Dude last year was my first auction draft ever and I was never in that position so I didn't know and no one ever talked about it.

Just a FYI:

It's no coincidence that I have 5 RB's on my roster who are the bell cows of their respective teams.

While I am willing to trade one of these backs, I'm unwilling to take some slapdick(s) in return.

I'm deep at the position, and intend to stay that way unless someone offers a starting caliber WR as part of a deal.

Thank you.

Good night.

And God Bless America.

I have three very solid WRs and two solid QBs, so I'm open to trading for a RB if something works for you.

That's the thing: Im not desperate for a WR. Sure, mine aren't sexy, but they should get the job done. They shouldnt need to do much considering I have three Top 8 backs starting.

I'm sure as shit not giving up Brown and Benson for trash like Boldin and Meachem.

I'll look at your roster though.

I have a feeling there are going to be some very rb hungry teams in the league this year.

It sucks dick that after the draft.....Jonathan Stewart twists his ankle. Now I'm praying that Bradshaw and Lynch go down.

Marshall is the only WR I'd be interested in, but I doubt I'd be willing to meet your price. Again, I'm just not desperate.

I'll just out it out there - Brown or Benson can be had, along with one of my WR's for a quality WR.

If anyone is interested, you know what to do.

If not, I'm perfectly content with my team as-is. I'm sitting pretty, IMO.

I'll probably offer you a trade 2 weeks into the season when half my veteran team goes down with pulled hammies and strained groins.

No problem. As the season gets started, we'll see how things shake out and go from there.

Oh, and I forgot to say "**** you" for driving up the price on Matt Ryan.

Dick.

CP theory. Draft two and trade one. :D

QB is my only real weakness, and even then, I wouldn't be shocked if Cutler threw for 4K and 30 this year.

Think I'm going to stay put. I like the way I have things set up.

If I can upgrade slightly at WR, great. If not, I still feel I'm going to be a nightmare matchup on a weekly basis.

just looking at the divisions.

I got pretty lucky being in the division that I am in. Hootie's team sucks and DaKcman has no rbs.

I think i match up with all those other teams well.

Actually, those aren't set in stone. I had to reset things because for some reason, two teams were scheduled for a bye each week. I was going to split it up based on last years standings, but can't get to it until late afternoon.

Put Hootie in as the automatic last place team.

I'd let someone else take over Hootie's team.

Done. Schedule is set for the season.

Who the **** would want to take over that trainwreck?

I actually set those according to the standings last year. 1st place team in 1 division, 2nd in the other, 3rd in the 1st, 4th in the other and so on....

figured that was about as fair as it could get.

THANKS ALOT ASSHOLES.

It must have gotten reset when I bumped the draft back. I went in to look at the schedule, and there were two teams that had a bye each week.

It's set that way now, ready to roll. Figured since I still have LM access it was easier to just take a sec to fox it instead of PM'ing you to do it.

Well, that was based on him taking the draft seriously.

He didn't. I'm more than happy to replace him, but who the hell is going to want that roster?

I'll contact CrazyCoffey, I think he might be up to the challenge.

I put cabletech on dakcman's account as second owner in an attempt to have someone available for the draft but that didn't work.We could ask him if he wants to be transferred to hooties and then we can delete hootie's stupid ass.

That is what i would do.

Anyone who thinks Hootie is going to take his team seriously needs to get their head checked. He checked out of the draft after MJD, Brees and Graham.

I mean, I assume whoever takes over his team will keep that spot for next year if they want it.

So that's it,I was just getting ready to post and see what had happened as yesterday my first game was against dipshit.

What do you guys think so far?

I think you're in the wrong ****ing thread.

****, it's too early to be posting.

Sweet. I can't believe i actually got Shady's backup for $1. McCoy seems to get hurt enough to justify me owning his backup.

And Russel Wilson better be this year's Cam Newton.

Just saw that ESPN now has a League Manager Toolkit that includes a "grading" of your league's draft.

LMAO

Exactly why I posted this. Sofa King can go in and verify that I didn't change any of the grades - this is exactly how it was spit out.

I just checked. OTWP is mostly correct. He did however change my grade from an A++ to a C+.

That's ok though, because i really do fear success.

LMAO

I did not.

Where'd you guys find that?

It's a new Toolkit for those with League Manager access.

D reaffirmed.

I challenge you all to find a team in this league as 4-deep at RB and WR as my team.

Trent Richardson
DeMarco Murray
Benjarvus Green-Ellis
Beanie Wells
(Michael Bush)

Victor Cruz
Antonio Brown
Jeremy Maclin
Reggie Wayne

Nobody? Thanks for playing.

(Seriously, guys, ****ing Hootie's been talking more trash than any of you. Get with the program and start crowing)

NZoner is pretty good as well. He has me beat on RBs pretty solidly, but I have an edge on WRs.

Jamaal Charles
Fred Jackson
Doug Martin
Ahmad Bradshaw


Julio Jones
Brandon Lloyd
James Jones
Doug Baldwin

It doesn't matter how deep you are. It's how amazing your starters are. I have the best team in the history of Fantasy Football.

