Random thoughts while I have a moment.

TE sucks and for 85% of the league the position is just "start some teams 4th-5th best receiver." You may as well at that point just replace it with a flex, which at least gives people some options.

Trades should not have vetoes. It would be especially bad to have a waiting period in a league this big where you can't be sure everyone is paying attention.

I don't have strong feelings one way or the other about punters but am voting this way to keep the tally close.

D/ST is an afterthought in most leagues and I'm glad it gets some attention here. Given how few good starters are available at every position, I like having an extra position actually count. 20-team is complicated enough without adding IDP and having to know all the names that are out there for it. Fine with getting rid of negative points. Those have never been fun.

Fine with just leaving fantasy scores as-is if a game is suddenly cancelled. It isn't likely to happen too often but saves a lot of headache if it does.

Just did a quick count of the votes so far. Obviously this is unofficial since I in no way act on behalf of this league, its' commissioner, or any of its members.

quote:

---1: remove the Te slot and replace it with a flex

Yes - 4
NO - 12

At least twelve people are planning on drafting Kelce. Nobody tell them how many Travis Kelces are in the league.

I'll seriously never understand this when TE is consistently a lower scoring position than kicker every year and one or two of the top five are guys who put up half their points in a couple of monster games and just kinda farted around otherwise.


quote:

---2: Trades Need 2 days/8 veto votes, 1 day/8 veto votes, instant/no veto votes)
to process

2 days/8 votes - 0
1 days/8 votes - 5
0 days/0 votes - 10



quote:

---3: Remove the Punter position

YES - 9
No - 7

I'm stunned this one is this close. I really wanted it last year as a goof. Now that we've done it, I don't really care much either way but I think this league benefits from having more positions to score points with, so I voted to keep it. I totally get why people don't like it though.



quote:

---4: Revert to standard ESPN defense scoring

yes - 8
no - 8

Standard defensive scoring kinda sucks and I like it that the current setup has made defenses actually relevant. Certainly more relevant than 80% of the TES that get played every year. In a league where the difference makers are spread thin, turning a few defenses into those difference makers, and making most of the rest at least worth playing, helps with parity imo.



quote:

---5: Remove DST and add one IDP position

Yes - 2
NO - 14



quote:

---6: if a game is cancelled and not replayed, Final Fantasy score stands

YES - 12
No - 4



quote:

---7: If prop #4 passes, eliminate negative points at D/ST scoring

YES - 11
No - 5




quote:

---8: Remove D/ST and replace it with nothing

Yes - 3
NO -12

What about Monday August 28th? I don’t have any drafts on that day. Same time, 8PM Eastern. Does that cause problems with anyone else?

Monday doesn't work for me since I have my D&D game that night. I'm currently paying a slime barbarian. :sss:

Not sure how much we were thinking of moving the date but August 20th is also a no-go for me since Goon Beer League's draft is that night.

Also love the draft order format. Unless I go in the middle of the pack and then I hate it.

Anybody want a Miles Sanders or a Cameron Johnston? That's right, you could have the coveted Texans' Punter for the right price. Mostly looking for a TE that can do things like "catch a pass" and "actually be involved in play."

Oh yeah, there's usually 4-5 every year. The hierarchy is always...

2-5: Andrews and a few random guys, at least two of which got 1/4 of their total points in a single stupid game. Their point totals put them on par with about the 30th best WR in any given year.

A couple weeks ago I had been posting about being open to trades and a few people PM'd me, but I never got a chance to respond: I have not been paying much attention to fantasy because my wife's pregnancy had some issues towards the end (baby was breach, for those familiar, and baby girl is apparently stubborn like her mother and refused to flip). Baby was born last week; both her and momma are healthy thankfully but the wife is recovering from the c-section and our toddler has RSV which could kill the baby if we're not careful so I'm still not able to respond to PMs or negotiate trades right now.

Sorry you've had to go through that but glad to hear your baby and wife are alright!

Can't help but feel I'm probably gonna be on the outside looking in after this week.
