You can message the commie I'm sure he can change it

We can probably manually assign a keeper as long as nobody calls us commies again haha

That!

yeah, we can assign keepers manually, just let us know who you intended to keep in a post here. No worries, the deadline is kinda weird, it's actually up at 11:59p the day prior, so it's not exactly clear that the choice has to be made before the stated date.

stupid autocorrect on my phone didn't like commish but likes commie lol

couldn't find the keeper tab last night when i went to double check; just assuming its in ok. so we're Saturday at 1pm i assume?

Decker Like Rice and SG's team don't have sleepers assigned. Post your sleeper here and RR or I will add it.

What are the conditions for keepers, officially? Like, can it be anyone with no consequences, or do we have to surrender a draft pick for it? I can't remember what we decided on for that.

you surrender the equivalent draft pick, keep your first round pick from last year lose this year's first round pick, keep the 5th rounder lose the 5th rounder, keep a FA and lose your last pick

That I did not understand. Ugh. I guess I'm not a full on fantasy football nerd.

ATP, because you are the man, if you want to change your keeper let us know.

Ok guys, SG, who are you keeping, ATP do you want to switch, we need to know, lets say by 9am tomorrow so we can have time to make sure we work out the manual draft adjustments, which can't be done until all keepers are approved.

And as far as voting goes, whatever the results are in the morning, I think its fair to say the polls have been posted for long enough, any ties TP will be the deciding vote.

I will keep Antonio Brown.

Okay, sounds good SG.

Anyone know who Decker Like Rice is here?

packer12 maybe (judging by early thread)

Ha! right I didn't think of going back in the thread.

How would I set up my auto-draft? Unfortunately can't make 1pm today

I will keep who I keep. I don't care a whole lot about the outcome of this league, to be honest.

Joe, I believe you will find what you need on the "Draft" tab, you want to do "pre-draft rankings" don't forget to save them periodically.

the real problem, joe, is I'm not sure how to prevent the auto draft from filling all starting spots before filling bench spots which mean it'll grab a kicker for you in round 9 or 10.

If anyone knows how to prevent that in auto draft, let us know.

you'd have to put all kickers in the do not draft list then just pick one up later

I didn't know about losing the draft pick either. I guess it's a gamble to use a 1st rounder on a keeper. If I get the 1st pick, he's not worth it, if I get the 12th, he is. I guess I'll just have to take my chances.

you have the third pick, reverse order of last years final standings. anyone wanna change their keeper let me know asap, lets say within the hour.

anyone want to see the draft board with the keepers on it go to "draft" tab, "draft results"

Running Ram wrote:you have the third pick, reverse order of last years final standings. anyone wanna change their keeper let me know asap, lets say within the hour.

OK, I'd like to change mine to Brandin Cooks, 7th rounder.

guess i can scratch cooks off my list!

free agent keepers are round 12 and not 16?

yup, round 12. K, BB, I'll make that change.

Okay, I feel like there aren't enough votes on our polls, we have four and five responses, so I'm going to revert the kicker scoring back to no negative points and as far as the waiver/fa issue I'll leave it up to you TP, seems like you have a good handle on that, also I am appointing twisted to the official rules/discipline committee to oversee the integrity of these changes/non-changes (if he accepts haha) he can provide the tie-breaking vote when we need one on the fly. Any controversy that may arise (not that I expect any, especially since we're just playing for bragging rights) myself, TP and twisted will make sure we all keep it friendly and fun.

Good luck everybody and have fun! this years champion can expect a (WWF style) "KeaneyBlue FFL Championship Belt" to be presented at halftime of our final February home game...*jokes*

Joe, fair offer and I do love talking trade, but I'm trying my best this year to make it a couple of weeks before I start dismantling my team lol

Fair enough, maybe we'll talk in a few weeks...

Not entirely sure what you mean but sure

Haha, I thought you might want to know what you were volunteered for...

It probably won't ever mean anything unless we have an issue that needs to be resolved faster than can be resolved via league vote, just a contingency in case we have to make a decision on the fly. A committee needs at least 3 and you, twisted, seem to be interested enough to care, also if we ever have tie votes going forward, we would break the tie, each of us (you, me and TP) would get a second vote to break any tie.

cool, cool?

ok, that makes sense

TP, twisted, what do you wanna do about waivers? We need to make the decision by this weekend. Do you guys want to roll with the vote? I don't want to make the decision without input and we didn't really get many people out to the polls. TP you want to make the call here? I'm honestly good with whatever, I just want managers to be happy happy.

Let's just do continuing rolling list. I like the idea of FAAB but I don't want to spring it on unsuspecting people. Would have liked to see it voted in.

okay, but lets call it now, next year we'll try FAAB out.

If Dez is really hurt, my stupid terrible auto-drafted fantasy team is officially finished. Don't think I've ever really given up after one week before, but this is not good.

this is too close TP, my RB were really disappointing this week

Comes down to my opponent's kicker tonight. I hate kickers.

My kicker came thru. Bailed me out of my bad TE decisions. Dez going down sucks; I would have sure as hell grabbed him #1 if he was there.

My team is officially a dumpster fire. That one point loss might be the high water mark of my season. :-/

It's a long season buddy, you're just going to have to work waiver and trade magic.

Running Ram wrote:It's a long season buddy, you're just going to have to work waiver and trade magic.

I hated my team from the moment I signed into the draft in the eighth round or whatever it was, and now I'm down my best player. If anyone wants to trade me good players for any of my terrible players, feel free to send me offers! With no money on the line, I don't see myself putting the time in to cure what ails my roster (which is all of the players on it).

Speaking of the waiver wire, I'm looking for some relief (I guess I could give it to myself, but I don't think that is right - I'd like someone else's signoff). I needed to grab a WR after Dez died, so I put claims in on three guys: Moncreif, Cole Beasly and Marquess Wilson, and attempted to drop the same player - Kamar Aiken - for all of them (so I would only end up with one new receiver). I noticed today that I somehow accidentally dropped Knile Davis for Marquess Wilson, so now I have a WR I don't need and didn't even really want and am down a RB I would prefer to have. Does anyone object to undoing that transaction?

no worries, just reverse it, as far as I'm concerned.

TP think you already did it? BTW you're favored to kick my sorry team's butt. i'll check out your roster to see what would be interesting. unfortunately not much to speak of on my team other than Luck, Cobb and maybe Ivory. Looks like Maclin isn't going to do much. I don't know what made me think having two Raiders would be a good idea.

TP, I see that you have given up already, week 4 and cashing it in I guess? Big Ben?

Eh I thought I got him out of all my lineups. Obviously I wasn't starting him for strategic reasons. My bad guys.
