fsif from the TFF AFC East thread started up one of the most degen leagues I've ever heard of for thread regulars, and I love it. Best ball, 12 teams, you are only allowed to draft players who are currently in the AFCE or have ever played in at least one game for an AFCE team. Yes, you are counting correctly, there are only seven week 1 known starting QBs that qualify (they did make passing yards count for less than normal as a slight compromise and it's full PPR). And honestly as I've started putting together my pool of draftable players, QB might not even be the most nauseating position. A lot of the guys who are a heartbeat from taking the starting job due to the QB1 sucking or being a high injury risk happen to be AFCE vets or in the division itself. Tight end is a wasteland and RB gets dark quickly too. Whereas you can find receivers who had 300-400 yards and a couple TDs under the couch cushions.

Oh also we are including both DST and kickers lol. I cannot find anywhere near 12 qualifying kickers. A DST qualifies if literally anyone on it has ever been in the AFCE which means most teams are fair game.

There's zero money on the line, it's purely for memes and to see what the hell even happens. I can't wait :getin: We're currently in round 2 of a slow draft and all startable QBs are long gone

I encourage other TFF regulars to spread this sickness to your own division threads. I'm morbidly curious which ones would make for the most and least viable player pools.

First, big thank you to Drunk Nerds for coming up with that sheet on such a short notice, it's going to help greatly with my draft.

Second, lol that AFCE League is torturous.

Third, speaking of degen leagues, it's the second year for my invention Blue Shell League!

In Blue Shell League, every week the manager in last place has the ability to “throw the shell” at the manager in first place - by forcing the manager to accept a single-player trade with them.
Trades must be position-for position and both players in the trade must have been in their respective starting lineups the week before. (So no getting Christian McCaffery for a kicker, and if you're on the edge of first, you can protect Christian McCaffery... by benching him.)

I created a complete list of rules and suggestions on things I learned last year here, in case anyone wanted to build a league themselves this year:

Ugh I’m really regretting trying to make a playoff run in my 0.5ppr keeper league last year with my mediocre team. During the season I traded my 2023 2nd for Etienne and now I’m struggling with how I’m going to draft.

I’m keeping Pollard, Etienne, D. Smith, then during our RFA auction I’m walking away with either Ekeler (doubtful), MAndrews, Henry, or AJB (don’t love the idea of having two WRs on the same team).

I have pick 5 in the draft and I’m guessing Chubb will fall to me, but by the time the 3rd round rolls around I just have to hope a good QB is still there like Burrow and I’ll just punt on TE if I don’t wind up with Andrews.

Good thing I’m heading into our new 3WR format with 3 to 4 RBs and only one serviceable WR :tif:

I’d be willing to give it a try.

If you really wanted to Mario Kart it up, you could:

Pick 3-4 random players (use Random.org or something similar to determine who gets them) to get the mystery boxes each week. The mystery boxes could contain:

Coins: You get three points added to your final score that week.
Banana peel: Some other player gets three points deducted from their final score (player must PM the commish with the player they’re using this against.)
Green shell: Player may force another player to play a non-injured non-bye player in their starting lineup (must declare before games start). Want to keep Patrick Mahomes and Baker Mayfield on your roster? Welllll…..
Feather: Player jumps over any obstacles thrown at them (nothing bad happens to them). If you think something bad will happen to you that week, you play the feather and you avoid it. If nothing was played against you, at least you jumped high.

Just like in Mario Kart, you can hold on to your mystery box item as long as you want during the season and only play it when you need to (but must play it in the thread/PM the commish before games start on Thursday). If last place wants to use their blue shell, they lose whatever mystery box item they have (and first place loses their item too). If a player who already has an item gets randomly chosen for a new mystery box in a week, they must decide whether to keep the item they have or go for what’s in the box without knowing what it will be.

These ideas all rule and now I have to wonder if I want to build a full-fledged Mario Kart Goon League or just stick with the established Blue Shell rules. My only hesitation is that this would require a LOT of commissioner attention and I don't know if I can do that all season long.

Was it Rotoworld that had that free stock market like league where each player had a value that moved based on people adding/dropping them, so you try and buy players you think will increase in price and accrue enough money to have an all-pro team by the end of the year? It must have been around 12 years ago or so. That was a fun format. The only annoying thing was the market opened at like 6am EST so you were kind of screwed on the West Coast when it came to getting the best prices.

My biggest learning curve is just gonna be learning all the players. It’s astonishing, though not terribly surprising how little overlap there is between standout college players and pro ones.

Or, at the least, the pool of “standout” college players is so large I can’t really keep up with them all. Maybe Amon-Ra was a big deal at *checks notes* USC? Maybe he was but it didn’t amount to much.

My QB is also named Bort

Speaking of keepers, I get to keep three of the below at a 2-round-higher cost, so someone drafted in the third would be kept for my first; someone drafted in the 10th would be kept for my 8th.
It is PPR, 1QB, 2RB, 2WR, 1Flex, 1TE


I dont think there is any options other than:
1.) Amon-Ra for a 4th
2.) Etienne for an 11th
3.) Brian Robinson for a 10th

Then during the draft I'll go Kelce in the first, Hurts/Josh Allen/Mahomes in the second, then WR and RB for the rest of the draft.

If looking at other rosters you think a lot of RB will be kept and you have a later draft spot, it might not be that bad to keep Chubb over Robinson, assuming you cannot mock someone out to your spot who is better (and not-PPR would help Chubb's value). Also assuming there is no penalty for keeping someone in the first round?

My line of text at the top explains the keeper cost. I cannot keep Chubb because he was a first and I have to spent a pick two rounds higher than I drafted them at before.
