I need a reason to watch these teams, and someone actually set up a site for it.

https://altfantasysports.com/invite/7sbJhUiWh0


We'll draft Thursday at 8 PM EST.

Naturally, we all know nothing about these players and teams. However, you can click "Players" to see ADP and ownership %

Standard scoring and rosters, except I changed it from 1 QB to 1 Superflex, as there are only 8 teams in that league. Feel free to note any other changes that might need to be made.

Good question. There's a new American football league that hopes to develop into a farm system for the NFL. The league has 8 teams and games start Saturday

Hell yeah, can't wait to ride a TRich and Zac Stacy stack to glory.

I'll play.

e: This website seems kind of broken, which will make this extra fun. The ADP/ownership info is weird and appears to be out of order and unsortable.

I just joined. This is awesome.

In the interest of comity, I'm going to post my draft strategy. My focus will primarily be on guy that played for my college. Followed by guys I watched in college. Followed by guys where I look at their name and say, "Oh, him. Whatever happened to him anyways?" Followed by guys where I say, "That name looks vaguely familiar." Followed by Trent Richardson.

Sounds good. But I have to cut kickers and def or someone is going to end up without

Good thought.

Like there's a fine line here between playing enough players to be meaningful, playing players that have some reasonable chance of scoring, and having some flexibility with so you're not having to start the 4th RB from Memphis or whatever.

Right now I'm leaning toward 1 Super, 1 RB, 2 WR, 1 TE, and 2 W/R/Ts

Just a reminder: I keep an alternate player ready to round out the numbers last-minute, so if we get close to draft time and we still have 9, don't panic

Just a heads up: My son has something weird going on with his eye and I may need to go to urgent care.

Combine this with the fact that the AltFantasySports site is not recognizing my password and seems to be slow in sending me a reset link, and there's a chance I might not be able to launch the draft (which seems like it must be done manually).

I'll update when I get off the phone with a doctor.

Draft appears to be 'live'. Has this message:

Welcome to your draft! In this draft room, there are no round timers. Your commish will start things off and then you will receive an email notification when it's your turn to pick. Unfortunately, GMail has been marking these emails as spam, so be sure to check you spam folder for the first one. You can leave the page and come back and all of your data will still be here. Have fun!

So this might take forever?

I happened to have the draft window open and saw that I was on the clock with the 2nd pick, but I did not/have not actually received an e-mail alerting me about it. This is going to take days if people aren't getting alerts.
