We have a problem over in the [dynasty league](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/sdmb-fantasy-football-dynasty-league-year-18/1032336) (don’t worry about the bylaw minutia, it’s not that complicated) where one of our managers hasn’t posted on the boards in months despite the draft starting soon. We want to give him every chance to retain ownership of his team, but I have no idea why he’s missing or if he’ll be back. I was thinking if he doesn’t show up soon, we could use someone who is willing to run the draft on his behalf, doing their best to manage his roster until Omni can take it over. Ideally, someone who might be interested in taking over his team and playing the league long term in the event that he doesn’t come back. For anyone that doesn’t know, a dynasty league is one in which you can keep any and all of your players. We have very deep 15 man benches so you can carry players long term that you think will develop into stars in a year or two. In a way, it’s sort of like a super keeper league. We draft rookies and anyone not currently owned by another player. The draft occurs over a couple of weeks in the thread, which allows a lot of research and trading. It’s a very different and pretty rewarding experience. We’re on 18 years which is one of the longest running dynasty leagues in the world and we’ve only had 6 managers turn over in all those years. We want to give Omni every chance to come back, but if you’d be interested in proxy drafting for his team with the possibility of taking it over if for some reason he can’t come back, let me know - either PMs or post over in the dynasty thread. ---

@Omniscient is the missing owner here as well. For this league - the draft is now set for 9/8 at 8:30pm. I’ll get the draft order posted here and set in the league in the next day or two. For keepers, let’s set 9/5 as a target date, but I’m flexible. Mine for now are: Blake Corum in round 10 Harold Fannin Jr in round 13 Jaxson Dart in round 14 ---

Thanks for helping out in the dynasty league, @Wilson. Unfortunately, I have no one who can fill in for Omni in this league. I’ll keep looking. My keepers (as of now) Quinshon Judkins in the 7th round Chris Rodriguez Jr in the 10th round Pat Bryant in the 12th round ---

@Jules_Andre, I’m going to give @Omniscient more time in this league, since we really only need keepers a few days before the draft on 9/8. But thanks for stepping up! ---

Hey folks. Checking in. Looks like I was tardy on getting back into the board this year. I’m traveling this weekend for my big annual IRL league draft. Was planning on checking in on Monday, but I haven’t checked the draft dates yet… ---

I am apparently completely unable to figure out how to create a poll… @SenorBeef any chance you could help out? For the scheduling options discussed in post 2? ---

This poll is about how many playoff teams and how many weeks are in the regular season. _Poll ([view on site](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/he-hate-me-fantasy-football-2026-year-24/1031985/34))_ When you’re typing up a reply in the normal desktop view (not sure if it appears in the mobile view) there’s a + option on the far right of the tool bar. That’s where “build poll” lives. ---

Thanks! I see it now; totally missed that I had to scroll down to see it 🙂 We’ll need a clear majority to make a change; hopefully we’ll get enough votes. ---

At this point, we’re missing keeper declarations for: @dalej42 Jayden Daniels Fanboy (my nephew, he’s considering Tyler Warren but maybe not) Go Sports Gang @Gosportsgang @Omniscient Baltimore Weirdos Still targeting Saturday to get keepers, but that’s flexible. And of course if anyone wants to change who they have already declared, feel free. ---
