I am terrible at Fantasy Football!!!
If everyone comebacks from the previous season and with the addition of @seek3r and @yahoo62278 then it seems we reached the goal to expand to a 12 player league, but maybe we should check just in case as maybe not everyone has the time to join the league this year.

Assuming everyone returns, should we change the playoff format? And let 6 teams to move to the playoffs with the top two teams getting a BYE or maybe expand it to 8 teams as some may not like not playing their teams on the most important part of the season?

About the second league, I am in, now we just have to wait to see if there is enough interest on it.

And finally about the sleeper app, does it has a browser version so can I draft and do all what I could need to manage a team? If not and the majority decides to migrate to the app I will make do, but I really prefer to do things from my desktop computer rather than to use apps as the size of the font is kind of small, so if the sleeper website has that option that would be great.

Training Camp has officially opened...so exciting that football has officially begun!

Check out this clip of Rodgers to Wilson yesterday..man this stuff is so exciting to me https://www.youtube.com/shorts/BGZY3W1E1xM



So I'm not saying we should switch to Sleeper for our league, let me start off emphatically expressing that...but that being said, I just did my first draft (dynasty) on sleeper and man it's a great fantasy app, and if it's not already the best one, it's going to be.  It's way more in-depth than any other app out there.  I'm becoming a huge fan.  It's a bit complicated at first, but once you figure out all the nuances, it really shines. 

Just thought I'd share some screen shots of some of the features just so you guys have an idea how it looks.  I know Sleeper has been discussed here a few times..




When you scroll to the far right of the app, you've got all these great links.  What I really like is the news, the podcasts and the advice section.  Really cool stuff.  You can tell they are working hard to make this the ultimate fantasy platform

Let me know what I need to do to join this cause I definitely could use more distractions in my life.

I see an opportunity here.  Does the league need a hazing ritual for new members?  Let's put it up to a vote for all of last year's participants.  You know, like the clusterfuck for all the league settings we had last year.  I feel hazed.   Kiss

My suggestion for the league hazing ritual; find the shittiest shitpost that you have made (and survived the mods) and post it in the hall of shame thread.

 Wink Welcome aboard!

Speaking of hazing, this is a buddy of mine from college.  You may have heard about the Northwestern Football coach being fired due to hazing "rituals"  which were a part of their program, and he was interviewed having played there is freshman year and for having spoken out against it on twitter (he came to Southern IL Univ his Jr and Sr year I believe it was, hence when we met).  Just though you guys might find this interesting..

We are only 8 Sundays away from NFL football action.  Training Camp starts up here in like a week I believe.  I can smell the football in the air! lol

Hah, funny I was reading this thread earlier and thinking we might want to do something as we did talk about something similar last year IIRC.

I thought the fan letter to your losing QB until he responds was a pretty good one.

Justin Jefferson might not be good to draft for this season. Yes, Kirk Cousins said it is okay for him not be included in Justin Jefferson's list of top 5 quarterbacks in the NFL. However, Cousins will show his real feelings on the field hehehehe. No throws for Justin on 2023 hehehe.
While sometimes this can be disregarded as an irrelevant comment, how many times we have seen good players defending their subpar QBs even if deep down they know they are lying to the media? The fact Jefferson took the opportunity to take a shot at Cousins with his rankings tell us he is not happy with him either, after all he could have easily excluded Rodgers due to his age from the list and add Cousins as a friendly gesture.
I guess you should always try to hype up your guy, but let's be honest Cousins isn't really all that good. He chokes in primetime games and the Vikings were in way too many 1 score games last year. He's top 12 in the league but not top 5 and the only 1s that should consider putting him in their top 5 are his own receivers.

Have we found our 12th participant?

Hello @yahoo62278, I hope your health is getting better.
I wanted to participate last year but it filled before I saw it. If there is an open spot I definitely want it. As far as my health goes, i'm good enough to be at home and not in the hospital, so that's a positive.

Cousins isn’t also all that bad. There’s plenty of quarterbacks in the NFL whom are much worse than Kirk who are still starting quarterbacks in the league. Cousins doesn’t have to be good enough to win a championship in order to give Justin Jefferson elite value, he’s just got to be good enough to be able to get him the ball well enough to do his thing, which he is.


Looks like Titans are signing DHop. Doesn’t do me any good for my Treylon Burks pick this year in Dynasty.

Do not take the reply seriously, I was only making a funny comment hehe. I am quite certain Justin Jefferson will remain one of the highest ranked players during our fantasy draft. He might be there with Cooper Kupp on ranks no.3 or no.4.

