can see this going all wrong. :confused:

Don't forget to draft a goalkeeper and a striker too.

[dogfish]

good draft, everybody. . . it's rare to have everyone show up, and i especially appreciate people being able to make it with both the draft and the league itself kind of coming together at the last moment. . . worked out, though, so good luck to all and here's to a great season. . .

i looked over the league, and saw some pretty badass teams-- definitely looking forward to the competition. . .

Spawn took more of mine than other people did. Except for dog stealing the Vik's from me. :tsk:

[SR]

For not being able to participate in the live draft, I am definitely happy with who I picked up. My QBs are a question mark with Schaub and Cutler. My WRs could either do really well or not well at all, depending. I'm pretty stacked at RB. TE I'm good. K is meh...not usually gonna win or lose a game because of a kicker. Defense is eh. But what can I say...I wasn't there so I can't complain. I'm glad I drafted Ryan Matthews though. He's my sleeper pick.

schaub's a legit top-five QB. . .

[SR]

He is, but I would rather have had a few different guys. I'll probably hang on to Cutler as well. Overall, I'm pretty pleased with my roster. Last year, I didn't get shit out of the draft and ended up either second or third from last in the 12 team league. IMO, my roster is pretty competitive. A lot of the teams are fairly stacked, which is good and which is why I am glad we capped the leagues at 10 teams. Should be pretty competitive.

I had Schaub in my queue and you snatched him so great auto pick.

One of these seasons I will be there for the live draft. I think though this is probably the best I've ever picked up....but that's not saying much either.

Next time, let's not have the draft day on a disc golf tourny weekend....;)

I hope not! I don't think he will though. Ryan Matthews is the premier back for SD...Thomas Jones also has Charles and the other guy to compete for time with.

[SR]

And for the record, I should have started Cutler, but I listened to everyone when they said "start Schaub" instead of going with my gut. This week would've been a lock for me if I would've played Cutler.

[girler]

It's been a tight game, but I think I must stop fighting now and concede to GEM. :salute:

It's sad to score 125 points and still loose by 50. YEOUCH!!! :worship:

I think I went something like three games last year with really good points totals but still coming away with a loss.
Whereas this year I get a win with just 88 points.

Strange old game!

How does fleaflicker determine waiver priority?

Dog, Reid?

[dogfish]

How does fleaflicker determine waiver priority?

Dog, Reid?

i'm not finding an in-writing description, but i believe it's set in inverse order after the draft, and you're dropped to lowest waiver priority/end of the list every time you claim someone off waivers. . .

for example, jaws made the last waiver claimin our league, and she's now listed as tenth waiver priority (it's listed under the stats column on the league's home page). . . gnomey hasn't made any waiver claims, and right now she has top priority. . .

That seems right.
I had 1st priority after the draft due to drafting 10th.
Now after picking up a couple of players on waivers I've dropped to 10th waiver priority.

[dogfish]

also, FTR. . . i'm in a fleaflicker league that i don't commish, and i see that the waiver priority was set by inverse league rank (aka, last place + 1st waiver priority). . .and then after the beginning of the week, making a successful claim drops you to the bottom of the list. . . i'm not positive, but IIRC it re-sets every week. . .

i am NOT a fan of that, in the least! i understand that the idea is to create more parity, but IMO it unfairly penalizes those who drafted good teams by effectively preventing them from EVER making any worthwhile waiver wire additions. . . as far as i'm concerned, players who are doing well still deserve some chance to make upgrades to their rosters through savvy waiver wire management. . .

[Reidman]

A fantasy football first for me...

5 leagues....5 opening week wins!

Yea...I hate Favre......live and learn, I guess.....
I am sure when I sit him he will throw for 300 yards and 4 td's...

You drop Manning and Clark and I drop Collie. Fair? ;)

hell of a game, skinny. . .

we're the league's top two scorers so far. . .


:beer:


No doubt. It's been neck and neck since the coin flip.

still the top two scorers. . . i need six points from mason crosby-- let's hope for a couple of field goals early, before that offense gets going. . .


:D

[Devilspawn]

I need a low scoring low stat game tomorrow from both parties.

[Jaws]

35 pts from Collie helped quite a bit.
Good close game Gnomey :beer:

:DUh, let's not. :D

[Sparkie]

Anyone else been absolutely killed in a fantasy game this season by just ONE of their opponent's players scoring 40-50 points by themselves?

I have, and it's happened 3 weeks running ... :rain:

Here's Pippi's Panthers' Nemesis Hall of Infamy 2010:

Week 1: A. Foster RB HOU ..... 55.8 (Dogfish)
Week 2: J. Best RB DET ....... 50.2 (Softskull)
Week 3: A. Peterson RB MIN ... 40 (MancBronc)

Not criticising at all the way the scoring's been set up in the league, 'cos it's good fun - well done, Commish :salute: - the FF scoring makes it interesting to follow games even when losing. In fact, yesterday I was paying more attention to the FF scores than to the NFL scores themselves. :madgrin: And even tho' I'm a rookie on an L-streak the FF experience is really enjoyable so far.

