Anyone starting up a brand new dynasty draft anytime soon? I've never tried dynasty but i've been dying to try it out and none of my RL friends are willing to try it.

We have an open slot in the I Paid What for Who? dynasty money league, if you're interested! We had a guy bail out. The annual dues are $25 + 1/12th of the cost of the MFL league fees, and there's a cash payout for first through third place plus the winner of the consolation tournament bracket.

Here's the thread: https://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3740832
Here's the league: http://www64.myfantasyleague.com/2016/home/79286
Here's our rules: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1UnTCMrEn7Wx5ofw_mG_ke_htdtVIY1LZWr907Cx8gn8/edit?usp=sharing
Here's what would be your team: http://www64.myfantasyleague.com/2016/options?L=79286&O=07&F=0002

2016 player salaries are still listed, so all the salaries will be going up by 10%, you'll have an opportunity to drop players, and then we'll have our free agent & rookie draft shortly before the season begins.

e. I'll be honest, though, this team went 2-12 last year and needs serious rebuilding. But we have a salary cap system so if you dump garbage players and work hard during the year on the waiver wire there's no reason you couldn't turn it around in a year.


We ran our dynasty league on ESPN the first year and then switched to MFL. It's possible to do it on Yahoo or ESPN, but their options for customization of your league are fairly limited. You cannot do things like taxi squads, trade draft picks for players, automatically adjust player salaries, etc. However they are free.

The cost for an MFL league if you sign up during the summer and defray the cost across all the owners is pretty minimal, though.

When setting up dynasty league rules I highly recommend being completely explicit and thorough. It can be a pain in the rear end and people will call you a nerd but anticipating and ruling on the key sources of friction will help a lot. It's more important to get it right with dynasty than it is with a normal redraft league for obvious reasons. Even more important if there's money involved.

The most critical things I'd say is making sure that people don't burn out, especially anyone with a losing team. Also make sure the one guy who was lucky enough to draft a rookie David Johnson doesn't forever dominate the league... e.g., escalate player salaries or have player contracts that end after 3-5 years or whatever you need to do to ensure there's gradual turnover of ownership. Make sure you have rules in place for how disputes will be handled, and don't succumb to the temptation to change rules mid-season.

Mostly looking for a brand new start up atm, but i'd probably be happy to join closer to the season if it's still open and i haven't found one yet.

Nice. Make sure to tell people that the only Jaguars worth their price in redraft are probably Allen Hurns and the defense.

Idk man, Allen Hurns was seen as a value pick last season around draft time, but i think he's currently on my do not draft list unless it's significant value. Lingering hamstring issues and Marqise Lee actually showing something last year has me worried this season.


Probably just stay away from Jaguars imo.

Also you guys are doing it wrong, if you pick at 12/13, it won't be 26/27 it'd be 36/37 as your next picks.

I've enjoyed this J stew-paul perkins debate because it's really made me get in there and examine the Carolina running situation from every angle I can think of. That said, I can't find a single angle that doesn't make me utterly shocked people want to take the 29th overall RB (in STandard, way worse in PPR) in 2016 whose team spent a top 10 pick on a running back... I would rather throw a dart at any other RB1 than that. I really don't get it, but still i have enjoyed this back-and-forth

This is honestly my thinking, i'm not touching any RB who's team drafted a RB anywhere that high, even if all signs and hype pieces point to that said rookie not having a significant impact on his workload. But hell, just having your team draft a RB that high is already significant impact.


I mean if JStew does pan out and still gives you RB2 numbers, that's great, but i'd rather let someone else find that out. At least in Perkins case, he's got a clear cut path to being the starting RB with minimal competition besides Vereen?

I have a feeling with the additions of Decker and Davis and their shift to a run-based offense, Walker's usage will dip. Say going from 65/800/7 (188 in 1PPR) to 50/700/4 (144 total) which is about what Ebron got last year as TE14.

As a reference, 2016's top 12 TEs in 1PPR were:
1. Kelce 229
2. Rudolph 210
3. Olsen 209
4. Graham 192
5. Walker 188
6. Ertz 185
7. Bennett 171
8. Brate 170
9. Pitta 170
10. Reed 168
11. Witten 153
12. Gates 148

I think Olsen, Walker, Brate, Pitta and Gates drop out of this list by the end of this year. Bennett I'm on the fence on.

Olsen? You're talking about Greg Olsen, dropping out of a list of top 12 TE's? in 1 PPR?


Can you list 12 TE's that will all score more than Olsen?

I am surprised he didn't go top three in the other drafts. People didn't pay enough attention to the format

Honestly even though it's a 2QB league, QBs don't get much of a bonus, sure it's 6 pptd but a lot of regular leagues are already that, and getting a hold of a top 3 RB that also gets a ppfd bonus is still more important than a top 3 QB. Just imo though.

You'll defo need to take a QB with your next couple picks though and hopefully still land at least a potential top 10 QB.

Ok just gathering some thoughts on a small thing i'm having.


So last season in a league i commission, i approved a trade, was slightly lopsided but i paid it no thought really. But i just learned that the trade was manifested through a madden football game between the 2 parties, basically the winner of the madden game gets the better end of the deal. Neither ended up winning the league.


Now honestly it's a bigger deal because the buy in for this league is $300 and i don't need outcomes coming down to who was better at playing madden. What would you guys do?

Warning and if it happens again, kicked out?

Honestly he's such a big name and his upside is so huge that most auction leagues will end up overbidding for him, I'd hop on him for $15 in auction for sure but he's not likely to go for that low but i wouldn't draft him unless he fell a couple rounds in redraft.

Ok, need some help on my 2nd keeper that's due by saturday.

I'm already keeping Jordy Nelson in the 9th round, but i have multiple options for my 2nd one that i can't make up my mind.

keeper round cost in parentheses

Tyreek (10th)
Spencer Ware (10th)
Powell (13th)
Davante Adams (10th)

1 PPR

I am probably in the minority, but I like Powell there.


He was actually who i was leaning towards due to it being a full PPR league and the barrenness that is the jets receiving corp, he could very well end up leading the team in catches.


but it's also the Jets and he's currently banged up i guess?

Could also just keep Davante and then draft Rodgers and Montgomery and live and die with the Pack. hah

Any league that gives you points per rushing attempt is sure to favor a RB in general.


Those bonuses to receiving yards for WR will probably not even be a factor all season.
