(12,132 posts)in yahoo i can join a league that already exists but this one will only let me join a random league - can't find the place to enter DU league information...
OriginalGeek
(12,132 posts)I was on a tablet and it was loading the mobile site by default
but now when I search through custom leagues with that league ID # is says no results.

(4,378 posts)But will eliminate those teams from last year whose owners have not responded to several emails about playing this year.
True Dough
(20,264 posts)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!

(29,348 posts)For the fantasy league, there are still about 10 openings.
michreject
(4,378 posts)Waiting for current players to decide. I'm going to give it to Wed.

(20,264 posts)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.

michreject
(4,378 posts)What do you want?
michreject
(4,378 posts)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.

(20,264 posts)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!).
michreject
(4,378 posts)I can be bribed.

True Dough
(20,264 posts)Then I'll know how much joking you are doing.

(20,264 posts)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:

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?

(22,340 posts)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?
True Dough
(20,264 posts)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...

(813 posts)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...