It just sucks to be killed by ONE player EVERY week! :uh: :hurt:

Hopefully in weeks to come one of those mighty killers will be one of *my* RBs ... ;)

it's not incredibly common, but it obviously does happen. . . you've just had a bit of a run of bad luck. . .

[Jaws]

I call it the curse of the monster running back. A baptism of fire for sure.Everything happens in threes, so maybe she's gotten it out of the way!

[BroncoWave]

I was offered Marques Colston for Chad Ochocinco in my league. Ocho was way more points so far but that was skewed by his big week 1 in garbage time. Since then Colston has been better. Should I pull the trigger?

[SR]

I absolutely would.

[BroncoWave]

Just realized I put this in the wrong thread. Thanks though SR!

if it makes you feel any better, i just lost with the second-highest score in the league this week. . . :drinking:

lost by less than two points, on a damn blocked field goal of all the stupid things. . .

SMH


good game, skinny. . .

[Skinny]

Good game hophead.

[SR]

T, you're going down this week.

[Sparkie]

Sharkie's lookin' mean ... she's changed her avatar for a less squishable look. :scared:
Methinks the fish is starting her Week 5 Whiskybowl smack a week early! :laugh: :madgrin:

Or should "smack" in this context be "snack"? ... :croc:

:bolt:

Lol. I've been known to snack on Raider legs in the past - and as I'm playing Devilspawn in both of my leagues this week- very apt!

[gnomeflinger]

To all the naysayers of my draft pick for Darren McFadden

:eviltongue:

He's is now the #3 rated RB of the NFL

Suck that!

:heh:

[SR]

He still plays for the Raiders...and I still wouldn't have him on my team.







But then again, I try to keep Broncos off my team too.

I keep forgetting what team he plays for. All I know is he gives me good numbers each week.

The only Bronco I have on my team is Prater.

[SR]

I picked up Lloyd off of waivers, but he's a backup to a backup.

She was never fooling me with that squishable BS.

[SR]

Thanks for waiving Terrell Owens girler.

[Jaws]

Thanks for waiting Terrell Owens girler.

I'm just glad he's sitting on Devilspawn's bench in my weekly match up and not putting up points against me.

[honz]

Started Torain in a league today...no guts, no glory...bitches.

[girler]

Thanks for waiting Terrell Owens girler.

Oh shut up. :tsk:

[Jaws]

Started Torain in a league today...no guts, no glory...bitches.

I picked him up last week, but he's sitting on my bench with Portis. Should have started him.

Looks like the Vick bubble has burst for me and his injury is going to cost me this week's game.

[honz]

Yeah, I have Vick in a league 2. Started him over Orton, and his injury does not look good.

[SR]

Oh shut up. :tsk:

I got 39.2 points from him today. :shocked:

It's ok though, Tned is kicking my ass.

[Buff]

Glad I started Lee Evans today and received a whopping zero points in return.

[Jaws]

Sparkie could you get that good for nothing Card Qb to throw it to your Fitz or Hightower? I need them to start putting a huge dent in the Bolts D total who have a whopping 32pts for Devilspawn.

Looks like the Bolts D are this week's monster team member :D :scared:
Yes, of course fishie. :salute: That QB needs a li'l bit of toothyshark "encouragement"!! :laugh: I'm waiting for the Cards O to wake up too! :tsk:

[Tned]

Man, I think I will win this matchup, but will probably lose my other four this week. Vick and McFadden both hurt, along with bad decisions on several personnel moves.

Devilspawn and a couple of dastardly Bolts players are murdering me in my other league as well!
Wah!

Lost count of the number of sacks the Bolts D have gotten against the Cards.
Wondering if they've decided to play without an O line?

[Northman]

I picked up Torain. He looked pretty good out there today and with Portis ailing he might be the guy down the road for Shanny.

[Skinny]

I hope the FF gods fart in Jay Cutlers general direction tonight. I could use a little help.

[Tned]

I need Cutler to have a horrible night. I'm going up against him in two leagues.

[gnomeflinger]

I'm willing to sacrifice the Giants having a bad night to keep the lead I have against Dogfish. He has Randy Moss in tomorrow, which could end up deciding the match up this week.

Ahmad Bradshaw, I hate you.

:D


Shush it now. I'm trying to maintain my dignity here. :cool:

[SR]

Not like I had any remote chance of catching you anyway. I would've needed Cutler AND Welker to have PHENOMENAL nights.

[Tned]

Not like I had any remote chance of catching you anyway. I would've needed Cutler AND Welker to have PHENOMENAL nights.

In my other league up against mtnman, he was within striking distance. I think I am going 2-3 this week. Bad week.
