You probably do not want Christian Ponder as your QB. Go for Vince Young.

That's the best part of this league. Kirk Cousins will be a serious draft pick.

The last championship was Chad Henne vs. Christian Ponder.

Juiced only won because my Aaron Hernandez was out killing people instead of playing TE for my squad. I will not make the same mistake twice. All of my draft picks will be model citizens.

I've been in a different 20-team league the past 8 seasons. I won the championship twice in a row back in like 07-08 and I haven't come close since. So basically I'm planning on dominating (top 15 bitches).

S1 was pretty great in that my team was a tire fire that started 1-6 and then finished the season 5-1 and trucked through the whole consolation ladder, S2 was pretty great in that waiver pickup Ben Watson was the second most productive player on my team due to a crazy string of injuries and cratering (Ryan Grant, Brandon Marshall, Donovan McNabb, other guys) and I still beat commish to stay out of last place, S3 was pretty great in the near-total roster turnover I had + Cam Newton going crazy, and last season was pretty great in that it ended in the equivalent of the end of the Titans/Rams super bowl with Crabtree falling 1.4 points short of a championship win.

S1 was pretty awesome, and it says a lot about this league that S1->S2 was the only season we lost like 5, but after that, we've all pretty much stayed with it. AND, DiscW has entered the wait list, eager to return to the fold.

19th (but 6th in points scored), Champion (and 1st in points scored), Champion (2nd in points scored), 8th (4th in points scored)

My team my second year was unbelievable. I had the number 1 QB (Aaron Rodgers), the number 1 RB (Arian Foster) plus a top ten RB in my flex (Steven Jackson) and a top seven WR (Hakeem Nicks), and the #1 Defense (Bears). Without a doubt the best team I've ever had in any fantasy league.

My first year I was on fire for so long. So many people ignored my warnings that return yards mattered a lot. Sproles was such a great late steal at RB, and him along with picking a team that has a great RET unit just made me shred teams for a while.

EDIT:
Punt return yards mattering as much as RUSH yards is a huge thing. Don't overlook it! I think I have KRET yards at about as good as receiving yards.

Breesus Christ moved from 4-9 in our first season to 7-6 in our second so here's to hoping we find another Owen Daniels this season. Unfortunately I'll be on vacation the night of the draft but, seeing as it's the last night, I'll probably be able to handle it.

Is it too early to setup draft lists or am I missing something?

I haven't heard anything else, so I assume the revision to the draft order is correct.

You're allowed to do whatever the poo poo you want now, trade picks, set your board, whatever.

The only thing I have to do, is set the schedule.

No, what I mean is the app is garbage because you can't do the draft from it like you can with yahoo's app.

It seems alright compared to the NFL.com app, though.

He's right. Looks like they've got a draft app built for iOS, but not android: http://games.espn.go.com/ffl/resources/help/content?name=fantasy-football-on-mobile

It was previously stated but I'll also be on vacation for the draft. Setting up my pre-ranks now. Here's hoping AP drops to me in the first and that I also draft several of his clones in the second through sixth rounds as well
