Dropped The hammer eh? Told the wife to catch a cab eh?

Well hope the situation change is all good!

That would be an ass whopping for me.

I told her she I would pick her up but she would have to drive home.

 

[Barilko]

[tlance]

I don't care what time we start. If moving things back an hour or so helps OBX, I am all for it.

When is the b league draft guys

Not trying to be a wise guy but why not just go to your team page on ESPN where it is counting down the clock to your draft time?

 

[bksballer89]

Monday can wait a while. I have a nice quiet weekend coming with the wife 800 miles away.

 

[averagejoe]

I have another draft at 8:30 chicago time.
I should be able to make it work.
I hope.

2 drafts at once? That could be tough given the online draft timers! What's the timer set to per pick in this league?

Lets see them multitasking skills Joe!

1) Pretty sure the timer is set to 90 seconds. But I prefer 1 minute 30 seconds.
2) The "multitasking" will only come into play if OBX's wife's plane is delayed. Good thing flights are ALWAYS on time!
3) My "multitasking skills" will really come into play Tuesday night. I have 2 drafts 1 hour apart and one is an online auction draft. Love the auction style. So I set the rankings for the other draft which is my IDP and kick return league (they award return yardage the same as rush/rcvg yards).

Just out of curiosity, how does the return yardage thing effect your rankings? There are so few kickoffs that are actually returned these days that it would seem like a nightmare to try and rank guys based on something that is so difficult to predict.

Even if her flight is delayed it will not hold us up. I am going to go to the cell phone lot about 6:30 Monday night and pull the draft up on my phone. That way all I miss is those few minutes between when she calls at 8 and when I get to the pickup area. Hopefully we will be done by then.

My big problem now is the dynasty draft I have at 8 that night, but my pre draft rankings are in already for at least three rounds and that draft is only five rounds. I am hoping I only miss the first round.

While I did say "kick" returns, it also includes punt return yardage too.
And since both are scored the same as rush/receiving yardage, the bump can be significant for the player rankings.

Nearly all kickoffs are returned, but many punts are not. So I look for players who either return both or primarily kickoffs. This gives guys like Tevin Coleman, Duke Johnson, Tyreek Hill, Ted Ginn and Darren Sproles a decent bump for 2017.

How big?
Well, Tyler Lockett had 711 receiving yards last year. But he had an additional 849 "return" yards (for a significant 1560 yards).

Some players you've probably never heard of or considered can put up enough return yards to be as productive as a WR3 or 4. And since this an IDP league as well, if you hit on a safety or corner that returns yards like Pacman Jones or Eric Weddle used to do, they can have close to 200 fantasy points for the season - which is significant.

I love that the return yardage is scored like that. It's a game changer.

Is Reek still returning this year??

Word is he wont be returning both. But he'll still be involved in the return game.

Didn't think of that Joe.

 

[The Foot]

Can't believe it's almost here.
