Thanks for fixing…now I won’t have to draft Justin Tucker in the first

I am not convinced that guy is best kicker in nfl.

By the way who is Uncle Joey?

Who owns what team? I have no idea who owns give Tebow a chance

I believe divisions are going to not exist so it will not matter.

I think we only decided on axing divisions for 10-team leagues. Pretty sure they’re being retained for L1 since we have 12.

I hope people enjoy this, it's unlikely to be much more than a feel-good novelty but now whoever drafts that Bengals kicker can enjoy extra points from all the 70-yard field goals he kicks

Or Greg the Leg! Or whoever the Broncos have since their stadium is great for kicking…is it still McManus?

i can't wait for everyone who voted for that to lose an important game by a fifth of a point because the opposing kicker is hits a field goal 2 yards too far

If the RB pool is so thin then people will turn to WRs, no? Especially with the PPR added

I am fully anticipating that this will happen to me at least once.

I believe D3 is correct. 12 teams having 3 divisions of 4 is good so that everyone plays everyone and gets more games in their divisions. If 10 teams occurs I voted that divisions were kinda bad from perspective of 6 teams of 10 in playoffs is dumb. 6 of 12 making is okay since 7 of 16 make it in nfl but over half does not seem right. Kinda feels like regular season does not matter as much as it should. And I think that discussion is why that was on the ballot.

How many teams are in league 2 anyway? If they have more than 10 they could probably keep divisions

@Nero

could you please update the first post to list divisions and teams with owners info?

Ahh ok. Happy scum day. Is Nero "Give Tebow a chance"? So our division has 3 players that fought it out in League 2 last year? I guess I am fine with that if everyone else is. Cool way to preserve rivalries lol

Kubla Khan is obviously Mongolian khans. I am fine with him being in division instead of Tali if that is happening. Either one should be fun to play with.

Nero Cain · Post Post #188 (ISO) » Thu Aug 19, 2021 7:09 am

tebow does deserve a chance, yes.

L2 has 12.

I think it's weird that I can change the divisions but they don't show up on the main page but on the schedule editor I can see them. Maybe the new season has to begin for them to be on the front page.

but right now

peg, panzer, d3 and reck are in the DoD

voodoo is kila, racefan, yiley, kk

miths envy is me, poker, uncle joey and tali

I still have to manually edit the schedule so that's why it looks a bit funky right now

Well yes but more times than not I think an RB might score higher than a WR or TE so it just becomes who has the better/healthy RBs but we'll see how things go.

This is literally just fantasy football. Best ability is availability.

(BTW in half ppr, rb/wr scoring evens out at about 10 in half ppr and actually massively goes the other direction by 20)

^^ This, also why I love ppr because rbs are so injury prone. RBs will always be important anyways but without PPR it just feels like the RB lottery (mixon > godwin last year??)

Even in standard it evens out by 20, which is ~the starters line before a 3rd wr or a flex. The biggest benefit of ppr is evening out the top end vs standard. Top rb outscored the top 3 rbs in half ppr were 336, 324, and 316. WRs were 301, 285, 265.

In standard it's 314, 294,294 vs 243, 241, and 202

This is liie..literally why I don't understand why you'd not want ppr but complain about the rb pool being too thin in a flex league.

D3f3nd3r · Post Post #196 (ISO) » Thu Aug 19, 2021 9:05 am

Just go RB/RB in the first two rounds and don’t worry about it

(Or alternatively please don’t because I don’t want to have to go WR/WR when there are no good RBs at the turn)

Terrible advice. Only way to win nowadays is grabbing the best K and D/ST in the first 2 rounds

I didn't realize it was that different. I will change my vote next season if you are right. Probably too late to change now
