Fantasy Football 2006 (NFL)

[Del Murder]

The individual defensive players is what sets this league apart!

I got some of my old favorites: Porter, Owens, Barber. I also got Warner. I wonder if Matt Leinart got drafted.

[eestlinc]

i find it funny that despite drafting yahoo autodraft with no preranks I still got the top TE and the running back I was planning to draft anyway.

[Del Murder]

With the shortened number of teams we all got more superstars than we're used to getting.

I wonder how much this draft will say about the one we have on Sunday.

[Strider]

In case you're wondering, I'm not going to be drafting all rookies in the other league.

[eestlinc]

I just thought it was funny I got Gates on autodraft with no pre-rankings since we all know how much I love drafting a top TE.

Do we want to set up a survivor football league too?

[Del Murder]

Yeah, that sounds good. I'll get my dad to play again.

[RSL]

Oh yeah! Maybe this time I'll last longer than two weeks (or whatever it was)

[Del Murder]

I don't think anyone lasted more than two weeks the first time.

[I Took the Red Pill]

I don't think I'll be able to make our live draft because I'm going up to Buffalo for a few days to see a Bills preseason game. I've got some prerankings. To have Yahoo autodraft all I have to do is not show up, right?

[RSL]

I don't think anyone lasted more than two weeks the first time.

That is true. But then when we started over, I was out right away yet again, and then everyone else it seemed lasted for the entire season!

Yes. If you don't show up for the draft, a team will be drafted for you, based on the player rankings and your team needs. (By this I mean, if by some reason every time your pick comes up, the highest ranked player on the board is a wide receiver, it won't draft 10 wide receivers for you and leave you screwed.)

The auto draft does a pretty good job. You can help it along by ranking the players yourself, or selecting players you absolutely do not want it to draft no matter what. Depending on how much time you spend on it, you could conceivably set it up to draft your team the way you would have were you there, anyway.

[JaytodaP]

Peyton Manning + Marvin Harrison for the win..... at least until bye week.

[Del Murder]

I had that combo before. I got killed in the bye. But then there was that one time I was down 60 points going into Sunday night and they combined for like 8 touchdowns. That was awesome.

[eestlinc]

I thought I was the only person who survived to the end of the season the scond time around the survivor league last year, but maybe more people made it too. Is someone else going to set up the survivor league, or should I do it?

[I Took the Red Pill]

Alright since I'm not going to be around for the draft, instead of autodrafting I'm having a friend draft for me. So just keep in mind that's not me drafting, and not me trash talking, which I fully expect him to do.
