Okay, I got the [spreadsheet up](https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1waQehuY_9FmkUXiyFUj7BIUQQ9elsMkG7lViqcAfAi0/edit?usp=sharing). It currently contains the information from the thread, but some info is missing - I will fill that out later. But for now you can use it as a reference as to who you’ve used. Since I wasn’t filling these things out, I didn’t notice that Omni and Wilson stopped participating. Since we’re all friendly and this isn’t a competition over money or anything, I want to be as inclusive as I can be as far as getting people to play, so if no one minds, if those two still want to play, I’ll let them make double picks every week until they catch up. ---

> [@dalej42](#): > > WR Jimmy Graham (We’ve been allowed to use a TE in the WR slot in the past) The totals are actually passing, rushing, and receiving yardage - I just shorten them to QB/RB/WR. But if you wanted to use, say, Darren Sproles in the receiving slot, or a tight end, that’s fine. > [@dalej42](#): > > Qb: Disqualified, I double dipped by mistake with Stafford I’ve been letting other people make up for these since I’ve been procrastinating on the spreadsheet, so I’ll let you fix this one too. You can pick two QBs this week if you want. Anyway, once the spreadsheet is up and kept up to date, I may become more strict in enforcing screw ups like that from here on out, so try to be mindful of it. ---
