I hope we have a lot of people ready to spend $$$ this year because with 10 teams there Re on a be a lot of options!

Maybe we add an extra bench or 2 since we dropped down in teams? Should increase cheating opportunities!

I was thinking of making it 2QB. :getin:

But I only have 12 minutes to make such a decision so I think I'll keep it as-is.

Given bye weeks with more than 2 teams out - with 10 players some people just won't have someone to start. And a low QB bench means not a lot of cheating opportunities.

I figure a few benches don't need any real extra prep for a last minute change - but starting lineup could change what people have prepped. Not all of us have a fancy system to spit out projections in 2 minutes for any setup like you do ;)

I'm going to keep it as is for now. If it turns out to be a problem then you can yell at me next year.

And hey, it takes more than two minutes to spit out a projection. After all I have to manually highlight players. :)

That's a nice set of 11 dynasty points there, it would be a shame if 3 rings were to happen with it

Yeah, that is what I was referring to when I said I hosed the draft up. Thanks for your answers to my weird Egyptian question. I find the differences in responses from different demographics fascinating.

Couple things:

A) Please let me know what charity you're playing for.

B) We've already raised $2419 for charity, which is pretty awesome!

C) Rather than scour through the charity logs this year I'm going to work on the honor system and please tell me here when you've made a donation. That way it's easier to keep track of things.

D) Don't forget to cheat!

I bid $100 (10 Points) this week!

No limitation whatsoever. I make the donation myself so I just need a POC. I would prefer it not be something I would regret getting mail for the rest of my life, so if you could avoid NAMBLA that would be nice.

I recommend Charity Navigator if you want a suggestion.

This year I will be competing for FIRST Robotics Competition Team 3650. FRC is a STEM outreach effort that does an amazing job of inspiring kids into technical careers.

I donated $50, I can find the date/receipt if needed. That puts me at $750 FAAB if I understand this correctly, and I'll be cheating tomorrow, because my bench made a bunch of points. Still thinking on my charity as well.

Weekly cheating

Todd Gurley (4.7) to DeAngelo Williams (33.6) = 28.9 difference
Eric Decker (12.2) to Kelvin Benjamin (18.1) = 5.9 difference

34.8 total points, so $348 from my $750 balance


I need to get better at setting my lineups, or this is going to get expensive.

I change my charity to Soul Food Cafe in Conway, Arkansas where I live. There's a good chunk of religious stuff involved, but they do really great work. Feed the hungry and even do haircuts and put a lot of work into getting people back on their feets again. Lots of positive energy and I want to directly take my winnings, when I dominate this league and win it ;), to somewhere that is directly translated to good stuff.

I'll be competing on behalf of the Downtown Women's Center which provides services to homeless women in Downtown Los Angeles's Skid Row. I've raised $25 which came in yesterday (in a post targeted to me) so my FAAB beginning Week 2 should work out to $214 after all debits and credits are applied.


My cheats will be as follows:

J.J. Watt (1) to Robert Quinn (3) = 2
Ryan Mathews (13.7) to Dwayne Allen (15.3) = 1.6
Ezekiel Elliott (11.7) to Ryan Mathews (13.7) = 2

Total: 5.6, $56

For this week I pre-bid 100 (for 10 pts.)
