2012 SJ Fantasy Football

[Rumpleforeskin]

Just checking the water here before jumping in. Anybody interested in a fantasy football league if I set it up?

 

[KYSportsWriter]

Through Yahoo again?

 

[Rumpleforeskin]

Yes.

 

[farmerjerome]

I'd be. And I'm sure Dr. J would be. The draft would just have to be after 8 Mon-Wed.

 

[rico_the_redneck]

I'm in.

 

[spikechiquet]

Sure, I know I need a 8th league to be in anyway.

*sigh*

I'm so lame.

 

[KYSportsWriter]

Count me in, Rumple. Is is going to be set up like the SJ fantasy leagues of the past?

 

[SalukiNC]

I'll play if you have spots open.

 

[Guy_Incognito]

I'll play, thanks.

 

[Batman]

I'll play if you're still taking applications.

 

[Care Bear]

Any spots left?

 

[Rusty Shackleford]

I'd be interested.

 

[Roland of Gilead]

Count me in.

 

[Rumpleforeskin]

I'll post the league details tonight. Seems like we have some people who are interested. Sweet!

 

[McNuggetsMan]

I'll play if there are still openings.

If you replied in this thread, check your PMs.

Edit: I can always change the settings, but I wanted to make you think about who you draft. Might add a defensive player for kicks and giggles.

Factory of Sadness is in.

I think the penalties for interceptions (minus-6 points) and pick-sixes (minus-12) is a bit harsh. Maybe make them minus-3 and minus-5 or minus-6?
I don't mind having them count against you, but no way should an interception be as harmful as a touchdown is beneficial. It basically means an intercepted hail mary at the end of a half or game can swing the outcome of the fantasy matchup, and one mistake on an out route can turn a strong day by your quarterback into a disaster.

If this is going to be a 16-team league, an IDP spot would definitely stretch out the talent pool. And if you really want to make this about draft strategy, set it up for a full point per tackle. That makes linebackers like Patrick Willis as valuable as a solid running back.

 

[Rumpleforeskin]

Batman, I like the way you think. Minus-12 was a bit harsh for QBs who throw Pick-6s.

Not a fan of minus points...but I'm in with The Tecmobowlers!
