NFL/TFP Fantasy Football league
Just wondering since !Yahoo has opened up the Football sign ups if anyone had any plans on running the league again this year, I think it may have been Donuts who did it last year??
Also maybe we can use this as an ongoing discussion for the categories and number of teams, I think a 10 man league is good enough Also when picking number of roster spots think about this I like to point out to help everyone decide. Let's say we have a 10 man league, MOST leagues will start 2 RB's then if we add in a Flex postion while it can be a WR/RB you start to REALLY stretch the talent pool thin. 10 teams with 2 starters = 20 RB drafted, then let's say you grab 2 more RB to cover for bye weeks thats another 20 RB drafted, this puts us at close to 40 RB drafted alone, and this does not even count into the Flex positions. Granted you might use a RB at a flex position until you need them for a start for a bye week to one of your starters etc, and just fill the flex in with a WR that week. I like competition, but all too times I see someone unintentionally make a huge league for competitions sake but it just relly hurts the talent pool for everyone. Last year was a great league and hope we can get it back up again. |
I'm in, but not to run it :)
|
I'll be in
|
I'd be in too, not too comfortable setting up the league unless absolutely nobody else
wants to. |
trying to think who all was in it last year
screaming eagles myself baltimorons? c'mon someone help me out :( |
Shit yeah, I'm in.
And this year, I'm not going to draft Priest Holmes! edit: to answer your question, Montana, I was Donuts last year in the TFP league. |
I'm game. I don't recall who was commish last year. I was Screaming Eagles.
|
does anyone have any updates on the status of this league?? how many do we have in at this point?
|
I believe I was in as BrownBengals
|
I think we may have had 2 leagues, there was no BrownBengals in the league last year from what I recall.
and Dylan..DONUTS is always you. I am still mad at you for getting Zito from me for Petitte a couple years ago in the baseball league only to have him blow his elbow up :( |

edit: btw, let's get the tfp-nfl league started early. last year's league, which was entirely my bad, was too weighted on TDs with yards barely counting. let's start brainstorming roster sizes, etc, with a target draft day for the first part of August. |

I do not think you got Delgado and Thomas from me for them two. Could have, but I highly doubt it. on the NFL note, I would like to see maybe 10-12 teams pretty standard scoring TD 6pts passing yards 20 per point rushing yards 50 per point rec yards 50 per point 1 point per reception 1 " " completion I did not really care to have the individual defensive players last year, did not really do anything for me, also the flex players are nice but I also would like to see them limited to one. I think last year we had 1qb 2rb 3wr 1te 2flex kicker def team and an idp i dunno maybe we can all hit the chat room sometime this week and talk it out face to face. I prefer a draft a bit closer to the season say very late august early september, due to injuries and actions like ricky williams bullshit last year. wasting that #1 pick on a guy who blows out an ACL or decides to retire due to a drug test can really make you wanna pull a Thugs in Lugz and not mess with your team :( |
I haven't played Fantasy football before, but I follow the sport closely and think I could figure it out. If you need another or have room for another, I would like to play.
|
I am IN IN IN IN IN........
I want in...I must be in. Just let me know when and where, and Im in. |
So who's gonna volonteer to be commish? Its getting closer to that time.

One note on the league, though. Since we ran into problems with trade vetoes this baseball season, it might behoove us to have the commish be the decision-maker. He/she can get feedback, let everyone know why the trade is going through or not, and then make the decision. We also need to have everyone participating to list-out his/her preferences on scoring composition, number of teams, etc. |
Quote:
I would prefer 10 teams with guys who we know will start and actually finish the season. Enough of the Thugz in Lugz crap. I would say let's shoot for the third weekend in August as a draft date (Aug. 20th or 21st). |
i'd love to join in,
but i'm in another (non-tfp) league. pm me if you need an extra, i'll play to make it 10 if you need it. and not that it matters if i'm not in the league, but here's a scoring system that i really liked. it accounts for benchmark yardage to be weighted equally across positions. the per game benchmarks for passing, receiving, and rushing are 300, 100, and 100 respectively. so passing 30 yds/ pt rushing 10 yds / pt receiving 10 yds / pt. would all give 10 pts to that player for the game. it's a bone that i have to pick with my other commish. personally, i like IDP leagues. we had 5 last year, and went up to 6 this year. 4 or 5 is probably better. you can get points for things like tackles, sacks, pass deflections, INTs, and even return yards... there are several DBs who also return kicks and punts. |
ricky....
... and the whole reason i came into tilted sports.....
ricky williams just became available in my (non tfp) fantasy league. i dropped an extra IDP - keith bulluck - to pick him up. am i crazy? does anyone else see value in him? my other RBs are dominick davis & brian westbook, with deshaun foster on the bench. and now rasta ricky. i think he's got potential, and that's why i'm willing to wait out the suspension. should i try to use him as trade bait? i'm thin at WR... steve smith, jimmy smith, and dante hall (we get return yards... he was money last year). who would be the WR y'all want most? edit: should i have started a new thread? |
I'd keep him as a backup only, because of his suspension and because of Ronnie Brown. He'll get his carries, but not anywhere near as many unless Brown gets hurt or busts dramatically.
|
I'd love to be involved, if there is need for another. PM me. :)

Thanks, I'm in. Screaming Eagles, of course.
|
Why did we go points only? I think I preferred head to head, but I'm not the commish, soooo points only it is.

***EDIT***: http://football.fantasysports.yahoo....nprivateleague The above link is where you need to go to sign-up for the league. |
I'm in.
8910 |
We have 7 of 10 spots filled, at the moment. If you want in, don't hesitate.
Also, the format has been switched back to Head to Head play. |
I'm very interested, and I'm in the process of signing up right now. At work, nonetheless.
|
Daoust makes number 8.
The league will not be increased beyond ten teams, so if you want in, do it! |
Baltimore Sentinals
|
See if I can put together another nice run at the top of the dogpile only to get ousted in the playoffs, but is such the life of a Fantasy Football nut.
|
Atlanta Aztecs (djtestudo snagged Baltimore before me)
Checking the list in the yahoo Tilted Gridiron page, it looks like I make #9. Looking forward to it. |
and it looks like I am #10...looking forward to the season...see you guys(hopefully) at the draft
|
So I take it we all have to be at the Tilted Gridiron page at that exact time on August 21st? Right?
And if we're not the computer drafts for us? Or if we have our listed draft order on the page, will the computer pick from the list we have made, and pick the next available person on our list? Does that happen? |

Also, someone brought up the point about the league being heavily weighted towards QBs. While it may seem that way on the surface, the number of touches (for RBs) and receptions (WRs) are included in the scoring. I'm not sure if it completely balances things out but I just thought I would mention it. Like I said, everything is open to change except for the number teams and the draft date. This is your league; tell me how you want it. And yes, we have 10 teams, now. If someone should back-out before the draft, I will post on here to lure some other unsuspecting fool. |
Okay, another question. Is there a good site I can reference that will give me information such as which RB's got the most touches last season, or WR's got the most yards, etc?
Also, is there some good sites I can go to that will have fantasy football rankings that I can use as a reference point when I put my list together... And finally. Does Dan Marino still play? |
Quote:
As far as stats, just use the players tab on our league home page. You can sort statistical categories of any group of players. If you're asking about Marino, I think you're in for a long season. |
dammit didnt get in, i guess thats what i get when i leave for a few days....
if you guys decide to add more teams let me know i'd be more that willing to join up |

If a second league were to get started I would love to be included.. also if htere were 2 leagues.. the winners of each league could have playoofs both within and without their leagues for more bragging rights.
