After all the discussion we had about being non-PPR, I realized after the draft that the setting had never been corrected. Apologies for any confusion. I am in a serious baby brain fog right now, between wife not feeling well from being very pregnant and Luke being sick.

Nero, please make sure the settings (roster and scoring) are correct in the other leagues.

(I may have to seriously consider just switching next year so I don’t have to keep track of Yahoo changing things every year.)

Wait...does that mean we are ppr? Or is it going to be adjusted to non-ppr?

He hadn’t changed it to non-PPR until immediately after the draft, that’s all. It means the draft grades are even worse than usual, that’s pretty much it.

I don't think I ever said this and if I did then I'm about to slightly backtrack. I don't think either is "better" its just different strats. I mean, with a snake draft you just take the best available and drafting usually sticks to a pre-determined order you can maybe plan ahead better than an auction. You could maybe argue that auction involves a little more skill b/c you aren't guaranteed the top tier players like you are in snake and you have to make do with less. It's pretty similar to daily I guess since you have the X budget to do your roster with.
Of all tyrannies,a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

Wait, that's not the draft order. You used my L1 draft position for L3, but I was much higher up in L3.

Didn't necessarily mean specifically you.

A lot of fantasy football media guy (Matt Berry and Bill Simmons can be easy examples here) view auction as the better test of skill because "everyone has a chance at everyone". So if you follow that logic to its natural conclusion, Daily is the biggest test of skill in fantasy football because everyone has a shot at everyone, every week.

In practice, it's slightly flawed if you play the big multi-entry tournaments(i.e Draft King's famous "Millionaire Maker") it's actually not much different from a lottery. Top guys typically a buy in for max tickets and enter a bunch of different line ups, typically using some kind of algorithm based on performance/cost that will spit out a pile of different line ups (some will build their own, some will pay for a commercial one). But it's honestly just similar to guys using top tier adp auction sheets/snake sheets, so it's all what you're willing to put up with, but you can avoid most of the real "sharks" if you stick to low money or single entry options. Also, the low price cash games like 50/50s, double ups, and even some 3/5 player stuff.

Tl;dr: if you think auction is superior to snake because everyone can take anyone, than daily is usually strictly better at that.

yyyeah
this was clearly collusion. :lol:

I just fucked up :/

the non-jokey/ non-short answer is that I had not slept yet by like 8/8:30 whenever I sent out the reminder pm. Rob got ahold of me and told me the draft order was wrong. I should have fact checked it against the video but Luke's cuteness aside I just couldn't be able to do that I figured that I'd change it b4 sleep and then IF Rob was wrong then I could change it back but I woke up late and apparently once you are in the draft room even if you haven't drafted you can't change it. This is my fault so feel free to be mad or w/e.
Of all tyrannies,a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

Hey Nero, you forgot that all of the first round picks were supposed to be swapped to my team after the draft. Get on that, please.

Joking aside, Nero shouldn't take the blame. This was completely my fault. :/

I’d have been very content taking him at the end of the second in L2, but I wanted Freeman (and Jordan Howard I guess) a bit more
