NFL coming up...

[quickdodge®]

Now that the 2011-2012 NBA season* is over, let's get into football season. We've got less than a month and a half until preseason begins.

How do you guys feel about this year?

Mike, are you, or anyone else for that matter, interested in doing a fantasy league? What's up? Later, QD.

[quickdodge®]

Can't believe no one likes football. Later, QD.

[Sinfix_15]

Hope the Broncos go 0-16. The 49ers are going to win the superbowl.

[masanomi3]

New Orleans saints! all the way!

[Sammich]

Titans fan here...our offseason was pretty decent..wish we didnt pursue manning and would have been able to get an even better defense and possibly a new/better center.

i've never done fantasy football but i'd like to get into it

I'm interested to see what Peyton does. I'm also interested to see if tebow will start any, and what happens when he does. Only 2 things that interest me this year, honestly.

I'm down for the fantasy!

Lol, now you hate the bronco's because tebow left? Come on man, i know you love tebow's dirty underwear..... but would you have honestly chose him over peyton?

I hope the bronco's AND the jets do well. I wish them both the best.

It's not as simple as "because Tebow left". Yes, i would take Tebow's career vs the last 2 of Peyton's career, time will tell if that would be a good decision or not. They could have kept Peyton and Tebow, they didnt have to trade him. If the Bronco's said "fuck this guy, we hate him, im trading him the first chance i get" i would have more respect for them. They didnt, they lied down the very last second. Broncos had no reason to trade Tebow. 4-12 team went to the 2nd round of the playoffs with a rookie QB. No other 1st round QB in the history of the NFL would have been traded under those circumstances.

Ive actually never done fantasy, but me an some guys do $10 a week pick to win tournaments. Basically just pick winners and losers and MNFL score for tie breaker.

Id be down to do fantasy league though!

Im a patriots fan, and i think they are in the Superbowl this year. Easiest schedule, stronger team, Brady has maybe 2 years left tops , Giants got weaker, etc.

[Vteckidd]

I honestly dont care about Peyton Manning, Broncos will be decent, but i dont care what they do.

Tebow storyline will be interesting in NY fo sho

i forgot do we play yall this season? i know we play colts twice

[Captain-Obvious™]

Steelers. Game 1 vs. Denver. Gotta take our revenge for that playoff game last year. Hopefully this time Ike Taylor doesn't get the shit stiff armed out of him.

[Jdm94Coupe]

REALLY? Not so sure it will be positive though.

[BanginJimmy]

Bring on the fantasy.


Bears are going to struggle in the O line again this year, but I think they improve toward the end of the season. Cutler and company just dont work well with the Martz offense.

Defense will be solid early but wear down come December. As much of a Urlacher fan that I am, it is time to start transitioning in some new blood there to keep him fresh late in the season.

Hopefully Hester gos back to returning all kicks and has less offensive duties. He is a game changer as a returner, forgettable as a receiver.

[BanginJimmy]

Brady has maybe 2 years left tops

I was talking about this to a friend of mine. Pats really need to improve their running game and O line if they want Brady for more than a couple more years. I just dont see Brady going to decrepit like Favre did so unless they can show they can protect him, Pats lose Brady younger than his play would dictate.

[Jdm94Coupe]

Brady has maybe 2 years left tops

I find this VERY hard to believe. I was thinking 4 years or so.

[Julio]

I will stick with the Packers again.. However, I think the 49ers got this next season..Detroit will be good.. Patriots will whoop some ass like always and lose the most important game.. Denver will be a .500 team..carolina will also have a good year... Shit, this year is going to be good.

Im down for fantasy, if we use the nfl league.. Easiest.. And only one QB..yup.. Only 10 slots..

[quickdodge®]

I've sent Julio, Sammich, Vteckid, JDM94Coupe and Bangin Jimmy the FF league info.

I set the draft to be July 21 and it's set on auto draft. Let me know if you'd rather it be a live draft. I can set it that way and if you can't be a part of that, you will automatically be auto-pick.

I need 4 more to complete a 10 team league. If more than 4 want in, I can make the league bigger. Let me know! Later, QD.

[nelson9995]

If any of you guys would care to explain to me how this works, sign me up. Sounds interesting but I've never done it.

I'll be honest, I just sign up and let it automatically run most of the time. Worst case scenario, you don't do shit and see where you land. But it's pretty easy once you get in. I always let it do automatic draft. As far as in the season goes, you can go into your starters and substitute them out. The league will let you know who on your team is injured so you can do that. Later, QD.

[nelson9995]

Ill give it a try!

[quickdodge®]

A PM with the info has been sent your way. Later, QD.

Ive never done fantasy but basically:

Its like an all star team. You start with a draft, and you draft players you think will score you points. In this case it looks like Auto Draft so the league will draft players for you.

Before each week you have to set a "lineup" usually consisting of a starting QB, 2x WR,2x RB, TE, Placekicker, usually 1 defensive player and i think you get a flex RB/WR. These guys score points. YOu could have Tom Brady, Adrian Peterson, Randy Moss, etc all from different teams but what they do in their individual games effect your Fantasy teams standings.

Scoring is usually:
Scoring

Players earn their team points based on their performance in their weekly games; for example, each touchdown counts as 6 points, a certain number of yards gained counts for points, and so on. In almost all cases, players earn points for passing, rushing, and receiving yards. Passing yards (sometimes touchdowns as well) typically earn about half as many points as rushing/receiving yards, since QBs normally get many more. Negative points are also usually given for turnovers, and kickers earn points for field goals and extra points (sometimes negative points for missed kicks). Bonuses can also be given for exceptionally good performances, like a QB throwing for over 300 yards, or a kicker making a long field goal. Team defenses earn points for things like sacks, turnovers, safeties, etc. Individual defensive players typically do not earn points for team-wide stats such as keeping the opponent under a certain score or yardage total, but rather for tackles or turnovers made.

A typical scoring format follows. Again, there are many variations used:

1 point for 25 passing yards
1 point for 10 rushing yards
1 point for 10 receiving yards
6 points for a touchdown
4 points for a passing touchdown
-2 points for every interception thrown or fumble lost
1 point for each extra point made
3 points for each 0-39 yard field goal, 4 points for each 40-49 yard field goal, and 5 points for each 50+ yard field goal
2 points per turnover gained by defense
1 points per sack by the defense
2 points for a safety by defense
6 points for each touchdown scored by defense
2 points for each blocked kick[9]


Most of my friends get huge swings from defensive players like a pick 6 etc. Or if you have Tom Brady and he averages 3 TDs a game or 400-500 yards a game lol Its luck of the draw.

Now there are more "players" that their are players in the league obviously. So weekly there is a waiver wire where you can change your people out for other available people. So if you think this week Tim Tebow is going to have a better week than Matt Leinhart, then you can claim Tebow off waivers if hes available and send Matt Leinhart out. BUT you lose Matt Lenihart (if someone else picks him up).

You can also propose trades with other teams, like offer me Tebow for Tom Brady or vice versa.

Im down for doing it, Ive never done a FF league but i will give it a shot. Just hoping the falcons dont choke this year