Just wait until Cobb and Collie explode :)

Your starters win championships.

If your top 2 or 3 players crater, you're boned anyway. Depth is overrated in fantasy leagues.

I have Rodgers and Rice - that's good enough for me, especially with AJ Green also in the fold. Oh, and when Ryan Williams takes the job from Beanie Wells, Floyd becomes the #1 in SD, Ryan Matthews comes back healthy and Britt returns as the destroyer of worlds he was becoming last season, you're all in trouble.

The only truly horrific pick I made was Helu; I was price enforcing and quickly regretted it. That was money that could've salvaged my TE position. Or I could've gone after McFadden or Jackson instead of Matthews with the extra money. Just a very stupid pick on my part; a 'cheap' guy I grabbed out of frustration and immediately wished I hadn't.

I went from 4-0 to like 4-7 in a ****ing flash after Jamaal, Miles Austin, Stevie Johnson and my backup rb's went down..

Brady is the only reason i ever won a 5th game.

****ing figures.....both leagues that I'm in and the first game is against the team that I think is my toughest competition in the league.

:D

This has likely been covered earlier in the thread, but it's not in the OP:

Is this a keeper league? If someone took over Hootie's team, would they inherit a better draft position next year? I might be interested, provided there's no financial detriment in doing so :D

Auction league, bruh

You actually purchaseD that group?

It's nice to finally have a decent stable of rb's but damn the decisions on who to plug in. :banghead:

That said not going to be a total homer this week and giving the nod to Bradshaw over Charles,at least for now.

Good call.




(hey guys, can you believe he's starting bradshaw over Charles? LMAO He doesn't know bradshaw tweaked his hammy and won't be getting as many carries, if any.)

Steve Smith (Car)
Greg Jennings
Anquan Boldin

On the block. Looking for a RB.

Rankings are based on a 10 team league instead of a 12. My grade is dropping significantly...

Goddammit.

Witten is active. Hard to sit the dude, Dallas is going to have to sling it.

Not sure I wanna start him and Austin though. One of those guys is gonna be on the block soon.

Pest, here's your chance. I'm about to do something stupid.

You're welcome.

I'd be willing to part with Bradshaw whose job should be a little more secure seeing that it didn't take two carries for the rookie to find himself in Coughlin's doghouse.

May have to rethink this offer with the Jackson injury and the Spiller explosion.

And it doesn't matter. Wes Welker was nice enough to match Witten's points for you.

ESPN :rolleyes:

Click on a players name on your roster and last seasons schedule pops up.

Chris Johnson is officially on the block. My impatience is your gain.

If at some point someone needs a QB, I got Schaub and a guy who graded out perfectly yesterday on my roster. I need RB. That is all.

Wish you had something on your roster that worked for me.

Yeah, because I'd trade for him. But I knew I didn't have anything you'd want that I'd want to give up for him. I'm pretty thin in a few areas.

Sorry man,with the loss of Jackson this weekend and now the news on Jennings' groin I just can't pull the trigger.

Annnnnnnnnd I lost both of them. :facepalm:

In my money league.....I had the 3rd highest score of the week. Too bad I played the guy who had the 2nd.

Who was the highest scoring team in week 1?

Maybe OTWP or Sofa can answer this for me....

Something is definitely wrong with the bidding. I've tried bidding for the same guy 3 times and they never award him to me.

I just figured i was screwing something up.

You screw something up? :D

You're wrong.

FAAB auctions do not work like Dutch auctions (your bid goes up to the highest amount necessary) rather they work like silent bid auctions - if you win, you pay what you bid.

So in the scenario you posted, Team A pays $40 because he won the bid with that figure. It encourages intelligent, but not reckless, bidding. Otherwise you'd just bid over what you think his actual value is and let the Dutch Bid bail your ass out.

DJ is 100% correct.

Didn't stop me from bidding $68 on Alfred Morris LMAO

You ****ing one who sucks the penis. Good. You're broke for the rest of the year.

Hootie and Deez also outbid you. Each one by at least $30.

Just call yourself Scott Pioli, dude. You run your fantasy team just like him. :evil:

What was Hoot at? I honestly thought $41 would do it, but apparently I wasn't sniffing the acquisition.

I couldn't believe you paid that for a Shanahan rb,now watch Helu be the star this week.

No doubt. I refuse to trust Shanahan. I was riding the Hightower train last year before he pulled the rug out from under me.

Hootie bid $48. If you go down to the bottom of the league homepage at the end of the transaction list, click on "Free Agent Auction Report"

In 7 years on this site, I've never been insulted so horribly. This means war...

It's worth the risk, I think. If Morris beats the 50/50 odds and Shanahan finally decides that he needs a primary RB in order to succeed, the $68 of free agent money is a bargain for a low-end starter/flex RB.

Besides who the hell else am I going to acquire besides a replacement defense? Our benches are 9 deep. Most people on here shouldn't even need to go to the waiver wire besides to buy/sell backups hoping they'll be future starters one day.
