New idea for a fantasy league

[Chef99]

Interesting, though. What if someone thinks Gronk is gonna be a bust? I am not really high on Jimmy Graham this year....although I highly doubt I'd call him a bust. Just an example.

Milk, this is a fine idea.

 

[TREFF]

Well I'm out. .got to much on my plate as is. Does sound interesting though.

So if the point is to be the low scorer, how will you handle the injuries in season? Is playing a guy who is out allowed? How about one listed as doubtful? Suspended?

Drafting injury prone guys is actually the best strategy in a league like this... Remember, that there is no bench and therefore going to be a draft and forget(this is the only way I think a league like this would work)...

I want to wait until I know how many owners before setting the eligible player list... But I do want many of the elite players to be drafted, what is the point of this if we make the pool so large that you can avoid getting some elite players??

As of now the IN- Milk, Chef, Tlance, obxyankee, haroldseattle=5

the interested but not confirmed- bksballer,wilwhite=2

need to hear from, @TKOSpikes ,@broncosmitty ,@Microwahevo ,@Yellow Fuzzies and other MBBRLers...

we need to get at least 8 owners...

***Note*** if we do get 12 owners a normal slow draft will take WAY to long, I will check ESPN if they can do a slow draft, but we may HAVE to use Fantrax, which then would mean we lose Tlance...

 

[broncosmitty]

I'm game. And you know where I stand on slow drafts. Here, there, email, via postcard, whatever, I prefer 'em.

I'll shift my mind from daydreaming bout catchers and relievers from the 20's and 30's to injury prone unproductive fullbacks now.

If it's draft and forget. .I'll play

I don't see a way for it NOT to be draft and forget...

So Treff is in Now we have 7...

No interest to me. I'm already in a shit ton of leagues.

Sorry I'm out. .... sounds fun - but too much else on my plate trying to figure out guys that will do good. ....

 

[Yellow Fuzzies]

Sounds interesting but I am out. Just too much going on.

We should do a slow draft with a 12 hour limit. You miss your pick, you Get the top ranked player at a position of need.

Also, I say no to 2 QBs. Takes almost all strategy out of the first 2 rounds of the draft unless the QB pool includes all starters.

The reason i like the 2 QB is that it protects from getting that HUGE advantage with an injured QB... If only one QB, and you just happen to own the lucky QB that gets hurt, then you pretty much win already... But with 2 QBs it limits that advantage...

 

[tlance]

You could also make the case that the schmuck who gets stuck with Rodgers is guaranteed to lose

 

[tlance]

And that could be based on nothing less than draft position

either way, the player pool is going to have to be molded depending on the number of owners... But i do think it is important to have the best players in the pool...

 

[HaroldSeattle]

I rather this be more of the usual. No 2 QB. More or less a reverse suicide league.
