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](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=664320) 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. 2009 results Official (adjusted for dropping worst week) score: 1. VarlosZ 7185 2. RNATB 7172 3. notfrommensa 7072 4. Lieu 6809 5. SenorBeef 6662 6. Wilson 6338 7. Omniscient 6084 2010 results 1. SenorBeef 4601 2. RNATB 4497 3. Varlos 4475 4.

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](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=701533). Pick em leagues are still open for sign ups too. ---
