:siren: Good news! Football is here! :siren:

I've renewed the Yahoo league from last year, so you should be able to accept the invite from there. I know some of you wanted to be notified through PMs or personal emails and I'll do just that if you don't show up.

The draft: Sep 7 @ 9:30pm EDT

The rules:

$30 entry fee, 12 players.
1st place gets 60% of whatever is left.
2nd place gets 30%.
3rd place gets 10%.
Snake draft, no auction.
3 divisions.

Last year we used PayPal and I think it worked out just fine in the end. If you want to use a third-party money safe thing, let me know.

Whoops, it looks like I never updated it. Were you one of the two teams who hasn't renewed (either Extreme Takeover or Dog poo poo)?

Even if you could make it to the draft I wouldn't blame you for not renewing though! Last year was a little hectic for me but I think I finally turned a corner. :D

I'll be emailing/PMing the OG crew and we can go from there. I'll keep you guys posted.

I've updated the OP to the best of my knowledge with team names and all that. I'll start asking around the FF threads for more players in a bit but we're off to a good start (even though I've set this up way too late).

I'm in, although that draft time doesn't really work for me, probably I'll miss the first 45 minutes to an hour. But the computer probably drafts just as well as I do anyway. I'll pay tonight.

Welcome back! These live drafts never last very long, are you sure you're OK with an autodraft team? Is everyone else OK with 10:00 EDT? It's not much but it might help? And I know we'll lose a couple if we push it back to 10:30.

I'll take a team if one's still available. Just confirm the opening in the thread and I'll PP to the address in the op. I can probably handle a 10pm EDT draft but any later than that and I'll be autodrafting the last half of it.

The only thing that felt better than joining fantasy football for the first time in 10+ years was grabbing Kupp at #2. Was it the best move? Probably not. Dude’s gonna come back down to earth at least somewhat. Did it feel great though? Hell yeah it did.

I forgot to mention, we've always played with 0.5 points per reception and 0.04 points per return yard.

We can hold a quick vote to decide if we keep them or not, but neither of them are game changers like 2 QB leagues or whatever.

Everything else is pretty standard. Here's the playoff seeding and tie-breaker stuff:

I'm okay with keeping both, and would also be okay with going to full PPR if you want but might be a bit late to change things around.

Looks like we're gonna be short one manager for now. :( I'll still try to offer the autodraft team over the next few days.

Also, Yahoo randomized the draft order for me since I tried to do it a bit too late. Here it is:

My team might garrote its coach on the flight home but Jerry Jeudy got exactly as many points as I needed.

I don't know if you all got this message from Yahoo, but here's what they sent me:

quote:

We understand Yahoo Fantasy Football managers have been awaiting further news regarding the Week 17 matchup between the Cincinnati Bengals and Buffalo Bills.

The Week 17 Bills-Bengals game has been officially canceled by the NFL and will not resume. Based on our previous announcement, all fantasy points accumulated in the Bills-Bengals game will be zeroed out to reflect the official NFL record. All matchup scores and league standings are now up to date.

Here’s how this information can affect your league:

Public leagues: All fantasy points from the Bills-Bengals game have been removed and the season is over. This includes prize leagues and we are planning to send payouts during the week of January 16.
Private leagues ending in Week 17: All fantasy points from the Bills-Bengals game have been removed and the season is over.

Unfortunately, there is no one size fits all solution to this issue, and we recognize that championship matchups have been affected by the cancellation of the game. However, commissioners can make manual changes to their league’s results via the Edit Team Points commissioner tool. Changes will be processed overnight and not be reflected immediately.

Here are some popular options to consider based on user feedback:

- Use original Bills/Bengals player projections from Week 17 and apply them to your matchup.
- Applying average points scored for rostered Bills/Bengals players over the last four weeks (or any time frame) to Week 17 matchup.
- Combining official Week 17 results with Week 18 matchup results.
- Removing results from Week 17 matchups and using Week 18 results instead.*
- Use Bills/Bengals player points from Week 18 and apply them to your Week 17 matchup.

Private leagues with a Week 18 end date: All fantasy points from the Bills-Bengals game have been removed. Week 18 matchups reflect those results — you are ready for your championship week.

In our final matchup it could have gone either way, so I'm a bit torn. On one hand, I say we stick with Yahoo's decision (like we pretty much always do - the QB/TE scenarios, postponed games, COVID/IR designations and whatnot). On the other, it's a pretty lovely situation for Pretzel Wagon and for Team Sadness (to a lesser extent I guess, as their third place matchup wasn't as close as the finals). I'm still leaning Yahoo, though.

Any thoughts?
