I’m in.

Cool. Twelve more to go…

As a refresher on offseason trading, you are free to trade away any and/or all of the players listed above as eligible keepers. The 3 keeper limit is unrelated to offseason trading; it doesn’t kick in until the keeper deadline, which is after the trading period.

I’ll post the draft pick value chart once all 14 owners join the yahoo league and I can set the draft order.

4

I’m in as well… gee, wonder who I will keep?

5

Someone stop playing this year so I can get in.

6

It’s amazing that our league is lasting longer than our namesake’s career.

I’m getting tuned up; I have the NFL network on when I’m not watching anything else, running in the background as I run my villain empire.

So, anyone want to trade for Drew Bledsoe?

:smiley:

7

I’ll trade you Keyshawn for him, straight up…

8

Much to the chagrin of the other owners, I am in once again. Let the battle for second place begin!!!

9

My ability to curse the health of QBs will be returning again. If you wish you rival’s starting QB to be injured now is the time to trade their keeper rights to me. Colts fan with Tom Brady on your roster? I’m listening. Steeler’s fan with Carson Palmer? Let’s talk.

So far I’m 4 for 4, from Vick to McNair to Leftwich to McNabb, I’ve yet to have a guy play more than 8 games in a season. You know, now that I look at it, maybe I should just draft a white guy.

10

Wait, is Michael Vick black?

11

I’m not sure, his helmet is anyways, besides that I can’t recall ever seeing him on TV…

12

Give a man a fish, and he can eat for a day.

Teach a man to draft keepers, and he can eat for three years.

I’m in. Someone give me a bucket of chicken and more beer.

13

I’m volunteering at a burn victim orphanage until week 1. KARMA’S BITCH NO LONGER! Viva “DrewBrees’Birthmark”!

14

And I have to say, before the whole dog thing, I was absolutely going to make Vick my 3rd keeper over Chicago. Looks like karma was against me even in the offseason.

15

We’re up to 12 so far, only waiting now on Weirddave and Spiritus Mundi. Not that there’s anything to do for the next few weeks except plan trade proposals, of course.

Keep hope alive, LOUNE, you were #1 on the wait list even before you posted to this thread.

Damn, I was just looking at your keepers. Cedric Benson and Brandon Jacobs, eh? Paired with whatever RB you pick up in the first round, you just might dig out of the karmic hole you fell into last year. (Dick!)

16

fingers crossed
I’m rather fired up for football. Minicamps are going to have my head turning from side to side like a cat in a house of flies.

17

I have my personal league open too; got a good draft time- Sep 4 at 9:30 pm.

Send me an email if you’d like to join this one.

18

I am really not a fan of the current distribution on team defense:

Points Allowed 0 points (15)
Points Allowed 1-6 points (11)
Points Allowed 7-13 points (6)
Points Allowed 14-20 points (0)
Points Allowed 21-27 points (-2)
Points Allowed 28-34 points (-4)
Points Allowed 35+ points (-7)

only one team in the league last year allowed less than 14 points: Baltimore, with 12.8 points allowed per game. New England was next with 14.8.

Giving zero points for a GOOD performance (e.g., 17 points allowed) and giving negative points for a fairly decent performance (e.g. 21 points) does not seem fair. It is not in line with the points system for all the other positions in the league.
I propose

Points Allowed 0 points (15)
Points Allowed 1-6 points (11)
Points Allowed 7-13 points (7)
Points Allowed 14-20 points (3)
Points Allowed 21-27 points (1)
Points Allowed 28-34 points (-2)
Points Allowed 35+ points (-6)

comments?

It’s good to discuss; I’m actually glad you brought it up. The DEF scoring was basically just a WAG based on the discussion linked in the OP. The original idea was that 17 and under is a “win”, similar to how a “good” day passing is 300 yards and for a rusher it’s 100. Whether or not these bits of conventional wisdom correlate to game day is the appropriate question to ask.

Using pro-football-reference.com as a source, I copy/pasted the 2006 schedule for all 32 teams into a text file and then did some clever Search & Replace operations to create a csv file for easy analysis in Excel. (For some reason VBulletin won’t let me stick the list inside code tags, so I’ll send it via email upon request.)

Combining your numbers and mine, I get:

Best team average: 12.6
Average team avg: 20.66
Worst team average: 25.8

Points: 10,577
Games: 512
Mean: 20.66 (Average)
Median: 20 (Midpoint)
Mode: 20 (Most common)
StDev: 10.11

Bucketed Game Totals:

Gms %Of512 Points

015 02.93% 0
023 04.49% 1-6
094 18.36% 7-13
127 24.80% 14-20
136 26.56% 21-27
069 13.48% 28-34
048 09.38% 35+

512 100%

I haven’t yet formulated an opinion based on these numbers. In the meantime, any thoughts are welcome.

Ellis,

Those are some really nifty stats. I’m not quite sure what to do with them, but I likes what you’re doing.

Interestingly, I think with enough statistics like these you could come up with the ultimate ideal fantasy football scoring system by quantifying the contributions from all the various roster positions.
