coronaball posted:I'm doing a live draft in a couple weeks, but some of the managers are flakey and I know at least one won't show. What's the best draft software that also autodrafts for absentee managers? Last year we used Clickydraft, but it doesn't autodraft so we had to kind of do BPA for a team and it ended up being a little strange. Live draft with stickers is the best IMO. As for absentee drafters, I would just go with BPA according to ESPN or whatever. I think FBG and 4For4 have draft software but it's part of the subscription.

Yeah just say upfront what the plan is for no-shows. Might want to say upfront what the handing-off-a-zombie-team criteria/plan is, too. Flakiness can kind of snowball with players a person didn't pick and then they lose the first couple of weeks etc. etc.

Jayson Braddock @JaysonBraddock 22m22 minutes ago Arian Foster's groin injury is serious in nature. Source said it should require surgery & may be candidate for IR w/ designation for return.

They don't seem all that sold on Blue and will probably have some kind of clusterfuck committee. Hopkins is the only Texan you should be drafting right now.

Published Tue Aug 4 1:27:04 p.m. ET 2015 (USA Today)Houston Texans RB Alfred Blue (cramps) was carted off the field Tuesday, Aug. 4 with leg cramps, but he is supposedly fine. Blue received the repetitions that RB Arian Foster (groin) would have received. Alfred Blue sucks.

Who among the following free agents will have the best chance at not sucking this year? Ray Rice, 28, 1431 Carries, 4.3 YPC Chris Johnson, 29, 1897 Carries, 4.5 YPC Steven Jackson, 32, 2742 Carries, 3.9 YPC Pierre Thomas, 30, 816 Carries, 4.3 YPC Ahmad Bradshaw, 29, 1052 Carrier, 4.6 YPC Knowshon Moreno, 28, 4.1 YPC Amergin posted:Think the lack of a significant run game in Houston will drop Hopkins's value (more than the QB situation already has)? Houston has plenty of cap room for 2015 so I wouldn't be surprised if they picked up a not lovely RB FA. Hopkins has already demonstrated skill when around sub par QBs so I would expect the increase in volume to benefit him.

Bill O'Brien is a "character guy" fetishist so that pretty much rules out Rice and CJ. If they make a move in FA it will probably be Pierre Thomas, who can still catch passes and would be useful in whatever Frankenstein committee they come up with.

Bradshaw was great in Indy's passing offense too and was a legitimate threat, assuming his leg doesn't just fall off before the season starts.

What's that website that takes ADP rankings and randomizes them a little so you can give them to the douchebags that didn't come prepared? I totally had a few copies of them with me last year at my $100 buy in draft..

I'm keeping LeVeon Bell this year in the third round. However, last year I traded my 2015 third round pick away. So I would have to use my 2nd round pick to keep him. I was thinking I could trade my 2nd round pick for a 3rd and a 5th, if I can find someone to bite. My reasoning being since I would have to burn that 2nd round pick on Bell anyway, might as well get an extra 5th round pick out of it. Thoughts?

So you would trade a 2nd round for a 3rd and a 5th round, and then use the 3rd round on Bell? I dig it. Toss in your last pick since you won't be using it.

Yeah I'd be losing the 2nd either way so I figure if I trade it for the 3rd and 5th, then keep Bell with the 3rd, I just got an extra 5th rounder.

Well I still have to find someone who will take the deal. It's a pretty fair offer I think. I was mostly asking to see if you guys think it's a trade someone would accept. I could always offer a 2nd and a 6th, and so on, because why not get a free pick. RCarr fucked around with this message at 23:42 on Aug 4, 2015 |

Only in a keeper league. In normal leagues you can only trade picks pre-draft.

On a related note, nothing makes me  more than going through the Roto blurbs and finding out about a significant injury via a secondary blurb it created. Case in point was reading about PT and Lawfirm being courted by the Texans for some Godforsaken reason. Who had an early draft and drafted Foster? Inquiring minds want to schadenfreude.

OK, yesterday I asked about a choice between trading for Doug Martin, Charles Johnson or Zach Ertz in my keeper league. The feedback I got was to go for Martin, but the asking price for him is crazy, and the asking price for Zach Ertz (5th rounder) and Charles Johnson (6th rounder) are very comparable. Who should I get?

Who should I get? You need to fill in some details - is the 6th the only cost you will have to pay for Johnson, or does he have a subsequent yearly keeper cost as well? If so, how much? Do you have a limit on keepers? What are your other keeper options instead, if any? Edit: I reread your original post and answered a few of my questions, but I still need to know the cost one as well. If there's no go forward cost for Johnson, he's definitely worth a 6th. Ertz I'm less sure about straight up, let alone more expensive. Franks Happy Place fucked around with this message at 04:18 on Aug 5, 2015 |

I didn't realize that keeper cost was a thing. Nope, no keeper cost whatsoever. You can keep six keepers "free" but no more than that.

Welcome to my roster Pierre Thomas. Jamaal, Demarco, and Jeremy will tell where on the bench to sit. Cameron is new so maybe you and Ray can tell him how this works. Knile will help. Don't mind Doug and Charles, they're just hashing out some poo poo.

BeerSheets has a 2QB option if you want to feel lazy, although the disparity between projections and ADP gets pretty high.
