Hey, apparently it's time for my yearly "Find a replacement owner for my crazy IDP dynasty league during the worst part of the preseason and on a short deadline" post. Up for grabs is this team which was league champ in 2013, and lost the championship last year despite a very strong showing. Its previous owner is inexplicably MIA despite being one of the most active members of the league, so it's only with great reluctance I seek his replacement. Things you gotta know: 1. Keeper selection deadline is Sunday, 7/10. You'll pick 20 from your current roster and cut the rest. 2. Slow/email draft begins 7/17. Draft is rookies & FAs, and will be 17 rounds. Last year's was 12 rounds (stupid league voted to expand rosters by 5 during offseason, grumble grumble) and it took just under a week, mostly due to unfamiliarity. 3. No entry fee and no awards - you have to WANT to play in this crazy league just for the hell of it 4. I sorta prefer someone that'll pop into league chat sometimes and post some BS, not just do basic week-to-week team management and ignore trade emails & the waiver wire 5. Rules are here if you want to know about roster requirements / scoring 6. You have to put up with Azhais in yet ANOTHER league Email me if you're interested or have any questions.

Is there any consensus this year on where the best draft slot is? I have a choice in my main league, and I'm considering a mid-late slot, maybe 7th (of 12), I can pick up Lamar Miller and then maybe someone in the lower stud tier WR on the back end-maybe someone like AJ Green or Mike Evans.

"Best" spot assumes that everyone drafts perfectly which never happens, but in a theoretical draft it would always be ideal to pick 1st in a traditional snake format.

There are a lot of reasons that this is false, but this year it wouldn't be the worst strategy for the sake of getting AB84. If you still subscribe to the idea of taking an RB with your first pick, it's much better to go around pick 4 or 5 in a 12 team league. I'd say picks 1-3 are best if you plan to try zero RB. If you want to draft more traditionally, either side of 6 is pretty good. Mikey Purp fucked around with this message at 13:36 on Jul 8, 2016 |

I guess with Bryant gone and a healthy Big Ben he seems like a good bet...are people reacting/overreacting to last year's Running Back Holocaust?

Yeah it's looking like AB84 #1 in all formats, although I could see the reasoning behind going Bell at #1 too. The problem is that once again every first round RB has questions around their health, their O-line, the sample size for last year's performance, or some combination of the three. I do think that there is some overreacting to last season, but Zero RB has been gaining traction for a while and last season really showcased why. Even in an average year for RB injuries, top tier WRs are a surer bet than top tier RBs, and there's also the fact that it's a lot harder to take advantage of RB attrition picks when you haven't set yourself up at WR early in the draft, so what you end up with instead is a roster that is top heavy with guys who are more susceptible to injury and has very little upside if those guys go down. Rotoviz and 4for4 have a lot of good articles on the Zero RB strategy, so check those out if you can.

In my dynasty draft where I pick #2 I've been told that the #1 guy is almost definitely picking Brown, so I'm not looking to trade anymore unless someone came through with a crazy offer. OBJ is just too enticing.

OBJ is just too enticing. Yeah, OBJ pretty clear #1 dynasty asset in any fairly typical 1QB league. With 2QB/superflex, you can make the case for Newton or Luck, and with high IDP scoring, you can make the case for Watt. But even in those situations, OBJ is right there as arguably the top asset.

In the Half-PPR slow-draft I am in with fellow goons, Lamar Miller was available to me at pick 12/12 in the first. People went heavy on WR early in the beginning of the first round so RB's tended to slip just a bit. Jamaal Charles was drafted in the early 2nd. I don't want to say this is a consistent trend across the board but I wouldn't be surprised to see some shifts in ADP over the coming months that support the theory.

Hello friends. I'm in a bit of a pickle as commissioner in one of my leagues and have a non-football specific league management question for you all. Hoping someone has had a similar experience. It's a 12 team keeper league with friends where we keep 6 guys each year. One manager doesn't want to play anymore and another is is woefully inactive, so I think that it should be contracted down to 10 teams. (I know that the easiest solution is to fill those slots, but I'd like to keep it as a friends only league and I don't really have any prospective new managers at this point in time). I'm not sure how best to handle this. There's a couple issues that I've considered: 1) The rosters of the contracted teams - I suspect that the easiest solution is to simply make them all draft eligible for the remaining 10 teams. That makes for quite the loaded draft though. 2) The biggest issue I think is that draft picks have been traded. The manager that no longer wants to play traded his 1st round pick for this year. If I simply eliminate these two teams, then that draft pick disappears. Definitely not fair to the manager that traded for that pick. Has anyone been involved in a similar situation? How was it handled? Are there other issues that I haven't thought of yet? I've tried to find some advice articles regarding contraction but haven't really found anything helpful.

What I did for traded draft picks for contracted teams is to make their draft picks the middle of the draft (6 & 7) then basically you just skip whatever picks they own and assign their traded picks to the new owner in whatever round they happen. You can only really do this in a manual draft though. So if they traded a 1st for a 5th, in round one the owner receiving the 1st would get the 6th overall in addition to their own pick, let's say 12th overall, then later in the draft you skip picks 5.6 and 5.12 e: for contracted teams you could have an FAAB auction for the best keepers available if your league uses FAAB. Other than that, I don't really see a way to do it, unless you just want to rank everyone from worst to first last year and have an "expansion" draft before everyone declares their keepers and then give everyone a pre-draft trading period to shuffle around whatever they want. The easiest, and likely most fair and parity-enducing way, would be to just throw them in the pool though, yeah Teemu Pokemon fucked around with this message at 16:19 on Jul 12, 2016 |

I could theoretically keep all 12 teams for the draft and simply assign the shittiest players in the league that would never be drafted as keepers for the 2 contracted teams. That way picks are unaffected, and I could just delete them after the draft.

Theoretically, you could just leave the two teams in and adjust the schedule to make it so they play each other every week, then just manually change their score to a 0-0 tie every week, but I'm not sure if that's more or less work

It's a very deep league, so those were my only LBs at that point. But maybe half the rest of the league only had a couple, and only 2 or 3 others had five or more. I ended up adding Gerald Hodges, which doesn't help with the bye week, but he definitely had the most upside of remaining LBs. Dynasty, so bye week isn't a big deal, and there should be plenty of opportunities to trade during the season if I need. Edit: I'm basically screwed a couple weeks anyway. Week 8 I'm going to be missing Mosley, Bowman, Hodges, Robert Quinn, and OBJ, and week 11 I'm losing Julio, Keenan Allen, Decker, Perryman, and Brandon Marshall. In full PPR + high defensive scoring, pretty sure I should just pencil those in as two losses. sourdough fucked around with this message at 20:39 on Jul 12, 2016 |

Hodges has a LOT of upside, and I thought he was sadly misused while he was on the Vikings. Just keep an eye on him during training camp to see whether he beats out Wilhoite for the spot next to Bowman. If nobody's beaten you to it yet, grab Ben Heeney. He might not play much this year, but he definitely seems to be worth a stash.

Demario Davis and Kirksey, Dansby, and Keenan Robinson are the best of the bunch. But I think I need to start filling out other roster needs. No DBs yet  Though still a few probable DB2s, I think, so about time to grab some.
