SDMB NFL Yardage Pool 2013

Hey, before we start this thing, I’m going to take an interest list. Do we still want to do this? I like doing it, but it’s a minor hassle throughout the year. But if people are enjoying it and we’ve got 5+ players, I’ll keep running it.

Last year’s thread

Here’s how it works:

Every week you pick 3 players: One for passing yards, one for rushing, and one for receiving. You can only use each player once per year. At the end of the week, however many yards those 3 players in their respective category added up is your score for that week. For the sake of simplicity, only yardage in that category counts - if you pick a running back for rushing yardage, and he runs for 105 and receives for 45, you only score 105.

So a typical score might look like

Week X
Peyton Manning 312
Ray Rice 78
Calvin Johnson 47

QB yardage totals are cut in half to maintain parity between positions.

You’ll have to determine your own totals and post them to this thread. I started to do it all myself last year, but it was too time consuming, so everyone was nice enough to start posting their own totals. I take the numbers and post them all to a spreadsheet, which is updated weekly and viewable by everyone.

Everyone is welcome to join. So long as people post their own scores, it wouldn’t take me too much longer to manage a lot of people.

If you’re reading this after the season has begun, you can still join us - you won’t be in competition for the total scores, but you could win from week to week.

Man, that’s depressing, but looking up!!!

SB, no thanks. Just not much interest in NFL.

Have fun. and Good luck.

I’m game, and ready to pick Jeff Tuel as my QB for week 1.

Bwhaaaa! Dude, next year is now!

Good luck, guys.

Reporting for duty, my duty being to lead all season only to be pushed into second place in Week 17 as usual. No, wait, I’m the champeen!

I’m in again.

I’d be willing to play again. I’m going to be in far fewer fantasy leagues this year

Week 1:

Andrew Luck
Doug Martin
Reggie Wayne

Week 1 Picks

QB: Matt Ryan
RB: Jamaal Charles
WR: Julio Jones

Week 1

QB Jay Cutler
WR Larry Fitzgerald
RB CJ Spiller

I am definitely in. Need to spread around the fantasy love this year.

Week 1:

QB: Tom Brady
RB: Marshawn Lynch
WR: Antonio Brown

Week 1

Andrew Luck
Alfred Morris
Vincent Jackson

Still the same deal where we don’t need to have our picks in by Thursday unless we want someone playing that game, right?
(In other words, can I procrastinate some more?)

Yeah, players only have to be picked before the kickoff the game they’re involved in, so if you forget about this competition until Monday you can just pick 3 MNF players.

You guys will probably be interested in the new competition we’re getting going this year, the betting pool. Pick em leagues are still open for sign ups too.

Week 1:

**QB - **Tony Romo
**RB - **Stevan Ridley
**WR - **Pierre Garcon

QB: Tom Brady
RB: Alfred Morris
WR: Julio Jones

Remember if you miss kickoff for the early games you can pick from the later games.

Tom Brady
Doug Martin
Andre Johnson

178 + 68 + 96 = 253

QB: 288 + RB: 43 + WR: 71 = 402 Total
