Hey guys, we're going to need to restart the draft as I meant to say August when I initially announced. Sorry to be a pain... see you in August...

Not fair, there should be fantasy insurance for this sort of off field stuff.

Yeah its called dont draft head cases early. He had Red flags all over him in college.

 

[manureid]

I once traded pick 1 for Jamarcus Russell and some steak knives in fantasy so unlucky as far as I am concerned

Ha, yeah half the players in the league are capable of similar tbh.

Quarterback (QB)	1	5
Running Back (RB)	1	9
Wide Receiver (WR)	2	10
Tight End (TE)	1	6

Above are the position limits, and we've had a few over drafts.

manureid

Sampson (RB) and Royals (WR)

Gridiron Warrior

Bryant (WR)

Bucking Beads

Williams (WR) and Sanders (QB)


For those tagged, just need you to choose a player from that position to cut, so I can finalise the draft. It can be the draftee, or anyone else with that position.

Sorry, should also say, post it in here, cos adds/drops aren't possible on the site while the draft is on.

Drop Miller RB and Boutte WR.

Cut Doubs please

Alright, draft is in the books, and rosters are up to date. Can everyone just double check and make sure all is good. I know the belief is that I am perfect and infallible, but I did spell the word 'beautiful' wrong in a spelling test one time in grade 1, and it haunts me to this day. Only word I got wrong. Entire school life.

Annnnnnnnnyyyway...as per usual, post-draft waivers has been set to 4 days, and I'll change it to the usual 2 days once they go through.

If you don't remember, I always **** up the time they process, so best just to get them done over the weekend. My logic says they'll process Monday night. But sometimes my logic doesn't resemble earth logic.

Have at it!

Great, I lose to panda2com by under 2 points after Jalen Carter gifts me a donut score.

Great.

(I also left Keon Coleman, Myles Garret and Deebo on my bench, but heck lets blame Jalen...)

Thought I had no chance of hanging on

Wouldn’t be surprised if they some way take points of me when they go over the stats

Week 1

TCols Stars 235.3 def. Fueys Haze (6-5) 189.9
Offense
3. Josh Allen (TCS) 46.9
2. Patrick Mahimes (FHZ) 30.3
1. Michael Penix Jr. (FHZ) 29.6

Defense
2.5. Jordyn Brooks (TCS) 15.5
2.5. Tyrel Dodson (FHZ) 15.5
1. Buddha Baker (TCS) 13.5

Not a great start for the Haze, defense didn't really fire a shot, but still a better effort than Wk1 2024. Impressive first up score by the Stars, will always be a threat with Allen at the helm, though. Tough decisions with the Purdy injury and whether to rely on Tua to come back from a horror Week 1.

Hedeby Berserkers 205.9 def. BETA Warriors 174.7
Offense
3. Baker Mayfield (HED) 30.2
2. Kyler Murray (HED) 24.3
1. Cortland Sutton (HED) 19.1

Defense
3. Julian Love (HED) 18.0
2. Zack Baun (HED) 13.5
1. Edgerrin Cooper (BER) 13.0

Warriors debut didn't go as hoped, but it wasn't as bad as it looked with 10 double digit scorers (as a comparison Pistols Dolphins had 8, but scored 50 more pts), and another two with 9+. Just the higher scores weren't there. Berserkers had 4 players score 2.5 or less, and STILL hit the 200 mark, scary thought.

Pistols Dolphins 227.8 def. Galactic Gobsmackers 204.7
Offense
3. Aaron Rodgers (PID) 35.7
2. Derrick Henry (PID) 30.2
1. Caleb Williams (PID) 28.3

Defense
2.5. Foyesade Oluokun (PID) 15.5
2.5. Kyle Hamilton (GOB) 15.5
1. Alex Highsmith (GOB) 14.0

After a disastrous 2024, Dolphins start on fire thanks to the star core of QB/RBs. Pearsall a nice surprise also. Gobsmackers didn't do much wrong, scoring 204 themselves, with the lowest individual score of 6.

Pandas Broncos 210.1 def. Purple Vandals 208.2
Offense
3. Justin Fields (VAN) 33.0
2. Puka Nacua (PAN) 24.1
1. Emeka Egbuka (PAN) 23.6

Defense
3. Ernest Jones (VAN) 17.5
2. Quay Walker (PAN) 16.5
1. Brian Burns (VAN) 16.0

First barn-burner of the year, with a 3.8pt deficit going into MNF Vandals needed Justin Jefferson to outscore Andrew Van Ginkel... and he did... just not by enough. This is one that might matter at the end of the year, Carter getting ejected without a down played could be quite costly.

Arakaans Assassins 211.3 def. Manureids ADP Redeemers 157.5
Offense
3. Lamar Jackson (ARA) 34.6
2. JJ McCarthy (MAD) 26.4
1. Garrett Wilson (ARA) 22.5

Defense
3. TJ Watt (ARA) 16.0
2. Cam Little (ARA) 15.0
1. Fred Warner (MAD) 13.5

Brutal first week for our other debutant, with 7/9 offensive players not meeting their projected. Assassins continue doing what they do well, and that is score points. Have scored 200+ in 7 of the last 9 regular season games, and 11/16 dating back to Week 1 2024. Very consistent performer.

Chisms Chasers 194.2 def. Beads Army 173.0
Offense
3. Justin Herbert (BEA) 37.3
2. Jayden Daniels (CHC) 23.9
1. Jordan Love (CHC) 21.4

Defense
3. Nick Bosa (CHC) 16.0
2. Chris Boswell (BEA) 14.0
1. Byron Young (BEA) 13.0

2024 Runner-Up Chasers open with a workman-like win, nothing flashy, just a good solid score, what should be expected from Week 1. Beads ruing his WR spots, totalling 14.2pts with nearly 70pts sitting on the bench. 2024 roles could reverse should the Giants make the switch to Dart soon...

 

[Chism]

Is it 2019 again?

Since when does Russel Wilson nudge 40pts and i nearly benched him for Bryce Young for QB 3 but kept him because he was playing my team and our woeful defense did not let me down!

fuey saying he could be benched for Dart fired him up!

[arakaan]

Just wondering are others seeing me as scoring 200.7 on the scoreboard for week 2?

Adding the players up it comes to 221.8 but I'm seeing 200.7 on my score.
