[quote=“Jules\_Andre, post:19, topic:917699”]  
I agree about the Michael Thomas pick, even for a 1st rounder that is outstanding. However, that was the chalk pick as every other WR left on the board was drafted far behind him at the time. It is easier to get a pick right when you have no other options.  
[/quote]Will Fuller was the “chalk” pick, he was real drafted at #21 while Thomas was #47.

I’ve found multiple dynasty ADP sites which all confirm that Will Fuller was drafted, on average, 3 spots later in rookie drafts. In dynasty startups, Thomas was taken around pick #77, Fuller was outside the top 175. I can cite these, but I can’t post pictures in the thread.

We’re a week away from the scheduled deadline for roster cuts to make room for draft picks. We haven’t had everyone check in in the thread yet, so hopefully everyone will say hello to let us know they are back again this season. We won’t have a ton of time to find replacements, if anyone pulls a Varlos.

BTW, I’m open for business. No one on my roster is untouchable and I know Julio is really the big prize. I’m looking for at minimum a first rounder plus a sweetener or two for him.

I have been very bad about managing my fantasy leagues this year. My bad. I’m sorry. The board switchover, doubts about the NFL season even happening, and general declining interest in football/fantasy has made me lazy about it. But I’m still very serious about this league and should’ve been on top of things.

So far RNATB, Overly Sentimental, Ol’Gaffer, and Petey haven’t checked into the thread. I sent them an e-mail to hopefully get them to check in and confirm they’ll be participating as normal this year.

Our membership is usually very dedicated and stable so I don’t worry too much about confirming everyone and replacing anyone on a regular basis. But I’d like to remind you that if you aren’t going to be able to participate in this league, definitely try to tell us early so we can work on a replacement, don’t just leave us hanging at the last minute. It’s a much more complicated affair to replace someone in this league than others, both because of legacy concerns and because we try to vet owners to a much higher degree than other leagues.

I’m not enthused about fantasy or real football this year. I don’t think they will play 16 games. But I’ll play if I’m needed to keep an even number of teams.

To echo Petey’s statement, since I can’t figure out how to quote on this awesome new system,  
I’m also not enthused. I don’t expect they’ll finish the season. I’m not excited about fantasy for reasons beyond that, but I said I’d do this and I will honor that.  
That said, if you guys think that this is the right time to discuss a contraction/redistribution/reassignment or whatever, please do. I’ve enjoyed this but I don’t think I’m on a positive trend in terms of my attention levels. However, you can count on me to do enough to keep my team “competitive”, if I’m still here.

I’m here, I’ve gotten a few trade inquiries to respond to, I’m going to get shit in order for this league and my money league today. The other sports have kept things going so I’m fairly sure the NFL will as well, and they’re less reliant on ticket sales to be begin with

Yes, I desperately need an RB2. An RB3 wouldn’t hurt either.
