Fantasy Football
ChadTower:
Been playing fantasy football for nearly 20 years. We made up our own rules for the first few years because it was a fringe offshoot of rotisserie baseball.
Over the years I've learned that few things are more boring to hear about than somebody else's fantasy team. :laugh2:

Too true,
Most exciting topic to talk about, your own Fantasy team.
Most boring topic to hear about, someone else's Fantasy team.
Having said that though, I'd be happy to critque trade offers and draft strategies here! :)
I'll start:
12 Team, 1/2 point PPR, 6 Pts per TD, able to keep up to 3 players, those players would account for your first 3 draft picks. Draft is in reverse order last years finishing order and then snakes, but 4th Round restarts with the last place team again picking first. So Last place team picks: 1st, last, 1st, 1st, last, 1st, last, 1st, etc.
My Definite keepers:
Jamaal Charles - Slotted to be top 5 pick on most draft boards, loved him last year, think will be better this year
Peyton Manning - Slotted to be 2nd/3rd round on most draft boards assuming is healthy, consistent points, had him for years
My two other keeper options are basically Austin Collie (often banged up receiver for Indy) and Santonio Holmes (#1 WR for run first Jets). Both are round 4-6 guys and have questions, so I'll probably drop them and try to grab another good RB and then load on WR's. Keep in mind though that many other teams will be keeping the better players, though some teams are so stacked that players like Frank Gore, Miles Austin, Michael Turner, could be available in the draft. I finished 4th from bottom, so will have a decent draft pick, but couple teams (like last place team) will be cutting entire roster and picking in front of me. But 3rd and 4th rounds I will have early picks, so leaning towards keeping only two.
General draft strategy tip for above format: Review rosters and try to figure out who will be keeping what players, so you can get an idea of the players that will be available to you. You won't be 100% accurate, but if a player DOES drop someone you thought they should be keeping, it's one more player potentially available to YOU. Try to limit surprises and stupid picks.
Feedback? :)

It's like poker. Everyone has stories of bad beats and wild wins. Nobody cares to hear about somebody else's stories because they lived through both sides of them.
Most of the stories revolve around some player in the playoffs who blows up for 4 TDs that hadn't scored 4 TDs in 6 years total. Or it happens to a guy that's trying to make the playoffs or knocks a guy out of the playoffs. I've had about 40 teams through the years and it evens out over time.

I'd say people's half-baked knowledge of their family background... whenever someone starts saying, "I'm 1/16th Dutch on my..." it's time to leave the room because everyone in this country is 2/3s Irish and has a black great grandfather and lies about it.

Just to log my misery so far this season:
My Keepers from last year:
- Peyton Manning - Repeated neck surgeries, played 0 games, out for season
- Jamaal Charles - played 1 full game, season ending knee injury in week 2
My starting lineup:
- Brandon Lloyd - Leg issues, didn't play week 2, iffy week 3
- Dez Bryant - Leg issues, lesser role, pulled from my lineup as was iffy going into week 3
- Kenny Britt - played 2 full games, season ending knee injury in week 3
I fear for my TE Vernon Davis, he is next in line for a season ending issue.
Woot! :hissy:
