I'm in.

And if my success in fantasy football is in any way related to my success in this year's fantasy baseball season -

I'll be lookin' up at everybody!

[Nate Swartzlander]

We need more teams!!

Gary,

I have never done a fantasy league and I am really short on free time in the fall. However, could you give me a maybe brief outline of what is involved with doing this? If I think it is something I can do in a way that I feel I have given it a good effort and not taken away from other duties, I would be willing to do it. I just don't know what is involved.

Thanks and blessings
Scott

[Jeremy D. Scott]

Stop tempting me!

Is it any more tempting to know that I am the reigning champion?

Has anyone private messaged or e-mailed Bruce Carriker to let him know we're starting? (I miss Bruce...)

[Ryan Scott]

Actually, it's less tempting. If you can win it, it would be far too easy for me.

Okay, here we go!:fun03

[Jamie Wayne]

I pick Ronaldinho.

[Scott Hilton]

All right, I gave in. I signed up today. I am a complete noob at this, so if someone could give me the lo'down on how this kinda works, I would be most appreciative.

Exactly what is an auto-draft?

That's what happens when you leave the windows wide open. :eek:

I'll make sure Nate offers some explanations here to help the fantasy challenged.

Welcome to the season.

Do we pick draft choices or are the draft choices picked for us? I thought maybe the auto-draft meant that it was automically picked......I have no idea, I will wait for an explanation, lol

[Gary Swartzlander]

The point of Fantasy football is to get points by way of your players stats.
When your quarterback throws a touchdown you get points. Your goal is to get players that will run, pass, catch and score to get you points. The auto draft is automatic computer draft but you can rank which players you would like to get.
You will have a starting roster and a couple bench positions, you want to put your best team each week. If some of your players are doing bad you can also after the draft drop them and add free agents to your team.(free agents would be anyone not selected in the draft.)

hope this helps.

How do I rank the players? Is this an option on fantasy site that we log into?

Thanks for the help, by the way.

blessings
Scott

[Nate Swartzlander]

Yes, if you log in to your team it will give you an option to pre-rank the
players for the draft.

[Nate Swartzlander]

Last chance to sign up for Naznet Fantasy Football!

We are in need of two more teams to complete our league.

The draft will be late this week or over the weekend, so dont wait around join NOW!

info to join provided above or below or reply for the info.

Thanks,

COME ON, JOIN UP!!!!!

sorry for yelling, lol

[Mike Schutz]

As I was messing with the lineup for my fantasy team in our church league, I just noticed late this evening that our Naznet draft had taken place.

Glad I could give you folks a head start. Haven't been in a league with individual defensive players before, so had copied my pre-draft auto list from my other league and had no defensive players on my draft list.

It will be fun.

I have never done any of this before, so it is all new to me. Mike, I counter offered your trade proposal by the way :basic01

[Scott Hilton]

Oh, it was funny. I guy saw me looking at our league settings and saw that we had defense and defensive players. He called us hardcore, especially for a church league, lol. He plays in several leagues at once............I don't see how he does that?

blessings

[Scott Hilton]

alright, so this fantasy stuff is changing the way I watch a football game. I have Ahman Green as one of my RB's and I have Donnie Edwards as a DL. They played each other this week and I was rooting for Green to run 5 yards every time he touched the ball and have Edwards tackle him solo every time. That is very strange!

[Gary Swartzlander]

yes, it will do that. Match ups can be a funny thing.

Glad to have you playing.

[Scott Hilton]

HEH, easy for you to say since you beat me this week, LOL :basic05:basic05

[Scott Hilton]

Well, at least I wasn't the last in points this week.......close to it though.

Poor Mike S., he scores the second most points in the league and still gets beat by 45 points. WOW

[Mike Schutz]

But it relieves me that the loss was not due to one stupid decision. For example, choosing to start Palmer against the Ravens (even though the Bengals won, Palmer played poorly from a fantasy perspective) or Big Ben against the Browns. I knew Ben would probably have a good game, and that no one does well against the Ravens (although Carson's numbers against them are as good as anyone), but who would have figured that the Bengals would score so many points against the Ravens, and Palmer STILL would not have the numbers.

However, I was in heaven on Sunday afternoon. Here in Philadelphia, they showed the Pats - Jets game as well as the Eagles - Packers game at 1pm. Talk about two totally different games.

Are the Pats that good, or is the J-E-T-S defense that bad? They simply put NO pressure on Brady. And when Tom Terrific has time...
Can you imagine what is going through Randy Moss' head? He has a real QB to throw to him. Sunday night Pats-Chargers should be interesting.

So, if it is true that the Pats were stealing the Jets signs (illegal in football, part of the game in baseball), this is like the Watergate break-in ... Totally unnecessary.

[Scott Hilton]

NE ssure did look good, that is for sure. I think this week will give us more information on if what we saw was that they were that good or NYJ were that bad.

[Ryan Scott]

The post-game showed talked about how surprised the Pats coaches were at the lack of a pass-rush from the Jets. Last year the Jets were super aggressive, but this year, apparently, they felt the need to put extra guys on the new receivers.

NE-SD next week should be a good one. SD has quite the defense. If they can't slow NE down, no one can.

[Ryan Scott]

An interesting fact from week one of the NFL season:

"In the Denver-Buffalo game, the Broncos had the lead for exactly one second -- the final second."

[Scott Hilton]

I am waiting to see if Indy's defense is for real. If that defense is really that good, they could be scary good this year......and that is after winning it all last year.

[Jonathan Long]

Gotta love this!

I never thought that my team would win by such a big margin.... I probably used up all of the points they had in them and will now lose every week...

That can be the most frustrating part of this whole thing. Some players will be consistant, but more often than not they are all over the place with points. And, what looks good on the field isn't always best for fantasy points. A running back may have a lot of carries, but they are for short yardage or a quarterback may have a lot of yards passing but most of it is on 1 or 2 passes, which don't add up to a lot of points.

Good Luck this week.

[Jonathan Long]

This is my 4th year playing. I've done OK in previous years, but as you said it's been up and down every week. Good thing I don't take this too serious!

I'm sure that we'll all have fun over the course of the season. Good luck to all!

actually that is a good quaterback in our league, because we are not a PPR league. (Points per reception). I am all for 2-3 catches of big yardage, especially when they come with a TD. To bad I didn't get to many of those last week, lol.

Since you beat up on me - I'm so happy for you;)

:basic05 You shouldn't have given us all a head start...

Hopefully you won't be the only team I beat up... I'd hate for you to feel that I singled you out... ROFLOL!:)

Jon

[Scott Hilton]

So I had the second lowest points this week, but won! At least I know I won't go winless in my first season. KFC (aka, Jon L) is high scorer again this week. I get Total Impact this week who in 0-2, but had the second most points in week one and suffered a close loss this week. I hope I at least break 100 points this week and that Brees does something for me!

I'm 0-2 in Naznet, but have scored more points than I have in our church league, where I am 2-0.

Oh well.

[Jonathan Long]

It's early in the season, so much can and will happen! I've only got the one team this year, in previous years I've had 3 or 4... hopefully I won't "over manage"!

Good luck to all for week 3 (except my opponent)!

That has been the hardest thing for me to do so far, is to stop tinkering with the lineup so much, lol. I am not used to being able to move around million dollar players so easily, :basic05

[Scott Hilton]

I just had to share this with ya'll, because it is something that I was not expecting to happen with fantasy football. It has actually helped make my wife more interested in football? She keeps hearing me talk about my team and making moves etc., well she has started watching the Texans games down here with me. She actually had it turned on when I wasn't home and she had other choices! She told me that the fantasy football intrigued her for some reason and she is now asking questions about the game that before she really didn't care to know.

Isn't that neat?

[Ryan Scott]

Fantasy football has just the opposite affect on my wife.

[Scott Hilton]

I need 3 points from Brees, just 3........

[Mike Schutz]

I need 3 points from Brees, just 3........

Don't think it will be much of a problem - as you get your 3 points...
and I go to 0-3.

[Scott Hilton]

Well, he got -3 one week and 9 the other. My confidence in this thing is not on solid ground, lol. Green went down in the first quarter yesterday, that hurt.

Westbrook got you a ton of points, WOW!

[Jonathan Long]

My bench did better than my starters... but I'm not going to complain!!

Jon

[Scott Hilton]

That happened to me in week 1 as well. I am definetly still learning this thing. I didn't realize how much I didn't know about the players in the NFL until I have to make a team out of them, lol

[Mike Schutz]

I need 3 points from Brees, just 3........

Sorry Scott.

But I'll take the win!

[Scott Hilton]

Sorry Scott.

But I'll take the win!


I think I said I wasn't overly confident in the 3 points, lol. Man, what happened to the Saints? I mean, Brees led the league in passing last year? I hope they get this straightened out during the bye week! :eek:

[Jonathan Long]

Whats with all of the trades going on?

Jon

[Scott Hilton]

We are not all 3-0, lol. I actually thought there would be more trades going on, but maybe that is because we are only a 8 team league. Of course, with all of the injuries this year, the trade market may start heating up some more. Steven Jackson out for at least 2 weeks, Andre Johnson out and not determined for how long yet, Larry Johnson is having issues, Mark Bulger is hurting, Kellen Winslow is hurt, Javon Walker is ailing, Ahman Green is doubtful etc. eecks

[Jonathan Long]

Since we're only an 8 team league I would guess that there would be less trades... there's a deeper pool of players that haven't been taken.

I might be 3-0 but I'm sure that others will catch up during the season. There's plenty of football yet to be played!

Good luck to all this weekend! (even my opponent - since they're not doing so well)

Jon

[Scott Hilton]

PLAYOFF TIME,

Total Impact, that is tough luck to you. You were one of the better scoring teams in our league, but caught the bad match ups for you more than once.

Go Blue, what a great comeback to make the playoffs!

Just want to thank you all for allowing me to play in the league, it has been a fun first experience of fantasy football for me.

[Jonathan Long]

It has been a very interesting year!

With all of the injuries and players just flat out not playing well, then factor in players overacheiving....

It's been fun!

The injuries have been crazy this year, especially at the RB position.

This has been an interesting league this year. It took a while to get players together who could play more than one or two games in a row and play pretty well. The playoffs will be interesting.

Thanks everyone.

[Ryan Scott]

Thanks to the sub-par play of one Mr. Tom Brady, I came amazingly close to pulling the regular season championship away from one Jeremy D. Scott (he's had about seven Patriots on his roster the whole season, but I've somehow kept it close).

Our league starts playoffs next week, but Mr. Scott and I have earned byes, so we'll have to wait a little longer for a solid rematch (we also split the season series between our two teams).

[Scott Hilton]

aha, so I see he used the same method in your league as he did in ours, lol.
