Fantasy Sports

Kobi · 04-30-2010, 02:01 PM

Does anyone but me participate in fantasy sports programs?

I usually use Yahoo and am proud of my lil trophies. Interesting how I do better in sports I don't know much about i.e. basketball.

Looking for folks who know something about baseball cuz my teams are sucking the big one this year and I can't figure how to turn them around.

ruffryder · 08-21-2011, 09:52 AM

Who is your top 5 QB, RB, WR, DEF ? Who are you looking to get or who did you get? ...

I will get back on this as soon as I brush up on my fantasy football magazine and getting my draft ready!

The_Lady_Snow · 08-21-2011, 09:54 AM

Our draft is next week!!

ruffryder · 08-21-2011, 09:58 AM

My draft is supposed to be tonight. I may have to change that unless I can get at least one more manager. I'm trying hard. . LOL Time to start messaging people individually! haha.. I'm excited. Need to brush up on the players. A lot has changed since last season! Looking forward to this NFL season..

Hi Matthew,

Fantasy football is not that hard if you have basic football knowledge and it's also helpful to have up-to-date knowledge of the NFL and it's players and trends. Even if you only know a little you can win as some of the results could be considered just "lucky". I guess you could say it's a combination of luck and knowledge!

You can join in various spots, yahoo sports, NFL.com, and ESPN.com all have leagues and it's free to join. Many years ago when I had never played before I joined a public group. So basically I didn't know anyone in the league and they didn't know me which was fine. There was a little smack talking but it didn't bother me. I think I still did pretty good for a newbie if memory serves me right.

I like FF a lot, so much so I've started my own leagues pretty much every year since then. My league is all full up and I am happy to say the team managers seem really into it more than ever this year.

I'm excited about drafting Thursday night!!!! WHUT WHUT!!!!!

FEAR THE UNICORN!!! GO UNIZ!

Kobi,

It's been a couple years since I was in a league but I played and have won 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place tropies. I'm not boasting, I'm just saying it's almost a job to get on the computer to keep up with daily stats, injuries, and watch Baseball Tonight on ESPN.

I don't remember the name of the websites but you can usually find out who's going to be pitching against your team mates the next day and you can look up to see how your players have historically done against that pitcher, in that ballpark and with that information you can make a decision whether to play them or bench them for the next game. That's how I played it.

ruffryder · 08-24-2011, 12:04 PM

Had my draft Monday night.. This is what I ended up.
I'm pretty happy with it. We only have 10 teams so I'm sure everyone got some great players! I'm ready for some football! (:

QB - Romo, E. Manning

WR - Colston, Welker, Rice, Britt

RB - Moreno, McFadden, Turner, McCoy

TE - Pettigrew

K - Carpenter

DEF - SD, NYG

D - Suggs, Beason, Allen, J. Johnson, C.

Sounds like a good mix to me. I was having a heck of a time trying to figure out who to pick given the number of players who were switching teams. But I did draft 2.

On one:

qb - Brady and Schaub
rb - Grant, Jones-Drew, Whitehead
wr - Holmes, Rice, Collie, Thomas, Floyd
te - Gates and Hernandez
k - Crosby
d - Green Bay

On the other:

qb - Vick, Freeman
rb - Hillis, Grant, Woodhead
wr - Rice, Manningham, Harvin, Thomas, Burress
te - Gates, Shiancoe
k - Kaeding
d - Philadelphia

I need to trade for better rb's LOL

that's cool Kobi. Hillis and Jones-Drew should be good. Is Whitehead and Woodhead just coming into the NFL?

Spelling error there. Both should say Woodhead. Danny Woodhead is a rb version of Wes Wekler that the Patriots picked up when the Jets cut him early last year. He is short, compact, and fearless. He did rb and special teams last year. He is a risk given the Patriot committee approach to the game but I just like the guy.

Queerasfck · 08-25-2011, 07:24 AM

Drafting tonight! Looking forward to it, hope my internet doesn't bug out in the middle of my draft.

ruffryder · 08-25-2011, 08:25 AM

that's always a risk John and we all worry about it. heh. Have fun at your draft! Hope you come out with some players you want.

Totes! A lot of luck and "borrowed" knowledge from John Shaft led to me winning the league championship last year, despite having slept through the draft and playing against MUCH more knowledgeable managers. I'm sure it sucked for them when I won!
