How many teams were there last year? When is the draft?

My team is the TurfBurns. Good luck to all.

michreject, I'm not an experienced fantasy football player, having only one season under my belt and it was through Yahoo. I notice that the draft is offline and I don't see a date. How does it work and when it will take place? Thanks for getting things set up!

27. A 14-team league
Wed Aug 24, 2016, 12:31 PM
Aug 2016

is going to be great.

I'm in one other fantasy football league this season and we held our draft on Tuesday. There's only 10 teams and that leaves a lot of quality players as free agents. You're looking at your 8th, 9th and 10th round picks and thinking there's plenty of options on the waiver wire that are just as good, maybe better.

When we were facing the prospect of a 20-team league here at one point, I was worried about the opposite: it would be awfully slims pickings by the late rounds!

But with 14 teams we should have a happy medium where you will have to scrutinize hard to find decent options on the waiver wire, but they will exist.

14 teams will eat up a lot of the quality starters. Bye weeks are gonna be a bitch to cover. Rather than trade a player on bye, you might play a vacant spot in order to keep the player.

I won't be available to make my picks, unfortunately, but I spent an hour or two editing my draft order, ranking players and creating a list of guys I don't want.

Good luck to all (but not too much luck!).

Congrats to Callahan's Crew (Jon) for winning this year's DU FF league. And thanks to everyone who participated and to michreject for getting the league set up.

If you're interested in entering the NFL Playoff Challenge, nfl.com (which hosted our FF league), has a new contest set up and it will be ready to launch anytime now since the last regular season game is now in the books:

http://playoffchallenge.fantasy.nfl.com/


Question: Is there a DU fantasy baseball league? If not, do we have some people here who would be interested in taking part when spring rolls around?

I was in Iceland and forgot I had Rothy at QB and didn't change my lineup. Great win.

I'll probably be in for this next year, too.

Is the Playoff Challenge just against everyone or are we doing a DU group?

I'd dare say we're going to be on our own. If I'm wrong and a bunch of people express interest, we could form a group. We have a few days to see where it goes...

The late inactive for Carlos Hyde hurt you, too.

Though I picked up Deangelo but forgot to substitute Rawls at the last minute as a major fail

Week 17 games always make problems...
