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!

That's Foosballers!

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.

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.

Ohio Ohana's are not going to come in last this year..... I hope....

I'd be up for it this year. The Probes need another win!

Sectoid, if you're interested, shoot me a PM with your email to send an invite. We just need one more to get to 10!

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.

Rip · Post by **Rip** » Wed Aug 09, 2017 9:16 pm

I'm sure we would love to go to 12. That is the best number of teams IMHO.

10 is perfect. 12 is slim pickings

No, slim pickings is the 14-team league I'm in. 12-team leagues still have plenty of gold to mine.

Invite sent to Sectoid. We're trying to get to 10 this year, so we need one more!

Well that was a disappointing OO draft. Only 3 of us showed...

Rip · Post by **Rip** » Wed Aug 30, 2017 12:26 am

Crap was it already, distracted by the storm.

Oh well I usually do better with auto-drafted teams. Go figure.

That's what I thought, but it autodrafted a suspended RB. Ugh!

Ezekiel Elliott

msteelers · Post by **msteelers** » Wed Aug 30, 2017 8:30 am

I'll trade you for him.

msteelers · Post by **msteelers** » Wed Aug 30, 2017 9:01 am

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.

Jeff V · Post by **Jeff V** » Wed Aug 30, 2017 9:40 am

12 team PPR League

QB (1): Winston, Cutler
RB (2): L.Bell, Powell, Thompson, Riddick
WR (3): Baldwin, Cobb, Sanders, Thielen, Maclin
TE (1): Graham, Walker
K(1): Hopkins, Forbath
DST(1): Minnesota, Tennessee

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

Spoiler:
Marcus Mariota, Ten

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.

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.

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.

I'm feeling generous so I will trade you Gore for him.

Don't be insulting. I'll give up Thomas for him.

Octavious · Post by **Octavious** » Wed Aug 30, 2017 10:25 pm

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

Fn phone won't let me edit posts. When all the other running backs are dead you won't feel so bad anymore.

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

Damn it! I was so busy preparing for Irma that I totally forgot about the draft.

At least he'll be suspended against the 49ers in week 7.

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....

I want your problems.

Honestly you will probably be fine with either one of them.

Kelric · Post by **Kelric** » Wed Sep 06, 2017 5:57 pm

Should be fine with either, but I'd go with Big Ben. Who are your other WRs? Starting Bryant week 1 seems risky.

My roster - non-PPR league

Matt Ryan QB Atl
Ben Roethlisberger QB Pitt
Carson Wentz QB Phil (trade bait)
Doug Baldwin WR Seattle
Martavais Bryant WR Pitt
Emanuel Sanders WR Denver
DeVante Parker WR Miami
Ted Ginn WR N.O.
David Johnson RB Arizona
Isaiah Crowell RB Cleveland
Theo Riddick RB Detroit
Jacquizz Rodgers RB Tampa Bay
Delanie Walker TE Tenn
Matt Bryant K Atl
Pittsburgh Steelers D/SP

Aside from the QB question (I'm leaning Ryan as he carried me last year), I need to pick a flex player - basically any position other than QB...

pr0ner · Post by **pr0ner** » Thu Sep 07, 2017 9:33 am

RB: Devonta Freeman, Marshawn Lynch, Mike Gillislee, Samaje Perine

Managed to go 3-0 this week. It can only go downhill from here.

Jeff V · Post by **Jeff V** » Wed Sep 13, 2017 9:23 am

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.
