Does it correct that before the season starts, or do I need to do something like enter the reverse of the draft order on the menu where it tells you to enter the draft order?

ESPN league for what its worth.

Not sure what happened, but it's not gonna change from what's currently listed. Just go in there and manually correct the waiver order. Luckily that's not too hard of a fix.

How many teams? Who would you be dropping him for? Regardless, yes he probably is droppable, but you also might be able to get a 3rd or a RB or WR flier for him. Worth asking any QB needy or rebuilding teams.

Where do you publish? Curious.

Also one guy kept telling me he read my stuff and there was a WR left he wanted when were at the endgame. I kept getting nervous to throw out Tajae because he was big stack and I didn't want to be sniped. His player was SSS. Bullet: dodged.

My last league drafts tonight and it is full PPR and I just noticed that instead of the standard 1 point/25 yards passing, it is 1 point/20 yards passing. Does this give much of a boost to QB's such that I should be looking to nab one a round or two earlier?

G to the D, yes. Weird that someone dropped him right AFTER Andre Williams was cut, the surest sign yet that the Giants will feature Rashad

Thanks everyone. I figured the same, but just wanted to make sure I wasn't overlooking anything. With the news of Forsett resigning, I'm dropping West for Jennings (assuming it goes through.)

Oh poo poo balls, I didn't realize Frank Reich was the offensive coordinator in San Diego last year with Danny Woodhead. Sproles is gonna FEAST! (He's OC in Philly)

Drop Stefon Diggs for him? I mean, maybe I could drop DeAndre Levy, but there's literally no one else I can drop with this team:

Just spitballing here, but for a 4,000 yard qb that is a difference of 40 points. While that bumps them up a bit in relation to other positions, it doesn't do too much in terms of relation to each other (a 4,000 qb scores 10 more points than a 3,000 yard qb). So I would say: DON'T bump up QBs in your rankings, since they're all relative, but DO pay slightly more attention to when QBs start to dry up, as the league might react by taking QBs sooner, in which case you'd have to make sure to grab one a bit earlier to ensure you get one that you find acceptable.

For your SPECIFIC roster I'd say definitely no. You don't need an RB lottery ticket, you've got RB depth in spades, and what you could use is a third WR lottery ticket.

Honestly with a 9 man bench it's easy to drive yourself crazy weighing options.

I mean, I personally like Sharpe a lot, and Stills better than Diggs. But, like I said, you're figuring out WR6's or whatever. Just choose the one you like best, and don't worry bout picking up Sproles (who has not really amounted to his potential in the past ~8 years)

Edit: aNd, hey, While your RB bench is really good, your RB starters might crap out. So, hey if you like sproles that much, grab him. I don't, but man if you're picking an RB6/WR6 who cares about numbers and opinions, just grab the guy who will make you happiest.

A hard question, since it feels like both their floors are pretty low. I gotta take the guy who might be the WR1 over the guy who will never, ever be the WR1, so its clearly sharpe for me.

Drop Diggs for Funchess. Camp reports have all been glowing about him and Kelvin's conditioning is a legitimate concern heading into week 1 with him on a snap count. Big opportunity for Funchess to step up as a favored target for Cam and that is some serious production.

You're finished, pork-o-nazi!
I am trying to help my poor friend who was forced to join his in-law's league with these hosed up settings:

QB: 0.5 for completions, 3 point PaTD, -1 for sacks

Rushing: 0.5 PPR, 6 point rushing TD, 10 yards per point

Receiving: 0.5 PPR, 3 point receiving TD, 20 yards per point

and stupid bonuses for each as well

It's too late for a custom Beersheet for this mess, and I don't know a site where I can input such bizarre settings. The best advice I could give him was that his first 4 picks should probably be some combo of a QB and 3 RB. Anybody have any other insight?
