Fantasy Football 14' -Prog Rockers League-

If you consider Highest Points to be your best possible player for your flex position as opposed to grouping it the QB/DEF category the flex is considered for 11/16 total games. I personally like how much the flex spot is to be considered for side pots. You may risk losing your head to head sometimes just trying to play to win them, and I think that is how it kinda should be. If we give more value to the QB and Def those players who are potentially already doing very well will also be winning more of the side pots. Members who's teams did not make the playoffs have more of a chance at winning side pots, giving them incentive to continue to play even thought they may not place in the top 3. This is where maybe winning your head to head is less important than the side pot (e.g you are in last place with no chance of placing but week 16 is highest RB; there is a greater possibility that a last place team has a RB that could win the side pot as oppose to a QB). This incentive for low placing teams to still set a line up is something I like to encourage because in most leagues once someone doesn't make the playoffs they stop caring completely.

Ok no redraft, also no keeper league until after next year. I suppose I don't mind doing a keeper league after this season if that is what everyone wants, but being present at the draft is so important I would just rather wait....

Ooooh, speaking of that, I saw a black bear on Sunday (from my car). But this was in Oregon, mind you.

Have fun camping. The Carolinas are no doubt safer from wildlife, if that's where you're camping.

I would totally be down for that if the draft didn't get all mucked up. Starting a keeper league the year more the half the people's teams were auto drafted is not appealing. If we wanted to redraft then maybe. I also had the idea that we could redraft, but take not of current rosters, and if after the redraft the 5 people who originally made the first draft are down to continue we can go from there. If not, no buggy we just stick with the original rosters. I don't think we'll find a solution that pleases everyone, I'm just throwing out ideas. Also want to point out this is the only league I'm in that has drafted so far. The wife used my account to join a "family" league, but other than that I have like 4 drafts coming up in the next 5 days...

I'll swap you Tannehill if he interests you more with Nick Foles' old QB coach running the show. 

Half of us autodrafted and only one trade so far? Come on guys.

I understand that. I just explained why it is a poor idea and a random draw is more fair. The entire idea of reverse ranking drafting is predicated on on creating parity based on the idea that successful teams in year N will also be successful in year N+1. This is unfounded and more just plain wrong. It sets up perverse incentives. Teams tank, dump players in trades to tank when they're out of the playoffs.

I'm fine either way, but I really would say we should not re-draft. Would be a bit unfair and hey, is our fault ultimately for missing it.

I don't care if we redraft,but if we don't I'm cool with that too.
