I've never used espn for ff but all of that is mostly automated.  The live draft should remove players that are unavailable and you should be able to see who you as well as everyone else has drafted.

Best advise I can give is.....pick your long snapper in the first round, special teams wedge breaker 2nd, place kick holder 3rd, then start looking to fill in some holes in rb, wr and qb. 

I don't know about espn site but there should be a way to edit your draft list and that is what I do to put guys in the order I think they should be in so when I draft the list is already the way I want guys and if something happens and I get an auto draft then a guy I want won't get passed on if someone thats rated higher is available.

When will we drafting hehe.

Can anyone also give me some advice on how to do the draft? Do you use pen and paper and write down your picks and have a plan b and plan c if your chosen player is picked by someone else? Advice me please hehe.

If Wilson is the real deal then they may not be unhappy for that much longer, I know that happy Jets fans sounds like an oxymoron but we may actually get to see it, the only thing that worries me about Wilson is that he had a surgery on his throwing shoulder so he may end up as another Chad Pennington.

People make fun of the NFC East but it was the Patriots kriptonite, Eli Manning and his tendency to make magical throws whenever he was facing the Patriots really did a number on us.

Belichick is a great coach but he was given too much credit while people still underestimated Brady, when it comes to the defense and the special teams Belichick is a master, but when it comes to the offense he is terrible, especially at drafting, Brady covered that deficiency but since he is not there anymore we could see how bad the Patriots offense really was and it was not pretty, I hope you did not watched any Patriots games last year, I did as a fan and they were using trick plays just to get first downs, that is how awful they were at offense last year.

Patriots fan, must not be a fan of the NFL east then 

All kidding aside tom has put on a show from 2000 to today.  That's a tough spot to fill now that he is gone.  Personal opinion everyone said it was bellicheck but now that Tom is gone true colors gonna shine.  Bill should have retired the day that Tom left for florida.

Yeah right and that's why American football is being adopted all over the world.




Shit man I thought I was doomed being a Pats fan but in comparison I feel blessed!

At least we can both be happy we're not Jets fans!




Draft order is a bit over rated, I think I've done best drafting 5th overall and have gotten screwed the couple times I drafted first.
2 picks in a row can be an advantage.

Okay, so the hash-gods are plotting against me?  Typical, after such a difficult childhood.  I've had to deal with adversity all my life.  My mother abandoned me on a daily basis, leaving me to fend for myself among other uneducated derelicts and screaming yard-duties.  These traumatic experiences only strengthened my will, not only to survive, but to also succeed. 

3rd spot nice.  I still have to get payment over.  I will send it over by the end of the weekend.  Have we figured out a draft date yet?  Can't wait for the season to start feels like forever ago last season ended.  Looking forward to the giants competing for a solid playoff spot this year.

Seems to me like football’s popularity is fading fast. I’m finding more and more basketball fans or fighting fans and less and less football supporters these days. I can’t help but blame their management. Some of it might also have to do with the brutality of the sport and the brain issues being made public by former players, but I feel like they’ve got a long way to go before the NFL figures out a way forward.

In the case there is an outbreak among vaccinated players the game can still be postponed or canceled but the league will do the best to minimize the costs to both teams, also there is no mention about the game being forfeited in the case of the game being canceled so those teams would most likely play a 16 game season, while if this happened for an outbreak of unvaccinated players and the game was canceled a forfeit will take place.



Well there is nothing to do, luck has spoken, in fact if you take a look at the 692223 and 692224 blocks they had my numbers so I was this close to retain the 1st pick of the draft and instead I got the 5th.

Anyway now that we know where we are going to pick you can begin to make your draft board and see which kind of players will be around when you finally pick, besides this is not as bad as it may seem, remember this is a snake draft so your second pick will not be the 14th but the 11th as the draft order will be in reverse during that round so you can still pick some good players.

I saw you, tough luck but it is what it is.


Barkley is still recovering so he may not be ready for the start of the season and this should be taken into account for the draft.

Which was to be expected, after all the competitive advantage that teams will win if they reach the 85% threshold to loosen the restrictions could be the difference between winning and losing a critical game and to have an advantage on the playoffs, and in just one day since the memo was made public two more teams reached the threshold.

I know you are joking but right now trading picks is disabled on the league, however this can be enabled if there is enough demand among the league participants.

I have no idea what I'm doing so it doesn't really matter which spot I have. I'm open to offers. How much for the 4th pick? Starting bid 15 BTC.

^ me waiting for the hash lottery to call my name yesterday , at least i was not last, but that's okay...Ezekiel Elliott, Saquon Barkley, Nick Chubb pool, first pick here i come. I mean we are all going to have super-stacked teams but how is everybody liking their draft spots?


In regards to the NFL memo, if you decline the jab and you are tier 1: coaches, staff, essential workers you are basically out:

"Vikings Dismiss O-Line Coach Rick Dennison For Refusing COVID-19 Vaccine"

"Report: Cole Popovich No Longer Part Of Patriots Coaching Staff, Decision Related To COVID-19 Vaccine"
source: https://boston.cbslocal.com/2021/07/23/cole-popovich-reportedly-no-longer-part-of-patriots-coaching-staff/

The fix is in!

6th pick. NFL experts give me a chance.

@South Park. What if it is a vaccinated player? The NFL is clearly using this rule to force players to get the vaccine. I reckon the players should show solidarity and walk out.

In any case, Aaron Rodgers will certainly leave. This is not about money. He clearly wants to play in another team.



Aaron Rodgers turned down a two-year extension offer from the Green Bay Packers this offseason, sources told ESPN's Adam Schefter.

The deal, sources said, would have tied the reigning MVP to the Packers for five more seasons and made him the highest-paid quarterback and player in football.

These are the results of the block hash lottery:


692225      c   1st pick      nutildah
692226      e   2nd pick      Hueristic
692227      9   3rd pick      wheelz1200
692228      7   4th pick      suchmoon
692229      1   5th pick      South Park
692230      0   NA
692231      9   NA
692232      1   NA
692233      f   NA
692234      b   6th pick      bbc.reporter
692235      f   NA
692236      4   7th pick      morvillz7z
692236      4   8th pick      DireWolfM14*

*The last block determined the two last spots unlike the rest which only determined one.


And this ends the lottery, you can verify the results and see if there is anything wrong, I will update the league a little bit later with the results.

And in news that could affect all fantasy leagues the NFL sent a memo to all teams stating the consequences for different scenarios regarding the covid pandemic, with the harshest being for an outbreak among unvaccinated players which could include the forfeit of that game, fines, covering the expenses of the opponent and the players not receiving the pay for that game.

Also vaccinated players will have a competitive advantage over unvaccinated players as they could return sooner in case they test positive.

@DireWolfM14. It was not misinterpreted. However, I am also very excited to send the payment today. The Bucks are winning by 8 points and might cover the spread hehehe. Also, everyone should send it while bitcoin price is low. It will be harder to send if bitcoin pumps back to $50,000 hehe.

^^--No worries.

I hope my previous post isn't misinterpreted.  I was only only expressing my excitement about looming season with those words, it had nothing to do with the payments.  We have until the draft before payment is due, and if I recollect we half-heartedly agreed on September 4-5.  No pressure.

@DireWolfM14. I told you in PM that I was sending you the payment yesterday or today after payment of my campaign. It appears I might send it next week, depending if the Bucks -5 covers the spread. If they win I will send it today hehehe.

I'll get to it before league starts.
gotta dig out cold storage info.
