2017 Fantasy Football
It's that time of year again. Fantasy Football Masters is looking for two new owners to bring us up to a total of ten teams. So far we have the Bay Area Brawlers, Dirty Jersey, Cajun Footballers, Luck Hunt, Is-Grim Outlook, MD Marauders, Ohio Ohanas, and Samurai Saints. If you want in, PM me!

Re: 2017 Fantasy Football
I'm getting excited! I have a 12-team auction draft followed by a 14-team snake draft, both on the 19th. Then the next week we draft in my main 12-team keeper league. I'll be keeping AB, Gronk, and Derrick Henry. Then of course FFM and the other OO league.

Re: 2017 Fantasy Football
No word yet from our commissioner on when the draft is going to be. Last year he didn't announce anything until about a week prior.

Re: 2017 Fantasy Football
I played last year on the OO league I thought. I am happy to do it again, but if you all are going ten teams, no worries I'm in another league to keep me entertained.

Re: 2017 Fantasy Football
I'm sure we would love to go to 12. That is the best number of teams IMHO.

Re: 2017 Fantasy Football
I've held 4 drafts so far this year, including last night's OO draft.
OO League
QB: Cousins, Luck
WR: Nelson, D Thomas, Diggs, Marshall, Jackson, Wallace
RB: Gordon, Ingram, Hunt, Martin
TE: Gronk
There's so much talent left at the end of a 10-team draft, it's ridiculous.
12-team Keeper, standard scoring
QB: Mariota
WR: Brown (keeper), Tate, Landry, Moncrief, Coleman, Marvin Jones
RB: Montgomery, Anderson, Coleman, Jamaal Williams, Joe Williams, Deandre Washington, Derrick Henry (keeper)
TE: Gronk (keeper)
RBs are weak, but I have the Packer backfield locked up with Montgomery and Williams, and a few upside picks that could hit later in the season. Joe Williams could probably be cut right away.
12-team Keeper, standard scoring, auction league
QB: Wilson
WR: Evans (keeper), Thomas (keeper), Bryant, Parker, John Brown
RB: Fournette, Hyde, Ware..., Washington, Ingram, Williams
TE: Walker
Again, weak RBs. It must have been a trend for me this year. Ware was my keeper and got hurt after the draft.
14-team, 1/2 PPR league
QB: Mariota
WR: Hopkins, Snead, Garcon, Coleman
RB: Bell, Crowell, Anderson, Washington, Hill, Williams, Smallwood
TE: Graham
RB's are much better. I need to cut Williams to pick up a WR.

Is it bad that when I checked my autodraft results, my response to seeing my primary QB slot was, "Who?!"

Re: 2017 Fantasy Football
I like him! Top-10 quarterback in the rankings this year, and they worked a lot to bring in some talent around him. I'm hoping he'll be able to take a step forward and be close to a Top-5 QB this year.Isgrimnur wrote:Is it bad that when I checked my autodraft results, my response to seeing my primary QB slot was, "Who?!"

I'm going to hold on to him for a bit. Since he was one of the autodraft's first picks. Sucks, but I've come back from worse.msteelers wrote:I'll trade you for him.

Re: 2017 Fantasy Football
This is precisely what happened to me, I have been in storm tracking mode for days. My biggest apologies and I will certainly be active in the season getting ready for games, waivers, etc. Hilariously with auto-drafting I got the highest grade of our group.Rip wrote:Crap was it already, distracted by the storm.

When all the other running back are dead by week 4 you won't feel so bad about that pick.

Re: 2017 Fantasy Football
well tonight's OO draft had a much better attendance...
I totally screwed up. I had the 6th pick. In round two I decided to take a gamble that Elliot wouldn't be suspended.... Apparently 10 minutes before the draft it was announced his appeal was denied. It hadn't shown up in the news sites yet, and I just wasted a 2nd round draft pick

Re: 2017 Fantasy Football
All right boys, decision time for week 1.
Do I start Matt Ryan at QB vs Chicago, or Big Ben Roethlisberger vs Cleveland, keeping in mind that I also have Martavais Bryant as one of my starting wideouts. If the Steelers spank the Browns, I could be in for a real good day, but hard to put Ryan on the bench....

Re: 2017 Fantasy Football
My starting QB had a week 1 bye; and every aspect of my team sucked last week. I think I had my worst week in years and lost a game I would have easily won if just half my worthless stiffs (I'm looking at you, LeVeon Bell you turd!) met expectations.
