Oak's NFL Fantasy League 2012

Sorry guys, been a little distracted lately. Thanks to** Enalzi** for a heads up that we’re short a player. Just sent an invite to It’s Not Rocket Surgery. If he can’t play, we’ll have to find someone else…

Between my other two leagues I am pretty sure I can find someone who is willing to jump into this crazy rule set. So send me a PM if you want me to post a request.

The email I got last night said 9:30 EST.

INRS has filled the spot, so I think we are good to go.

The draft is about an hour and 23 minutes away as I type this.

I hope all of my opponents create a rush on kickers and defense in the first two rounds :smiley:

45 minutes! Woot!

It will be nice to actually be here for the draft this year.

Draft Order is:

  1. Flying Megasharks
  2. Detroit Lurkers
  3. Oilers IKN
  4. Phoenix Redbirds
  5. 50 Shades of Mel Gray
  6. Lorem Ipsums
  7. Unrelated Siblings
  8. Darnassus Druids (Hey, that’s me!)
  9. Chicago Bears
  10. Cliffs Claivins

Your 2012 Darnassus Druids:

QB1: Peyton Manning
QB2: Phillip Rivers
WR1: Steve Smith
WR2: Mike Wallace
WR3: Lance Moore
RB1: Adrian Peterson
RB2: Reggie Bush
TE: Jimmy Graham
W/R/T: Mark Ingram

BN1: Alex Smith
BN2: Ryan Fitzpatrick
BN3: Anquan Boldin
BN4: Dustin Keller
BN5: Ben Tate
BN6: Austin Collie

K: Matt Bryant

D/ST: New Orleans

After Week 6, I’ll consider offers for one of my QBs not named Manning, unless he dies or something.

DOH!

This does not bode well…

The day after the draft, NE Pats decide to drop my star receiver (Deion Branch).

Dammit!

At least I’ve got a back up or two…

There’s a new mini-game this year. It’s a Pick’em contest within our league. You pick the winners of the weekly matchups, and get bragging rights, Yahoo medals, etc. Totally optional, but it is available for anyone that wants to do it.

No one else wanted Ryan Williams off the waiver wire? I’ll happily take him.

Wait, I thought I drafted him. What are you talking about?

I think I picked the wrong week to quit smoking crack, posted in wrong league. I picked him up in the auction league.

Don’t forget, the first game of the season is Wednesday night. Cowboys v Giants. If you have players on those teams, set your rosters early…

I’ve got Rivers, Anquan Boldin, and 11 points against Ray Rice for the win tomorrow night. Feeling pretty good about my chances to avenge last year’s opening week loss to Cliff’s Clavins…

Well, unless Antonio Gates somehow loses 10 points, it looks like I’ll be starting out 1-0. But we’ve still got 4 matches that could easily go either way heading into tonight. It looks like it’ll be a very exciting league this year.

After the scoring correction last night I just need each of my three players left in play to score 8 points to take the win.

That’s a big if, it’s way too close for my personal comfort levels. Welker and Nicks seriously underperformed in their games, but I think Palmer, Torrey Smith, and my Kicker can pull it off. It would be nice to start off the season with a win in this league.

3-0 Oakland

3-0 Cincinnati

Remember there is Thursday Night Football now. Packers-Bears tonight, so if you’ve got players on those teams, make any roster adjustments you want before kickoff…

Life has been crazy lately. I missed the draft and didn’t even realize the season started. We’ll see what I can do with this team. First on the trading is block is Andre Johnson for a decent quarterback. Any takers?
