We've been chatting about this a bit in GroupMe, but we need to figure out/set up the following things before Thursday:


-Determine tiebreaker for playoffs - 3 conference winners, 3 overall top records?
-Establish Trade deadline (if we have one, we don't necessarily have to for dynasty)
-Decide on how 2017 draft pick order will be determined (are the top 6 picks determined by worst regular season record or worst regular season PF?, are bottom 6 picks determined by reverse final playoff standing)?

The regular website looks a great deal less ugly as well.

Did we decide on a draft order? I'm anxiously waiting to overbid on a running back because after my top 3 they drop off a very steep cliff.

Here is my understanding of how the rookie picks for 2017 played out:

1.01 - Return of the Dak
1.02 - Britches and Hoes
1.03 - SPARQ Week
1.04 - The Almighty K-Gregorians
1.05 - Bubba's Dynasty
1.06 - The Long Term Project
1.07 - Witten-Ness Protection
1.08 - Papes
1.09 - SuperCam: A Quest for TDs
1.10 - Tajae Mahal
1.11 - A Team Organized Towards a Goal
1.12 - Ground Control


Based on the GroupMe converstions we had at the end of the season, here is what I think we decided:

Top 6 picks determined by inverse order of regular season standing of non-playoff teams

Screenshot Tajae took of the final regular season standings: https://i.groupme.com/720x1280.png.a68cd402278b4d2c85c2701d0b6f4baa.large


Bottom 6 picks determined by inverse order of playoff finish: http://www79.myfantasyleague.com/2016/options?L=64289&O=79

Does that look right to everyone? Rounds 2-4 would have the same draft order as Round 1.

Works for me!

Going RB heavy year 1 certainly worked out pretty well but I'd love to move to a more balanced team over the next year or two. Willing to part with a decent chunk of value:
Ingram, Mark NOS RB
Kelley, Rob WAS RB
West, Terrance BAL RB
Edelman, Julian NEP WR
Clay, Charles BUF TE
Tye, Will NYG TE

Get at me.

Just saw the Alshon news - forgot I had that Kevin White trade out there! Still feeling good about the move, as I need to divest from some of my riskier assets with the Whites/Docstons/Colemans of the world, and I'm really high on Tyrell Williams.

Good trade, Forever_Peace.

Good trade, Forever_Peace.

I was actually thiiiiiiis close to rejecting it a few days ago but got distracted (I'm super high on Tyrell too). I actually don't expect White to be the bears WR1 next year even with Alshon gone but the news gave me the motivation to dig around again, and I came away thinking that despite the down year and timeshare, Yeldon is a reasonable RB4/5 floor guy in this format which is solid for bye weeks. Appreciate the patience while I worked through the offer!

"Tell that to Zod's snapped neck!"

So far I'm OK with this free agency season. Woods on the Rams is probably gonna be roughly the same as he was in Buffalo unless he really feels good back in the Colisseum. Jackson on the Buccs is gonna be awesome because Evans is gonna draw the best coverage and Jameis is capable of letting it rip on a regular basis. Also, if he's healthy, Lewis might get more catches without JThomas around. Plus if the Bears really try to make Patterson a thing that will be another.

Also, I just did this for fun:

Lmao, incredible.

If any QB-needy teams are looking to add a starter, I'm willing to part with Mike GOAT-lennon at a reasonable price. Hit me up!

So I have 4, possibly 5 starting QBs on my roster depending in what happens in Houston. Get at me is you're looking to improve the position, I'm open to trading any of them - but Wilson/Carr/Winston would take a premium to move.

Are we moving the site over to the MFL 2017 league season soon?

What's the plan/timing for doing waiver bids on FAs, and/or the rookie draft?

With the NFL draft coming up and rookie hype at its peak, it is prime dynasty season fellas.

Yeah, I saw that but the actual draft picks aren't allocated right in MFL - I think you need to go in and reorder them in the commissioner settings to match the spreadsheet.

"Tell that to Zod's snapped neck!"

and now to endlessly tinker with my draft list and attempt to discern who will be the secret great get sitting at the 45th pick of the draft

maybe I'll just pick whichever Iowa offensive player is highest, at that point I'm not getting any real value.