Vikings quarterback Kirk Cousins offered an honest perspective on Thursday regarding his take on being overlooked by teammate Justin Jefferson on his list of the top-five quarterbacks in the NFL.

A clip of the star receiver from a recent trip to Brazil as an NFL ambassador went viral earlier this month after Jefferson tabbed, in order, Patrick Mahomes, Aaron Rodgers, Joe Burrow, Jalen Hurts and Josh Allen as the game’s best QBs.

During an appearance on KFAN-FM 100.3’s The Power Trip, Cousins was asked if it bothered him that he was excluded from Jefferson’s list. After initially saying he was unaware of the ranking, the 34-year-old graciously accepted the opinion before looking toward the pair’s future.

34 years of top tier HOF QBs, expect Love to make a 180 & become a HOFr too. Our luck.
If that were to happen that will surely put the Bears as the team with the worst QB luck ever, after all before Fields which was the best Bears QB ever? Jay Cutler? Jim McMahon? A guy that played 70 years ago or so?

If Love turned out to be a HOF that would mean the Bears would had to face four to five decades of masterful QB play, not even the AFC East faced that kind of nightmare scenario with Brady.

It’s insane but yes, statistically speaking, Jay Cutler is the best quarterback the Chicago Bears have ever had. I mean that’s just insane, and sad for Bears fans like myself.

I surely don’t expect Love to be the caliber of Favre or Rodgers (very few ever have been). I am praying that Fields comes out and finally gives us that quarterback that we’ve been so desperately searching for. I would say that they probably already have the worst luck ever in terms of QB play. They are one of the original teams too.

Lol, 82 NBA games aren't as demanding on a body as 17 NFL games.  It's a gladiator sport, with a ball thrown into the mix just for fun.

Mmm yes you have a good point here but, how do you can maintain that point when the brother sport of NFL (rugby) play the whole year , and also they dont make changes constantly between ofensive and defensive players. NFL games have ton of rest between efforts. Before anyone think im understimating the effort of NFL players, its huge and one of the most powerfulls when they have to make the strenght.

NFL has 18 weeks, recently having added another, and are likely to add one more game on soon. NFL football is more demanding than Rugby. There’s no possible way you can play that sport year round. The season is loaded with injuries, often times injuries that take 8-12 months to heal.  Also, adding shoulder pads and helmets help deliver blows to the body. Often times players get their “bell rung” several times a game. This is when your vision goes black (you’re blind) and you have what looks like a bolt of lightning go down the middle of this black “vision”, so to speak. These are mini concussions. Full on concussions also happen often to players and is absolutely horrific on the brain. A brain disorder, CTE (short version of the name) was recently discovered by a Dr. This is like what boxers get when they get punched in the head so many times. It often leads to many different types of mental health issues,  including many suicides.  The off-season is needed.  The NFL is by far America’s number one sport, they make plenty of money with what games they have.




I can't believe we're only a month away from a cursory preseason teaser, and only six weeks away from unofficial football.  To be honest, I haven't missed it.  I'm glad that this thread has been largely active all off-season, happy to see you guys are enjoying it.  But I just haven't had the heart heart for it.

After the 49ers' last game I began questioning reality.  Is this life real, or am I living in matrix-like experimental reality where cruelty is inflicted on test-subjects through chemically induced highs and lows as hallucinations of football and women?

I don't know, I just don't know.

Lol, you think you’ve got it bad, try being a Chicago Cubs and Bears fan. Yes the Cubs finally got one in 2016 but are back to being terrible and the Bears haven’t last won since 1985, and I was a year old, so obviously I didn’t get to enjoy it lol.

Rogers is out of their division so they should be good to go now. Wink

Lol I'm a die hard knicks fan so I can appreciate you questioning of reality 😂.

One thing is for sure San Fran is built to compete every year for the near term so enjoy the run.  Remember only one team wins it every year amd every other team is in exactly the same position.  Nfc is a wild card this year I can't figure out who will be on top.

Afc is a little easier as it's top heavy.  Can't wait!

I was excited after the superbowl and during the draft, however, I am presently in a similar mood as you after not witnessing the most exciting trade rumors occur. But things to be excited on during the next season would be Deshaun Massage Lover Watson in a complete season with his new team. Improvements and comeback of Russel Wilson after a bad season with the Broncos. The New York Jets and Mr. I am immunized Rodgers. The Bills next post season, no comment hehehehe.

In any case, what is the plan for our fantasy league? The same schedule, we draft 1 week before the regular season begins?
